After recovering, they continued refining.

More than three hours later, five bone swords and their sheaths were placed beside Gu Yan.

Then the remaining dozen or so segments were added.

"Let's wait until it's delivered to Qingyue and the others," Gu Yan thought to himself.

Then he took out the rare minerals he had collected from the Kaishan Sect; they were quite hard.

He planned to practice making some more knives. Since he had enough materials, he started burning a pile of various ores and eventually melted them into knife shapes.

Two more hours passed, and hundreds of small knives of various colors floated around Gu Yan.

With a thought, Gu Yan made the sword fly up and down. He held one of them in his hand, and because he was now stronger and more skilled at crafting, it felt more than ten times harder than before.

Little Mingyue's face immediately turned even redder.

Then, because Gu Yan felt sorry for her standing for too long, he put a soft cushion on the ground.

Xiao Mingyue took a deep breath and knelt on the ground...
