"Little blacksmith, are you in?" Hu Ke'er asked as she walked into the smithy.
"Little senior sister, you've come just in time!" The little blacksmith quickly walked over upon hearing Hu Ke'er's voice.
"Little senior sister, the thing you asked me to forge before is already done!"
"Eh, why is it so fast?" Hu Ke'er exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the little blacksmith's words. After all, the drawing of the spiritual energy engine she had given before was not very simple. If it were to be made at a normal speed, it would probably take a month or so.
"Because they helped me. And these guys know a bit of spiritual power. With their help, the construction period has been greatly shortened." The little blacksmith said, pointing at a dozen or so workers lying on the ground taking a break behind him.
"Well, since it's already done, show it to me!"
"Okay!" Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the little blacksmith grinned, then gently reached out and pulled off a red cloth covering something in the smithy.
"Ta-da! This is the machine you asked me to make, little senior sister. Take a look and see if it's right!"
"Well, it looks quite decent!" Hu Ke'er nodded slightly upon seeing the prototype of the spiritual energy engine in front of her.
"However, I don't know if it can run properly." Thinking this way, Hu Ke'er opened the pre - reserved spiritual energy storage box on the spiritual energy engine, and then said to the little blacksmith,
"Little blacksmith, do you have any spiritual stone powder, spiritual energy or spiritual liquid here?"
"I don't have any of these. If you need them, little senior sister, you can just go to the spiritual stone refining room next door to get some. After all, I'm not a member of this sect, so it's not appropriate for me to go and get them."
"Okay, I got it~" Hearing the little blacksmith's words, Hu Ke'er quickly went to the spiritual stone refining room next door to get some high - purity spiritual energy and then added it to the storage box of the spiritual energy engine.
"Okay, I'm going to start it and give it a try!" Hu Ke'er said as she slightly extended her palm towards a red spar placed on the engine, and then stretched out her palm completely.
"Start!" As Hu Ke'er's voice fell, a red light faintly lit up on the red spar, and the spiritual energy engine instantly trembled. The gears turned, making a "clack - clack - clack" roaring sound on the anvil.
"Yeah, great! It's a success! After that, as long as we add more gears and transmission devices, we can make a vehicle!" Hu Ke'er jumped up excitedly upon hearing the loud roar of the machine.
"Little senior sister, what should we do next?"
"Well, it's simple. I'll draw the blueprints of the spare parts for you later. All you need to do is make them then!" Hu Ke'er said with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth as she reached out her palm towards the red spar again to extinguish it.
"It's a pity that I can't make a gearbox yet. Now we can only adjust the speed by controlling the amount of spiritual energy entering." Hu Ke'er murmured to herself.
After all, Hu Ke'er's goal was not to build a car. What she needed most now was just a means of transportation. In this case, a two - wheeled motorcycle would be more suitable for her.
"I'll draw the blueprints of the spare parts for you later. First, take a look at this." Hu Ke'er said excitedly as she handed the drawing of the automatic alchemy furnace in her hand to the little blacksmith.
"Well, it should be possible to make this, but the volume may be relatively large after it's made." The little blacksmith said after looking at the drawing Hu Ke'er had drawn for a while.
"It's okay. The volume of an alchemy furnace is originally not small. Just give it a try."
"Okay, got it!" Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the little blacksmith nodded his head, and then began to call the workers who were taking a break to start working.
"Guys, let's get back to work! There's new work!"
"Okay..." Several workers got up wearily, answering with dark circles under their eyes.
"Well, you all look very tired. Why don't you take a break first? It's not urgent to do this tomorrow. Go back and rest!" Hu Ke'er quickly said upon seeing the state of these people.
After all, if they were in a bad state, it was easy to make mistakes during work. It would be better to let them have a good rest first!
"Thank you, little senior sister!" Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, everyone thanked her repeatedly and then left the smithy one by one to rest.
"Little blacksmith, why don't you go and rest?" Logically speaking, the little blacksmith should be the most tired one here, since he was just an ordinary person without any body - refining or other training.
"Well, I have nowhere to go. When I'm tired, I just rest on that couch." The little blacksmith said, pointing at a couch on one side.
"Ah, I see!" Hearing the little blacksmith's words, Hu Ke'er just realized that she seemed to have always treated the little blacksmith badly. He had been helping her forge all kinds of things without complaint, but she had never cared about him.
"Little blacksmith, have you ever thought about what you're going to do in the future?" Hu Ke'er suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the little blacksmith was stunned for a moment, and then softly asked,
"What do you mean by what to do in the future?"
"Little blacksmith, you're not going to keep working as a blacksmith here for the rest of your life, are you?"
"But I only know how to be a blacksmith. My master only taught me how to be a blacksmith." The little blacksmith said.
"It doesn't matter. You can learn what you don't know." Hu Ke'er said with a smile.
"Do you want to cultivate immortality like me? If so, you can live a long life~"
"Can I?" Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, the little blacksmith's eyes brightened, and then instantly dimmed.
"I'm just a little blacksmith. Maybe I don't have much talent."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have talent. Look, my talent is not very good either. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Senior Sister Liu'er who came here before to refine some body - quenching pills for you. After you take them, your body will be much better!"
"Really?!" The little blacksmith exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, of course it's true. But I have a condition." Hu Ke'er said.
"My master told me to follow little senior sister well before. Even if I don't cultivate immortality, I'll agree to whatever little senior sister says. Not to mention one condition, even a hundred or a thousand conditions, as long as I can do it, I'll definitely try my best!"
"Well, that's good. Actually, I just want you to continue to help me make some prototype machines when I need them. After all, your craftsmanship is better. Although those workers are also familiar with blacksmithing, they must not be as good as you."
"No problem!"
"Then little blacksmith, you have a good rest. When you have time, go to my master's place to test your spiritual roots. I'll ask Senior Sister Yuan Liuer for the pills for you."
"Great! I can also cultivate immortality! Hahaha~" Seeing the little blacksmith's happy look, the corner of Hu Ke'er's mouth also twitched slightly.
Well, this can be regarded as a little reward for the little blacksmith~
