Bull Demon’s was undoubtedly a big boost for Misty Mountains.
Now, looking at this burly humanoid figure, Yu Zi Yu felt a lot more at ease.
In light of this, Yu Zi Yu straightforwardly stated his plan, “I’m planning to go to the Northern Territory soon. I’ll leave Misty Mountains to your care.”
“Alright, Divine Tree,” Bull Demon agreed without any objection, nodding.
However, after a moment, as if realizing something, Bull Demon suddenly stared fixedly at the Yu Zi Yu’s roots with a hint of fervor in his eyes.
“Divine Tree, um… I’ve taken on this Human-like form, so shouldn’t I have a suitable weapon?” Bull Demon asked, scratching the back of his head, and wearing a bit of a shy expression.
“Weapon!?” Yu Zi Yu muttered in a confused voice, but after looking at Bull Demon’s empty hands, he nodded his agreement.
[I guess, it’s reasonable, but is there really an appropriate weapon for Bull Demon?] However, at that moment, as if sensing something, Yu Zi Yu suddenly froze. He noticed that Bull Demon’s gaze was fixed firmly on him.
“This guy…” Yu Zi Yu was speechless and asked directly, “You’re not thinking about something inappropriate, are you?”
With a sly smile, Bull Demon responded, “I just want to make a handy ax. I can sharpen the blade myself, but I’ll need a good handle for my ax, which only you can provide, Master.”
“I guess, you’re right,” Yu Zi Yu nodded.
Yu Zi Yu had no choice but to admit it. As a tree, his entire body was full of treasure. His roots and branches were excellent materials, even without undergoing any kind of polishing.
In terms of hardness, they were unparalleled.
Not to mention, Yu Zi Yu’s roots and even his branches had wondrous power.
Bull Demon likely noticed the staff in Golden Monkey’s hand and got this idea.
Be that as it may, Yu Zi Yu thought it was a good idea, too.
Bull Demon had just broken through to Tier-2, and Yu Zi Yu hadn’t prepared any gifts yet. If a section of his branch could satisfy Bull Demon, he was more than willing to give it to him. After all, for Yu Zi Yu, a branch was not a big deal.
With that in mind, Yu Zi Yu stated, “Come and pick it up tomorrow.”
Having promised, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness returned to his original body, located in the Himalayan Mountains…
Soon after returning, Yu Zi Yu looked at his branches, and began carefully selecting them.
[Since it’s a gift, it has to look good as well. And considering Bull Demon’s massive three-meter-tall body, he would probably choose a large ax, so the length of the handle should be around 2-3 meters.] With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu picked a three-meter-long excellent-looking branch.
With a thought, the branch snapped from the trunk. At the same time, Yu Zi Yu’s two branches reached toward it and began polishing the selected branch.
A short while after, a three-meter-long, arm-thick smooth wooden stick stood silently on the ground not far from Yu Zi Yu.
However, that was not the important thing.
The essence lay in Yu Zi Yu’s emerald green Spiritual Energy that gradually enveloped the wooden stick. One could faintly see a diamond-like texture gradually emerging on the surface.
Crystallization, one of Yu Zi Yu’s Divine Abilities, could enhance the hardness of this wooden staff. Even though the Crystallization would disappear shortly without Yu Zi Yu’s Spiritual Energy support, the hardness of the staff would have increased after undergoing Crystallization. Moreover, it would give the seemingly rough wooden staff a subtle crystal-like texture, which would greatly improve its visual appeal.
Considering it was a gift, Yu Zi Yu was willing to go an extra mile to enhance its appearance. If not for his limited means, Yu Zi Yu would have preferred to craft a big ax for Bull Demon, but unfortunately, his current abilities didn’t allow him to do so.
At least, not to his satisfaction.
While contemplating this, Yu Zi Yu’s eyes lit up, as if he was struck with a brilliant idea.
“Who would be more suitable than a Panda to forge weapons!?” murmuring, the corner of Yu Zi Yu’s lips rose into a smile.
After all, Pandas ate various materials. Brewmaster could easily refine high-quality, sturdy ores. Furthermore, due to his Innate Talent, he could also temper various ores, and when combined with his Fire Breath, if he mastered some craftsmanship of Humans, a weapon craftsman would be born.
However, this was not the important thing.
The main point is that even though Brewmaster was lazy, he really enjoys forging. Just by looking at the self-made hat on his head and the boots he wears, it was quite clear.
As such, Yu Zi Yu also put the craftsman creation plan on the agenda.
After all, with the development of Misty Mountains, weapons would be definitely indispensable.
While he might not be able to create an Innate Flying Sword like the silver-haired General Li, crafting divine weapons from Humans’ legends should not be difficult.
It was not because Yu Zi Yu had any secret techniques. It was because in this Era of Transcendence, various extraordinary materials were emerging.
With these materials, crafting the legendary divine weapons should be easy.
Thinking of this, Yu Zi Yu could not help but recall a saying among Humans, ‘What truly determines scientific development is not technology but materials.’
Indeed, it was not just science and technology.
Even in this Era of Transcendence, the quality of weapons was determined not by technology but by materials.
Just like Yu Zi Yu’s tree roots and branches, even with minimal refinement, their hardness alone would be enough to be much coveted by Humans. Furthermore, weapons of the Era of Transcendence should have certain requirements for a materials’ resilience to Spiritual Energy.
For instance, ordinary Human weapons could probably not withstand even 1,000 units of Spiritual Energy.
The maximum limit for alloy weapons was likely no more than 10,000 units of Spiritual Energy.
However, Yu Zi Yu’s tree roots and branches could withstand tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy without shattering.
So, one could also imagine the value of Yu Zi Yu’s branches and roots as weapons.
[If the Humans came to know about this, I suspect they’d have one more reason to want to get rid of me.] Thinking about it, Yu Zi Yu could not help but smile wryly.
After all, his body was big enough to create tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of weapons, enough to arm several regiments. So, it would be strange if Humans did not covet him.
Unfortunately, all they could do was just covet, getting rid of him was an impossible thing.
As long as someone dared to have any plans for him, Yu Zi Yu was ready to ensure that they would not see the light of day.
