Chapter 245: Chapter 243: Yang Fu’s Eleventh Level of Qi Cultivation
To ensure that researchers keep secrets, there are many methods in the modern world.
During special periods, so many people are able to keep the nation’s crucial secrets through centralized military management.
“But I can’t do that in my lab… If I don’t let people go out and confiscate their electronic devices, who would be willing to work?”
As a private laboratory, not dedicated to those lofty ideals, restricting others’ freedom… that’s too risky.
“Offer more money?”
“That’s not safe either…”
...
Yang Genshuo thought for a while and found all the methods impractical—secrets are too hard to keep in the Internet age.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead.
“Ah! If modern methods don’t work, I can use the methods of the Immortal Cultivation World!”
“In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are plenty of ways to ensure that people won’t betray you.”
Not to mention the kind of slave contracts signed by Baji, there are also other more gentle methods.
Among them, some low-level talismans can achieve secrecy.
Yang Genshuo searched through the warehouse at his home for items the Yang Family had presented over the years.
“I remember there was something like that…”
Yang Genshuo, whenever he saw something good, would have the Yang Family offer it up, and his study was now completely overflowing. Fortunately, there were many rooms in his courtyard, including a small warehouse that was relatively empty. He bought a bunch of steel shelves to hold all the items presented to him.
“Found it!”
“[Low-Level Contract Talisman]”
A First Grade Talisman that allows signatories to form a contract, thereby binding their actions, but it only works on cultivators below the Qi Refinement Realm. Once their cultivation is profound, they can forcibly break free from the contract by virtue of their own strength.
“This First Grade Contract Talisman should suffice, even I am presently unable to violate the contract terms.”
“The things from both worlds can have special functions in the other world… truly amazing.”
These past few days, Yang Genshuo felt that his understanding of both worlds had been superficial, merely trafficking goods back and forth.
In fact… the rational application of technologies from both sides can bring a wonderful chemical reaction to both worlds, solving things that seem extremely challenging in their respective worlds.
Like genetic editing technology, and the talismans from the Immortal Cultivation World.
Master Dao was also worried about the secrecy issue when he heard he had to recruit a few people.
“Brother Shuo, I’ve actually wanted to recruit some people for a long time. There are a few students who have worked with me on experiments before, and they are very capable, but the secrecy… we really can’t guarantee it.”
“Don’t worry, I have a brilliant plan. Just find the people yourself, the more, the better, and quickly!”
The opening of the Dragon God Immortal Palace was extremely important to Yang Genshuo!
Inside were the top-level treasures he dreamt of obtaining that could grant a Spirit Root!
He wasn’t afraid even if Earth lacked Spiritual Energy, because he could get enough Spirit Stones and Elixirs from the Yang Family descendants!
He just needed a Spirit Root, and everything became possible!
Especially now that Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo in the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect were exposed to more matters, their understanding of Immortal Cultivation deepened, with an endless emergence of assistive techniques; he had abundant methods for cultivation.
But the breakthrough from 0 to 1 was the most crucial.
Yang Genshuo knew he must get Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo into the Dragon God Immortal Palace—and quickly!
Delay could mean trouble!
Yang Genshuo felt… it was impossible for the Immortal Palace to simply wait around for them to gather everything needed for its opening and then claim its treasures.
He wasn’t from the Immortal Cultivation World, and looking at this matter from the outside, he sensed several suspicious aspects…
“First, Long Hong said that the Dragon God Immortal Palace was the home of the Dragon Clan’s deity, so it’s full of treasures. They’ve also gained the treasures of three palaces by solving the first two puzzles, but… is it guaranteed to acquire all the treasures after the third puzzle? What if there’s a fourth, a fifth?”
“Second, if Dragon God Immortal Palace truly belongs to the Dragon God, and the Dragon God has its own offspring, why not leave it to them? Why keep it for a so-called predestined one to take? I don’t believe the Dragon God is that selfless…”
“Third, the Dragon Clan’s nature of being greedy and collecting treasures is etched in their genes, a common understanding shared by all cultivators in the Spirit Miao Continent. Wouldn’t the Dragon God want to keep its collected treasures with itself forever, rather than letting them go? This contradicts the nature of the species.”
As a modern person, after being immersed in so many novels, Yang Genshuo tended to view problems more objectively.
He always felt there was something off about the Dragon God Immortal Palace…
“Although I’ve said so much, we still need to solve the third puzzle first! We’ve already expended so much effort, we can’t afford to lose more.”
“Moreover, the Yang Family must make significant contributions. As the Pavilion Master and elder, Long Hong said that benefits will be allotted according to our contributions. Once we’ve contributed enough treasures, we can then take initiative in the following actions.”
“Even if we don’t get the huge fortune from the Dragon God Immortal Palace, finding just one Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure in the rewards would be enough!”
“Finally… we have to act swiftly. Who knows what will happen in the Immortal Cultivation World 30 years from now? What if the Dragon God Immortal Palace just up and leaves?”
While Yang Genshuo thought so, the descendants of the Yang Family on his computer sped up their work.
A little later, Cheng Bo called him.
“Bro Shuo, I forgot to ask you earlier, how are we handling the treatment of the research staff… Does it count as being employed? Is there insurance and the like?”
“What’s your treatment like at the university?”
“I get a salary of eight thousand a month, along with some miscellaneous subsidies, covering accommodation and meals, and also social insurance and housing fund.”
“Increase their treatment by 30% compared to yours, then register them under You Xianqi Winery. The company will pay for social security and housing fund. I remember there are some unused buildings near the lab. Turn them into dormitories and a canteen. I’ll hire people to cook and clean, offering five-star hotel-style services. You guys can live and dine there.”
“Damn! These masters are getting paid 30% more than my PhD salary? And they get personal service? I’m so freaking jealous, Bro Shuo!”
“We have a confidentiality principle; it’s normal for the pay to be higher. Go recruit some assistants.”
“Hehe~ with this treatment… I’m gonna go show off at the school today, and nobody can stop me!”
After hanging up, Cheng Bo went straight to the university to make a spectacle of himself, evidently planning to show off big time.
Imagine that scene, Yang Genshuo smiled, instructed Guo Xiaozhi to set up the canteen and dormitory, then didn’t bother with the matter any further.
“It’s so satisfying having people do the work for you… everything’s handled without leaving home.”
“Of course, that’s all predicated on having money…”
The money he earned from Zhao Dalong yesterday would come in handy now.
“Dao Ye’s lab has drained all of my savings… I need to earn some more.”
Next, as if to prove Zhao Dalong’s words, various big bosses started calling the winery one after another, placing orders for the wine briskly and generously.
Quick as a flash, 500,000 was wired into the company’s accounts, as if it was barely money at all.
“Damn… this is even faster than getting money from the, Bank of Heaven and Earth.”
The explosive transaction volumes even alerted the anti-fraud officers… who came knocking for an investigation.
“Our Big Data surveillance detected… your establishment is suspected of money laundering! Who is in charge here? Come with us for questioning!”
Guo Xiaozhi gasped coldly.
“This… We’re running a legitimate business here, with a proper business license and we pay taxes according to the regulations. How could we be suspected of money laundering?”
The leader of the team glanced at the winery’s pricing and snorted coldly, “A jar of wine for 500,000?”
“Yes!”
“You think this is Zimbabwean dollars? Selling sky-high priced wine and still talking tough, I think it’s time you learned the law! Take him away!”
“Hold on!”
Yang Genshuo hurried over upon hearing the news.
When it rains, it pours. Why is my business attracting so much attention?
“Hello, hello, I’m the owner, there might be some misunderstanding…”
“You come with us too.”
Yang Genshuo: “…”
Great, the brothers ended up delivering themselves on a platter.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Genshuo felt that although this should be no problem, being dragged in for questioning was too embarrassing, so instead…
“Oh, I remembered incorrectly, actually, he is the legal representative, just take him, I’m just here to watch the excitement.”
The team leader verified the information and realized it was indeed the case, so he let Yang Genshuo go.
“Don’t go anywhere lately, and be available on call if we have questions for you.”
“Okay~”
Guo Xiaozhi: “???”
Fine, fine, fine, in the end, it’s all on me.
Yang Genshuo spread his hands, indicating there was nothing he could do.
He couldn’t possibly ask for help from Leader Cui over such a trivial matter, right? He wouldn’t want to waste favors on something he could handle himself. That was Yang Genshuo’s principle in handling affairs.
“Don’t worry, we operate legally and in compliance, there won’t be a problem.”
“That’s true…”
Most of the company’s business was handled by Guo Xiaozhi, so he knew best. With this thought, he stopped worrying.
Just when they were about to take the person away, a Hongqi minivan pulled up outside, and two people got out from it.
“What’s all this about?”
The team leader glanced at the license plate of the car and then at the people who got out, his eyelids twitching.
“Handling a… case.”
“Why are you holding onto Director Guo? I need to discuss some things with him.”
“Ah, this…”
A while later…
Guo Xiaozhi sat in the office, leisurely drinking tea, a smug look on his face.
“Brother Shuo, not to brag, but our customers are either rich or noble, all with a bit of clout. In this little patch of Shimen City, nobody dares to touch Guo Xiaozhi.”
“Director Guo is that awesome?”
Yang Genshuo’s face was exaggerated.
“Hahahahaha~ No more pretending. The big shot from the day before yesterday, now that’s the real deal. Brother Shuo, you just make a call and smooth things over easily.”
“Don’t owe favors for no reason, they all need to be repaid later…”
Yang Genshuo languidly said.
“Fine, you just focus on making money, I’m going home.”
“Got it, you’re going back to contact those people in Southeast Asia regarding shipments, right? Today’s call volume exploded, seems like all the rich big shots who usually can’t be seen are coming out of the woodwork. Look at this… David, he’s even a foreign enterprise boss, don’t know where he heard about us, but he also ordered two jars.”
“It’s in your hands.”
Yang Genshuo waved his hand and drove home.
On the computer, two years had passed by.
Yang Fu had already reached Qi Cultivation Perfection and was attempting to advance.
“Eh? Yang Fu is about to advance? It’s over, the benefits of cultivation have come to an end… once Foundation Establishment Stage is reached, the negative effects of the Fallen Genius also kick in.”
“Sigh… what a pity, the top talent of the Yang Family, gone! From now on, it’s up to the third generation of the Yang Family.”
Both Yang Qiang and Yang Qiangjin have talents far surpassing those of brothers Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo. Although Yang Qiangyou’s Spirit Root is average, he possesses a Heavenly Level Talent “Fool,” with extremely high Qi Fortune, who knows what kind of opportunities to Reverse Heaven and Change Fate he might encounter in the future.
On the other hand, Yang Fu’s limits were already visible.
“Foundation Establishment is not bad, at least it’s Five Elements Foundation Establishment, his strength crushes those in the same realm…”
“Has he gathered his Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects? He should use 5 of them theoretically.”
“Eh? Why isn’t he using the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects? How will he break through?”
On the screen, Yang Fu sat cross-legged at the top of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, surrounded by the Five Elements Spiritual River with a strand of smooth thunder light flickering in the middle, not yet restored to the strength it had before the Heavenly Mechanism Sect extracted it.
“I need the Heavenly Tribulation to assist me, otherwise, this Thunder Spiritual Power is not yet Perfect…”
“Our ancestors said my talent can only reach Foundation Establishment, my cultivation speed will slow down by 90% afterwards, and I will no longer have Heavenly Tribulation… I’ll never be able to condense Thunder Spiritual Power again.”
“Since that’s the case… then I’ll cultivate another layer of Qi!”
Yang Fu, well-versed in numerous Cultivation Techniques, had transformed the Five Elements Transfer Skill into a Cultivation Technique more suitable for himself over the past few years.
He called it: “Six Paths Qi Cultivation Technique.”
The most critical aspect of it was… using the power of Heavenly Tribulation to compress his Five Elements Spiritual Power and continue advancing from Great Qi Cultivation Perfection, reaching the eleventh layer of Qi Cultivation!
“As long as I keep cultivating Qi, I will always have Heavenly Tribulation coming, allowing me to condense stronger Thunder Spiritual Power.”
Yang Fu crossed his arms, and instantly compressed the Five Elements Spiritual River!
His aura skyrocketed, but without the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, without comprehension of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, and no True Fire of Foundation Establishment…
There was only an extremely dense Spiritual Power!
Boom!
The Thunder Cloud appeared once again!
