The artist pulls out a weeping willow tree

Chapter 27: Good Luck, Inexplicable Excellence, Auspicious

The head teacher no longer has any chance, but there is still training.

Teacher Chen looked at Jixiang's silly smile and decided to take better care of this little girl.

Teacher Chen’s care has not arrived yet, and Jixiang doesn’t know about it now, but old man Ji’s care has arrived.

Jixiang, who had eaten and drunk his fill at school, mourned the fact that he would not be able to have the free three meals on his days off, and returned home with great regret.

Today, Old Man Ji was still sitting in the old place, on the armchair in the living room, waiting for good luck.

Suddenly I remembered Jixiang, who forgot to write down his notes last night: ...It’s over, don’t check, don’t check, don’t check.

Old Man Ji: "Tomorrow is a day off, remember to finish copying the notes as soon as possible."

Jixiang quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I definitely will."

Then, Jixiang changed the subject and said, "I think I have mastered everything we learned yesterday. Let's learn something new today!"

Old Man Ji knew that Jixiang was trying to change the subject, but he didn't ask further questions and said slowly, "Let me check..."

Although Jixiang looked calm, he had actually pricked up his ears.

Auspicious: Knock nervous.

Old Man Ji paused deliberately before continuing, "If your practical skills are fine, then let's learn new content."

After hearing Jixiang's heavy breathing, he felt that he had been fooled. Unfortunately, Jixiang dared not say anything.

Ji·Congxin·Xiang: ...can bend and stretch, can be suppressed, and can stretch arms and legs.

There is no problem with Jixiang's operation, and the arrangement of the veins is even particularly precise and harmonious, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

The moving picture of Jixiang's spiritual power as it wanders and organizes itself is particularly like a painting. It has both the unrestrained and casual nature of grand opening and closing, and the delicate and subtle gracefulness and brightness. Jixiang obviously treated it as a painting.

But some are treated as sculptures or something like that. In short, Jixiang’s techniques and habits contain many artistic skills that she is good at.

Old Man Ji was very surprised. There is a set of professional techniques and skills for metal vein arrangement. Although everyone has different habits, the general aspects are the same. What Old Man Ji demonstrated yesterday were the most professional techniques and skills.

Jixiang learned it, but he integrated his personal habits too deeply and subtly. Apart from the final result and the professional treatment of subtle details, you can't really tell that he is just organizing the metal veins.

Well, after seeing it, Old Man Ji couldn't help but try it himself immediately, but he couldn't copy it.

Old Man Ji: ...

Old man Ji looked at the clueless Jixiang in surprise and couldn't help asking: "How did you think of arranging the metal veins like this?" Why couldn't he replicate this technique?

Jixiang was confused, "Didn't you teach me?" Isn't that right? This is what Old Man Ji taught me.

Old Man Ji looked at the ignorant Jixiang and felt a little headache. "The techniques you used are very personal. You can't tell that they are the methods I taught you."

“Huh?” Jixiang scratched his head. “I think I learned it pretty well. I followed every step you demonstrated, and it was OK. But it just didn’t suit me. It felt awkward, so I made some minor corrections.” Then I followed my own style. The result was the same anyway.

Old Man Ji: ...I don’t know what to say.

Old Man Ji decided to skip the topic and said, "Continue to learn new things. Every time you change a level of metal, I will show you the points to pay attention to and the strength of mental strength required."

"The techniques and skills I taught you can restore and organize the veins of most common metals on the market."

Jixiang: “Shouldn’t it be all?”

Old Man Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know how to deal with metals that are too precious or rare, or metals that exceed my spiritual power level. However, all methods are based on the same basic principles."

Jixiang: "In other words, once you have learned the basic method, you can figure out how to upgrade on your own?"

"Yes, that's the theory. But depending on the different uses of metals, there are special techniques to stimulate a certain property of a certain piece of metal to its strongest point. This technique is talent, the perception and selection of talent."

Jixiang scratched his head and said, “It sounds like it all depends on luck.” Perception and choice, isn’t that just luck?

Old Man Ji: “Maybe.” Your luck seems to be pretty good.

Seeing that Jixiang seemed to want to continue this topic, Old Man Ji immediately continued: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Your task today is that basket of metal. Now hurry up and study."

Jixiang looked at the basket that Old Man Ji was pointing at, and slowly put on an expression that looked like he was neither crying nor laughing.

Why, this basket is a circle bigger than yesterday’s, it must be a circle bigger!

Old man Ji looked pleased. "There must be something hateful about lazy people. God is watching what people do."

Jixiang: ...I was careless. I must have been discovered yesterday!

The careless Jixiang was forced to take on an additional task.

Old Man Ji turned back halfway through his walk and looked at Jixiang, whose eyes were lifeless. He said slowly, "I have a mental power detector to prevent overuse of mental power, but it has another function..."

Seeing Jixiang's eyes finally moving secretly, Old Man Ji smiled and revealed the answer, "Test your mental tolerance. In other words, don't think about being lazy. I won't let you overuse your mental power, but I won't let you end it easily either."

Jixiang was about to cry, "Grandpa, you are my real grandpa!" You can't be so cruel!

"Okay, I'll adjust according to the situation." Old Man Ji left after saying this.

Jixiang: ...I don't believe you at all, you old man are so bad!
