Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Let's take the cutting board to be tempered first. It's quite time-consuming. Let's send it to Pavilion Master Fan first."

Chu Wuji muttered to himself and reached out to pat the heavy and simple big thing.

"This chopping board has scraped the dragon scales of Xuanyin Xingjun and is stained with blood. It should be able to be tempered..."

"Oh, and I have to tell Pavilion Master Fan that her daughter ate dragon meat in Xiaoyao Valley and refused to share it with her mother!"

Chapter 264: King of Ideas?

It was a great pity that the demon blood of the Tianlong monk could not be tempered into a handy weapon. In the end, it became a kitchen knife.

We can no longer be careless with the few weapons we have saved. Where can we find such a good multi-functional chopping board kitchen counter in the future?

Chu Wuji used his internal energy to fix the giant blade at his lower back and asked his superior Que to help lead the way.

The guard lady even looked at him curiously to see how he wore it. Would it really not cause his lumbar spine to collapse?

After confirming that it was the pull of the罡气, Si Que also tried to pull the giant blade, but it didn't move at all, let alone shake it.

"It seems that the strength of the extended Gangqi is closely related to the strength of the foundation. The gap is quite large..."

With a sigh, Si Que was about to arrange a carriage when he remembered how heavy this thing was:

"Master Chu, if you bring this giant blade into the palace, the carriage will be a bit inconvenient. Can you take me with you by flying?"

Si Que served as a face-scanner to get past the gatekeepers. Chu Wuji rarely appeared in the palace, and entering the palace's important areas with weapons was a sensitive act. He would be questioned even with the token, so he had to have Si Que as a guide.

"I can't fly..." Chu Wuzhi said honestly.

If he used the flying sword Mo Zhi, it would be too conspicuous, and he couldn't use the spell to conceal it.

The female guard blinked in surprise and was very skeptical of what Chu Wuzhi said. The foundry department had said that every weapon Chu Wuzhi sent for quenching was a rare monster.

The most inferior dragon was also very fat, and it was rare to see a dragon that could be drained by wine, sex, money and anger!

And Chu Wuji kills demons very frequently, so in the end he can't even fly...

She proposed a hypothesis: "Mr. Chu, can you use the inner energy to lift yourself up and fly? It would be like stepping on your left foot with your right foot, ascending to the sky step by step."

"Yes, but it would cause chaos in the streets, and using this ability during combat would easily distract me."

Si Que expressed his understanding, but was also puzzled: "I heard Pavilion Master Fan say that if the spell is to be hidden from ordinary mortals, it is the most common."

"I won't do this either."

"...Mr. Chu, how did you kill the demon?" Si Que was really puzzled and curious. When he was dealing with the demon disaster in Yunhe Town before, he seemed to have no extra magical abilities.

So what skills did he learn while practicing in the holy land of immortals that made him become so vigorous and powerful?

"Just chop it hard and smash its body into pieces, and the demon will die naturally."

"..."

Si Que didn't ask any further questions, he couldn't understand!

She thought the level of immortal cultivators was difficult to understand, but she didn't expect that warriors like Chu Wuzhi were even more difficult to figure out.

The two of them walked quickly into the Queen's room. After several rounds of notifications, Pavilion Master Fan came out to receive them.

This energetic middle-aged woman is full of energy and vitality, which is the result of her early martial arts training. However, it seems that she was injured during her military service, which slightly affected her vitality. However, these injuries offset each other and there are no sequelae.

It's like the old saying goes: your anus is a bit loose, but your abscessed hemorrhoids make up for it.

When Pavilion Master Fan saw Chu Wuji carrying the giant blade, she knew that he was entrusting her with the task of tempering it again. She curled her lips and sighed:

"I've been on a long journey and killed a rare demon. Every time I see something magical being quenched in the furnace, I have to return the weapon to you. Alas!"

Chu Wuji said happily:

"Anyway, this set of weapons is just discarded stuff you guys don't want anymore. Why would you be so reluctant to part with it? I just realized there's a kitchen knife in there too. That's too much!"

Pavilion Master Fan laughed heartily, and light wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, but she did not look old. Her pupils were full of spirit, and then she said:

"Doesn't this justify the name Young Master Chu gave this thing? It's already called a chopping board, so a kitchen knife would be more appropriate... Hmm? This kitchen knife has been tempered, so why is it still a loach-like dragon?!"

Chu Wuji cleared his throat, with an expression as if he was sharing his experience. He waved his hand mysteriously, motioning Pavilion Master Fan and Si Que to come over, as if he was going to tell them some big secret.

Pavilion Master Fan and Si Que suddenly frowned, it seemed like a big situation!

"I'm fishing in the Dragon's Mouth in the Southern Sky Country, and I'm catching a dragon!"

"......Who asked you?" The expressions of Pavilion Master Fan and Si Que disappeared in unison.

Chu Wuji knew that a few words were not enough to explain it. Just as the general's kindness was not yet over, he picked out some key points to say:

"At the time, we needed it urgently during the battle, so I took this kitchen knife to the stove in Xiaoyao Valley to quench it and use it as a makeshift."

"Stove quenching?" Pavilion Master Fan was a little confused.

After calcination, did you take a spoonful of rice washing water or pot washing water from the side and pour it directly on?

In the underground foundry in the palace, the water used for quenching comes from the underground river that has been soaked in black ice.

But the kitchen knife had already been dealt with, so there was no point in arguing about it. Pavilion Master Fan could only put it back into the slot on the chopping board with regret.

Chu Wuji continued to mention his needs:

"I've used this giant chopping block blade to scrape dragon scales, and it's stained with dragon blood, but the female dragon isn't dead yet. Can you help me deal with it?"

"If that demon isn't dead, that's not going to work. If we meet again in the future, it could easily be manipulated by him. And for minor scrapes, the weapon is useless unless it touches the demon's lifeblood.

If all blood were used, this forging method would have spread among the demons long ago, with mass production and exchange everywhere."

Chu Wuji nodded and said in surprise, "So there is such a thing."

That's right. If the conditions were that easy, the Heavenly Fox Goddess and the two snake demon elders would be of great help. The blood stains left on the handkerchief from their first night could be used directly to add a bit of magical power to the weapon...

Si Que said curiously, "It's rare to hear of a demon escaping from Master Chu's clutches. Last time, even the ancient beast was on the chopping block."

"It can't be considered an escape. The female dragon is now in the Jing'an Palace. She's the dragon girl who came back with me earlier, the one with a pointed head."

Si Que and Pavilion Master Fan: "?"

They were about to panic, wondering how Chu Wuji could have led the enemy demon into his home, but then they thought, if they really wanted to make trouble, they would have already stirred up trouble yesterday.

Calm down!

Chu Wuji finally brought up the key point: "Pavilion Master Fan, I'm afraid you don't know, but a while ago, Miss Yang He was eating dragon meat in Xiaoyao Valley and was eating it with great enthusiasm!"

"That little bitch, why didn't you send me a copy?" Pavilion Master Fan was angry.

Chu Wuji had come to understand nothing more. Before waving goodbye, he invited:

"I've left a few portions of dragon meat at the Jing'an Palace. Pavilion Master Fan and Si Que, please go over there tonight and have a meal. When you come back, send some to the Holy Empress."

Pavilion Master Fan was not polite to him. Si Que wanted to be polite, but she thought that she would probably not have the chance to taste such rare ingredients in the future, so she did not refuse and bowed to express her gratitude.

Chu Wuji took the large anvil and returned to Prince Jing'an's Mansion along the same route, and continued to study the "Martial Classics" in the front courtyard.

As a compilation of many martial arts techniques, the essence is definitely not limited to "Blood Sword Sutra", and the rest of the content can also be studied and comprehended.

He randomly opened a page:

"The 'Great Que Infinite Sword', paired with the 'Blood Quenching into the Blade' internal skill, sounds like something used by the Foundry..."

Chu Wuji looked at the introduction carefully and found out that this was actually the martial arts technique of the Sword Casting Villa!

Zhujian Villa, this name sounds familiar. Isn’t it the martial arts sect that hosted one of the arenas in the Three Swords Competition last year?

It seems that our ancestors were truly glorious, but were tragically killed by the ruthless iron hands of the Holy Queen of Fire.

"This sword technique is suitable for giant blades. I've been thinking about it recently!"

After finalizing his goal, Chu Wuji would not look at anything else, as he would easily become distracted and hesitant, and doubt his current choice.

Sometimes chemistry is very important. I just came across this martial arts technique while flipping through the pages, and I became interested and took a few more glances at it. This shows that we are destined to meet!

Chu Wuji carefully contemplated the "Quenching Blood into the Blade" chapter. Its function was to help the blacksmith mobilize his blood and energy to swing the hammer. It also mentioned many essential aspects of forging methods.

As he watched, an idea popped into his mind:

"By the way, if I spray the Qi and blood stored in the Yuanshen Cave onto the giant anvil blade and then send it through for tempering, will this in disguise mobilize the power of the Yuanshen?"

If the owner of the demon blood does not die, it will be easy for him to control his weapon.

Chu Wuji simply turned the situation around and used the blood and energy that had been tempered into the weapon to try to control the dormant soul and let the innate soul get up and work earlier. Wouldn't that be better?

Only by moving more can you truly exercise your spirit!

Since they are all part of his body, don't even think about sleeping idle.

The Qi and blood in the Yuanshen Cave have always been stored near the Yuanshen, and they will get some nourishment. I wonder if it can be considered as the essence of life.

It seems worth a try.

Chu Wuji was not in a hurry to return to the palace. He decided to finish studying the martial arts first.

*

A few days later, Yun Qingying came to see him.

As soon as she saw Chu Wuzhi, Yun Qingying remembered the subtle feeling of being attacked from behind, and immediately gave him a bad look.

Chu Wuji had long been accustomed to this sour-faced girl, but this time, he felt quite resentful the moment they met...

He knew what was going on, so he didn't dare to joke around. He said:

"Are you preparing to go to the Lihuo Mountains?"

"Yeah." The girl replied indifferently. When she looked at him with her beautiful eyes as clear as water, her gaze was fierce and angry, but she didn't show any anger. She also felt a little aggrieved.

"Then I'll go get ready. Why are you alone? Didn't you say you wanted to bring Madam Jiang out for a walk?"

"She's waiting in the Lihuo Mountains."

"Ah? You left her alone in the mountains?" Chu Wuzhi was stunned and surprised.

The Lihuo Mountains are indeed safe now, but it’s not good to leave a young woman from a noble family who can’t even kill a chicken there, right?

Yun Qingying shook her head and said, "Master is by my side, there will be no accidents, Junior Brother, don't worry."

After the pretty and graceful girl finished speaking, she watched Chu Wuji's reaction to see if he would go against her and remind her that this was Shanxia and the name was wrong.

Chu Wuji naturally remembered the previous agreement and did not mention it again so as not to make her angry.

Moreover, he was more concerned about Ning Xianzhi. Why did she come here too?

Well, take more people out and create a lively atmosphere. The mothers will most likely take everyone's interests into consideration and won't get angry easily.

Chapter 265: Mountain Ghost Market

After completing all the preparations, Chu Wuzhi set off with his female relatives.

The team was quite large, with even the princess and Yao'er coming along. With the presence of the female captain Yun Qingying, it was very convenient to travel back and forth. Plus, going deep into the Lihuo Mountains was no longer considered a long journey, so there were fewer concerns about bringing them along.

It’s a pity for Queen Wen. She had to go back to the palace as usual today and missed the opportunity to go out.

After that, Yao'er, the little magpie, could only share the experience of the spring outing in the mountains with Aunt Queen.

"Brother, why are these clouds so loose and tight? I thought they would fall off." The little princess excitedly shook Chu Wuzhi's hand.

As one of the few nobles of Lihuo Country who had seen fairies, it was Wen Yaoer's first time riding on a cloud. Her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and a smile was always on her face, and her dimples never disappeared.

Princess Jing'an was a little scared. It was her first time flying so high, and she felt an inexplicable sense of terror. Her daughter had just asked, "Will I fall from the clouds?", and the beautiful princess had an association with it.

She was slightly frightened and held the corner of Chu Wuzhi's clothes with her bare hands.

Yun Qingying glanced at the little princess, her heart heavy. "What a scheming little girl! Seeing me calling this guy Junior Brother, she kept calling him Brother!"

However, Yun Qingying was just alert, but did not really have a conflict or quarrel with Wen Yaoer. That would be too childish and immature.

It only takes a blink of an eye to get from the capital to the Lihuo Mountains.

Yun Qingying landed next to the mountain god monument, where her mother and master were waiting.

Ning Xianzhi stood quietly beside the stone tablet, wearing a white dress as white as snow, her solemn demeanor exuding awe-inspiring beauty.

She saw so many people on the clouds, the pair of snake demon sisters huddled in Chu Wuji's sleeves, the ancient celestial fox hidden in the princess's delicate body, and Wen Yao'er holding the litter of little foxes...

The female fairy was in a very complicated mood.
