As Zhang Tie practiced his rune instrument manufacturing skills step by step in the rune instrument manufacturing skills promotion region of the tower of time, the place where Yan Feiqing took a bath was constantly changing its look …
Actually, even without Yan Feiqing, this event was also very interesting for Zhang Tie. A rune instrument manufacturing master could almost make the greatest change to this world based on his wisdom and practical ability, not to mention battle strength.
Pharmacists played with medicinal pills. As long as people could eat it, it could be regarded as the research field of pharmacists.
Alchemists played with various stones, specifically gemstones, semi-gemstones and crystals. As for an alchemist, they could turn stones into gold. After being processed by an alchemist, those gemstones, semi-gemstones and crystals would have marvelous effects like being consecrated and unsealed. They could match medicinal pills in terms of curing diseases and strengthening bodies; they could even match runes in terms of strengthening equipment and improving its attributes. Of course, the most awe-inspiring feature of alchemists was their ability to make alchemist's bombs. Because alchemist's bombs were the only items that could kill knights on certain occasions and environments so far.
By contrast, rune instrument manufacturing masters played with metals.
In the early stage of the profession, especially the stage of craftsman apprentice and craftsman, rune instrument master was similar to that of a technician, an engineer and a blacksmith in a factory. It was hard to distinguish the work of a rune instrument master. If a rune instrument master started to work in a blacksmith shop or a factory, it would be like throwing a drop of water into the ocean. It would be hard for people to identify the difference between them.
In the middle stage, rune instrument manufacturing masters were in the advanced stage of mechanics, engineers and blacksmiths. As long as it was a machine that could be made of metal, it would be as small as a common screw or as complex as a steam turbine. In this stage, a rune instrument manufacturing master would start to make big objects such as machines, sabers, swords and armors and gradually start to make more delicate metal objects. Meanwhile, a rune instrument manufacturing master would cover a wide range of fields. Any senior silver hammer craftsman would have a deep foundation in art and sculpture. At this moment, a silver hammer craftsman would not be recognized by others.
Since Zhang Tie ate the fruit of plunder from Master Jiang, Zhang Tie had actually mastered the profound art and sculpture skills. However, Zhang Tie didn't show it on purpose. Given these two abilities, if Zhang Tie was in Waii Subcontinent, he could be a professor of art or sculpture in any university in Waii Subcontinent with his art and sculpture skills.
Starting from mithril craftsman, Zhang Tie officially entered the advanced stage of rune instrument manufacturing master. In this stage, a rune instrument manufacturing master would start to touch more advanced metals and comprehend the mystery of the combination of metals and runes. In the stage of master craftsman, it meant that a rune instrument manufacturing master had already comprehended the mystery of metals and runes to a very high level.
Craftsmanship master was a personal sublimation of each field of this profession on a very high level. A rune craftsmanship master was a master in the fields of art, sculpture, metal processing and machine manufacturing. If a rune craftsmanship master's art works were judged purely from the perspective of art, they could almost completely crush the works of those so-called masters who were purely immersed in art. In Taixia Country, the most famous painters, sculptors, sword forgers and steam engineers were all rune craftsmanship masters or above. Additionally, in the stage of craftsmanship master, a rune craftsmanship master had already mastered the use of rune arrays.
Immortal craftsman was the peak of the current professional system of rune instrument manufacturing masters. The symbol of this peak was to be proficient in the use of rune array and the attainments in other fields related to this profession.
Concentration could bring a bizarre strength. As long as one was immersed in something, the process itself would bring him a lot of discoveries and pleasure.
Zhang Tie found that it was very pleasant and enjoyable to turn the ideas in his mind into real objects one after another and gradually change this wilderness. Many things that he could experience in this process could never be brought by a fruit of plunder.
Here, Zhang Tie didn't have any stress in cultivation, intrigues, grim demons and evil enemies. He didn't need to think about how to form his chakra every day. Zhang Tie could just do what he liked leisurely every day.
When he was free, Zhang Tie would cultivate the endless true words of Great Wilderness Sect or read some books casually in the library of Xuanyuan Hill and the database of Rune Instrument Manufacturing Masters Union. This process of adjustment was also a rare enjoyment.
In the process of Zhang Tie's creation and enjoyment, Yan Feiqing's "bathing place" here was also changing day by day.
After making steel, Zhang Tie had a greater ability to transform this wilderness. He not only made various molds and tools using the steel and upgraded his metal processing table, he also made the first batch of special alloys using powder metallurgy method a few days later.
Zhang Tie made his first set of "7 treasures of instrument manufacturing" using the first batch of special alloys, which was also one of the symbols for an apprentice craftsman to promote to a craftsman.
The "7 treasures of instrument manufacturing" of rune instrument manufacturing masters were just 7 simple tools, including a hammer, 3 metal files of different specifications, 3 metal cutters and carving knives of different specifications.
As for a qualified rune instrument manufacturing master, as long as he carried the 7 simple tools and had enough raw materials, he could almost make anything as long as he was given enough time. One of the criteria to test a silver hammer craftsman was that when he processed a metal workpiece by hand using any file or carving knife of the 7 treasures of instrument manufacturing, the processing precision error should not exceed 1/100 of a strand of hair. A master craftsman's processing error should not exceed 1/1000 of a strand of hair. As long as an accomplished rune instrument manufacturing master could hold the 7 treasures of instrument manufacturing, he would be a mobile precise machine tool.
After Yan Feiqing took a bath here for a few days, Zhang Tie had manufactured the first steam extractor and the first steam boiler in this wilderness. At the same time, he had poured a batch of steel pipes for them.
With these items, Zhang Tie upgraded the bathing place once again.
In the upstream of the stream, Zhang Tie dug underground and laid two pipes. After that, he pumped the stream water into the steam boiler through the steam extractor. After that, the heated hot water flowed back into the bathing pond through the underground pipes. After making two adjustments, the icy water in the stream became warm, reaching 41 degrees Celsius, which was just right for bathing …
One month later, when Yan Feiqing came here to take a bath after ending her secluded cultivation, she found that the stream was not icy anymore. Instead, the entire pond was covered with dense steam. Yan Feiqing was stunned by such a great change. She had not imagined that Zhang Tie could make hot water for her in such an environment …
This time, Yan Feiqing soaked in the stream for 3 hours before coming out of it.
After taking a hot bath, Yan Feiqing's face looked rosy and lustrous. She looked even more charming than flowers. Watching Yan Feiqing walking out of the crystal Mongolian yurt, Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes as he swallowed his saliva twice inside.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, Yan Feiqing slowed down her footsteps as she glanced over Zhang Tie as if she recognized him once again, "I've not imagined that you have the talent to be a rune instrument manufacturing master. You've made it in a bit more than 2 months. However, it would be a pity if you don't form your chakra here. As for knights, the most important thing is cultivation base. Even if you could promote to an immortal craftsman after staying here for 6 decades, it would be more meaningful for you to promote to a shadow knight …"
"You care about me?"
Yan Feiqing didn't know that Zhang Tie had already been a major craftsman when he entered here. She thought that Zhang Tie had started from the beginning. Zhang Tie didn't explain it to her; instead, he flirted with Yan Feiqing.
"Humph …" Yan Feiqing turned cold as she directly turned around and left.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, 'If I said that when I saw this woman for the first time, I would definitely be chased by her. I've not imagined that she just replied with a cold harrumph. What does it mean …'
Zhang Tie stroked his chin as he returned to the crystal Mongolian yurt.
…
As time passed by, the two people were still doing their own things.
As a shadow knight, although she could form her chakra in secluded cultivation for a long time, it didn't mean that she didn't need rest and adjustment; especially in this tower of time where she had to cultivate for 6 decades. Zhang Tie gradually found that a bowstring that was too tight would break or be fatigued. Yan Feiqing completely regarded taking a bath here as her way to relax herself. Zhang Tie gradually found that Yan Feiqing didn't mind taking a bath in this tower of time.
Zhang Tie gradually discovered that Yan Feiqing would cultivate for 30 days each time. After that, she would come here to take a bath. After that, she would take a nap before continuing her cultivation the next day. Since she was flirted with by Zhang Tie, she had not talked to Zhang Tie for 2 months. In the following 2 months, she only saw Zhang Tie twice; however, she just passed by him silently. Zhang Tie didn't flirt with her anymore.
During these months, Zhang Tie continued to inspect and absorb the knowledge of rune instrument manufacturing masters as he modified that pool in the wilderness.
In the 3rd month, Zhang Tie built a stone mermaid sculpture in the pool while spraying hot water.
The stone mermaid sculpture was sitting on a rock in the middle of the pool, holding a conch in both hands. The heated water would spurt out from the conch, allowing people to take a shower under the spurting water …
After making this mermaid sculpture into a shower fountain, Yan Feiqing's bathing time became longer …
In the 4th month, Zhang Tie made a brick-making machine, expanded the brick kiln in the wilderness and built a new kiln. As a result, he could bake bricks over 100 times more efficiently. Additionally, the new kiln could be used to bake marlite in the wilderness. Therefore, Zhang Tie could get the simplest natural cement.
With the help of this brick-making machine, Zhang Tie could bake a lot of bricks and cement. After flattening over 6 square meters of land around the pool, Zhang Tie directly built a wall around the pool using those bricks and cement, separating two courtyards and building a house.
Although Zhang Tie had not been a construction worker before, it was not difficult for a knight and a master craftsman to build houses. Only after reading over 10 books on architecture in the library of Xuanyuan Hill in the trouble-reappearance situation, Zhang Tie had already surpassed most of the craftsmen in terms of building skills …
After entering the tower of time for half a year, Zhang Tie gave Yan Feiqing a great surprise …
