With ample financial support, Mingye established an intelligence network in Nine Yama City, which greatly aided their plans.
Have you gotten any information from the front lines?
Chen Mu changed the subject.
"I've heard the casualties are heavy, and the Extreme Evil Imperial Court is riding high. Judging from the situation, the defeat of the Manju Imperial Court is only a matter of time."
Mingye analyzed.
Originally, Chen Mu did not want to get involved in the war between the three Imperial Court. If the Manju Imperial Court was defeated, he could simply surrender to the Extreme Evil Imperial Court.
However, he now realized that the Extreme Evil Imperial Court was extremely hostile to the Human Clan. If Iron Soul City were to submit to the Extreme Evil Imperial Court, the people of the Nether Clan would be alright, but most of the Human Clan people would definitely be killed.
This was clearly not what Chen Mu wanted to see, so he still hoped that the Manju Imperial Court could win.
"Where is the Manju Sacred King? Has she not made a move yet?"
The legendary three Holy Kings are said to be roughly equal in strength. Now that the Manju Imperial Court is in dire straits, if the Manju Sacred King were to intervene, he might be able to turn the tide.
"Everyone was expecting her to make a move, but she hasn't shown any intention of doing so yet. It's likely the rumors are true; she was injured in a battle decades ago and is unable to fight at all."
"Mingye answered."
"Decades ago? Do you know exactly when, and who you fought?"
Chen Mu sensed something was amiss and inquired further.
But Mingye shook his head. "This is just a rumor; I haven't found any further information yet."
Chen Mu frowned, as if he sensed something, but he couldn't quite make it out.
He immediately took out three Bagua copper coins from his body, threw them on the ground, and began to carefully calculate.
Chen Mu has been cultivating the Fate Dao of Talismans for quite some time, but apart from using them to obscure the secrets of heaven and help his subordinates overcome their Heavenly Tribulation, he rarely uses them.
The reason for this is that the Dao of Fate involves too many causes and effects, making it extremely difficult to control. A slight misstep can lead to disaster.
Although Chen Mu has encountered difficulties over the years, they have all been within his control, so he has no need to use the Fate Dao of Talismans.
But now, he felt it necessary to do some deduction, and the direction of his deduction was Mingye's background.
The so-called deduction is actually applying the universal laws of all things in the world to vague clues, and then repeatedly verifying the results to finally obtain the truth that is closest to the facts.
Whether this truth is correct or not is largely related to the cultivator, and for Chen Mu, he needs to constantly calculate and simulate, which will cause him enormous mental pressure.
After a while, Chen Mu put away the copper coins, wiped the sweat from his brow, and gave Mingye some instructions.
"Judging from the divination, you have a deep connection with the Manju Sacred King, so it seems we are on the right track."
You need to investigate her matter thoroughly. I believe it won't be long before the truth about your background comes to light.
Seeing how exhausted Chen Mu was from his troubles, Ming Mingye's eyes softened, and he nodded, saying, "Alright."
Time flies, Iron Soul City entered a period of stable development.
About a month later, Chen Mu completed the automated production line for the robots and produced the first batch of robots.
The most important thing in producing robots is to have enough raw metal ore. Here, non-spiritual metal ore is similar to that in the Pan Emperor Continent and is not valued. Therefore, Chen Mu acquired a lot of it at a low price and used it all to build robots.
The first batch of robots were all production robots, with mining robots making up the majority. They were all capable of compounding their value, and with them, Iron Soul City's mining speed increased significantly. There was no need to purchase metal ore anymore, and Iron Soul City could continuously produce robots.
Another month passed, and the production robots in Iron Soul City became saturated. Chen Mu then turned to building combat robots, and Iron Soul City's military strength began to expand rapidly.
Finally, in the fifth month, Iron Soul City's development once again hit a bottleneck.
The most important point is that Yin Stone are running out again. Even though Chen Mu has been trading military supplies with the Yan Lineage, the profits he earns are still not enough to cover the expenses of Iron Soul City.
With its continuous expansion, Iron Soul City's population has quadrupled, with 30,000 to 40,000 people undergoing military training. The amount of Yin Stone these people consume every day is terrifying.
Therefore, Chen Mu had to think of other ways to earn more Yin Stone.
Nine Yama City, the Yan Manor.
Mo Kesha sat at his desk, taking out intelligence scrolls one by one and examining them with a very serious expression.
After a while, he stopped, holding a piece of intelligence, and looked thoughtful.
"Disciples of the Divine Talisman Gate Sect of unknown origin? And it's a man and a woman; these two are highly suspicious."
Since losing his position as sect leader, his status has plummeted, so for the past few months, he has been trying to find Chen Mu and the other person every day.
Even if finding Chen Mu doesn't guarantee he can reclaim the sect leader's position, at least he can vent his anger.
He dared not defy Chu Xuanzi, so he could only direct his anger at these two visitors from another world.
"Butler, go and get me all the information on Iron Soul City, quickly."
"Yes, sir."
After a while, the steward of the Yan Manor gave Mo Kesha all the information about Iron Soul City. After studying it for a period of time, Mo Kesha made a decision.
"These two are indeed very suspicious. We'll go to Iron Soul City tomorrow and see if they are the people the Supreme Elder is looking for."
Iron Soul City, Alchemy Room.
The room was decorated in a very special way. In the center was an ancient alchemy furnace, and next to it was a bronze cauldron for refining medicine. However, the shelves on both sides were filled with various spiritual materials and objects in glass containers.
Glug glug~~
A large pot of medicinal liquid was simmering in the medicine cauldron, but Chen Mu, as the alchemist, did not constantly use Spiritual Power to enhance the bronze cauldron like a traditional alchemist. Instead, he kept staring at the data floating above the cauldron, occasionally tapping the rune keyboard he had condensed with Dharma Power in front of him, leisurely and content.
This alchemy room is actually a very complex intelligent rune array. As Chen Mu issues commands through his keyboard, it can adjust the temperature of the alchemy through the fire-type runes under the cauldron, adjust the proportion of medicines in the cauldron through the mechanical arm, and inject rune power into the cauldron using talisman paper.
This is the Talisman Medicine System created by Chen Mu and further developed by Chen Xuejun.
The finished Talisman Medicine is usually in liquid form, but it is made into injection form for easy carrying. Therefore, the name of Chen Kingdom Medicinal Agent is widely known, but few people know how it works.
