Chapter 487 - Technology Was Top Productive Capability (2/2)

If the items that one brought back was worth more than a thousand spirit stones, then he would have passed the Zone of Trials, and when the time came, he would be upgraded to an “inner disciple.” As compared to an external disciple, an inner disciple was fully accepted as part of the sect and would receive greater and more focused training from the masters. Before going into the Zone, the sect would issue a recording tool that would record all the items gotten from the Zone. Half of the items must be handed over to the sect. The disciple couldn’t conceal any item. The recording tool would automatically record all items even if it was placed in the storage sack. Moreover, most external disciples had the goal of becoming an inner disciple, so nobody wanted to hide anything.

In this case, he would just complete this task. Chen Jin wanted the Base to have better production materials from the immortal world and to use them more effectively, hence he could only become a mover again.

Chen Jin waved his hand and put the identity token on the mission wall. He had collected this task.

Soon, Chen Jin arrived at the Zone of Trials but saw only a few people on a wide and empty meadow. Everyone was minding their own business and busy with their affairs. They seemed to be doing their final preparations.

It didn’t take long before he heard a clear and bright voice, “The door to the Zone of Trials has opened. Everyone, come in once you’re ready.”

Only when the people heard the voice did they start to enter the Zone groups in twos and threes. Chen Jin also followed the crowd and walked in.

“Fellow disciple brother, your current cultivation is too low. Do you also choose to enter the Zone of Trials?” The disciple in charge of the Zone stopped Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was a little depressed, why did they only stop him? There were so many people nearby. But after thinking about it, Chen Jin understood why. He was the only one with a Qi cultivation at the fourth level. Among the others, even those with the lowest Qi cultivation were at least at the seventh level. The highest level had attained the consummate level of Qi cultivation. Stopping him was only a normal thing to do.

“Thank you for your trouble, fellow disciple brother, but I have decided!” Chen Jin looked at the other party with a determined look.

“In this case, I won’t stop you, but it’s better to be careful. Not only are there natural disasters, but there are also ‘man-made disasters.’ Besides our sect’s entrance into the Zone of Trials, other entrances belong to other sects.” The disciple in charge of the Zone looked at Chen Jin. It was as if he was seeing the younger version himself who had just been inducted. At that time, his strength was weak, and he too had come to test the Trials to fulfill the goals that he had. Hence, he kindly reminded Chen Jin.

Chen Jin looked at the disciple, he had a favorable impression of him so he cupped his fist in his other palm in a sign of respect, “Thank you, fellow disciple brother, for your reminder. I will keep your words in mind.”

After that, Chen Jin turned around and entered the passage.

The passage was not long. The distance was about 20 zhang (60 or so meters) and it passed in a flash. Chen Jin walked out of the exit. Before he could even see the scenery, he felt his head spinning and his vision blurring. He disappeared from the exit without a trace.

The ground was covered with grayish-black water; a muddy puddle that spewed out pink smoke continuously, grotesquely twisted branches. Under his feet were as blood-red weeds that he had never seen before. A strange acrid smell permeated the air. This was the scene that he saw and felt when he first arrived.

Although the landforms were a bit unique, Chen Jin had nothing to fear. The first thing was not to size up the environment but to throw the recording tool straight back to the base in Haierfa. Then, no matter how powerful the recording tool was, there was no way that it could record anything.

Then Chen Jin took out a large number of ultimate neutrinos from the storage ring and disperse them. After all, the strange place that he had arrived in probably did not have a very large area. These neutrinos should be able to help him build a complete map. These neutrinos had an upload speed of 100k per second upload speed, and they could travel at nearly the same speed as light. It shouldn’t take long for the map to be made. As long as a map was constructed, he would know where the treasures were, where the danger lay, where were the dead ends, the through roads, etc. Everything would be clear at a glance. It would be less likely that he would take the wrong roads or the detours and he could also do real-time monitoring of the different areas.

Thinking of these, Chen Jin smiled to himself. He could not help but sigh in appreciation, “Indeed, technology is the top productive capability and force.”
