With the cooperation of the two clans' disciples and two hundred thousand elite soldiers, including twenty thousand Spirit Masters, such a force, once equipped with the most advanced spirit tools and Hidden Weapons, would become an invincible military power, serving as the main force for future attacks on the Star Luo Empire.
The four single-attribute clans, originally affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, were forced to separate from it after the Clear Sky Sect went into seclusion, subsequently dispersing across the two Empires.
The Strength Clan was fiercely loyal to Tang Hao and followed Lin Chen's advice, so Qian Renxue didn't even bother with recruitment and directly annihilated them.
The only weakness of the current forces hidden on Brilliant Island is the lack of aerial power.
The original plan was to subdue the Speed Clan; with advanced spirit tools and Hidden Weapons, the Speed Clan's combat power would soar.
However, it was unexpected that when Qian Renxue tried to recruit the Speed Clan, Bai He, the clan leader, still held onto illusions about the Clear Sky Sect. After all, Bai He was Tang Yuehua's maternal uncle, and because of this, the Speed Clan ultimately could not escape the fate of being annihilated by Qian Renxue.
As for the Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan, they had no good feelings towards the Clear Sky Sect, and even harbored considerable hatred. Back then, the Clear Sky Sect was heartless and unjust, abandoning them and leaving the two clans to fend for themselves.
This nearly led to the extinction of both clans. Through ten years of development, the two clans only slightly recovered their vitality, and even now, the combined number of disciples from both clans is still less than a thousand!
When Qian Renxue arrived with the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb to recruit the Breaking Clan, the Breaking Clan joined Qian Renxue's command without hesitation.
With the help of the Breaking Clan, Qian Renxue effortlessly subdued the Defense Clan.
Qian Renxue was also very generous with the talents of the two great clans, providing Immortal Grass Essence to help them evolve their Spirits, and they didn't have to worry about their daily necessities at all.
It can be said that compared to before, the treatment of the two clans' disciples was like heaven and earth.
The disciples of the two clans only needed to strive for advancement and continuously improve themselves. The Breaking Clan had extensive research on medicine, and with Qian Renxue's help, Yang Wudi didn't need to worry about anything else. He immersed himself in research all day, living each day in blissful content!
Qian Renxue's actions of exchanging sincerity for sincerity also led to the two great clans completely pledging their loyalty not long after affiliating with her!
In Lin Chen's view, the advantages and disadvantages of the four single-attribute clans are equally obvious: the Speed Clan excels at reconnaissance, the Strength Clan and Breaking Clan are the main attackers, and the Defense Clan is the main defender!
It can be said that the four single-attribute clans are born for war!
Yet, such war instruments were heartlessly abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect. It must be said that the Clear Sky Sect's people truly lack character.
The Clear Sky Sect directly sealed off their mountain and remained in seclusion, completely disregarding the survival of the four great clans. Even if you were helpless against the powerful Spirit Hall, why didn't you secretly help the four great clans afterward?
Tang Yuehua established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, which was incredibly profitable, becoming the Clear Sky Sect's money bag!
The Clear Sky Sect completely had the ability to help the four great clans, but they didn't. Even though Bai He was Tang Yuehua's maternal uncle, and even though the Speed Clan lived in poverty, neither Tang Yuehua nor the Clear Sky Sect offered them any assistance.
It's no wonder the Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan harbored resentment.
Even the Speed Clan, who were relatives, didn't benefit much, let alone those who had no kinship?
Similarly, the two great clans harbored considerable animosity towards Spirit Hall. Due to being implicated by the Clear Sky Sect back then, more than half of the disciples from the two great clans suffered casualties.
However, they probably never would have imagined that they had secretly allied with the daughter of their enemy!
Of course, they will never know the truth in this lifetime. Before Qian Renxue's cicada shell escape, she will hand over all the forces on Brilliant Island to Lin Chen!
As for subduing Lou Gao, it was even simpler. Qian Renxue presented various spirit tool blueprints and Hidden Weapons blueprints, and promised Lou Gao a prominent position for blacksmiths in the Empire in the future. Lou Gao joined with great delight.
Originally, Lin Chen also wanted to give Lou Gao the firearm blueprints from the system, knowing the terrifying potential of 'equality for all'.
But upon careful consideration, Lin Chen felt it was unnecessary.
The Douluo Continent has a beautiful environment and fresh air!
Lin Chen wanted to transform the Douluo plane into his own back garden and did not wish to disrupt the ecological peace of the Douluo Continent!
"All constructions on the island have been completed, and it is now operating smoothly!" Qian Renxue replied.
The speed of construction on the Douluo Continent is incredibly fast. Take Tianwen Academy, for example: after the reforms, the academy's area expanded by a full four times, yet all its construction was completed within a mere half a month.
Although Brilliant Island is dozens of times larger than Tianwen Academy, it is no problem at all for the architects on the Douluo Continent, especially since Brilliant Island also has architectural masters like the Defense Clan!
If there were such architectural masters on Blue Star, the real estate market would probably boom again!!!
In just over two months, three majestic cities have been built on the three islands. Now, the people on Brilliant Island are all performing their respective duties: training, refining medicine, and manufacturing military supplies.
Hundreds of blacksmiths led by Lou Gao, along with thousands of their family members, live independently on one island.
Whether Hidden Weapons or spirit tools, their manufacturing process is classified as the highest secret of the Heaven Dou Empire. To achieve this, Qian Renxue adopted Lin Chen's suggestion of using an assembly line production process.
All blacksmiths on the island participate in the production, but each person only needs to produce independent and identical components. Finally, Lou Gao and his trusted associates assemble them and install self-destruct devices.
If someone with malicious intent disassembles the finished spirit tools or Hidden Weapons, the self-destruct device within will automatically detonate.
The assembly line operation not only greatly improved secrecy but also accelerated the production speed of spirit tools and Hidden Weapons.
In less than three years, the two hundred thousand strong army on the island will be fully equipped!
Lin Chen highly acknowledged Qian Renxue's contributions during this period. It must be said that Qian Renxue is an excellent administrator. If Qian Renxue didn't have to return for her divine examination, Lin Chen believed that in time, Qian Renxue would certainly become a wise emperor for generations.
In her previous life, Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for over a decade. Apart from a few minor details, her intelligence and methods were almost impeccable.
If not for Tang San's appearance, her plan to usurp the throne would have succeeded long ago.
Unfortunately, fate did not cooperate in the end. The mighty Asura God King disregarded the rules and forcibly interfered in the mortal realm, causing all of Qian Renxue's efforts to go to waste.
Ever since Qian Renxue returned to the Douluo Continent, Lin Chen could see that she was very serious about unifying the Douluo Continent. This was probably her greatest obsession from her previous life.
