Chapter 751: Conservation and Recycling of Resources for Yield Maximization

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mount Indigo” was situated on a mountain in the north of China.

In the monastery hall, Old Master Ma Futian was attending to a guest from the Upper Realm with a glum face.

“My lady, it’s really nice of you to grace us with your presence. If there’s anything you need, we’ll be sure to assist you however we can.” Old Master Ma proposed although he did not really mean what he said.

A goddess dressed in white was seated on the wooden chair opposite him.

She was graceful, demure and exuded an air of elegance, which made her look ethereal and lovely.

“Old Master, you are too kind. Since you’re able to inherit our clan’s technique, this shows that it’s your destiny. You don’t have to react this way.” The goddess replied graciously.

This was the reason why Old Master Ma uttered that line earlier. The fact that he managed to master Lake-level today was due to an inheritance from the Upper Realm after exorcizing a demon once.

He did not pass down this ancestral Order to the coming generations. In fact, most ancestral matters were not successfully cultivated in the Era of Vitality and a lot of people ended up going into deviatory psychosis… Whereas, a few Orders that were used for meditation served some purpose of testing the limits of the psyche.

Today, the real heiress of this ancestral Order had knocked on his door.

He owed the actual heiress a lot. The fact that he was able to last through so many disasters and secure his current position was due to the inheritance of powers from the Upper Realm.

As a previously irrelevant, third-rate Taoist priest who lived in poverty and guarded a dilapidated temple, he rose through his hardships and became a well-known demon-slaying priest within the cultivation realm. Even though it was not exactly the best outcome, he was still better off than many.

It was all because he slew a demon one day and received some special techniques from the Upper Realm.

Despite them being beginner techniques, they could successfully forge a Lake-level powerhouse. This showed how profound and thorough the cultivation techniques of the Upper Realm were, which surpassed those on Earth by leaps and bounds.

If he wanted to promote his own outlook, he had to obtain more content from the inheritance, and he could only rely on the clans of the Upper Realm for this.

However, he also knew very well that the beings of the Upper Realm held a wholly different worldview from the Earthlings, and this created lots of difficulties in communication.

Earth had long since entered the modern civilization and established societal values of equality, or at least equality based on namesake, but the Upper Realm beings did not recognize this concept. Instead, they still honored the law of the jungle.

They were not savages by any means, but it was the Trueness Cultivation Ability that decided this principle. The huge differences in physical size simply did not allow for equality.

Even the Bodhisattva Spirit King, who was the easiest to negotiate with, was willing to admit that he was equal to Chong Daqing, but not so when it came to admitting his equality with a spirit…

Or else, Bodhisattva would not have used a Spirit King to craft a treasure…

Bodhisattva was a good man. Old Master Ma acknowledged this, but the former still held opinions about race which could not be seen by others. Only an old fellow like Old Master Ma could see this.

Now, he only hoped that this goddess from the Upper Realm would be easier to negotiate with. At least, it seemed to be likely.

“It’s very gracious of you, my lady. Is there anything that Old Master Ma can assist you with? Just let me know.” Old Master Ma would never do all those superficial things. He believed these magical beings and had no time for those redundant formalities practiced by the Earthlings.

Perhaps back in the heydays of the Upper Realm, they had all sorts of banquets, but look at the moment now.

Ever since the Upper Realm Crisis, everyone was busy fighting for survival. How was anyone willing to waste precious time?

Hence, he did not bother to go to great lengths to welcome his guest. Instead, he let his guest talk about her purpose of visiting.

“Old Master, you’re very straightforward. In fact, the reason I came to the Lower Realm is that I have an important mission at hand.” The goddess smiled.

“Might Old Master Ma know about this?” Old Master Ma enquired cautiously.

Even a Lake-level master like him was no match for a goddess. He felt her immense power.

“The Upper Realm Crisis had resulted in the exhaustion and imminent extinction of Vitality. The Taoist Saints grieve over this and as such, they have decided that when they come to this realm, they must enforce a new order to make sure the previous crisis doesn’t repeat itself.” The goddess explained with a sorrowful look on her face.

“I see. It’s just that the present realm is in the midst of restoring its Vitality and as of now, there’s no sign of a lack of it… Isn’t it a bit too early to consider this?” Old Master Ma was doubtful.

The goddess shook her head. “No, no. To tackle a problem, we must look at the big picture. The beings of the Upper Realm used to be able to salvage the situation, but it was their continuous delays that caused the situation to be irreparable. Hence, a new order has to be imposed from the start.”

“I see. Your sagacity is unmatched by peasants like me who fail to see the bigger picture. Please forgive me.” Old Master Ma quickly apologized.

“It’s alright. It’s always crucial to start off on the right foot. There’s just been a rebirth of Vitality in this realm and this is the time to establish the beginning of all civilizations.” The goddess smiled.

“I wonder what this new order is like. Would this old man be fortunate enough to know about it?” Old Master Ma asked sincerely.

“To speak in the language of this realm, it can be summarized in only eight words.”

“Which eight words?”

“Conservation and recycling of resources for yield maximization.”

After a secretive conversation, Old Master Ma let the goddess from the Upper Realm stay in a chamber at the back of the monastery. He let his son Ma Ping personally attend to her while he headed straight for the Truth Department’s headquarters in the north.

…

Time crept by stealthily. Soon, it was the third year and eighth month of Shenyuan. It was already two years past the birth of the System.

It had also been two years since the Era of Vitality was set into motion.

However, it was exactly like what Sir System had said, that Fang Ning never cared for him and never once had he celebrated his birthday…

Fang Ning did not have that kind of attention. Right now, he was at a medical institution and accompanied by a group of specialists. They were observing the conception of a test tube baby.

He used the spiritual sense of a Lake-level powerhouse to scan the process, which was more powerful than the most sophisticated digital microscope of that time.

The so-called concept of “entering microscopic levels” was not mere talk. If one’s spiritual sense was strong enough, he would be able to see materials at their atomic level.

Actually, cultivators made the best scientists, and this was the truth. In the Upper Realm, a big portion of the most advanced technologies was invented by the free and skillful wandering spirits.

In a small test tube, a sperm cell and an ovum met, and then love sparked between them.

Sometimes, there were too few sperm cells, which called for the involvement of external forces…

Fang Ning watched this process with awe. He knew about it last time, but he never experienced it on his own. The humans’ development of medical technology was rather impressive. As long as they kept on with this advancement, it might not be as fast and miraculous like those magical healing techniques.

As for Sir System’s Resurrection Technique, it was just like magic.

However, the best part was that it did not waste Vitality, but it could be copied to larger areas and would not be limited to a few Miracle Doctors.

The specialists treated him very well. After all, who did not recognize this hero in front of them?

The Eastern Pharos, an incarnation of justice, the founder of the “Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique”…

So many names had been given to him, but the last one stood out the most.

Due to the Truth Department’s widespread promotion among adults in China, as long as one was mentally and physically fit, everyone cultivated this ability.

All of these specialists did so as well. Since cultivating this ability, they felt lively and energetic. After all, they were wealthy and could afford the most expensive Vitality Herbs on the market to supplement their training. They could even afford to hire Pond-level cultivators to assist them with enlightenment and mastery.

Two years had passed anyway. There were still many local Pond-level masters. The base of billions of people was there, and with the reliance on the Eastern Pharos, no large-scale extinctions had occurred. The hidden geniuses survived the initial catastrophe and began to grow up independently.

Now, what better opportunity than to let the founder explain to them personally?

Moreover, they believed that the other party would not be stingy since they just finished giving them a lecture.

This was a group of Einsteins.

Naturally, Fang Ning was embarrassed about rejecting this request, thus he explained based on his own understanding.

If it were Sir System, he would have simply ignored these people’s request. He would rather spend his free time on training.

A young specialist listened attentively. He seemed to be in his thirties and was probably one of those geniuses.

After all, anyone who was sent to the Eastern Pharos’ lecture about human reproduction should be the brightest specialist in his or her respective field. It was not only diligence that allowed him to stand amidst the senior specialists at this young age.

During the Q&A session, he sighed in amazement. “Venerable One, judging by what you said, this technique is indeed miraculous. An area that is low on Vitality can nevertheless absorb food, gather essence and transform it to replace Vitality.

“True. Venerable One’s action can actually benefit the populace. At least everyone has something to hope for.” All of the specialists agreed collectively.

The young specialist sighed again. “Recently, I’ve rented an area for the cultivation of Vitality. I don’t know why, but the Vitality concentration over there seems to be decreasing. If I were to continue using my previous cultivation technique, I would definitely have to use another area. Venerable One, your astounding technique is effective and has certainly saved my household a lot of money.”

Apparently, this fellow was also a transitory cultivator.

This piqued Fang Ning’s interest, but he did not say anything as he could not be bothered to care…
