"Don't worry. I won't trick you this time."
Fairy Ziying promised earnestly. However, the more she did so, the less trustworthy Yaohua found her.
"I was wrong before. I've realized my mistake. This time, I won't let you down. How about that?"
Yaohua said cautiously, "Maybe you can use this broken knife."
"No way." Fairy Ziying flatly refused. "Back then, I sharpened the knife because there were impurities in it. Although it was a good knife, it was a pity. That's why I took the liberty to do such an unjust thing. At that time, I didn't notice the spiritual power contained in it. Even if you let me use it now, I won't be able to unleash even a bit of its power."
Yaohua thought that Fairy Ziying had noticed the spiritual power in the knife and broke it to prevent a bloodbath. She never expected it was for other reasons.
In this case, maybe what she said about sword - casting was not a lie.
"If you agree, I'll call Muyang over right away."
Yaohua hesitated.
"Before Muyang entered the ice field, he was the most powerful weapon - refining master in the Divine Continent. The swords he casts here in the ice field are more spiritual than those cast outside. Are you really not interested?"
Yaohua wavered again.
"So that's why Immortal Muyang came here?"
"He was notorious in the Divine Continent for sacrificing living people to swords. He was sent here and found that it was more suitable for weapon - refining. " Fairy Ziying betrayed Immortal Muyang completely. "Don't think that just because spiritual power can't be used here, it's a bad thing. For weapon - refining masters like him, swords cast without the interference of spiritual power are more spiritual."
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Yaohua felt like an innocent child being deceived.
Fairy Ziying promised earnestly, "I'll vouch for it with Muyang's character."
This made it even less believable.
"Why did Immortal Muyang sacrifice living people to swords?"
"I'd better not tell you about this. Let Muyang tell you himself." A hint of melancholy flashed across Fairy Ziying's eyes.
Hearing Fairy Ziying's call, Immortal Muyang immediately walked in from outside. His baby - faced was full of worry.
"Ziying, what's wrong with you again?"
"I'm so strong that I can kill two cows with my bare hands." Fairy Ziying laughed. "I want you to cast a sword for Yaohua. But I've lied to her many times. Now I'm vouching for it with your character, but Yaohua doesn't trust me anymore. So I'd like to ask you about the reason why you sacrificed living people to swords before you entered the ice field."
"It's all old history." Immortal Muyang smiled. A hint of guilt flashed across his baby - faced. "It was an accident. I was entrusted by the former divine lord to cast a sword for the crown prince. At that time, I searched the whole Divine Continent but couldn't find suitable materials that could surpass Chunjun. In desperation, I had to find another way and introduce the chaotic qi into the meteorite iron. But I didn't expect the chaotic qi to be so hard to control. It got out of control and destroyed the smelting furnace. My sword apprentice..."
Muyang choked with sobs. "I couldn't hold him back, so he fell into the furnace and was burned by the innate true fire, and was forced to be sacrificed to the sword."
It was actually such an accident.
For a moment, all three of them fell silent.
"You've been atoning for your sins here for tens of thousands of years. You've fulfilled your karmic debts. Don't take it too much to heart."
Fairy Ziying patted his back, and Muyang nestled into her arms.
A powerful, baby - faced immortal was sobbing. Yaohua resisted the urge and looked away.
"Yaohua, I'm not lying to you. Muyang's character is obvious to all. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the villagers." Mentioning the villagers, Fairy Ziying was extremely depressed. "I've been running around for them for many years, but I don't know why they only praise Muyang and speak ill of me behind my back."
Thinking of the villagers, the corners of Yaohua's lips twitched slightly.
"The spiritual power contained in the knife won't be so easy to remove."
"Don't worry. There's no sword I can't cast." When it came to sword - casting, Muyang's baby - faced glowed with excitement. "Leave it to me. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Although they were so enthusiastic, Yaohua still didn't agree, because this knife was related to an important matter.
Yaohua looked unusually solemn. "Originally, I planned to bid farewell to you all in a few days."
Fairy Ziying nodded. She wasn't surprised. "I've long known that you would leave. I just didn't expect it to be so soon. But the ice field is full of dangers. Are you really ready?"
"No matter what, I have to find the snow demon somehow."
"On the ice field, the snow demon is all - powerful. Even if you find her, you may not be able to do anything."
Yaohua hesitated. "So I hope you can help me."
"Then for now, you should stay in the village and wait for Muyang to cast a sword for you." Fairy Ziying reached out and pressed her into a chair. There was not a trace of seriousness on her face. "Your sword is already dull. If you want to leave like this, you may be dragged away and eaten by those spiritual beasts on the way."
Was it really that exaggerated?
Wasn't it said that many spiritual beasts would go into hibernation once they came to the ice field?
Wait, Fairy Ziying's attitude... Did she agree to help me?
Yaohua's eyes lit up. "Then I'll trouble you two immortals."
Fairy Ziying snorted. "After all, you're the descendant of a general. It's nothing for us to help you."
Sword - casting required a lot of materials. The broken knife was just a part of them. The remaining materials needed to be searched for everywhere.
However, it wasn't easy to find good materials on the ice field. For this reason, Immortal Muyang made a lot of explosives and planned to go thousands of miles away to get the ice crystal jade marrow.
When Yaohua heard this news, she was teaching the villagers how to build straw huts.
Building the wall in the village before was out of desperation. It was not only the villagers who were reluctant to abandon the village and flee, but Yaohua herself was also very heart - broken. The house that Fairy Ziying built on the ridge of the field was built by her and the Egret brothers bit by bit, which cost them a lot of effort.
Although the straw huts were not very strong, they were easy to build and were quickly completed.
By this time, Immortal Muyang had already set off. There were no mounts here, only the wooden pedaled cart that Immortal Xianyun made for his own convenience. Yaohua rushed all the way and finally found Immortal Muyang before nightfall.
However, when Immortal Muyang was doing something serious, he was so stubborn that even nine oxen couldn't pull him back. Yaohua had no choice but to go with him.
This sword was being cast for her. She couldn't just stand by and watch Immortal Muyang take risks.
Muyang used his self - made device to detect the ore. After an unknown amount of time, the device finally made a buzzing sound.
"Found it!"
This was a mountain ridge. To get the ore, the explosives would surely trigger an avalanche.
Yaohua looked up at the terrain. There was a col where they could take shelter.
"Yaohua, can you shoot arrows?"
Muyang also saw the col, but his archery skills were average, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to shoot accurately.
"I can give it a try."
At this time, the wind and snow were raging. As soon as the explosives were set up, they were completely covered by the white snow. Yaohua wasn't very confident that she could hit the explosives.
