The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 293 Departure
Feng Ying thought about how Su Ninglong was only a teenager and felt so jealous that she put on a mask of pain.

After being tempered by spiritual fire, even the most ordinary sword gains a touch of mystery.

After the flying sword was completed, Su Ninglong handed it to Lei Qingya.

Lei Qingya accepted the sword with both hands and examined it. Then, holding the hilt, he swung it around, and with just a simple slash, a clear and pleasant "dragon's roar" could be heard from the blade, and the air seemed to emit a mournful sound as it was being cut.

"Such a soft sword, so limp, how can I wield it? How can I hurt someone?"

Su Ninglong hadn't used a soft sword in a long time. "This is a deadly weapon. Would you like to test its power?"

"Alright!" Lei Qingya picked up an ordinary sword and began to fight Su Ninglong.

As it turns out, any weapon can become a king in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

A limp sword can be used to perform all sorts of insidious tricks; its blade can always emerge from unexpected directions.

With his superb forging skills, Lei Qingya had several small wounds on his body.

After grimacing as she applied the ointment, she transformed Qianji into a soft sword and tried out Su Ninglong's starting attack moves a few times.

Sadly, she discovered that she wasn't very good at controlling the soft sword.

The soft sword seemed to have its own thoughts, and so did her hand.

Being busy on both fronts and unable to manage both effectively, applying the soft sword to actual combat is no easy task.

Fortunately, Lei Qingya had a great passion for all kinds of weapons, just like when he was learning to shoot.

After working up a sweat, she turned around and saw that the area where she was refining artifacts was piled up with sacred artifacts that were in the initial stages of shaping.

"Feng Daying (nickname), you are so cunning, you started the work secretly without telling me."

Feng Ying said softly, "The task is right here. If I finish it sooner, I can practice the final steps and maybe help you."

Lei Qingya believed him: "Is that so? You've already mastered the final step?"

Feng Ying smiled enigmatically, "I understand, but I can't guarantee the quality."

"Then what did you say?" Lei Qingya resigned herself to her fate. A weapon-refining dog doesn't deserve to rest. She returned to the weapon-refining furnace and obediently completed her task first.

Su Ninglong then slowly opened the silencing array and unfolded the screen.

After blocking her view, she first brewed a pot of tea, took a couple of sips, and calmed herself down.

Then display the Secret Agent's Token and the Killer's Token that you just obtained.

Within the secret token, a resentful consciousness emanates, constantly disturbing the holder's thoughts and continuously generating negative emotions.

The power of shadow crawlers remains as strong as ever; without deliberate blocking, they will be affected to some extent.

Su Ninglong didn't resist deliberately. A disgusting phantom appeared before her eyes, insects crawled out from every dark place, and countless eyes focused on her.

Seductive words echoed continuously.

"Do you think you're invincible once you reach the Nascent Soul stage? Qi Shen is stronger than you; you'll always be one step behind him."

"You are the most respectable person in the entire universe. Accept us, and we can provide you with a continuous source of strength."

"The world of the Mystic Spirits is the end of power. Countless humans have sacrificed themselves for us. You should know that we are the gods that humans talk about."

The sounds were like sandpaper repeatedly rubbing against metal, mixed with an indescribable itching and nausea.

Its words seemed like a well-intentioned reminder, or perhaps a casual piece of advice.

Su Ninglong, who was well aware of the Mysterious Spirit's virtues, knew that it was provoking her, testing her through provocation, and trying to sneak into the gaps in her heart.

Su Ninglong placed the Taotie token above the Secret Agent's Token without touching it, just keeping it close by.

The ominous aura was slowly absorbed, and the Taotie brand, like a gluttonous ghost, devoured everything.

It is merely a sealing object; it does not possess the ability to devour spirits, at most it can remove ominous auras.

The steam from the cup of tea on the table rose gracefully and then dissipated, and an afternoon quietly passed by.

Su Ninglong observed the changes in the Secret Agent's Order.

The shadow crawlers within the Mysterious Order remain active, exhibiting a strong invasive intent.

But with the Secret Order in hand again, the constant, inescapable surveillance lessened considerably.

Also, it won't automatically fall into terrifying illusions, and it will stop talking in its sleep.

She moved the Taotie sign to the evil spirits again, and after a while, the same scene played out.

However, the Fear of the Cold Abyss seemed to know its situation better and hid in a corner of the sealed space.

interesting!

If all the Mystery Tokens were turned into Gluttonous Tokens, it would solve a lot of trouble for hunters.

Su Ninglong carefully combined the Secret Master's Token and the Gluttonous Token. The Secret Master's Token tended to merge into the Gluttonous Token, proving that the two belonged to the same thing.

This piece of junk was originally used to seal the secret spirit; no wonder I couldn't figure out what it was in my past life.

Since there are no secret spirits in the cultivation world, there is naturally no need for the Taotie token.

But just as they were about to merge, a sudden change occurred. The phantom of the Taotie rushed out from the Taotie sign and slashed the Secret Token with its claw.

The two signs snapped apart.

Su Ninglong: "..."

Well, it won't be easy for the Mystic to recreate it.

It will take considerable effort to integrate the internal structural runes while simultaneously fusing them with the ferocious beast Taotie, allowing them to coexist harmoniously.

The Guardian has the authority to distribute the Secret Orders, so Su Ninglong bypassed the Star Alliance as an intermediary and went directly to Qi Shen.

[Su]: I want to apply for a Secret Agent Token for modification. What is the procedure?

[Qi Shen]: You have another fun idea?

[Su]: Stop overthinking, it's not fun. Success will only lighten your burden a bit.

[Qi Shen]: I need to know what you're planning to do.

Su Ninglong sent two pictures to Qi Shen.

[Qi Shen]: ? ? ?

[Qi Shen]: It is said that you can summon divine beasts. Are they divine beasts that you have summoned before?

[Su]: No, this is a ferocious beast, something I can't control, and neither can you.

Qi Shen didn't say anything stupid like "No man is incapable," he just asked what the point would be after they succeeded.

[Su]: It can absorb the negative energy of the secret cultivators, but the side effect is that it can no longer be combined. It might not succeed because I'm lacking something.

What she lacks is the Demonic Pill, the most crucial element, and she needs to refine something to replace it.

It can no longer be fused, making it perfect for low-star hunters.

Qi Shen thought this was feasible. "Use it as you please. I'll handle the Guardians; no one will dare to interfere in front of me."

Su Ninglong found it amusing, feeling relieved but also thinking that Qi Shen was being hypocritical.

That's true, he's strong and he has his reasons; in the world of spirits, the strong have always been respected.

[Su]: Then I'll do whatever I want. I'll come and get the Executioner's Token when I have time, and return it to you first.

[Qi Shen]: Hmm, you may step down.

Su Ninglong felt like she had lost again!

She calmly and methodically developed the device and conducted repeated experiments. Indeed, the ominous aura was completely eradicated. She then returned the Secret Agent Token to Qi Shen, who would submit it to Intelligent Calculation One to test whether the Secret Spirit could be smoothly extracted.

……

Three days before the departure date for the ruins, Su Ninglong attended another meeting.

At the meeting, Su Ninglong used the Key of Prophecy to perform a "prophecy" in front of everyone.

What she wanted to "predict" was very simple: "We need to find your other parts and see where we can get the most."

Funi, Assistant Sun, and even Yuan Dusen all believed that the Prophecy Key, which branched out from the Bronze Gate, could lead them to a previously unknown part of history during the darkest hour.

This prophecy points to Sally's home planet as the key to its prophecy.

Sally was overjoyed; she was also part of the entourage and would have three days to rest after arriving in her hometown.

She had plenty of time to visit the priestess and other members of her clan.

She didn't like her tribesmen very much before, and while she was respectful to the priest, she wasn't very affectionate.

But that's my hometown, and there's always a spiritual place there for me.

Or perhaps it's a case of "familiarity breeds contempt," because every now and then, she would have the urge to go back and visit.

The Greenscale people living on Gemini also asked her to bring back local specialties and items.

Sally was in a dilemma. Although she had a spatial ring, none of the villagers knew about it!

She accepted them all and then handed them over to the courier service, leaving them at the space station on her home planet, to be picked up when she landed.

Of course, her family had no idea what she was doing behind the scenes.

I thought she was a very filial daughter because she worked so hard and was willing to bring so many things back with her.

Moved by her filial piety, Sally's parents and extended family members kept praising her in the village group, which brought her reputation in the family to a new level!
Sally is no longer the Sally who can bring wealth to her family; she is now just a high-level person one level below the priest.

Before setting off, Qi Shen passed the tested Secret Agent Token to Su Ninglong.

Su Ninglong bid farewell to Zou Shuyi and Xingyuan, then solemnly handed Xingyuan a wooden box, saying, "Give these to Principal Yan, and Principal Yan will know what to do."

To modify the Secret Agent Token on a large scale, approval is required.

It would be more appropriate for Principal Yan to handle this matter, as it would be best to take advantage of the current climate of fear and insecurity within the management of the Star Alliance.

Low-level hunters can improve their strength by spending more time in contaminated areas.

As the group becomes more successful, she will naturally be able to step back from the spotlight.

Like Yun Fei, he is no longer the model worker he was six years ago. He can still occasionally go fishing with Zhao Piku and happily play chess with Xuan Min, that terrible chess player.

Life is only a few hundred years long. Some people live only one-fifth of their lives before they can enjoy a semi-retired life.

Su Ninglong felt a pang of envy, then turned her thoughts to her own lifespan.

Compared to a spiritual practitioner like Yun Fei, one-fifth of one's own age is roughly equivalent to someone else's entire life.

It suddenly feels like such a long time!
On the other hand, if she works hard enough, she can retire even sooner.

Principal Yan opened the wooden box half a day after Su Ninglong left, and the contents looked familiar.

There was a piece of paper at the bottom of the wooden box. Principal Yan unfolded it and read the contents.

He was thinking of shaving off his beard so that people could see the face underneath, a face that was practically bursting with joy.

He patted Ollie on the head and said, "Oli, the foundation for the future of the Star Alliance is now solid. We can finally rest easy."

Ollie didn't understand what good thing was happening, but the petting from its owner felt very comfortable, and it snored contentedly.

One wants to quickly become a hands-off manager, while the other hopes that the "hands-off manager" will take responsibility and lead the spiritual practitioners to a brighter future.

Actually, they all lead to the same goal through different paths!

Su Ninglong, who was sitting on the starship, sneezed loudly. Song Hu, who was sitting opposite her, handed her a tissue. The current seat reminded her of the scene when she returned from the contaminated area of ​​the Gathering Throat.

However, their respective positions within the alliance have changed significantly; these individuals are now positioned at the very front of the starship seats.

Tong Zi and Yun Fei were also in other seats in the same row, along with two other four-star hunters from the Star Alliance.

I don't know where they found them; their faces are completely unfamiliar.

I heard that in Blood Sun, besides the Viper, a four-star hunter was also lost.

The Star Alliance doesn't have any extra four-star hunters left, so they're probably picking from wild spirits.

With Qian Rujin and Poisonous Snake absent, the Star Alliance forcefully replaced them with these two.

There are so many shameless and outrageous actions that even Star Alliance is taking it all in stride.

Lian Xinyi, Sally, and Charlie were in the second and third rows, and further back were the younger generation of the Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance was clearly the most respected entity, and the younger generation of the Star Alliance did not object to the arrangement; if they did, they had to keep it to themselves.

They had personally witnessed Su Ninglong taking on their entire group single-handedly.

Once the privileged students realize the gap between themselves and academic geniuses, they will calm down and accept the situation.

Without a "leader" to take the lead in causing trouble, the younger generation will only look to the most powerful one.

Su Ninglong, a thirteen-year-old four-star hunter, is the first of its kind in history.

She demands that everyone behave themselves, so they have to "willingly" and obediently stay put.

When the Star Alliance isn't causing trouble, they're actually quite pleasing to the eye.

The hunters here who are able to participate in frontline combat are all somewhat skilled.

Arrogance is inevitable, but most people know to restrain themselves in front of Su Ninglong, and they actually get along quite well.

Two unfamiliar four-star hunters exuded a chilling aura rarely seen among Star Alliance hunters. Tong Zi and Yun Fei approached them amicably to chat and learn about their origins.

The two introduced themselves as hunters from other star systems.

Having served in the military and later worked as mercenaries, they were invited to join the Star Alliance at a high price. Feeling it was time for them to settle down, they came.

Who knows? Peaceful my foot!

The first mission after joining the Star Alliance was to enter the ruins.

Unfortunately, their contract included a clause to train the next generation of Star Alliance Academy members. They were four-star hunters, and only five-star hunters were one level above them.

Those below four stars are all juniors, aren't they?

The contract had been shown to the lawyer, and they thought it was foolproof. The problem was that they didn't expect the Star Alliance to accept the Star Radiance Alliance's unreasonable demands.

The two of them certainly didn't complain about these things in front of Tong Zi and Yun Fei, but when they talked about the internal management of the Star Alliance, their emotions couldn't help but become a little irritable.

Tong Zi and Yun Fei exchanged glances, wondering to themselves, "The Star Alliance doesn't want to lose any more of its own people, but surely they don't have to send outsiders to explore the ruins?"

Don't they place great importance on the key to prophecy?
Can he act?
Tong Zi and Yun Fei could only try to probe slowly.

The atmosphere was much more harmonious around Su Ninglong; she was surrounded by people she knew.

Two hours of flight time remained before the next starship jump point, and many people, whether we had met before or not, came to say hello.

Their words were full of admiration for Su Ninglong's weapon crafting skills, praising her for pioneering a new path in the world of spirit practitioners. Hunters are not usually good at flattery, so their words were all stiff and unnatural.

Su Ninglong replied with a smile, "I'll need your continued support in the future. Sacred artifacts are made to be used by hunters. Without you, no matter how good my skills are, no one will appreciate them."

He praised the hunter and elevated himself at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Being forced to greet them by their assistants made me feel much better, since the assistants are responsible for their daily lives and know a thing or two about their financial situation.

It's almost finished, and I'm really struggling with this. I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with daily updates. Just so you know, if there's a sudden break of one or two days, it's because the author hasn't finished writing and can't update anymore.
