Only after Jie Ming seriously began sorting through his mastered technologies did he face a harsh reality—while he possessed a wide array of top-tier techniques, few could be sold without hesitation!
So, like his Body Forging thod or Qi Refinent thod, were tied to his deepest secrets. Others, like the Black Giant or runic artifacts, were strategic trump cards that would expose his hand if revealed.
After careful consideration, Jie Ming decided that instead of selling finished techniques, he’d start with the fundantal “thods” and knowledge he’d mastered.
He would develop auxiliary, versatile technologies suited for widespread use among wizards.
He fell into thought before the screen.
His fingers rapidly swiped through technical nas.
Finally, his gaze settled on the Internal Circulation thod.
The complete Internal Circulation thod, a cultivation technique from the immortal system, couldn’t be shared outright.
That would be suicidal.
However, each thod in the cultivation system had unique, valuable abilities and insights.
After careful deliberation, Jie Ming concluded that the unique energy circulation model of the Internal Circulation thod was the perfect entry point for his “tech monetization”.
With that decided, he wasted no ti. He opened the massive design screen, his hands dancing like phantoms across it, fully imrsing himself in this new project.
Months later.
Jie Ming gazed at the enormous formation projected across an entire wall of his laboratory. Despite his exhausted expression, a trace of pride shone through.
“I really am… a genius!”
[Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol]
That was the na he gave this new formation.
Simple, straightforward, and perfectly aligned with the wizarding civilization’s naming conventions.
When the Internal Circulation thod operated, it not only refined energy to create an inner grotto but also sealed all the user’s energy within their body, maintaining an extrely stable self-sustaining cycle.
This was a minor side effect for cultivators.
But it was precisely this side effect that had once allowed Jie Ming to step onto the path of wizardry.
Thus, he developed the [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol].
Thanks to his vast experience from crafting runic artifacts and modifying the Body Forging thod, Jie Ming had developed his own expertise in simulating spiritual energy with elental patterns.
He quickly identified the optimal elental rune structure.
Using this, he isolated the “stable circulation” effect from the Internal Circulation thod and designed a purely elental version of the formation.
The [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol] formation mirrored the effect of the Internal Circulation thod during operation.
It could completely seal all energy within the formation, preventing any leakage.
Moreover, it maintained the sealed energy in an extrely stable state.
This might not sound impressive.
After all, in the wizarding world, there were many formations for sealing energy and stabilizing it.
But technologies combining both were rare and expensive.
The main reason was that these two functions were fundantally opposing, even conflicting.
Every type of energy had its natural fluctuation pattern.
“Energy stabilization” ant allowing energy to flow smoothly along its inherent pattern.
If this pattern was disrupted by external forces, the energy would beco unstable.
“Strong isolation” techniques, like energy shields or spatial barriers, created boundaries that energy struggled to cross.
When energy hit these boundaries, its natural flow was disrupted, leading to instability. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI[F]ire
Even existing technologies that combined “energy isolation” and “energy stabilization” were akin to artificial ecosystems, heavily restricted.
Unless the isolated area had sufficient “buffer space” or the energy itself was unique, the fragile “stability” system would easily collapse.
The biggest difference with Jie Ming’s [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol] lay here.
While it couldn’t achieve the near-“semi-permanent” energy system operation of the cultivation system’s Internal Circulation thod due to the elental environnt, it was a standout among similar technologies for small-scale energy isolation and stabilization!
After so thought, Jie Ming opened his personal magic network terminal.
After navigating complex permission verifications, he accessed a restricted area for “Level-Two Cultivation Protocols”.
He planned to package his [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol] and its derivative technologies as “intellectual property” and list it for public sale on the unified magic network under the Star Ring Federation, the higher authority over Noren Workshop.
As the superior wizarding force, the Star Ring Federation covered a much broader scope with far more clients.
Transactions on this platform used the more universal “low-level rits”.
Of course, the competition here was fiercer.
Refined gold had been listed here but struggled due to oversaturation and intense competition, resulting in ager sales.
However, Jie Ming was confident in his new technology.
While it couldn’t match high-end products in performance, it excelled in lower difficulty and cheaper costs!
It was perfect for capturing the “lower-tier market”.
The Star Ring Federation’s efficiency was astonishingly fast.
Rumor had it their core database employed a dedicated “rune artificial intelligence” permanently linked to the magic network to handle platform information and transactions.
Indeed, the mont Jie Ming submitted his technical data, the review process for the [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol] was approved!
To his surprise, after the approval notice, he received a communication request from a “Star Ring Federation Staff mber”.
An actual “staff mber”!
Jie Ming stared at the blunt [Staff mber] label on the request, feeling a bit speechless.
After a mont’s hesitation, he accepted the call.
A slightly chanical but clear male voice ca through the communicator:
“Good day, Wizard Jie Ming of Noren. I am Felix.”
Jie Ming’s heart stirred with surprise at the na “Felix”.
This na signified that his caller was none other than the legendary artificial intelligence overseeing the entire Star Ring Federation’s regional magic network!
He couldn’t fathom why such a “big shot” would contact a re second-level wizard like himself.
After all, in terms of power, Felix was considered a peak eighth-level wizard!
Felix got straight to the point: “I’d like to discuss the sales plan for your [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol].”
“Is sothing wrong with it?” Jie Ming asked, puzzled.
Selling intellectual property on the magic network typically followed a fixed process.
Sales incurred a 10% commission fee for the platform.
But Felix’s proposal was highly enticing.
“I’ve reviewed your submitted technology. I propose you lower its price to two hundred low-level rits.”
“In exchange, I’ll waive the 10% commission fee and use my authority to promote it across the entire Federation’s magic network.”
Jie Ming quickly calculated in his mind.
While two hundred rits was only a tenth of his initial price, Felix’s “official” promotion could boost sales far beyond tenfold!
Plus, waiving the commission fee made it a clear win!
Jie Ming was tempted but held back to ask, “May I ask why you’re approaching specifically?”
Felix patiently explained:
“Your technology triggered our internal Civilization Advancent Basic Treaty.”
“Naly: if a technology ets most of the sixteen criteria—such as ‘low technical difficulty’, ‘significant auxiliary or enhancent effects on current civilization’s foundational technologies’, and ‘low promotion costs’—we will officially support it.”
Jie Ming understood.
The [Self-Stabilizing Field Regulation Protocol] was a godsend for alchemists, potion masters, or runic masters at or below his level!
It could drastically increase their success rates in crafting, saving imnse costs and ti.
Of course, higher-level wizards with their own specialized techniques wouldn’t care for its modest benefits.
But if all low-level wizards in the wizarding civilization could use this technology to boost their crafting success rates, it would, on a macro level, push the civilization’s foundational productivity forward a small step.
No wonder Felix insisted on such a steep price reduction.
His true goal was to promote this technology as widely and quickly as possible!
Understanding this, Jie Ming didn’t hesitate and agreed readily.
“I agree. Pleasure working with you, Lord Felix.”
“Pleasure working with you, Wizard Jie Ming.”
