Cultivation Plan

The massacre that would engulf all of Blue Star when the Alien Force's Interstellar Colony Ship arrived in five years.

Based on Su Yuan's current situation, the Grey Mirror had provided 6,637 solutions.

For example—

[Using the materials currently available on Blue Star, build a small spaceship and leave Blue Star in four years. The spaceship will drift through space for 964 years before eventually encountering a fleet from the Cosmic Trade Alliance. Through that fleet, you can join the sphere of the Galactic Human Empire...]

Another example.

[Abandon your physical body and merge your consciousness with Blue Star's network, transforming into an Information Lifeform and immersing yourself in the deepest reaches of the network. After the Alien Force has purged all life on Blue Star, it will reboot the network in 95 years and connect it to the Galactic Human Empire's macro network. At that point, pass through the connection between the two networks and merge with the Galactic Human Empire's macro network, then transform from an Information Lifeform into a material lifeform...]

And another.

[Create a Core Detonator and use it to threaten the Alien Force by detonating Blue Star, securing a chance to leave the planet. The Alien Force will hunt you afterward. You only need to... to evade the pursuit...]

The thousands of solutions provided by the Grey Mirror could all help Su Yuan escape the Alien Force's massacre completely and safely, without leaving any hidden dangers.

In the end, among those thousands of possible solutions, Su Yuan chose to fight the Alien Force's Interstellar Colony Ship.

It wasn't that Su Yuan was merciful or felt pity for the life on Blue Star.

This option simply offered him the greatest benefit, and it wasn't particularly difficult.

He only needed to follow the Grey Mirror's plan, step by step.

Su Yuan gathered his thoughts and stood up.

"Have you found all the precious medicines I asked you to look for?"

Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien and asked.

Several days earlier, Su Yuan had instructed Tang Zhien to send his people to search for precious medicines in specific places deep in the mountains and forests.

These places were scattered across the country. Su Yuan had asked the Grey Mirror about them; they held the resources needed to support Level 1 Lifeform cultivation.

If Su Yuan had searched for them one by one himself, it would have taken at least eight or ten days, if not half a month.

But leaving it to Tang Zhien was much more convenient. Zhou Pharmaceutical had employees all over the country.

Besides, these medicines weren't Blood Lingzhi. They were simply in remote locations, with no dangers nearby, and didn't require Su Yuan to direct the gathering himself.

"They've all been found."

Tang Zhien replied at once, astonishment rising in his heart.

He had followed Su Yuan's instructions to the letter, sending people to those specific locations. They had found something at every one of them. Valuable old and ancient medicines worth a fortune seemed to have grown there just waiting for them to pick.

Next.

Su Yuan took some of the medicines and left the Zhou Family Old Residence.

Ten minutes later.

Tang Zhien received a set of construction blueprints, along with precise coordinates and a list of names.

"Sir wants to build a laboratory..."

Tang Zhien skimmed through the documents, pondering.

"This location is an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Magic City... This factory was once a pharmaceutical plant built by Zhou Pharmaceutical..."

Tang Zhien suddenly realized.

Even longtime Zhou Pharmaceutical employees didn't know that the abandoned factory belonged to the company. Tang Zhien himself only recognized it after studying the plans and thinking for a while.

Yet Su Yuan had chosen to build the laboratory right on the site of that abandoned factory.

In other words, Su Yuan had known all along that the factory belonged to Zhou Pharmaceutical.

"'Sir' must have control over a massive intelligence network..." Tang Zhien thought to himself.

"And this list..." Tang Zhien looked at the final document.

The information Su Yuan had sent consisted of three parts: the laboratory blueprints, its precise location, and a list.

"Let's see..."

Tang Zhien opened the list. It contained several hundred names.

Most were Zhou Enterprise employees; the rest were architects from the Xia Kingdom, who would directly handle the laboratory's construction.

"Have Zhou Yu oversee the construction of this laboratory."

At the bottom of the list was this line.

"'Sir' really has thought of everything..."

Tang Zhien marveled inwardly. He had been fretting over whom to assign to the construction project.

After all, building a laboratory was no easy task. It would require not only a great deal of money but also a lot of people.

Tang Zhien wasn't worried about the money. Zhou Pharmaceutical had plenty of funds.

But the manpower? Especially the people who would build the laboratory...

Now, however, Su Yuan had taken care of the very problem that had been troubling Tang Zhien the most.

At Villa 66 in the Jinshan Villa District.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, a laptop in front of him.

The list he had sent Tang Zhien consisted of people he had carefully selected with the Grey Mirror.

Su Yuan's first requirement for the laboratory was that it remain secret.

However, building a laboratory involved all sorts of work, with at least several hundred people taking part.

Under those circumstances, secrecy would be difficult.

Even if everyone signed a confidentiality agreement beforehand, there was no way to guarantee that nothing would leak.

Confidentiality agreements depended on the people involved.

That was exactly why Su Yuan had carefully selected this group.

The Grey Mirror had confirmed that they were all reliable and kept their promises. None of them would reveal any information about the laboratory in the next five years.

As for appointing Zhou Yu to oversee its construction... it was because Zhou Yu had already developed an instinctive obedience to Su Yuan's commands.

He was nearly as obedient as Tang Zhien.

With the laboratory arrangements settled, Su Yuan began considering his cultivation plan.

Compared to the cultivation plan for advancing from a Level 0 Lifeform to a Level 1 Lifeform, the Grey Mirror's plan for advancing from Level 1 to Level 2 was more complicated.

To advance from Level 1 to Level 2, Su Yuan would need to cultivate twenty times, with three days between each session.

In other words, it would take Su Yuan sixty days, or two months, to become a Level 2 Lifeform.

"Half a month to become a Level 1 Lifeform, two months to become a Level 2 Lifeform..."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

That cultivation speed of his...

Even among the powerful forces deep in the universe, it would be considered fast.

And that was with the lack of resources to support cultivation on Blue Star.

Compared to the cultivators on Blue Star, his speed was on another level entirely.

Take the Xia Kingdom's cultivation world, for example. Going from Ming Jin to a Grandmaster of Baodan would take at least forty-three years, even if everything went smoothly and there were no bottlenecks.

That figure came from the Grey Mirror. Over the Xia Kingdom's several thousand years of history, the youngest Grandmaster of Baodan had been forty-three.

As for a Level 2 True Dan Celestial, it took ninety-six years.

The fastest one could advance from Ming Jin to a True Dan Celestial was ninety-six years.

The process was full of uncertainties: bottlenecks, failed breakthroughs, and countless other obstacles.

Yet for Su Yuan, overcoming all of that would take only two and a half months.

And he would be advancing in all six dimensions at once, making it many times more difficult than ordinary National Martial Arts cultivation.
