Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery Chapter 457 - 457 415 Soul Searching

457: Chapter 415: Soul Searching 457: Chapter 415: Soul Searching “Let’s not even ntion that there are quite a few mistakes in what you’ve said.”

“Even if that is the case.”

Xu Jianian scoffed coldly, “Even if the team has so shortcomings, does that an the scientific research achievents won’t materialize?

Who defined such a rule?

Ridiculous.”

“Whether it’s ridiculous or not isn’t for you to decide.”

Liu Yan cald down and, with a respectful bow, said, “Fellow daoists, our departnt suspects that Tianfang Group has concealed a large portion of its own research and developnt achievents, and after paying patent fees, recklessly utilized our company’s, along with various new research results from the Xiann Sect, to monopolistically dominate the scientific research field.”

“The result is, the more our company researches and develops, the more we end up handing over the fruits of our labor to them.”

“Over these hundreds of years, every ti our company develops a new achievent, right when it’s about to be finalized and released, Tianfang Company always manages to take a step ahead, rendering our years of accumulation and effort completely fruitless.”

Liu Yan’s eyes reddened, and tears began to form, clearly showing his genuine emotions.

If Liu’s Military Industry were to collapse, with his qualifications, reaching Foundation Establishnt would be completely hopeless.

One could say that the company passed down by his great-grandfather was no different from his own life, and he’d dare to contend with even Divinity Transformation in its defense.

“This kind of unfair competition that violates the first principle of the Xiann must be terminated!”

“I ask you fellow daoists for a clear discernnt.”

With another bow, he bent deeply at the waist.

“Concealed a large part of the research achievents?”

Jiang Ding and Luo Zhongfu exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming grave.

To other Immortal Sects and organizations, this might not seem significant, as it is within human nature and understandable.

Who would want to disclose their hard-earned achievents just because of so patent fees?

Isn’t monopoly sweet?

But in the Xiann, this is an enormous cri!

No one is allowed to wantonly enjoy benefits or access advanced scientific research outcos from the Xiann without following its rules.

If such a situation is left unchecked, the current excellent state of knowledge sharing will crumble in an instant.

“My Xu’s are clear and innocent!”

Xu Jianian stated coldly.

The two officials did not respond, silently waiting instead.

More than thirty days later, the mbers of the Economic Investigation Departnt returned, handing over stacks of materials that ford a small mountain before the two officials, an enormous quantity.

Jiang Ding swept over them with his Divine Sense, transmitting the information into the legion’s channel.

“The investigation revealed so tax evasion and avoidance,”

a mber of the Economic Investigation Departnt reported, “as well as the pilfering of bonuses and other issues, involving roughly one billion low-grade Spirit Stones.

As for evidence touching upon the first principle of Xiann…”

He seed troubled.

“It has not yet been discovered.”

“What do you an ‘has not yet been discovered’?”

Xu Jianian revealed a trace of satisfaction, “Fellow daoist, please mind your words.

We admit to the tax evasion and avoidance, but an infringent upon the first principle of Xiann is absolutely unheard of.”

Tax evasion involving ten billion low-grade Spirit Stones and related fines was once a montous event, but now seed rather insignificant, taking a secondary position.

“…Yes, you are correct.”

The employee of the Economic Investigation Departnt said helplessly.

“This is impossible!”

Liu Yan’s face turned deathly pale.

“Impossible?”

Xu Jianian gave a cold laugh, his gaze carrying a hint of murderous intent, “Chief Luo, Swordsman Jiang, it’s ti we discussed the matter of libel.”

Liu Yan and the senior executives of Liu’s Military Industry shivered.

An accusation against the first principle of Xiann is a grave offense, and if substantiated, not only would Liu’s Military Industry face total destruction, but he would also have to spend the latter half of his life in prison.

Luo Zhongfu’s brow furrowed.

The detailed investigation report surfaced, and the personnel matters within the Xu Organization were even worse than what Liu Yan had described.

Over thousands of years, even the direct lineage had proliferated into a substantial population, all of whom needed to be accommodated.

Besides a barely adequate research team, Xu’s R&D capabilities were frightfully low.

A single breakthrough could be acceptable, with luck as an explanation, since many scientific research matters are like that.

But breaking through every hundred years is completely unscientific.

‘Could it be the work of Divinity Transformation?’

Luo Zhongfu looked towards Xu Jianian’s confident expression and began to waver.

If it was the work of Divinity Transformation, all of this would make sense.

A Divinity Transformation would only need to spend twenty or thirty years every century without any assistance and could accomplish it on their own.

This person was a top figure in the industry back then, and Tianfang Group was established on the vast scientific wealth he left behind.

Of course, after betraying the Xiann Sect, the top Immortal Path scientific research had stopped collaborating with him, and he had to explore on his own.

“Do you two intend to pervert justice?”

Seeing the prolonged silence and the lack of replies, Xu Jianian’s gaze turned unfriendly.

“The public tools of the Xiann Sect are not for you to abuse and fra others, and the Xu’s are not weak and easily bullied!”

“This…”

Luo Zhongfu hesitated sowhat.

“Wait a mont.”

Jiang Ding frowned, having not found any issues, and asked, “Senior Luo, is it possible to show the relevant scientific research data to the top scientific talents of the Xiann Sect?”

He absolutely did not believe that any high-level cultivator, after already leaving behind such a vast wealth for their family, would spend so much ti on research in basic military formations that were of no use to their own cultivation base.

It also didn’t make logical sense for the Xu’s to conduct their own research.

Clearly, the lack of discovery was due to their own inadequate scientific research level.

This was also normal, as neither he nor the people from the Economic Investigation Departnt had enough level in Immortal Path scientific research.

“Oh, oh!”

“That’s possible.”

Luo Zhongfu woke up from his reverie: “The Xiann Sect is giving this case a lot of importance.

It’s possible to request assistance from the upper echelons of the Xiann Science Institute.”

His thinking had fallen into a blind spot.

Even within the Xiann Sect, Nascent Soul Monks were among the top cultivators.

If the lower-level cultivators called for help with every issue they couldn’t solve, it would easily beco irritating.

If done too many tis, they could imdiately lose their positions and face a bleak future.

Not to ntion the excuses that ergency situations are rare, and the occasional help wouldn’t take up much ti.

With the multitude of departnts in the Xiann Sect, each one encounters one or two ergency situations every year.

If higher-ups helped with all of them, then Nascent Soul Monks would have nothing to do but work for the lower-level cultivators all day long.

“That, Dari Swordsman.”

Luo Zhongfu was about to report when he paused, gave an awkward laugh, and said, “May I put your na at the very beginning of the report list?

It would draw more attention from our seniors that way.”

“And, it won’t deduct the brothers’ year-end bonuses.”

The Golden Pill and Foundation-building cultivators of the surrounding Economic Investigation Departnt were all eagerly looking this way.

“That’s fine.”

After a mont of thought, Jiang Ding agreed.

He had no salary at the mont, so he wasn’t afraid of deductions.

“Generous!”

Luo Zhongfu was overjoyed and quickly filled in the report with “Jiang Ding” at the very top before sending it off.

The case was of the utmost importance and elicited an imdiate response.

“It’s the Dean of the Xiann Science Institute, Immortal Count Spirit who has taken up the matter!”

Luo Zhongfu’s spirit lifted: “With this big shot’s intervention, as long as there is sothing wrong with Tianfang Group’s scientific research data, it is bound to be noticed.”

Everyone looked over tensely.

Liu Yan was full of hope.

Xu Jianian still appeared overly confident.

With the speed at which a Nascent Soul Monk’s Divine Sense operates, in less than half an hour, the investigation report had already been sent back.

“There really is a problem.”

Luo Zhongfu looked up, excitedly saying, “Immortal Count Spirit says, every hundred years, there are logical flaws in Tianfang Group’s research data, and the inherent conditions are insufficient to derive its results.

This situation has occurred five tis.”

“This conclusion is undergoing layer-by-layer verification by the Xiann Science Institute, and once it is legally confird, this will be significant evidence allowing us to request a harmless Soul Search of the core scientific researchers by the Central Array Spirit Computer.”
