Chapter 99: Prepare for the Battle

She lowered her head, with a fierce look in her eyes. Qi Xu's principle has always been that I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will kill them completely!

"Tian Lao, it seems that refining the magic tools can't wait any longer. Please go back to the courtyard with Xie Lao and bring all the magic tools here. I will refine them all tonight even if I have to stay up all night."

Qi Xu raised her head again, hiding the anger in her eyes and smiling, "It seems that some bad guys can't wait for us to deal with them together."

It was also the first time that Jiang Hongyi saw her with a forced smile on her face. Even he didn't notice that there was a hint of admiration and pride in his eyes.

Mr. Tian was waiting for her to say this. Before Mr. Xie could even ask, he couldn't wait to pull Mr. Xie towards his yard and said, "No problem, we'll go back and get it." Then he disappeared in a flash.

"All the magical instruments? Can you possibly have the strength to..."

"I'm fine, don't worry, I can handle it. Jiang Hongyi, I'll have to trouble you to look after Grandpa and An'an tonight."

Qi Xu turned around and smiled gently, with the corners of his mouth turned up, looking a bit like a ruffian.

Jiang Hongyi was distracted for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Qi Xu had already returned to the bedroom and started writing and drawing.

Jiang Hongyi knew that he couldn't disturb her at this time, so he went into the room to see if Qi Hong showed any signs of waking up. He also poured a glass of water and used a cotton swab from the medicine box at home to moisten Qi Hong's lips.

Then, I went to the small bedroom to see how An An was doing. Seeing that her breathing was relatively even, I thought there was probably no problem.

He thought again and realized that if Qi Xu kept tempering the magic weapon, it would be time-consuming and laborious, so he went straight to the kitchen and looked around to see if there were any ingredients he could cook.

That's right, he wanted to do something for Qi Xu. Professional things like talismans should be left to professionals, and he had to do what he could.

Normally, he was only responsible for helping out and did not directly participate in cooking. However, he had watched it many times and felt that even if he imitated it, he could probably cook a meal that was almost decent.

"Sizzle... Hiss, hiss..." A burnt smell immediately came from the pot.

The result... was a bit disappointing. Jiang Hongyi's original intention was to help Qi Xu make up for his loss by frying an omelet, but what appeared before his eyes was not a golden omelet, but a burnt "omelet" that could not see the original color of the egg.

He hesitated for two seconds and immediately gave up the idea of ​​giving the egg pancake to Qi Xu. However, he didn't want to waste it, so he took the chopsticks and stuffed it directly into his mouth. He swallowed it with a choked throat, which really made his throat hurt.

Maybe practice makes perfect. After frying two eggs to a crisp, the third egg was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Then, while the heat was just right, he fried the last remaining egg in the house.

Stir-frying is a little difficult, so Jiang Hongyi chose cold dishes. He found some ripe tomatoes at home, cut them into pieces, sprinkled sugar on the top and set them aside.

There were also some green vegetables. He remembered that Qi Xu's previous steps for making cold dishes were to blanch them in water first, then pick them up, squeeze out the water, cut them into small pieces, add chili powder and salt, heat some oil, pour some vinegar over them, and finally add some vinegar. It tasted delicious when you stir it with chopsticks.

Jiang Hongyi looked at the cold dish on the plate. Just to be on the safe side, he took a piece with chopsticks to taste it. He felt relieved when he found that it was not that bad.

Then he put the plate of eggs into the pot to keep them warm, and used a colander to keep the two cold dishes out from mosquitoes.

"Xiao Qi, we're here. These are the only magical weapons we brought with us this time. Could you help me see if we can refine them?"

Just as Jiang Hongyi was about to walk out of the kitchen, he heard Mr. Tian and Mr. Xie coming back.

When he looked up, he saw Qi Xu walking out of their bedroom. "Okay, Elder Tian, ​​Elder Xie, how about you each pick out a magical weapon first, and I'll try to refine it to see if its basic performance will improve?"

She wasn't completely sure, so she suggested testing the waters.

"No problem, let's try the magic weapon that Lao Xie and I often use."

Old Tian took his and Old Xie's magic weapons and placed them in Qi Xu's hands, waving his hand and telling her not to worry and to try them directly.

The tempering process requires calmness and everyone gathered in the living room.

"Why are you worried about your wife?" Old Tian looked at Jiang Hongyi, who had no expression on his face the entire time, and shook his head. "Don't worry, these are just minor issues. Your wife is extremely talented and has good luck. She won't have any problem with tempering a magical weapon."

"No, Mr. Tian, ​​I just blame myself for not being able to help now."

Jiang Hongyi is still a little upset with himself at this stage, feeling that he is no different from a useless person.

"What's the big deal? Academics have their specialties, and no one is omnipotent. Don't overthink it."

Unlike the living room, Qi Xu has already summoned the five elements from the blood bracelet.

The little ghost sat suspended in mid-air, staring at the five elements with a fierce look, and his little tongue unconsciously stretched out to lick his lips.

"Little boy, today's five elements are not meant to fill your stomach. Be good and bear with it. I'll take you to the hot springs for a good meal next time."

Qi Xu noticed its little movements and started to coax it. The little ghost was a little unhappy after hearing this. He turned half a circle with his little butt sticking out. On the surface, he was showing his temper with his back to Qi Xu, but in fact, he was pouting and his mouth was drooping a little aggrievedly.

She looked at the little ghost's childish emotions, smiled and shook her head, spun her arms upwards to allow the five elements to fully merge, and then pushed the five elements around the two magic weapons.

It is visible to the naked eye that the magic weapon begins to absorb the five elements without any rejection. After a few circulations, you will find that the glossiness of the magic weapon is getting better and brighter, and it looks like new.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the magic weapon made a metallic vibration sound, as if it was happy about it.

The surface of the magic weapon began to glow, and Qi Xu could now be sure that he had succeeded.

"Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Xie, please try it out. Have their basic properties improved?"

She immediately put away the five elements and handed the two magic weapons to the two men.

Judging from the color of the magic weapon, it has indeed become much newer. The two elders took their magic weapons back in their hands and began to cast spells.

"Not bad, not bad. Both responsiveness and sensitivity have increased."

"The same thing happens to me. The child has become well-behaved now, and the orders I give can be carried out immediately."

From the bright smiles of the two elders, Qi Xu could tell that they were very satisfied.

"Okay, then I will use this quenching method to improve the performance of the remaining magical instruments."

Qi Xu didn't say much, picked up the remaining magic weapons and went back to the bedroom to start tempering them.

The difficulty this time has increased by more than one level. If she wants to temper all the magic weapons at once, she must block out any external sounds, hold her breath, and concentrate all her energy.
