The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Next, it's time to refine," Hu Xingtong muttered to himself, and then began to refine. Seeing this, Chen Wu found a high-level barrier talisman from among the numerous talisman papers, handed it to Hu Xingtong, and then consciously stepped aside to avoid disturbing Hu Xingtong.

The refining of the dragon head pole stick can be regarded as the third weapon that Hu Xingtong has seriously refined. It is slightly more difficult than the spiritual weapons given by Wen Zhao, but that is all.

Just as Hu Xingtong was using the Nine Gold Cold Star Fire to start tempering the materials, an idea that was not suitable for the current situation suddenly popped up in his mind. As soon as this idea came out, Hu Xingtong immediately nervously checked the materials in front of him.

It was obvious that something was wrong. The materials for the cable joint, handle, and front cone were all there, but the only thing missing was a soft cable connecting the three.

Thinking of this, Hu Xingtong immediately went to search all the storage magic treasures on her body. However, even if she turned everything upside down, she could not find a single piece of material suitable for making a soft rope.

"It's over. We're missing some materials." Hu Xingtong collapsed on the ground with a look of despair on her face. She was still missing a key that connected everything. Where could she find it?

"Which material is missing?" Seeing her like this, the system quickly called up the system panel, ready to find it for her.

Hu Xingtong tilted his head to look at her, and instantly perked up. He said hurriedly, "We're short of a rope. We need a material that's tough, cold-resistant, strong, and flexible."

Chen Wu looked around according to his request but couldn't find any materials nearby that could be used to refine this kind of thing, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Aren't there any spiritual beasts or something like that? Let's look for snakes, dragons or something like that." Hu Xingtong thought of a cartoon she had seen before, in which little Nezha pulled out a dragon tendon to make a belt for his father. She thought that the dragon tendon was very suitable for making a soft rope.

"I can't find any spiritual creatures, I can only sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy." Chen Wu shook his head and then offered a suggestion, "If you need to find a cold-resistant spiritual beast, I'm afraid you have to go find Qingyue. She's familiar with this place and should know where you can find what you want."

"Qingyue is guarding Zijing now, so she may not be able to help me. Hey, can't my master help me?"

"No, you can't. Have you forgotten what your master said before that his clone is restricted?"

"Ah... well, I can only try my luck with Qingyue. Can you find Qingyue's location?"

Chen Wu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I can try to find Zi Jing's demonic energy, but if there is a strong spiritual interference or barrier protection around Qing Yue, then I may not be able to accurately locate it."

Hu Xingtong's eyes flashed with anxiety when he heard this, but he immediately cheered up: "No matter what, we have to try. Help me look for it now, maybe we can find it."

Chen Wu nodded, turned to look at the panel, and tapped on it quickly with his fingers. Hu Xingtong only saw the scenes in the secret realm flashing on the panel from time to time, which dazzled her.

Finally, after a while, Chen Wu's brows finally relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Got it, but the location is a bit uncertain. I guess we'll have to grope around for a while."

Hu Xingtong cheered up immediately after hearing this: "It's okay, it's okay. At worst, I can ask my master to take me there. Don't worry about it. Let's go first!"

The two of them set off as soon as they said they would. Chen Wu returned to Hu Xingtong's body to lead the way, and Hu Xingtong obediently followed his instructions. They crossed the dense forest, crossed the stream, and rushed in the direction indicated by Chen Wu.

After traveling for a while, they finally arrived at a secluded valley surrounded by dense trees and with only a narrow path leading into it.

"Right here! My location shows she's nearby. Look around." Chen Wu stopped Hu Xingtong from moving forward and warned him.

Hu Xingtong nodded and looked around. Within the range of the scanning eye, Hu Xingtong felt a fresh and pleasant demonic aura, and he knew that they had found the right place.

They walked cautiously along the path into the valley, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Finally, they arrived in front of a barrier surrounded by thousands of flowers.

Feeling the strong and warm demonic aura in front of her, Hu Xingtong felt relaxed physically and mentally, and the rich breath of life around her made her unable to help but indulge in it.

This is the Breath of All Creatures, a unique gift of the Spring Branch Demon. It can condense the auras of all the herbal spirit beasts near its birthplace, possessing an extremely strong aura of life. Contact with it can prolong the lifespan of mortals, while for cultivators, it can refine impurities from the body and enhance their cultivation.

"Isn't that the innate energy?" Hu Xingtong was a little excited, wondering if he would get twice the result with half the effort if he came here to practice.

[Yes, your Qi Gathering Domain Plate should have absorbed quite a bit.]

"Tsk, luckily I brought it with me, otherwise I would have missed it." Hu Xingtong was secretly thankful in his heart. At the same time, he was also checking the invisible barrier in front of him.

Hu Xingtong looked around but couldn't find the entrance to the barrier. Feeling a little discouraged, he turned to ask Chen Wu, "Can you break this barrier?"

"I'm just saying that even a cultivator like you can't open the barrier. What can I do? Are you trying to embarrass me?" Chen Wu poked his hands in grievance. Hu Xingtong could even imagine Chen Wu pouting and turning his head away.

"Forget it, let's go back." With that, Hu Xingtong planned to go back. If it really doesn't work, she will just ask Wen Zhao to buy one. She has gained a lot from this trip to Hanlu Mountain. At least the spiritual jades in the storage bag she picked up are enough for her to buy a good pair of bones.

[Wait, no need to go back! I sense a powerful demonic energy fluctuation, it seems to be Qingyue!] Chen Wu immediately stopped Hu Xingtong from leaving and hurriedly shouted in Hu Xingtong's mind.

Hu Xingtong paused when he heard this, and retracted his steps as he was about to move. Before he could speak to confirm, a familiar demonic aura attacked from behind him. Hu Xingtong frowned and dodged, while shouting into the barrier, "Senior Qingyue, it's me!"

She didn't want to call him "senior", but Hu Xingtong was afraid that someone would give her a beating.

As soon as the voice came out, the man's attack became more fierce. A cold blade edge attacked Hu Xingtong's face. Hu Xingtong felt irritated and summoned Qing Huanjian to chop out.

Instead, at this moment, the opponent's attack dissipated, as if it had never existed, and turned into snowflakes in front of Hu Xingtong's eyes and melted by the sun.

What was going on? Hu Xingtong was clueless and could only put away the Qing Huan Sword and wait.

Soon, a pair of cold hands climbed up Hu Xingtong's shoulders. Hu Xingtong was frightened and trembled all over, but then she relaxed because she recognized the owner of these hands - Qingyue.

"You scared me." Hu Xingtong was about to chop out with the Qing Huan Sword, but fortunately she reacted in time.

"Why did you come to me?" Qingyue's face didn't look good, and she seemed a little unhappy. Hu Xingtong thought that it might be because he came too presumptuously without notifying her in advance, so he bowed and explained, "I have something to ask you, so I asked my master."

Grandmaster, don’t blame me for using you as a shield. I’m really scared of Qingyue’s beating.

After listening to Hu Xingtong's explanation, Qingyue's expression softened a bit, but not much. She said to Hu Xingtong indifferently, "Your senior sister has successfully chosen a path, and our bet is over. Besides, your master is still alive, so what can you possibly bring to my head?"

She didn't know if Hu Xingtong was wrong, but she always felt that there was a hint of jealousy and sourness in Qingyue's tone.

Hu Xingtong smiled apologetically and explained, "No way. No matter how powerful my master is, he's not as powerful as you. Besides, who are you? You're the only Snow Moon Demon in the world. My master can have many, but you're only one. What's more, you're also good-looking. How can a stinky man like my master compare to you?"

Wuuuu, Master, don’t blame me. I didn’t mean to say bad things about you. It was Qingyue who forced me to do that!
