Ch 111: Klee: Brother Ye Is The Best!
Inside the train.
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan boarded the train.
Led by Pam, the two went to a room on the second floor of the Party Carriage, with a sign reading “Clara’s Exclusive Laboratory” hanging on the doorway.
Inside the room.
Jizi and Clara were assembling a mecha about as tall as a person.
Klee was holding tools like pliers and wrenches, researching a new type of bomb.
She had already made one, but the effect wasn’t very good; there was no mushroom cloud.
Hook was tinkering with his Hole-Digging Machine, planning to replace some parts.
As for whether he was worried about not being able to put it back together? Hook said he wasn’t worried, Sister Jizi and Clara were there, after all.
Diona was holding a test tube, putting various strange materials into it to mix drinks. After mixing one, she would have “Shut Up” deliver it to Venti to have him test it.
Why didn’t she deliver it herself? She was afraid Venti would sneeze; Venti was allergic to cat hair.
Bailu was refining medicine, experimenting with high-tech equipment; she had previously used the Dan Ding Si’s alchemical furnace.
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan arrived.
The two immediately saw Bailu refining pills.
“Dragon Lady.”
Bailu heard someone calling her and turned around.
“General, are you looking for me?” Bailu pointed at herself.
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded, leading Fu Xuan to Bailu’s side.
“Hmm, what are you doing?”
Bailu showed her results to Jing Yuan.
“General, look, this is the Healing Salve I refined using Clara’s equipment here. It can very effectively treat external wounds.”
Fu Xuan picked up a packet of Healing Salve and looked at it.
“Bailu, have you confirmed the efficacy of this salve?”
Bailu nodded, pointing to the cage next to her where a little white mouse was kept.
“Confirmed. Ordinary cuts heal in three seconds!~This recipe was given to me by Ye Yun. He said… what was it? From which world was it?”
Bailu racked her brains but couldn’t remember which world Ye Yun had mentioned. She asked Diona beside her.
“Diona, do you remember which world Ye Yun said this pharmacopoeia is from?” Bailu pointed to the pharmacopoeia on her table.
The pharmacopoeia was very thick, about 10 centimeters thick, recording many pill recipes.
Diona thought for a moment, then shrugged.
“I forgot too. You can ask Brother Ye later.”
Bailu was a little distressed.
“Okay~That’s all I can do then.”
Fu Xuan, hearing about the pharmacopoeia, was very interested.
“Bailu, can I take a look at your pharmacopoeia?”
Bailu nodded.
“Sure.”
Fu Xuan and Bailu were very familiar; Bailu often sneaked into the Bureau of Divination to play, and sometimes when people from Dan Ding Si chased her, Fu Xuan would provide cover.
Therefore, the two did not address each other by their official titles.
Fu Xuan opened the pharmacopoeia. The first page was the Healing Salve.
After looking at the contents, Fu Xuan found that she didn’t recognize a single one of the medicinal herbs.
She was, after all, a Diviner from the Bureau of Divination, and she had some understanding of alchemy.
Seeing Fu Xuan’s bewildered expression, Bailu said,
“The medicinal herbs in this pharmacopoeia are basically not available on the Immortal Vessel. The herbs I used for the experiment were bought by Ye Yun for me.”
Klee interjected from the side.
“That’s right! Brother Ye just told Klee to buy whatever materials she wanted from the shop; he left 100,000 Star Coins with Older Sister Noelle for us to use.”
Bailu nodded.
“That’s right, that’s exactly it.”
Fu Xuan nodded and flipped through a few more pages. Only the Healing Salve had high value; the other recipes were for treating minor ailments.
Bailu looked at Jing Yuan.
“By the way, General, why did you come looking for me?”
Jing Yuan was secretly amazed when he heard that Ye Yun had actually allocated 100,000 Star Coins for materials for the few kids.
Tsk tsk, so much money, 100,000 Star Coins! Just for buying materials, tsk tsk, envious, this is truly envious.
Seeing Jing Yuan unmoved, Fu Xuan said,
“We bought a recipe. See if you can refine it.”
Fu Xuan took the recipe from Jing Yuan and handed it to Bailu.
Bailu took it and carefully looked at it. After looking, Bailu said,
“This pill is very simple. Do you have the materials? I can refine it now.”
Fu Xuan was overjoyed and took out 10 sets of materials and handed them to Bailu.
After receiving them, Bailu made a silencing gesture.
“Older Sister Fu Xuan, General, please go downstairs and wait a moment. I’ll have Shut Up call you up when I’m done.”
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan nodded in agreement and went to the first floor of the Party Carriage, led by Shut Up.
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan sat down. Fu Xuan put her hands on her hips.
“General, you should tell me about this train crew, shouldn’t you? Unless something unexpected happened, you should have been here all day yesterday.”
How did Fu Xuan know that Jing Yuan had been here all day yesterday? Simple, just look at Shut Up.
Shut Up served Jing Yuan a cup of tea.
“General Jingyuan, this is the tea you mentioned yesterday that you like. Please try it and see how it tastes.”
Jing Yuan awkwardly scratched his head and chuckled twice.
It’s over, Shut Up! You better shut up!
If Fu Qing knew that he had left everything to her and was enjoying himself here…
The consequences were unimaginable.
So, Jing Yuan quickly changed the subject, telling Fu Xuan about Ye Yun’s shop and that Zhongli and the others were Otherworldly Visitors. Anyway, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be said.
Fu Xuan listened.
“So that’s it. I didn’t expect there to be so many secrets on this train crew. General, have you arranged for people to collect Star Jades?”
Jing Yuan’s expression changed when he heard Fu Xuan mention Star Jades.
“I’ve already had people collect all the Star Jades.”
Fu Xuan was relieved.
“That’s good. How many Star Coins do we have now?”
Jing Yuan silently took out 30,000 Star Coins.
“Just this much.”
Fu Xuan took the Star Coins and counted them, looking suspiciously at Jing Yuan.
“General, this number isn’t right, is it? We can’t have so few Star Jades in Luofu, can we? I saw many Treasure Chests earlier.”
Jing Yuan nodded.
“It’s more than this; I also bought a Qingling Pill Recipe, which cost 150,000.”
Fu Xuan nodded.
“That should be bought. As long as Bailu can refine it, the strength of our entire Immortal Vessel Alliance will be improved.”
Quality over quantity. Many veteran soldiers of the Immortal Vessel have some mental problems due to years of fighting.
Therefore, these veteran soldiers are usually not arranged for expeditions, only used in major battles.
As long as Bailu refines the Qingling Pill, these veteran soldiers with rich combat experience can return to the battlefield and become standing forces.
Fu Xuan thought for a moment, it shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be only 180,000 Star Coins.
“General, what about the rest? Luofu’s Star Jades shouldn’t be only this much.”
