Chapter 299: Rapid Development, Devouring Mineral Veins!

The Changxi spacecraft stayed on the Moon Surface for less than eighteen hours.

It then set sail again, carrying the returning personnel and a full load of supplies.

It was also when the Changxi spacecraft began its journey back through the sea of stars.

The spacecraft factory on the ground finalized the mass-production model through this test and began the mass-production process for the Changxi spacecraft.

Because of the gravity of Water Blue Star.

Currently, this type of spacecraft traveling between the Earth and the Moon, the Changxi, which can be paired with an electromagnetic rail for launch, is the spacecraft with the largest dimensions and transport capacity.

Because of this, the first production batch of the Changxi spacecraft reached three digits.

It is not that spacecraft larger than the Changxi were not in the design phase.

It is just that for this larger model of spacecraft, the experts tend to favor building them in future spaceports.

In order to speed up the plan, they have also submitted a cooperation proposal to Huang Zong and other agents, hoping to obtain help from the transcendent ones.

After all, compared to them slowly bringing the space station up and then slowly assembling it.

It is undoubtedly much faster to install it directly on the ground and then ask the transcendent ones to bring it to outer space on their way.

If they could also ask the transcendents to help with inspections and draw some life-saving Arrays to reduce the occurrence of accidents, that would undoubtedly be even better!

The experts do not feel that cooperating with transcendent power is embarrassing or detrimental to the dignity of science.

True experts all understand the principle of applying what one has learned.

In fact, there are plenty of technologies in this world's true science whose principles are unknown, which does not hinder the experts from using them.

Transcendent power can also be completely incorporated into the technical fields of unknown principles.

And in the absence of conflicts of interest, they would not go crazy like fanatical believers.

Those peers in history whose theories were overturned and who then took their own lives likely did so because a wrong theory meant that the large investments they had brought in, and even the learning costs of most of their lives, had gone down the drain.

This is something that practitioners in any industry have a probability of taking to the extreme.

It is just that after putting on a mysterious cloak, it gives people a kind of aesthetic illusion of technological theology.

Therefore, even highly respected experts are very willing to learn cultivation techniques after being tested and found to have talent.

At the same time, the scientific research department has never fallen behind in striving for Spirit Qi-nourishing materials.

Fortunately, as Su Ping's influence in the Cultivation World grows larger and Spirit Stones become abundant, there are more and more cooperation points here.

It has not reached the point where various departments that have discovered the benefits of Spirit Qi-nourishing materials fall into fierce infighting to compete for materials.

After Su Ping completed the experiment of the Nuclear Explosion Divine Talisman in the Pot Heaven.

He returned to Water Blue Star.

He pondered for a moment, then gave the request for more Nuclear Bombs to Huang Zong and the others.

Huang Zong and other disciples have already merged with the Morning Star Church of Bangzi Country and the Shrine of He Mao Chun Yi Lang.

They jointly established a material procurement and logistics transportation company.

And through this logistics company, which looks like a private company but is treated as a high-standard official unit by all forces, they took out the large amount of currency earned from various forces and exchanged it for various materials.

Nuclear Bombs are just one of the more expensive materials among them.

It is also with Su Ping's demand for Nuclear Bombs.

It has enabled the Nuclear Bomb manufacturing and research industry, which had fallen into a trough, to be revitalized.

And as Su Ping discovered his demand for Nuclear Bombs.

These departments naturally received preferential treatment.

Using reasons such as cooperation condolences, or that the Nuclear Bombs are very useful and the transcendent big shot is very satisfied and thus gave rewards, etc.

These departments have received no small amount of high-grade Spirit Rice and Spirit Meat.

Some key figures were even specifically named to be rewarded with Pills for strengthening the body, to ensure they could stay up late continuously without dying suddenly!

Consequently, having received the benefits and feeling such great importance, they worked hard to satisfy the buyer.

Different Nuclear Bomb departments all put their best efforts into recruiting talent, designing better Nuclear Bombs as much as possible to satisfy the needs of the big shots.

After giving the instructions, Su Ping saw some requests from major forces submitted by Huang Zong and the others.

Regarding the matter of helping with the construction of the spaceport.

Su Ping's eyes lit up, he immediately agreed, and with a thought, he let Zhang Qiudao and others who came out of the Zhenwu Fumo Shenmiao take charge of this matter.

These locally born Daoists have mostly already achieved Qi Refining, and Zhang Qiudao, who has talent, has even reached Mid-stage Qi Refining.

And these are not the main points.

As members of the crash course, they also have the qualification to receive the worship of the Heavenly Soldier divine statues of the Zhenwu Fumo Shenmiao.

Relying on the Heavenly Soldier divine statues entering the body.

They can invite the Heavenly Soldier to manifest or possess them to fight in a short time, thereby being able to be used as Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators for a short time.

Combined with the addition of the Chengying mechas that have begun to mature.

It seems more than enough to help with the construction of the spaceport.

And after the spaceport is built.

Large spacecraft capable of long-distance voyages to planets such as Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth can naturally be put on the agenda.

Su Ping believes that the benefits these larger planets bring to him will not be lower than those of the Moon.

He does not need to worry that as the number of Golden Core Spirit Beasts he cultivates increases and the productivity of Water Blue Star becomes stronger.

He will fall into the embarrassment of a clever housewife being unable to cook without rice.

After sending messages to agents in various places, letting them give the green light to the spaceport plan.

Su Ping looked again at the reports submitted from various places on Water Blue Star.

Then, through Divine Sense and his connection with the guardian gods in various places, he confirmed that there were indeed no problems worth his personal intervention in the short term.

The next second.

Su Ping used a Return to City Talisman and returned directly to the Cultivation World.

In the Cultivation World.

This period of time could be considered a rare, comfortable time for every sect.

Following the disappearance of the region where Dajinguang Temple was located.

The major sects and the cultivators in those Markets all discovered that the Spirit Qi had suddenly become much cleaner.

The Evil Spirits in various places, as well as the Avatars of evil gods, all quieted down at once, as if they had all fallen into hibernation together.

Many cultivators who had been stuck at bottlenecks for a long time were able to successfully break through during this short period.

Quite a few low-level cultivators were unaware of the specific situation.

They even developed the idea that the Cultivation World was going to get better from now on.

And they took action because of this.

In the vast regions, there was no lack of Foundation Establishment cultivators who began to host grand banquets, inviting friends they could still find to reminisce.

There were also small and medium-sized sects that quietly opened their mountain gates and issued Ascension Orders to the surrounding Markets where mortals still existed.

The major sects were also seizing this time to recuperate and build up their strength.

Waiting for the fierce battles that would follow.

The high-level members of these sects were also frequently in contact with one another.

Their top priority, in fact, was to defect to the Chiyuan Immortal Sect.

The Nanhuang Qundao was only their second choice.

It was not that they felt the mysterious heritage of the Nanhuang Qundao could not compare to an Immortal Sect.

After experiencing the Dajinguang Temple incident, even the most foolish high-level sect members could realize just how high the value of that mysterious Alliance Leader of the Nanhuang Qundao was!

It was just that, after gaining a deep understanding of the environment of the Nanhuang Qundao and the operating model within that Secret Realm.

If there were a better choice, they still did not want to head to the Nanhuang Qundao.

Of course, this was just them not going personally; the act of dispatching a branch or a few true disciples over there was something they had already done long ago.

…………

In the Central Region, at a location of an abandoned Spirit Mine.

Following a loud, earth-shaking boom that rang out.

A divine beast, the Xuangui Baxia, which resembled a great mountain, appeared on the ground.

The Xuangui Baxia shook its large head and opened its mouth to crush the mine entrance on the mountainside.

Then, with its large mouth constantly opening and closing, it ate the mineral vein that extended from the Spirit Mine into the ground.

In just a few minutes, it had gnawed a thousand-meter-deep pit out of the mountain range where this Spirit Mine was located.

And after a brief pause, it began to seek out and devour those deeper mineral veins that had clearly become sparse.

These Spirit Stone mineral veins did not, in fact, produce the standard low-grade Spirit Stones used by cultivators.

Those medium-grade and High-grade Spirit Stones were indeed naturally formed within the mineral veins.

However, during the development and excavation of every Spirit Mine, the medium-grade and High-grade Spirit Stones were the first batch to be discovered and taken away.

What remained were the spirit sand hidden within the ore of the mineral veins.

That fine, sand-like spirit sand was the main output of the mineral veins.

This spirit sand could be synthesized into individual low-grade Spirit Stones by cultivators above the Foundation Establishment realm through artifact refining methods.

And now, the new task for the Xuangui Baxia was to target those Spirit Mines confirmed to be ownerless.

Using the devouring characteristic of the Xuangui to ensure efficiency in acquisition.

Even if some mineral veins were wasted, they were wasted in the belly of the Xuangui.

No matter how you looked at it, it was a win-win!

As for the means to produce Spirit Stones, Su Ping, who had so many high-level cultivators defecting to him, naturally would not lack them.

The Xuangui Baxia spent about an hour in total before it ate the entire mineral vein clean.

Afterward, it rested for a little while.

Only then did the Xuangui Baxia move its body, transforming into a streak of red light and disappearing into the sky.

Leaving behind only an unsightly, deep pit that had been gnawed out.

Not long after.

The Xuangui Baxia appeared at another mine entrance and revealed its massive form.

This was a Second Tier Spirit Mine.

Unlike before.

Inside this mine entrance, there was actually a group of Demon Sect disciples hiding.

They were hiding deep within the mineral vein, and with various Secret Techniques, they had thought it was foolproof.

Yet they had not expected to encounter someone who played without martial ethics, actually dispatching their own divine beast to devour the mineral vein.

This was a mineral vein that could slowly produce spirit sand!

Even when the previous owners fled, they had not been willing to destroy it.

Yet now, it was being uprooted by the other side.

Why were there no Immortal Sects or major sects coming to stop such a shameless act!

"Run!"

The discovered Demon Sect disciples were none of them willing to cover the retreat, nor did any of them dare to strike.

Upon discovering the might of the Xuangui Baxia, they all fled in a panic.

The Xuangui Baxia gazed at these Demon Sect disciples who were outside of its plan.

After frowning, it let out an angry roar.

Under the assault of the sound waves.

Among the dozens of Demon Sect disciples, except for one who used a Secret Treasure to block it and managed to escape.

All the other Demon Sect disciples fell down while screaming.

Then, along with other soil and ore, they were swallowed in one gulp by Xuangui Baxia.

It was just that the much smarter Xuangui Baxia did not digest those Demon Sect disciples.

Instead, it used a mass of energy to wrap and protect them, preparing to seek credit from Su Ping after returning.

As for that escaping Demon Sect disciple, in his panic, he flew into a canyon.

After opening the Barrier in the canyon.

This Demon Sect disciple's expression changed slightly.

He discovered that the place was unexpectedly deserted.

"Damn it! Am I not also a True Disciple of the Holy Sect?"

"Why did no one notify me when they ran away?"

After cursing under his breath, this Demon Sect disciple took out a Talisman and lit it.

The incense smoke slowly permeated the sky.

Then the smoke transformed into the human shape of an old man.

This person looked at the Demon Sect disciple and, after asking a question.

Upon learning that he had been attacked by a divine beast as large as a mountain.

The old man's heart stirred, and he inquired about the details in detail.

Then he offered a few words of comfort and told the Demon Sect disciple to stay where he was and not move.

From the details provided by the Demon Sect disciple,

That Demon Sect old man had already guessed that it was the divine beast Xuangui that the Demon Venerable had warned about!

This was an ancient divine beast!

And it was an ancient divine beast that had not yet fully grown!

The Demon Sect old man became greedy.

He began to report it level by level to the Moshen Huashen.

After the Xieshen Diqizi experienced the war with the subordinates of the Tower Master.

Having suffered significant losses, it had also become much quieter in the Cultivation World.

It even voluntarily abandoned several Xieshen Avatars.

It focused all its efforts on cultivating the most powerful Moshen Huashen.

For the sake of caution.

The Xieshen Diqizi hoped to wait until the concentration of Evil Qi in the Cultivation World rose again before coordinating with its brothers to tear the Cultivation World apart and take revenge.

Upon learning of this matter, the Xieshen Diqizi's first thought was that this was a trap!

However, even though it felt there was something fishy, the temptation of an ancient divine beast still made this son of the Evil God use his means to investigate the other party.

Then, the son of the Evil God realized that the divine beast Xuangui was indeed acting alone.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, there was no sign of that difficult-to-deal-with Mysterious Ancestor.

At the same time, those monitoring the Nanhuang Qundao also reported back.

They confirmed that the Old Ancestor had appeared at the City Lord Mansion and was currently hosting guests from the Immortal City.

The expression of the Moshen Huashen flickered slightly.

It hesitated for a moment, then stretched out its hands.

A Huijuan appeared in its hands.

This was a projection of a treasure from the Xieshen Diqizi.

In the projected Huijuan, a god's-eye view of the area centered on the Xuangui appeared.

"Interesting!"

"Does that guy really think that the divine beast he raised... can resist us?"

"No, it's not just about resisting; it would only be meaningful if it could hold us off for a while until he arrives!"

"Hmm!"

"Is it some special method?"

"Heh, is this a chessboard inviting me into the game?"

After the Mozun Huashen smiled, it no longer hesitated.

With a whoosh, it stood up and disappeared into the Earth Palace.

No matter what actions the other party took.

The Xieshen Diqizi felt that its chances of winning were greater!

Even if it also used power from outside the world to cheat.

Could the other party be faster and more convenient than itself, who was watching from the sidelines?

As for power that surpassed its own.

Heh.

In the eyes of the Xieshen Diqizi, if the other party truly had such ability, they would have already snatched the food from the tiger's mouth; would they still be playing these games with it?

The Xieshen Diqizi had seen those truly high-level, great figures.

It understood what those great figures should look like.
