Both Wang Wei and Yan Liling looked at the driver that seemed to want to release himself by talking to someone and they sighed.
This realized how much of an impact their big brother has on this world and the amount of changes he brought to the people. This driver is just among the billions of people whose lives that their big brother has changed over the past two years.
After a brief pause of reminiscing, the driver did not stopped talking and continued on:
"Don't get me started on the Sage Book that the school provided to my son. Not only was the school free to attend, they even provided the student with an immortal artifact like this."
"I heard my son say that his teacher was talking to him directly through the book. So, how does this thing work anyway?"
"It's not actually talking to him, but placing him in an illusion."
"Illusion?"
"Yes," answered Yan Liling. "The Sage Book has an illusion array carved on it that places the students into a powerful illusion where they can review their teacher's lecture and knowledge."
"With this illusion, the students can have knowledge directly placed inside their minds, thus skipping the process of memorizing things. They can also have access to every teachers' lecture anywhere and anytime."
"Big brother… I mean his majesty created this method to be able to quickly train officials for the dynasty."
Of course Yan Liling only briefly summarized the purpose of this book and did not mention many of the revolutionary ideas in them.
For example, while in the illusion, the people will enter a state of deep focus in which their spirits will be enhanced to the extreme, thus dramatically increasing the learning abilities of each student.
In order not to be affected, each school is required to properly feed each student as thus intense focus can have a negative effect on the body.
In order to create this origin artifact, her big brother had to study illusion with Su Ai for months. As a person knowledgeable in ruins, Yan Liling had to marvel at such innovative use of runes and refining.
The driver listened attentively and nodded.
"Although I don't understand what you are saying," said the driver. "I'm still happy that his majesty created such an immortal artifact."
Suddenly, Yan Liling frowned and asked. "Shouldn't you know some of these things? According to the law, each driver of the Flying Horse Carriage needs to be illiterate and pass a test to be able to publicly steer one."
The driver smiled with embarrassment and hurriedly answered, "I did not go to school to learn, but my son taught me how to read and I passed the test. This is my permit."
After saying this, the driver took out a paper from his steering department and showed it to Yan Liling through the glass window that separated them.
After checking the permit, Yan Liling nodded and said, "It seemed to be a legal one. You must be very intelligent to be able to learn reading on your own."
The driver blushed a little after hearing the compliment and responded, "At that time, I was still working hard with a normal chariot to save enough money to buy the Horse Flying One. I could tell at one glance that this new carriage was going to be the standard from now on, so I wanted to be one of the first people to get one."
"However, I would have wasted a lot of time if I had to go to school everyday to learn, so I just asked my son to teach me in person. Thanks to Heaven, no, thanks to his majesty's blessing, I was able to pass the test and get my license."
Both Li Jun and Yan Liling nodded and continued chatting throughout the rest of the journey. A few minutes later, the two of them arrived at their destination, paid the driver and secretly gave him a very handsome red envelope.
After the two of them left, the driver muttered to himself, "My wife would never believe that such a fairy-like sister actually commented on how smart I am. That old woman never appreciated my wisdom."
"Hey, I should have listened to my son and bought one of those magical flutes that put other people's voices on them. What was it called again… Right, Voice Storing Flute. However, these things are too expensive."
After saying that, the driver got in his carriage and drove out, searching for his next passenger.
Meanwhile, Li Jun and Yan Liling arrived at their destination: the Dragon Launch Station.
Then, they went to buy their boarding permits. After showing their identification card, the woman responsible for providing the permit was immediately flustered for a moment and said,
"Your excellencies, as high ranking officials, boarding permits are actually free. You do not need to pay."
However, both Li Jun and Yan Liling shook their heads and still paid for their permits. Then, they waited for a few minutes.
Soon, they heard a melodious voice echoing throughout the station:
"The Crawling Dragon Construct has arrived. All passengers prepared to board and stay away from the doors."
After the announcement, Li Jun and Yan Liling saw a wooden construct in the shape of a dragon traveling rapidly on a pre-established track before stopping. Then, many scales on the dragon construct opened up horizontally.
Following which, countless people exited the construct and left in different directions. Afterwards, both Li Jun and Yan Liling entered the construct.
They searched for a while before finding a private carriage with a few people on them.
"I cannot believe that Puppets could be used in such a way!" marveled Li Jun and with stars twinkling in his eyes.
"That's true," responded Yan Liling after sitting down. "Big brother Wang Wei has been complaining that the transportation methods of this world were so slow and tiring. So, he found a way to improve it."
"Yeah. What is more impressive was that he did not just use such marvelous origin artifacts only for cultivators, but found ways to commercialize it by making sure it can be controlled by mortals."
"However, many of the cultivators in the court object to making cultivating objects accessible to mortals. All of them have such low vision," replied Yan Liling with a sneer on her face."
Li Jun looked at his companion with a wry smile on his face. "There is no need to criticize them. Even in our world, the cultivators would react the same way they did. In fact, if we were not influenced by big brother, can you guarantee that we would not respond the same way?"
Yan Liling did not answer his question. After a few seconds, she said, "What a weird word 'commercialize'."
"Big brother always has a bunch of weird names. Didn't he want to call the Crawling Dragon Construct a 'train'. I heard my mother say that all geniuses have weird habits."
"So, my little genius, what is your weird habit?" asked Yan Liling with charming eyes that could mesmerize most men.
Li Jun then whispered in her ears: "How about I show you my weirdness tonight, when we are alone?"
Yan Liling immediately blushed and pushed Li Jun away and said, "Not here in public."
Li Jun smirked a little and moved his head away, looking at the window in order not to further embarrass his wife.
After a few minutes, Yan Liling had regained her composure and asked, "What are you thinking so deeply about?"
"I'm thinking whether the Human Emperor was as good as big brother Wang Wei?"
After hearing this, Yan Liling also had a pensive look on her face.
"Who is the Human Emperor you are talking about?" said a sudden melodious voice while the two of them were thinking.
They both turned their voice in the direction of the voice. There, they saw a beautiful young girl looking at them.
The beautiful girl was dressed with a refined hanfu, she had a very calm temperament and eyes full of vicissitudes that contradicted her youthful face.
Yan Liling took a good look at her before saying, "Are you the Empress' master, Yu Siyu?"
The beautiful girl then sat next to the two of them after an invitation.
"Looking at your face, you must have broken through the Divine Altar Realm," said Yan Liling with a smile.
Yu Siyu bowed and said, "Thank You, Miss Yan Liling for the pills you provided."
"No problem. As long as you work hard for the big brother, you will always be rewarded. So, what are you doing here?"
After hearing Yan Liling's question, Yu Siyu sighed and answered, "After my breakthrough about a month ago, I exited my seclusion to find the capital, no, the entire kingdom has changed dramatically."
"So, I decided to travel around to get acquainted with the changes that have occurred. Today, I decided to spend the whole day traveling to different parts of the dynasty through the Crawling Dragon Construct, when I overheard your conversations just now."
"So, that's how it is."
"I'm still very curious about your world, especially this Human Emperor you just mentioned. If you don't mind, could you please tell me about him."
Both Li Jun and Yan Liling looked at each other for a brief moment, Noticing this, Yu Siyu quickly said, "If this is some sort of secret, you do not have to say anything."
"No, it's not like that," answered Li Jun. "We were just a little surprised by the sudden question."
"As for the Human Emperor, he was a legendary character from our world."
