I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 184: Chapter 157: Zhao Tiezui’s Furious Embarrassment

When True Monarch Cang Huo came out with a brand new red glazed palace lantern, Jiang Yuebai initially thought that True Monarch Cang Huo had completely ruined Little Green and made a replacement to fool her.

It wasn’t until she saw the familiar writing on the lantern that Jiang Yuebai confirmed that her Little Green had turned into Big Red.

”Luckily, your little lantern had a talisman from the Supreme Elder, so I could recast its body with Purple Fire Crystal. Now, when you want to absorb any Yin Fire, you don’t have to worry about it getting burned. Now, even if you smash it like bricks, it won’t break. You could even use it to hit people like a brick, especially since it’s got Earth Evil Fire.”

[I’m not a brick]

Holding the red lantern, Jiang Yuebai felt no joy. It actually felt ghostly and unsettling, and she still preferred the original green.

”So, is there no way to turn it back to green?”

True Monarch Cang Huo scratched his chubby stomach, ”If you feed it more green Yin Fire in the future, it’ll turn green again.”

Jiang Yuebai blinked, ”What happens if it absorbs fire of other colors? Can it turn to those colors as well?”

”Yes, that’s the principle. Also, this item was specially modified for you by Fuyi.”

True Monarch Cang Huo handed over a circular compass.

”Is this my Eight Arrays Plate?”

Jiang Yuebai took Little Green back into her Sea of Consciousness and received the Eight Arrays Plate.

It was still the brass base, but the original Military Array Map was gone, replaced entirely with silver star points like those on the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array Map.

The center contained a Tai Chi, and outside of the Tai Chi, two rotating rings were engraved with Eight Diagrams, resembling a compass used for geomancy.

”How do I use this?” Jiang Yuebai asked.

”All the arrays on this were personally inscribed by Fuyi. I was just responsible for smelting it. You’ll need to ask her for specifics.”

Jiang Yuebai nodded and bowed, ”Thank you, True Monarch. I take my leave.”

”Hey, hey, hey! Wait a moment!”

True Monarch Cang Huo took a quick step, blocking Jiang Yuebai, who bounced back after colliding with his belly.

”Hehehe, little girl, I heard you accidentally turned yourself into a Fire Evil Spiritual Body? That’s not good, you know. Fire Evil is fierce and hard to suppress, which will inevitably cause instability in your Five Elements. You need a compatible Fire Element Cultivation Technique to ensure a smooth cultivation.”

”As it happens, I have a very good Fire Element Cultivation Technique. Practicing it could make you dominate your peers and become invincible within the Foundation Establishment Stage. How about it? Are you interested?”

Jiang Yuebai looked at True Monarch Cang Huo, who was rubbing his hands with a grin that reminded her of a swindler, and frowned.

”I’d love to learn from you, but if I learn your cultivation technique, my master won’t be happy.”

True Monarch Cang Huo’s eyes lit up slightly, ”Ah, you straightforward child, just don’t tell him.”

Jiang Yuebai hesitated and shook her head, ”It’s not appropriate. How can I learn from two different lineages? It’s not right.”

True Monarch Cang Huo hurriedly said, ”Why are you such a stickler, child? I’m not asking you to call me master. I’m just offering you a cultivation technique. If in the future, my Heavenly Hero Peak gets bullied by Heavenly Sword Peak, just help me fight back. It’s that simple!”

”Really?”

True Monarch Cang Huo nodded, ”Really! I’ll talk to your master. You can learn without worry. When the time comes, use the technique I taught you to beat all the Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivators on Heavenly Sword Peak and show off the power of Cang Huo. Let Ling Guanghan see that he’s nothing!”

Jiang Yuebai was curious, ”What grudge do you have with Sword Lord Guanghan?”

True Monarch Cang Huo looked frustrated, ”Don’t pry into adult matters, just say whether you’ll learn or not.”

Jiang Yuebai’s gaze steadied, ”I admire straightforward and generous people like you the most, True Monarch. If you’re willing to teach me, I’ll learn, but...”

True Monarch Cang Huo anxiously scratched his head, ”Oh dear, what else do you want, girl? Just say it all at once!”

Jiang Yuebai saw firsthand the impatience typical of a Fire Spiritual Root cultivator from True Monarch Cang Huo, and she smiled, ”My body’s mutation was so sudden that the magical artifacts I had can’t be used anymore. I can only use fire-attributed artifacts. I’m impressed by your unparalleled mastery in artifact refining, and I was hoping you could help modify my artifacts.”

True Monarch Cang Huo puffed his belly with a smile, ”No big deal, hand over the stuff.” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Jiang Yuebai quickly divided the Thunder Shock Spear, Absolute Wind Saber, and other artifacts, along with Purple Fire Crystal and other refining materials, into storage bags.

”I mainly use the spear and saber for now and still lack a defensive magical artifact. If you have any clever ideas, perhaps you could refine some more interesting artifacts for me. My master often tells me that your artifact refining skills far surpass that of Madman Tianbao’s; it’s only because you’re low-key that your reputation isn’t as prominent.”

True Monarch Cang Huo’s chin lifted with pride, the corners of his eyes and brows showing a hint of complacency.

”Alright, you’re quite the sweet talker, young girl. For this Nascent Soul cultivator, refining artifacts for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you is a piece of cake. Just wait.”
