    Chapter 476

    Beforehand, Su Hao had already installed a Spirit Stone inside the machine.

    The moment Feng Xianglong pressed the button, the loom immediately came to life.

    A series of gears and flywheels began rotating smoothly, filling the room with a steady mechanical hum.

    Everyone present stared in astonishment.

    The bundles of cotton thread were gradually drawn into the machine.

    Several spinning wheels rotated at incredible speed, neatly arranging the threads before feeding them into the weaving mechanism.

    Su Hao pointed toward another button.

    "Third Uncle."

    "Press the yellow button."

    Feng Xianglong did as instructed.

    Immediately, another flywheel began spinning.

    A square weaving frame rapidly moved up and down while several shuttles flashed back and forth so quickly that only blurred afterimages remained.

    Before everyone's eyes...

    Cloth slowly began taking shape.

    With every pass of the shuttle, it became wider and longer.

    Only a few moments later...

    A full meter of finished cloth had already been rolled neatly onto the collecting shaft.

    The remaining thread inside had also been completely consumed.

    Su Hao pressed the red button.

    The machine gradually slowed before coming to a complete stop.

    He removed the finished roll of cloth, unfolded it, and handed it to Feng Xianglong.

    "Third Uncle."

    "What do you think?"

    Feng Xianglong accepted the cloth almost absentmindedly.

    His mouth slowly fell open.

    The servants standing outside the hall were equally stunned.

    Was this...

    actually weaving?

    Or was it some kind of immortal magic?

    A piece of cloth like this normally required at least ten to twenty days of continuous work by an experienced weaver.

    Yet this strange machine...

    Finished it in mere moments.

    Feng Xianglong gently rubbed the cloth between his fingers.

    Its texture was excellent.

    Comparable to the finest fabrics currently available on the market.

    But the quality wasn't the most terrifying part.

    The terrifying part was the speed.

    And the fact that only one person had been needed to operate it.

    At that instant, Feng Xianglong understood the true value of this machine.

    Su Hao smiled.

    "What do you think?"

    "If necessary..."

    "We can build as many of these looms as we want."

    Feng Xianglong remained silent for a long moment before speaking seriously.

    "The Feng Family alone cannot shoulder something of this scale."

    "We'll need to cooperate with the Mo, Lei, Zhuang, Yun, Hua, and Zhang families."

    "Our four allied families—the Feng, Yun, Hua, and Zhang clans—have always advanced and retreated together."

    "We can't leave them out."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "You can arrange everything however you think is best."

    Feng Xianglong continued,

    "Once this loom appears, its effects won't remain hidden for long."

    "Within five years..."

    "The cultivation world will inevitably notice."

    "Although cultivators rarely interfere with mortal affairs..."

    "They still maintain many connections."

    "If this threatens someone's interests, cultivators will certainly appear."

    "As for ordinary worldly forces..."

    "My title as the 'Number One Expert Under Heaven' is enough to deal with them."

    "But cultivators..."

    "I have no way to resist them."

    Su Hao smiled calmly.

    "Third Uncle."

    "You don't need to worry."

    "There isn't anyone in today's cultivation world who can defeat me."

    "If someone comes looking for trouble..."

    "I'll simply beat them."

    Feng Xianglong froze.

    Who could possibly believe such outrageous words?

    He shook his head.

    "Feng Tang."

    "Never become arrogant."

    "There are always hidden experts in this world."

    "Who truly dares claim invincibility?"

    Su Hao laughed.

    "But aren't you already called the Number One Expert Under Heaven?"

    Feng Xianglong laughed as well.

    "Titles given by others don't count."

    Su Hao shrugged.

    "I'm serious."

    "I've already killed countless peak experts of the cultivation world."

    "But that isn't important."

    "Trust me."

    "I would never gamble with the Feng Family's safety."

    "I'll handle everything."

    Seeing Su Hao's unusually serious expression...

    Feng Xianglong finally nodded.

    "Very well."

    "The lives of the Feng Family..."

    "I'll entrust them to you."

    Su Hao produced another Positioning Stone.

    "The previous one is almost exhausted."

    "Carry this one with you at all times."

    "If you're ever in danger..."

    "Activate it immediately."

    Feng Xianglong accepted it carefully.

    "I'll gather the heads of the other three families."

    Just as he was about to leave...

    Su Hao suddenly called after him.

    "Third Uncle."

    "Do you still wish to cultivate?"

    Feng Xianglong's body trembled violently.

    He turned around.

    "...Is it still possible?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Of course."

    "It's not too late."

    "You should still be able to extend your lifespan by several hundred years."

    For perhaps the first time in his life...

    Feng Xianglong completely lost his composure.

    Excitement flooded his face.

    This was the most emotional Su Hao had ever seen him.

    ...

    With everything settled for the moment...

    Su Hao returned to Starry Bay.

    The Spirit-Powered Loom was merely the beginning.

    Many more inventions would gradually be delivered to Feng Xianglong.

    Using them, the mortal world would slowly enter the age of Spirit Technology Industry, causing productivity to grow explosively.

    The loom itself wasn't the important part.

    What truly mattered...

    Was teaching Feng Xianglong how to manufacture it.

    Only through mass production could real change begin.

    Su Hao quietly analyzed the future.

    "As weaving efficiency increases..."

    "The demand for cotton will rapidly exceed supply."

    "Cotton prices will soar."

    "Farmers will abandon grain cultivation in favor of cotton."

    "A few years later..."

    "Food shortages will inevitably appear."

    "Grain prices will skyrocket."

    "The poorest people may even starve."

    He immediately continued extending the plan.

    "Therefore..."

    "The next priority is high-yield crops."

    "Food production must increase while reducing farmland requirements."

    "Agricultural machinery must also be introduced."

    Step by step...

    He anticipated future problems before they appeared.

    Then...

    He solved them in advance with technology.

    All of it was recorded into a long-term blueprint for transforming civilization.

    "There is still one crucial issue..."

    "Energy."

    "Only after Spiritual Power becomes an inexhaustible energy source can Spirit Technology truly flourish."

    He already had preliminary ideas.

    Hydropower.

    Thermal power.

    Potential energy.

    Wind power.

    All converted into Spiritual Power.

    "The first project..."

    "A Hydro-Spiritual Power Station."

    "It will be built near Moliang City."

    He even considered something far more ambitious.

    "Eventually..."

    "Power stations can transmit electricity into every household."

    "Every home can then convert electricity into usable Spiritual Power."

    Although electrical technology remained useful...

    Su Hao never intended electricity to become the civilization's foundation.

    Spiritual Power possessed flexibility electricity could never match.

    A tiny Spirit Stone could power machinery continuously for an entire day.

    No battery could compete.

    ...

    Three days later...

    Su Hao teleported back to Feng Xianglong.

    The sudden appearance nearly caused him to draw his sword once again.

    After calming himself, he asked,

    "Feng Tang..."

    "How did you suddenly appear?"

    "Is that another immortal technique?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "You can think of it that way."

    "Or..."

    "As shrinking thousands of miles into a single step."

    Feng Xianglong drew a sharp breath.

    Cultivators...

    Were truly terrifying.

    Su Hao asked,

    "How did the discussion go?"

    Feng Xianglong answered without hesitation.

    "We're doing it."

    Su Hao nodded with satisfaction.

    "Good."

    He handed over two thick volumes.

    "These are the manufacturing blueprints for the Spirit-Powered Loom."

    "The design isn't complicated."

    "Gather skilled craftsmen."

    "Study the machine thoroughly."

    "Reproduce it."

    "Then establish mass production."

    "Recruit workers."

    "Begin manufacturing and selling them."

    After carefully explaining every detail...

    Su Hao recorded Feng Xianglong's latest body data before returning once more to Starry Bay.

    ...

    Two days later...

    He returned again.

    This time...

    He injected Feng Xianglong with a gene modification serum.

    It contained three abilities:

    Cultivation Talent.

    Teleportation Balancer.

    Prophet.

    The reason for adding Prophet was simple.

    Su Hao intended Feng Xianglong to become the primary coordinator for all mundane affairs.

    Such a role required exceptional intelligence.

    ...

    A month later...

    Su Hao returned once more.

    "How's production progressing?"

    Feng Xianglong replied,

    "We've successfully built another loom."

    "But production remains slow."

    "Each machine still takes about three days."

    Su Hao immediately handed him another blueprint.

    "This is the assembly-line production process."

    "Have the craftsmen reorganize their work according to these diagrams."

    "It should significantly increase manufacturing speed."

    Feng Xianglong accepted the plans without surprise.

    At this point...

    Nothing Su Hao produced could truly shock him anymore.

    "As expected."

    "I'll have them begin immediately."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Also..."

    "The Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy is about to officially open."

    "You'll attend as an observer."

    "And begin learning cultivation alongside the new students."

    This time...

    Feng Xianglong remained remarkably calm.

    He was nearly fifty years old.

    He had finally learned to maintain his composure.

    After taking a deep breath, he asked,

    "Where is this academy?"

    Su Hao smiled.

    "On Lingsha Continent."

    "Finish arranging everything here."

    "I'll come for you tomorrow."

    Feng Xianglong slowly steadied his breathing before finally replying,

    "...Alright."
