"Chun Niang, I haven't heard from you for a long time. Do you want to refine weapons? Then you have found the right person to find me. Although I am only a registered disciple, my senior brothers and sisters still take good care of me."
After learning that Xu Chunniang was at the main peak, Huo Chunyan asked her to wait where she was, saying she would arrive soon.
Not long after, Huo Chunyan came over, but she looked a little strange, looking around as if she was hiding from someone.
After the round with Xu Chunniang, Huo Chunyan jumped onto the flying sword and then urged her to follow with her sword.
"Hurry up and walk away. If you are discovered later, you won't be able to leave."
Xu Chunniang couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you have done something shameful?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just skipped a class."
Then Huo Chunyan vomited her bitterness.
"Our peak master is really... strict in enforcing the law. He requires all disciples of Qi Peak to attend the courses designated by him. Some lecturers are okay and explain the art of weapon refining in a lively and interesting way, but some are... hard to explain in one sentence.
I might as well read the book myself."
Huo Chunyan gave her a "you know" look and sighed.
"Obviously, my master didn't ask for anything, but Peak Master Pian did this and still had to go to the class. I was upset just now, and the senior brother who was in class happened to be away, so I ran away after receiving your message."
Xu Chunniang suddenly understood, no wonder Huo Chunyan looked like that just now, Ganqing was really hiding from people.
"Wouldn't it be bad if you skipped class like this?"
"It doesn't matter, it's not the first time anyway, as long as you don't get caught on the spot."
Huo Chunyan disagreed, "Stop talking about this, let's talk about your weapon refining."
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and roughly stated her thoughts.
Hearing that she wanted to upgrade the spiritual weapon at hand, Huo Chunyan nodded with approval.
"This saves the need for running in with new spiritual weapons. The spiritual weapon I am using now is the same one I have been using before.
Just upgrading a spiritual weapon is expensive, especially if you don't even have the raw materials. The total cost of zero and zero added up is almost the same as buying a new spiritual weapon."
The two of them were chatting while heading towards Qi Peak, and half an hour later they successfully entered the range of Qi Peak.
On the way, Huo Chunyan had already sent messages to several senior brothers and sisters. One of the senior sisters happened to be free and was willing to help.
On the way to the senior sister's cave, Xu Chunniang hesitated and asked her doubts.
"Among the spiritual weapons I just showed you, the big blue cauldron is called the Qingwen Ding. It was made by Du Nanke, the tool peak. Will it have any impact if it is made by someone else?"
"Dunanke's reputation as a weapon refiner is true, but in fact, there are countless people in the weapon peak who are better than him in weapon refinement, and this is the case for my senior sister.
You told me just now that the Blue Pattern Cauldron was reduced to a first-level spiritual weapon after Du Nanke failed to refine it. Isn't this embarrassing for you to have someone upgrade the failed product to a higher level?"
When Xu Chunniang heard this, she suddenly felt that it made sense. Just like the strongest formations are always only in Qianji Peak, and the best elixirs are only in Dan Peak, what can be spread out is not the best.
Huo Chunyan led the way while giving careful instructions.
"My senior sister's surname is Gan. Just follow me and call her Senior Sister Gan later. Senior Sister Gan is just over a hundred years old and has entered the late stage of foundation building. Her weapon refining skills are among the best among all the senior brothers and sisters."
Xu Chunniang nodded cautiously. She took action on her own, leaving aside whether she could ask Senior Sister Gan to help her. She remembered Huo Chunyan's favor to help her.
The two of them landed in front of a cave, and Huo Chunyan took out a transmission note and said something.
Not long after, a woman in a goose-yellow dress with a cool yet beautiful face walked out of the cave.
Huo Chunyan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Senior Sister Gan, this is the friend I told you about. She wants to entrust you to help refine the weapon and improve the grade of the spiritual weapon."
Senior Sister Gan glanced at Xu Chunniang and said, "Show me the spiritual weapon first."
Xu Chunniang quickly handed over the spiritual weapons that she had prepared, "Hello, Senior Sister Gan, there are three spiritual weapons in total."
Senior Sister Gan glanced at the blue-patterned cauldron, the white-stemmed spear and the small buckler, and took out the somewhat damaged small buckler with a slight sigh.
"This spiritual weapon was previously a second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon, but it suffered several heavy losses and fell down the grade."
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised. When she got the small buckler, she knew that it had fallen down the grade due to damage. She originally thought that it was only a second-grade inferior grade at most, but she never thought that it was actually a second-grade top grade.
For spiritual weapons of the same level, there is not even a slight difference between low-grade and top-grade ones.
She looked at Senior Sister Gan with some eagerness, "Then can it be restored to the way it was before?"
Senior Sister Gan shook her head, "The damage is too serious. It is almost impossible to completely restore it to its previous level."
Xu Chunniang secretly thought it was a pity, then she heard Senior Sister Gan change her subject.
"Although it can't be restored to the second-grade top grade, it is not difficult to upgrade it to the second-grade mid-grade."
The second-level mid-level product was pretty good, and Xu Chunniang felt a little comforted.
Senior Sister Gan put away the small round shield and her eyes fell on the blue pattern cauldron, her eyes half smiling but not smiling.
"This weapon refining method reminds me of a junior brother."
Huo Chunyan couldn't help rolling her eyes and interjected.
"Didn't it come from the hands of that Du Nanke, 'Master Du'? By luck, he refined a second-grade top-grade spiritual weapon, and then he flaunted himself as the genius weapon refiner master of Qi Peak every day. It's really embarrassing for Qi Peak."
Senior Sister Gan had a smile in her eyes and shook her head.
"Chunyan, don't talk about others behind the scenes. The actions of others will be taken care of by heaven and reincarnation. Just take care of yourself."
Huo Chunyan nodded, "I know, I just said it casually."
Only then did Xu Chunniang realize that this so-called master of weapon refining didn't have a very good reputation in Qifeng Peak.
It seems that some things are misguided.
Senior Sister Gan ignored Huo Chunyan and kept looking around the blue-patterned cauldron. She scanned it back and forth several times before speaking slowly.
"The material of this blue pattern cauldron is not bad, but the forging technique of the junior brother is still a little bit worse, which is why it has not become a second-level spiritual weapon. It is the easiest to improve its grade. Only the specific improvement can be achieved
To what extent, I can only say that I will do my best.”
Xu Chunniang cupped her fists and saluted, "I'm very grateful that Senior Sister Gan is willing to take action, but please just go ahead and do it. No matter what the outcome is, I'll accept it."
Senior Sister Gan nodded with satisfaction. The person that Junior Sister Huo brought here is quite an understanding person.
After putting away the blue-patterned cauldron, she finally looked at the white-barred gun, lifted it up and weighed it a few times.
"This white-steel gun is pretty good, but it's not overly aggressive and has no weaknesses. Could it be that the sect gave it to you?"
