Chapter 78: There is no energy

"Seeing" the completed heart-shaped grass in the

energy board’s dimensional space, Yu Jin Li was quite satisfied. He had finally

drawn it successfully.

Since the energy board has no energy, the plant depicted in

it naturally have no "life". Yu Jin Li erased the plant and re-draw

it. After practicing over and over again, he finally became more and more proficient,

mastering the depiction of this plant.

Now, Yu Jin Li could skillfully draw the heart-shaped grass

even with his eyes closed, and he was a little eager to try it on a real blank

energy card.

Yu Jin Li looked at the stack of blank energy cards nearby, ready

to move. His little hand gently stretched out before quickly retracted.

"You can't draw with real energy cards yet." Jiang

Mo Sheng's reminder kept echoing in his mind, but Yu Jin Li really wanted to

give it a try.

In the end, the desire to charge ahead defeated the Golden

Thigh’s instructions. Yu Jin Li felt that he was already very proficient in

drawing on a practice board, so there is certainly no problem in drawing with real

cards.

Yu Jin Li picked up a blank energy card, and began to

carefully probe it with his spiritual power. He found that the dimensional

space in the card was really different than in the practice board, overflowing

with colorful energy.

Yu Jin Li was a little overexcited. He tried to calm himself

down, before fully concentrating. First, he sketched the outline of the

heart-shaped grass in his mind. Next, he carefully stretched out his spiritual power

into the energy card, and began drawing.

In the beginning, everything went very smoothly. Using divine

consciousness as a brush, the heart-shaped grass that was already memorized was

drawn stroke by stroke. After the entire image of the heart-shaped grass is

completed, there is only one final step, that is, to pour energy into the card.

This energy is integrated into the pattern of the

heart-shaped grass, and when an ability user summons the heart-shaped grass, it

can calm their nerves and minds.

Unfortunately, due to Yu Jin Li lack of proper education on

the subject, he actually didn't know that there was this last step. After

drawing the heart-shaped grass, he was very happy.

Withdrawing his divine consciousness, a heart-shaped grass

appeared on the surface of the original blank energy card. However, its color

was very dim, completely different from the color of the picture on the D-class

energy card that Yu Jin Li had seen before.

Yu Jin Li was puzzled, so he took the first-ever energy card

he had made and came to Jiang Mo Sheng’s bedroom. In his opinion, Golden Thigh is

very powerful, almost omniscient, and therefore he must know what’s going on.

“Knock, knock, knock.” Yu Jin Li knocked on the door three

times and heard a voice said "please come in" from the inside.

"Ah Sheng, take look at why the energy card I made is

so dark." Yu Jin Li said directly as soon as he came in.

"Did you make an energy card?" Jiang Mo Sheng

frowned.

Yu Jin Li then remembered that the other party had

specifically told him not to make an energy card before, and he suddenly felt a

little guilty.

"...I did it after practicing on the energy board many

times without making any mistakes." Yu Jin Li explained himself in a low

voice.

When Jiang Mo Sheng saw him like this, how could he be

willing to blame him.

In fact, it’s not that he didn’t want Yu Jin Li to learn how

to make energy cards. However, Yu Jin Li was still a beginner and didn’t know

enough about energy cards yet, and energy cards could explode.

Even if this kind of explosion does not kill people, but if

the little guy gets even a little bit hurt, he will feel distressed.

"In the future, when you are making energy cards, tell

me. Don't try to make them privately, understand? Nothing happened this time

because you were lucky." Jiang Mo Sheng said helplessly.

Since meeting the little guy, his emotions have fluctuated a

little bit, and his expression has also greatly changed. It can be said that

Jiang Mo Sheng has changed more now than in the entire previous decade combined,

but he is happy.

"Yes, yes. Next time, I will definitely tell Ah Sheng

beforehand. So, can you help me see why this energy card is so dark? It doesn't

have the bright color like the one you gave me." Yu Jin Li hurriedly passed

the energy card he had made to Jiang Mo Sheng.

Although Jiang Mo Sheng is not a craftsman and does not

specialize in it, he can still see the problem at a glance.

"Did you not integrate mental energy into the card when

you drew it?" Jiang Mo Sheng asked sharply.

"Ah? What energy?" Yu Jin Li obviously didn't

understand. “Isn't it all right just to draw the heart-shaped grass?”

"To make an energy card, it is necessary to integrate mental

energy into the figure of the creature as one draws. This way, after the

completed image is formed, it is already filled with energy." Jiang Mo

Sheng patiently informed to Yu Jin Li.

"If there is no energy injection in the drawing process,

it will be as dim as it is now." Jiang Mo Sheng waves the energy card in

his hand.

An energy card without any energy injection, the most

difficult part of the crafting process, is no different than a drawing on an energy

board.

"It turned out to be like this." Yu Jin Li

suddenly realized that he had underestimating the making of an energy card, and

even after a long time, he wasn’t able to get it right at all.

"But it's already great that you can draw this for your

first time. Don't worry, just take your time." Jiang Mo Sheng encouraged.

Yu Jin Li smiled, revealing two cute dimples, nodded

vigorously, and said firmly: "I will definitely become a great card

craftsman.”

"I also believed that Little Chestnut will become the

most powerful card craftsman." Jiang Mo Sheng echoed in favor.

Jiang Mo Sheng really did believe in what he said.

Little Chestnut is different from ordinary people. Currently,

Yu Jin Li’s mental power is tested to be at D-level, but on the road to become

a card craftsman, he will definitely not stop at D-level. Yes, Jiang Mo Sheng

believed so firmly.

Hearing Ah Sheng's trust, Yu Jin Li was very happy and said:

"In the future, I will give all the energy cards I made for Ah Sheng.”

“That’s great.”

In order to catch up with the little guy and to be able to

use the energy cards made by the little guy in the future, Jiang Mo Sheng must

also work harder at cultivation to recover. He can't be left behind by the

little guy.

Early the next morning, Jiang Mo Sheng personally sent Yu Jin

Li to Master Kamon's residence for a new day of study.

After the energy card production failure yesterday, Yu Jin

Li had calmed down a lot. He did not continue to try crafting with blank energy

cards, but instead devoted himself to memorizing all of the [Encyclopedia of

Unique Level-One Plants] since these seemed more useful to him.

When he arrived at the Kamon Residence, the owner was currently

eating breakfast, albeit with a frown on his face, seemingly dissatisfied with

the meal.

Kamon's usual expression was between angry and arrogant, and

now with a frown, it looked even more unapproachable. His many assistants

quietly stepped back for fear of being noticed by their master and further irritate

him.

"Can't even make a decent breakfast, what's the use of

raising you all?" Kamon said angrily.

As Yu Jin Li walked in, he happened to hear this sentence. Master

Kamon was in a bad mood, and upon seeing his new student, immediately redirect

his anger onto the little guy.

"You, go to the kitchen and make me breakfast."

Master Kamon commanded grimly.

"Oh." Yu Jin Li didn't think there was anything

wrong. Now that the teacher has spoken, he will just listen. He is a good koi

who respects his teacher.

He began to skillfully making breakfast, and did not notice

the sympathetic expressions cast by the people around.

Almost everyone present was thrown into the kitchen by Kamon

at some point, but only a very few was able to make a breakfast satisfying the

master.

Kamon's taste is relatively thick, and he has higher

requirements for what he eats. Sometimes even the professionally trained chefs

can't satisfy him, let alone the assistants.

Just when everyone secretly guessed that the new boy would

be stomp here, Yu Jin Li came out carrying a bowl of porridge and two side

dishes.

"There are not many ingredients in the kitchen, so I

just made a bowl of porridge, a dish of pickled cabbage, and a dish of mixed pickled

cucumbers. Great Master, please taste it." Yu Jin Li put a simple porridge

and the two dishes in front of Master Kamon.

When other people saw this, they felt even more sympathy for

Yu Jin Li, and silently prayed for him. They hoped that the master would not dump

the food on the new boy's head, after all, that was the person sent by the

Jiang family.

However, something astonishing happened. The master, who was

very picky about eating, did not dislike this simple breakfast. On the

contrary, after taking a bite, he began to eat with great gusto, quickly

devouring the dishes in front of him. Soon, the porridge and the two sides were

fully resolved, leaving nothing behind.

Everyone looked at Master Kamon and Yu Jin Li in disbelief.

They all gave this new boy a thumbs up in their hearts.

It’s amazing. This boy can comfort the master’s fuming mood.

Even a professional chef can’t do what he had just done. How simply amazing!

"Yes, you will make breakfast tomorrow." Kamon quietly

said while wiping his mouth.

"Okay." Yu Jin Li responded with a smile, and then

took the opportunity to say: "Great Master, I tried to make an energy card

yesterday, but I didn't integrate energy into it. How can I integrate energy into

the plant?"

As soon as Yu Jin Li finished speaking, he heard a gasp

around him, and even Kamon looked at him in surprise.

"Show me the energy card you made." Master Kamon's

eyes darkened, and he glanced at Yu Jin Li faintly.

Luckily, he is in a very good mood right now. If was before,

he would definitely scold the boy first. To actually dare to make a card before

any formal training, this is not diligence or bravery, but death!

Such irresponsible student, he would never teach!

Yu Jin Li hurriedly took out the energy card he had made.

Except for the appearance of plant that looked dim and dull, it was actually identical

to the other F-class cards featuring the heart-shaped grass.

At this moment, other assistants who saw it had a deep

impression on Yu Jin Li for the third time, and expressed shock.

This boy, who has never been in contact with an energy card,

was able to depict a plant successfully for his first time. Although the card

does not contain any energy, and therefore is not a real energy card, but just the

success of the drawing was enough for these people to worship his talents.

One must know that it takes a long time for beginners to

practice mental control before they can start to practice drawing on the energy

board. Only after hundreds of failures and practice, can they have enough

proficiency to draw a successful picture.

And yet it took Yu Jin Li only one night to draw

successfully. This talent has to be said to be really high.

When Kamon first saw the energy card, his eyes flashed with

surprise and appreciation. However, when he thought of the other's mental power,

his heart was heavy with pity.
