In the front courtyard of the residence, Li Yunfeng and Zhang Zide were thoroughly enjoying their battle, while Zhang Qi, Zhang Wenxuan, and Ye Xin silently watched. Unnoticed by anyone, Lin Qian was lost in thought, staring ahead.
In front of Lin Qian, rather than an empty expanse of sea, there was a system window connected to the Heavenly Art Departmentâs Tactical Mirror.
On it, Zhuge Ming raised a manuscript, gesturing to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian focused his gaze and clearly saw the four large characters on the manuscript in Zhuge Mingâs hands: Refining Body Fragment!
"This manuscript records a Refining Secret Skill called âRefining Body,â" Zhuge Ming gently caressed the manuscript as if he was touching a rare treasure.
According to Zhuge Mingâs description, the current delay in successfully developing puppet bodies was due to uncertainty about which materials should replace the meridians and Dantian, and how to make the puppet bodies resemble real human bodies.
From their analysis, for the puppet body project to succeed, the created puppet bodies must be identical to another body.
If they followed the settings from the games in Huaxia Empireâs past life, constructing these puppet bodies would be quite simple.
However, the Huaxia Empire was no longer in the world of past life games but had followed Lin Qian into this new world. Thus, almost everything had to start from scratch.
It was akin to creating something from nothingâLin Qianâs previously researched manuscripts were greatly helpful in other aspects, but very limited for the puppet body project.
"This âRefining Bodyâ describes the creation of puppet bodies and even has detailed materials to replace the meridians and Dantian, along with mature techniques."
"However, this Refining Body has its drawbacks; it cannot create bodies identical to flesh and can only use metals smelted from Soul Ore. Yet our Empire can create bodies just like flesh."
"If our Huaxia Empireâs technology can be combined with the technology of this Refining Body, then the success of the puppet body project is just around the corner!"
When saying this, Zhuge Ming shouted excitedly, his eyes eagerly fixed on Lin Qian.
Hearing Zhuge Ming say this, Lin Qian also sincerely felt happy, knowing that after the success of the puppet body project, the generals could appear by his side earlier than expected, which was thrilling to think about.
"What are we still lacking now?" After the joy, Lin Qian gradually calmed his emotions and asked Zhuge Ming.
Seeing Lin Qian ask this, Zhuge Ming chuckled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, we lack everything."
"What do you mean?"
"This is, after all, just a fragment of Refining Bodyâit only includes some introductions. As for the methods of refining and what materials are needed, what materials can create what, none of that is detailed." Saying this, Zhuge Ming flipped through the Refining Body Fragment for Lin Qian to see from the side.
Looking from the side, Lin Qian discovered that the Refining Body Fragment in Zhuge Mingâs hands was merely a few thin pages, leaving him at a loss for words.
After a long moment, Lin Qian regained his composure with a helpless expression, "It seems we must first find the complete âRefining Bodyâ; otherwise, we canât proceed with the puppet body project."
"Thatâs right, we can only trouble Your Majesty to pay more attention," Zhuge Ming said, feeling ashamed, he knelt before Lin Qian, "We are incompetent, unable to alleviate Your Majestyâs worries and still causing you to run around on our behalf. This guilt is unbearable."
"Get up, what is this about?" Lin Qian frowned, visibly displeased, "Youâve already done very well; do not belittle yourselves. In the past, werenât you also not so powerful? Was it not through my gradual care that you gained such strength?"
Lin Qianâs words were genuinely sincereâafter all, while generals had high-quality and great potential, they also need nurturing.
It could even be said that these generals of the Huaxia Empire were all "raised" by Lin Qian!
"Your Majesty," Zhuge Ming rose to his feet upon command, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Lin Qian.
After instructing Zhuge Ming to continue his duties, Lin Qian closed the system interface, and only then did he realize Ye Xin had come to his side at some unknown point, curiously looking at him.
"Little Qian, what was the matter just now? You were staring off into space." Ye Xin asked, somewhat worried that something had happened to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian gently shook his head and whispered to Ye Xin, "Itâs nothing, I was just talking to Zhuge Ming in a special way."
"Prime Minister, honestly, the Starlight White Gown he developed is truly amazing." Ye Xinâs eyes filled with respect as she mentioned Zhuge Ming, gently lifting the hem of her gown as she spoke.
As Ye Xinâs strength improved, she grew increasingly impressed with the Starlight White Gown she wore.
The Starlight White Gown not only had strong protective capabilities but could also enhance its own power as her own strength increased.
Moreover, the Starlight White Gown possessed many miraculous abilities.
For example, now in the water, the Starlight White Gown was not wet at all, as if seawater could not soak into it.
Therefore, when Ye Xin wore the Starlight White Gown, her body did not get wet at all, as if she were still on land.
And like on land, the hem of the Starlight White Gown hung down, completely unaffected by the water currents.
Especially at night, with just a thought from Ye Xin and a slight infusion of Soul Power, it would emit a smooth starlight, exquisitely beautiful amidst the sea.
Because of this Starlight White Gown, Ye Xinâs fame among women was particularly prominent, many of whom approached her, desiring to know which great house had made her beautiful gown.
"Unfortunately, I couldnât possibly say it was designed by the Prime Minister and completed by the Fire Department under Little Qian," Ye Xin said with a light laugh.
Suddenly, Ye Xin seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Qian, "Little Qian, you mentioned that you are short of Soul Crystals, so why not sell some magical items to earn Soul Crystals?"
"Like my Starlight White Gown, if you let the Fire Department make gowns with this starlight effect, it would surely attract many women to buy them, wouldnât it? After all, which girl doesnât love beauty?"
"And the edible Precious Stones that Senior Brother Gao often eats, the successfully crafted Skill Precious Stones, that very delicious royal beverage from Huaxia, Wang Duobao, all could be sold."
After Ye Xin finished speaking, Lin Qian was completely stunned.
Right, why didnât I think of that?
These items, produced in great quantities on Xuanhuan Star, and personally consumed very little by me. This world of the Soul Martial Continent has none of these things!
Thinking about it, this world didnât even have the concept of snacks.
One could say that once I start selling these items, they would be completely monopolized by me, and wouldnât that mean making a huge profit?
With this thought, Lin Qian excitedly lifted Ye Xin and spun her around several times: "No wonder youâre my wonderful wife, hahaha."
