Chapter 943 Refining and Modification, Tianluo's Request
Chapter 943 Refining and Modification, Tianluo's Request
“If the Holy Maiden continues like this, I, Chen, will not be polite.”
Recalling the flirtation in his dream, Chen Ping'an felt annoyed.
The Holy Maiden of Tianluo remained silent, her expression slightly raised as she simply gazed at Chen Ping'an.
The man's reaction pleased her.
Chen Ping'an was momentarily stunned by the Heavenly Net Saintess's words.
Looking at the woman in front of him, he even saw a trace of the girl he used to be in her eyes.
In that instant, it felt as if I had returned to the past.
What's done is done, and there's no use in Chen Ping'an being upset.
Ultimately, there was no one around.
So be it.
After all, this isn't the first time.
Chen Ping'an felt relieved.
In terms of illusions, he was quite familiar with the process. Putting aside his concerns and thinking it over carefully, there was nothing wrong with it.
Back to reality, in this distribution of spoils, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo ultimately contributed more than she should have.
Intending to change the subject and ease the atmosphere, Chen Ping'an cleared his voice and shifted the topic to the distribution of the spoils of war.
"I wonder if the Holy Maiden knows any master blacksmiths who can further refine and modify these treasures."
Chen Ping'an took out the pair of Yin Jade Bone Wings. These bone wings were not a precious treasure for refining, but rather one of the rare treasures of escape light. They could not be stored in the spiritual platform like precious treasures, but could be stored through the Myriad Spirit Bag.
The sealing effect of the Myriad Spirits Bag is far superior to that of the Thousand Machines Bag. Although Chen Ping'an has not yet fully mastered it, he is extremely satisfied with his initial use of it.
"Refinement and modification?"
The Heavenly Luo Saintess gazed with her purple, illusory eyes at the enormous, cold, and sinister bone wings within the grotto. These Yin Jade Bone Wings, obtained from the Great Cultivator of White Bones, were seven or eight zhang in size when spread out, appearing extremely magnificent.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo had returned to calm, just as she always had, with an ethereal and dreamlike temperament, without any trace of her previous coquettishness.
Just as Chen Ping'an had seen before, it was nothing more than a dream.
"This treasure is indeed incredibly fast, but it has many drawbacks. Fellow Daoist, would you like to refine and modify it to resolve these shortcomings and potential problems?"
Chen Ping'an nodded slightly, and couldn't help but praise the Heavenly Luo Saintess.
He is quick to draw inferences from one instance to another, and his meticulous thinking is reminiscent of his younger days.
These Yin Jade Bone Wings possess remarkable speed and can already serve as a powerful reliance for cultivators.
However, despite his extraordinary bloodline and golden fire wings, he still felt that the speed of the Yin Jade Bone Wings was somewhat lacking.
Based on previous encounters, compared to the Golden Fire Wings, the Yin Jade Bone Wings, while not insignificant, are still somewhat slower.
However, at that time, the Great Cultivator of White Bones was injured and entangled with the Illusionary Dream, so his speed was not necessarily at its peak.
In addition, the Golden Flame Wings were maintained by his bloodline supernatural abilities and could not be kept for long.
However, these Yin Jade Bone Wings are different; they can be used as external objects to rely on, forming a normal situation.
If that's the case, Chen Ping'an will be satisfied.
However, these Yin Jade Bone Wings are different from ordinary treasures; they cannot be fully unleashed through refining. A powerful cultivator like the White Bone Master, through a secret method of flesh and blood regeneration, allows these Yin Jade Bone Wings to fuse with his flesh and bones, growing on his back as part of his body. In this way, they can unleash their full power, commanding them with ease.
However, Chen Ping'an did not understand the secret techniques of flesh and blood, and even if he did, he did not have the patience and energy to wait for them to slowly merge and grow. Unlike the Great Cultivator of White Bones, if he wanted to control the trend, he could only use the most brutal method: to control it with his divine soul.
However, if that's the case, the power of the Yin Jade Bone Wings might not be able to be maximized. It would be difficult to replicate the extreme escape speed previously achieved by the White Bone Grandmaster.
Therefore, Chen Ping'an conceived the idea of refining his bone wings.
If he can refine it and make it his own, his mobility and combat ability in normal situations will be greatly enhanced.
With this advantage, his speed of escape, while perhaps unparalleled among cultivators of the Celestial Realm, is certainly something that others in the same realm can only look up to.
Unfortunately, such a refined modification is extremely difficult.
Even highly experienced practitioners of fourth-tier techniques would likely find it difficult to guarantee a successful modification.
Looking across the surrounding areas, I have never heard of anyone with such skills. Even among those surrounding areas, Master Mo Sidao, known as the foremost blacksmith, probably does not possess such skills.
These Yin Jade Bone Wings were already high-grade escape light treasures, and after being nurtured for so many years by the White Bone Master's exclusive secret method, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream to try to refine and modify them.
Looking across the North, there are probably not many people with such skills.
Even if there are any, they are probably honored guests of various factions. To get them to help, you need to pay a price, but more importantly, you need connections and favors.
Chen Ping'an's public status is not high; at most, he only interacts with ordinary senior Celestial Beings, and he cannot come into contact with forging masters of this level.
This opportunity presented itself, so he set his sights on the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.
The Holy Maiden of Tianluo holds a prestigious and extraordinary position. If she were to step forward, she could probably persuade many renowned blacksmiths to come forward.
Furthermore, those Dharma Kings enshrined within the Tianluo Sect may also possess such skills.
Having understood Chen Ping'an's reason, the Holy Goddess Tianluo remained calm and showed no sign of difficulty, but she did not agree to the matter.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ping'an immediately showed his sincerity and made his attitude clear.
"If the Holy Maiden is willing to lend a helping hand and help me refine this treasure, I will be eternally grateful."
“The Dharma King of the sect is skilled in refining techniques and has considerable knowledge of modification. If he is willing to take action, this matter should be possible. However…” The Holy Maiden of Tianluo glanced at Chen Ping’an with a calm expression, “In recent years, he has been enjoying his retirement and rarely takes action. It will not be easy to persuade him to make an exception. Previously, a Venerable Elder of the sect had intended to forge a top-tier treasure, but he refused.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an knew there was hope.
If things were impossible, the tone should have been one of refusal, not the way it is now.
Written language is profound and subtle; what appears to be a polite refusal may actually be a hidden way out.
"I will certainly not put the Holy Maiden in a difficult position. If the Holy Maiden has any needs, please feel free to speak up." Chen Ping'an spoke frankly, increasing his leverage.
The initial words of gratitude have escalated directly to practical benefits.
"Fellow Daoist, you have nothing that this Palace needs," said the Heavenly Luo Saintess, her eyes pale purple, her tone indifferent.
Is there nothing required?
Chen Ping'an was taken aback upon hearing this, and was somewhat disappointed.
He then came to his senses and thought about it carefully. It seemed that the truth was just as the Holy Maiden of Tianluo had said. To the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, he really didn't have anything worth mentioning.
If such a situation existed, the distribution of spoils would likely not have been like this.
In the blink of an eye, he heard the ethereal voice of the Heavenly Maiden once again.
"Even if you did have it, I'm afraid you wouldn't be willing to part with it."
indeed.
To be honest, he did possess something that would capture the heart of the Heavenly Maiden.
The Magic Orb!
The pearl is of great value, and if he were willing to use it as a bargaining chip, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net would surely be happy to oblige.
just
This item is precious because it relates to his combat strength. If that's the case, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
Paying such a high price for a mere refining and modification is a case of putting the cart before the horse, and Chen Ping'an would never do such a thing.
Even so, he still spoke with anticipation.
"If the Holy Maiden doesn't mention it, how would she know that I, Chen, wouldn't be happy?"
Chen Ping'an looked at the woman in front of him; her black dress was graceful and ethereal, like a dream.
"Alright. As long as you agree to one thing, I will not only handle it for you, but also give you an extra opportunity."
The Heavenly Maiden's eyes were like a galaxy, ethereal and dreamlike.
Is this for real?
Chen Ping'an's heart stirred. As long as it wasn't a matter of life and death, such a price didn't seem unacceptable.
“Holy Maiden, please speak freely.”
Chen Ping'an was somewhat tempted and decided to listen first.
Then, he saw the woman in front of him, with a pure temperament and ethereal expression, speaking to him in a tone untouched by worldly concerns.
"Marry me."
Ah!
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an froze instantly.
"Is the Holy Maiden joking?"
Chen Ping'an spoke in a low, dry voice. For a moment, he even suspected that the other party had used some trick again, trying to make him look foolish.
The other person's words made his throat feel a little itchy.
It feels itchy, and not just in my throat, but in other places as well.
I feel a strong urge to try it.
He looked at the woman in front of him, and for a moment she seemed dreamlike and ethereal, reminding him of countless scenes from the past.
All the scenes overlapped, memories surfaced, and transformed into a sudden flutter of the heart.
幻梦
Could it really come true?
And before that
Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, and his blood surged.
In the scenes of memory, the woman in front of him once spoke softly and sweetly, and he was pleased with her beneath him. There are also images that tell of enchanting scenery and tender years.
"Of course." The Holy Maiden of Tianluo gave him a strange look, her expression somewhat odd: "You don't actually believe me, do you?"
Ok.
It was just a joke, as expected.
Witch!
I almost got infected again.
Chen Ping'an silently reflected on himself and examined his own mind.
“Chen is young and impetuous. Does the Holy Maiden know that he will cause a great disaster?”
Chen Ping'an remained calm and took a step closer to the woman in front of him.
The two weren't far apart before, but now that he had taken a big step forward, the distance between them was less than an arm's length. Chen Ping'an could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from the Heavenly Luo Saintess's hair.
Being repeatedly fooled and toyed with would surely provoke even the most stubborn person. While his relationship with the Holy Maiden of Tianluo is indeed complicated, such repeated mistreatment seems inappropriate.
"A great calamity?" The Holy Maiden of Tianluo's gaze was pure, as innocent and naive as a young girl's: "What great calamity?"
The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net had pure eyes, but Chen Ping'an saw a hint of provocation in them.
Good guy!
interesting.
"What great calamity could possibly exist between men and women?!"
Chen Ping'an suddenly raised his hand and reached out towards the face of the Heavenly Luo Saintess.
He thought the other person would dodge, but to his surprise, she just stared straight at him without flinching.
簌~
With a soft sound, Chen Ping'an ripped off the veil from the face of the Heavenly Luo Saintess.
The veil was pulled off, revealing a flawless, pure, and ethereal face.
Purple eyes like stars, pure gold without flaw, ethereal and dreamlike, a beauty unparalleled in the world.
The Holy Maiden of Tianluo looked at Chen Ping'an with a provocative expression.
Chen Pingan sneered, reaching out to caress that exquisite face. His burning palm instantly touched that ethereal beauty, and beneath the firm touch was an indescribable warmth.
The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net remained silent, her eyes filled with provocation. Her dreamlike purple eyes gleamed with a strange light, as if she were savoring the moment or had finally gotten what she wanted.
Under the strange gaze of the Heavenly Luo Saintess, Chen Ping'an reached out and pinched her face hard. He only withdrew his hand after he had completely deformed her ethereal and pure face.
"I'll teach you a lesson."
Chen Ping'an looked calm and withdrew his hand.
Amount(⊙o⊙)…
This time, it was the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net who was stunned and bewildered.
That's it!?
Where's the youthful vigor we were promised?!
Where did all that bravery go?!
Feeling the complex gaze in Tianluo Saintess's eyes, Chen Ping'an sneered inwardly.
Little Tianluo, oh Little Tianluo.
You wish!
Want your wish to be granted without calling him "Dad"?
Dream it.
Those calls of "Dad," in the very beginning, were indeed forced upon him by him.
To be precise, this stemmed from a bet the girl lost.
At first, it felt a bit forced, but later on, those calls started to sound quite familiar.
In some situations, the girl simply expressed her interest without his specific requests.
You do not have what this palace requires.
Chen Pingan laughed.
Back then, what were they asking for when they called out "Dad"?
You know the truth in your heart.
However, dreams are dreams, and reality is reality.
In a dream world, one can do whatever one wants, but it's best to keep a low profile for now.
The battle just now showed that the Heavenly Luo Saintess's strength should not be underestimated. If he really angered her, it would be a tough battle for him.
Chen Ping'an's emotions shifted, but he ultimately did not utter these words aloud.
We can discuss these things another day.
It's not too late.
The touch of his face still faintly carried the heat of his presence. Looking at the man before her, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net felt somewhat lost.
However, she quickly regained her composure, her expression ethereal and dreamlike, as she gazed at the veil in Chen Ping'an's hand.
Give it back to me.
Her demeanor remained unchanged, but the meaning behind her words carried a hint of vulnerability.
"Want it?" Chen Ping'an looked at the Heavenly Luo Saintess with interest, raising the veil in his hand. He could almost feel the cool fragrance and warmth of her skin.
Without saying a word, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Net immediately took action.
Chen Ping'an took a step back, seemingly flustered, and said, "Holy Maiden, please have some self-respect. Men and women should not touch each other!"
Seeing the man's unreliable behavior, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo couldn't help but get angry.
Everything was fine until suddenly it's like a completely different person.
Unfortunately, she was always the one who couldn't handle the other person's demeanor.
The dreams of yesteryear, the many experiences—these can serve as cautionary tales.
"If that's how you are, then don't mention the refining and modification again!" The Holy Maiden of Tianluo said with a straight face, trying her best to keep her expression calm, but deep in her eyes, there was a hint of joy and excitement.
Sometimes, a relationship that is too formal or rigid may not be pleasant.
On the contrary, playful fighting often touches people's hearts.
He thought that after this ordeal, the refining and modification were completely hopeless, but unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden of Tianluo finally agreed. She agreed to step in on Chen Ping'an's behalf and ask a renowned blacksmith to refine and modify the Yin Jade Bone Wings.
When it came to serious matters, Chen Ping'an naturally became more serious and eventually returned the veil to the Holy Maiden of Tianluo.
It may seem that he forced this, but in reality, if the Holy Maiden of Tianluo were unwilling, it wouldn't be so easy for him to remove her veil.
At least, given his speed just now, it was absolutely impossible for him to succeed.
Sometimes, what appears to be a scheme or calculation is actually the other party's willingness to cooperate.
Without these prerequisites, what you're doing is nothing more than a one-man show.
"It was just a bit of playful banter, Holy Maiden, please don't take offense. I am extremely grateful for what happened today. If there is ever any need for my services in the future, I will gladly die for it!"
With the promise from the Holy Maiden of Tianluo, Chen Ping'an remained calm and bowed respectfully to her.
The Holy Maiden of Tianluo, having retrieved her veil, did not put it back on, instead facing Chen Ping'an with her pure and flawless beauty.
She looked at the man in front of her, who was acting so solemnly, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I'll definitely come to you if I need anything in the future!"
After a thousand years of dreams, she knew the man before her, and she knew the weight of this promise.
The man before me always kept his word and never broke his promise.
He is a towering man standing between heaven and earth, truly.
A loving partner with whom one can entrust one's life. (End of Chapter)
