With the matters on increasing the production of the mineral ores is handled, Zhang Wu Ji can feel at ease, at least until he handled the matter with the Basic Obsidian-Class Spatial Ring. Holding the ring with ten tonnes of mineral ores within, Zhang Wu Ji flies across a few mountains he did not pay attention to them previously and enjoy the scenery as he goes.

"Hey, is that where the Jining Freshwater Trout is cultivated?" Zhang Wu Ji notices four humongous wooden barriers is built outwards to the river but not covering the whole line completely. In fact, it was purposely built in this way to exploits the strength from the flowing water to trap the Jining Freshwater Trout on the long bamboo made barriers.

Through this way, they can put away the need to use a fishing net to catch the fishes. It may be a viable option for larger scale fisheries, but when this matter is put on his jurisdiction, the Master Chef who values his ingredients more than his life says;

"I would rather die if I will need to resort myself to use the manmade net or Inner Qi weaved nets to catch the fishes! This will heavily damage their muscles and made the fish less delicious when cooked!"

Filled with curiosity, Zhang Wu Ji redirected his heading and went to the Trout Cultivating Farm and greets the Master Chef and his other kitchen department subordinates. Taken into a tour around their farm, Zhang Wu Ji is surprised that the method they used is more likely to be applied in his previous world's modern salmon fish farming.

Although their equipment is not exactly as creative compared to his previous world, the lacking in many matters is replaced by applying their strands of Inner Qi. For example, after a few parts of training, they can weave their strands of Inner Qi into a net, which can be used to trap the fishes out from the river. The more creative version of using the strands of Inner Qi is to roll them into a shape of a harpoon, which pierced into the water without swayed by the current of the water. Most importantly, they do not injure the fishes when it hits.

It was a fun process to learn this kind of tricks that can help the people lack cultivation to survive better. The only unfortunate part is that their tricks carry no deadly forces, something that if one managed to master this kind of tricks, they can easily kill people without the need of having a high amount of cultivation strength.

After bidding farewell to the people that show him around, Zhang Wu Ji returned to the Wen Wu City. His daily trip up and down from the hall to the West Mountain become something young adolescents chasing for because, in the whole Wen Wu City, the number of people possessing a flying sword only amounted to thirteen people.

Headmaster Liang Tian, City Lord Yang Er, Commander of Militarized Force's Yang Yi, and the ten participants that went to Heavenly Sword Sect before.

Landing on the square where many people walking up and down, the movement of a group of cultivators belonged to the Martial Art Department is caught by Zhang Wu Ji when he landed. Looking at the two stretchers in their hand, something must happen.

Sneakily, he chased them from behind while activating the Orchid Assassination Art, and see what they're up to.

"I overheard the bandit earlier before we attacked them. They're gathering a force in somewhere northwest in order to try to attack the city." one of the disciples mentioned about this issue. From the way he speaks, it seems like he already mentioned it multiple times now.

"Let me tell you, we should put some men to defend that area, but not taking the opportunity to strike them! How if we're actually fallen into their trap?" the leader of the group listened to him and advised him to not act rashly by agreeing with his report and allocate some defense on that particular location.

"We have to take action! Although the northern side is where the Orchid Mountain located, the route to there still took one full day to reaches. If we can't even protect our own backyard, then how are we going to take back the Seven Star Sect in the future?"

"Yes! A step forward is a step closer to victory. With the only Inner Qi Lord in the Lan Shan Clan is restricted from breaking the Law of Cultivators, what threat are we to be afraid of?" another member of the group agreed with the first member's word, and brought his opinion up.

"Lanshan Lanyue is a bandit and not a cultivator! Do you think he will honor these Law of Cultivators?" the leader lectured the two for being rash, but deep inside, he himself wishes that he can take this opportunity as well. It was because he's a leader he will have to react accordingly.

Secretly, Zhang Wu Ji did not make his appearance before them, but he did heal the two injured members in the group, which was brought here with the stretchers he saw earlier. After remembering the name of their leader, Zhang Wu Ji left to the blacksmith room and begin to prepare something.

Noticing the two big containers made from mixed steel beside their entrance to the Blacksmith Department, Zhang Wu Ji smiled. With a wave of his hand, ten tonnes of mineral ores is deposited into the container, where it almost overfilled.

"Huh..." Li Jing almost wanted to sweat.

"Can you see why I call you two to prepare the containers?" he questioned the two younger brothers.

"We... Understands..." they both answer at the same time.

Inside his private Blacksmithing Room...

"Luckily, the department received my order to stores the materials like Brimstone Crystals, Salt Crystals, and hunt for the Charcoal Hound." Zhang Wu Ji inspects all the usable materials within the room and soon smiles when he noticed that all the ingredient required to forge the Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon is available.

Without any delay, Zhang Wu Ji quickly produces a total of fourteen Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon to be given to the team of seven members. Be it they proceed with the plan to raid the bandit's gathering spot or maintain a defensive measure, an additional weapon or two to protect themselves is an amazing life-saving treasure in a dangerous moment.

The moment the fifteenth Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon is completed, Zhang Wu Ji had his people to summon the leader of the team to him. Meeting the leader he saw earlier before he starts to works, Zhang Wu Ji smiled and produce a miniature cannon in his hand.

Once he injected the Fighter Qi into the cannon, it activated, and transformed into a proper 150cm long Cannon Barrel, with its tail ignited with flames. With a pull on the top handle, a fiery steel ball is fired out if the barrel, carrying the strength of a 90 points strong power to strikes on the wall built using normal bricks and masonry bricks.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Right in front of the leader of the group, that shot strikes right into the wall and created cracks all over the wall before it slowly shatters. The remaining of the wall were some on the feet, and nothing left.

"Master Senior, what is this weapon?" the leader politely asked as he kept his anxiety deep inside his heart. How can a weapon half the size of a horse-tail brush transformed into something a thousand times bigger and fired an ammunition that destroys the wall in a single shot?

Even himself may face difficulties to destroy the piece of wall, not to mention the weapon may break due to the sturdiness of the wall against his weapon.

"This item is called Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon. By inserting ten strands of Fighter Qi into the tool, it will activate the tool and spreads to its original size. This weapon is a one-time used weapon, and cannot be adjusted the moment it activates. How many members are in your team?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.

"Reporting to Master Senior, my team have seven members including myself," he replied.

"Good. Here is fourteen Yuan-Tie Hand Cannons. Distributes among your members and tell them how it is used. That's all I'm calling you here for so you may leave now." Zhang Wu Ji placed the stack of 14 miniature cannons into the leader's hand and gave him an order to leave.

"Junior Liu Xiang thanks Master Senior for his generosity." the leader cupped his hand and bowed at Zhang Wu Ji and make his way back to his team. Looking at this situation, Zhang Wu Ji cannot wait to see what decision will they choose, and how will their results turn out after his sneaky participation in giving them the opportunity to excel.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiang is still questioning their luck.

"Earlier, sixth and seventh injuries suddenly healed without anyone noticing, and now, Master Senior turn up and gave me this secret weapon to protect ourselves. Does this means..." Liu Xiang is thinking about all of this happening and wrecking his mind to think about all these coincidences.

"Our luck is good!" if Zhang Wu Ji is here standing on top of his Flying Sword, no doubt that he will fall seeing how dull is this team leader. (The pot is trying to say the charcoal black here...)

After Liu Xiang left, Zhang Wu Ji returned to his own room. He calculates the possibility of success if he were to forge a spatial ring himself, but after considering the possibility of the material might be too hard for him to obtain, he canceled the thought.

Once again, Zhang Wu Ji concentrated his mind in transforming the Tyrant Martial Body. Only after he completed a total of four trials Zhang Wu Ji stopped and decided to take a rest.

[Status: 39%]

Without anything to do now, Zhang Wu Ji is much more relaxed. Either by spending his time to do some inspection on their products and making a few trips up and down between the Wen Wu City and three villages, he did not have anything much to do.

Heading to his master's room to greet him, Zhang Wu Ji met with five of his eight senior brother and sisters. The exchanged a few words of courtesy here and continue their way to the master's room and greets him. Like usual, their master inspects their cultivation and where they should pay their attention to, except Zhang Wu Ji, who mysteriously get stronger without watching him training too much.

"This kid, I suspect he's a trash Martial Body layered with the Changliu Martial Body. Else how can his body grow stronger the moment he entered the 1st Stage of Inner Qi Fighter? If he really does possess the Changliu Martial Body, then his improvement will not face any difficulties until he reaches the border of Sheng Tian Process..." his old master speaks in his mind before he questioned them on their other progress.

"Dear master, Gen-Er went through most of the location surrounding the Wen Wu City to establish the Apprentice Physician Shop. At this moment, we have eight shops providing general physician treatment for free, but for their follow up medicine, it will cost them a small sum of money." the oldest disciple reported.

"Good. Make sure to train some of them so they can be delivered to the three villages too. As a part of our remaining people that still put confidence on us, we need to make sure we can protect them as they contribute to us." their master Liang Tian speaks, and paid his attention to the second and third disciple.

"Dear master, Yan-Er and Yuan-Er are confident to say, in one month at the most, the food supplies will be ready. We already caught over tens of thousands of the Fire Pattern Frog to cultivates, and Yuan-Er even found two Sun-Facing Fruit Tree growing in the wild. We had harvested them back to be cultivated as well."

"And from the Master Chef's replies, it seems that the Jining Freshwater Trout is growing properly. We can expect a good yield from them in another month or two. But we're still looking for as much Liver of Charcoal Hound to increase the speed of their growth and quickly reaches the spawning maturity." Han Yan continues after Li Yuan's earlier report.

"Wait!" Zhang Wu Ji stands up and went out from the room, only to return with a bag of hardened livers.

"This is all Liver of Charcoal Hounds! That's so many!" Han Yan and Li Yuan mouth gasp for air as they look at the big bag filled with livers.

"Good job, you two. Ninth, your contribution to this matter is very good as well." the headmaster praised the two of them and turned his attention at his fourth and eighth disciple.

"Dear master, Hao-Er and Ren-Er also handled the works well. Reporting to Junior brother Wu Ji, under master's order, we made a total of three hundred copies of the basic [Fist of Destruction Qi], [Physical Strengthening Compilation], [Collapsing Fist], and [Body Nourishment Technique] to be distributed to the three villages for the villagers to cultivate and strengthen their cultivation."

"After all the delivery is done, we will then focus in copying another 400 copies to be distributed into the four sides of Wen Wu City. Later on, when the teachers from the sect are well trained, we will send them to give the villagers a guidance to improve." the two of them completed their reports and step back, leaving only Zhang Wu Ji still standing close to their master.

"How about you, ninth?" Liang Tian looks at his youngest disciple. Although his strength was nothing comparable with eighth, his battling strength is amazingly higher than all of his disciples. This kind of differences in strength is most important when it comes to two strong cultivators competing against each another. In this world, although the Law of Cultivators stated that any direct participation shall not exceed the differences of three level, it did not mention that those in their Inner Qi Warrior cannot bully the Inner Qi Fighter.

"Dear master, Wu Ji handled the production problem with the miners by shifting the operation to forge them brand new pickaxes. As for the protection part, Wu Ji planned to craft the Yuan-Tie Hand Cannon to be allocated to the leaders of the guards with Fighter-Class strength."

"Wu Ji intends to pay a visit to the Mystic Engineer Establishment to made a request at my brother Yong Lie, may master approved disciple's selfish request?" his ending sentence puzzled the others.

"And for what reason is the visit?" Liang Tian nodded on his other reports but questioned him on his decision to leave the sect for a while. With someone as experienced as him, he can easily deduce that the travel will take 3 days to enter the Heavenly South County, before he took another route to the Mystic Engineer Establishment, taking another six days.

When he entered their Willow Timber County, it will take another five days for him to reaches their capital, the Peony Flower City. And his estimation did not include the possibility Zhang Wu Ji may get lost! It means he will be away for at least one month to complete his visit.

"Wu Ji has a question that he wishes to ask Brother Yong Lie from the Mystic Engineer Establishment, which related to the creation of a Spatial Ring, and a transportation." Zhang Wu Ji stated his reason for this sudden visit. His choices were most accurate to select the Mystic Engineer Establishment, but when he mentioned the word transportation, Liang Tian's expression changed.

"I will talk to Wu Ji privately, the others may leave if you have nothing else to report." Liang Tian said and look at the others as they turned around and leave after excusing themselves. Following his master, Zhang Wu Ji went close to his master who seats himself right by the side of his bed.

"You want to create your own spatial ring?" Liang Tian asked.

"Yes, master. Wu Ji wanted to forge his own Spatial Rings." Zhang Wu Ji answered his master's question.

"And do you understand what it means when you mentioned [Transportation]?" Liang Tian asked his second question.

"Something that can be used to let a person went from one side to another?" he answered once more.

"The transport you mentioned... is known as Metal Bird. I've seen one of them when I'm younger. It was a giant flying metal bird that was powered by something known to the cultivator as Qi Weaving Stone." Liang Tian took a piece of weird looking fluorescent crystals out from his spatial ring and handed to Zhang Wu Ji for a look.

Small Fighter Qi Weaving Stone

-Capacity: 10,000 Strands of Fighter Qi | Contains: 3,200 Strands of Fighter Qi

-Quality: Small | Durability: -/- (Will turn into ash if empty)

-Information: A natural Qi Weaving stone of Fighter Qi Quality. Allows storage of Fighter Qi within to activated any mechanical equipment crafted by a Celestial Designer.

"It seems that this piece of stone can store Strands of Qi to be used later." Zhang Wu Ji returned the stone into his master's hand as he gave his opinion regarding this Qi Weaving Stone.

"Yes. It is a small Qi Weaving Stone. Each of them cost 200,000 Qi Sensing Pills if you're purchasing them from the Upper South Merchant Corporation directly. Their cost is extremely expensive because by possessing a small Qi Weaving Stone like this, you're able to activate a Metal Bird to fly in the sky for 100 days without the need to comes down."

"As for the Metal Bird I've said, I only encountered them twice. The first one belonged to the Southern Imperial Kingdom's Master Teacher, Zhao Yun. As for the second, they've belonged to the Mystic Engineer Establishment's Grand Hall Master, a Third-Grade Celestial Designer, Master Windchaser." his master explains the cost required to purchase one of the stone, and also the only two people he knows they possess the Metal Bird.

"I will let somebody lead you there since you're so blind with directions." his master laughed and said to him. The word made Zhang Wu Ji turn speechless from the leakage of his weaknesses.

"How do you know about it, master?" Zhang Wu Ji curiously asked.

Then, from the side study room, Meng Ran appeared.

"If little Meng Ran never tell me about it, I will still be blank about all of this." he smiled and revealed the fact Meng Ran told him earlier.

"Brat, how dare you lied on the lass. Luckily I know her father, else you're in deep trouble now!" his master whispers the word to his ears to warn him for not trying to bullshit people around anymore.

"Disciple Wu Ji understood." Zhang Wu Ji softly replied. But in his heart, a complaint has been made.

"I just bullshit for the first time and it already got caught! How am I going to live for the rest of this life!"
