Li Xian was stunned and muttered to himself: "It is indeed difficult!"
The people with the highest cultivation in Anyang now should be Yan Ze'an and Yan Zhengqing. After all, one was once the prime minister of the State of Cai, and the other was a general of the State of Cai, so they have some cultivation. If they had not been betrayed by the State of Cai, the small Anyang really could not accommodate these two people.
Next are some generals who have recently made progress in their cultivation.
In fact, the fact that Anyang now has more than a dozen Jindan stage masters is already amazing; an ordinary county only has three or five of them - in the open; even in the entire Daxia Kingdom, there are not many Jindan stage masters.
The Nascent Soul Stage is almost a legendary existence, an existence that can be called an "ancestor".
Zhou Likun seemed a little embarrassed. "Master, the art of formation is profound. It is different from cultivation. Cultivation is relatively simple. Just follow the method. But the formation has been accumulated for countless thousands of years and is extremely complicated. There are very few people who specialize in one formation, and those who can be called masters are rare. This requires not only talent, but also time and a high level of perception. Therefore, only Yuanying stage masters are qualified to become masters."
Li Xian nodded, knowing that what Zhou Likun said was true; people's energy is always limited, so "specialization" is inevitable. The formation is a huge system that runs through almost every aspect of cultivation. From the skills to the magic weapons, from the alchemy furnace of the elixir to the general situation of the world, the formation is needed. Even the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the geomancy are a variation of the formation.
Therefore, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to master the formation, gain widespread recognition, or even become a master. Then it is easy to understand the fact that Xiao Yuquan is a master of the Nascent Soul Stage.
But, a Yuanying-stage master! Li Xian was so worried. Why should he invite a Yuanying-stage master to be his guest? To be more precise, why should he let a Yuanying-stage ancestor obey his orders
Li Xian was very clear about one thing - all scientific research must be in his own hands, and there was no room for negotiation. Even in today's conversation, not a single word would be leaked. Technology was the foundation of Li Xian's foothold in this world.
Li Xian saw it clearly. Although this fairyland had no technology, it just lacked guidance. After tens of thousands of years of development, it basically had everything it needed. As long as there was guidance and his thoughts were leaked, it would be difficult for him to maintain his advantage.
Therefore, Li Xian kept the idea very secret; the products can be sold and must be sold, but the idea is absolutely confidential. Therefore, Li Xian does not accept the so-called cooperation; therefore, how to convince a Yuanying stage master is extremely difficult.
Most importantly, what if this Nascent Soul cultivator had evil intentions? Li Xian had no ability to resist!
After hesitating for a long time, Li Xian finally had to suppress this impulse temporarily. "Let's talk about this later. Let me talk about the internal combustion engine. Do you have any questions about the internal combustion engine I talked about a few days ago? If not, the engine department will take over and officially start research. In addition, the locomotive, ship, and aircraft factories will be responsible for supervision and build internal combustion engines suitable for them."
