Chapter 120: The Terrifying Cohesive Power of a Refining Master!
In Gama Holy City, at the Refining Master Guild...
Jiang Lin pulled Yuan Bao to the Tianzi Refining Workshop. When he had joined as a disciple, Hu Lei had mentioned that if no one else was using it, he could freely use it. Of course, Jiang Lin didn't yet know that before him, only three refining masters could use the Tianzi Refining Workshop unconditionally: Hu Lei, Han Yu, and Yuan Bao.
"Master has his own considerations. He has extremely high expectations for you, which is why he arranged for you to fight that old Dou Wang!" In the pleasant outdoor refining workshop, Jiang Lin took two sets of blueprints and two pairs of Feather Sheath Wings, along with a flying Dou Qi technique book titled "Feather Sheath," and laid them out in front of Yuan Bao.
"These are the blueprints for the Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wings and the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings, along with the actual items. This is the flying Dou Qi technique 'Feather Sheath,' which also serves as the Dou Qi controller for these two flying Dou Qi devices."
Jiang Lin directly attached the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings to his back, and with a clang, the wings snapped open. With a hum, the crimson-gold wings appeared, and Jiang Lin hovered in the air right before Yuan Bao, who stood there dumbfounded.
"We'll leave the Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wings aside. Brother, you can study the Double Leaf Wings to understand the operational principles. In the next seven days, we need to improve it so that it can adapt to your Dou Ling cultivation and become a Fourth-Grade, or even Fifth-Grade, Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wing."
"The Four-Leaf Wings can fly, but the materials I used are all Second-Grade and Third-Grade, so the best I can achieve is a Great Dou Master-level flight. A Dou Ling's combat strength is stronger, but the materials I used for this Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wing aren't enough to withstand the battle strength of a Dou Wang. So, we need to upgrade the materials!"
Jiang Lin's three sets of Feather Sheath Wing blueprints were simply adjustments in technical thinking, adding or removing components. As long as the materials were strong enough, even the Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wings could be refined into Sixth-Grade quality.
However, Jiang Lin's Feather Sheath Wing blueprints were strong in setting a reliable lower limit. With First- and Second-Grade materials, one could still make functional Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wings, emphasizing simplicity and durability. Using Second- and Third-Grade materials, one could create the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings, which were extremely strong!
For example, the Six-Leaf Feather Sheath Wing that Jiang Lin was still conceptualizing could be called the third-generation Feather Sheath Wing. This technological upgrade would move from the Second-Generation Dou Qi engine to the Dou Qi furnace, still being tested. Due to the immense flight data, it would require at least Third- and Fourth-Grade materials, and thus, the starting quality of the third-generation Feather Sheath Wing would be at least Third-Grade.
"I think I now understand why Master arranged for me to take on this bet," Yuan Bao said, picking up Jiang Lin's Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wing blueprints. He looked at the densely packed material data and the model, scratching his head, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Imagine if he, a Dou Ling, could completely crush a traditional Dou Wang in aerial combat in front of the high-ups of the Gama Empire. Just thinking about it made Yuan Bao's scalp tingle with excitement!
"I understand what you need. I'll go to the warehouse and fetch some materials that might be useful... No, I'll call other refining masters from the Guild who are resting and interested in this!" As a Fourth-Grade Refining Master, Yuan Bao had a great understanding of the materials. After only a quick glance at the First-Grade Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wings, he immediately understood the design principles and what materials were needed. He eagerly rolled up the blueprints and rushed toward the refining workshop.
Ten minutes later, Yuan Bao returned with five refining masters of varying ages, excitedly introducing them to Jiang Lin. "Brother Kle, a Fourth-Grade Refining Master! Brother Haimer, a Fourth-Grade Refining Master! Li Wen San, a Third-Grade Refining Master, Bai Hua, a Third-Grade Refining Master, and our little brother Iwen, a Senior First-Grade Refining Master, who will soon be able to take the Second-Grade Refining Master exam!"
Kle and Haimer appeared to be in their forties or fifties, though their actual ages might be older, as their Dou Qi cultivation made them look younger. Li Wen San and Bai Hua were in their thirties, while Iwen was the youngest, even younger than Jiang Lin.
With Jiang Lin included, there were only twelve full-time refining masters in the Gama Refining Guild, and excluding Hu Lei, Han Yu, Jiang Lin, and Yuan Bao, there were only eight remaining. Now, Yuan Bao had called in five, leaving three who weren't present—those three were in the refining rooms in seclusion, and Yuan Bao didn't want to disturb them.
In other words, only a few staff members were left in the vast refining guild, handling some basic work. Yuan Bao didn't dare close the Guild's main doors, so he asked a staff member to keep an eye on them to avoid being scolded by the vice-president.
"Hello, Master Jiang Lin," Kle and the others greeted Jiang Lin with smiles, shaking his hand and introducing themselves.
They greatly admired Jiang Lin's approach to the Flying Dou Qi devices, so after seeing the Double Leaf Feather Sheath Wing blueprints, they immediately joined Jiang Lin's small team. Little Iwen wasn't part of the team; he had just been invited by Yuan Bao to learn and gain experience.
"Although seven days is a bit tight, Master Jiang Lin's blueprints are very clear. We'll understand the principles after just a quick glance. I'll take charge of the testing of new materials," said Kle, smiling.
"Dou Ling can have more Dou Qi energy patterns, and the rearrangement of those energy patterns, leave that to me. As long as the basic idea is correct, we'll integrate everything in three days and then make detailed adjustments," Haimer nodded to Jiang Lin. As a Dou Ling, he was more familiar with the Dou Qi strength of Dou Lings.
"Leave the forging and polishing to us," Li Wen San and Bai Hua exchanged glances and took on the task.
"I... I..." Little Iwen scratched his head, unsure what to do.
Yuan Bao immediately directed, "You can assist as an apprentice, and don't forget to bring us food, haha."
Everyone laughed heartily at Yuan Bao's comment, and he continued, "I'll start by learning the Feather Sheath, and test the agility of the Second-Grade Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings. Once you've sorted everything out, I'll handle the Spirit Forging."
As everyone quickly found their tasks, Jiang Lin's eyes gleamed, and he smiled. "Hahaha, then I'll improve the Dou Qi engine of the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings. Initially, it was meant to reduce costs, but the more effective design wasn't implemented."
"Hahaha, your energy circuit is so innovative! We wouldn't dare touch it, but leaving it to you is the safest!" The group smiled in unison, then began receiving storage rings from Yuan Bao. Pieces of rare materials that were hard to find outside were gradually stacked in the Tian Di Refining Workshop. Some began using the Chi Long Ding for refining, while others analyzed and recorded their findings.
Sitting on a stone in the high place, Jiang Lin reflected on how to optimize the complex energy models for the Dou Qi engines. He glanced down at the busy workers below and was momentarily stunned.
Kle was selecting materials that might be useful from a pile of high-level materials, while Li Wen San and Bai Hua kept refining the materials Kle had chosen, passing them to Haimer for testing the energy patterns. Yuan Bao was learning the Feather Sheath, and the group occasionally exchanged ideas. Based on their respective experiences, they deepened their understanding of the Four-Leaf Feather Sheath Wings, and the research data grew more abundant.
This scene made Jiang Lin realize why there were so many Sixth-Grade Refining Masters in Central State.
Where else, besides Central State, could you gather so many refining masters who could suddenly generate new ideas and had hands-on abilities?
