An Artifact Refiner Who Can't Cook Is No Good Spirit Cat!

Chu Xinghe had considered that the Ouyang Lineage might train the Nebula Spirit Cat to be a chef.

Chu Xinghe had even prepared himself for the scene of seeing countless Nebula Spirit Cats lined up as soon as he arrived at the Artifact Refining Palace, some chopping meat, others practicing tossing food.

But as Chu Xinghe listened to Ouyang Ming's perfectly normal reprimand, he realized that... what had happened at the Artifact Refining Palace was far more bizarre than he had imagined!

In other palaces, if you hear someone scolding you, your first reaction is probably that the disciples aren't working hard enough and have angered the elders.

Or perhaps the junior brother was disobedient and was scolded by his senior brother...

The worst that happened was when an inner disciple disobeyed and was reprimanded by Ma Liang, the only outer disciple.

But in the Artifact Refining Palace, when you heard Ouyang Ming accusing others of not working hard without a word, don't you think there's a big problem...?

Aside from eating, when has the Ouyang Lineage ever made any effort?

This is definitely something serious.

When Chu Xinghe rushed to Ouyang Ming's side, the scene before him left Chu Xinghe completely dumbfounded.

Right now, the Nebula Spirit Cats are indeed standing in a row, just as I imagined.

However, they weren't learning how to toss a wok or chop food; they were learning... weapon crafting?

Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded when he looked at Ouyang Ming... This Nebula Spirit Cat, a spirit beast, you're going to make it learn weapon crafting?

What is the Ouyang Lineage trying to do?

Are you guys planning to completely let loose?

Before Chu Xinghe could even lament whether it was absurd to let the Nebula Spirit Cat learn weapon crafting, an even more outrageous scene unfolded.

Then Ouyang Ming's Nebula Spirit Cat was seen practicing the Cloud Piercing Hammer Technique, one paw gripping a forging hammer... Cloud-Piercing Hammer Technique?

Meanwhile, Ouyang Ming stood next to the Nebula Spirit Cat, berating his Nebula Spirit Cat.

And he corrected various mistakes made during the creation of the Nebula Spirit Cat in real time... This scene left Chu Xinghe completely stunned.

While the training directions for Nebula Spirit Cats in other palaces may differ somewhat, whether they are combat- Nebula Spirit Cat or support- Nebula Spirit Cat, the ultimate goal is to enhance their combat capabilities.

Is your Ouyang Lineage trying to defy the heavens?

What the hell are you guys thinking, training the Nebula Spirit Cat to be a weapon refiner?

Has the Nebula Spirit Cat's Power of Chaos become this formidable?

You can even learn weapon crafting now?

Is this completely unreasonable?

Upon seeing Senior Brother Xinghe appear, Ouyang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to greet Senior Brother Xinghe and personally introduced him to just how extraordinary the Nebula Spirit Cat bred by their Senior Brother Xinghe Ouyang Lineage was.

Ouyang Ming stated that although the Nebula Spirit Cats cultivated by the other palaces were also full of creativity, no matter how creative they were, they were just old wine in new bottles.

Senior Brother Xinghe, please look at our Ouyang Lineage... We are dedicated to cultivating the Nebula Spirit Cat into Future master craftsman. My goal is to make my Nebula Spirit Cat surpass me, Ouyang Ming, and become the new number one craftsman cat in the world.

When that time comes, not only will all the great weapon-forging masters in the world be inferior to me, Ouyang Ming, they won't even be as good as one of Ouyang Ming cats. You can tell me if they'll be ashamed of themselves!

What? Senior Brother Xinghe, you're saying the Nebula Spirit Cat is a spirit beast, so it can learn the Cloud-Piercing Hammer Technique?

Senior Brother Xinghe has absolutely no need to worry about this.

Senior Brother Xinghe, the wondrous Spirit Beast Mystic Art you passed down have greatly enlightened the intelligence of the Nebula Spirit Cat, making the already intelligent Nebula Spirit Cat even more human-like now.

And this is just the beginning. According to my prediction, Ouyang Ming, in just a few more years, once all the Nebula Spirit Cats have reached adulthood, their intelligence will be no less than that of humans.

Since their intelligence is no less than that of humans, wouldn't it be perfectly fine for them to learn the Cloud-Piercing Hammer Technique?

If you can learn the Cloud-Piercing Hammer Technique, then becoming a weapon-refining cat wouldn't be unreasonable, would it?

Chu Xinghe was stunned for half a minute after hearing Ouyang Ming's explanation before he spoke.

"Ouyang... have you ever considered that this Nebula Spirit Cat was meant to be trained as a battle partner for you?"

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Ouyang Ming nodded on the spot.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is right, the Nebula Spirit Cat is our battle partner... Every weapon forging is a battle for our Ouyang Lineage, so the Nebula Spirit Cat learns weapon forging so that it can fight alongside us!"

Chu Xinghe: "..."

This weapon refiner says that every weapon refinement is a battle, and it doesn't seem to make any sense...

"What I mean is, shouldn't the Nebula Spirit Cat be trained to be more combat-oriented?"

Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and reminded Ouyang Ming that compared to the various powerful Nebula Spirit Cats cultivated by the different palaces, Chu Xinghe was actually most afraid of the weapon-refining cats cultivated by the Ouyang Lineage.

The Ouyang Lineage's weapon-refining ability is unparalleled, but fortunately, the Ouyang Lineage has a small population. Even if the Ouyang Lineage tries their best, it is impossible to improve the spiritual treasure level of everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect in a short period of time.

But if we include the weapon-refining cat... and if Ouyang Ming actually succeeds, that would be equivalent to the Ouyang Lineage's population doubling... wouldn't that be far too destructive?

Upon hearing Senior Brother Xinghe suggest that the Nebula Spirit Cat should be improved to enhance its combat power, Ouyang Ming immediately exclaimed... Senior Brother Xinghe, are you out of your mind?!

Our Ouyang Lineage are weapon refiners, we are normal weapon refiners, not all of us are like that freak Mu Bai... not only is his alchemy talent unparalleled, but he's also incredibly good at fighting.

Our Ouyang Lineage isn't good at combat, so there's no point in us training Nebula Spirit Cats for combat...

Besides... with the strength of our Vast Heaven Sect, when have we Ouyang Lineage ever needed to take action?

So, does it matter whether our Ouyang Lineage's Nebula Spirit Cat is good at fighting?

Chu Xinghe fell silent in response to Ouyang Ming's words... and finally realized that he couldn't find any words to refute Ouyang Ming.

Because Ouyang Ming is right...

No way... Surely no one in our Vast Heaven Sect thinks Ouyang Ming can fight?

If our Vast Heaven Sect ever falls to the point where we have to rely on the Ouyang Lineage to fight, tell me, isn't our sect on the verge of destruction?

Therefore, the Ouyang Lineage's direction was completely correct... From top to bottom, no one in the Ouyang Lineage was thinking about how to improve their lethality.

Even the Nebula Spirit Cats they bred were developing in the direction of weapon-refining cats.

Afterwards, Chu Xinghe, accompanied by Ouyang Ming, toured the entire Artifact Refining Palace.

Just as Ouyang Ming said, the entire Nebula Spirit Cat in the Artifact Refining Palace was learning the art of refining weapons... The scene was quite bizarre.

Faced with the bizarre style of the Artifact Refining Palace, Chu Xinghe felt helpless, but he still felt that although the Ouyang Lineage's actions were strange, at least they did not make things any more bizarre.

Otherwise, if they really let Nebula Spirit Cat develop into a chef, you never know what even stranger things might happen.

Just as Chu Xinghe was sighing, the eyes of everyone in the Ouyang Lineage lit up.

"Senior Brother Xinghe is so wise... How come we never thought of developing his career in the culinary field!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xinghe, for paving a completely new path for us!"

"Nebula Spirit Cat doesn't seem so bad as a cook after all..."

The Ouyang Lineage members were all excited at this moment.

The Ouyang Lineage disciples said, "It still has to be Senior Brother Xinghe..."

Our Ouyang Lineage only wants the Nebula Spirit Cat to learn weapon crafting... We're limiting ourselves because of our own expertise...

Let Nebula Spirit Cat learn to be a chef... Senior Brother Xinghe's suggestion is simply unbeatable!

Then, to Chu Xinghe's utter bewilderment, Ouyang Ming gave an order, "All the Nebula Spirit Cats of our Artifact Refining Palace will not only learn refining, but also cooking!"

As the saying goes, a weapon refiner who doesn't understand cooking is no good spirit cat!

The key is to make Lingmao kitchenware and appliances work together!

Chu Xinghe: "..."

Regarding Ouyang Ming's decision to have the Nebula Spirit Cat both cooking utensils and other skills without warning, Chu Xinghe simply said, "Whatever..."

Just imagine, in the future, a bunch of clever cats will be in your kitchen, tossing the wok while meowing at you...

This is fucking weird!

However, if the Ouyang Lineage's Nebula Spirit Cat's dual cultivation of cooking utensils was considered strange, then when Chu Xinghe stepped into the Dark Moon Palace, it was something that could not be explained by mere strangeness.

Recently, all the palaces have been cultivating Nebula Spirit Cats, so the Dark Moon Palace has become relatively quiet, lacking the lively atmosphere that was when everyone was studying elective courses.

But even if it's quiet, isn't the Dark Moon Palace a little too quiet?

Since Chu Xinghe entered the Dark Moon Palace, he hasn't seen a single person or even a cat!

Why are there absolutely no Dark Moon Clan or Nebula Spirit Cats in the entire Dark Moon Palace?

Chu Xinghe ventured deeper and deeper, finally spotting the first Nebula Spirit Cat's leg as he approached the area where the Great Sage resided.

That's right, right now in the middle of the road, you can clearly see a Nebula Spirit Cat dismembered... half of the Nebula Spirit Cat's body is in front, and one leg is in the middle of the road...

Chu Xinghe was completely stunned when he saw the dead Nebula Spirit Cat.

Have the Dark Moon Clan gone mad?

Did they kill the Nebula Spirit Cat?

This is their spirit beast... their lifelong companion, and you just slaughtered it like that? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Just as Chu Xinghe was enraged by the Dark Moon Clan's outrageous methods, the Chu Xinghe Nebula Spirit Cat, which had been dismembered, revived right under his nose...

The resurrected Nebula Spirit Cat glanced at Chu Xinghe, then meowed and happily ran away.

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Who am I? Where am I? What the hell did I just see?

The Nebula Spirit Cat... came back to life?

Therefore... the Nebula Spirit Cats of the Dark Moon Clan also inherited the Dark Moon Clan's curse... They can resurrect indefinitely?

Soon, the Dark Moon Clan proved to Chu Xinghe and his allies that their Dark Moon Clan Nebula Spirit Cat was truly invincible.

When Chu Xinghe arrived at the very center of the Dark Moon Palace, a hack-and-slash party, a favorite pastime of the Dark Moon Clan, was taking place.

The sight of the Dark Moon Clan lying on the ground, Nebula Spirit Cats, and Wei Xin standing in the center of the party, wildly hacking away with a large machete... it's beyond just whether the scene is bizarre or not...

Seeing such an outrageous scene, Chu Xinghe could only ask one question: Does our Vast Heaven Sect even have any normal people?
