After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 29 Crimson Flame Spear

In an instant, the entire weapon-refining shop fell into a deathly silence. The two apprentices noticed that their master's face had turned as black as ink, and quickly lowered their heads to stare at the ground, trembling with fear.

Oh no! Master is going to get angry!

Zhou Minglang's smile vanished instantly. He glared fiercely at Su Luo, and the pressure of his Golden Core stage aura enveloped her.

"You fool me?!"

This was the first time Su Luo had felt the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator. Fortunately, she had a protective talisman, so the impact was minimal, and she was still able to smile calmly.

"What is the boss doing? Does he intend to force me into submission?"

"you!"

The two apprentices felt an even stronger pressure, which terrified them, and they screamed inwardly.

"Aaaaaah! This female cultivator is too reckless! Master has such a volatile temper, and she still dares to talk back! Won't Master go crazy and destroy this place?! We're doomed!!"

The two men stood facing off menacingly for quite some time.

Seeing that the girl remained calm and composed under his pressure without changing her expression, Zhou Minglang couldn't help but feel puzzled. He stared at her closely and then noticed that she had a protective talisman on her body.

It seems this girl is no ordinary person. The magical artifact she's about to create is something I've never seen before, and she's also protected by a high-level protective talisman. He underestimated her.

However, just thinking about the slightly mocking expression on the girl's face made Zhou Minglang furious. "Aren't you playing me? You were the one who came to me to have a spirit weapon custom-made, and I even agreed, but now you're going back on your word!"

"I'm a customer, and I'm free to choose where I want to spend my money. It's my freedom to customize my spiritual weapon wherever I want! Just because I refused, the boss threatened me with intimidation? Is that reasonable? Is the boss trying to force a sale?!" Su Luo put her hands on her hips, and her words came out like a barrage of beans.

"Besides! I'm also wronged, okay! I came here happily to customize a spiritual artifact, and not only did nobody pay attention to me, but all of you treated your customers terribly! The boss was clearly acting arbitrarily and refused to make a spiritual artifact for me, but you turned around and went back on your word. What? Can a Golden Core cultivator just go back on their word like that? Can they bully those with lower cultivation levels? I've never heard of such a thing before! Should I go out and ask everyone now if Golden Core cultivators can be this unreasonable?!"

"you……"

Zhou Minglang was stunned by Su Luo's words, his mind went blank, and all his previous imposing aura disappeared.

This girl is so talkative...

With the oppressive aura dissipating, the two apprentices breathed a sigh of relief, clutching their chests as if they had come back to life.

but……

They belatedly recalled what Su Luo had just said and realized that she made a good point.

It's true that their attitude was bad; they were indifferent and even tried to kick people out. Then their foreman became interested in the drawings and, without thinking, wanted to take on the work. When he was refused, he went berserk. Seriously, their foreman is too capricious!

A dignified Golden Core cultivator actually used his power to bully a weak, pitiful, and innocent Foundation Establishment female cultivator—he's simply a demon!

One painful memory after another of being tormented by Zhou Minglang resurfaced, and in their anger, the two turned to glare fiercely at their master, raised their hands, and cheered for Su Luo in their hearts.

They completely forgot one thing: the "weak, pitiful, and innocent" female cultivator in front of them had just silenced their "demon" master.

Over here, Zhou Minglang was being lectured by Su Luo, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He gritted his teeth and looked completely bewildered.

"So, that's why you regret it?"

He's a top-tier weapon-refining master! Even though he has a terrible temper, many powerful sects and families are still vying to recruit him, hiring him as an elder or a distinguished guest!

He was just a little rude to this girl, his tone was a little cold, was it really necessary to get so angry? She wouldn't even let him make a magical artifact?!

So she deliberately piqued his interest, then deliberately changed her mind, just to get back at him?! This girl, she really won't suffer even the slightest loss!

"What is the reason for this? In your eyes, boss, is it nothing to be ignored, to be bossed around, to be ordered around at will, or to be threatened and intimidated?"

Su Luo sneered, "I have self-respect too! After being treated like this and not even getting an apology, how could I possibly still order a magical artifact from a shop like this?! I think I should just forget about it!"

After saying that, she turned and left, while silently counting down in her mind.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

"and many more!"

When Zhou Minglang saw Su Luo walk out without turning her head, he immediately became anxious and called out to her without thinking.

But when he called out to Su Luo, he didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stammer as he tried to find something to say.

"Well... just now, I did go a little... too far..."

"Ah!"

Su Luo waited for so long only to hear this, so she scoffed and turned away without looking back as she stepped out the door.

Zhou Minglang didn't expect this little girl to be so stubborn, so he quickly stretched out Er Kang's hand, "Wait a minute!"

To everyone's surprise, Su Luo acted as if she hadn't heard him this time, and her pace quickened instead, making Zhou Minglang sweat with anxiety.

No! That magical artifact is too special; we can't miss it! He absolutely must create it!

Seeing Su Luo walking further and further away, Zhou Minglang finally gave in. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and shouted, "You, you little brat! I apologize, I apologize, okay!"

The voice was so loud that everyone around heard it. They all stared wide-eyed at the scene, wondering if Boss Zhou had finally gone mad. He was actually chasing after someone demanding an apology!

Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately stopped, turned around with a bright smile, and showed no trace of her previous coldness and ruthlessness. "Alright!"

"..." Zhou Minglang suddenly felt very complicated.

Zhou Minglang, who had been arrogant for half his life, had never been criticized by a junior before! And in the end, he even had to swallow his pride and chase after the person to apologize for a novel magical artifact! He felt like he had just lost something…

Zhou Minglang seemed to have been hit hard, and sighed, "Girl, there are too many people watching outside, let's come inside and talk."

"Mmm. Okay then~"

Su Luo was very easy to talk to, and stepped in again with a smile. This time, unlike when she came in, everyone's eyes were on her.

The two apprentices, having witnessed what had just happened, couldn't help but give Su Luo two thumbs up.

They actually managed to get their notoriously short-tempered, demanding, stubborn, and heartless master to apologize! Amazing, absolutely amazing! He's practically their idol, sob sob!!

Su Luo was unaware that she had unknowingly gained two little admirers; she just felt that the way they were looking at her was strange.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the girl walking back, Zhou Minglang cleared his throat, suppressing his unease.

Now, following Su Luo's train of thought, he began to realize that what he had just done was indeed... perhaps... a bit too much.

The young woman came to order a custom-made spiritual artifact, but the owner ignored her, assuming that as a female cultivator, there was nothing worth ordering. He made his own judgment without even listening to her, and sent her away. Then, he turned around and saw some interesting blueprints in her hand, and naturally assumed she wouldn't refuse without even asking for her opinion. So, when the young woman refused, he immediately felt fooled and, enraged, used his spiritual power to intimidate her.

He's over 500 years old, yet he still uses his cultivation to bully a Foundation Establishment stage kid. That's really not right!

After Zhou Minglang figured things out, he spoke again, awkwardly and distantly, to Su Luo: "Girl, I did misunderstand you just now. I was in the wrong and was too arrogant. I will make it up to you, and I won't charge you for the magical artifact I made. How about we just let this matter go?"

Strictly speaking, Zhou Minglang's words weren't a formal apology. However, in the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme, and even if a powerful person makes a mistake, they won't care about the fate of a weaker one. Given his cultivation level and achievements, the fact that he could admit his mistake and even offer compensation was already an act of humility, and such a gesture was enough to leave others utterly astonished.

Not to mention, there were quite a few people outside watching curiously and discussing the situation. Zhou Minglang's two apprentices were also shocked, their mouths agape.

Su Luo naturally understood this principle, so she smiled and indicated her acceptance.

"Since the boss has said so, I won't be too picky. There are still many aspects of this spiritual artifact that I need to explain. Why don't we sit down and have a proper discussion?"

"it is good."

Zhou Minglang quickly led Su Luo to the innermost tea room, gesturing for her to sit down. Then, he glared at her and ordered one of his disciples, "Zhang Mo, go and brew a pot of tea."

After snapping out of his daze, Zhang Mo's face lit up with excitement, and he hurriedly agreed, "Yes!"

Immediately, he ran towards the back kitchen like the wind.

Before Zhou Minglang could give any instructions, Luo Zizhong volunteered, "Master, you're probably going to chat for a while longer! Why don't I go buy you some tea and snacks!"

Zhou Minglang, being carefree, was about to ask why he needed to buy that thing when he suddenly remembered that Su Luo was a female cultivator. He paused, then took out a high-grade spirit stone from his storage bag and tossed it to him, saying generously.

"Go to the most famous pastry shop and buy a lot! Also, pick up some delicious spirit fruits while you're at it!"

Little girls love to eat these!

Luo Zizhong's eyes lit up even more, and he ran out excitedly, "Yes!"

With no one inside the shop, Zhou Minglang decided not to serve customers for the time being. He hung a sign on the door that read "Temporarily Closed," and slammed the door shut without paying attention to the hesitant expressions of the people outside.

Afterwards, he went into the inner room and asked Su Luo a lot of questions with great interest, all of which were related to the magical artifacts on the blueprints.

Su Luo wasn't impatient. She answered based on the blueprints and explained the working principle of the magical artifact she designed in detail, especially emphasizing its internal structure and usage.

Zhou Minglang nodded repeatedly as he listened.

He had seen many offensive magical artifacts, but they were all limited to swords, spears, axes, and the like—too ordinary. The kind of magical artifact Su Luo was introducing was far too novel! If it could truly be manufactured, it would be an epoch-making artifact!

Fortunately, he realized his mistake in time and apologized, otherwise he would have missed such a good opportunity! Once he creates this magical artifact, it will be a rare treasure that is unique in the world!

Finally, Zhou Minglang remembered a question, "By the way, girl, does this magical artifact have a name?"

"name?"

Su Luo paused for a moment, her eyes darted around, and her lips moved slightly, "Let's call it Crimson Flame Spear."

However, unlike real guns in the real world, her gun doesn't fire bullets, but crimson flames!
