Chapter 958: Chapter 597: Mi Yue’s Daughterly Body (2)

"No, no, no, Master Mi Yue, that’s not what I meant."

"Whether it’s weapons or a Refining Hammer, bigger isn’t always better, and more functions isn’t always better either."

"Otherwise, if I embedded all kinds of weapons onto an iron ball in a reasonable way, and whenever I needed that kind of weapon against the enemy I just used that one—wouldn’t that make me invincible?"

"Yeah, it can even be used like that!"

Mi Yue’s eyes lit up. "Brother Lu, is this the method you came up with? I never thought of that before."

"Er..."

"No, that was just an example. A powerful weapon isn’t something you get just by piling all the functions together."

"But we can totally switch to a different way of thinking."

"For example..."

Lu Lin picked up a high temperature resistant brick from the table beside him. Mi Yue used this thing to hold some high-temperature tools. It wasn’t very heavy, but its material was definitely hard as rock.

"Like this."

The firebrick in Lu Lin’s hand, under his vigorous rubbing, turned into tiny Sand Grain that slowly fell down.

"Like this?"

Mi Yue stared blankly at the sand falling in front of him, eyes full of confusion.

What does this mean?

Can you make the most powerful star artefact just like this?

Brother Lu couldn’t be lying to him, right?

Seeing that Mi Yue hadn’t reacted for a long time, Lu Lin could only sigh inwardly. So this is why Cui Baohe didn’t want to take Mi Yue in.

It looked like he could refine powerful Star Devices, but that was just him working off his predecessors’ experience. When it came to creativity, Mi Yue was still a bit lacking.

"Master Mi Yue, did you notice anything?"

"I saw a firebrick, and the firebrick being rubbed into Sand Grain by you."

"Very good. Then what if we reverse this process?"

"Reverse it? Turn Sand Grain back into a firebrick?"

"Yes. Keep going. Besides firebrick, what else can these sand turn into?"

"Turn into what? Turn into what..."

Under Lu Lin’s patient guidance, Mi Yue seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn’t catch the key point.

Lu Lin didn’t rush him from the side either.

Compared to helping Mi Yue refine a Star Device that could fulfill the mission, it was far more important if he could break through the limits of his own thinking.

Don’t be fooled by how Longyuan World’s cultivation level is advanced—any random person out there is at least on the level of a Titled King on Blue Star. All of that is just the benefit and experience accumulated over countless years of development.

But in terms of knowledge and breadth of view, these people from Longyuan World can’t even compare to some ordinary people in the Human Federation.

Even a primary school students with slightly more exposure knows more than an ordinary person from Longyuan World.

Every day, all kinds of ads, information, news, tournaments, events, notices, would appear before each federation people in an overwhelming flood, tailored to their needs.

Baptized by this environment for ten or twenty years, the total amount of information they receive is far more than what an ordinary person in Longyuan World gets in several hundreds of years.

More cognition means more nodes.

The more nodes there are, the more they can link together to form a terrifying Internet, raising the thinking level of federation people.

Conversely, people in Longyuan World might surpass federation people in this or that aspect, but on this particular point, they really fall short.

"Reverse it... what can it make? Could it make a completely different firebrick?"

"Yes. Keep going, Master Mi Yue. What else can these sand do?"

Lu Lin encouraged him as he picked up the Refining Hammer lying on the ground with his left hand.

"Could it also make a sand-structured Refining Hammer?"

Mi Yue muttered in confusion, then suddenly his eyes snapped wide open, bursting with dazzling brilliance.

"If it can make a Refining Hammer, then it can make a forging platform, and also weapons, dagger, gun, sword and glaive, it could even make a miniature Flying Boat, a pagoda, demon beasts..."

Mi Yue kept voicing his thoughts, his eyes shining brighter and brighter.

He stretched out his hand and caught a small pinch of sand rubbed off by Lu Lin, using Soul Power to control these sand and turn them into the shape of a knife, then very quickly into the shape of a bunny...

As more and more sand gathered in his hand, the shapes it could morph into also increased, and the complexity grew higher and higher.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I get it now."

"Thank you."

In his excitement, Mi Yue threw himself onto Lu Lin in one go.

Er...

Lu Lin froze.

After spending so much time with him, this was the first time he found out that Master Mi Yue had this sort of kink. This really counted as forcing a man, didn’t it.

Lu Lin really didn’t want to be this close to another big grown man. He reached out to push Mi Yue away. "Mi... huh?"

This time, Lu Lin was truly stunned.

His body.

His mind.

All went into a frozen state.

Who am I.

Where am I.

What am I doing.

Being pushed hard against Lu Lin’s chest, Mi Yue also reacted in an instant.

No.

To be precise, she also reacted.

"Lu, Brother Lu, you’re... you’re still not letting go."

Mi Yue’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

Lu Lin hurriedly took his hands off Mi Yue’s chest and stepped back.

He didn’t expect that at this moment Mi Yue would also shyly let go of the arm she was hugging Lu Lin with. Because it was so sudden, she actually stumbled forward.

"Careful."

Lu Lin called out, and instinctively reached out to wrap his arm around Mi Yue’s waist.

This time, although Mi Yue didn’t fall, the blush on her face deepened, red to the point that it looked like it might start dripping.

After quite a while, Mi Yue’s emotions finally calmed down a bit. She kept rubbing the hem of her clothes, not knowing how to talk to Lu Lin.

Call him a lecher? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But she was the one who pounced on him first just now.

Call him a scumbag?

Nonsense, Brother Lu hadn’t even known she was a girl before this.

Right now, in the already dry and scorching Refining Room, the two stood motionless, the mood shifting back and forth.

Lu Lin was a bit embarrassed too.

He’d accidentally touched that part of a girl; even if he had a hundred mouths he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly.

"Um..."

"Um..."

The two spoke at the same time.

"You go first."

"You go first."

They said the same thing again.

Caught off guard by the coincidence, Lu Lin laughed. "Forget it, I’ll go first. Master Mi Yue, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to offend you just now. I’m sorry."

Lu Lin bowed honestly to Mi Yue.

"Brother Lu, you’re not to blame for this. It’s my fault for not telling the truth." Mi Yue lowered her head, not daring to lift her eyes to look at Lu Lin even once.

Ahem, ahem, what the heck is all this.

Lu Lin hadn’t expected a scene like this to one day happen to him, but he was a man after all, so of course it had to be on him to resolve it.

"Master Mi Yue, why did you hide your name and come to Refining Star Mountain to be a Refiner?"

"That’s... because of my father."

"Your father? Is he also a Refiner?"

"Yes. My father is Refining Star Mountain’s Sect Master, Zou Butong. Because of him I became very interested in the Refiner profession. Even the toys I played with as a child were all Refining Hammers or other related things."

"Later, when I told my father I wanted to enter Refining Star Mountain to become a Refiner, he told me to join the assessments and training just like ordinary outer sect disciples, and whether I could successfully enter would depend on my own effort."

"I originally planned to go to the main peak to report to him after the Refining Star Treasure Appreciation Conference was over."

Mi Yue said softly.

When she was young, she had basically lived with her mother in a village at the foot of Refining Star Mountain. For some reason, Zou Butong had never publicly acknowledged the existence of their mother and daughter.

Of course, this definitely wasn’t because Zou Butong had a second, third, or fourth household and was afraid Mi Yue and her mother would find out. There were other reasons.

Before Zou Butong became Saint Lord, he himself had been a Refining Master adept at both Heart of Fire Refining and Heart Refining. Under his influence, Mi Yue had been interested in Refining from an early age. Later, forty years ago, when Mi Yue was seventeen, she chose to come to Refining Star Mountain to take the test. Although Zou Butong hadn’t stated his opinion, he still supported Mi Yue in giving it a try.

He hadn’t expected that this attempt would bring Refining Star Mountain a new Refining Master.

Mi Yue’s Refining Talent was even stronger than Zou Butong’s in those years. After several decades of systematic study at Refining Star Mountain, combined with that small but extremely crucial bit of Refining Talent, Mi Yue naturally became the brightest star of Refining Star Mountain’s current Reward Treasure Conference.

"Brother Lu, that’s all about me. Why don’t we... continue studying this firebrick?"
