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

Chapter 28 I regret it

The next day, Su Luo got up very early. She excitedly used her art student skills to draw the design she had in mind before leaving the small courtyard and heading towards the bustling center of Qiang City.

Qiangcheng is a rather special town. Because it is close to the human realm and far from the major sects, it is controlled by cultivation families. As a result, apart from the scions of these families and independent cultivators, very few sect disciples come here.

This is why Su Luo is so at ease here and doesn't wear a veil.

Her request wasn't high; she just wanted to avoid running into the main characters from the novel!

Su Luo searched several shops and asked several locals, and received the same answer from each one. Only then did she find the most famous weapon-refining shop in Qiang City.

The shop was not large and was very simple. There was no one standing at the door to greet customers. If it weren't for the "Heavenly Fire Refining" sign hanging above the main entrance, Su Luo would have thought she had gone to the wrong place.

Before even entering, Su Luo heard the constant hammering sounds coming from inside the shop. Looking inside, she saw two lightly dressed men engrossed in forging magical artifacts, with a tall, strong middle-aged man standing beside them, seemingly supervising them. He would grumble and curse whenever he was dissatisfied with something.

"You two idiots! Use more force! Didn't I teach you that?!"

"And you! Didn't I tell you how to inject spiritual energy?! You've forgotten everything you learned!"

"Get to work properly, all of you! If you don't finish the smelting task today and don't meet my requirements, you're all fired!"

Su Luo: "..."

It seems he's that high-level weapon refiner; he's got quite a temper...

When she first inquired, people praised the high-level weapon refiner, saying he was incredibly skilled and many people sought him out to refine spiritual weapons. They also subtly warned her that the man had a rather bad temper. Now it seems they were being far too tactful; a temper that could be described as…not very good?

But for the sake of her magical artifact, Su Luo finally went inside. However, after a while, no one paid any attention to her, so she had to speak first, "Ahem, is the boss here?"

"I'm the boss."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Minglang, the owner of the weapon-refining shop, looked up. His eagle eyes swept over her sharply, and seeing that Su Luo was just a young female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, he asked coldly.

"Custom-made spirit artifact or repaired spirit artifact?"

Su Luo's smile remained unchanged. "Boss, my surname is Su. I'd like to customize two spiritual weapons. The price is negotiable."

"Two?"

Zhou Minglang didn't hear the second half of the sentence, but noticed the quantifier Su Luo used. He immediately assumed she was a sword cultivator. For some reason, he frowned deeply, his face full of impatience.

"Little girl, you've come to the wrong place. If you want a sword, go to the spirit weapon shop. They have plenty of spirit swords there. I don't sell spirit swords here!"

With that, he waved him away without any politeness, saying, "Get out, I'm busy!"

Then Zhou Minglang turned around, transformed into a vengeful ghost, and bombarded the two young apprentices, "Who told you to stop?! Get back to work! You're not allowed to go home until you've made a spiritual weapon that satisfies me!"

"Yes! Master!"

The two apprentices shrank back in fright and quickly got to work.

And just like that, Su Luo was kicked out before she could even say two words. They even pretended she didn't exist, busy with their own tasks, leaving her standing there awkwardly all alone.

Su Luo could no longer laugh. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the boss's back, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

If it weren't for the locals' assurance that Qiangcheng and the surrounding towns didn't have any other high-level weapon refiners as skilled as the boss, she would have definitely turned around and left!

That temper of hers is just unbelievable...

She knew that capable people were usually arrogant and looked down on others, but this person was far too arrogant; he didn't even wait for her to finish speaking.

but……

Su Luo thought about it again and remembered the blueprint she had brought, which made her feel a little better.

The more arrogant a weapon refiner is, the more interested they are in novel magical artifacts! Once she sees the blueprints in her hand, she's convinced this arrogant fellow won't budge! Then… hmph!

Su Luo comforted herself inwardly, then composed herself again. Instead of leaving, she shamelessly spoke up once more, "Boss, you've got it wrong. I don't want a sword. I just need you to make this magical artifact from the picture."

As she spoke, she took a piece of paper out of her storage bag, unfolded it, and pointed it at the man.

"Tsk."

Zhou Minglang glanced at it impatiently, then his eyes widened suddenly and lit up.

"What's this?!"

He was instantly drawn to the blueprints and took a few steps forward to reach for them in Su Luo's hand. However, Su Luo nimbly stepped back a few paces, avoiding his hand, and tilted her head as if puzzled.

"Boss, what are you doing? Are you trying to steal my things?"

At that moment, Zhou Minglang only had the blueprint in his eyes and didn't care about anything else. He said anxiously, "You've misunderstood! I just want to see that blueprint!"

"Oh, I see. You should have said so earlier." Su Luo suddenly realized and immediately handed him the blueprints, appearing very easy to talk to.

"Then go ahead and read it, remember to return it to me when you're done."

Zhou Minglang immediately took the blueprint, which clearly depicted a rather strangely shaped magical artifact. The artifact was shaped like the Chinese character "厂" (chǎng), and looked small and convenient. Combined with the accompanying text, it was truly remarkable.

Zhou Minglang's eyes lit up as he looked at it, praising it repeatedly, "I've been a weapon refiner for over a hundred years, and I've never seen such a strangely shaped spiritual weapon! It's so interesting! It's practically a revolutionary spiritual weapon! And the drawing technique is superb, it looks just like the real thing!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Su Luo accepted the praise without any modesty. It was worth getting up early to draw the design; her art skills were definitely a plus!

Zhou Minglang praised and examined it for a while before finally raising his head with satisfaction. "What an interesting magical artifact! What do you want to do with it?"

"Well..."

Su Luo smiled and took the blueprint from his hand, holding the talisman she had just taken out of her storage bag in her other hand, but did not answer him immediately.

Zhou Minglang, however, was completely oblivious, his eyes fixed on the blueprints in Su Luo's hand, filled with eager excitement. "Aren't you going to make a magical artifact? Tell me about its internal structure and operating principles, and I'll make it myself!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and, with a smile, prepared to start making preparations.

I don't know...

"I'm relieved to have the boss's approval. But..."

Su Luo responded with a smile, but her next sentence plunged Zhou Minglang into despair: "I regret it, I don't want to work here anymore."
