"Many thanks!"
Xia Ziling's voice trembled with excitement when she realized what it was.
A teenager at the peak of the advanced stage of the spirit realm was a completely different concept from a teenager at the martial king level.
She was well aware of this.
Just as she was feeling excited, Qin Yichen took out a piece of Xuanyun ore that weighed about one to two kilograms and placed it on the table.
"Your Highness, this is good stuff!"
Qin Yichen patted the Xuanyun ore as he spoke to the confused Xia Ziling.
"What's so good about it?"
Xia Ziling asked.
"Your Highness, what do you think is the strength of the Xuanyun ore?"
Qin Yichen didn't answer directly, instead asking a question of his own.
"It's hard!"
Xia Ziling thought for a moment before answering.
"Yes, Xuanyun ore is definitely one of the hardest materials in the world."
Qin Yichen nodded with a smile.
"But …"
Xia Ziling was about to say something when she suddenly thought of something. She lifted her head and looked at Qin Yichen in astonishment. "Could it be that you have a way to melt Xuanyun ore?"
Xuanyun ore couldn't be heated.
This was something that everyone knew.
However, the youth in front of her had created too many miracles.
"Heh heh."
Qin Yichen smiled mysteriously and took out a bottle of green liquid. He slowly dripped it onto the incredibly hard Xuanyun ore.
A miracle had occurred!
The incredibly hard Xuanyun ore had actually softened!
That's right, although it hadn't melted, it had softened like dough.
Then, Qin Yichen moved. Not long after, the Xuanyun ore, which was originally a piece of irregular Xuanyun ore, actually turned into a long sword.
Not long after, the green liquid evaporated and the Xuanyun ore returned to its normal hardness.
However, this was no longer a useless ore, but an incredibly sharp longsword!
“
"Scram!"
Qin Yichen held the longsword and slashed it to the left. A corner of the bluestone table was immediately cut off.
This was a hard bluestone!
Looking at the smooth cut, it was obvious that the sharpness of this Xuanyun ore longsword was high to a hair-raising degree.
"How did you do it?"
Xia Ziling took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked solemnly.
Xuanyun ore was a waste product because it could not withstand heat. However, after Qin Yichen smeared some special liquid on it, it actually softened. Moreover, it was so sharp even though it was casually forged into a sword.
What would happen if it was refined?
Furthermore, if these weapons were given to the army …
Thinking of this, Xia Ziling felt a burst of excitement. With an army with such sharp weapons, what else could stop their iron hooves?
"It's very simple. This medicine can temporarily soften the Xuanyun ore."
Qin Yichen took out another potion, waved it in front of her and said with a smile.
As if sensing Xia Ziling's concern, Qin Yichen said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm the only one who has this medicine."
At this moment, Xia Ziling finally understood why Qin Yichen had asked her to choose Xuanyun County.
That was not a wasteland!
It was a gold mine of the entire county!
Xia Ziling was even looking forward to the expression on her father's face when he knew about this.
"I can't thank you enough for your kindness. If you need my help in the future, please let me know."
Xia Ziling nodded heavily and said sincerely.
She had used the imperial jade seal in exchange for her father's attention and increased her influence.
She had also given her the Twilight Spirit Fruit to increase her cultivation.
And now, she had received such a big surprise.
The value of any one of these things was immeasurable!
Xia Ziling was not a stupid person. On the contrary, she was extremely smart. Otherwise, she would not have maintained her status as a princess despite being ostracized by so many people.
She knew that since Qin Yichen had paid such a huge price, he would definitely need her help in the future. If he did not ask for her help now, it must be because she was not powerful enough!
"I wonder if the Seventh Princess has the time to accompany me to Lord Xiaoyao's Residence."
Qin Yichen had no intention of secretly bringing her to Lord Xiaoyao's Residence. On the contrary, he wanted to announce to everyone that Lord Xiaoyao was on the Seventh Princess's side.
Lord Xiaoyao's influence was unquestionable in the entire Duchy. Now, there were many forces who had already sided with the Li Family, or were not ready to take sides. They should consider carefully.
"Go to Lord Xiaoyao's Residence?"
As Xia Ziling was in the palace, she was not clear about some things. She was confused and said worriedly, "Although you helped Xia Ziyi become President Hai's disciple, Lord Xiaoyao …"
"Just follow me."
Qin Yichen stood up and walked out first.
This time, although Xia Ziyi was not leading the way, the guards at the entrance of Lord Xiaoyao's Residence still allowed Qin Yichen and Xia Ziling to enter.
It was as if they had received some special instructions.
This special treatment made Xia Ziling's heart skip a beat. Her guess was confirmed when she saw Lord Xiaoyao's attitude towards Qin Yichen.
"You're here, Sir."
Xia Zelei did not seem surprised by Qin Yichen's appearance.
However, Xia Ziling, who was behind Qin Yichen, was confused.
It was not like she had never seen Lord Xiaoyao before. In the past, Lord Xiaoyao always had a sullen face and did not speak much. He did not even pay attention to her father.
But now, what did she see … She even rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen wrongly.
"Is this the Seventh Princess?"
While she was still in a daze, Xia Zelei's gaze fell on her.
"Your Highness!"
Xia Ziling was not like Qin Yichen. She quickly bowed to him.
"Mm."
Xia Zelei nodded, then pulled Qin Yichen into the main hall.
"This guy, he actually managed to deal with the Unfettered King …"
Looking at the backs of the two men, Xia Ziling was stunned. It was only when Qin Yichen called out to her that she came to her senses and hurriedly followed them in.
"Your Highness, how is the situation?"
Qin Yichen asked, of course, about the situation with the army.
"It's just as I expected …"
Lord Xiaoyao frowned slightly, his face was filled with anger.
This anger was not directed at Qin Yichen, but at the princes and princesses who were vying for the position of Crown Prince. The army was the foundation of a country. But now, the army of the duchy was like a sheet of loose sand, each occupying their own territory and doing their own thing.
This was a very dangerous situation. Once a strong enemy attacked, the duchy would not be able to resist.
"Your Highness, what percentage of the army can you mobilize now?"
Qin Yichen asked the key question.
"Less than thirty percent."
Lord Xiaoyao smiled bitterly.
