Li Yirou didn't know what was going on in his mind. She felt sorry for a moment and just kept looking at the token for attending the class.
So, Li Yi thought it over carefully and said to her seriously at Taoyuan Mountain, "I will help you refine weapons."
"You can also refine weapons?" Li Yiru looked at him in surprise. Why did he suddenly want to show off his skills? This is a treasure boy.
Li Yi's expression changed, and he said two words seriously, "Mastery."
…Li Yirou usually didn't roll her eyes unless she couldn't help it. She hadn't expected him to have such a comedic talent, and the two of them couldn't help but laugh at each other.
"How come Yu Mao encountered a sea snake, but you two are okay?" Li Yirou was still a little curious. How come only one person was injured in a team of three?
"I told him it was a sea snake, not coral, but he didn't believe me and even tried to pick it with his hands." Li Yi was speechless. He was young, and no matter what he said, neither of them really believed him, especially Yu Mao, who only believed what Lu Huairen said. As a result, something went wrong. Not only did he lose time, but he also suffered significant damage to his body.
"Is that so?" No wonder Lu Huairen's expression was a little subtle. She guessed that he must not have believed what Li Yi said, so he did not stop Yu Mao. In the end, when something went wrong, she felt powerless and had no one to blame.
That snake looked just like coral, but Li Yi could recognize it. He must have known a lot about monsters, as Li Yirou had given him another skill.
Arriving at the refining area, Li Yirou and the others handed over their ID badges and were allowed to rent the furnace for refining low-grade magical instruments for free. However, to allow Li Yi to perform better, Li Yirou paid to rent the cave with the high-grade furnace, requiring a deposit of one high-grade spirit stone and a rental fee of 10 spirit stones. As long as the furnace was not damaged, it was a very cheap price.
Li Yi paid the deposit and Li Yiru paid the rent. In his heart, she was probably very poor, but he had to maintain her self-esteem, so he also had to give her the opportunity to spend money.
He paid the deposit to reassure Li Yiru that he was really good at refining equipment and would take responsibility for any furnace explosion problems.
Li Yiru only raised her own request and didn't want to go in with him. After all, refining pills and treasures was also a survival skill for cultivators. Except for disciples, outsiders were generally not allowed to watch.
But Li Yi didn't care at all and invited him to go in with him, with a sense of meaninglessness that he could learn anything.
Li Yirou didn't care anymore, and her spiritual consciousness boldly probed in to observe. She thought refining weapons was done according to the book, but observing him refining weapons made Li Yirou feel absurd.
But his operation was too casual and abstract, and there was a huge gap between it and what Li Yirou had seen on paper. Li Yirou couldn't help but worry that he would completely waste the materials, but rationally she felt that he didn't look like the kind of person who would make promises casually.
For mineral materials, he would use spiritual fire to burn them for a while longer. But for materials like the tough bamboo that Li Yirou had taken out, he would not burn it dry, but only slightly roast it until it could bend, and then integrate it into the spiritual sword material without refining it repeatedly.
Perhaps the book's instructions were merely general standards; each ingredient needed to be refined according to its own unique characteristics. Li Yirou hadn't always followed the book's instructions when refining pills before, sometimes refining for a little longer, others for a little less. But she didn't dare go as far as he did.
Perhaps her understanding of the material came from the most superficial books of the Yijian Sect and the paper excerpts she got from Hu Qianyan. She had never read the detailed analysis and research.
It seems that whether it's refining elixirs or weapons, or practicing sword formations, it requires repeated practice and trial and error to gain true knowledge. But Li Yirou can't spare that much energy anymore; her time should be focused on improving her cultivation.
"Let's go out and try it." Li Yi admired the newly refined spiritual sword as if he was stroking his own black spiritual sword before, and then handed it back to Li Yiru. There were even a few materials left over, which he condensed into several cubes.
Arriving at the martial arts arena, Li Yirou grasped the spirit sword. After imprinting it with her spiritual consciousness, she immediately sensed the delicate balance of the five elements within it. He had actually precisely integrated each element. She had provided various amounts of materials, but he had refined them evenly.
In the Western Realm, this would be the level of a high-level weapon refiner. The spirit sword in Li Yirou's hand unleashed unprecedented power, and combined with his previous guidance, she was slightly impressed.
"Young man, you truly deserve the title of Master." Unexpectedly, what he said about "mastery" was actually true. She held the spirit sword in her hand with care, her eyes brimming with admiration. These were just ordinary materials; she wondered if he could still refine it with higher-grade materials.
But Li Yirou wouldn't take out the dead wood from the space. The way his sword absorbed the light was too similar to it. What if the other party wanted to buy it and integrate it into his own spiritual sword, and she didn't want to give it to him, wouldn't it be a bad situation?
Li Yi casually waved his hands, clasping them behind his back. "No need to call me Master." Li Yirou glanced at him from the side. Just now, she had boasted about her mastery of weapon refining, but now she was being modest? In the end, she heard him continue, "Just call me Dad."
...boring kid. Li Yirou didn't even bother to glance at him. Seeing his friend's speechless expression, Li Yi felt happy and drew out his spirit sword to teach her a move.
After a back-and-forth exchange, Li Yirou didn't dare to continue and sheathed her sword. Then she heard Li Yi's comment, "I've made progress..." Li Yirou raised an eyebrow. After a few days of training in the secret realm, had he learned to lie?
He paused and continued, "Almost none." Sure enough, he was still that straightforward person.
"The control of your spiritual power is a little more precise, but the power is still insufficient." He came over and patted her shoulder, "Keep up the good work, young man!"
Li Yirou dodged his touch while putting away her spirit sword. "Brother, if I want to quickly improve my cultivation, can I take some pills?"
"Not good." Li Yi shook his head. "Your cultivation was already solid, but after taking the elixir, it narrowed your path and became superficial. It will take twice as long to solidify your cultivation again."
This won't work. She wants to become stronger, not just to look good. Superficial cultivation is useless to her.
"What other methods are there?" As expected, there were none. There was only one path to cultivation: repeated practice of the various elements to be learned, meditation day and night, and the experience of life and death. None of these could be omitted.
"By the way, the sect has various sword formations. If you have time, practice them and you can get some experience." Li Yi told her a new practice method. "The sword formation has an illusion formation. The pain is very real, but you won't actually get hurt. It's especially suitable for low-level disciples."
"Then I'll go right away." Li Yiru did as he said. She parted with him. Li Yi probably also wanted to sell the good things he got from the secret realm. It would be inconvenient for them to act together all the time.
