Li Wei has now been accepted as Chen Mu Mu's disciple, and she usually assists Chen Mu. She also manages the automated production workshop most of the time.
She came to find Chen Mu because she had something to report, but she found that there was a fire in Chen Mu's room. She thought that Chen Mu was in danger, so she rushed in.
When Li Wei rushed into the room and saw Chen Mu's calm expression, she quickly realized that she had misunderstood and showed an embarrassed expression.
"Master, are you alright?"
Chen Mu shook his head, about to ask her what she wanted, when he noticed she was staring straight at the Little Blue in the sky, her face filled with shock.
" Li Wei, let me introduce you! This is my companion Fire Spirit, Little Blue."
Fire Spirit are extremely rare creatures, so it's normal for Li Wei to be surprised. However, Chen Mu sensed a hint of awe in Li Wei's surprise.
After a while, Li Wei recovered, swallowed, and spoke tremblingly.
"Master, are you saying... this Holy Spirit is your companion?"
After Chen Mu absorbed Little Blue's original flame through the Five Elements Chaos Talisman, Little Blue had already merged with his sea of consciousness. In short, Little Blue was a part of Chen Mu's body, much closer than a partner.
However, the relationship was too complicated, and Chen Mu was too lazy to explain, so he simply nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
" Holy Spirit? Do you call these natural Fire Spirit the Holy Spirit?"
Judging from Li Wei's attitude, Little Blue seems to have a very special status.
"Yes, Master, the Holy Spirit is the nemesis of the dead and holds a supreme position for us commoners."
I've only heard about this kind of thing from the older folks in the village; I've never actually seen it.
Li Wei looked at Chen Mu with even more respect in her eyes.
She originally thought she was lucky enough to have a powerful weapon refiner as her master, but now it seems that her master's background is even more profound than she imagined. Even Holy Spirit can become her master's partner. He is really amazing.
"I see!"
After a moment's thought, Chen Mu quickly figured out the key point.
First of all, as a spirit born from flames, Little Blue has a natural ability to restrain evil creatures like the undead, so killing undead of the same level should be very easy for him.
On the other hand, he can also absorb the Death Spirit Yin Power to strengthen himself.
Chen Mu could sense that after Little Blue absorbed the Death Spirit Yin Power from the cloth bag, its power was increasing extremely rapidly, more than a hundred times faster than its usual natural evolution speed.
Normally, someone like Little Blue, who is born with a spiritual body, would evolve extremely slowly if he relied on natural growth. It is very likely that tens of thousands of years would pass without any significant change in his strength.
After Little Blue and Chen Mu formed a symbiotic relationship, Xiao Lan's evolution speed did indeed increase significantly due to Chen Mu's influence. However, it would still take at least several hundred years for him to reach Chen Mu's original Huai Saint Level strength.
However, judging from the current situation, if Little Blue continues to absorb Death Spirit Yin Power, Little Blue might surpass him in strength within a few years.
The Netherworld is truly a blessed land for Fire Spirit like Little Blue!
No wonder Little Blue stopped sleeping as soon as she saw the bag containing the Death Spirit Yin Power and ran out to snatch the food from Chen Mu's mouth.
"Don't reveal Little Blue's existence to anyone for now."
After considering for a moment, Chen Mu gave Li Wei his instructions.
"Yes! This disciple understands."
Li Wei nodded emphatically, her expression one of utter certainty.
She could tell that Little Blue, this Holy Spirit, hadn't fully matured yet. If the news leaked, it might attract the pursuit of the Undead King, so she naturally couldn't let it slip.
However, the Holy Spirit grows extremely quickly in the Netherworld. She believes that it won't be long before Little Blue becomes a true Holy Spirit, and then their Iron Soul City will no longer have to fear the Undead Tide.
After Chen Mu learned of Little Blue's value, he suddenly found her much more pleasing to the eye and stopped caring about Little Blue Little Blue the Death Spirit Yin Power. He then waved to Little Blue.
"Come back!"
Little Blue knew she had no chance against Chen Mu. Although she pouted in dissatisfaction, she still leaped into Chen Mu's brow.
" Li Wei, what brings you here?"
The automated production workshop is very busy. Chen Mu knew that Li Wei wouldn't come looking for him unless there was something wrong, so he specifically asked her.
"The equipment that the Yan Lineage requested has all been completed!"
I'm here to confirm with you when would be a more suitable time to arrange delivery.
During these three months, Li Wei witnessed what true mastery of craftsmanship and skill meant, and what it meant to be almost divine.
The automated production workshop built by Chen Mu has repeatedly amazed her, until now she is numb to it all, only having an endless fascination and longing for Rune Technology.
"Then let's arrange it three days from now! I'll personally escort them then, and we can also take a stroll around Nine Yama City!"
Actually, there was still a full month until the delivery date agreed upon with Yan Qingshu, so he wasn't in a hurry to deliver the goods.
However, Iron Soul City has been consuming Yin Stone too quickly lately. Yan Qingshu's 20% deposit has already been almost entirely spent, so he plans to deliver the goods ahead of schedule, receive the final payment sooner, and have more resources to continue developing.
On the other hand, fearing the danger of his identity being exposed, he had never dared to go to Nine Yama City before. Now that his strength had broken through, he felt it was time to go and see Nine Yama City.
"Okay! I'll go arrange it now."
After receiving Chen Mu's confirmation, Li Wei bowed and left Chen Mu's room.
A while after Li Wei left, a slender figure emerged from the shadows.
" Mingye, can you please stop appearing and disappearing so mysteriously? It makes it seem like we're having an affair."
Chen Mu had noticed long ago that Mingye had returned shortly after Li Wei barged into his room, but she hadn't come out until now.
"Um... I'm used to it."
Mingye felt slightly embarrassed. The killer instincts cultivated since childhood couldn't be easily changed. She knew she didn't need to be so cautious, but she just couldn't help it.
Chen Mu waved his hand helplessly, no longer dwelling on the issue.
"So, did you find anything worthwhile on this trip?"
During this time, Chen Mu focused on upgrading Iron Soul Village into Iron Soul City and expanding his power, while Mingye went out to gather intelligence, especially information about her own background.
Mingye took a scroll from his pocket, placed it in Chen Mu's hand, and sighed.
"I've gathered a lot of information about the three great Imperial Court this time, but I haven't found any trace of my background. I've compiled all the information and written it down here. Take a look!"
After you've finished reading, I'll discuss the next steps with you.
"Okay! Don't be impatient, we still have time."
Chen Mu comforted Mingye with a word, then unrolled the scroll and began to read it carefully.
