Chapter 41 Testing Power
Chapter 41 Testing Power
The day before I left.
When the appointed time arrived, Su Luo immediately went to the shop to find Zhou Minglang, whose two apprentices were already waiting for her at the door.
Luo Zizhong, with a fawning smile, ran over, "Master Su, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you!"
He'd seen it all these past few days; as long as Cultivator Su was around, their master wouldn't get angry at them, no matter how serious the matter was! Cultivator Su was their lucky star! They had to treat him well!
"Today is delivery day, so of course I have to come."
Su Luo looked around the shop but didn't see Zhou Minglang. She blinked and asked, "Where's your master?"
Luo Zizhong said, "Master is inside. He is testing your magical artifact in the smelting room."
"Okay, take me there."
Zhang Mo, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, grew anxious and pulled Luo Zizhong aside, saying, "Cultivator Su, I'll take you there!"
Brother Su was someone he idolized, and he wanted to personally take his idol there! This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Caught off guard, Luo Zizhong couldn't help but glare at Zhang Mo, "Senior brother, you go about your business, I'll take cultivator Su there!"
Zhang Mo refused to back down, "I remember Master told the two of us to bring the cultivator Su in, not just you alone!"
When he mentioned "the two of us," he emphasized the pronunciation.
"you!"
Luo Zizhong was furious that his usually tongue-tied senior brother had suddenly become so eloquent.
As they looked at each other, it was as if electricity was crackling between them.
Su Luo stood to the side, watching the two of them go back and forth, her lips twitching slightly. "What's going on?"
Finally, she was so eager to see the finished Crimson Flame Spear that she let the two of them take her inside.
When I entered the smelting room, Zhou Minglang was holding the Crimson Flame Spear in his hand, admiring it with obvious delight, for an unknown amount of time.
Zhang Mo and Luo Zizhong said in unison, "Master, Cultivator Su has arrived!"
Su Luo walked over with a smile, "Boss Zhou, is it ready?"
Zhou Minglang turned around and waved to Su Luo, his eyes filled with excitement, "You're here! Come and give it a try!"
"it is good."
Su Luo took the Crimson Flame Spear in her hand, gripped it, and felt the unique feel of a cold weapon. The weight was just right, and there was a slot in the back seat where she could put talismans.
Zhou Minglang pointed excitedly ahead at a piece of iron about half the size of a door. "Quick! Put the Flame Burst Talisman in there and test its power!"
If he could buy the Fireball Talisman, he would have tried it long ago!
Su Luo did as instructed, taking out the Flame Burst Talisman and placing it in the gun's slot. Then, she supported the recoil with her left hand, raised the gun with her right hand, aimed forward, and squinted at the iron block.
The moment Su Luo pressed the switch with her right index finger, a small spark shot out of the gun's nozzle at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, then expanded several times in the air before violently colliding with the metal block and exploding.
With a loud "boom," the iron block cracked open under the heat of the flames and the impact of the explosion.
Su Luo lowered her hand and sighed with some regret: "The iron block isn't broken, but it seems its power is still a little lacking."
Fortunately, her Fireball Talisman can be fired continuously for three or four minutes. If the power is not enough, the quantity will make up for it.
But after she finished speaking, there was no response.
Su Luo turned to look at the three people who were still staring blankly at the iron block and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you guys?"
Zhou Minglang was the first to recover. He clapped his hands and suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes flashing with astonishing light.
"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Great, great! Even better than I expected, amazing!"
Zhang Mo walked over to the iron block and examined it carefully. He even touched it, but then hissed from the heat and quickly withdrew his hand.
He barely managed to scald his hand, then looked at Su Luo with excitement, exclaiming, "Cultivator Su! This magical artifact is amazing! It can destroy refined gold in one go!"
Su Luo was taken aback, "Refined gold?"
Luo Zizhong, who was standing nearby, quickly explained to her: "Refined gold is the hardest metal, and it is extremely rare. The armor made from it can even withstand attacks from cultivators three levels higher!"
As he spoke, he leaned closer, staring longingly at the Crimson Flame Spear in Su Luo's hand. "I didn't expect the Crimson Flame Spear to be so powerful. It can destroy refined metal with a single attack! This magical weapon only requires talismans and doesn't even need to use spiritual power. It's so convenient!"
Zhang Mo also came over, staring at the Crimson Flame Spear with a dreamy look on his face.
"Yes! This Crimson Flame Spear could even crack the top ten of the Azure Continent's spiritual weapon rankings! I actually participated in the creation of such an unparalleled spiritual weapon! My God!"
Su Luo was surprised, "So powerful?"
She thought it was just an ordinary piece of iron used for testing, but it turned out to be the hardest type of refined gold! Boss Zhou is really generous!
Zhou Minglang put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and said with a proud expression, "Hmph! Don't you even know who did this?!"
Zhang Mo and his companion were practically drooling over the Crimson Flame Spear.
Su Luo: "..."
She now fully understood the power of the Crimson Flame Spear and realized she had underestimated its strength. But the three men's gazes were burning hot; they were practically staring right through her hands!
Just then, Zhou Minglang gave Su Luo a stiff smile, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Girl, let me try this gun. I won't take advantage of you; you can take anything you like from my shop!"
Upon hearing this good news, Su Luo quickly handed him the gun.
"Come on in, don't be shy!"
As soon as Zhou Minglang got his hands on the Crimson Flame Spear, he grinned from ear to ear. He turned around and imitated Su Luo's posture, shooting at the piece of refined gold. With a "bang," the flames struck the refined gold again, producing a loud sound.
"This is truly a wonderful thing..." Zhou Minglang was deeply impressed, stroking the Crimson Flame Spear with obvious delight.
If the Crimson Flame Spear weren't only applicable to Flame Burst Talismans, he would have loved to make several for himself! In this world, only talisman masters are suited to such a weapon.
Seeing him touching it again and again, reluctant to give it back, Su Luo rolled her eyes and suggested with a smile.
"Boss Zhou, this is your masterpiece, the result of your painstaking efforts! One try wasn't enough, was it? No problem, the fire blast talismans inside can be used for a long time, even if you shoot a hundred or so times. Why don't you try a few more times? Putting aside everything else, you should at least try a few times before you can penetrate the adamantite, right?"
This is a rare opportunity, so let Zhou Minglang try a few more times, and she can get more spiritual artifacts! Anyway, she's about to leave Qiang City, so it wouldn't make sense if she didn't take advantage of the opportunity to get as much stuff as possible from a high-level artifact refiner before she leaves, right?
Zhou Minglang was clearly tempted by her words, but hesitated. "A Flame Burst Talisman that can be used for a long time must be at least a mid-grade talisman! Such talismans are expensive and rare. Wouldn't it be a waste if I tried it a few more times?"
Su Luo waved her hand, telling him not to worry, "It's okay, it's okay, I still have a Fireball Talisman."
She didn't care how many times she was hit, since she could still draw fireballs. Now, she no longer felt dizzy when she drew fireballs.
Zhou Minglang's eyes lit up, and in the end, his heart was moved and his hesitation was overcome. He nodded heavily and said to Su Luo in a grand manner.
"You're right! I really need to test it out! After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'll shoot a few times later, and you can take a few magical artifacts!"
Other magical artifacts can be remade, but the Crimson Flame Spear, of which there is only one in the world, may be lost forever if we miss the chance to use it a few more times!
Zhou Minglang's words struck a chord with Su Luo. Her wicked scheme had succeeded, and she smiled like a cat that had stolen some fish.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou! You're very generous!"
When she turned around, she saw Zhang Mo and the other man still staring at her longingly, hesitant to speak, looking pitiful.
“Sister Su…”
"I, we..."
Thinking about how attentive the two men had been to her during this time, Su Luo finally softened and agreed, "After Boss Zhou finishes his trial, if the Flame Burst Talisman is still usable, you can try it too."
These words delighted the two rather old cultivators, who jumped up in joy.
"Ahhh! I want to try it too!"
"That's wonderful! Cultivator Su, you're such a kind person!"
Su Luo smiled, and seeing how happy they were, she swallowed back the second half of her sentence, "Anyway, your master will use spiritual artifacts to compensate me."
Let them be happy a little longer, oh, she's so kind...
