Chapter 204: Manufacture

The group wasnt completely convinced, but they soon left after viewing the strange contraption and the group went to visit the Palace of Prosperity. Sage cleaned himself up and Wan Ling recovered her face when she greeted the group at their business. She made a good show of showing off all the luxuries and impressed the Peak Masters.

On the other hand, Sage returned to his research and finally convinced the Sect to sell him rights for a large piece of land. While he could do the project within the Universe Ring he wanted to repay the Sect for taking him in so many years ago and benefit them. In addition, he would need the support of their materials and craftsman. If he could inspire enough of them with the possibilities of mechanical science then they would surely take over and advance it without him. It wasnt like he was a mechanical engineer after all, but with enough of the basics, experts with surely emerge.

Using the land, he built a factory. He wasnt aiming to produce anything in specific, but merely to share some modern manufacturing methods. In the Holy Flame Sect everything was handcrafted by individual professionals. With a few more years of study, and help from other Blacksmiths, he found a way to reinforce basic Spirit Steel to a level where he could build a Steam Engine that wouldnt explode. Using the Steam Engine he powered large conveyor belts and introduced the Sect to the concept of mass production. Of course, at first it didnt really mean anything. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Most magical weapons and devices could only be created in two steps. The smithing, and the inlaying of the array symbols. Usually, this was done by one person because they would be intimately familiar with the item as they forged it and it gave them better chances of successfully inlaying the array symbols. It was only broken up into pieces to produce large numbers of simple devices. One Blacksmith would go from forge to forge inlaying array symbols on their apprentices arrows or spearheads. Sage altered this thought process by building large automatic hammers, huge crucibles, immense forges, and metal casts.

Lightning Tempering had different heights of pillars to indicate the different floors. The Pressure Lake was similar, it was just a huge lake. Descending into the lake the outer edge flattened at nine obvious levels. To face the highest pressure you would simply swim to the center and dive to the very bottom. Others would just meditate on the corresponding depth.

With his abundance of contribution points, Sage had been able to spend the last few years working his way through the many levels of the Sunfire Pagoda. Most people in the sect would only spend their points on the levels that matched up the best with their training. Fire users would do heat tempering, Water users would do cold tempering, speed focused fighters would train in the wind tempest, and so forth. Rarely would anyone have the points to waste for training on every level. Even rarer were the people that could handle the varied body refining levels. Heat, Cold, Lightning, and Gravity. The number of body refining cultivators in the Holy Flame Sect were always a low number, and the only reason Sage could handle it was his non-human body.

The years of training and abundance of pills and resources to strengthen his body was also the reason that he could handle the body refining levels at a whole floor higher than his rank should allow. The only level hed stayed out of was the one he spent the most time at in the past. The eleventh type of floor, Qi Training. A rank 4 cultivator had a maximum lifespan of nearly two thousand years. As Sage hadnt even hit the century mark, he wasnt short on time. As such, he followed Tao Bas advice and did not train his cultivation directly anymore.

The heavenly treasures in his dantian were filling up his dantian on their own, slowly building layer after layer of energy around themselves. Tao Ba told him that if he rushed the process his foundation would be weaker and his core would not be as dense or powerful in the future. While disappointing that he had to wait, Sage had plenty enough to do. He had a huge library to study, many topics of research and, after some thought, plenty of body tempering to do.

Hed never really focused on battling up close and personal, preferring to use his tricks and insects, but having a powerful body would make it that much harder to harm him. It was quite commonly known the best way to defeat a pet was to the kill the master. The methods tamers used to control their pets varied, but the majority of them freed the pets when the owner died. Some even killed the pets at the same time. There were a few rare types of tamers that when killed, their pets grew enraged and more powerful than before. Thankfully, most of these tamers were members of specific Sects, and so most people would know in advance about this danger.
