The Ba Mountain Secret Realm will be my base, my retreat in times of danger, Lin Xuankong thought. I need to gather people for construction and development, establish a solid foundation.

At this thought, Lin Xuankong decisively said, "I will go with you to find Miss Xiao and collaborate on designing the farming tools."

He took the hands of the two young ladies, and in the next moment, the three of them were already standing on the slope where Xiao Xiuyi was located.

Entering Xiao Xiuyi's stone tower and explaining his intentions, Xiao Xiuyi looked somewhat surprised.

"Refining farming tools is a simple task, Brother Lin. You prepared plenty of Profound Iron and various refining materials for me. Refining hundreds of thousands of farming tools won't be a problem. Is there really a need for design in such simple items?"

Lii Xiaolan interjected, "Hmph, I think Husband just used this as an excuse to come see Miss Xiao!"

Lin Xuankong was speechless. He walked to the table in the stone tower's hall and took out paper and pen from the Ghost Frog Pouch. "I'll sketch out the farming tools I want Miss Xiao to refine for us, and you'll understand. The farming tools I design will be a little different from those in Great Xia."

With that, he swiftly began sketching on the paper.

Lii Xiaolan, Zhao Yufei, and Xiao Xiuyi, seeing his mysterious expression as he sketched on the paper, couldn't help but feel curious and all gathered around him.

A moment later, Lii Xiaolan, frowning at the strange farming tools sketched on the paper, asked, "Is this a farming tool? Is this your 'little different'? This thing looks like a four-wheeled vehicle? I understand the four wheels, but what is that long rod paired with a circle? And what is connected behind the four-wheeled vehicle? This is so odd!"

Zhao Yufei also looked curious.

"Most of Great Xia's carriages have two wheels, drawn by horses or Exotic Beasts. But this vehicle Husband sketched seems to have no animal drawing it? Moreover, this four-wheeled vehicle looks square, with only one seat on top and something being dragged behind it! The crucial point is, how can this vehicle move? Do you expect people to push it?"

Xiao Xiuyi frowned too. "Since we're going to refine farming tools, why sketch a four-wheeled vehicle?"

Lin Xuankong coughed and cleared his throat.

"This vehicle stems from a peculiar dream I once had. In that dream, farmers mostly used these vehicles for plowing fields, turning soil, and making furrows, and so on. In that dream, this thing was called: Tractor!"

Zhao Yufei looked surprised. "A 'Peel-a-Chick'?"

Lii Xiaolan's expression turned odd. "A 'Drag-a-Chick'?"

Xiao Xiuyi pondered. "A 'Haul-a-Contraption'?"

The three of them were clearly baffled.

Lin Xuankong pointed at the various parts of the tractor on the paper, explaining,

"In that dream, I heard the farmers discussing that this part should be called an engine, the power unit for the vehicle, like a replacement for the horses' or Exotic Beasts' strength! The circle with the long rod is called a steering wheel, used for controlling the vehicle's direction! This position has a starting mechanism to activate or stop the vehicle's movement. These three parts are called the accelerator, gear shift, and brake..."

Lii Xiaolan, Zhao Yufei, and Xiao Xiuyi were even more puzzled after hearing the explanation.

"'Engine Chicken,' 'Steering Wheel,' 'Oil-boiled shrimp'... no, 'Oil-boiled gear shift brake'? What is all this stuff?" Lii Xiaolan's bright eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Lin Xuankong took out a piece of Profound Truth Jade and smiled. "Actually, the key to this design lies in using Profound Truth Jade as its power source."

With that, he looked at Xiao Xiuyi and began explaining the design concept of the tractor in detail.

More than an hour later, Xiao Xiuyi's eyes finally brightened. "Brother Lin, you're planning to design a vehicle powered by the True Qi of Profound Truth Jade, driving internal gears with various components transmitting Power through Demon hides! This design isn't too difficult. I should be able to devise it with careful calculations in a day or two!"

Zhao Yufei frowned and looked at Lin Xuankong.

"Husband, whether in Great Xia, Rakshasa Kingdom, or other dynasties, Artifact Refiners focus on designing powerful, highly defensive Battle Armor. The top-notch Artifact Refiners of the Central Divine Dynasty, on the other hand, reportedly craft Magical Artifacts that aid in combat. The more advanced ones, like Miss Xiao, even strive to create Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Which Artifact Refiner spends valuable time crafting devices for ordinary folk to plow fields and plant herbs?"

Lii Xiaolan nodded in agreement. "Indeed! Indeed! Miss Xiao has exceptional Talent; no Artifact Refiner in the Central Divine Dynasty matches her! A refiner of such caliber, and you don't ask her to create Immortal Artifacts but instead have her refine tools for ordinary civilians? Any simple farming tool would suffice for them!"

Lin Xuankong shook his head with a smile.

"I have more fantastic designs from my dreams for Miss Xiao to refine later. When those are made, don't you two be tempted and clamor to try them!"

Lii Xiaolan and Zhao Yufei exchanged glances and then turned their chins up at Lin Xuankong.

"Ha, we wouldn't be tempted!"

"Yes, that ugly device you sketched isn't half as comfortable as a carriage. I wouldn't try it!"

...

「Two days later,」

At the foot of Flying Dragon Slope in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm, Lii Xiaolan sat on the 'Profound Iron Tractor,' gripping the steering wheel tightly.

This charming Young Lady screamed while stepping hard on the accelerator.
