Chapter 150: Resources Obtained, Returning to Sea God Island

~14 min read 2,686 words

After five months of reconstruction, the Star Empire has stepped onto the right track, and the empire's area has returned to its pre-war level.

Compared to pre-war times, only the population has decreased somewhat, and houses are damaged.

Fortunately, the entire Star Empire is united as one, and everything is a scene of prosperity.

Lingxu had heard during his earlier investigations that this Xingyi is very capable of governing an empire and possesses extremely strong ambition, but his luck was poor; just as he was preparing to start, the two great empires joined forces to attack the Star Empire.

The entire empire suffered heavy losses this time, and even with the compensation received, it will take five or even ten years or more to recover.

"Eliminated?" Lingxu thought for a moment and continued: "If there are any, prepare them; if not, then forget it."

Space Soul Guidance Devices are very precious, but fortunately, the Star Empire has quite a few, and manufacturing them is relatively simple for him.

"Not just you; anyone you fancy can enter my Lingxue Sacred Land, but the prerequisite is passing my assessment, and that includes you, Xingyi."

Before long, the two arrived at this mansion by carriage.

Having obtained everything he needed, Lingxu flew into the air, heading toward Sea God Island.

"It has already been arranged; it is the same mansion you stayed in before, Holy Master. In the future, whenever you come to my Star Capital City, you shall stay there," Xingyi said.

Seeing this, Lingxu was also somewhat shocked. The Star Empire is indeed a great power of resources; no wonder it made the other two great empires covet it and unite to occupy it.

His age is not too old, and he also wants to make a push to see if he can reach Spirit Douluo in his lifetime, or even challenge the Title Douluo rank.

Fortunately, with these detailed materials, as long as he finds Spirit Masters who can study this aspect deeply, they will be able to manufacture Soul Guidance Devices very quickly.

Xingyi said: "There are quite a lot of things, and many resources are scattered quite far apart; it will probably take another six or seven days."

Thinking of how Lingxu secured over one billion Gold Soul Coins in war reparations for them, while these Gold Soul Coins are of high value, they are not much to the Star Empire.

Lingxu nodded and said: "Found it. It is on the sea, one hundred kilometers away from the city on your coastline. I want this island. I heard from Xingxin that it is called Lingtai Island, right?"

"Originally, I was going to wait until the Sacred Land was built before recruiting members. Since it has come to this, I will give you one hundred spots. You can test and enter my Sacred Land in advance, including commoners; that is also fine, but the assessment will be even harder than this one."

Lingxu nodded and said: "Of course you can, but only those with great perseverance will have a chance. If they don't have it, it is better to give up."

Lingxu looked at Xingyi's expression, as if he still had something to say, and asked: "Is there anything else?"

Ensuring that the people of this continent will not be able to research it.

The Title Douluos of the two great empires were both injured in the battle against each other, and both sides lost no fewer than ten thousand troops and Spirit Masters.

Following that was his most loyal subordinate, Ying.

Among them were many ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs. To ensure the formula for the Lingxue Pill would not be leaked, Lingxu added a total of ten extra medicinal herbs to these.

And since the other party could easily pull their empire up from the abyss, they also have the strength to push them into the abyss.

"Greetings, Holy Master!" Xingyi said.

After they passed, Lingxu began to distribute the Lingxue Pill; ordinary Lingxue Pills were free.

Lingxu nodded and then said: "Good!"

The final twenty-two people all took the Mid-grade Lingxue Pill.

If he had not come, the Star Empire would have been destroyed, these Soul Guidance Device technologies would have all been destroyed, and in the end, the entire continent's Soul Guidance Device technology would have regressed by thousands of years.

Learning naturally has to start from the lowest level at the beginning.

Lingxu took it and looked at it; the resources accumulated by the power of a nation are still a very huge number.

One hectare equals ten thousand square meters, which means six thousand-plus hectares is over sixty million square meters, about the size of nine thousand-plus standard football fields.

After everyone received the pills and practiced the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, most of them increased their soul power by one level on the spot, especially those who took the Superior and Top-grade Lingxue Pills.

Xingyi said: "Due to war attrition and losses, there are not many supplies in the treasury now, but according to this list, as long as you need them, Senior, we can scrape together at least five years' worth."

Out of the final list of one hundred people, thirty-six passed successfully.

For the assessment of the Lingxue Sacred Land, a 36% pass rate is very high.

It even allowed Xingyi, this Soul Saint, to easily break through by one level; his cultivation speed and aptitude both improved, letting him see the hope of becoming a Title Douluo himself.

Xingyi nodded and continued: "Yes, this island is indeed not bad. I went there once in my early years, but is it a bit small? This? Only six thousand-plus hectares?"

"That is fine. You can rest assured about this, Senior Ling. They are also citizens of my Star Empire; I will absolutely not treat them unfairly."

Chen Luoyun said: "It should be in five years, but I have to say, this Lingxue Sacred Heart Art is truly good."

Lingxu nodded and said: "Good, then let it be these two days; arrange a place for me to stay."

114.41.84.251

Lingxu stayed in this courtyard, and three days later, he began to conduct tests on the one hundred people sent by Xingyi. Of course, the first one to be tested was Xingyi himself.

In the world of his past life, isn't it all the same? Starting wars for resources is also a common occurrence.

Xingyi smiled and said: "Of course that is fine, but some Soul Guidance Devices have already been phased out. Does this need to be prepared?"

And only by reaching the standard of the inner sect can one begin to come into contact with more advanced Soul Guidance Devices.

For Xingyi, he must hold onto this thigh; with this thigh here, the Star Empire can be kept worry-free.

"Understood, I will determine the one hundred people as soon as possible for you to test, Holy Master."

"This box contains the most powerful and most difficult types of Soul Guidance Devices. If you want to learn how to manufacture Soul Guidance Devices, you can start from the box I labeled and gradually work your way up."

In the Star Capital City Imperial Palace, Xingyi looked at the list in his hand; although he felt a bit of heartache, if he did not give it, he and the entire Star Empire would perish.

Under Lingxu's introduction, among the thirty-six people, Xingyi, his three most talented princes, and Chen Luoyun used the Top-grade Lingxue Pill, and then ten others took the Superior Lingxue Pill.

Although all the materials were brought back, everything started from zero; even the lowest-level Soul Guidance Devices would require Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent to study for a long time.

Now the power of the imperial family has been reduced too much; the power of the imperial family must be improved.

For example, some Space Soul Guidance Devices are formed in combinations, just like Tang San's Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Night; although it has about twenty cubic meters, it is divided into twenty-four spaces, each space being only one cubic meter.

Chen Luoyun nodded and said: "I know, with the help of the Holy Master, I can do it."

Therefore, all the credit for this was attributed to Lingxu.

"This box contains the basics for becoming a Soul Guidance Master and manufacturing Soul Guidance Devices. The labels on them are detailed and also include the notes and experience of our empire's excellent Soul Guidance Masters, making it very easy to get started with learning."

Lingxu thought for a moment and said, "I have a blueprint here; just build it according to the scale on this. Also, you must provide sufficient Gold Soul Coins for the relocation of the island's residents. I do not want to hear any sounds of dissatisfaction, even from those intentionally causing trouble. This can be done, right?"

The three great empires keep each other in check, which allows the Star Empire more time to recover and develop.

"What about Soul Guidance Device technology?"

Lingxu nodded and said, "That's enough!"

Looking at these five hundred or so Soul Guidance Devices, although a single one is worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, the sheer quantity is overwhelming.

"When will the items be ready?" Lingxu asked again.

Some technologies are even in a leading position; perhaps he really has changed history.

"Senior Ling, this is the manufacturing data for all the Soul Guidance Devices in our Star Empire. There are a total of three hundred and twenty-one Soul Guidance Devices, large and small. However, there are currently only sixty-three types of weapons, eighty-two types of auxiliary devices that can be used for combat, and the rest are mostly civilian Soul Guidance Devices."

"Lord Holy Master, please follow me," Xingxin said with a smile.

While speaking, Xingyi beckoned, and then Xingxin walked out from the shadows.

As long as a Spirit Douluo works hard, they basically cannot escape, so the target was changed to Title Douluo.

The main reason is that the people brought along have decent aptitude, and secondly, they have basically witnessed Lingxu's power. Following such a powerful person, how could they not be willing?

These contained over five hundred Soul Guidance Devices in total, each with a space of at least one hundred cubic meters, and the large ones having over a thousand cubic meters.

Lingxu said, "A five-year supply; are you following the list here?"

Lingxu nodded. The materials on this list are at least several thousand jin at the lowest; these are rare materials, and for the same weight, they are worth dozens of times more than gold.

"Lord Holy Master, in the few months you were away, we have renovated this courtyard. We hope it meets your satisfaction," Xingxin said while walking.

The third reason is that Xingyi discovered Lingxu not only helped them but also split the other two great empires.

At this moment, Xingxin seemed to have been specially dressed, walking step by step, manifesting the temperament and beauty of a princess of a great nation.

Xingyi spoke very carefully, and Lingxu also saw the labels on the boxes.

"Good, then I will wait another seven days."

*Swish*, he collected these dozen or so boxes of data and put them into the System Space.

Therefore, most of the people who arrived today were members of the royal family and those he trusted most.

After all, coming to the Star Continent is very far. If traveling by ship, it would take at least two months. Although he can arrive in a few days at his speed, it is impossible for him to come to this Star Empire every time in the future.

But for Lingxue Pills of mid-grade or higher, a price must be paid.

Xingyi was the first to participate in the test. Because he had an inexplicable admiration for Lingxu and also wanted to rely on Lingxue Sacred Land, although his test was difficult, he successfully passed it.

Glancing at Xingyi, Xingyi immediately said, "Senior Ling, regardless of my current extraction volume, everything will be according to the Star Empire's usual levels."

The reason Xingyi gave so much at once was first out of gratitude, and second to curry favor with Lingxu.

Xingyi said, "Chen Luoyun, you must work hard and reach the Title Douluo rank early. Although we have the Holy Master's care, we still have to rely on ourselves when the Holy Master is not here."

Even if it were acting, it would be impossible to make such a huge sacrifice.

"Senior Ling, this is the material list for all the Soul Guidance Devices manufactured in our Star Empire. Please have a look!" Xingyi handed over the list.

Of course, taking such good pills also comes with a price, which is that Lingxu gave a list of medicinal herbs and required them to prepare the herbs for Lingxu.

Xingyi said, "Holy Master, my second prince Xingkun, sixth prince Xingdong, and third princess Xingxin all have good talent. Could the Holy Master accept them as disciples?"

"Disciples? I do not take disciples, but if they can pass the assessment, they can enter my Lingxue Sacred Land. As long as they work hard, they will all have the opportunity to reach the Title Douluo rank in the future," Lingxu said indifferently.

In Lingxu's mind, there were already candidates, such as Lou Gao and his team; they would all work, but Lingxu had one condition: they must meet the standards for entering Lingxue Sacred Land.

"I wonder when Lord Holy Master will return," Xingxin said.

Even when the allied forces of the two great empires retreated, they experienced several battles between each other, and Title Douluo were involved, according to intelligence gathered by the Star Empire.

For example, Low-level Soul Guidance Device, Mid-level Soul Guidance Device.

Then another three days passed, and Xingyi delivered the resources to Lingxu.

This Star Empire gave Lingxu a feeling that its Soul Guidance Device technology was not inferior to that of the Douluo II era ten thousand years later.

Lingxu nodded; he was very satisfied with this result.

Speaking of this, Xingyi had long been prepared; with a movement of his Soul Guidance Device, he took out a dozen large boxes.

Subsequently, Xingyi continued, "Senior Ling, I heard you need an area. Have you found a place?"

Xingyi said, "Senior Ling, then how should this island be renovated?"

But the loyalty of the Shadow belonged only to Xingyi; even if Xingyi succeeded, the Shadow did not succeed.

Xingyi was shocked and said, "Can ordinary people also become Spirit Masters?"

However, Xingyi still explained to Lingxu, "Senior Ling, due to the war, current resource extraction has only just recovered. This year there is only this much, only forty or fifty percent of the usual. However, please rest assured, next year it can probably recover to seventy or eighty percent of the pre-war level, and the year after that, I guarantee it can fully recover."

Looking at these Soul Guidance Devices, Lingxu directly put them into the System Space.

"Not bad. In the future, if there are newly developed Soul Guidance Devices, they should also be prepared like this. In addition, for the existing Soul Guidance Devices on this list, prepare two of each for me. Is this possible?" Lingxu said.

Lingxu nodded and smiled, "In the future, you don't need to call me Senior Ling. The force I founded is called Lingxue Sacred Land, and people generally call me Holy Master."

Seeing Lingxu fly away, a trace of disappointment appeared on the faces of Xingxin and Chen Luoyun.

Then there were the three princes Xingyi looked forward to most: the second prince Xingkun, the sixth prince Xingdong, and the third princess Xingxin, all of whom passed.

Seven days later, Lingxu in the sky could already see the shadow of Sea God Island.

And Qian Renxue also woke up from her cultivation, because of the connection in her heart, she sensed Lingxu.

"Brother Lingxu, you are finally back," Qian Renxue said, stood up, and then spread her wings to fly out to welcome Lingxu.
