Rui Ying has fully grown up, and her face shape is somewhat like Lin Xi's. Her slightly larger nose looks very individual.

She is of medium to slightly tall height, and with the long braid on the back of her head, she looks slim.

The cultivation level of this hibiscus has reached the level of Jin Ziming.

Xu Jieying's appearance has not changed much. She was the number one beauty of the Long Qing sect back then. She stood aside with a sweet smile and had a subtle beauty of her own.

She has reached the peak level of the middle golden elixir and is about to break through.

"Brother, Sister Ye, we are rare visitors! I have been waiting for you to come. How long can you stay on the island this time?"

Rui Ying said happily.

"I plan to stay for two days and then go to the Fire Dragon Palace to visit Qingfan."

"Ah, we have to leave so soon." The two of them were a little disappointed.

"We still have a lot of places to go on this trip."

"Oh, I really envy you." Xu Jieying sighed.

"How's Guang Liang doing lately? This guy hasn't written to me for a long time."

"He is quite good, even though he is only a trial disciple of the Dou Zhan Hall.

Rune Hall attaches great importance to this newly established hall and provides many resources, including exercises, spiritual stones and elixirs.

He is cultivating wholeheartedly and wants to enter Yuanying as soon as possible and become an official inner disciple."

"Oh, that's not bad."

The room arranged for the two of them on Drifting Island is in a good location, facing the sea directly, and the courtyard is the white sand beach.

In the evening, you can watch the sky full of colorful clouds and the red sun sinking into the sea; at night, you can listen to the ebb and flow of the tide and the chirping of birds in the forest, which makes you feel more comfortable and comfortable.

Jin Ziming rarely slept in, and did not enjoy the magnificent sunrise in the early morning like Ye Xianzi did.

There are a wide variety of fruits and seafood on the island, and the dishes are also very delicious. Paired with special fruit wine, it is extremely enjoyable.

Two days passed quickly, and the two refused to stay and prepared to leave the island.

Rui Ying and Xu Jieying are both clever people and have prepared handicrafts made from deep-sea shellfish.

It looks very exquisite, and the cold Fairy Ye can't put it down.

"You two are quite sensible. If you know how to serve your sister Ranyi well, you will be promoted to Nascent Soul in the future and will hopefully join the Taoist Academy."

Jin Ziming joked, while also reminding his fiancée.

Leaving the Drifting Island, they came to Lieyang City where the Fire Dragon Palace was located.

Although it is spring, this medium-sized city is already very hot, and pedestrians on the street are wearing cool clothes.

Jin Ziming couldn't help but think that the demon girl has a pure fire constitution, and if she practiced here, it would be of great benefit.

Then he suddenly had a sudden inspiration, corrected his wandering thoughts, and accompanied the fairy with peace of mind.

There is a Guangyan Mountain in the city. Poinciana trees can be seen everywhere on the mountain. It is said that when they bloom in summer, the tree crown is like a ball of flames.

The foot of the mountain is full of greenery and makes people feel cool.

The two found an inn to stay here, and then contacted Chu Qingfan and asked him to come and meet.

Qingfan was darker and thinner, and his cultivation level was only at the peak level of the middle stage of Jindan. He was overtaken by Xu Jieying.

The three of them drank tea and talked.

"Qingfan, what have you been busy with these years? Why haven't you improved in your cultivation?"

"Zi Ming, I don't care much about realm. Just let it go. I only like to refine weapons."

"The maximum lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator is only four hundred years. Only when you break through to the Nascent Soul can you have more time to do the things you like, right?"

"Well, that makes sense, I will take care of both weapon refining and cultivation, don't worry.

I'm very compatible with my major in martial arts. If I don't pursue combat prowess but only care about my level, I'm still confident that I can catch up."

"As long as you understand."

Jin Ziming felt that he had fulfilled his duties as an elder brother and was quite satisfied.

"Let's not talk about cultivation. I'll show you some fun things, all made by myself."

Chu Qingfan took out a bunch of messy things from Najie.

First, he handed Jin Ziming a flying knife, and the latter took it, not noticing anything strange, and looked at him suspiciously.

Chu Qingfan reminded with a smile:

"There's a button on the top of the handle."

The reckless man pressed the button, and one side of the flying knife popped open. The inside was hollow and divided into four compartments.

Each grid has a small piece of soul jade and top-grade spiritual stone, which is penetrated by a silver pipe.

Jin Ziming is an expert with swords and guessed:

"Is this to accelerate the flying knife four times in a row?"

"Zi Ming, you are so smart. The most troublesome thing was the silver tube. It took a long time to get it done.

It needs to detect the loss of the soul in each spiritual stone and soul jade in real time, and when it is about to be exhausted, activate the next grid in time.

Only in this way can the spiritual connection between the flying knife and its owner be maintained, so that it can be controlled by you at any time."

"Yes, your idea is wonderful." Jin Ziming and Ye Ranyi praised.

Chu Qingfan showed them several more strange gadgets, all of which were innovative and innovative works.

Fairy Ye couldn't help but ask:

"Junior brother Chu, I have a black turtle shell with a history of three thousand years. I usually use it to cast spells and tell fortunes. Is there any way you can further improve its accuracy?"

"Show it to me."

Ye Ranyi handed over the simple turtle shell. Chu Qingfan played with it for a while and said:

"Senior Sister Ye, I can't handle it now.

But if you recommend some fortune-telling and spell-casting books to me, I might be able to do it after I understand the mechanism."

Ye Ranyi took out two books and said:

"Junior Brother Chu, please read these two books first. After you understand them, you will know which books you need to read more."

"Do you mind if I make a mold for this turtle shell first? Then I can continue to experiment after you leave."

"OK."

That night, Chu Qingfan hosted a banquet for the two of them in the city.

After three drinks, Jin Ziming couldn't help but ask:

"Qing Fan, is weapon refining really that interesting? I always feel that martial arts is the goal pursued by monks."

Chu Qingfan took a sip of wine and smiled:

"I don't know why, but as soon as I refine the weapon, I feel happy.

You say, why don’t I do things that make me happy?”

If Jin Ziming realized something, he said nothing and fell into deep thought.

Ye Ranyi and Chu Qingfan were both quiet people and would not disturb his thinking.

"Refining weapons makes Qingfan happy, so he is willing to give up his training time to do this.

So, does business make me happy?”

He carefully recalled his more than fifty years of experience in the industry and had to admit:

“Doing business used to make me happy, but why isn’t it happy now?

Are you tired of the secret war with those evil people? Is it my nature to be good? But am I a good person?

Obviously not, I am a cruel person.

Do you want to be alone, or do you have endless fun fighting with others?

Is it more satisfying to live in peace with the world, or to defeat those cunning people in the mall?

…

My answer is always the latter?

Escaping from the world is actually not as good as defeating the insidious people, which can make my Taoist heart perfect.

Why should I doubt a career that once made me extremely happy because of some people and things?

With my personality, when it comes to cold people, I either avoid them, take advantage of them, or kill them.

This is my true intention."

Thinking of this, his brows began to relax and he continued to torture his soul.
