After lying on the bed for two days and consuming a ton of precious tonics, Ren Baqian could finally get out of the bed .

Until now, he still did not know what happened . However, he did know what was wrong with his body .

Cracks had appeared on his backbones and shoulder blades, and he almost suffered a cerebral concussion . It was as if he got hit by a truck .

But why would there be a truck in Yangxin Palace Hall .

The only person who could do this to him was the empress . However, every time he asked the empress about this, her ears would turn red, and she would try to divert the topic .

This made him even more curious about what happened that day .

He reckoned that he might have been drunk and did something that infuriated her, causing her to slap him . However, if that was the case, why would her ears turn red? She would only behave this way if she was shy .

What exactly happened?

In the end, he decided not to ask the empress anymore since she was not going to tell him . He reckoned that Qing Yuan and Hong Luan should know what happened, but they wouldn't tell him either .

He racked his brains but still couldn't come up with anything . He couldn't believe a murder case almost happened just because he danced with the empress .

Now that Ren Baqian could move, he asked someone to carry him to the empty plot of land beside the arena outside of the palace . Then, he discussed his plan for the educational inst.i.tution with the people from the Ministry of Works .

He wanted to build a perimeter wall and a few houses . Three of the houses would be used as cla.s.srooms, one would be used as a library to keep book collections, and one would be used as a laboratory .

However, he just wanted the three cla.s.srooms to be built first . The rest could be built at a later date .

After another two days, Ren Baqian could finally walk on his own . Even though his body still hurt, there was nothing seriously wrong with it .

The medicines in this world were indeed unique, be it the black mud cream or the medicine he took for his injury this time around .

An injury like this would take at least a month on Earth to heal . After all, it was a severe injury .

Upon their return to Earth this time around, they went to Spain and stayed there for three days .

Actually, there was a place in Spain that Ren Baqian had always wanted to go, the Nova Mar Bella Beach in Barcelona . He had only witnessed its beauty and prominence online . He had always wanted to visit this place but did not have the chance to do so . Firstly, he did not have the time . Secondly, the empress was by his side .

Previously, the empress almost flipped a table when she saw girls in bikinis . Ren Baqian reckoned that he might be in deep trouble if they visited Nova Mar Bella Beach .

[Nova Mar Bella Beach - a section of this beach is a nude beach]

Ren Baqian felt that the phrase "Serves you right for doing something so stupid" was apt for this scenario .

[This is a commonly used Chinese Internet slang . ]

On the return from Earth, Ren Baqian brought back a set of gla.s.s laboratory equipment and some glucose . Following which, he brought some imperial guards with him and headed for the gla.s.s factory immediately .

As he reached the gla.s.s factory, a burly man quickly stepped forward and greeted him, "Sir Ren . "

This burly man was called Jiao Zuo . He had been working for the imperial family for a very long time . He was a.s.signed to Ren Baqian when the latter requested some manpower from the empress .

This man had accompanied trade caravans to the Yun Nation and Great Xia several times before . He was also literate . Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to find an aboriginal that was this meticulous and prudent . He was an exceptional a.s.sistant for Ren Baqian .

Of course, despite his good qualities, he still created a lot of trouble for Ren Baqian in the beginning .

However, he had become much better recently .

"How is the progress? Are you able to get rid of the color in the gla.s.s?" Ren Baqian asked after getting off fork-horned cow .

"Sir, I was about to report this matter to you . The color in the gla.s.s has become much fainter than before . I believe we will be able to produce colorless gla.s.s soon . " Jiao Zuo had a joyful look on his face .

"Let me take a look . " Ren Baqian nodded his head . After a while, he was led to a room where he saw a piece of gla.s.s . On the gla.s.s, there were still some parts that were in green in color . However, the color of green had indeed become much fainter than before .

"Good job!" Ren Baqian nodded his head in approval .

"It's my duty," Jiao Zuo replied with a grin .

"Have you made the mold that I asked you to previously?" Ren Baqian asked .

"I have already made it and I even tried to make a few gla.s.ses . " Jiao Zuo opened up a box and revealed a few drinking gla.s.ses . They were cla.s.sic drinking gla.s.ses and goblets, and they were also slightly green in color .

"Sir, we will be able to earn a lot of money if we sell these gla.s.ses in the Yun Nation and Great Xia," Jiao Zuo chuckled and said .

Ren Baqian picked up two gla.s.ses and took a closer look at them . Then, he shook his head and replied, "They are still slightly crude . The surface and the base of the gla.s.s are uneven . Redo the mold and choose the best craftsmen for the job . "

"Got it, Sir . " There was a look of pity in Jiao Zuo's eyes . He felt that the gla.s.ses in the box were already not bad .

However, Deputy Prefect still failed them .

Following which, Ren Baqian took out a box containing a bunch of gla.s.sware . Then, he purposefully found a small room and did the silver-mirror test (Tollens' test) on them .

When Jiao Zuo saw the box of gla.s.sware that Ren Baqian had, he finally understood why Ren Baqian would fail the gla.s.ses he made .

The gla.s.sware that Ren Baqian took out were pure and transparent, completely devoid of any blemishes . The gla.s.sware that they had made paled in comparison to Ren Baqian's .

Ren Baqian went to the gla.s.s factory for the next few days in a row . Every day, he would do the silver-mirror test on that gla.s.sware in the small room . He would mumble strange words like "sodium hydroxide", "silver nitrate", and "ammonia solution" .

Occasionally, he would kick the wall in frustration .

"Ahh!" The imperial guards standing outside the room were already used to hearing Ren Baqian's frustrated roars .

No matter what Ren Baqian did in the room, Jiao Zuo tried not to let anyone into the room lest they disturb him .

After several days and several failures, Ren Baqian finally completed the silver-mirror test which most people could complete in two hours .

Ren Baqian looked at the palm-sized mirror with joy written all over his face .

His chemistry teacher could rest in peace now .

With the first success, the subsequent attempts would be easier .

Ren Baqian yelled for a few craftsmen and taught them how to make the silver mirror .

That afternoon, frustrated roars resounded from the room once again .

"Ahhhh!"

"Why are you so stupid like pigs"

"Sir, what are pigs?" someone asked .

"I'm going back!" Ren Baqian walked out of the room in anger with veins popping out of his head .

. . .

East Sea . On a dirt road outside of a shabby fishery village .

"Lu Pinghai should be arriving here soon, right?" a pretty-faced youth sitting on a horse asked . He was wearing a brocade robe .

"That's what I heard, Young Master," a middle-aged man carrying a spear on his back beside the youth answered .

Traces of pity could be found in his eyes as he looked at the youth .

He was the last descendant of the Yu family . Unfortunately, he was handicapped with regards to cultivation .

Everything would change if he could get Lu Pinghai to give him the Spirit Yuan Pill . However, he did not know whether or not the thing he brought could make Lu Pinghai yield to his request .

"I will definitely succeed . Lu Pinghai will be moved by this thing, and I will get the Spirit Yuan Pill . Then, I will take back everything that has been s.n.a.t.c.hed from me," the youth smiled and said . There was not a single tinge of doubt in his eyes . He had no doubt that he would succeed .

Everything that happened is a chance given to me by G.o.d to temper myself .

I will definitely succeed!

I will seek revenge upon those who have looked down on me .

"Uncle Ping, sorry to have troubled you these few years . If it weren't for the fact that you wanted to repay the Yu family's kindness, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived until today," the youth sighed and said .

"It's my duty," the man who was called Uncle Ping replied .

"There must be a lot of people mocking you for staying with a b.u.m like me . After all, you're Earth Embryo expert," the youth chuckled and continued . If it weren't for Uncle Ping, he wouldn't have kept the inheritance of the Yu family .

Uncle Ping merely smiled and did not say anything else .

When the two arrived at the entrance of the village, the youth halted his horse and took a closer look at the village . "This is such a shabby village . "

Then, he turned his head around and looked at the forest beside the village . That was where Lu Pinghai's best friend's tomb was .

Suddenly, Uncle Ping's facial expression changed . "Young Master, be careful . "

Before he finished his sentence, he already appeared in front of the youth with lightning speed . He whipped out the spear from his back and deflected two sharp arrows that were flying in the direction of the youth .

"Eh!" A gasp of surprise sounded out from the forest .

Following which, two burly men that looked exactly like each other walked out of the forest . "You're the third batch today . "

"Aboriginals!" Uncle Ping's facial expression changed drastically . Their purpose for coming here should be the same as theirs . It was quite obvious what they had done to the previous two batches of people .

"You or me?" The two burly aboriginals looked at each other .

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

Uncle Ping's face reddened with anger . After all, he was an Earth Embryo expert . This was first time that he was humiliated like this .

"Come, if you can survive ten moves from me, I will let you off . " One of the aboriginals stepped forward with a big smile on his face, looking as though he had won a prize . His gaze s.h.i.+fted to the broadback spear in Uncle Ping's hands .

It resembled the standard sabers that were commonly used in Dayao, but it was longer and thicker .

"Young Master, step back!" Uncle Ping said in a deep voice . He trusted the aboriginal's words . Aboriginals seldom went back on their word after making a promise .

All he needed to do now was to survive ten moves from the aboriginal . He trusted his own capabilities and he felt that the aboriginal had underestimated him .

He had a killer move that had never failed before . Everyone that had seen it was already dead . It was a pity that he had two opponents now . He could only use his killer move once .

. . .

Two minutes later, the burly aboriginal spat on the corpse of Uncle Ping .

Following which, he killed the grieved youth with a single punch .

Then, he dragged the two corpses into the forest .

"Eh? What is this? It looks like something good . " A voice resounded through the air in the forest .

"Keep it and show it to General when we get back . "
