292: Tiankeng channel

"I went to a place and made something!" Long Yuan said.

After speaking, he took out a jade box and opened the lid. Inside, a tiny chip was hovering. It was colorless and transparent; if it weren't for the light emitting from it, it would have been almost invisible to the naked eye!

"Th-this... what kind of treasure is this?!" Zhu Nan had never seen such a magical object before, and he subconsciously assumed it must be a treasure.

"This is called a chip!" Long Yuan said with a smile.

"A chip? I wonder what miraculous properties it possesses?" Zhu Nan asked in surprise.

"Well, that's a long story. For instance, it can make a person instantly become much smarter, allowing them to grow into an expert in a certain Domain, or even potentially become a pioneering talent in that field in the future!"

"It can really do that?!" Zhu Nan said, finding it incredible.

"Indeed it can! I wonder if you, Eunuch, would like to try it? This chip was specially crafted for you. You only need to implant it into your mind, and you will possess a mastermind-type brain, making your work for Prince Fus Mansion much smoother. You would be equivalent to the role of the current Great Ming National Master, and furthermore..."

"Furthermore what?!" Zhu Nan asked anxiously.

"After implanting this chip, your Aptitude will gradually improve, and in the future, you will be able to automatically transform into a Cultivator of the Cultivation World. Moreover, you will become a Soul Warrior, which is even more mysterious and formidable than a Cultivator, much like an Advanced Mind Power Master!"

"What?! Heavens... this old servant is willing to try!!!" Zhu Nan was so overwhelmed by this information that he felt dizzy, but he agreed without hesitation.

"Sit down, Eunuch, close your eyes, and regulate your breathing. The Fusion process will be completed very quickly!" Long Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Nan sat down as instructed and began to regulate his breathing and circulate his Cultivation Technique...

With a thought, Long Yuan used his Divine Sense to pick up the chip made of yu wood and placed it on the Baihui acupoint on Zhu Nan's head, slowly fusing it inside. Throughout the process, Zhu Nan did not feel any pain; instead, he felt a warm current flow in from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, which quickly penetrated into his mind and vanished without a trace...

Immediately afterward, he felt his entire body, starting from his mind, begin to heat up slightly. His head suddenly became bright, seemingly much clearer than before. He could feel his Soul Power becoming much stronger instantly. Problems he couldn't figure out before were suddenly clear, and the Cultivation Technique that was originally obscure and difficult to understand became much smoother. He felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, warm and extremely comfortable...

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Zhu Nan opened his eyes with a hint of confusion on his face. Seeing Long Yuan staring at him, he quickly stood up and said, "Young Lord, has the Fusion been completed?"

"It has! How do you feel now?" Long Yuan asked.

"This... just now, it seemed like a warm current entered this old servant's body. I just feel that my head is clear, my body is as light as a swallow, and it feels as if I am soaking in a hot spring..." Zhu Nan described.

"Very good! You have now received an opportunity for marrow cleansing and meridian washing. Go inside and take a bath before heading back!" Long Yuan reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Nan realized there was a foul odor coming from his body. He looked at the floor and saw a large puddle of black stains, causing him to exclaim in shock, and he hurriedly rushed into the bathroom to wash up...

Long Yuan flicked his sleeve, and all the Impurities on the ground were thrown into the engulfing vent, while the breeze from his sleeve blew the foul odor away...

When Zhu Nan came out, he was glowing with health, and a look of wisdom flashed across his face. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Lord, for the grace of rebirth! This old servant will certainly exhaust his efforts for the Young Lord until his dying day!"

Long Yuan waved his hand and said, "We are in a cooperative relationship; you don't need to be so overly respectful to me. Now, take me to see the people digging the tunnel. I want to transform them into the talents I need. Additionally, find me one hundred thousand high-quality youths. I will allow them to quickly grow into useful individuals, and in the near future, they will be able to exert powerful combat effectiveness!"

"One hundred thousand?!!!" Zhu Nan exclaimed.

"That's right! One hundred thousand is just a beginning. Prince Fus Mansion wants to dominate the Blue Planet, and this amount of talent is simply not enough. What I need is an army of ten million, or even hundreds of millions, of Fu Family soldiers. They will become all kinds of talents—some for research, some for fighting, some for management, some for manufacturing, and so on..." Long Yuan said proudly.

Zhu Nan was left dumbstruck, but he quickly reacted and realized, "Young Lord, do you intend to implant corresponding chips into them just like you did with me, thereby allowing them to grow up rapidly?"

Long Yuan looked at him and smiled, "It seems your chip has already started to take effect! That's right; only in this way can our Sinkhole Base be built quickly, and our super-weapons can have the corresponding talents to operate them. You must know that the current Great Ming, and even the entire Blue Planet, is in a period before a crisis arrives. If we don't seize the time to possess powerful combat strength, all the beauty before our eyes could be shattered in an instant, plunging us into an irrecoverable situation!"

Zhu Nan broke out in a cold sweat and said solemnly, "This old servant understands! This old servant will recruit one hundred thousand mansion soldiers for the Young Lord as soon as possible to ensure the smooth completion of the base!"

"Very good, let's set off now!" The two quickly went out, got into the luxury car Zhu Nan had driven over, and headed toward the Sinkhole...

Rumble, rumble...

At the Sinkhole southwest of Southern Yue City, a large section of rock suddenly rolled down from a cliff face, startling a flock of birds that nested there. After taking flight, they circled and dived, constantly looking to see what had caused their nest, which they had painstakingly maintained for many years, to be destroyed in an instant. As it turned out, they actually found the cause!

They saw that a gap had appeared on the cliff face, and this gap was slowly growing larger until it stopped after expanding to a diameter of ten meters.

Some skeptical birds, seeing this, immediately rushed in to see what exactly was inside, thinking perhaps some treasure had emerged. As it turned out, once they rushed in, they never came out again. This provoked more birds to rush in one after another, but in the end, not a single one of them was ever seen coming out again. Moreover, faint screams could be heard from deep within the gap. This terrified the remaining birds, causing them to no longer dare to enter. Instead, they regarded this place as a forbidden zone, not daring to linger in the vicinity, let alone build nests. They all moved far away from this place, and it began to grow quiet...

Inside the gap at this moment, however, was a different scene. The newly formed ten-thousand-strong Personal Guard of Prince Fus Mansion was cheering for having broken through the passage. It hadn't been easy; it stretched all the way from Prince Fus Mansion to here, a total length of about sixty kilometers, taking over a month. The Personal Guard consisted of a total of ten thousand and one people. This extra person was the General, Zhu Huan, who was at the Early Stage of the Martial General rank. Having received favors from Prince Fu in his early years, he was the type of person willing to repay that kindness with his life. His cultivation level had also been piled up by Prince Fu using vast amounts of resources. Although his combat power was not strong, he had at least entered the Martial General level, which was considered high-end combat power in the Great Ming. Therefore, he was utterly devoted to Prince Fus Mansion. When the Personal Guard was being selected this time, he joined without hesitation and took on the position of General.
