It was as if a thunderbolt had struck beside his ear. Xi Jiang was utterly stunned, his voice trembling, âUnseen Needles of Grace? Miss Si, what did you say?!â
âThe final assessment with the Unseen Needles of Grace to reappear,â Si Fuqing repeated, then asked, âWill that be enough to secure the first place?â
Xi Jiang confirmed he hadnât misheard, his hands beginning to shake as he stammered, âTh-this isnât just about getting first place, this, thisâ¦â
This was something that would shock the entire Mo family and even the world!
The Unseen Needles of Grace held an extremely high status, rightfully ranking as the best in the world.
Historical records provided detailed accounts of the Unseen Needles of Grace.
They stated that Mo Yanfeng created three of these needles, one of which helped Emperor Yin retreat unscathed from a siege of ten thousand, killing nearly ninety percent of the attackers.
Such ancient technology was comparable to some of the top modern thermal weapons.
âThatâs right, Iâve already discussed this with your patriarch,â Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, âYou have five days, only the blueprints, and no one will help you. If you can create a prototype of the Unseen Needles of Grace, the first place in the assessment is yours.â
Xi Jiangâs mouth fell open, âBut, but, but I donât have the blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace! How am I supposed to create a prototype?â
Three hundred years ago, a great fire burned almost all the blueprints.
The technology of that time wasnât as advanced as it is now, making many blueprints irrecoverable, leading to the disappearance of these hidden weapons.
This was the calamity of the Mo family.
Mo Yanwen managed to recreate the second and third-ranked hidden weapons, but the top-ranked Unseen Needles of Grace remained elusive due to the lack of blueprints.
âThere are blueprints,â Si Fuqing said calmly, âGo to the Mo familyâs Mechanism City and find your family head; he should have arrived by now.â
Without wasting a second, Xi Jiang dashed out.
Mother Tan emerged from the kitchen, âHey, Xi Jiang, you havenât eaten yet, where are you running off to? At least finish your meal first.â
Father Tan despaired almost to the point of tears, âHeâs beyond saving.â
What is the Unseen Needles of Grace?
It was one of Mo Yanfeng, the ancestor of the Mo familyâs, most prized creations, second only to the Mo familyâs Mechanism City.
The blueprints were burned, and even Mo Yanwen couldnât recreate them.
âEnough, stop talking,â Mother Tan sighed, âHeâs doing well, and heâs been working hard lately. Iâm sure heâll pass the assessment and stay with the Mo family.â
Father Tan laughed bitterly, âWorking hard? He hangs around that female celebrity all day, even offended Miss Chuyi last time. Is that what you call working hard?â
A celebrity , no matter how skilled with hidden weapons like sleeve arrows and silver leaf darts, couldnât compare to the Mo familyâs direct descendants.
Father Tan was utterly disappointed, unwilling to say another word.
**
Meanwhile, Xi Jiang ran breathlessly to the Mo familyâs Mechanism City.
Without the command of Mo Yanwen and the elders, even Mo family members couldnât enter.
Xi Jiang quickly found Mo Yanwen.
Mo Yanwen saw him and nodded slightly, âYouâre here.â
Xi Jiangâs heart was in his throat, âFamily Head, Miss Si said, saidâ¦â
âIâm aware of the matter,â Mo Yanwen frowned slightly, âBut how could there still be a backup of the blueprints in the Mechanism City?â
He didnât doubt Si Fuqingâs words.
However, the Mo familyâs Mechanism City was impregnable, having stood the test of over a thousand years without needing any repairs or improvements.
At five in the morning, Si Fuqing had called him, saying she had inadvertently discovered a small protruding stone in the Mechanism City with the characters âGraceâ on it.
She thought there might be blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace inside and asked him to check.
Mo Yanwen had seized the moment, following the location she provided. After a long search, he finally found the stone she mentioned.
He placed his hand on it and slowly pulled the stone out.
The movable stone didnât compromise the sturdiness of the Mechanism city.
Mo Yanfeng was indeed an unparalleled genius.
Mo Yanwen retrieved a wooden box from inside, opening it to reveal perfectly preserved papers, their edges not even yellowed.
He unfolded the first sheet and his hand trembled.
He quickly examined the remaining sheets.
Xi Jiang saw them too, his entire body shaking with disbelief, âFamily head, these are the drawings from the old ancestor!â
Not only were there blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace, but also for the Constellation Tube, the Mo Family Divine Crossbow, and other lost hidden weapons.
All the Mo familyâs lost blueprints were indeed in the location Si Fuqing mentioned!
It was simply incredible!
Even someone as composed as Mo Yanwen couldnât remain calm. He murmured, âThereâs hopeâ¦â
With the advent of the new technological era, the Mo family had been continuously researching high-tech solutions.
