Chapter 591: Chapter 543: You have the Skull Top, I have the Wolf Fang Club!

Dushuo Mountain, a corner of Taoyuan.

While the outside world had already plunged into night, here, under the control of the "Red Snake Coiling Seal Formation," the sky remained brilliantly bright, as lit as day.

Clang clang clang...

The machinery roared, pipes crisscrossed everywhere, and the scorching steam surged through copper pipes, powering the increasingly colossal and yet more cumbersome processing factories at each level.

This place had only three Green Seal Level "Jade Mansion Thunder Pivots."

They came from the Peach God Tao’s "Six Dao Ghost Dragons," Heaven Righteous Dharma Dao’s "Earth Mother Dark Sky," and Qingtian Righteous Law Path’s "Child Rejuvenation Immortal."

While the perpetual motion machine-like energy was cheap,

after output, it needed to first boil hot water, then rely on high-pressure steam as a medium to strike the turbine blades and drive thousands of various types of cumbersome machines.

Even though they were only of the Green Seal Level "Immortal Fruit," just below the highest grade Purple Seal "No-Life Fruit," their efficiency was almost fully exploited.

The high-pressure steam lost too much in transit, and beyond a certain distance from the "Jade Mansion Thunder Pivot," it would completely lose its practicality.

After all, whether it was technological industry or Daoist Skill Industry, the most terrifying power was the ability to rapidly proliferate through self-fission.

Provided that capital was injected, it could continuously transform into production capacity, eventually forming the "compound interest" of money generating money,

propelling the industry to grow at an exponential rate.

But none of these could be achieved under the current technological conditions.

Unless...

"Success! We have electricity, we have electricity, our thermal power generation system has finally been developed!"

The deafening cheers of the R&D department echoed through most of Taoyuan.

A group of researchers, born in the Dragon Elephant Tao’s Qilin Sect and the Taiyin Xuanbing Dao’s Mystical Weapon Temple, with heartrendingly thinning hair, hugged each other and jumped for joy.

Next to them, a "Jade Mansion Thunder Pivot" used for experiments and made from a Yellow Seal "Supply Fruit," bellowed like a wild beast,

releasing ferocious thermal energy, creating high-pressure steam that drove a turbine to rotate at high speed.

But this time it did not connect directly to the machine’s drive shaft, but to a... large-scale generator!

The transformed electric current flowed along the copper wire, and in a moment, it traveled from one end of Taoyuan to the other, starting a newly modified electric loom.

Xu Wenkang and his wife Xiao Fu, both versed in machinery and textile, personally operated it, gradually weaving an exquisite cotton fabric, comparable to a work of art.

"It’s a miracle, this Heavenly Thunder can actually power the machines!"

"Old Master Wang’s textile factory can finally expand further, even reaching beyond Dushuo Mountain to benefit the masses."

Following the original research plan, they finally created a prototype on the last day of the First Month.

This epoch-making invention immediately attracted the response of the native Heavenly Dao.

A vast area of "Heavenly Dao’s Favor" slowly condensed over Taoyuan, forming bright verdant clouds, flocking towards the R&D department.

According to the merit of their contributions, it descended upon the heads of all participants.

Cui Yue, the lead researcher, along with the two factory directors involved, and several workers, everyone received a share.

The Taoist ability of this group of Magicians soared to the next realm’s threshold in just a breath, simply waiting to be promoted after completing the Ritual.

Even their gradually thinning hair, to everyone’s surprise, started to grow back.

After recovering from their ecstatic state, Cui Yue knelt with the other researchers "putong" on the ground,

lit incense sticks, and bowed deeply to a statue of Wang Yuan erected in a corner of the testing ground.

Cui Yue, the head of the R&D department, was so moved that he wept, wailing aloud:

"Star Lord Taibai is truly the guiding light for us, a rebirth of our parents!

Please accept this disciple’s kneeling worship!"

Their sincerity was such that one could hardly tell if they were worshiping gods and Buddha or were engaged in solemn scientific research.

It was no wonder these people were so excited.

The "Heavenly Dao’s Favor" they received this time was not a one-time benefit.

As the Daoist Skill Industry 2.0, represented by electricity, rolled out, the major technological advancements were yet to come—and they were waiting for them.

The group was red-faced with excitement, immensely grateful they had joined Old Master Wang’s ranks, risking shattering their bones in the "All Living Beings Tribulation."

The chance for gaining Tao through Merit seemed to be just within reach!

Their surging emotions turned into prayers before Star Lord Taibai’s statue:

"Old Master Wang above, only those with no contribution to society need rest; we pillars of the community ought to serve the masses!

Old Master, I want to work, I wish to never retire!

If this job must have a deadline, I hope it is ten thousand years!"

When these people knelt to Old Master Wang, they were far more sincere than when kneeling to their own Grandmaster, Cloud Lord or Taishang.

To work for ten thousand years?

Isn’t that the same as attaining Immortality?

This prayer also profoundly expounded the notion:

I’m not against working overtime; if the price is right, even if I die young, on the first seventh day following my death, I’d first come to punch in at work.

In the name of longevity... ah no, in service of the people, I beg Old Master Wang to use me harshly!

At this time, apart from this group in the "Daoist Skill Industrial Revolution" R&D department, there was hardly a free person anywhere else on Dushuo Mountain.

After all, in the Blood and Sweat Factory of Dushuo Mountain, one could rest only two hours every three days.

Workers did not need the Thunder God to wake them, as they were all toiling with eyes wide open.

The grand "Modern Medical System" project was still a tremendous undertaking, and Sage Wu, an avatar of Emperor Bao Sheng, was leading his disciples in a strenuous struggle.
