In the past, I was obsessed with finding my senior brother and asking him to tell me in person why he betrayed the sect.

Now that my senior brother has finally been found and has told me the whole story, I should be doubly happy, but... why is this happening?

Can those women just die?

To be fair, they couldn't be blamed for this, after all, it was the senior brother who played the traitor first. Who knew that behind Qingheng and Jingyun was Chang Geng, and that he already had a Taoist partner in Kunlun?

If anyone is to be blamed, it can only be blamed on that bastard senior brother, who did not stick to the bottom line in Shushan and Penglai... But the matter is done, and there is no way to turn back time to stop senior brother. But if all these women died, the problem would disappear.

These crazy thoughts kept turning over and over in Xu Yinglian's mind, and finally he sighed.

No, if we really do this, how is it different from the evil ways that kill innocent people indiscriminately?

Putting all distracting thoughts behind him, Xu Yinglian returned to the inner hall and saw Chen Guanshui discussing with Kunlun Jing:

"This fragment of the Heaven-Repairing Stone is the most stable material I have ever seen. Even if it is continuously heated by the heat of the earth's fire, it will only melt very slowly."

"From the current structural point of view, there are no runes or magic arrays inside this thing. It seems to be simply the properties of the material itself."

"But if we can scan finer structures, we might be able to find ways to speed up melting."

"Scan..." Kunlun Mirror groaned, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it."

"As you said, the material of this Heaven-Repairing Stone is very strange. It hardly reacts to any spells... It does not belong to the Five Elements, is indestructible, and cannot even be analyzed by magic. Even the method of heating it with earth fire is an imitation of Nuwa's use of heavenly fire to refine stones."

"Or we can scan how it melts." Chen Guanshui pondered, "Why can super-high heat melt it? What about polar temperatures, extremely heavy pressures, and extremely violent lightning?"

Speaking of thunder and lightning, he remembered that he still had a thunder technique to practice!

Because he was being chased by his wives, he had no time to comprehend along the way. Now he can try to integrate the Nine Thunders. If he can really practice the Tai Chi Thunder known as "the first sound when heaven and earth were separated", wouldn't he be completely invincible?

"If you want to manipulate heat, I can help." Xu Yinglian said suddenly from the side.

"Junior sister, can you help me?" Chen Guanshui asked in surprise, then reacted.

Junior Sister Xu's ability to control fire comes from the Phoenix blood in her body and the Phoenix Senior that resides in her sea of ​​consciousness.

If one wants to build a blast furnace and guide the heat, then Lady Liuli, who is good at metallurgy and sword-making, is the perfect person to do it; but if one wants to stimulate the earth fire and increase the heat, how can she compare to Junior Sister Xu?

Every inch has its own merits. The two ladies should cooperate sincerely, complement each other and help each other, so that they can better serve me... No, I mean to serve the great plan of repairing the sky!

"I think we can give it a try." Chen Guanshui nodded seriously.

"Well, let's try it." Kunlun Mirror also echoed.

Since this guy isn’t afraid, I certainly don’t care!

So the two of them took Xu Yinglian to the underground fire and saw Shi Liuli working at the blast furnace.

The so-called blast furnace is a new smelting furnace designed by Shi Liuli based on his experience and innovation.

Since the heat of the underground fire is too high, ordinary materials cannot support it at all, so most of the structures inside the furnace are restrained by Chen Guanshui's formation.

Shi Liuli's job is to monitor the melting state of the Bu Tian Stone fragments in the furnace, and then adjust the thermal channel for dynamic optimization... Anyway, Chen Guanshui and Kunlun Jing don't understand, so whatever she says is what it is.

"Liuli." Chen Guanshui tried not to make his tone too intimate, lest Xu Yinglian get jealous, but he also couldn't be too cold, lest Shi Liuli get unhappy. "Yinglian said she could activate the earth fire and increase the heat... If she succeeds, it will also be helpful for smelting the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone."

"Oh." Shi Liuli said calmly, "Then let her try it. Do you need me to teach her how to operate the furnace?"

"No need." Xu Yinglian said indifferently.

She walked to the edge of the crack, looked at the furnace that bound the fragments of the Heaven-Fixing Stone, and sneered after a while:

"What's the point of building a temple in a snail shell, no matter how exquisite it is? In the past, Nuwa used heavenly fire to refine stones, but you use earthly fire. The heat is not of the same order of magnitude. No matter how good the heat conduction is, it can't change the fundamentals. It will only get half the result with twice the effort."

Although her tone was cold and seemed to be stating facts, she was actually mocking Shi Liuli for doing useless work, which made Chen Guanshui secretly sweat.

"Then it depends on Fellow Daoist Qiongying's high-level skills." Shi Liuli said with a faint smile, "The Phoenix True Fire will have 80% of the heat of the Heavenly Fire, so the melting of the Heaven-Repairing Stone can be completed in one go."

Although she smiled and flattered the other party on the surface, she was actually sarcastic in secret. Of course, the Phoenix Fire was not as good as the Heavenly Fire, and it was a pipe dream to achieve success overnight.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Seeing the two people bickering when they met, Chen Guanshui quickly interrupted them, "Junior sister, can you activate this earth fire?"

"Junior sister?" Shi Liuli sneered sarcastically, but Xu Yinglian ignored her and said with his head down:

“You won’t know until you try it.”

She raised her arms calmly, and the true energy in her body swelled up. The fire below suddenly rose fiercely, and even broke through the bottom of the furnace in an instant. Fortunately, it did not touch the fragments of the Sky-Repairing Stone, and then it shrank back again.

"It can be activated." Xu Yinglian turned around and said calmly, "But this furnace is too crude and the structure is not good. It can't withstand the earth fire after it is activated, so it needs to be redesigned."

Shi Liuli's eyes twitched and he became irritated.

How could she not see that Kunlun Qiongying was deliberately going against her?

That bastard and Broken Mirror can't design a furnace, so she can only rely on herself! It's easy to imagine that no matter how she designs the structure, Xu Yinglian will stimulate the ground fire to the maximum, and must make it the only goal to burn through the furnace.

Then you can smugly mock yourself, "Please make me a stronger stove"... Just thinking about it makes me angry!

But Shi Liuli was shrewd after all, and knew that he couldn't break up with the other party at this time, so he quickly suppressed his anger and said:

"The furnace can be redesigned, but no matter how sophisticated the furnace is, its purpose is to better guide the heat for smelting, rather than to withstand stronger heat indefinitely. Otherwise, what's the point of having a furnace? Just make a big lump of iron and carve countless fireproof magic arrays on it."

"Fellow Daoist Dongyou is wrong." Xu Yinglian refused to let her go and said indifferently, "What is this Heaven-Repairing Stone? In the past, Nuwa used Heavenly Fire to smelt it, and it still took a long time. Now you are using Earth Fire instead. If you don't push the heat to the extreme, how long will it take to refine it?"

"If you don't have the confidence to design a furnace that can withstand enough heat, then you can go back to Penglai first and we can find another swordsmith."

The real purpose is revealed! It turns out that this Kunlun Qiongying Phoenix Fairy is not just having a verbal dispute, but intends to play a more important role in the matter of repairing the sky, and in the process, squeeze Penglai Dongyou out in advance!

Kunlun Jing was watching in amazement, thinking that there were not many people in this world who were better at controlling fire than Xu Yinglian, but there were many who were better at forging swords than Shi Liuli. After all, this man was a latecomer in sword forging, so it was normal for him to lack foundation. Junior Sister Xu saw through the opponent's weakness in an instant and then killed him with one sword!

The war between women is so terrifying! I am a divine mirror, so I am not as good as them in this house fight. I have to study hard.

Facing Xu Yinglian's fatal blow, Shi Liuli remained calm and just smiled:

"Indeed, in terms of the art of forging weapons and swords, there are many people in Penglai Yuqing Temple who can beat me. Why don't I go back to the sect and ask if there is any elder who can help me?"

"That won't do!" Chen Guanshui and Kunlun Jing were startled and quickly stopped them.

Obviously, although Xu Yinglian seemed to have used a vicious plan of "cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron", in fact, its lethality was limited - the reason why Chen Guanshui chose Shi Liuli to join was not only because she was good at smelting, but also because she was "someone he could trust".

If she were to go back to Penglai and find a more powerful senior, who would repair the sky later? Was he here to help plant the peach trees, or to pick the peaches? It was hard to say!

"Why not?" Xu Yinglian just sneered, "It's just a furnace. Who said it was to refine the Heaven-Repairing Stone? Or will someone tell on us when they go back?"

Snitch, huh.

Shi Liuli felt disdainful in her heart, because her greatest reliance at this moment was that she had persuaded the Immortal Wanxiang long ago, so the entire Penglai was actually standing behind her.

But the biggest difficulty at this time was not with Xu Yinglian, but with Chen Guanshui...

Thinking of this, Shi Liuli remained silent and just stepped aside for the time being.

"Alright, alright." Chen Guanshui really came out to mediate, "You two should stop arguing. The plan to repair the sky is no joke. Only people you can trust completely can join in. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Junior sister, try to see how hot you can stir up the earth fire."

"Liuli, you should redesign the furnace according to this heat. You must break through the limit. But if you really can't bear it, you should also estimate the heat limit you can bear, and then ask Junior Sister to control the situation accordingly... Although this plan to repair the sky cannot be delayed, it doesn't need to be stopped all the time. For now, stability is the priority."

Since he said this out loud, Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli stopped arguing, but the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was still full of coldness, and it was obvious that they wanted to just drive the other away.

Only the idiot Kunlun Jing seemed to be completely unaware of the smell of gunpowder and the sinister atmosphere in the air, and just kept nodding his head.

You beast, what are you mumbling about!

Chen Guanshui wanted to give her a slap on the head, but he was worried that it would seem too intimate and let the two ladies discover a new enemy, so he could only let her go for the time being and continued to speak earnestly:

"Repairing the sky is related to the fate of this world, and it cannot be taken lightly. I know that I have made many mistakes in the past, and I really owe you two too much. Although I have the righteousness of repairing the sky, it is not a reason for me to shirk my responsibility. After the repair of the sky is completed, I will leave it to you ladies to decide. If you want to kill me or cut me into pieces, I will never shrink back!"

Shi Liuli and Xu Yinglian were stunned at first, and then they sneered in their hearts at the same time.

It sounds impressive! When you have really finished mending the sky and gained that great merit, you will become a benefactor of heaven and a son of destiny. Who can touch you then?

Even if someone picked up a sword to kill you, the sword would probably break inside before it even hits your neck, and wouldn't hurt you at all!

Seeing that the two ladies were silent, Chen Guanshui thought that they had stopped quarreling for the time being, and said with satisfaction:

"Since the ladies have no objections, let's focus on mending the sky first!"

After he finished his motivational speech, he turned around and left leisurely.

Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli looked at each other. For a moment, they found it difficult to muster the desire to fight each other. The only thing in their minds was how to deal with that scumbag husband to vent their anger.

"This underground fire is still not strong enough." Xu Yinglian suddenly said, "It needs to be the kind that burns the intestines and stomach. When the time comes, it will start from the soles of the feet, devouring the bones and muscles, burning the meridians, steaming the blood and flesh, and the heat and poison will attack the heart and cause unbearable pain, but when you open your mouth, you can't make a sound, and you can only exhale but not inhale."

"Yeah." Shi Liuli also agreed, "This furnace is indeed not strong enough. We need one that can trap a Nascent Soul. When the time comes, we will put it inside, and it will be burned by the fire. It will cry out to the heavens and the earth for help, but no one will respond. It will first wail for mercy, then curse, and finally be tortured to the point of being insane, with no other thoughts in its mind except regret."

Kunlun Jing was listening nearby, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

Are they really discussing how to smelt the Heaven-Repairing Stone? This... should I remind Guan Shui?

But thinking of what Guanshui said before, he really felt that "when there is no millet in the famine, why not eat meat?" Therefore, Kunlun Jing decisively pretended not to hear it, and just said with a smile:

"Thank you both fairies. If you have any instructions, just tell Yao Chi."

However, they did not mention that the two people temporarily shared a common hatred of the enemy, and how long this fragile alliance could last. They only said that Senior Sister An was still waiting outside, the Dragon Fox was preparing to sneak into the human world, and since Witch Jiang had come up empty-handed, she felt that she had lost face in front of her sister, so she drove Huanyue out of this world, and then returned to Mount Wutai to live in seclusion.

After all, he was the transformed Great Freedom Demon, and his ferocious nature was extremely ferocious, so the myocardial infarction did not last long. He soon regained his consciousness and came out again.

kill!

Kill, kill, kill, kill! When I catch that bastard husband, I will kill him first, then imprison his soul and bring it back to the Demon Palace, torturing him day and night for the whole year!

If you think about it carefully, without the body, there is indeed less fun. Venting anger is certainly venting anger, but in the end, aren't you the one who suffers?

No, I can’t kill him. I’d better use poisonous magic to torture him, and heal him while torturing him. It depends on how much he licks my boots to decide whether to forgive him or not!

But the problem is that no one knows where he has run to. Even if the great demon roams the world without a trace, it is impossible for him to accurately locate a human cultivator in this huge celestial sphere.

By the way, what method did they use to find people? It seems to be... arithmetic?

Let’s go back to the Demon Palace and ask for a sister who is proficient in divination!
