Chapter 241 The Way of Luck

Chapter 241 The Way of Luck
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Chen stopped practicing.

"call--"

He exhaled and sensed the current time. He couldn't help but frowned: "It's already been three days? But it doesn't feel like much time has passed."

"It's normal. The higher your cultivation level, the longer you will spend in meditation. Firstly, it takes more time to improve your cultivation level. Secondly, as your life span increases, your perception of the passage of time will also decrease. When we were Immortal Emperors, we could spend dozens or even hundreds of years in seclusion at a time."

Zhu Yueyao's voice sounded in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw that she was meditating on a cushion beside him. However, she was not practicing. Instead, she was talking to the Moon Goddess.

"That's it."

Fang Chen could accept this statement, which was consistent with his impression of cultivators in his previous life.

However, he still shook his head and sighed: "It took three days to pierce the Lianquan acupoint, and it only took one night to pierce the Chengjiang acupoint before."

"Just be content. This cultivation speed is faster than many cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots."

Zhu Yueyao sighed. In fact, she had long been accustomed to Fang Chen's greed. After all, during their symbiotic relationship, he had complained many times that his cultivation speed was not fast enough.

Although her consciousness was not stable at that time, she still remembered some things.

The Moon Goddess did the same, smiling and saying, "The Chengjiang acupoint can be penetrated from both sides at the same time, but the subsequent acupoints can only be penetrated from one direction, so the speed is naturally different."

"This is a small matter, but you said that my cultivation speed is already faster than that of cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots. Why is this so?"

Fang Chen himself could roughly guess the reason why the Chengjiang acupoint was easy to penetrate, so he was more interested in what Zhu Yueyao said, that his cultivation speed was already comparable to that of a cultivator with natural spiritual roots.

"The spiritual roots of the cultivators with the same level of cultivation as you are usually at the lower level of the second order. Your spiritual roots have advanced to the middle level of the second order ahead of time. The level of spiritual roots has a great impact on the speed of cultivation. In this respect, you are ahead of them."

At this point, Zhu Yueyao glanced at the Moon God Flower, and seeing the Moon God composed of spiritual light nodded slightly, she continued, "Moreover, now that Sister Moon God has regained consciousness, she has been helping you draw the purest spiritual energy transformed by the Moon God Palace while you were practicing. You are the only one in the entire cultivation world who can enjoy this condition."

"I see. Sorry for the trouble."

Hearing this, Fang Chen quickly stood up and bowed to the Moon Goddess to express his gratitude.

"You don't have to do this. You have put a lot of effort into my and Sister Yueyao's revival. You should do this. Moreover, you have an important responsibility. We must improve your cultivation as soon as possible so that you can protect yourself in the next incident."

The Moon Goddess lifted up Fang Chen with a ball of spiritual light and told him not to be polite.

"No matter what, you two are of great significance to me and even the entire Yuehua Immortal City, so I should pay you a respect."

What Fang Chen said was not false. Without the Moon Goddess Flower, there would be no Immortal Palace and a series of other concepts. And without the Blood God Vine, when Dian Chu came to cause trouble, the entire Yuehua Immortal City would have been wiped out.

At this point, he remembered something and asked curiously, "Senior Moon God, could you tell me your name?"

Zhu Yueyao said before that this name was given to herself after her consciousness became stable.

However, after the Moon Goddess was resurrected, she was also called Yue Yao, which means that this was the original name of the Blood God. She was just being stubborn and wanted others to believe that she had little to do with the Blood God and just possessed the Blood God's memories.

I think Tianyu also knows her character. If he directly said that she was resurrected, Zhu Yueyao would definitely not show up, so he made up an excuse that they were not the same person.

If they were not the same person, there would be no need for the Heavenly Dao to go to the trouble of preserving the memories of both of them, and then inject them into the spiritual plants through Fang Chen's Tianyanxixi method.

"Me? Of course, my surname is Yue, and my given name is Yunni."

The Moon Goddess smiled and gave her name.

"Yue Yunni?"

Fang Chen then recited the full name of the Moon Goddess.

"It's my concubine."

The Moon Goddess also agreed immediately.

"Boom boom boom——"

Fang Chen was about to say something when there was a knock on the door. He looked towards the door and said, "Come in!"

Lin Qingshan and Tianyu walked in side by side.

Compared with Tianyu who looked calm, Lin Qingshan's excitement was beyond words. He walked in front of Fang Chen and danced and spoke incoherently.

"Is he possessed?"

Zhu Yueyao looked at Tianyu. Of course, she could see that there was nothing wrong with Lin Qingshan. He just wanted to know what they had done that made him so excited?
"We worked together to come up with a magic weapon, or a series of magic weapon designs. This is the first time he has seen something of this level, so it's normal for him to be a little excited."

Tianyu briefly introduced the situation.

"In other words, you have made a prototype of the Immortal Path Computer?"

Fang Chen instantly became alert.

In fact, when he saw the two people come in together, he knew that the matter had come to a conclusion, and asking this question was more like a confirmation.

"That's right, City Lord, please allow me to show you!"

After hearing Fang Chen's voice, Lin Qingshan calmed down a little, but his tone was still full of excitement.

After saying that, without waiting for Fang Chen's consent, he slapped his storage bag and took out a black rectangle.

After taking out this thing, Lin Qingshan stood there with a smug look on his face and didn't say anything. Fang Chen looked around the rectangle and observed it carefully for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about it.

He extended his spiritual consciousness, but it was bounced away by the surface of the rectangle.

This thing actually has defenses against spiritual consciousness.

Not to mention the spiritual thoughts of the Qigong cultivator, I think even the divine consciousness cannot easily detect his information.

"Isn't this just a stone?"

Zhu Yueyao had already noticed the difference in this black rectangle. Seeing that Fang Chen had not yet figured out the trick, she asked directly to break the silence and allow Lin Qingshan to clear up Fang Chen's confusion.

"Of course not, I tell you - that's not right, who are you?"

After hearing what Zhu Yueyao said, Lin Qingshan raised his chin. Just as he was about to show off, he noticed that there were two other people in the training field.

"You just noticed?"

Fang Chen was somewhat speechless. Both Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni were beauties picked out of a million. If their temperaments were matched, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were peerless in the world.

He was able to ignore it for so long.

A bit level.

"Sorry, sorry, all I can think about is the Xiandao computer. Are these two the city lord's friends?"

Lin Qingshan also realized that he was a bit rude just now, apologized to Zhu Yueyao and the others, and then asked Fang Chen.

"I guess so. In fact, you have met them before, Blood God Vine Zhu Yueyao, Moon Goddess Hua Yue Yunni."

Fang Chen introduced the two people one by one without mentioning anything related to the fairy world.

That was top secret, and he had also told Ye Qingyang not to reveal it to others easily.

"Two kinds of magical spiritual plants have actually transformed?"

What surprised Lin Qingshan about this news was not anything else but the fact that the two of them transformed immediately.

For the demons to transform, they must at least reach the Jindan stage. Some with noble bloodlines require a higher level.

For example, the dragon armor could not transform until the celestial immortal stage.

These two people don't look like they are in the Jindan stage at all.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Please introduce this Xiandao computer first."

Fang Chen changed the subject, mainly because he was really interested in it. "Okay, City Lord, please take a look."

As Lin Qingshan spoke, he turned the black rectangle upside down. The side that was originally at the bottom was as smooth as a mirror, like a screen.

He tapped the screen again and it lit up, just like turning on a computer.

At the same time, Fang Chen could feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth beginning to flow into it.

It seems that a lot of spiritual energy is needed to activate this thing.

After more than ten seconds, the speed at which this thing absorbed spiritual energy stabilized, and several application-like blocks appeared on the screen.

Fang Chen looked at Tianyu. This design must have been his work.

Tianyu also blinked, as if to say, "Don't you think it's interesting?"

"Under the guidance of Senior Tianyu, this immortal computer can currently perform several functions, one of which is calculation."

Lin Qingshan spoke at this time, and opened an application as he spoke.

And the screen when this app is opened looks very much like a calculator.

Fang Chen then continued to make eye contact with Tianyu.

Lin Qingshan was unaware of the exchange of glances between the two men. He demonstrated how to use this thing to perform four arithmetic operations, then looked up at Fang Chen and the other two.

To his disappointment, Fang Chen was not moved at all, and although Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni were very interested, they did not understand what he was doing.

He asked awkwardly, "Um, don't you have anything to say?"

"What are these strange symbols?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yueyao asked seriously.

Lin Qingshan then realized that these two people had just transformed and did not recognize lowercase numbers or the unique operation symbols of Yuehua Fairy City.

Therefore, the calculator that he thought was very powerful seemed incomprehensible to these two people.

Speaking of which, Tianyu had not received any education in Yuehua Fairy City, but he understood these symbols at a glance. He was also taught many other useful symbols and counting methods other than decimal.

So he briefly introduced the lowercase numbers and four arithmetic operations symbols invented by Xia Fengchen.

"I see. What's the point? This level of calculation is something a monk can do in his head."

After understanding the calculation rules, Zhu Yueyao didn't think this kind of calculation was useful.

Even if it is four arithmetic operations involving six-digit numbers, as long as you have a solid foundation, you can basically do mental arithmetic.

Moreover, in real life scenarios, where is the need for such large numbers to be calculated?
"You don't know that being able to calculate is really nothing, but the power of this thing is that it can automatically calculate. For example, the current contribution system of Yuehua Immortal City, how much contribution each person has received, and what they have exchanged for with their contributions, can all be calculated instantly..."

Seeing that his achievements were not taken seriously, Lin Qingshan immediately got angry and gave a detailed introduction.

Fang Chen nodded as he listened. According to him, the contribution system he had once envisioned was finally complete, and contributions could be regarded as a kind of electronic currency.

"In addition to computing, the communication function has also been greatly upgraded compared to the mother-child jade slips. Originally, one mother jade slip could only correspond to one child jade slip, but this immortal computer can be connected to 100,000 child jade slips, and allow the 100,000 child jade slips to communicate with each other. In addition to text, it can also transmit images and sounds, and even achieve real-time communication..."

After talking about the computing aspect, Lin Qingshan simply stopped keeping the audience in suspense and started talking about the changes in communications.

This finally made Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni show some shock.

Fang Chen was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked, "Is there a limit to the communication distance?"

This is basically the function of a mobile phone, and therefore, there are definitely some signal deficiencies.

"The city lord is really sharp-eyed. He immediately pointed out the problem with this communication capability."

Lin Qingshan complimented him admiringly, and then said: "For pure text communication, the distance is still the same as the original jade slips, but the transmission of sound and images is very limited. Communication to distant places requires special prohibitions as a medium."

"So if we want to achieve these two functions, we have to build signal towers that include this kind of prohibition at the same time."

Tianyu was also there to help Lin Qingshan with his supplements.

“Are cell towers expensive?”

Fang Chen immediately asked about the construction cost. If it was acceptable, it could be arranged now.

"It's not low, but we can add this kind of restriction to the Ziyu Jian as well, so that everyone can become a signal intermediary, and then build a few main signal towers to reduce the delay."

Tianyu also knew Fang Chen’s thoughts. He not only gave an answer, but also proposed a feasible solution.

"Okay, let's do it."

Fang Chen thought about it and felt that Tianyu’s solution was indeed very good, balancing the cost and user experience.

"I have a question. Since an immortal computer can only connect to 100,000 sub-jade slips, what should we do if there are more than 100,000 immortal monks?"

Yue Yunni, who had been silent, also raised a question.

She heard about Fang Chen's ideas from Zhu Yueyao. If things continued to develop in this way, it would only be a matter of time before the number of cultivators in the Immortal Dynasty would exceed 100,000.

She was happy to see this situation, but according to Lin Qingshan's description, Zi Yu Jian was an indispensable item in the Immortal Dynasty, so there would inevitably be a situation where there were not enough Zi Yu Jian.

"This is an easy solution. We can connect the immortal computers to each other and then refine another immortal computer."

Fang Chen instantly thought of the solution, which was to connect the Xiandao computer like the mother jade slip.

Increase the number of machines. This is also how large servers were built in the past.

"inappropriate."

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingshan shook his head and rejected Fang Chen's plan.

"what happened?"

Fang Chen was puzzled. This should be considered a perfect solution.

"The city lord's idea is indeed correct, but the more Xiandao computers there are, the more difficult it will be for us to defend against external attacks. Once a Xiandao computer is hacked, it will cause the entire system to collapse. Xiandao computers are the core of the future Xian Dynasty. If this happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Qingshan stated his reasons for opposition, and they were reasonable.

"So how do we solve this problem?"

Fang Chen glanced at Tianyu, who nodded slightly, so he continued to ask.

"It's very simple. This immortal computer can only connect to 100,000 jade slips because it is just a spiritual tool. If it reaches the level of a treasure tool, it can connect to millions of jade slips and become a magic weapon. It can even connect to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of jade slips. Therefore, we just need to improve the grade of the immortal computer."

Lin Qingshan paused, and continued: "In this way, we only need to focus on one Xiandao computer for protection, and the higher the grade of the Xiandao computer, the more difficult it is to break into, and the security will be greatly improved."

"Doesn't that mean we have to replace the Xiandao computer every once in a while? Wouldn't it be troublesome to migrate the data?"

Fang Chen generally felt that there was nothing wrong with this plan, but he also raised new concerns.

"No, we just need to make the Xiandao computer upgrade its grade as the Xian Dynasty develops."

Lin Qingshan turned his head to look at Tianyu, then answered.

This seemed a bit far-fetched to Fang Chen. He didn't know what to do, so he just asked directly: "How can this be done?"

Without waiting for Lin Qingshan or Tianyu to speak, Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni looked at each other, and the latter said, "It's actually very simple. Do you remember the way of luck we talked about before?"

 Today is the first update, 4,000 words, and there will be another update to come.
