Chapter 470

Having ideas is good. First, boldly take action and try. When encountering difficulties, overcome them. Even if the expected goal is not achieved in the end, unexpected gains will surely be obtained during the process of overcoming difficulties.

Su Hao said indifferently, “I’ve uploaded the research during this period to the assistant. Regarding the stacking of spiritual power energy, if you have time, you can research how to make ‘high-concentration spiritual power stones’ and find a way to mass produce them. I plan to start designing ‘spiritual power technology products’ later, and we need high-energy spiritual power stones as product drivers.”

Yashan immediately became spirited, saying, “Understood, Boss Wei!”

Then, Yashan sent a document to Su Hao’s email, eagerly saying, “Boss Wei, since the amplification potion of spiritual power has been successful, it’s time to cultivate talents. This is the ‘Spiritual Power Technology Talent Cultivation—Spiritual Energy Academy Enrollment Plan’ I wrote in my spare time over the past few years. Could you please take a look?”

Su Hao nodded and casually opened it to take a look.

As he read, Su Hao asked, “Have the introductory reading materials and cases for spiritual power technology been prepared?”

Yashan immediately searched on the assistant for a while and sent several documents to Su Hao, introducing them one by one, “I plan to offer nine subjects, namely ‘The Beauty of Nature and Spiritual Power,’ ‘Machinery, Formations, and Productivity,’ ‘Social Cognition,’ ‘Cultivation History and Transformation,’ ‘Algebra and Geometry,’ ‘Material Chemistry,’ ‘Physical Exploration,’ ‘Cultivation Fundamentals,’ and ‘Techniques and Spiritual Power.’

The plan is to first change the students’ underlying cognition, and after they have a certain level of logical thinking, impart specific knowledge and applications to them. I’ve outlined these books for now, but haven’t had time to fill in the content. I expect they will be further improved in ten years.”

Su Hao smiled and said, “Indeed, it’s good. However, for these subjects, having a framework and a few cases is enough. You don’t need to do everything yourself. Just show them the direction, and the students will add the rest on their own. In no more than two hundred years, you will get what you want.”

At this point, Su Hao changed the subject, “What we need is ‘spiritual power technology’ with spiritual power as the core energy source. Everything should be guided in this direction. The knowledge reserve of electric power technology is not what we urgently need at the moment, so we can’t let the direction deviate.”

Yashan understood Su Hao’s meaning and confidently said, “Rest assured, Boss Wei, I will keep an eye on it at all times. If by any chance the whole civilization starts to develop towards electric power technology, I’ll make the civilization start over.”

Su Hao chuckled, “There’s no need to be so extreme. Just be vigilant in normal times. If things really go awry, there are other ways to continue our research.

Also, to cultivate the talents we need, we can’t let cultivation take up all their time. We need to save enough time for students to research. So, the faster the cultivation speed, the better. The cultivation techniques used before were too slow in conversion speed. I have also summarized a completely new cultivation technique over the past two years, called ‘Rapid Immortal Technique from Entry to Nascent Soul’. You can reorganize it as the general cultivation technique for the Cultivation Technology Institute.”

Yashan suddenly felt embarrassed, “Boss Wei, why is your research speed so fast with the same amount of time? I’ve just made a little progress on one project, and I’ve seen you upload almost ten results. Sometimes I can’t even keep up… Boss Wei, do you have any tips?”

Su Hao smiled, “The speed of exploration is naturally slow. If you can learn first and accumulate enough knowledge, streamline the train of thought, naturally, things will be done faster. But this kind of thing comes with practice. Take it slow, and it will get faster in the future.”

Not long after, Yashan left excitedly, saying he was going to take Feng Ling and others to overseas islands to jointly design the dreamlike academy building. As for what it would eventually turn out to be, Su Hao couldn’t be bothered.

Taking the time to check the situation with the Immortal Master, so far, there wasn’t much difference from what was expected, just that the progress was slower than anticipated. Su Hao couldn’t help but sigh, “Breaking through seems not to be that easy!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s develop some spiritual power communication devices during this time!”

Su Hao hasn’t delved deeply into how a society should transition and develop in terms of technology, nor has he ever thought of climbing the ladder of technology step by step. What he’s thinking is to forcibly connect the entire world first, allowing various knowledge and information to flow, and then see the situation to guide the innovation of spiritual power technology!

As for whether forcibly connecting the entire world will cause chaos, Su Hao isn’t too concerned about this.

Any new thing will impact the old market and cause those involved to lose their existing interests, leading to a certain degree of chaos. But Su Hao believes that with just a few years, this chaos will naturally settle down, forming a new balance.

……

Su Hao took out the Endless Stone he had collected before and entered the laboratory.

This Endless Lotus Platform, which Su Hao had bought with fifty spiritual stones at the Qianfeng Assembly.

It was said to be missing another part, which rendered the lotus platform functionless.

But for Su Hao, this didn’t matter much. He didn’t need the lotus platform to resonate under specific circumstances; instead, he needed to decipher the specific signal the spiritual power transformed into within the Endless Stone over long distances.

As long as Su Hao mastered this specific signal, the spiritual power communication device would become very simple.

Su Hao quickly entered a state of research. His research speed was very fast, thanks to the existence of the Bouncing Ball Space.

The Pinball Ball Space could record all the complete information of an object and then, with the help of Little Light, completely manifest it. It could also, under Su Hao’s command, freely enlarge, reduce, and select corresponding substances or fluctuations.

This brought great convenience to Su Hao’s research. The microscopic world that others couldn’t see, Su Hao could observe at will. The particles or fluctuations that others couldn’t detect, Little Light could autonomously restore and simulate, even considerately marking different particles with different colors.

If research was still slow under such convenient conditions, Su Hao would consider himself beyond redemption.

Take the effect after injecting spiritual power into the Endless Stone, for example. Su Hao analyzed and summarized it in just one month.

Then, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, he laughed incessantly, “After injecting spiritual power into the Endless Stone, it generates a special ‘spiritual power wave.’ Endless Stones with the same frequency as electromagnetic waves and spiritual power waves will have an attracting reaction when receiving spiritual power waves. Isn’t this a solution for communication devices?”

As the research progressed, Su Hao discovered that the Endless Stone wasn’t the key; it was a kind of high-quality substance inside the Endless Stone that played a crucial role in the conversion of spiritual power energy.

After half a year of experimentation, Su Hao mastered the synthesis method of this high-quality substance, which he named ‘Ya.’

And the discovery of ‘Ya’ marked the beginning of Su Hao’s design of communication devices!

After some thought, Su Hao decided to start with the simplest ‘transmitter,’ which was essentially a ‘telephone.’ Now it wasn’t called a telephone anymore; Su Hao casually came up with a name with a bit of fairy air, called ‘Wanliyin.’

The principle of ‘Wanliyin’ was very simple: by using the vibration of sound to shake the spiritual power in the ‘microphone’ and generate a special frequency of ‘spiritual power wave’ signal, it transmitted to the other end of ‘Wanliyin,’ causing the spiritual power on it to vibrate accordingly and produce sound!

With a wealth of knowledge reserves, Su Hao successfully made the first pair of ‘Wanliyin’ in just half a month.

“Let’s find someone to test it.” Su Hao took a pair of ‘Wanliyin’ and left.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he immediately spotted Feng Yan leaning on the fence, gazing into the distance. She was holding the hand of a cloth doll, swinging it back and forth in front of her.

Su Hao flew towards Feng Yan.

Feng Yan also noticed Su Hao. After Su Hao approached, she couldn’t help but lean in closer, looking at Su Hao’s face with a face full of infatuation, and couldn’t help but say, “Little brother! I couldn’t tell when you were young, but I didn’t expect you to become so handsome when you grew up! Sister, I underestimated you back then.”

Feng Yan still had the same appearance as before, with almost no resistance to handsome things.

Since coming to the Starry Port, she appeared a bit more cheerful than before because her senior brother, Feng Hua, didn’t run around anymore. They could occasionally meet, bringing her one step closer to successfully winning over Feng Hua.

Su Hao joked, “Sister, give up, even if I’m handsome, I’m not yours.”

Feng Yan chuckled, “Is that so?”

Then she tied the cloth doll around her waist and reached out to pinch Su Hao’s face.

Su Hao immediately stepped back, saying, “Sister, please stop!”

As long as Su Hao dodged, how could Feng Yan catch him? Until the end, Feng Yan still couldn’t pinch Su Hao’s handsome face as she wished.

Su Hao kindly reminded her, “Sister, if you want to pursue Senior Brother Feng Hua, you have to be more focused. Don’t get distracted by every handsome guy you see. How can you win over Senior Brother Feng Hua like this?”

Feng Yan arrogantly replied, “I don’t need your advice. With my unparalleled beauty, am I afraid of not being able to win over just one Feng Hua?”

Su Hao said, “It’s been so many years, and there’s been no progress. Is this how you’re pursuing him? Today, you help me with a test, and I’ll teach you how to win over Senior Brother Feng Hua.”

Feng Yan said, “I’m an expert in love affairs; I don’t need teaching.”

Su Hao added, “I have a special aphrodisiac for dealing with Golden Core cultivators.”

Feng Yan’s eyes lit up, “What test?”

    Chapter 470

    Having ideas was always a good thing.

    The important part was to act first.

    Encounter obstacles...

    Overcome them.

    Even if the original objective was never achieved...

    The process of overcoming those difficulties would almost certainly produce unexpected discoveries.


    ---

    Su Hao said calmly,

    "I've already uploaded my latest research to the Universal Assistant."

    "When you have time..."

    "Continue researching methods for manufacturing high-concentration Spirit Stones."

    "We'll also need a way to mass-produce them."

    "In the future..."

    "I intend to begin designing Spiritual Power technology."

    "Those Spirit Stones will become the primary power source for our devices."

    Yashan's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Understood, Boss Wei!"


    ---

    He quickly sent another document to Su Hao.

    With obvious anticipation, he said,

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Now that the Spiritual Power Enhancement Drug has succeeded..."

    "It's finally time to begin cultivating talent."

    "This is the Spiritual Energy Academy Enrollment Plan I've been writing over the past few years."

    "Please take a look."

    Su Hao nodded before casually opening the document.


    ---

    While reading...

    He asked,

    "Have the introductory textbooks and case studies already been prepared?"

    Yashan immediately searched through the Universal Assistant before sending several more documents.

    "I currently plan to establish nine core subjects."

    The Beauty of Nature and Spiritual Power

    Machinery, Formations, and Productivity

    Social Cognition

    History and Evolution of Cultivation

    Algebra and Geometry

    Material Chemistry

    Fundamentals of Physics

    Foundations of Cultivation

    Techniques and Spiritual Power


    "My plan is to first reshape the students' fundamental worldview."

    "Once they've developed proper logical thinking..."

    "I'll begin teaching the practical applications."

    "The frameworks are finished."

    "The actual teaching materials haven't been completed yet."

    "I estimate another ten years before they're properly refined."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled approvingly.

    "The framework is already enough."

    "You don't need to write every single textbook yourself."

    "Provide the direction."

    "Include a few representative examples."

    "The students themselves will fill in everything else."

    "In less than two hundred years..."

    "You'll obtain exactly the kind of people you're hoping for."


    ---

    Then Su Hao's expression became more serious.

    "But remember..."

    "What we want..."

    "Is Spiritual Power technology."

    "Spiritual Power must remain the world's primary energy source."

    "Everything should develop around that."

    "Electrical technology isn't our priority."

    "We cannot allow civilization to drift in the wrong direction."

    Yashan nodded confidently.

    "Don't worry, Boss Wei."

    "I'll monitor the overall direction."

    "If civilization ever starts moving toward electrical technology..."

    "I'll simply make civilization start over."


    ---

    Su Hao couldn't help laughing.

    "There's no need to go that far."

    "Just stay attentive."

    "If things truly deviate..."

    "There are still other methods."


    ---

    He continued,

    "If we're going to cultivate researchers..."

    "We can't let cultivation consume all of their time."

    "They must have enough time left for scientific research."

    "So..."

    "The faster cultivation becomes..."

    "The better."

    "The cultivation methods currently used throughout the world are far too inefficient."

    "I've also completed a brand-new cultivation manual over the past two years."

    "It's called..."

    Rapid Immortal Technique: From Entry to Nascent Soul.

    "You can reorganize it into the academy's standard cultivation method."


    ---

    Yashan suddenly looked embarrassed.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "We both have the same amount of time."

    "So why is your research speed so terrifying?"

    "I've barely completed one project..."

    "And you've already uploaded almost ten."

    "Sometimes..."

    "I can't even keep up."

    "Boss Wei..."

    "Do you have any secret techniques?"


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Research itself is always slow."

    "But once you've accumulated enough knowledge..."

    "And organized your thinking..."

    "Everything naturally becomes much faster."

    "It simply comes with experience."

    "Take your time."

    "You'll improve."


    ---

    Not long afterward...

    Yashan hurried away excitedly.

    He planned to bring Feng Ling and the others to one of the nearby islands.

    Together...

    They would design the academy's buildings.

    As for what kind of spectacular architecture they eventually created...

    Su Hao wasn't particularly interested.


    ---

    He then checked on the Immortal Master.

    Everything was proceeding according to plan.

    Only...

    More slowly than originally expected.

    Su Hao sighed softly.

    "So..."

    "Breaking through really isn't easy."


    ---

    Since there was still time...

    He decided to begin another project.

    "Then..."

    "I'll develop Spiritual Power communication devices."


    ---

    Su Hao had never been particularly interested in gradually climbing humanity's technological ladder.

    Instead...

    He preferred skipping directly to the end.

    First...

    Connect the entire world.

    Allow knowledge and information to circulate freely.

    Only then...

    Guide the direction of Spiritual Power technology.

    As for whether such rapid change would plunge society into chaos...

    He wasn't particularly worried.

    Every revolutionary technology disrupted existing interests.

    Chaos was inevitable.

    But...

    After several years...

    Society would naturally establish a new equilibrium.


    ---

    Su Hao returned to his laboratory.

    Taking out the mysterious Endless Stone he had purchased years ago...

    He gently placed it on the table.

    It had originally belonged to the Endless Lotus Platform.

    Back then...

    He had purchased the incomplete treasure for only fifty Spirit Stones during the Thousand Peaks Gathering.

    According to the seller...

    The missing half rendered it completely useless.

    For Su Hao...

    That hardly mattered.

    He wasn't interested in restoring the lotus platform itself.

    What interested him...

    Was the strange signal produced when Spiritual Power traveled through the Endless Stone.

    If he could decipher that signal...

    Constructing long-distance communication devices would become remarkably simple.


    ---

    He immediately immersed himself in research.

    Thanks to Marble Space...

    His research speed remained astonishing.

    Every object's complete structure could be perfectly recorded.

    Little Light could reconstruct every microscopic detail...

    Magnify it...

    Separate individual particles...

    Highlight different fluctuations...

    Even assign different colors for easy observation.

    Compared with ordinary researchers...

    His advantage bordered on cheating.


    ---

    One month later...

    Su Hao finally completed his analysis.

    His smile gradually widened.

    "So that's how it works..."

    "After Spiritual Power enters the Endless Stone..."

    "It produces a special Spiritual Power wave."

    "Any Endless Stone sharing the same resonance frequency..."

    "Automatically responds."

    "..."

    "Isn't this exactly the principle behind communication?"


    ---

    As research continued...

    He discovered something even more valuable.

    The Endless Stone itself wasn't the important part.

    Its core contained an extremely rare material responsible for converting Spiritual Power into communication waves.

    After another six months...

    Su Hao finally synthesized that material himself.

    He named it—

    Ya.

    The successful creation of Ya officially marked the beginning of Spiritual Power communication technology.


    ---

    After some consideration...

    Su Hao decided to begin with the simplest possible device.

    A transmitter.

    Essentially...

    A telephone.

    Of course...

    Calling it a "telephone" sounded rather out of place in this cultivation world.

    After thinking briefly...

    He casually gave it a more fitting name.

    Wanliyin.

    Voice Across Ten Thousand Miles.


    ---

    Its operating principle was remarkably straightforward.

    Sound vibrations entered the receiver.

    Those vibrations disturbed Spiritual Power inside the Ya core.

    The Spiritual Power transformed into uniquely patterned Spiritual Power waves.

    Those waves traveled to another Wanliyin.

    There...

    They caused the receiving Spiritual Power to vibrate identically.

    The original sound was reproduced.


    ---

    With his existing knowledge...

    Building the prototype required only half a month.

    Holding the completed pair...

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Time to find someone for testing."


    ---

    His Spiritual Sense expanded.

    Almost immediately...

    He located Feng Yan.

    She was leaning lazily against a railing...

    Staring toward the distant sea.

    In one hand...

    She absentmindedly swung a small cloth doll.

    Su Hao flew over.


    ---

    Seeing him approach...

    Feng Yan's eyes immediately brightened.

    She stepped closer...

    Carefully studying his face.

    Unable to help herself...

    She sighed dramatically.

    "Little Junior Brother..."

    "When you were younger..."

    "I couldn't tell."

    "But now that you've grown up..."

    "You're actually ridiculously handsome."

    "I completely underestimated you."


    ---

    Just as before...

    Feng Yan possessed almost no resistance against attractive people.

    Life at Starry Bay had also noticeably improved her mood.

    Since Feng Hua no longer wandered everywhere...

    She could see him regularly.

    In her opinion...

    She had finally moved one step closer to winning his heart.


    ---

    Su Hao laughed.

    "Senior Sister..."

    "You should give up."

    "No matter how handsome I am..."

    "I'm still not yours."

    Feng Yan smiled mischievously.

    "Really?"

    She immediately reached out...

    Trying to pinch his face.


    ---

    Su Hao quickly retreated.

    "Senior Sister."

    "Please stop."

    Naturally...

    There was no chance she could catch him.

    After several failed attempts...

    She reluctantly gave up.


    ---

    Su Hao kindly advised,

    "If you're serious about pursuing Senior Brother Feng Hua..."

    "You should stay focused."

    "You can't get distracted every time you meet a handsome man."

    "How are you supposed to win him over like that?"


    ---

    Feng Yan snorted proudly.

    "I don't need your advice."

    "With beauty like mine..."

    "Do you think I can't win over one Feng Hua?"


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "It's been so many years."

    "And you've made absolutely no progress."

    "How about this."

    "Help me test something today..."

    "And I'll teach you how to pursue Senior Brother Feng Hua."


    ---

    Feng Yan folded her arms.

    "I'm already an expert when it comes to romance."

    "I don't need lessons."


    ---

    Su Hao added casually,

    "I also happen to possess a special aphrodisiac..."

    "Designed specifically for Golden Core cultivators."

    Feng Yan's eyes instantly sparkled.

    "What kind of test?"

    Wanliyin

    Yeetuscurreetus translations is here again~
    Wanliyin is three characters: 万,里,and 音.
    万 just means "ten thousand".
    里 is short for 公里, which means "kilometer".
    音 is short for 声音, which means "sound".
    Put it all together: "Ten Thousand Kilometer Sound" - basically, he's making a damn telephone.

      Well might be the usually Chinese measurements (and there’s no habit to shorten kilometer) so rather 10 thousand mile sound is more appropriate.
