Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 906

Year 9300 in the Blue Star Xia Calendar, Beiyuan Star

After Ming’an visited Blue Star several times, Lin Jiang also led a team to tour the various planets in the Tiannan Star Domain, in a sense serving as ambassadors.

First, they went to Lingfa Star, then Canglan Star, and next they arrived at Beiyuan Star. Lin Jiang also visited the technicians who stayed on Beiyuan Star; they were temporarily responsible for maintaining the cross-border teleportation array.

"Taoist Friend Lin, this teleportation array is great, but it breaks too easily. The parts often need repair or replacement. If there is no trade, the cost will be too high…"

Taoist Friend Xue complained from the side that maintaining a cross-border teleportation array is not easy. The costs are high, the parts wear out a lot, and they don’t have the raw materials for nuclear fusion. Since they communicate with other planets and don’t just have one teleportation array, they also need to transfer, and without trade profits, they really can’t maintain it.

"Taoist Friend Xue, you can’t say that. Staying in one place leads to downfall. A civilization can only grow through communication…"

Lin Jiang immediately tried to persuade Taoist Friend Xue with great reasoning. Of course, after speaking, he also provided them with some benefits, like speeding up the training of their technicians, which could save them many costs in the future. Blue Star also didn’t want to send too many people out; they just needed to control the parts well.

In a monopolized industry, you cannot monopolize everything; that would make people very jealous. You only need to control one or two key points. They won’t miss out on money and can still be the good guys.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Taoist Friend Xue smiled and talked with Lin Jiang about sending students from Blue Star. They had discussed this before, but it had not been put into action. Now, Taoist Friend Xue felt it was necessary to carry it out seriously.

Beiyuan Star not only built a cross-border teleportation array but also purchased a large number of various satellites from Blue Star, totaling over a hundred thousand, most of which are part of the global satellite system, with others including weather satellites and more.

"The global satellite system is a great tool for us to deal with evil cultivators. Although our ancestor is in charge of Beiyuan Star, we shouldn’t bother him with everything. In the past, after evil cultivators committed murders, they would hide in the mountains and forests, forcing us to send out many people to capture them, which was time-consuming and exhausting. But now it’s different; those evil cultivators have no idea about the global satellite system. They think they can run away after killing. Many have fallen here over the years…"

"Weather satellites are also very helpful. Ten years ago, a super typhoon hit the ocean near Beiyuan Star, and we named it Du Su Rui. In the past, such powerful typhoons would often lead to countless ordinary people and even low-level cultivators perishing, but after detecting the storm, we sent many skilled people to cast spells and reduce its strength. By the time it reached the mainland, the wind force was reduced to below level ten, bringing a lot of moisture without causing harm…"

"There are also remote sensing satellites that have measured the entire geographical environment of Beiyuan Star. Over the years, we have discovered many mineral resources…"

Taoist Friend Xue spoke highly of Blue Star’s technology, and her words suggested she wanted to continue to introduce more of Blue Star’s technology and achieve more technological results.

Lin Jiang had previously told Taoist Friend Xue that the development and application of technology would bring significant changes to their society, both good and bad, and he never hid this from them.

Beiyuan Star has no shortage of smart people; they understand this well, but they still cherish the benefits brought by technology. As for the negative impacts, they have only one way to deal with them: to avoid them as much as possible. For example, buying instead of making, and applying technology on a small scale, etc.

Lin Jiang was satisfied with their attitude. "It would be foolish not to profit from money, and since I’ve already informed you about the negative impacts, I won’t take responsibility if any problems arise in the future."

After being a guest in Beiyuan Star for more than three months and gaining a deeper understanding of the place, Lin Jiang and his team arrived at Zilan Star, where Jian Xing personally came to greet Lin Jiang. They also saw Zhu Bin in Zilan Star. Zhu Bin was resting there after leading a team to build the cross-border teleportation array for many years, with significant contributions.

"Ancestor Lin, I didn’t expect we would meet here on another planet."

When Zhu Bin and his friends saw Lin Jiang, they were very happy. This was a true reunion with an old friend in a foreign land. After being away from home for many years, it was not easy to meet some familiar faces.

"Zhu Bin, you have worked hard over the years."

"It’s alright, no matter where I am, I am treated as a guest. This is thanks to Blue Star. The stronger Blue Star gets, the better treatment we receive."

Zhu Bin said, recalling the time when he first arrived to build the teleportation array. Although people were polite, they still had a sense of superiority because Blue Star was weak at that time. There was only one immortal, and very few others reached Dao Achieving level or above.

However, as time passed and the people from Canglan Star came back and forth for trade, realizing that Blue Star was growing stronger, their attitude improved, and the sense of superiority faded away.

"As long as you’re not treated unfairly, how is the progress of the project?"

"Currently, the teleportation arrays between Lingfa Star, Lingkong Star, Canglan Star, Beiyuan Star, and Zilan Star are all completed. Next, we will build the teleportation array between Zilan Star and Nanfeng Star. Also, they feel that a single-line teleportation array is not very stable, so they want to build multiple lines. I have already given this task to my disciples."

Zhu Bin said he had taken in many disciples. A few of them had learned a lot from him and were already able to build teleportation arrays independently.

"Have you seen the new strategic plan of Canglan Star Ming’an and Blue Star?"

"I have seen it. There are six major Star Domains under the Heavenly Court, and our Tiannan Star Domain is still quite weak. If we really want to connect the six Star Domains, the size of this project is just too large. I estimate it will take two to three thousand years to finish."

"Yes, that’s why we need multiple teams to work at the same time. You should train a few more successors."

"This is not a big problem, but transporting everything from Blue Star is not very realistic. We still need some bases on other planets."

"This is also one of my tasks during this visit. I will negotiate with Jian Xing to rent a piece of land on Zilan Star and acquire various raw materials there. We can make money together."

Lin Jiang said that the core components of the cross-border teleportation array need a high-level Talisman Maker to create. However, Blue Star cannot find a replacement for Lin Jiang. They can find one on other planets and then bring the nuclear fusion factory to Zilan Star, so we won’t need to transport it from Blue Star. Blue Star needs to set up many of these alien bases.

After talking with Zhu Bin, Lin Jiang discussed the establishment of an alien base with Jian Xing. This base is not free; it requires a lot of money to rent the land and promises to create a large amount of taxes for Zilan Star. As long as Zilan Star’s strength does not weaken, they will never have the chance to dominate. For now, this is all benefits with no harm to Zilan Star, so Jian Xing did not make it too difficult and agreed.

He had no choice but to agree. If not, they could just rent land somewhere else. It would be foolish to give benefits away to others, and Jian Xing is not foolish.

Of course, the most important thing is that they witnessed the power of technology and understood how frightening Blue Star’s strength has grown in these last few hundred years. In just a few hundred years, they have added so many experts. Although they are not as strong as them yet, they are strong enough for Zilan Star to view Blue Star equally.

Two months later, Jian Xing personally accompanied Lin Jiang and his group to Nanfeng Star. Nanfeng Star and Zilan Star are the same realm, but their cultivators are not very familiar with each other. After all, before the successful construction of the interrealm teleportation array, they had little communication, only every few hundred years.

By informing each other in advance, Lin Jiang and his group were not seen as invading enemies, and many high-ranking officials from Nanfeng Star also came out to welcome them personally.

Lin Jiang was generous and presented a large gift as soon as they met. It’s said that a person should not strike someone who is smiling, so their communication was very harmonious.

Nanfeng Star does not have those satellites from Blue Star, but there are still many technological products. These were resold by the people from Zilan Star, who had been to Blue Star and Lingjing Star several times to buy a large number of special products, some of which were resold to Nanfeng Star.

They say that rare items are precious. These things are like daily necessities on Blue Star, but they sell for a high price here. For example, flying devices from Blue Star are especially popular in Nanfeng Star. Compared to traditional flying boats, flying devices have significant advantages.

Lin Jiang had wanted to promote things like satellite positioning systems and cosmic remote defense systems, but they were not interested, so he said no more. Anyway, once the interrealm teleportation array is completed and communication becomes easier, they will see the benefits of these things and will come to him.

In the Tiannan Star Domain, there is only one place like this; they can only buy from Lin Jiang.

As they traveled and explored various planets in the universe, Lin Jiang felt deeply that this universe is truly vast.
