Chapter 173: Mechanical Techniques - Celestial Craft Workshop! And That Sweet Love! (Seeking Subscription) _3
"Mechanical Techniques?"
In my impression of my past life, weren't the most impressive people in Mechanical Techniques those from the Mo Family?
Mozi, a powerful military strategist, versatile and truly a master.
So is this world's Mechanical Techniques what I understand?
"Yes!"
"Our Third State's Celestial Craft Workshop follows the Mechanical Techniques school. It's quite formidable, with explosive power that's extremely frightening and multifunctional."
"Some skilled craftsmen, with their exquisite mastery of materials, go through various complex processes; this is a treasure made by mortals."
"Truly terrifying!"
Xun Xian was very excited. She had heard about the Celestial Craft Workshop's items before, but had never actually seen them.
Unexpectedly, the treasure in Yuchi's hand was really a hidden gem, Wèi Sanlāng!
After hearing this, Yuchi was even more puzzled: "A treasure made by mortals?"
"That's right!"
Xun Xian stared, drooling at Yuchi's bird.
"It's said..."
"I mean, it's said."
"It's said they're all mortals, only mortals can persist in such a thing."
"Cultivators are usually busy cultivating; who has the time to mess with these things?"
"So cultivators are only powerful in cultivation. In other fields, they can't compare to mortals."
"Of course, the reason cultivators are so famous is still related to their general love for showing off."
Xun Xian also included herself in this criticism, to which Yuchi showed some agreement.
People's energy is limited; cultivation is already difficult. To mess with other things, isn't it just nonsense?
As for him, Yuchi, he doesn't need to cultivate; otherwise, if he did, would he still have the energy to fuss over business affairs?
As for other seamstresses, if they went to cultivate, who would quietly make clothes?
If the sisters of the brothel all went to cultivate, who would do business?
In summary.
Know a hundred skills but master one.
Then, under Xun Xian's excited introduction, Yuchi learned a bit more about the Celestial Craft Workshop.
First, it is very likely that everyone inside the Celestial Craft Workshop is mortal; they don't cultivate, they only engage in Mechanical Techniques.
Second, the Celestial Craft Workshop skillfully masters the rules of using Spirit Stones, able to utilize Spiritual Qi without cultivators.
Third, the people of the Celestial Craft Workshop are incredibly terrifying; the Spiritual Qi that a cultivator's body cannot withstand, the mechanisms can.
Thus, purely from the third point of view, the explosive power of mechanical treasures is simply unparalleled.
If Spiritual Qi is likened to electricity, apart from Yongxin Thunder King, others can't withstand much of the current.
But if the electricity is stored in the mechanism, when the mechanism comes with a battery pack, it would be like the effect of a red star nuclear explosion.
"From the perspective of my past life, their technology tree should be like the one humans chose."
"They follow the technological flow, rather than purely the biochemical flow."
"The pure biochemical flow is the cultivator, obsessed with strengthening oneself."
"The paths are fundamentally different."
There isn't really a right or wrong. Speaking of insights, Yuchi suddenly felt a lot of goodwill towards the Celestial Craft Workshop.
In the past, humans didn't rely on fists to defeat others, they relied on brains.
The people of the Celestial Craft Workshop rely on brains.
"If there's a chance in the future, I definitely want to visit the Celestial Craft Workshop to see this group of smart, hair-losing masters."
"Is this the romance of mechanisms!"
Similarly.
Yuchi also generally understood from Xun Xian's words some of the treasures from the other states.
The first state is Beast Bone.
The second state is Inscriptions.
The third state is Mechanism.
The fourth state, fifth state, and sixth state, Xun Xian couldn't remember. She thought she'd never leave the third state in her lifetime.
As for Beast Bone and Inscriptions, Yuchi asked Xun Xian, and Xun Xian said she only knew there was such a thing.
As for what this thing really is.
She didn't know.
And now...
She couldn't hold it in anymore, her face blushing red, the bold woman couldn't contain herself.
"Yuchi, what's your bird's name?"
"...Yi'Er."
"Can I touch it?"
"...Go ahead."
Yuchi always felt something was off, but Xun Xian didn't care at all. After taking the Yi'Er birdcage from Yuchi's hands,
she fiddled and played with it for a while and then began to perform.
Yi'Er wasn't just for sending messages.
Xun Xian infused some Spiritual Qi, and the previously little blue bird-like Yi'Er suddenly transformed.
Yi'Er's wooden feathers turned red, looking quite fierce now.
"I just need to infuse Yi'Er's body with Spiritual Qi, and she will rush at the enemy with high-pressure Spiritual Qi, directly attacking."
Yuchi, "Wow!"
Next, a small hole appeared at the bottom of the birdcage, from which four mechanical birds jumped out.
The mechanical birds had different shapes, each looking full of menacing vibes.
Xun Xian marveled, "This is a group attack!"
Yuchi was astounded.
Then, with Xun Xian's control of the Spiritual Qi, the birds began to merge.
Layer by layer, the mechanical tenon-mortise joints combined, and in the complex operation of the mechanism, a mechanical eagle stood on her palm.
The mechanical eagle was completely black, with deep, eerie eyes. Its wings flapped slowly, exuding the aura of a strong wind.
With its neck raised high, the eagle's eyes were proud, looking down on the world.
In Yuchi's shock, Xun Xian was deeply moved and said slowly:
"This mechanical eagle can accommodate an extremely terrifying amount of Spiritual Qi inside."
"A Foundation Establishment cultivator would take at least a year of continuous infusion to fill the entire eagle's void."
"And if this eagle is prepared in advance, its attack would be unstoppable even for the Core Formation Stage."
"Even though it's a one-time use, to take down a formidable enemy with a single treasure is quite a gain."
Besides simply saying 'whoa,' Yuchi didn't know what else to say.
Xun Xian was responsible for introducing, while he was responsible for being amazed.
The two were looking at a bird with eyes full of stars.
When the eagle disappeared and the birdcage returned to its original state, Xun Xian reluctantly returned Yi'Er to Yuchi.
"Good stuff, keep it well."
"Mm."
Looking at the item in his hand, Yuchi was just afraid he'd drop and break it with a careless shake of his hand.
Unable to hold it in, he asked an innocent question: "Miss Xun, what do you think is the value of this treasure?"
Immortal Stones aren't accepted, he didn't know how expensive this thing was.
"Value..."
Xun Xian's ten fingers moved quickly, but in the end, she couldn't calculate it.
Instead, she smiled and said, "How much gold and silver do you think a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation Stage is worth? That's how much this is worth."
Yuchi was taken aback, and praised, "Spot on!"
This was no longer something that gold and silver could measure. Once the form of that eagle appeared, it was truly the life of a Core Formation Stage.
Not to mention how much hatred one needs to have to get killed by such a mechanism.
Just raising a Core Formation Stage cultivator requires so much gold and silver.
... Understood.
This is a treasure I can't afford.
Yuchi understood.
"So where did this thing come from?" Xun Xian asked curiously.
"Take a guess," Yuchi replied.
"Did Song Yinghan give it to you?" Xun Xian said casually, not really believing it.
How could Yuchi and Song Yinghan possibly have such a good relationship?
And what kind of good relationship would it take to give a mechanical treasure?
Impossible.
"Smart." But Yuchi directly liked the comment.
"..."
Xun Xian's face was instantly filled with various expressions.
In her mind were two words.
Me!
Damn!
Feeling the pride of this old dog in front of her, Xun Xian was tearful. When would a big sister give me such a treasure?
I also want such a big sister.
Sadness poured like water.
After calming down for a while.
Looking at Yuchi's body, Xun Xian said with envy and jealousy, "You must have done a lot for her."
"Otherwise, why would she give you Yi'Er?"
"And how did you manage to convince her to give you such a precious thing?"
"Teach me, I want to get a treasure to play with too."
Holding Yi'Er, admiring its beauty, Yuchi couldn't help but look at Xun Xian with a wry smile.
"I don't know either."
"Maybe because I'm handsome?"
Xun Xian, "..."
