For a cultivator who meditates in retreat, that is, in years, 140 years actually feels like there is not much time.

According to the records in the "Taixu Imperial Spirit Sutra", the retreat of the ninth layer of the foundation to break through to the Jindan realm may be as long as a hundred years.

According to the countless materials Ye Xing had read, he knew that many foundation building monks never came out as soon as they retreated, that is, they fell when the retreat hit the Jindan realm.

The vast majority of cultivators are unable to break through the Jindan realm at all, not only because of their qualifications and exercises, but also because of their limited resources.

This process requires up to 100 times more resources than the peak of foundation building, and it also requires the cooperation of various extremely suitable conditions to have the possibility of a breakthrough.

Ye Xing was in a hurry to go out to practice this time, and his goal was to find the cultivation resources needed to fully impact the Golden Pill.

And it wasn't him alone, but the entire Xuanyue Sect, as well as the health elixir needed by some of the core people of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, all of which needed to be collected by him.

The members of the "Nighthawk" are all ordinary people, at most they are just martial artists, and they can't help the high-level materials he wants to cultivate, and it is useless to give any amount of silver, which is not something that silver can solve at all.

According to the "Taixu Imperial Spiritual Formula", the requirements for breaking through to the Jindan stage are extremely high, and the key is to find a place where the aura is extremely strong for retreat, and there must be a condensation pill to cooperate, and now there are none of these conditions.

Staying in the small valley all the time, there can be no miracles, only when you go out to practice, you can hope to get some opportunities.

In fact, Ye Xing has his current cultivation, which he has obtained from continuous adventures in the past, he has no one to rely on, but there are many people behind him, waiting for his harvest.

Ye Xing left most of the resources, and he had to go out to collect them, and there were several key pills introduced in the "Taixu Imperial Spirit Formula", but there were no materials, no way to verify, and no one to guide him, and there was no progress in his own exploration.

Only go to the very vast world, no matter what, if you can't find the opportunity, you have to travel all over the world, the last time you went out was two years, and now you go out again, it is likely to be decades.

Now there are more than a dozen neighboring countries, they have already been there, and they already have a considerable understanding of these places, all possible resources are owned, and it is impossible for him to steal them, Ye Xing thinks that only by going farther and farther away may he be able to find the resources he needs.

That completely different Southern Barbarian Country, Ye Xing has also been there, its cultivation system is completely different, and the cultivation uses Gu techniques, which Ye Xing does not like, he especially hates all kinds of poisonous insects, as well as all kinds of poisonous items.

In fact, if you can join the Great Sect, you may have such resources, and only the unique inheritance of the Great Sect can help Ye Xing break through the Golden Pill, which is a difficult hurdle to get rid of 99% of the foundation building monks.

It's just that when it comes to such cultivation, it is impossible for Ye Xing to join other sects at all, and it is impossible for a person with advanced cultivation to be recognized, even if he is a guest qing, it is estimated that others are also wary.

If Ye Xing wants to find the resources he needs from other sects, it is absolutely impossible, he can only go farther, that is, to leave this area and go to the legendary extreme west, or unknown places.

Ye Xing flew back to Songcheng first, and came back again five years later, Songcheng has also changed a lot, the changes in the daily life of the people are the most obvious, and everything is really different.

Songcheng has become a city that never sleeps, the whole city has street lights, not too bright, but enough to see people, Songcheng at night, and daytime is no different, the business of shops, many are open all day.

The biggest event is that half a year ago, there were nine movie theaters in Song City, distributed near the nine main lively markets in the city, and every movie was a riot, and the cost was five yuan of Tianxing coins, which was not too cheap, but the people of Song City had money and could afford it.

Ye Xing specially bought a ticket to watch a movie, a song and dance film compiled from the ancient love story of the Song Kingdom, the first movie of the Tianxing Kingdom starring more than a dozen handsome men and beautiful women, has been on for six months, and it is still full every day.

Those dozen handsome men and beauties are already the most famous figures in the Star Country, and their popularity far exceeds that of the main leaders of the Star Country, and the Star Pictures, which makes movies, has become the richest enterprise in the Star Country, and the speed of making money is about the same as printing money.

Ye Xing also learned that all counties, or major towns, already have movie theaters, and movies are the hottest and most important topic among the people now, and countless boys and girls have watched only one movie dozens of times.

It is said that there are now 20 film companies registered in Tianxing Kingdom, and judging from the grapevine in the newspapers, there are dozens of movies being filmed, and in a few months, dozens of leading actors will become the most dazzling stars in Tianxing Kingdom.

The residents of Tianxing Country, most of the homes now use electrical appliances, electric lights, electric rice, electric cookers are very common, the latest household appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, have been placed in the most visible place of wealthy families, and telephones, cars have also entered many merchants and wealthy homes, becoming identity identification.

Fortunately, Songcheng does not have any industry, otherwise electricity is a big problem, now Songcheng's electricity consumption, mainly from a large coal mine two hundred away, with burning coal to generate electricity, long-distance transmission and sending, but many families use solar power generation devices, daily lighting and household electricity, can be self-sufficient.

The current level of science and technology in Tianxing Kingdom has made great progress, Ye Xing believes that it is about the level of the middle of the twentieth century on the earth, of course, the development of all walks of life is not balanced, and some have great original creations, especially in the cultural industry, even daily science and technology have their own characteristics.

Ye Xing walked around Song City for a whole day, before returning to Xuanyue Manor outside the city, contacting Duchamp, the two teleported to the headquarters of the "Nighthawk", and met with the researchers, Ye Xing once again gave the elixir of health care, and conditioned the body for all scientific and technological personnel and intelligence analysts.

The scientific and technological level of the "Nighthawk" has made great progress, and the performance of the electronic computer has been improved by a hundredfold, and more importantly, the development of the software system, the newly developed "Tianxing operating system" on the original basis has replaced the simple operating system developed by the original Ye Xing.

After five years of continuous use, revision and upgrading, the performance of the software dedicated to several core departments has also been greatly improved, and it is planned to continue to improve the performance in the future, and to organize the development of new applications.

"Nighthawk" has sold hundreds of patented technologies, and has already established component production plants in various parts of the Star Kingdom, and has produced LCD TVs and semiconductor radios, and is ready to start popularizing television throughout the country next year.

Many parts of the computer have been produced by external manufacturers, and the "Nighthawk" only retains the key components and technologies, and the main key departments of the Celestial Star Country have already used the computer, and many of the computers have been used by the network.

Next, we want to miniaturize and civilize electronic computers, and a team of 50 people is working on nationwide networking technology.

Ye Xing once again studied the process improvement and the direction of technology prospects, and expressed some personal insights on the core technology direction, manufacturing chips, batteries, optical transmission, networks and other future technologies.

Ye Xing particularly emphasized that these scientific and technological personnel should be miniaturized and civilianized, and their technology should be sold, so as to collect patent fees in order to maintain the high cost of various technical research.

In fact, now the "Nighthawk" is not only a secret intelligence agency, but also the birthplace of the latest technology, although it does not produce, but it collects patent fees every year, which is an extremely staggering tens of billions of Skystar coins.

It's just that this money is not enough for the cost of research and development technology, and "Nighthawk" and Xuanyuezong have also received up to 10% of the annual profits of several large enterprises such as Xingyue Logistics, Lin's Manufacturing, Tianxing Mining, and Tianxing Telecom, so as to maintain the normal operation of all work.

Of course, these large enterprises have also been transferred to the application of the latest science and technology, constantly improving their own business and product capabilities, and making money is of course extremely amazing, and they are already rich and rival the country.

Large enterprises also have their own R&D departments, mainly some functional improvement work, and the creative innovation of the general core comes from the technology transfer of "Nighthawk".

It's just that this is not necessarily all good, many industries already have an obvious trend of monopoly, and large groups control quite a lot of related industries, which Ye Xing does not allow, and it is exactly what he is worried about.

Back in Songcheng, Ye Xing went to the presidential palace first, asked to see President Mu Zilang, and had a brief exchange for a long time.
