Xiao Bing gave a bitter smile and said, "Grandpa, just listen to me."
Therefore, Xiao Bing told Chi Ban Nakayama about how the soul-chasing stick was only a top-grade spirit weapon when he first got it. Then, he told him that the soul-chasing stick recovered a part of its power during an encounter, and reached the level of a low-grade divine weapon. Also, the spirit ocean inside the soul-chasing stick was extremely terrifying. As a soul-attacking weapon, a part of its spirit ocean probably hadn't recovered yet, and was still in a deep sleep or dispirited state.
Xiao Bing didn't tell Chi Ban Nakayama about Qi Tian. Although Chi Ban Nakayama could tell that Xiao Bing was hiding something from him, he didn't mind. As a powerful being like Xiao Bing, it was perfectly normal for him to have some secrets.
After hearing everything, Chi Ban Nakayama frowned and asked, "You mean, you want to recover the spirit ocean inside the soul-chasing stick?"
"Yes, I want to help it recover its power slowly, but I don't know how to do it."
"This …" Chi Ban Nakayama slightly knitted his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "You have to know that even spirit treasures are rare, not to mention divine treasures. The [Sky Gathering Cloud Sword] is the first divine treasure I have ever seen in my life. Therefore, I don't have much knowledge about divine treasures."
"Oh." Although Xiao Bing had already guessed this, he was still a bit disappointed when he heard Chi Ban Nakayama's words. However, it wasn't because Chi Ban Nakayama wasn't powerful enough. Just like Chi Ban Nakayama said, divine weapons were so rare in this world that even the eight top-grade ancient martial art sects didn't have a single divine weapon. Spirit weapons could almost be regarded as the most precious treasures of the eight top-grade ancient martial art sects. How could Chi Ban Nakayama have the chance to study divine weapons? Therefore, no matter how powerful he was, no matter how good he was at crafting treasures, his study on divine weapons was still limited.
Chi Ban Nakayama stared at the Soul-Chasing Stick with a pair of glowing eyes and said, "However, I've been thinking about tool-crafting for the past couple of days. Recently, because of my body condition, I can't do that anymore, so I can only rest for now. But, this has given me a rare chance to think, and I've gained some rare insights regarding the field of magic treasures. This time, when you came back, I was planning to borrow your Sky Gathering Cloud Sword. But now, since you want to help the Soul-Chasing Stick recover your spirit space, why don't you leave it with me for now, and let me do some research on it?"
Xiao Bing hesitated for a second and said, "But … the soul-chasing stick is very dangerous, I can't let anyone touch it."
Chi Ban Nakayama shook his head and smiled, "Haven't you tried to communicate with the soul-chasing stick? If you ask it not to hurt unrelated people, it won't hurt them. "
"Well …" Xiao Bing was stunned for a moment. Although he had been in contact with divine artifacts, such as the Sword of Heavenly Clouds and the Soul-chasing Cudgel, he did not have a deep understanding with these divine artifacts.
Chi Ban Nakayama looked at Xiao Bing, shook his head and said, "Don't you communicate with them? You should know that weapons are your closest comrades-in-arms. To you, they are even more intimate than your human comrades because they are always by your side 24/7. No matter what danger you encounter, they will always be by your side. Don't you pay attention to communicating with such a close comrade-in-arms? "
Hearing Chi Ban Nakayama's words, Xiao Bing suddenly realized that he had indeed been neglecting his weapons before. Although he had been improving speedily in cultivation all these years, he rarely used any weapons. Therefore, he didn't have much experience in this aspect. Just like Chi Ban Nakayama said, if a person didn't communicate with his or her weapons often, how could he or she truly understand each other? How could they fuse perfectly? It seemed that his cultivation in this aspect was still far from enough.
Xiao Bing said gratefully and sincerely, "Master Chi Ban, thank you for your guidance on this. I will certainly communicate with the soul-chasing stick more often in the future. Hm, I will try to communicate with it now and tell it not to hurt you. Let me see if I can do that."
Xiao Bing gripped the soul-chasing stick and concentrated on communicating with it. He sent some messages to it through his brain and kept repeating, 'soul-chasing stick, soul-chasing stick, I am your friend, Xiao Bing, can you feel me talking to you?'
All of a sudden, Xiao Bing sensed a trace of joy from the soul-chasing stick.
Xiao Bing let out a sigh of relief and continued communicating with the soul-chasing stick in his mind, "soul-chasing stick, I think you must have been hurt before, am I right?"
Xiao Bing could feel that the Soul-chasing Stick was transmitting some information to him, but it was basically some emotional fluctuations. It was like a telegraph, and the fluctuations were in curves. Xiao Bing carefully captured the differences in these curves, and finally felt that the Soul-chasing Stick was giving him a positive answer.
In fact, this was easy to say, but it was quite difficult to truly feel it. Only by truly sensing it with one's heart could one truly understand what the soul-chasing stick was trying to convey.
"That grandpa Chi Ban is a good friend of mine, he is the one who can help you. I will hand you over to him first, and let him find the secret to restore your spirit sea. Can you control your spirit power and not attack others?" Xiao Bing then communicated with the soul-chasing stick through his spirit power.
The soul-chasing stick gave him a positive answer again.
Xiao Bing said, "Then remember, don't attack Master Chi Ban, and don't attack anyone in the Xiao Family, unless they are hostile to us."
Hearing the soul-chasing stick's answer, Xiao Bing sighed in relief. With a smile on his face, Xiao Bing gently stroked the soul-chasing stick, then handed it to Chi Ban Nakayama. When Chi Ban Nakayama took over the soul-chasing stick and found that nothing had happened to him, he finally relaxed completely.
Chi Ban Nakayama excitedly looked at the soul-chasing stick in his hand and said, "Divine weapon, truly a divine weapon. Xiao Bing, don't worry, I will certainly figure out a way to help you."
"Good, but Master Chi Ban, you also need to take a good rest, don't overwork yourself."
"Hm, I will." Chi Ban Nakayama sighed and said, "My body isn't as strong as before, but this kind of mental work is still fine. If I don't study for a long time, all my brain cells will die, won't they?"
Xiao Bing said, "Then I will thank you, Master Chi Ban."
"No need, no need. In my eyes, this should be my honor. Why are you thanking me?"
While talking, Chi Ban Nakayama didn't even take a glance at Xiao Bing. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the soul-chasing stick. Xiao Bing smiled. Chi Ban Nakayama's obsession with weapons had indeed reached a certain level. Perhaps, this was the most important reason why he could become a master craftsman.
However, at this moment, Xiao Bing actually felt a bit reluctant to part with the soul-chasing stick. He didn't want to leave the soul-chasing stick here, but thinking that this was to save the stick's life, Xiao Bing told himself that all this was for the sake of the stick. Therefore, he forced himself to leave the soul-chasing stick here. At this moment, Xiao Bing also realized that the soul-chasing stick was indeed a divine weapon that belonged to him, a divine weapon that suited him well. Before, when he had the Sky Cloud Sword, he never had this kind of feeling. Perhaps, it was because he wasn't suited to be a swordsman.
Xiao Bing said, "Master Chi, I will leave now."
"Alright, off you go then."
Xiao Bing walked out of the room and saw Dumbass and Chi Ban Zhiko walking towards him.
Xiao Bing saw the two holding hands and said with a smile, "You two are really showing off your love everywhere now."
Chi Ban Zhiko was a bit embarrassed, but Dumbass snorted and said, "She's my fiancée. What's wrong with showing off? Don't you still show off your love with your sisters-in-law every day?"
"Well, you're already your fiancée?" Xiao Bing grinned and said, "When are you going to get married? Since you're my fiancée, there must be a wedding date. "
This time, Chi Ban Zhiko opened her mouth and said, "Brother Xiao Bing, I was just about to discuss this with you. Brother Dumbass and I are going to hold the wedding ceremony in two months, and then we will officially get married."
Xiao Bing was surprised for a second, and then said with a pleasantly surprised face, "So soon? But this is a good thing. I have to congratulate you. "
Chi Ban Zhiko said, "Brother Dumbass said that you are his biggest family. Therefore, as his family, you have to be the host of his wedding. But this has to be approved by you first, and we have to discuss this with you first."
"I agree, 100%." Xiao Bing grinned and said, "I'm happy for you."
Xiao Bing reached out his hand, patted Dumbass on the shoulder and sighed, "I really didn't expect that among all of us, you're the first to get married, and you've married such a beautiful wife. You're really a lucky fool."
Dumbass giggled and said, "Haha, I also think I'm a lucky fool."
Xiao Bing looked at Chi Ban Zhiko and asked, "Have you told your grandpa? Does he agree?"
"I haven't told him yet." Chi Ban Zhiko said, "I'm an official adult now, and I've reached the legal age to get married. Originally, I planned to talk about this with Dumbass after I graduated from college, and then get married after a few more years, but my grandpa is now …"
Thinking of Chi Ban Nakayama's current physical condition, Xiao Bing understood why they were in such a hurry. According to Zhang Yizhi, Chi Ban Nakayama only had four or five months left to live, so it was better for them to get married as soon as possible, so that Chi Ban Nakayama could be happy for his granddaughter before he died, and fulfill a wish!
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "You're right, I support you, but you still have to discuss this with your grandpa. You can go in and talk about it."
"Well, thank you, Brother Bing."
