The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 644 - 645: Can’t Help Falling in Love
Chapter 644 -645: Can’t Help Falling in Love
“Huaxia Empire does not judge you by your race, but by your abilities, and what you can bring to this Empire,” Lin Qian looked at Cuiyu in front of him and slowly spoke, “As long as you can continue to live well and keep improving yourself, you are contributing to the Empire.”
“When every citizen of the Huaxia Empire strives to live well and become stronger, the entire Empire will become better and stronger.”
“Heroes are not defined by their origins, regardless of your race. As long as you are a citizen of the Huaxia Empire, you are one of the Huaxia People.”
“Returning to your initial question, the Muling Clan is doing very well in the Huaxia Empire because they are creating a better future for themselves with their own hands.”
“They are freely utilizing their talents to give the Muling Clan the presence it deserves.”
Lin Qian’s words stirred Cuiyu’s heart, and her expression revealed longing.
“To utilize one’s talents, in the past, our three clans always felt extremely inferior about our talents, being a race without combat capabilities in the Western Continent meant being considered a Lower race.”
However, according to Lin Qian’s words, it didn’t matter what race one was, as long as one could utilize their talents, that was enough.
“Does this Empire really exist?”
Cuiyu still harbored some doubts in her heart because the Empire seemed too good to be true.
“So, what can our Green Spirit Clan’s talents do?” After pondering for a moment, Cuiyu raised her head and looked at Lin Qian, curiously asking.
She suddenly remembered something Ye Xin had told her, that if it were Lin Qian, he might be able to think of a place where they could fully utilize their clan’s abilities.
“The abilities of the Green Spirit Clan? In fact, in my view, they are excellent talents, just like those of the Muling Clan,” Lin Qian looked at Cuiyu in front of him and sighed with admiration.
Then, Lin Qian looked around the wooden cabin and said, “This cabin, it must have been built with your abilities, right?”
Cuiyu nodded gently, a hint of confusion on her face, “Why do I feel like, brother, you seem to know a lot about our clan’s talents?”
“Because before coming here, the Clan Leader of the Muling Clan, Mu Houde, had mentioned to me the talents of the Green Spirit Clan and the Earth Spirit Clan. Therefore, I already knew about your clan’s talents, and it is precisely because I know that I am amazed. Such excellent talents, yet considered a Lower race in this Western Continent, they are blind.”
In his view, the Wind Swift Clan of the Western Continent judging the Green Spirit Clan as a lower race was simply a waste.
“Cuiyu, if you were to fully accelerate the maturity of a Spirit Wood, regardless of age, just to achieve its maximum size, how large could it be?” Lin Qian turned and suddenly asked Cuiyu.
After carefully considering Lin Qian’s question, Cuiyu seriously replied, “Eight zhang tall, one zhang wide.”
Lin Qian mentioned right after, “I heard from Mu Houde that the plants matured by your Green Spirit Clan, despite lacking age, seem to still preserve their age-irrelevant characteristics, like Ironwood, for instance, which retains its hardness as iron, correct?”
“Yes, but what use is that? Ironwood is indeed tough, but the Spiritual Energy it releases is scarce, practically useless,” Cuiyu said, her expression growing melancholic, “Our Green Spirit Clan’s only role is to help the Muling Clan by speeding up the growth of Spiritual Medicine.”
“However, one of the best materials for building houses, Cloud Boats, and bridges is Ironwood,” Lin Qian spread his hands and smiled, “Ironwood is sturdy and durable, does not rot, and is not prone to insects.”
“If the Green Spirit Clan were a part of the Huaxia Empire, we would never run out of building materials,” he said. “The Empire wouldn’t need Spirit Wood that releases Spiritual Energy, only the robust ironwood would be enough for construction.”
“With the Green Spirit Clan, forests will emerge with a wave of your hands, and Huaxia Empire’s future buildings will all bear your mark. Having inexhaustible building materials, isn’t that an incredibly powerful talent? Sometimes, the might of a talent doesn’t necessarily need to be used in combat.”
At this point, Lin Qian looked seriously at Cuiyu, “Leave the fighting to those gifted for it. If the Green Spirit Clan were in the Huaxia Empire, you wouldn’t be a lower clan without the ability to fight; instead, you’d allow the citizens of Huaxia who defend the Empire to have homes to live in and easier ways to travel, becoming important compatriots of the nation.”
Cuiyu stared blankly at Lin Qian, as she had never contemplated this aspect before.
Indeed, ironwood was the best material for building houses, so why must cultivating Spirit Wood necessarily involve refining and releasing ample Spiritual Energy?
“Of course, the talent of your Green Spirit Clan alone wouldn’t be enough to earn my praise,” Lin Qian continued as his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, “it is when paired with the Muling Clan that you possess formidable creative power. If the Muling Clan and Green Spirit Clan worked together, you would be the creators in the realm of plants!”
The Muling Clan had an unmatched sensitivity towards plants, capable of analyzing the properties of even unfamiliar Spiritual Medicines within moments using their talents.
Therefore, their ability to research and create new Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Wood was almost incomparable, even to the Heavenly Art Department.
But to see results from such experiments, they had to wait for the test samples to grow, despite the accelerated growth provided by the agricultural valley; it required time.
However, the Green Spirit Clan possessed the ability to make plants grow instantly; if this ability were combined with the Muling Clan’s experimental efforts, the efficiency would reach a terrifyingly high level.
Imagine a test sample: from the start of cultivation, within a few breaths, results could be observed, rather than waiting a month for it to grow to an observable size. How much time would that save?
Observing the results of cultivation doesn’t need many years or powerful effects!
Moreover, what is most lacking in precious Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Wood? Seeds!
Do seeds need years? They only need to mature, and the Green Spirit Clan is not just a material producer but also a seed producer!
Additionally, Lin Qian was currently undertaking a territory enhancement project for the Huaxia Empire, which included replanting better Spirit Wood.
With the Green Spirit Clan, this transformation would be much more convenient. Planted Spirit Wood would instantly turn into dense forests rather than mere saplings.
Moreover, the high-quality Spirit Wood, even if just five to ten years old, would release Spiritual Energy far superior to that of lower-quality wood.
The potential roles for the Green Spirit Clan were plentiful: rapid construction of houses and wooden bridges, and even instant creation of gardens and mazes.
In a frenzy of cultivation, one must nurture not just strength but also appearance.
Lin Qian felt unbearably suffocated at the sight of the still barren greenery strips on either side of the city streets.
With the Green Spirit Clan, all these issues would be swiftly resolved!
Thinking about all the benefits the Green Spirit Clan would bring to the Empire after joining, Lin Qian could hardly contain his excitement.
