Lin Ze walked to the Laboratory's supply storage area and took out the information he had previously recorded about sea dragon jade collection sites from a Sealing Scroll.
Deep ocean trench southeast of the former Land of Whirlpools... that's where I found it last time.
That area should have held a considerable supply of sea dragon jade, but his time had been limited then, and he had not searched thoroughly.
Lin Ze put away the scroll recording the sea dragon jade's location and rapidly formed hand seals.
"Summoning Technique!"
Poof!
A cloud of white smoke spread through the Laboratory, and Tashihime appeared before Lin Ze, dressed in a white kimono and exuding a gentle air.
She bowed slightly, an elegant smile on her face.
"Master, did you call for me?"
"Yes, I have a task for you."
Lin Ze handed her the scroll. "Go to this location and collect as much sea dragon jade as possible."
Tashihime took the scroll, carefully examined the coordinates on it, and nodded.
"Sea dragon jade? Understood."
With that, she bowed again and vanished in white smoke.
Beside them, Tagitsuhime pouted and spoke up.
"Master, I could do that too. Why not send me~?"
Lin Ze glanced at her and said evenly,
"Do you want to run errands? You two can switch."
Tagitsuhime froze, then hurriedly said,
"No, no, no. Rather than running errands, I'd much rather stay by your side and serve you, Master~"
Lin Ze ignored Tagitsuhime and turned toward the cultivation room next door.
Dozens of cylindrical cultivation tanks stood in neat rows inside. Most were empty; only the three at the far end were filled with pale green nutrient solution.
In one of the tanks floated a body that bore some resemblance to Lin Ze.
It was the Yin Release clone
