"Senior brother, is Uncle Zheng really going to be okay?"
With two people dueling nearby, Hu Ke'er couldn't focus on drawing the blueprints. She asked worriedly.
"It's okay, little junior sister. Don't look at Uncle Zheng like this now. He's extremely powerful. And someone will come to stop them soon."
"Huh?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
Both Uncle Zheng and Uncle Zhao clearly had high cultivation levels. They should be among the top in the cultivation world. If someone could stop these two, their strength must not be underestimated. If someone were to intervene, it should be someone of the same generation as the uncles.
"Enough, you two! Do you still want to destroy the Spirit Stone Refining Room again?"
Just as the two uncles were in full swing, a strong and powerful voice suddenly rang out. Then a young man suddenly appeared in the center of their fight.
"Stop right now!"
With a loud shout from the young man, he waved his sleeve and easily defused their moves.
"Sect Leader senior brother."
Seeing the young man in front of them, Uncle Zhao's face instantly darkened, while Uncle Zheng squinted his eyes and took a sip from his wine gourd.
"Hehe, senior brother, you can't blame me this time. I was just following your order to clean up the mess for these two kids."
"Senior brother, you're not really going to hand over this Spirit Stone Mine to that little girl, are you? She's the real culprit of this incident. Maybe she's a traitor sent by another faction..."
"Junior brother, you've already made a big mistake by collapsing the Spirit Stone Refining Room. What are you still standing here for?"
The Sect Leader frowned as he looked at Uncle Zhao.
"But senior brother, this little girl..."
"You don't need to worry about her situation. This is my decision. Do you have any doubts about it?"
The Sect Leader said with a cold face.
"Dare not, dare not."
Seeing the cold face of the Sect Leader, Uncle Zhao instantly wilted like an eggplant.
"Since you dare not, then hurry up and leave. Didn't I tell you to go to the back mountain to manage the bamboo garden?"
"Yes."
Hearing the Sect Leader's order, Uncle Zhao cast an unwilling glance at Hu Ke'er and the others. Then he gritted his teeth fiercely, waved his sleeve, and turned away.
"Phew~ That annoying guy is finally gone."
Seeing Uncle Zhao leave, Hu Ke'er let out a long sigh.
"Alright, leave the matters here to you. Hurry up and refine high - purity Spirit Stones."
The cold face of the Sect Leader suddenly showed a smile. Then his afterimage disappeared in front of them.
"This..."
Seeing Uncle Zhao and the Sect Leader disappear in front of her, Hu Ke'er was slightly stunned.
"The Sect Leader just left like this?"
"Otherwise?"
Chen Tianyi said.
"After all, he's the Sect Leader. He's very busy. It's already great that he could spare time to help us."
"Stinky boy, you two should get back to work quickly. Don't think that just because the Sect Leader seems to be helping you two now. If you can't refine high - purity Spirit Stones, you two might be thrown to the back mountain to feed the monsters!"
After Uncle Zheng finished speaking, he also disappeared in front of them.
"Uh -"
Seeing Uncle Zheng leave, Hu Ke'er was also stunned.
"Senior brother, is what Uncle Zheng said true?"
"Don't mind that old man. He always exaggerates. If we can't produce Spirit Stones, we probably won't be thrown to feed the monsters. At most, we'll just be expelled from the sect."
"What?!"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er exclaimed in surprise.
You've got to be kidding me! I've never heard of being expelled from the sect!
"Senior brother, you're not joking, are you? The Sect Leader seems like a nice guy, and he's quite handsome."
"Who's joking with you? You'd better figure out how to refine Spirit Stones quickly. Otherwise, we'll surely be in big trouble if we can't hand in the Spirit Stones."
As Chen Tianyi said, he tapped Hu Ke'er's head.
"Okay, I know. But to improve efficiency, senior brother, let's split up! You're in charge of the repairs, and I'll be responsible for making the machine to refine Spirit Stones."
Seeing Chen Tianyi's serious face, Hu Ke'er quickly said.
"A machine to refine Spirit Stones? Is it something like an alchemy furnace? There are some of those."
Chen Tianyi asked softly.
"Sort of. My blueprint is almost done. After that, I'll just ask the little blacksmith to make a prototype for a try."
"Well... I don't think you should be in such a hurry to draw the blueprint, little junior sister."
"Huh?"
Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"If I don't draw the blueprint first, how can I refine the Spirit Stones?"
"I don't mean to stop you from drawing the blueprint. But there's something more important for us right now."
"Hmm? Senior brother, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say!"
Hu Ke'er frowned. She really didn't know what she had missed.
"Okay."
Chen Tianyi nodded and analyzed.
"Ke'er, the main reason Uncle Zhao could always manage the Spirit Stone Refining Room is that these workers used to listen to him. If these workers are not willing to help us, we might encounter quite a bit of resistance when refining the Spirit Stones."
"Huh? You mean these workers are Uncle Zhao's direct subordinates? That can't be right. If their relationship was really that good, Uncle Zhao wouldn't have just run away by himself when the Spirit Stone Refining Room was about to collapse, would he?"
Hu Ke'er asked in confusion.
"They're not exactly his direct subordinates, but he did give these workers some benefits. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people willing to work for him. The main problem is that we're not sure what these workers are thinking."
"That's okay. Senior brother, you first arrange the senior brothers and sisters who know healing spells to treat their injuries. We'll deal with other matters later."
"Are you sure, little junior sister? These workers are not good people! If we heal them and they bite us back, it'll be a big problem!"
"It's okay, senior brother. Trust me. Just treat the injured and repair the refining room first!"
"Okay, then."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi had no choice but to nod. Then he began to arrange for the senior brothers and sisters to use healing spells to treat the injured workers.
As for Hu Ke'er, she planned to make a distillation and condensation device to refine the Yuan Stones.
Of course, for distillation and condensation, it's best to use huge glassware for this device. So Hu Ke'er's top priority now was to communicate with the blacksmith about how to make glass.
Making glass is actually not very complicated. You just need to heat quartz sand at a high temperature. However, it's relatively more troublesome to shape it into a vessel. But since modern technology can do it, it should be even easier to operate in this cultivation world with spiritual energy!
