Chapter 768 (1/2)

It had been ten days since Ye Lang’s arrival at the ancient ruins. During these ten days, Zhao Yarou had been following him around very closely. When he went to the washroom, she’d wait outside. When they showered, she would want to come with.

Of course, Ye Lang completely ignored her when she hopped into his shower, minding his own business. He did not hop out in fear like normal people would.

Zhao Yarou asked him about it too. Why didn’t he run?

Run? I’m a married man. And you’re not even afraid of me taking advantage of you. What’s there for me to be afraid of?

This was Ye Lang’s answer. Zhao Yarou realised that she might’ve just created more trouble for herself. Every time she hopped into the shower, she never stripped naked but instead wore skin-tight clothing.

There were many trivial incidents like that, though they were not important to Ye Lang. Zhao Yarou could be quite petty too, completely unlike empress behaviour.

Ye Lang suddenly realised there was something wrong with her behaviour but couldn’t put his finger on it. He had been buried in research on the ancient ruins so he didn’t think much of it.

He indeed stepped into the position as an alchemist here. He continued his research on things he hadn’t studied in his previous visit. It was a good opportunity for him.

This was an alchemist’s paradise, containing everything an alchemist could dream of. Even Ye Lang wished to do his research in a paradise like that until there was nothing left to study.

He felt like the previous visit was quite short and this eventually ended up as Zhao Yarou’s territory so he couldn’t come. Now, he could do his research in peace.

When he was doing research, he also answered questions that anyone had for him.

The ten days he was here was enough to shorten their research period by one to two years, as it enabled everyone to deepen their studies by a few levels.

Soaring Sky had mastered several alchemy weapons now. They started to invest in manufacturing and equipped their military.

At the same time, because Ye Lang promised to give Zhao Yarou his flying boat’s technology, a new kind of military force appeared - the airforce.

Sha Lan was now preparing to build a powerful, giant aircraft. Although he did not give any more technology, there was enough information in the ancient ruins to build a powerful warcraft.

Of course, Ye Lang didn’t just help the military. He offered a lot of alchemy knowledge that would change ordinary lives for the better.

Ye Lang deliberately led a group of alchemists to start implementing their research on civilian life.

Zhao Yarou did not object to this. Although her objective was to rule the world, it was still important that her people lived well after she did.

Everyone did not know that their work here would soon change the entire mainland. Everyone would finally know the importance of alchemy and the popularity of this industry would skyrocket.

Weapons could only be used for war and they weren’t memorable. Commonplace items reminded everyone the impressiveness of alchemy every day, they became unforgettable.

The rise of alchemy after this was unbelievable! A new branch of warfare was created -- alchemy warfare, now becoming the third branch after warriors and magicians.

Unbeknownst to Ye Lang, he was the start of the era of alchemy across the mainland!

On this day, after a meal, Zhao Yarou brought Ye Lang to a place. This was a place he hadn’t been before. Behind them were Li Yue and Sha Lan.

During this time, Li Yue had always been with them both, while Sha Lan only occasionally.

At this moment, Zhao Yarou’s expression turned odd. She frequently gave Ye Lang long stares until even he felt uncomfortable. He touched his face, wondering if there was something on it.

If he were careful enough, he would realise that there was a sense of longing in her eyes. Why longing?

Even if he noticed, he wouldn’t care, nor would he think. Her facial expressions were always indicative of something, though he didn’t really care what it was.

In truth, Ye Lang did not notice at all. If he did, he wouldn’t be Ye Lang!

“What’s that place? Feels odd.” Ye Lang sensed that it was a weird place. The style was different from the rest of the places.

There were no buildings here, just a strange alchemy formation on a vast, empty space.

“It’s weird, that’s why I brought you here to check it out,” said Zhao Yarou flatly, staring ahead.

“Oh, I see! Who discovered it?” he asked.

“Is that important? There are many people here, I don’t know who did,” said Zhao Yarou.

“That’s true! Let me see…” Ye Lang walked around, observing his surroundings and the alchemy formation.
