Lin Jingge only came to her senses when she heard the blacksmith's voice.

She looked around and found that many things had been damaged because of her forging, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice any of this.

If it weren't for the fact that this blacksmith shop was full of fire, which could reduce the chance of errors in refining the fire, she wouldn't have chosen to do the condensing step here.

"Sorry. How much are these things? I'll pay your dad back." Lin Jingge scratched her head sheepishly, then took the money pouch from her waist.

She has no spirit stones left, but she still has a considerable amount of silver.

After paying the blacksmith, Lin Jingge left in a hurry, revealing nothing about the dagger when asked by the blacksmith.

On her way back to the Qian residence, she was very careful, afraid of running into Chu Wang again.

When Lin Jingge returned to the Qian family mansion, she entered through the main gate, but she happened to run into the Qian clan chief.

"Went to the blacksmith shop again?" Qian Zhong asked casually as Lin Jingge returned at dusk.

It was no secret that Lin Jingge frequented the blacksmith shop; she came and went openly and honestly, and since she would stay there for a whole day, it was hard to keep it a secret.

Lin Jingge nodded in response.

She and Qian Zhong weren't very close; their relationship was more of a mutual exploitation. They didn't have much to talk about, and Qian Zhong seemed to have some urgent business to attend to.

After Lin Jingge stepped through the gate, Qian Zhong, who had taken a few steps, turned back to look at her back, his gaze lingering on her for a moment.

Indeed, just as her daughter said, Lin Jingge had reached the level of a Spirit Master.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he could only suppress his curiosity and greed because he had not found out anything and had not yet acted.

After entering the Qian residence, Lin Jingge hurriedly ran to Granny Lin's room.

At this moment, Grandma Lin had already returned.

"Why are you running so fast?" Grandma Lin saw Lin Jingge running all the way and was panting when she stopped, so she quickly went over to her.

"Grandma, can you take a look at this for me?" Lin Jingge took out a dagger wrapped in a strip of cloth.

"This is...?" Granny Lin looked at the dagger with some confusion, not understanding what Lin Jingge wanted to show her: "Where did you get this magical weapon?"

Hearing the old woman ask this, Lin Jingge's eyes lit up, then she patted her head and said, "It's my fault, I forgot to tell you, Grandma, that I've been learning weapon crafting lately."

"And the kind that's self-taught." Lin Jingge added silently to herself.

She never expected that she would actually succeed in mastering it. Since the old woman said it was a magical artifact, then it must be.

Grandma Lin spends all her time in the fields and has little contact with the outside world. Although she pays attention to Lin Jinge, most of the news comes from Lin Jinge herself.

"Weapon forging?!" Granny Lin was shocked. She then examined the dagger in her hand again and again, still feeling that it was somewhat unreal.

Fire-based spiritual cultivators are better at crafting artifacts, so how could her granddaughter possibly craft a spiritual artifact without the aid of external fire?

"Yes, I've always learned weapon forging at the blacksmith shops around here."

"Jiaojiao, you're a wood-element cultivator, how did you refine it without external fire?" Granny Lin was still in shock, her hand holding the dagger trembling slightly.

"External fire?" Lin Jingge accurately caught the word that Granny Lin said.

This was different from what she had learned from the Heavenly Book, which clearly stated that apart from the flames of fire-type cultivators, only the strange flames of heaven and earth could be used to forge weapons.

Is it simply a matter of different interpretations, or is the celestial book not from this world?

"Grandma, is this what you mean?" Lin Jingge asked, her palm facing upwards, a tiny flame flickering in her hand.

The flame was so weak that it seemed as if a gentle breath could extinguish it.

When Lin Jingge saw the flame, she realized that it was smaller than before the weapon was forged.

She had a bit of a headache.

"Where did you come from?" Granny Lin asked in surprise, looking at the small flame that exuded a dangerous aura.

Today, she has been surprised one after another, and she doesn't know how many more surprises her granddaughter can give her.

With all that she has, her beloved Jiaojiao will definitely be able to enter the Cloud Cauldron Sect!

Grandma Lin was thinking a bit too far ahead.

"I was just lucky, I got it by chance." Lin Jingge put the flame away, her eyes darting away because she felt guilty.

Grandma Lin had raised Lin Jingge to adulthood, and this action immediately made Grandma Lin realize that she wasn't telling the truth.

However, Grandma Lin did not ask any further questions.

"This is a good thing!" She returned the dagger to Lin Jingge: "It should be a low-grade spiritual weapon, with a faint aura of a mid-grade weapon. The fact that you were able to forge such a finished product on your first try shows that you have a high talent for weapon forging."

Grandma Lin patted Lin Jingge on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Grandma, I'd like to give this dagger to Miss Qian. Do you think it's presentable?" Lin Jingge revealed the purpose of her visit.

The main reason was that she always felt uncomfortable because she owed the other party a favor.

Originally, she wanted to make a ritual object for Granny Lin, but she was not confident and did not have good materials, so she had to give up and thought that she would make a suitable one for Granny Lin later when she was more skilled.

"Although your magic artifact has flaws, its merits outweigh its flaws. It's still a presentable gift." Granny Lin understood Lin Jingge's words and knew that she wanted to repay a favor, so she didn't stop her.

Moreover, Qian Suisui did indeed help them a lot.

The whip in Qian Suisui's hand was made of good materials, but it was far from reaching the level of a spiritual weapon, and it was not as good as her granddaughter's ugly dagger.

Lin Jingge breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Lin Apocalypse's confirmation.

Fortunately, it wasn't a complete failure.

However, if her little flame hadn't failed her, the dagger in her hand would probably have been a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Although the difference between inferior and medium grade is only one word, their prices are quite different.

Low-grade spiritual artifacts are merely entry-level, while mid-grade ones are more than ten times more expensive.

After returning to her room, Lin Jingge put the dagger into her spatial storage and then closed the door to begin her cultivation.

Lin Shu also followed from Grandma Lin's side.

He was placed on the bed by Lin Jingge. After watching Lin Jingge close her eyes and enter into cultivation, he quietly took out the Star Pearl and placed it beside him.

The spiritual energy in the entire room gradually became richer.

For the remaining three days, Lin Jingge did not wander around, but instead focused on cultivation to consolidate her power.

She leveled up too quickly, and her foundation hadn't been solidified yet.

Three days later, the Qian family became lively again.

Because it was the birthday of the youngest daughter of the Qian family.

Lin Jingge went to Qian Suisui's house early in the morning, intending to give her the dagger as a birthday gift.

However, she saw a familiar figure in Qian Suisui's courtyard.
