Once, Lu Xuanji thought of using mobile phones as a foundation to conduct big data operations and start the era of cultivation industry.
But after just a mont of calculation, he gave up.
To establish a big industry, a vast market is needed, free circulation of goods, and protection of private property.
But in the Cultivation World, it’s simply impossible.
Firstly, many cultivation clans are in a self-sufficient state. Spirit Rice, elixirs, Spirit dicines, Spiritual Artifacts, etc., can all be produced and sold by themselves, not requiring an external market at all.
The things they buy from outside are mostly high-level elixirs or high-level Spiritual Artifacts, but in small quantities and small trade scale.
The developnt of cultivation industry lacks a market.
Secondly, in the wilds, there are demon beasts, loose cultivators, demon cultivators, etc., creating isolation, and incidents of killing and pillaging treasures happen frequently, making it impossible for goods to circulate freely. Even though many sects forbid killing and pillaging, it still happens frequently.
Once in the wilds, it becos a lawless area, with endless slaughter.
Lastly, in the Cultivation Realm, strength is supre, and slaughter is endless. For so benefits, cultivation clans keep fighting; for so spiritual ores, spirit veins, etc., cultivation sects often engage in large battles.
In the Cultivation Realm, there’s no concept of protecting private property.
The strong robbing the weak of their treasures happens frequently.
There’s a saying in the Cultivation Realm: the amount of Spirit Stones one has doesn’t matter; what matters is whether you have the strength to protect your Spirit Stones.
After the fall of the Purple Mansion ancestor, the Lu Family decisively divided so mines, marketplaces, spirit veins, etc., to so cultivation clans, exchanging interests for peace.
If the Lu Family lacks strength but occupies a large number of marketplaces, mining veins, etc., even if so families fear the rules of the Dan Yang Sect and dare not take action, there will still be loose cultivators, or bandits, or demon cultivators coming to attack, at that point, the Lu Family is really at risk of annihilation.
Likewise, if he develops the cultivation industry, inventing so machinery to increase alchemy efficiency, artifact refining efficiency, reduce costs, etc., this might bring so benefits to the Lu Family.
But it will more likely bring a catastrophic disaster to the Lu Family.
If a Purple Mansion bigwig wanted to acquire this set of equipnt from the Lu Family, would they sell it or not?
The advantage of a big industry is high efficiency and high profit.
Many capitalists develop industries mainly for pursuing profit.
But in this world, many cultivation clans and sects mainly operate a planned economy, self-sufficient economy, prioritizing safety, with efficiency and profit as secondary.
In such an era, developing a cultivation industry is unnecessary and lacks market demand and environnt.
Of course, developing a big cultivation industry isn’t entirely impossible either.
If he beca the leader of a realm and could unify the strength of the whole world, then big industry could be developed.
For now, he is rely a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. If he wants to develop big industry, with good luck his enterprise might be acquired; with bad luck, he might offend a major power’s interests and be crushed by so bigwig.
Even in the future, if he beca the leader of a realm, he still wouldn’t plan on developing big industry.
Because fundantally, big industry is about unifying human resources, turning people into re cogs.
In the Cultivation World, building a capitalist society, a society of exploitation, constantly squeezing humans to beco slaves to money, revolving everything around money, becoming like Grandet, even if one lives ten thousand years, what does it an?
In such an environnt, one lives very oppressed, very tired and tired.
The reason for cultivating immortality is for freedom and to live forever.
In the end, after cultivating immortality, if one makes themselves very tired and oppressed, such a long life is really aningless.
The Cultivation Realm mainly has a slow pace, slow and orderly.
Those cultivators with poor talent give up advancing to a higher realm and mainly enjoy life, living very relaxed. Those with good talent advance easily, enhancing their cultivation with ease, and live freely.
Most cultivators live freely.
Those who live tired are mainly those with poor talent but don’t give up the Great Dao.
For example, Five Spirit Roots talent is poor, but if they still want to reach Foundation Establishnt, they have to go around hunting demon beasts, or killing and taking treasures, or refining elixirs to sell money, or go around seeking fortuitous encounters because they don’t give up and thus feel very tired.
For example, so cultivators have limited talent and can’t beco Purple Mansion Cultivators, yet they don’t give up, chasing that one-in-a-million chance, and naturally live very tired and tired.
But if the industrial age were to begin, everyone would live tired.
Thinking about the inner turmoil of the previous life’s scenes, where everyone lived tiredly, Lu Xuanji decisively gave up the idea of developing big industry, and decided not to harm the cultivators in the Cultivation World.
...
"Ancestor, this is temporarily loaned to you!"
In the living room, Lu Xuanji once again saw the Grand Elder.
Three years ago, the Grand Elder broke through the checkpoint, becoming a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt; after three years of grinding and accumulation, there is already a possibility of impacting the Purple Mansion stage.
Taking out the Heaven nding Cauldron, he explained its specific functions.
"Heaven nding Cauldron, is it from Elder Jin?"
The Grand Elder asked.
Only Elder Jin could have such a miraculous furnace.
"Indeed!"
Seeing the Grand Elder’s misunderstanding, Lu Xuanji nodded, not planning to explain, and directly said, "This cauldron can replace the Pure Yang Pill and purify True Essence. Just use it secretly, don’t spread it around."
"Of course, I’ll keep it to myself."
The Grand Elder said excitedly, seemingly finding it hard to believe.
"How much does it cost to rent the Heaven nding Cauldron?"
"Five thousand Spirit Stones!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Elder Jin treats you well. If not for your parents still being alive, I would think you are Elder Jin’s illegitimate child, his biological son at least." The Grand Elder said, feeling a little emotional.
Renting the Heaven nding Cauldron for five thousand Spirit Stones is almost like giving it away for free.
Lu Xuanji was speechless, but these matters couldn’t be explained clearly.
"I’m going into closed cultivation!"
The Grand Elder said.
He disappeared, retreating into his Cave Mansion for closed cultivation.
He is already one hundred eighty years old, with little life left, not having the ans to grind ti and refine True Essence.
Using the Heaven nding Cauldron shortens the ti for refining True Essence.
...
Lu Xuanji returned to his Cave Mansion for closed cultivation, refining Spirit Stones, and improving his cultivation.
Three years later.
Lu Xuanji’s aura underwent changes, already stepping into the Third Layer of Foundation Establishnt.
He stepped out of the Cave Mansion with a joyful mood.
Soon, he t Ye Feixue.
Ye Feixue’s aura was obscure, indescribably ethereal.
"What realm are you in?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"Recently, I just stepped into the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishnt." Ye Feixue said casually.
This tone was as if she had just eaten a piece of cake in the evening, very casual.
"Foundation Establishnt Eighth Layer... too fast!"
Lu Xuanji clutched his heart, feeling as though his heart had taken a beating.
This was a scene where a diocre student was struck by a top student.
...
PS: Seeing so readers suggesting that the protagonist should develop the cultivation industry, I feel it’s impossible, very difficult. Here, to those reading, I ask for a check-in, write 1 in the comnts section.
