Chapter 31 Let the senior uncles decide.
This layer of paper is slightly drier and more resilient than the previous divine script effect!
It can be easily sliced into layers, and because it has less moisture, it dries more easily.
It's it!
"Quick-drying surface, as thick as a mulberry leaf!"
A few steps away, Huo Erdan's surprised voice suddenly rang out: "Hey, Yanzi, the pulp in your bucket is a bit dry! But it looks very shiny!"
Wang Yan looked up and saw Huo Erdan standing in front of him, peeking out at him.
Wang Yan, who was sitting down, immediately laughed: "I changed to a new divine script. It saves Xuan Qi and is drier, but it can still be peeled off. Do you want to rest for a bit? Come down, and I'll go up and try it."
"It's done?" Huo Erdan immediately jumped down from the edge of the paper-forming pool and rushed over, exclaiming in a low voice, "It's really done? So fast?"
"You'll only know once you try!" Wang Yan said this, but he was already quite certain in his heart. His smile widened, and he quickly stood up: "You can come down now!"
&
Several dozen breaths later.
Zhang Erbao and Ma Sanni, who came to cut the paper, looked at the cardboard in the pool in surprise: "It's a little drier than before. Come on, let's try cutting some!"
Manager Qiu also hurried over, watching the two deftly cut thin layers of cardboard from the pulp vat with cardboard, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "They really succeeded?"
Wang Yan carefully examined the cardboard, saying uncertainly, "We'll know if it works after they cut and dry it! If it doesn't, I'll cover the loss! If it does, I'll apply for approval."
Move it away and let it air dry.
Then solidify, cut again, and dry again.
After repeating this five times, Wang Yan went with Steward Qiu to the paper drying rack more than a hundred meters away to check the first cut of paper under the gradually setting sun.
Looking at the dry, smooth paper, Steward Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It's dry already? That's much faster than before!"
Wang Yan touched the slightly tough yet thin paper, and a slight smile curved his lips in delight.
This is not the divine writing of those great literary figures from my previous life, but something I came up with myself based on my knowledge from my previous life!
It is still faster than the original divine script of this world.
"The value of my six-petaled literary flower far surpasses that of Deng Jianghui's five-petaled one!"
At this moment, another manager, Mr. Qiao, also came over curiously, touched the surface of the cardboard, and commented with the same surprise: "It's a little thinner than the previous cardboard, but it's more durable."
"How about cutting it into smaller pieces?" Manager Qiu eagerly sought Manager Qiao's opinion.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
A few breaths later, they compared the cut pieces of paper with the dried Xuanqi paper that they had peeled off earlier, and Manager Qiao's eyes lit up immediately.
"The proportions are the same, but the divine runes used to form the paper have changed. It dries faster, has greater load-bearing capacity, and is slightly thinner. If everyone uses this new divine rune, our production speed for blank talisman paper will increase a bit!"
Wang Yan smiled and agreed, "My two senior uncles are right!"
Steward Qiu's gaze shifted, and he boldly suggested, "Then, let's submit this new paper along with the old talisman paper, and let our senior uncles decide which type of paper we need from now on?"
"agree!"
Wang Yan immediately reminded them, "This has another advantage: it consumes less Xuan Qi, allowing the person forming the paper to last longer."
"Uncles, why don't we add this clause as well? We'll report it first, and then wait for the hall master to decide whether to change it. I'll then go to the Divine Script Hall to submit the report."
"Alright!" Manager Qiu looked at him with great emotion. "However, you've been here for a month now, why didn't you think of changing this before?"
"I never had the chance to work with paper before," Wang Yan said innocently, spreading his hands. "I was always cutting paper, so tired that all I wanted to do was rest. I didn't have the energy to think about it at all."
"I tried several times today, taking turns with Erdan, before it suddenly came to mind. You know, the previous batches I tried weren't good enough. Maybe I was just lucky to find the right divine script so quickly!"
A glint of surprise appeared in Steward Qiu's eyes, and he quickly laughed, "Yes, Junior Brother Wang, your luck is getting better and better! By the way, let's continue using the old divine runes to solidify the paper for now, and we'll change it after the Hall Master decides whether to use the new ones."
"Okay!" Wang Yan did not object.
Then, Manager Qiu summoned another group of two people and gestured for them to use the new paper-forming pool next to them to form paper: "This is for your exclusive use. Do your job well. If you don't form paper properly, I will dismiss you as well."
Wang Yan recognized the two level-two spirit sprouts; they had gone to the Divine Script Hall with him that morning. They were wealthy and usually did a decent job.
"The paper drying yard is increasing its workload too. Oh well, I'm just a little spirit sprout, what can I do? I'd better just focus on my work."
After the agreed-upon hour had passed, Wang Yan looked up at the bright sun, silently gave in to the Xuan Qi, and then smiled contentedly.
Cutting and moving paper are physically demanding tasks, but this solidified paper is extremely beneficial for the precise control of Xuan power.
"It doesn't require much physical exertion, but if you want to do it well, you need to concentrate, and it gets tiring easily."
He sincerely thanked Steward Qiu, and then went to the Temple of Xi with Huo Erdan.
They had just reached the back of the line and were about to queue when Deacon Guo, who was guarding the entrance of the main hall, waved to them from afar: "Wang Yan, come on, Grandmaster Deng of the Divine Script Hall instructed that you don't need to queue now, hurry up and go in!"
Feeling the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Wang Yan bowed to Steward Guo in a good mood and was escorted by the flowing light in front of the hall to a newly vacated seat.
"My cultivation has increased slightly, so the interval between writing the character 'divine' can be shortened a little."
Just before dinner, Wang Yan, pretending to be covered in sweat, wrote four more second-tier divine characters and even wrote half of the character "融" (rong) before being announced outside the hall.
Go back, take a shower, do laundry, and eat.
There has been no word from Manager Qiu at the harvest site yet.
Wang Yan then asked Huo Erdan, "I'm going to the Alchemy Hall to exchange for weapons and pills, are you coming?"
Huo Erdan excitedly wiped his wet hands on his waist and replied, "I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Fifteen minutes later, under the cover of darkness, they arrived at the Pill and Weapon Hall, which was open to outer disciples, and entered the spacious service hall on the first floor.
……
At the same time, in the brightly lit servants' hall, Yao Qiufeng, the hall master who was in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, unexpectedly compared the old and new paper sheets presented by Steward Qiu and Steward Qiao.
"This thinner one, is it the new divine script that Wang Yan came up with? Why didn't he think of it before?"
After Manager Qiu explained Wang Yan's reasons with a forced smile, Yao Qiufeng suddenly realized, "That's true, cutting cardboard is indeed hard work..."
Holding his beloved porcelain teapot in one hand, he took a few sips of tea, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he made a decision: "In that case, I will first present this new cardboard to the inner sect so that the talisman masters can try it out and see if they need it."
"Until they give us an answer, we will only use the new pool under Wang Yan's jurisdiction to solidify the new paper. For the other pools, we will continue to use the old divine script to solidify the paper."
"Yes!" Steward Qiu and Steward Qiao replied simultaneously.
Then, Steward Qiu asked with a forced smile, "Since Wang Yan and Huo Erdan only work for one hour a day, can we use the new pool after they leave?"
