A short while later, Fang Tong divided the spider silk into two bundles, one large and one small, and announced the final result. "Sixty jin in total."
Then he pointed to the smaller pile of darker silk beside it.
"However, these ten jin contain quite a few impurities. I'm afraid they don't meet the standards for making inner armor. They can only be considered defective goods."
Of the sixty jin, fifty met the standard.
The pass rate was over eighty percent!
That was quite good.
Lin Ke was very satisfied with this result and said calmly, "Having this much usable silk on our first attempt has already exceeded expectations."
As he spoke, he pulled out a handful of spider silk and tugged it between his hands.
"Squeak, squeak-"
Several strands of spider silk were twisted together. His tremendous strength failed to pull them apart; they merely creaked faintly.
Clearly, the quality was good, too.
He put the silk back, then told Fang Tong, "Store the usable silk properly. Have your people spin it into thread within the next day or two, so I can have people from the sect inspect it."
Fang Tong had quite a few women with deft hands working under him.
Although they were not cultivators, they had experience raising Blackgold Silkworms, so their silk-reeling skills should be fairly good.
Giving them the Ghost Titan Spider silk to process according to the Hundred-Spider Breeding Manual would be much faster than having Lin Ke and the others do it themselves.
Fang Tong nodded. "Understood, exalted immortal."
But as he turned, he noticed the ten jin of impure silk that had been separated out. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Then these defective goods..."
"Keep them for now." Lin Ke waved a hand. "I have another use for them."
