The Peerless Emperor

Ancient tomes, exceedingly valuable ancient tomes, were spread out before Zhuge Ming.

These tomes, all a collection of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan, were indeed valuable, but it could be said without hesitation that, in Lan Ning's eyes, their worth paled in comparison to the modified techniques of the vast realms of the stars.

Therefore, knowing that Lin Qian needed to consult a large number of tomes, Lan Ning did not hesitate to lend them to him.

Especially knowing that after consulting these tomes, it might make the cultivation techniques of the vast realms of the stars even more powerful, Lan Ning directly closed off their clan's Scripture Pavilion, allowing Lin Qian to take whatever he wanted.

At the same time, the promotion of the starry realms' cultivation techniques was also postponed.

At this moment, Lan Ning and Lan Yi were both in the courtyard where Lin Qian and his group resided, with the courtyard's array fully activated, both adorned with numerous detection tokens, channeling their soul energy with all their might.

Elsewhere, Lan Fenger, following Lin Qian's instructions, continued to attack her father and grandfather, employing various angles and different situations.

Even later on, Lan Ning and Lan Yi began sparring with each other.

This scene was very familiar to Lan Fenger; when customizing her cultivation technique back then, similar actions had been taken.

To make the cultivation techniques more compatible with their situations, they even had to simulate scenarios where their soul energy was completely expended or when they were severely injured, among others.

Severe injury naturally meant inflicting wounds upon oneself.

Despite the bizarre request from Lin Qian, Lan Ning and Lan Yi, after a brief hesitation, didn't refuse and went ahead with it.

What shocked them, however, was that after inflicting injuries upon themselves, Lin Qian passed them a crystal bottle containing a bright red medicinal fluid, which, after consumption, incredibly sped up the healing of their internal injuries.

Both were astounded, as with their realm, a pill capable of such rapid healing would definitely be exorbitantly priced; had Lin Qian really just administered it to them?

Both Lan Ning and Lan Yi had an illusion that somehow, their Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan didn't seem as wealthy as their new son-in-law, Lin Qian?

However, what they perceived as an illusion was, in fact, the stark reality!

Lin Qian's inner Xuanhuan Star was already beyond the wealth of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan.

After completing various tests, Zhuge Ming began crafting the customized cultivation techniques for them.

Perhaps to the other members of their clan, and to the entire Sea Spiral Star Domain, they were considered mighty; but to Zhuge Ming, they were no more than children, easily extinguishable with a sneeze.

Creating cultivation techniques for them was still effortless, with no difficulty; by the afternoon following that morning's detections, Lin Qian passed on the cultivation techniques to them.

Such a terrifying speed left them speechless, trembling as they rifled through the tomes.

After completing their reading, they both immediately sat down to begin cultivation, immersed in the process for a full five years!

Five years were, for Lin Qian now, of no matter.

When Lan Ning and Lan Yi opened their eyes, they clearly felt that their internal realm had undergone a revolutionary transformation.

Merely switching cultivation techniques had allowed their realm to advance, a gain that was utterly unexpected.

At that moment, they realized that only Lin Qian and Ye Xin were seated in the courtyard, engaged in a serious discussion.

"Increasing the number of universities by a hundred isn't really necessary. It would be better to focus on research institutes, which could yield better results," Ye Xin said earnestly to Lin Qian.

Lin Qian shook his head and began to explain in detail to Ye Xin, "It's not like that. With the population of Soul Martial Star growing rapidly, if we wait for the next generation to grow up before building more universities, it will be too late. By then, many people will have no university to attend!"

"Don't forget, the main focus should be on serving the people, satisfying the needs of the masses. The number of research institutes in the Huaxia Empire is already sufficient; they just need to be expanded."

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xin pulled out a scroll and carefully read through it before nodding her head, "Indeed, I overlooked the aspect of the population surge."

"Then let's proceed with that, and you can choose the locations, my lady. In this matter, you are far more skilled than I."

"I know," Ye Xin obediently nodded, finding a more comfortable position in Lin Qian's embrace, and took out a map of the Huaxia Empire to carefully examine it.

At this time, Lin Qian also felt something, turned his head toward the side, and showed a smile, "Great Grandfather and Grandfather, have you finished your cultivation? How do you feel?"

Lan Ning and Lan Yi were initially curious about what subject Lin Qian and Ye Xin were debating.

Upon hearing Lin Qian's inquiry, Lan Ning sighed with emotion, "How do we feel? Now, it seems that the cultivation techniques we practiced before are completely inferior, which is astonishing."

On the other side, Lan Yi also nodded, "With this cultivation technique, it's like night and day compared to the old ones."

"Yes, you have made a breakthrough." It was then that Lan Ning noticed that Lin Qian and Ye Xin had undergone a change. The two had already successfully broken through to the First Level of the Qi Refining Realm, transitioning from the Body Realm and making their cultivation breakthrough.

After advancing their realm, their chances of entering the Sea Spiral Holy Institute had greatly increased, becoming more secure than before.

Following this, Lan Ning regained his composure and asked Lin Qian, "Little Qian, how long did our cultivation session take this time?"

"It took five whole years!" Lan Ning had just asked when Lin Qian immediately responded.

"Five years? It's not too long. But if calculated like this, it seems we are not far from the start of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute's trials," Lan Ning said after a moment's thought.

Lin Qian nodded and spoke, "I've heard that other members of the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix clan who have quotas have already set out early toward the Sea Spiral Holy Institute."

"Setting out early can help one become familiar with the environment and forge relationships with talented youths from other powers. When the time of the trials arrives, it will be beneficial to cooperate. Indeed, there are advantages to going ahead," Lan Yi nodded, looking curiously at Lin Qian and Ye Xin, "Why don't you two head there early too?"

"Mother said to wait until Great Grandfather and Grandfather have finished cultivating, then have you both personally escort us to the Sea Spiral Holy Institute. That would be safer," Ye Xin, sitting in Lin Qian's embrace, also raised her head and spoke with a smile.

Hearing this, Lan Ning couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha, this girl truly cherishes her daughter and son-in-law, afraid of even the slightest mishap. Indeed, it will be very safe if we escort you."

"However, I must stay and lead our clan. Perhaps it is not appropriate for me to take you. It would be better to have your Grandfather escort you." Lan Ning said, and Lan Yi nodded on the side.

Lin Qian's eyes intensified upon hearing this, and a look of yearning burst forth, "The Sea Spiral Holy Institute, huh?"

At this time, Lan Yi took out a Communication Crystal and after carefully reviewing the contents, looked up at Lin Qian with a smile, "Little Qian, your rewards have arrived!"

"The materials for the puppet body have arrived!" At the words of Lan Yi, joy surged in Lin Qian's heart!
