Are You Crazy? You Want Chan Sect Immortals to Build Air Conditioners? Three Pure Ones Puzzled: So Quiet?

Xuandu was full of doubt.

Senior Brother Qingyuan's list contained requirements for refining many kinds of pills.

Some were meant to be displayed publicly when the Immortal Market opened.

The rest were to serve as salaries and allowances for the immortals of every department in the Kunlun Immortal Market project.

He could understand all of that.

But apart from pills, there were cigarettes, cola, Sprite, Liquan, Niulanshan, potato chips, Erguotou, sauce aroma, instant noodles, ham... and all sorts of other things. He had truly never heard of or seen any of them before!!

After Great Master Xuandu of the Human Sect raised his doubts,

Guangchengzi and Immortal Elder Nanji of the Chan Sect also revealed puzzled expressions.

"Senior Brother Qingyuan, we can understand you asking our Chan Sect to refine some artifacts and specialized equipment for the construction site, but..."

Guangchengzi wore a strange expression. "What are air conditioners, refrigerators, display screens, street lamps, speakers, and subways? You want us to make such things, but we have never even heard of them!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Qingyuan. You also asked us to create the Heavenly Net for surveillance, as well as the Sky Net System. What are those, and how are we supposed to make them?"

Immortal Elder Nanji was filled with confusion.

Although he admired the many ideas in the head of this First Disciple of Interception Sect,

they had never heard of any of the items Qingyuan had described.

And the Interception Sect had erupted into commotion as well.

Golden Spirit Holy Mother asked in some confusion, "Senior Disciple Brother, does the Materials Department mean going to Kunlun Mountains to search for stone and timber?"

"Senior Disciple Brother, you want me to lead everyone as laborers? I thought the Construction Department did something important. Turns out it's just Moving Stones and Building Houses?" Holy Mother Wudang was rather dumbfounded too.

As for Qiushou Xian, Yun Zhongzi, Daoist Duobao, and Daoist Randeng, their expressions remained fairly calm.

They could still accept

their respective work responsibilities.

"Cigarettes, cola, instant noodles, sauce aroma, and other Fast-moving Consumer Goods will play an indispensable role in spreading the reputation of the future Kunlun Immortal Market throughout the Primordial Wilderness."

Qingyuan smiled warmly at Great Master Xuandu. "Senior Brother Xuandu's Pill Dao is peerless, and with the help of the Human Sect's outstanding talents, researching these little items should not be difficult. If there is anything you do not understand, after the meeting I can visit Shangqing Peak and explain these items' details and uses to you. How does that sound?"

"Good!"

Great Master Xuandu nodded.

He simply did not understand what foods such as instant noodles were.

He was not opposed to making them.

If Senior Brother Qingyuan could thoroughly explain such items to him afterward, the chances of successfully producing them should be quite high.

"Junior Brother Guangchengzi, fellow junior brothers, these are merely simple artifacts. First, they can embellish the scenery of the Kunlun Immortal Market. Second, they can demonstrate the Chan Sect's uniquely superb artifact-refining skills to all beings of the Primordial Wilderness. Surely such minor work will be effortless for you all?"

Qingyuan once more praised the Chan Sect immortals with a smile. "If even you junior brothers cannot make these things, I cannot think of anyone among the Mystic Gate Disciples who could be so masterful in artifact refinement."

"These things are not difficult to make. But when Senior Brother Qingyuan has time, you will need to explain their principles to us."

After thinking for a moment, Guangchengzi cupped his hands and replied.

"Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Junior Sister Wudang, the Materials Department and Construction Department are exhausting, but the harder the work is, the more it demonstrates the united spirit and strength in numbers of us Jie Sect Disciples. I trust you can accomplish it?"

Qingyuan looked again at the two direct disciples of the Interception Sect.

The two exchanged glances, then cupped their hands as well. "We are willing to give it our all!"

"Where there are punishments, there must be rewards. Junior brothers and sisters, work boldly and diligently in the coming days. I will see everything you do, and once the project is complete, I will reward you according to your contributions!"

Qingyuan offered them encouragement.

The disciples present immediately cheered with excitement.

Only then did he conclude this groundbreaking speech and have the immortals leave to rest for now.

They would wait for word before beginning work again.

Qingyuan chatted with many familiar faces from the Interception Sect for a while before walking toward Great Master Xuandu. "Come, Senior Brother Xuandu. Let us return to your dojo, and I will tell you what the Pill Department needs to refine."

"You are most welcome."

Great Master Xuandu smiled.

Then, riding clouds and driving mist, the group flew toward Shangqing Peak.

After arriving at Shangqing Peak,

Qingyuan first paid his respects to Saint Taiqing.

Only then did he go to Great Master Xuandu's dojo and discuss the Pill Department's task details with Xuandu, Du'e, and Zhenwu.

As for Gold and Silver Boy,

they did not possess any skill in pill refinement.

At most, they could fan the furnace fire while Xuandu and the others refined pills, or fill bottles with the finished pills.

There was no need to mention Green Ox and Zhu Ganglie.

One had intelligence, but aside from constantly ordering Gold and Silver Boy to find fertile grasslands in Kunlun Mountains so he could lie around and eat grass, he did absolutely nothing.

Zhu Ganglie had only recently gained intelligence.

He could not help much either.

Qingyuan remained at Xuandu's dojo for several decades, thoroughly explaining the formulas for various modern Fast-moving Consumer Goods and developing them before finally bidding the group farewell.

Afterward,

he flew toward Yuqing Peak.

After visiting Venerable Yuanshi, he found Guangchengzi and the other immortals. He also spent several decades explaining the principles behind all kinds of electrical appliances, producing samples of each one before speaking his farewell.

But unexpectedly,

just as he was leaving,

Daoist Randeng suddenly called out to stop him. "Nephew-Disciple Qingyuan, please wait."

"What is it?" Qingyuan raised his brow slightly. He saw Daoist Randeng stride toward him, bow slightly, and cup his hands in salute. "Nephew-Disciple Qingyuan, there were some minor misunderstandings between us before, but those are all in the past. Can the misunderstanding between us be resolved?"

Qingyuan watched Daoist Randeng's thin, wrinkled face

and his sincere expression.

After a moment of silence, Qingyuan finally bowed slightly and saluted him. "Qingyuan greets Uncle-Master Randeng."

"Good, good, good!"

Daoist Randeng was instantly overjoyed. He took out a piece of Immortal Gold Divine Materials from his Storage Artifact and pressed it into Qingyuan's hand. "Nephew-Disciple Qingyuan, I offended you greatly before. This Skyfire Bintie Immortal Gold, born where extreme yin gives rise to yang in the Abyssal Land along the East Sea Coast, is a gift for you. I hope you will not find it beneath your notice!"

Afterward,

Qingyuan felt an intense burning sensation in his palm.

Looking down,

he saw a lump of fiery Bintie Immortal Gold in his hand, while Daoist Randeng's smile was quite sincere.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master Randeng."

Qingyuan sighed inwardly and bowed in salute.

"Good, good, it is nothing!" Daoist Randeng beamed. "If you need to refine artifacts but cannot melt this Bintie, just tell me. I will help you smelt it."

"Alright."

Qingyuan nodded.

Just then, Daoist Huanglong asked curiously, "Senior Brother Qingyuan, we are all busy with our tasks, but what will you be busy with?"

"Naturally, I have more important matters to handle."

This time, Qingyuan did not mock Daoist Huanglong. He cupped his hands toward the Chan Sect immortals and said, "I leave the Artifact Department matters to you all. Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

The Chan Sect immortals cupped their hands and watched Qingyuan depart.

For a rather long period afterward,

the Three Sects of the Mystic Gate became immersed in work.

Qingyuan led the Disciples of the Jie Sect in surveying and selecting locations throughout Kunlun Mountains.

He mobilized nearly ten thousand Interception Sect disciples to conduct a carpet-like search across the Kunlun Mountain Range. After several hundred years, they finally found a suitable site for building the Immortal Market.

The Construction Department, Materials Department, and Logistics Department stood ready.

They launched a bustling construction project in the Kunlun Mountain Range.

Holy Mother Wudang wielded the Mountain Driving Whip, opening mountains when she encountered them and parting rivers when she met them. She led countless disciples to deal with construction-site matters, while Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the sect members gathered timber, stone, and other materials throughout Kunlun Mountains to ensure sufficient supplies.

Qiushou Xian and the others from Logistics ran everywhere, handling all kinds of "difficult and complicated problems."

Daoist Randeng of the Formation Department had long been ready. Every year, he brought people to inspect the construction sites and set up formations.

The Pill and Artifact Departments were also working overtime to rush their tasks.

Yun Zhongzi of the Publicity Department was comparatively idle.

He designated Great Roc and other fast-traveling Interception Sect disciples as mounts, then selected several socially adept disciples as well.

They traveled throughout Kunlun Mountains, visiting Innate Divine Beings, Primordial Great Powers,

and all kinds of Loose Immortals.

Yun Zhongzi was a True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue. With a jade-like face and exceptional eloquence, he persuaded many Loose Immortals in the Kunlun Mountain Range, as well as Innate Great Gods led by Queen Mother of the West.

Daoist Duobao, the head of the Supervision Department, brought several hundred Interception Sect disciples from the Inspection Department to live directly at the construction site.

Every month, he sent people to conduct spot checks and inspections, acting with swift and decisive methods.

In just the first few hundred years, he executed several Interception Sect disciples and expelled dozens.

Several hundred more were imprisoned.

This immediately cowed many unruly disciples.

And Qingyuan was not idle either.

He returned to Serene Peak and used the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Falling Treasure Gold Coin, to imprint marks upon the countless Immortal Crystals given by the three saints from their three Great Thousand Worlds.

He truly could not stop for even a moment.

The Three Sects Disciples worked together with unprecedented unity, laboring fervently throughout Kunlun Mountains.

Time flew like an arrow, and the sun and moon raced like a shuttle.

Several thousand years quietly passed.

Yet the three saints of Kunlun Mountains felt that something was not quite right.

Something was wrong...

What was going on?

The disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects had been in conflict for so many years, fighting fiercely with one another.

Why had they suddenly become so quiet over the past several thousand years?

It was a little hard to get used to...
