Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 34: Factory Completed

Following that, throughout that entire week, Chen Daoxuan spent almost all of his time in the earth fire chamber, imparting his skills in operating the spirit smelting furnace to these fifteen youths.

Hard work always paid off.

Under Chen Daoxuan's diligent tutelage, and the youths' dedicated efforts, the results of this week of learning were extremely gratifying. There were already some youths who were able to refine spirit ores independently.

Inside the earth fire chamber, waves of heat assaulted the group.

A group of youths were drenched in sweat, and their upper bodies were naked. They surrounded the spirit smelting furnace as they watched another youth operate the spirit smelting furnace.

However, it was different from a week ago.

The youth operating the spirits melting furnace this time was not Chen Daoxuan, but that youth named Chen Yunsheng.

Chen Yunsheng's eyes were focused on the spirit smelting furnace. From time to time, he would turn his head and take a look at the hourglass used to measure the refining time.

Unlike cultivators, who could use their spiritual sense to observe the state of the materials in the spirit smelting furnace and adjust the temperature accordingly, when mortals used the spirit smelting furnace, they could only use a timed and quantitative approach and would have to strictly follow the production steps to adjust the temperature in the furnace so that the spirit ore would not be wasted.

Although he had practiced repeatedly in his mind, Chen Yunsheng still felt a large amount of pressure when he had to physically try it out.

He glanced at Chen Daoxuan, who was standing not far away, and found that the other party was pursing his lips and not saying a word. Chen Daoxuan did not have any intention of providing him with any pointers.

Seeing this, Chen Yunsheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He directly followed the operation manual given by Chen Daoxuan and restrained his wayward thoughts.

Time passed minute by minute.

As the spirit smelting furnace ran smoothly, Chen Yunsheng's worried heart gradually relaxed.

Seeing that the other party was no longer nervous, the corners of Chen Daoxuan's mouth curled up slightly.

He had originally planned for Chen Yunsheng to fail the first refinement, but he did not expect that the other party would actually succeed on his first attempt.

Using the spirit smelting furnace to refine spirit ores was not an easy task for mortals, who did not possess spiritual sense.

One had to absolutely follow the instructions in the operation manual to the letter without the slightest error.

Obviously, Chen Yunsheng had done so.

Using his spiritual sense, Chen Daoxuan saw a lump of red liquid fusing together. The spiritual essence of the spirit ore was also slowly fusing under the effect of the spirit fusion array.

When the spiritual essence of the red liquid had completely fused, the spiritual pressure in the furnace suddenly increased. As if guided by the increased spiritual pressure, the spirit smelting furnace immediately let out an urgent cry.

"Wu!!"

Hearing this familiar cry, Chen Yunsheng was ecstatic. He knew that he had succeeded.

He immediately manipulated the control lever and, under the effect of the floating array, the red liquid was transferred out of the spirit smelting furnace.

Seeing the red liquid fly out from the discharge port of the spirit smelting furnace, Chen Daoxuan smiled slightly, and immediately circulated his true Qi to pick up the red liquid. Then, he began to shape and fuse arrays onto it.

Two hours later, a bright red flying sword appeared before everyone's eyes. It was the low-grade first-grade flying sword recorded in the clan's artifact refining inheritance, the Red Shadow flying sword.

"Oh!!"

"That's great!"

"We did it! Haha!"

Seeing this scene, all the youths present were dancing and cheering.

As for Chen Yunsheng, who had successfully operated the spirit smelting furnace, he was surrounded by them like a hero.

Even Chen Liangyu, who had been accompanying them to class for a week, had a smile on his serious face. When his gaze landed on Chen Yunsheng, a hint of pride could be seen in his eyes.

Chen Daoxuan seemed to have noticed Chen Liangyu's gaze and nodded at him with a smile.

Seeing the affirmation in the young clan leader's eyes, Chen Liangyu was even more excited.

After these seven days, Chen Liangyu clearly knew that, compared to the red copper mine that he was once in charge of, this spiritual artifact factory that was about to be built was many times more important.

It could even be said that this spiritual artifact factory was the future lifeline of the Chen clan of Shuanghu Island!

During this period of time, Chen Daoxuan observed how he handled logistics, arranged for everyone to study and eat, and how hard he worked.

If nothing unexpected happened, he might very well be the future 'workshop manager'.

Chen Liangyu thought for a moment, recalling that the young clan leader seemed to have used this term.

Just as he was daydreaming about the future, Chen Daoxuan's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Well done! It seems that you have been working very hard during this period of time. You have not let down my expectations or that of the clan."

Chen Daoxuan patted Chen Yunsheng's shoulder and praised him.

After spending time together, everyone's attitude towards Chen Daoxuan had transformed from awe into reverence.

In everyone's eyes, not only did Chen Daoxuan possess unimaginable power, he was also an immensely knowledgeable person.

It seemed like there was nothing in this world that he did not understand.

During this period of time, no matter what kind of questions everyone raised, they seemed to be able to obtain the correct answer from Chen Daoxuan. This made everyone recognize this successor from the bottom of their hearts.

They praised Chen Yunsheng.

He then appointed Chen Yunsheng as the teacher of the fifteen youths, who would continue to teach them how to operate the spirit smelting furnace.

After that, he withdrew from the tedious teaching task.

After instructing everyone, Chen Daoxuan turned to look at Chen Liangyu and said, "Manager Chen, I have something to talk to you about."

When Chen Liangyu heard these words, it was as if he had heard the sound of heavenly music. All of the bones in his body felt a little weak. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, young clan leader."

The two of them walked out of the earth fire chamber, one behind the other.

Chen Daoxuan used the wind control spell and swept up Chen Liangyu and himself, flying down the mountain.

This was Chen Liangyu's first time flying in the sky, and he could not help but feel a little panicked.

However, he was still a seventh-level Xiantian realm warrior, so he quickly adjusted himself and stood respectfully by Chen Daoxuan's side.

Seeing his behavior and temperament, Chen Daoxuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Manager Chen, I have observed your performance during this period of time. Now, on behalf of the clan, I will appoint you as the first factory manager of the spiritual artifact factory!"

"From now on, your primary responsibility is to manage the production time of the workshop's spirit smelting furnace according to my working period and increase the production output of the workshop's spiritual artifacts."

"Yes! Liangyu promises to complete the task!" Chen Liangyu said excitedly.

During this period of time, he had been learning from Chen Daoxuan, which made him understand what Chen Daoxuan meant by managing the production time of the spirit smelting furnace.

It usually took six hours for the semi-finished product, which was the red liquid, to be produced by the spirit smelting furnace.

In other words, before Chen Daoxuan entered the workshop to begin work, Chen Liangyu had to ensure that the spirit smelting furnace started working six hours in advance, and also that it produced the red liquid every two hours thereafter.

This was the only way to ensure that Chen Daoxuan could continuously refine the Red Shadow flying sword.

According to his work efficiency in refining a flying sword every two hours, Chen Daoxuan would then be able refine four to five flying swords a day without delaying the management of clan affairs or affecting his own cultivation.

Of course, this was only a theoretical hypothesis. He would have to wait until the spiritual artifact factory was completed and started actual production before he would know how the plan held up to reality.

However, no matter what, the production efficiency using this method and process was dozens of times faster than that of traditional refiners who refined each spiritual artifact personally.

...

Over the course of the following days, more and more of the youths grasped the method to control the spirit smelting furnace, graduating from an ordinary apprentice to a qualified furnace operator.

Of course, during this process, it was inevitable that some of the spirit ore they refined as practice would be wasted.

It could even be predicted that, in the future, when the spiritual artifact factory started production, the furnace operators would also waste some of the spirit ores.

However, these losses were negligible for the Chen clan, who had graduated from manual production to machine-assisted production.

One month later, just as Chen Daoxuan finished refining the fifth spirit smelting furnace, another piece of good news reached his ears.

The clan's spiritual artifact factory... was completed!
