Chapter 475

Su Hao was not in a hurry about collecting consciousness samples.

The research experiment on consciousness would be an extremely long process. With the upcoming opening of the “Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy” established by Yashan, he could wait until the academy officially got on track before going out to collect.

During this period of free time, he could improve some spiritual power machinery and then find a place for a pilot test to assess the machinery’s effectiveness.

As for where to conduct the pilot test, Su Hao had already figured it out.

Half a month later, Feng Ling, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping all broke through to the Golden Core Realm. Feng Hua and Feng Yan also successfully cultivated “Spiritual Thoughts” with the help of the “Activator,” not far from completely breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm.

The smooth breakthrough made everyone feel like they were in a dream. They had never thought that cultivation could be so simple, without needing to do much. Just a bit of exposure to light, and they were almost done with cultivation…

They even wondered if in the future there would be a kind of light that could directly promote ordinary people to the Nascent Soul Realm.

That’s absurd!

With a significant leap in strength, under the organization of Yashan, they flew out of the Starry Bay in a super high-profile flying boat and headed towards the thirty-nine mortal realms.

This flying boat had been built two years ago, called “Starry Sky One.” Su Hao provided the design, while Yashan and Feng Yan were among those responsible for its production.

It didn’t deviate from the category of ordinary flying boats, but its design was completely different from the popular styles in the cultivation world. It was no longer shaped like a traditional boat, but rather like a streamlined spaceship, full of a sense of technology and mechanical beauty that pierced the soul.

On the flying boat, Feng Hua was responsible for driving while everyone else enjoyed exquisite refreshments in the cabin.

Feng Ling exclaimed with admiration, “The flying boat can be made like this, it’s really amazing.”

Feng Yan also chuckled, “This is like a mobile cave! The design plans are in my hands. I’ll borrow some materials from Feng Wei when we return and build a smaller one for myself.”

Feng Ling immediately said, “Senior, make one for me too!”

Feng Yan waved her hand casually, “It’s nothing, as long as you can get the materials.”

Feng Ling turned to Feng Cheng and Yashan, “Yue Ying and Feng Cheng, only you two can freely enter Feng Wei’s warehouse. Why don’t you help me get some materials? If you need anything later, just let me know.”

Faced with such a rude request from the master, Feng Cheng was very embarrassed. Could he just casually touch Feng Wei’s things? What if Feng Wei blamed him?

Feng Cheng looked to Yashan for help. Usually, whenever he needed something, he would only get it after Yashan agreed.

Yashan immediately shook his head and refused, “Public use is fine, but private use is not allowed. It’s obvious that both Feng Ling Senior and Feng Yan Senior are for private use. You don’t even need to ask Feng Wei Boss, I disagree. Of course, if you can find a way to get the materials yourself, then consider I never said anything.”

Feng Yan and Feng Ling’s faces fell.

They knew that if they went to ask Su Hao in person, Su Hao would probably agree directly. But the key was they didn’t dare to ask!

Because no matter what Su Hao was doing, he didn’t like to be disturbed. Unless it was a matter of life-threatening urgency, they wouldn’t dare to bother him over trivial matters.

Yashan interjected, “But there is a solution. You both receive salaries for teaching every year, so you can use that money to buy! I’ll give you a price list later, and you can compare it yourselves.”

It’s not that Yashan is stingy. Although there are still plenty of materials in the warehouse for now, they are not being replenished, so Yashan hopes these materials can be used in more useful ways.

At this moment, Feng Cheng was excited and said, “Master, don’t worry! I’ll work hard to earn money and share some with you later. I also want a flying boat!”

Yashan chuckled inwardly, “Here comes the demand, huh? As the number of products increases and demand grows, the market will thrive.”

Feng Yan’s eyes lit up, “Right! Why didn’t I think of that? In the future, I’ll have disciples to help me make money!”

Feng Ling, the registrar, was dumbfounded. She doesn’t have any students! With Feng Cheng’s disciple’s commission, when will they ever gather enough money for a flying boat?

Feng Ling turned to Yashan and said involuntarily, “Yue Ying, let’s recruit more disciples! I can take on a few too!”

It seems that after many explanations, everyone still doesn’t understand the teaching model of the academy! But Yashan was too lazy to continue explaining. He just gestured towards the enchanting Feng Yuer and said, “If you want to recruit more people, it depends on Feng Yuer’s charm!”

Yes, Yashan wanted to use Feng Yuer’s charm to confuse more young men enchanted by hormones. After they enroll, what to do next is up to him, right?

Thinking of this, Yashan couldn’t help but smile.

While Yashan and the others were recruiting students all over the place, Su Hao had already finished debugging the fully automatic spiritual power weaving machine!

Su Hao looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and murmured, “Well, let’s start with cloth weaving and agricultural production! Use capital to change this world.”

Su Hao retrieved the spiritual imprint of the positioning stone he gave to his third uncle, Feng Xianglong, more than ten years ago, and then leveraged the space, teleporting away.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an underground basement. With a sweep of his divine sense, he locked onto Feng Xianglong’s location and flashed over.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Feng Xianglong. He was startled, and without much reaction, he subconsciously thought that someone was coming to attack him, the “number one expert in the world,” and instinctively swung his hand, sending the teacup with the still-warm tea flying.

At the same time, he sprang up, and a silver light flashed at his waist, chasing after Su Hao behind the teacup.

Su Hao gently extended a finger, stopping the teacup, and Feng Xianglong’s soft sword dimmed.

Su Hao smiled, “Third Uncle, long time no see. Your skill has improved a lot!”

Feng Xianglong looked closely and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, smiling at him. A familiar feeling rushed over him, and he wasn’t sure, “Feng Tang?”

Su Hao nodded, “It’s me!”

They both took their seats, and Feng Xianglong sighed, “In the pursuit of immortality, you’re the only one who can still come back to visit occasionally, Feng Tang. None of my family members have ever returned after leaving! Ever since your four brothers left, there has been no news of them. I wonder how they are doing now. Fortunately, thanks to the cultivation method you passed down more than ten years ago, the Feng family has prospered much more than before.”

Initially, when Su Hao passed down a set of cultivation methods for testing immortal aptitude, Feng family members without aptitude were not allowed to go out to seek the path of immortality. Over the past decade, this rule has led to an increase in male members.

Su Hao casually asked, “Has grandmother ascended to immortality?”

Feng Xianglong nodded, “Three years ago.”

Life, aging, sickness, and death are just common occurrences in life!

After chatting for a while and understanding each other’s lives, Su Hao turned to ask, “Third Uncle, what are the main sources of income for the Feng family now?”

Feng Xianglong was surprised that Su Hao asked about the Feng family’s business, but he had nothing to hide and said, “The main income comes from the grains produced on the farm, along with some dyeing business. During the harvest season, we also collect items from the villagers and transport them to major markets for sale. In Moyue City, our family also owns five shops…”

After briefly mentioning the Feng family’s sources of income, Feng Xianglong asked, “Why is Feng Tang asking about this? Don’t tell me you don’t want to continue cultivating immortality and want to return to the mortal world?”

Su Hao smiled, “I have always been in the mortal world, so there’s no talk of returning. I have some gadgets and want to do something with them, but I might need Uncle’s help.”

Feng Xianglong raised his eyebrows and grinned, “Let’s hear it. I’ve heard of mortals seeking help from immortals, but I’ve never heard of immortals looking for mortals.”

Su Hao waved his hand, and a strange-looking object appeared in the center of the hall. Its structure didn’t seem complicated—it was the weaving machine made by Su Hao.

Su Hao said, “This is called a weaving machine. It can weave silk into fabric at an extremely fast speed, and only one person is needed to operate it.”

Seeing Feng Xianglong’s confusion, Su Hao asked, “Do you have any cotton thread at home?”

Feng Xianglong replied, “Yes, I’ll have someone fetch some.”

Su Hao said, “Get more.”

After a while, several servants brought in bundles of large cotton thread coils and placed them aside. Su Hao stood up, picked up a roll of cotton thread, pulled out a thread, and rubbed it, praising, “This cotton thread is of good quality.”

Feng Xianglong said, “The cotton thread produced in Moyue City is famous throughout the entire Huayang Bei Prefecture. Of course, it’s good. Can it be used?”

Su Hao smiled, “Of course.”

After that, he placed several coils of thread in fixed positions, fixed the thread ends, and then manipulated them for a while, pointing to a green button, “Uncle, come over and press this green button.”

Feng Xianglong smiled and stepped forward to press it lightly.

“Click!”

He wanted to see what kind of medicine Su Hao was selling in the gourd.

    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.
