Chapter 108

The blue-robed girl sat cross-legged on the white jade platform; her expression was clear and serene. Inside her spiritual sea, a white light slowly revolved around the five spirits cauldron, only one step away from finishing its initial form.

Meng Qi had experience in refining a natal magic weapon. She moved a trace of spiritual sense and controlled her golden core to slowly float over the small cauldron. Threads of white light hung down from the core, slowly covering the cauldron below. Lin Yan's bamboo slip also flew in the same direction, pouring out another batch of white lights covering the small cauldron completely.

The small cauldron slowly turned in the air. Inside the spiritual sea below, spiritual aura steamed up and rushed into the belly of the cauldron. Meng Qi's spiritual sea quickly dried up by half. Her eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of spiritual senses was turned into the shape of a short knife, which then flew with the fastest speed and quickly engraved a neat 'Qi' character from her name on the surface of the cauldron.

The remaining aura in the spiritual sea surged wildly in an instant and came forth to surround the cauldron, bringing forth loud banging sounds similar to dozens of sledgehammers. The aura kept pouring, tempering the cauldron. When Meng Qi's spiritual sea finally dried up, the white light surrounding the cauldron also dissipated, revealing a bronze-colored body.

It's done!

Meng Qi's lips turned up into a smile, and her expression straightly relaxed. The next moment, she felt something cold on her lips, and a small piece of roundish fruit was stuffed into her mouth. The finger tucked together with the fruit was warm and dry, and its tip lightly touched her soft lips. Meng Qi subconsciously took a bite, and a refreshing sweetness instantly spread from the tip of her tongue, replenishing her empty spiritual sea.

"Meng Qi." Yun Qingyan stood in front of Meng Qi. The hem of his robe fluttered with the wind. He raised his hand and lightly pressed his warm palm on her forehead: "Do you remember the Lihuo Great Fire Array?"

"...yes." She nodded.

"Engrave it on the cauldron."

"...is it possible?" Meng Qi's eyes widened, and her mind suddenly jumped very fast. Right! Since she could engrave characters on the natal weapon, other things should be engravable too!

Without waiting for Yun Qingyan's further explanation, Meng Qi immediately sprung into action. Her spiritual sea had just been replenished, and it was now full of stronger aura. She controlled the white light, turning it into a knife once again before quickly drawing on the bottom of the cauldron.

However, this action consumed a lot of aura. Less than one-tenth of the array had been drawn when Meng Qi's spiritual aura was about to dry up again. A warm touch fell on her lips, delivering another sweet fruit into her mouth. The fragrant and slightly cool juice not only made her feel better, but even more importantly, it quickly replenished her spiritual sea.

Like this, after eating twelve fruits in a row, Meng Qi's spiritual sense landed the last stroke on the cauldron. The five spirits cauldron trembled slightly, and Meng Qi's spiritual sea dried up again. Another taste of sweetness came into her mouth, prompting Meng Qi to lick up subconsciously, trying to swallow the remaining sweet juice. Her soft tongue, however, touched something else than her lips, which was... Yun Qingyan's fingertips.

"I—......!!!"

"Concentrate!" Yun Qingyan said sternly. As if being scalded, he quickly withdrew his hand from Meng Qi's lips and hung it by his side. His robe sleeve fell down, covering his slightly twitching fingers. As if subconsciously, Yun Qingyan's thumb gently brushed the tip of the finger that Meng Qi's lips had just accidentally touched.
