Hermit in the Mountains

Gu Changsheng probed the interior space of the Withering and Flourishing Pearl with his divine sense and found that the quality of the pearl had undergone another transformation, and the mustard seed space had expanded tenfold.

The twenty-seven strands of innate, indestructible spiritual energy stored inside the pearl increased in size fivefold.

He examined all the spiritual treasure embryos one by one, and each spiritual treasure had basically completed a transformation.

These magical treasures have surpassed the level of magical artifacts, entering a completely new stage of power.

The innate, indestructible spiritual energy sealed within each of the spiritual treasures has increased threefold.

With a thought, Gu Changsheng saw the token on the jade platform to his right fly towards him and hover in front of him.

He sent a wisp of his divine sense into it, and in an instant, a stream of information flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The virtual space coverage area of ​​the Ku Rong Bao Order has increased dramatically to a radius of 10,000 kilometers;

This coverage area is roughly enough to encompass the expanded territory of China.

The industrial civilization collapsed, and cities were separated from each other by mountains and rivers.

The time he'd been waiting for had arrived.

It seems that the previous "Nine Dragons Battle" plan can now be implemented.

The Heavenly Dao has a list of deities;

The tunnel contains the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls;

Now you can try to refine a supreme treasure of humanity.

After several months of development and improvement, the Lingwang function can basically meet the needs of cultivators to access the Internet, and can replace the Internet in the technological age.

The old order collapsed, and a new era dawned.

A new order will also emerge in the cultivation world.

The Spirit Network has become a communication platform for cultivators, and it has been developed into a unique public platform.

Master the rules, and make the rules.

The Spirit Network can launch a virtual currency system adapted to the cultivation world, linked to physical spiritual currency.

What Gu Changsheng regrets is that the instant teleportation ability of the Spirit Network is not yet universal.

Each activation of the instant teleportation ability requires the consumption of spiritual power and spatial power, making it too costly.

After a moment of contemplation, he decided that a function to recharge spirit stones at any time could be temporarily launched, with the recharge cost to be paid separately by the user.

Whether or not to use this feature is entirely up to the user.

The only advantage of this feature is that you can access spirit stones at any time as long as you are within the coverage area of ​​the spirit network.

Its main features are convenience, speed, flexibility, and security.

After all, a Lingwang account is unique and is verified using the soul's energy.

After being possessed, the body is simply replaced, and the person still cannot use the account of the person whose body was possessed.

He also considered a combined online and offline model, charging management fees, but without allowing for flexible top-ups;

The offline recharge stores will be handed over to Wanshouge, creating a bank for the cultivation world.

Gu Changsheng suddenly thought of a bold model: it seems that physical banks could adopt a franchisee model.

Wanshouge only conducts headquarters audits, collects franchise fees, and customizes rules, essentially collecting money without any effort on its part.

Avoid expanding too much, which can lead to bloated staff and systems, and ultimately backfire.

Many forces will likely be eager to join, since a spirit stone distribution organization can generate a lot of added value.

The management fee and franchise fee for spirit stones can actually be waived. What Gu Changsheng needs is the overflowing soul power from the vast number of cultivation users when they use the spirit network.

The overflowing soul power of cultivators can be considered the sustenance for the evolution of the Spirit Network;

It can also be purified and concentrated into pure soul liquid;

Soul liquid can enhance a cultivator's soul power and is a rare and precious natural treasure.

When the spiritual network reaches a certain size and has a positive impact on the cultivation world of Blue Star, the merit bestowed by Heaven will be Gu Changsheng's true goal.

He wants to seize the opportunity now and plan a great deal of merit.

When gods, demons, immortals, Buddhas, and those with great supernatural powers descend in the future, as long as he has enough merit, no one will be able to harm him.

The Spirit Network can be opened to the public, but the virtual space can only be used by internal disciples.

With this in mind, Gu Changsheng summoned Zhang Yuanfu in the virtual space, explained his ideas one by one, and asked the other party to implement and execute them.

He also renamed the internal virtual space.

—Daojie—

In the future, when the Spirit Network evolves into a virtual space, it can be named the "Spirit Realm".

In the Dao Realm, within the Hall of Longevity.

Finally, Gu Changsheng gave the Spirit Network development team a perk: "Yuanfu, notify the Spirit Network development team you secretly formed to move to a place near the foot of the mountain."

"You yourselves shall build a secular dwelling near the foot of the mountain as a place to handle secular affairs."

"In addition to the features I've mentioned, you can add the relevant features yourselves."

"But remember one ironclad rule: all functions must serve the monks; don't create the complicated things that are common in the internet world."

"The monetary system should also be simple, only handling deposit and withdrawal transactions."

"We don't issue currency; we only set standards and rules and charge fees."

"The amount of spirit stones a user deposits determines the amount of spirit stones and virtual spirit coins in the treasury."

"Yes, teacher," Zhang Yuanfu replied solemnly, bowing with his hands clasped.

Zhang Yuanfu's attitude was very good, and Gu Changsheng was very satisfied. The other party had always strictly followed his requirements and had not made any major mistakes.

"You should focus your attention on the Spirit Network, and you can choose a new leader for the Longevity Pavilion yourself."

"You don't need to worry too much about the quality of your Dao seed; it will be resolved when the time is right."

Zhang Yuanfu understood the implication: as long as he improved the spiritual network, his cultivation aptitude would be enhanced.

Although the Dao Realm is a virtual space, he still performed the proper etiquette.

His illusory figure knelt on both knees, kowtowing and expressing gratitude, "Disciple kowtows to thank Master for his grace!!!"

"Get up!" Gu Changsheng reminded him one last time. "Don't neglect your daily studies. These studies are for cultivating your character and your heart for seeking the Dao."

"Your disciple will remember your teachings, Master!" Zhang Yuanfu bowed again.

"Go on with your work!" Gu Changsheng left these words and his illusory figure disappeared from the Dao Realm's Hall of Longevity.

"Respectfully seeing off Master!" Zhang Yuanfu bowed with his hands clasped, and only withdrew from the Dao Realm after Gu Changsheng's illusory figure disappeared.

The cycle of life and death is divided into three concentric circles.

The first layer is covered by peach and plum blossom forests, which together form the base of the Kuru Mountain.

The area is 8,000 meters above sea level, forming a yin-yang balance, with two groves of trees forming a yin-yang array;

The second layer consists of the Three Talents Formation formed by the three peaks of Ziyang, Yinyue, and Ziwei.

The third layer consists of the Four Seasons Grand Array at the foot of Changsheng Peak and the Guiyi Grand Array within the mountain, with the mountain spirit serving as the central hub of the protective array.

The four sets of formations—Return to One, Yin and Yang, Three Powers, and Four Seasons—are interconnected, establishing the layout of Mount Kurong.

In Gu Changsheng's plan, each of his personal disciples should have their own exclusive mountain peak.

Thinking of Su Xinghe, he finally decided to let his disciple make the choice himself.

If you want a mountain peak, with the Mountain Spirit and Earth Elemental Child present, you can slowly create a new mountain peak;

Alternatively, you could choose a specific spiritual energy node in the Kuru Mountain to open up a cave dwelling.

Mount Kurong is not a formal sect; it is more like a blessed land.

As long as the spiritual plants and beasts on the mountain do not commit any acts of killing, they can cultivate in peace.

He can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate, and he can move around freely without being overly restricted.

These spiritual plants and animals bring life and vitality to Mount Kurong.

The more rare and mystical beasts and plants, the better.

Too much monotony will make you lose your color, and a good environment will make you feel happy.

When Gu Changsheng's divine sense landed on the jade pool in the empty courtyard on the left, he was somewhat delighted.

Originally, I was just trying to see if I could replicate the legendary healing elixir, the Three Lights Divine Water, but I never expected to actually make a name for myself.

He had already sensed that the spiritual mist in the jade pool contained pure life force, and could at least confirm that it was a healing spiritual water.

He looked down over a large open space at the summit of Changsheng Peak, and realized that the plan to build the Jade Palace could now be put on the agenda.

Previously, he had seen a large number of AI-generated Chinese fairy palace videos on Douyin.

Grand and majestic, otherworldly, magnificent and spectacular, ethereal and otherworldly.
