It wasn't until Jieming began meticulously organizing all the technologies he possessed that he realized a harsh truth: while his repertoire was vast and each technique was top-rank, only a handful could be sold without reservation.
Some involved his most fundamental secrets, such as the body tempering method or qi refining technique. Others, like the Black Giant and rune-imbued magical artifacts, were strategic trump cards that would be completely revealed if exposed.
After careful consideration, Jieming decided that instead of selling finished technologies, he should focus on the core cultivation methods and knowledge he already possessed. He would modify these fundamental principles to create auxiliary, general-purpose technologies suitable for widespread use among wizards.
He stared at the holographic screen, lost in thought for a moment. His fingers rapidly scrolled through the list of technology names.
Finally, his gaze slowly settled on the Inner Circulation cultivation method.
The complete Inner Circulation method—the cultivation technique from the cultivation system—could not be directly shared. That would be a suicidal move.
Within the cultivation system, each cultivation method possessed unique and valuable capabilities and principles worth studying.
After careful consideration, Jieming concluded that the unique energy circulation pattern within the Inner Circulation method was the most suitable starting point for his "technology monetization" project.
With this decision made, he wasted no time. He immediately activated the massive holographic design interface, his hands dancing across the screen like phantoms as he immersed himself completely in this new endeavor.
Several months later.
Jieming gazed at the colossal magical formation projected across the entire wall of his laboratory. Despite the exhaustion etched on his face, a hint of pride crept into his expression.
"I truly am... a genius!"
Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol
This was the name Jieming had given to his new magical formation—simple, direct, and perfectly aligned with the naming conventions of the wizard civilization.
When activated, the Inner Circulation method not only refined energy to create grotto-heavens but also completely sealed the user's energy within their body, maintaining an extremely stable self-circulating state.
For immortal cultivators, this was merely an insignificant side effect.
It was precisely this side effect that had allowed Jieming to embark on the wizard's path.
Drawing on this insight, he developed the Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol.
Fortunately, the vast and invaluable experience he had accumulated from refining rune-imbued magical artifacts and modifying body tempering methods proved crucial.
Jieming now possessed a profound understanding of how to simulate the flow of "spiritual power" using elemental principles.
He quickly identified the optimal elemental rune configuration.
Using this, Jieming completely isolated the "stable circulation" effect from the Inner Circulation technique and designed a pure elemental version of the magical formation.
The Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol formation operated in a manner remarkably similar to the Inner Circulation cultivation method.
It could completely seal all energy within the formation, preventing any leakage.
Moreover, it maintained the sealed energy in an exceptionally stable state.
At first glance, this might seem unremarkable.
After all, the wizard world abounded with sealing formations capable of containing energy, and numerous methods existed for stabilizing energy.
However, techniques that perfectly combined both functions were rare and prohibitively expensive.
The primary reason for this lies in the fundamentally contradictory and even conflicting nature of these two functional requirements.
Every form of energy possesses its own natural operational wave.
"Energy stabilization" refers to maintaining the smooth continuation of energy's inherent wave pattern.
Once this wave is disrupted by external forces, the energy itself falls into an "unstable" state.
High-isolation class technologies, whether energy shields or spatial barriers, create impenetrable boundaries around a region, making it nearly impossible for energy to cross.
When energy collides with these boundaries, its originally smooth operational wave is severely disrupted, causing instability.
Even existing technologies that simultaneously maintain energy isolation and stabilization are fundamentally limited, much like artificially created ecosystems.
Unless you can provide ample "buffer space" within the isolated region or the energy within the region possesses unique properties, this fragile stability system is prone to collapse.
The key difference between Jieming's Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol and existing technologies lay in this very aspect.
While it couldn't achieve the near-perpetual energy maintenance of a small area like the "Inner Circulation" cultivation method from the cultivation system, which adapted to the world's elemental environment, it was undoubtedly a leader in its class when it came to isolating and stabilizing energy within a limited region.
After a moment's thought, Jieming opened his personal magic net terminal.
Following a complex permission authentication process, he located a dedicated area for the "Second-Tier Cultivation Protocol" within the higher-level network.
Jieming planned to package his Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol and its derivative technologies as intellectual property and list them for public sale on the unified magic network of the Star Ring Federation, the superior wizard faction overseeing the Noren Workshop.
As the Noren Workshop's superior wizard faction, the Star Ring Federation covered a far broader territory, naturally boasting a larger customer base.
Moreover, all transactions on this platform used the more universally accepted "low-tier military merit."
Naturally, the competition here was even fiercer.
Adamantine, for example, had been sold on this platform, but due to the overwhelming number of similar products and intense competition, its sales remained negligible.
However, Jieming was confident in his new technology.
While its performance couldn't match the high-end products in the same category, his technology excelled in its simplicity and affordability.
This allowed him to focus on capturing the "lower-tier market."
The Star Ring Federation's efficiency was astonishing.
Rumor had it that the federation's core database had long ago created a specialized "Rune Artificial Intelligence" that operated continuously on the magic network, processing platform data and transactions.
As soon as Jieming submitted his technical documentation, the review process for the "Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol" was approved almost instantly!
Unexpectedly, after the approval notification, he received a communication request from a "Star Ring Federation Staff Member."
A genuine "Staff Member"!
Jieming stared at the blunt "Staff Member" label on the communication request, feeling somewhat speechless.
After a moment's hesitation, Jieming accepted the communication request.
A slightly mechanical but clearly articulated male voice came through the communicator:
"Good day, Wizard Jieming Noren. I am Felix."
Upon hearing the name "Felix," Jieming couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise.
This name represented the legendary artificial intelligence that controlled the entire magic network of the Star Ring Federation!
He couldn't fathom why such a "high-ranking figure" would contact a mere second-tier wizard like himself.
After all, in terms of energy level, Felix could be considered an eighth-tier half wizard—a top-tier mage!
Felix wasted no time, stating bluntly, "I wish to discuss the sales plan for the Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol technology with you."
"Is there... something wrong with it?" Jieming asked, puzzled.
The standard sales plan for intellectual property on the magic network was straightforward: after a sale, the platform would take a 10% commission on the total revenue.
But the plan proposed by Felix was exceptionally enticing.
"I've reviewed the technology you submitted and would like you to reduce its price to 200 low-tier military merit."
"In exchange, I'll waive the 10% intermediary fee. Moreover, I'll use my authority to promote it comprehensively across the entire Star Ring Federation's magic network."
Jieming quickly calculated the implications in his mind.
While 200 military merits was only one-tenth of his initially proposed price, if Felix, the official Rune Artificial Intelligence, actively promoted it, the sales volume could easily exceed tenfold!
Considering the waived intermediary fee, it was undoubtedly a profitable deal.
Jieming was immediately tempted, but he suppressed his excitement and asked, "May I ask why you specifically approached me?"
Felix patiently explained:
"Your technology triggered our internal Civilization Advancement Basic Treaty."
"Specifically, if a technology meets most of the sixteen criteria outlined in the treaty—such as 'low technical complexity,' 'significant auxiliary or enhancement effects on the current civilization's foundational technologies,' and 'low promotion costs'—we provide official support for its dissemination."
Jieming understood immediately.
The Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol was nothing short of a divine artifact for alchemists, potion masters, and rune master of his rank or lower!
It could dramatically increase their success rates in crafting finished products, saving them vast amounts of resources and time.
Of course, more advanced wizards, who possessed their own specialized techniques to ensure success, would likely dismiss the Protocol's modest assistance.
However, if all low-rank wizards in the wizard civilization could significantly improve their production success rates through this technology, it would, from a macro perspective, indeed advance the civilization's foundational productivity by a small but meaningful step.
No wonder Felix was so insistent on such a drastic price reduction.
His true goal was to disseminate this technology as widely and quickly as possible!
Jieming quickly grasped the situation and, without further hesitation, readily agreed to Felix's terms.
"I agree. May our collaboration be fruitful, Excellency Felix."
"May our collaboration be fruitful, Wizard Jieming."
