This flying sword magic weapon blank was the one that took Li Shiming the longest time to refine. It took him more than half a year, not including the design time.
In order to be able to engrave sharp runes on the sword blank that could not be perceived by spiritual consciousness, he used other materials for many experiments, and only relied on the touch of the machine room space to increase the engraving accuracy to 5 nanometers.
This is equivalent to blind carving. The spiritual consciousness is the eyes of the cultivator. Without the help of the spiritual consciousness, it is equivalent to having no help from the eyes.
With the help of his life-saving magic weapon IBM z15, he mastered the technique after just practicing for a while.
The next step is to engrave the sword blank. Since it can only be engraved by touch, the engraving speed is not fast.
That is, as the engraving time got longer and longer, his mastery of this technology was constantly improving, allowing him to continuously add brain power and perform multi-threaded blind engraving, which is how he completed the refining in more than half a year.
Otherwise, it would probably take at least ten years to complete the sword blank for this magical flying sword.
In fact, even if it takes ten years, it is not a long time to refine a top-level fourth-grade magic weapon.
Li Shiming has his own magic weapon, IBMz15. When designing the flying sword magic weapon, he estimated all situations in advance, and every step in the refining process was consistent with the design. The precision of 5 nanometers makes it impossible for there to be any error in the refining process.
Normal cultivators, however, need to constantly adjust the temperature of the flame during the refining process, and think while refining.
When engraving runes, the material properties and the location of the engraving will have an impact on the engraving, and the overall energy of the magic weapon must be in a balanced state. As long as there is an imbalance, the magic weapon will be considered a defective product.
In battle, the imbalance of energy inside the magic weapon will become its fatal weakness.
These require constant adjustment and thinking when refining the weapon. The higher the grade of the magic weapon, the more difficult it is to refine.
Ninety million sharp runes are concentrated on the entire body of the sword blank. In order to achieve energy balance, a huge amount of calculations are required to ensure that each sharp rune is in the best position.
All of this was done by IBM z15, saving him a lot of time.
"Ninety million sharp runes, ten million sharp formations, I wonder what kind of flying sword can be refined this time?" Li Shiming muttered to himself as he looked at the sword blank in his hand.
According to the time, his clone Li Yuanba will soon cultivate to the level of a great elder, so he also needs to leave the sect and go to Li Yuanba.
This is a good opportunity to find a place far away from the sect and complete the last step of making the sword blank.
"Master, I'm going to leave the sect for a few days!" Li Shiming sent a message to Master Hu.
"You have to be careful. The relationship between our sect and the Yanri Sect has been a little tense recently!" Great Monk Hu replied.
"Did something happen?" Li Shiming sent a question through his identity jade disc.
Although the relationship between the Yanri Sect and the Wanshou Sect has always been bad, this is normal. The Yanri Sect, an evil sect, has a natural hostility towards the righteous sects.
"During the two years you were in seclusion, the sect investigated and found that the Yanri Sect was behind the Gufeng Sect's provocation against our sect!" replied Master Hu.
It turned out that after the Gufeng Sect withdrew, the Wanshou Sect did not end its investigation.
The Gufeng Sect really did not have the energy to fight against the Wanshou Sect, so they handed over a piece of intelligence to the Wanshou Sect. Through this intelligence, the Wanshou Sect found the shadow of the Yanri Sect.
"Master, I will be careful!" This kind of thing will not affect Li Shiming's travel.
The conflicts between sects will never stop.
The purpose of the Sun-Shattering Sect is very clear, which is to weaken the strength of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The Wan Beast Sect has performed very well in recent years. Whether it is the number of great monks or the reserve core monks, the sect has revealed the strong foundation of the Wan Beast Sect.
The four major sects in Dongqi Continent have similar strengths. If the strength of the Wanshou Sect increases too much, this balance will be broken.
Even Li Shiming suspected that in addition to the Yanri Sect, there might be other large sects involved.
Who can blame the fact that the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect are too powerful? The Nascent Soul cultivators all have powerful spiritual pets that match their strength. Even the great cultivators, with the help of spiritual pets, can display much stronger combat power than their own.
However, these have nothing to do with Li Shiming. It is the sect’s top leaders and great monks who need to worry about them.
Li Shiming left the sect, and he had absolute confidence in his own safety.
He is now wearing a fourth-grade 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe', which can withstand even a blow from a great cultivator, not to mention the attack from an early or middle Nascent Soul cultivator.
The five 'Five-Colored Flying Phoenix Swords' are much stronger than the third-grade flying sword 'Flowing Light and Falling Stars', and are more in line with his five elements attributes.
These alone have improved his strength, especially his defense. Combined with 'A World Away', he has the possibility of escaping even if he encounters a great monk.
What he didn't know was that when he left the sect, a cultivator noticed it and sent a message using a special communication card.
Mu Jing of the Yanri Sect was drinking spiritual wine in his cave in a restless manner.
The sect's alchemy master disappointed him once again. The alchemy materials he prepared eventually produced a fourth-grade low-level elixir for regenerating severed limbs.
This was already his fifth batch of alchemy materials, and he had spent most of his fortune on it.
He just wanted to ask the master alchemist to make a fourth-grade advanced elixir for severed limbs to repair his lost left leg.
He used his left leg as a secret method to save his life, and at the cost of his left leg he replaced the fatal injury on his body.
Only a fourth-grade advanced limb regeneration elixir can offset the power of the rules of the secret life-saving method and allow the lost left leg to grow back.
He also knew the difficulty of refining a fourth-grade high-level elixir. The probability of the sect's alchemy master refining a fourth-grade high-level elixir was too low, so he also wanted to try his luck.
As it turned out, his luck was not good, and he was unable to produce a fourth-grade advanced elixir for regenerating severed limbs with five sets of alchemy materials.
The more Mu Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. He thought about Li Shiming. How could he have been like this if it weren't for Li Shiming?
He seemed to have forgotten that it was he who took the initiative to cause trouble for Li Shiming.
Just then, he received a message.
After he became enemies with Li Shiming, he used the sect's intelligence system and spent a considerable amount of money to ask spies from the Wanshou Sect to help keep an eye on Li Shiming.
The news he received was the news that Li Shiming had left the sect, and also the direction in which Li Shiming left.
"You finally left the sect!" Mu Jing said gritting his teeth.
Naturally, he would not go looking for trouble with Li Shiming alone. His injuries made him afraid to leave the sect.
He took out some resources and used the help of a great person to invite Duan Zhen, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, to join the sect.
"Uncle Duan, please take action!" He sent the message to Duan Zhen, attaching the direction in which Li Shiming left.
"Xiao Mu, I was on a mission near the Wanshou Sect, so I just happened to get rid of him!" Duan Zhen replied quickly.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Master. I will thank you again when I come back!" Mu Jing replied in a good mood.
He took another sip of the spirit wine. Although his physical defect made his cultivation effect much less effective, he temporarily forgot about his physical defect after knowing that his great revenge had been achieved.
The physical defects of a Nascent Soul cultivator have a relatively small impact on his cultivation, but the cultivation time of a Nascent Soul cultivator is extremely long, and even a slight impact will be particularly serious due to the added time.
The most important thing is, if his physical disability is not properly treated, his popularity among his master will decrease, and this is the biggest trouble.
Duan Zhen was indeed near the Wanshou Sect. In recent times, the Wanshou Sect and the Yanri Sect had been targeting each other, and cultivators from both sides were attacked from time to time.
Duan Zhen looked at the message and a smile appeared on his face.
The target is the alchemy master who has become very famous in the Wanshou Sect in recent years. If he kills this target, in addition to being able to get a benefit from Mu Jing, the sect will also give him a lot of rewards.
It was simply killing two birds with one stone. Besides, he also knew that Li Shiming had a valuable treasure on him.
It is no secret that Li Shiming obtained the recognition of the "Taichu Treasure Tripod" from the Taichu Sect.
As a master of alchemy, Li Shiming himself has a considerable fortune.
Duan Zhen looked at the direction Li Shiming was heading, which was not far from where he was, so he could go there and make some arrangements in advance.
As for Li Shiming changing direction halfway, this rarely happens to a cultivator.
Monks are extremely sensitive to direction. Once they have chosen a target location, they will fly in a straight line towards it. They will not change direction unless there is an area ahead that they must avoid.
Of course, if Li Shiming really changed direction on the road, it would mean that Li Shiming was lucky and escaped the disaster.
Li Shiming controlled the 'Five-Colored Flying Phoenix Sword' and flew it using the sword-controlling technique. This was his way of strengthening his connection with the 'Five-Colored Flying Phoenix Sword'.
In two years, he refined the Five-Colored Flying Phoenix Sword to 100%. It would be much more difficult to strengthen it further and it could not be done in a short time.
Just like the Xingyi Sword of Li Yuanba's incarnation, it went through hundreds of years of sacrifice and refinement before it had the effect of increasing sword intent.
The current 'Five-Colored Flying Phoenix Sword' has only been refined normally. It is not easy to further refine it since it is not a life-saving magic weapon. However, sword cultivators can strengthen the connection between them by constantly driving the flying swords.
He was flying in the air, and the sword-controlling technique made him look more like a sword cultivator. He also liked the feeling of controlling the sword like a sword cultivator.
Duan Zhen discovered Li Shiming. He was in a cloud. His secret concealment technique was of a very high level and he became one with the cloud.
The Yanri Sect is good at sneak attacks. They can hide themselves and launch a sudden sneak attack, which is very difficult to defend against.
Li Shiming's "Divine Vision" did not detect Duan Zhen hiding in the clouds.
The "divine eyesight" is not omnipotent, and Duan Zhen's concealment skills are very sophisticated.
Li Shiming was flying on a sword, and when he approached the clouds, a black light shot towards him.
Duan Zhen was at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and had been accumulating strength for a long time just for this fatal blow. How could he let Li Shiming dodge it easily?
This is Li Shiming's own fault. If Li Shiming used "A World Away" to travel quickly, with the means of "A World Away" always prepared, he could use "A World Away" to dodge any sneak attack.
But today he used the sword-controlling technique. He was too confident in his "divine eyesight" and did not expect that he would be ambushed not far from the sect.
Wu Guang was a black flying sword. He even felt the aura of "Wang Yuan Ming Gong" from the black flying sword.
The black flying sword launched an attack from only fifty meters away from him. It was a powerful strike from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it could hit the target in one strike at a distance of fifty meters.
Li Shiming felt his scalp tingling. He knew the characteristics of the 'Wanyuan Mingsheng' very well. It made him realize that although the enemy did not use the Nascent Soul Dharma Image in this attack, the power of the attack was not weaker than the attack performed in the Nascent Soul Dharma Image state.
He was able to think so much in such a short moment, thanks to his life-long magic weapon IBMz15 which improved his thinking speed.
Although he had time to think, the time was too short, so short that his body could not make any reaction.
Just as the black flying sword was about to pierce Li Shiming's body, his robe flashed and a blue water dragon appeared, hovering over him and completely covering his body.
The black flying sword slashed at the water dragon. The blue water on the dragon's body rippled slightly but was not cut off.
"Fortunately, I have the 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe'!" Li Shiming breathed a sigh of relief. Although his physical training ability was good, he did not have the strength to rely on his body to withstand the attack of the flying sword driven by the 'Wanyuan Ming Gong'.
In particular, in his perception, the one who attacked him was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
He felt a little scared. Even though he had received a warning from Master Hu, he was still almost ambushed.
He had gained a lot of benefits two years ago and robbed a great monk of his wealth, which made him a little arrogant.
This time Duan Zhen taught him a good lesson and made him understand the dangers of the world of immortal cultivation.
"You do have a nice robe!" Duan Zhen was freed from the secret technique of concealment when he attacked. He was surprised to see that his attack did not work. He also discovered the quality of the 'Water Dragon Robe'.
He looked at the 'Water Dragon Robe' with greedy eyes. The robe had a powerful defensive spell that could be activated passively, which was almost equivalent to a monk's life.
He was not too worried about the 'Water Dragon Robe'. The 'Water Dragon Robe' could not cast this level of defensive spell multiple times.
Even if the 'Water Dragon Bodyguard' has been cast, it will only last for a few breaths before dissipating on its own.
He activated another secret technique, making his body extremely light and agile and greatly increasing his speed. He was ready. If Li Shiming tried to escape by taking advantage of the duration of the 'Water Dragon Bodyguard', he would chase after him.
In fact, Duan Zhen’s current behavior has violated his normal behavioral norms.
Under normal circumstances, he would only launch a sneak attack once. If he failed, he would flee far away.
But the situation was different this time. Li Shiming's realm was one level weaker than his. In addition to the 'Taichu Treasure Tripod', he also had this 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe'.
For the sake of the 'Water Dragon Taoist Robe', it is worth taking the risk to hunt down Li Shiming. There are not many opportunities to see a top-level fourth-grade magic weapon on an early Nascent Soul cultivator. And since the enemy is in a hostile state, it is a good opportunity to kill and seize the treasure.
