"She and my mother have known each other since childhood and have been sworn sisters."

"My parents died when I was young. She took pity on me and often visited me at the Xia family or brought me to the Chu family to play."

"She and I are not only elders and juniors, but also close friends."

It turned out to be the case.

I noticed Xia Yuke's low mood.

Lu Zhiqiu did not continue this topic, but changed the subject and talked about other things.

She smiled slightly and said:

"How about it, are you confident about this competition?"

Hear this.

Xia Yuke wanted to pat her chest and nod, but she seemed to have thought of something, so she just frowned and said worriedly:

"If one can refine a foundation-building magical instrument, then victory is a sure thing. No matter how powerful other young instrument refiners are, they will never be able to surpass him."

"But I have no experience in refining foundation-building instruments, so I'm not really sure."

"And if you only refine the best Qi training instruments, then at best you can tie for first place, but you won't be able to gain an overwhelming advantage."

"But I'm not content with just being tied for first place. I want to shock the old men of the Chu family, especially Chu Lie, who had that sour face just now."

Speaking of Chu Lie, Xia Yuke's face showed a hint of anger again, and he clenched his fists and waved them forward a few times.

Lu Zhiqiu felt a little embarrassed at this time.

After all, she came to the Xilan Realm that night and just messed up Xia Yuke's attempt to build the foundation and refine the equipment.

She took a step forward, smoothed her bangs and said:

"What happened last time..."

"I told you not to mention that!"

Before Lu Zhiqiu could speak, Xia Yuke covered his mouth with her hand.

Lu Zhiqiu didn't dare to speak anymore.

She was afraid that Xia Yuke would knock her down again and rub her face until it turned red.

Fortunately.

Xia Yuke was not so extreme this time.

She just straightened her clothes and said seriously:

"The last time I refined the foundation-building magic weapon, it was indeed an attempt to prepare for the competition."

"But there are only three days left before the competition. Even if I were to practice in advance, I wouldn't have the time. Not to mention that neither you nor I have the materials to refine weapons right now."

"However, if I could observe a large number of foundation-building instruments and deepen my understanding, it would be a quick way to achieve success."

Lu Zhiqiu rubbed his brows and thought for a long time before he said carefully:

"I have a way to give you references to many foundation-building magic tools, but perhaps, they can only be considered as a magic tool."

Xia Yuke was confused.

What does it mean to have many foundation-building magic tools, and what counts as a foundation-building magic tool?

She really wanted to say that what Lu Zhiqiu said was simply not human and she couldn't even understand it.

But soon.

Lu Zhiqiu used practice to explain her inhuman words.

Huanghuali wood table, celadon cups, silk tablecloths, nanmu bedside cabinet...

These apparently ordinary objects, after Lu Zhiqiu touched them, unexpectedly gave off a trace of sharp sword energy, the quality of which was no less than that of a foundation-building flying sword.

"Do you think they are multiple foundation-building artifacts, or the same one?"

Xia Yuke is indeed a weapon-making genius who has inherited the legacy of a Nascent Soul weapon-making master.

After looking at it for a while.

She looked at Lu Zhiqiu and said seriously:

"To be able to transform matter into a sword to this degree, there must be a terrifying divine sword lurking within you..."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded, then spread his hands and said helplessly:

"But if you want to take advantage of it, you'd better give up as soon as possible."

"I am currently limited by my cultivation and cannot drive it."

"Don't ask me about the origin, grade, characteristics, etc. of this sword. I know nothing about it, just like you do."

Xia Yuke had no doubts.

It is a blessing to be able to hide such a magic sword by chance. It is really a fantasy to want to drive it with just a little Qi training.

Lu Zhiqiu smiled and said:

"So, are these strange-looking...flying swords any use to you?"

Xia Yuke nodded excitedly:

"of course."

"Although it was inspired by a high-level magic sword and is not a properly refined foundation-building magic weapon, its grade has indeed reached the foundation-building stage and it still has a high reference value."

"Besides, the fact that sword energy can be entrusted to these plants, trees, stones and yarns is itself a phenomenon worthy of study."

"It is very helpful in controlling materials and sorting out spirituality when refining equipment."

Talking and talking.

Xia Yuke actually forgot that Lu Zhiqiu was by her side.

Sometimes he touched the teacup, sometimes he hugged the table leg, with a shining light in his eyes.

Even... he licked it with his tongue.

Lu Zhiqiu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and quickly slipped out of the house.

But she did not go too far, and continued to output spiritual power to maintain the enlightenment of these objects, so that they remained at the foundation-building level.

not far away.

She leaned against a locust tree in the yard and looked up at the sky.

She remembered that before coming, Xia Mingtian told her that he could sell the Chu family a championship in order to break the situation and win over the [Hengliu Alliance].

But she feels it now.

This is not necessarily the case.

She used the sword energy of the Baier Qinguan Sword to transform objects into swords, which was extremely attractive to weapon refiners.

For example, Xia Yuke was so fascinated that she jumped up and down in the room, completely disregarding her personal image.

Then her cultivation will increase in the future.

He can call upon more sword energy and can materialize a Jindan-level flying sword at will.

For the Chu family, isn’t this a windfall?

This is much more valuable than giving someone the title of champion of a youth weapon refining competition.

Due to the existence of Huatian Sect.

The people of the Xilan Realm were unable to break through to the Golden Elixir stage, so naturally they were unable to refine Golden Elixir instruments. Those passed down from ancient times were all collected by the Huatian Sect and brought into the Yunshang Fairy Palace.

This has led to the extinction of golden elixir magic tools in the current world of immortal cultivation.

If the Chu family knew, they would give them the opportunity to observe the Jindan-level magic weapon.

I'm afraid there's no need for me to say anything more, the Chu family will take the initiative to join Lu Zhiqiu's action and overthrow the Huatian Sect together.

Think about this.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Zhiqiu's mouth.

Chapter 14: The Equipment Refining Conference Begins

three days later.

The competition begins.

The Chu family lives at the foot of Changxu Mountain. In order to hold this youth weapon refining competition, they specially cleared a large open space at the foot of the mountain for the contestants to show their skills.

Seeing Xia Yuke and Lu Zhiqiu coming, a woman came forward to greet them with a smile.

It was Chu Xuannan.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they got down to business.

Chu Xuannan took out a stack of documents from his sleeve and handed them to the two of them.

"This thick stack is the player information that Aunt Nan has collected."

"Of course, the others are just so-so. There are only three of them who require your special attention."

Lu Zhiqiu and Xia Yuke carefully read through the contestants' information.

Sure enough, there were three people marked with red circles by Chu Xuannan.

Chu Xuannan on the side was about to introduce.

Xia Yuke suddenly stuffed the information back to her and chuckled:

"Okay, we're done."

Chu Xuannan frowned and said seriously:

"Xiao Yuke, you must not underestimate the enemy."

"The others are fine, but the three I've marked out for you are all from famous families, and they all have experience in refining high-grade Qi training magic tools."

She put the information in her arms and said carefully:

"One Wang Yuan is the son of Wang Laogui, the master of casual cultivation weapons. He is exactly 29 years old this year. He just refined a high-grade Qi training sword three months ago. He is very powerful."

"A Wei Yan, who is about the same age as you, should not be as accomplished as you, but he was extremely lucky and actually picked up an inheritance that can improve the rank. When he uses it when refining a mid-grade Qi training instrument, he can directly upgrade to the upper grade of Qi training."

"There's also Chu Kang, the son of my brother Chu Lie. I don't need to introduce him in detail, right? He's aiming to acquire a top-grade Qi training weapon this time, and he's the strongest of the three."

"The last time you ran into Chu Lie in the garden, he even teased you. Now that I think about it, it was because of your participation that his son's victory became uncertain, and that's why he holds a grudge against you."

"It's really sad. My biological brother gave birth to him, and my step-sister gave birth to you. I am the only one who is left alone and no one wants me."

When talking about Chu Kang, Chu Xuannan couldn't help but cover her face and sigh, as if she was sad about being single.

Xia Yuke rolled her eyes at her and snorted:

"Don't think I don't know, Aunt Nan, you just like being single."

"I can travel around the world to eat delicious food instead of being stuck at home with all sorts of chores."

Chu Xuannan coughed twice and quickly winked at Xia Yuke.

Of course Xia Yuke knew what Chu Xuannan meant: There are outsiders here, so don’t expose your aunt’s shortcomings, little girl.

She chuckled and changed the subject in due time:

"Okay, back to the competition."

"I know Chu Kang very well. He was trained by the Chu family as the successor to the weapon refining technique. I even asked him for advice on weapon refining techniques when I was a child."

"But compared to me, you're still a long way behind."

"Besides, I have this little thief these days, ahem... Miss Lu's training has reached a higher level. Chu Kang, Wang Kang, and Li Kang are nothing but that!"
