Yuan Zhuoyue listened to it.

It can be heard from Morax's words that he has already sorted out in his mind the sources of the raw stones that can be made into pigments.

It was not for anything else, but just the words "save time" that made Yuan Zhuoyue's heart waver.

What's more, she is penniless now and is completely a poor person with empty pockets.

Then in the end, the responsibility of paying for the ore will inevitably fall on Morax.

After happily making the decision, Yuan Zhuoyue and Morax immediately went to various trading places that mainly dealt in jewelry mines to pick out the raw materials they needed.

Yuan Zhuoyue has limited knowledge, and even now, there is still relevant knowledge that Morax forced into his mind through rote learning and forced growth.

However, there is still a long way to go between knowing this knowledge, understanding it, mastering it, and putting it into practice.

The most Yuan Zhuoyue could tell was that the exposed parts of the raw stones that had not been polished clean were genuine and looked pretty good.

As for other more in-depth evaluations, as a novice in this field, she is unable to make full use of the knowledge she has mastered but cannot apply in practice.

Therefore, the responsibility of selecting suitable raw materials also fell on Morax.

Regarding this, Yuan Zhuoyue's evaluation was the same as always. He said to Morax with great confidence and righteousness: "This is what you should do."

When Morax selected the ore, he was also very particular, even harsh.

In most shops, a dazzling array of raw jewellery is piled up in front of them, ready for them to choose from.

Morax only selected one or two of them. As for the minerals in some shops that did not catch his eye, he just took a quick look and hurried away with Yuan Zhuoyue.

There were also curious people who came forward to ask why they suddenly bought so many gems.

Perhaps he also wanted to find out some way to make money from the mouth of this guest from the Hall of Rebirth.

Although Morax was deliberately concealing the details, he didn't reveal too much. He said vaguely, "I just want to make some pigments."

The shop owner, who was holding an unpolished raw stone, kept gesturing and praising it one after another.

He was stunned on the spot, and the expression on his face changed several times, which was extremely exciting.

After a brief moment of shock, there was an unconcealable sorrow, but after a moment it turned into relief.

Finally, the shop owner, seemingly in a compromised tone, said to Morax, "I see... The pigments made from these gemstones, in Mr. Zhongli's hands, are not an insult..."

As the actual future user, Yuan Zhuoyue remained silent. If she said now that the pigments made from these gems would eventually fall into her hands for use.

I'm afraid this is not the attitude. The shop owner who looks calm now would at least say to her - a waste of resources.

At the end of the day, Yuan Zhuoyue and Morax had a fruitful harvest, although the crowd of onlookers felt that it was indeed a bit extravagant to make pigments from these precious minerals.

However, no one appeared in front of them to comment or give them any advice. The main point was that they didn't understand, but they respected.

Although I don’t know why Mr. Zhongli did this, since he did this, he must have a reason for doing so.

Morax also said that the necessary minerals have been collected and they can start making pigments now.

Yuan Zhuoyue had seen videos on how to make mineral pigments, although the subsequent techniques might be slightly different from the pigments used in painting and calligraphy.

But the general steps can also be classified as breaking it up and then grinding it into powder.

When Yuan Zhuoyue watched it, he felt that the sight and sound of the ores being smashed by hammers were very relaxing.

But now looking at Morax, he smashed the gems into pieces with a few hammer strikes.

Yuan Zhuoyue believed that the expression on his face was similar to the distressed expressions of the bosses when they just learned that these gems would be made into paint.

Although she felt sad, the ore had already been smashed, and the pigments were exactly what she needed.

Yuan Zhuoyue immediately took action, gathering the gem fragments neatly into the mortar, and then using the pestle, began to grind the fragments into powder for later use.

After a long time, the mud embryos had been fermented and could be used directly. Yuan Zhuoyue's patience gradually wore out and he became a little irritable.

After working without restraint and smashing several mortars, Morax finally declared their massive project of making pigments complete.

Yuan Zhuoyue, who had been looking forward to firing porcelain for a long time, finally had the time to fulfill his wish and show his skills.
