Xue Kong kept himself in peak condition. Next, he was going to condense the Heavenly Sword.
Xue Kong did not know the advanced weapon refining methods, but this Heavenly Sword had already been half refined. He only needed to add new materials and continue to temper it.
From Xue Kong's perspective, it is not difficult to continue refining a semi-finished product.
"The Longhorn Beetle Lizard is a brave and aggressive solitary monster. There are not many Longhorn Beetle Lizards in the Earth Demon Valley. Even with Xing Wuliang's strength, he can only get a pair of Longhorn Beetle Lizards..."
"The remaining longhorn beetle lizards may have been taken by others first."
"Even if I go and look for it now, I'm afraid it will be a waste of effort and useless."
"Right now, I only have a pair of longhorn beetle horns. Resources are limited and cannot be wasted on tempering the Heavenly Sword, but..." Xue Kong's mind moved, and he slapped the beast-breeding bag and took out a ghost fish worm.
"I have quite a few ghost fish eggs, which are also a kind of weapon refining material. I will use them to improve the grade of the Heavenly Sword."
After the ghost fish worm swallowed the flesh and blood of the cultivator, it could have hatched the eggs in its belly into ghost fish worm larvae within a month. However, now all the ghost fish worm's cultivation has been sealed by Xue Kong.
Their hatching process was also forced to stop.
The ghost fish worm is ferocious and violent, and has an extraordinary intelligence. Although its cultivation has been sealed and it has been suppressed, it still struggles desperately, trying to break free.
It stared at Xue Kong with a ferocious look, waiting for the opportunity to devour Xue Kong.
Xue Kong turned a blind eye to this.
He raised his hand and pointed at the three heavenly swords in the air.
The Heavenly Sword responded immediately, whistling towards him.
It did not fly towards Xue Kong, but the tip of the knife turned and pierced directly into the body of the ghost fish worm, cutting open its abdomen. The hard scales were as fragile as tofu in front of the blood-refined Heavenly Sword.
It was cut open in an instant.
The densely packed yellow eggs in the belly of the ghost fish worm were exposed, and there were tiny black shadows in the eggs, which were the unformed ghost fish worm larvae.
Xue Kong released his cultivation power and cast a small fireball spell, shooting out flames that burned the ghost fish worms and the Heavenly Sword together with the densely packed monster eggs, all of which were burned with a sizzling sound.
The air was suddenly filled with a burnt smell.
"Extract the soul!" Xue Kong raised his hand across the flames and grabbed the eggs fiercely.
A ghost fish insect egg suddenly exploded with a bang, and yellow juice splashed everywhere, but before it flew out of the range of the flames, it evaporated into a wisp of yellow smoke.
At this moment, an unformed ghost fish worm's soul flew out from the exploded egg.
It screamed and roared, and just as it was about to escape, a heavenly sword immediately came up to it, cut the soul in half, and then devoured it completely.
As Xue Kong continued to cast spells, the ghost fish eggs exploded one after another, with a series of bangs, juice splashing everywhere, and they were burned by flames, with yellow smoke billowing.
Every time a ghost fish worm egg explodes, the Heavenly Sword will fly up and cut open the remaining soul of the ghost fish worm and absorb it.
After all the eggs were condensed into souls and absorbed by the three heavenly swords, Xue Kong took out another ghost fish worm. Before it could show its ferocious appearance, he followed the same method and took the eggs to refine the treasure.
The fire in the cave flickered continuously, reflecting on Xue Kong's calm face. The popping sounds of ghost fish eggs exploding were endless, and the Heavenly Sword vibrated and buzzed, as if it was very excited.
He killed seven ghost fish worms in a row and refined hundreds of their residual souls, which were absorbed by the Heavenly Sword.
Xue Kong then stopped, and quickly made a series of hand seals with his hands, hitting the three heavenly swords one by one, and truly began the process of refining.
This process lasted three days in total.
Three days later, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Xue Kong's forehead. Around him, the fragments of the spirit stones that had been sucked dry piled up in piles. In just three days, he absorbed hundreds of spirit stones.
The flame that was used to temper the magic weapon in front of him was always burning fiercely and never went out.
During Xue Kong's three days of continuous tempering, the three heavenly swords gradually exuded a more powerful and domineering aura, and sharp sword lights flashed from time to time.
On this day, as Xue Kong stopped his hands, the three heavenly swords in the air gradually stopped rotating and floated there quietly, with smooth and sharp blades.
"Finally, I succeeded in tempering it." Xue Kong exhaled tiredly, raised his hand gently, and summoned three Heavenly Swords. "It's a pity that I'm still a little short of it. I still haven't advanced the Heavenly Swords to the mid-level Earth Grade."
"The ghost fish worm eggs alone are not enough. It seems that we are missing an important ingredient. What is it?"
Xue Kong doesn't know how to refine treasures, he only knows the most basic rituals.
He felt that if a magic weapon wanted to advance, just like a person wanted to break through his cultivation level, there would be a bottleneck, and to break through this bottleneck, special materials were needed.
In his previous life, he had never seen anyone refining treasures, so he had almost no knowledge of this area.
"Although the Heavenly Sword has not yet reached the mid-grade Earth level, I have a feeling that it is only one material away from the mid-grade Earth level. I just don't know what that material is."
Xue Kong's eyes flashed, knowing that he would never get the answer by just imagining it, but fortunately, after his tempering, the power of the Heavenly Sword reached a new level.
If Xing Wuliang had fought him with the current Heavenly Sword back then.
Unless he uses all his trump cards, he will never be a match for Xing Wuliang.
"Xing Wuliang doesn't have that material in his storage bag. I think he's planning to get it from the Earth Demon Valley."
Xue Kong's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "If I want to know the answer, I must find a cultivator with relatively advanced cultivation and ask for advice."
Thinking of this, Xue Kong waved his sleeves and put away the Heavenly Sword.
He looked inward with his spiritual sense, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Just three days of continuous tempering of magic weapons has made me so exhausted. My cultivation is still too low."
"I'm going into seclusion and won't come out until I reach the tenth level of Qi Condensation!"
Xue Kong is a child of destiny.
Apart from the misfortune of having an immortal fetus and cursed body, he possesses a wood-attributed spiritual root. In all third-level and even fourth-level cultivation countries, it would be difficult to find someone who can surpass him in talent.
Even so, his cultivation speed cannot be considered fast at present, mainly because of the lack of cultivation resources.
If the human body is compared to a wine jug with equal internal space.
Place the wine jug outside your house when it is raining.
Some wine jugs have large mouths, so it takes less time to fill them with rainwater. Some wine jugs have small mouths, so it naturally takes more time to fill them.
Cultivation resources are like tools that can help a wine jug with a large mouth to be filled with rainwater in a shorter time, and they can also help a wine jug with a small mouth to be filled with rainwater faster than a wine jug with a large mouth.
Similarly, no matter how good your talent is, if you don’t have enough training resources to support you, you may not be faster than others.
Fortunately, during this period of time, Xue Kong obtained a lot of cultivation resources from the cultivators he killed, including nearly two thousand low-grade spirit stones and some elixirs that he did not recognize.
With his qualifications, these are more than enough to raise his cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
Xue Kong took out two spirit stones from his storage bag, held one in each hand, and absorbed them with all his strength.
He stood up, walked out of the cave and went away.
