At first, she didn't feel anything, but the next moment, her whole body felt like it was being pricked by needles, and the dense pain made her cry out in agony.
Although the pain lasted less than a quarter of an hour, her once almost solid body became mostly illusory. The sword energy she originally carried had already been used up by eight or nine tenths during the battle with that great demon, and there wasn't much left. With this, the sword she had to fight to the death to unleash at the peak of the Fusion Realm was gone.
Ye Shubai's eyes lit up as a wisp of unclaimed sword energy appeared in his dantian. He could refine it whenever he wanted, making it the perfect opportunity to stabilize his realm after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.
The reason he let Ye Sisi deal with this unruly fellow was twofold: firstly, because Chenxu had indeed caused trouble at a crucial moment; and secondly, because he couldn't use the final sword energy and it still belonged to Chenxu.
To be honest, he really couldn't understand how this girl's brain worked. She had become his sword spirit, and to put it bluntly, they were all in the same boat. Why was she still holding back? Didn't she know that the stronger she was, the greater the benefits she would receive?
Considering her behavior, she really doesn't know what's going on in her head, so it's normal for her to do things that harm others without benefiting herself. She needs to be taught a lesson in the future, and even if she's cunning, she should use it for good.
This time, Chen Xu was truly obedient. She sat on the ground with a pale face, not daring to show even a trace of resentment. Her consciousness was only born by chance, and her understanding of this world mostly came from Chen Ning's experiences. Her memories were incomplete, as well as from some miscellaneous books she read when she was bored, and the old beast who tried to refine that space.
Forget it, just behave yourself from now on. She's still alive, isn't she? You should be grateful.
Ye Shubai beckoned and said, "From now on, just call me Master. Also, let bygones be bygones. As for the future, as long as you don't do anything excessive, we can live in peace."
Taking advantage of the situation, she obediently nodded, completely losing all her previous mischievousness.
Seeing that the little guy seemed genuinely scared, Ye Sisi reached out and summoned Xiao Liuli's spirit. "Xiao Liuli, have a good chat with our new friend. It wouldn't be good if it left any psychological scars."
Little Liuli smiled sweetly and pulled the trembling girl aside for a heart-to-heart talk, creating a particularly beautiful and heartwarming scene.
Ye Sisi took out a large piece of fresh monster meat and skillfully washed and cut it into strips.
Lin Shuangluo and Ouyang Yanyu were skewering meat on the side.
Ye Shubai then started grilling the meat. The four of them had clear division of labor and worked together smoothly. At the same time, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The meat of a tenth-level demon must be delicious.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Sisi couldn't help but touch her stomach, which felt warm and cozy. It was indeed good food. It would be a waste not to take this opportunity to temper her body after eating so much meat. "Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, I'm going back to cultivate now."
The three of them stood up. Their junior sister was working so hard, so they, as her senior brothers and sisters, had to step up too. The main problem was that if they didn't cultivate, when would they ever be able to digest the spiritual energy in their bodies? There was no other way; they were just that diligent.
The four exchanged glances and smiled broadly. When it came to fierce competition, their Heavenly Spirit Sect had never been afraid of anyone.
The next morning, the four of them, along with Baili Zhuoran and his group, took the teleportation array to the Divine Path Sect.
As can be seen from the sect's name, the Shinto Sect is a sect that leans towards Taoist cultivation and is extremely confident in its own Taoist methods; otherwise, it would not have used the word "Shinto" before "Tao."
The Divine Path, the Divine Path—only those with great fortune could bear such a name, and it's no wonder it's the top dog in the Holy Spirit Domain.
Baili Zhuoran kept his word and took them directly to Jiulu Peak.
Fire Dragon True Lord was an old man with half-white hair and a somewhat hunched and thin figure. In any case, he didn't have the demeanor of a great master at all when he stood there.
His face was kind, not at all like the rumors of him being unapproachable and having a strange temper; he was just like an ordinary old neighbor.
Ye Sisi and the other three bowed respectfully to the Fire Dragon True Lord, one of the top figures in the weapon-refining world, with utmost sincerity, since they needed his help.
What they didn't notice was Baili Zhuoran's astonished expression. In all his years of cultivation at the Divine Path Sect, when had he ever seen his hot-tempered senior uncle so amiable? It was even stranger than seeing a ghost.
So he couldn't help but pinch his arm hard. Hmm, it really hurt. He wasn't dreaming. Could it be that his Uncle-Master Fire Dragon had been possessed?
That's impossible! Although Master Huolong isn't particularly skilled in combat, his spiritual sense as an alchemist and weapon refiner is renowned for being incredibly powerful. How could someone silently possess a weapon refiner in the Integration Stage?
Just as he was lost in thought, the Fire Dragon True Lord, who had just been all smiles, suddenly changed his expression and gave him a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
Baili Zhuoran breathed a sigh of relief. That's right. That senior uncle just now was absolutely terrifying. His laughter was more creepy than crying.
Ye Sisi and the others then stated their needs, and True Lord Fire Dragon listened with a smile.
Then the group reached a deal: in exchange for half of the bones and scales of a tenth-tier demon, they would ask this second-in-command of the weapon-refining world to help them improve the quality of their magic weapon.
Then, the other half of the materials were sold to Lord Fire Dragon at market price.
Ye Sisi was in high spirits. Not only was the hot potato gone, but she also gained a sum of spirit stones and the opportunity to ask True Monarch Fire Dragon to help her again. She got three things in one go. The Divine Path Sect was truly a wonderful place.
After seeing their natal swords, True Lord Fire Dragon did not immediately take action. Instead, he decided to consider the matter first. In his own words, anything produced by Fire Dragon was of the highest quality and he would never use inferior materials.
