Chapter 87 Improving Quality and Quantity
Wenwen only had time to shout, "Get out of here!"
She scooped up Xianbao and Aying beside her, turned around, and tumbled down the hillside.
As she rolled downhill, the short grass on the hillside was pressed close to the ground, and the thick grass provided her with a lot of cushioning.
A huge explosion resounded across the hillside, sending a mushroom cloud soaring into the sky.
Wenwen lay on the grass, calmly looking ahead.
I've tested this before and seen this kind of scene before.
The power of this explosion was no less than that of the previous ones.
Fortunately, the space could withstand it, otherwise I really don't know where to conduct experiments.
Once the ashes had settled, Wenwen called to her companions, "Let's go up and take a look."
The three of them, master and servant, rushed upwards in a flash.
Of course, Wenwen definitely used the "Shedding Shell Technique," seizing every opportunity to practice intensely, truly embodying the spirit of his father and second uncle.
Upon reaching the platform, we saw that the depression had turned into a large pit, with broken tiles scattered all around.
Xianbao belatedly realized, "Master, now I know why you weren't brewing medicine in the courtyard."
"Right? Look at this power, it can blow up the whole courtyard in one go."
Aying shook her head, looking at the pit and then at Wenwen, bouncing around as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Master, if we use this like this, an explosion is inevitable?"
Xianbao was furious when she heard this, "You're such a know-it-all, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Upon hearing this, Wenwen perked up, "You know this can explode? You recognize it?"
Aying flapped its crippled wings a few times, fiddled with the feathers at the tips of its wings, and said in a serious tone.
"Master, this herb will explode no matter how you use it here; it will only truly thrive when used in that specific location."
"Hmm? Can't we add some tiger whiskers here? Even just a tiny bit would be fine."
"Well, it can, but it's quite wasteful of pottery. It'll 'bang' as soon as you use it, you know, just like here."
"Ah? What should we do?"
Seeing its owner so worried, Xianbao asked, "Yes, what should we do?"
"If you really have to use it, it's not impossible. Just add a small amount to improve the quality and quantity of the earthenware pots."
"Ahem, ahem, quality and quantity, your suggestion is very insightful."
Wenwen had to give Aying a thumbs up.
"That's all we can do for now. In that case, could you help me find some broken tiles?"
After rummaging through the low grass, I actually found a few things. This time the earthenware pot was a little bigger than the last one, but only a little bigger. Unfortunately, I didn't find any semi-finished products.
Wenwen wasn't bothered. If it didn't work this time, there would be another time. She could try again, since she had enough raw materials anyway.
Full of energy, Wenwen made the second, third, fourth... all the way to the seventh can before she finally got a few decent pieces of broken tile. After boiling them, she estimated that there would be about seven or eight candies.
Xianbao didn't have that patience; he would have already run far away chasing the butterfly.
Ah Ying stayed with us from beginning to end. She didn't say much, but she helped find the tiles, which was quite an achievement.
After watching Wenwen busy for a long time, it thought for a moment and then spoke up.
"Master, I suggest you set aside time each day to practice the 'Breathing and Qi Refining Technique.' This is the first step in all your future plans. Only by taking this first step steadily and solidly can you have more choices and more possibilities. What do you say?"
Wenwen was pondering about Tangdou when she suddenly heard a profound and wise admonition. A sense of guilt welled up in her heart; she realized she still hadn't gotten into character.
"Ah Ying, you need to remind me more often and urge me on more in the future."
"Then I will urge you every day from now on, Master. You won't find me annoying, will you?"
"Of course not! I'm too grateful to thank you!"
"Alright, Master is right here. Take out your books and start reciting."
"Uh."
Wenwen!
Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?
Ah Ying stood upright, her wings tucked between her body, her two beady green eyes staring at Wen Wen with a serious expression.
For some reason, Ah Ying's appearance reminded him of Master Zhou.
Okay, there's one teacher here and one teacher outside. She's a student who needs the teacher's supervision.
Wenwen took out her books, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to concentrate.
This book is actually not thick. I have already consulted the teacher about the few characters I did not recognize, and now I can read the whole book without any problems.
Wenwen read it through several times and tried to memorize it using her own methods, but she would make mistakes at crucial moments and couldn't get it right no matter what she did. She went back and forth several times, which made her a little frustrated and discouraged.
"Master, please be patient. Nothing should be rushed, for excess is as bad as deficiency."
Since ancient times, a weathered voice has always had a soothing effect.
Okay, she was just too eager for quick success.
Trying to improve with a different book is always an option.
Without further ado, Wenwen took out all the other books she wanted to read.
After finishing this one, I'll move on to another.
In short, I try to find ways to avoid getting stuck in a vicious cycle.
I was getting into the swing of things when I started reading.
Wenwen closed her eyes and focused on reciting the Qi Refining Technique.
He completed the first round of memorization with great difficulty, speaking slowly and haltingly, word by word.
"Alas, everything is difficult at the beginning; the ancients were right."
"Congratulations, Master, you have successfully taken the first step."
Wenwen's lips twitched.
What's there to congratulate? You're not a three-year-old.
Of course, you can't say it like that. No matter how unpleasant it is, you can't spoil the mood.
"Congratulations to you both! We need more encouragement from Aying!"
"It's easy to talk about."
The master and servant got along well.
Wenwen, always eager to press her advantage, continued reciting the text intermittently while the momentum was still strong.
"The energy of heaven and earth originates from all things, and the energy of all things exists within themselves..."
Wenwen didn't stop until her head started spinning again.
"Phew, at least I've made some progress."
"Ah Ying, let's take a walk around this mountain."
"Row."
Ah Ying readily agreed; she had no choice but to agree, for her master was about to get annoyed again. She couldn't push him too hard, or he might just quit.
Wenwen got the answer and took off running.
Just like children rushing out of the classroom as soon as the school bell rings, they run as far as the wind can carry them.
Aying sighed behind, using her crippled wings to keep up.
Wenwen ran like a whirlwind, covering a long distance with all her might, before finally stopping when she was exhausted.
As I strolled along, I looked around and saw that this barren mountain was both taller and larger than the other two.
The road was covered with grass, which was soft and comfortable to walk on.
"I wonder if it's this comfortable to lie down?"
Actions always outpace thinking.
The thought had barely formed when my body collapsed first.
"It's still pretty good, but it's too short. Otherwise, it would be great to weave it into a straw mat."
"Ah Ying, don't you think so?"
Ah Ying!
The owner really dares to think outside the box.
"That's what the master said."
The two chatted idly, exchanging a few words here and there.
Casual remarks do not require every sentence to be responded to or echoed.
Feeling the soft sensation beneath her, Wenwen was a little dazed, in a state between dreaming and waking.
Suddenly, I heard a few sharp "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds.
