Is it wrong to want to marry a weapon?

It's just a pity that her natal spiritual weapon, the Innate Emperor Bi Hua Jie, was lost forever.

Lu Chan remained silent for a moment, then looked at Nan He.

But at that moment, Miss Nanhe stood there blankly for some reason.

A few seconds later, she said in a panic, "Lu Chan, Lu Chan, what should I do?! I just received a notification! It said it wants to eat the remnant iron of a top-grade spiritual weapon. If I can't get it within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will die!"

"Oh no, could I have been possessed by some evil force!?"

“It’s alright, just do as it says,” Lu Chan explained softly. “The owner who created this pattern was once cursed by a very evil artifact. She simply used this method… to distribute her curse to weapon refiners all over the world in order to lessen her curse.”

"As long as you complete her tasks on time, you will receive her blessings, and there will be no danger to your life."

"Is that so?"

Nanhe tilted her head.

She's pretty oblivious; if Lu Chan says everything's fine, then it must really be fine, right?

She quickly got into character, and with a smile, she walked up to the half-dead Di Ting You Ming and Ban Yue Duan Lu, and said softly, "Excuse me, could you two contribute some of your remaining iron to me?"

"I do!!"

With a forced, obsequious smile, Di Ting You Ming said in a trembling voice, "As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything you ask, even eat shit!"

Before she could finish speaking, a loud "BOOM!!!" was heard, and a blue gust of wind arrived in an instant, slicing her already shattered body in two.

The jade-colored sun disc traced an elegant arc before returning to Lu Chan's hand.

[Listening to the Netherworld, Defeated]

"!!!"

Under the horrified gaze of the severed crescent-shaped skull, Lu Chan said as if nothing had happened, "Isn't this enough? Nan He, you don't need to seek the opinion of a dead person."

The deputy master of the Dark Moon Tower was merely adding fuel to the fire.

However, Di Ting You Ming was the real culprit who severely injured Yu Dao Mi Yin back then. Now, she has chosen to use Yu Dao Mi Yin to sever Di Ting You Ming, which can be considered as a complete resolution to that grudge from back then.

Seeing Princess Zijing's ruthless and murderous demeanor, Half-Moon Skull nearly collapsed and begged for mercy, "Please, spare my life!"

"Back then, I only joined in the bandwagon and ostracized Yu Dao Miyin; I didn't actually frame her! This time, I'm here to help after receiving payment from them."

"Don't kill me, I'll give you anything!!"

Upon hearing Half-Moon's Head's plea for mercy, Miss Nanhe immediately drew her somewhat damaged umbrella sword and stepped forward, intending to cut it down with a single blow.

"Wait, Nanhe, what are you doing?"

Nanhe stopped and asked, puzzled, "Didn't you just say that we don't need to ask a dead person for their opinion? Are we going to keep her alive?"

"..."

Lu Chan sighed and rubbed his forehead, saying speechlessly, "I killed Di Ting You Ming because I had some grudges with her. You didn't have to be so cruel. Just maintain your persona as a water-type weapon refiner!"

Thinking back to when I first met Nanhe...

She actually cried and whined because she couldn't buy a small pet.

Honestly, I have no idea who raised her to be like this!

Lu Chan thought for a moment, then chuckled softly under the distraught gaze of the half-moon-shaped severed skull: "If you want to live, become a spirit embryo. A friend of mine asked me to take care of her younger sister. That girl's name is Qi Lele, and she will be your next master."

“I understand…” The crescent-shaped skull transformed into a black crescent-shaped spiritual embryo almost without hesitation.

It was once the guardian artifact of the Eight Underworld Kings' curfew area.

She has ended up in such a miserable state.

There's nothing we can do; Princess Zijing is just that monstrous! In her eyes, Princess Zijing is even stronger than the top-tier super-level weapon refiners in the Holy Land!!

However, at present, she is merely a high-level weapon refiner...

"..."

After cleaning up the scene, Lu Chan and his companion, carrying the remnants of the Listening to the Netherworld and the spirit embryo of the Half-Moon Skull, headed into the depths of the maze.

The cultivation room of the Peach Sword Pavilion in March was created by drawing upon the spiritual energy of the luminous pearl.

The spiritual energy inside the Tower of the Night-Shining Pearl is much more abundant than that outside. The opening of the Dragon Palace is not far off, so right now we need to find a safe place to cultivate in seclusion.

The two quickly found a hidden corner in the maze.

They sat down cross-legged.

Before going into seclusion, Lu Chan suddenly asked with some curiosity, "By the way, before Xiao Hanye came, did he say that he would meet us on the fifth floor?"

"She must have left before us, right?"

"Yes... we haven't seen her yet. Could she be dead?" Miss Nanhe wondered, somewhat puzzled.

Unbeknownst to them, shortly after the two entered seclusion...

----------

----------

The Luminous Pearl, Core Area:

A petite girl with long, dark green curly hair darted swiftly through the jade-green forest;

Her body transformed into a green bolt of lightning, traveling hundreds of meters in just a few seconds.

Xiao Hanye murmured to himself, "I heard that every year when the Night Pearl Tower opens, all five guardian artifacts of the Night Pearl will go to the Night Pearl Tower. Right now, their palaces should be empty, right?"

"The Holy Land Grand Competition clearly shows that my strength is far from sufficient..."

"Among the five guardian artifacts of the Night-Shining Pearl is a lightning-type katana called 'Myriad-Volume Rainbow Moon'! If I could obtain her collection, my strength would likely increase dramatically."

Xiao Hanye became more and more excited as he thought about it. Even if he had to plunder Wan Fucaiyue's collection before heading to the Tower of Night-Shining Pearls, it wouldn't be too late.

A few months later, if she simply pretends that she just left the Tower of the Night-Shining Pearl, who would know that Wan Fu Caiyue's treasure was stolen by her?

Several years ago, Xiao Hanye and Lu Chan plundered the palace of Di Ting Youming.

She's become addicted to this feeling!

Before long, a magnificent and enormous palace appeared before her eyes, with a sign made of colorful thunder patterns on the palace's plaque.

This is clearly the place marked on the map where Wanfu Caiyue lives.

Xiao Hanye concealed his spiritual energy and quietly went inside.

After one stick of incense...

A magical girl with glossy blue curly hair, wearing an expensive modern dress and carrying a handbag, suddenly descended from the sky.

She returned to the palace dejectedly, sighing softly, "Those guys in the Ninth District are really stingy. I even sold my spot on the sixth floor of the Tower of Night-Shining Pearls and only got that little bit of money. It's not nearly enough to live on at all... This world, they won't even give face to the guardian of the magical artifact?"

"Ugh!!!! This is so annoying!!!"

The girl returned to the palace, complaining.

But... as soon as she entered her palace, she saw a girl with long green hair staring blankly at her palace.

"What the hell?"

Xiao Hanye's expression was slightly incredulous. To his surprise, there wasn't a single spiritual technique or remnant of iron in Wan Fu Caiyue's palace.

Instead, it was filled with expensive luxury goods and all kinds of jewelry.

This doesn't resemble a palace of a top-grade spiritual artifact at all; it's more like the palace of a princess or young lady from a human kingdom.

This is too outrageous! !

Does she not practice cultivation at all normally?

Soon, Xiao Hanye heard footsteps behind her. She turned around warily and stared at the girl with the magical artifact.

The most outrageous thing is...

Wan Fucaiyue didn't seem to react much. Suddenly, she took out a small notebook and started writing:

"You were introduced here, right? You've come at the right time. Let me tell you the prices first... First of all, a one-centimeter piece of scrap iron costs one billion Northern Saint Coins, a two-centimeter piece costs three billion Northern Saint Coins, and a three-centimeter piece costs ten billion Northern Saint Coins."

"We don't want spirit embryos; you can only buy them with money!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hanye was completely bewildered. She asked blankly, "What are you talking about? You are... Wan Fucaiyue, right?"

"Ok?"

Wan Fucai tilted her head slightly and asked in return, "Didn't you come here to buy my scrap iron?"

"If you need, you can even say you beat him up from my body."

"Tell me... you went through so much trouble to break off a piece of iron from the guardian artifact of the Night-Shining Pearl, the Myriad-Volume Rainbow Moon. In your world of weapon refiners, that should be worth a lot of cultivation resources, right?"

"Of course, I won't expose you. That's how my previous customers always did business with me."

When Lu Chan first reforged the Heavenly Dance Wheel, he used a small piece of scrap iron from the Ten Thousand Volts Rainbow Moon.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hanye fell silent.

It can be said that human currency and the spiritual embryos used in weapon crafting are not actually interchangeable.

Once you reach the Super Grade level, you can no longer buy with currency, and it's impossible to set a price. Most of the time, it's done through bartering. So... is Wan Fu Caiyue trying to get ordinary currency, even at the cost of selling her scrap iron?!

Xiao Hanye said, somewhat stunned, "You need so much money, not just to buy these bags, right?"

"Of course!"

Wan Fucaiyue explained confidently, "Recently, those big brands have released a lot of beautiful winter limited editions, they're absolutely amazing!! Why do you humans have to make luxury goods so beautiful!?"

"To complete my collection of all the designer brands, I would have to sell one or two scrap metal pieces every year!"

"Unfortunately, if I buy too many bags, I won't have money to buy clothes and jewelry, so I even sold my spot on the sixth floor of the Tower of the Night Pearl."

Wan Fucai asked with a hint of anticipation, "Anyway, you've come at the right time. Quickly decide how much scrap iron you want to buy?"

"..."

"Was that little bag you're carrying bought from Duan Tian City?" Xiao Hanye suddenly asked.

"Huh? You actually recognized it?" Wan Fucai twirled the bag a few times, saying with some regret, "I bought it from the Xiao Family Jewelry flagship store in Duantian City. It's a pity that the limited edition gold one is sold out. It's all my fault for spending so much time disguising myself as a human..."

"Shall I take you to buy it?"

"what?"

Xiao Hanye suddenly said kindly, "That Xiao's Jewelry you mentioned earlier is a business owned by my family... Although I haven't been home for a long time, if I go back, I should be able to get you another limited edition spot, right?"

"Really!?" Wan Fucaiyue suddenly ran up to Xiao Hanye and shook his hand a few times, like a little girl who had never seen the world before.

She said ingratiatingly, "Quick, quick, let's go, young lady!!!"

Three months have passed since the Holy Land Grand Tournament ended.

Over the past few months, the nine holy lands of the Northern Sacred Continent have fallen into silence, once again escaping the sight of the secular world.

Several star players from the Holy Land have also entered the core area of ​​the Night Pearl and headed to the Night Pearl Tower to make final preparations for entering the Dragon Palace.

The top-tier weapon refiners of the nine holy lands all know this.

When the gates of the Dragon Palace open this time, the landscape of the Northern Sacred Continent will undergo earth-shattering changes.

That's because the Northern Sacred Continent, which has been isolated from the Dragon Palace and the Southern Heavenly Gate for fifteen years, may very well see the light of day again!

In these fifteen years...

The Northern Sacred State has also given rise to more and more super-level weapon refiners from an obscure little state. And those who possess the Dragon Palace will undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the alliance of the surrounding major states!

[The countdown to the Dragon Palace opening again is in three days!!]
