Chapter 58: Pure Heart Sword, the Little Sister's New Weapon

The latter half of the night was much quieter.

Without this troublemaker little sister, a little intimidation made her dare not speak nonsense or act recklessly anymore.

Chen Chuyang deliberately did this; if the tsundere little sister isn't intimidated a bit, not Protector a bit, she really will get carried away.

Repeating simple actions, the spirit medicine is refined, then melted into the Item, poured into the pot; a large pot needs a lot of Item to match. Chen Churan and Shang Hongxue have different absorption rates; Chen Churan absorbs faster, these Items she accepts all comers, absorbing as much as comes, whereas Shang Hongxue is not as strong.

This works out fine, since Shang Hongxue can't absorb it all, let Chen Churan consume the leftovers—even if it's waste utilization.

Dawn broke.

Longshe Shan's Formation remained unchanged, mist enveloping the land as sunlight showered the earth; Chen Chuyang was also tired, watching the two people snoring loudly in the pot, the little sister finally couldn't hold on, collapsed and fell asleep, relying on each other, the two women leaned on each other, snoring, there was no image left.

"You're sleeping like a dead person."

Chen Chuyang extinguished the flame, letting the remaining heat burn the Item in the pot, estimating they'd need two or three hours to wake up; Chen Chuyang stood, stretched his bones, moved around, felt a bit refreshed, then grew hungry—having not rested, he took out a spirit fruit and gnawed on it, eating two spirit fruits in a row still wasn't enough.

He caught a fish, removed its scales and gutted it, the motion practiced in a batch; earth fire burned, temperature controlled well—not too hot, not too low; this step requires long training to manipulate with fine precision.

The fish was grilled, Chen Churan began eating it; the taste was good, but unfortunately something was missing.

Having meat but no staple food just won't do.

"The land down the mountain can be turned into Spirit Field, planting some spirit rice, then we can eat fragrant rice."

"Spirit rice, I don't have any; perhaps my father does—next time I'll ask him for some seeds."

"Then a bowl of rice with various meats would be pure heaven."

"Spirit rice also has many varieties; eating too much of some can increase one's qi and blood, making the body more formidable."

"The price will be higher, requiring many more care procedures; unlike spirit fruit, which needs no attention after planting—just a little tending and it's done."

"Chen Chuyang has plenty of time; he doesn't leave the mountain, basically spending all his time on these spirit medicines on the mountain."

"The spirit fish in Yu Tang don't need his watch; as long as Longshe Shan's spirit qi and spirit spring never cease, everything takes care of itself."

"This is also why Chen Chuyang chose to raise and plant spirit fruit—it doesn't require much time to manage, only the spirit medicines need a bit more care; even wild ones don't need constant watching, just an occasional glance."

"The main point is to do as one pleases."

"What flavor? So fragrant."

"The little foodie Shang Hongxue smelled the aroma, woke up early, she didn't sleep anymore, crawled out of the pot, staring fixedly at the fish in Chen Chuyang's hands."

"She licked her lips, she was starving, really wanting to eat grilled fish."

"That flavor lured her, making her unable to shift her gaze."

"I'll grill you another fish; first go wash up."

"Thank you, Chuyang brother."

"That girl went to wash up; Chen Churan in the pot also woke up with her—she had actually been awake already, but didn't sit up right away, waiting for Shang Hongxue to finish washing before she slowly rose."

"Second brother, I also want to eat grilled fish."

Chen Chuyang said disgustedly: "Hurry up and wash up, it's disgusting."

Chen Churan: "……"

"Both are women, why is the treatment so different?"

"Hmph."

"She stomped her feet; the angry Chen Churan also went to take a bath."

"It infuriated her—this brother always knows how to bully her."

"Chen Chuyang just wanted to do this—angering his little sister makes life interesting."

"He caught a few spirit fish, not feeling the slightest regret."

"These spirit fish are neither big nor small, about two catties each—leftovers from last time, just right to eat."

"The new batch hasn't fully grown yet; Chen Chuyang can't bear to use them for barbecue."

"Multitasking, he grilled them separately."

"When the grilled fish were done, the two girls finally arrived late, as if they had agreed beforehand to come to the table when eating."

"Shang Hongxue eagerly gnawed on the grilled fish, paying no attention to her image."

"Little sister Chen Churan paid a bit more attention, being quite refined."

"After the time it takes to burn an incense stick."

"The two ate their fill; the rest was given to Chen Chuyang to eat, leaving plenty of bones—Chen Chuyang then realized the mountain was missing something, namely a dog; it's a shame to waste all these bones."

"Longshe Shan lacks everything; for this, Chen Chuyang also feels helpless."

"Once he finds a suitable demon beast, he'll raise one."

"He'll definitely raise it white and plump."

"Crush the excess bones and throw them into Yu Tang as feed for the fish."

"Second brother, aren't you going to forge a sword for me?"

"Chen Churan eagerly inquired, taking out her storage bag and dumping a pile of collected items."

"There's plenty of material; many are things Chen Chuyang has seen before, a small part he recognizes but can't find."

"The little sister's stuff is quite complete; Chen Chuyang asked in surprise: 'Did you rob your master?'"

"Nowhere, these are all I collected myself; you know, I'm a genius of the Spirit Sword Sect, my master is an Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, her status stands as such, so many people want to flatter my master, therefore…"

"I see, her master has only her as a disciple."

"Her status naturally rises with her master's; those people can't find her master to flatter, so…"

"Aren't you afraid your master will cause you trouble?"

"Hehe, this was given to me by my master to accept."

"Eh?" Chen Chuyang asked again: "Then you take money but don't do the work?"

"I did, I really did—taking money and doing the work is my principle."

She takes only what she can manage, handles only what she can take; what she can't handle she won't take—she's not a fool, and if she can't get it done, people will bear a grudge.

"Looks like you're not stupid either."

"" Chen Churan rolled her eyes at her brother; in his eyes, she was nothing."

"I'm smart, okay? I still understand these social relations, and I don't want to make enemies for myself."

Chen Chuyang nodded, feeling reassured about this sister; no wonder the parents felt at ease letting her go alone to the Spirit Sword Sect.

Just this move of the sister is enough for many people to learn for a lifetime.

Chen Chuyang's childhood training was not wasted; his knowledge was not squandered.

"When you're out alone, you must pay attention to safety; don't try to be strong about things you shouldn't do."

As he spoke, he began to gather those materials, collecting them all.

Then he took out the Alchemy Furnace and began refining right there.

The two women naturally stepped back, not daring to get too close.

The earth fire blazed, the fire energy like a rainbow.

It burned the summit of Longshe Shan; Chen Chuyang made hand signs, compressing the earth fire.

Materials were tossed in one by one to melt; at this step, Chen Chuyang sped up.

Shang Hongxue's eyes lit up; all she saw was her older brother Chuyang.

"Chuyang older brother is so amazing."

Chen Churan stared in shock at her second older brother, then looked at the little fangirl beside her; who wouldn't like such a little fangirl?

In an instant she won the man's heart; this Shang Hongxue is even more formidable than Shang Hongchen.

"Second older brother, is your weapon refining making such a big commotion?"

Chen Churan watched silently, not daring to disturb her second older brother's weapon refining.

What followed left her dumbfounded.

Inscribing the Formation—at this step, the second older brother needed no thought, he simply inscribed.

His movements were too fast; one couldn't see the Formation he was inscribing.

Dazzling.

This is art.
