Chapter 671 Spiritual Communicator.
Shi Lang met the two girls and told him about the plan. He did not hide that he would leave the sect to practice and improve himself. The girls understood that he was not only their master but also a cultivator himself. They could not ask him to sit back and babysit them.
Shi Lang gave them both a careful plan for their cultivation. The amount of details mentioned prevented them from making unnecessary mistakes and also slowed down their rush to the path of the strong. Shi Lang was not hampering their growth but was regulating them towards a place where they had impeccable cultivation foundations and firm basics.
In the latter stages of the cultivation, they would not need fancy spiritual skills, but the knowledge of basics will help them better understand the essence of skills. The two girls took the plans and began to study them carefully. Shi Lang left them to their measures and came to the main Hall.
He saw Yang Niao talking to a female disciple. The deputy hall master was focused on excelling the Asura Hall to the peak. He spotted Shi Lang and said, "Hall Master, the base price for the communicator is set at a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. Do you think it is worth it?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "It is alright, but I have another option to maximize the benefits."
The female disciple trained her ears and asked, "Hall Master, what is it?"
Shi Lang guessed that she was probably the person looking after the economic aspect of the Hall. The terran nodded and said, "During the sale of the last batch of the communicators, the transaction can be made with cultivation techniques of the equivalent amount. Although the techniques we win with such a method will not be substantially good, we will still have a better arsenal. Once we master these techniques, the people can work together to find the defects and use them against any enemy who uses them or to make ourselves stronger. Similarly, cultivation resources can be exchanged as well. Do you understand what I mean?"
The young disciple was shocked, but then she nodded quickly. Yang Niao waved his hand, took a third-generation Spirit communicator from his space ring, and handed it to Shi Lang. The terran inspected the device in every aspect and found that the craftsmanship of the immortal experts was putting the urban factory-produced units to shame.
After careful thought, he found that the immortal experts were above the machines they made in the federation. No wonder the final result of their work was this great. He could not understand how they managed to replace the power source initially. Still, when he used the communicator, he found that the spiritual energy in the surroundings slowly gushed toward it.
Shi Lang found that he was able to use many necessary features. One of them was the map of the world. A small mechanism shifted a small jade sphere over the center, and the spirit energy flowed through it from below. The jade illuminated a holographic geographic map of the surroundings.
A dial on the side of the communicator could spin the jade and change the location to check the map. Many details were labeled on the map, like the big families of the region, the territory lines, and the main landmarks of the wilderness.
Shi Lang was surprised and turned to look at Yang Niao, who said, "This generation of spirit communicators will allow us to store the spirit essence of a person in jade balls. All the relays are paired with a spirit essence guidance array formation. So, if a user channels the spiritual essence to convey a message to the people outside, the array in the nearby relay will relay it to the Asura Hall.
Then, another relay will channel the spirit essence to the receiver's nearby relay and, finally, the receiver's communicator. We are currently limited to text messages, but we will find ways to create complete holographic communication in the future."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "I am impressed by the quality of this unit, but I want to ask why have you guys not made it the way I asked you to?"
The initial plan that he had handed out was based on his original communication. He could not understand what could have caused the problem or obstructed them from producing a similar model.
Yang Niao sighed and said, "Hall Master, we intended to make it similar to what you have told us, but the fact is that we do not have the resources to keep up with the production. The biggest issue is the relay probe in the void. We cannot make that until we have a mine in the backyard."
Shi Lang was stunned and said, "I have forgotten the need for such resources. Well, is there any way we can find them?"
Yang Niao nodded and said, "If we can form connections with someone from the guilds or the trading houses, such as the Xiao Family of the Tianxu Pavilion or the Cloud Pavilion. Even the head hunter organization is a good partner. However, they are too reclusive, and the trade houses would seek monopoly over our resources."
Shi Lang nodded thoughtfully and said, "You do not have to worry. We have several ways to make connections with these forces."
Yang Niao was surprised, and Shi Lang continued, "Have the experts who worked on the communicator arrays and smithing aspects join the guilds. I will work to reach the golden rank head hunter in a few months, and then I will have a better chance to access the channels and get the resources."
Yang Naio was not surprised, but he was not very confident either. Shi Lang was still young, but Yang Naio agreed to the idea of how to join the alliances. The terran said, "Do you need any help with the auction?"
Yang Naio shook his head and said, "Do not worry, I will handle that. You can sit back and enjoy the show."
Shi Lang nodded and sat on the sidelines as he watched the people create a stall at the foot of the mountain. He closed his eyes and focused on his cultivation. The spiritual aura on the hilltop was stronger compared to before. It turned out that the people had engraved a cluster of smaller spirit-gathering arrays on the ground.
...
In the morning, the representatives of both sects gathered, and they were stunned that the Lost Bird Sect had come across such an artifact and were willing to sell it for resources and more spirit stones. The first batch was sold to the seven birds sect for five hundred spirit stones.
Shi Lang did not say anything to the people and just watched them from behind the barrier. He bought out the two girls to watch the proceedings with him. They had heard about the world of cultivators, but this was the first time they had experienced the situation.
Shi Lang gave them a couple of communicators and arranged for guardian disciples. These disciples will protect them and teach them the cunning they need to survive in the world of cultivators. They needed to master everything, like business and diplomacy. He could not bring them inside a simulation cabin, or the time saved would have been significantly high.
He shook his head and shook off the thoughts of advancement, and he would think about this when he was reunited with Amelia. After all, creating a simulation cabin was not something that he could handle on his own, and he did not think that the experts would be able to handle that high-level task.
...
The next day, Shi Lang departed from the Asura hall. He left behind his spiritual essence for connection, and Yang Naio and his disciples could reach his spirit communicator. Hei Lei was also left behind to guard the two disciples. The lightning mane horse may not look like it had great combat effectiveness, but it was all a facade.
If not for Shi Lang being someone with lightning spiritual roots, he would have died the first day he tried to tame Hei Lei.
...
Shi Lang began his journey on a high note and hunted down a group of assassins wanted by the Head Hunter organization for killing several virgin girls to seek demonic power. Shi Lang was quick, and his actions were ruthless. He directly submitted the heads of the three people to the Moon Night diner.
Then, he went on to hunt many criminals and demonic beasts in the region. His speed was anything but slow, and his effectiveness had gained him respect in the circle of headhunters. In just a month and a few weeks, he had finished ten tasks and was promoted to the golden rank headhunter.
Shi Lang had just received his golden plate when he saw a task that needed him to visit the front, where he would have to fight the demonic beasts on the night of the blood moon. The task was posted by none other than the high elder.
