150: Chapter 150 Branch

Qingyuan Su Family.

A loud explosion came from the Inner Courtyard, and in an instant, black smoke drifted out of the room.

Su Xuanjing skillfully cast a Spell, clearing away the shattered fragments of the Magical Artifact, and in the blink of an eye, the room was as good as new.

"I'm sorry, Third Young Miss, your subordinate is truly foolish and cannot learn Spirit Attachment," An Ziyao said with a face full of shame.

"The problem isn't that your brain is foolish; it's that you can't calm your mind."

Su Xuanjing poked her slender finger at An Ziyao's forehead and said crossly, "How many times have I told you? Calm your mind, calm your mind, calm your mind! You can only stay calm for the first fifteen minutes, and then you start getting restless. I really don't know how you refine your Magical Artifacts. Doesn't Artifact Refining require a calm mind?"

An Ziyao didn't dare to look up and said sheepishly, "Artifact Refining is mainly about controlling the fire. It doesn't matter if I'm a bit impatient. Besides, I can refine multiple Magical Artifacts at once. If I want to refine faster, I just refine a few more, so I won't feel restless."

Hearing this, Su Xuanjing couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead, wondering if she should find someone else to train.

The Su Clan Chamber of Commerce's Spirit-Attaching Technique had become completely famous. More and more Cultivators were purchasing spirit-attached Magical Artifacts and spirit-attached puppets, leading to the Su Family's production capacity being unable to keep up.

The Su Family had to train a group of Cultivators to learn the Spirit-Attaching Technique, but this technique was difficult to learn and had to be handed over to Cultivators the Su Family could trust.

Therefore, Su Xuanjing first looked for An Ziyao because he was an Artifact Refiner and was most familiar with the structure of Magical Artifacts, which could lower the learning cost of Spirit Attachment.

However, after teaching him for over a month, An Ziyao was still unable to successfully perform Spirit Attachment.

Su Xuanjing couldn't help but wonder, was she the only one who could succeed at Spirit Attachment?

"No! Dad definitely knows how to do it too!"

Su Xuanjing clapped her hands, remembering her omnipotent father. Since she could remember, she had never seen anything her father couldn't master.

Even if it was the Legacy of the Illusory Sound Sect, her father could learn it, though his mastery was a bit slower.

If others couldn't learn a technique, her dad definitely could!

If she let her dad learn Spirit Attachment and then use his teaching method to guide An Ziyao, it might work!

Su Xuanjing felt she was a Genius, so she rushed noisily towards Ting Lake.

"Dad! An Ziyao is too stupid, I want you to teach him."

Su Yang, who was resting with his head on his wife's lap, trembled at his daughter's shout.

"Dad, how old are you? Why are you still resting on Mom's lap?" When Su Xuanjing saw the two under the pavilion, she couldn't help but tease with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of being called undignified for your age?"

What an "undignified for his age"!

Su Yang's face darkened upon hearing this, almost spitting blood from his unfilial daughter's words.

Qin Jiangmei covered her mouth and chuckled, saying softly, "Jing'er, don't talk nonsense. You're not married yet, so you naturally don't understand the reason behind it."

"What reason could there be?"

Su Xuanjing rolled her eyes, completely not understanding what her mother was saying, then remembered her purpose for coming: "Dad, have you learned the Spirit-Attaching Technique I left in the Library Pavilion? If not, I'll teach you. You'll definitely learn faster than An Ziyao."

As she spoke, she poured a cup of tea for her father, coaxing him with a beaming smile to calm down and not let his anger ruin his health.

Su Yang took the tea and gulped it down, then snorted, "I've learned it. I even restructured your Spirit Attachment teaching steps. However, I won't teach An Ziyao; you will continue to teach him."

It was rare for life to be so peaceful, and he wanted to enjoy it more.

"Restructured my Spirit Attachment teaching steps?" Su Xuanjing's eyes suddenly lit up. "Dad, where is the problem with my Spirit Attachment teaching?"

She had actually wondered if others couldn't learn Spirit Attachment because of her teaching.

But she couldn't find the reason and could only guide based on her own experience.

Su Yang took a deep breath, and after calming down, he said, "Although Spirit Attachment is derived from Talismans, it cannot be taught as a Talisman. Instead, it must be treated as a completely new technique. Once a learner has a preconceived notion, their thinking will become rigid, leading to slow progress."

As he spoke, he took out a Jade Slip from his storage ring and handed it over.

"This is my modified Spirit-Attaching Technique. You and An Ziyao both take a look."

Su Xuanjing's Divine Sense entered the slip, and she was extremely surprised after reading the contents.

Her dad had not only changed the teaching method of the Spirit-Attaching Technique but also added many small tips and even modified the concept of Spirit Attachment.

Many of the details were things even she, the founder of Spirit Attachment, hadn't realized!

"Dad, you're awesome!"

Su Xuanjing exclaimed, and Da Hei, who was soaking in the lake, subconsciously looked up.

"Get lost once you're done reading."

Su Yang waved his hand dismissively and then lay back down on his wife's long legs.

Qin Jiangmei smiled gently, her fair hand lightly stroking her husband's handsome face.

"Then I won't disturb you and Mother." Su Xuanjing left contentedly.

"Are you letting Jing'er teach Ziyao Spirit Attachment to take the opportunity to set them up?"

Qin Jiangmei asked softly.

Su Yang enjoyed his wife's caress and said with a light smile, "Actually, it's just a coincidence. The Family only has Ziyao as an Artifact Refiner, and every Magical Artifact produced has to be spirit-attached by Xuanjing. I thought I might as well let Ziyao learn Spirit Attachment so he can complete the Spirit Attachment step directly while refining artifacts. This saves a step and gives Xuanjing more time to Cultivate."

"Later, let Ziyao teach the clansmen Artifact Refining and Spirit Attachment to expand the production of spirit-attached Magical Artifacts."

"In this way, both Ziyao and Xuanjing will have more cultivation time and time to research high-level Artifact Refining and Spirit-Attaching Techniques."

Su Xuanjing has a True Spiritual Root, and An Ziyao has a Mixed Spiritual Root plus a Fire Spirit Body.

With such excellent Aptitude, how could they waste their time on production?

Previously, their skill levels were still in the improvement stage, so it was reasonable to allocate some time to production.

But now, both have encountered Bottlenecks in their techniques due to insufficient cultivation, and both Artifact Refining and Spirit Attachment have stalled at the second rank.

At this time, the time previously used for researching techniques should be reinvested into cultivation, rather than being used to produce spirit-attached Magical Artifacts.

"The Family is growing larger and larger, and the division of labor is slowly becoming disorganized. Husband should plan the Family's branch halls well."

Qin Jiangmei reminded him softly.

Su Yang agreed deeply, "It is indeed necessary to have a clear division of labor. Xuanming mentioned this to me. He has already planned to establish: the Clan Affairs Institute, the Auxiliary Path Institute, and the Hundred Herbs Hall."

"Among them, the Clan Affairs Institute has the greatest authority and is responsible for managing many miscellaneous Family affairs, such as managing servants, gathering intelligence, patrolling the clan grounds, and managing Family industries."

"The Director of the Clan Affairs Institute will temporarily be held by Su Xuanming, with Ruan Ning and Ji Ya serving as Deputy Directors."

"The Hundred Herbs Hall manages the Family's spirit plants. The Director position will be given to Luo Qian, and the Deputy Director will be selected by Luo Qian himself."

"The Auxiliary Path Institute is responsible for teaching the clansmen the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. The Director will be held by Xuanjing, with Ziyao and Su Xuanling serving as Deputy Directors."

Now that the Su Family is a Foundation Establishment Family, if the division of labor is not clear, randomly assigning tasks is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to hold someone accountable when problems occur.

As the Family grows further, the Clan Affairs Institute and the Auxiliary Path Institute will be further subdivided into more branch halls.
