Chapter 910 Situ Xuanwu 2
Situ Xuanming nodded, cupped his hands in greeting to Yunxi, and then left the main hall with Haohui.

After Situ Xuanming left, Situ Xuanwu shook her head helplessly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, you flatter me. My younger brother is spoiled terribly by his family and always acts like he hasn't grown up."

Yunxi's lips twitched. He's over a thousand years old and still a child. How is she, a little baby who's not even four hundred years old, supposed to put herself in this situation?

Situ Xuanwu seemed to realize that Yunxi was even younger, so he smiled and said:

"The Situ family has passed down the art of weapon crafting, and this is still the case in our generation. However, my talent for weapon crafting is superior to Xuanming's. When he was young, he was not convinced and always tried to compete with me. Unfortunately, I always crushed him. In the end, he realized that it was impossible to surpass me in weapon crafting, so he turned to learning formations."

Because of his foundation in weapon crafting, he learned quite well this time, opening the door to a new world and going further and further down the path of an array master. As his cultivation improved, he also made a name for himself.

However, he always seemed awkward around me. If it weren't for the fact that the array plate he was refining this time was related to destroying the passage constructed by the evil god, he probably wouldn't have even considered cooperating with me.

Yunxi understood why Situ Xuanming was so awkward after hearing this, and said with a smile:

“Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, you have protected Xuanming too well. Apart from the time he suffered at your hands when he was young, his path has probably been smooth sailing since then, which is why he has time to be pretentious. If he were just an ordinary cultivator, he would be too busy to even think about how to cultivate smoothly. He wouldn’t have time to worry about these things.”

Situ Xuanwu laughed heartily after hearing this and said:

“What Fellow Daoist Ranxi said makes a lot of sense. After this matter is over, I will have a good talk with Xuanming.”

The two then discussed the details of refining the array plate.

On the other side, Hao Hui took Situ Xuanming to the Refining Peak. After receiving the message talisman, Xi Muran rushed over to greet him. When he learned the purpose of the sect leader bringing Situ Xuanming, his eyes lit up. He had the opportunity to watch a master craftsman refine a magic weapon, which was a rare opportunity. So he happily led the two to the best refining room on the Refining Peak.

After visiting the weapon-refining room, Situ Xuanming shared his thoughts, including the defensive formations he wanted to prepare. He was certain that if his eldest sister successfully refined the array plate, it would likely attract tribulation lightning.

Hao Hui noted everything down and then instructed Xi Muran to prepare it, demanding that he not leak the information, as he needed to personally prepare the new items for the weapon-refining room.

Xi Muran naturally understood the implications and agreed to go ahead with the preparations. A quarter of an hour later, Hao Hui and Situ Xuanming returned to the main hall on the main peak.

Seeing his elder sister and Ranxi having such a heated discussion, Situ Xuanming sat down beside them, listening intently, and occasionally offering his own opinions.

Half an hour later, Yunxi personally escorted the Situ siblings to Yingke Peak for temporary lodging, and explained with a smile:

"You two must be tired from your journey. Please rest for a couple of days. I will come to invite you again once the arrangements at the Weapon Refining Peak are complete."

Situ Xuanwu nodded and said:

"Okay, it won't make a difference if you wait a day or two. Just send us a message talisman once you've made the arrangements."

After Yunxi left Yingke Peak, Situ Xuanwu said to Xuanming beside her:
"Little brother, you weren't wrong about Ranxi this time. She truly has real skills. If it weren't for her age, her achievements in weapon crafting would probably be no less than mine." Situ Xuanming hadn't expected his elder sister to speak so highly of Ranxi, so he spoke the truth.

"I didn't see that coming. She was mainly responsible for restraining the Evil Lord on the ancient battlefield, and her combat strength was indeed remarkable, comparable to that of a veteran Mahayana True Venerable. But I didn't see that she had any talent for weapon crafting."

Situ Xuanwu replied with a smile:

"After you and the sect leader left, we exchanged ideas about refining immortal-grade array plates. Her theory is very solid, but what she lacks is practical experience. If she had a hundred or two hundred years to focus on refining artifacts, I believe she would definitely be able to combine theory with practice. She is a cultivator with a natural talent for refining artifacts."

Situ Xuanming disliked hearing the word "talent" the most, but he still spoke truthfully:
"As far as I know, among the four arts of cultivation, Fellow Daoist Ranxi has already mastered alchemy and talisman making. She has also dabbled in array formations, but she did not participate in the array master rank assessment. Otherwise, she would at least be a sixth-rank, no, she should be able to reach the seventh-rank. I have witnessed the power of the special array patterns she drew. Indeed, only immortal-rank array plates can withstand them."

Situ Xuanwu nodded after hearing this and said:

“I see. That’s why I said that as long as she has time, she should also make a breakthrough in weapon crafting. However, although you don’t have a talent for weapon crafting, you do have a talent for formations. You are unique in the Situ family. You are no worse than anyone else.”

Situ Xuanming focused on the last sentence. Being praised to his face by his older sister made him suddenly a little embarrassed, but he still awkwardly said:
“I know, that’s why I switched to array formations. I’m not as talented as you at weapon crafting, so I can’t go much further. Besides, everyone in the Situ family is crafting weapons, so we’re putting all our eggs in one basket. If I learn array formations, it will reduce the risks for the family. Isn’t that evident now?”

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness.

Situ Xuanwu simply smiled and then began to talk about refining the array.

Three days later, after Xi Muran had finished setting up the new weapon-refining room, he waited at the door for the arrival of the two True Venerables.

Not only did the Situ siblings come this time, but Cao Yi and Nan Yue also arrived at the Refining Peak with Yun Xi.

Cao Yi goes without saying; he designed this array plate, and as the initial refiner, his presence was essential. Nan Yue, on the other hand, had previously participated in separating immortal-grade materials and was very familiar with the required refining materials, which could improve refining efficiency, so he came uninvited.

Seeing so many big shots at once, Xi Muran couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He was determined to sneak into the weapon-refining room to observe and broaden his horizons.

After the five entered the weapon-refining room, Yunxi waved her sleeve and took out several weapon-refining materials, including the eighth-tier tiger skin she had won from Hu Ben, the five-colored scales given to her by Ling Li, and the red robe with dark gold patterns. She said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, you must need to get a feel for it before you start refining. So I'll shamelessly ask you to help me upgrade the grade of my robe. I've prepared all the materials. Please see if it's enough."

Situ Xuanwu raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the materials Yunxi had laid out, and then she said with a smile:
"The materials that Fellow Daoist Ranxi has prepared are enough to upgrade the robe's grade. I think this tiger skin is a good thing; it can be used to refine a cloak on its own. What do you think?"

Yunxi immediately nodded with a smile, indicating that there was no problem.

Situ Xuanwu was also itching to get started. With such good materials laid out before her, she didn't hesitate and instructed Xuanming and Nanyue to assist her as she began processing the materials.

Xi Muran watched intently from the side, his eyes shining, occasionally jotting something down in the blank jade slip, his gaze always fixed on Situ Xuanwu.
