Outside the weapon-refining hall, Xu Milu sat on the white marble steps, contemplating life. Every now and then, she would look up at the azure sky, her face displaying three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts resistance against the malice that was rushing towards her from this unfaithful world.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

A magnificent magical artifact hung before her, its golden-red light, like flames, enveloping it completely. Two miniature Vermilion Birds fluttered and circled in the firelight, conveying a subtle sense of joy that gave Xu Milu the illusion of a shared understanding.

Just now, when this magical treasure appeared, a red cloud covered the sky above Wuzhuang Temple. Auspicious clouds filled the sky, and flocks of birds circled in the air for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly dissipating. This attracted many passing deities who were drawn to this strange phenomenon and appeared in the air to look at it from afar.

—Everyone assumed that the commotion was caused by Zhen Yuanzi refining weapons in the temple.

Qingfeng, who came to offer his congratulations, clearly didn't understand Xu Milu's thoughts, and said with a mixture of envy and seriousness:

"What a treasure! What a treasure! Its brilliance shines brightly, its treasure aura soars to the sky, and its fiery intent surges and killing intent is palpable. Moreover, it was refined with the Six Ding Divine Fire, so the magic treasure can borrow a trace of the power of the divine fire. It can use the raging fire formation to burn away the enemy army, and it can also use the power of the divine fire to burn away powerful enemies."

What's most remarkable is that these two remnant souls of the Vermilion Birds, nourished by the Phoenix Bones, have already developed sentience. With proper nurturing, they will surely transform into artifact spirits to protect their master. Truly a cause for celebration!

Mingyue, being a woman, was more perceptive. Seeing Xu Milu's unusual expression, she didn't say much, but simply cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.

"Laojun's Six Ding Divine Fire is rare, and with the extraordinary materials used by Junior Sister Xu, she was able to obtain this magic treasure. I congratulate Junior Sister Xu in advance."

"Yes! This magic weapon is extremely fiery. Just looking at it terrifies me. Many of my fellow disciples with water-attribute skills don't dare to get close, for fear of being dried out by this divine fire!"

Aqing chuckled, then examined the magical artifact closely, puzzled, and said, "This artifact is neither a sword nor a knife, neither a fan nor a staff, neither a spear nor a halberd. If used as a knife, it would be too delicate and small. I wonder what the origin of this weapon is?"

Hearing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue were both curious and looked at Xu Milu, waiting for her to introduce her.

It would be a miracle if you guys had actually seen it.

Xu Milu's lips twitched, and she turned her gaze back to the "magic weapon".

It was an extremely exquisite "weapon".

The front part has a perfectly round bottom, with the surrounding area tilted slightly outwards.

The bottom is slightly different in depth, about half a finger's width, with a circle of intricate and delicate feather patterns carved along the edge. The patterns are interwoven with varying shades, and a clear flame pattern extends outward from the center of the bottom, with the unrestrained flames exuding a sense of free and unrestrained beauty.

The handle at the back is slightly shorter, consisting of a palm-length, light-white round stick embedded in the circular part. The material is neither gold nor jade, but it has a warm, ivory-like luster, and it appears to be made from that small piece of phoenix bone.

Turn this object over, and you'll see that the bottom isn't flat. Instead, there's a slender bone that splits into eighteen pieces, supporting the bottom like wings. It looks like several jade joints extending towards the handle, which is rather eerie at first glance.

The most unique feature, of course, is that the round, stick-like handle can be pulled out and transformed into a single-edged short knife that can cut through iron like mud and radiates a cold, gleaming light. The blade is about three inches long, and when it is slightly sliced ​​through the air, it can make the onlookers feel waves of heat.

The two Vermilion Birds seemed to have a clear division of labor: one perched on the circle, while the other perched on the short sword. When they saw Xu Milu looking at them, the two spirits happily landed on her shoulders, completely unaware of their master's inner turmoil.

Xu Milu picked up the weapon she had forged herself, her face calm, but deep inside, sharp explosions were already erupting.

Yes.

This is a frying pan.

She made a frying pan.

No matter how much Aqing praised the pot as "big and round," how cool the phoenix pattern on it was, and how there were two complete Vermilion Bird souls inside, it couldn't change the fact that it was just a frying pan.

It is perfectly thin and has a standard shape. The pot can also release the Six Ding Divine Fire from the bottom, and a knife for processing ingredients can be pulled out from the handle. When needed, the pot and knife can be separated.

Oh, as for what to do with the pots that were separated? Well, just throw them out like discus to kill the enemy.

—This pot is so powerful it even has a built-in gas stove effect. This amazing tool would make Choi Seung-guk shed tears of excitement. Even sellers on PDD wouldn't dare to exaggerate it like this.

Xu Milu didn't understand weapon crafting, but she was greatly impressed.

With so many rare treasures and scarce ores, she even emptied half of her savings to reforge the Vermilion Bird Yin-Yang Blade, and used up the Six Ding Divine Fire given to her by Erlang Shen. And what was the result?

How... how could she possibly create something like this?

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers... even a kitchen knife looks more lethal than a frying pan, right?!

Xu Milu took a deep breath and made a friendly gesture towards the sky.

Great, this has reinforced the stereotype that she's a cook.

Is this a hint from God?

Remind her that if she catches Lavinia, she should skin her, remove her tendons, and cook her into pancakes?

If you get into a fight with someone in the future, the situation might look like this when both parties introduce themselves:

“我是XX山XX真人，师从XX真仙，用的是诛仙剑/灭星阵/流光刀/混元无极八宝扇/五彩霞光缎/离子炮/电磁枪/二向箔吧啦吧啦……”

轮到她，缓缓从袖子里摸出来一口平底锅，跟人家介绍自己是花果山水帘洞齐天大圣美猴王孙悟空的徒弟，用的兵器是一口又圆又大的平底锅，然后当场给对方做个四菜一汤，企图用美食震慑敌人。
