The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Listening to Hu Xingtong's words, Qingyue was in a rare good mood. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her slender white jade hand lifted Hu Xingtong's chin, her voice bewitching and tender, "Oh, even so, then tell me about it."

Such an ambiguous atmosphere made Hu Xingtong extremely unbearable. He swallowed silently, his cheeks flushed as if scalded by hot water. He coughed lightly, calmed down, and said, "Senior... Senior, cough... I just want to ask if there are any ice-attributed monsters nearby. I want to refine a soft weapon, and I need materials similar to ropes."

Looking at the blushing little guy in front of her, Qingyue had an idea of ​​playing with him. She leaned close to Hu Xingtong's ear and whispered, "Yes, there is, but why should I tell you?" After that, Qingyue withdrew, leaving Hu Xingtong with an unhappy back.

Seeing Qingyue about to leave, Hu Xingtong was a little dazed. He hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "Wait a minute, Senior, if you had told me, you could have asked for anything."

[Xingxing, are you crazy? Even if Qingyue didn't get the news, you could still go find Sixu.] The system saw this scene in space and jumped in panic. Qingyue's posture was obviously just teasing Hu Xingtong, so how could this stupid child take it seriously?

Oh, yes.

Hu Xingtong realized it later and stopped, thought about it, and decided to give up Qingyue. Just as he was about to leave, Qingyue caught up with him.

"How about I take you there? If I help you, will you stay?" Qingyue leaned close to Hu Xingtong's ear, her voice so tender and charming that it made Hu Xingtong's ears burn. He moved away a little before saying, "No need. Just tell me where it is and I'll go by myself. I also want to test my strength."

Hearing this, Qingyue chuckled, her eyebrows curved and her look was a bit cute like a little girl. This scene was very pleasing to Hu Xingtong's eyes.

"I'll tell you if you beg me." Qingyue didn't know why, but she found it amusing to see Hu Xingtong hiding from her with his ears red, so she moved closer to Hu Xingtong, wanting to see how he would react.

However, Hu Xingtong didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Sister Qingyue, please, please, please help me, okay? I don't care, you are the best, okay, you are the best~"

Hu Xingtong, who spends her free time browsing Douyin in the real world, can be easily confused the moment she starts acting coquettishly. Her teasing little voice coupled with her high-end and childish looks, makes anyone feel confused.

Qingyue, who had only wanted to tease Hu Xingtong, was now embarrassed by her behavior. After covering her mouth and coughing lightly, she pointed Hu Xingtong in a direction and added, "There's a pool of water on the hill where you previously rescued your fellow apprentice. It's connected to the cold pool outside. Go there and look for a Night Python that's about to transform into a dragon. It has ice attributes and is gifted. It should be more suitable for your needs."

"Ah ...

Qingyue was slightly startled by this hug, then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she gently patted Hu Xingtong on the back.

"Okay, but you have to be careful. That night python has already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If you can't handle it, you can come to me, your sister." Qingyue's voice was filled with concern and teasing, which made Hu Xingtong feel warm in his heart.

Hu Xingtong reluctantly let go of her arms, "It's okay, it's just the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, not too difficult, it's a good opportunity for me to practice!" After saying that, she turned around and rushed in the direction Qingyue pointed, leaving Qingyue with only her back.

Seeing Hu Xingtong leave, Qingyue was about to leave as well. However, just as she turned around, she seemed to suddenly think of something. She paused and murmured, "Forget it. Who told you to call me sister? I'd better find some reinforcements to keep an eye on you, lest anything happens to you and that fellow Sixu gives me trouble."

After saying this, Qingyue gently waved her sleeves, and a faint white demonic energy gradually dissipated in the air, quietly flying away. After doing all this, she nodded with satisfaction, and her figure turned into a wisp of white smoke, instantly disappearing from the spot, leaving only a faint fragrance that lingered in the air for a long time.

……

Elsewhere, Hu Xingtong followed Qingyue's instructions and soon arrived at the pool. Looking around, he saw layers of frost occasionally appearing on the surface of the water, which was filled with cold air, as if there was a hidden danger.

[Xingxing, this seems to be the hidden entrance to this secret realm, but it's currently sealed.]

"A hidden entrance? It seems that only Qingyue can open it." Thinking about the day when Sun Ze and Xiao Yuheng entered the secret realm without anyone noticing and were trapped on this iceberg, it must be related to Qingyue.

She took a deep breath, adjusted herself, and was about to step into the pool when suddenly a low roar came from the bottom of the pool, shaking the surrounding air.

Hu Xingtong's heart trembled, knowing that the Night Python, about to transform into a dragon, must have sensed her approach. She summoned the Qing Huan Sword, her spiritual energy surging within her, ready to respond at any moment. At that moment, the water suddenly churned, and a massive snake covered in lavender scales broke through the waves. Its massive body traced a graceful arc through the air, heading straight for Hu Xingtong.

"Fuck, isn't this just a snake? Little carp, help me!" The huge creature in front of him looked very similar to the cobra in the real world at first glance, but it had two long and sharp grooved teeth at the front of its jaw, and most importantly, the two red vertical pupils, which made Hu Xingtong's hair stand on end.

[Xingxing, this is Night Python. You've violated his territory, and he's angry.]

"No, this is your house. Why are you meddling so much? I can't even take two steps."

"Swish--" The night python's tail swung violently in the air, bringing up a gust of cold wind mixed with ice chips and attacking Hu Xingtong.

Hu Xingtong dodged the Night Python's first attack with a flash of his body. At the same time, the long sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and the scanning eye continued to scan the Night Python's body, trying to find its weak spot.

However, the Night Python was much faster than Hu Xingtong had imagined. It circled in the air and then pounced on Hu Xingtong again. This time, it opened its huge mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and a faint purple aura lingered around it, suggesting it was preparing to launch an attack.

He stabbed at the Night Python's seven inches. However, the Night Python reacted extremely quickly, twisting its body in the air and easily avoiding the attack. It then swept its tail towards Hu Xingtong, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.

Hu Xingtong was secretly shocked. She hadn't expected the Night Python to be so powerful. She didn't dare to be careless and focused on dealing with the Night Python, striving for precision and lethality in every attack.

However, there is a big gap between the demon beasts in the Nascent Soul stage and the cultivators in the Golden Core stage. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Hu Xingtong. After thinking about it, Hu Xingtong remembered that there were many sword techniques and exercises in the things Si Xu had given him before. At that time, he only took a few glances and had not had time to learn.

"Xiao Wuzi, help me find some skills and pass them on to me directly."

[Learn now?] The system was shocked by her idea and asked in disbelief.

"There's no other way. I don't know many ways of attack. I need some tricks." Hu Xingtong used the Qing Huan Sword to conduct fire and continuously fought against the Night Python with each move. However, the strange fire was not very effective against the Night Python, and it could only temporarily delay the Night Python's attack.

[I passed it on to you...]

Following the system's prompt, a stream of information flooded into Hu Xingtong's mind. The sheer volume of information forced Hu Xingtong to stand still and take time to digest the essence of the secret. Meanwhile, the Night Python attacked again, its massive body pressing down like a mountain, spewing a purple poisonous mist from its mouth, attempting to envelop Hu Xingtong.

The tail swung out a sharp blade directly towards Hu Xingtong. There was no time to dodge, so Hu Xingtong could only use his body to withstand the blow. It was at this moment that the intense impact made Hu Xingtong feel sore and swollen all over his body, and a fishy and sweet taste in his throat.

"Wow——" a mouthful of blood spit out.

Hu Xingtong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and used his sword to support his body to stand.

Looking at Ye Mang's eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent, Hu Xingtong was surrounded by black and red mist at this moment, and she looked like a god of death walking out of hell. Even Ye Mang was frightened by her appearance. He roared angrily and retreated half an inch, but it was only half an inch.

The Night Python was clearly thrown off balance by Hu Xingtong's sudden change. It roared again, its purple aura growing even denser as it attempted to suppress Hu Xingtong with even greater force. However, Hu Xingtong, empowered by his swordsmanship, had already mastered the essence of the sword techniques transmitted by the system. His movements and swordsmanship were perfectly coordinated, and each attack landed squarely on the Night Python's vital points.

After a fierce clash, the Night Python finally showed signs of fatigue, its scales ripped open by Hu Xingtong's sword, its purple blood staining the surrounding water red. Hu Xingtong seized the opportunity and swung his sword again. The black and red blade of the Killing Sword Song sliced ​​through the ice and snow, striking the Night Python in the groin.

Finally, under this fierce attack, the Night Python let out a shrill roar, and its huge body fell powerlessly back into the pool. After struggling for a few times, it became motionless.

Seeing this, Hu Xingtong was overjoyed, and he lost the strength to support himself. His body swayed and he collapsed to the ground.

Looking up at the cloudless white sky above the pond, Hu Xingtong exhaled a puff of white mist and sighed, "So this is how cultivators acquire resources. They really are risking their lives!"
