A gentle breeze carried the foxy smile of a little girl. Lin Hengjin found Zhu Yi to be very approachable, not at all as arrogant as he had imagined before coming.
On the contrary, she had many ingenious ideas, which made him feel that it didn't matter if he didn't like making weapons.
There are many things in life worth thinking about. If we think more, we can always improve some interesting things and bring about changes for people.
If Zhu Yi knew that her unintentional actions had planted a seed of invention in the boy's heart, she would be overjoyed. Peng Di's vanity was beyond words.
Ahem, we've gotten off topic.
"Junior Sister Zhu Yi, what grade of black iron do you want to use to forge this mobile food cart?" After listening to Zhu Yi's eloquent introduction, Lin Hengjin began to think about how to forge and refine this mobile food cart.
"What grade of metal is Senior Brother Lin better at refining?" Zhu Yi asked tactfully, which, in other words, meant to ask Lin Hengjin what his refining level was.
“I am a half-step master-level weapon refiner, capable of refining high-grade black iron ore, but I think it would be perfectly fine to use mid-grade black iron to make Junior Sister Zhu Yi’s mobile food cart.”
Lin Hengjin paused, then looked up and saw Zhu Yi's full trust.
"Mobile food carts are mainly used in markets, towns, and other places where people gather. Unless there are some particularly serious violent attacks, they can be used for a long time."
Zhu Yi raised her eyebrows, realizing that her previous estimate was that it would be very expensive to use only high-grade black iron, and she had prepared fifteen mid-grade spirit stones!
"If we use mid-grade spirit stones, how many years can the small food cart be used?" With the budget reduced, how many years can this small food cart last? "Senior brother, we can't go through all that trouble to build it only to have it break down in two or three years!"
Lin Hengjin choked: "If it is made entirely of mid-grade black iron, it can last for twenty years without any problem. If it is made of a combination of 70% mid-grade black iron and 30% high-grade black iron, it can last for more than 30 years."
Zhu Yi's eyes darted around, and she showed her little white teeth, looking a bit like a little zombie...
Lin Hengjin looked rather creepy. Honest people are just dull and can only tell the truth dryly: "This is just my estimate. The actual result depends on the quality of the food cart I make."
Zhu Yi handed a thick stack of blueprints and explanations to Lin Hengjin, and also gave him eight mid-grade spirit stones: "Then it's settled. Senior brother, keep these safe for now and use them to buy materials. If you need more, just let me know later."
"I want the one with the 3/7 split." Zhu Yi preferred to choose the one with better quality within her budget.
It shouldn't be considered extravagant.
After discussing matters with Lin Hengjin, Zhu Yi turned around and went to the library to look for books. She searched around the bookshelves several times, looking for books on simple food in the world of cultivation, such as "Simple Food Guide for Cultivation" and "Delicious Meals," but she couldn't find many practical books on the food of the world of cultivation.
"What's the point of these cultivators eating and drinking all day?" Zhu Yi thought to herself.
"What book is Junior Sister looking for?" A soft voice came from behind Zhu Yi; it was Sui An, the senior brother on duty at the library.
He exudes a scholarly air and is very polite. If he were to wear a fitted robe of moon-shine brocade, he would be the white moonlight in the hearts of countless girls, like a senior student suddenly discovered reciting his lessons by a small flower bed in the shade of a summer tree.
Unfortunately, he was wearing a jet-black robe embroidered with cloud patterns today. Zhu Yi blurted out, "Senior Brother Sui'an, you're too thin!"
The words were on the tip of Zhu Yi's tongue, but what she really wanted to say was, "Brother Sui'an, your waist is so slim!"
Her little flaws of being greedy for money and lustful came out, and she was a bit hesitant to tell people directly.
After all, the ancients were conservative. Although the customs of the cultivation world were open and there were not as many rules of etiquette as in the human world, it was still not appropriate to be too explicit.
Zhu Yi looked down at her small frame and felt that she was a little thin. She could eat more at each meal: "I just wanted to see the dietary customs of our cultivation world, but after searching for a long time, I only found two books."
She frowned: "It's not enough to see."
Sui An didn't mind that she said she was thin, but he felt slightly uncomfortable because it was rare for a girl to say that so directly.
But seeing her slightly conflicted expression, looking like a greedy cat, I couldn't help but laugh: "There are indeed fewer books about food, but Junior Sister can read more books about spiritual plants. Many spiritual plant herbs are also very good for cooking!"
This is a little girl, so she can say whatever comes to mind. She's a painter, so she doesn't need to be very strong.
"Yes!" Zhu Yi thought for a moment and realized that she should indeed read more books about spiritual plants and refine more pills in her spare time.
Back in the Bodhi Secret Realm, Zhu Yi almost advanced to the level of a master alchemist, but the Bodhi Divine Tree gave her not many medicinal herbs to practice with, and she couldn't gather all the recipes in the "Saving the World Pill Formula". Her master-level pills were somewhat lacking, and she should currently be considered a half-step master alchemist.
Zhu Yi found a book titled "Master-Level Alchemist's Failure Records Handbook".
"This blue-covered book has been gathering dust in some corner. Junior Sister, why don't you read this 'Alchemist Advancement Manual'? It would be much better," Sui An kindly recommended.
"No! This one is great!" Zhu Yi quickly flipped through "Master-Level Alchemist's Failure Records." Not bad, it seems the author really failed many times while advancing his skills, otherwise he couldn't have summarized so much in such a long way. "Don't read too many books on methods. When it comes to alchemy, the most important thing is for me to practice by opening my own furnace. Reading too many books on methods can easily lead you astray."
Sui An listened attentively. At this time, there weren't many people in the library yet. Zhu Yi's low voice landed on the bookshelf, and it made a lot of sense.
“That’s right. Junior Sister wants to borrow these three books this time? It’s only the middle of the month, there are still half a month left for you to finish studying them all?” Sui An felt that Zhu Yi was very wealthy, it was confirmed, she was a hidden rich person, she could afford the spirit stones set by the Imperial Mirror Master.
"It's not good to keep paying penalty spirit stones."
Zhu Yi saw envy in Sui An's astonished gaze?
"Hehe, I won't take the book away. I'll just read it at the desk by the window!" Zhu Yi thought of a way to perfectly avoid Master Yujing's assessment. She would stay in the library and read without borrowing or registering. When the assessment came at the end of the month, she would choose the simplest book for the test, perfectly avoiding the spirit stones penalty for failing the book-borrowing assessment.
Sui An thought for a moment, "I feel like you're exploiting a loophole in the rules of the Imperial Mirror Master, but I can't find any problems with them..."
"That's basic stuff! If my senior can find a problem, why would I bother exploiting any loopholes?"
Zhu Yi was a little happy. She spent the whole day reading books in the library, but she never expected that her master, the Imperial Mirror Master, was really knowledgeable!
As dusk settled and the lights began to twinkle, the sect nameplate at her waist gleamed as she gracefully stepped out of the library…
