Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Chapter 98 The First Magical Artifact, The First Spark

Mu Xiaoyu vowed that from this day forward, she would respect her intuition.

Enveloped in a bright red flame, Mu Xiaoyu made a solemn vow in her heart.

While learning the Three Yang Spirit Fire Technique, she inexplicably suspected that her senior brother would trick her, and that refining the fire seed would be extremely painful.

But since she had already agreed and the other party had already given her the technique, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't go back on her word halfway through.

In the end, this was just her baseless suspicion; she had no evidence whatsoever.

So she hesitated for only a moment before putting the idea out of her mind.

Until she learned the incantation and sat down cross-legged, a tiny flame, like a lamp wick, ignited at the fingertips of Master Yan Yu.

The flame of this Three Yang Spiritual Fire is really small. If you add more oil to an oil lamp, the flame will be much bigger.

But the moment the wisp of fire entered her body, Mu Xiaoyu, who had already gotten used to the burning pain of the Blood Refining Pivot, was immediately in so much pain that she couldn't speak.

She swallowed the fire. She didn't feel anything when it first entered her mouth, but the moment it fell down her throat, she felt a scorching heat spread out wherever it passed.

The intense heat felt as if it could burn her entire body, inside and out, including her internal organs, into charcoal.

She tried to use her magic to resist the burning pain, but even the magic of the Qingxuan True Scripture felt like it was being "burned".

Actually, if her internal organs were truly burned, she wouldn't be in so much pain, because the burned parts wouldn't feel pain.

However, Shangguan Ling'er had already protected her internal organs, meridians, and dantian with a powerful water-based magic.

She controlled her magic with exquisite skill.

It wouldn't burn Mu Xiaoyu's body if there was too little, nor would it damage the fire if there was too much.

The price of not accidentally damaging the spark was that she could only just protect Mu Xiaoyu from injury, and could not go any further to reduce her burning pain.

Otherwise, if the water element is too strong in her body, it will suppress or even damage the fire element.

The fire seed resided in her dantian, continuously releasing heat into the surrounding meridians and internal organs. Mu Xiaoyu could only grit her teeth and circulate her magical power, attempting to refine it using the corresponding incantation.

A wisp of Yan Yu Zhenren's magical power was guided within Mu Xiaoyu's body.

In order to ensure that Mu Xiaoyu could use the fire seed as easily as she was handling it, she could not overstep her bounds and use her own magic to refine it for her.

However, she could use her own magic to guide and instruct Mu Xiaoyu's magic, enabling her, who had never had any experience in refining fire seeds, to refine them in a skillful and experienced manner.

This not only makes the refining process more efficient, but also makes it easier to use after refining.

However, Mu Xiaoyu's current magical power is still somewhat insufficient. Even with the guidance of True Person Yan Yu, the magical power consumption for refining the fire seed is too great for her.

If she continues to exhaust herself like this, she will not be able to hold on for long.

Therefore, Li Yinsheng would continuously transfer his magic power to Mu Xiaoyu to help her recover her magic power and continue refining it.

Although he had already transformed his Qingxuan True Scripture into the Six Liberations of Withering and Flourishing, he still had three hundred years of cultivation experience, and the Qingxuan True Scripture was much simpler than the Six Liberations of Withering and Flourishing.

He knew his junior sister's Qingxuan True Scripture operation like the back of his hand, and even with the power of the Six Resolves of Wither and Glory, he could still help her recover.

Moreover, his junior sister's cultivation level was low, so he could only slowly and continuously transfer very little magic power into her.

Therefore, there was even time to first transform the power of the Six Rejuvenations of Withering and Flourishing into a state more suitable for the restoration of the Pure Mystery True Scripture before transferring it in.

Thanks to her senior brother's help, Mu Xiaoyu, who could only last for a quarter of an hour at most, was able to refine the fire seed for two hours without stopping, supported by a continuous stream of magical power.

Although the process was not easy, with her perseverance and the help of the three seniors, Mu Xiaoyu finally managed to completely refine the fire seed.

The bright red flames that had been rising around her suddenly dissipated, revealing Mu Xiaoyu's blank and dazed eyes.

The next moment, she fell backward, her whole body spread out in a "T" shape.

Sweat poured out of her body in a rush, and in just a dozen breaths, her entire Taoist robe and hair were soaked through, making her look as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

"Master—Senior Brother—"

Mu Xiaoyu, lying on the ground, gently bit her molars and looked at Li Yinsheng.

She swore that if she weren't completely exhausted, she would pounce on her senior brother right now and bite him a hundred times!

Unfortunately, she no longer has the strength to even grit her teeth.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

Feeling the warmth spreading from her dantian, Mu Xiaoyu felt slightly relieved.

At least she didn't suffer in vain. She could feel that the fire seed in her body had turned into a flame. Although it was only burning quietly, it would definitely be able to unleash tremendous power if she activated it with her magic.

Her current Yin-Yang Dividing Light Sword only has thirty-one sword lights. Under these circumstances, the power of the Xuan Sha Fierce Appearance Sword should be much lower than that of the Three Yang Spirit Fire.

I wonder if the Xuan Sha Fierce Appearance Sword will advance further after the thirty-two sword lights, and become even more powerful.

On the bright side, although it hurts a lot, it's worth it to gain the Three Yang Spiritual Fire.

Mu Xiaoyu comforted herself in this way.

Moreover, you only need to experience the pain once. After that, you can cultivate the Three Yang Spiritual Fire on your own, although it will be slow, but you won't experience the pain again.

"The little girl is exhausted," Shangguan Ling'er said, lifting Mu Xiaoyu up with her magic. She looked at Li Yinsheng and said, "It's getting late. I'll give her a bath and let her sleep first. We'll test the power of this spiritual fire tomorrow."

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Shangguan." Li Yinsheng nodded.

With her last strength, Mu Xiaoyu, who had been lifted up, looked at Li Yinsheng and spoke in a weak but expectant voice.

"Senior brother—you also—want to refine—the fire seed—?"

What she really wanted to ask was, "Do you want to experience this burning pain again later?"

As long as Li Yinsheng nodded, she would stay even if she had to throw a tantrum, just to watch her senior brother finish refining the essence before going back to take a bath.

This is my way of showing concern for you, my senior, as your junior sister!

Li Yinsheng shook his head: "I've already given you the last spark, junior sister."

"Therefore, I will cultivate a Three Yang Spiritual Fire within my body according to the method, and use this method to enter the path."

After Li Yinsheng finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu peacefully closed her eyes and was asked by Shangguan Ling'er to take a bath.

The next morning, in Mu Xiaoyu's courtyard.

The female steward who had previously taught her stood in the corner, while Li Yinsheng, Shangguan Ling'er, and Yan Yu Zhenren stood in front of Mu Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu had fully recovered.

Actually, she wasn't injured or exhausted her magic power last night. Until the very end, Li Yinsheng was helping her recover her magic power. Her exhaustion was mainly due to the great mental strain from refining the fire seed.

So after just one night of rest, she was fully recovered.

After recovering, she thought about it for a long time and finally gave up the idea of ​​biting Li Yinsheng.

The main reason is that her senior brother told her that he was cultivating his body as a supplementary form.

She also remembered her senior brother saying that he would find an opportunity to collect some body-refining herbs so that she could also cultivate her body and become more beautiful.

Now that only her senior brother is practicing body cultivation, she's afraid that not only will she be unable to bite him, but she'll also hurt her own teeth.

-

So she made a mental note of this debt.

Once she has mastered body cultivation, she will definitely bite her senior brother hard!

Hmm—but don't be too ruthless, just a moderate amount is fine. Let your senior brother feel the pain too, but don't let him get hurt.

Mu Xiaoyu had a secret, long-term goal in mind.

"Junior sister," Li Yinsheng said.

Mu Xiaoyu shuddered involuntarily.

"Let's try the Three Yang Spirit Fire," Li Yinsheng said, pointing to a row of ores in front of him.

Most of the items inside were teaching aids used by the female butler to teach her how to refine and purify materials, but there were also a few of higher quality ones that she could never have refined before.

Under the guidance of Master Yan Yu, Mu Xiaoyu first took a piece of ore that had been refined before.

The ore was only the size of a fist, but it took her almost an hour to refine it before she could extract a usable piece the size of a thumb.

Mu Xiaoyu made a hand seal, and a ball of bright red flame shot out from her mouth, enveloping the ore.

The ore was refined at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning completely into liquid in just a few breaths.

"Alright, alright, restrain your magic power, or you'll ruin it later," Master Yan Yu laughed. "When refining such low-level materials with the Three Yang Spiritual Fire, you need to control your strength."

Mu Xiaoyu immediately withdrew her magic power, and the firelight dimmed slightly. Then, under the guidance of Master Yanyu, she separated the materials from it.

A moment later, a small clump of indigo liquid separated out and gradually solidified into a smooth piece of metal.

It was two sizes smaller than the metal she had refined before, only about the size of a little finger, but its indigo color was much richer.

"The quality is quite good," Master Yan Yu nodded. "To achieve such results on your first attempt at refining materials with the Three Yang Spirit Fire is enough to prove your talent, young friend Mu."

"Once you get used to using the Three Yang Spiritual Fire, the refining effect will be much better."

Master Yanyu paused for a moment and then smiled, "From now on, you will follow me to learn weapon crafting."

"Once you learn how to blend different materials, solidify the magical artifact, and inscribe restrictions during the solidification process, you will be able to create your first magical artifact."

"I estimate that with your talent, plus the Three Yang Spiritual Fire and my guidance, it should only take about a month."

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, senior!"

Although refining weapons was tiring, she felt much more relaxed with the Three Yang Spiritual Fire.

Now that she hears that she can personally craft her first magical artifact within a month, she is also looking forward to it.

For the past month, Mu Xiaoyu has focused her main energy on cultivation, sword practice, and learning weapon crafting from Master Yan Yu.

In sword practice, the repaired White Rainbow Sword made it much faster for Mu Xiaoyu to practice, especially with Li Yinsheng's guidance.

Although Mu Xiaoyu only practiced swordsmanship for two hours a day for the past month, she still managed to improve to forty-two sword lights.

When she mastered the thirty-two sword lights, Li Yinsheng also received a reward of sixteen years of cultivation.

However, although the Three Yang Spiritual Fire can complete the step of condensing spiritual fire while cultivating, it is still too difficult in the end.

When he condensed the first Three Yang Spiritual Fire within his body, the seclusion of the cave was almost over.

Therefore, he didn't have much time to cultivate his own Three Yang Spiritual Fire, let alone create a seed of fire.

Fortunately, my junior sister seems to be very enthusiastic about "forging her first magical artifact" and her progress in learning from Master Yan Yu has been quite fast.

Or perhaps it was simply because she had gone through so much hardship to refine the Three Yang Spiritual Fire, and she felt that using it more would make the effort worthwhile.

In short, after a month of learning weapon crafting from Master Yan Yu, Mu Xiaoyu successfully crafted her first weapon.

Ritual implements.

When she successfully forged the weapon for the first time, Li Yinsheng and Shangguan Ling'er were both there. Mu Xiaoyu was full of excitement and rushed up to hug Li Yinsheng and Shangguan Ling'er.

The first magical artifact she crafted was a bracelet with a pure black background, but which would slowly shimmer with bright silver specks.

This is a low-grade defensive magic weapon, which is perfect for her to make up for her shortcomings when she participates in the Trial of the Blades in two months. It's quite good.

However, Li Yinsheng felt that the only flaw was that the bracelet was too big, which was not suitable for his junior sister's small wrist. Moreover, it seemed that a low-grade magic artifact did not have the ability to change size at will.

It wasn't until Mu Xiaoyu held the bracelet in one hand and grabbed his wrist with the other to compare the size, and nodded in satisfaction, that Li Yinsheng realized that the bracelet was originally for him.

He didn't stand on ceremony, patted his junior sister's head to thank her, and then put the bracelet on his wrist.

Although strictly speaking, this defensive artifact was a fragile item that needed to be handled with care, he did not refuse it in the slightest.

Moreover, he also happened to have a return gift for his junior sister.

Just as Xiaoyu forged her first magical artifact, the artifact-forging master's cultivation aspirations also reached their first milestone.

Li Yinsheng further improved his cultivation by ten years during that time.

This also marked the beginning of the first spark in his life.

Using the first spark of fire as a return gift for my junior sister's first magical artifact is simply perfect.

Li Yinsheng was very satisfied.
