Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

The most powerful one... Lin Yishan certainly knew what Feng Xu meant.

His eyes were instantly filled with joy and even excitement, and he smiled and said, "You want to realize the method His Majesty mentioned... of building an ignition device into the barrel of the gun, so that it can be ignited simply by the impact of a steel needle?"

Seeing the excited smile on Lin Yishan's face.

Feng Xu knew that he had found a kindred spirit. The other party was even happy for this "fellow spirit". He immediately gave Lin Yishan a knowing smile and asked, "Don't you have the same feeling?"

Lin Yishan patted his shoulder and said, "Then let's kowtow together!"

While talking.

Someone had already cleverly approached Han Lingyue, the "native elder of the Alchemy Department," and started a conversation:

"Is this Daoist Master Han from the Alchemy Department? He's truly a young and promising man!"

"I've heard of Daoist Master Han's fame for his alchemy skills before, and now he's become a trusted official by His Majesty's side!"

"Yes! Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. The Taoist priests of the Alchemy Department have also made remarkable contributions! They smelt large quantities of iron, smokeless gunpowder, and even that something I just mentioned... mercury. Any one of them is enough to be recorded in history!"

"All of you Taoist priests and immortal masters...are truly worthy of being the great Taoist masters of our time!"

"..."

Han Lingyue didn't expect that after seeing His Majesty off, he would be showered with compliments.

It took me a while to figure it out.

This group of people probably thought that those things were caused by the Taoists from the Alchemy Department, so they came to flatter them.

Han Lingyue immediately looked at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

His expression was filled with even greater panic: "Take all this credit for yourself? Who the hell am I?! No... none of these people in the Alchemy Department are worthy of taking all the credit for themselves!"

Thinking of this, Han Lingyue immediately waved his hand righteously.

He said, "Don't! Don't, don't, don't! Don't ever say such things! No matter what happened, I dare not take any credit for it!"

"Master Han, why be so modest?" Everyone was still enthusiastic and just thought he was being polite.

Han Lingyue's expression changed immediately, and there was even a hint of anger on his face.

He rebuked him sternly, "I won't argue with you. This isn't out of modesty, nor is it worldly wisdom. If you keep saying that, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Everyone originally wanted to curry favor with this imaginary "hero and celebrity".

However, no one expected that they would be met with such a setback. They immediately looked embarrassed and then they all quieted down, but they felt puzzled and bewildered in their hearts.

Han Lingyue took a deep breath.

He turned to look in the direction where Zhu Yunhuan had left, revealing a distant, extremely solemn, serious, and respectful gaze, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for Your Majesty opening the eyes of poor Taoists and others, allowing us to glimpse the true nature of this world, people like us with shallow knowledge and crude ideas would probably be unable to accomplish anything!"

"Without the Holy Lord, whether it's the Zhengyi Sect, the Quanzhen Sect, or any orthodox sect or even a wandering cultivator in the mountains, all would be left to live in ignorance and meager existence..."

"Since you've all entered here, I have no need to hide anything from you. I'm here to warn you—don't be so naive! Whether it's me, Han Lingyue, the good brother of the Zhengyi Sect's Heavenly Master, or Ma Rui, Liu Yuanran, Yuan Gong... everything they know and can do comes from Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty... He is a god!"

"Don't even mention the words you just mentioned from now on!"

Although Han Lingyue didn't know what exactly Zhu Yunhuan had taught this group of people, it was not difficult to judge from their reactions and words that it must be something extraordinary, so he didn't keep it in suspense or hide it.

He emphasized it again and again with righteous words.

Not only could he not take credit for such a feat, even if he could, he would never want to take the credit for it - Your Majesty's kindness to them... lifting their ignorance and allowing them to uncover the truth about the world... could never be repaid even by death.
