Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 482: Chapter 425: The Terrifying Mechanism

Below the mountain stream is a vast open space, where Mo Family disciples are bustling around. Large Mechanical Beasts of the Mo Family are neatly arranged here, and many of the enormous mechanisms of the Mo Family, only known from rumors, can be found here.

Mo Xiuwen led the crowd all the way into the canyon and soon came before a gigantic moving fortress.

Its entire body was a dark green color, with sharp edges all around, standing like a small mountain, revealing its imposing presence.

”Why are you showing us the Mechanical Beast?”

Elder Luo was quite dissatisfied, wondering what was so interesting about the Mechanical Beasts.

Mo Xiuwen shook his head and chuckled, ”This is the mechanism for helping the Fire Spirit restore its energy.”

”It’s so big?”

The group couldn’t help but be amazed. Was such a large structure really necessary just for restoring energy?

Ling Wuce finally understood why Mo Xiuwen ran out of Spirit Stones. With such a large mechanism, its value might not be any less than that of a Mechanical Beast, right?

”It’s not only big, its value is quite frightening. Let’s put it this way! One of these can be exchanged for ten Mo Family Mechanical Beasts, and I’m only talking about the cost.”

”To build it, the entire Mo Family would need to be fully mobilized.”

Mo Xiuwen pointed at his creation with immense pride.

In fact, there was one more thing he hadn’t mentioned: to create such an item, he had to personally step in to make it happen.

So truth be told, the value of this mechanism is hard to estimate. First, you would need a vast amount of Spirit Stones, and also a relationship worth Mo Family’s full commitment, along with the friendship of the future patriarch of the Mo Family.

”Why is it so big?”

Han Yu was naturally shocked by the enormity of the mechanism. He looked up at the iron monstrosity over ten zhang tall, bewildered.

”You’ll find out soon.”

Mo Xiuwen gestured, and a group of Mo Family members quickly approached. After whispering some instructions, a few went inside while others flew up to the top of the mechanism.

Click! Click!

Not long after, the enormous mechanism began to tremble, and the gigantic top opened instantly. Soon, dozens of figures carried piles of Spirit Stones to the top, making several trips back and forth, seemingly endless.

How large is it inside?

The crowd was astonished, as it could hold so many Spirit Stones.

”As you can see, this mechanism requires an extremely frightening number of Spirit Stones, which is why it has to be this large.”

Mo Xiuwen spread his hands helplessly and said.

”So, when you mentioned being prepared for bankruptcy, is this what you meant?” Han Yu was dumbfounded, watching the still-busy Mo Family people in the sky, twitching his mouth.

Mo Xiuwen nodded, sighed, and said, ”This mechanism can convert the energy from Spirit Stones into the energy needed by the Spirit Body, but the conversion ratio is ridiculously off.”

”I tried using a hundred pounds of Spirit Stones, and the Fire Spirit said it wasn’t even enough to fill its gap...”

It’s imaginable how terrifying the amount of Spirit Stones needed to fully energize the Fire Spirit would be.

”Wouldn’t it be insufficient?”

Han Yu thought of the scenario described and felt a bit of a headache.

”It won’t be.”

Mo Xiuwen smiled confidently, waved his hand proudly, and said, ”Our flying magical artifact business is particularly profitable. I’ve thrown all the profits from this period and our old savings into it. It’ll sustain it.”

”It’s just that for a future period, both of us won’t have any Spirit Stones, and we’ll have to wait for Jingliang to earn more money.”

This was no problem since Han Yu didn’t usually use Spirit Stones, and the same went for Mo Xiuwen.

So neither of them cared.

”Are you saying this mechanism can convert Spirit Stones into the energy that the Fire Spirit needs, charging it this way?”

Ling Wuce, who had been silent, suddenly thought of something, and his expression became strange.

”What about converting it to spiritual power?”

He asked out of nowhere.

Mo Xiuwen thought it over. This was originally made to solve Han Yu’s problem, so he had never considered that aspect.

But after Ling Wuce’s question, he calmed down and thought for a moment, and then nodded affirmatively.

”It’s not difficult; with some adjustments, it should be doable.”

A group of people simultaneously changed their expressions, looking at Mo Xiuwen as if they were seeing a monster, utterly incredulous.

Ling Wuce was smart, and they weren’t fools either.

The implications of this were obvious. If the mechanism could convert into spiritual power, wouldn’t a single mechanism be equivalent to a Realm of Transcendence?

Thinking deeper, as long as the Mo Family had enough money, how many such mechanisms could they build capable of reaching the Realm of Transcendence?

Some sect elders couldn’t help but imagine hundreds of such mechanisms parked outside the sect, bombarding it endlessly.

This would utterly destroy any of the Nine Sects!

”Thankfully, the cost is exorbitant.”

The Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower was relieved, considering that with their current antagonistic stance with the Mo Family, if the Mo Family really tore their face, they were likely to be the first to get attacked.

”That’s not the case. I spent lavishly for that because it was for the Pharmacists; if it’s truly for war, I can reduce more than half the cost, and I wouldn’t feel bad about breaking them.”

Mo Xiuwen seemed to realize other uses for this mechanism, and couldn’t help but brighten up as various ideas rushed in.

”I can also remodel it so that it can fly through the sky and dive underground, transforming its shape into a fortress, outfitting it with hundreds of gun barrels, and by then one Mechanical Beast could be equivalent to dozens of Realm of Transcendence cultivators...”

”Alright, stop talking.”

The Great Elder of Unparalleled Tower quickly interrupted, feeling a chill, beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked at Mo Xiuwen with a weird gaze.

Damn, birds of a feather flock together; Han Yu was bad enough, but this Mo Family kid is equally an outright freak in this area.

The Mo Family hasn’t accrued much virtue, so how could they birth such a marvelous wonder?

”Quack Quack Quack!”

A small fiery figure darted over at this moment, the Fire Spirit waddling rapidly on its webbed feet, rushing over quickly.

Trailing behind was a group of Mo Family members carrying the Fire Spirit’s main body.

Once the Fire Spirit arrived, its beak kept chattering, bouncing up and down, seemingly quite pleased that Han Yu was still alive.

Only after sparks burst and scattered onto everyone did they hear the Fire Spirit’s words.

”Damn, it’s great you’re not dead. If you were dead, who would take care of the old duck? Promise me, until I’ve found another place, you’re not allowed to die.”

It should be known that it was living quite comfortably in the Mo Family, seeing new inventions every day, no longer needing to hide, wandering freely wherever it wanted.

Upon hearing that Han Yu had died, it felt like the sky was falling, fearing it would be thrown out by the Mo Family, but it turned out he wasn’t dead after all, thank goodness.

Han Yu’s face darkened; to hell with the so-called Spirit of Heaven and Earth, each one was a loafer.

A pretentious Wood Spirit and a Fire Spirit treating him like a meal ticket were all the same, nasty!

The mechanism’s opened top seemed already filled with Spirit Stones, slowly closing up at this moment.

The Fire Spirit tilted its duck head, quacking a few times, and then asked, ”So, can the old duck be restored now?”
