Chapter 57: "Then I will shamelessly accept it..."

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it." Taiyi Zhenren quickly put the seabed gold and mother-of-pearl sand into his sleeves. He put his left hand behind his back, stroked his beard with his right, and asked reservedly, "I wonder what you need my help with, nephew? Are you lacking a suitable magic weapon? Do you need me to refine one for you?"

When it comes to refining equipment, they are professional in Chanjiao.

And he, Taiyi Zhenren, was the most outstanding among the second generation of disciples. Aside from the leader, no one in the entire Chan Sect could surpass him in this respect.

Fu Li said, "Yes and no."

She asked Lingzhuzi to take out the time magic weapon Zhao Gongming had given her and handed it to Taiyi Zhenren. "Uncle Master, can you please take a look at this magic weapon? Is there any room for improvement? If we want to mass-produce it, are there any more cost-effective materials that can replace the raw materials of this magic weapon?"

Upon hearing that it was a magic weapon refined by Zhao Gongming, Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but feel curious and took it to examine it carefully.

As expected, the time formation contained within this magical weapon was extremely sophisticated, but its other properties were much cruder. Many of the materials simply didn't reach their full potential. To Taiyi Zhenren, a master of the art of weapons, this was a sheer waste of natural resources.

"Is this magic weapon used to trap people? But the "trapping" technique on the formation isn't very strong. Anyone trapped in this magic weapon with even a little bit of cultivation can break free."

Taiyi Zhenren took the egg-shaped magic weapon and looked at it over and over again, but he couldn't figure out what it was used for.

He could only guess: "Is this a defective product?"

Lingzhuzi lowered the instruction manual to him. Taiyi Zhenren asked, "What is this? My dear disciple, don't tell me that this is also a magic weapon."

If the egg in my hand at least has some merits in terms of formation, then this parchment is completely useless.

"It's not a magic weapon, it's an instruction manual." Lingzhuzi pushed the parchment forward again, "It's the instruction manual for the magic weapon in your hand."

"Instructions?" Taiyi Zhenren took it doubtfully, and saw that the parchment recorded in detail the name, materials, effects and usage of the magic weapon.

"Wow!" His eyes lit up and he clapped his hands in praise. "This instruction manual is absolutely brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?"

Taiyi Zhenren sighed repeatedly, and said with sincere admiration: "As expected of Senior Brother Zhao, who is known throughout the wilderness for his business, he deserves to make money."

In response to this, Fu Li smiled slightly, keeping her achievements and fame to herself.

In her past life, what kind of appliance did she buy without an instruction manual? Even a bag of snacks had to have the ingredients clearly labeled.

Since coming into this world, she has always felt a lot of pressure to sell things without instructions or ingredient lists.

Fortunately, her teacher, Zhao Gongming, was far from pedantic and was eager to listen to good advice. As soon as she proposed the idea of ​​an instruction manual, his new magic weapon appeared.

With the help of the instruction manual, Taiyi Zhenren quickly figured out the shape of the magic weapon and had a general plan in mind on how to improve it.

"Master brother, do you want to refine more of this magic weapon?"

"That's right, we need mass production." Fu Li nodded, thought for a moment, and added, "It would be best if all the raw materials were readily available in large quantities to keep the refining costs down."

Taiyi Zhenren nodded and said, "Give me three days."

After saying that, he took the egg and the instruction manual into the refining room next to the quiet room.

Seeing Fu Li looking at Taiyi Zhenren's weapon refining room with curiosity, Lingzhuzi asked, "Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Of course Fu Li thought so, because that was the place where Taiyi Zhenren refined weapons, and many famous magic weapons were born in this refining room.

In her words from her previous life, this is the original factory, and it is the kind that is privately customized.

If you are lucky enough to go in and take a look, even if you don’t have any insights, you will feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction psychologically.

But Taiyi Zhenren was obviously studying magical instruments inside, so it would not be appropriate for them to go in and disturb him.

So, Fu Li shook her head and was about to speak when Ling Zhuzi grabbed her wrist and ran in.

The barrier at the door did not stop Lingzhuzi at all, and the two of them ran in very smoothly.

Fu Li was startled and asked, "Won't it disturb my uncle's research on the magic weapon?"

Ling Zhuzi said, "This refining room is divided into several spaces. Let's not go into the one he went to. Come and take a look. Do you like any of these things?"

Fu Li looked in the direction of his slender fingers, and what caught her eye were open jade boxes lined up against the wall, neatly arranged layer by layer.

The jade box contained a variety of raw materials, including animal parts, plant essences, and more importantly, various minerals.

Ling Zhuzi pulled her through the layers, introducing them one by one like a treasure trove: "Those in the red jade boxes are all things that can still be collected today; those in the jasper boxes are all things that could still be collected during the Demon Emperor era; and those in the white jade boxes are things that existed before the Great Desolation was shattered."

Before the chaos was shattered, those materials were not necessarily that precious.

But many fragments fell into chaos, and many animals, plants and minerals happened to be local to the places where those fragments were located.

If the place of origin is gone, those things will naturally disappear too.

Fu Li was so amazed that she felt her eyes were not enough.

Lingzhuzi waved his hand and said, "Take whatever you like. The teacher won't mind."

Fu Li's mouth twitched, and she had a deeper understanding of the extent to which Taiyi Zhenren doted on his disciple.

She shook her head and said, "No. These are all raw materials. Only in the hands of my uncle can they play the greatest value. If they fall into my hands, I can only sell them as raw materials."

Lingzhuzi nodded, seemingly thinking about something.

After a moment, he seemed to understand something and pulled her out of the material room and into another stone chamber diagonally opposite.

The moment the door of this stone chamber opened, colorful lights shone brightly and rushed out.

Just as Fu Li was about to take a closer look, all the brilliance disappeared, as if the flash just now was all an illusion.

But Fuli knew that it was not an illusion.

Following Ling Zhuzi's footsteps, Fu Li discovered that this stone chamber was filled with… no, it should be said that it was piled with finished magic weapons. Knives were piled up, swords were piled up, whips were piled up, halberds were piled up…

There are also a series of strange magic weapons such as flower baskets, hydrangeas, long silks, ropes, jade pendants, bells, gourds, Ruyi...

The owners of these magic weapons were probably not very satisfied with them, and discarded them randomly in the corners according to their categories, leaving them to be buried in the dust day after day and lose their brilliance.

Ling Zhuzi said, "These are not good. Come, I'll take you to the inner room to see the teacher's masterpieces. They are all there."

The inner chamber was slightly smaller, but kept remarkably neat. The walls were made of white jade, with various spaces of varying sizes carved into them. The magical treasures within fit seamlessly, appearing at first glance like decorative patterns on the wall.

Ling Zhuzi was obviously very familiar with this place. Without even looking at it, he directly took out an umbrella embedded in the left wall and said, "This is called the Tianji Umbrella, a treasure of acquired defense. After recognizing its master, it can withstand the strongest attack of the Daluo Jinxian.

The teacher said that the inspiration for this Tianji Umbrella came from the Chaos Bell, the companion magic weapon of the demon clan Donghuang Taiyi. The umbrella surface is made of innate soft sand that the master intercepted from the chaos, mixed with the sunset glow on the horizon and dyed into colorful lines;

The umbrella handle is a small branch cut from the bitter bamboo, one of the ten innate spiritual roots, and then tempered with wood fire for forty-nine days, achieving a combination of hardness and softness.

And the feather tassels hanging from the edge of this umbrella are each the brightest feathers of a divine bird. Look, this one is a Vermillion Bird feather, this one is a White Crane tail feather, this one is a Swan feather, this one is a Blue Luan feather, this one is a Peacock feather, this one is a Bifang feather, and this one is a Golden Phoenix feather.

There are seven feather tassels in total, each of which has an extraordinary origin. They are hung on the umbrella with golden threads, and they shine brightly in the slightly dim treasure room.

Fu Li couldn't imagine how gorgeous the umbrella would be if it was taken outside and exposed to sunlight.

Seeing the irrepressible love in her eyes, Lingzhuzi smiled triumphantly and stuffed the umbrella directly into her hand.

While Fu Li was stunned, he grabbed her other hand, bit his index finger, and pressed it on the peacock feather-like pattern on the umbrella handle.

In an instant, the light became brighter and the recognition of the master was successful.

Fu Li was stunned.

She didn't ask silly questions like "Master, do you agree?" If Taiyi Zhenren didn't want Lingzhuzi to enter the treasure room, there were plenty of ways to prevent him from entering.

Lingzhuzi waited for a moment, but the other party didn't react at all. He immediately said dissatisfiedly: "You obviously like it very much."

Fu Li: "So?"

Ling Zhuzi coughed lightly, stepped forward and kissed her lips, and said reservedly: "This is your thank you gift."

Fu Li laughed: "Is that enough?"

"Of course not." Lingzhuzi wrapped his arms around her soft waist and pressed her directly against the cool and warm jade wall.

This time, he kissed her fiercely and urgently, as if he wanted to crush her into pieces and swallow her into his stomach.

Fu Li endured it passively, panting, but her eyes gradually turned into water, with lingering waves rippling in the water. Circles of water lines rippled, weaving into a dense net, tightly entangling Lingzhuzi and dragging him into the gentle abyss without resistance.

Lingzhuzi didn't want to resist, he just hated himself for not falling fast enough.

After a long time, their lips parted.

An ambiguous line was drawn between the two of them, but their eyes were more affectionate than the line.

"Fu Li." Ling Zhuzi suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Fu Li looked at him doubtfully, her eyes soft and completely devoid of her usual composure.

Ling Zhuzi suddenly smiled and whispered in her ear, "I forgot to tell you something. The teacher can see everything we do in this stone chamber."

Fu Li: “…………”

——She looked at Lingzhuzi in disbelief, trying to find any hint of joking on his face.

But she failed.

“You…you…you…” Fu Li’s eyes widened.

Ling Zhuzi looked innocent: "What's wrong with me?"

Fu Li laughed angrily: You are such a repressed person, you hide it really well.
