Chapter 36 Daily Production of Flying Swords
Shaping and fusing arrays; rinse and repeat.
Very soon, ten hours had passed. “Phew!”
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Chen Daoxuan felt very refreshed.
He had never felt so refreshed as he was today.
He found that when he replaced the most complicated and laborious part of the refining process with the spirit smelting furnace, refining became abnormally easy.
It was like a burly man, who was originally carrying several hundred kilograms of goods, had suddenly been relieved of ninety-nine percent of his burden; he felt as if he was flying Under normal circumstances, even if Chen Daoxuan had the cheat-like assistance of the Hong Meng Enlightenment Sutra in refining, every time he finished refining a spiritual artifact, he would still feel completely exhausted, and it would take him at least a few days to recover.
It was even more so for ordinary refiners.
According to what Chen Daoxuan knew, even if a high-grade first-tier refiner wanted to refine a low-grade first-grade spiritual artifact, the fastest he could do so was only in seven days.
It was not that ordinary refiners really needed seven days to refine a spiritual artifact. Rather, after refining for three days and three nights, refiners needed to meditate to recover their true Qi and spiritual sense.
The replenishment of true Qi was still acceptable; after all, pills that replenished True qi were relatively common, but spiritual sense was different. Every single pill that could recover spiritual sense was expensive and, if one was unlucky, they would not even be able to buy it.
Therefore, in summary, it was already considered pretty good that ordinary refiners could refine one low-grade first-grade spiritual artifact in seven days. Moreover, refining artifacts so frequently would inevitably delay their own cultivation. One had to know that the most painful thing for cultivators was to delay their own cultivation.
Therefore, the clans and sects in the immortal cultivation world could only use medicinal pills and other auxiliary treasures to make up for the lost cultivation time of their artifact refiners.
This was a large expense on their part, and was also the reason why immortal cultivation clans and sects clearly had the ability to train more artifact refiners, but often chose to only train enough artifact refiners to meet their own clan or sect needs.
This was because it was simply unrealistic to rely on refiners to refine low-grade spiritual artifacts to make money.
The profits of low-grade spiritual artifacts were low to begin with, and the resources needed to nurture a refiner were high, not to mention their consumption.
Thus, no cultivation faction was willing to do something like this.
The ‘consumption’ here did not only refer to the consumption of spirit ores and other raw materials, but also the consumption of cultivation resources such as the pills to restore true Qi and medicinal pills to assist in cultivation.
Furthermore, it was almost impossible for an itinerant cultivator to become a refiner or an alchemist.
First of all, they did not possess an inheritance. Secondly, there was no one who could or would teach them. Most importantly, itinerant cultivators were so poor that they could not even get their hands on enough spiritual essence to cultivate. How could they have the spare energy or resources to try and learn something as resource-intensive as refining artifacts?
It was much more feasible for them to learn how to be a spirit planter than a refiner. At the very least, studying to be a spirit planter would not require such a large consumption of resources.
Therefore, this was also the reason why the majority of itinerant cultivators lacked spiritual artifacts and had no choice but to use spiritual artifacts that had been used and replaced by others.
However, this situation would be completely upended by the spirit smelting furnace, which was an era-defining object. Today, in just 10 hours, the newly built Hongyin Flying Sword Workshop had produced five flying swords!
Everything was in a better state than Chen Daoxuan had expected. The people at the factory worked an average of 10 hours each, but not a single worker made a single mistake.
Producing five flying swords in one day was an excellent start for the Hongyin Flying Sword Workshop.
Compared to an ordinary refiner, who could only refine a spiritual artifact every seven days, Chen Daoxuan’s production efficiency was exactly thirty-five times that of the other party.

This was the power of industrial production.
Chen Daoxuan was clear that his current achievements were considered laughable compared to the fully intelligent and automated factories of his previous life.
However, in this world where refiners had to refine everything manually and personally, and alchemists were reliant on their flames…
He was already this world’s top achiever in terms of productivity.
Even though the quality of the spiritual artifacts produced by their factory was still relatively low and the variety was also very limited, based on the current results and output, he firmly believed that the direction he chose to develop in was completely correct.
After examining all of the Red Shadow flying swords, he found that there were no problems. Chen Daoxuan’s face was full of smiles. Inside the factory, for a whole day, Chen Liangyu had been busy resolving logistical issues and managing everyone’s work schedules without rest.
It could be said that Chen Daoxuan had managed to work together with everyone very well today, resulting in the factory’s smooth production process and output; Chen Liangyu’s contribution to this outcome was indispensable.

Otherwise, regardless of which segment encountered problems, it would delay the entire assembly line and affect the production process.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Chen Liangyu moved closer to Chen Daoxuan and said, “Young clan leader, you’ve worked hard.”
Seeing that the young clan leader was personally working on the production line for the sake of the development of the clan, Chen Liangyu sincerely admired him.
Of course, Chen Daoxuan did not want to work in a factory after transmigrating, even if that factory belonged to the clan, and the clan was under his control.
However, he was the boss, and who would be willing to work if he did not?
Chen Daoxuan had no choice but to go to the frontlines personally.
After all, he was the only refiner in the Chen clan.
Looking at Chen Liangyu’s sweaty face, Chen Daoxuan shook his head and smiled.
“It’s not hard at all. By the way, how are the materials for tomorrow’s refining?” Chen Daoxuan asked casually.
“They’re all ready, but…”
Chen Liangyu looked like he wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”
Chen Daoxuan frowned and said with slight dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Chen Liangyu made up his mind and said, “Young clan leader, we only have about 1,800 kilograms of red copper ore in the factory’s warehouse. According to the rate of consumption today, it will all be used up in a month at most.”
As he said this, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Chen Daoxuan. Seeing that there was no strange expression on his face, he felt slightly relieved.
“Sigh.”
Chen Daoxuan sighed. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Our clan only had about 600 kilograms of red copper ore in storage. In addition, the spiritual stones in our clan’s treasury were only enough to buy 1,200 kilograms of red copper ore. That’s why we are short on raw materials.”
Chen Daoxuan frowned when he said this.
It was a pity that Guang’an Prefecture did not have a financial loan business. Otherwise, he would have borrowed a large sum of money to invest into production.
“However, this is also a good thing. Our products will be sold in Guang’an Prefecture in a month’s time. When we receive a return on our investment, we will definitely be able to further expand production.”
After learning under Chen Daoxuan for a month, not only did Chen Liangyu have a strong immunity to some of the new terms that he would occasionally come up with, but he could also roughly guess the meaning of these terms.
It had to be said that a person’s ability to adapt was extremely terrifying.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Chen Daoxuan waved his hand. “Have you recorded the consumption of raw materials and the production output of flying swords today?”
“Reporting to the young clan leader, your subordinate has recorded them all.”
“En, that’s good.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded his head in satisfaction, “Right now, our shop is still relatively small but, one day, our shop will become bigger and bigger. You have to learn to record all the data of our consumption of raw materials, the number of qualified products, the number of waste products, and so on in detail, so that you can refer to them in the future.”
Remember! This matter concerns the interests of the clan. You must not be careless.”
“Yes, your subordinate will definitely keep a record of all of the accounts of the factory. There won’t be any omissions.” Chen Liangyu guaranteed.

Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan was slightly relieved. Chen Liangyu had been the manager of the red copper mine for so many years, but he had not made a single mistake.
Chen Daoxuan was still more at ease with him handling matters.
Seeing the smile on Chen Daoxuan’s face, Chen Liangyu bowed slightly and said, “Young clan leader, today is the big day that marks the beginning of our factory’s production. I have prepared a banquet at the residence. Young clan leader, please come and join us.”
Hearing this, Chen Daoxuan glanced at the other party and nodded, “Then, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Young clan leader’s presence at my humble abode really brings light to my humble abode.” Chen Liangyu said with a smile.
