Sitting beside the driver's seat, Zhao Yufei was extremely nervous. "Sister Lii, quickly, quickly, turn the steering wheel! We're about to hit that big rock in front!"

Lii Xiaolan's long hair flowed in the wind as she shouted continuously, "AAAAAHHHH, this is so exhilarating! I'm shifting to fourth gear!"

Zhao Yufei yelled up Flying Dragon Slope, "Miss Xiao, can't you design a fifth or sixth gear? It would be even better if it could go faster!"

Lin Xuankong was speechless. These two! They said they weren't interested in trying out the tractor I designed! Besides, this is a tractor, and they're treating it like a race car...

Soon enough, on the tractor, Lii Xiaolan and Zhao Yufei were already arguing.

"Sister Lii, you said you'd drive for one cup of tea's time, then switch with me. Get down, I want to control the steering wheel!"

"Yufei, just let me drive for one more cup of tea's time. I'll make you some delicious elixirs later!"

"Huh, why did it stop? There's no power! Quick, switch in another Profound Truth Jade Particle. I want to drive the tractor all day today!"

On Flying Dragon Slope, Lin Xuankong couldn't stand it anymore.

He shouted at Lii Xiaolan and Zhao Yufei, "You two have mastered the driving skills; you just need to teach the common people! One is a Princess Consort of Ba Mountain Secret Realm, and the other is a Female Prime Minister. Do you really intend to drive the tractor all day long?"

"We just want to drive, just for today!" Lii Xiaolan laughed.

Lin Xuankong shook his head helplessly and looked at Xiao Xiuyi beside him.

"Miss Xiao is indeed an Artifact Refining Genius. I didn't even remind you, and you managed to think of using inflated Marsh Python Skin to make wheels. This way, by replacing the Profound Iron wheels, it can significantly reduce the tractor's weight and decrease the consumption of Profound Truth Jade Particles! And the fact that Miss Xiao could design the Profound Iron Tractor so quickly truly amazed me!"

Xiao Xiuyi smiled. "Actually, it wasn't difficult because Brother Lin had already told me the design ideas! This Profound Iron Tractor is much simpler than refining an Immortal Artifact, or even Battle Armor; there's no need for size changes either! In fact, most of the time was spent refining a large number of Profound Iron Components!"

She pointed behind her. "Once these Profound Iron Components are assembled, approximately ten Profound Iron Tractors can be put together! As for the designs Brother Lin gave me later for things like bulldozers, excavators, and cranes, they are slightly more complex than this Profound Iron Tractor. However, they aren't too difficult; given a few days, I should be able to design all of them!"

Lin Xuankong said, "Miss Xiao, you're dedicated to studying the Artifact Refining Technique! Refining these items takes up a lot of your time; I feel rather bad about it!"

Xiao Xiuyi shook her head slightly, a hint of admiration in her eyes as she looked at Lin Xuankong. "Brother Lin, your imaginative ideas surprise me! Even though I've just started refining these special devices, I can already foresee the tremendous changes they will bring to the lives and work of ordinary people if they become more common. It will be a massive transformation! The main thing is, even if other Cultivators could conceive of such things, they would absolutely not bother to ask Artifact Refiners to craft these devices. Cultivators generally look down on common people; how many would be willing to invest their efforts for ordinary folk? They certainly wouldn't be willing to spend their True Qi to infuse Profound Truth Jade Particles to power these devices! In my view, Brother Lin, your intentions and actions are truly unique in this world! This compassionate nature, this care for the weak, truly commands my respect!"

Being praised like this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but wave his hands repeatedly.

"Miss Xiao, you're joking. I'm just planning to let the gathered common people utilize these devices to cultivate and plant more medicinal herbs! It's merely a matter of mutual benefit, absolutely nothing to do with compassion or caring for the weak!"

Xiao Xiuyi continued to smile at him.

"Regardless, Brother Lin, your devices can significantly improve those people's work efficiency. Just for this thoughtful intention of yours, I am willing to put more effort into developing these devices and producing more!"

At this point, she thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Lin, your devices aren't particularly complex. In the future, when you gather people into the Secret Realm, you can select some clever girls to come to me. I can teach them the methods to manufacture these devices, which would greatly accelerate the production speed!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong's eyes brightened. "If Miss Xiao is willing to teach some disciples, that would be even better!"

Currently, in the Secret Realm, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan is in charge of medicinal herb management and overall affairs, while Second Lady Zhao Yufei is responsible for personnel management, rewards, and punishments. This Miss Xiao, with her extraordinary Artifact Refining Talent, is undoubtedly the perfect candidate for Minister of the Research Department!

「Several days later.」

Lin Xuankong stood on a peak within the Secret Realm, looking at the thousands of people gathered in the distance, their families in tow.

These people had been secretly gathered by Li Xiaohu from the Feng Family's territories. For Little Hu and Li Er, who had completely taken control of the Feng Family, mobilizing a few thousand people from the Feng Family's Outer City Towns, which had a population of two to three hundred thousand, was very simple indeed!

At this moment, Zhao Yufei, clad in Silver-White Battle Armor, stood before the many anxious people, announcing necessary rules and various rewards and punishments. Coming from a prestigious family, Zhao Yufei had often managed some of the Zhao Family's Outer City Towns, so she was very familiar with these tasks.

As they listened to Zhao Yufei's announcements, the initially anxious faces of these people—sallow, covered in dirt, and numb with hardship—gradually showed expressions of shock.

The reason for their shock was that this powerful Cultivator before them had just announced that they could possess their own plots of land. Moreover, Zhao Yufei declared that aside from properly cultivating medicinal herbs, they only needed to hand over thirty percent of the grains and crops grown on the land they themselves reclaimed!

How could these people not be shocked? Back in the Feng Family's Outer City, these people didn't own even an inch of land; they were little more than slaves to the Feng Family, and their treatment was far worse than that of the common folk in Great Marsh Prefecture City!

As for the various machines placed before them, they were utterly bewildered—after all, people of the Great Xia Dynasty had never seen a tractor before.

Watching this scene, Lin Xuankong smiled.

These thousands of people are just the beginning, and these dozens of Profound Iron Machinery are just the start! Once some time passes and the sound of mechanical farming echoes throughout Ba Mountain Secret Realm, will I still need to worry about Qi Blood consumption? The medicinal herbs from thousands of miles of vast land, mostly for my exclusive use—that should be enough, right?

「The next moment.」

Lin Xuankong's figure flashed to Flying Dragon Slope in Ba Mountain.

He looked at the busy Xiao Xiuyi. "Miss Xiao, I've had my people acquire all five Demon Pearls from the Prison Dragon City auction. But you still haven't told me how to make the Immortal Sword devour the Demon Pearls!"

As he finished speaking, Lin Xuankong's eyes filled with anticipation. The Cyan Nether Immortal Sword in his hand was his strongest weapon and primary offensive means. Its every bit of growth would significantly enhance his power.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiuyi raised her delicate brows. "For the Cyan Nether Immortal Sword to devour and grow, you must prepare the Demon Pearls along with equivalent amounts of Geng Metal Crystal Stone and Li Fire Crystal. Simply having Demon Pearls won't do!"

Lin Xuankong frowned. "Geng Metal Crystal Stone, Li Fire Crystal?"

These two items... I've only heard Miss Xiao mention them. Where on earth can I find them?!

Xiao Xiuyi saw his frowning face and suddenly started to laugh.
