Bai Ningning took the "black knife" and looked at it carefully. Not only was its shape distorted, but she couldn't even find the difference between the blade and the back of the knife. The only thing that matched its name as a "black knife" was probably that it was completely black.
Bai Ningning hesitated: "I won't melt the material of the scabbard into it, right?"
Zhang Qi waved his hand: "Impossible, the blade and the scabbard are not made of the same material. The material of the scabbard is similar to that of the handle."
【Hahahahaha】
【HA ...
The barrage that had disappeared for a long time reappeared, and the screen was full of "Ha". There was no second word to be found. It was so overlapping and crowded that she almost couldn't recognize the word "Ha".
The last time the barrage was so crowded was the first time I saw it.
Bai Ningning: “…”
It would be fine if Senior Sister Lu Yu lied to her, after all, she couldn't predict it accurately anyway, but why was the barrage also lying to her?
Didn't the comments say she would forge a peerless sword? But after seeing the finished product, these comments actually mocked her!
After a few seconds, the barrage of words other than "ha" appeared -
[Obtained treasure: Evil-repelling sword (dog head)]
[Aotian is about to crush the evil-repelling orb tonight. Will Ningning predict this?]
She must have anticipated this and rushed to forge the sword. Otherwise, with her lazy nature, she would have gone back to her room and stayed in bed until the next morning.
[Don't judge a knife by its appearance. Who would have thought this knife is so powerful? ]
Bai Ningning:?
She gave the evil-repelling orb to Yuan Muyang for him to study, not to destroy it!
Moreover, she had lost all the life-saving things on her body, and she only survived by chance thanks to the evil-repelling bead. This shows that the evil-repelling bead is a powerful weapon to drive away ghosts.
What's more, the comments are calling it an evil-repelling orb, so it must be a good thing!
Bai Ningning hesitated for two seconds as she looked at the barrage of comments. Holding the "black knife" that looked like a spirit made of soda, she asked, "Can I take it with me? Even though it doesn't look like a knife, it's the first knife I've ever forged."
Zhang Qi handed her the knife he had forged, and said with sympathy, "Take this one too."
He looked at the knife in Bai Ningning's hand, which was not even a knife, and asked, "Do you want to make a scabbard for it?"
Bai Ningning was puzzled: "There's no scabbard that fits its shape, right? And it doesn't even have a blade."
Zhang Qi: "Just add a storage charm to the scabbard."
Bai Ningning was inspired and followed his steps to forge the scabbard.
This time it was very successful, and the finished product was even more beautiful than Zhang Qi's.
Zhang Qi wondered if he was being fooled: "Aren't you doing a good job?"
Bai Ningning pondered for a moment and asked, "Did forging the sword require any metaphysical techniques? Like spiritual energy or something like that...but making the scabbard is something that even an ordinary person can do?"
"It seems so." Zhang Qi nodded vaguely, intentionally changing the subject, "But we have to draw the talisman next."
Bai Ningning took the cinnabar pen and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Zhang Qi watched her use a cinnabar pen to draw a blurry red ink mark on the scabbard, and felt that he was worrying too much. She might never learn anything related to metaphysics in her life.
Bai Ningning struggled to put the black knife made of ash from the bottom of the pot into the scabbard, and then found that it couldn't be put in at all - her storage talisman was useless!
Zhang Qi couldn't help laughing. There was no way her storage talisman, which was a mess, would be useful.
He added a normal storage charm to her scabbard and asked her to put the knife in it.
In a place where no one noticed, the cinnabar talisman on the surface of the scabbard quietly sank into the inside, turning into a flash of golden light, merging with her black sword and disappearing.
Bai Ningning breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the knife and scabbard fit perfectly, and said goodbye to Zhang Qi holding the two knives - no matter what, it could be considered a successful forging?
She had to go back and compare the two knives to see what the difference was. Why was there such a big difference even though they were made of the same materials and forged with the same techniques?
As soon as Bai Ningning came out of the refining room, she saw the barrage of complaints:
[Ningning, run faster! Aotian is about to crush the evil-repelling orb!]
Bai Ningning was dumbfounded. Didn't the comment say "tonight"? It was only just past dinner time, and it wasn't even dark yet. How could it be "tonight"?!
She ran back to the dormitory area at the fastest speed in her life and kicked open the door of Yuan Muyang's room.
But he saw Yuan Muyang lying on the ground with his clothes disheveled, as if he was being pressed down by something invisible. There were purple marks on his neck, and he was about to roll his eyes and foam at the mouth.
The moment the door opened, Bai Ningning felt an extremely strong yin energy.
This shouldn't happen.
She was mentally so frightened that she wanted to run away, but in reality she was so frightened that she couldn't move, and her feet felt as if they were filled with lead.
When the evil ghost saw her break in, he showed a strange smile, threw Yuan Muyang aside as if throwing away garbage, and floated in front of Bai Ningning to observe this troublesome little girl.
[Who would have thought that an evil spirit was sealed in the evil-repelling orb? ]
Ningning had indeed figured it out and rushed to the rescue. Aotian was almost crushed to death by a ghost just now. QAQ
[This ghost is very powerful. Judging from the illustrations, it should be a great evil ghost that has been cultivating for at least a thousand years.]
Even Yuan Xiushuo may not be able to deal with this ghost.
Bai Ningning: “???”
Since he knew it was such a powerful ghost, why did Danmu trick her into coming here!
She is just a weak, pitiful, helpless girl who is afraid of ghosts!
Lu Yu said she could subdue evil spirits, but this one wouldn't be it...
[Ningning, quickly look back, I'm so anxious, the ghosts are behind me!]
[I think Ningning must have a plan in mind, that's why she's so confident and doesn't move.]
Even though I've seen it once, I'm still nervous.
Misunderstanding, huge misunderstanding.
Bai Ningning was simply so scared that she couldn't walk.
The more frightened she was inside, the calmer she appeared on the surface. She drew out the knife and slashed behind her.
When she drew the knife out of its sheath, she realized that something was wrong. She was holding the black knife that she had forged herself, which was made of ash from the bottom of a pot, instead of the black knife that Zhang Qi had given her, which had a beautiful appearance and could ward off evil spirits.
Finished.
Her black knife couldn't hurt ghosts at all.
What she didn't know was that this black knife had a weak but strange suction force on ghosts, as if it was extending an invitation: Come and play.
The evil spirit found it interesting and circled around her three times: "Your spiritual orifice is not yet open, yet you can sense my presence? Interesting."
After three circles, he naturally noticed the strange black knife. He felt that the breath was somewhat familiar and wanted to get closer to the black knife to find out what was inside. However, he didn't expect that before he could take a closer look, he was sucked in by the black knife and couldn't get out no matter what.
"Ningning——" Yu Yue screamed.
Bai Ningning thought she saw herself being haunted by an evil spirit, so she closed her eyes and waited for death.
[After beheading the demon, he still closed his eyes. Is this just a show of cool? ]
[He's trying to feel if there's any remnant left, right? After all, he's a thousand-year-old evil spirit. What if he manages to escape and even a trace of his soul remains?]
[But Ningning is really that strong? She killed a thousand-year-old evil spirit with one sword!]
Bai Ningning: “?”
Is there an information gap between the barrage and her?
How could she, an ordinary ghost-fearing girl with her spiritual awareness still undeveloped, be able to slay evil spirits?!
She asked Yu Yue: "What did you see?"
She was so frightened that her face was frozen.
But in Yu Yue's eyes, she was holding a knife coldly, with a murderous look in her eyes, as if the next sentence would be: "You know too much."
Yu Yue covered her mouth and shook her head quickly.
【I am so cool】
[Before, the comments kept saying Ningning was pretending to be afraid of ghosts, but I didn’t believe it. Now I do.]
[Who would have thought that our Ningning would be so cool and powerful? ]
Bai Ningning suspected that the evil ghost was still there and might have said something threatening to Yu Yue, which was why she was so scared.
She sheathed the pot ash-like knife and was about to switch to another knife that she thought looked more reliable. Before she could pull it out, she heard Yuan Xiushuo's voice: "What's going on?"
Bai Ningning finally relaxed and instantly became harmless: "It seems something happened to Yuan Muyang."
While everyone's attention was on Yuan Muyang in the room, a light yellow hairpin quietly slipped into Bai Ningning's pocket.
