"It succeeded, it really succeeded this time." Qu Shanling shouted ecstatically, tears of joy in her eyes.
His master's face reappeared in his mind. He still remembered the eager anticipation in his master's eyes when he taught him the Heavenly Star Seal Breaking Technique. He also remembered the disappointment on his master's face when he had practiced hard for several years but still couldn't get it right. But even so, his master never scolded him and continued to take care of him as attentively as before. Even the disappointment on his face was only a flash and was quickly hidden for fear that he would be sad if he saw it.
"Master, I finally learned it, I finally learned it, can you see it, I finally learned it, Master, where are you, old man, can you see it?" Qu Shanling burst into tears. A middle-aged man in his forties actually cried like a child.
Seeing the tears of joy and longing on Qu Shanling's face, Mu Hanyan and the others were moved and stared at the big pool in silence.
The grayish-blue surface seemed to have been washed clean by rain, and a faint dark green glow shone through it, giving people a sense of solemnity, as if it were made of fine steel and was indestructible. The entire surface was covered with dense patterns, and countless tiny characters were engraved in it, giving it a sense of solemnity.
However, the energy that permeates from it is full of ethereality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"What on earth is this?" Jiang Yuzhe asked curiously.
After hearing his words, Qu Shanling regained his composure and suddenly thought of a question: According to the previous situation, he should not be able to break the seal with his own strength, and he might be seriously injured by the backlash. Fortunately, the last light talisman appeared and broke the seal in time, allowing him to escape. Why was that?
Qu Shanling looked towards Mu Hanyan. Among those present, only Mu Hanyan understood the Star Illusion Thousand Machines Technique, and only she could break the seal at the critical moment.
But when I just mentioned the Heavenly Star Seal Breaking Technique, she clearly knew nothing about it and asked me in confusion. Could it be that he learned it by following my hand gestures? How could that be possible? Back then, I studied hard for over ten years and still couldn't get started. How could he have mastered it just by reading it a few times?
Qu Shanling couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. If he knew that Mu Hanyan had learned not only the Heavenly Star Seal Breaking Technique but also the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique from him, he didn't know what he would think.
"Master Qu, what on earth is this?" Mu Hanyan saw the confusion in Qu Shanling's eyes, but was too lazy to explain to him. In fact, even she herself hadn't expected it. She just imitated a few hand gestures and easily broke the seal.
Could it be luck again? Glancing at the sleepy piglet lying on her chest, Mu Hanyan wasn't sure, nor did she want to dwell on it. She was more concerned about the origins of this huge pond.
It was not until the seal was broken that she realized that the power contained in it was not just a simple blow from a swordsman, but was almost as strong as that of a sword saint. If she had not been there, Qu Shanling would not even know how he died.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Qu Shanling temporarily suppressed his doubts in his heart, walked forward to take a closer look, and gradually, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face again.
"Sword Washing Pool, this is the Sword Washing Pool!" Qu Shanling's lips trembled with excitement.
"What sword washing pool?" Seeing Qu Shanling so excited, Zirong asked in confusion.
"Have you heard of swordsmiths? You've also heard of the saying that it takes ten years to forge a sword and ten years to sharpen it. A true divine weapon has been tempered through thousands of hammerings and refinements. As the saying goes, a sword is sharpened by grinding. For a true peerless divine sword, sword forging and hammering are important, but sword sharpening is equally important. This sword washing pool is where swordsmiths sharpen their swords." Qu Shanling explained quickly, his hand gently stroking the smooth pool wall, his affectionate eyes giving people goose bumps.
"Just say it's a whetstone, what's so special about it?" Zirong said disapprovingly.
"Whetstone, you actually think this is a whetstone? This is the legendary Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool." Qu Shanling laughed.
Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool! Mu Hanyan's heart moved. Others might not have heard of the origin of the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, but she happened to know a little bit.
"The swordsmiths of our Holy Court Continent have passed down their skills from generation to generation, either from master to apprentice, or from son to father. Whether it's the furnaces used to forge swords or the sword-washing pools used to sharpen swords, they are naturally also passed down from generation to generation.
The more profound the swordsmith's background, the longer the legacy of their furnace and sword-washing pool. Legend has it that some ancient sword-washing pools have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, with generations of swordsmiths using them to refine and wash swords. Countless swords have been forged there, including some legendary weapons, some even legendary artifacts.
Over time, the spiritual essence of the sword will gather in it. Such a furnace is called the Sword Heart Bone Forging Furnace, and such a sword washing pool is called the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool.
"Forging a sword with the Sword Heart Bone Forging Furnace can transform even a pile of scrap metal into a weapon sharp enough to sever hair. As for the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, if it's an ordinary sword, it's fine. But if it's already of exceptional quality, after being sharpened there, it might even incubate spirituality and become a legendary artifact!" Qu Shanling went on to explain, and Mu Hanyan heard exactly the same thing.
No wonder her Frost Sky Sword reacted this way. You know, her Frost Sky Sword wasn't just of exceptional quality. Influenced by the Chixiao Sword's aura, it already possessed spirituality, though it was too weak to compare with a divine sword like the Chixiao Sword. If it were tempered by the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, its spirituality would surely increase significantly, becoming a true divine weapon!
"No wonder the young master's sword made a sound before, so this is the reason." Zirong and the others also thought of this and looked at Mu Hanyan together.
Owning a divine weapon-level sword is, of course, every swordsman's dream. While Qu Shanling might have made light of it, they knew that imbuing a longsword with spirituality required more than simply having decent quality; it required exceptionally high quality. While their swords were decent, they fell far short of divine weapon status. Only Mu Hanyan's Hanxiao Sword qualified.
In fact, the reason why the Hanxiao Sword rang several times before was also for this reason.
"Haha, I have predicted before that as long as the eldest young master is willing to help me turn misfortune into good fortune, there will be a great opportunity. Master also said that this opportunity should be reserved for the person with a predestined relationship. It seems that the eldest young master is this predestined person." Qu Shanling laughed, but as he laughed, his face froze.
Hua Yue and the others also looked stern and looked around vigilantly.
According to Qu Shanling's divination, there will be an opportunity only if misfortune is turned into good fortune. Now the opportunity has come, but what about the bad omen?
"Lu Guantian, Lu Guantian, you are worthy of the name Guantian. You even found such a rare treasure of heaven and earth." Suddenly, there was a long laugh, and then a young man floated silently and said with emotion.
Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, thinking that the person coming had bad intentions!
(Summoning the hero, come out, Chukachu!)
