Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 70 Recycling, Sorting

After making his first soul guide, Chi Ping was no longer an apprentice, but a junior soul guide certified by the workshop.

This is a title proposed by Liu Wenzhi, which is a rating for people who have mastered the technology of making soul guides.

Those who are certified will receive a certificate, which allows them to move freely within the workshop.

This was recognition of Chi Ping's craftsmanship, and it also meant that he could learn the manufacturing techniques of other soul guides in the workshop.

In the workshop, apprentices, apart from the basic knowledge, are only allowed to learn the production process of a primary soul guide.

This is a confidentiality measure and also a way to prevent apprentices from having unrealistic expectations.

After all, even Chi Ping, who had fully developed his intuition, took him three full months to go from a layman to mastering the skills of a basic soul guide.

If it were an ordinary person, unless he was focused enough, it would probably take several years for him to get started.

With benefits come obligations.

The workshop’s task target for junior soul engineers is to produce five primary soul guide devices per month, and they will receive a salary.

With the intuitive focusing effect and the extra changing hand working together, Chi Ping's success rate in making primary soul guide cores is so high that failure is almost non-existent.

Moreover, he was very fast and could complete two primary soul guides in one day, which was quite outstanding among the primary soul guides in the workshop.

Therefore, after completing the target, Chi Ping had plenty of time to learn the inscriptions of other primary soul guides.

By analogy, Chi Ping mastered the elementary soul guide inscriptions at an astonishing speed. In less than a month, he mastered all the elementary soul guide inscriptions in the workshop.

This is partly because the workshop has a limited number of primary soul guides of similar types, and partly because Chi Ping's basic qualities are solid enough, and his soul power control, body control, memory, etc. are all top-notch.

After that, Chi Ping began to study intermediate soul guides.

With Xue Qinghe's attention, as long as Chi Ping's level is sufficient, no one in the workshop dares to stop Chi Ping from learning this knowledge.

After the intermediate soul guides came the advanced soul guides, and Chi Ping learned them one level at a time.

It takes 3 months to get started and lay the foundation, 2 months to reach the level of intermediate soul instructor, and another 3 months to reach the level of senior soul instructor.

You have to walk the road by yourself after this. The highest level of the workshop is also at this level. You may go further, but there is no qualitative change.

……

In the lobby of Qingzhu Garden, Chi Ping was doing an experiment. Xue Qinghe was curious and came over to take a look.

"You've reached the level of a high-level soul engineer so quickly? I was shocked when I heard Master Wenzhi talk about it." Xue Qinghe asked.

"It's just the beginning." Chi Ping said casually.

Maybe it's because they have been together for a long time, or maybe it's because Xue Qinghe's methods are sophisticated enough, Chi Ping has become more and more casual with him.

"I have only learned a third-level soul guide, and I am still far from completing it."

"Level 3 soul guide?"

"Master Wenzhi's classification is a bit stingy. From one to nine, it corresponds to the one to nine rings of soul masters. If you want to promote soul guides, you should have this courage."

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said. I have to talk to Master Wenzhi next time I see him."

"It's up to you. Anyway, I think the profession of soul guide has this potential."

Xue Qinghe was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you think it would be helpful if I sent more people to learn soul guides?"

Chi Ping rolled his eyes. "Unless the problem of raw material scarcity is solved. And the basic theory of soul guides must be perfected, at least theoretically deduced to the level of a seventh-level soul guide. This will take dozens or even hundreds of years."

"Then isn't it too early for you to say such big words?"

"What do you mean by big talk?" Chi Ping's tone rose eight degrees. "Without ideals, you are nothing! And I'm not the only one working towards this goal. Isn't Master Wenzhi also researching the miniaturization of inscriptions?"

"What does salted fish mean?"

"A salted fish is a dead fish, and a dead fish cannot turn over."

Xue Qinghe seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you doing?"

"To do an experiment."

"What experiment?" "An experiment on recycling and reusing materials."

"Relying on these bottles and jars?" Xue Qinghe became even more curious.

There was a huge table in the middle of the hall, on which were placed many glass jars filled with various powders, and four large jars filled with strange milky white mucus. Looking closely, one could see that the mucus contained faint colors of gold, blue, purple and brown.

"It's a bit disgusting."

"I don't like what you said." Chi Ping said unhappily.

"How did you make this thing?" Xue Qinghe pointed at the mucus jar.

"I made the elemental adhesive using my martial spirit."

“I’m asking how to do it.”

Chi Ping sighed, "The mycelium devours the elemental substances, and after digesting them to a certain extent, it squeezes out the juice, and then adds some auxiliary ingredients to make it."

"nausea."

"How can scientific research be disgusting!" Chi Ping glared.

Xue Qinghe turned a blind eye and asked, "What's the use of it?"

Chi Ping took an empty jar, mixed the water element adhesive and blue jade powder in a ratio of 3:7, stirred evenly, and poured it into a spherical mold.

While inputting soul power, Xue Qinghe waited. During the waiting period, he picked up the two experimental record books on the table and flipped through them casually.

After a quarter of an hour, open the mold and take out a blue and white ball.

"That's how it's used. Rare metals can be smelted and recycled, but jade can only be carved once, so it's hard to reuse. So I came up with this idea, grinding and reshaping the waste jade. The effect is definitely not as good as the original intact one, but it's also about 70% effective."

"It's a wonderful idea." Xue Qinghe picked up the blue and white ball and walked to the window. It looked like a low-quality gem in the sunlight. "Can it be promoted?"

"I have consulted with a herbalist, and he recommended me several plants with similar properties to my mycelium. I have done experiments. The adhesive extracted is not as effective, but it is barely usable. I have also written down the formula, you can take it if you want it."

"Thank you."

Ikehira, "If you hadn't allowed me, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to master this knowledge."

Xue Qinghe smiled and continued, "But I see that you seem to have recorded more than just these. What does this 'energy-gathering inscription loop' mean?"

"This is theoretical research. I am 'disassembling' the soul guide inscription."

"Oh?" Xue Qinghe made a curious sound.

"Many things are made up of very small parts. Just like a gun can be divided into the gun tip, gun barrel, rivets and red tassel. Each part has its own function. The gun tip is sharp and can break armor, the gun barrel is flexible and can store power, the rivets are connected, and the red tassel absorbs blood.

The same is true for soul guide inscriptions, and the energy-gathering inscription circuit is one of them. If you understand the function of each line and each circuit, you can understand the principle of the soul guide and research better works.

The workshop is still in its early stages of research in this area and has not yet formed a system. I hope to build this system. But now I have encountered some difficulties. "

"What's the difficulty?"

Chi Ping spread his hands, looking distressed, "There are too few examples."

"Is there any solution?"

"Dismantle those higher-level soul guides that have been handed down."

"Can it be restored?"

"Not guaranteed."

Xue Qinghe had a headache, "It is indeed a problem."

High-level soul guides are all treasures, how can they be given to Chi Ping to cause trouble?

"Let's talk about something happy. You can't be here just to watch the fun, right?"

Xue Qinghe smiled, "This year, grain production reports from various places have arrived one after another. A bumper harvest has been confirmed near Tiandou City. I am looking forward to the follow-up reports."

Ikehira also smiled, "That is indeed something to be happy about."
