...

That day, Liu Jun and Little Phoenix Butterfly were traveling and arrived at the original starting point, the Green Shade Territory, and entered a tavern.

The bard was boasting:

"I once saw the gods on the day the Celestial Kingdom was established, watching them roam the sea drinking, carrying torches and running across the world, the top three Divine Spirits received three God Chalices."

"Later, the first Light God used the Golden Chalice to forge the Angel's Golden Halo, which floated overhead and became its treasure. Nowadays, angels continually imitate it; the Angel's Golden Halo has become standard for angels."

"The second, the Earth God, for his husband, built a new Death Raft with the Silver Chalice, so huge it was like a land city. It is the Silver of the Earth, rumored to be called: Nibiru, which means 'ferry' in the giant language."

"The third is the Wind God. The four of them have yet to settle the score, so they did not forge a chalice. They commenced the Bronze Chalice War for Divine Authority, attempting to surpass the Wind God and become the only one."

Liu Jun listened quietly, occasionally sipping his drink.

The earth is developing, changing rapidly.

The bard continued:

"I was a guest in the Elf Forest and saw with my own eyes the forest wolves herded by the Elf Race awakening. They walked on two legs and howled under the mysterious moonlight, transforming into the werewolf race, loyal to the elves, becoming their mounts and partners."

Below, some young children scornfully laughed, "There are too many lying poets like you. How can a wolf transform into a werewolf under the moonlight? I've never heard of werewolves, only stories of forest wolves turning into evil fairies, fighting Little Red Riding Hood."

"That's also a wolf fairy, but it's an evil one."

The bard ignored him and only smiled, "Don't disbelieve in the mysterious! It often symbolizes the unknown; never use your known to judge the unknown."

Several children still didn't believe the stories of the Elf Race and wolf fairies.

The current bards are no longer trustworthy; they're full of lies, making things up in bars to earn money and attract attention.

Just to get tips and fund their next city's journey.

The bard continued:

"I traveled north and heard of a boastful king who built a tower similar to the Tower of Babel and established a palace on top of it. But in just over a decade, the country perished, and the tower was abandoned,

where some giant subspecies have taken residence, rumored to hide countless gold of the old king. A young ranger planted magic beans, climbed the vine, bypassing the giants to seek treasures."

These stories were clearly very popular.

Countless people wanted to know what happened to the ranger who climbed the vine of the magic bean.

But the bard stubbornly refused to reveal more.

The patrons in the bar cursed quietly, tossing down gold coins.

"It's just about money."

"Here, take it."

Shouting and cursing.

The bard took the gold coins and, without hiding, vividly described a story of wits and courage: riding the vine to the sky, seeing the kingdom in the clouds, the hero defeated evil and obtained the treasure.

Everyone was very satisfied with the story, feeling as if they had experienced the thrilling adventure.

They felt the money was well spent.

Then, he added:

"In a forest, I met the Lake Fairy! It is the most respected king by the fairies. In the Fairy Lake, there are countless swords it forged, waiting for a strong hero to earn their recognition."

...

Liu Jun listened and tossed a bag of gold coins, "Tell this in detail."

The bard weighed the bag of gold coins and revealed a cunning smile:

"Then I shall recount it carefully!"

"According to local legend, three hundred years ago, a farmer yearned to become a hero, diligently practicing swordsmanship, chopping wood every day and then practicing with the sword."

"The farmer had a high talent for swordsmanship and cherished his sword dearly, sleeping with it every night."

"Until one day, bandits attacked the village, and the farmer rushed forward."

"His painstakingly practiced swordsmanship showed great power, defeating the bandits. A noble young lady from the city came, fell in love at first sight, and was charmed by this great hero."

"After the two fell in love, the farmer gradually neglected his sword and gave up on his dream of becoming a great hero to spend his life with his beloved."

"On the wedding day, he threw the sword that had accompanied him since childhood and his dreams into the lake."

"The sword, after being immersed for hundreds of years, gradually became mysterious, gained wisdom, and transformed into the Lake Fairy, immensely resenting warriors who abandon their weapons and give up halfway."

The next morning, after hearing this story, Liu Jun went to that lake.

There, he saw the magical Sword Fairy—the Lake Fairy, noble and beautiful, with the assistance of various forest fairies, gathered various materials.

It forged a batch of longswords and placed them in the lake.

The Lake Fairy, as a blacksmith of the fairy race, is highly esteemed.

And her lake, transformed by fairies cultivating water element magic, became a gel-like substance with weapon-preserving properties.

At that moment.

The longswords emitted chatty voices.

The weapons had actually become fairies!

The lake water shimmered.

Sacred swords, Divine Swords, scythes, and Hook Swords reflected the rainbow metallic sheen in the lake water.

Upon seeing this, even Liu Jun, hiding in the shadow of the forest, couldn't help but exclaim:

"Can weapons really forge weapons by themselves?"

"Li Ruxiang and those guys didn't deceive me, although it's not the potions mixing themselves."

"Truly, talent arises in every generation, each surpassing the last. If I hadn't seized the power of metal, this Lake Fairy would have a 100% compatibility with Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot."

Liu Jun had a sudden idea.

His own Metal Talent kept being neglected. It couldn't remain unused forever, could it?

Borrowing someone else's skills, perhaps, would be a good choice.

In front of him was a genius in weapon forging. Lending Yellow Bell and Earthenware Pot to her for development would also be beneficial.

However, how should he lend it?

The metal mushroom had already fully fused into his body!

Couldn't take it out.

"It seems I'll have to come regularly and inject my metal magic into this Sword Fairy, letting her borrow the power of metal."

"When she's done using it, I'll come and replenish the metal magic again."

Liu Jun's eyes sparkled.

The other party was his opportunity, and he was hers.

A win-win situation.

This trip was very rewarding.

Holy Clothes, various Metal Divine Artifacts, even the Holy Grails from back then... even mecha blueprints.

Can all be developed by her!

With that thought, Liu Jun's figure flickered, transforming from the appearance of God into that of the Longevity Divine Spirit.

Disguise, switch!
