Junior sister, I really need to control you

Then, somewhat uneasy, she asked, "So, will Senior Brother really let me practice the Dividing Light Sword for half an hour less?"

“Of course, I’m actually still considering it. Reducing it by half an hour might not be enough. Maybe I should reduce it by a whole hour,” Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

“Senior brother! I will practice with the White Rainbow Sword from now on!” Mu Xiaoyu said without hesitation.

With a resolute expression, she gripped the White Rainbow Sword tightly, enduring the stinging pain in her body each time she used the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, and began to perform the sword technique again and again.

Seeing this, Li Yinsheng nodded in satisfaction.

He wasn't lying to Mu Xiaoyu; he genuinely intended to reduce Mu Xiaoyu's sword practice time.

Because he had another very important matter to attend to, which was to be included in his junior sister's daily schedule.

But his schedule is already full, so he has to reduce the time he spends practicing martial arts or swordsmanship to make time for this.

Cultivation is the foundation, and the time spent practicing cannot be reduced.

As for sword practice, with the assistance of the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, my junior sister's progress has greatly increased, and it's not a big problem to cut back half an hour.

Just as Li Yinsheng was pondering, Mu Xiaoyu, who was practicing the Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword, suddenly let out a soft shout.

As she thrust her sword forward, the single sword light instantly split into two and shot out.

Moreover, each of these strikes was several times better than the previous single sword light.

Li Yinsheng's eyes lit up.

Although it's just a matter of increasing from one sword light to two sword lights, it's indeed very easy, and my junior sister had already practiced for two days before.

The fact that one could master two sword lights so quickly demonstrates just how beneficial the White Rainbow Sword can be.

Of course, this is still incomparable to a true master like Li Yinsheng. In the past two days, he only took some time to practice the Two Elements Dividing Light Sword, and now he can divide it into ten sword lights.

The White Rainbow Sword was even more effective than Li Yinsheng had anticipated.

Not only did he help his junior sister master the second sword light shortly after acquiring it, but they also practiced until late at night, and even the third sword light was beginning to take shape.

He estimated that if he practiced diligently enough tomorrow, he should be able to complete the third sword light.

However, he needs to take his junior sister to Baoguang Temple first tomorrow.

Besides wanting to replenish her snack collection, it was also for the sake of adding it to her schedule.

……

The next day, in the morning.

The enlarged nine-foot-long Hanming Sword fell in front of Baoguang Temple.

Wearing a bamboo hat, Li Yinsheng pulled Mu Xiaoyu off the sword and put it back into his Qiankun bag.

"Let's go, let's wander around and see if there's anything you're interested in eating," Li Yinsheng said.

"Hmm!" Mu Xiaoyu touched the Qiankun bag at her waist, her face full of excitement.

This time she's going to fill the entire Qiankun Bag!

Mu Xiaoyu rushed into Baoguang Temple first, and Li Yinsheng adjusted his straw hat and followed behind her.

After a while, Mu Xiaoyu, who was browsing, eating and buying at the roadside stalls, turned a corner and saw a shop surrounded by a group of cultivators.

The monks, just like ordinary people, crowded together at the shop entrance, creating a noisy scene.

"What are they buying inside? Business is booming, there are so many people queuing up."

Mu Xiaoyu held a string of candied hawthorns in her left hand and a bamboo tube of "Ganlu Niang" in her right hand, tilting her head as she looked at the surrounded shops.

But she soon realized something was wrong.

The monks surrounding the shop didn't seem to be queuing; they seemed to be...

curse?

Li Yinsheng followed her from behind, patted her on the shoulder, and laughed, "What, didn't you recognize that shop? That's the Casting Furnace Shop where we bought the Quenching Yuan Lock for you last time."

Mu Xiaoyu looked up at the somewhat familiar plaque, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.

Oh, so it really is this shop.

No wonder so many people were surrounding and cursing him.

Well said! He deserved it!

With the weight of over 300 jin of the Tempering Yuan Lock hanging on her body, Mu Xiaoyu took a big bite of the candied hawthorn and a relieved smile appeared on her lips.

Li Yinsheng patted her head: "Interesting. Come on, let's go see what's going on."

Those people definitely didn't come to block the door because they bought the Quenching Yuan Lock.

He was genuinely curious about what had happened.

Chapter 41 The Overbearing Shouyi Temple

Inside Baoguang Temple.

In front of the casting furnace shop.

Li Yinsheng pulled Mu Xiaoyu along and mingled into the crowd blocking the door and shouting insults.

After listening in the crowd for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.

Although the shops at the Casting Furnace Temple displayed many ritual implements that could be purchased directly, most of them were low-grade and unorthodox.

While some mid-grade magical artifacts are available for sale, there aren't many.

Firstly, there aren't many cultivators who can afford mid-grade magic artifacts.

Secondly, many mid-grade magic artifacts can be customized to a certain extent.

After all, a good magical artifact often accompanies a cultivator for many years, or even for a lifetime.

If one casually buys a magical artifact that doesn't quite suit their personality, they will feel uncomfortable for a long time. Therefore, when cultivators buy magical artifacts, they naturally strive for perfection.

Compared to buying a ready-made product, custom-made items are definitely more suitable for you.

Although it will inevitably be more expensive and you will have to wait for a while, it is still better than buying an unsuitable ritual object.

The reason these people were blocking the entrance of the casting furnace shop and cursing was because they had been stood up in the matter of forging magical artifacts.

Most of them had ordered mid-grade magic artifacts from the Zhulu Temple's shop a long time ago.

But I haven't received the goods yet.

Most of them had come many times before, and each time they were brushed off, which naturally made them very angry.

In particular, not all cultivators who commissioned mid-grade magic artifacts were unable to obtain them.

If no one gets it, then we can feel a little more at peace with ourselves.

According to these people, many cultivators placed orders at the Forging Furnace Temple and returned with their magical artifacts within half a month to three months without any problems.

It is precisely these people who have been dragged on for a year and a half, or even two or three years.

Cultivators who can customize mid-grade magic artifacts are generally quite powerful. In Li Yinsheng's perception, most of these people have about thirty or even forty years of cultivation.

No wonder the people in the shop didn't dare to talk back when they were being cursed at by someone blocking the door; they just kept the door tightly shut and ignored it.

The monks outside who were shouting and cursing were already being quite restrained. If they were really angered, the shop of the Forging Furnace Temple would be torn to pieces in the blink of an eye.

However, Li Yinsheng was indeed very curious as to why some people could obtain magical artifacts while others could not.

Is this something that can be treated differently?

However, compared to this matter, what Li Yinsheng cared about more was that he wanted to buy things.

Inside the Casting Furnace Temple, there was a ritual implement that he wanted to buy for his junior sister, also for the sake of that matter he had considered yesterday—to add it to her schedule.

Judging from the current state, I don't know if the Casting Furnace Temple will even be open today.

Or... should we check out other shops that sell magical artifacts?

Just as he was pondering this, the wooden door was opened from the inside.

The female shopkeeper who had served him before and even given him a discount came out looking embarrassed and bowed to the indignant cultivators.

Seeing that someone was coming to deal with the situation, the monks cursed even louder.

However, this female shopkeeper was quite capable. She withstood the cultivators' accusations and persuaded and comforted them one by one, promising to deliver all the owed magical artifacts to them by the end of the year.

He also made some promises of future benefits to several cultivators whose wages had been overdue for too long before finally managing to get them to disperse.

Considering the female shopkeeper had given him a discount before, and since he still needed to buy things later, Li Yinsheng did her a small favor—

Among the troublemaking cultivators was one who was over forty years old and had a relatively high level of cultivation. At first, he was just speaking aggressively, but considering his past experiences, it was understandable.

However, as the man noticed the female shopkeeper was quite attractive, his tone gradually shifted, becoming increasingly suggestive.

Later on, they even started using fancy words.

The female manager, however, had to endure it because she needed to appease everyone.

Li Yinsheng then gave the man a slight warning, reminding him that it was fine to seek justice, but it was not good to use the pretext of seeking justice to speak rudely.

Fortunately, the man was sensible. After Li Yinsheng revealed some of his aura and gave him a warning, he became much more obedient.

When the female shopkeeper saw Li Yinsheng, who was wearing a straw hat and had come to her rescue, her tired eyes brightened noticeably.

Although Li Yinsheng had changed his robes and was no longer wearing them as before, his bamboo hat remained the same, and he was accompanied by his junior sister Mu.

With such obvious features, she certainly wouldn't fail to recognize him.

Once the crowd had dispersed, the female shopkeeper immediately bowed deeply to Li Yinsheng: "Thank you for your help, senior."

"It was nothing," Li Yinsheng said with a smile. "I was just about to buy some magical artifacts when this happened."

"Please excuse my poor performance, senior," the female shopkeeper said with a wry smile, leading Li Yinsheng into the shop. "Please come inside and let's talk."

Li Yinsheng led Mu Xiaoyu inside and they sat down in the inner hall.

The female shopkeeper ordered someone to bring over a pot of fragrant tea and several plates of pastries.

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes were immediately drawn to the several plates of exquisite pastries, and she kept stuffing them into her mouth one after another.

"What would you like to buy, senior?" the female shopkeeper asked seriously.

She knew very well that, despite the great commotion outside, the most powerful among those people was probably not as skilled as the young man in the straw hat in front of her.
