Bai Yuming had noticed Mo Shulin’s arrival long ago, but he had to finish the work in his hands before turning around.
“I have repaired five mechanical rats, and I can repair another one with the remaining materials.” Bai Yuming took out the contents inside the box one by one and displayed it for Mo Shulin to see.
Mo Shulin stepped forward, curious about what Bai Yuming had made.
In the box were a few strange-looking rats. Some lost their eyes, some lost their ears, and some didn’t look like a mouse at all, just a moving wood.
Mo Shulin never thought that Bai Yuming had such craftsmanship.
He always thought that his master wouldn’t know anything.
“How about it? Is it okay?” Bai Yuming’s eyes were filled with expectation and anxiety.
Although he’s not familiar with the mechanisms of this world, but how can he not be familiar with tearing apart toys when he was a boy. Bai Yuming relied on his previous experience in dismantling toys to complete the transformation of the mechanical rat.
He just don’t know if this can be considered a pass.
Mo Shulin thought for a moment, said: “Master this is too good. We can sell this things in small bazaar. Master we could sell these to make more money, and we could keep it if no one buys it”
There is a unified approach in Liangji sect’s things. Except for the core formation method, that is in the hands of the person in charge of the formation method hall, the method of the rest of the parts are open to public. The inlaid formations in mechanical beasts structure aren’t big secrets. Many sects also have similar mechanism for their mechanical beasts.
In order to prevent others from pretending to be a disciple from Liangji sect, apart from the uniform appearance, there’s inlaid formation specially drawn on the Liangji sect things. Although the loss of a small materials cannot be prevented, it can prevent large-scale production.
As a martial art cultivators, when they really wants to explore a large area, a completely unified mechanical rat is a great cover.
Large-scale production is the style of the martial art cultivators.
But Bai Yuming’s several mechanical rats have even changed their appearance, and it’s impossible for the Liangji sect to recycle such things.
Mo Shulin didn’t completely deceive Bai Yuming. Bai Yuming has a high cultivation base, it’s also better than the original even if he make a random one. Bai Yuming’s several mechanical rats can be sold at a good price.
Mo Shulin also often left the parts that couldn’t be repaired and sold them. Turns out, Bai Yuming has ended up on the same road like him by accident.
“Great. Sure enough, technological innovation is a strategic support to increase productivity and must be placed at the core of the overall situation.” Bai Yuming didn’t know that his little disciple was coaxing him, still immersed in the praise from Mo Shulin.
Hearing this weird sentence, Mo Shulin didn’t quite understand it for a while. He can understand it when taken apart word by word, but he’s at a loss about the meaning when it’s placed together. It can be seen that master read a lot of scripts, and he has drunk a quite amount of ink.
Bai Yuming was praised and became even more motivated to work.
Pour a bit of water on the seeds then transfer some spiritual energy. Bai Yuming could feel that the seeds in the pot seemed very unhealthy and sick, like him when he didn’t want to get up and kept lying on the grass nest.
Bai Yuming once asked Mo Shulin why he didn’t just soak it in cold water, using a combination of snow and water to grow the seeds.
Mo Shulin answered a reason that Bai Yuming could not refute, “Snow is colder than cold water.”
The implication is that using a normal cold water is almost like “hot water” for the seeds, it’s just that the seeds are still too weak so they have to be moistened by cold water.
This really involves Bai Yuming’s knowledge blind spot.
It’s good to ask more.
After Bai Yuming wrote three days worth of characters, he realized that the heart-cleansing talismans doesn’t have to be written with a brush. After changing to his hands, his speed has risen sharply, and the font also become nicer.
Mo Shulin’s brows were furrowed to the point that he could pinch flies, he was very dissatisfied with Bai Yuming’s dirty hands and stained clothes.
Bai Yuming sometimes cleans up his clothes with spell, and sometimes he forgets to change back to a rabbit directly, leaving his clothes aside.
Mo Shulin was like an old mother in heart. Even if Bai Yuming became a rabbit, he would have to catch Bai Yuming’s paws and rub it hard before letting Bai Yuming go to sleep. The robes that were taken off were also carefully washed. As for the rest of the more privacy-lined clothes, Mo Shulin placed them in a small rattan basket, waiting for Bai Yuming to deal with it by himself.
Originally, Mo Shulin was also very straightforward and couldn’t distinguish the difference between flaming red and burgundy. After helping Bai Yuming wash his outer robe a few more times, he discovered that although Bai Yuming often wears red, the color of each piece is different. Some are dark, some light, some yellow, and some blue. It’s really not a confidante.
Recalling the time when talking about Yan Qianqian’s clothes before, Bai Yuming exaggerating his appearance. Mo Shulin was surprised to find that Master didn’t look at the world as if it was a contest, but rather a bright and expressive way.
Finally, until the first day of next month, the two who had received another monthly spirit stones, went in to hand over the task.
The mission hall has someone responsible for checking the quality of the items. The things that Mo Shulin brought out were all excellent. All passed through, including the mechanical rat that got damaged by Bai Yuming. However, the number Mo Shulin received were also large, and the finished quantity was stuck on the qualified line. Since Bai Yuming was beside him, the disciple in charge of the inspection didn’t deduct Mo Shulin’s spirit stone.
“A total of ninety-eight low-grade spirit stones, this is yours.” Another disciple who was responsible for handing out the money placed the 98 low-grade spirit stones on the table.
Bai Yuming frowned, “How few.”
Mo Shulin took on five tasks, all of which has dozens and hundreds of things to do. As a result, after so much work, he didn’t even get a medium-grade spirit stone.
After thanking him, Mo Shulin accepted the spirit stone and explained: “It’s a lot. He’s already kind for not deducting my spirit stones.”
While not forgetting his young age, he said another kind word, “Thank you two shixiongs.”
“No need to be so polite. It’s Shidi who is doing well, well-known master cultivates good disciple.” The disciples responsible for checking the quality hurriedly gave a praise. He knows the relationship between Bai Yuming and Shangguan Zhuqing.
“Shidi’s mouth is so sweet. It can be said that we really have the fate of being brothers. We’re not in charge, but only outer disciples. It’s a good fate for shidi, having a good master to accompany you handing in task.” The disciple who gave the money was a little bit daring, peering at Bai Yuming’s eyes with a little expectation.
Mo Shulin naturally understood the meaning in those words. These disciples also specially emphasizes the outer sect, which means hoping to find a master. Although Bai Yuming looked poor, but his cultivation was unfathomable.
A red robe is very recognizable. Everyone who works in the mission hall knows that Bai Yuming and Shangguan Zhuqing have a good relationship. Instead of spending hundreds of years in the outer sect, it’s better to give it a try. Maybe you’ll fall into Bai Yuming’s eyes.
The former is just trying to get a good impression, while the latter is completely daring, wanting to squeeze his inner disciple.
Mo Shulin was really annoyed, he didn’t know whether Bai Yuming understood the meaning behind it.
Bai Yuming naturally understands it. Even if he didn’t understand, he still felt the greedy hostility of these two disciples.
The former felt that he looked down on him as a demon cultivator, and latter felt that his status was high, and wanted to make some money from him. Bai Yuming didn’t like this feeling, so he often stayed on Yuexue Peak.
His little disciple is still young and can’t understand these ill-intention, but as a master, how can he let his little disciple be wronged?
Bai Yuming smiled, and said, “You’re too good at talking. What kind of graces cultivated in your previous life will have to bear the fruit in this life. I waited thousands of years to wait for this cute and obedient disciple, so this isn’t fate.”
“An ordinary rabbit demon like me can be selected by Mrs. Bai Yu. What a blessing I’ve cultivated in my laat life.”
“So, don’t worry, as long as you work hard, I believe you’ll bear your fruit will be in the near future. “
Mo Shulin understood the ridicule in Bai Yuming’s words, became very surprised.
