The ore of Black Flame Divine Gold has a very peculiar characteristic: if it is not preserved immediately after being mined, it will be melted by the rolling lava, and even if Danyangzi and Chibi have fire-repelling treasures, it will be useless.
So much so that the moment Danyangzi dug it out, he immediately put it into his storage bag and then left the incredibly hot, thousand-meter-deep pool with Chili.
Fire-repelling artifacts can only prevent them from being harmed; they cannot insulate them from the scorching heat, and staying in this pool for too long is not pleasant.
Danyangzi and Chili left the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool without stopping, as the temperature by the pool was still very high, and neither of them wanted to stay any longer.
Just as they had come, the two avoided the phoenix's patrol and soon returned to the clearing in the woods in the central area where they had met.
Danyangzi felt weak as soon as he landed, and his body lurched forward uncontrollably. Chili caught him quickly, preventing him from falling.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Akari's voice was full of concern.
This made Danyangzi somewhat incredulous.
Would the devil care?
Danyangzi steadied himself and calmed down. When he saw Chili withdraw her hand from supporting him, he was reluctant to let go, but he still managed to suppress this inappropriate thought.
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while."
Danyangzi took out the rather large black-gold ore from his storage bag and examined it closely with Chili.
"Wow, it truly is the best material for forging swords. If it were to be fused and forged with the Holy Spirit Ice Soul, the resulting sword would undoubtedly be the number one sword in the world!" Dan Yangzi and Chi Li's eyes were equally fervent.
As swordsmiths, they share the same ideal and ambition: to create the best swords from the best materials.
Forging a sword with Black Flame Divine Gold and Holy Spirit Ice Soul sounds simple, but collecting the materials alone requires a lot of effort.
The collection of Black Flame Divine Gold alone is extremely difficult. It requires sneaking into the Phoenix Clan's forbidden area and diving into a thousand-meter-deep molten lava pool. To enter the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool, one needs not only immense strength but also magical tools that can ward off fire and facilitate rapid collection.
These preparations are all essential; otherwise, one could be buried in a thousand-meter-deep lava pool.
While it may seem as easy as a picnic for Danyoko and Akari to obtain the ore for forging Black Flame Divine Gold, one should not overlook the hard work and preparation they put in behind the scenes.
Neither Danyoko nor Akari noticed that the two were standing very close to each other while admiring the black gold ore. Obsessed with sword forging, the two were gradually forgetting each other's identities and racial issues.
At this moment, Danyangzi and Chili are just two ordinary swordsmiths, admiring the top-quality materials before them.
Danyangzi said to Chili, "If you're worried about leaving it with me, you can leave it with me."
Akari turned her gaze away from the black gold ore, looked at Danyangzi, winked at him playfully, and replied, "Keep it with you, let you experience what it feels like to own it. You won't be able to experience that once I defeat you."
Dan Yangzi's lips twitched slightly. Chili was good in every way, quite cute, except that her mouth was a bit sharp-tongued.
Akari is a member of the demon race. Demons are a later-developed race, descendants of the interbreeding of demons and humans. Akari does not have the demon horns and tails unique to demons, but she does have demon wings and demon markings.
Apart from these two characteristics, Akari is actually quite similar to humans.
Although Danyangzi was a member of the immortal race, he did not advocate enslaving or persecuting humans and demons; he actually quite liked humans.
Feeling that she hadn't fully recovered, Danyoko decided to stay in this forest clearing in the central district with Akari for two days to rest before setting off again.
Danyangzi took out a small bamboo courtyard ornament from his storage bag and threw it into the open space in front of him. The small bamboo courtyard instantly turned into a large bamboo courtyard and sat on the open space.
He stepped forward, pushed open the gate of the bamboo courtyard, turned around and said "Please come in" to Akari, who walked in with light steps.
The courtyard, though not small, is paved with stone bricks, and there is a small patch of green bamboo in the corner, giving people a refreshing feeling. Next to the bamboo is a stone table and four stone chairs, with tea set on the stone table.
There were quite a few rooms in the Great Bamboo Courtyard. After Chili toured the place, she sincerely praised Danyangzi, saying, "Your idea is excellent. Using the enlarging and shrinking stones to make such a dwelling is a good idea."
Dan Yangzi felt quite happy to hear Chi Li praise her, but she stubbornly replied, "This is nothing to me. Surely the legendary demon swordsmith hasn't thought of this before?"
Akari rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "Does this guy have to be arrogant and argumentative to survive?"
As the sun set in the west, Chili sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, while Danyangzi descended from the sky, carrying several plump, live fish.
"You're in for a treat today! On the way back, I spotted a river nearby and caught a few fish. Would you like some grilled fish?"
Akari hadn't expected Danyoko to ask for her opinion, so she pursed her lips and nodded.
"Anything is fine."
Danyangzi smiled and nodded, clearly very satisfied with the fish in his hand. He immediately ran to the kitchen, ready to cook some delicious grilled fish for Chili Lu.
He learned how to grill fish from the human slaves he kept at home. Humans are very skilled at cooking, and Danyangzi often learned how to cook from them.
Aside from sword forging, Danyangzi's favorite thing was cooking.
Akari gazed at the wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen, her eyes deep and lost in thought.
She stood up and stretched, and with her magic wings retracted, she looked even more petite and adorable, like a girl next door. With her hands behind her back, Akari strolled leisurely toward the kitchen.
Before even reaching the kitchen, one could smell the aroma emanating from Danyangzi's grilled fish. As they approached the kitchen door, Akari leaned against the doorway, watching Danyangzi flip the fish over on the grill.
"Are you eager to eat it?" Danyangzi noticed the arrival of the red pear.
Akari sighed and went along with him, saying, "Yes, yes, when will it be ready? I can't wait to eat the fish grilled by the legendary swordsmith of the immortal realm."
Danyangzi took the spice bottle next to him and sprinkled some on the grilled fish to enhance the aroma. He smiled and said, "Don't rush it. Grilled fish can't be rushed. It has to be grilled slowly to make it fragrant."
Akari walked closer to the grill, took a sniff, and found it smelled even better than before.
"What did you sprinkle? It smells even better than before!"
Danyangzi shook the spice bottle and replied, "This is a spice powder I learned to make from the humans in my family. Humans are a very magical race; their food is delicious."
Akari found it strange. Among all the races, the immortals and the ghosts oppressed the human race the most. Why did you seem so easy to get along with?
This made Akari realize that the immortal man in front of her seemed different from those pretentious guys.
Seeing Danyangzi busy, Akari asked him, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Danyangzi pointed to the tender green vegetable leaves next to the earthenware jar for washing vegetables.
"Wash those vegetables, I'll cook something else later, we'll get tired of eating grilled fish all the time."
Akari walked towards the earthenware jar, rolled up her sleeves, picked up some vegetable leaves, and began to wash them. The two of them didn't speak again, but silently went about their work.
