I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin immediately looked at Tie Ge.

In comparison, this puppet is much cruder than Xiao Wei's; you can tell it's a puppet at a glance.

Hmm? Wait a minute, something seems off.

He quickly got up, moved closer to Brother Tie, and observed him closely.

"This, this is... Demon-Devouring Iron?!"

Even though Master Ye was quite knowledgeable, he had never seen so much Demonic Devouring Iron before.

Using it to make puppets? So much Demonic Iron could have been used to forge countless Heavenly Rank weapons! What a waste!

Li Hao was slightly surprised to hear this: "You recognize this person?"

Ye Lin explained, "During the Four Realms War, our Medicine Tower also seized one from the Demon Clan."

"I've seen this demonic weapon quite a few times, so I'm quite familiar with Demon Devouring Iron."

Li Hao then understood, and that made sense.

"Let's talk about the mouth thing first, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Ye Lin finally regained his composure and studied the matter carefully.

"It's simple to just install a talking object; just take one from one of those spirit puppets and attach it to it."

"However, there is one downside: once it's installed, this big guy speaks just like these female spirit puppets."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao couldn't help but recall the image of Tie Ge speaking in a coquettish voice, and a chill ran down his spine.

"That won't do. We need to find someone more imposing and robust, someone who matches his physique."

Ye Lin stroked his chin and pondered, "If that's the case, then we'll have to order one from the Heavenly Puppet Sect."

"Of all the puppetry techniques in the world, the Heavenly Puppet Sect alone possesses eight-tenths of them."

"Most of the puppets sold are female puppets used as maids. Very few people buy the burly combat puppets. However, the Heavenly Puppet Sect uses a lot of them themselves, so they should be able to meet your needs, senior."

"It just so happens that the Heavenly Puppet Sect is located within the Profound Sea Continent. I'm currently tied up here, so how about having Bai Yuyan guide you, senior?"

Li Hao was speechless. How did this kid end up talking about that woman again?

No matter how pretty she is, is she as pretty as Xiao Wei? Xiao Wei can even transform.

"There's no need for someone to lead the way, and there's no rush."

"By the way, are there any famous tourist attractions on Xuanhai Ship? I might as well go and take a look, just as a trip to relax."

Ye Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes! There are so many scenic spots in Xuanhai Continent. I wonder if Senior has any particular type you like?"

Li Hao leaned against Xiao Wei, pondering as he said, "What do you prefer? It should be natural scenery, strange rocks and wonders, or places with stories and cultural customs."

Ye Lin nodded emphatically: "Yes! The strange stone forest of the Yunlu Dynasty, the meteorite from outer space of the Xingzhui Dynasty, the frozen sea of ​​the Yongshuang Kingdom, all sorts of scenic spots, just what you're looking for, senior!"

"There are simply too many attractions to list. Please wait a little longer, senior. I will immediately send someone to compile a list, ensuring that your trip is truly worthwhile!"

Li Hao seemed genuinely interested and said, "Alright, go ahead then, I'll rest for a few more days."

Ye Lin immediately stood up, bowed, and took his leave.

Back in the city, he went to his office, immediately activated the shielding array, and then took out an emergency jade talisman.

This jade talisman was connected to his trusted confidant, Mu Xinfan, whom he left in Xuanhai Continent.

Now that he is stationed in Xijuzhou, Mu Xinfan is temporarily serving as the acting head of the Xuanhai Ship.

As soon as the jade talisman connected, Mu Xinfan's voice came from the other end.

"Boss, what happened? Is it that serious enough to require the use of an emergency jade talisman?"

Ye Lin's expression was cold and stern. Without wasting any words, he said directly, "I'll tell you, and you'll remember."

"Isn't there a strange stone forest in the Yunlu Dynasty? Immediately send people there to expand the size of this strange stone forest tenfold. Remember, make it look convincing so that no one can tell it's man-made."

"Send someone to the Starfall Dynasty again and have them throw away that piece of junk meteorite iron they've been enshrining. Replace it with the largest piece from our inventory!"

"And the frozen sea of ​​the Everfrost Kingdom..."

Mu Xinfan on the other end was completely confused until he finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Boss, where did the Frozen Sea come from in the Eternal Frost Kingdom?"

Ye Lin retorted, "Are you stupid?! Just send a few people skilled in ice magic over there and freeze the entire nearshore area!"

"Remember, I have a very important guest here who will be going there to enjoy the scenery and relax. You must ensure that the coastal waters of the Everfrost Kingdom remain frozen until he arrives and leaves."

"Also, tell the royal family of Yongshuang Kingdom to inform their people that the sea has been frozen since ancient times. Anyone who lets this slip will be skinned alive!"

Mu Xinfan was stunned. Freezing the sea was easy, but maintaining it was not so simple.

If you just leave an eighth-level expert there to cast spells, that would be fine, but you can't let the guest find out, then the cost will increase several times over!

All this fuss, just to cheer up this guest? Who is this guest?

Could it be those people from the central tower?

Ye Lin continued, "These few attractions aren't enough. You need to find a way to build a few more."

"The key is to have beautiful natural scenery, a story, and a cultural atmosphere."

"I'll give you half a month. Once you've finished, make me a map and plan the specific route. The starting point is the special passage in Xijuzhou, and the destination is Tiankui Sect."

"No budget limit, speed is key! Authenticity is crucial! The story must be grand, moving, and leave a lasting impression!"

"Also, send a letter to the Heavenly Puppet Sect in my name, telling those idiots that an important guest will be visiting soon, and instructing them to do everything in their power to meet this guest's needs."

"Anyone who dares to anger this guest, I'll stew him alive!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Xinfan fully understood the importance of this mission: "Don't worry, boss!"

After ending the communication, Mu Xinfan's expression was more solemn than ever before.

After all, this task was too urgent and demanding, with only half a month to complete. Much of that time was spent traveling, creating scenery upon arrival, and crafting stories. The time was simply too tight.

However, since they've already said there's no limit to the budget, what else is there to say?

"Activate the emergency recall order, commanding all those above the eighth realm to return within one day!"

After ending the call, Ye Lin seemed to lose all his strength and slumped down at the table.

With no upper limit on the budget, it's clear this is a high-stakes gamble. If you win, everyone's happy; if you lose, while it won't be utterly ruinous, you'll likely find yourself in a precarious position.

The reason he was determined to take such a gamble was actually quite simple.

It wasn't because of Li Hao's extraordinary strength, but because of the twenty-three Heaven-Rank weapons he casually took out back in Dongli Continent when he was offering bounties to those families!
