Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master - Chapter 1230 - 473: Top-grade Mountain and River Page!
Chapter 1230: Chapter 473: Top-grade Mountain and River Page!
Gu Qing checked everything once more and placed the qualified spirit paper aside, continuing to refine the second batch.
“Brother Gu’s Confucian skill is truly impressive!” Not far away, Bai Jiyun was at another stall, witnessing Gu Qing complete the papermaking process first, and couldn’t help but feel shaken.
The Observing Things and Gaining Knowledge technique best showcases a Confucian Cultivator’s skill.
Gu Qing finished the first batch of refining and immediately started the second batch.
At this time, Bai Jiyun was still investigating the properties and details of various treasures. The speed was incomparable.
Bai Jiyun used his Divine Sense to scan Liu Fushu, seeing he had already started processing the treasures, and couldn’t help showing a bitter smile.
Liu Fushu’s cultivation level was weaker than Bai Jiyun’s, but his basic skills were solid; at least his Observing Things and Gaining Knowledge technique was much stronger than Bai Jiyun’s. Thus, Liu Fushu was progressing faster than Bai Jiyun.
Bai Jiyun usually enjoyed poetry and did not care much about the Observing Things and Gaining Knowledge technique, practicing it very little, now facing the consequences.
Ning Zhuo was situated towards the middle and back.
He handled the materials one by one, with his Divine Sense enveloping or penetrating these treasures, also examining their properties.
But unlike Bai Jiyun, after a few breaths, he ended this process.
The materials were mainly of Earth Element and Water Element; Ning Zhuo’s Five Elements Realm was incredibly deep, allowing him to understand them swiftly.
He then began processing the materials.
This process was very smooth as well. The properties exhibited by the materials were within his understanding range.
Recently, Ning Zhuo’s realm in Artifact Refining had also been promoted.
But his speed slowed down, being much poorer than Bai Jiyun, Liu Fushu, and others, with no way to compare to Gu Qing.
“No way, the papermaking skill taught by Lu Zai involves Confucian Cultivator resources, with Literary Heart, Literary Energy, and Literary Palace all participating.”
“But I don’t have these; I can only borrow.”
The stall continuously provided Literary Energy, and with the array, its size could be adjusted.
The Literary Palace wasn’t available, but the effect of Literary Heart could be simply substituted by cultivators spraying their Essence Blood.
However, the help provided for papermaking was naturally not as good as a true Literary Heart.
When Ning Zhuo completed the first batch of Mountain and River Pages, Liu Fushu just finished the second batch. Gu Qing’s progress was already on the fifth batch.
And most cultivators were still checking or processing materials.
Ding ding ding…
The sound of a bell rang out, reminding all cultivators present that half the time had passed.
Ning Zhuo used his Divine Sense to roughly survey, discovering his position was only slightly above average. Among the leading cultivators, like Gu Qing, the amount of paper produced was already double his.
The thick-haired young man shook his head inwardly, with a bitter smile in his heart: “The advantage of Confucian Cultivators in papermaking is too great. Whether Literary Heart, Literary Palace, or Literary Energy, using them themselves is much more convenient.”
“And not to mention these Confucian Cultivators had more or less refined these spirit papers before.”
“Especially Gu Qing.”
“Given Zhao Hansheng can affect Zhu Fenxiang deeply, Gu Qing must have practiced several rounds before the small match.”
“He came prepared.”
In contrast, many cultivators, including Ning Zhuo, were hearing about the papermaking skill of Mountain and River Pages for the first time. This existing gap led to a significant disparity in papermaking between different levels.
“Can I find a way with quality rather than quantity?” Ning Zhuo pondered.
Elsewhere, Kong Ran had already achieved results.
He produced limited quantities of paper mainly because his cultivation level was only at the Qi Refinement Realm. But the quality of the paper he produced was very high, for a simple reason: he added Official Qi to the paper in the final process.
His father was a high official of Flying Cloud Country, and Kong Ran, as his son, could easily borrow some Official Qi.
Official Qi raised the quality of the Mountain and River Pages by at least one tier.
Gu Qing observed around with his Divine Sense and was relieved.
Although he didn’t have Official Qi available, using Treasure Materials and Royal Soil could also significantly enhance the quality of the Mountain and River Pages.
“This round, I shall be first!”
“Hah, Ning Zhuo really came.”
“Very well, to easily defeat him and create a clear gap would significantly offset the impact of his previous hidden challenge.”
As he thought this, his Divine Sense detected a slight change in Ning Zhuo’s expression.
Immediately, Ning Zhuo, with a look of confusion, took out a Jade Pendant from his Storage Waist Belt.
Roar.
A dragon roar echoed throughout the entire venue.
Immediately, a dragon shadow drilled from the Jade Pendant into the Mountain and River Page.
The next moment, the Mountain and River Page suddenly radiated brilliance, stirring up a wave, causing everyone in the venue to be shocked and curious.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on?”
“Top-grade! A top-grade Mountain and River Page has been refined!!!”
