Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

After figuring out the mechanism, Li Yao started trying.

He shook his head at an astonishing speed.

When one shakes his head too fast, he would feel dizzy because thereʼs a lot of liquid contained in his brain which will hit the skull when itʼs being recklessly shaken.

Just like when the brakes of a shuttle are slammed on, the passengers in it will lean forward uncontrollably even though the vehicle has stopped.

”Ew!”

Li Yao couldnʼt hold it back any longer and started vomiting.

Since heʼd failed to control the intensity, the two waves of dizziness didnʼt offset. Instead, they combined together as if a stun grenade had detonated in his brain, which immediately put him down.

But Li Yao was not the least frustrated. On the contrary, he was excited.

Because his theory had been proved. An external impact could influence the dizziness inside his brain.

If the dizziness could be strengthened, of course it could be weakened.

”Come on now!

”Iʼve got it!

”Letʼs see who can stop me now!”

An hour later.

47 new wounds and 209 new bruises were added to Li Yaoʼs body.

He finally grasped the frequency of dizziness, as well as a special skill named brain concussion.

Although it was not enough to extricate him from the swirl of dizziness, he was able to stand and get back to work now.

”Balance training canʼt be done in a day. Iʼm already doing well with such recovery in such a short time. Letʼs improve it later in the days to come!

”Now, start the crystal suit maintenance!”

Li Yao couldnʼt wait any longer.

Magical equipment maintenance was what he had always been best at!

But after checking the total-loss crystal suits carefully, he found that things were a bit tricky.

What the chief instructor left for him was nothing but scraps that couldnʼt be scrappier.

Crystal suits, as the top magic equipment, boasted a high level of precision.

Key components in the total-loss crystal suits, such as the Super Compressed Crystal Reactor, had all been torn away. The only thing left on each of them was the bare framework.

Just like a dead body without muscles, arteries, nerves, and organs. A pure skeleton.

But still, it was much more complicated than Li Yao had imagined.

It was not Li Yaoʼs biggest problem, since the jade slips that Mao Feng left for him had all the structure designs and maintenance manuals in them.

He had not been asked to modify or upgrade them. Therefore, he only needed to decompose and assemble them according to the illustrations in the jade slips.

It would take some time, but it was not undoable.

The trickier problem was that those crystal suits had decayed in the open air for so long that their components were all utterly rusted, which were as rotten as bones that had been buried underground for decades.

The garbage that had been overlooked for almost a hundred years would be maintained by him and him alone.

”What a bunch of scrap! Theyʼre not crystal suits; theyʼre pure garbage. Theyʼre even worse than the rubbish that I used to gather in the magical equipment graveyard!

”Any other refiner would find himself unable to do anything about it.

”But itʼs me and I have to do my best now!”

Li Yao gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged.

He closed his eyes. His soul returned to the deep down of his brain.

In the middle of the depth of his mind, Ou Yeziʼs Tree of Memories was flickering brilliantly.

40,000 years ago, the Hundred Smelting Clan was a major sect for refiners. It had considerable expertise on magical equipment maintenance.

In the Hundred Smelting Clan, the novices would serve as workers or assistants to help maintain the magical equipment before they started refining formally.

Even Ou Yezi himself had spent a few years on the onerous job of maintaining magical equipment in his early days.

In ancient times, there werenʼt many maintenance tools as today. Everything had to be done with their bare hands.

Many of Ou Yeziʼs memory pieces devoured by Li Yao were related to magical equipment maintenance.

But Li Yao had never studied them before, since heʼd never had the chance to use them.

Now, he watched the hundreds of maintenance jobs done by Ou Yezi while fast forwarding. Then he sank his consciousness into Ou Yeziʼs self and felt the delicacies of the art of magical equipment maintenance in ancient times.

Rolling them over in his mind, Li Yao felt that he was onto something.

He chose another memory piece and went into the first floor of the Heavenly Refining Tower, where he found a book named Seven Ways to Hide Edge and started reading intensively.
