Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 122: Be busy with your livelihood

It had been raining lightly for two days. The moss on the steps at the door had been shoveled away by the second sister after she slipped two days ago. Now that it had rained for two days, the steps were covered with moss again.

No one comes to visit the house, and the steps are naturally covered with moss.

Inside the house, Zhang Miao was playing with some small parts. There were many connecting rods, gears, slide rails, balls and other items scattered on his desktop.In addition to these, Zhang Miao also had a carving knife, spiritual ink and a drawing drawn by himself in front of him.

Zhang Miao is studying mechanism skills!
Although the mechanism technique is a spell, it is different from ordinary spells that only require chanting and casting. This thing also has a mechanism as an entity.If you don't want a trap, the secret trap technique·Water Dragon Bullet can only be a spell·Water Dragon Bullet. This spell needs to be cast by yourself.But if it cooperates with the mechanism, then the spell can be released by the mechanism, and manpower is liberated.

Any technology that liberates human power is progress.Organism is such an advanced technology.However, if the technology is high, it will naturally be difficult to learn.Therefore, Zhang Miao bought a few classics introducing the art of mechanism and began to study on his own.

It's a pity that there are no people who practice Mechanism Technique here. Otherwise, if Zhang Miao went up to ask for advice, he might be able to activate Zizhu's Mechanism Technique experience.Zizhu doesn't know why, but it has no experience in self-study.Experience must be gained from other people or things.

Fortunately, Zhang Miao was also smart. He relied on the golden page and a few classics on mechanism techniques to figure out something on his own.

Now, relying on the drawings he drew, he began to make a small water dragon armor.The mechanism technique does not require the mechanism to be very precise. It can even be said that the parts can be used.What really works are the runes carved on the mechanism parts.Take the link joint of the mechanism as an example. It only requires two connecting rods engraved with runes to be connected, and then the joint becomes a joint. Under the action of the runes, this joint can move freely up, down, left, and right.

The real core of the mechanism technique is the 'organ center', which is the control center of the mechanism, and all activities are operated through this center.Making this hub is the most difficult.Making a hub requires mastering the knowledge of runes, restrictions, formations, talismans, material refining, material structure and combination, etc.If Zhang Miao hadn't dabbled a bit, he would probably have been stuck at some point.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Miao put down the carving knife in his hand. He looked at the dozen or so parts engraved with runes in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, success or failure depends on this. As long as I assemble it..." Zhang Miao said and began to assemble the dozen parts.In a short time, the mechanism center, which was as big as an egg, was assembled.Then Zhang Miao input his magic power, and the center of the mechanism lit up slightly, and then the internal parts began to click.

The next second, the various connecting rods, gears and armor pieces scattered on the table suddenly flew towards the center of the mechanism, and instantly assembled into a half-body armor.Then, the half-body armor suddenly glowed with water, and a dragon shadow suddenly appeared and got into the half-body armor.

In the blink of an eye, a half-human-tall machine puppet with a dragon's head and a body and a snake's tail appeared on Zhang Miao's desk.

"This is... done!" Zhang Miao's face was filled with joy, and then he issued an order: "Water Dragon Warrior, attack!"

The armored warrior with the head of a dragon and the body of a snake immediately responded. A dozen suspended water balls appeared around him, and then these water balls flew outside and hit the rockery in the yard instantly.

There was only a "crackling" sound, and the rockery was riddled with holes by more than a dozen water balls. Before it could last more than ten breaths, the rockery was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

"What a powerful force!" Zhang Miao showed a satisfied look.This water dragon armor is just his trial work. The materials used are not good, and the core is not top-notch.But it was really beyond his expectation that this beggar's version could be so powerful.

"It seems that this secret technique is indeed very powerful." Zhang Miao thought in his mind.

After the Water Dragon Armor destroyed the rockery, it also fell into dormancy due to exhaustion of mana.This kind of mechanism puppet needs to consume the master's mana. If the master does not replenish the mana, then it will automatically stop.Of course, you can also use spirit stones to drive it, but that will consume a lot of money.

The success of the trial work made Zhang Miao very satisfied.With this successful experience, he can buy better materials, spend more time, and make better water dragon armor.

The real water dragon armor follows its master and acts like a fort, constantly firing water balls at the enemy.And this kind of water polo is not an ordinary water polo. Depending on the output, the Water Dragon Armor can launch nine kinds of water polo from one yuan of heavy water to nine yuan of heavy water. One yuan of heavy water is the lightest, only three times as heavy as ordinary water.Nine-yuan heavy water is the heaviest, 27 times heavier than ordinary water.You know, ordinary gold is nineteen times heavier than water.

A few days later, Zhang Miao appeared at the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce in Qingshui Town.

The young steward of the Chamber of Commerce took the list given by Zhang Miao and calculated it, and then said: "Fellow Taoist, what you need requires eighty-nine thousand six hundred spirit stones. It is my decision to erase the fraction of the six hundred spirit stones. You need to give me eighty-nine thousand spirit stones."

"How much?!" Zhang Miao's eyes widened when she heard the price. "Eighty-nine thousand spirit stones." The little steward also said with certainty: "Don't worry, we won't cheat you. You can rest assured about the reputation of the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce. The main reason is that some of the materials you need are very expensive, such as The star-spotted purple dragon wood you need, one pound of this thing requires eight hundred spirit stones, and you need twenty pounds. There are also gray mercury and Haotong purple gold, which are all valuable. There are some things I still need to get The headquarters is transferring goods, and I haven’t even counted the traveling expenses back and forth..."

The little steward followed Zhang Miao's calculations step by step. Zhang Miao nodded helplessly while listening.The stuff is right, and there’s nothing wrong with it being expensive.The real problem is with him, and his biggest problem is that he is poor.

I thought there were [-] spirit stones and many treasures.Zhang Miao thought she was quite rich, but when it came to actually spending it, that was not the same thing at all.These rare materials are so expensive! !
But if these precious materials are not used, the mechanical water dragon armor produced will not be the best.If it's not the best water dragon armor, then what's the point of making it?It's like the best tank, with the best turret, engine, and fire control, but the armor is made of wooden boards. Isn't this torture?

For a mechanism, what raises the upper limit is naturally all kinds of precious materials, and what lowers the upper limit is naturally the worst materials!

Zhang Miao held back his heartache, nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I still believe in the credibility of the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce. How long will it take for the goods to arrive?"

"If fellow Taoist pays a deposit of [-] spiritual stones, the goods will arrive in ten days. If fellow Taoist is in a hurry and is willing to pay an additional [-] spiritual stones for expediting, I can guarantee that the goods will arrive within three days."

Hearing what the young butler said, Zhang Miao smiled and said, "I'm not in that hurry. In that case, I'll pick up the goods in ten days."

He heartbrokenly handed over a deposit of [-] spirit stones.The two parties made a contract, and then Zhang Miao left the chamber of commerce.

I returned home with mixed emotions. As soon as I walked in, I heard my second sister shouting happily: "Brother, the little centipedes have hatched. There is one with six bulges."

Hearing the second sister's cry, Zhang Miao quickly went up to take a look.In the chubby little hands of the second sister, a small white juvenile centipede was lying quietly in the palm of her hand. There were six slight protrusions on the back of this centipede, which are exactly the six wings of the six-winged purple golden centipede. A wing bun.

Seeing this, Zhang Miao was very happy.After so long breeding, the six-winged purple golden centipede was finally produced!At this time, the six-winged purple golden centipede is still very small, and this centipede is much larger than ordinary centipedes. It is also a high-level spiritual insect among spiritual insects and is eligible to be promoted to the golden elixir realm.

Although this insect has been cultivated, it is not surprising to cultivate it into a golden elixir stage insect, which can take as little as more than 100 years and as long as two or three hundred years.If it is not raised well and it is raised to the end of its life without being promoted to the golden elixir stage, this kind of thing will happen.

This insect is qualified to reach the Golden Core stage, but it does not necessarily grow to the Golden Core stage.The beasts that will definitely grow to the golden elixir stage must be the beasts of heaven and earth, such as turtles and cranes.

Zhang Miao carefully collected the bug, and then said: "I will raise this bug myself from now on." He wanted to see if he could get the experience of the Golden Spirit Root from this bug!
In fact, he got a little experience with the golden spirit root that night.After feeding the little centipede with food and the Five Poison Divine Sand, Zhang Miao gained some experience with the Golden Spiritual Root in the evening, allowing Zizhu to officially open the bamboo knot representing the Golden Spiritual Root.

Zhang Miao was very happy to get this experience, which meant that his idea was correct.This treasure can indeed replenish his final spiritual roots.

The only problem now is that this baby gives him too little spiritual root experience.I don’t know if I will be given more when I am older.However, his plan to raise centipedes has not stopped, and he will continue to raise them, waiting for more six-winged purple gold centipedes to appear.

The opening of the golden spirit root made Zhang Miao's depressed heart feel better.The deeper you practice and the more things you practice, the more resources you consume and the cost becomes greater.

I thought I could cultivate for a long time with Situ Liang's gift, but I didn't expect that I would suddenly fall back into poverty.There are not tens of thousands of spiritual stones in this spiritual stone bag, so I can't practice at night.

It's better to find something to do and earn some spiritual stones.You can't just sit back and rest in vain.

Zhang Miao thought for a while and realized that he could actually make money by drawing talismans or making money by forming formations. These were both popular crafts, and he could earn a living and make a small fortune wherever he went.Relying on this kind of craftsmanship, it is more difficult to become rich, but it is definitely possible to be small.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Miao decided to go to a store tomorrow and start selling talismans and formation disks.There are several shops in Qingshui Town that sell talismans, but there are none that sell arrays.If people here want the array, they must go to Canglan City to buy it, or place an order at the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce.If he could open a small shop that dealt with both formations and talismans, he felt that business would be easy.
