The rough and low-pitched friction sound seemed particularly cold in the quiet night.
Time passed slowly, and Chu Liuyue always maintained this posture, as if he was tireless.
But in fact, her arm was already so sore that it almost didn't feel like her own anymore.
Now I just rely on my willpower to continue.
Only when she really couldn't bear it anymore, she would stop and rest for a while.
But most of the time, she was still polishing this bronze Yuntian Sword.
The night passed quietly.
The next morning, when the morning light fell on Chu Liuyue, she finally put down the sword in her hand, stood up and stood on the star stone, and stretched her body for a long time.
There was a crackling sound.
Only then did Chu Liuyue feel like she was alive.
After a moment of relaxation, she picked up the bronze Sky Sword again, wanting to see the results of the night's polishing.
Then, the expectant expression on her face suddenly froze.
Because this bronze Yuntian Sword had only a thin layer polished off!
Compared with its generous sword body, it is simply negligible!
If it weren't for the obviously smoother grinding marks, she would have almost suspected that the sword had not changed at all!
She opened her eyes slightly in disbelief, looked at it over and over again, and took a while to accept the fact with difficulty.
—I spent a whole night polishing it all night long, but I didn’t make any substantial progress on this bronze Yuntian Sword!
"Girl, what's the rush? You think a good sword can be forged so easily?"
Taizu seemed to have anticipated Chu Liuyue's reaction and spoke slowly.
Chu Liuyue let out a breath.
"I thought."
Now, she finally understood what Taizu said before, that this process requires a lot of strength and energy.
This was harder than she had expected.
"Don't worry, yesterday was only the first day. You are not very skilled yet. After you practice more times, you will know how to exert force, and you will naturally become much faster."
Taizu consoled him.
"Thank you Taizu for your guidance.
Chu Liuyue put away the bronze Yuntian Sword and the Star Stone, planning to come back at night, and was already prepared for a long-term battle.
No matter what, she must forge this sword!
Chu Liuyue returned to Qingyuan Mountain, cleaned up briefly, and went to the medicine garden to take care of it for a while as usual.
Without the influence of Hunyuan Sand, these medicinal materials grew very smoothly.
However, she found that the senior brothers and sisters seemed to be very busy.
In the past, they often came to the medicine garden to take a look, but today Chu Liuyue stayed alone in the medicine garden for a long time, and only saw a senior sister when she was leaving.
After chatting with her senior sister for a few words, Chu Liuyue realized that they were preparing for the sect conference in a month.
After the news came down, all the disciples of Chongxu Pavilion were ready.
They all knew that this time, almost everyone came to Chongxu Pavilion!
The Nine Star Alliance has been coveting the position of their four major sects for a long time. This conference is brought forward, and their push is obviously indispensable.
Only if they are strong enough and perform well enough at the sect conference can they maintain Chongxu Pavilion's current status.
As a result, everyone entered a state of diligent cultivation.
Chu Liuyue came to Yuchisong's residence alone.
When she arrived, he was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, with a chessboard placed on the stone table in front of him.
The chessboard looked familiar.
Chu Liuyue took a closer look and realized that the chessboard was given to Yuchisong by herself.
She was still young at that time and found jade material for carving by herself.
But because the jade material was hard, she spent a lot of effort to get it done, and some details were very rough.
Even when she thought about it later, she felt that the thing was really horrible.
She thought he had thrown the chessboard somewhere long ago, but she didn't expect that he still kept it intact.
"Master."
She softened her voice.
Yuchisong came back to his senses, and there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not looking at the chess game on the chessboard just now, but was thinking about something.
"Liu Yue? You're here."
Chu Liuyue walked over and looked at Yuchisong carefully, feeling slightly startled.
In just one night, Yu Chisong seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
His eyes were red and black, as if he hadn't slept all night, and he looked very haggard.
Obviously what happened yesterday dealt a huge blow to him.
Chu Liuyue felt a faint pain in her heart.
She quickly lowered her eyes:
"Master, I came today because I have something to give you."
Yuchisong looked at her doubtfully.
Chu Liuyue took out some things from the Qiankun Ring one after another.
Yu Chisong didn't react at first, but after he opened two boxes in succession, he immediately realized something and looked at Chu Liuyue in shock.
"This is-"
"These are the things you sold to Baicaolou before. I got them back for you."
Chu Liuyue said while taking out the last few things.
A small mountain quickly piled up at the feet of the two of them.
"Except for the ones that have been resold, the rest are all here." Chu Liuyue said.
Yuchisong looked at those things with a dazed expression and his lips trembled slightly.
"Liu Yue, you don't have to do this."
Chu Liuyue said:
"I don't know what you are reluctant to part with, so I try to bring them all back. These things may be just ordinary things to others, but to you, they may be very important. Since I have the ability, I can help you. It should be."
Yu Chisong's throat seemed to be blocked by something. It took him a while to look at Chu Liuyue with a complicated expression:
"How do you have so much money?"
He knew that Chu Liuyue spent Mu Qinghe's money on her first trip to Baicao Tower.
But now that she has moved out of Mu Mansion, and basically has no contact with Mu Qinghe, she must not spend Mu Mansion's money anymore.
And these things added up are worth a lot of money.
"You don't have to worry about this. If you can't afford these, I won't help you bring them back."
After Chu Liuyue finished speaking, she saw that Yuchisong still seemed worried, so she could only tell Yuchisong about her previous blackmailing of Jian Fengchi.
Of course, she only briefly mentioned it, but did not say anything specific.
However, Yu Chisong was still shocked after hearing this.
He only knew that Jian Fengchi had always loved playing, but he didn't know that he was so good at it and made so much money in minutes!
But after listening to what Chu Liuyue said, his mood did feel much better.
Looking at the things piled up at his feet, he was silent for a long time and finally said:
"In that case, I won't shirk my duties as a teacher. Liu Yue, I owe you a favor as a teacher."
Chu Liuyue shook her head gently:
"Master, you and I, master and disciple, are going too far to say these things."
