Junior sister, I really need to control you

Li Yinsheng nodded: "I understand this matter, Uncle-Master, there is no need to worry. I will naturally wait until I am completely certain before dealing with this matter."

Upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on Jiang Ningzhi's face: "It's good that you have a plan. Anyway, with your talent, becoming a human immortal is a sure thing."

"If you can cultivate to an extremely high level among the immortals, then this matter is indeed achievable."

She paused, then suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on that ill-fated couple?"

"Opinion? What does Uncle mean?" Li Yinsheng asked, somewhat puzzled. "Although Meng You'er probably can't be considered a good person, I think there is indeed genuine affection between the two of them."

Of course, he was even more curious about how Wei Xingchong managed to resist this lover who was utterly depraved.

For an ordinary person, just one of "anger," "ignorance," or "doubt" would be enough to cause them a lot of trouble.

Anger leads to irritability, and one is likely to argue over trivial matters every few days.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder can lead to getting stuck on trivial matters and, more often than not, refusing to admit one's mistakes.

Needless to say, if Wei Xingchong were to say just one word to another female cultivator, Meng You'er would probably start to suspect that he has changed his mind.

Li Yinsheng tried to imagine himself in that situation, what if he had a similar Daoist partner...

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he instinctively shivered and felt a terrible headache.

Just as he was lost in thought, Jiang Ningzhi spoke up: "It's about... Daoist partners."

“Look at those two. Although they come from opposite backgrounds and are star-crossed lovers, their feelings for each other are ultimately genuine.”

Her tone changed slightly, and her voice softened a bit: "Having witnessed such genuine affection, have you ever considered finding a Daoist partner?"

Li Yinsheng didn't know why his martial uncle suddenly thought of this.

But just moments ago he was pondering how Wei Xingchong and Meng You'er would usually get along, and he immediately shook his head at his uncle's question.

"Looking for a Daoist partner? I haven't really thought about that much," he shook his head repeatedly. "Besides, it's not easy to find a Daoist partner who is mutually attracted and whose temperament is compatible."

Hearing that her junior disciple had no intention of finding a partner, Jiang Ningzhi pursed her lips, unsure whether she should be happy or not.

After hesitating for a moment, she pressed for an answer.

"If you were to seek a Daoist partner, what kind of person would you prefer?"

"Why are you suddenly curious about this, Uncle-Master?" Li Yinsheng asked.

"Just asking," Jiang Ningzhi said, her gaze shifting. "Besides, although we have the same cultivation level, I am still your elder in name only. You call me 'Uncle-Master,' so what's wrong with me asking about your important life event?"

"Um……"

Li Yinsheng stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Aside from the basic requirements that talent and cultivation level must be good, and lifespan must be roughly the same..."

"A beautiful and graceful woman is the object of a gentleman's affections. I still prefer female cultivators who are pretty, and their figures can't be bad either," Li Yinsheng said frankly.

Jiang Ningzhi glanced at herself in the bronze mirror, then looked down at herself, nodded slightly, and spoke in a light tone.

"Hmm, that makes sense. How could someone who isn't pretty be worthy of you? Go on, is there anything else?"

Li Yinsheng said, "Well... as for personality, at the very least, one shouldn't be irritable and easily angered, or get easily frustrated over trivial matters."

Jiang Ningzhi's eyes flickered as she recalled herself before the incident.

Back then, I was young and impetuous, full of youthful vigor, and it seems I did have a bit of a temper...

She shook her head.

It's all in the past, all in the past. Over the years, she has cultivated her character and is no longer the same as before.

As for Ling'er, even after all these years, she's still as fiery and easily angered as ever. When she accompanied Yinsheng to Cangfeng Temple before, she even got into a fight with someone over a mere disagreement.

It seems she doesn't quite fit the bill.

"Anything else? Continue," said Uncle Jiang.

"If there's anything else, it's best to be more open-minded and less stubborn," Li Yinsheng said.

Ling'er traps herself inside a glass lamp whenever she's unhappy; it's practically the opposite of what she wants.

Jiang Ningzhi nodded gently: "Anything else?"

"Furthermore, you have to trust me. It's too boring to always be suspicious of your partner," Li Yinsheng said.

Ling'er is undoubtedly excellent in this regard.

But when it comes to trust, who in the world can compare to my trust in Yinsheng?

Jiang Ningzhi chuckled, seemingly in a good mood: "Yinsheng, your requirements seem a bit high."

"Is it high?" Li Yinsheng didn't care and casually said, "Anyway, I don't have any plans to find a Daoist partner right now, so it doesn't matter whether it's high or not."

Jiang Ningzhi nodded, but didn't say a word, just looked at him with a smile.

“By the way, Uncle-Master, let’s not talk about these trivial matters for now,” Li Yinsheng said with a smile. “How about I give you the ‘Sword Scripture of Nothingness’ that I obtained from the Golden Sword Sect?”

"Uncle, you should study it first and learn it. When you recover your cultivation level in the future, you can switch to this cultivation as soon as possible. This cultivation method is definitely no less than the immortal lineage of the Six Liberations of Withering and Flourishing, and it is very suitable for you."

As he spoke, Li Yinsheng took out the book and handed it to Jiang Ningzhi.

She took the book, flipped through it for a moment, then suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

“Yinsheng, you’re wrong,” she stared at Li Yinsheng, her eyes shining brightly. “This Wuhe Sword Scripture may just be an extremely powerful immortal lineage to ordinary sword cultivators.”

"But for me, it's much more than that."

She took a light breath: "The sentiment expressed here is remarkably similar to my state of mind when I lost all my cultivation over the years."

"I don't even need to wait for my body to recover; I can study some of it right now."

"Once I've fully recovered, this sword manual will be in my hands..."

She paused here, and a hint of arrogance appeared in her eyes, one that Li Yinsheng had never seen before.

"It is definitely far superior to other immortal lineages!"

……

Two days later, in the courtyard of Master Yanyu at the Casting Furnace Temple.

Looking at the three pieces of material that Li Yinsheng had laid out, Yan Yu Zhenren's face showed a mixture of surprise and regret.

"The dragon's spine, tendons, eyes, and these scales..."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Li has encountered an extremely rare and powerful dragon demon. These materials, as auxiliary materials for refining magical artifacts, are all extremely precious..."

"These materials, when combined with a good spiritual object, can be refined into a magic weapon that would be quite good even for a Grand Master."

"To be honest, if we follow Fellow Daoist Li's wishes and only refine it into a quasi-magic weapon, it would be a waste of its potential."

Master Yan Yu advised.

As a weapon refiner, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken to see so many precious materials being wasted on being refined into quasi-magical artifacts.

Li Yinsheng said, "I do have a dragon pearl that can be used as the main material for refining magic weapons, but..."

He raised his hand and summoned the Azure Sword.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Yu, if we use this sword as a reference, how much power would a magic weapon we forge have?"

Looking at the Azure Sword, Yan Yu was filled with amazement.

"This sword...this sword is truly the most powerful of all the magical treasures I have ever seen! I'm afraid even in the eyes of the Imperial Edict Master, it should be a rather precious magical treasure."

She was very curious about how Li Yinsheng had obtained such a powerful magic weapon, but she knew she shouldn't ask, so she could only swallow her curiosity.

"Compared to this sword, even if this dragon pearl is refined into a magic weapon, its power will only be at most 30% of its power. If things don't go smoothly, it may only be a little over 20%."

She paused, then smiled wryly, "But even so, I am not confident in my ability to refine it."

She herself was only a beginner Grand Master, and the auxiliary materials from those dragons were already extremely difficult to refine.

Unfortunately, this dragon pearl was also a superior spiritual object, making its refinement even more difficult, almost beyond her capabilities.

Hearing what Master Yanyu said, Li Yinsheng shook his head and put away the dragon pearl.

"If the magic weapon we make is only of this level, then we might as well make a few quasi-magic weapons from these materials for my junior sister to use during her Dao examination."

Yan Yu Zhenren wasn't sure if Li Yinsheng genuinely looked down on the magic weapon made from the dragon pearl, or if he was simply giving himself a way out.

However, since he insisted on it, Master Yan Yu could no longer persuade him.

Moreover, even if Li Yinsheng really changed his mind, she didn't have the ability to refine it, so she could only suggest that he go to the magic lineage to find a better weapon refiner.

“However, Fellow Daoist Li is spoiling Mu too much,” she sighed. “Any one of these materials would be enough to refine a quasi-magic weapon of excellent quality.”

"For an average outstanding junior to have a quasi-magical treasure as a protective trump card is already a sign of being extremely pampered by their elders and is very rare."

"With so many quasi-magical treasures, even the disciples of the lineage elders probably wouldn't have such a privilege."

Li Yinsheng simply smiled and then asked, "Fellow Daoist Yan Yu, how long will it take to refine these materials into a quasi-magic weapon?"

“One month is enough,” Master Yan Yu said confidently.

If these materials weren't taken from a dragon, and if she hadn't planned to refine them carefully, half a month would have been enough.

In fact, if an outsider were to refine such a quasi-magical weapon, it wouldn't be worth the trouble of a Grand Master Refiner like her; her three junior brothers would be more than capable.

Since it was Li Yinsheng who came, she naturally had to take action herself.

She paused for a moment, then added, "However, Fellow Daoist Li, if these four materials are used to refine four quasi-magic treasures separately, their value will be diluted."

"In my opinion, it would be better to refine the dragon tendons and scales into one quasi-magic weapon each, and then combine the dragon bones and dragon eyes into one weapon, which would be even more powerful."

Li Yinsheng nodded: "Very well, then we will do as Fellow Daoist Yan Yu wishes."

"However, this third one will probably be even more difficult to use, requiring significantly more magical power than the two quasi-magic treasures..."

Master Yan Yu reminded him.

“It’s alright. This thing is meant to be used as a trump card; there’s no need to be able to use it skillfully,” Li Yinsheng said, shaking his head.

Does it require more magical power?

That's perfect. I'll let my junior sister practice the Dragon Tiger Devouring Elixir technique again during this time.

He refused to believe that once his junior sister had completely refined the blood egg and gained over seventy years of cultivation, she would be able to control a quasi-magic weapon when she used the Dragon-Tiger Devouring Technique.
