Chapter 91 Kill the Wolf (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xiao Huanhai.
Jade Island, Mysterious Jade Cave.
"There isn't a dedicated weapon-refining room in this cave, since it's the residence of a water-based alchemist—"
Fang Qing sat cross-legged, lost in thought.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of weapon crafting methods involve fire, either drawing upon underground fire veins, using the cultivator's own true fire, or the flames of demonic beasts or the fire of formations.
"The sect does have a special earth fire chamber that draws on underground fire veins for the use of weapon refiners —"
"However, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the most convenient method is still to use one's own innate true fire."
He patted the storage bag and laid out the materials one by one.
Xuan Yuan Geng Jin, Yin Gang Jing, Bai Lian Xuan Tie — and second-order Bing Po Han Shui for quenching, and of course, the most important thing is the three-day Xuan Xing Sha!
"The ancient Shu people emphasized purity in crafting flying swords, requiring no complicated restrictions or enchantments. The requirements were relatively low. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator with the assistance of powerful divine sense, I could complete the task independently."
Fang Qing transformed his magical power and spat out a mouthful of innate true fire, which landed on the Hundred-Refined Profound Iron.
Scorched by this true fire, the indoor temperature immediately rose, and the black iron turned red and yellow, becoming translucent, showing faint signs of melting.
Several days later, after resting briefly and recovering his magical power, he looked at the pool of molten iron before him and threw in the silver essence again.
Fang Qing continuously poured various materials into the molten metal, and the final one was "Tianxuan Star Sand" with starlight in it!
"Now is the time—together!"
He released his divine sense to assist in refining the flying sword, and suddenly made hand gestures to stretch the molten metal into a thin strip.
A flying sword about three inches long gradually took shape.
Stab it!
After being tempered by the second-tier Ice Soul Cold Water, it faintly exudes a sharp aura.
Upon seeing this, Fang Qing remained expressionless, continuing to spew forth innate true fire and refining the sword.
Gradually, the flying sword became transparent, its blade continuously refined, seemingly about to disappear—
"The ancient Shu flying sword has a dual refinement process—first, a sword embryo is forged, then it is refined from tangible and tangible to intangible and insubstantial, and then from intangible and insubstantial back to tangible and tangible—this is one transformation!"
Fang Qing's eyes lit up slightly as he thought of the sword-forging incantation in the "Heavenly Escape Sword Manual".
"The so-called Nine-Turn Flying Sword is made by repeating this process nine times, so that the flying sword is completely free of impurities and is pure as can be."
"Of course, with my current level of magical power, it would be good enough if I could complete the first stage of the refining process."
Several months later, looking at the flying sword that had been refined from formless and intangible to tangible and material, completing its first transformation, Fang Qing showed a hint of satisfaction.
The sword was no more than three inches long, had no hilt, and its blade was semi-transparent, with a slight starlight effect.
He cast a spell, and the sword suddenly lengthened, becoming about three feet long.
"This is the limit of the first revolution. If it were a nine-revolution flying sword, its size would be as it pleases, as small as a mustard seed or as large as Mount Sumeru, all within a single thought."
Fang Qing transformed the [Lou Jin] magic power and inhaled.
The flying sword instantly transformed into a wisp of golden energy, which he inhaled, transforming into a strand of metallic energy that circulated in his lungs, nourished by [Lou Jin].
Nurturing with magical power.
"The materials used to forge the sword are of good quality, so it is a first-stage flying sword as soon as it is forged. After that, it needs to be continuously refined by the cultivator in order to improve along with the cultivator's realm. It is a slow and steady process. It is quite similar to the natal magic weapon here, only it is a major realm earlier."
"Furthermore, this kind of improvement is too slow—it's definitely faster to go out and fight sword cultivators of the same level—"
Fang Qing shook his head, banishing the unsuitable thought from his mind, then stood up and tested the sharpness of his flying sword.
call out!
He pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and a sword light suddenly appeared in the secret room.
The sword light of this flying sword was like a sky full of stars, like smoke and mist, agile and unpredictable, suddenly slashing down on the wall of the secret chamber.
The array restrictions that had been able to defend against attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators for a long time collapsed instantly, revealing a deep sword mark.
"Excellent! This natal flying sword is almost one with the cultivator's magic power, and its operation is perfect in every detail—even when flying, the cultivator and the sword are one, with the flying sword as the tip, cutting through the atmosphere ahead to move forward—"
Thinking of the cultivators here, many of whom were flying on or sitting on sword-shaped magical artifacts, Fang Qing felt a pang of reluctance to look directly at them.
"Hmm—the Sharp Edge Badge, as expected, complements my natal flying sword perfectly."
Fang Qing was very satisfied to feel the enhancement that his own Dao foundation provided to his flying sword.
"The sword forging is complete—only the last step remains: to name it."
"This sword was made with Tianxuan Star Sand," meaning it can draw upon the power of celestial bodies, making it a flying sword with stellar attributes.
"Afterwards, it will inevitably follow me through bloodshed and carnage, breaking through enemy lines and slaying foes, so let's name it 'Kill, Break, Wolf' —"
He made the decision.
The term "killing, breaking, and wolf" refers to the combination of the three elements: Seven Killings, Breaking Army, and Greedy Wolf.
The reason for choosing the "Seven Killings" sword is naturally to hope that it possesses the sharpness of the "Breaking Army" sword, the aura of the "Seven Killings" sword, and the power of the "Greedy Wolf" sword!
"Having the Killing Wolf Sword by my side is almost equivalent to nurturing a nascent magic weapon in advance—it will be extremely beneficial in future battles, and even after I reach the Core Formation stage, I will still have a handy magic weapon at my disposal."
With his golden finger at his side, Fang Qing naturally had boundless confidence and looked forward to the path of Core Formation.
"However, the third-tier resources in the Little Universe Sea are somewhat scarce—the Chaotic Sea Flood Dragon and Linghu Jin have both attempted to form their cores, and I'm afraid they've exhausted the Azure Sea Sect's reserves, which will take several hundred years to recover—"
"Perhaps, after I reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment, I should consider going to the cultivation world of the East Sea to form my Core?"
After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of the secret realm of Tianxin Island, which seemed to open only once every few decades.
At that time, he was just at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If there were Core Formation spiritual objects in the secret realm, he could have something to look forward to.
Having mastered the "Kill the Wolf" flying sword, Fang Qing was in high spirits. He went out for half a month to relax before returning to his cave.
Beside the second-level cold spring.
Fang Qing transformed the power of the [Ji Shui] magic, and with the blessing of the "Ji Gan Lin" Dao foundation, his perception of this second-level cold spring became increasingly clear.
After all, the [Ji Water] is also known as [Fountain Water]! This corresponds precisely to the cold and hot springs used in water-based alchemy—
It was precisely because of this that Fang Qing's water-based alchemy skills were able to advance by leaps and bounds.
"If I was considered a near-second-tier high-grade alchemist before, having only refined Foundation Establishment Pills—now that I have forged the [Ji Shui] Dao Foundation, I should be considered a true second-tier high-grade alchemist—and even have the hope of breaking through to become a near-third-tier alchemist!"
After attempting to refine several second-tier pills, Fang Qing concluded that both the quantity and quality far surpassed those from before.
His alchemy skills were actually inferior to Tian Ding's, but his own spring water had an extremely high affinity, which narrowed the gap.
"If one can hone a third-tier water-based alchemy technique, one can make a living even in the cultivation world of the East Sea."
Fang Qing had heard that the cultivation world of the East Sea was many times larger than that of the Small Universe Sea, with countless Core Formation Ancestors and Nascent Soul Old Monsters appearing occasionally.
-
In comparison, the Xiaohuanhai cultivation world is just a remote corner of the countryside, and few Core Formation cultivators would even consider it.
In the cultivation world of the East Sea, second-tier cultivation skills are barely enough to make a living, while only third-tier skills are widely valued and regarded as guest masters by major powers.
"On the Xiao Huan Hai side, second-grade high-level alchemy is more than enough—Tian Ding's own alchemy skills are similar to mine, and he also occupies the sect's only third-grade spiritual spring, and is known as an alchemy grandmaster—he may now be the number one alchemist in Xiao Huan Hai."
Fang Qing shook his head, somewhat amused, "But since you're a second-tier high-grade alchemist, you can start gathering some materials—"
The pill formula he was preparing to collect was called "Breakthrough Pill," which was undoubtedly an upgraded version of "Minor Breakthrough Pill." It was used to assist mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators in breaking through the late-stage bottleneck and was ranked as a second-tier superior grade!
Within the sect, there is probably no stock of this kind of pill. Only when a Core Formation Seed breaks through will a special batch be prepared.
Fang Qing was very self-aware. With his mid-grade water spiritual root, there was no way he could ever achieve the status of a Core Formation seed. Even with the Dao Life Pearl to help purify his cultivation by taking pills, he was very likely to encounter a bottleneck at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
This is clearly a drag from one's spiritual root. With average aptitude, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is basically a life of great difficulty, and one will almost certainly get stuck at a bottleneck when encountering a major realm.
Therefore, it is important to prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard later.
"The Breakthrough Pill series has one last ingredient, the Great Breakthrough Pill," which is almost a third-tier pill—its purpose is to assist cultivators at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage in breaking through to the Pseudo-Core stage!
The so-called "false elixir" is actually the completion of the Foundation Establishment stage, but the condensation of the last drop of liquid mana is obviously not so easy, and there are also bottlenecks.
Otherwise, elders like Tianding and Wanbao wouldn't only be at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Ninety-nine drops of liquid mana at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage seem to differ from one hundred drops at the False Core stage by only one drop—but in reality, it represents a qualitative leap in mana, and is also a hurdle. If one doesn't break through the bottleneck, then that last drop of liquid mana will simply not be able to be condensed—"
At this point, the superiority of those with Heavenly Grade Spiritual Roots becomes apparent; all these bottlenecks no longer exist!
Once you have enough magical power, you can naturally break through to the next level.
"Hmm? Why did I suddenly have this whim and think of Wanbao and Tianding?"
Fang Qing had diligently practiced divination for many years, and at this moment, he had a certain intuition: "This is bad!"
His expression immediately became somewhat wary, and he promptly cast a divination in his mind.
Several illusory plum blossoms danced in the air, while tortoise shells and yarrow stalks used for divination appeared all around.
This is the result of his years of absorbing the essence of other divination books and integrating them into one.
"Hmm—a wise man is mindful of danger even in times of peace? Indeed, danger is approaching—but as long as I guard the gates carefully, I will be safe—"
After a moment, Fang Qing looked at the divination results and silently calculated: "It seems that it is not an attack by some Nascent Soul monster, or a natural disaster that will destroy everything—but a disaster within the third rank. Although the Azure Sea Sect will suffer some losses, it can be kept safe by relying on the Core Formation Ancestor and the great formation."
His expression hardened, and he immediately disregarded everything else, using the "Dao Sheng Pearl" to give Qin Ruxue a message, suggesting that she find an excuse to return to the sect.
