Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 441 - 343: Legend of the Investiture of the Gods
Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, Miaoyin Zhenren’s eyes immediately lit up.
"You have other books?"
If it were other books, Zhao Yi might not remember the basics, but he had indeed read many of those ancient classics.
Hearing Miaoyin Zhenren’s words, Zhao Yi immediately said, "Yes, similar to ’Journey to the West,’ I also found that book in my memory of the Otherworld. Since ’Journey to the West’ can’t be used, I’ll just go and transcribe that book!"
Miaoyin Zhenren was immediately dissatisfied upon hearing that there really was a new book. She said, "I previously asked you if there were any other things from the Otherworld, and you firmly told me there were none. Yet, in the past few days, so many good things have appeared. You’ve been hiding treasures all along; it’s really too thoughtless of you."
Zhao Yi sighed and said helplessly, "You also didn’t see the current situation. Just transcribing ’Journey to the West’ almost used up all the white paper stored in the Xuanzhen Temple."
"The word count of ’The Investiture of the Gods’ is similar to ’Journey to the West,’ and it will consume a lot of paper again."
"Moreover, these books, apart from providing amusement, have no practical value at all. They are much less useful than those textbooks from the Otherworld, and there’s absolutely no need to transcribe them!"
Miaoyin Zhenren nodded upon hearing this and said, "You make a good point; I failed to consider it thoroughly this time. But the problem of paper-making will soon be solved. I’ve combined the papermaking technique recorded in Otherworld books with the arrays of the Cultivation World, and created a production line like you mentioned. It has already passed the testing phase, and it won’t be long before we can start mass-producing paper."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi was greatly surprised: "So soon? Didn’t you say it would take at least a few more months?"
Miaoyin Zhenren laughed and explained, "We found a new material, which is more convenient than the flax recorded from the Otherworld, but extremely efficient. Moreover, its growth cycle is only one-third that of flax, so production speed has greatly accelerated."
After mastering the knowledge system of Blue Star, Miaoyin Zhenren’s speech increasingly resembled Zhao Yi’s compatriots from his memories.
Zhao Yi listened to the familiar native dialect and curiously asked, "Are there many new materials in this world?"
Miaoyin Zhenren nodded emphatically and said with a smile, "The richness of resources in the New World is a hundred times greater than in the Cultivation World, like a giant treasure vault, with countless new and curious secrets waiting for us to discover. Just stepping outside every day leads to new discoveries!"
Zhao Yi could relate to this feeling.
His first time at an amusement park felt exactly the same as Miaoyin Zhenren.
Everything was new everywhere, and there was endless fun to be had, never enough!
"Well, enjoy it," Zhao Yi said with a laugh, walking as he spoke, "Let Xiaoxiao work on the brewing process for the next few days. I’ll go prepare for a few days, and once everything is ready, I’ll bring the items to find you all."
Miaoyin Zhenren also had to research new materials to replace the peach tree gum. After bidding farewell to Zhao Yi, she went straight to another newly built wooden building.
That place was the laboratory of Xuanzhen Temple.
There were a thousand people in Xuanzhen Temple, almost all of whom possessed high talent and competence.
Unlike those ordinary cultivation sects, the troops under the Zhao Dynasty’s command were not dispersed during the transfer.
Therefore, when Miaoyin Zhenren wanted to set up a laboratory, it was easy for her to enlist over ten thousand top-notch young people to help her work.
With more people, things became easier.
Moreover, those ten thousand were all highly intelligent.
Plus, being cultivators, they didn’t need to eat, drink, excrete, or sleep.
The speed of scientific research was unstoppable.
This is also why the new radio and the papermaking technique could be conquered successfully in such a short time.
Zhao Yi, having been a science and engineering student in his previous life, had truly had enough of laboratories.
So, although he knew Miaoyin Zhenren had built a laboratory, he had never visited it and was unaware of how formidable it had become.
Upon returning to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Zhao Yi unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
Linglong was teasing Black Stripe outside the door. Hearing footsteps behind her, she promptly stood up and turned back to bow to Zhao Yi.
"Minister greets His Highness, the Crown Prince."
"Rise."
Zhao Yi waved his hand, looked Linglong up and down, then shook his head.
"Your aptitude is still too poor!"
Linglong was among the last batch of people who entered the New World with Zhao Yi.
After entering the New World, the first challenge everyone faced was to disperse techniques and reincarnate.
Zhao Yi, having never practiced any cultivation technique, didn’t have the reincarnation issue, so he recovered the fastest among everyone.
In contrast, Linglong, Huang Ying, and Qing Feng were quite the opposites.
Huang Ying and Qing Feng had good aptitudes, although they were seriously injured due to high cultivation levels during the dispersing process, and spending time soaking in the Spirit Lake hastened their recovery.
They had already fully recovered three months ago and were now in seclusion, aiming to regain their former cultivation powers as soon as possible.
This was also a strategy adopted by many of the Zhao Dynasty’s ancestors.
On the land of the New World, you couldn’t see many people because, except for the farming households, almost everyone was in seclusion.
This was also why Zhao Yi wasn’t worried about those cultivation sects occupying territories after opening their doors to recruit disciples.
The New World was vast, yet Zhao Yi transferred too few people.
This is the reality of wide open spaces and sparse population.
Those cultivation sects couldn’t find people; Zhao Yi was curious about how they could occupy territories.
Linglong and Huang Ying dispersed techniques at the same time, yet due to poor aptitude, even after months in seclusion, she was still late.
Hearing Zhao Yi’s words, the corner of Linglong’s mouth twitched.
Linglong didn’t understand how Zhao Yi could shamelessly say her aptitude was poor.
No matter how poor her aptitude was, she could at least cultivate.
And Zhao Yi?
He hadn’t even broken through the first stage yet!
If Zhao Yi knew Linglong’s thoughts, he would likely have given her a playful knock on the head.
He gestured to Linglong with a wave, smiling as he said, "You’re back just in time; I have something for you to do!"
Zhao Yi wasn’t used to writing, especially using a brush pen, and writing a lengthy novel like ’The Investiture of the Gods’ was even more so.
Previously, because everyone literate was busy, and those who weren’t busy either didn’t know how to read or couldn’t be trusted, Zhao Yi had no choice but to painstakingly write it himself.
Now that Linglong was back, Zhao Yi simply assigned her the arduous task, letting her take over this tedious work.
Linglong didn’t know what Zhao Yi wanted from her, so she agreed and followed him into the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Black Stripe glanced at the departing Zhao Yi and Linglong, then lay back down to continue napping in boredom.
The New World was wonderful in every way, except it lacked meat buns. And who knew where Madam Cao could be.....
