Dynasty Dao Discussion, Prodigies Gather
Upon hearing this, Qin Qingni's eyes lit up, and she suddenly jumped up, grabbed Qin Wangchuan's face, and kissed him.
"Right! As expected, only Ninth Brother is my soulmate!" She danced excitedly, her eyes shining brightly. "My savior!"
In the construction of the warships, in addition to the Qin Clan contributing funds, Qin Wangchuan also contributed a large sum of money.
He was the second richest member of the Qin Clan.
This is also why Qin Qingni invited him to come and visit.
Qin Wangchuan wiped the drool off his face expressionlessly. Before he could speak, she grabbed his wrist. "Come on, come on, I'll show you something good!"
She pulled Qin Wangchuan through layers of restrictions and arrived at the construction area on the other side of the warship.
Thousands of Artifact Refining clad in black armor were busy at work, and countless rare materials were flying through the air.
On the highest suspended platform, a disheveled woman with messy hair and dark circles under her eyes was squatting on the ground, frantically calculating.
Although she was disheveled, her eyes were exceptionally sharp, and her slender fingers moved rapidly in the air, outlining mysterious array patterns.
Suddenly, she looked up sharply, her clear, cold voice resounding throughout the room:
"Bigger is better, more is more!"
She snapped the Law Artifact shut, her eyes gleaming with madness. "Not enough! Still not enough! I want this warship—"
"One shot blasts through the World Barrier!"
Qin Qingni proudly introduced, "My chief designer— Wen Rou'er! A formation genius poached from Upper Thousand Provinces!"
"The last time I borrowed Eighth Sister's car was to pick her up."
"Rou'er! Come down quickly!" Qin Qingni called out.
The woman trembled upon hearing this, and the Law Artifact in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
She scrambled to her feet in a flurry, only to trip over her own sash and nearly fall off the platform.
"This... this is your younger brother?" Wen Rou'er shrank behind Qin Qingni, muttering softly, but her eyes shone with an alarming light. "His looks! His posture! His aura!"
She secretly tugged at Qin Qingni's sleeve. "How much will it cost to marry your brother?"
Qin Qingni rolled her eyes. "Get lost! You're not good enough for my brother!"
"Oh, my dear sister~" Wen Rou'er rubbed her hands together and leaned closer with a sly grin, "We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders! So how much is it?"
"Go away!" Qin Qingni shoved away her face as she leaned in. "Let's build the warship first!"
Wen Rou'er immediately wilted and squatted back down on the ground, drawing circles with a pitiful expression.
But then his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a roll of blueprints from his pocket, presenting it to Qin Wangchuan like a precious treasure:
"Young Master Qin, look! This is the newly designed enhanced version of the 'Starfall' turret. With just an additional 30 million Spirit Crystal, we can increase its firepower by 20%!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke, gesturing wildly. "When the time comes, one shot will turn any Holy Land in Upper Thousand Provinces into ashes in an instant."
"With 129,600 guns firing simultaneously, an entire region can be annihilated in mere breaths."
"What if we face the Great Emperor?" Qin Wangchuan suddenly asked.
"The prerequisite for annihilating a region is the absence of Great Emperor, right?"
The moment those words left their mouths, the two men were immediately castrated.
Qin Qingni chuckled awkwardly, "Ninth Brother, what are you saying? The Great Emperor is the embodiment of the Principle, while this is ultimately an inanimate object."
"But Quasi-Emperor aren't a problem! Except for monsters like my Eldest Brother."
"Moreover, the Great Emperor is limited, while our warships are limitless!"
As she spoke, she rubbed her hands together like a fly, "So, regarding the budget..."
When it comes to scientific research, you need this and that, and the budget goes way over the top.
But none of that matters.
Seventh Sister has already begun managing the Eighty-six Prefectures of Central Province, and there is no shortage of Spirit Crystal Spirit Marrow for the time being.
"Approved. Just go find Seventh Sister then."
Qin Wangchuan's slender fingers tapped lightly on the railing of the floating platform, producing a crisp sound.
He tilted his head slightly and asked with a hint of doubt, "When can I fly? I'm going to the Northern Region in a while; will I be able to fly then?"
Qin Qingni chuckled awkwardly twice upon hearing this, scratching her head. "Well... it's still early."
"For transportation, Xuanxiao Grade Sky Patrol Throne should be sufficient..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled out a pair of shimmering wings from her Storage Ring, the feathers swirling with mysterious runes. "If that still doesn't work, I also have a pair of the Ji Clan's Void Divine Feather. These are truly treasures!"
"This thing seems to have originally been yours." Qin Qingni handed the Divine Feather to Qin Wangchuan. "The Old Ancestor sent it to me before, asking me to see if I could replicate it. But it's truly ingenious, too difficult to replicate."
"Even if a replica is made, it will be less than one-tenth of the original."
She shrugged. "Take it."
The moment Qin Wangchuan's fingertips touched the Divine Feather, the entire pair of wings suddenly transformed into thousands of Purple Lightning currents, coiling upwards like swimming dragons.
In an instant, a pair of illusory wings of light unfolded behind him, with golden light from Spatial Rift dancing between the feathers. In a flash, they transformed into fine Dao Patterns that disappeared into his skin, leaving only a faint Phoenix-shaped Golden Mark on his back.
"Nice one!"
Qin Wangchuan could sense that this Divine Feather contained complete Space Law. Compared to it, the Taixu Steps he had learned before was simply useless!
"This is a secret treasure of the Ji Clan, and it should not be leaked to outsiders. It's on the same level as our family's Divine Seed."
"I wonder what the Old Ancestor and the Ji Clan discussed..." Qin Qingni said, then seemed to remember something and continued, "But when they sent it over, it seemed they mentioned some conditions. You can ask the Old Ancestor for details."
Qin Wangchuan took the items to the Old Ancestor and only then learned about the original agreement.
Qin Taiyi sat atop the Longevity Tenth Heaven.
There was no one on the other side, yet the black and white chess pieces moved on their own on the board.
Each move stirred up ripples of Daoist Dao Rhyme, spreading mysterious patterns in the void.
"The Ji Clan's Divine Feather are rare treasures, and that old man was reluctant to part with them, which is why he made two conditions."
The Old Ancestor did not look up when he spoke, but the surrounding space and time seemed to slow down and speed up in accordance with his speech.
"First... when you go to the Outer Realm in the future, take the opportunity to look for that lost Mirror Rune from his family." He then waved his hand listlessly, "But that's a long way off, let's not talk about it for now."
"As for the second one... it's to go to the Ji Clan three times to preach."
"I'll just make up a few random things when the time comes; those blockheads won't understand anyway."
"You decide when to preach."
With that, he flicked his sleeve, and a pair of Divine Feather and a secret manual appeared on the table. "Here's another pair. You can give them to your maid or your fiancée as you please. As for the <Heavenly Abyss Ancient Scroll>, it's a matching cultivation technique."
"Although this thing is notoriously difficult, it shouldn't be a problem for you."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and added meaningfully, "Remember, Void Divine Feather didn't become famous by rushing around..."
The last chess piece was gently placed. "Used well, it can even cleave through star systems."
After leaving the Longevity Heaven, Qin Wangchuan pondered to himself.
"Preaching doesn't necessarily require going to the Ji Clan, does it?"
"Why don't we just have them all come to the Heavenly Road Dao Discussion of the Dayan Dynasty?"
Without hesitation, Qin Wangchuan immediately ordered someone to send an invitation to the Ji Clan.
The Ten Directions Immortal Court - Ji Clan.
As one of the most outstanding members of the younger generation of the Ji Clan, Ji Wuchen naturally received an invitation from the Dayan Dynasty.
"Heavenly Road Dao Discussion?" Ji Wuchen's full head of frosty hair moved without wind. He sneered, flicking his finger to shatter the invitation into dust. "There are no shortcuts in this world. Even Qin Wangchuan had to feel his way across the river back then..."
"I'm not going!"
The maid stood to the side with a complicated expression, hesitating for a long while before continuing:
"But the Ninth Young Master said that this matter not only concerns the Heavenly Road, but also that he has invited the younger generation of the Ji Clan to discuss the Dao."
"Wait a minute!?"
Who are you talking about?
"Ninth Young Master, Qin Wangchuan..."
