"I see, it requires leveraging the mechanical power of the Forbidden Land."

The elder instinctively stroked his beard, only to find that the body he was inhabiting was smooth-faced and beardless.

He nodded and continued: "Can this kind of mechanical power be replicated?"

"Yes."

Wang Jixuan chuckled:

"Senior, just send someone to the Forbidden Land to learn for a few years, and you'll easily acquire an entire production line."

He wasn't lying with these words.

After all, the mechanical level that the Yina Civilization achieved is a height that current Earth Civilization cannot yet reach.

And the development of the Core Circuit is not only the result of Three Realms Wanderer's painstaking efforts for a thousand years but also involves a large number of research teams cooperating.

You can certainly procure chip manufacturing machines from the Forbidden Land, that's absolutely true.

But whether you can replicate the Core Circuit, that's another matter.

This thing counts as a monopolistic resource unique to Wang Jixuan; he didn't dare name a price directly, but rather had to wait until the people from the Immortal Realm faced difficulties and came to him, at which point he could propose some conditions.

Yin Lin laughed: "Aren't you here? Come on, rub out a Core Circuit for Elder Shao to see!"

Wang Jixuan nearly lost his balance: "I can create a Core Circuit with a diameter of thirty feet, that's the limit of the Prohibition Forging Technique I currently master."

Elder Shao also said: "Don't make things difficult for Wang Zheng; even if I make a move, it would take at least half a year to completely replicate the prohibition within it, and the size of this thing would not be smaller than this tabletop, which falls far short of a Core Circuit that can directly be nurtured in a mortal body, transforming mortals into Unification Realm cultivators."

Yin Lin repeatedly agreed.

Wang Jixuan also dared not speak further.

Elder Shao bowed his head to ponder, the thought in his eyes growing increasingly serious.

Elder Shao suddenly asked: "Is it difficult for you to become immortal?"

"Yes," Wang Jixuan immediately replied, "I'm not in my first life of cultivation; in my previous life, I successfully ascended in the Forbidden Land but was pointed down when crossing the Immortal Gate."

"I've heard about that."

Elder Shao spoke slowly:

"The Three Realms Stone of the Dark Sect suddenly revealed a pattern, after which a vice sect hierarch of the Dark Sect ordered the search for a lone soul that had escaped his palm hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"We at Tianluo also heard of this, which is why we inquired about the Heavenly Dao Stele and learned about your past history.

"However, the person back then who pointed you down was just doing his duty; he was a Guardian Immortal at an Ascension Platform, and the Forbidden Land does not permit immortality, so he acted to eradicate you.

"I'm asking you, is it difficult for you to become immortal now?"

"Probably have a sixty to seventy percent chance."

"Hmm, that's not bad."

Elder Shao slowly rose and laughed:

"In that case, I'll wait for you to bring the mechanical power to the Immortal Realm."

"If this can be promoted broadly, Tianluo's supervision of various realms can be restored to its peak.

"What do they, the Dark Sect, rely on to grow and thrive? Isn't it just so-called no-taboo freedom, not having to adhere to rules, and being able to brazenly plunder and pillage?"

"To say a word of Heavenly Dao injustice, they willingly bear the burden of the world, openly committing those acts of oppressing the good and fearing evil, engaging in cunning and greed... Ah, let's not talk about it, the rapid degeneration of human nature is something us old folks cannot foresee."

"Being old indeed makes one fond of rambling."

"Let's end the conversation here today; everything can only be discussed when you come to the Immortal Realm."

After speaking, Elder Shao was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked back at Yin Lin.

"Keep an eye on this kid, if a hair is missing, I'll hold you accountable."

Yin Lin sat in his wheelchair with a dry laugh: "I can't prevent the Heavenly Dao from bringing down the Heavenly Tribulation."

"He's gone through it twice, he should be confident, no need to rush."

Before the words finished, Elder Shao's figure had already vanished with the breeze.

The body Elder Shao used returned to a bamboo loft, shivered, a wisp of immortal spirit energy quietly dissipated, and the original owner of this body immediately got up and performed a Daoist bow, not daring to say much, continuing to honestly retreat and cultivate.

Inside Wang Jixuan's pavilion.

Master Wang and Yin Lin stared at each other.

Yin Lin's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Impressive, not only did you disturb Elder Shao, but also gained a backing... When you rise to prominence, don't forget the care from this Hall Master."

"I dare not dream of rising to prominence."

Wang Jixuan sighed lightly, intentionally speaking these words for Yin Lin to hear:

"The method of creating Core Circuits, probably only I can handle; it involves mechanical skills that the technological civilization of common Forbidden Lands have difficulty achieving."

"However, I need to go back once to bring some of those things out."

Yin Lin nodded: "Understood, once you reach the Mahayana Realm and can survive under the hands of a Loose Immortal, I will naturally arrange a trip back for you... Do you have any requests right now? Just ask while I'm in a good mood."

"I want to take a walk outside," Wang Jixuan pointed outside, "It's my first time in the True Realm, Hall Master. Do you think it's convenient?"

"It's convenient, but you wouldn't be thinking of bringing out those guys from your Jiezhi Qiankun, would you?"

Yin Lin frowned and said:

"This is the Tianluo Branch, the extension of the Heavenly Dao into the Endless Star Sea, an angel walking amongst mortals. Don't make excessive requests."

Wang Jixuan brushed his nose.

Hehe.

...

Half an hour later.

A small Cloud Boat left the Sky Net Station, flying over the forbidden area of the living beings in the east and west directions of the Youbao Abyss at high altitude.

At the bow of the Cloud Boat, Yin Lin was enjoying a massage from a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man had a rare flat top haircut, he was as lean as a monkey, with an ingratiating smile, his movements skillful. If Yin Lin made a single misstep, it would reflect poorly on this man's character.

The man with this haircut was, naturally, Zheng Shiduo.

In the cabin at the back of the Cloud Boat.

Wang Jixuan sat quietly meditating, feeling the wonders of Heaven and Earth.

Amina and Gao Huating were strolling around, while Mu Dan and the Red Snake hid at the stern to catch the wind.

As they approached the outside workshop, Mu Dan and the Red Snake were to return to Wang Jixuan's portable subspace, mainly because the Red Snake, being a 'demon', had to hide, and Mu Dan, as a 'mechanical girl', was purely coerced by the unsatisfied Red Snake.

Comfortably, Yin Lin called out: "Wang Zheng, your subordinate is quite smart."

Wang Jixuan didn't even open his eyes, replying: "If the Hall Master wants him to work for Tianluo, that's his destiny and blessing."

Lao Zheng immediately said: "Yes, yes, I am willing to become a Justice Messenger for the Hall Master and to serve diligently!"

"Better save your breath."

Yin Lin said indifferently:

"After all, he's not a real cultivator. Causing trouble would easily attract the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, and I don't want to be watched every day.

"Also, this time, bringing you here is to broaden your horizons and see the world. This is the True Realm, where a bunch of cultivators eager to become immortals fight to get in. If you encounter any difficulties later, remember to back down."

"Rest assured, Hall Master."

Daoist Wang shrugged:

"I won't fight or compete, and I have no needs."

"Do you have Spirit Stones?" Yin Lin asked.

Wang Jixuan:...

Yes, and it's a Spirit Stone Mine vein, with probably a few billion ordinary Spirit Stones, tens of millions of high-grade Spirit Stones, and hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone Essences suitable for Artifact Refining.

Given the principle of hiding wealth and unable to explain the real origin of this Spirit Stone Mine—it was dug out on another planet after Yina Civilization won the war back then.

So, Wang Jixuan cautiously said: "A little, but not much."

"Here, take this."

Yin Lin raised his hand and tossed a pouch over.

Daoist Wang opened the pouch and saw neatly arranged Spirit Stones inside, each one six inches long, two inches wide, and two inches high, the standard 'Array General Spirit Stone', and the Spiritual Energy contained in them was quite good.

Spirit Stones are consumables in the cultivation world, and one of the few hard currencies, typically used as currency.

Some sects buy Spirit Stones with depleted Spiritual Power to bury them near the 'Dragon Vein Mine', allowing them to precipitate for tens of thousands of years and then emit Spiritual Energy again. However, such Spirit Stones contain less Spiritual Power per volume, are considered second-class Spirit Stones, and are also duller in color.

Second-class Spirit Stones, regular Spirit Stones (commonly referred to as Spirit Stones), and high-grade Spirit Stones are the small, medium, and large denominations of 'currency' in the cultivation world.

The contribution points in Tianluo can be directly exchanged for Spirit Stones; one contribution can be exchanged for three high-grade Spirit Stones or thirty regular Spirit Stones.

Yin Lin giving Wang Jixuan three thousand Spirit Stones was indeed quite generous.

He genuinely wanted to befriend Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan did not stand on ceremony, cupping his hands and smiling: "Thank you, Hall Master."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I don't have much use for these Spirit Stones, use them to buy a few skirts for those beauties. Their current attire is a bit too attention-grabbing."

Yin Lin advised again:

"Remember, we are not on a mission now, so there's no need to act on behalf of Heaven, act heroically, with not disturbing the original order of this realm as the first rule."

"Mm, alright."

Wang Jixuan nodded seriously.

Surely, nothing major will happen today.
