Shen Zixuan stroked the words on the jade token, and his brows softened.

"Sister Wan'er, this is so precious. You actually took the trouble to refine such a spiritual weapon just for me. I really don't know what to say."

Meng Wan lowered her head, her face flushed even more, and spoke softly.

"Brother Zixuan, you know, I have always admired you.

You have superb swordsmanship. You rescued me from the hands of that group of robber cultivators, brought me into the city, and took good care of me.

I just did some trivial things. Even this furnace and the materials for refining the weapon were bought by you."

"You've been working on this for so long, how can you say it's insignificant?"

Shen Zixuan frowned slightly, "If you say that, I'll be unhappy."

Meng Wan smiled happily, her eyes sparkling, and took the initiative to explain the purpose of the jade token.

“Although this jade token is only a mid-grade spiritual weapon, it will automatically protect its owner when they are in danger. Furthermore, it does not require any additional spiritual energy to use; it will take effect simply by wearing it.

According to my estimation, it can withstand three full-strength attacks from a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator."

If Shen Zixuan was only touched before, he was now surprised.

I originally thought that this jade token was useless, but I didn't expect it to be able to defend against the attacks of a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and it could also automatically protect its owner without consuming any extra spiritual energy.

He couldn't help but hugged Meng Wan tightly, "Wan'er, you are so good to me. I don't know how to repay you."

Being hugged unexpectedly, Meng Wan cried out softly, feeling a little nervous, but more shy and embarrassed.

"Zi Han is still here, let me go!"

Shen Zihan, who was hiding in the dark and peeking, couldn't help but almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

Shen Zixuan blushed as well, and quickly let go of Meng Wan. "I, I was just excited for a moment, and I didn't mean to offend Sister Wan'er..."

Meng Wan blushed and nodded, "The only thing to note when using this jade token is that you must replenish its spiritual energy in time after use."

"I know."

Shen Zixuan looked at Meng Wan gently, "Sister Wan'er is really amazing. At such a young age, you have already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and are also proficient in the art of refining weapons. Your spiritual roots must be very talented, right?"

Hearing him mention spiritual roots, Meng Wan sneered in her heart.

She had the lowest grade single spiritual root, and the purity of her spiritual root was only a pitiful thirty or so points.

If she had not practiced blood magic and embarked on the path of evil, she would probably not have reached the level she is today even if she practiced for another thirty years.

But on the surface, she just nodded slightly, "I have four spiritual roots, and the purity of my spiritual roots is seventy points."

Only seventy points?

Shen Zixuan was a little disappointed, but when he thought that the other party seemed to know nothing about fighting, he felt relieved.

Zhang Wan'er should have been trained by her family to be a weapon refiner, so she has a certain level of cultivation but lacks the strength to match it.

Thinking of this, Shen Zixuan ignored the disappointment and discomfort in his heart and persuaded softly.

"Sister Wan'er has been working hard for several days and has lost a lot of weight. After drinking the ginseng tea, go and rest quickly."

Meng Wan obediently picked up the ginseng tea, put away the furnace and all the refining tools, and returned to the west wing.

After watching Meng Wan return to her room, Shen Zixuan also walked back to his room under Shen Zihan's expectant gaze.

Shen Zihan followed him into the house, closed the door casually, and said curiously.

"Brother, show me that jade token! Zhang Wan'er said it can withstand three full-strength attacks from a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. Is that true?"

After hearing this, Shen Zixuan did not give her the jade token. Instead, he repeatedly rubbed the jade token in his hand with a gentle smile on his face.

"Although it hasn't been refined yet, the spiritual energy in this jade token is very abundant. What Sister Wan'er said should be true."

Shen Zihan saw his actions and the smile on his face, and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk, isn't it just a mid-grade spiritual weapon? Look at how precious it is to you. It won't hurt to show it to me."

Shen Zixuan was unmoved when he heard this. Instead, he wore the jade pendant around his neck and hid it inside his clothes.

Seeing this, Shen Zihan rolled her eyes heavily, but finally couldn't help it and spoke shamelessly.

"Brother, can you talk to Zhang Wan'er and ask her to make one for me?"

Shen Zixuan gave her an unhappy look and said, "Wan'er, it's very hard for you to refine weapons. You don't need defensive spiritual weapons. If you want to buy one yourself, go outside."

Well, you're just going to burn the bridge after crossing it, right? Is she, your sister, redundant now?

Shen Zihan's lips turned into a gourd.

"If you don't want to, forget it. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to ask for it myself. With Zhang Wan'er's personality, as long as I say I want it, she will definitely refine it for me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zixuan glared at his sister helplessly, "Even if you really want it, you'll have to wait a few days before bringing it up. She just finished refining the weapon and is exhausted."

"knew."

Shen Zihan could see that, at least before her brother established his foundation, Zhang Wan'er's position in his heart was no less than that of her younger sister.

In the next half month, Meng Wan refined the weapon twice more, and made a self-defense jade token with the same effect for herself and Shen Zihan respectively.

Of course, for some little reason that everyone understands, the jade token she made for herself was the same one as Shen Zixuan's.

As for Shen Zihan's piece, the style is slightly different.

During this period, the relationship between Meng Wan and Shen Zixuan also made rapid progress.

As for her younger sister Shen Zihan, she gradually became an eyesore in the eyes of her older brother Shen Zixuan.

That day, the three of them had just finished the breakfast bought by Shen Zixuan when they heard Shen Zihan say.

"I stayed in the teahouse for several days and finally got the exact news.

The Foundation Establishment Stage monsters that appeared on the outskirts of the Tianheng Mountains have all been killed, so going up the mountain now shouldn't be dangerous."

Hearing this, Shen Zixuan looked at Meng Wan with affectionate eyes.

"Sister Wan'er, there's actually something I haven't told you. My sister and I came to Hengyue City mainly to visit an ancient cultivator's cave..."

Hearing this, Shen Zihan's eyes changed slightly, and the foot hidden under the table gently kicked Shen Zixuan.

Is he crazy? He even told Zhang Wan'er such a thing!

Shen Zixuan noticed his sister's little action and continued speaking with a normal expression.

"We went up the mountain this time to determine the location of that cave. Once it is fully opened, we will be able to enter it as soon as possible and seize the opportunity."

Shen Zihan reluctantly retracted her foot, but the hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but clenched.

She had to find an opportunity to ask her brother why he revealed such important information to Zhang Wan'er.

Meng Wan looked a little surprised. "I seemed to have heard someone talk about this before in the teahouse. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect that there really was a cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator in the Hengyue Mountains."

"Similar cave dwellings have actually appeared quite a few times before, but these resources have always been firmly controlled by various forces. This time, somehow, the news leaked out."

Shen Zixuan looked at Meng Wan tenderly, "Sister Wan'er, in the cave of the ancient cultivators, opportunities and dangers coexist. Are you willing to enter with me?"
