Upon hearing this, the blacksmith shop owner put away the blueprint in his hand and said with a smile, "Rest assured, our blacksmith shop has some fine metals and high-quality materials. It will be enough to forge the parts this young master needs."

"As long as you can make them. Once they're finished, deliver them to our courtyard. This is where we live." After Ghostly Charm told the owner where they were staying, he looked toward Bi Zihan to see whether he had anything else to add.

"There are two things I need to remind you of. The forged parts cannot have the slightest deviation. Also, things like blades must be sharp and clean, without any stains or flaws." Bi Zihan's voice was exceptionally serious.

If the finished items differed from the blueprints, even slightly, they might not fit together during assembly. The three sets of component blueprints he had provided were all weapons he had found extremely handy in his previous life, and the three types he was most accustomed to using.

But being handy and familiar did not mean he could only use those three. There were many things he could make, and just as many weapons he could wield. If he had to name the most representative one, he would undoubtedly choose the sword. Moreover, his swordsmanship was quite impressive.

It was just that compared to these compact items, a longsword was inconvenient to carry around. That was why he had not chosen to have one forged at the blacksmith shop.

"Young Master, rest assured. I will forge everything strictly according to the blueprints, and there absolutely will not be any deviations in the finished parts. I will also deliver all the parts to your residence before noon tomorrow." The blacksmith shop owner patted his chest, his expression solemn.

The blueprints were extremely detailed. As long as he followed them exactly, there was simply no way for any deviations to arise. That was why he dared to make such a guarantee before Bi Zihan.

Bi Zihan merely nodded lightly without saying anything more, then headed straight out of the blacksmith shop. He had already said everything he needed to say. As for whether there would truly be any deviations in the parts, he would naturally find out when he assembled them.

Hu Liena and Ghostly Charm had no intention of lingering in the blacksmith shop either. They left as well and began purchasing things they would need for their future life in Heaven Dou City.

The things Bi Zihan and Ghostly Charm bought were simple: a set of brand-new bedding, towels, and other miscellaneous items. Hu Liena, however, bought rather a lot. The three of them could not carry it all, so they put it directly into a Soul Tool.

About four hours later, after Bi Zihan bought some fruit and a dagger, the three of them headed back to their courtyard.

The moment they entered the courtyard, they saw Bibi Dong sitting quietly within it, with Yue Guan standing behind her. In front of Bibi Dong were two admission notices from Moonlight Pavilion.

When Bibi Dong saw them return, she said with a faint smile, "Zihan, Nana, these are your admission notices. Keep them safe yourselves. Moonlight Pavilion starts in three days, so don't be late."

"Mother, Teacher, we understand. We definitely won't be late," Bi Zihan and Hu Liena answered respectively.

"I'm not worried about Nana, but I do need to remind you, Zihan. You can make some friends at Moonlight Pavilion. And that wickedness in you—you must get rid of it no matter what." Bibi Dong reached out and stroked Bi Zihan's head, a faint smile on her face.

"Wickedness? What wickedness?" Confusion appeared in Bi Zihan's eyes. Did he have wickedness in him? How did he not know? Seeing his expression, Bibi Dong gave a soft laugh and patted his head. "You don't need to know whether you have that kind of wickedness in you. You only need to know that you should study properly at Moonlight Pavilion."

"Oh, oh, I understand, Mother." Bi Zihan pretended to be in pain and covered the spot where she had patted him.

"I didn't even use any strength. What are you hurting for? Stop fooling around in front of me." Though Bibi Dong said that, a smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

"Alright, you two need to study well at Moonlight Pavilion. There are still matters to handle at Spirit Hall, so I need to return first." Bibi Dong rose with a faint smile, rubbed Hu Liena's head, and left the courtyard with Yue Guan.

Bi Zihan watched Bibi Dong's departing figure, blinking involuntarily. After Bibi Dong had completely left the courtyard, Bi Zihan took out the dagger and a piece of fruit, quietly peeling it. He speared the peeled fruit with the dagger and brought it to his mouth.

Watching Bi Zihan's movements, Hu Liena could not help asking, "Zihan, don't you need to arrange your room?"

"I only have one set of bedding. I can just spread it over the bed when the time comes, so there's nothing to arrange. Besides, the room is very clean. There isn't even a speck of dust, so it doesn't need cleaning either." Bi Zihan's voice was casual. He only needed the room for rest. Besides, he liked a simple style. As long as the room was clean, there was no need for too many arrangements.

"Alright, then I'll go arrange my room." Hu Liena looked over the surrounding rooms, picked one, and walked straight inside.

Bi Zihan continued eating his fruit as he casually said, "Ghost Elder, come with me to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan tomorrow. I want to challenge the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and test my strength."

"Young Master, you're going to challenge the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? But you're no match for that old dragon, and they have other elders from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as well. If you get hurt, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to His Holiness the Pope." Ghostly Charm felt his brows twitching uncontrollably. He also understood why Bi Zihan had asked whether he could defeat Yu Yuanzhen.

"It's fine. You don't necessarily have to fight Yu Yuanzhen. I'm only going to spar with the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Yuanzhen and the others probably won't bully the young and attack me. You just need to watch from the shadows. If Yu Yuanzhen and the others try to attack me, take me and leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Bi Zihan waved his hand dismissively, his voice casual.

He had the necklace's enhancement effect. If Yu Yuanzhen truly attacked him, he could simply activate the enhancement buff and have Ghostly Charm take him away.
