    Chapter 475

    Su Hao was in no hurry to begin collecting consciousness samples.

    Researching consciousness would be an extremely long-term project. Since the Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy founded by Yashan was about to officially open, he decided to wait until the academy was operating smoothly before leaving to gather experimental subjects.

    During this period, he planned to continue improving various Spirit Technology devices before conducting practical field trials to evaluate their usefulness.

    As for where those trials would take place...

    He had already chosen the perfect location.

    ...

    Half a month later, Feng Ling, Feng Yue'er, and Yun Qingping all successfully advanced into the Golden Core Realm.

    With the help of the Activator, Feng Hua and Feng Yan also successfully awakened Spiritual Sense, placing them only one step away from entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

    The ease of these breakthroughs left everyone feeling as though they were dreaming.

    Cultivation...

    Had never seemed so simple.

    They barely had to do anything.

    Simply standing beneath the Activator's light allowed them to complete most of the breakthrough process.

    Feng Ling muttered in disbelief,

    "Will there be a day when someone can simply shine a light on an ordinary person and directly promote them to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

    Everyone laughed.

    That sounded far too absurd.

    ...

    With everyone's strength greatly increased, Yashan organized their first official journey.

    They boarded a massive flying vessel and departed Starry Bay, heading toward the Thirty-Nine Mortal Domains.

    The vessel was called...

    Starry Sky One.

    Its overall design had come from Su Hao.

    Yashan and Feng Yan had overseen its construction.

    Unlike the traditional flying boats of the cultivation world, Starry Sky One no longer resembled a wooden ship.

    Instead, its sleek, streamlined body looked closer to a spacecraft than a boat.

    Its elegant curves carried an unmistakable technological beauty completely foreign to this world.

    ...

    Inside the spacious cabin...

    Feng Hua piloted the vessel while everyone else enjoyed refreshments.

    Looking around, Feng Ling sighed in admiration.

    "So flying boats can actually be built like this..."

    "It's incredible."

    Feng Yan smiled proudly.

    "It's practically a mobile immortal residence."

    "I still have all the blueprints."

    "When we get back, I'll borrow some materials from Feng Wei and build a smaller one for myself."

    Feng Ling's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Senior Sister!"

    "Build one for me too!"

    Feng Yan waved her hand confidently.

    "No problem."

    "As long as you can provide the materials."

    Feng Ling immediately turned toward Yashan and Feng Cheng.

    "Only you two are allowed into Feng Wei's warehouse."

    "Help me sneak out some materials."

    "If either of you ever needs my help later, I'll definitely return the favor."

    Feng Cheng looked thoroughly embarrassed.

    Could he casually take things from Feng Wei's warehouse?

    What if Feng Wei blamed him afterward?

    Unable to answer, he instinctively looked toward Yashan.

    Normally...

    Anything taken from the warehouse required Yashan's approval.

    Yashan immediately shook his head.

    "Absolutely not."

    "Public projects are one thing."

    "Private use is another."

    "These materials belong to public research."

    "I won't approve it."

    He then added,

    "If you can obtain the materials yourselves, I have no objections."

    Both Feng Ling and Feng Yan instantly deflated.

    Of course...

    If they personally asked Su Hao, he would probably agree without hesitation.

    The problem was...

    Neither of them dared disturb him over such trivial matters.

    Unless someone's life was at stake...

    They never interrupted his research.

    Seeing their disappointed expressions, Yashan smiled.

    "Actually..."

    "There is another solution."

    "You'll all receive salaries as academy instructors."

    "When you've saved enough money..."

    "You can simply purchase the materials."

    "I'll send both of you the official price list later."

    Feng Yan's eyes brightened.

    "That's right!"

    "Why didn't I think of that?"

    "When I start teaching, my students can help me earn money."

    Feng Cheng immediately raised his hand enthusiastically.

    "Master!"

    "I'll work hard and earn plenty of money."

    "I'll definitely buy you a flying boat."

    Yashan quietly smiled.

    "Demand has appeared..."

    "Now the market can begin operating."

    Feng Yan laughed happily.

    "Exactly."

    "I'll recruit lots of disciples too."

    Only Feng Ling looked utterly depressed.

    She had no disciples at all.

    By the time Feng Cheng earned enough money...

    Who knew how many years would have passed?

    She immediately looked toward Yashan.

    "Vice President Yue Ying!"

    "Let's recruit more students!"

    "I can teach too!"

    Yashan merely sighed.

    Despite explaining the academy's structure countless times...

    No one truly understood how it was supposed to function.

    Rather than explaining again, he simply pointed toward Feng Yue'er.

    "If we want lots of students..."

    "We'll have to rely on Yue'er's charm."

    Feng Yue'er blinked.

    "Huh?"

    Yashan smiled mischievously.

    Young men attracted by beauty...

    Would naturally come to enroll.

    Once they entered the academy...

    Everything afterward would proceed according to his plans.

    Thinking of that future...

    He couldn't help smiling.

    ...

    While Yashan and the others traveled across the continent recruiting students...

    Su Hao remained inside Starry Bay.

    His latest invention had finally been completed.

    The Fully Automatic Spirit-Powered Loom.

    Looking at the finished machine before him, he nodded with satisfaction.

    "Let's begin with textiles..."

    "And agriculture."

    "Capital..."

    "Will change this world."

    ...

    He searched through the Marble Space and located the Positioning Stone he had left with his Third Uncle, Feng Xianglong, more than ten years earlier.

    Using it as an anchor...

    He instantly teleported away.

    ...

    When he opened his eyes again...

    He found himself inside an underground storeroom.

    Sweeping out with Spiritual Sense, he immediately located Feng Xianglong.

    Another flash.

    He appeared directly before him.

    Feng Xianglong was startled.

    Instinctively believing he was under attack, he immediately threw the teacup in his hand while simultaneously drawing the soft sword hanging from his waist.

    Both flew toward Su Hao.

    Su Hao merely extended one finger.

    The teacup froze in midair.

    The soft sword also stopped as though it had struck an invisible wall.

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Third Uncle."

    "It's been a long time."

    "Your skills have improved considerably."

    Feng Xianglong carefully examined the handsome young man before him.

    The familiar feeling gradually returned.

    After hesitating for a moment, he asked,

    "...Feng Tang?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "It's me."

    ...

    After both sat down...

    Feng Xianglong sighed.

    "Among all those who left to pursue immortality..."

    "You're the only one who occasionally comes home."

    "The others never returned."

    "Since your four brothers left..."

    "There hasn't been any news."

    "I wonder how they're doing."

    He smiled again.

    "Fortunately..."

    "The cultivation method you left behind all those years ago has allowed the Feng Family to prosper."

    When Su Hao had previously returned, he left behind a cultivation technique for testing spiritual aptitude.

    Those lacking aptitude were forbidden from wasting their lives seeking immortality.

    As a result...

    The Feng Family had grown considerably stronger over the past decade.

    Su Hao casually asked,

    "Has Grandmother passed away?"

    Feng Xianglong nodded.

    "Three years ago."

    Birth.

    Aging.

    Illness.

    Death.

    Such things had long become ordinary to Su Hao.

    ...

    After chatting for a while...

    Su Hao finally asked,

    "Third Uncle."

    "What are the Feng Family's primary businesses now?"

    Feng Xianglong looked slightly surprised.

    He had not expected Su Hao to ask about commerce.

    Still, there was nothing to hide.

    "Our largest income comes from farmland."

    "We also operate several dye workshops."

    "During harvest seasons we purchase grain from surrounding villages and transport it to the major cities."

    "We also own five shops inside Moyue City."

    After briefly explaining, he smiled.

    "Why?"

    "Don't tell me you've finally grown tired of cultivating immortality and want to become a merchant."

    Su Hao laughed.

    "I've never truly left the mortal world."

    "I simply have a few inventions."

    "I'd like your help introducing them."

    Feng Xianglong burst into laughter.

    "Mortals asking immortals for help is common."

    "But an immortal asking a mortal..."

    "That's certainly a first."

    ...

    Su Hao waved his hand.

    A strange machine suddenly appeared in the middle of the room.

    It was the fully automatic loom.

    "This is called a Spirit-Powered Loom."

    "It can weave thread into cloth at astonishing speed."

    "And it only requires a single operator."

    He looked toward Feng Xianglong.

    "Do you have cotton thread?"

    "Of course."

    "I'll have someone bring some."

    "Bring plenty."

    ...

    Moments later...

    Servants carried in several large spools of cotton thread.

    Su Hao picked one up and examined it carefully before nodding with satisfaction.

    "The quality is excellent."

    Feng Xianglong smiled proudly.

    "The cotton from Moyue City is famous throughout Huayang North Prefecture."

    "Naturally it's excellent."

    "Can your machine use it?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Perfectly."

    He calmly installed several spools into the machine.

    Thread passed through one mechanism after another until everything was connected.

    Finally...

    He pointed toward a green button.

    "Third Uncle."

    "Please press this."

    Feng Xianglong stepped forward with curiosity.

    He gently pressed the button.

    Click.
