Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Sparrow Spirit Scepter and Granite Zither
Ye You was busy handling state affairs, while Qin Sisi became somewhat leisurely and focused on practicing forging techniques.
Half a month later, under Xiao Meng’s meticulous treatment, her body fully recovered, and she went to the Forgemaster Guild to take the examination.
She was currently a Fourth-level Forgemaster and felt her skills could achieve Level Five; she had just been too busy with expeditions recently to take the exam.
The examination went smoothly. Not only did Qin Sisi forge the required items within the allotted time, but when these forging items were placed into the testing Spiritual Artifact, the artifact left a crescent moon mark, indicating that these items met the standards of Level Five.
On two of the forging items, in addition to the crescent moon, half a star appeared, indicating Qin Sisi’s forging skills were already close to Level Six.
Receiving the Level Five Forgemaster medal, Qin Sisi was very happy and decided to work harder upon returning, striving to quickly obtain the Level Six Forgemaster status.
Most members of the Panhu family had moved back to Divine Dog City, which was originally their hometown. Now that the war was over, they should return there to rebuild their homes.
Only Pu Chen and Yun Wang stayed in Fengge Wang City with a small group of guards to continue assisting Ye You in managing the affairs of Fengge Wang City.
Yun Cheng also returned with Xiao Meng to the Muyin family residence in Fengge Wang City. The armies of the Seven Major Families began to return to their homeland one after another, leaving only the Clan Leader and some senior leaders to prepare to attend Ye You’s accession ceremony.
After many people left, the Panhu Family’s Mansion seemed a bit deserted. However, Qin Sisi originally liked peace and quiet and did not feel any discomfort.
Just as she returned, the servant Xiao Pei quickly approached to tell her that Master Shuoyu had sent someone to invite her over.
Qin Sisi was a bit curious and couldn’t guess what it might be about, but she always had a fondness for Master Shuoyu and Teacher Ru Lin, so after a little tidying, she gladly went over.
Upon meeting Master Shuoyu, Qin Sisi learned that so many people were working hard and contributing for her. The magical and precious materials, each was invaluable, each was a token of heartfelt intention.
Master Shuoyu smiled and said, "Originally, during the forging process, no one is allowed to watch. However, since this weapon is for you, observing the forging process might help you become more familiar with it, making it easier to use in the future. Also, regarding the instrument, you should be more skilled than I am, so when forging the instrument, you need to assist me. This way, the instrument will have more vitality."
Master Shuoyu’s words made Qin Sisi extremely happy. Even for Master Shuoyu, a Seventh-level Forgemaster, no one was allowed to watch during the forging process, lest they learn the techniques.
Allowing her to watch on-site not only helps her understand her future weapon and instrument better but is also a guidance on her forging techniques.
A good teacher produces outstanding students, observing and learning from a master’s live operation is far better than working in isolation for a long time.
For the next month, Qin Sisi left early and returned late, focusing on observing and assisting Master Shuoyu in forging, becoming even busier than Ye You, who was entangled with official duties.
Over time, Ye You couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed; it had been a long time since he had been intimate with Qin Sisi. Each time she returned, she was already very tired and would sleep immediately after bathing. He couldn’t bear to disturb her, so he could only stroke her hair and sigh quietly.
He comforted himself internally, saying it was okay—once the new weapon and instrument were completed, once he became Sage Ruler, once they got married, they could be together every day.
A month later, under the great efforts of the most eminent Forgemaster in Demon Sacred Realm and with Qin Sisi’s full assistance, weapons and instruments that gathered several top-tier materials from Demon Sacred Realm finally came into being.
Weapon: Sparrow Spirit Scepter, the scepter’s body was forged from Dingkun Gold, integrating the spiritual power of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, the entire weapon gleaming in gold, extraordinarily splendid.
A gracefully elegant Moon Spirit Golden Peacock coiled around the scepter, the tail feathers presenting dazzling patterns on the scepter’s body, with round patterns at the tips of the tail feathers inlaid with differently colored gemstones, shimmering with splendor, exceedingly remarkable.
The top of the scepter’s body was precisely the head of the Moon Spirit Golden Peacock, using black gemstones for eyes and small diamonds inlaid at the top of the golden feathers on the head—both vivid and luxurious.
The overall design of the Sparrow Spirit Scepter was akin to Ye You’s Phoenix Scepter; Master Shuoyu informed Qin Sisi that this was Ye You’s intent, hoping to share everything with Qin Sisi.
Instrument: Granite Zither, the zither’s body was made from Ten-thousand-year Spruce Wood, the strings cut from Dingkun Gold. Such thin strings wouldn’t use much material, thus not affecting the design of the Sparrow Spirit Scepter.
The name Granite was chosen by Qin Sisi herself to express gratitude to the Panhu family and Muyin family for providing materials.
Feeling excited, Qin Sisi took the Granite Zither in her hands, gently plucked the strings, producing crisp, pleasant, melodious, and dynamic sounds, a true masterpiece.
The successful forging of the Sparrow Spirit Scepter and Granite Zither put many people at ease.
Ye You had been waiting for this outcome, insisting that only after these items were in Qin Sisi’s hands would he announce the date of the accession ceremony throughout Demon Sacred Realm.
This legendary forging process concluded, Qin Sisi thanked Master Shuoyu and brought the Sparrow Spirit Scepter and Granite Zither back to the temporary residence at the Panhu Family’s Mansion shared with Ye You, happily sharing her excitement with Ye You.
That night, Ye You finally fulfilled his wish, spending a night in intimate embrace with Qin Sisi.
The next day, he proclaimed to the world that the accession ceremony would be held in a month, where he would officially become the Sage Ruler of Demon Sacred Realm.
At once, people’s hearts were set at ease, the whole world jubilant; Demon Sacred Realm finally ended years of turmoil and warfare, ushering in a prosperous era of peace and safety.
When Jiu Ge received Qin Sisi’s letter, Midair City was in the midst of a falling down of fluffy snowflakes, piece by piece, fluttering down, apart from white, no other color could be seen, vast and boundless like an illusion place, yet extraordinarily cold.
Jiu Ge spread out his hand, and that light piece of paper was immediately swept away by the cold gale, soared and spiraled for a moment before disappearing, as if turning into a pure white snowflake.
The Fairy Snow Zither was the only gift he had given Qin Sisi and was their only connection. He once thought the Fairy Snow Zither would always be there, not expecting it to so easily break, destroyed under the Heavenly Tribulation.
Could it be fate?
Jiu Ge gently murmured, looking desolately forlorn.
Qin Sisi, Midair City is snowing again; winter is the most beautiful time in Midair City, where jade trees and crystalline branches are covered in silver and the snow qiong flowers bloom.
When it snows in Fengge Wang City, will you think of me?
