Lu Gang and the rest of the Lu Family frowned but said nothing.
Lu Gang was marking out the divisions, since it had to be split into ten portions.
Without a compass, it really was difficult for him. He held a tree branch and gestured over it.
The ten portions he marked out were obviously uneven.
Zhang Yuchen limped over and spoke directly.
"Senior Gang, some of your portions are big and some are small. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Lu Gang frowned at that.
"I've already divided them fairly. Without a compass, how can I divide it properly?"
Seeing this, I spoke up.
"Let me do it! I can divide it evenly!"
Lu Gang froze for a moment, while Lu Zheng rolled his eyes.
"You think your eyes are a compass? High cultivation doesn't mean you can divide it properly!"
Several Lu Family disciples led by Lu Zheng also chimed in.
"Exactly. Don't shortchange our Lu Family when the time comes."
"I think he just wants a bigger share for himself."
"Heh heh..."
I looked at them and sneered disdainfully.
Without a compass or a marked ruler, dividing a circle into ten equal portions would be difficult for an ordinary person.
But for me, it really wasn't hard.
First, find two straight branches. Determine the midpoint of one branch and divide it equally.
Then, using that branch, find the center of the circle.
Draw any two parallel chords, and the intersection of their perpendicular bisectors would be the center.
With the center found, I could use the golden-ratio construction method.
That would construct a regular decagon inscribed within the circle, allowing it to be divided into ten equal parts.
I said nothing more. Using a straight branch, I began drawing directly on the spherical taro.
I used cinnabar ink to make
