Over there, five drones were printing out the palace in full swing. Yi Xuan realized that the project wouldn't be finished anytime soon, so he took out a table, chairs, benches, and tea set from his Storage Bag, intending to wait while drinking tea.

Seeing Yi Xuan's actions, the other three also sat down around the table in perfect unison, watching Yi Xuan methodically wash the tea.

"Kid, I underestimated you. It seems teaching you this Puppet Technique was the right thing to do. But can't you focus on improving your strength? This thing is good, but what if you encounter a strong enemy? You can't just build a house for someone and expect them to let you go, can you?"

The old woman pointed to the drone that was working and said.

Yi Xuan knew that the old lady meant well. After all, the Cultivation Realm was a place where strength was respected. Without strength, no matter how good the things were, they would only be a wedding dress for others.

Of course, the Supreme Elder's worries were somewhat unnecessary. He had no idea what kind of power this Azure Cloud Sect Protector possessed.

Or rather, the entire Azure Cloud Sect, including Xiao Anhe, was unaware of Yi Xuan's current strength, and even Yi Xuan himself did not have a clear understanding of his own abilities.

This might be the difference between cultivation and technology. In the former case, the entire system seems to be a hierarchical structure. Although cross-level battles do occur, they are extremely rare among cultivators.

The hierarchical suppression among cultivators is like an invisible chasm that cannot be crossed easily.

But science and technology are different. Because of the sheer number and complexity of its disciplines, it is impossible to distinguish between two disciplines within the scientific system.

Every discipline has its own advantages.

To give an analogy, cultivators are like numbers; one is one, and two is two.

One can never be bigger than two.

Technology, on the other hand, is a calculation formula. Once you find the right method and principle, forget about one or two; it will directly calculate infinity for you, and see if you panic.

Yi Xuan poured tea for the other three, and said with a smile, "Elder, please rest assured, when have I ever caused you any worry? Besides, aren't you and Master here? Who would dare to provoke you?"

After hearing Yi Xuan's words, the old lady and Xiao Anhe exchanged a glance and shook their heads with wry smiles.

If we were to name the people in the entire Azure Cloud Sect who understand Yi Xuan best, it would undoubtedly be these two standing before us.

They knew in their hearts that Yi Xuan was definitely not the kind of person who didn't try hard enough, but because he Rootless Person, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.

The Puppet Technique that the old woman had taught him could solve his strength problem, so he naturally treated it as a lifeline and studied it desperately. Otherwise, why couldn't we see him for the past six months?

It was obvious that the two had misunderstood Yi Xuan. Although Puppet Technique was indeed more profound than other Cultivation Method in the world of the Cultivation Realm, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to science.

Although Yi Xuan has not fully mastered the Puppet Technique yet, it is not because he is not trying hard enough, but because he feels it is unnecessary.

The human brain has a limited capacity. Even if a cultivator's physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, the improvement of their brain is not unlimited.

In contrast to the brain's capacity, knowledge is limitless, so Yi Xuan is generally selective when absorbing knowledge.

Knowledge like Puppet Technique, which originated in the Cultivation Realm world, may be impressive in both depth and breadth, but it hasn't been systematically organized, and there's a lot of irrelevant and repetitive content in it.

Therefore, Yi Xuan first organizes and summarizes it through No. 01, and then extracts the knowledge that may be useful to Yi Xuan before learning and absorbing it.

Yi Xuan knew that the two had misunderstood each other, but he did not intend to explain.

With Puppet Technique as a backdrop, Yi Xuan's technology seems even more plausible.

With Puppet Technique as a shield, Yi Xuan believed that the obstacles he would face in promoting technology in the Cultivation Realm would be significantly reduced.

Seeing that Yi Xuan remained silent, the old lady took a sip of tea and asked, "Young Yi, you've been receiving the Puppet Technique for over half a year now. Is there anything you don't understand? Since I have some free time now, I'll explain it to you!"

Yi Xuan had no doubts about Puppet Technique, but upon hearing the old lady's words, Yi Xuan nodded excitedly.

He then raised his right hand, revealing the bracelet on it, and said, "Elder, Master, I do have some questions I'd like to ask you, but they're not about Puppet Technique!"

The two didn't say anything after hearing Yi Xuan's words, but simply gestured for Yi Xuan to continue.

Yi Xuan then shook his raised right hand and said, "Master, Supreme Lord, can you sense what this thing on my wrist has to do with the five puppets cultivating in the palace over there?"

Indeed, Yi Xuan had never understood why Nascent Soul Realm stage expert could sense the existence of electromagnetic waves.

This problem hasn't had a significant impact on Yi Xuan yet, simply because Yi Xuan hasn't deployed signals over a large area.

Signal coverage is inevitable, and Yi Xuan doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers in his signal layout, so he took this opportunity to ask.

Before the old lady could even use her Divine Sense to perceive it, Xiao Anhe spoke calmly, "I wanted to ask you about it after we defeated the Gazing Immortal Sect last time, but since you didn't bring it up, I've kept putting it off! I know you have many unknown methods, like the way you dealt with the Artifact Spirit in the Artifact Ruins. I'm sure I was no match for you!"

Yi Xuan didn't hide his knowledge of technology from his sect, so it was normal for Xiao Anhe to guess some things from the clues. Yi Xuan just scratched his head and chuckled a little embarrassedly.

"So this is what you made? No wonder I'd never seen this before. Turns out, in the last year or two, it's practically filled the entire Azure Cloud Sect!"

The old woman sensed it for a moment and then spoke up.

What he said was right. It was precisely because the technology under Yi Xuan's control had begun to develop rapidly in the past two years that a significant increase in signal strength was inevitable.

Outside of the Azure Cloud Sect, things were alright; apart from a few specific locations, Yi Xuan didn't blindly lay out signals.

However, Azure Cloud Sect is, after all, Yi Xuan's stronghold, especially with No. 1 Base below it. If the old patriarch's perception of the Azure Cloud Sect was a blank a few years ago, now it's as if Azure Cloud Sect is covered by a spider web.

These spider webs are not very noticeable to the naked eye, but if one is attentive, Nascent Soul expert can still easily sense them. This refers to the three Supreme Elders of the Azure Cloud Sect.
