Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 328 - 189: The Small Shock You Su Brought to the Builders (Part 3)

Even Ji Lingruo, with her charmingly arrogant personality, was embarrassed upon hearing, and quietly reminded, "Why are you attacking others for no reason?"

Wangshu Fairy looked bewildered: "I didn’t attack Mr. Fang, I just asked what I saw."

Heaven have mercy, this clear-minded girl indeed harbored no malice. Mr. Fang also wore a wry smile, feeling that even the autumn sun was so fierce.

"What Senior Sister said is right, but it further illustrates the greatness of those at Earth and Wood Peak. For the foundation of the Human Race, they endure the elements year-round; they’re indeed admirable people." You Su educated.

Wangshu Fairy nodded in agreement, sighing, "The people of Earth and Wood Peak are really great. Mr. Fang, you must always be a very good person."

"Of course..."

Ji Lingruo looked at Mr. Fang’s unpleasant expression and forcibly held back her laughter for the sake of her new residence.

...

"This is the speed of Earth and Wood!"

You Su used his Divine Sense to survey the newly remodeled yet very familiar little courtyard, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

With merely a few words from Junior Sister, this small courtyard was essentially rebuilt one-to-one to match the layout of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect, with an additional custom-made lavish room for Ji Lingruo.

Moreover, the facilities inside the room were more user-friendly, such as the kitchen and bathing room. Mr. Fang led the disciples to lay pipes underground, drawing Spiritual Spring Water from not far away, sealing the pipe mouth with a special array to open as needed. This way, there’s no need to go out fetching water anymore for washing vegetables, clothes, or bathing.

And all these constructions, the disciples of Earth and Wood Peak completed in just half a day, finishing everything before sunset.

"Mr. Fang, one day I’ll personally present a silk banner with the words ’Infrastructure Devil’ to express my admiration for you."

You Su saluted respectfully, still addressing him as Senior Brother as a sign of respect.

"Junior Brother is kidding, these are just simple tasks. Tomorrow I’ll return to pave the mountain road for you, but Lotus Peak is extremely rugged, even paved roads are difficult to traverse, I hope Junior Brother can understand this."

Mr. Fang helped You Su up, feeling guilty for not being able to come up with a solution.

The problem of difficult uphill and downhill is indeed hard to resolve. Mr. Fang has thought of many solutions but due to various factors, paving the road seems to be the most feasible option.

"This is not an issue of Earth and Wood Peak, Senior Brother should not blame himself."

You Su stroked his chin, suddenly recalling something, and continued, "But I do have a method that might alleviate the burden of climbing the mountain, though it’s a bit troublesome to construct."

"Junior Brother You has a method?"

Mr. Fang’s eyes showed surprise, but the disciples behind him seemed disdainful. The expertise of Earth and Wood Peak is considered extremely strong among the mountain peaks, suggestions from outside Earth and Wood Peak usually are impractical.

Previously, Earth and Wood Peak suffered severe losses from following outsiders’ proposals, so later the Peak Master decreed that construction matters should be decided solely by Earth and Wood Peak people, outsiders could only make requests.

Over time, this became a custom. People from Earth and Wood Peak couldn’t compare with other immortals wielding swords flamboyantly, so not much to be proud of, except for this expertise. That’s why they viewed You Su’s upcoming suggestion with disdain.

But Mr. Fang was reluctant to outright reject You Su, because interacting with You Su felt very comfortable, so he just replied tactfully:

"Junior Brother, feel free to speak, if it’s feasible, I might consider it."

Despite this, he was already prepared to reject after hearing You Su’s idea.

You Su, receiving permission, said:

"Does Mr. Fang know how people from the mundane world draw water from wells?"

"Naturally with a winch, using ropes to lift the water bucket," one Earth and Wood Peak disciple behind Fang immediately answered, thinking that outsiders are just outsiders, boasting with such basic knowledge in front of them, truly fearless in ignorance.

"Exactly, but do you also know what the fastest irrigation tool is in mundane farmlands?" You Su continued asking.

This time, the disciples behind him fell silent, so Mr. Fang answered:

"It’s the dragon bone waterwheel, human drives the wheel, the wheel drives the axle, one axle rises as another descends, each axle spills water like pouring jade."

You Su nodded affirmatively, the wisdom of mortals cannot be underestimated. Whether in writing, medicine, or construction, immortals often see themselves as superior, neglecting mortal intelligence. Mr. Fang’s attention to this point already deserves You Su’s respect.

"There are links, a ladder axle, a dragon bone, not to mention a drive wheel and steering wheel, thus not only for water transport but also human transport." You Su enlightened, "Mortals can’t build a dragon bone ladder for humans, but this afternoon Mr. Fang introduced me to the giant divine wood poured with Earth and Wood Peak’s heart and soul, hence I dared to conceive this."

"This..."

Mr. Fang was obviously shocked by this idea. The noticeable difference between immortals and mortals in Earth and Wood principles is productivity, allowing them to complete in half a day tasks that would take mortals half a month. But this also reduced their consideration for solving engineering problems compared to mortals.

"Of course, if truly built, it can’t be slanted. I think we can create a combination of a winch and dragon bone waterwheel, vertically between heaven and earth, people like water in a basket, providing ascent and descent. And the whole process treads on solid ground, immune to disturbing winds, this ladder is more fitting for the majestic Earth and Wood Peak than Lotus Peak."

When You Su finished presenting his conception, everyone including Mr. Fang from Earth and Wood Peak was speechless in awe. No longer daring to understate You Su, they all felt that this proposal was truly practical!

"Junior Brother You! You are truly a genius!"

Mr. Fang excitedly placed his hand on You Su’s shoulder:

"Your proposal is very constructive! This will be the most valuable design in nearly a thousand years for Earth and Wood Peak! I’ll report to the master now! Once approved, we’ll gather the entire peak’s power to construct this ladder for Lotus Peak! Come on, let’s descend the mountain!"

Without You Su even having a chance to stop them, Mr. Fang eagerly led the disciples down the mountain.

On the bumpy mountain road, one disciple hesitantly asked:

"Mr. Fang, though You Su’s method is nice, shouldn’t be exaggerated as ’the strongest in a thousand years’? It just solves the inconvenience of climbing stairs on Earth and Wood Peak, we all have cultivation, isn’t actually very tiring?"

Under Mr. Fang’s simple appearance, his eyes sparkled:

"What do you know! You only focus on the height of Earth and Wood Peak, does that count as Earth and Wood person? You have to see the heavens unattainable for millions of years!"

"Once verified, even mortals... could have the chance to step onto the celestial ladder, ascend to the heavens in one step!"
