"This is going to be tricky now."
Zhou Xuan took Sister Cui and Alchemist Bai Lu as "points," walking in a figure-eight around them, watching the two as he walked.
His gaze was rather intimidating, making Sister Cui and the Alchemist Bai Lu feel uneasy. After pondering for a while, Alchemist Bai Lu finally asked the others, "This big mister of yours doesn’t eat people, does he?"
"Just stand still. When my young master is thinking, he likes to pace," Little Fuzi advised.
"The furnace maker’s craftsmanship is superb; the designer’s designs are incredibly ingenious, yet the two can’t communicate? This matter..."
Zhou Xuan thought over and over, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. "That’s right! Little Brain, how could I forget it?"
He clapped his hands suddenly and shouted, "Little Brain, co out."
A silver-gray "walnut" popped out and imdiately shouted in a thunderous voice, "Master! Here!"
The shout made Zhou Xuan shiver. He asked, "Little Brain, what did you do? You’re so spirited, even shouting like this."
"Master, it’s just those nine incense blood rollers. After eating them, my back doesn’t ache, my legs don’t hurt, and I have the energy to scold Big Child and Third Child."
"You gobble up and then scold Big Child and Third Child? I’ve told you, don’t do things that harm unity. Co over and take a look at these drawings for ."
Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle and took the blueprints to show "Little Brain."
Little Brain has quite the background, created by the "research monks" of the Buddha Country, emulating the master brain of the Blood Flesh Divine Dynasty.
This Little Brain’s mind is like a supercomputer cramd inside; for sothing like "engineering drawings," understanding it is much easier than "scolding Big Child and Third Child."
He only needed a glance before saying, "Master, I’ve understood it."
"Do you think I don’t know you understood it?"
Zhou Xuan patted the store’s counter, pointing to that miniature house,
"See this house model? Learn from it and project a three-dinsional holographic image of the furnace on this drawing for . It has to be exactly the sa as on the blueprint."
"Leave it to , Master. Ladies and gentlen, today Little Brain will show you a true work of art." Little Brain was all talk before even starting.
"..." Zhou Xuan.
Now Zhou Xuan is headache-prone when he hears the word "art," for Little Brain’s art loves adding things into the images,
For example, even though the wall is clearly white, for the so-called "artistic tension," he insists on painting it blood-red in the image. According to him, it’s to create a sense of urgency.
For usual matters, he can add as he pleases, as long as he’s happy, but this Elixir Furnace, if "decorated with unnecessary details," and Sister Cui builds accordingly,
It would result in an "artistic furnace," sure to explode during alchemy.
He imdiately coughed and said, "Little Brain, I need to correct your concept of art. Tension is one form of art, but absolute accuracy and precision are also forms of art, aren’t they?"
Little Brain listened and genuinely pondered, saying, "Master, you’re right, that makes sense."
"I’m glad it does. Get to work."
Zhou Xuan was quite pleased; this Little Brain still holds potential.
Upon receiving the command, Little Brain’s body sprouted pores, each emitting a beam of light that converged without diffusing, forming an "Elixir Furnace Light Image" with nearly real texture in front of Sister Cui.
The furnace was lidless, allowing a clear view of its internal structure from above.
Sister Cui looked down carefully, keeping it in mind. Being from the Fox Clan, she was naturally smart, and having an actual object made it easier for her to understand.
"This ti I’ve got it."
Sister Cui said as she examined it even more ticulously,
Nearby, Alchemist Bai Lu watched in awe, saying, "This Little Brain, usually such a provocative little thing, actually serves such a great purpose,
If I had this thing back in the day, no matter how dull my apprentices, I could’ve educated them well."
"Lao Bai, tis have changed."
Zhou Xuan cheerfully patted Alchemist Bai Lu’s shoulder, saying, "You must keep up with the tis; go check the parts in this holographic projection, see if all the dinsions are correct."
"No need to check; my eye is the ruler."
Alchemist Bai Lu said confidently.
"Hmm, then when the furnace explodes, my eye will be the knife..." Zhou Xuan’s gaze suddenly turned cold.
"..." Alchemist Bai Lu.
Alchemist Bai Lu seed to recall sothing and said, "I rembered now, my master used to say never to take anything lightly. Where do most accidents happen? In the most unexpected places."
He hurried to the light-image furnace, inch by inch, inspecting it until he was sweating profusely, and finally stopped to say to Zhou Xuan, "Great Master, I’ve finished checking it. It’s particularly accurate."
"That’s good."
Zhou Xuan was now waiting for Sister Cui to fully understand the structure of the furnace. He went to the back kitchen and boiled a large pot of water, serving tea to everyone in the room; they leisurely sipped it,
Finally, Sister Cui stated she’d seen enough and wanted to go out and buy so bricks and stones.
She could control earth and stones, but she shouldn’t tear down Zhou Xuan’s shop to build the furnace.
"Sister Cui, just rest; I’ll go buy them."
Little Fuzi was also energetic. Having heard that Zhou Xuan’s elixir could save Hua Zi, he, being Hua Zi’s best friend, was as excited as Sister Cui.
But having worked in dostic affairs for so long, his personality had beco sowhat reserved, especially with so many guests present; he found it inappropriate to appear overly excited.
