Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Chapter 131 : Plan to develop the Spirit Train - The Comical Duo

Previously, Su Yen had been troubled by their lack of a viable mode of transportation. He would have loved to buy that knowledge from the system store, but his insufficient Destiny Points made him put it on hold.

With his recent reward, he didn't hesitate to buy the knowledge from the system store: Spirit Artifact Engineering.

Spirit Artifact Engineering cost him 500 Destiny Points. He was bitter about his Destiny Points going down the drain, but when he accessed the vast knowledge of Spirit Artifact Engineering, he was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds.

The Spirit Artifact Engineering contained:

1. Metaphysical Understanding: It explained in great detail the deep understanding of spiritual and metaphysical principles, teaching and displaying how to harness spiritual energies in their designs.

2. Mastery of Spirit Stones: This explained the selecting, carving, and imbuing of Spirit Stones with specific energies, making them the core components of his creations.

3. Functional Design: This taught how to use martial techniques and everyday needs to design Spirit Artifacts that serve specific functions. These include offensive weapons, defensive tools, communication devices, transportation aids, and more.

4. Combining Technology and Spirituality: This taught how to blend conventional engineering principles with spiritual knowledge to create harmonious designs. They incorporate geometric patterns, enchantments, and runic symbols into the physical structure of the artifacts.

The list was long, and he was overwhelmed by it.

After taking his time to digest his newfound knowledge, he sorted them accordingly and decided the first thing he was going to create was the Spirit Train.

Why the Spirit Train? The ability to carry a lot of people at the same time was one aspect, while the second aspect was that the mechanism for creating a Spirit Train wasn't hard.

After understanding how to combine spiritual energy with modern principles, creating a Spirit Train would be easy.

He needed to find the best blacksmith to create the components, then move to the formation and runes aspect. Lastly was the Spirit Stone carving.

The Spirit Stone was the most difficult aspect of the whole lot, but for him, it was quite manageable. The formation array would consist of a strengthening array, protection array, and transmission array.

As for the runes, it would serve as the brain box for the Spirit Train. It would communicate with the Spirit Stones and the Formation Array.

With everything sorted out, this led to their current meeting.

"Sect master, what is a Spirit Train?" Su Ming asked, curiosity burning on his face.

Everyone inside the hall was filled with curiosity. They had long developed blind trust in Su Yen. They knew that whatever he developed would be far from conventional.

Therefore, they couldn't wait to grasp what this mysterious Spirit Train was all about.

Su Yen looked at their curious gaze and responded slowly.

"You all know what a carriage is, right?"

"Yes," they all nodded.

"Good. It's something like that but much faster and can carry a lot of people at the same time."

A carriage that could carry a lot of people and be much faster. Instead of answering to satiate their curiosity, his response deepened it. How could a carriage carry so many people and be faster?

They looked at each other and saw the deep confusion on each other's faces.

Su Yen knew they were still confused, but he also knew that the more he tried to explain such a train concept to them, the more confused they would get. The best thing to do was to show them when he finished building the Spirit Train.

"Call those old dogs inside," he commanded with a stern face.

An elder rushed out to call Elder Feng and Elder Jie. When the two entered, everyone was stupefied.

Their faces were swollen so much that it was difficult to see their eyes. Their pristine robes had been turned into rags. Each had various deep and shallow injuries on their bodies.

For a couple of seconds, the hall descended into abrupt silence. Looking at the comical faces of the two Supreme Elders, some of them were finding it difficult to hold their laughter.

Hahahaha.

Su Yen burst into laughter, not caring about his image as the sect master.

Hahaha.

Like a chain reaction, the hall descended into a state of laughter. Their comical faces were just too funny not to laugh at.

Elder Feng and Elder Jie were furious, looking at the lesser elders laughing at them, but when they remembered who first started laughing, they contained the fury in their hearts.

Instead of directing their fury at Su Yen, they directed their fury at each other. They glared at each other with their somewhat obscure eyes.

After having his portion of laughter, Su Yen recovered and took a deep breath not to start another round of laughter.

"Mere looking at you... I want to start laughing again. This is...." His voice trailed when something clicked in his brain.

Whoosh!

He waved his hand, and a Spirit Image Crystal appeared before him.

Looking at the Spirit Image Crystal, Elder Feng and Elder Jie panicked and cried.

"Sect master!"

"What? I just want to keep this as a

souvenir," Su Yen pondered with a calm smile. But the continuous trembling from the corners of his lips showed how difficult he was trying to contain himself from laughing.

"Please, sect master, we won't fight again," they cried at the same time.

"No. No. That wouldn't be good," Su Yen shook his head as he continued to take their picture with a calm smile.

"Continue to fight so that I can keep seeing this version of your face."

Elder Feng and Elder Jie looked at each other and wanted to cry but didn't have any tears in their obscure eyes. Today, they knew they had all lost face in the presence of all the elders.

They regret their previous impulsive action but their was no pill for regret.

Without uttering a word, the two walked toward their seats like deflated balloons.

"Hahaha. I will keep this for your grandchildren. What a lovely picture," he clapped his hands and retrieved the Spirit Image Crystal.

"Where did we stop... Haha. I remember."

Looking at Su Yen having the thrill of his life, the elders couldn't help but pity Elder Feng and Elder Jie. They knew from this moment, their fate was sealed, and they would be at the mercy of the sect master.

Su Ming and Su Lan exchanged subtle glances and shivered when they remembered their past experiences at Su Yen's hands. Talking about blackmailing, if Su Yen took the second position, no one dared to take the first position. Su Yen wasn't just lazy out of the blue; all his work was done by them. In one way or the other, he would find their secrets and blackmail them with it.

Elder Feng and Elder Jie should forget about escaping from his clutch of this devil.

As for Su Yen, he didn't know what was going on in the minds of his two siblings, and if he knew, he wouldn't care.

"Back to the topic, for us to create the Spirit Train, we need the complete map of the Cloudweaver city."

"Let's start from the Cloudweaver city before moving to other cities," his voice full of seriousness.

"Elder Kang, where are the cartographers?" he asked.

"They are all ready," Elder Kang stood up quickly and reported. This version of Su Yen was something no elder wanted to play with.

"How about the blacksmith?" he asked.

"They are all waiting for your orders," Elder Jiayi responded.

"Formation and runes?" he turned to look at Elder Mei.

"We're ready as well." Elder Mei stood up quickly and responded.

"Good. Let's go to the workshop and create the first Spirit Train in the world," he declared.
