The system is the proficiency panel

A month later, people and goods from different places were circulating in various cities within the Xuantian Sect. The biggest problem was currency chaos, but Lin Ji was not going to solve it now. He would wait until the East Continent was unified.

Other forces in the East Continent were very puzzled about the Xuantian Sect’s establishment of the Xuantian Empire. Managing these mortals did not bring any benefit to cultivators, but instead wasted their time for cultivation.

Lin Ji stopped practicing in the City Lord's Mansion. His current water power: control proficiency has reached 40. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to comprehend it before the attack begins. He stood up and prepared to go to the weapon refining factory to see the progress of Jin Zhe and others.

The equipment refinery has not changed much compared to before. The only new thing is the Tianshu City floating in the sky. In order to complete the task assigned by Lin Ji, He Ming and the other two disguised themselves and left Tianshu City to conduct research with Jin Zhe.

At this time, in a factory, Jin Zhe and other three people were watching a three-meter-tall armor moving quickly in front of them. From time to time, the armor fired spiritual bullets from the guns in their hands. The bullets were very powerful, and one bullet could penetrate a 10-centimeter iron plate.

Papa! Lin Ji clapped his hands and walked into the factory to Jin Zhe and the other three.

"Amazing! It was made in just one month?"

"Miaozi, it's barely finished, but there are still many flaws."

Jin Zhe felt a little embarrassed by Lin Ji's praise.

"Tell me."

Lin Ji walked up to the armor and observed it carefully. Jin Zhe and the other three followed behind. He Ming then asked the person in the armor to come out. He was a young man about the same age as Lin Ji, a mortal. He was very nervous when he came out. Jin Zhe asked the young man to step back.

"Daozi, this mortal was recommended by a monk from the school. He said he is very clever and smart."

"Well, Jinzhe, you should first tell me the advantages and disadvantages of this armor."

Hearing Lin Ji's question, Jin Zhe spoke with a slightly proud tone.

"This armor is made entirely of low-grade spiritual materials, and has four array patterns on it, with functions for spiritual absorption, strength, light iron, and defense. It can definitely defend against all attacks from the Qi training stage."

The boastful Jin Zhe changed his words under Lin Ji's sharp gaze.

"Ahem... the prerequisite is that you are a Qi-cultivating cultivator who has not comprehended the potential. The disadvantage is that the spiritual energy supply is insufficient. It is still a bit difficult to use this armor with only the spiritual absorption array. It is completely useless in places where spiritual energy is scarce. In addition, the speed is slow, only 100 meters per second."

"As for the Spiritual Power Gun, it is very simple, and is also made of low-grade spiritual materials. It is very heavy, and a mortal can only lift it if he is wearing armor. It has three formations, and its functions are to absorb spirits, gather them, and fire them. It is powerful enough to kill a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage, but it poses no threat to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

After listening to Jin Zhe's words, Lin Ji thought it was not bad.

“What about the manufacturing speed?”

"At full capacity, the refinery can produce about four spiritual armors a day, and 20 spiritual guns."

After listening to this, Lin Ji walked towards the young man who was driving the armor. He felt a little nervous when he saw Lin Ji coming.

"Hello, what do you think of the spiritual armor? Do you feel any discomfort when using it? Speak boldly."

"The armor is very powerful. For us mortals, it is like a treasure bestowed by immortals. As for the discomfort... it is quite stuffy inside the armor. I will sweat all over after moving around."

As the boy spoke, he showed off his wet clothes. After Lin Ji understood the feeling of the boy driving the armor, he gave orders to Jin Zhe and the other three behind him.

"Find a way to solve the problem of the armor's spiritual power and its suffocation for mortals, and then produce at least 500 spiritual armors and spiritual guns within five months. Of course, it would be even better if there were some improvements."

"It's Michiko."

After hearing the answers from Jin Zhe and others, Lin Ji left with satisfaction. Then the young man came to Jin Zhe cautiously and asked.

"Master Jin, can I continue to try the spiritual armor?"

"Of course, we'll need you to help with the tests later. Yu Wen, remember to tell us if you feel any discomfort."

"Okay, Master Jin."

Then Yu Wen walked towards the armor happily. This extraordinary power was too attractive to him, a mortal.

……

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Ji was found by Yu Shui using his mental power.

"How is your Xuantian Empire going?"

"Master, I did act on my own initiative. Please punish me, but I think establishing a country will be of great help when I leave Kaiyang Star in the future."

Lin Ji, who thought that Zhenjun was here to call him to account, immediately admitted his mistake and stated his reasons.

"I am not here to ask you for punishment. Since I chose you to be my disciple, I will not interfere with you too much. Besides, the establishment of the Xuantian Empire has no impact on the Xuantian Sect. I am seriously asking you what you think of the Xuantian Empire."

"It can barely be considered a country. After this period of time, a small number of mortals have returned to the Xuantian Empire. In addition, monks often patrol the surrounding areas and kill monsters and bandits. The trade between mortals has spread all over the country. I plan to set up schools in various cities in a while. Anyway, as long as the Wood Realm monks take action, as much ordinary food as you want will be enough to supply children to learn the knowledge of Water Blue Star from an early age. Maybe a hundred years later, they can also develop technology like the humans of Water Blue Star."

"Lin Ji, you are thinking far ahead. If that's the case, just go ahead and do it."

'Thank you for your kindness, Lord.'

The conversation between Lin Ji and Zhenjun ended here. Lin Ji relaxed and went to find Luo Youran who was still working.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Luo Youran was a little afraid of Lin Ji's visits. Her task became heavier every time he came. If this continued, she would have to work all night. After the establishment of the Xuantian Empire, most of the things would have to be handled by her because the officials of various cities had not yet been determined. This situation would continue for some time.

"Two things. First, gather mortals to form an army. It's best if they have studied in school or have experience in fighting. At least 30 people are needed. If there is not enough food, arrange for the Wood Realm Foundation Establishment cultivators to take action."

"Second, set up schools in various cities to allow children who do not have the talent for cultivation to learn knowledge. This is not urgent and can be postponed."

Lin Ji said this as he came to Luo Youran, picked her up and held her against his arms to comfort her.

"You Ran, I'll trouble you for a while."

"Hmph...don't move. Let me have a good rest."

As Luo Youran spoke, she found a comfortable position in Lin Ji's arms and took a nap. Lin Ji would naturally meet her request and stroke her ink-black long hair. After the two of them were affectionate for a while, Luo Youran spoke.

"Okay, Master, put me down. I have to continue working."

Hearing this, Lin Ji stood up, put Luo Youran on the chair, and kissed her on the cheek.

"Well, I should go practice too."

The two separated and Lin Ji returned to his room to continue practicing. He didn't need to do anything else, he just needed to ensure rapid progress in his cultivation.

……

Three months later, Lin Ji stopped practicing in the room. The water potential control proficiency on the panel had reached 80, and he would definitely be able to comprehend it in two months.

It was just daybreak when Lin Ji stood up and looked out the window, thinking about what had happened in the past few months.

Xiao Ningxue established her artistic conception a month ago and began to participate in the research on spiritual armor and spiritual guns. It is still unknown what progress has been made.

The Xuantian Empire has also taken root in the hearts of mortals. This is thanks to the fact that the policies issued by Luo Youran are indeed very beneficial to them. Also, because the city is now managed by foundation-building cultivators, who do not care about fame and fortune in the mortal world. If it were not for Daozi's order, they would not want to care about these mortals at all. This also leads to their very good reputation, which is what mortals say is honest and incorruptible.

The 30 mortal army that Lin Ji wanted was also established near Xuantian City. Most of them were mortals near Xuantian City. They were very enthusiastic about joining the army. It was said that it was because a teenager named Yu Wen revealed the matter of spiritual armor. Among them, 10 people had studied in school and could read, write and do basic arithmetic, which made Lin Ji very satisfied.

At this time, Lin Ji came to the place where the army was stationed. The two cultivators who were in the Wood Realm Foundation Establishment were in charge of this place. They could also supply food. Lin Ji's arrival attracted the attention of the two cultivators.

"Hello, Daozi. Why are you here? There are mortals here training. They are sweating all over every day. It's really not suitable for you to come here."

A beautiful female cultivator was complimenting Lin Ji while expressing her dissatisfaction. At this time, the male cultivator next to him came out to smooth things over.

"Please forgive me Daozi. My wife likes cleanliness. The deputy city lord ordered my wife and I to manage these mortals and provide them with food. In addition, these mortals are often covered in sweat, which made her feel uncomfortable and confused for a while."

Lin Ji would not blame the female cultivators. It was normal for them to feel dissatisfied when these cultivators, who had basically no contact with mortals, were asked to manage mortals and waste their cultivation time.

"It's alright, don't worry. In two months you won't have to manage these people anymore. Take me in to have a look. The mortals inside should be training right now, right?"

"Michiko is magnanimous."

The male cultivator said as he took Lin Ji to the training camp. The female cultivator also realized that she had a bad attitude before and apologized to Lin Ji.

The army training ground is very large. Since there are too many people, the training has to be managed separately. They are trained by generals with war experience summoned from various cities. The main task of this monk couple is to prevent these generals from smuggling goods during training, and then provide food, and there is nothing else to do.

The three of them were watching the soldiers' training below from the air. To be honest, Lin Ji couldn't see anything, but seeing that their steps were quite neat, they should have been well trained, right?

"Tell them to stop, I have something to announce."

Lin Ji gave orders to the couple behind him, and then the male cultivator spoke using his spiritual power.

"All soldiers, listen up! Stop the training first. Xuantian Sect Taoist has something to say!"

Although the crowd below did not know who Daozi was, they knew that the voice came from the cultivator in charge of this place, so they immediately stopped training and quickly stood up under the command of the general. Lin Ji looked at the barely neat formation below, and then used his spiritual power to condense a phantom a thousand meters high in the air. When the crowd below was stunned in shock, Lin Ji spoke.
