After refining a bit of Dream Back to the Peak, Qu Chu continued to say excitedly, "Ah-Yu, do you have any other good formulas … that you can teach grandpa? Don't hide it … "
Lin Muyu said, "Grandpa Qu Chu, don't tell me you really want to replace Big Sis Chu Yao as the Spiritual Medicine Department's Head Deacon?"
"Pah!"
Qu Chu said, "Being a Head Deacon is such a boring thing, only that little girl Chu Yao and that old man Lei Hong would be obsessed with it. I, Qu Chu, have no interest in that kind of thing, I just want to concoct medicine that no one in the world has ever thought of. I know you have a lot of recipes that you haven't taken out yet, just tell me, no matter how expensive the ingredients are, I will scour the Empire to find them."
"Oh? Alright then … Men, bring me a brush and paper! "
"Yes!" A Royal Guard nodded respectfully.
Not long after, the brush, ink, and paper were brought out. Lin Muyu spread the paper on the ground, then sat cross-legged and wrote down a new recipe for Qu Chu — — Heaven Chong Powder LV-8: Also known as Advanced Strength Potion, greatly increases physical strength; Fire Dragon Blood, Dragon Saliva Grass, Blood Ginseng, ratio 7: 14: 16, chilled for an entire day, becomes a solid pill; Divine Illusion Potion LV-9: Confuses the opponent, causes hallucinations; Qilin Horn Powder, Southern Sky Bamboo Juice, ratio 4: 6, refines with flames; Spirit Awakening Pill LV-9: Has a 30% chance of the user comprehending a martial spirit; Qiongqi Blood Merchant Grass, ratio 5: 5, Fire Evaporation Method Divine Pill LV-10: Refines the physique, increases the power of the Godhead; Candle Dragon Horn Powder, Qiongqi Blood Heart Calming Grass, ratio 7: 2: 1, refines with flames …
Qu Chu was dumbfounded by the side. Even Qin Yin could not help but open her mouth wide. The recipes that Lin Muyu had written were all things that they had heard of, but they had never seen before.
"It can't be …" Qu Chu was stunned, "You even know how to concoct the legendary Divine Pill that has been lost for tens of thousands of years?"
"As long as there's a formula for the herbs, there's nothing I can't do." Lin Muyu spread her arms and said helplessly, "It's just a pity that there's no chance to see a beast like the Torch Dragon, and Qiongqi is also an ancient divine beast. There's no way to get the herbs, so it's useless even if we know the method of refinement."
Qu Chu quickly put away the paper and held it in his hands as if he was afraid to destroy it. He said, "I was fortunate enough to see Qiong Qi once before. It was just that my cultivation wasn't high enough that I didn't dare to challenge Qiong Qi. But now I can. Will … will this Spirit Awakening Pill be useful?"
"Of course it is useful."
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Grandpa Qu Chu, think about it. How many descendants of famous generals in the empire didn't comprehend their ancestors' martial spirits? There are too many. The Spirit Awakening Pill has a high chance of awakening the sleeping martial spirits in their bodies. It's effective even after they've reached adulthood. Moreover, for those without martial spirits who have no hope of cultivating martial arts, the Spirit Awakening Pill is also a treasure. This is a chance for them to change the world and reach the peak of their lives. "
"That's great!"
Qu Chu quickly folded the paper and put it into his space bag. He said with a smile, "Your Highness, this old subject is going to enter the deep mountains and forests to train again. Lanyan City … will be temporarily handed over to Emperor Qin Han and you to guard."
"Lord Qu Chu is going to look for new herbs again?" Qin Yin blinked and asked.
"Yes!"
Qu Chu said in a low voice, "This is this old subject's lifelong pursuit!"
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile. She stuck out her round breasts and said with a smile, "Qu Chu was originally a person outside the realm. Xiao Yin left Qu Chu in Ze Tian Palace as the Minister of War because of her own selfish desires. Now that the situation in Lanyan City has been settled, Lord Qu Chu won't be wronged anymore. You can go wherever you want. With the ancestors guarding Lanyan City, I believe those who are not loyal will be much more restrained."
"This old subject thinks so too. Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness!"
Qu Chu bowed respectfully again. He then stood up and patted Lin Muyu's shoulder. He said, "Grandpa is going out for a while. I'll come back to see you in at least one or two months. At most half a year."
Lin Muyu nodded. "Be careful, Grandpa. I hope you can step into the Divine State as soon as possible. Also … if you find Qiong Qi's blood but don't have the ability to refine it into the Awakening Pill … remember to bring it back, I can …"
Qu Chu couldn't help but laugh. "Brat, you look down on Grandpa too much! Alright, I'm leaving. Wait for my good news … By the way, if I refine the Awakening Pill, can I ask that little girl Chu Yao to certify me as a Drug God? "
"No."
Lin Muyu shook her head. "The Awakening Pill is a level-9 medicine. You can only be certified as a Drug King if you refine a second-grade Awakening Pill. You can only be certified as a Drug God if you refine a level-10 second-grade medicine. Otherwise, Grandpa, do you think Drug Gods are so common?"
"Oh my god …"
Qu Chu cupped his hands and said, "Time waits for no man. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now!"
"Goodbye!"
Lin Muyu and Qin Yin couldn't help but smile at the same time as they watched Qu Chu leave Yangxin Pavilion.
…
The next day, Qin Yin announced the "Prefectural System" and "World Subjugation". Even though Tang Lan and Su Muyun were slightly unwilling, Qin Yin used the title of King to shut their mouths. One was the King of Yunzhong, while the other was the King of the Seven Seas. This made them lose their control over the various provinces. In order to compensate Tang Lan, Qin Yin re-conferred nobility and promoted Tang Lu and Tang Tian to Marquis Lingbei and Marquis Lingxi respectively.
On the same day, over a thousand scrolls of the Empress's Imperial Edict were escorted by specially assigned winged cavalry to the various officials in the Seven Seas Province, Yunzhong Province, Lingbei Province, Cangnan Province, Earth Star Province, and Tianshu Province. The edict was immediately implemented throughout the entire nation. The various Holy Temples would also begin to recruit cultivators to form their own armies and encourage cultivators to become soldiers of the empire. This was the essence of World Subjugation.
In the afternoon, a column of heavy cavalry escorted the Demon Race's Princess Feng Jing 'er to the steel protective wall. Zhen Yifan personally led the God Might Battalion to negotiate for peace, while Lin Muyu led 10,000 cavalrymen from the Longdan Army Camp to accompany and protect them. Together with the 10,000 imperial guards led by Zhang Wei, the military strength was sufficient.
This round trip took at least a month. Every time Lin Muyu rode on a warhorse, she would enter a "sleeping" cultivation state and continuously refine the origin of the two types of martial souls. Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue, and the rest guarded her, so she was safe.
…
Ten days later, in the depths of Lin Muyu's Yi Hai, the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd was no longer the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd. What Lin Muyu saw was only a tender green sprout growing in the soil, and the God Binding Chains were no longer golden chains, but a piece of ore with a faint golden luster.
"Is this the origin?" Lin Muyu was a little surprised.
However, when he thought of what Qin Han said about the degree of fusion between martial souls, Lin Muyu didn't dare to slack off. He could faintly feel that this sprout still wasn't the origin of the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd. After all, the sprout was also born from something else.
Therefore, he continued to cultivate.
The negotiation outside the steel wall went very smoothly. The empire handed over Feng Jing 'er, and the devil race compensated the empire with a hundred carts of Shendu coins and one cart of magic crystal coins. According to the Empress's orders before they left, everything that the devil race compensated would belong to Lin Muyu. Therefore, Zeng Yifan didn't care too much about it. It seemed that after returning to the empire, Zeng Yifan's desire for power was getting more and more indifferent, and it was precisely because of this that he was valued by the Empress.
In the evening, carts of Shendu coins were transported into the steel wall.
Lin Muyu ordered that they set off the next day to transport the coins back to Lanyan City. Shendu coins couldn't be circulated in the empire, since they were the devil race's currency after all. However, these Shendu coins were made of gold, so they could be melted down and remade into Jinying coins. As for the magic crystal coins, Lin Muyu held a magic crystal coin under the light of the setting sun. She could faintly feel the surging power coming from it. This wasn't an ordinary stone, but a form of energy. Suddenly, Lin Muyu had the idea of pocketing all of these magic crystal coins for himself.
However, when he thought about it, he was the commander of the empire and one of the feudal vassals, so he gave up on this idea. He couldn't ruin his character at a time like this.
…
The next day, he returned to the city and continued to cultivate on the way back. He used the mental cultivation method taught by Qin Han to catalyze his Martial Soul to return to its original state. This process was extremely slow and torturous.
It wasn't until the day before they arrived at Lanyan City that there was finally some progress. In the depths of Yi Hai, the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd's sprout had disappeared. When Lin Muyu dug up the soil, she saw a seed that glowed with a faint golden light. It was a God's Seed. This Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd was indeed extraordinary. It wasn't as simple as a green gourd!
Lin Muyu was ecstatic.
The next morning, the God Binding Chain returned to its original state as well. It looked like an unpolished stone, gray and dull. When Lin Muyu put the God's Seed and the unpolished stone together, she could faintly feel a sense of appreciation between the two Martial Souls. It was as if both Martial Souls were saying to each other, "So you were once so weak."
After nearly a month, the Martial Soul Fusion's Second Heavenly Realm was finally completed!
Next, the cultivation of the Third Heavenly Realm began!
…
When Lin Muyu entered Yi Hai again, the two Martial Souls had been restored to the ninth level. The Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd was lush and the Starlight God Binding Chain was shining with a golden light. This time, she needed to see what these two Martial Souls looked like in a more perfect state.
At night, Qin Yin hosted a banquet in Ze Tian Palace to entertain Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu, Tang Lan, Su Muyun, Su Yu, Yao Yuan, and other important officials. At the same time, after the implementation of the state system, the first batch of taxes for the first year had arrived in Lanyan City. The Minister of Revenue was so happy that his old face was flushed with happiness.
But soon after, Qin Yin ordered the establishment of a new "supervisory department" in the Fire Sparrow Department, which was to supervise the details of the revenue and expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and so on. In this way, no matter how rich Lanyan City was, only the royal family was rich. The ministers who accepted bribes would be severely punished, and they could only obediently serve the country.
…
After the banquet, Lin Muyu returned to the Holy Palace. After resting for a day, she came to Yangxin Pavilion again to receive Qin Han's teachings.
Qin Han, the emperor of the empire, was second only to Qin Yi in terms of talent. He had indeed helped Lin Muyu and Qin Yin a lot in their cultivation. This could be seen from Lin Muyu's cultivation of Martial Soul Fusion and Qin Yin's stepping into the Saint Realm. Qin Yin even sent a letter to invite Tang Xiaoxi back to the imperial capital to receive Qin Han's teachings.
