"Yes, but the flow of time will be at most three times that of the outside world, and I will need some time to refine a celestial weapon."
Ye Sisi asked with a puzzled look, "Senior Brother, when did you learn how to forge weapons?"
"I taught my junior brother the basics of weapon crafting, don't you think?"
"No, senior brother, why did you hide this skill from us? Otherwise, why would we need to ask the Fire Dragon True Monarch to upgrade our natal sword? Do you know how much we paid back then? The skeleton of a Mahayana stage demon, do you know how much it was worth?"
Su Jiuli sighed and explained, "I was only a beginner before. I'm not that interested in weapon crafting. I was a weapon crafter in one of my past lives, but that's just a memory. I've never actually used it, and I didn't have time back then. Alright, alright, why do you have so many questions? You're not short of money. It's only natural for you to pay someone to craft weapons for you."
Ye Sisi couldn't help but pout: "But that's different. If you do it, you don't have to pay."
Su Jiuli...
So they just treat him like a free laborer? Seriously, this is so frustrating. This junior sister is not considerate at all.
"Alright, alright, I'll just give you all my money, you just need to focus on your cultivation."
Ye Sisi sighed and shook her head. If her fifth senior brother were here, he would definitely understand her point of view. Is this about money? Cough cough, of course it's about money, but it's not about using family members' money to fill a hole.
Forget it, her senior brother has it tough too, always worrying about this and that. She shouldn't add to his troubles.
Despite her inner grumbling, Ye Sisi obediently sat down not far from Su Jiuli and began refining this extremely rare core essence.
She still didn't know what material the outer layer of the beads was made of, and even now she still didn't dare to find out what was different about the things inside.
Logically speaking, Wuyou is one of the seven innate gods of the Outer Heavens, and there is an inseparable connection between gods and core origins. She should be able to sense it, especially since Su Jiuli could recognize it.
Ahem, she wasn't looking down on her senior brother, she was just genuinely confused. Although her senior brother was very strong, much stronger than she was now, he hadn't been a god before, and he himself had said that he was just Su Jiuli in this life.
Sigh, if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it. Maybe it's because it's a companion spirit herb.
Ye Sisi held the bead in her palm. She didn't know how to refine it, so she could only refine it like she would a spirit stone.
Her spiritual energy entangled the ping-pong ball for a long time, but the ball didn't react at all. Then she looked at Su Jiuli pitifully and said, "Senior Brother, this thing is so hard, I can't refine it."
Su Jiuli's lips curved slightly, her gentle voice carrying a hint of amusement: "When did Junior Sister become so gentle?"
Ye Sisi...
"Senior Brother, you need to make this clear. When have I ever been anything but gentle? Otherwise, I'll never forgive you."
Su Jiuli continued working with her hands, and the laughter in her voice deepened: "Just like now."
Ye Sisi...
Ahhhh, her fiery temper is about to explode! If this were her fifth senior brother, they would definitely start fighting right away, but this is her eldest senior brother, and she can't afford to offend him for now. Oh well, she'll just have to hold back for now.
Wait a minute, why is she holding back? Even if she were to stab her senior brother now, he probably wouldn't be willing to hit her, right?
But after looking at her senior brother, who seemed to be busy all the time, she put away her unfriendly thoughts. She was a sweet and considerate girl, and she had to be magnanimous.
So he softened his voice and said, "Senior Brother, what did you mean by that just now? Did you want me to use my sword to cut you?"
Su Jiuli's well-defined fingers trembled almost imperceptibly, and his expression became somewhat uneasy. This was quite a peculiar junior sister, but he was not used to it at all. He should have known better than to tease her.
He adjusted very quickly, and Ye Sisi didn't notice anything unusual at all.
"You can just crush the outer shell with a little force. It's a special material from the Outer Heavens. It's not very hard, but it's a good thing for concealing your aura."
"By the way, don't rush when you're refining it. It might hurt a bit, but it shouldn't be as powerful as the sword energy from the Heavenly Sword Abyss. And refining this will make your future path much smoother."
Thinking of the dazzling yet utterly unforgiving sword energy of Tianjian Abyss, Ye Sisi's face fell. Look, her senior brother has indeed changed.
In the past, she would have comforted him or given him something nice. She would never have been so nonchalant. Does that mean she's no longer a girl just because she's become more powerful and thick-skinned? She can feel pain and cry too, you know.
Cough cough cough, just kidding. Pain is nothing. As for crying, isn't that the specialty of the innocent female lead? Just kidding. She can cry, but do girls from Chongqing cry?
Lost in her own thoughts, she completely failed to notice the subtle smile in Su Jiuli's eyes and the slight curve of his exquisitely sculpted lips.
She crushed the unremarkable-looking bead with force, and then a milky white mist that made her feel happy and close rushed into her body without wasting a single drop.
Only now did she understand why it was said that innate deities and the core of a realm were closely related. She even had the illusion that she was born from this mist.
Could it be that all the gods of the Outer Heavens were born from that mysterious core of the realm? Ahhh, this world is so fantastical!
Although her mind was churning with thoughts, she didn't stop moving. In fact, she didn't need to move at all. The mist seeped into her body through her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and pores. She felt more comfortable than she had ever felt in her life. Even her super-version massage charm didn't have a tenth of the effect.
She then realized that Su Jiuli had been teasing her earlier, saying that it didn't hurt at all, and that it was actually very comfortable. Now she just hated Gao Zhen for being so stingy and giving her so little.
