162: Chapter 162 Is the Internet the Same as a Spider Web?

"It can work!"

Upon hearing these resolute words, Luo Yunkai abruptly looked at the speaker.

Zhong Jiang first apologized to Luo Yunkai, "Fellow Daoist, I did not intend to eavesdrop."

Chen Xuanfeng felt a toothache; you call him Fellow Daoist, I call him Dad, that's a generation lower for no reason!

Zhong Jiang looked at Luo Yunkai very seriously, completely failing to notice Chen Xuanfeng's little outburst.

"Fellow Daoist, everyone's spiritual aura is unique. It's like how paper crane messaging utilizes the principle that spiritual auras are unique."

"Fellow Daoist, you only need to equip the Magical Artifact with a function similar to a paper crane's recognition of spiritual auras. If you want to message someone, you use that person's spiritual aura."

"However, paper cranes only work over short distances. The Magical Artifact you wish to create clearly shouldn't be limited by distance, so that will require careful deliberation."

"As for video transmission, you only need to etch master-slave inscriptions on Magical Artifacts that retain each other's spiritual auras. The video footage on the slave artifact can then be synchronized to the master artifact."

Luo Yunkai's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head, "What I want isn't that kind where all footage is synchronized to the corresponding Magical Artifact; I want it so that only the videos I intend to send are transmitted."

"Actually, my idea is, could we establish something like a spider web that spans this Southern Wilderness, and then use this web to connect these Magical Artifacts in all directions?"

"As long as people are on the spider web, they can communicate with each other through it, just like how when a spider web moves, the spider can sense that there is prey; it's the same principle."

"Whether it's video footage or each person's Magical Artifact contact number, they can all be hung on the spider web. When you want to find someone, you just need to follow the spider web to find them."

Luo Yunkai tried his best to explain the existence of a network in a way that people in the Cultivation World could understand.

Zhong Jiang was thoughtful, "Isn't this just Spiritual Qi?"

Luo Yunkai frowned, "Can Spiritual Qi work?"

Zhong Jiang affirmed, "Spiritual Qi can work!"

Luo Yunkai's eyes gradually brightened, "Right, Spiritual Qi can work! You, what is your name? I'll pay ten million Spirit Stones, will you join me in research to create this Magical Artifact and network?"

Zhong Jiang shook his head.

Luo Yunkai grew anxious; he had finally caught a glimpse of Wealthy, he couldn't give up now.

"Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Zhong Jiang's mouth opened slightly.

Chen Xuanfeng was also very surprised, "Dad, is this spider web really that important?" Worth spending ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?

Luo Yunkai nodded heavily, "It concerns Wealthy."

Chen Xuanfeng kept his mouth shut.

He knew that Dad was always very generous when it came to his brothers' affairs.

Zhong Jiang was tempted. Ten million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones—could he then find a medical cultivator from Medicine King Valley to cure his mother?

When his mother was lucid, she was incredibly good to him!

"I..."

"Yun Shang Sect Golden Core, Zhong Jiang! I remember this person hitched a ride with Dan City's Chen Xuanfeng during the preliminary selection, right?"

Zhong Jiang swallowed the words he was about to agree with, his eyes dimming, "Sorry, I have to go participate in the Righteous and Demonic Grand Competition first. If I can return alive, I agree."

Luo Yunkai frowned; he couldn't let such a talent just die like that.

He immediately took off the defensive jade talisman hanging from his waist, the Gold-Engraved Dragon Jade, which was a Level 4 low-grade Magical Artifact with automatic defense and rebound capabilities!

"Here, take this!"

Zhong Jiang waved his hand, "I cannot accept this without having earned it!"

Chen Xuanfeng laughed, "Brother Zhong, just take it. It's only on loan, not a gift."

Zhong Jiang sternly refused, "This is Fellow Daoist Luo's Magical Artifact. If you lend it to me, you must sever the contract, and the backlash from the contract..."

Luo Yunkai directly severed the contract, a streak of red clearly visible beneath his greying beard.

Ye Fan hurriedly took out a top-grade Backlash-Easing Pill, "Dad, this is a Backlash-Easing Pill. Take it quickly; it can alleviate the backlash injury."

Luo Yunkai nodded with a smile and took the Backlash-Easing Pill.

Except for his complexion still being somewhat pale, Luo Yunkai's aura had basically stabilized.

Zhong Jiang was dumbfounded, "This, this..."

Xiao Tian proudly put his arm around Ye Fan's shoulder, "My Medicinal Pills, only my Brother Fan can concoct them!"

Ye Fan smiled gently, "I was lucky enough to obtain a Pill Formula; it's just some Medicinal Pills for treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

Zhong Jiang's pupils suddenly dilated in surprise, his breathing quickening, "Then, do you have any Medicinal Pills for treating madness?"

Ye Fan was slightly surprised, but nodded, "There is, but..."

Zhong Jiang excitedly stepped forward toward Ye Fan, but seeing Chu Feng's defensive posture, he paused, then turned to look at Luo Yunkai, "I can research that Magical Artifact with you. I don't want Spirit Stones, as long as he is willing to help me concoct pills to save my mother!"

Luo Yunkai didn't immediately agree on Ye Fan's behalf; he looked at Ye Fan.

Zhong Jiang was somewhat surprised. Shouldn't a father be able to decide this kind of thing himself?

He looked at Ye Fan with some trepidation.

Even though Ye Fan looked very gentle, he felt quite a bit of pressure from him.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, asked about the situation of Zhong Jiang's mother in detail, and then nodded, "I am not sure if my Medicinal Pills will be effective, I can only do my best."

Zhong Jiang pursed his lips and nodded, "Doing your best is enough."

He cast his gaze toward the jade talisman in Luo Yunkai's hand, his cheeks burning for his own somewhat shameless actions.

"I..."

"Take it!" Luo Yunkai handed it forward again.

This time, Zhong Jiang did not refuse. His fingers tightened; the edge of the jade talisman pressed into his palm, which was very uncomfortable, but he did not let go.

"Thank you!"

Zhong Jiang brought the jade talisman and returned to the fighting platform.

Luo Yunkai kept watch by the window.

Seeing him like this, even Chu Feng was a bit jealous.

"Dad, you don't care at all about the death matches of Brother Tian and the others. You are constantly thinking of an outsider; anyone who didn't know would think he was your son, and that we were all picked up somewhere!"

Chen Xuanfeng and Xiao Tian nodded solemnly, and Su Xin and Ye Fan were no exception.

Blazing Fire, seeing this, also nodded foolishly, standing in solidarity with his brothers.

Luo Yunkai didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said deliberately, "Aren't you all just picked up by me?"

Chu Feng's eyes widened, and he teleported behind Luo Yunkai, his voice very loud—the kind of loud that would burst Luo Yunkai's eardrums.

"Dad, say that again!"

Luo Yunkai resignedly covered his ears, thinking it was a good thing it wasn't Hao'er, otherwise his ears might really be deaf for two days.

"Alright, stop being jealous. He is a research talent and is helpful to me, that's why I'm a bit more concerned about him."

"Besides, he isn't like you and your brothers, all of whom are incredibly strong and don't need me to worry about you at all."

Luo Yunkai had an expression of pride, "As expected of my son, you are just amazing!"

Chu Feng snorted coldly and let his father off for now.

Ye Fan, Su Xin, Chen Xuanfeng, and Xiao Tian all shook their heads in unison.

Chu Feng, can't you hold out a little longer against Dad's sugar-coated bullets?

"Xuanfeng, that spear aura of Zhong Jiang's, I see a bit of you in it. You taught him, right?"

Chen Xuanfeng immediately raised his chin slightly and let out a light "Hmm," as if he didn't care at all.

Luo Yunkai gave a thumbs up, "I knew it; only you could teach such a sharp spear aura."

Even though Chen Xuanfeng was very restrained, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but curl up.

"That is only natural."

Chu Feng scoffed.

You talk about me, but you're just the same!
