Chapter 43: Lin Muyu Wants to Turn the Tables~

***

“Buried within this mountain are nearly ten thousand weapons harvested by predecessors of the Qinglan Sect. Most of these weapons are of common grade, and after selection, they still require day and night nurturing before they can be used.”

Senior Sister Susu’s gentle voice spoke eloquently.

“Of course, among them are also extremely precious weapons, innate spirit weapons.”

Hearing this, a flash of brightness appeared in Luo Chenxi’s eyes.

Spirit weapons? She was determined to get one!

“Spirit weapons?”

Lin Muyu’s small head sprouted big question marks.

What was this thing?

Lin Muyu swore that she definitely didn’t like to space out during class like university students in her previous life.

So this must be something Senior Sister Susu had never taught before.

“Spirit weapons are weapons that contain weapon spirits, extremely rare and precious, something you can encounter but not seek.”

Senior Sister Susu seemed to have heard Lin Muyu’s question and explained.

“You all must not excessively pursue spirit weapons when choosing weapons. Ordinary grade weapons, if suitable, can also display powerful strength.”

Lin Muyu nodded thoughtfully and pulled out a warm jade pendant from her bosom.

‘This jade pendant Su Wanqing gave me seems to be a spirit artifact? Are spirit artifacts equally precious?’

‘Do I owe Su Wanqing another favor?’

But Lin Muyu thought again, she seemed to have paid a great price to save Su Wanqing, although she was passively forced to pay it…

“My contribution is definitely worth more than this spirit artifact!”

Having figured it out, Lin Muyu gripped the jade pendant and muttered quietly.

“What? Does the little punching bag also have her sights set on these innate spirit weapons?”

Luo Chenxi, who was beside her, instantly moved close to Lin Muyu, saying with a face full of smiles.

“Isn’t this a spirit weapon? And why did you use ‘also’? Could it be that your target is these innate spirit weapons?”

Looking at Luo Chenxi who was almost pressed against her face, Lin Muyu asked back while instinctively wanting to retreat a few steps.

But her arm was grabbed by Luo Chenxi, unable to retreat even a bit.

Instead, as Luo Chenxi moved closer, their figures drew very close together.

“Spirit weapons are just the weapon-type spirit artifacts, right? Don’t tell me your target isn’t this?”

Luo Chenxi’s tone was low, with slight confusion in her eyes.

“Didn’t you say they were very rare? I’ll just pick a decent sword.”

Although Lin Muyu was also quite envious of these spirit weapons that seemed very precious, as cannon fodder, she had self-awareness.

This type of rare item was generally treatment only protagonists received.

She couldn’t mistake herself for a protagonist just because she’d spent time with two female leads.

She was just a small cannon fodder who wanted to struggle against fate…

Suddenly, Lin Muyu felt her head ache.

“Ow, why did you knock my head?”

The attacked Lin Muyu held her head, looking at Luo Chenxi with dissatisfaction, hoping for an explanation.

Senior Sister Susu, hearing the commotion, glanced at the two who were fooling around.

Hmm, not a big deal. Her nose was deaf, she couldn’t see.

The other disciples were also used to the two’s way of interacting, silently keeping their distance. After all, the last one who tried to watch the excitement had already been beaten into a pig’s head by Luo Chenxi.

“How can you be so unambitious? With your talent, you definitely have a chance to obtain a suitable spirit weapon.”

Luo Chenxi lowered her voice, with a tone of disappointment.

“Talent? Me?”

Lin Muyu pointed at herself with some confusion.

Aside from her spirit root mysteriously becoming a single spirit root, and she still didn’t know if there were side effects.

How could she, a cannon fodder, be considered talented?

“Believe in yourself!”

Luo Chenxi completely changed from her tradition of liking to bully Lin Muyu and actually started encouraging her?

Lin Muyu looked at Luo Chenxi’s sincere appearance and immediately got goosebumps all over.

Was the sun rising from the west?

As a woman determined to become an empress in the future, how could Luo Chenxi approach her just because she liked bullying Lin Muyu?

Her bloodline could mysteriously sense that Lin Muyu had a different kind of affinity that was very helpful to her aspirations.

Since she was her support, she wouldn’t allow Lin Muyu to have a defeatist attitude.

Although bullying Lin Muyu was indeed very fun…

Without reason, Luo Chenxi reached out and secretly pinched Lin Muyu’s delicate and cute face.

“?! Bad person!”

Lin Muyu decisively slapped away Luo Chenxi’s hand and retreated several steps back.

Her eyes were full of shock and dissatisfaction.

“As expected, your intentions aren’t pure! This clearly isn’t encouragement, you just wanted to find an opportunity to bully me.”

Lin Muyu pouted, saying very angrily.

“Oh my, how could that be? It’s all because you’re too cute, I couldn’t help myself.” Luo Chenxi returned to her cheerful appearance.

“Cute? I’m clearly handsome, okay…”

Lin Muyu’s tone was somewhat uncertain.

However, this also planted a small seed in Lin Muyu’s heart.

‘Spirit weapons? If I got one, could I get revenge earlier?’

For Lin Muyu, if a spirit weapon could help her get revenge, she would fight for it even at the cost of her life.

Before they knew it, everyone had walked into the mountain peak.

Here were scattered oddly-shaped strange stones, with various weapons inserted into the stones.

Lin Muyu, seeing this magical way of preserving weapons, said with some amazement:

“Why are the weapons inserted into stones?”

“These aren’t ordinary stones.”

Luo Chenxi looked at a stone up and down, examining it carefully. This seemingly ordinary stone had countless patterns carved on it.

The patterns even emitted a faint glow, though it wasn’t very noticeable under sunlight.

Luo Chenxi explained indifferently:

“These are called weapon-protecting stones. Inserting weapons into them allows them to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, preventing decay.”

“There’s even a chance for weapon spirits to be born, transforming them into innate spirit weapons, though the probability is as small as you not being bullied by me.”

“?”

Hearing Luo Chenxi’s infuriating statement, she hardened, her fists hardened.

She suddenly wanted to obtain a spirit weapon to thoroughly beat up Luo Chenxi.

‘Just you wait, once I get a spirit weapon, I’m going to bully back everyone who bullied me! No one can escape.’

Including Su Wanqing and Xinlian…

Of course, to turn the tables against Su Wanqing and Xinlian, she still had a very long road ahead.

As for whether she could turn the tables…

That would be very hard to say~
