Chapter 33: Cultivation Plan
Regarding the massive slaughter that would envelop the entire Blue Star after the alien forces' interstellar colonization ship descended five years later, the gray mirror provided a total of 6,637 solutions based on Su Yuan's current situation.
For example—
[Using existing materials on Blue Star, construct a small spacecraft to leave Blue Star in four years. The spacecraft would drift through space for 964 years before encountering a cosmic merchant alliance fleet. Through this merchant alliance fleet, you could join the cosmic human empire circle...]
And another example.
[Abandon your physical body, integrate your consciousness into Blue Star's network, transforming into an information-lifeform, immersing yourself in the deepest parts of Blue Star's network. After the alien forces purge all life on Blue Star, they would restart Blue Star's network in 95 years, connecting it to the cosmic human empire's macro network. At that time, using the connection channel between them, integrate into the cosmic human empire's macro network, then transform from an information-lifeform back into a physical lifeform...]
Yet another example.
[Create a planetary core detonator to threaten the alien forces by blowing up Blue Star, gaining an opportunity to leave Blue Star. Afterwards, the alien forces would hunt you down, and you only need to... to escape pursuit...]
......
The thousands of solution methods provided by the gray mirror could all help Su Yuan completely and safely escape the alien forces' slaughter without any hidden dangers.
And from these thousands of solutions, Su Yuan ultimately chose the method of confronting the alien forces' interstellar colonization ship.It wasn't that Su Yuan was merciful or pitied the lives on Blue Star.
Rather, this method offered the greatest benefits for Su Yuan, and it also wasn't particularly difficult.
He only needed to follow the plan provided by the gray mirror step by step.
......
Collecting his thoughts, Su Yuan stood up.
"Have you found all the medicinal herbs I asked you to look for?"
Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien and asked.
Several days earlier, Su Yuan had notified Tang Zhien to send subordinates to certain remote mountainous areas to search for potent herbs.
These locations were scattered throughout the country, all places Su Yuan had identified by consulting the gray mirror as containing external resources suitable for Level 1 lifeform cultivation.
If Su Yuan had to search for them himself one by one, it would take at least half a month, or eight to ten days.
But entrusting it to Tang Zhien was much more convenient, as Zhou Pharmaceutical had employees throughout the country.
Moreover, these potent herbs weren't Blood Lingzhi—they were just located in remote places without surrounding dangers, and didn't require Su Yuan's constant guidance for harvesting.
"They've all been found."
Tang Zhien immediately replied, while feeling shock rising in his heart.
He had strictly followed Su Yuan's instructions, sending people to those specific locations to search, and they had all found results. Numerous ancient herbs worth fortunes seemed to be growing there just waiting for them to harvest.
Next.
Su Yuan took some of the potent herbs and left the Zhou Family Old Residence.
Ten minutes later.
Tang Zhien received a set of construction blueprints, along with specific coordinates and a name list.
"Sir wants to build a laboratory..."
Tang Zhien glanced over them briefly, deep in thought.
"This location is at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Magic City... this abandoned factory was originally a pharmaceutical plant established by Zhou Pharmaceutical years ago..."
Tang Zhien suddenly realized.
Even veteran employees of Zhou Pharmaceutical didn't know that abandoned factory belonged to Zhou Pharmaceutical. Tang Zhien only realized it after seeing it and carefully thinking back.
Yet Su Yuan directly chose to build the laboratory at this abandoned factory.
This meant Su Yuan already knew this abandoned factory belonged to Zhou Pharmaceutical.
"'Sir' definitely controls a massive intelligence network..." Tang Zhien thought to himself.
"And this list..." Tang Zhien looked at the final name list.
The information Su Yuan sent consisted of three parts: laboratory blueprints, specific coordinates, and the name list.
"These..."
Tang Zhien opened the list, which contained hundreds of names.
Most of these hundreds of names were Zhou Pharmaceutical employees, along with some architects from Xia Country for the direct construction of this laboratory.
"Have Zhou Yu take charge of this laboratory's construction."
At the end of the list was this line of text.
"'Sir' has considered everything so thoroughly..."
Tang Zhien felt admiration inwardly. He had been worrying about which people to select for constructing this laboratory.
After all, building a laboratory wasn't an easy task—it required not only substantial financial resources but also significant manpower.
Financially, Tang Zhien wasn't concerned, as Zhou Pharmaceutical had ample funds.
But manpower? Especially the personnel selection for laboratory construction...
Yet now, Su Yuan had completely resolved the problem that troubled Tang Zhien the most.
......
Jinshan Villa District, Villa 66.
Su Yuan sat cross-legged in the meditation room, with a laptop computer placed in front of him.
The name list he sent to Tang Zhien consisted of personnel carefully screened by Su Yuan through the gray mirror.
Su Yuan's primary requirement for this laboratory was secrecy.
However, constructing a laboratory involved numerous aspects, with at least hundreds of people participating.
Under such circumstances, maintaining secrecy was very difficult.
Even with prior confidentiality agreements, absolute information containment couldn't be guaranteed.
The effectiveness of confidentiality agreements depended on the people involved.
Precisely because of this, Su Yuan specifically selected this group of people.
This group had been confirmed by the gray mirror as highly reliable individuals who would keep their promises and not leak any information about this laboratory within the next five years.
As for having Zhou Yu serve as the construction supervisor... this was because Zhou Yu had already developed an instinctive obedience to Su Yuan's commands by now.
Not much different from Tang Zhien.
......
After resolving the laboratory construction matters.
Su Yuan began contemplating his next cultivation plan.
Compared to the cultivation plan from Level 0 lifeform to Level 1 lifeform.
The cultivation plan from Level 1 lifeform to Level 2 lifeform formulated by the gray mirror was somewhat more complex.
From Level 1 lifeform to Level 2 lifeform, Su Yuan needed to undergo twenty cultivation sessions, with three-day intervals between each session.
This meant that for Su Yuan to become a Level 2 lifeform, he needed sixty days, or two months.
"Half a month for Level 1 lifeform, two months for Level 2 lifeform..."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.
His cultivation speed.
Even placed among those powerful forces in the cosmic depths, would be considered quite fast.
And this was under the premise of Blue Star's scarce auxiliary cultivation resources.
If compared with cultivators on Blue Star, it wasn't even on the same level of cultivation speed.
Taking Xia Country's cultivation world as an example, progressing from Visible Force to Embracing Elixir Grandmaster, even if everything went smoothly without any bottlenecks, would require at least forty-three years.
This data was provided by the gray mirror—throughout Xia Country's thousands of years of history, the youngest Embracing Elixir Grandmaster was forty-three years old.
As for Level 2 True Elixir Celestial, it required ninety-six years.
From Visible Force to True Elixir Celestial, the fastest would take ninety-six years.
This period was filled with various uncertainties, bottleneck constraints, breakthrough failures, and so on.
Yet for Su Yuan, crossing these stages required only two and a half months.
Moreover, this crossing involved simultaneous advancement in all six dimensions, with difficulty many times greater than normal national martial arts cultivation.
