The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost exhausted. Her originally abundant spiritual energy had been completely depleted, which made her body feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, she didn't care about looking at the dagger anymore and immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Seeing this, Fairy Fulan, who was not far away, waved her hand and took the dagger that Ruan Mianmian had made, and looked it over.

With just one glance, her eyes flashed, revealing a hint of surprise.

She was a master of the Mahayana stage. Testing such a small knife required no action at all; she only needed to hold it and glance at it a few times to know its quality.

This dagger is exceptional in terms of attack, defense, and resilience.

This greatly surprised Fairy Fran.

Ruan Mianmian has a wood spirit root, and her learning speed is slower than that of other disciples, which she has witnessed firsthand. However, such a disciple actually managed to forge a top-grade dagger!

That's truly incredible!

Perhaps it's because this disciple named Ruan Mianmian is diligent.

Thinking of this, Fairy Fran nodded, as if further affirming herself.

The other disciples who were forging daggers were somewhat shaken when they saw Ruan Mianmian finish forging the dagger. When they saw Fairy Fulan take the dagger over and nod as she looked at it, some of them even began to feel uneasy.

"Bang—" The most severely affected part exploded!

Fairy Fulan frowned and looked at the disciple who had caused the explosion.

The disciple blushed, but dared not argue. Instead, he stood up, bowed, and said, "Master, I was not focused when I was refining the weapon. I was wrong. Please punish me."

"Alright, there's still one more chance." Fairy Fran waved her hand.

The disciple quickly changed the furnace, took out another set of materials, and focused his mind on refining the ingredients, not daring to do anything else.

Seeing this, the other disciples dared not be careless and quickly gathered their chaotic thoughts to begin refining the product diligently.

When Ruan Mianmian opened her eyes, she saw the other disciples refining weapons. Fairy Fulan was holding a dagger that Ruan Mianmian had just forged. She quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Martial Aunt—"

Fairy Fulan nodded slightly and handed the dagger to Ruan Mianmian: "This is what you made. Take a look."

Ruan Mianmian took the dagger and examined it carefully.

The dagger looked similar to those in her world, appearing quite ordinary, though its color was slightly darker. One glance was enough to tell that this dagger could cut through iron like mud.

However, whether it can truly cut through iron like mud remains to be verified.

Ruan Mianmian picked up the steel from the remaining materials and began slicing it with her dagger.

To see the effect, she deliberately did not use her spiritual power.

Clang——

A piece of that iron was shaved off.

Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed; this was truly as easy as cutting iron with mud.

Suddenly, Fairy Fulan's voice rang in my ears: "I'll use the power of a Qi Refining Stage Perfection cultivator to cut this dagger of yours. See how it goes."

Ruan Mianmian nodded hurriedly and placed the dagger on the table.

Fairy Fulan used a similar dagger to slash at Ruan Mianmian's dagger. The dagger made a "clang" sound but did not break. Only a faint scratch appeared on the dagger.

Ruan Mianmian picked up the dagger, examined it carefully for a moment, and then looked at Fairy Fulan with delight: "Uncle-Master, how is my dagger?"

"You are very good. This dagger is perfect in every aspect." Fairy Fulan looked at Ruan Mianmian with a much kinder gaze than before.

In the past, although Ruan Mianmian was Changhong Fairy's apprentice and her daughter Yingxue's good friend, she didn't really care about her because of her poor weapon-refining skills.

Now it seems I misjudged her; my judgment was far inferior to that of Fairy Changhong and my own daughter.

Hearing Fairy Fulan's affirmation, Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed. She held the dagger and examined it from all angles, exclaiming happily, "Wow, how am I so amazing?"

Fairy Fran had already put on the filter that her junior apprentice was very talented in weapon crafting, so when she heard her boasting, she was not angry at all, but instead thought that she was as beautiful and lovely as her own daughter.

Ruan Mianmian put the dagger into her storage ring, took out the remaining materials, and said to Fairy Fulan, "Uncle-Master, there's one more set of materials. I'd like to try it out."

"Go then," Fairy Fran nodded encouragingly.

After sorting the materials, Ruan Mianmian reviewed the knowledge she had acquired during her studies and the ideas that arose from that knowledge in her mind. Then, she swallowed a Qi-replenishing pill and began the refining process.

This time, she incorporated her own insights into the refining process, which resulted in an increased use of spiritual energy.

Although Ruan Mianmian had taken a Qi-replenishing pill before refining the spirit energy, she was still finding it extremely difficult to refine the spirit energy now, much more difficult than before.

However, she knew that if she made a mistake, the dagger would be ruined. So even though she was very tired and the spiritual energy in her dantian and meridians was almost exhausted, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, constantly throwing Qi-replenishing pills into her mouth while circulating her cultivation technique to try to absorb the wood spiritual energy in the air.

She had no choice; if she couldn't quickly replenish her spiritual energy, her refining attempt would definitely fail.

Fortunately, in order to speed up her cultivation these days, she had gotten into the habit of circulating her cultivation technique at night, allowing it to operate on its own. After actively circulating it once, the technique started operating on its own again, just like before, saving her the trouble of absorbing wood elemental energy.

In the final stage of the refining process, Ruan Mianmian's vision went black, and she felt completely soaked. She bit her tongue hard to maintain her final state, and then spat the blood from her bitten tongue onto the dagger at the end of the refining process.

After that, she closed her eyes and completely lost consciousness.

With a gentle flick of her long sleeves, Fairy Fulan helped Ruan Mianmian up, and with a light touch of her other hand, a low-key yet luxurious canopy bed appeared beside her.

She placed Ruan Mianmian in the canopy bed, set up a spirit-gathering array, and then took the blood-infused dagger from Ruan Mianmian to examine it.

In the past, the other disciples would have been envious and jealous of Fairy Fulan, and would have secretly held a grudge against Ruan Mianmian. But today, seeing that Ruan Mianmian had succeeded twice in refining the product, they were filled with admiration and dared not have any more thoughts.

Instead, they were very interested in the finished dagger of Ruan Mianmian. After exchanging glances, they all crowded around and asked, "Master, what do you think of Mianmian's dagger?"

Fairy Fulan brandished the dagger in the air for a moment, then stopped and glanced at the disciples: "You can now compare to your senior brothers and sisters from the previous batch."

The disciples gasped, their eyes practically green with envy.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Fran sighed inwardly and examined each of their daggers. After looking at them, she was disappointed and said, "You have mastered what I taught you, but you don't know how to adapt it. Although you have all added your own ideas, you have failed to combine them with the materials, so the daggers you have forged are all lacking something. In terms of quality, they are all inferior."

This is addressed to disciples who successfully refined the item; there's no need to discourage those who failed twice.

Ruan Mianmian came to her senses again and found herself lying on an antique-style bed. She was so frightened that she sat up abruptly.
