i was going through the blueprint for the [The Ever Shaping Cauldron] that Aiko gave her.
It was quite elaborate and complex apparatus, but still manageable, since she saw similarly crazy things in the Immortal World.
anwhile, Moon Aiko was reshaping the lid, so that it would fit once again. It was nice that it was from softer material, since it allowed the pressure inside to be released without more explosive force.
Sure, the lid did fly away, but the actual Cauldron didn't move by much. Moon Aiko believed it was because so of that force was dispersed through the bending, but... well... she wouldn't try to test it again since i 'scolded' her.
With that in mind, Moon Aiko went ahead to lt those broken Treasures, which would be normally useless.
"Oh, and if you can make them into small ingots, it would help us in storing them." i noticed that Moon Aiko would be lting things again, so she made sure that the assignnt was clear.
"I will do my best." Moon Aiko didn't have any moulds, so it would still be her Divine Sense that would shape it.
Moon Aiko just didn't want to deal with more materials and how the ingot moulds should work and heat up and blablablabla.
Considering the mountain of broken Treasures, it was simply not feasible for Aiko to care about such things.
Even if those ingots would be slightly bent, it would still be better than making them into those balls and sludge-like things.
Moon Aiko focused on the broken Treasures and lifted them up. She was picking only things that had similar tals inside.
There were a few things that were botherso, but Moon Aiko wouldn't be able to affect them without giving herself even more work.
So the process was simple.
The majority is supposed to be one tal, while the minority would be sorted as it lted.
This would prevent the whole thing from possibly combining or burning to ash.
This might draw out the lting process, but considering just how much she was able to lt at once, it more than makes up for it.
Now the only thing left was to just lt those things!
...
Moon Aiko looked over and was shocked.
i pretty much made 1 to 1 replica of the [The Ever Shaping Cauldron] with the clay-dirt alone!
She was pretty shocked by the size of it, since it was supposed to be 20 tres tall, but i's was slightly bigger.
"You usually use Levitation Stone to keep it suspended since it would be botherso if the vibrations affected the final product." i shook her head gently. They could not spare such a thing for this, and it was not like they were in the Immortal World, where quakes were the norm.
"How complex." Moon Aiko shook her head. She never imagined it could be upgraded like this, but that was only natural since she was thinking too simply!
"How about attaching it next to a flying ship, so that you can slt ore as you go?" Moon Aiko rubbed her hands and i's body visibly stiffened.
i softly sighed. "You know, you are probably the only one who cos up with these crazy things." She shook her head gently, but she could understand where Aiko was coming from.
With such a thing attached to the flying ship. It would be able to transport only the purest tals, instead of the rocks and other useless things.
This would greatly increase the yield of everything, while also reducing the rubble and consumption of Spirit Stones... in theory.
i tilted her head a few tis, trying to figure out how it would work.
"Maybe if you joined two flying ships together and suspended it between them?" i gave up thinking simply and just went Aiko's route, as crazy as possible.
"In that case we can do more than just one~!" Moon Aiko proclaid, humming happily.
"You an we would separate the slting process from the purification process?" i tilted her head, seriously thinking about it.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringent.
"Since the slting is the slowest, we could have two slters and one purifier." Moon Aiko nodded her head seriously right next to i.
"tal is lted." Grandpa Fla warned Aiko, since he knew that she would ignore it for a while.
Her research was more important than those lovely tals.
He could respect that, but then she also might accuse him of not telling her sooner, so just in case he would announce when the tals lted.
"Thank you~" Moon Aiko trotted right back, pulling out the molten tals with her Divine Sense
i just watched the whole process before focusing on her own Cauldron.
She would fire it just once, in order to make sure it was as well done as possible and then she would start taking it apart.
Why you might ask? Because she didn't need the whole thing. i only wanted the Pill Refining part and that was it.
She didn't need the Forging part and she didn't definitely need the mixing part, since it would only bring her headache.
It was better to take care of Herbs than it was of those damned tals!
i also didn't like the heat, since most Pills required less heat than the majority of the tals.
Moon Aiko moulded those things into sothing that resembled ingots. It was not perfect nor polished, but it was good enough to take less space than those balls that she made from mixing tals.
i fired the Cauldron at low heat through special Formation. She didn't have Spiritual Fla like Aiko and she also needed greater precision compared to what Aiko's Spiritual Fla could do.
As such this was the best she could currently do.
She was firing that Cauldron slowly in order to harden it. i had to make sure that everything was normal and operational since this whole thing was supported by her Divine Sense.
Well not the whole thing. She only supported every middle 'floor' and 'ceiling' so that it wouldn't collapse upon itself.
Most Cauldrons were made out of tal, so they didn't need to care about such a thing, but i was more cautious about this.
That was because every little mistake would snowball over ti, making it difficult to establish so kind of groundwork on how this was supposed to work.
...
With the firing done, i noticed that Aiko was watching her.
"What?" i pursed her lips as she looked over. Aiko was still lting tals, but her attention was wholly on i.
"Nothing." Moon Aiko kicked her legs in her sitting position. "I just wonder if it wouldn't be easier to make it out of tal and lt it later..."
"You would have to either cut it into parts or destroy it, since we don't have anything this big. Not to ntion every tal is not suitable for Cauldrons, so if we even have enough for it is questionable." i shook her head. She was aware that this wouldn't be easy, but she would try her best to make it work.
"I didn't think resources would be the issue." Moon Aiko was startled, but considering that what i created was around 25 tres tall, it was only natural that it would consu a lot more resources than Moon Aiko's tiny version.
"I'm glad you understand it." i chuckled as she kept tapping the Cauldron with her knuckles.
"And what are you doing now?" Moon Aiko was fascinated and wanted to know more about what i was doing, since she was a lot more experienced.
With that experience, i might have things that Moon Aiko was not aware of, which could allow her to expand her horizons.
The most important part was to watch i and not disturb her!
"Once you fire clay, it will have this distinctive 'clang', you will understand it once you fire them enough, but just using that sound, you will know if it's fired well or not." i smiled as it seed it was evenly fired.
"Is it similar to Pill scent?" Moon Aiko thought about sothing that could be like that, but the only thing she ca up with was a Pill scent.
"Not bad." i smiled at her. "Certainly Pill scent will allow you to understand the quality of the Pills, but there are also Pill Refining Cultivators that add scents to it.
"Whoa..." Moon Aiko didn't even think about that, but to think they would be able to scam others like that.
"Well, that was in the Immortal World, but I'm sure soone would develop it over here too." i shrugged, but she was pretty confident that she was right.
"Would they really do that? They would pretty much turn everyone against them..." Moon Aiko tilted her head. That way their reputation would be ruined and they wouldn't be able to sell nor buy anything!
"There is also Black Market, which doesn't care about such things." i gestured as she drew a symbol into nearby dirt.
"Snake?" Moon Aiko tilted her head. What i drew seed like a snake swallowing sothing.
"This was their old symbol. I'm not sure if they are still using it, but if you co across this, you should just ignore their goods." i chuckled sinisterly.
She knew that White Aiko would be cautious, but those guys were cunning so it was better that Aiko wouldn't interact with them!
Not because she would be scamd, but because they might give her ideas!
"Awwww, but it seems like fun..." Moon Aiko pouted.
'You really-' i sighed inside her mind. White Aiko might be the most dignified, but when it ca to her experints and overall sinister nature, she could easily match the other forms!
"Ignore them, please." i switched the tactic to pleas, since she knew that would work on Aiko more.
"I will et them." Moon Aiko was simply too curious to miss this opportunity.
i groaned unhappily. She would be happier if Aiko simply ignored them, but that didn't seem to be an option now.
"Just don't do anything too crazy. I'm still not used to it..." i pleaded with Aiko, since that was the truth.
"Oh..." Moon Aiko clearly didn't expect that. "Then I just won't show you~" She humd innocently.
"You do know that's even worse than just telling , right?" i felt flabbergasted by her attitude.
"I know. It's fun to ss with y- Auauauauauau." Moon Aiko cried out, since her cheeks were pinched once again.
"If you like to ss with , then you don't mind if I ss with you, right?" i smiled sinisterly and kept pinching her cheeks.
"I'm sowwy, please shou!" Moon Aiko cried gently, since i was overdoing it this ti.
"Hmpf." i seed quite upset, but still let Aiko go, since it was not exactly her fault. Her nature couldn't be changed and since i picked her as partner, she would have to deal with it.
"Auwie..." Moon Aiko pouted at i.
"Nothing too crazy, alright?" i warned her, since she needed to get used to this a bit more first.
"Okay..." Moon Aiko said that, but she was already thinking about how to build those flying Cauldrons!
