Chapter 60: Senior Sister's Destiny Sword

Now that the pancake pan is ready, it cannot be left idle.

Strike while the iron is hot. No, fry the pancakes while the iron is hot.

Nanwang took out the grill, placed the pancake rack on it, and then skillfully took out the flint and lit it.

Before starting to make pancakes, Nan Wang reached out and felt the temperature of every part of the flat plate.

"Very good, the heating is very even, perfect, Fifth Sister."

"That's right, don't you see who I am?"

Having received approval from his senior brother, Lingzhi spoke much louder.

Nan Wang took out batter, various vegetables, eggs, seasonings and sausages he made himself from the storage bag. After quickly processing the ingredients, he spread the batter evenly on the frying pan. After the bottom was solidified and browned, he quickly turned it over and added the ingredients.

While they were making pancakes, Nanwang and Lingzhi started chatting about the secret realm:

"Speaking of which, Fifth Junior Sister, how did you fail in that secret realm?"

"Ahhh, Senior Brother, you don't know, I really want to piss them off to death!"

When Lingzhi mentioned the failure in the secret realm, his teeth itched with hatred:

"There is a holy pond on the fifth floor of the Fox Terrace. The pond is full of holy fruits that are said to bloom once every thousand years and bear fruit once every ten thousand years. I thought it was strange at the time. How could a holy fruit that takes ten thousand years to bear fruit bloom in a pond? It's better to be careful with such an abnormal secret treasure, but... but they didn't listen to me. Two disciples from the Qingyun Sect insisted on going to find out what was going on, so I had to go with them. As a result, they all fell into the trap of the fox fairy. The holy fruit turned out to be a heart-digger with fangs, and the holy pond was a large-scale soul-bewitching soup. Once you enter, you can't get out."

Nan Wang was surprised and asked, "But you have a mind that is exquisitely refined. Logically, you shouldn't be confused."

Lingzhi said: "Yes, I was not bewitched, but there is a soul-locking formation under the holy pool. It kills one side and traps another. After obtaining enough spiritual energy, the power of the soul-locking formation increases greatly, revealing its true form, and easily trapping everyone who enters it later..."

Nan Wang was quick to realize that something was wrong: "Why did you enter later? Didn't you enter with them?"

Lingzhi was choked immediately.

Nan Wang understood clearly and said, "You want to save people."

Lingzhi's face turned red, and he stammered, "I thought there was no problem, but... who knew this formation was so tricky? It's said that the North Territory Secret Realm is rich in formations. This time I've seen it, it really lives up to its reputation!"

While Nanwang was spreading sauces and brushing sweet sauce on the pancakes, he said calmly, "Qingyun Sect's Rule 42 states that those who enter the secret realm must be on their own and not care about others."

Lingzhi said unhappily, "Brother, you and Senior Sister are becoming more and more alike. You always talk about great principles."

Nan Wang said complacently: "It is said that if you keep company with a good person, you will be known as a good person; if you keep company with a bad person, you will be known as a bad person. I am close to Senior Sister, so naturally I have learned some of her style."

The pancake was just finished, so Nanwang wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to Lingzhi.

Lingzhi happily took the pancake, and before he ate it, he didn't forget to complain: "Huh, you're still talking about me, brother, you came to save me yourself, the sect rules are meant to be broken!"

Nanwang couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Who says it isn't?

After discarding the crumbs, Nan Wang re-mixed the batter and continued to ask, "So you didn't encounter the monster?"

Lingzhi was about to open his mouth to take a bite of the pancake, but upon hearing this, he closed his mouth again and replied:

"I was in the bottle of my senior sister when the monster appeared, and I didn't see much of the monster's appearance... But I can be sure that no monster appeared during our visit."

Nan Wang nodded worriedly.

If the monster is a mysterious beast, then it is not a big problem, because the Fairy Fox Secret Realm has been ended, and the mysterious beast will disappear along with the secret realm. In the original work, there has never been a situation where the same beast repeatedly appears in different secret realms, and I believe that such a thing will not happen in reality.

However, based on what Fifth Junior Sister said, this monster might not be a beast from the secret realm, but a beast that entered the secret realm from the outside, or a contracted spirit beast of a certain attacker, or a certain attacker himself...

No matter what, the appearance of such a powerful monster in the world of immortal cultivation is not good news.

An Nuo poked his head out from Nanwang's arms and looked at the new pancakes eagerly.

“Chichichi!”

Add more green onions and more coriander, I love it!

"The pancakes are so delicious, you are worthy of being my senior brother...By the way, senior brother, did you know that our eldest sister's sword is broken again?"

Lingzhi munched on the pancake so hard that his cheeks were bulging and he had to squeeze out sounds from between his teeth when he spoke.

Nanwang replied casually: "I know, the sword was broken by the monster in the secret realm. Why do you say 'again'? Does the senior sister's sword often break?"

"It breaks frequently. It has happened several times."

Lingzhi ate the cake in big mouthfuls and said incoherently:

"Ordinary swords cannot withstand the power of the Glazed Sword, so they will naturally break after a few uses. Most of the immortal swords are arrogant and can only be driven by one's own spirit."

Nanwang said: "So, without the natal sword, Senior Sister cannot unleash the full power of the Glazed Sword?"

Lingzhi said: "Of course, using reason to convince people is only a top-grade spiritual sword, at most it can only allow Senior Sister to exert... 10% or 20% of her strength."

Hearing this, the shovel in Nanwang's hand stopped for a moment.

He was just worried about the unknown monster, but now he suddenly felt that he might be worrying too much.

Isn't the solution to the crisis very simple? Just create a natal sword for the senior sister and let her exert her full strength!

The haze that had been lingering in his heart for many days was suddenly swept away, and Nanwang became energetic:

"According to the date, the elders should be back soon, and the eldest sister's natal sword should be ready soon!"

Everyone in the sect knew that Du Xueling abandoned his original spiritual sword after Du Shuangyan left.

Just like everyone else in the sect, Nan Wang also believed that Du Xueling's next natal sword would come from the hands of an elder from the Weapon Sect.

Although Du Xueling's previous natal sword was made for her by Du Shuangyan, blood relationship has another meaning in the world of immortal cultivation: sisters with one mind can cut through metal with one strength. The spiritual sword refined by Du Shuangyan might exert power beyond her own in the hands of Du Xueling, who is connected by blood. In addition, Du Xueling is a person who attaches great importance to kinship. It is indeed possible for her to make the glazed sword refined by Du Shuangyan into her natal sword.

Now that the Glazed Sword has been abandoned and Du Shuangyan has left Qingyun Sect, the only person who is capable of forging a natal sword for Du Xueling is the Elder of the Weapon Sect...

"I don't need an elder. I can also ask my senior sister to forge my own sword."

Lingzhi's tone was extremely calm, so calm that it seemed as if he was saying that the weather was good today.

She was sitting on the rockery in the courtyard, her short legs swaying back and forth, a thousand-flower bell tinkling behind her head, and she looked calm and at ease, eating a pancake out of boredom. She said this casually halfway through her meal, as if it were a joke.

If other people from Qingyun Sect were present at this moment, they would probably say, "Fifth Junior Sister, stop joking." But the person here was Nanwang.

"That's great! Senior Sister's swordsmanship is unmatched in the world. If she can also use the sword that Fifth Junior Sister you forged, how powerful she would be? Oh my God, I dare not even think about it..."

Nan Wang's face was filled with anticipation, and he even stopped making the pancakes. The edges of the pancakes that he had not turned over in time were slightly burnt, giving off a strong aroma of grains.

An Nuo was so anxious that he started to scream and jump wildly in Nan Wang's arms, trying to get Nan Wang's attention back.

"It's just a little burnt. It's okay. Try it first. If it doesn't taste good, I'll get you a new one."

Nanwang bowed his head and comforted Tutu for a while, then said to Lingzhi:

"Fifth Junior Sister, you must practice swordplay well. The Immortal Sect Arena will be here soon. With your magical sword, the eldest senior sister will be able to kill everyone and become the leader of the Immortal Sect!"

His eyebrows were raised, and his sparkling eyes were full of sincere trust, without any flattery or compliments.

His gaze was so sincere and firm that it gave those who were being stared at the courage from the bottom of their hearts not to let him down.

Lingzhi put down the half-eaten pancake in his hand and said seriously: "Brother, do you really think I can forge a natal sword for our eldest sister?"

Her face was covered with pancake crumbs and her eyes were as bright as the starry night.

"Of course, you can do it! Who are you? You are the future leader of weapon cultivators in the world!"

Nan Wang poked the pancake hard with the shovel in his hand. The steel collided with each other, making a loud and crisp sound, as if it was beating a drum to accompany his words.

The Lingzhi in the original novel did become the best weapon cultivator in the world in the future. Even the heroine who had achieved a happy ending with the hero had to ask the Lingzhi to refine a weapon.

As for whether the spiritual branch in the original work is the spiritual branch at this moment... for Nan Wang, it is no longer important.

The moment he suppressed his fear and entered the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, when he reunited with his fellow brothers and sisters in the secret realm and saw the blazing soul lamp, he had already determined in his heart that this was Lingzhi, the only fifth sister of Qingyun Sect in the world.

Lingzhi grinned and said, "Brother, you really have a good eye. I will forge this natal sword for Senior Sister!"

"I'm sure my elder sister will be very happy that you're willing to help me with sword-forging. By the way, my elder sister got a lot of good stuff from the Immortal Fox Secret Realm this time... ahem. You can go take a look, maybe you can find some materials that can be used on your natal sword."

Nanwang was still making suggestions sincerely, as if he had already regarded the fact that "the spiritual branch could successfully forge a natal sword for Du Xueling" as an established fact.

Lingzhi smiled and said, "I know, don't worry, Senior Brother. I won't be short of materials. When I forge the sword, the whole sect will come to watch. The elders will open the treasure house of the Qi Sect and let me choose the treasure of the Qi Sect. And I... I will use the best materials in the whole sect to forge an unparalleled and peerless sword for Senior Sister."

"Ah? It's such a big deal. After all, it's for the senior sister to practice swordplay, so it's reasonable to focus on it."

Nan Wang was completely unable to hear the hidden meaning behind Ling Zhi's words and spoke foolishly.

Lingzhi didn't explain much, just responded with a sweet smile.
