Cultivation Plan

Regarding the massacre that would shroud Blue Star five years from now, following the arrival of the alien Interstellar Colony Ship.

The Grey Mirror provided a total of 6,637 solutions based on Su Yuan's current situation.

For instance—

[Using existing materials on Blue Star, construct a small spacecraft to depart four years from now. The spacecraft will drift through the cosmos for nine hundred and sixty-four years, eventually encountering a Cosmic Trade Alliance fleet. Through this fleet, you may join the circle of the Galactic Human Empire...]

Or, for example.

[Discard your physical body and integrate your consciousness into the Blue Star network, transforming into an information-based lifeform, and submerge yourself into the deepest reaches of the network. After the alien forces finish purging all life on Blue Star, they will reboot the network ninety-five years later and connect it to the Galactic Human Empire's macro-network. At that time, you may use the connection channel to merge into the macro-network and transition from an information-based lifeform back into a physical one...]

And another example.

[Manufacture a Core Detonator to threaten the alien forces by detonating Blue Star, thereby gaining an opportunity to leave. Afterward, the alien forces will hunt you down; you need only... to evade the pursuit...]

The thousands of solutions provided by the Grey Mirror could all help Su Yuan escape the alien massacre completely and without any hidden risks.

Yet, from these thousands of options, Su Yuan ultimately chose the path of opposing the alien Interstellar Colony Ship.

It was not that Su Yuan was benevolent or felt pity for the lives on Blue Star.

Rather, this method offered the greatest benefit to Su Yuan, and it was not particularly difficult either.

He simply needed to follow the plan provided by the Grey Mirror step by step.

Gathering his thoughts, Su Yuan rose to his feet.

"Have you found the potent medicines I asked you to locate?"

Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien and asked.

Several days ago, Su Yuan had instructed Tang Zhien to send his subordinates into the deep mountains and forests to search for these medicines.

These locations, scattered across the country, were places Su Yuan had identified by consulting the Grey Mirror as sites containing external resources suitable for his upcoming cultivation as a Level 1 lifeform.

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

Delegating the task to Tang Zhien was far more convenient, as Zhou Pharmaceutical had employees all over the country.

Moreover, these were not Blood Lingzhi; they were merely located in remote areas, posed no danger, and did not require Su Yuan to personally oversee the harvesting.

"They have all been found."

Tang Zhien replied immediately, a sense of shock welling up within him.

He had strictly followed Su Yuan's instructions, sending people to those specific coordinates, and every single one had yielded results. It was as if the numerous ancient, priceless medicinal herbs had been growing there, just waiting for them to be picked.

Shortly after.

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

Ten minutes later.

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

"Sir intends to build a laboratory..."

Tang Zhien scanned the documents, his mind deep in thought.

"This location is at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Magic City... This factory was one built by Zhou Pharmaceutical years ago..."

Tang Zhien suddenly realized.

Even veteran employees of Zhou Pharmaceutical were unaware that the abandoned factory belonged to the company; it had taken Tang Zhien a moment of careful recollection to recognize it.

Yet, Su Yuan had chosen to build the laboratory on that very site.

This meant that Su Yuan had known all along that the abandoned factory belonged to Zhou Pharmaceutical.

Sir must possess a vast intelligence network... Tang Zhien thought to himself.

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

The information Su Yuan sent consisted of three parts: the laboratory blueprints, the specific coordinates, and the list of names.

"These..."

Tang Zhien opened the list, which contained hundreds of names.

Most of these were employees of Zhou Enterprise, along with several architects from the Xia Kingdom, tasked with the direct construction of the laboratory.

"Have Zhou Yu take charge of the laboratory's construction."

At the bottom of the list was this single line.

Sir is so thorough in his considerations...

Tang Zhien felt a surge of emotion. He had been worrying about whom to select to build this laboratory.

After all, building a laboratory was no simple task; it required not only a massive amount of capital but also a significant workforce.

Tang Zhien did not worry about the money, as Zhou Pharmaceutical had ample funds.

However, what about manpower? Especially when it came to the candidates for building the laboratory...

Yet, the very problem that had been giving Tang Zhien the biggest headache had now been entirely resolved by Su Yuan.

Jinshan Villa District, Villa 66.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room with a laptop placed before him.

The list he had sent to Tang Zhien consisted of personnel meticulously screened by Su Yuan through the Grey Mirror.

Su Yuan's first requirement for this laboratory was that it must be kept secret.

However, the construction of a laboratory involved every aspect of operations, with at least several hundred people participating in the process.

Under such circumstances, achieving absolute secrecy was difficult.

Even if confidentiality agreements were signed beforehand, it was impossible to guarantee that no information would leak out.

So-called confidentiality agreements were only as good as the people signing them.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Yuan had specifically selected a certain group of people.

This group had been verified by the Grey Mirror as being highly reliable and true to their word, ensuring they would not leak any information about this laboratory within the next five years.

As for appointing Zhou Yu as the person in charge of the laboratory's construction... that was because Zhou Yu had developed an instinctive obedience and compliance toward Su Yuan's orders.

He was no less reliable than Tang Zhien.

Having settled the matters regarding the laboratory's construction, Su Yuan began to contemplate his subsequent cultivation plan.

Compared to the cultivation plan from a Level 0 lifeform to a Level 1 lifeform, the plan formulated by the Grey Mirror for advancing from a Level 1 lifeform to a Level 2 lifeform was somewhat more complex.

To go from a Level 1 lifeform to a Level 2 lifeform, Su Yuan had to undergo twenty cultivation sessions, with a three-day interval between each session.

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

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

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

His speed of cultivation, even if placed among the formidable powers deep within the universe, could be considered quite fast.

And this was still under the premise that Blue Star lacked auxiliary cultivation resources.

Compared to the practitioners on Blue Star, his speed of cultivation was not even on the same level.

Taking the martial arts world of the Xia Kingdom as an example, from Ming Jin to Grandmaster of Baodan, even if everything went smoothly and there were no bottlenecks, it would take at least forty-three years.

This data was provided by the Grey Mirror; throughout the thousands of years of Xia Kingdom's history, the youngest Grandmaster of Baodan had been forty-three years old.

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

From Ming Jin to True Dan Celestial, the fastest anyone had ever achieved it was ninety-six years.

The process was filled with various uncertainties, bottlenecks, shackles, and failed breakthroughs.

Yet for Su Yuan, he could bridge this gap in a mere two and a half months.

Moreover, this leap was a six-dimensional advancement, a feat many times more difficult than standard National Martial Arts cultivation.
