Chapter 1646
Reforging the True Origin Flying Sword
at the same time.
Because Ling Pengyun's previous refining of the fifth-grade superior Cangsong Dharma Pearl was too commotion, all the Cangxuan lineage cultivators in the entire Blazing Sun Forest noticed it.
This incident immediately caused a huge uproar.
Although many powerful cultivators in the Cangxuan lineage knew that Ling Pengyun's craftsmanship was extraordinary, and that Ling Pengyun had even reforged several mid-grade fifth-rank spiritual treasures to the high-grade fifth-rank, it was still a fact that he had not been able to achieve this.
However, the difficulty of reforging a spirit treasure is far greater than that of directly creating a fifth-grade high-quality spirit treasure.
Everyone then speculated that Ling Pengyun had probably reached the threshold of the fifth-order high-grade weapon refining technique.
It's even possible that, given some more time and once Ling Pengyun masters the crafting of other types of high-grade fifth-tier spiritual treasures, he could truly become a high-grade fifth-tier weapon refiner.
Such figures are extremely rare, and can be counted on one hand even in the entire Tianhe Realm.
Most importantly, although the Cangxuan lineage has amazing combat power, even stronger than many superior Nascent Soul forces, it is only below those top Nascent Soul forces that have Nascent Soul Perfection experts.
However, the Cangxuan lineage has only been rising for a short time, and it originated from a small place like the Cangxuan Realm.
In addition, fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasures are extremely rare and very difficult to obtain.
The spiritual treasure foundation of the Cangxuan lineage is extremely weak.
Even aside from Ling Pengyun, Xinghai Ancestor and other powerful figures from the Ling Clan and Xinghai Pavilion, the three major forces such as the Supreme Buddhist Sect, the Righteous Path Alliance and the Four Immortals Alliance do not have such treasures.
The overall strength of the Cangxuan lineage was affected to some extent.
However, with Ling Pengyun's improved weapon crafting skills, there is a possibility that things could take a turn for the better.
After all, Ling Pengyun was practically one of their own, and was more reliable than high-level weapon refiners from the outside world.
Moreover, even if it is eventually refined into a treasure, it will not be known to the outside world, and can be used as a trump card, which can be of great use when necessary.
Since this incident, all the major forces of the Cangxuan lineage have been collecting high-grade refining materials, intending to find Ling Pengyun to refine a fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasure.
However, the Righteous Alliance had a better foundation.
Moreover, Master Zhengyuan had long intended to reforge his top-grade fifth-rank mid-grade Zhengyuan Flying Sword to a fifth-rank high-grade, and he had collected some materials beforehand.
As time went by, within a few years he had gathered all the remaining spiritual materials.
Finally, they gathered the three sets of spiritual materials needed to reforge the True Origin Flying Sword.
Then, he went to Ling Pengyun.
"I wonder if you would be willing to help me reforge this flying sword to the fifth-grade superior level?"
"Furthermore, young friend, rest assured, as long as this matter is successful, I am willing to offer thirty ordinary mid-grade fifth-rank cultivation pills, the Purple Essence Pill, as refining fees."
The old Taoist priest Zhengyuan humbled himself greatly and offered a huge reward, pleading with him.
“Senior is too kind. As for the matter of refining weapons, it is easy to discuss. Moreover, you have a lot of refining materials, so I will take on this task.”
Ling Pengyun's eyes lit up when he saw the Purple Essence Pills that Old Daoist Zhengyuan had taken out.
These pills are quite effective, and although they are of low grade and are designed for the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they can still be of some help to Ling Pengyun, who is at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Not to mention, there were quite a few of those pills.
This is not a small amount; it is considered a relatively reasonable fee for refining weapons.
In addition, even with the help of many resources provided by his family, Ling Pengyun's progress in his cultivation has been somewhat slow since he entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
He often used weapon crafting to earn high-level resources. He was not opposed to helping others craft weapons.
Moreover, Master Zhengyuan is a reliable person, and he is also a sword cultivator with a cultivation level that has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage.
If the reforging of the Zhengyuan Flying Sword can be accomplished, its strength will likely increase significantly, which would benefit the entire Cangxuan lineage.
"Since you've agreed to help, young friend..."
"Next, we will need to rely on you, young friend, to reforge that precious sword."
When Master Zhengyuan saw that Ling Pengyun had agreed to help, he was overjoyed.
Although the Zhengyuan Flying Sword was left behind by the predecessors of the Righteous Path Alliance, it was actually forged by them using the Alliance's signature technique, the "Zhengyuan Sword Manual," as its source.
The flying sword and the martial art were originally from the same source.
As a sword cultivator, Elder Zhengyuan naturally practiced the Zhengyuan Sword Manual.
Upon closer examination, the Zhengyuan Flying Sword can be considered his natal spiritual treasure.
When such treasures are being reforged, the process can be made much easier with the help of their owner.
When Ling Pengyun was reforging this treasure, he asked for his help.
Afterwards, he also obtained the refining method for the Zhengyuan Flying Sword, as well as some fifth-order high-grade flying sword cultivation methods that the Cangxuan lineage had acquired in their early years, and studied them carefully.
Once everything was ready, Ling Pengyun and his men immediately began their work.
Ling Pengyun took out the fifth-grade mid-level weapon-refining furnace and heated it to a certain degree with the Morning Glow Treasure Fire before gradually throwing in the first batch of weapon-refining materials.
As the impurities within those spiritual materials were refined, they transformed into streams of incomparably pure spiritual liquid.
'It's time to really start forging weapons.'
Ling Pengyun's expression hardened slightly, and he became even more serious.
He then threw the Zhengyuan Flying Sword into the refining furnace.
Moreover, under his exquisite weapon-refining skills, the Zhengyuan Flying Sword was actually liquefied by the high temperature.
However, it did not lose its sharpness, and even the core patterns on the surface remained unaffected.
With just a thought, that ball of spiritual liquid can transform into a sword once more.
"melt!"
Moreover, as Ling Pengyun made a hand seal, the liquid formed from the remaining spiritual materials immediately surged into the ball of flying sword molten iron.
During this period, the spiritual materials and the origins of the flying sword molten iron were mutually repulsive.
But all of them were suppressed by Ling Pengyun. He even used some powerful weapon-refining techniques to make the power of those spiritual materials rapidly strengthen the origin of the flying sword molten iron.
Even afterwards, the flying sword molten iron was at least several times stronger than before.
"At this stage, it can withstand a greater degree of strength in terms of the texture of the artifact."
“Senior Zhengyuan, it’s time for us to start perfecting the various fifth-order mid-to-low-grade weapon patterns on that flying sword, bringing them up to fifth-order high-grade.”
Ling Pengyun immediately summoned the old Daoist Zhengyuan, and using his divine sense as a brush, gradually refined the various artifact patterns contained within the molten iron of the flying sword. (End of Chapter)
