"But my intuition tells me that he will soon notice you! Xiao Jiu, you must never let go of the jade pendant on your body. Remember, if you ever run into him, don't get entangled with him, and never let him see the jade pendant on your body." Feng Che solemnly instructed.
He could join forces with Xiao Jiu to kill the Third Elder, but he couldn't possibly kill his own younger brother! The only thing he could do now was to protect Ji Jiuying and try his best to prevent the rest of the Feng family from finding her. He would never let Ji Jiuying follow in Feng Lan's footsteps!
He didn't know why Xiao Jiu was so fixated on the Heavenly Domain Continent, but he still hoped that Ji Jiuying could live her entire life in this realm and never set foot on the Heavenly Domain Continent. Once she did, her future enemy would be the entire Four Directions City…
"Okay, I understand!"
Ji Jiuying nodded, lowered her eyes, and thought, "One day I will stand before them openly and honestly!"
"Little Nine, has anyone taught you how to refine weapons before?" Feng Che asked.
"No, I followed the book exactly."
"Now use your original forging furnace to forge a weapon for me to see!" Feng Che was a weapon refiner, so he was naturally very clear about the grade of forging furnaces. With just one glance, he could tell that Xiao Jiu's forging furnace was extraordinary.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying took out the Nine Nether Cauldron and patted it, "Little Youyou, come and get to work!"
Xiao Youyou responded to Ji Jiuying with a soft buzzing sound, and Feng Che raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.
Ji Jiuying began selecting materials. Feng Che watched her serious expression and observed her every move. Then, he used the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to smelt, forge, and refine the materials!
Ji Jiuying took out a piece of amethyst and melted it into the weapon. After the amethyst was completely integrated into the weapon, a hazy mysterious light surrounded the weapon. Next was the spirit transfer.
Ji Jiuying controlled the weapon with her mental power, and then slowly imbued it with a layer of cold light using her spiritual power. When the entire weapon was surrounded by the cold light, Ji Jiuying quickly withdrew all her spiritual power.
This process is very important. The concentration of spiritual energy must be controlled well. If it is not controlled, the weapon may break because it cannot withstand the excessive concentration of spiritual energy, or it may break because the spiritual energy is not evenly distributed!
At this moment, a weapon flew out of the Nine Nether Cauldron and landed in Ji Jiuying's hand. It was a sword with a blade as clear and translucent as jade, gleaming with a cold light. The hilt was engraved with intricate runes, seemingly ordinary, yet containing endless mysteries.
What's even more surprising is that the blade can be retracted into the hilt, catching the enemy off guard!
Feng Che examined the sword with delight. It was a high-grade spiritual weapon—no, far superior to ordinary high-grade spiritual weapons! She couldn't help but admire her niece; what a treasure she was! A true genius at weapon crafting! Feng Che resolved to properly teach Ji Jiuying weapon crafting in the future!
"Second Uncle, how is it? The magical artifact I crafted is pretty good, isn't it?"
"Second Uncle?"
"Ah! Good! Excellent! She truly lives up to her reputation as my niece, Feng Che!" Feng Che said happily. Lan'er is so outstanding, how could her daughter be any less so!
In the days that followed, Ji Jiuying attended classes during the day and received individual guidance on weapon crafting from Feng Che in the evenings!
Half a month passed quickly, and today is Ji Jiuying's last day in the intermediate weapon refining class! Tomorrow she will attend an advanced class!
With Ji Jiuying's current skill level, she is fully capable of attempting to forge a low-grade Saint-level weapon. Ji Jiuying plans to try it tonight. As usual, she walks towards Feng Che's courtyard after class!
"stop!"
An unfriendly voice rang out from ahead.
"What is it?" Ji Jiuying looked at the girls in front of her with a calm expression.
The girls were all students in the advanced class of the Weapon Refining Sect. The one in the lead was named Liu Susu, who was Liu Piaopiao's half-sister and also an advanced weapon refiner.
Relying on his status as a high-level weapon refiner and having a sister who is a Heaven-level alchemist, he is always surrounded by a large group of followers wherever he goes, and he is extremely arrogant in the academy!
"Senior Sister, you're not going to Teacher Feng's courtyard again, are you? People these days... they'll use all sorts of underhanded methods to improve their weapon refiner levels!"
"Liu Susu said sarcastically."
"that is!"
"Look at her seductive appearance, I wonder how many people she must have seduced to get into this academy..."
With a crisp snap, the woman who had been speaking was thrown against the wall by a powerful gust of wind, coughing up a mouthful of blood and fainting!
Liu Susu was stunned. She never expected Ji Jiuying to suddenly attack, and so quickly at that. If Feng Yu hadn't been lying on the ground, she would have thought the gust of wind was just an illusion! But this suited her perfectly! "Ji Jiuying! You! You actually beat up a student without permission!"
At Star Academy, it is forbidden to beat up fellow students without permission. If you want to challenge her, you must sign an agreement with her in the arena. However, if you beat her without permission, you will be punished by the academy and the person who did it will be expelled from the academy!
"What happened?"
Two figures appeared in their line of sight. It turned out that Feng Che had come to check on Xiao Jiu since she hadn't arrived yet. He happened to run into the Grand Elder on the way, so they came together!
Liu Susu's eyes lit up at the sight, "This is truly a stroke of luck!" She quickly went to the Grand Elder and Feng Che and cried, "Grand Elder, Teacher Feng, you've finally arrived! If you had come any later, my sisters and I would have been beaten to death by Senior Sister. Look, Feng Yu has been beaten unconscious on the ground!"
After saying that, she pointed to the wind and rain on the ground and cried even more sadly. The other two people also started to cry with Liu Susu. It was as if Ji Jiuying had done something to them!
Feng Che and the First Elder exchanged a glance, clearly neither of them believed that Ji Jiuying would be such an unreasonable person! "Liu Susu, tell me what happened first!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Susu wiped away imaginary tears. "Elder, Teacher Feng, my sisters and I heard that Senior Sister will be joining our advanced class tomorrow, so we wanted to come and congratulate her in advance. We didn't expect her to be so ungrateful, and even slander us, saying that my sisters and I were just trying to curry favor with her. She also said that everyone in our Weapon Refining Sect is a bunch of rabble, not even as good as a freshman like her..."
The elder frowned slightly. This Ji Jiuying was nothing like what Liu Susu had described. "Ji Jiuying, tell me what happened?"
"yes!"
"As usual, I went to ask Teacher Feng for guidance on weapon crafting. These people stopped me and made accusations, both openly and indirectly, that I had used underhanded methods against Teacher Feng. They even insulted me, saying that I was able to get into the academy because I had seduced countless people! I could tolerate their insults, but they dared to insult even the teacher, so I couldn't stand it and hit her. Who knew she was so weak and frail that she fainted!"
Ji Jiuying shrugged and said helplessly! Although she had agreed to enter the Star Academy with Old Man Yu, everyone knew that Ji Jiuying got the spot in the academy because she won first place in the genius competition in Cangyue Kingdom!
