Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: A Bold Hypothesis
Ji You ignored Fourth, that slacker strand, and called out for Old Five to get ready.Old Five immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest: [Master, rest assured, Old Five will definitely work hard.]
Ji You narrowed her eyes. "Mm, let’s both do our best and try to nail it in one go."
Then—
Ji You moved all the junk off the workbench, clearing out a larger area, then laid the cut black Companion Stone Slabs flat on the table.
Instead of carving directly, Ji You picked up a pen and tapped a few times on the Stone Slab, sketching out a rough outline before actually starting work.
Gripping the carving knife, Ji You held her breath and focused, and made the first cut.
Zi-zi-zi~
The stone and carving knife collided with a faint sound, and Ji You concentrated on carving.
Because this Array Diagram was extremely simple, Ji You had thought at first that it would be a breeze. She held the carving knife while Old Five guided her spiritual power as it flowed.
Bit by bit, the Array Diagram gradually took shape.
Ji You didn’t even have time to breathe in relief!
Old Five shouted: [No good! Run! Run! Run!]
Ji You: "..."
Bang!
With a loud boom, the Stone Slab on the workbench let out an extremely ungraceful sound and then exploded right into Ji You’s face.
Ji You: "..."
The entire Stone Slab turned to ash, spraying a mouthful of dust all over Ji You. She scrubbed her face hard before she could open her eyes.
"Peh peh peh!!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Ji You spat out dust while coughing.
Old Five covered his face: [Master, I told you already, why didn’t you run?]
"You could’ve run first and then come back to tell me." Ji You’s face was dark. "You could at least give me a second to run, yeah?"
Hearing that, Old Five instantly felt a little guilty: [Got it! Next time I’ll definitely warn Master first, then run.]
Ji You instructed the house cleaning system to quickly tidy the tabletop, then went back to work.
And then—
She failed again.
The third time, the fourth, the fifth...
Watching the pile of cut Stone Slabs dwindle until only the final one remained, Ji You’s face turned dark.
Making low-level soul artifacts had never been this hard. So why was just carving an Array Diagram this difficult?
Where exactly was the problem?
Was the carrier not up to par? Was it because the Companion Stone and paper were both too fragile?
Or was it that her spiritual power wasn’t enough, so the Array Diagram couldn’t properly form?
Ji You thought for a while, then decided to try once more.
Right now, Ji You’s face was covered in dust, her hair blown up into a frizzy mess by the explosions, and her clothes were filthy. But she didn’t care—no time, absolutely no time to fuss over that. She just raised a hand, scrubbed her face once, pulled out the last Stone Slab, and summoned Old Five.
