"I'm done."
In just one hour, Jiang Yuebai finished the fifty-page question book and handed it in with a frown. He didn't know whether he was not satisfied with the answer or was stumped by something.
The middle-aged female cultivator who came to pick up the collection of questions saw this and said with relief, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this collection of questions is indeed difficult. As the elder of the secret academy in charge of all the books and exercises of the Zhuge family, I can't answer it." That’s right, this is just to fully understand the strengths and weaknesses of fellow Taoists, and it won’t affect anything.”
"Um."
Jiang Yuebai nodded blankly, as if thinking about something, his left and right hands were swaying slightly, his brows were furrowed even more, and finally he simply took out a booklet and picked up a pen to write quickly.
Zhuge Hongjian from the Secret Academy smiled and didn't care. He took the question book to find the other four elders to judge together.
In addition to her, those who came here today include Zhuge Xiu, the great elder of the five major institutions, Tie Wanjiang, the great elder of the armor-making academy, Zhuge Yi from the drawing academy, and Zhuge Zhuge, the supreme elder specially invited by the head of the family, Zhuge Shou. Respectfully.
There are seven Supreme Elders of the Zhuge family, but six of them are like the ancestor of the Zhuge family, Lianxu. When there is no big crisis, they concentrate on cultivation and do not worry about chores. Only this Zhuge Jing will help the head of the family handle the affairs of the Zhuge family.
The chief elders of each courtyard, including the head of the family, have always been Nascent Soul monks. Among them, regardless of whether their surname is Zhuge, the chief elders are all capable people. If other elders have the ability to challenge, they can take their place at any time.
The treatment of becoming an elder in each dean is far better than that of ordinary teaching elders and guest elders. Just being able to get a reward of a Zhuge family secret method is enough to drive everyone crazy.
The four great elders separated the question sets and each corrected the parts they were good at. At the beginning, they corrected the basic questions and answers smoothly, until the last part, they couldn't help but pause.
"Hiss - why do I..." Don't understand this discussion?
Zhuge Xiu, the chief elder of the Institute, had a frown on his face and almost pulled out his mustache.
"Wonderful! You can actually split the formation like this!" I've learned, I've learned!
Zhuge Yi, the young elder of the Cartography Academy, squinted his small eyes and looked at it excitedly with his face almost pressed against the paper.
"What the hell is this? Wrong, wrong, wrong, all wrong!"
Tie Wanjiang, who has a straightforward temper and a loud voice, swept his ink brush randomly, leaving streaks of dazzling red on the test questions.
"What's wrong?"
The word "wrong" irritated Jiang Yuebai. She raised her head and looked at Tie Wanjiang, who was full of muscles and bronzed skin.
Tie Wanjiang was correcting the part about weapon refining. He was also the strongest weapon refiner in the entire Zhuge Family and even the Jiuhe Realm. He had been in charge of the Guanjia Institute for more than fifty years. The Yanjia he produced was directly supplied to the Taiwei Star Alliance's frontline defense. Demons have always been well received and demand exceeds supply.
Tie Wanjiang looked stunned, but he had a hobby, which was to collect various weapon refining maps. No matter how difficult the weapon refining map was in his hands, as long as he found the required materials, he could refine it perfectly.
Tie Wanjiang slapped the collection of questions on the table, his calloused fingers almost poking through the paper.
"These refining steps are totally wrong! The texture of Silver Frost Bamboo is hard and cold, and it needs to be burned for six hours to refine the bamboo essence. What is this that you have dissolved in Purple Jade Grass Dew? Grass dew belongs to water, Silver Frost Bamboo belongs to water. Once you put it in, everything will freeze!”
"And the latter ones, there are so many missing steps, and you don't follow the methods summarized by the senior experts. How can you ensure the quality and success rate of the weapon refining?"
Tie Wanjiang's loud voice attracted the head of the family, Zhuge Shou, and the Supreme Elder, Zhuge Jing, who were drinking tea and talking about something, to stand up and come over to see what was going on.
Mo Baichun and Zhuge Ziqian were also attracted, and several people surrounded Jiang Yuebai and Tie Wanjiang.
Jiang Yuebai stood up unhurriedly, not angry, but asked, "Dare I ask this senior brother, where did the weapon refining methods of the senior masters come from? The weapon refining techniques in the ancient times were rough. It’s unbearable, how did it develop to such a sophisticated level now?”
"Before you question my method, you should at least try what I wrote and make sure it doesn't work before you say it's wrong. Not everything in this world is static. People are getting smarter and vegetation will evolve. Where Silver Frost Bamboo used to grow Nothing can survive, but I don’t know when, the purple jade grass took root in the silver frost bamboo forest.”
"Has this senior brother ever thought about why? That's because Purple Jade Grass has evolved a new ability. It can not be afraid of the cold nature of Silver Frost Bamboo, and it can devour the nutrients of Silver Frost Bamboo very domineeringly, making itself stronger and stronger. . Under the way of heaven, all things are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. This purple jade grass is the nemesis of silver frost bamboo. If you don’t believe it, senior brother, go and try it and it will become clear to you!"
Tie Wanjiang still frowned and didn't believe it. Zhuge Shou had already asked Zhuge Hongjian, the great elder of the Secret Academy, to go and fetch Silver Frost Bamboo and Purple Jade Grass Dew.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhuge Xiu, the chief elder of the Institutional Academy, who just couldn't understand Jiang Yuebai's discussion, came to Jiang Yuebai with a collection of questions.
"What do you mean here?"
Jiang Yuebai glanced at it and said, "Actually, I have some doubts here, so the answer is not very rigorous. I dare to ask my senior brother, why does the angle of left and right rotation of this crossbow have to be so large? Although the shooting angle is large, the coverage area is small. It is wide, but the power will be seriously dispersed, resulting in insufficient momentum. Can the angle of attack be reduced a little, such as..."
Jiang Yuebai talked eloquently and stated her thoughts clearly. Zhuge Xiu stroked his mustache and nodded thoughtfully.
"It sounds feasible, but mechanics are very precise and involve math. Junior sister, wait a minute, let me do some calculations first."
Zhuge Xiu took the problem book, took out his pen and began to check whether the angle of attack Jiang Yuebai just mentioned could make the mechanism move.
"This junior sister hey hey hey."
Zhuge Yi, the elder of the Drafting Academy with a young face and extremely small eyes, came close to Jiang Yuebai, and his forehead almost hit Jiang Yuebai's face, so Jiang Yuebai quickly stepped away.
Zhuge Yi squinted his eyes and said, "I'm sorry. I have been working at my desk all year round to draw Yanjia structural diagrams. My eyes are not very good. My sea of consciousness was damaged in my early years. My consciousness is not clear and I cannot see with the help of external objects. Junior sister, don't blame me. I think Let me ask you this question, junior sister, what is the basis for splitting up formations like this?"
Jiang Yuebai pressed down the book of questions that Zhuge Yi was about to slap on her face, and took a look. It was a complete talisman array split into five parts, and then drawn on the five organs, and finally assembled into Yanjia. To ensure that the talisman array can operate smoothly, the disassembly method must be careful.
Jiang Yuebai said while taking something from the storage ring, "This is really not my technique. It was taught by one of my elders. She is extremely talented in formations, and I have only scratched the surface."
Jiang Yuebai looked through the notes he had taken when he asked Zhao Fuyi for advice, and pointed it out to Zhuge Yi, "Look, the entire disassembly process and demonstration process are recorded here. This photo jade also has images of the verification process. Senior brother can have a look."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much."
Zhuge Yi took Jiang Yuebai's booklet and put it on his face to read.
"Senior brother, be careful with your saliva! That's my baby!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhuge Yi quickly took the book away.
Zhuge Yi walked away, and Zhuge Xiu, who had a mustache in the hospital, called Jiang Yuebai again.
"Junior sister, come here, the shooting angle you changed doesn't work."
"Let me see...Senior brother, you made a mistake in this calculation. It should be...this number!"
"How can you count so quickly!"
"Isn't it simple?"
"Easy...?"
The head of the family, Zhuge Shou, and the Supreme Elder, Zhuge Jing, were watching this scene. They both laughed and shook their heads. It was obviously an assessment of Jiang Yuebai, but why did it turn into asking each other for advice and debate.
Moreover, Jiang Yuebai and Zhuge Xiu had already changed their questions, switching from mechanism skills to numeracy skills. Jiang Yuebai also changed from the person being tested to the one who taught Zhuge Xiu and set the questions to test him.
Facing the numeracy questions raised by Zhuge Xiu, Jiang Yuebai easily answered them, drawing inferences from one example and making Zhuge Xiu nod his head frequently. However, several times, Zhuge Xiu couldn't answer Jiang Yuebai's questions, which was quite embarrassing. .
During this period, Zhuge Yi kept asking Jiang Yuebai questions about the two lines of the talisman formation. Jiang Yuebai could answer them fluently, but her whimsical ideas confused Zhuge Yi again.
"Fellow Taoist Wangshu is so knowledgeable!"
Zhuge Ziqian sighed in surprise, and Mo Baichun also had a dull look on his face. Jiang Yuebai refreshed his understanding again. Now that she remembered the 'big words' Jiang Yuebai said before, she was shocked to realize that it was the truth.
With this amount of knowledge, she could easily deal with the two elders of the Zhuge family and the Talisman Formation. Maybe there was really nothing in this world that she couldn't learn.
What did this stinky girl eat when she grew up?
Seeing this, Zhuge Jing, the Supreme Elder, also admired Jiang Yuebai very much.
"If this person can stay in the Zhuge family for a long time, it will be a blessing for the Zhuge family!"
Zhuge Shou nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but looking at the current situation, an ordinary guest elder's contract would not satisfy Jiang Yuebai and would not be substantial enough.
"Master, I have brought the silver frost bamboo and purple jade grass dew."
At this time, Zhuge Hongjian came in from outside, holding a storage bag in his hand.
Tie Wanjiang, the stubborn elder of the Armor Manufacturing Institute, stood up from his chair, strode to Zhuge Hongjian and grabbed the storage bag.
He didn't believe that he, the number one weapon refiner in Jiuhe Realm, would be wrong!
See you tomorrow~
