Chapter 300: [299] Bullying the Female Profound Master

Lan Jiayao, the head profound master of Tianrong Hall, was feeling a bit of a headache at the moment.

It was because there was an official document placed in front of her.

The author of this document was none other than Cheng Han, the genius profound master who single-handedly repaired a section of the Heavenly Ring. This made her have to take it seriously.

Lan Jiayao picked up the exquisitely bound document and skimmed over the meaningless pleasantries at the beginning, directly looking at the words at the end:

"... In order to effectively maintain and repair the spiritual branches and leaves of the Divine Banyan, this hall urgently needs thirty craftsmen and two hundred apprentice craftsmen.

"I hereby apply for your approval, Head Profound Master!"

Lan Jiayao put down the document, and a cold mist flickered in her beautiful eyes.

This is really unbelievable!

What does repairing the damage to the Divine Banyan have to do with craftsmen?

Could it be that they want the craftsmen to use saws and planes to give the Divine Banyan a makeover?

The head profound master couldn't help but "hmph" and a few ethereal ice flowers appeared silently nearby.

Lan Jiayao turned to look at a maid, her tone as indifferent as ever: "How many explosions have occurred at the 'Science and Demon Research Institute' under Cheng's jurisdiction recently?"

The maid, who had an exceptional appearance, immediately reported: "In the past half month, the Science and Demon Research Institute has conducted intensive experiments on the 'internal combustion engine' and there have been a total of twelve explosions.

"In these accidents, three craftsmen and twelve apprentices were injured, and the Science and Demon Research Institute is currently lacking manpower."

This answer clearly revealed the true reason for "requesting" craftsmen.

The mention of "repairing the Divine Banyan" was obviously just an excuse on the surface.

Lan Jiayao fell silent, and the ice flowers floating around her instantly multiplied several times.

Honestly speaking.

If it were any other profound master who dared to do this, the head profound master would definitely not hesitate to reward them with a freezing profound technique, letting them experience what it means to be chilled to the core.

But Cheng Han was different.

The palace lord had privately instructed to satisfy Cheng Han's every request as much as possible.

Lan Jiayao sighed: "I remember that the master craftsman at the Science and Demon Research Institute has a very poor relationship with the vice head profound master of the Heavenly Workshop, right?"

The maid nodded: "Yes! That 'Luo Zhenhuan' master craftsman had a dispute with the vice head profound master of the Heavenly Workshop many years ago and has been marginalized ever since."

Lan Jiayao's tone fluctuated for the first time: "So, is this asking me to go to the Heavenly Workshop and ask for a batch of craftsmen?"

The maid did not speak, but from her expression, it was clear that she also agreed with this conclusion.

After all, many people in the palace knew that Lan Jiayao was the confidante of the palace lord.

If Lan Jiayao personally went to the Heavenly Workshop, they would most likely agree.

In other words.

The meaning of this document is to use the head profound master as a pawn.

Lan Jiayao sat quietly for a few seconds, her pretty face filled with helplessness: "Clearly, he has exceptional talent, but he spends so much effort on useless things. Are all geniuses so capricious?"

In the eyes of this female head profound master, the Science and Demon Research Institute was just a product of fooling around.

But the palace lord chose to turn a blind eye, and she couldn't say much.

The female profound master stood up slowly and finally compromised: "Forget it, I'll go to the Heavenly Workshop!"

Originally, she thought that being the head profound master of a new organization meant picking up credits effortlessly, but now it seems not so easy.

Lan Jiayao walked quickly towards the door, and with each step she took, a frost flower bloomed on the ground.

From this small detail, it can be seen that her mood is obviously not as calm as her appearance.

As the head profound master, she has to run errands for the profound master. Who is the superior and who is the subordinate after all?

This is too much of a bullying!

In the forest villa.

The news of what happened at the Heavenly Workshop quickly spread.

After listening to the report from his servant, Cheng Han smiled with satisfaction: "The head profound master Lan is indeed capable!"

This female profound master went straight to the Heavenly Workshop and asked for sixty craftsmen and four hundred apprentice craftsmen.

This is not a small number, but it is twice as much as what the document requested.

The head profound master of the Heavenly Workshop, of course, refused to comply.

Now that the war between the two realms has begun, a huge amount of resources is consumed on the front lines every day, and the Heavenly Workshop has tasks to complete every month.

After some bargaining.

The Heavenly Workshop, considering the palace lord's face, reluctantly agreed to "squeeze out" thirty-five craftsmen and two hundred and fifty apprentice craftsmen.

This is much more than what the Science and Demon Research Institute needed. How could he not be satisfied?

Cheng Han sighed and said, "The profound masters are indeed capable," and continued to study and analyze the wealth of high-end knowledge obtained from deciphering the Source Profound Crystal.

Using this knowledge in the morning, he completed a repair on the Profound Seal.

"Spiritual Misty Forest Profound Seal, First Rank, completeness 62.82%."

The completeness increased by 9.15%, and although the increment was not much, the mental value limit increased by 1.2 points, reaching another new high of 225.7 points.

Cheng Han pondered for a long time and sighed, "If we can understand the principles behind the extraction of the Source Profound Crystal from the Abyss of Source Energy, perhaps condensing the Divine Seal won't be a problem."

He shook his head, "Unfortunately, the level is too high, and I can only grasp a little bit of it."

Cheng Han adjusted his mood, took out a stack of manuscript paper, and began to write a letter to the Scientific Demon Research Institute, assigning a task.

By the way.

Also to test the new abilities derived from the Lingmiao Wansen Xuan Seal.

After all, the previous official document presented to the Master Xuan Shi clearly stated that the request for craftsmen was to better maintain the Divine Banyan.

As a genius, how could he deceive a woman with empty words?

*

Three days later.

A large number of parts handcrafted by craftsmen were transported to the forest.

Under the guidance of several apprentices, a group of Lingxiang Yao "workers" successfully assembled a large single-cylinder "Scientific Demon Internal Combustion Engine".

The reason why it was called the "Scientific Demon Internal Combustion Engine" was because it incorporated more than a dozen unique technologies of this world.

During this process, Cheng Han displayed skills comparable to a level six metalworker, skillfully filing and grinding, repairing many defects.

This extremely high efficiency and exquisite craftsmanship made the group of craftsmen stare blankly, each feeling a sense of "realizing that they are inferior to trees today".

Second-class craftsman Liang Ming, boldly suggested, "Special Envoy Cheng, I heard that this batch of Lingxiang Yao will be distributed to the small Lingjing in a few months."

"These Lingxiang Yao are comparable to the best apprentices. I think it's best to keep them."

Cheng Han smiled and replied, "Rest assured, they won't go to the small Lingjing. The Palace Master has already applied for another batch of Lingxiang Yao from the higher-level Divine City."

Previously, he used the Lingxiang Yao to repair the Tianhuan for another purpose, which was to keep these tree spirits.

After nurturing them for so long, of course, he had to find a way to keep them.

*

Two more days passed.

For the first time since the establishment of the Divine Banyan Hall, they fulfilled their duties.

More than a hundred soldiers in red armor exerted a lot of effort to move two Scientific Demon Internal Combustion Engines underground.

The craftsmen started the machines and connected a pipeline.

And this time, the operation lasted for two days and two nights, which was considered a verification of its reliability.

*

The next day.

The Master Xuan Shi of the Divine Banyan Hall, Lan Jiayao, heard an astonishing news from a maid.

"Vice Hall Master Cheng used two Scientific Demon Internal Combustion Engines to spray a pesticide called 'Toxic Spore Insecticide' into the underground of the Tianhuan."

"After the experiment, the soldiers in red armor wore masks and conducted an inspection, and they found at least three thousand dead virtual insects."

The female Xuan Shi stood up with a "swish" and her tone was full of astonishment, "Where are the corpses? Bring one to me!"

The maid immediately complied with the order.

Fifteen minutes later.

Lan Jiayao saw the corpse of the virtual insect.

She saw that the originally green insect was now covered with red pustules, and many areas were ulcerated and oozing a foul-smelling liquid.

The Master Xuan Shi quietly observed for a long time, her expression extremely subtle.

Originally, she had always thought that the Scientific Demon Research Institute was just fooling around.

But from the miserable state of this corpse, her thoughts were completely wrong.

This was clearly something of great use.

What's more, so many virtual insects were killed, and there were no casualties among the soldiers in red armor.

And it was in the spring season, which was not suitable for exterminating insects!

Lan Jiayao waved her hand and ordered, "Get rid of the insects."

"Yes!"

The subordinates immediately carried out the order.

Lan Jiayao watched as the corpse of the insect was dragged away and muttered in a low voice, "So it can kill insects like this, truly eye-opening!"

She added in her heart, "Impressive!"

At this moment.

The Master Xuan Shi no longer had any thoughts of being "bullied" regarding the previous incident of being forced to request craftsmen.

Lan Jiayao was in a great mood and turned to look at the maid, ordering, "Go and inquire again, does the Scientific Demon Research Institute still need manpower and resources?"

"Yes!"

Lan Jiayao waved her hand again, and a rare smile appeared on her beautiful face, "Prepare the Xuan Boat immediately. I want to report this matter to the Palace Master immediately!"

"Yes!"
