Xue Lingling saw Qin Hao co in, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she ran over: "Master!"
Qin Hao patted her soft hair and said with so surprise: "You’ve advanced quite quickly, already at the Peak Realm Early Stage?"
"The Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth has beco much denser, and Lingyi has given so many Spirit Stones, I can’t even use them all." Ling’er said with a laugh.
Qin Hao sat down with her on the chairs, and soon a servant ca up with Spirit Fruits and snacks.
Ling’er sat beside Qin Hao: "I’ve already told Xian Yin and ng Qi that you’ve returned, they should be back soon."
Qin Hao nodded: "Ling’er, you have a very special physique, which makes it easy for people to target you, so be cautious when you go out. Even though Master Ji Mie protects you, there might still be those who dare to take risks."
Ling’er nodded seriously: "I understand, Master."
Ling’er had also learned in detail about her physique over these days, understanding how much of an allure her body held for those cultivators, comparable to an unmatched Divine Artifact.
As Qin Hao and Ling’er were chatting, suddenly an electronic voice echoed in Qin Hao’s mind.
"Ding, the system is about to undergo a mandatory upgrade, this upgrade will consu one million rit points!"
Qin Hao was stunned upon hearing this voice, as he hadn’t heard the system’s voice in a long ti.
"What’s wrong, Master?" Ling’er saw Qin Hao sitting there in a daze and asked curiously.
Qin Hao snapped out of it and smiled: "It’s nothing!"
At this mont, a maid walked into the pavilion in the back garden: "State Preceptor, Miss, the Madam has returned!"
Madam?
Qin Hao realized she must be referring to Xian Yin and Dong ngqi, right?
He and Ling’er got up and walked out of the back garden, just as Dong ngqi and Xian Yin stepped into the front hall.
"Young Master!" Xian Yin saw Qin Hao and hurried over, the longing in her eyes was evident.
Qin Hao smiled as he looked at Xian Yin and Dong ngqi, they seed even more charming and alluring after not seeing them for so ti.
Ling’er chuckled: "Master, I’ll leave you to chat and won’t disturb you." With that, she returned to her residence within the palace.
Qin Hao and Xian Yin, Dong ngqi also went into a room. After chatting for a while, a strange sound started to echo within the room.
...
The next morning, Qin Hao and the others were having breakfast.
Qin Hao asked: "Are the matters concerning the legion taken care of?"
Xian Yin and Dong ngqi nodded: "Everything has been taken care of, there’s nothing much going on now, they’re all in training."
Qin Hao: "Be wary of the Blood Leopard Dynasty to the north and the Daliang Dynasty to the west, these two dynasties are highly likely to make a move against us."
As they were eating, a palace maid walked in: "Reporting to the State Preceptor, the King said to go to the palace after you finish eating."
Qin Hao nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
After breakfast, Qin Hao, Xian Yin, Dong ngqi, and Ling’er went to the palace. Led by the palace maid, they arrived at the Imperial Study, where Ye Lingyi was sitting inside handling so docunts. Seeing Qin Hao and the others enter, she hurriedly got up and walked over: "ng Qi, Xian Yin, you’re back."
Qin Hao looked at her curiously and asked: "Is there sothing you need us for?"
Ye Lingyi smiled slightly: "Do you rember what you entrusted with before you left? That thing has been researched successfully."
Qin Hao was taken aback and then realized: "You an the blueprint I gave you?"
Ye Lingyi nodded: "Yes, that’s the thing. Let take you over to see it."
Xian Yin and Dong ngqi curiously asked: "What are you talking about? What thing?"
Qin Hao smiled slightly: "You’ll find out in a bit, let’s go have a look."
He was also eager to see if this thing could work, as he had drawn each part strictly according to specifications. Although there were no such precision instrunts and machines here, these people were cultivators, their precision wouldn’t be inferior to machines.
Led by Ye Lingyi, Qin Hao and the others ca to the Artifact Refining Room of the palace, where all the top Artifact Refiners of the dynasty were gathered, all attracted by Qin Hao’s advanced Artifact Refining Skill.
The Artifact Refining Room was located at the far west of the palace, surrounded by dozens of palace-like houses all within its range, heavily guarded both inside and out.
Ye Lingyi and her group walked in and ca to the rear Artifact Refining Workshop.
There were many people here, and an elder hurriedly walked over when he saw Ye Lingyi and her group: "Your Majesty, State Preceptor!"
Ye Lingyi nodded slightly: "Mr. Li, where is that thing? Take us to see it."
The elder led them to the back, he was the overseer of the Artifact Refining Room, holding a third-rank position. During Ye Jingtian’s rule, he was the overseer here, the most skilled Artifact Refiner in the palace, known for crafting low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Now, having studied advanced Artifact Refining Skill, his refining level had greatly improved.
Very soon, he led Qin Hao and the others to a hall, guarded by forbidden troops on the outside.
Li Kaitian spoke: "Your Majesty, State Preceptor, that thing is inside here."
Qin Hao, Ye Lingyi, and the others walked in. In the hall stood an object with dual wheels, its dark barrel facing the entrance.
Dong ngqi and Xian Yin curiously asked: "What is this? Why does it have wheels?"
The nearby Li Kaitian spoke: "Your Majesty, this thing was crafted strictly according to your specifications, using rare tals."
He was actually quite curious himself, wondering what this was, as it had consud enough rare tals to craft several low-grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Qin Hao used his Divine Sense to scan the cannon, seeing each component within clearly, perfectly matching his requirents.
He waved his right hand, storing the item into his storage space: "Let’s go."
After leaving the Artifact Refining Room, Qin Hao spoke to Ye Lingyi: "Let’s find a secluded place to test this thing."
The group headed to the Transmission Array within the palace.
Qin Hao pondered for a mont, then directly went to the southern frontier fortress, bordering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, where there were hardly any people, ideal for conducting experints without drawing attention.
The Transmission Array glowed, and Qin Hao and his group vanished, soon reappearing at a fortress on the southern border.
Soldiers guarded near the Transmission Array of this fortress, and upon seeing Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi’s group, the soldiers were taken aback but quickly said respectfully: "Greetings to Your Majesty, State Preceptor, Great General!"
Qin Hao nodded slightly: "No need to follow, just keep a good watch on the Transmission Array."
They flew out of the fortress, ahead of them lay the endless Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, sparsely populated and teeming with monsters.
Qin Hao led them to fly several hundred miles and stopped at a mountain peak, taking out the item and aid its barrel toward the opposite mountain.
