Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 39 Rest

After all the parts were finished, Yuan Changqing returned home and slept for three days and three nights.

Yuan Changqing's condition terrified Wang Yuyan and Catherine, and their families were extremely worried when they found out.

Grandpa finally checked him over and found out that he was just too tired. He said he was recovering and that everyone shouldn't worry.

It seems that Grandpa, as the head of the family, was the most composed and did not lose his composure.

Yuan Changqing was indeed physically and mentally exhausted after working at high intensity for some time.

So once he finished building what he needed to build, he relaxed and entered a recovery state during sleep.

However, this high-intensity work also tempered Yuan Changqing's body and mind, making his willpower stronger, which was not without its benefits.

Three days later, when Yuan Changqing woke up, he felt unusually hungry.

Stepping out of the room and into the living room, I saw Catherine and Wang Yuyan were both there.

"Honey, is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

Seeing the fruit on the living room table, he picked it up and ate it, while asking the two women if they had anything to eat.

Wang Yuyan quickly stood up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I know you've been working so hard lately, so I prepared it for you a long time ago. I'm still keeping it warm in the kitchen for you. I'll bring it over to you right away."

"Okay, thank you both, my wives."

Wang Yuyan went to the kitchen to bring him food, and Catherine started nagging him.

"How can you be so careless with your health? Do you know you've been sleeping for three days and three nights? You scared me and my sister Yuyan to death! What would we do if something happened to you? What would we do with Yuyan and our two children?"

As Catherine spoke, tears began to stream down her face.

Yuan Changqing was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just doing it in a really good way at the time, so I didn't stop."

He added, "I won't work so hard anymore. Through this experience, my forging skills have reached a new level."

"If I want to make further progress, I'll need to wait until my soul power is stronger and my mental strength is improved."

At this moment, Wang Yuyan brought out the food, and Yuan Changqing sat down at the table and began to eat.

Catherine turned her head to the side and wiped away her tears; she didn't want Wang Yuyan to see that she had cried.

Seeing Yuan Changqing eating so heartily, Wang Yuyan felt extremely sorry for him.

"Brother Changqing, have you finished making the alchemy furnace yet?"

"It's basically done, just the final assembly is left. After assembly, we'll test it to see if it meets my design requirements."

Catherine asked, "Do you also know how to refine pills?"

Yuan Changqing scratched his head and said, "I've never actually refined pills before, but I do know a bit about preparing medicine."

"I can just use this to refine pills. As long as I can refine the pills, the effect should be the same."

"As long as you understand the properties of medicinal herbs, you can combine different herbs to create combinations with different effects, and thus refine different elixirs."

"Actually, the best alchemists should be fire-attribute soul masters. In our family, the only fire-attribute soul masters are my uncle and Ye Guang."

"However, we can also rely on external forces, it's just not as convenient. But even for fire-attribute soul masters, the requirements for soul power are still very high."

"Of course, I'm talking about alchemy, without the aid of external forces."

"There aren't as many requirements for some kinds of medicinal powders, since they are basically the lowest grade of medicines."

Hearing Yuan Changqing say this, the two women gained an understanding of the process; they hadn't expected that alchemy involved so many conditions.

Wang Yuyan asked, "Brother Changqing, you've shown me so many books on medicine and related subjects. Does that mean I can refine pills in the future?"

"Alchemy isn't something you can just do on a whim; it requires repeated practice. For example, you need to master the heat. If the heat is too high, the medicinal herbs will just turn to ashes."

"Furthermore, the required heat level is different for each type of medicinal herb, and the timing of adding the herbs is also different."

"Only through continuous experimentation can we master these techniques and have the possibility of alchemy."

"Therefore, in alchemy, the control of the heat and the order in which the medicinal materials are added are of paramount importance."

"But we shouldn't be discouraged. We can start with the simple things. Once we're familiar with the herbs, we can get the rest done."

When Catherine and Wang Yuyan heard Yuan Changqing say this, they knew that alchemy was no simple matter.

Catherine asked, "Honey, when are you going to assemble your alchemy furnace?"

"Let me wait a few days. Let me rest for a few days and get my body and mind back to their best condition before I start assembling. This period has really exhausted me."

"This is the first time I've ever been this tired in my life. But although I'm exhausted, this experience has made my mind more focused, and I'm more confident in absorbing spirit rings with longer lifespans in the future."

The two women were happy for Yuan Changqing after hearing this, since the higher the age of the soul ring absorbed, the stronger the soul skill will be.

...

a few days later.

During his few days of rest, Yuan Changqing did nothing except for his daily, unwavering soul power cultivation. He simply let his mind wander.

Balancing work and rest is the best way to recover, and Yuan Changqing is recovering quickly.

After recovering, Yuan Changqing, feeling refreshed, went to the blacksmith shop alone and began assembling the alchemy furnace and the dragon-seeking disc.

Looking at the two piles of parts, one for the alchemy furnace and the other for the dragon-seeking disc, Yuan Changqing placed them into two separate piles after he finished crafting the parts.

Now all that's left is the final assembly. Yuan Changqing first walked towards the pile of parts for the Dragon-Seeking Disc.

Pick up the parts, place them on the worktable, and begin the assembly work according to the designed order.

Yuan Changqing assembled the parts one by one. These were not complicated; he had assembled all the previous storage spaces before.

In no time, the Dragon-Seeking Compass appeared completely before his eyes. Looking at his work, he felt a sense of satisfaction.

As for how well this dragon-finding compass works, it's hard to say right now, as this is his first time making one.

Yuan Changqing also had a Dragon-Seeking Compass in his previous life, which was left to him by his grandfather, so he didn't know how this one was doing now.

Yuan Changqing plans to try out the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon Treasure Land on the back mountain after he finishes his work here.

If feasible, then Yuan Changqing can build the array base and array flags for that precious land.

He had also prepared a lot of materials for the array flags. The Vajra Tree that Yuan Changqing obtained when he acquired his sixth soul ring was a very good material, after all, it was a 30,000-year-old Vajra Tree.

However, setting up formations there, especially interconnected formations—formations within formations—would be a real test of one's skills and would require careful consideration.

But we can take it slow. Right now, it's most important to focus on the things at hand.
