Diary—Chapter 194 - Dai Yutian: Family Affection Will Not Disappear, But It Will Shift! Giving Birth to a Son?
"Body Martial Soul?" Dai Yutian was somewhat puzzled.
The next moment, Dai Yichen unleashed his Martial Soul—Spirit Eyes Martial Soul. Golden light shone from his eyes, and a vertical pupil pattern appeared on his forehead: "This is my second Soul Martial Soul, Spirit Eyes, a spiritual-type Soul Martial Soul."
Afterward, Dai Yichen explained the concept of the Body Martial Soul to Dai Yutian.
"This is truly amazing. Does this mean that some of those who failed their Soul Martial Soul awakenings in the past had a certain probability of awakening a Body Martial Soul due to a mutation and were mistakenly considered to have failed the awakening?"
Of course, the probability of failure in Soul Martial Soul awakening is very small, less than one in a thousand. Whether that individual awakens a Body Martial Soul is another matter.
"Oh, right. During the half-year or so that you were away, a commoner Soul Master with good talent came to the academy. She also has the token you gave her. I have already arranged the best cultivation resources for her. I didn't expect you would bring back a person with Innate full Soul Power on your trip!"
"Also, Lou Gao and his group of blacksmiths have arrived. I have already cleared out a relatively large area within the academy and converted it into the Soul Guidance Academy. The needed funds and materials are being supplied one after another. Everything is proceeding smoothly."
After speaking, Dai Yutian sighed: "I just hope that this Soul Guidance research can yield results. To be honest, it's very costly. Some of the expenses were taken from military reserves and my personal treasury."
Dai Yichen had expected some funds to be transferred from the military reserves—after all, the military would be equipped with Godly Zhuge Crossbows and other Hidden Weapons in the future, so it was justifiable for the military to contribute funds. But why did the personal treasury also have to contribute?
Seeing Dai Yichen's doubts, Dai Yutian could only say: "Didn't you say that Soul Guidance Device production should be kept secret? In that case, too much money cannot be transferred from the national treasury; otherwise, some ministers will impeach me. This plan is being carried out in secret, so the funds can naturally only come from my side!"
Looking at Dai Yutian, who was clearly in pain, Dai Yichen deeply despised him: "What's wrong with taking a little money from your personal treasury? You're an emperor—don't tell me you have no money."
Dai Yutian lamented: "There are some secrets you may not know. Before the Clear Sky Sect sealed off the mountain, my Star Luo Empire needed to pay tribute to them in exchange for their support. Otherwise, why do you think the continent subtly believes that the Clear Sky Sect supports us?"
"So, during that time, our royal family's funds were very tight. There were many places where money was needed. It is also because of this that the Spirit Hall's branch halls have been able to open in the Empire all along—after all, this saves a lot of money."
Don't look at the Star Luo Empire's glamorous appearance, but due to Spirit Hall's interference and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect openly supporting the Heaven Dou Empire, what's the use of the Star Luo Empire's powerful military?
The top experts are still not enough, so they can only cooperate with the Clear Sky Sect.
Dai Yutian sometimes wonders if the Heaven Dou Empire's territory is too good. All three of the upper sects are within the Heaven Dou Empire. If they had one here...
Dai Yichen also learned about these secrets for the first time. He thought that the Clear Sky Sect was willingly supporting the Star Luo Empire. It seems he was still naive. If there were no benefits, why would the Clear Sky Sect support you?
So he said, "Once the Godly Zhuge Crossbow is released, it will cause a shock across the continent. When the time comes, I will give you 20% of the profits."
"What? Only 20%?" Dai Yutian was immediately dissatisfied.
Dai Yichen was speechless: "20% is a lot, okay? All you're doing is helping to collect materials and providing accommodation. I gave you the blueprints, and I'll have to continue investing the money I earn into Soul Guidance Device production later. It's very expensive."
"Oh? So, I don't have to give any more money later?" Dai Yutian thought about it. If that's the case, getting 20% of the profits for nothing isn't bad.
"That's fine. Oh, right—after this trip, you and Dugu Bo..."
Dai Yichen said, "Dugu Bo and I are now considered friends. You might not believe it, but he intends to match me with his granddaughter."
