Chapter 255 I admit that you are stronger than me
After finishing a morning's work, Bai Lu Shuanghua enjoyed a brief period of leisure.
After lunch, Xinyang and Linghua strolled hand in hand down the street. Linghua mentally tallied up the morning's bills and said, "I suddenly realized how incompetent I am as a business owner. I haven't properly worked in the shop in ages. I didn't realize our milk tea was so popular."
Xinyang squeezed Linghua's hand and said, "Don't say that. You've had other important things to do these days, so it's understandable that you don't have time to pay attention to the business in the store. I don't know how the magic weapon that Master made for Jiaming is progressing. How about we go..."
Before Xinyang could finish, two familiar figures appeared not far away. Upon closer inspection, they were Xianyun and Jiaming.
Xianyun was holding a bamboo star that was twice as big as the previous one and was explaining it to Jiaming with great interest. Jiaming looked very focused and nodded and asked questions from time to time.
Xinyang and Linghua exchanged a glance, both filled with surprise, and hurried over. "Master, Jiaming, is the magic weapon ready?" Xinyang asked with a smile.
Xianyun smiled and shook his head, gently shaking the enlarged bamboo star in his hand. "It's not completely healed yet, but I've made some key progress. I modified the bamboo star, and now it can bear a greater weight, and its stability has been greatly improved. However, its flexibility is still far from enough. I just had Jiaming stand on it to try it out, but he fell off because the bamboo star was not flexible enough."
Jiaming scratched his head embarrassedly. "Oh, Aunt Xianyun, this magic weapon is already very powerful. I was too excited just now and it fell from above. As long as I practice more, I will be able to use it by the Lantern Festival."
Xin Yang used the Healing Wind to check Jia Ming's body and found that he was fine. She advised, "Jia Ming, safety always comes first. During the Lantern Festival, you will be performing the animal dance on the sea. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unbearable."
Xianyun nodded: "Xinyang is right, this is a flaw in the magic weapon. For your safety, I can't give you this half-finished product."
Linghua looked at Xianyun seriously and continued, "Master, shouldn't we think of a way to improve Bamboo Star's flexibility? After all, Jiaming will be performing at sea during the Lantern Festival, and the performance of the magic weapon is extremely demanding."
Xianyun frowned slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "I've been thinking about this as well, but the beast dance requires too much flexibility. I don't have any good ideas for now. Could you all help me think of something?"
Linghua suggested: "Can we make Zhuxing smaller? If the body can be smaller, it will naturally be more flexible."
Xianyun shook his head and rejected it: "No, this is already the smallest size. If it's any smaller, Jiaming might miss a step, and the loss will outweigh the gain."
Xinyang took the bamboo star from Xianyun's hand and examined it carefully for a moment. "Master, since placing the bamboo star at the foot isn't flexible enough, why don't we place it above us?"
"That's one possible solution, but wouldn't it be unsightly to wear a bamboo star on your head when performing the animal dance?"
Jiaming scratched his head, a little hesitant. "Yes, the beast dance requires both form and spirit. If there is a bamboo star on the head, it will destroy the overall beauty. The audience will probably find it strange."
"Then put the bamboo star higher!"
Just as everyone was hesitating, a sudden voice was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gui Zhong jumping towards them, followed by Zhongli.
"Sister Guizhong, why are you here?"
"Zhongli and I just finished our meal and were planning to take a walk to digest our food when we ran into you guys."
Xianyun asked, "Guizhong, what did you mean when you said to put the bamboo star higher?"
Gui Zhong took the Bamboo Star and explained, "If we're not mistaken, this Bamboo Star relies on your elemental power, Xianyun, to function, right?"
Xianyun nodded in agreement.
Gui Zhong continued, "Then if we replace the device that stores elemental energy in this magic weapon with a more sophisticated energy-gathering crystal, it will be able to more efficiently collect and transform the surrounding elemental energy, giving the Bamboo Star more stable and powerful power. In this way, the Bamboo Star can be placed higher, and you can personally control the amount of elemental energy, allowing you to precisely adjust the effect of the Bamboo Star's immortal power boost."
Zhongli took over the conversation, "During the Lantern Festival, there will be countless kites in the sky. At that time, Zhuxing can hide among them and will not affect the viewing experience of the beast dance."
Xianyun suddenly realized: "So this is the method? We can give it a try."
After saying this, Xianyun skillfully disassembled the Bamboo Star and modified it on the spot. Guizhong watched from the side, occasionally pointing out areas where the structure could be improved. The two of them worked in perfect harmony.
Soon, Zhuxing was transformed.
Jiaming couldn't wait to ask, "Aunt Xianyun, can I try it now?"
Xianyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, but you have to be careful. Don't be too hasty when you first start controlling it."
After saying that, Xianyun threw the bamboo star into the air, and Jiaming also put on the animal head, and slowly Jiaming floated in the air.
"Wow, I succeeded!" Jiaming shouted excitedly and tried to do a few simple beast dancing moves in the air.
Gui Zhong clapped his hands and shouted with a smile: "Jia Ming, see if you can do some more complicated movements."
Jiaming took a deep breath and then began to spin, while coordinating his dancing posture and simulating the classic moves in the animal dance.
Xianyun also controlled Zhuxing to cooperate with Jiaming.
After the action was finished, Jiaming shouted excitedly: "Aunt Xianyun, I feel fine, just like I am on flat ground."
"Okay, let's go to the sea and try it."
They arrived at the beach, where the sea breeze caressed their faces and the waves gently lapped the shore. Xianyun tossed the Bamboo Star into the air again. Jiaming skillfully put on the animal head and, using the power of the Bamboo Star, slowly ascended into the air, hovering steadily above the sea.
Jiaming began to perform his animal dance tricks. With his agile form, he coordinated with Bamboo Star's movements, performing a brilliant dance in the air. Under Xianyun's control, Bamboo Star flexibly shifted its position and height, complementing Jiaming's performance.
After the performance, Jiaming returned to shore smoothly, his face full of excitement. "Aunt Xianyun, this was fantastic! The Sea Lantern Festival is sure to attract everyone's attention!"
Xianyun smiled and nodded. "Don't be too happy too soon. It's better to practice more. But it's getting late today. You should go eat."
After thanking Xianyun, Jiaming skipped away to eat.
Xianyun walked over to Guizhong and said, "Guizhong, I admit that you are more talented than me in mechanical engineering, but I don't think I am worse than you. When can we have another competition?"
"No need to compare, I admit that you are stronger than me."
