Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Countless Family Lights
“Your Majesty, the item you sent to the Empire has yielded results.” Upon seeing Lin Qian accept his ssage request, Zhuge Ming respectfully saluted the figure that appeared on the tactical mirror and reported.
Lin Qian nodded slightly and spoke to Zhuge Ming, “What do you think? Is it of any practical value?”
“The Fire Fruit contains Fiery Fla Essence; they have an array within them, capable of absorbing nature’s spiritual energy and then transforming it into the essence of flas,” Zhuge Ming earnestly replied regarding the Fire Fruit that Lin Qian had previously sent to the Huaxia Empire.
“The Heavenly Art Departnt, which I lead, has found that by slightly altering the array within them using artifact refining techniques, we can achieve the effect Your Majesty desires.”
“Is that so?” Hearing Zhuge Ming’s affirmative answer, Lin Qian’s eyes revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
Upon seeing the Fire Fruit, Lin Qian had considered a question: could these things be used as lamps?
Although this world also had Soul Crystal Lamps, their light ca from burning Soul Crystals, sothing ordinary people couldn’t afford to use.
And they had to resort to the most primitive thod: burning fire.
Soul Martial Artists also had their troubles; using Soul Crystal Lamps could make the spiritual energy inside a house sowhat unstable.
The most important thing in cultivation is the stability of spiritual energy. So prefer to cultivate in deep mountains and old forests because the spiritual energy there is dense and the space vast. Unless intense combat breaks out, the spiritual energy won’t beco chaotic.
In a house, since the space is obviously much smaller, burning a Soul Crystal Lamp can easily affect the stability of the spiritual energy.
The Heavenly Art Departnt had a way to burn Soul Crystal Lamps without affecting the spiritual stability inside the house, but it would significantly increase the cost.
For an ordinary Soul Martial Artist to light one for a few days might not be a problem, but if used year-round, it would be a loss not worth the cost.
Therefore, after obtaining the Fire Fruit, Lin Qian had asked Zhuge Ming whether this item could be used to create a convenient and practical light source?
Low consumption, good brightness, not affecting the stability of spiritual energy, and low cost!
Not long after, Lin Qian held in his hands an eight-sided hollow crystal box. At its center floated a Fire Fruit, emitting a soft, warm glow that was also quite bright but not glaring to the eyes.
Clearly, this was the result of the research from Zhuge Ming’s Heavenly Art Departnt.
Just at that mont, the door of a Human Clan house nearby suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out toward him.
In the gathering place of the Four Clans, although everyone lived together harmoniously, the architectural styles of their houses were quite distinct.
The Human Clan’s houses were mostly constructed from cut Spirit Wood, giving the buildings an elegant appearance, and they also used sturdy stones to reinforce them.
By comparison, the houses of the Red Horn Clan seed more rugged, built from huge cut stone blocks a zhang in width and length.
As for the shorter houses, without much thought, one would know they belonged to the Dwarf Clan.
The houses of the Spirit Hoof Clan were the most simple, made by bundling Spirit Grass, but they were actually exceptionally sturdy.
However, the Spirit Hoof Clan’s houses needed frequent repairs because their clan greatly enjoyed eating Spirit Grass.
Actually, when they were on the road, Liu Fan had ntioned this to him— if one sees the Spirit Hoof Clan’s houses missing a piece here and there while in the settlent, there was no need to think twice, it was definitely because they had eaten it.
“Can’t you control your mouths?” While strolling through the settlent, Lin Qian often heard the deep roars of the Dwarf Clan.
After all, the architecture of the entire settlent was the masterpiece of the Dwarf Clan.
The Human Clan’s house before him, Lin Qian recognized at a glance, but what surprised him was that the person who rushed out of this house was that child, Little Jiang.
Little Jiang ran up to Lin Qian, his skin all red and sweating profusely.
Seeing the other’s appearance, Lin Qian knew for sure that he had taken one of his Potions.
The Huaxia Empire’s Potions differed from Pills, allowing one to choose between cultivating to digest the potion’s power or letting the potion’s effects manifest on their own.
However, if one cultivated while digesting the potion’s power, the speed was evidently much faster.
But for an Alchemist’s Pill, there was no such luxury, as one must enter a state of cultivation after consumption. Otherwise, there could only be two outcos.
One was that the potency of the Pill was too overwhelming, causing the one who consud it to literally explode, and the other was that the power of the Pill was not utilized, wastefully expending itself inside the body.
The Huaxia Empire’s Potions had none of these concerns, they were convenient and safe to consu.
“Lord, thank you!” After Little Jiang ran up to Lin Qian, he bowed in the sa way he had seen Liu Fang and the others do, thanking him. When he straightened up, his face was beaming with excitent.
Seeing Little Jiang’s gesture, Lin Qian teased with a bit of amusent, “What, you’re not going to make compensate you for the Strong Body Fruit anymore?”
Hearing Lin Qian say this, Little Jiang sheepishly scratched the back of his head, apologizing, “Lord, Little Jiang was wrong to bla you, please don’t be angry with .”
“Hahaha, I won’t get angry,” Lin Qian touched Little Jiang’s head and then looked towards his house, “What, are you ho alone?”
“Yeah, Dad went out with others to hunt nearby Soul Beasts, and Mom went to tend to the Spirit Fields,” Little Jiang nodded earnestly to Lin Qian.
After looking at Little Jiang and the Fire Pot that he had modified in his hands, Lin Qian suddenly thought of sothing and said, “Little Jiang, can I take a look at your house?”
“Of course, you can!” Seeing Lin Qian say this, Little Jiang nodded vigorously, pulling him into his own house.
The land within the settlent was also limited, so the house was not very big, just a small hall and a small room constituted everything.
After carefully observing the situation inside the house and noticing Little Jiang’s fixed gaze on the object in his hand, Lin Qian laughed, “What, want to know how to use this?”
“Yes!” Little Jiang nodded vehently, his eyes filled with anticipation at the beautiful item in Lin Qian’s hands.
Lin Qian shook the item before Little Jiang, then threw it high into the air— the object in his hand already colliding with the roof.
However, the crystalline surface of the modified Fire Fruit in Lin Qian’s hand, upon touching the beam, stuck firmly in place, its emitted light was noticeably much brighter.
“Wow!” Little Jiang looked at everything before him and imdiately exclaid in astonishnt. The warm light brightened the entire interior of the house as if the whole place had co to life, eliciting continuous amazed exclamations from him.
Seeing the result before him, Lin Qian felt extrely satisfied. He was very much looking forward to a night in the Huaxia Empire being as bustling as ever—eager to behold the day when thousands of hos in the Huaxia Empire would be alight with lights.
