The Establishment of the Soul Guidance Factory

A month had passed since those twelve disciples had first begun learning Soul Guidance Devices.

Over these past few months, Feng Xiaoyuan had gone to the rear mountain every day.

He personally taught these twelve Feng Clan disciples how to make Soul Guidance Devices.

From the most basic soul guidance theory, to spiritual power cultivation, then to engraving Soul Guidance Arrays, and finally the production of various Soul Guidance Devices.

The Feng Clan's rear mountain.

Those twelve disciples all sat upright before their desks the entire time.

Every one of them was fully focused on making the Soul Guidance Device in their hands.

Soul Guidance Telescopes, Soul Guidance Cameras, and phones.

As the last disciple slowly put down his tools, a trace of soul power slowly flowed into the phone.

The next moment, the screen gradually lit up.

Feng Xiaoyuan walked before everyone and personally began inspecting all the finished Soul Guidance Devices.

The Soul Guidance Telescope.

Qualified.

The Soul Guidance Camera.

Qualified.

The phone.

It could likewise be successfully activated.

After inspecting the final Soul Guidance Device, Feng Xiaoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"The Soul Guidance Devices you made have all reached the qualified standard."

When the twelve disciples heard this, excited expressions appeared on their faces.

Feng Xiaoyuan looked at everyone and continued speaking slowly.

"After a month of study, "you are already able to make Soul Guidance Devices like the Soul Guidance Telescope, the Soul Guidance Camera, and the phone on your own.

"So congratulations. From today onward, you are true Soul Guidance Masters."

The twelve people below stood up at the same time and cupped their fists respectfully.

"Many thanks for your cultivation, Young Master."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded lightly.

"You are still only junior Soul Guidance Masters.

"In the future, there will be many more Soul Guidance Devices waiting for you to make.

"So you must always maintain the mindset of an apprentice."

After leaving the rear mountain, Feng Xiaoyuan went to Feng Yan's study.

At this moment, Feng Yan was handling the Feng Clan's affairs, both large and small.

When Feng Yan saw Feng Xiaoyuan walk in, he set aside the work in his hands.

"Xiaoyuan.

"What brings you to me today?"

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled faintly.

"Father.

"The Soul Guidance Factory can begin construction now."

Feng Yan's expression immediately turned serious.

"You mean..."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"That's right.

"Those twelve have more or less mastered the production of some basic Soul Guidance Devices.

"Soul Guidance Telescopes, Soul Guidance Cameras, and even phones—they can already make all of them independently."

When Feng Yan heard this, joy immediately appeared on his face.

"We've finally waited until this day."

Feng Xiaoyuan continued speaking.

"However."

"Only the twelve of them truly master the core technology."

"Those ordinary workers only need to be responsible for producing all kinds of metal parts."

"After these workers finish making the components and parts."

"They'll be sent together to the twelve of them."

"And the twelve of them will be responsible for assembling them and inscribing the Soul Guidance Arrays inside."

Feng Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Good. A fine method."

"Even if these ordinary workers leave the Feng Clan."

"They won't know the true secrets of Soul Guidance Devices."

Just then, Feng Yan suddenly laughed.

"Xiaoyuan."

"Actually, the Soul Guidance Factory was already built long ago."

Feng Xiaoyuan was stunned when he heard that.

"Built already?"

Feng Yan smiled and nodded.

"You were responsible for teaching them how to make Soul Guidance Devices this past month."

"As your father, I naturally wasn't idle either."

"The Feng Clan's first Soul Guidance Factory was already built long ago."

A faint smile appeared on Feng Xiaoyuan's face.

"Father."

"Take me over to have a look."

Soon, father and son arrived at the Soul Guidance Factory.

What entered their eyes was a magnificent building on a grand scale.

The entire Soul Guidance Factory had been divided into many different areas.

The metal forging area.

The parts manufacturing area.

The mechanical assembly area.

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good."

"It's exactly the same as I imagined."

Feng Yan said with a smile.

"The factory is ready."

"With just one word from you, it can officially begin production."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded lightly.

"All right, then starting tomorrow."

"We can have some ordinary workers enter the factory one after another."

"Have them complete the production of the external components."

"Then send them together to those twelve disciples."

"To complete the final assembly and inscription of the Soul Guidance Arrays."

At this moment, Feng Yan seemed to suddenly remember something.

He turned his head and looked at Feng Xiaoyuan.

"Xiaoyuan."

"The factory has already been built, and work will officially begin tomorrow."

"Then how should these Soul Guidance Devices we produce be priced?"

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled.

"Father."

"These are all just ordinary civilian-use Soul Guidance Devices."

"Our current goal isn't to make money."

Feng Yan froze when he heard that.

"Not to make money?"

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Exactly."

"First, we need to open up the Soul Guidance Device market among ordinary people."

"Otherwise, the nobles will look down on them, while ordinary people won't be able to afford them."

"That would be a loss for us."

Feng Yan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then you mean..."

Feng Xiaoyuan said slowly, "Soul Guidance Telescopes, Soul Guidance Cameras, and ordinary civilian Soul Guidance Devices like them in the future..."

"We'll set a unified price of one Gold Soul Coin."

Feng Yan's eyes instantly widened when he heard that.

"One Gold Soul Coin?"

"Isn't that too cheap?"

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and explained, "The cost is high right now only because production is too low."

"Once the factory starts operating in the future and we begin mass production, the cost will come down."

"Besides, we won't only be selling ordinary civilian Soul Guidance Devices like these in the future."

Feng Yan pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.

"All right."

"Then we'll do as you say and set the price of these civilian Soul Guidance Devices uniformly at one Gold Soul Coin."

Then Feng Yan asked again, "What about phones?"

"Since they can already be made now, should we sell them as well?"

But Feng Xiaoyuan shook his head without the slightest hesitation.

"Phones can't be sold for the time being."

Feng Yan asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Feng Xiaoyuan explained calmly, "Father."

"Soul Guidance Telescopes and Soul Guidance Cameras are only ordinary daily necessities."

"Even if they're sold, they'll only make people's lives more convenient."

"But phones are different. They're strategic-level items."

"Armies could issue commands across thousands of miles."

"The great sects could also exchange information with one another at any time."

"Even the way wars are fought in the future would change because of them."

"So phones absolutely cannot be sold right now."

After Feng Yan heard this, he fell silent for a long time.

Only then did he slowly nod.

"Indeed."

"It seems I was thinking too simply."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"As for what I promised Uncle Ning before..."

"Once the first batch of phones is finished, send a few to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first."

"As for selling them publicly, now isn't the time."
