Chapter 925: A Huge Bumper Crop! A Huge Bumper Crop!

Or rather, the Royal Potion Master Association was personally established by this old Emperor decades ago in order to seize power.

Bringing it up now was just an excuse.

He just wanted to give this newly promoted marquis more benefits.

He had really gone to great lengths...

"Anything at all?"

Lan Qingyou's spirits lifted upon hearing this.

"As long as it is within the scope of my power, it will be no problem."

The old Emperor smiled.

'What an old fox...'

The other party had not made an absolute promise, which was enough to show that he was also afraid she would propose some outrageous condition.

But with everything she had seen, was there anything she would actually covet?

"Then... I wonder if there are any other items similar to this magic staff, I want to take a look."

Lan Qingyou raised the magic staff in her hand, which had a curved head and a fist-sized eastern pearl embedded in the middle.

"Just this?"

The old Emperor was taken aback.

He hadn't expected the other party to make such a request without even a second thought.

"This... just to take a look?"

The old Emperor asked uncertainly.

After all, she said 'take a look'.

But items on the level of the Destruction Magic Staff were all kept in the treasury.

And basically everything inside the treasury, aside from some gold, silver, and jade wares with historical value, was extremely important.

So he was genuinely afraid that Lan Qingyou might take a fancy to something and just casually walk off with it.

If that happened, he would truly be riding a tiger and unable to dismount.

After all, he was the one who made the offer.

If he didn't keep his word, it would chill people's hearts.

"Just to take a look. I have no interest in the items themselves, but I am very interested in the production methods of these items."

Lan Qingyou said a sentence that completely reassured the old Emperor.

For no other reason.

Because this sentence perfectly aligned with an alchemist's pursuit of the 'unknown'.

Looking at those scarlet eyes, which were said to only be obtained by those who had reached the pinnacle, the old Emperor finally nodded in agreement.

He couldn't help it.

It was too pure.

There was only a thirst for knowledge in those eyes.

He had seen that kind of gaze too many times in the eyes of other alchemists.

He definitely wouldn't mistake it.

And so...

The old Emperor took Lan Qingyou to a Royal Manor on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

Although it was called a manor.

It actually housed many good things.

In other words, the so-called 'Imperial Treasury'.

Therefore, it was heavily guarded.

Even when the Imperial Capital was captured by Perry, the Knight Order stationed here had never left for even a moment.

Because their duty was to guard everything here.

Otherwise, they couldn't just send people to fetch things from the Imperial Palace inside the capital right after it was liberated.

After opening the gates to the treasury, the old Emperor gestured for Lan Qingyou to go in and choose.

A huge bumper crop!

A huge bumper crop!

It really lived up to the name royal.

From weapons like swords, spears, and halberds to armor like soft armor and plate mail;

From magical items to daily tools;

From magic potions to secret elixirs.

It had everything.

Lan Qingyou even saw many precious magical materials.

However, materials were not within Lan Qingyou's scope of observation.

What she needed was to record the formulas and materials of those completed magical items.

That way, it would be much simpler for her to produce them after she returned.

So, all she had to do was use pen and paper to record everything her Demon Eye saw.

But even so, it was enough to keep her busy all by herself.

After all, hundreds of years of heritage was no joke.

And if they factored in the warring kingdom era from hundreds of years ago.

The Sima Family had ruled for even longer.

Consequently, they had collected even more rare treasures and exotics.

'Mhm!'

'In that case, wouldn't it be highly likely that Elisa's family also has such a treasury?'

'That won't do.'

'She will definitely arm herself.'

But fortunately.

Since she had the formulas for these items, she could make them herself.

From this perspective, she wouldn't be lagging behind.

To Lan Qingyou and to Elisa.

They could perhaps fall behind anyone.

But the one person they absolutely could not fall behind was the other party.

And the moment she finished recording and returned to her Maple Leaf Territory, Lan Qingyou began her production journey.

The first thing to make was naturally the combat magic golems.

Although the battle in the Imperial Capital had been easy, she had still lost thousands of magic golems.

Among them, the pink infantry suffered the greatest losses.

After all, she had to rely on them for the assaults every time.

Fortunately, the old Emperor was also considerate.

After Lan Qingyou sent over the list of losses, cartloads of materials set out from the Imperial Capital and were delivered to Maple Leaf Territory.

Upon checking, Lan Qingyou discovered that the materials the old Emperor sent were much more than what was on her list.

He even sent over quite a few extremely precious materials.

For example, the [Heart of the Mountain] that she had been trapped in the instance dungeon trying to get her hands on before.

Among them, what surprised Lan Qingyou the most was that this batch of supplies actually contained the raw material for the Destruction Magic Staff, the [Fantasy Tree Leaves].

It was just that these leaves really only had the 'leaves' left, while all the veins on them had been extracted.

Needless to say.

They had to be the leftover dregs from when this Destruction Magic Staff was produced.

But even so, in Lan Qingyou's eyes, it was quite a lot.

Because there was a full fifty-plus kilograms of it.

It was only then that Lan Qingyou suddenly realized a problem.

And that was that this [Fantasy Tree Leaf] was probably enormous.

After all, just the leaf vein could be used to make a magic staff.

And in common knowledge, a single leaf would usually have one midrib and a few pairs to over a dozen pairs of lateral veins.

If the Destruction Magic Staff used the midrib, that was one thing.

But if it used a lateral vein.

Then this leaf would only be even bigger than she imagined.

Moreover, although these leftover leaves were probably hundreds of years old.

They hadn't lost their vitality.

They were still bright green.

Lan Qingyou could even smell the unique fresh fragrance of the leaves.

"Mhm... since that's the case, let's modify the Destruction Magic Staff first."

Looking at these leftover leaves, Lan Qingyou immediately thought of the Destruction Magic Staff she had obtained.

Previously, she had always been using her magic broom as her mount.

But now that she had this thing, she naturally had to switch.

She would liberate the magic broom from being a flying tool and let it return to the position it was suited for.

However, although it was called a modification, in reality, it was just transplanting all those thrusters and gears onto the magic staff.

If there was any difficulty.

That would probably only be that the wiring would be a bit troublesome.

After all, the middle and upper parts of the magic staff were wrapped in flannel.

And unlike the magic broom, which had a broom head that could hide the thrusters.

So as not to ruin the overall aesthetics of the broom.

The magic staff didn't have anything like that.

Slapping a thruster onto it would really just look completely out of place no matter how one looked at it.

It would feel somewhat like one of those anti-slip walking canes.

This was truly something Lan Qingyou could not accept.

So Lan Qingyou simply dismantled the thruster and placed its parts on both sides of the eastern pearl at the top of the long staff.

And she gave it a permanent zero-gravity enchantment.

Allowing them to float around the eastern pearl.

This way, it wouldn't ruin the overall aesthetic of this long staff.

It was nothing more than needing to place the head at the back when using it to fly.

"In that case, then I'll install another enhanced version of the specialized Dispersing Light Sphere at the bottom."

"The kind that can drive away any Magic Beast below S-rank."
