Scientific Cultivation: I Made My Sect Number One by Working Everyone to the Bone

What happens when cultivation meets blockchain? Will spiritual energy run dry, or will civilization level up? The spirit power in the Qingyan Sect's protective formation is down to 1%. Five thousand cultivators from the Chiyan Sect are massed at their gates. As the elders clutch their jade slips of inherited techniques, ready to die with the sect, Ling Feng is dragging a handyman toward the latrine. A mixture of vinegar-jar acid and mineral slag has produced methane, which powers a defensive formation made from a hundred discarded swords. The golden liquid seeping from the cracks even repairs broken blades on its own. “Spirit crystals are hard currency?” He brandishes the Heavenly Dao Chain White Paper and uses leverage to topple a boulder. A spectrometer reveals Spirit-Eating Gold inside the Chiyan Sect's spirit swords. “Starting today, the cultivation world will settle transactions with tokens.” Wang Xiaohu, whose data spirit root has awakened, can see the code behind spiritual energy. Business prodigy Qian Duoduo controls the market by taking Nascent Souls as collateral for loans, while in Ling Feng's laboratory, the golden liquid is being used to cultivate spirit herbs that mine automatically. As traditional cultivators denounce this as “a desecration of the immortal path,” the Shadow Net's dark-spirit virus has already begun quietly infiltrating the spirit-root database. Should they cling to the old ways and the feng shui of spiritual energy, or rebuild the cultivation system with the laws of computing power? “The server left behind by Grandmaster Jiang Wan three hundred years ago is ready to be switched on.” Ling Feng plunges his black-iron sword into the forbidden ground. Patterns of golden liquid form chain code across the earth. “By the way, want to trade 100,000 tokens for the Shadow Net main server's coordinates?”
