Chapter 66 Spirit Bracelet
"Junior Sister, so you only miss Senior Brother and not Second Senior Brother?" Mu Zhusheng heard the commotion and hurriedly came out to see his junior sister who had been away for a year and a half and was returning. He teased her.
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly let go of her eldest brother and grabbed her second brother's arm. "Eldest brother, second brother, I miss Master so much! I'm so grateful to my senior brothers for the magical artifacts, pills, and talismans they gave me. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to come back safely this time..."
Mu Zhusheng chuckled and pinched Xu Xiaoxiao's nose: "Junior Sister has become much more composed since her trip. But did you encounter anything unusual on this trip? You must tell us about it."
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled: "Yes! In that misty forest, I was almost trapped by a giant phantom beast. Luckily, I remembered the concealment spell that my second senior brother taught me, and I managed to hide. At that time, I thought, if only I could go back to my senior brothers immediately."
At this moment, the senior brother Jiang Jingzhi, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "That phantom beast was extremely cunning, it was truly remarkable that you were able to escape. During your training trip, has your skill improved?"
Xu Xiaoxiao patted her chest confidently: "Of course, Senior Brother. Not only have my skills improved, but I've also made many new friends. We also took on a mission at Haoyue Manor, and after completing it, the Manor Lord had us practice their Spirit Control Technique."
Xu Xiaoxiao formed a hand seal and summoned her cultivated water spirit. "Senior brother, this is my water spirit."
Jiang Jingzhi was happy for his junior sister to have such an opportunity, but he also felt sorry for her. She should have been innocent and carefree at that age, but she had to work hard to grow up. It was good that way, because in this world of cultivation where people are devoured, she could only protect herself if she had the strength.
Mu Zhusheng asked curiously, "What mission did you complete that made Master Haoyue teach you the secret Spirit Control Technique?"
Without hesitation, Xu Xiaoxiao said, "We helped him find a map of the ancient ruins in the secret realm, as well as cultivation techniques. Oh, and the manor lord even made a copy and sent it back to the Heavenly Sect as a reward. I don't recognize many of the characters on the map, so I guess Senior Brother Qingfeng has given it to the sect leader now."
Jiang Jingzhi frowned after hearing this, thinking, "It seems the cultivation world is going to be quite turbulent from now on."
She nodded slightly: "It seems you have indeed gained a lot from this trip. However, you must not be complacent because of this; the path of cultivation is still long."
Xu Xiaoxiao obediently replied, "I know, Senior Brother. I will continue to work hard and won't let Master and my fellow disciples down. By the way, how has Master been feeling lately?"
Mu Zhusheng replied, "Master is in good health, but he often thinks of you and hopes for your safe return. However, Master is currently in seclusion, so you won't be able to see him now."
"In that case, I won't disturb Master's secluded cultivation." Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her master's residence and gave up on visiting her master whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Junior Sister, this is the Spirit Bracelet I've been crafting recently. It contains powerful spiritual energy, allowing the wearer to resist evil influences and enhance their mental defenses. Simultaneously, the bracelet absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into pure spiritual power for the wearer to quickly absorb during cultivation, thus increasing cultivation speed. In battle, the bracelet can release a powerful shield, capable of withstanding a fatal attack from a Nascent Soul stage expert and reflecting some damage. Furthermore, the bracelet can conceal the wearer's aura, making them undetectable in dangerous environments."
Jiang Jingzhi calmly took out a spirit-grade magic weapon. Although it was a low-level spiritual artifact, it was still a rare spirit-grade magic weapon in the cultivation world.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the bracelet in front of her, which was full of spiritual energy and emitted a faint light. It was different from any magical artifact she had seen before. Even if she didn't know much about magic artifacts, she knew that this was definitely not a simple bracelet.
"Senior Brother, I can't accept this. I think this spirit bracelet is especially suitable for you. Master said that you have resentment in you that needs to be purified, and this magic artifact can help you." Although Xu Xiaoxiao liked it, she knew that her senior brother needed the spirit bracelet more than she did.
“This won’t be of much help to your senior brother. I specially made it into a girl’s style for you. You’ll be going to leave the sect for training later, so we and Master will feel more at ease if you wear it,” Jiang Jingzhi said affectionately, wishing he could leave all the good things for his junior sister.
Upon seeing the spirit-level magic weapon, Mu Zhusheng was slightly stunned. How far had his senior brother's cultivation reached at such a young age? He was actually able to refine a spirit weapon. There were no more than three weapon refiners in the entire cultivation world who could refine spirit-level magic weapons.
He was very excited. Could he ask his senior brother to help him forge a spiritual alchemy furnace so that he could refine better pills?
"Junior Sister, this is Senior Brother's kind gesture, please accept it. We can't always be by your side to protect you. If you feel bad about it, you can collect good refining materials outside and give them to Senior Brother." After Mu Zhusheng finished speaking, she winked at Senior Brother Jiang Jingzhi, who was eager to take credit.
Seeing his junior brother Mu Zhusheng's unusual behavior, Jiang Jingzhi knew that he must need something from him.
Xu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time, but seeing that her senior brother was so insistent, she said, "Thank you, senior brother. I will definitely collect good refining materials for you when I come across them. I can't keep letting you spend money on me."
"Hmm, this magical artifact is different; you need to drip a drop of your blood to bind it to you."
Before Xu Xiaoxiao could react, Jiang Jingzhi used magic to force a drop of blood from her finger, which dripped onto the Spirit Bracelet. The red light disappeared, and it returned to being an ordinary bracelet. When he put the bracelet on his junior sister's right hand, it automatically changed to the right size.
As expected, this bracelet suits my junior sister very well, making her skin look even whiter. It did not disappoint him after looking at many designs to choose this style.
"Junior Sister, these are the Rejuvenation Pills, Youth Rejuvenation Pills, and Mind-Awakening Pills I've refined over the past few days..." Mu Zhusheng waved her hand, and the stone table was filled with all sorts of pills. "I've labeled these pills with their effects for you. Keep them safe. Don't worry about running out. When you're done, come back to Second Senior Brother to refine more for you, and I'll make sure you have enough."
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother. I'll collect any medicinal plants I come across for alchemy and bring them back to you in the future." Xu Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart. Her senior brothers were so kind to her. She must cultivate diligently and not let them down.
Store all the pills in your storage ring so they don't take up space.
"Master, you're finally back! We missed you so much!" After finishing tidying up their rooms, Chu Yi and Chu Er rushed over to see their fellow disciples catch up. Instead of disturbing them, they went to the small kitchen on Chongyang Peak and made two snacks that Xu Xiaoxiao liked. Since Xu Xiaoxiao took on a mission and went down the mountain, the two of them had nothing to do, so they started to study cooking. Although the taste of their dishes couldn't compare to those in the sect's canteen, they were still quite good.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao return to her room, they rushed over and each grabbed one of her arms, chattering about how much they missed her while she was away from the sect.
"Master, these are pastries we made for you. Please try them." Before Xu Xiaoxiao could reply, he pulled her down to sit and pushed the pastries in front of her.
The color and shape were so beautiful. Xu Xiaoxiao picked up a peach blossom-shaped piece and savored it. "Delicious! I didn't expect you guys to have even learned how to make this while I was away. I missed you all so much while I was away..."
