please leave and let me finish the creation myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Ni spoke, he picked up a lump of clay, cut it with a wooden knife, and then carefully passed the piece of clay to Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng knew that allowing him to work directly with this precious clay indicated that Li Ni had high expectations of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you feel I’m not helpful, it’s only right to ask me to leave,” Bai Xiaosheng took the clay and placed it on the table in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lump of clay was heavy in his hands, its surface smooth and polished, hardly resembling mud at all but more like a naturally perfect treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Red Lotus, retrieve the purple clay teapot crafting techniques, assist operation, increase adrenaline, enhance my reaction…” Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t facing an opponent but was instead crafting an item, yet he used such comprehensive and high-level assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one had to compare it to a combat situation, the level of assistance would be akin to engaging in a life-or-death battle with Lei Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, what was before him now was just a lump of clay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Master!” Red Lotus promptly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, Bai Xiaosheng felt a difference; everything before his eyes became incredibly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even see the delicate grain of the table, his mind was clear and unclouded by drowsiness or distractions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng even felt as though time was slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even sense and keep pace with Li Ni’s subtle breathing across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but a vast amount of information about teapot crafting flooded Bai Xiaosheng’s mind as if he himself had crafted with his own hands countless times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s hands even began to itch slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this happened in a mere dozen seconds or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ni watched Bai Xiaosheng closely, and even he seemed somewhat astonished at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, Bai Xiaosheng was still Bai Xiaosheng, the person the same, but the aura he emitted was strikingly different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ni even felt as if he was in the presence of an elder craftsman from his family who had passed away, one who had honed their craft over a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this still Bai Xiaosheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He…” Li Ni marveled in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng had already started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first step in making a teapot was to process the clay into flattened pieces or strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng began with the strips, using a wood “mallet” which had been worn smooth and darkened by the hands of old craftsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tool was traditionally called a “Mallet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shape was that of a log split into two at the center, with half of it fitted with a long wooden handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “striking surface” was slightly convex in the center, dipping towards the edges, smooth and fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng executed the movements fluidly, unhurriedly applying force with the mallet with unparalleled evenness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To others, it was just ordinary kneading of clay strips, simple and straightforward, with no complex techniques or difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Li Ni, it was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The simpler the task, the more it reveals true skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonardo da Vinci, cited in elementary textbooks as “the perfect representative of the Renaissance,” supposedly spent years drawing eggs, honing his basics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the story’s authenticity, it reflects a truth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most basic and simplest of foundation exercises are what distinguish a master from an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ni silently observed Bai Xiaosheng knead the clay strips and pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he had only one thing to say, “The clay here is half yours and half mine; let’s craft the teapot together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the highest form of recognition from Li Ni!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ni also nodded at him, then went back to his own work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Bai Xiaosheng’s operations were flowing like clouds and water, and his fundamentals matched Li Ni, he did not rush to continue but instead observed Li Ni’s operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng certainly did not think that just because he could craft smoothly and match Li Ni in the basics, that teapot making “wasn’t difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-05T17:43:04.448Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc0194fd470c1475cc262a3651d7ea036462bc283c75f5e4b030c57d82dde227","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1328","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1326",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
