The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1318 - 1319: Order and Discipline

Lin Qian now needs a noble identity, specifically within the Eight-eyed Divine Race.

Even within the Eight-eyed Divine Race, there are tiers of distinction.

To enter the library, one must have a noble identity; commoners are not qualified to enter.

Slaves? They don't even have the qualification to approach.

A noble identity is not easily obtained, ranging from level one as the lowest to level five as the highest.

Nobles above level five naturally belong to the direct line of the Eight-eyed Divine Race and are the most distinguished.

Lin Qian disguised as a member of the Eight-eyed Divine Race, acting as a merchant with considerable wealth, but still the lowest class of commoner.

To be promoted to nobility, one must make contributions.

And the simplest and quickest method to become a noble is through mining veins.

After mining veins, the mined soul crystal spirit ores are handed over as contributions to the direct line of the Eight-eyed Divine Race, garnering merit.

A level one noble can have numerous privileges, such as entry into the library.

This is sufficient, and what Lin Qian needs is to enter the library.

There's no way around it. The library is a heavily guarded place, and if Lin Qian attempts a forceful attack, the opponent will certainly choose to destroy it.

A direct attack is impossible; he must rely on strategy.

Lin Qian chooses to mine veins, using it as a cover, and after some time, directly submit soul crystals without arousing suspicion.

During this process, Lin Qian can also use pupil coins to purchase and rescue slaves in large numbers.

After all, these pupil coins are worthless and a means to gain something from nothing.

In doing so, the slaves in the mines are inevitably saved, avoiding death in the crossfire of war.

So, this achieves multiple goals.

Upon earning contributions to become a level one noble, Lin Qian can just enter the library and implant array viruses to take control.

In an instant, he can empty the library of its vast collection.

With the library's collection, Lin Qian will gain more information and intelligence about the Eight-eyed Divine Race and the Netherworld Clan.

This will greatly assist in future conflicts with the Netherworld Clan.

Now, the thing to do is wait.

Lin Qian wanders aimlessly in the main city, passing time.

As he moves casually, his mind gives orders to the ghosts disguised as the merchants.

To outsiders, Lin Qian and the disguised ghosts appear to be partners in the mining business.

Perhaps others see Lin Qian and the disguised ghosts wandering the city, purchasing tools and slaves for mining.

Actually, Lin Qian is observing the noble residence on the northern side of the main city.

He believes that this noble residence contains abundant treasures.

To breach this noble residence?

No difficulty in that; the issue is how to quickly prevent the opponent from destroying these treasures and secure the residence.

Let's take it step by step.

After observing, Lin Qian has an epiphany and gains some understanding.

Having quantified internally, he turns around, returning to his mansion to sit cross-legged, entering a state of cultivation.

Enhancing personal realm strength is still the unchanging theme, and stabilizing the realm is the proper path.

Once completely stable, Lin Qian knows it will be his time for breakthrough.

Breaking through realms, sweeping across the heavens effortlessly.

At that time, he will face shattering the void, ascending to the celestial Upper Realm.

However, before ascending, there are matters in the mundane Lower Realm to thoroughly resolve.

At least ensure two to three decades of stable times, and this stability will be enough for him to secure a foothold in the celestial Upper Realm.

Once he's firmly established, he can set up teleportation arrays, enabling free travel between the famed celestial Upper Realm and mundane Lower Realm without obstruction.

Then, it will be much more convenient.

Planning an attack on the celestial Upper Realm will also be better.

The period of secluded cultivation passes quickly, and another ten years go by.

For ten years, Lin Qian pays no heed to anything, focusing solely on cultivation.

The matters of the outside world, he believes, need no attention from him.

Soon after, when Lin Qian exits the cultivation state and wakes, he remains stationary.

"Almost there!" Lin Qian softly exhales, knowing the breakthrough is imminent.

Upon awakening, he learns that the battlefield of Yuan Jingtian remains unchanged.

Although there are skirmishes and frictions, Yuan Jingtian and the Eight-eyed Divine Race still hold some advantages and are relatively profitable.

Regarding this situation, Lin Qian had long anticipated and prepared for it.

The forces of Yuan Jingtian and the Eight-eyed Divine Race combined far surpass the seven Overlord Level forces of Nanmenshan and Beixuan Heaven, as expected.

In such conditions, both sides are cautious, occasionally probing each other by sending subordinates to engage and determine the opponent's condition.

It's merely probing; the war will drag on for a long time.

After all, they are not like the Huaxia Empire, a complete anomaly, never playing by the rules, fighting crazily with terrifying strength.

Lin Qian rises, ignoring the battlefield; he now needs to visit the mine veins.

After the visit, pretend to collect soul crystal spirit ores, submit them as contributions, elevate to a level one noble, and enter the library.

Upon entering the mine veins, Lin Qian finds a bustling scene.

The slaves he purchased are diligently working to mine the veins, with the ghost shadows transformed into the Eight-eyed Divine Race moving around nearby.

Unlike slaves of other mines, these individuals' faces are not dull and lifeless but rather flushed and earnest.

Such a state comes from genuine effort rather than forced labor.

Lin Qian appears, and Mu Xin, also laboring, instantly notices and rushes over to kneel: "Master."

"How did you manage this?" Lin Qian does not allow Mu Xin to rise but instead observes the surroundings without disturbing others, asking the kneeling person before him.

Seeing Lin Qian's inquiry, Mu Xin explains his arrangements thoroughly.

Mu Xin thought to himself that although Lin Qian said they could move freely, without restriction.

Yet staying idle here is unworthy of Lin Qian's generosity and kindness; they'd also waste away in the mines, driven crazy.

Given this, rather than let the mines sit idle, mining them would be better.

Moreover, Lin Qian mentioned that everything here is under his control.

So, he divided people into four shifts, each working for three hours, rotating across twelve hours. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Thus, work efficiency is good, with labor spanning twelve hours, yet not overly exhausting people to death.

On the contrary, this workload is something they could never have imagined living.
