"So, what should we do next?"
Fu Zhu, March 7th, and Xing stood at the main entrance of the Seat of Divine Foresight, directionless.
Initially, when Welt agreed to stay on the Luofu for a few more days, they had excitedly run out, planning to have so fun. They had intended to invite Dan Heng along, but he ntioned that his sentence of exile was still being processed by the Ten-Lords Commission and it wasn't convenient for him to be out and about. So, in the end, it was just the three of them.
But the result was the three of them standing at the main entrance of the Seat of Divine Foresight, with no idea where to go next.
Xing and March 7th almost instinctively turned their gazes to Fu Zhu.
"What are you looking at for?"
"Old bro, as the Idea King, do you have any ideas? Like, say, taking us to chop down a tree again!"
Fu Zhu flicked Xing's forehead with his finger, making her whimper in pain as she clutched her head with a resentful look.
"Where on the Luofu are there so many trees for you to destroy like that? You should know that the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor have also been destroyed. Unless there's a sapling, even I can't bring the Ambrosial Arbor back to life now."
"Xing was just saying it casually. Fu Zhu, you don't have to actually start considering it!" March 7th complained lightly, then pointed a finger towards the bustling street.
"Why don't we go shopping? Maybe we'll run into sothing fun?"
Hearing March 7th's suggestion, Fu Zhu stared at the lively street and fell into deep thought.
"According to the law that a party of three must have an Idea King, your idea gives a bad feeling. But… I'm in."
Steve wasn't afraid of trouble, he was only afraid of having nothing to do.
"Let's go then!"
March 7th giggled, linking her arms with Xing and Fu Zhu on either side, and pulled them forward.
The three of them strolled along the street. Occasionally, when they saw a shop that interested them, March 7th and Xing would always stop and insist on peeking inside. Fu Zhu, with great foresight, would walk directly into the shop, find a sofa or chair for custors to rest on, and start scrolling through his phone.
Just as he had guessed, March 7th and Xing would browse around the shop for a while, buy nothing, and then pull him out of the shop again.
"So, if you're not buying anything, why do you have to go into the shops?" Fu Zhu couldn't help but complain.
March 7th retorted defiantly, "Shopping doesn't an you have to buy things! Browsing the dazzling array of goods is an integral part of the shopping experience!"
Fu Zhu shook his head, still unable to understand. If it were him, he would have gone straight to his destination, bought what he needed, and then turned around and left.
Xing, on Fu Zhu's right, also crossed her arms unhappily and argued back, "Old bro, this is your fault!"
"My fault?"
"Yup! Don't you think it's a really fun thing to go shopping with two beautiful girls like us, who can make fish sink and geese fall, and whose beauty can eclipse the moon and sha the flowers, thereby asserting your sovereignty?"
Hearing the words "asserting your sovereignty" in Xing's sentence, both March 7th and Fu Zhu were taken aback. The forr shyly turned her head away, while the latter couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Seeing Fu Zhu start to ponder, Xing couldn't help but grin. "Don't you think what I said makes a lot of sense?"
"No." Fu Zhu shook his head, denying her statent, and turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.
"When did you secretly go to a cram school? You actually know how to use idioms! I'm telling you, the early childhood education on the Luofu is amazing. Not only can it produce obedient children like Yanqing, but it can also teach you how to use idioms!"
"The one who needs to go to cram school for character education is you! Old bro!"
Xing viciously poked Fu Zhu's side with her index finger, as if trying to vent her frustration.
March 7th, on Fu Zhu's left, curiously leaned forward, looking at Fu Zhu from the side with her hands behind her back.
"So, is there anywhere you want to go, Fu Zhu? We can go with you!"
Fu Zhu thought for a mont and an idea imdiately struck him.
"I've got it. Let's go find that Yanqing kid."
"Huh?"
Xing crossed her arms unhappily. "Isn't having the two of us beautiful girls with you enough? You still want to go find Yanqing! This should be our ti to be all lovey-dovey with our sister!"
Fu Zhu rolled his eyes at her speechlessly.
"What are you talking about? I have proper business with Yanqing."
He had already planned to raise his combat power by at least one level before leaving the Luofu. Otherwise, the next ti he faced an Emanator-level powerhouse, his combat strength would be insufficient.
He had to ensure that, without using ans like Redstone technology, his simple attacks alone would be able to pose a threat to Emanator-level powerhouses.
After all, not every Emanator would be like Phantylia, giving him the opportunity to set up Redstone contraptions.
Ignoring Xing's resentful gaze, Fu Zhu took out his phone and called Yanqing.
"Yo? Yanqing kid, where are you? The training grounds? Got it, give your location."
After receiving the location information for the training grounds from Yanqing, Fu Zhu gestured to March 7th and Xing and led the two of them towards the training grounds.
Xing, following beside him, still couldn't help but ask, "Old bro, what are you looking for Yanqing for?"
"To get stronger, of course. I can't just keep stuffing Emanator-level enemies into the Nether every ti I encounter them, can I? The Nether is big, but it's not like you can just shove anything in there."
"How did Emanators beco just 'things' in your mouth, old bro…"
The three of them followed the location information all the way to a vast training ground. There were even Cloud Knights guarding the entrance. Seeing the three unfamiliar faces, they imdiately stepped forward to stop them.
"Apologies, but the area ahead is a training ground for the Cloud Knights only. If you wish to practice your martial arts, please go elsewhere."
Fu Zhu nodded but didn't leave. "We know. We're just waiting for soone here. When the person we're waiting for cos to explain, you'll understand."
The two Cloud Knights exchanged a glance. Seeing Fu Zhu's words, they didn't press the issue and returned to their original posts to continue guarding the training grounds.
Fu Zhu sent a ssage to Yanqing on his phone. A mont later, Yanqing, dressed in white training clothes and sweating profusely, ran out from within the training grounds. After explaining a few things to the two Cloud Knights at the entrance, he ran over to Fu Zhu's group with a smile.
"Teacher Fu Zhu, please, co with ."
Yanqing led the three of them into the training grounds. As they walked, he didn't forget to ask Fu Zhu his purpose for coming.
"Teacher Fu Zhu, the turmoil on the Luofu has just ended. Why don't you all take a good rest? Why co looking for ?"
"I ca to find you to borrow so of the Cloud Knights' resources. Who knew the blacksmiths on the Luofu couldn't forge the swords I need."
"Is that so…"
Yanqing laughed awkwardly. He wanted to defend the Luofu's blacksmiths, but when he rembered the requirents Fu Zhu had given for forging the Yamato, he silently closed his mouth.
A blade that could cut through space… that wasn't sothing an ordinary blacksmith could make. Even if you brought in the Artisanship Commission of the Luofu, they probably wouldn't be able to do it either.
If anyone could actually forge a blade that could cut through space, it would probably only be the top-tier master craftsn from the Xianzhou Zhuming.
"So, what does Teacher Fu Zhu need to prepare?"
"Just the training dummies you use for daily practice."
Fu Zhu planned to use the characteristic of training dummies consuming weapon durability to farm the most important and basic material in the SlashBlade MOD—Proud Soul Fragnts.
Although there was also a training dummy MOD in MC that could achieve the sa effect, he preferred to use his achievent points to buy more practical mods, rather than buying sothing that had a real-world alternative.
"Alright, Teacher Fu Zhu, please wait a mont."
Yanqing imdiately ran off excitedly to prepare a large number of training dummies for Fu Zhu. It was a good opportunity for him to observe Fu Zhu's swordsmanship.
After Yanqing left, Fu Zhu didn't stand idle either. He placed his Crafting Table down and began to mass-produce the cheapest SlashBlade, the [Kugutsu], preparing to use them to farm a large number of Proud Soul Fragnts.
Once he had enough Proud Soul Fragnts, Fu Zhu planned to forge himself an Ōdachi today. The Ōdachi, similar to the [Kugutsu], was a starting point for the SlashBlade.
The only difference was that the [Kugutsu] was the absolute beginning of all SlashBlades, while the Ōdachi was the key blade that determined several other evolutionary paths.
Moreover, starting from the Ōdachi, he could directly unlock it as the Cursed Blade Ōdachi. The process was very simple, and it was the fastest way for him to obtain a Cursed Blade at the mont.
And once a SlashBlade reached the Cursed Blade stage, it would undergo a qualitative leap. Its damage and skills would be completely different from ordinary blades.
Before long, Yanqing returned. Behind him, a training grounds administrator was driving a small cart carrying a large pile of what looked to be about twenty training dummies.
"Teacher Fu Zhu, are these enough?"
Yanqing had the administrator help unload the dummies and arranged them neatly.
Fu Zhu counted them. There were indeed twenty. He nodded.
"It's enough, young Yanqing."
"Great."
Yanqing then thanked the administrator, who drove the small cart away. Yanqing then stood beside Fu Zhu, looking at him expectantly, waiting for him to make his move.
Fu Zhu noticed Yanqing's expectant gaze and couldn't help but apologize inwardly.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint Yanqing. All I'm going to do is use the SlashBlade's very plain and simple attacks on the dummies in front of to consu the blade's durability and obtain Proud Soul Fragnts.
Yanqing will probably have a hard ti learning anything from this.
Fu Zhu averted his gaze from Yanqing. He then gripped a newly crafted [Kugutsu] in his hand, raised it, and swung, hitting all twenty dummies in front of him simultaneously. He then began to continuously increase the speed of his strikes.
After a short while, with a crack, the [Kugutsu] in Fu Zhu's hand shattered. The blade and hilt both dissolved into fragnts.
Yanqing was taken aback by this scene and asked with so concern, "Teacher Fu Zhu, your sword…"
"It's fine, it's not important."
Fu Zhu looked at the extra Proud Soul Fragnts in his inventory, then took them out and held them in his hand to show the other three.
"What's important is this."
