Chapter 162: First Water Station

Chapter 162: First Water Station

Five days later.

A massive change had occurred in the capital. Most importantly, outside the capital.

Two kilometers from the Southern Region Capital, a large river flowed peacefully.

The river was so calm and clean that people could see through it from the surface.

Over a hundred meters from the riverbank, a newly constructed building stood.

Unlike any common building, it was circular with massive black metal pipes coming out of the building.

The black metal pipe was big enough that it would take an adult human to wrap his arms around.

Apart from that, it would take five to ten strong ordinary workers to lift it up and three to four Mortal Rank warriors to carry.

The over ten metal pipes entered the earth and appeared beneath the calm, flowing river like a massive beast opening its maw.

Inside the building, there were many complicated metal pipes forming a web of pipes.

At the center was a massive artifact. It glowed faintly under the dim lights. Around the massive machine were various large degrees of pipes both coming in and going out.

Apart from the notable pipes, the machine was covered in runes. Like a heartbeat, the runes pulsed with energy.

Standing a couple of feet from the massive artifact, Mo Jian and Elder Bai, with others, looked at the machine with pride.

This was their creation.

This was the first time they had created something so simple and complicated at the same time.

Just staring at the various colored pipes would make anyone confused.

"Young Master, should I switch it on?" Elder Bai asked, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Even though he knew this was a giant pumping machine that would draw water from the river, filter it, and send it to the reservoir—

Still, he couldn’t wait to see it.

Something like this had never appeared in the cultivation world before; thus, everyone was excited.

"Of course, switch it on. I can’t wait," Mo Jian responded, with a light smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

After he completed this project, he would complete the system mission, and he couldn’t wait to see the reward.

Besides, the first Mystic Pumping Machine was just a prototype. He planned to create a much better version in the Western Region.

How could the Southern Region enjoy clean tap water while his region still depended on wells and streams?

He would be a fool if he did not create a better version for his region.

Although, that would mean a much better profit.

When Elder Bai received the green light, his steps were swift as he approached the Mystic Water Pumping Machine.

He took out a Mystic Card from the spatial pouch and inserted it into a small chamber in the machine.

Instantly, a light humming emanated from the pumping machine, declaring the calibration of the card was successful.

Elder Bai turned his head and looked at Mo Jian before his eyes shifted to the disciples behind him.

All the disciples held their breath, their eyes shiny with anticipation.

Since they joined the Artifact Refining Hall, they had been learning so much advanced knowledge that made them question what they knew.

Runes in the hall were unlike any other runes they knew, yet they worked much better than the traditional runes.

With such knowledge, they had hoped to join the various projects going on in the Thousand Wealth Chamber or join the Five Stars of the Refining Hall.

Unfortunately, they were not selected until now.

They trembled, afraid to blink their eyes. The atmosphere was both tense and filled with anticipation.

Returning his gaze to the machine, Elder Bai pulled the lever beside the hidden chamber.

Immediately, a rumbling sound echoed inside the building, and the disciples widened their eyes in shock.

Meanwhile, outside the building, the calm, serene river erupted slightly. Fishes and crabs jumped into the air in panic.

The massive pipes beneath the river devoured water like hungry beasts.

Back inside the building, everyone could hear the soft flow of water from the machine.

Apart from that, monitoring artifacts on the machine showed the machine was functioning properly.

There were three monitoring artifacts on the machine: Water Flow Monitoring Artifact, Water Filtration Monitoring Artifact, and Pipe Monitoring.

With these monitoring artifacts, it was easy to detect if anything went wrong.

"Young Master, it’s working," Elder Bai said with an excited voice.

"Haha. Congratulations!" Mo Jian smiled brightly.

"I’m not the only one that created it. It’s everyone’s work—including the Young Master."

The disciples nodded, smiling from ear to ear. Finally, they had created their first powerful artifact.

An artifact so great that it could draw water from the river and send it to tens of kilometers from the river.

How could they not be happy?

Mo Jian nodded, "Let’s go and see the water. I know many of you are dying to see the water."

He turned and looked at the disciples.

"Yes, Young Master. I want to see the water," one of the disciples said with a bright smile.

Although the Mystic Water Pumping Machine was already working, they wanted to experience the novelty of tap water.

Quickly, the group went to a smaller room from the main room.

Inside the room, there were many taps.

Looking at the taps, the disciples could not wait to rush to turn them on.

The disciples looked at Mo Jian and Elder Bai in anticipation, begging with their eyes.

Some of the girls even made puppy eyes, just to be the first person to test the magical taps.

Watching their expressions, Elder Bai couldn’t help but chuckle. ’These rascals, why are they making those shameless expressions?’

Mo Jian shook his head and laughed. "Don’t look at me like that. Go on and test it. Taste the fruit of your hard work."

Ahh!

The disciples did not hesitate and rushed to the taps. Since their numbers were higher than the taps, they had to form a group around the taps.

"Quick! Open it!" a voice shouted excitedly.

The moment they opened the tap, a stream of water flowed down from the taps, and various gasps escaped from the disciples.
