Chapter 488 Industrial Transformation, On-site Guidance
Zheng Fa put down the document in his hand, thought for a while, and then nodded slowly: "This is feasible."

He looked at Teacher Tian who was sitting beside him and said, "Then the matter of going to the major spiritual veins and opening up medicinal fields will be left to you, Teacher."

"It's been prepared a long time ago. We've also produced quite a few of the small devices designed by Xiao Lingwu and the others." Teacher Tian replied, and then added, "It's just that... we're still short of people."

There is indeed a shortage of people.

There are less than 1,200 people in the nursing home in total, most of whom are top scholars in the country or even the world. To ask them to farm everywhere... is really a waste of resources.

To be honest, the Confederation and the like are not important to Zheng Fa, but the model of the nursing home has to be changed.

"Team Leader Yang," he said to Team Leader Yang, "I want to split and expand the nursing home."

"Dean, you say."

"The first is the agricultural group, and even the pharmacy group." Zheng Fa said as he sorted out his thoughts, "Nowadays, spiritual medicine cultivation is the primary task of the nursing home, and the agricultural group must expand its enrollment."

Team Leader Yang understood immediately: "Graduate entrance examination?"

"Yes, we can start preparing for the nursing home's first recruitment of graduate students."

Upon hearing this, Team Leader Yang thought for a moment and then said cautiously, "Only for domestic use?"

Zheng Fa glanced at her and saw through her little thoughts. Team Leader Yang was obviously not an internationalist cultivator. When she saw the opportunity, she wanted to gain some benefits for the country.

It's nothing.

“Let’s try it out in the country first.”

After all, this is the first postgraduate entrance examination, and Zheng Fa also feels that he can first see the results. The main thing is how to select talents suitable for nursing homes, which may still need to be explored - after all, there are some differences between cultivation and academics.

Team leader Yang stood up, looking relieved: "In this way, I have given some explanation to the others."

It can be seen that she really took on a lot of pressure regarding the Confederation.

The old man was concerned about another thing: "Splitting? Then the agricultural team will have to go somewhere else? What about Xiaotian?"

Teacher Tian felt very embarrassed when he heard this, and quickly reached out his hand and patted the old man, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

Zheng Fa glanced at the old couple and knew that the old man was worried about the separation, so he explained:
"Many spiritual medicines may need different environments to grow. For example, the spiritual orchid that is suitable for growing in Hongshan may not grow in other places."

"I'm thinking of splitting up some research departments and reorganizing the agricultural group into an agricultural institute. In the future, we can set up project teams wherever spiritual herbs are grown."

Teacher Tian put away the smile on his face and agreed seriously, "That's right. Didn't I work in other places for twenty years?"

"We weren't married back then."

"Grandpa Bai, I'll take you there later!" Tang Lingwu quickly advised, "I can fly fast."

"Teacher Tian doesn't have to go out of town." Zheng Fa suddenly said.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zheng Fa, and heard Zheng Fa say: "I want to establish branches in various places according to local conditions, but Hongshan is still the headquarters of the institute."

Zheng Fa’s idea is very simple.

Establish branches in every spiritual vein.

There are spiritual veins in the mountains, so you can try growing spiritual herbs.

If you have spiritual veins in the water, try aquaculture.

If spiritual material ore is generated, it will be smelted and studied locally.

But he has run Hongshan for the longest time, so it is impossible for him to give up.

Team leader Yang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I've thought about this too. It would be best if Hongshan could become the headquarters of the Confederation Research Institute in the future."

"Hongshan will be the research center, education headquarters, and business center in the future." Zheng Fachao explained to the others, "Since we need to recruit people, Hongshan is only so big that it will not be enough in the future. Splitting it up is inevitable."

When everyone heard this, they also felt that this made sense.

"Then... Oda?"

"As the leader of the Agricultural Institute, Mr. Tian may be a little busy recently, but he will probably spend most of his time in Hongshan, coordinating various matters of the Agricultural Institute."

This was something Zheng Fa had thought of long ago. The identities of Teacher Tian and others would probably be more like managers in the future.

The old man nodded after listening, seeming to be convinced.

Zheng Fa smiled again and said, "What's more, Mr. Bai, if you are also a golden elixir, wouldn't it be convenient for you to go back and forth?"

The old man's face darkened. He looked at Zheng Fa and muttered softly, "I'm not a golden elixir. Is it because I don't want to?"

"So, isn't it because of you that Teacher Tian went to other places to cultivate spiritual medicine?"

When the old man heard this, he looked expectant and a little nervous:
Now Zheng Fa can almost be said to have activated the spiritual veins of the whole world.

If we can no longer cultivate spiritual medicines that are useful for the transformation of spiritual roots, it means that the environment for this does not exist in the modern world.

……

Zheng Fa is preparing to recruit people in the modern world, and there are also people in the Jiushan Realm who are doing "recruitment" for him.

In the side courtyard where Shi Nandang lived, Sect Master Chongxuan came uninvited. The two of them sat in the study, holding tea in their hands, and were silent for a long time.

After a long while, Sect Leader Chongxuan said softly, "My Lord, this spiritual tea is one of the best in the Nine Mountains. The leader has really treated us well."

Shi Nandang lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup. He did not refute. After a long while, he spoke calmly:

"You, the leader of the alliance, are quite smooth-talking. Why do you treat a prisoner like me as an immortal?"

"You are a god incarnate, Immortal." Sect Master Zhongxuan said hurriedly, "Moreover, I don't believe that you can't see what the leader means."

Of course you can see it.

Zheng Fa placed him here because, on the one hand, he naturally didn't want him to come into contact with Haori Mountain and expose the secrets of the Nine Mountains Realm.

On the other hand, he probably also has the idea of ​​conquering me and making me work for him.

In fact, everyone in the Chongxuan Sect knew this very well.

"Sir." The head of Chongxuan Sect advised, "I see that the leader is eager to recruit talented people. He is willing to employ those Qi training disciples of my Chongxuan Sect, not to mention you, Sir..."

Shi Nandang suddenly raised his head and interrupted him: "I am the incarnation of Haori Mountain. I am only one step away from becoming a direct descendant of the Lu clan. I am more useful, right?"

The head of Chongxuan Sect nodded and said, "That's right. I'm afraid that in the eyes of Alliance Leader Zheng, ten Chongxuan Sects combined are no match for you, the Immortal."

Shi Nandang couldn't help feeling a little proud after hearing this. He didn't think that Sect Leader Chongxuan was flattering him.

Not to mention the issue of cultivation, he now knows that although the Jiushan Sect has few Divine Transformations, it does not lack them.

But he has more than just cultivation. Haori Mountain is the number one sect of Xuanwei weapon refining, and there are countless secret magical instruments among them.

Just like what the head of the Chongxuan Sect in front of him said, in terms of accumulation in refining equipment, ten Chongxuan Sects combined might not be as good as him.

His heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Did Zheng Fa ask you to say this?"

Sect Leader Chongxuan opened his mouth, looking embarrassed.

...thinking too much.

Shi Nandang blushed slightly and snorted, "I didn't know you were so devoted to Jiushan."

The head of Chongxuan Sect sighed and said sincerely: "My Lord, I really feel sorry for my fellow man. We are prisoners together. How can we survive if we don't stick together and take care of each other?"

“Sir, forgive me for being blunt, but the speed at which the Nine Mountains Sect’s disciples cultivate has far exceeded our expectations. Your current level of Spiritualization cultivation can still rank high in the Nine Mountains Realm, but what if in the future…”

Shi Nandang listened to this, pursed his lips, and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he was silent, Sect Leader Zhongxuan seemed anxious: "Last time I saw you, Immortal, you clearly..."

Shi Nandang's face darkened slightly. He glanced at him and shook his head slowly, saying, "As a disciple of Haori Mountain, I am different from you."

"How different?"

"I practice the fundamental Dharma of Hao Ri Mountain, the Red Sky Jade Book..."

The head of Chongxuan Sect was stunned. He didn't expect Shi Nandang to be worried about this. "Shangxian, didn't the leader of the alliance back then also practice the "Chixiao Jade Book"? "

"..."

Shi Nandang's expression was shocked, and then he heard the head of Chongxuan say: "I heard from Madam Xuanhua that the leader has the ability to change the foundation of others."

After hearing this, Shi Nandang opened his eyes wide and looked at Sect Leader Chongxuan.

The head of Chongxuan nodded deeply, and hurriedly advised: "Shangxian, think about it, now that the leader has killed Luo Sanxian, Haori Mountain dare not retaliate."

"The Supreme Dao even took the initiative to come to us to form an alliance."

"If you want to leave the Nine Mountains Realm in the future... I'm afraid it will be a long time before you can escape."

Shi Nandang's expression became more and more upset.

"And the leader obviously still has room for you. We may be able to make some achievements in the Nine Mountains Realm in the future."

It can be seen that Master Chongxuan really wants to persuade Shi Nandang.

Shi Nandang knew that the leader of Chongxuan Sect wanted to gain merit by convincing him.

On the other hand, as he himself said... after all, the two of them have a special relationship, and they can help each other in the future in Jiushan Sect.

He hesitated, and finally said what he was most worried about: "What you said makes some sense, but Zheng Fa is using me not just for the weapon refining method, I'm afraid it's for my identity in Haori Mountain..."

Sect Leader Chongxuan was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and suddenly realized: "In the dark?"

Shi Nandang nodded silently.

Now, Sect Leader Chongxuan also felt that the situation was a bit tricky: "This matter is indeed dangerous..."

Shi Nandang's expression was also somewhat bitter.

He was hesitant that day whether to surrender to Zheng Fa, but after going back and thinking about it, he finally figured it out.

Zheng Fa relied on this trick to take the Xianjian Sword. If he were to do it again, what could he take away from Haori Mountain... Shi Nandang didn't even dare to imagine it.

Now Hao Ri Mountain and Jiu Shan Sect are in a state of conflict. As Zheng Fa, he would also have this idea.

Now, if he didn't surrender, he would never be able to leave the Nine Mountains Realm. But if Zheng Fa asked him to return to Haori Mountain as a dark agent... that would be a life-or-death situation, how could Shi Nandang not hesitate?
It would be better for him to stay in Jiushan Realm and live a miserable life until Zheng Fa really wants to kill him.

Sect Master Chongxuan also knew that this matter was really difficult to decide, so he had to stand up and said, "My Lord, there is something I must say."

"Ok?"

"Sir, you think you are from the Lu clan..." Sect Leader Zhongxuan paused, his tone quite meaningful, "but your last name is Shi."

Without waiting for his answer, Sect Leader Chongxuan bowed and left, leaving Shi Nandang sitting on the chair, speechless for a long time.

……

Two days later, Sect Leader Chongxuan came in a hurry again.

"My Lord, the leader said that he wanted to upgrade and renovate all the factories in the Jiushan Realm." He said to Shi Nandang hurriedly, "The Tiangong Pavilion has been working on technical research these days."

“It is said that if there is a breakthrough, you can get good merits. Even my disciples of Chongxuan Sect can participate.”

"Even after you have made contributions, you can be promoted."

Shi Nandang also became interested after hearing this.

He was born in Haori Mountain, and his attainments in refining equipment are actually higher than those of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, otherwise he would not have been sent by Haori Mountain to take charge of the Great Array of Gods and Demons of Heaven and Earth.

"Technical breakthrough?"

"Oh, it means that we are all invited to jointly improve a weapon refining technique and show our strengths." Sect Leader Zhongxuan explained, and then said, "I think the leader is a person who loves talents. If you have made great contributions, the leader may cherish your talents... Think about it, the two gods of the Great Freedom Demon Sect are now living well in the Nine Mountains Realm."

Shi Nandang stood up, his expression showing some excitement.

Yup!

If he became a master of weapon refining in the Nine Mountains Realm, Zheng Fa might not want to let him go back to Haori Mountain to risk his life?

If you can sell technology, who would be willing to sell their life?

Shi Nandang paced back and forth in the room, becoming more and more excited the more he thought about it.

"Or, Immortal, you go find the leader..."

"No..." Shi Nandang suddenly stopped, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Wait a minute."

"wait?"

"The art of refining weapons is profound and extensive." Shi Nandang said softly, "Why not wait for Jiushan Sect to explore on their own? It would be best if they encounter some difficulties. Then I will go find Zheng Fa. This way, I can better demonstrate my value!"

……

Shi Nandang remained silent for two months, but Sect Leader Chongxuan never came again.

He asked around among the disciples of Chongxuan in the courtyard and learned that the Tiangong Pavilion was very busy and Chongxuan was too busy to deal with all the people there, so naturally they had no time to look for him.

Shi Nandang guessed that the technical transformation of Tiangong Pavilion was not going smoothly, so he waited for another two months before he packed his clothes and headed straight for Zheng Fa's residence.

Zheng Fa was talking to Senior Sister Zhang in the yard. When she saw him coming, she looked at him curiously.

"Alliance Master Zheng, I heard that Tiangong Pavilion is in need of cultivators who can refine weapons." Shi Nandang bowed, "I have been studying the art of refining weapons in Haori Mountain for tens of thousands of years. I think I have some experience and would like to lend a helping hand to the Alliance Master."

He slightly emphasized the three words "Haori Mountain".

Zheng Fa looked at him for a long time, then exchanged a glance with Senior Sister Zhang, then stood up and said to Shi Nandang, "Hao Ri Mountain's weapon refining skills are unrivaled in the world. I have heard about this for a long time. It would be great if you are willing to help."

Shi Nandang felt more and more delighted. It was obvious that Zheng Fa really valued the weapon refining methods of Haori Mountain.

There is also a lot of expectation for the technology in the hands of this god.

Zheng Fa seemed to have thought of something.

"It just so happens that Madam Xuanhua just sent a message saying that the Flying Sword Factory has been renovated recently. Why don't I take you to have a look?"

Stone is difficult to handle, but nothing is impossible.

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang were in front, Shi Nandang took half a step back, and they walked towards Gongkai Island together.

Along the way, Zheng Fa was still introducing: "Now this flying sword factory is to manufacture the first generation of Jiushan standard flying sword - Lingxiao Sword."

"Standard flying sword?" This term sounded unfamiliar to Shi Nandang, and he couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean?"

Zheng Fa explained: "It's mainly because my Jiushan Sect's weapon refining method is somewhat special and more suitable for producing standardized flying swords."

The more Shi Nandang listened, the more he became confused, and the confidence in his heart diminished a lot.

"This Lingxiao Sword is best at flying. A cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can fly as fast as a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. If it is a life-or-death struggle, in a short period of time, the speed can even be comparable to that of a slightly weaker Jindan."

Shi Nandang was shocked when he heard this. This flying speed was already at the top level of a flying magic weapon.

Then I heard Zheng Fa say: "In terms of attack power, it is a little lacking. It can probably only allow a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building to exert the strength of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building."

"This is also very powerful..." Shi Nandang felt uneasy, thinking that the Lingxiao Sword sounded like at least a top-grade magical weapon.

Those Jindan disciples of Haori Mountain who come to refine magical flying swords are probably only at this level.

But thinking about it, he comforted himself:
After all, Xie Qingxue is in the Nine Mountains Realm.

As everyone knows, Tianhe Sect's technology in refining flying swords is slightly better than Haori Mountain's.

This Lingxiao Sword is so outstanding, I'm afraid it must have obtained the secret method of the Tianhe School...

……

Even if he was beaten to death, he still didn't believe that the Tianhe Sect had such a secret method of refining weapons!

There is a row of machine tools in the Feijian factory.

Next to the machine tool, there is an operating table at regular intervals.

There is a monk next to the operating table.

Sect Leader Chongxuan was there, and when he saw Shi Nandang, there was some surprise in his eyes.

Shi Nandang's eyes were only on the machine tool, feeling puzzled.

"Master."

Madam Xuanhua was also in the factory. When she saw Zheng Fa coming, she said, "The Lingxiao Sword production line has been debugged."

Shi Nandang took a look at Madam Xuanhua and knew that she was the head of Tiangong Pavilion, the weapon-refining master that Zheng Fa relied on the most.

However, in his opinion, Madam Xuanhua was just a self-taught person, and she was probably not as good as several Yuanying masters in the Chongxuan Sect, let alone himself.

Shi Nandang turned around and looked at the machine tools again, becoming more and more focused, thinking that this was the time for him to show his skills.

Even if he embarrassed Madam Xuanhua later, he would still find some faults to show off his own weapon-refining skills.

Zheng Fa nodded to Madam Xuanhua.

Madam Xuanhua understood and waved to the monks on the production line.

I saw a Jindan disciple pressing on an iron can-shaped container, and blue spiritual fire suddenly spurted out of it.

Then the disciple pressed another place, and several kinds of spiritual minerals floated up and slowly fell into the iron can.

Shi Nandang frowned, looking confused.

Naturally, he could vaguely feel that every time the disciple pressed the button, there would be some spiritual fluctuations in the air, as if someone was casting a spell.

What he didn't understand was... why did this spell appear to have spontaneously appeared from this rather strange iron can?
Shi Nandang even forgot to show off his skills for a moment.

He stared at the production line, watching the ore turn into hot liquid in the iron tank and flow to the next monk.

The other monk just pressed a button on the platform and inexplicably produced a magic spell.

In less than two hours, the molten iron solidified and turned into a sword blank. After going through processes such as hammering and quenching, a brand new magical flying sword appeared at the end of the production line.

Madam Xuanhua stretched out her hand, took the Lingxiao Sword into her palm, handed it to Zheng Fa and said, "Master."

Zheng Fa carefully examined the Ling Xiao Sword and asked, "How many cultivators are needed for this production line? What are their cultivation levels?"

"This is a trial run, so I found some cultivators with higher cultivation to avoid any accidents." Madam Xuanhua explained, "If it is a formal production, only three foundation-building disciples will be needed, along with fourteen Qi-training disciples."

When Shi Nandang heard this, he looked sharply towards the Lingxiao Sword, then turned his eyes to look at the production line, and finally he understood - these were all magic weapons!

Can you still refine weapons like this?

He was very excited, and heard Zheng Fa ask again:
"Where's the yield?"

"The previous calculations are roughly accurate." Madam Xuanhua said, "If there are enough spiritual materials and the production line does not stop, we can produce about fifteen Lingxiao swords a day."

Shi Nandang felt his mind was in a mess.

He is really not bragging, but he has quite some accomplishments in refining equipment. Even in Haori Mountain, he is considered to have superb skills.

Only in this way could he better understand what Madam Xuanhua's words meant:
Three foundation-building disciples and a dozen Qi-training disciples can create fifteen top-level magical flying swords in one day...

If it were in Haori Mountain, a Jindan disciple might be able to practice one or two flying swords of the same level in a day.

A foundation-building disciple might not be able to produce one in a month.

Anyway, when he was building his foundation, he didn't have this ability...

"The man on the stone? The man on the stone?"

Shi Nandang felt as if there were raging waves in his heart. In a trance, he heard someone calling him.

When he came to his senses, he saw Zheng Fa looking at him, asking for advice: "I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Shi Nandang looked at Zheng Fa deeply, then turned to look at Madam Xuanhua.

For the sake of his life, he racked his brains desperately, but he had to admit that if he continued to study in Haori Mountain for tens of thousands of years, he would learn all the secret techniques of Haori Mountain and become the best weapon refiner in Haori Mountain...

I can't give any advice at this moment.
