After that, all you need to do is buy traffic on the wide area network to carry out marketing and distribute your products.

"Let's call the product 'Mustard Seed Generation 1'," the white-haired girl casually suggested.

"Speaking of which, perhaps we can't just rely on this single product for distribution. The products should have some grades..." she muttered to herself in the preparation room. "How about making a youth version? Or treat this product as a pro version and launch two other grades, three levels: upper, middle, and lower? Or even four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow?"

Xi Heng mentally prepared various plans to determine how to cut the material precisely.

Afterwards, he chose the four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. The purple phoenix-patterned storage bag in front of him, which he had painstakingly crafted and which had an internal space of two cubic meters, was the Heaven level.

Other grades divide the interior space into 1.5 cubic meters, 1 cubic meter, and smaller.

These storage bags of different sizes are actually completely identical in terms of manufacturing process. The only difference is that a few characters will be removed or added during the later debugging process.

Overall, the effort required to make each level of storage bag is roughly the same, but the price varies greatly depending on the model.

"This is the product..."

Xi Heng placed the storage bags of four different sizes according to the prices of magical artifacts used for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment in this world.

The lowest grade Yellow storage bag is equivalent to a mid-grade magic weapon, the upper grade Profound grade is equivalent to a high-grade magic weapon, the Earth grade is equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon, and the Heaven grade is a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

After all, there are no other companies in this realm that specialize in spatial magical artifacts, so he can become the dominant player in this field and control the pricing power.

After Xi Heng made the decision, he instructed the spirit creation staff below to contact the cooperating spirit cloth workshop and finalize three lower-grade cloth patterns, instructing them to speed up production.

Seven days later, thousands of spirit bags of four grades—Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow—were delivered, packed into many large packages, and transported to the preparation room.

Meanwhile, the elaborate packaging boxes customized from other professional companies have also been delivered.

The company's own marketing department also started working, spending a lot of spirit stones to buy advertising space, at a price several times higher than the production cost.

Before long, the concept that all cultivators and even mortals could possess their own unique spatial artifacts suddenly caused quite a stir on the wide-area array network.

As soon as the marketing campaign was launched, it attracted a flood of interview requests from news agencies and media companies. Xi Heng casually agreed to some and sent his experienced staff to handle them.

As a Golden Core Peak cultivator, he doesn't need to personally handle interview requests from outside companies—this perfectly aligns with common perceptions of high-level cultivators.

Everything went smoothly, and another half month passed.

The first batch of goods has undergone complete testing, totaling 5,000 pieces. The lowest grade, Yellow, has 2,000 pieces, the lowest grade, Xuan, 1,500 pieces, the lowest grade, Di, and the highest grade, Tian, ​​and all of them have the limited edition mark for the first batch of sales.

As the release date approaches, discussions about both virtual reality and Changping Jingzhong are becoming increasingly heated.

Many people are pessimistic about its future, but the reason for its prosperity is that spatial artifacts are extremely convenient for anyone. Legend has it that in ancient times, every cultivator in the Great Realm was equipped with a spatial artifact, and even those at the first level of Qi Refining had simple storage bags available.

The so-called spatial artifacts were one of the hallmarks of cultivators in ancient times, just like the most basic five elements techniques, flying swords, and magical treasures.

If everyone could truly have access to spatial artifacts, it would be like returning to the prosperous days of ancient times, and many cultivators have high hopes for this.

However, at the same time, the delivery company also began to denigrate the cultivator. Although they dared not criticize him too much due to the prestige of the Golden Core Peak cultivator, they still raised some doubts. Legend has it that after the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, various spatial techniques have become more or less incomplete. A large number of storage bags and some spatial rings were damaged, and many treasures were lost. This is still recorded in historical texts. Many cultivation techniques and treasures have not been passed down because of this.

Perhaps after the collapse of the heavens, such spatial turbulence and restrictions will still exist, and the valuable items hidden in the storage bag may suddenly disappear and be difficult to find again.

In their words, the spatial storage bag has become a synonym for insecurity, and it is better to operate it physically outside.

Xi Heng also kept a close eye on various media outlets and news from the network, and soon after, he issued a statement in the name of Fenglu Company:

The storage bag has undergone meticulous adjustments and extensive testing, ensuring it can be used freely and unaffected in various high-pressure environments.

Before its official release, Fenglu Company will distribute it to various media outlets and online self-media personalities for free testing, including extreme testing.

As soon as the announcement was issued, Xi Heng arranged for staff to pack the storage bags and send them to each media outlet that applied for testing.

……

Five days before the release, various media outlets completed their tests. One major company even hired a Nascent Soul cultivator to use his divine sense to carefully examine the data and compiled it into a table to post in the news section.

They generally believed that the storage bag's spatial capacity was quite complete, and it rarely suffered damage after undergoing various pressure tests. After being refined, it was even more difficult for outsiders to open; only a powerful spiritual force could forcefully tear a few openings.

As a magic weapon for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, this item is already extraordinary and meets people's expectations.

Seeing that the situation was favorable, Xi Heng said no more and let public opinion develop as it would.

Company staff are busy preparing for the launch.

With nothing to do, I sat cross-legged in the courtyard meditating, completely at ease.

Having once been the ruler of a nation, she simply took a natural approach to the development of a small company under her command.

He believed that his company would grow big, but he didn't take it too seriously.

On the first day of sales, various magic item shopping areas began to stock the products, and a sales event was also set up in front of the Phoenix Talisman Company, attracting a constant stream of people.

Xi Heng came to the top of a distant pavilion and looked out, seeing ordinary mortals and ordinary cultivators constantly moving about.

This was the first time she had seen so many real people gathered in real life since arriving in Changpingjing.

Normally, the only humanoid forms we see are spirit creations, which act in a disciplined and orderly manner, even lining up in a square formation to cross the road.

At this moment, we finally see ordinary people stepping out of the virtual world and coming to the real world to scramble to buy one thing.

The crowd surged toward the sales area and then retreated, the number of storage bags prepared on the table decreasing layer by layer.

Before an incense stick had even finished burning, most of the storage bags here had already been sold.

"..." Upon seeing this, Xi Heng muttered to himself, "Was the price set a bit too low?"

"Never mind, maybe it's just that the initial marketing was good, and the price of the second-generation product will be raised later."

She continued to swing her legs along the edge of the building, where few people could see her, watching people scramble to buy things.

After another incense stick's time, the first batch of storage bags for sale had been emptied.

Not to mention the Heavenly-level storage bags that had already been pre-ordered, even the Yellow-level storage bags, which were the most numerous, were sold out.

Many people who failed to snag a unit left disappointed, knowing that restocking would continue in the coming days, but they were still dissatisfied at not being able to get their hands on it immediately.

Xi Heng opened the wide area network and began to observe the online reactions.

After observing for a while, I opened the black market on Deepwater NetEase and saw that some scalpers had already started reselling.

She manipulated Phoenix Records Company to issue a notice confirming that restocking would be carried out in succession, and then ended the sales event.

Then, they contacted the sales department remotely to inquire about sales performance and profits.

The message reads: "Miss, we expect to stock 8,000 storage bags, all of which can be sold today, generating a total revenue of nearly 8 million spirit points."

As Xi Heng listened, he calculated his profits—and suddenly felt that they seemed a bit too high.

"The returns are several times higher right from the start... With this product alone, I won't lack spirit stones for cultivation in the future." She blinked.

She contacted the Jin Yuan Sect cultivator who had previously explained to her about contributions and economic benefits, and recounted her recent actions.

The other party responded quickly at first, but when Xi Heng mentioned his Fenglu Company, he suddenly became slow and speechless.

After a while, Xi Heng inquired again about his own contributions, and the Jin Yuan Sect cultivator slowly replied:

"When I checked just now, I could see that you have started accumulating on the list of civilian contributions, but the specific number is not displayed. If needed, you can go to the Department of Progress at Duguang Pavilion to pick up your badge, which you can use to check your contributions and what you can buy at any time."

"Thanks for the reminder," Xi Heng replied simply, then closed the interface.

Then, through a subtle connection, he urged his avatar to continue adjusting the storage bag.

The main body then leisurely turned around, and with a flash of fire, its figure disappeared from the rooftop.

……

Xi Heng returned to his courtyard, fed some bait to the carp in the pond, and then turned and headed towards the bedroom.

Yin Wanluan was sitting on the bed, leaning against the backrest, her fingertips flashing with spiritual light as she clicked on the array patterns in front of her, slowly examining the wide-area array network.

When the white-haired girl opened the door, she turned to look at her and said gently, "You've been away for a long time, you must be tired."

"Things at the company are going fairly smoothly, so I should be able to try advancing to the Nascent Soul stage soon." Xi Heng sat naturally on the edge of the bed: "When that time comes, how about I create an avatar of an even higher level for you?"

"I'm looking forward to it." Yin Wanluan chuckled.

"I've been looking at what's called a wide-area network lately, and what you've created has certainly caused quite a stir."

"It should be number one on the trending topics right now, right?" Xi Heng placed his hands on the bed and leaned closer to look at the spiritual light page.

Ignoring the comic strip featuring two women leaning against each other, they went straight to the specific trending search list on the internet.

"Huh? It's not?"

The three terms "Fenglu Company," "Space Magic Treasure," and "Storage Bag" only ranked third on the trending searches.

The first two are...

Breaking News! Spirit-created entity attacks people—

'A vengeful spirit has gone mad in the city's residential area, killing seven people!'

Xi Heng blinked and turned to look at Yin Wanluan.

Then, the two of them looked together toward the direction of the spirit servant pruning the flowers in the back courtyard.

The android named Yuntong swung its pruning shears and snapped off a branch.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 297, Striving for Perfection

Click.

With a snap of the long-handled garden shears, the branches of the small spirit tree were cut off.

The branches fell downwards into the mud and dust due to gravity, only to be collected by a slender hand and piled up to one side.

A few leaves or petals drifted through the air as she moved, brushing against the woman's dress before falling down.

While pruning and tidying, the spirit creation named Yuntong felt a gaze coming from behind and turned its lively eyes to look.

In the courtyard, the window of the master bedroom where the two young ladies lived together was open at some point.

Yun Tong touched her cheek with one finger to express her confusion and asked:

"Miss, is there anything you need?"

Xi Heng hesitated for a moment in the room, then said, "No, you can go ahead with your business."

"Alright." The spirit entity obeyed the command and continued to tidy up the courtyard behind it.

After pruning the branches and flowers, she went to the edge of the fishpond to scatter some bait, and then picked up cleaning tools to clean the ground.

Giving up, he patted the bedding he had brought out to air in the sun yesterday to make sure the smell was gone, then nodded and went to the living room to clean.

At this moment, Xi Heng and Yin Wanluan were still leaning together, browsing the hot news about spirit creation on the wide-area array network.

Clicking on the topic reveals a flood of videos about spirit-created beings killing people, with various media teams and holographic video creators from various online platforms rushing to capitalize on the hype.

The popularity of Fenglu Company dropped again and again, and it lost its position in the top five of the trending searches in just a few minutes.

Xi Heng, the company's founder, is also paying close attention to this unexpected event that has stolen the spotlight from his own product.

"...Could it be that an artificial intelligence rebellion has broken out?" The white-haired girl blinked.

She never expected that this scene, which often happens in science fiction movies, would actually be unfolding right in front of her.

The various videos circulating in the topic clearly record the process of the spirit-created entity injuring people. There are even videos from the first-person perspective of the spirit-created entity, which are of unknown origin, showing it holding a sharp dagger and stabbing people in the chest repeatedly with considerable force.

As seen in the video, the spirit's movements were rather clumsy, and it even failed to grasp the human's weaknesses, stabbing many times before finally finding the heart, at which point it died.

"The spirit-created entity kills almost entirely with brute force, its movements resembling the irrational attack of an extremely enraged person. It lacks the stiffness of a machine; it's not pre-programmed, but rather a completely spontaneous reaction..." Xi Heng concluded after watching several videos.

"It's like he's gone mad."

This doesn't seem to be an organized and premeditated AI rebellion like in science fiction movies. It's more like a malfunction in the emotional module, causing emotions to accumulate towards anger, thus creating this tragedy.

Xi Heng's gaze occasionally drifted out the window, landing on his own spirit creation, which was busy at work.

Yun Tong's emotions were quite calm and stable, so this kind of bug shouldn't happen.

Even if there are problems, it doesn't matter. Even if Xi Heng lies on the bed and lets the other party stab him with a knife until the knife breaks, there will be no fixed marks on his body.

For cultivators, spiritual creation poses absolutely no threat.

However, the main target market for spirit creations is mortals, and the current security crisis has led them to strongly condemn the Far-Reaching Company.

Despite the fact that Farsight Company immediately announced that it would thoroughly investigate the matter and promised to collect all the spirit creations for testing and update them to completely resolve the security issue.

The comments section below also received tens of thousands of negative comments in a short period of time.

In an instant, Yuansu Company, which had been hailed as a pioneer of the new era, became a target of universal condemnation.

In this discussion, more and more ordinary people are no longer trusting the spiritual entities around them, and are actively dismantling them and posting videos about it.

The blood of the spirit creation was bluish-green, but as more and more videos of disassembly, separation, and limb removal were shown, Xi Heng still felt a sense of bloodshed and grotesqueness.
