Hearing Lu Xingchen's words, Gu Qingze put down his chopsticks and asked slowly.
"Brother Lu, do you know how to obtain your own natal sword?"
The natal sword is an important magic weapon for practitioners and is a weapon connected to one's soul.
Although he wanted to know the secrets of the way of heaven or this world more than this, it was obvious that Senior Brother Lu knew very little about it.
So it is more practical to ask this question, and he also wants to obtain his own natal sword as soon as possible to improve his strength.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, and a hint of memory flashed in his eyes.
He remembered that he had accidentally discovered a torn secret book in the Qingyun Sect's Sutra Library.
That secret book records a mysterious method of sword-making, which requires special materials and a certain state of mind.
Lu Xingchen became very interested in this sword-making method at that time, so he began to look for materials everywhere. After countless failures and attempts, he finally forged his own natal sword.
"This is my natal sword, 'Biyun'. It took me thirteen years and countless failures and attempts to create it."
Lu Xingchen said seriously, taking out the sword he carried with him, his actions full of care.
“It’s part of my soul and the source of my strength.”
Gu Qingze felt a sense of admiration for Senior Brother Lu's persistence. He also wanted to quickly obtain his own natal sword to protect himself and the most important people around him.
"Brother Lu, can you tell me something about the natal sword?" Gu Qingze asked, "I also want to create my own natal sword, but I don't know where to start."
Lu Xingchen nodded. He could see Gu Qingze's desire for his natal sword. He remembered his own confusion and groping back then, so he decided to pass on his experience to Gu Qingze.
"The creation of a natal sword begins with the selection of materials," Lu Xingchen said. "Generally speaking, the material of a natal sword needs to possess spirituality and toughness so that it can resonate with the cultivator's soul."
Gu Qingze listened carefully, remembering every word Lu Xingchen said. He knew that this was a rare opportunity for Lu Xingchen to share his thoughts, and also an opportunity for him to improve himself.
"After selecting the materials, we need to forge the sword." Lu Xingchen continued, "The sword-forging process requires a strong focus on both state of mind and craftsmanship. Only by integrating one's heart and soul into the sword can one create a true natal sword."
Gu Qingze fell into deep thought, thinking silently in his heart. He knew that forging the natal sword was not an easy task and required a lot of time and effort. However, he also knew that this was the only way for him to improve his strength.
"Finally, it's about nurturing the natal sword," Lu Xingchen said. "To nurture the natal sword, the practitioner needs to constantly nourish it with their spiritual energy and blood, allowing it to become more in tune with their soul. Only in this way can the natal sword's maximum power be unleashed."
Gu Qingze nodded, and felt even more grateful as he watched Lu Xingchen hand him the summarized and improved sword-making technique from the storage bag.
"The rest is up to you to figure out on your own. This is the secret manual that I've learned from the experience I gained during the sword-making process and that fills in the remaining fragments. Study it carefully. I believe you can do it."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu." Gu Qingze said, "Without your help, I might not know how to start."
Lu Xingchen smiled and shook his head. He said, "You don't have to keep thanking me. You are my junior brother. If I don't take care of you, who else should I take care of?"
"Okay, let's eat first."
Lu Xingchen spoke. Although he had only been with this junior brother for less than two days, he could clearly see that he was very serious about cultivation.
"Forging a natal sword is not something that can be done overnight; it requires patience and time. Among sword cultivators, only a handful of them actually possess one."
