Chapter 1249 Mui's First Formation... Slime Pit?
Not to mention the talent of his youngest disciple that had far surpassed his expectations, she had also managed to create her first formation deserving of the abysmal rank during the past few months... And although it wasn't attached to one of the blobs of slag metal that she created through blacksmithing, it still ended up becoming rather well known among the formation masters and younger disciples of the sect.
All for the simple reason that her formation happened to have been created by her time at a training ground frequented by the younger disciples of the sect and caused the training ground in question to change into a space filled to the brim with some kind of slimy substance that seemed to have been created by the formation from absorbing the surrounding qi in the air.
Although this hadn't ended up causing any real damage to the younger disciples who had happened to be training at the training ground at the time, it was still a rather memorable experience for them to suddenly find themselves covered in slime. Even more so when some of the more curious ones among them realized that eating the strange slime increased their cultivation speed.
In the end, the incident had caused quite an uproar among the formation masters of the sect, as they had rushed over to investigate the strange formation and slime.
However, they could not recreate the formation and after an elder looked into the matter, the training ground was ultimately closed off and the slime was gathered on a regular basis for consumption. Not just because it was found out that eating it increased the cultivation speed of those below the Core Formation Realm, but also because it tasted like strawberry pudding.
And when made to look like pudding, it didn't look any different, thus resulting in the rather unique new dessert that was thoroughly enjoyed by the younger disciples of the sect for its taste and effect on their cultivation speed...
Remembering the time when he had first learnt about this, he himself had also gone to check out the formation that had been created by Mui.
However, even with his strength, he couldn't figure out how it worked or see through it.
"Indeed, things created at the abysmal rank are unpredictable. At least she ended up creating something that ended up benefiting the younger disciples of the sect. Even if I do feel a bit bad for those disciples left in charge of gathering the slime created by the formation..." Muttering this to himself as he shook his head, Xuan Hao's divine sense drifted over towards the relatively normal training ground close to the outer sect disciple abodes that had now turned into one of the more important locations of the sect.
At the moment, a dozen or so unlucky disciples could be seen working inside the former training ground. Doing their best to gather up a large amount of slime that would later be turned into desserts for the rest of the younger disciples to enjoy, while they themselves struggled to move around inside the red colored slime.
Rumble~
Not too far away from where these disciples were doing their best to gather the red slime, Xuan Hao also noticed that a group of elders were hard at work digging into the hard to damage ground of the Seventh Star Peak.
"This is my new artifact! Look, look!" Not noticing the strange look of her senior brother, Mui proudly showed off her newest creation. Looking for praise from her senior brother now that she had finally managed to create an artifact that wasn't rough around the edges like her past artifacts. Showing just how much she had improved over the past few months.
"New artifact... No... Don't tell me... The missing mystic grade spiritual metal that I prepared for-"
"Hehe, if you are talking about the shiny metals that you left behind when leaving earlier, I made sure to add them! Look! It's all shiny now, like small stars dancing across the surface! Hehe~" Hearing her senior brother mention mystic grade spiritual metals, Mui's eyes instantly started shining as she said this before he could finish what he was about to say. Guessing that the mystic grade spiritual metal, he should be talking about was the shiny metals that made her artifact so pretty.
"Shiny? Small stars...?"
Hearing the words of his little junior sister, Bai Ning could not help taking a closer look at the spherical object that she was proudly holding up to him.
Indeed, there were several small lights dancing across the surface of the mostly black metal ball... And after examining them, Bai Ning realized that there were three distinct colors of light, each representing three different spiritual metals...
"Mui..."
"Hehe, I know, it's awesome! Ah! I have to show it off to master as well!"
Whoosh-!
Before Bai Ning even had a chance to say anything or even think of stopping this junior sister of his, Mui had already rushed out of the forge in direction of her master's palace to show off the artifact that she had created, something that she did every time she created something she thought was good.
"I... I really need to find a way to deal with this junior sister of mine..." Seeing this, Bai Ning could only slump down on the ground with an exhausted expression on his face.
Although he had managed to hide away most of the precious spiritual metals from this junior sister of his with the help of the other elders of the Blacksmithing Hall, he had the unfortunate fortune of having her snoop around his forge in search of pretty looking metals every now and then.
Normally, it wouldn't cause him to lose anything that precious, but this time around, he had truly ended up losing out to his little junior sister. Only having left for a few minutes to get everything in order for forging back then, and she had ended up grabbing the most precious spiritual metal in his forge...
