Chapter 71: Primordial Purple Air
In the weapon forging room, sparks were shooting out in all directions. Heatwaves surged. The high temperature was akin to the interior of a volcano.
Ordinary people would not be able to step into such high temperatures without any protection. They would most likely get burnt.
To cultivators, although they would not get burnt, it was equally uncomfortable to remain here.
Because of the harsh environment, few people chose the Weapon Forging specialization.
Zhao Xuanxuan loved challenges.
Since she was going to learn all the specializations, she would start from the most difficult one.
She was wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts; her slender arms swung up and down.
She did a pretty decent job of hammering and seemed to be quite skilled.
Qin Chuan arrived at the door, but Zhao Xuanxuan was utterly unaware of his presence.
After more than an hour of hammering, Zhao Xuanxuan’s True Qi was completely exhausted, and she had stopped to recover.
At this moment, she noticed Qin Chuan.
“Brother, you’re back?” Zhao Xuanxuan ran over.
She looked as if she had been in the rain, but she was actually drenched in sweat.
“Yes!” Qin Chuan nodded. “Isn’t hammering very tiring?”
Zhao Xuanxuan disagreed, “It’s alright!
“The conditions aren’t too bad. It’s just a little hot. I didn’t feel any pressure. It actually felt pretty comfortable.
“But those three old men complain every day. They can’t even compare to a little girl like me.”
Qin Chuan said with disdain, “You have the Fire Phoenix Soul. You’ll feel like a fish in water in this high-temperature environment. Of course,it won’t feel terrible.
“Besides, you’re not here to cultivate resistance to high temperatures in the Weapon Forging specialization. Are your hammering skills better than theirs?”
Zhao Xuanxuan shook her head, “I’ve only just started, I’ll surpass them sooner or later.”
“Wait until you surpass them before talking!”
“Hmph! Don’t look down on me. Your sister will definitely make pure iron sooner than them.”
“Then I shall wait and see!”
Qin Chuan smiled and walked away.
He came to the bamboo forest.
After he leveled up the bamboo forest, it had become more extensive, and the bamboo was also taller. At the same time, a purple fog had emerged deep within the bamboo forest.
Presently, rustling sounds came from the fog.
Suddenly, a yellow figure rushed out.
Woof woof woof!
It was Huang Huang!
It was very excited. It stuck out its long tongue, and saliva spattered everywhere.
There was a small sidekick behind it.
This was a strange creature. It had eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Its body was a piece of bamboo, no legs. Instead, two bamboo branches on both sides of his body acted as its arms.
According to the system’s introduction, this creature was called the Bamboo Spirit.
Qin Chuan only discovered it yesterday.
The Bamboo Spirit was born from this purple fog. Like the golden dragons and phoenixes in the sky above the sect, it was considered a native species.
However, up until now, Qin Chuan had only found one Bamboo Spirit.
Since the Bamboo Spirit did not have legs, it moved by jumping around.
Huang Huang ran in front while the Bamboo Spirit jumped around behind him.
Huang Huang arrived in front of Qin Chuan. It took two steps back and leaped onto Qin Chuan’s shoulder.
The Bamboo Spirit followed and stopped in front of Qin Chuan.
It was only the size of a disposable cup. Its body was tilted 45 degrees upwards as it looked up at Qin Chuan.
Hulu hulu hulu——
This was the cry it made.
Qin Chuan could understand it.
He squatted down and rubbed Huang Huang’s head. Then, he said to the Bamboo Spirit, “Come up!”
Gululu——
The Bamboo Spirit smiled and leaped up, landing accurately on top of Huang Huang’s head.
Huang Huang didn’t like this and wanted to shake it off. However, Qin Chuan glared at him, and Huang Huang had to give up!
Next, Qin Chuan entered the purple fog.
The spiritual energy here was much richer than in other places. There were also some different energies present.
He only found out after asking the system that this purple fog was no ordinary mist. It was formed by Primordial Purple Air.
[Primordial Purple Air]: Formed from the source of Great Dao, it contains the laws of heaven and earth.
Mortal spirits only needed to absorb a single wisp of it to increase their lifespan by tens of thousands of years. Furthermore, they would obtain the foundation of the Great Dao. From then on, there would no longer be any bottlenecks in their cultivation.
The Primordial Purple Air in front of Qin Chuan wasn’t just a single strand. There was a whole stretch of it.
Qin Chuan had initially wanted to bring Ma Qingxue and Zhao Xuanxuan here to cultivate, but he discovered that the purple fog rejected outsiders.
Even though he had the system, he could not change this situation.
After asking the system, the system answered that it could only be opened when the number of cultivators reached 100 billion.
Qin Chuan sank into great despair.
From what he knew, there were less than six billion people on the planet.
What the hell is 100 billion?
Do you want me to conquer the universe?
Qin Chuan was speechless, yet there was nothing he could do. He could only sit down and cultivate.
…
Half a month later, excited shouts came from the weapon forging room.
“Brother, I succeeded!” Zhao Xuanxuan’s face was dusty and dirty as she jumped up and down in great excitement.
Qin Chuan learned of the situation through his divine consciousness and walked out of the bamboo forest unhurriedly.
Presently, Zhao Xuanxuan was highly agitated. There was a piece of pure iron in her palm. Even though it was only the size of a fingernail, it held extraordinary significance.
The three old men in the weapon forging room also felt happy because of Zhao Xuanxuan’s success.
Not long after, Qin Chuan arrived at the weapon forging room.
Zhao Xuanxuan opened her palm and said proudly, “Big brother, you didn’t expect this, did you?! I’ve produced pure iron so quickly.”
Qin Chuan knew that he couldn’t praise her too much.
Therefore, he only said coolly, “Mm! Not bad!”
Zhao Xuanxuan faltered for a moment before her smile disappeared.
The other three weapon forging specializations students were also stunned.
They knew very well how difficult it was to forge iron.
Without relying on machines, turning ordinary iron ore into pure iron was simply a nightmare.
For Zhao Xuanxuan to produce it in such a short period of time wasn’t just “not bad.”
Zhao Xuanxuan was a little unhappy, and her earlier excitement was gone.
She said, “Brother, is that all you have to say? Nothing else?”
Qin Chuan shrugged. “What else do you want me to say?”
“Shouldn’t you say, sister, you are impressive.
“Sister, you are a genius.
“Sister, you’re my pride and joy?”
Zhao Xuanxuan stood with arms akimbo. She looked at him unhappily.
Qin Chuan calmly replied, “I’m afraid I’ll let myself down if I say that.”
“Brother, you…” Zhao Xuanxuan was furious. “I’m so angry.”
Qin Chuan replied, “I will only praise you if you can forge a piece of pure iron that weighs about 2.5 kilograms within ten days.”
When she heard this, Zhao Xuanxuan’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
“Brother, don’t go back on your words.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head, “If I do, I’ll act like I’m younger brother.”
“Heh, just you wait! I’ll definitely do it.”
After saying that, Zhao Xuanxuan picked up her hammer and began hammering another iron ore.
Qin Chuan stood at the door and watched Zhao Xuanxuan working hard. He felt very gratified.
If he weren’t afraid of ruining Zhao Xuanxuan’s potential with arrogance, she was a genius to be able to produce pure iron in just half a month.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Chuan deduced that Xuanxuan had great potential. Maybe she could give him a miracle.
Since Zhao Xuanxuan had started another round of forging, Qin Chuan felt that there was no point in staying any longer.
Just as he was about to leave, the other three people in the room suddenly called out to him.
