At the heart of Mountain and Sea City, amidst a lush garden, stands the central structure of the city—the Winter Palace.

Since the completion of the Winter Palace, Master Puti had moved his residence here.

"So beautiful."

Every time she visited the Winter Palace, Ao Luan couldn't help but exclaim at its beauty.

"In the future, your Heavenly Palace will be even more beautiful."

Sun Wukong said.

The Six Palaces and one hall of Wanling Country, with the Winter Palace being the first to be completed. The rest of the palaces would have to wait for more Floating Cities to be established in the future.

The Six Palaces would be set upon several main Floating Cities, suspended above the entire Wanling Country.

"Great Saint, welcome."

Qing Yuanzi greeted them at the entrance to the Winter Palace: "Please follow me."

Sun Wukong and his companion followed him into the Winter Palace.

Halfway through their walk, they suddenly heard an argument coming from ahead.

"That's the voice of the Immortal."

Sun Wukong curiously asked, "The Immortal is also here?"

"Yes."

Qing Yuanzi nodded while leading the way: "The Immortal wanted to place seven more Dragon Cars in Mountain and Sea City, and Miss Daji has been arguing with him over the new design of the Dragon Cars for two hours."

"What kind of design do they want?"

Ao Luan became curious.

"They both want to put their own statues at the front."

Qing Yuanzi replied.

Sun Wukong was surprised.

It was one thing for Daji, but it was quite unexpected that the Immortal would want to place his own statue at the front. The Immortal Zhenyuan, while having some haughty tendencies, was not so narcissistic.

The trio turned a corner in the cloister, and a model of a Ginseng Fruit Doll Dragon Car appeared before them.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Sun Wukong said, "That ginseng fruit on the statue is not the Immortal."

He had to clear up this misunderstanding before Qing Yuanzi keeled over.

Qing Yuanzi clearly didn't catch on, showing a puzzled face.

The argument ahead also stopped.

"Junior brother, what did you just say?"

Immortal Zhenyuan approached.

"Great King."

Mei Hu also came over: "Please tell the Immortal, this Big Baby model is really ugly."

"Big Baby model?"

Ao Luan looked at the ginseng fruit statue and nearly burst out laughing.

"The Immortal wants to make seven Dragon Cars."

Daji said with a disdainful look: "And name them Big Baby, Second Baby, Third Baby..."

She really couldn't stand Immortal Zhenyuan's taste in design.

"Great King, look at my design!"

Mei Hu took out a drawing and handed it to Sun Wukong.

The drawing depicted a veiled woman with a graceful demeanor, standing with open arms at the front of a Dragon Car.

"Isn't it especially beautiful?"

Daji said, "The whole body of the car can be made to resemble a tail."

"I don't think that's much better."

Sun Wukong thought to himself.

He occasionally felt that Daji had matured mentally, but it seemed that her nature hadn't changed.

"Junior brother, you tell her that my design is better."

Immortal Zhenyuan said, "What she designed is a Fox Car, not a Dragon Car."

"You and your Doll Car too!"

Daji retorted.

Sun Wukong looked up at the Big Baby model. A ginseng fruit a hundred times smaller might be cute, but such a large white baby sitting at the front of the car was indeed strange.

"This ginseng fruit is a bit terrifying."

Qing Yuanzi honestly commented from the side, the large fat baby, taller than him, gave him a shudder.

"Junior brother, which do you think is better?"

Immortal Zhenyuan asked.

Sun Wukong didn't really have an opinion, so he said, "Why not combine them?"

"Combine them?"

Immortal Zhenyuan and Daji exchanged glances.

"Great King means..."

Daji frowned and asked, "You want me to hold the Ginseng Fruit Doll?"

"Wouldn't that make me look like Guanyin holding a child?"

Qing Yuanzi couldn't help but mutter.

Water Moon Fairy, who happened to be passing by, immediately grew cold when she heard this: "I object!"

That was simply an insult to her.

"It doesn't look good to hold it."

Daji spoke, then turned her eyes, "Why not turn the Ginseng Fruit Doll into an accessory and hang it on me instead?"

Sun Wukong and Immortal Zhenyuan raised an eyebrow at the same time.

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrow because he thought of something that could be developed.

Immortal Zhenyuan raised his eyebrow because he thought the idea was good.

"Your idea is good; we can discuss this properly..."

Immortal Zhenyuan pulled Daji aside to negotiate.

Seeing the problem was resolved, Sun Wukong, together with Ao Luan, found Master Puti.

The Grandmaster had been waiting for Ao Luan to come so they could discuss how to arrange work for the students.

In these ten years, the most important work in Wanling Country was to cultivate talents, but while cultivating talents, all professions were also prospering.

Their demand for talent was so great, they couldn't wait until the students had completed their studies.

The Immortals believed that during this special period, the students could study and participate in work at the same time.

The Grandmaster didn't oppose this, but he didn't want to force the students to work.

He wanted to use financial subsidies and support to attract students to join the workforce, so he had Ao Luan come over.

Ao Luan also thought it was feasible and agreed on the spot.

Regarding the specifics, Sun Wukong had a suggestion.

"Teachers could offer practical courses during holidays."

Sun Wukong said, "This makes management easier and allows students to freely choose to join."

The Grandmaster liked the idea and thought it could be tried.

He immediately began the experiment in Mountain and Sea City.

The result of the experiment was surprisingly good; various professions came to Mountain and Sea City to offer practical courses and recruit students to work.

The vast majority of students were eager to join, with a few exceptions.

One day, Sun Wukong saw Wang Lingguan at a construction site.

"Why can they be so active?"

Wang Lingguan, watching the bustling and busy students, found it incredible.

"They all come from poor families and have to share the burden for their households..."

Sun Wukong said, "Wanling Country focuses on striving, and they feel it too."

He looked at those students struggling.

"This spirit of striving will eventually become part of Wanling's culture. As long as it continues, what worries do we have about not prospering?"

"You're right."

Wang Lingguan was convinced.

He made up his mind: "Great Saint."

Wang Lingguan saluted Sun Wukong with his fists: "I have something to say."

Sun Wukong glanced at him.

"You don't have to say it; I already understand."

He smiled and said, "These past few years, you've faithfully guarded Wanling City, and for that, I am very grateful."

He looked at Wang Lingguan, "If you truly pledge your loyalty, I'll disregard what happened before."

"Thank you, Great Saint."

Wang Lingguan bowed again, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed.

"But Great Saint..."

He put aside his thoughts and cautioned, "You shouldn't have placed the Heavenly Book in the library."

Both the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan kept their Heavenly Books hidden, only Wanling City had opened its doors, allowing anyone to read their knowledge.

"The Heavenly Books in the library are not profound stuff."

Sun Wukong smiled.

He knew that the Heavenly Palace had sent people to steal their technology, and so had Lingshan, yet he almost never stopped them.

"They have learned our technology and will inevitably develop some interesting things."

Sun Wukong said.

Of course, he was not foolish.

"I let them learn from the Heavenly Book, so when the time is ripe, their developments can also serve our purpose."

"How will you take it over?"

Wang Lingguan wanted to ask, but ultimately refrained.

The world in Sun Wukong's heart, perhaps, was entirely different from what he was seeing now.

No one could see as far as he did.
