Chapter 97 Could she be the only one who is really a loser?
Two months later.
"I have finally reached the threshold of the middle stage of the Golden Core."
Jiang Jiu felt tears welling up in his eyes as he felt his own cultivation progress. His cultivation, which had stagnated because of Xiao Nianzhong and Bai Ze, finally showed signs of loosening.
This is even with the support of double training speed.
As for why she was so moved? Of course, it was because for two whole months, Bai Ze had treated her inhumanely. She felt like she was back in her senior year of high school, with a torturous sleep schedule from 5 am to 10 pm.
"That's good news."
Since Bai Ze had no physical body, he used his mouth to imitate the "quack, quack" sound of clapping, which sounded quite realistic, but to Jiang Jiu, it sounded very annoying.
"Are you really a lucky beast? Why do you always make me feel so angry that I can't even bear the consequences?"
Jiang Jiu asked a soul-searching question. She vaguely remembered the first time she saw Bai Ze in his entirety. He was so majestic and domineering, so sacred that no one dared to desecrate him. Her heart and eyes were filled with awe.
Now I am tortured by his nagging every day.
Bai Ze doesn't look like a mythical beast, but more like an old man at the village entrance who does nothing every day.
"Who dares to question my divine beast status?"
Bai Ze was puffing out his beard and glaring, it seemed that he was quite drunk with ginger wine.
"oh."
Jiang Jiu replied calmly.
"Junior sister, Master summoned us to the sect's main hall."
Ye Yiyi's voice came from outside the door, so Jiang Jiu didn't continue to confront Bai Ze, but shouted outside the door.
"I'll be there in a moment."
...
In the sect's main hall, Ji Chen's four disciples stood in a row. Each of them looked honest and well-behaved, saving trouble and effort. No matter which sect they belonged to, they would like disciples like them who were quiet and did not cause trouble.
Only Jiang Jiu knows that everyone here smokes and drinks in private.
Even if Ji Chen is included, he cannot be considered a completely normal person.
He has been in seclusion frequently recently probably because his divine bloodline is on the verge of revival, and the sword immortal inheritance in his body conflicts with the power of his bloodline, so he has been forced to seclude himself for many days.
Jiang Jiu secretly complained in his heart.
"In a few days, the Juetian Sect will hold its sword-forging ceremony. As my direct disciples, you will need to demonstrate how to forge a sword blank during the ceremony."
Ji Chen's voice was calm, and his pleasant voice was like a trickle of water, telling the story.
But it was like a bolt from the blue to Jiang Jiu.
"In a few days...it's really only a few days away. Only five days left. My dear Master, could you please notify me earlier next time?!"
Jiang Jiu felt desperate. In five days, even a genius could only barely get started. How could they be asked to forge a sword blank?
Kill her.
No matter who comes, it won’t work!
Jiang Jiu thought about it, and suddenly turned his head stiffly, looking at Yun Shuili and Yu Zimo. These two people... well, let's just call them people, anyway, they seem to be really good...
Mermaids are natural weapon refiners, and Yu Zimo...is the Ghost King who has lived for thousands of years. For him, forging a sword embryo is a piece of cake.
So, the only real noobs are her and Ye Yiyi?
Ji Chen continued speaking without stopping.
"The Fifth Elder specializes in weapon refining. You can just practice with her during this time."
The Fifth Elder looked like a kind and amiable older sister. As Ji Chen finished speaking, she slowly stood up and looked at everyone.
"Don't be nervous. The demonstration is mostly for show, so you only need to learn the basics."
The sweat on Jiang Jiu's head has decreased a little, fortunately, it's okay... He was just pretending, it's not a bad idea.
Although neither is a good choice for people with social anxiety.
"You can't do that. If you want to learn, you must follow the standards of the Five Elders. There's no need to go easy on my disciples."
Ji Chen rejected the Fifth Elder's statement with righteous indignation. Jiang Jiu's mood now was like a huge sweating soybean.
"Since the Sect Master has requested this, I will respectfully obey."
The fifth elder put on a smiling expression and looked much happier than before.
It seems that Ji Chen's words touched her heart.
“…”
"Very good, Master, you have cut off our path to survival with your own hands."
Jiang Jiu was in tears, but happened to run into Ye Yiyi's slightly excited expression... It felt like she would.
"?"
Jiang Jiu had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that she was the only loser?
"Alright, you will come back to Yuyin Peak with me in the next five days. Yuyin Peak is very popular, so you can live with the inner disciples."
As the Fifth Elder finished speaking, Jiang Jiu's feet seemed to take root.
"It's over, I have to have a roommate this time!"
"I spent a whole year adjusting to my college roommate, and this only made things worse."
'Can I refuse, woooo.'
No matter how bitter Jiang Jiu felt, he finally went with the other person obediently. He didn't even dare to protest, and was so cowardly that it was laughable.
Yuyin Peak and Qingyun Peak are completely different peaks. Qingyun Peak is like a small piece of land opened out from the wilderness for them to live in.
Yuyin Peak is the one that truly looks like a large sect.
There are magnificent disciple pavilions, special martial arts training grounds, training rooms and well-organized spiritual fields. Disciples come and go among them, and everyone looks very busy.
"?"
Jiang Jiu began to doubt his life. Who was the leader? How did their Qingyun Peak become so dilapidated?
"Junior sister, there's no need to be envious. Master's Qingyun Peak was once just as prosperous. However, he practiced swordsmanship frequently during that time, and his sword energy was too sharp and destructive. One day, he chopped off the top of Qingyun Peak."
"I happened to be out training that day, so I escaped the disaster."
"Those small courtyards today were built by me in my spare time. I was afraid that my younger junior sisters and brothers would have nowhere to live."
Yu Zimo explained to Jiang Jiu very considerately, but this explanation only made Jiang Jiu even more desperate.
"I will be careful not to anger Master easily."
Jiang Jiu replied to Yu Zimo solemnly.
"Haha, that's not necessary. Master isn't that scary."
As Yu Zimo said this, the corners of his mouth curved suspiciously, adding a touch of glamour to his handsome face like the bright moon.
“No, this is important!”
Jiang Jiu emphasized very seriously.
At the beginning of the game, Ji Chen had already become the calm and reliable person he is now, but the plot text did write that he was once a young and energetic man who had gained the reputation of a sword immortal in the world of cultivation.
But she still didn't expect that Ji Chen had once flattened the top of Qingyun Peak.
"Junior Sister, the Fifth Elder is going to show you around the Goldware Workshop. It's in that direction."
The surrounding disciples were much more curious about Jiang Jiu than about other people, so whenever they had the chance, they couldn't wait to show their presence in front of Jiang Jiu.
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Jiu nodded slightly, as aloof and indifferent as the moon in the sky.
This caused admiration to shine in the eyes of all the disciples.
The so-called refining of weapons is mostly similar to what ancient blacksmiths did. Because the five elders of Yuyin Peak focus on refining weapons, there are specially set up refining rooms, and the Gold Weapon Workshop is one of them.
