After saying that, he left and considerately closed the door.
Zuan glanced around. The room was spacious, with several exquisite screens, a fine carpet on the floor, and expensive incense burning on the table.
These are not in the style of the snake clan; many of them are similar to the layout of the Yu family's home. It seems that Yu Yanluo sent people to transport some furniture here over the years.
This woman certainly knows how to enjoy life in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
However, Zuan's mind was not on this at the moment. Instead, he changed his previous smile, took out the Tai'a sword to examine it, and looked distressed.
Because several spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the blade.
That was the wound left from the previous victory against the Sun Arrow.
The Sun-Shooting Arrow was so powerful that even the Tai'a Sword couldn't withstand it.
Just then, a wisp of red smoke drifted out, and then a beautiful woman in palace attire appeared on the bed not far away. On her exquisite face, her signature phoenix eyes revealed a faint hint of disdain.
Zu'an was both surprised and delighted: "Empress, you're awake?"
"Call me Master!" The beautiful woman in palace attire was naturally Mi Li, and she corrected her with a stern face.
Zu'an then remembered that he had already become an apprentice, so he had to change his address to "Master!"
“That’s more like it,” Mi Li nodded in satisfaction. “With the commotion you’ve caused, it’s hard for Master not to wake up.”
After saying that, he yawned lazily, as if he were very tired.
"I have disturbed my master's rest, and I deserve to die." Zu'an was filled with lingering fear. Mi Li's soul was temporarily residing in the Tai'a Sword. If the Tai'a Sword were destroyed, wouldn't she also be reduced to ashes?
Mi Li reached out and the Tai'a sword was already in her hand. She looked at the cracks on it in silence.
The Tai'a sword was a divine sword of the Chu state, and was later sent to the Qin state, where it became the imperial sword of the King of Qin. It held extraordinary significance for the Chu princess who later became the Queen of Qin.
Seeing the sadness in her eyes, Zuan felt even more guilty: "It's all because of my lack of strength that Tai'a Sword suffered this irreparable injury."
Mi Li shook her head slightly: "That Sun-Shooting Bow is a top-tier divine weapon. The Tai'a Sword has not yet recovered its former strength. It's all thanks to you that it wasn't shot in half on the spot."
Zuan was taken aback: "Can the Tai'a sword be restored?"
“Of course it is possible,” Mi Li replied. “The Tai’a Sword has had its power sealed, and over the long years, its grade has declined, losing its former glory. If you can reforge and temper it, you can not only repair the cracks but also restore it to the grade of a divine weapon.”
Zuan was overjoyed: "I will go and find skilled craftsmen to reforge the Tai'a sword."
Mi Li shook her head: "Although the Tai'a Sword has been downgraded, it can still be considered a Celestial-level weapon. It is not something that ordinary craftsmen can forge. It requires some legendary weapon-forging methods to forge a weapon of Celestial-level or higher."
"What kind of weapon-refining method is it? Master, can you teach me so I can try it out?" Zu An asked excitedly.
"I don't know how," Mi Li said calmly.
Zuan: "???"
"Didn't you used to boast that you had read all the books in the world and were familiar with all the schools of thought in ancient China?"
Mi Li was a little annoyed: "I have read a lot of books, but I only read the ones that interest me. Back then, I was the empress. How could I be interested in things like blacksmithing and sword forging? Besides, there is no method for forging divine weapons in the Qin Kingdom's library."
“Then what should we do?” Zuan reached out and stroked the crack on the sword. “With this crack, if the Tai’a sword breaks one day, your soul will be without protection and you will easily get into trouble.”
Mi Li shuddered and slapped his hand away: "How many times have I told you? You're not allowed to touch the sword normally."
However, realizing she had overreacted and worried he might make that connection, she quickly coughed lightly and continued:
"However, since you still have some filial piety, I suddenly remembered a record I saw in an ancient book that might contain clues about the method of forging divine artifacts."
