Leng Yuelan is becoming increasingly unreasonable. He used to turn a blind eye to her, but now she's completely lawless! Has she forgotten who gave her everything she has now?
Leng Yuelan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She had almost forgotten about this. If she were to verify the token now and it turned out she hadn't cheated, wouldn't she be firmly accused of slandering a freshman?
With that in mind, she used the excuse of feeling unwell to lead the students of Danzong back to the academy first.
Although reason brought her back to her senses, it also created a grudge between her and Ji Jiuying!
"Girl, don't mind what she says, that's just how she is!" After saying that, the elder began to count Ji Jiuying's spirit beast cores.
Ji Jiuying just smiled when she heard this; she naturally wouldn't care about such a clown!
The other members were also counting the spirit beast cores with the elders behind them. When Qingling and Wen Longting poured out the spirit beast cores, everyone was shocked again! The two of them must have had more than a thousand cores combined! This batch of freshmen is simply too powerful!
Even Wen Chuyu and Shen Miaoqing were surprised. If this had happened to Xiao Jiu, it would have been understandable, but what they didn't know was that Xiao Jiu had forced them to do it!
It was only then that Wen Chuyu noticed that her usually carefree younger sister had suddenly become more composed, and even her strength had increased by two stars. Her grandfather, father, and mother would be very happy to see this. It seemed that following Xiao Jiu was the right decision! A smile appeared on Wen Chuyu's face.
The three of them went from being penniless with no points to becoming slightly wealthy, and the feeling was simply amazing!
Before nightfall, everyone returned to the academy.
After a few tiring days, I could finally rest. As soon as I entered the yard, there was a loud bang, and thick smoke billowed from the old man's yard.
What on earth is this old man doing?
Ji Jiuying stepped into the courtyard. "Old Yu, what are you doing?"
"Cough cough cough~ My good disciple, you're back?" A disheveled old man appeared from the thick smoke, his hair sticking up in all directions, his face covered in black soot! How comical!
"Old Yu, did you accidentally blow up your furnace while forging weapons?"
Old Man Yu blushed. This girl was asking a question he already knew the answer to. Could he really say no?
"Girl, how was it? Was it going well in the Boundless Mountains? Was it a lot of fun?"
"Hmm~ It's alright!" Ji Jiuying didn't plan to tell Old Man Yu about what happened in the Boundless Mountains, because she knew that even if she didn't say it, it would reach his ears.
By this time, the smoke in the room had dissipated. Ji Jiuying stepped forward and looked at it curiously. "Old man, what kind of spiritual artifact are you refining?"
"Hmph~ It's all because of that old man Shen. He insisted that I forge a Saint-grade ice-type sword for him." Old Man Yu pouted and said disdainfully.
A holy-grade ice-type sword? Could it be for Miao Qing?
"By the way, girl, since you have five elemental roots, what level are you at in weapon crafting?" Old Man Yu asked.
"Uh, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be at the intermediate level..." Old Man Yu was stunned! How could I only be at the intermediate level? This doesn't make sense! "Girl, you're not lying to this old man?"
"Would I eat if I lied to you?" Ji Jiuying said irritably.
Thinking of something, Ji Jiuying took out the Blazing Sun Bow, and the aura of a divine artifact wafted out. "Old man, can you help me see if there's anything wrong with this Blazing Sun Bow?"
Old Man Yu suddenly turned around, his eyes wide as he stared at the Blazing Sun Bow in Ji Jiuying's hand. How could the Blazing Sun Bow be in her possession? He muttered to himself, "The divine weapon, the Blazing Sun Bow!"
Coming to his senses, he took a few steps forward and said, "Bring it here, let the old man take a look!"
Ji Jiuying noticed the old man's expression. He seemed to know the origin of the Blazing Sun Bow, but Ji Jiuying still placed the Blazing Sun Bow in his hand.
Old Man Yu frowned, his expression turning serious. "Girl, who gave you this Blazing Sun Bow?"
"The city lord of the far north lost to me." Ji Jiuying didn't intend to hide it from him; perhaps he could answer her questions.
"Girl, this Blazing Sun Bow is a divine artifact. How could it be given away so easily? This bow has been bound by a spell. Luckily, you haven't contracted it yet, otherwise you and the bow would have fallen into his hands!" Old Man Yu explained, also puzzled that a city lord of a capital city would use such a binding spell!
"What do you mean?" Ji Jiuying asked. Of course she knew that Hua Shi'an was not being kind. Heh, just as she thought!
"This Blazing Sun Bow has an owner. Although it was forcibly contracted, it did not gain the Blazing Sun Bow's recognition and could not unleash even a tenth of its power. However, the bow was bound by a kind of soul-binding restraint. Once you make a blood contract, you will lose all your memories and only have eyes for the person who placed the restraint!"
Old Man Yu explained that from the moment she asked the question, she must have known that there was something wrong with the bow. He was also glad that Ji Jiuying was careful and did not rush to form a contract. If it were anyone else who got this artifact, they probably would have wanted to form a contract immediately.
Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes. She knew that Hua Shi'an had ill intentions, but she didn't expect him to still be so persistent. She was determined to make him lose everything!
At this moment, he was also puzzled. Even his second uncle from the higher realm could not see that the bow was restricted. How did Old Man Yu know?
Ji Jiuying looked at Old Man Yu with a scrutinizing gaze, and Old Man Yu touched his nose somewhat guiltily upon seeing this.
“You old geezer, you really know a lot,” Ji Jiuying said meaningfully.
"Am I not knowledgeable and experienced enough?"
Seeing this, Ji Jiuying didn't ask any further questions. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and she was no exception. "Is there a way to sever the connection with him and remove this confinement?"
Old Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, there is, but it's a bit troublesome!"
What do you need?
"Breaking the contract requires that person's blood, while breaking the bondage requires finding someone skilled in imposing bondage."
Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. Obtaining Hua Shi'an's blood from thousands of miles away was going to be difficult! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. She remembered meeting Gu Qingfeng at the market and immediately had an idea.
"I have my own way of dealing with that person's blood. Give me some time if you're skilled at immobilization." Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes, intending to ask her uncle when she saw him.
But then she inadvertently glanced at the old man beside her, who was looking up at her with a proud gaze. Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly. "Old man, you wouldn't happen to be...?"
"That's right! I'm the old man you've been looking for. Surprised? Unexpected?"
Ji Jiuying rolled her eyes at him, "Oh~"
"By the way, girl, go to your weapon crafting class tomorrow. A very skilled weapon crafter has just arrived at the academy. If you have any questions when you get back, you can come to me," Old Man Yu added.
"knew!"
Ji Jiuying has five elemental spiritual roots and is also the dean's apprentice, so she can go to either one. However, she does lack experience in weapon crafting!
