To be the best leader, you must also be the strongest leader!

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will definitely work hard to cultivate and improve my cultivation level as soon as possible," Xiao Qi assured Sun Yi with a solemn vow.

"It's alright, take your time. Our cultivation speed is already fast enough."

"Now that you have refined the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl, we have another trump card. Even if the demon race comes back to fight, we don't need to worry too much."

“Let’s go back first. Once you’ve fully replenished your depleted mana, I need a drop of your essence blood to help the Sea Serpent King enhance his bloodline power.”

"Yes, Master, I will cooperate fully."

"Sect Leader, are you all alright?" Elder Zhang Ye and the others asked in the group chat.

"We're fine. Xiao Qi has completely refined the Ice Profound Dragon Pearl. Everyone, please go about your business. We still have a lot of things to take care of."

"It's been completely refined so quickly?" Everyone was shocked, but no one asked any further questions.

Sun Yi took Xiao Qi back to the R&D department and prepared a cultivation space for Xiao Qi to recover her depleted mana, so that the recovery speed would be very fast.

Then Sun Yi checked the development progress of the Six Paths Clone Puppet.

The development of virtual space is the most difficult. To achieve the design requirements in Sun Yi's mind, it will require a long period of research and a lot of investment, which Sun Yi is very clear about.

During this period, the virtual space R&D project team has also been continuously recruiting R&D talent, and the project's development is progressing steadily.

The research on the artificial spiritual root project is also extremely difficult. Although there was already a certain research foundation, it is not easy to actually complete the research on this project.

This project is also related to the future of the human race, so Sun Yi attaches great importance to it and is recruiting a large number of R&D talents to participate in the research of this project. The sect is also investing a lot in this project.

Another clone puppet joined Xiao Bao at the Void Technology Research Institute, where they are currently researching two main projects.

Void Engine technology is one of the key projects for Qingyun Sect to reach the stars. Only by developing the Void Engine can Qingyun warships have the ability to traverse the void and lead the human race to the stars.

Meanwhile, the research institute is also studying interstellar teleportation arrays. Connections between stars cannot rely solely on warships; only by establishing interstellar teleportation arrays can the connections between stars be strengthened.

In addition, the Void Technology Research Institute is also researching ways to resist the erosion of the power of the void.

Currently, apart from specific flying boats, only domains can resist the erosion of void power. Even if Sun Yi possesses the powerful strength of a half-step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he will still be unable to resist the erosion of void power once he reaches the starry sky.

In addition to these research projects, the Void Technology Research Institute has also established many other R&D projects, which bring together some of the cutting-edge research projects of the Qingyun Sect in the future.

Sun Yi also placed high hopes on this project and recruited a large number of top research talents. The sect also increased its investment in the project.

The clone puppets involved in the research of cultivation techniques and classic texts are also working hard on their research. The research on the Five Elements Sword Formation and the Five Elements Palm has been successful. Sun Yi's clone puppets are also combining all the currently known classic texts to research other secret techniques, as well as to further develop the Five Elements Technique.

With the assistance of the Second Heavenly Secret and the participation of researchers from the Knowledge Research Institute, the research progress on cultivation techniques and secret arts is also quite fast.

The puppet clone involved in the basic materials research project has been assigned by Sun Yi's main body to study the demon soul extraction system, and the research on basic materials has been temporarily handed over to the others.

Of the six clone puppets involved in the research, the clone puppet involved in the spirit stone production line research is progressing the fastest.

The latest generation of spirit stone production lines has now been developed, and Qingyun Sect now possesses the production technology to produce top-grade spirit stones.

At the same time, the efficiency of ordinary high-grade spirit stone production lines has also increased several times. A single high-grade spirit stone production line can produce millions of high-grade spirit stones per year, which is already quite terrifying.

In addition, Qingyun Sect has developed a production line for high-grade spirit stones with a single attribute. Although the annual output is smaller, it can still produce high-grade spirit stones with a single attribute.

These technologies have only just been developed, and Qingyun Sect is busy upgrading its existing spirit stone production line while also setting up new production lines.

After checking the research progress of these clone puppets, Sun Yi himself directly joined the refining work in the Refining Hall.

Currently, the Qingyun Sect possesses a large quantity of top-tier materials, enabling them to mass-produce fifth-tier, ninth-grade Five Elements Armor and Qingyun Armor, as well as top-tier spirit-enhancing treasures and the Heaven-Opening Blade.

The forging of these top-tier spiritual artifacts requires the most skilled weapon refiners, so top weapon refiners like Sun Yi naturally need to participate in the forging process.

In just ten days, Xiao Qi's depleted mana had been fully restored. This recovery speed far exceeded that of the traditional cultivation world and was even more effective than many mana-restoring elixirs.

If there are enough materials, Sun Yi plans to equip each top cultivator with a top-tier cultivation space so that they can quickly recover their mana.

"Master, my magic power has been fully restored. When will the bloodline extraction begin?" Xiao Qi contacted Sun Yi as soon as she had recovered her magic power.

"Let me ask them how their preparations are going."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he dialed Elder Zhou Tong's number. Soon, Elder Zhou Tong's voice came from the other end: "Sect Leader, is there anything I can do for you?"

"How's the setup going over there?" Sun Yi asked.

Elder Zhou Tong replied, "We are working hard to set up the setup. According to our estimates, it will take at most five more days for us to complete the Evolution Blood Pool."

"Elder Fang is in charge of bloodline extraction. He has already prepared a lot of demon blood essence. We just need to wait for the blood pool to be completed before we can start bloodline evolution."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please let me know as soon as the blood pool is completed."

"Yes, Sect Leader." Zhou Tong hung up the phone after saying that. Sun Yi immediately told Xiao Qi about the situation and then continued to work on refining weapons.

On the fourth day, Zhou Tong told Sun Yi that the evolution blood pool had been successfully built.

Sun Yi immediately put down his work and took Xiao Qi to the Demon Locking Tower in Zhongzhou. When they arrived at the space where the evolution blood pool was located, they found that Fang Bupo and Zhou Tong were already there.

"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Everyone bowed to Sun Yi upon his arrival.

Sun Yi waved his hand: "Elders, you don't need to be so polite. You've all worked hard during this time."

Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "It's not hard work. This is what we should do. These evolution blood pools are arranged according to the previous design. Whether the effect can meet expectations still needs to be tested."

Sun Yi nodded, his vast divine sense enveloping the entire space as he began to observe the condition of these evolutionary blood pools.
