Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1033: An Unexpected Solution

Lin Mu's words had certainly invoked their interest as both Jing Wei and Jing Luo had learned by now that he often had ideas that worked surprisingly well. It was an approach that could not be thought by them easily.

"Please go ahead." Jing Wei spoke.

"The issues is with the formation array being inadequate with its control, right? What if we replace that with someone who can manually control fire?" Lin Mu asked.

"I thought that too. But for a high level operation like this, we would need someone with fire elemental affinity that also has great skill with it along with refinement. The combination of those three is difficult to get.

Neither I nor Jing Luo have fire elemental affinity." Jing Wei replied.

"I have someone exactly like that." Lin Mu spoke.

"Oh? Really? That would be great." Jing Wei couldn't help but say.

"Still, we can't bring them here due to the restriction on entry." Duan Ke doused their expectations.

"Oh the person I'm taking about is already here. Or rather than a person…" Lin Mu then gestured towards Duan Ke.

She was confused but then saw that Lin Mu was actually pointing towards something else on her lap.

Jing Luo understood it immediately and his eyes lit up.

"Of course! He can do it too!" Jing Luo exclamation.

"Why are you looking at the beast?" Duan Ke questioned.

Jing Wei had the same question. 

"Little Shrubby is the perfect to do it all. Not only is does he have a great affinity to fire he is also used to finely controlling fire." Lin Mu answered.

"This little beast? He barely has a cultivation base though." Duan Ke said.

"Ahahah! I told you before, he's not so little." Jing Luo chuckled.

Jing Wei was still confused, but his interest was certainly piqued.

~yawn~

Little Shrubby woke up from his nap after hearing Lin Mu call for him.

"Little Shrubby, time to work." Lin Mu spoke.

"Alright~" Little Shrubby said lazily.

~Shua~

Under the surprised eyes of Duan Ke and Jing Wei, the beast jumped from her lap and rapidly enlarged some distance from them. From the small size of a cat, Little Shrubby became taller and taller as his size increased.

By the time he stopped growing, he was almost touching the roof of the hall.

~shua~

And along with him returning to his full size, his aura and cultivation base was also released, shaking some of the objects kept in the hall. 

"Whoa…" Duan Ke was awed by the sight of it.

She could still find the beast rather majestic. There was a faint heat coming from Little Shrubby as well that raised the temperature of the entire hall in just a few seconds. 

Little Shrubby glanced at the woman in whose lap he was napping until a second ago and gave a little smile. It was another thing that the smile looked more threatening instead with multiple sharp fangs on display.

'The beast… I've never seen quite like it. This aura… its almost on the same level as that immortal beast. And it's not even at that realm yet.' Jing Wei thought to himself.

"Little Shrubby is at the Dao Shell realm?!" Duan Ke was stunned after sensing his cultivation base.

"Of course he is. He'll be sufficient to help us. He cooks a lot, so has good control over his fire." Lin Mu praised.

Jing Wei and Duan Ke were a little taken aback after hearing that Little Shrubby's control came from cooking rather than refinement, but they didn't disregard his skill. They wanted to see if it really was that good considering Lin Mu had said that.

"Alright, guess we can work with this." Jing Wei agreed.

Lin Mu nodded his head and all of them headed to the forge while Duan Ke went to do her own side of work. Tracking down the invaders' traces would take some time for her too, and she would need to do a lot of preparations before that.

Finally, in the forging hall, Jing Wei got to witness the skill of Little Shrubby. It was better than he had expected and with just a little more practice and directions, it increased even more.

That was exactly the level they needed for the forging and they could finally start.

The work that they needed to do was divided according to the skill of everyone, with Lin Mu getting the part for assistance in refinement. 

Jing Luo was going to directly help in forging and will prepared the additional resources to be thrown in during the process.

And Jing Wei of course, was going to be the one doing the main part while Little Shrubby will provided his flames. Jing Wei also activated spirit Qi gathering arrays so that all of them could stay in their best shape for as long as possible.

With all the preparation done, they could finally start.

Though Lin Mu was surprised to find out that the weapon that Jing Wei was making was actually half way there already. Jing Wei had gotten stuck at that part and was practicing using other materials so as to not damage the main materials.

Jing Wei was making a sword, as that was the weapon he was best versed in and also the most proficient in.

The flames raged in the forge for six days and night straight, during which sounds of metal clanging, hammers hitting and coals crackling could be heard.

All of them got into a flow and poured their hearts into what was going to be the first ever Immortal Weapon of the Xiaofan world. Lin Mu greatly looked forward to it as Xukong had told him that if they really managed to make it, he might end up getting to see some immortal Qi!

Immortal Qi was something incredibly difficult to come up in lower worlds like these, and only those at the Immortal realm had the chance to refine it.. Even those in the Immortal Ascension realm would only come into contact with it when they ascended into a higher world.
