Chapter 23: Spirit Bamboo

Satisfy... a wish!

As soon as this was said, the Pine-Needle Mouse, which had been uninterested and sleepy the whole time, suddenly opened its eyes wide.

It had never been interested in the so-called Mechanical Art reward, feeling it was not as good as spirit stones.

But hearing Elder Yu say this, the Pine-Needle Mouse was immediately excited.

Asking for a storage bag shouldn't be considered an unreasonable wish, right?

Lin Jing didn't know if he was interested in learning Mechanical Art, but the Pine-Needle Mouse had an urge to manufacture a mechanical beast with its own hands.

Not for anything else, just to make a wish.

Elder Yu's move can be called the strongest open conspiracy.

Even Lin Jing, who had always been emotionally stable, raised his head slightly and looked at Elder Yu seriously, as if wanting to verify if the other party's words... were true.

"Elder, is it really okay to have any wish that is not unreasonable?" He hesitated and asked.

"Of course."

"Elder, we have indeed encountered some problems, but within your duties, it should be solvable..."

"What is it?"

Just when the Pine-Needle Mouse thought Lin Jing was finally going to ask for a storage bag for it, Lin Jing communicated with it mentally.

[Storage bags are easy to buy, but the opportunity to make a wish to an outer sect elder is rare!]

The Pine-Needle Mouse was stunned.

Lin Jing cupped his hands: "Elder, since the disciple and the Pine-Needle Mouse entered the sect, because we have a large appetite, we haven't had a full meal, and we have never experienced the cafeteria. If we can successfully manufacture a mechanical beast, can we... eat for free in the outer sect cafeteria forever?"

Pine-Needle Mouse: "!!!"

"Hmm???" Elder Yu thought it was some big deal. He laughed, stroked his beard, and said: "This kind of small matter is naturally no problem. There will always be some leftovers from the cafeteria's food every day. Originally, the leftovers would be distributed to the spirit beasts and demon beasts raised by the sect, it's just two more mouths."

Elder Yu sighed, fortunately, the outer sect disciples have little knowledge, and the request is not unreasonable.

"Thank you, Elder! After we go back, we will definitely learn Mechanical Art with undivided attention!"

And facing Lin Jing's wish, although the Pine-Needle Mouse still wanted a storage bag, it really couldn't find any fault with this wish.

After all... they have golden spirit rice to whet their appetite, and the food intake of one person and one mouse a day is enough for ten people.

If there is a place where you can eat very nutritious food for free, then over time, the saved resource money and food expenses would be enough to buy several storage bags.

The Pine-Needle Mouse counted with its fingers, and then looked at Elder Yu silently.

"Good." At this moment, Elder Yu hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem. He said: "But don't force it. In the way of Mechanical Art, you still have to love it to go further."

"Actually, as a beast taming cultivator, it's not bad to practice a mechanical skill as a supplement."

"Mechanical beasts are also beasts. Compared to contracted pet beasts that are like friends and relatives, they have no life and can often perform more dangerous tasks for beast tamers, for example... testing formations, exploring dangerous places."

"You have been in the sect for a while. I don't know if you have any interest in other skills besides beast taming?" Elder Yu... intended to slowly cultivate Lin Jing's interest in Mechanical Art.

"Reporting to Elder..." Lin Jing said honestly: "The disciple wants to learn alchemy later, and has been memorizing the effects of plants recently."

"Alchemy..." Elder Yu was speechless. Is it vulgar? It's alchemy again, and weapon refining again. How is Mechanical Art not interesting.

He said: "Alchemy... is not easy. The most important thing is that it is boring. Just the foundation before learning alchemy requires rote memorization of the effects of tens of thousands of plants."

"Yes, just remembering these took me a long time." Lin Jing sighed, as if he had returned to the time when he was rolling in the college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, and civil service examination in his previous life.

He suspected that his terminal illness in terms of his brain was caused by the death of too many brain cells rolling these things.

He passed the exam, but the person was also ruined.

Elder Yu: ?

"Have you memorized the entire content of the Outer Sect Plant Collection?" Elder Yu suspected he had misheard something.

How long has Lin Jing been in the sect? This kind of large and complex information can only be memorized bit by bit by Qi Refining cultivators. Jade slips cannot be instilled, otherwise, it will explode the brain.

"Yes." Lin Jing nodded. He did find that his memory had improved after crossing over, and after practicing cultivation, this feeling was even more obvious. Combined with the Spirit-Nourishing Technique that relieves fatigue, memorizing books was not difficult.

"What is the medicinal effect of Ye Linglong?" Elder Yu asked.

"Regulates qi and stops pain, is one of the core medicinal materials for refining pills for diseases caused by true qi disorder."

"Seven-Star Chrysanthemum."

"Warms yang and removes cold, is for refining..."

"Spirit bamboo juice!" He pointed to the spirit bamboo pile.

"Calms the mind and wakes the spirit, is an auxiliary material for refining Clear Spirit Pills..."

Elder Yu was speechless. He originally wanted to persuade Lin Jing to give up learning alchemy, but now he didn't know what to say.

Fine, this Longevity Body is so smart, I think learning another Mechanical Art won't be difficult! If you can learn, learn more!

After Elder Yu threw the remaining spirit bamboo to Lin Jing and them, he didn't care anymore.

The evil he created can only be borne by himself. Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Mouse laboriously moved the numerous spirit bamboo back to the courtyard.

Although they could find a disciple who contracted a horned ox to transport it, they thought it was better to forget it when they thought about having to pay for hiring.

Not long after, the spirit bamboo was transferred from the Mechanical Workshop to Lin Jing's courtyard.

Looking at this pile of spirit bamboo, Lin Jing touched his chin. This time, for the permanent free dining voucher of the outer sect cafeteria, he had to work hard to get started with Mechanical Art.

"Speaking of which." Lin Jing looked at this pile of spirit bamboo and suddenly remembered something.

"When I was in the bamboo forest, looking at a pile of spirit bamboo, I wanted you to synthesize it with the Glazed Immortal Pupils, but at that time, just harvesting the spirit bamboo consumed all your strength."

"Now, are you interested in trying? This thing can also be considered a plant."

"Zhi?" The Pine-Needle Mouse jumped off Lin Jing's shoulder and looked at him. Not making mechanical materials?

"It's just spirit bamboo, if it's gone, just go buy it again." Lin Jing said, this is not a rare resource.

Hearing this, the Pine-Needle Mouse turned around in place, thought about it, and felt it was right, so it looked at the spirit bamboo pile with the Glazed Immortal Pupils, wanting to see if it had any effect...

Suddenly!

Emerald light shot out from its eyes.

...The divine power of the Glazed Immortal Pupils instantly enveloped ten of the emerald green spirit bamboo.

Seems possible!

The next instant, ten spirit bamboo, under the cover of emerald light, slowly... synthesized into a small blue spirit bamboo!

"Zhi..." At the same time, the Pine-Needle Mouse covered its eyes and let out an "ao" sound, only feeling that this synthesis consumed much, much more pupil power than synthesizing spirit rice and spirit beans, and its eyes seemed to be overused.

However, although painful, the Pine-Needle Mouse still urged Lin Jing to quickly look at the effect of the blue spirit bamboo.

Hearing this, Lin Jing carefully picked up the blue spirit bamboo. With the Black Bear Monster's previous example, he didn't dare to use too much force.

"Hmm?" Who knew, just as Lin Jing picked it up, a crystal clear juice flowed out from one end of the spirit bamboo.

This reminded Lin Jing of the question Elder Yu asked him before.

"Spirit bamboo juice? Spirit bamboo juice needs to receive the rain and dew of heaven and earth, absorb the spiritual energy of the sun and moon, and bathe in wind, rain, thunder, and lightning to be born in the growing spirit bamboo. These harvested spirit bamboo have long lost the possibility of giving birth to spirit bamboo juice. Could it be that the effect of the blue spirit bamboo is the natural birth of spirit bamboo juice?"

Lin Jing analyzed it. Who knew that the pressure inside the spirit bamboo was getting higher and higher, "boom," and a high-pressure water stream sprayed out from the bamboo, instantly blasting a big hole in the wall. This is not spirit bamboo juice... it's a high-pressure water pipe! Lin Jing was directly pushed into the air by the reaction force of the water cannon sprayed by the bamboo, flew backward, smashed into the house, and his body and hands were trembling. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
