When Lu Wenjun had escaped here back then, she hadn't brought much with her.
The sect was really too poor, she couldn't bear to watch it.
So this time, when she went back, she swept up all kinds of things.
Of course, these were all her own belongings.
If she didn't take them away, they would fall into other people's hands.
Moreover, after she returned, she discovered that she had several more younger brothers and sisters.
She had originally been her father's most favored daughter, but after these younger siblings were born, her position changed.
Moreover, because of the engagement, she had left the Yao Realm for several years.
Over those years, the changes at home were significant.
If things continued like this, her status would only drop further.
There was nothing she could do about that. Without long-term interactions, how could she demand that others' feelings remain unchanged?
Most importantly, her birth mother had long since passed away.
Without her mother by her side, and with a group of concubines whispering at her father's bedside, his attitude had already changed.
If she continued to stay at home and used various methods, she could still "secure favor".
But she didn't want to compete with her siblings and a group of concubines for that little bit of her father's affection.
Wuxuan Sect was a bit poor, but the atmosphere in the sect was friendly and harmonious.
If she had never stayed at Wuxuan Sect, or if she had been unhappy there, she might've gone back.
But she wanted to remain at Wuxuan Sect.
So taking advantage of this trip back, while her father still felt guilty toward her, she swept up a large pile of things.
If she hadn't been shocked by the sect's changes, she would've distributed the items long ago.
She had prepared gifts for everyone.
The Yao Realm and the cultivation world had their differences, but also many similarities. The things she brought were all suitable for everyone.
What Xin Jinrui received was a small black stone, with silver light flickering across it.
This was a piece of Mo Ye Flow Crystal Stone. When fused into a weapon, it would greatly increase the weapon's flexibility and hardness.
What Qin Yiwei received was a piece of medicinal jade. It was said to be something obtained from a certain high-level yao beast and could be used for refining medicine.
Jiang Yunnuan received a small hammer, very suitable for knocking and forging, and extremely sturdy.
What Chu Jingzhuo received was medicine that could repair spirit roots.
—Lu Wenjun previously didn't know that Chu Jingzhuo's spirit root had already been repaired.
What Meng Fanze received was a beast fang. The powder ground from this fang could heal wounds.
As for Mu Shiyue, she received some honey.
Lu Wenjun had originally wanted to give Mu Shiyue spirit stones. After all, in the past, master's favorite thing had been spirit stones.
Spirit stones could be used for cultivation.
And giving spirit stones required no particular thought.
But during this period of time, master had changed too much. She had also asked master to help plant the seed. If she gave spirit stones, it would be too perfunctory.
In the end, she gave the honey she had prepared for herself to master.
This honey was extremely rare and incomparable to ordinary honey.
After consumption, it was of great benefit to the body and would greatly increase spiritual power.
Even in her family, not everyone could receive this honey.
The one in charge of raising bees had been a servant left behind by her mother, which was why she could obtain this honey.
But she didn't expect that after taking the honey, master didn't eat it herself. Instead, she handed it to Qin Yiwei and asked her to distribute it for everyone to drink.
Lu Wenjun was stunned, master's change was too much!
If it was the master from before, with such good things, she would've definitely kept them for herself to eat slowly.
She didn't expect that now she would be so generous!
Looking at the others' calm expressions, it was clear that such actions weren't uncommon at all.
Instead, the cubs gathered around, wanting to get more delicious food.
Surrounded by fluffy, soft, baby-like cubs, Lu Wenjun could only start rummaging in her storage bag.
Looking at the little junior sister being surrounded, Xin Jinrui lowered his head to look at the Mo Ye Flow Crystal Stone in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he went to find Jiang Yunnuan.
"Third Junior Sister, can you help me with something?"
"Tell me."
"I want to upgrade my spirit sword. Can you help me?"
Jiang Yunnuan was immediately startled, "You want me to help you upgrade your spirit sword?"
"Yes."
She instantly frowned, somewhat troubled, "Eldest Senior Brother, it's not that I won't help you, but you also know I've only just started refining artifacts. My level isn't high enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you."
During this period, she had been learning artifact refining. Under the guidance of that book and master, her progress had been rapid.
With the sect having acquired many materials recently, she used those materials to refine some small items, and their effects were quite good.
Moreover, master often gave her all kinds of imaginative ideas. She felt like her progress had been significant.
Given time, she would definitely be able to become a high-level artifact refiner!
Artifact refiners were divided into apprentice refiners, then beginner, intermediate, and high-level artifact refiners.
Of course, beyond that were Artifact Masters and Artifact Grandmasters.
But she didn't have such lofty ambitions and didn't dare to think that far.
Being able to become a high-level artifact refiner would satisfy her.
At present, she could at most be considered a beginner-level artifact refiner.
Although she had refined quite a few items, she wasn't that formidable yet.
Upgrading Xin Jinrui's spirit sword was no small matter.
She had thought about helping before, but as her skills improved, she realized that upgrading a weapon was much more difficult than forging one from scratch.
When forging a weapon from nothing, everything was planned by oneself, and even if it failed, it's still acceptable.
But upgrading an already existing weapon multiplied the difficulty several times!
At least, she didn't think that with her current level, she could help Xin Jinrui upgrade his spirit sword.
Besides, this was his life-bound spirit sword. If anything went wrong, she couldn't compensate for it!
Facing Jiang Yunnuan's refusal, Xin Jinrui frowned, "It's fine. As long as we cooperate well, it will be much simpler."
"Eldest Senior Brother, even if it's simpler, it's still very difficult!" Jiang Yunnuan said helplessly. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but with my current level, I'd better not ruin things for you."
Xin Jinrui lowered his gaze, resolute, "Don't worry, I'm the spirit sword's master. As long as I properly cooperate with you, the difficulty of the upgrade will decrease."
"Even if the difficulty is reduced, I still don't have any confidence in it!" Jiang Yunnuan replied just as firmly. "I can't do something like this without confidence!"
She couldn't act rashly without being sure.
If she destroyed Eldest Senior Brother's spirit sword, she wouldn't know how to atone.
"What's going on?"
Hearing the dispute here, Qin Yiwei walked over.
Jiang Yunnuan explained the matter to her, "Eldest Senior Brother wants me to help him upgrade his spirit sword, but my level hasn't reached that stage yet!"
"Upgrade the spirit sword?"
Qin Yiwei's gaze fell on Xin Jinrui, "Eldest Senior Brother, how do you want to upgrade it?"
Xin Jinrui's hand moved slightly. Her gaze immediately fell on his hand, and she instantly frowned, "You want to fuse both the Dian Canghe Crystal Stone and the Mo Ye Flow Crystal Stone into it?"
Qin Yiwei's tone changed instantly.
Jiang Yunnuan was also shocked, "No way? You really have that much confidence in me?!"
