Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 846: Chapter 84 Messages

The difficulty in crafting this time lies in how to stitch the two together.

The Xuanwu shell provides energy, while the Jiaolong scales are responsible for output; both are indispensable. However, the problem is how to link the two without any issues, especially since this artifact is to be used for Transcending Heavenly Tribulation.

Luo Yan thought carefully for a long time, finally deciding to just make a dual-sided mirror.

Carve an appropriately sized hole in the back of the Xuanwu shell, then embed the Jiaolong scales into it, and finally recombine the Runic Scripts of the two…

Is that even possible?

By using the scan function to recheck the Array structures inside both, it becomes evident that they are almost entirely different. To combine them seamlessly is like embedding a phone into a computer, then trying to make a call through the computer… It’s not impossible, but certainly not simple.

He pensively sketched and scribbled on paper, while Shi Liuli sat quietly beside him watching, suddenly asking:

“Since you are trying to merge the two into one, why not add an intermediary part?”

The so-called intermediary part is like a “converter plug” structure, generally used to connect two different Magical Treasures and is a somewhat obscure and niche method in artifact forging.

Why niche? Because the resulting Magical Treasure ends up hideously ugly, similar to the monster from the Cloud Dream Marsh Country, where the dragon doesn’t look like a dragon, and the turtle doesn’t look like a turtle, making one want to vomit upon seeing it.

Such a Magical Treasure, even if it meets the client’s requirements, would still disgrace an Artifact Refiner’s reputation…

Hmm?

Luo Yan suddenly realized something, these two Magical Treasures originally came from the Xuanwu statue.

Could the Xuanwu statue itself originally be an intermediary part, designed to connect these Xuanwu shell pieces and Jiaolong scales?

Thinking this, Luo Yan finally had a moment of clarity.

If an intermediary part is to be used for connection, the final product will inevitably be bulky and crude, not much smaller than the original Xuanwu statue.

Whether it’s a Flying Sword, mirror, Dharma Seal… most Magical Treasures must be lightweight, otherwise they move too sluggishly in flight, missing their targets, not to mention other consequences.

However, there’s a type of Magical Treasure that doesn’t need to be moved once set up.

Cauldron Vessel.

What if the Jiaolong scales and Xuanwu shell pieces were crafted into a corresponding Array Cauldron Vessel? Since the Heavenly Tribulation won’t move either, just place the Cauldron Vessel on the ground when the time comes; it doesn’t matter how heavy it is.

Abandoning the original idea of making a mirror, Luo Yan suddenly had a complete change of approaches, deciding not to consider various limitations, wanting the functions to be comprehensive and the effects to be powerful. Of course, the most important thing is to be sufficiently resilient, not letting the Heavenly Tribulation smash it with a single strike.

Sketching and smearing away, Luo Yan concentrated on his work, while Shi Liuli, glancing over, thought to herself, is her husband drawing a… fortress?

What’s happening, planning to completely overhaul Heavenly Craft Workshop?

Wrong, from her husband’s design, the defensive and retaliatory features are almost crying out to be noticed. Heavenly Craft Workshop, situated inside Penglai Jade Pure View, doesn’t need so much individual defense design. These installations clearly aren’t portable, so what situation requires building such an immovable fortress?

A flash of Spiritual Light crossed Shi Liuli’s mind.

Transcending Tribulation…

Husband, has he already started preparing for the tribulation?

Still not right. With his lazy nature, even unwilling to handle affairs of Heavenly Craft Workshop, how could he possibly prepare specifically for an impending Heavenly Tribulation?

Unless he plans to transcend the tribulation soon!

Through a series of guesses and deductions, Shi Liuli felt she was very close to the truth, yet suddenly felt a bit lost and uneasy.

So, is the husband going to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator soon?

Well, since he’s reluctant to mention it to me, it must be because he’s afraid that I’ll worry and feel anxious.

I must also quickly enhance my cultivation level and not hold back my husband.

Thinking that the Heavenly Craft Workshop could finally have a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Shi Liuli was somewhat thrilled. She decided to push off the work for the next few months, planning to concentrate on improving her cultivation progress.

Of course, maintaining a steady routine and grinding out the practice, expecting a quick upgrade would be delusional. Searching for a secret realm and seeking lucky encounters is the right way.

………

Luo Yan took a few days to design a rough outline.

Just as he intended to refine it further, he suddenly heard his junior sister apprentice Shi Qing seeking an audience outside.

“Something terrible has happened, Brother Jingyun!” she called out in panic from outside the door, “There’s a mountain of tasks piling up in the workshop, Third Sister can’t handle them and is almost going insane!”

Unaware of the reason, Luo Yan followed Shi Qing and came to the back hall of Heavenly Craft Workshop.

Only then did he learn that, for some reason, Shi Liuli had taken leave a few days ago and left the workshop tasks in the hands of Third Sister Liang Ruohua temporarily.

Normally, Shi Liuli would do the same but would return the next day or the day after. However, she had not returned for several days now. Liang Ruohua, not being very familiar with many tasks, had gotten overwhelmed as work kept piling up, requiring Luo Yan to come back to save the situation.

Luo Yan was also puzzled, wondering where on earth his wife had run off to?

Forget it, she has great fortune and is protected by Art Calculation; she most likely won’t encounter any problems.

As for these tasks, it looks like I have to take over.

“What are all these tasks?” he casually picked up the documents for approval from the desk.

“Business accounting statistics, sales transactions handover, maintenance of material supplies, and some daily tasks assigned by the Sect,” Liang Ruohua pointed to the documents piled up like a mountain on the desk, “That’s about it.”

Luo Yan: …………

“I’ll go bring Liuli back,” he said helplessly supporting his forehead.

Leaving Yuqing View, Luo Yan began to worry again.

She left without saying a word; where am I supposed to start looking?

“Ah Jing, where do you think Liuli could have gone?” Luo Yan unconsciously asked the Kunlun Mirror.

“I don’t know,” the Kunlun Mirror replied shaking, “but with her personality, it’s unlikely that she would leave without notice. She should have left a message telling you where she went.”

“That’s true,” Luo Yan pondered for a moment, then ran to the gate of Yuqing View, found the gatekeeper White Jade Puppet Nian Nu, and asked, “Did you see when Dong You left Penglai?”

“Dong You left a message for you,” Nian Nu answered. “She went to Yuling Island to explore a secret realm.”

“Oh?” Luo Yan asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter earlier?”

“Dong You specifically instructed,” Nian Nu continued, “If you actively ask about her whereabouts, Nian Nu will respond truthfully; if not asked, then do not mention it.”

Luo Yan was left speechless, after a while he said:

“Was it arranged like this every time she left before?”

“So far, Dong You has left 33 times, leaving a message about her specific whereabouts,” Nian Nu answered. “You have never asked in 32 instances.”

Luo Yan was silent for a long time, then said:

“Do not tell Dong You about this matter, and if she asks… say that I asked every time.”
