In Huafengju, by the forging furnace, Zhong Ningyao laboredly manipulated the flames, refining magical artifacts.
Yu An, who constantly adds peach wood charcoal by her side, couldn't help but glance at her own senior sister.
Zhong Ningyao utilizes her qi refining cultivation to command the peach wood fire, controlling it with her mastery of qi refining techniques, which relies on the two protective spirit devices on her body.
But both spirit devices have a cool design, which is quite capable of tugging at Yu An's heartstrings.
After a long time, feeling the restriction had been completed, Zhong Ningyao shouted out.
"It's done, put out the fire!"
Yu An quickly began to stuff stones into the furnace to reduce the burning speed of peach wood charcoal.
The refining furnace was also opened under Zhong Ningyao's control, and two copper beads, the size of a fist and emitting red light, rotated inside.
Zhong Ningyao used tongs to place the two copper beads onto the stone platform, and after checking them carefully, said with a sense of relief, "Ah, at least it's alright."
"Okay, one six-level, one five-level."
"One furnace with two devices, congratulations on refining the Dao to have further advancement, senior sister!"
It was clear that Zhong Ningyao had refined two items in one furnace, but Yu An was also joyful.
Stealthily glancing at the foolish boy, Zhong Ningyao wiped away the sweat, put on his outer garment, and said.
"What advancement, just two inferior magical artifacts, one for you and one for Yu Lou."
The five-layered one is for Yu Lou, and the six-layered one is for you, as a reward for all the hard work I've done burning charcoal."
Yu An was so captivated that his head felt dizzy.
What?
Two inferior magical artifacts, purple copper beads, Senior Sister is giving the six-layered restriction to me?
Does she also like me?
Seeing that Wang Yu An didn't speak up, Zhong Ningyao waved her hand in front of him, suspiciously and cautionarily warning.
"What are you staring at? Don't you dare tell Yu Lou that your bead is a six-layered restriction. I'm afraid he'll think I'm partial to you, alright, Junior Brother Yu An?"
Watching Zhong Ningyao's white, slender, small hand, Yu An woke up like just being awakened and loudly promised.
"I understand, I understand, Senior Sister, I understand everything you've said!"
Taking the purple copper bead from Sister Ningyao, Yu An walked into the front hall.
Seeing that Yu Lou was still looking at his travel diary and leisurely fishing, he kicked Yu Lou's rocking chair and shook it heavily.
Lying there, holding the travel diary to his chest, Yu Lou glared at Yu An with a displeased look.
"What's wrong with you again?"
Showing off, Yu An picked up one of the purple copper beads and placed it in Yu Lou's hand.
"Look, a purple copper bead with a six-layered restriction, Senior Sister just refined two of them in one furnace, we each get one."
Yu Lou hesitated for a moment, and then immediately understood the key point.
"Okay, okay, let's divide the cake. The master takes a small piece and we end up with enough to drink some soup. Our unity efforts in the Wang family haven't been in vain."
Yu An leaned against the countertop and whispered to Yu Lou while complaining.
"You don't know, the diagram brought by Gao Jian is already quite shabby. But our master can still extract some purple copper from each fireworks magic artifact, which is how we managed to gather two small pieces to practice for Senior Sister Ningyao."
"But if Master's gift is only this much, will the clan head not be at a loss for bringing him to visit Zanri True Essence?"
Zhong Ningyao thought she could use the purple copper beads with a six-layered restriction to win over Yu An, who she had gone from loving secretly to loving openly.
After all, Yu Lou is clearly someone who is difficult to control, with profound thoughts and intentions.
Yu An is different, a boy recognized by the men and elders of the local area as an honest child.
But she cannot understand the education of the Wang family towards their disciples, nor can she understand the brotherhood and affection that the two have shared since childhood and their studies at Qingxiang Pavilion.
Yu An not only gave the one with a higher restriction level to Yu Lou, but also was sharp-eyed and realized that this gift was not 'heavy' enough.
Two inferior magical artifacts? What kind of good thing is that?
The spiritual beacon in Yu An's body is worth buying ten inferior magical artifacts!
"It's not a loss. The clan head won't do any business that ends up losing money."
Yu Lou picked up the travel diary and continued to read.
Suddenly, a voice from a female cultivator appeared in the sky above Qingxiang Pavilion.
"To facilitate all fellow Daoists to exchange the magical artifacts, pills, cultivation techniques, and secret passages they desire, we are holding the Qingxi Festival. The Red Lanterns Photographic Studio Branch is open to all dispersed practitioners, families, sects!"
"From today, the branch will be stationed in Qingxiang Market, and it will leave after three months!"
The voice of the female cultivator sounds very young, as if it was a girl of about 13 or 14 years old, but with great cultivation power backing her, it filled the entire Qingxiang Market.
Yu Lou was somewhat surprised to leave the Huafengju, looking up at the red flying boat Jingwu Chase.
"Bang~Bang~"
Jiang Biao Change prepared the fireworks artifacts in batches, which scattered in the sky one by one. Although it was daytime, the petals that bloomed were still very beautiful.
In the sky, the Jingwu Chase flying boat was in the center, with Huang family's Baobao Shop and the Immortal Alliance's mobile headquarters on either side, with other families, sects, and merchant guilds' flying spirit vessels scattered around.
Fireworks bloomed between them, the performance of tens of thousands of spirit stones' fireworks was indeed very beautiful.
Looking at the fading magnificent scenery, Yu An cursed.
"Fucking Jiang Biao Change!"
Tens of thousands of spirit stones!
In this way, he simply stole it away from Jiang Biao Change!
Under the resplendent sky, Yu Lou bowed his head and turned back to the Huafengju.
"Train patience! We must endure what others cannot bear in order to fulfill our family responsibilities and make progress on the path of cultivation."
The expression "brimming with spirit and vitality" only belongs to true Jin Dan Zhen Ren. Yu An, in the future, must not recklessly speak out in any occasion again!"
Big brother's advice is very reasonable, and Yu An has taken it to heart, but he still feels that the idea is not clear.
"Spit!"
Spitting phlegm in the direction of Jingwu Chase, fully expressing his anger, Yu An also returned to Huafengju.
Wait, just wait for me!
Wait for my Wang Yu An's day of becoming a celestial being, that will be your death!
The youthful temperament, Yu An still doesn't understand, even if he is just a Zi Fu, Jiang Biao Change is as pigs and dogs.
Where does it need to wait until becoming a celestial being to take revenge?
------------------
In the afternoon, Wang Xianmeng took two young men into Huang family's Baobao Shop.
Upon entering, Yu Lou instantly thought of the Diagon Alley in Harry Potter out of habit.
The narrow passageway was filled with various stores on both sides. Although there were not many people on the passageway, most of them were cultivators at the beginning of the refining stage, making it look very lively.
"This Baobao Shop is not ordinary. It has a world within, but it is not large, existing between spirit devices and treasure objects."
You can all give it a try and sense the spiritual energy here. Is it not more abundant than in our clan territory?"
Yu Lou closed his eyes and felt for a few seconds, surprised to say.
"This......is very high."
Wang Xianmeng explained with a bit of envy.
"The difference between a purple lotus cultivator family and a foundation cultivator family is like a chasm, similar Baobao Shops, the Huang family has several."
The Huang family, a giant merchant family in Wuning Daoxian, specializes in "cai" in the four treasures of cultivators: wealth, law, companion, and land.
"So, Clan Chief, has the Red Lanterns appointed someone from the Huang family as the headmaster, just as I guessed?" Yu Lou asked in a low voice.
"Ha ha ha, let's go, I'll take you to the Huang family's Forge Hall. The forge hall in Baobao Shop is much stronger than Huafengju."
The clan head was vague and did not answer Yu Lou's question.
Yu An beside him had also been observing all along, and this young man noticed something extraordinary.
The outside of that store was a beautifully carved red gatehouse with three big characters - Baili Xuan.
Under the gatehouse, there were so many men cultivators eagerly waiting, making the scene lively.
Pointing at the beautiful gatehouse, Yu An asked in a bewildered manner.
"Clan Chief, why is there such a crowd in front of that store?"
Wang Xianmeng took a quick glance at it, his mouth twitched, and he slapped Yu An on the forehead.
"Don't look around so carelessly. There are female cultivators who practice charm techniques in there, specifically targeting young men like you for their yang qi!"
