Will he still value himself so much by then?
He might just kick me out of this house, right?
Perhaps it was to simply expel himself from Silla City.
The more Jia Li thought about it, the more confused she became, and her expression turned very gloomy.
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door.
Jia Li quickly got up, went over and opened the door, and then she saw Ye Feng and Luo Qing standing outside the door.
"Your Highness Prince Nanling, Miss Luo Qing, hello..." Jia Li stammered, trying to force a smile, but she couldn't manage it.
It's over.
I must have left a very bad impression on His Highness Prince Nanling.
His self-evaluation will definitely keep dropping.
Jia Li thought to herself, a deep sense of frustration rising in her heart.
"Won't you invite us into your house?" Night Wind asked.
Jia Li then snapped out of her daze and quickly stopped her wild thoughts, saying rather hastily, "Your Highness, Prince of Nanling, please come in!"
Ye Feng led Luo Qing into the house and sat her down on a chair.
"How do you feel about this place? Are you satisfied?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
Jia Li nodded quickly: "Satisfied, it's great here, everything is great, I can't find any fault with it at all, to be honest, I really like it here..."
Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I've already reviewed your file. It says your dantian was injured. What happened?"
They've arrived!
Jia Li knew Ye Feng would ask this question, but even though she was mentally prepared, she was still flustered and at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, relax, just treat it as casual conversation over tea," Ye Feng said.
Jia Li took several deep breaths before finally mustering the courage to say, "Your Highness, I did not mean to deceive you. To be honest, I never expected to be assigned to the support team, after all, my situation is indeed quite bad."
"A few years ago, I was attacked by a demonic beast while I was out, which injured my dantian. Since then, my strength has been greatly reduced. Although I am a martial artist in the Separation and Union Realm, the combat power I can exert is probably not even comparable to that of a martial artist in the Qi Movement Realm."
"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but I'm not the only one like this. Most of the martial artists in the support team are like this. They all have one reason or another that their strength can't keep up with their cultivation level. I'm actually considered one of the better ones among them."
Ye Feng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I saw in the information that you are good at research?"
“Yes…that’s true, but they’re all things that can’t be presented in public.” Jia Li gave a bitter smile.
"What do you usually study?" Ye Feng asked again.
“They’re just some trivial trinkets, sir,” Jia Li said.
“Show it to me, I’m very interested,” Night Wind said.
Jia Li then took out several magical artifacts from her storage ring.
Clearly, these magical artifacts are not magical artifacts in the conventional sense, nor are they traditional magical artifacts.
They're more like flashes of inspiration!
So when Jia Li took out these things, Luo Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and she said in surprise, "You've actually started studying spiritual energy too?"
"A flash of inspiration?" Jia Li looked puzzled.
"It's a special kind of magical artifact that combines mechanics and spiritual energy; we call it a spiritual machine. The biggest feature of a spiritual machine is that it can be used by ordinary people, so even non-martial artists can control it and unleash its effects!" Luo Qing explained earnestly.
Jia Li looked puzzled but impressed; it seemed she hadn't fully understood what Luo Qing had said.
But Jia Li quickly said, "Because my dantian was injured, my true qi has become very low. If I fight someone, not only will I be unable to exert the strength of a martial artist in the Separation and Union Realm, but my true qi will also be completely exhausted in no time."
"Therefore, in order to make up for this deficiency, the magical artifacts I created can indeed be used without true qi. In other words, ordinary people can indeed use them."
"For example, this thing..."
Jia Li picked up a glove and presented it to Ye Feng and Luo Qing.
"I named this glove the Crimson Flame Glove. After three low-grade spirit stones are inlaid on it, the glove can draw spirit weapons from the spirit stones and fire Crimson Flame Arrows. It can be used three times."
"These earrings are magical artifacts used to sense opponents, and I named them Spirit Wind Earrings. The Spirit Wind Earrings can sense changes in airflow and thus vibrate, using the vibrations to alert the wearer to the direction of the opponent."
Jia Li explained each of the gadgets she had researched to Ye Feng and Luo Qing.
But by the end, a bitter expression appeared on Jia Li's face.
"My original intention was to use these things to strengthen my own strength and make myself a martial artist in the Separation and Union Realm. But in reality, these things did not achieve the effect I wanted at all, and my master looked down on them."
"Instead of spending a lot of energy and time studying this useless junk, it would be better to study alchemy or curry favor with an alchemist and ask him to heal your injuries."
"These are the words my master once told me, alas..."
Jia Li sighed and lowered her head, her expression extremely bitter.
Luo Qing excitedly said, "Don't listen to your master! Your master is an idiot! A complete fool!"
"ah?"
Jia Li looked up in confusion, staring at Luo Qing with bewilderment.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Qing'er is right. Your master is a complete fool. He didn't see the value of these little things you researched at all."
Jia Li hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, Prince of Nanling, these..."
Night Wind interrupted Jia Li, saying, "Just call me City Lord."
Jia Li then changed her tune, saying, "Lord City Lord, to be honest, the things I've researched aren't of much help to me. Each of them requires spirit stones to use, and even with the support of spirit stones, their power is still no match for that of a true martial artist."
"Even if I used all of these things, I still wouldn't be able to defeat a martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm, let alone a martial artist at the True Essence Realm, so..."
Night Breeze smiled and asked, "What if a hundred or a thousand ordinary people who have undergone training wore these things you've researched?"
Jia Li was stunned.
This was something she had never considered!
Night Wind asked again, "None of the things you've researched have any usage restrictions. As long as there are enough spirit stones, even ordinary people can use them, right?"
“Yes…that’s how it is…” Jia Li nodded slightly.
"In that case, I'll mass-produce all the things you've researched, and then equip them on a hundred professionally trained people. How strong do you think they'll be?" Ye Feng continued.
