Chapter 109 I Have a Way

"Is Daoist Fellow Ye Yun here?"

The voice of Ji Zhixian's disciple Chai Ziyu came from outside the door.

Gu Yunli put down the jade slip, stood up and opened the door.

"So it's Brother Chai, I wonder what brings you here?"

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, do you know where my master is?"

"I don't know."

Gu Yunli lied with his eyes open, paused and offered another suggestion:
"Why don't you send a message and ask?"

"It's nothing serious. I just have some doubts about refining weapons and want to ask about them. Since the master is not here, he must be busy with something important. As a disciple, how can I disturb him?"

Chai Ziyu shook his head, appearing to be quite respectful to his teacher.

"I see."

"Daoyou are also refining weapons?"

Chai Ziyu's gaze fell behind Gu Yunli, and he saw that the small desk was piled high with scrolls and tablets, which was quite luxurious.

"Yes!"

Gu Yunli nodded.

"That's a coincidence. Why don't we discuss it together? Master once said that a good learner can make up for his own shortcomings by learning from others' strengths. We can verify each other and maybe we can solve our doubts."

"That's exactly what I meant. Please come in!"

After a moment's thought, Gu Yunli finally agreed.

"Hey, it's a bit boring for the two of us to discuss Dao. My fellow disciples all have their own strengths in the Dao of Refining. Why don't we invite them all to come?"

"Okay!"

Gu Yunli readily agreed.

I thought that if I didn't agree, these people would probably find all kinds of excuses to get closer to me.

"Hold on."

Chai Ziyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly chanted a spell, logged on to the Internet, and said directly to the group of fellow disciples: "Done, come quickly!"

The crowd suddenly became excited.

"Senior brother is mighty!"

"Good job!"

Gu Yunli smiled and invited Chai Ziyu in, and asked curiously: "If I am not mistaken, you are logging in through the Internet, right?"

"Yes, by the way, since we are both studying at Lingbao Taoist Academy, why don't we add each other as friends?"

"Okay!"

Gu Yunli nodded, and casually created the "Ye Yun" account. While adding a friend, he curiously asked, "Why don't you use the water mirror, but choose the Internet?"

Chai Ziyu looked at Gu Yunli's account and said meaningfully, "Daoyou don't use the Internet either?"

Gu Yunli was very surprised: "I am used to it, is it the same for you, fellow Taoist?"

Chai Ziyu said, "No, who is the master of the water mirror? He is the second-rank immortal official of the Immortal Court, Emperor Dongyin. If he uses his prayer technique, wouldn't he be watching him all the time?"

Gu Yunli asked, "You are using the Internet under Gu Zhenzai's watch?"

"No, no, no!"

Chai Ziyu shook his head.

"When weighing two benefits, choose the more important one; when weighing two harms, choose the lesser one. Although the Internet is also under Gu Zhenzai's surveillance, he is, after all, an eighth-rank immortal official with limited cultivation. Can he still monitor the world? Even if he can monitor the world, what can he do to us? What if it is Shui Jing?"

Gu Yunli suddenly understood.

He has been running the platform for so long that he has forgotten the user psychology.

For ordinary mortals, it doesn’t matter whether you use the Internet or a water mirror.

But for monks, there are obviously more things to consider.

Although the Internet is monitored through water mirrors,
But choosing to monitor the weak is undoubtedly more reassuring.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will not talk nonsense or say outrageous things on the forum!

Emperor Dongyin may not be able to see it;
Maybe I don’t care;

But in everything, we should be prepared for the worst. What if someone cares about us?
So in comparison, the Internet is much more reassuring.

Gu Yunli, who understood this, was both happy and annoyed.

I’m surprised that being weak can actually become an advantage; I’m annoyed that this can only attract monks, as most of this group are freeloaders!

There were only a few people who burned incense and signed in.

No, we have to think of a way to force them to sign in and make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunli's eyes inadvertently swept across the jade slip on the table, and some vague ideas came to his mind.

……

While the two were chatting, soon disciples from Lingbao Taoist Temple came to pay their respects.

Under Chai Ziyu's introduction, Gu Yunli got to know them one by one and they even added each other as friends.

These people are not stupid. They watch Gu Yunli freely entering and leaving Ji Zhixian's meditation room every day. Although they are a little jealous, they also know that his identity must be extraordinary and there is no harm in making friends with him now.

With the intention of making friends, everyone had a great time chatting.

Gu Yunli also took the opportunity to ask many questions and gained a lot.

At this point, Gu Yunli has been integrated into Lingbao Taoist Temple.

The next day, Ji Zhixian deliberately showed up at Lingbao Taoist Temple, appearing that everything was normal.

On the third day, a guest came to visit.

After the guests left, Ji Zhixian quickly gathered the disciples of Lingbao Taoist Temple, including Gu Yunli.

It was announced that Lingbao Taoist Temple had taken on a big job.

Because this order includes three levels of magical instruments, high, medium and low, all disciples in the academy have to participate in refining, and the more the better.

The disciples of Lingbao Taoist Temple were immediately excited when they heard this.

Even though weapon refiners have a high status, according to rumors in the martial arts world, they are very expensive to hire.

In fact, only mid- and high-level weapon refiners enjoy such a status.

For ordinary weapon refiners, their status is very high, but their situation is very embarrassing.

The reason is very simple. The scrap rate of ordinary equipment refiners is too high, and customer materials are not blown by the wind. Who is willing to practice with you?

Therefore, if a large number of orders can be received, it is no less than rebirth from the ashes for ordinary equipment refiners.

For a moment, Lingbao Taoist Temple seemed to be caught in a kind of frenzy atmosphere.

However, this atmosphere did not last long as they encountered difficulties.

However, the scrap rate of mid-grade enlightenment jade slips is too high.

Even though Lingbao Taoist Temple allowed a certain scrap rate, the disciples still felt the pain.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Let's stop and discuss it first. It won't be too late to refine it later."

Sixth senior brother Feng Hang called out in the group and gathered his fellow disciples together to discuss.

Gu Yunli also went there happily.

A group of people gathered in the courtyard of the Sixth Senior Brother and discussed the matter in detail.

"This mid-grade enlightenment jade slip is definitely not an ordinary mid-grade magic weapon. It's too difficult. I have refined many mid-grade magic weapons before, but this time, there is a 50% to 60% chance that it will be scrapped. I feel so sad!"

"No, this is a mid-grade magic weapon. It's just that ordinary magic weapons rarely use the Qi-hiding curse. You and I are not proficient in it, which makes it difficult to refine!"

"Speaking of the Hidden Qi Curse Seal, I feel that this item is not a magical tool for cultivators, but more like a tool for mortals. This can be seen from the name. Therefore, the design of the talisman seal is very bizarre and different from what we usually see. This is also one of the reasons why the failure rate has increased greatly."

Gu Yunli listened to the discussion and had to admit that Ji Zhixian's teaching level was good.

Regardless of the skills of these disciples, their vision is quite good!
"What should we do? If we continue to refine at the current failure rate, even if we complete the delivery, I'm afraid the profit will be limited."

"Then just treat it as a practice!"

"Practicing is good, but it's also good to earn a little more! We, as weapon refiners, have extremely high costs. If we can earn a little more this time, our future road will be less bumpy."

"In my opinion, it would be better for us to gather together to refine. If we find anything, we can discuss it at any time, and it will also allow everyone to avoid problems in time."

"That's the only way now."

The disciples talked about it a lot, but after some discussion, they were helpless.

After all, technology cannot be improved quickly through a few discussions.

This kind of thing can only be achieved by practicing it yourself!

"Please be patient, I have a method to improve the yield rate."

While everyone was at a loss, Gu Yunli suddenly spoke.
