Chapter 72: Expanding the Factory (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Spring passed and autumn came. Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Shuanghu Island.

About a dozen miles away from the industrial zone, a huge mansion with green bricks and tiles that occupied hundreds of acres was located on the main spiritual eye of the spiritual vein.

The owner of this mansion was the young clan leader of the Chen Clan, Chen Daoxuan.

Normally, other than Chen Daoxuan, there were only a few young girls from the Chen family who worked as maids in the spiritual residence, cleaning up and maintaining the flowers and plants in the spiritual residence.

Fortunately, this place was located on the Chen family’s spirit vein. As the spirit qi became more abundant, the environment here also became more beautiful.

Compared to the wilderness outside the spirit gathering array, it was a world of difference.

In the spiritual residence.

In a fresh and elegant courtyard.

A figure sat cross-legged in front of the spirit pond.

Above the Spirit Pool, a Water Spirit Pearl was floating quietly. Wisps of mist gathered from the Spirit Pool towards the Water Spirit Pearl. After being purified by the Water Spirit Pearl, it spat out a purer Spiritual Qi, which was absorbed and refined by the figure in front of the Spirit Pool. It was converted into Genuine Qi and finally stored in the Dantian Qi Sea.

“Phew!”

Chen Daoxuan opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed in them.

Compared to the spiritual well in the cave dwelling in the Red Copper Mountain Range, the spiritual energy in this spiritual pond was many times more abundant.

Not to mention in front of this spirit pool, even in the spirit gathering array within a radius of ten miles, the spiritual qi floating in the air was not much less than the spiritual qi in the spirit eye back then.

Compared to the past, the current cultivation environment was like heaven.

” 1 didn’t expect the difference between the late and middle stage of the Refinement Realm to be so great. It took me nearly a year to break through from the sixth level of the Refinement Realm to the seventh level.”

Chen Daoxuan sighed.

Even though he knew that it would be more difficult to cultivate as he progressed.

However, he did not expect that a mere mid-stage to late-stage Qi Refinement realm barrier would take him nearly a year.

Chen Daoxuan was almost 18 years old this year.

Compared to a year and a half ago, his tender face had become more mature.

Especially since he had been in charge of the family affairs during this period of time, his temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes.

He was no longer an immature young cultivator, but the clan leader of the Chen clan who held the power of the clan.

While he was deep in thought.

A figure flew over from afar. Chen Daoxuan looked up and saw that it was the only female cultivator of the Chen Clan, Chen Daolan.

Over the past year, with the help of the Water Spirit Pearl, Qi Gathering Pill, and Level 1 spirit meridians, Chen Daolan’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the third qi layer.

It was five times faster than when Chen Daoxuan took five years to break through from the first qi layer to the third qi layer.

It wasn’t just Chen Daolin. Chen Daochu was also at the third qi layer like her.

As for the other three who had broken through to the first qi layer together, other than Chen Daochuan who had broken through to the second qi layer, the other two were still at the first qi layer like the other four.

This was something that could not be helped.

Even with the help of various resources, under the same circumstances, cultivators with good spiritual roots would cultivate faster than cultivators with poor spiritual roots.

In fact, it was only these few cultivators with low spiritual roots who were lucky enough to be born in the Chen family. If they were in a large family, cultivators with poor spiritual roots like them would not get many resources at all.

Not to mention that they would receive the same treatment as cultivators with superior spiritual roots.

The Chen family did not lack cultivation resources, but they lacked people. That was why they threw resources into it without considering the cost.

It could be predicted that as the newborn children of the Chen family grew up, the distribution of cultivation resources in the Chen family would definitely be closer to that of the big families.

Similarly, those with good aptitude would be given priority.

After all, this was the only way to maximize the use of resources and increase the strength of the family.

“Young Clan Leader!”

Lowering his body, Chen Daolan took two steps forward and bowed respectfully to Chen Daoxuan.

Compared to a year ago, Chen Daolan’s timidity had disappeared, and she became more confident from the inside out.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Daoxuan nodded.

” The old chief is back. He’s at the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Factory!”

“Really?”

Hearing that Thirteenth Uncle had returned, Chen Daoxuan hurriedly stood up from the futon. His serious face was replaced by a look of surprise.

Seeing the young clan leader’s expression, Chen Dailian looked like she wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. Her little face was red from holding it in.

Chen Daoxuan glanced at her and laughed, “”Let’s go, follow me to take a look.”

With that, he waved his sleeves and used the Wind Manipulation Technique to wrap the two of them up and fly toward the flying sword factory ten miles away.

In less than five minutes.

The two of them landed at the flying sword factory.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Chen Daoxuan found Chen Xianhe’s location.

“Thirteenth Uncle!”

Chen Daoxuan’s voice rang in Chen Xianhe’s ears before he arrived.

Chen Xianhe turned around and saw his nephew, who he had raised since he was a child. A smile appeared on his old face.” You came at the right time. I’m testing these kids on their refining skills.”

Chen Daoxuan looked at Chen Daochu and the others he was pointing at and said with a smile, “”Thirteenth Uncle, I guarantee that you’ll be surprised this time!”

“Oh?”

Chen Xianhe’s eyes lit up.

It had to be said.

In the past year, the Chen family had invested too much resources into Chen Daochu and the other three.

Compared to the resources that Chen Daoxuan used to learn refining, the resources that Chen Daochu and the others used were at least ten times more than his.

If it wasn’t for Chen Daoxuan’s constant reminders, if it wasn’t for the merfolk clan controlling a red copper mine and not lacking in spirit ore resources.

It was impossible for Chen Daochu and the others to become Armament Masters.

In reality.

The current Chen Daochu and Chen Daolan were not considered refiners.

According to the evaluation of artifact masters in the cultivation world, even the lowest level of a low-grade first-tier artifact master had to be familiar with the refining methods of at least three low-grade first-tier artifacts.

As for Chen Daochu and the others, apart from the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword, they didn’t know anything else.

Not only that, even though they said that they knew how to refine the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword, they didn’t know how to refine it.

This was because this step was completely done by the ordinary workers controlling the Harmonious Spirit Stoves.

In the end, Chen Daochu and the others were only half a pot of water.

However, half a pot of water was half a pot of water. It was an indisputable fact that Chen Daochu and the others could perfectly produce the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword with the assistance of the Harmonious Spirit Stove.

This was also the only thing Chen Daoxuan felt gratified about.

He didn’t need Chen Daochu and the others to reach the level of refiners required by the outside world, as long as they could meet the requirements of the assembly line of the flying sword factory.

Because this meant that the flying sword factory would welcome a new round of production capacity explosion.

Under Chen Xianhe’s gaze.

One by one, Chen Daochu and the others refined the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword perfectly.

Chen Xianhe took the flying swords they had refined and injected a stream of zhenqi into them. He praised them repeatedly,”Not bad, not much worse than your young clan leader.”

Chen Daochu and the others were delighted when they heard the old chief’s praise.

This proved that their hard work over the past year had not been in vain.

After saying that, Chen Xianhe looked at Chen Daoxuan and said, “”Since Dao Chu and the others can already refine the Scarlet Shadow Flying Sword, shouldn’t we put the expansion of the flying sword factory on the agenda?”

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan frowned..
