Xu Qingtong was taken aback by Du Siwen's words. Geng Metal qi is refined into treasures. It has little to do with the attributes of one's spirit roots!
He was just about to tease Du Siwen when it suddenly occurred to him that his senior sister was probably worried there was too little Geng Metal qi in this mountain ravine. If she refined some of it, there would be much less left for him!
At this thought, Xu Qingtong could not help feeling touched. In this treacherous world of cultivation, his senior sister was probably the only person who considered his needs at every turn!
"Senior Sister, you don't need to worry about there not being enough Geng Metal qi! We're only at the mouth of the ravine. I reckon it'll be denser farther inside! If you don't believe me, why don't we go a little deeper?" Xu Qingtong said.
With Xu Qingtong having seen through her thoughts, Du Siwen looked slightly embarrassed. Pouting, she muttered, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
With that, she ignored Xu Qingtong and headed straight into the ravine.
They walked another half a li or so inward, and sure enough, the Geng Metal qi grew denser.
"Well? Wasn't I right?" Xu Qingtong said smugly.
Du Siwen rolled her eyes at him and snapped, "Stop showing off and hurry up and refine it!"
With that, she found a spot and sat cross-legged, placing the Water-Fire Heaven-Shaking Halberd before her, then began refining the Geng Metal qi.
Xu Qingtong grinned smugly and found a place to sit cross-legged as well.
Two days later, Xu Qingtong's Rushou Seal suddenly flashed with golden light. Then its radiance blazed, and the Rushou Seal became a middle-grade treasure!
Putting away the Rushou Seal, he glanced at his senior sister again.
