Xiao Tian's words delighted Qin Feng.
When he first rediscovered the laws, he saw that the fiery red ore was very hot, and knew that it was no ordinary object.
Now it can be integrated into his sword to increase its power.
"Xiao Tian, give me the three ores: fire, gold, and wood. Let me take a look."
Xiao Tian agreed and sent them out of the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl.
Qin Feng looked at the four types of ore in front of him, pondered for a moment, made a decision, and began to work.
He first put the star ore into the furnace to calcine it, and he found that the temperature of the earth fire alone could not melt it.
He then added flint used for refining weapons to increase the temperature of the flames. Only then did the star ore begin to change, though the process was very slow.
At this rate, it will take several months to see any results.
Qin Feng frowned, used his true fire to increase his speed, but he still felt it wasn't enough, so he directly used the power of the Law of Fire.
This speeds things up considerably, and I estimate it will be effective in less than a day.
Qin Feng could accept this pace, so he maintained it and smelted the star ore.
At the same time, he also began smelting the other three types of ores: fire, gold, and wood.
And so, as time slowly passed, Qin Feng removed the impurities from the prepared materials, retaining only the essence, and completed the refining process.
The next step was to create the sword blank according to his design; he didn't have any special requirements for the sword's shape.
He drew inspiration from the Imperial Sword Flying Rainbow and the precious sword he had seen at the Heavenly Sword Sect.
He combined the refined materials one by one to form a sword blank.
The sword blank now appears extraordinary, with a silver-white blade and faint red, gold, blue, and black spiritual light appearing throughout, making it colorful, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful.
The next step was different from the others' weapon-refining process; Qin Feng chose the sword-planting technique taught to him by Ling Wushang.
The process of "sword cultivation" involves nurturing a sword embryo as a seed, nourishing it with the blood of a cultivator, and forging an unparalleled bond between the sword and the cultivator.
The first thing Qin Feng had to do was to inscribe the Five Elements Spirit Communication Array that Ling Wushang had told him about.
This formation is not meant to unleash the sword's full power, but rather to imbue the sword with spiritual energy, preparing it for the development of sword techniques.
With the formation complete, Qin Feng tried to infuse it with spiritual energy to check if it was feasible.
The sword blank emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and a faint sound of sword chime could be heard.
Qin Feng smiled happily, which proved that his previous actions were correct and everything went smoothly.
He then placed the sword embryo into the small world, watered it with his blood, and set up a spirit-summoning array around it.
This formation was also told to him by Ling Wushang, and it can speed up the completion of the sword planting technique.
The preliminary preparations for the sword have come to an end. Next, Qin Feng will water it with fresh blood every day to connect it with his mind and help it become spiritually connected.
Qin Feng smiled, straightened his clothes, and left the Qi Refining Room.
At this point, he already had the idea of leaving. Coming to the East was an accident in the first place, but it was not a loss that he had gained a precious sword of his own by chance.
As soon as Qin Feng appeared, he spotted Ling Wushang. "Senior, were you waiting for me?"
Ling Wushang waved his hand, "Hehe, I was worried that you might need help, so I came to check on you."
Qin Feng felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this. "Thank you, senior. So far, things are going smoothly. I wonder how long it will take to master this sword technique?"
Ling Wushang shook his head.
"Actually, there's no such thing as a long time; you can use it anytime."
As you've probably realized, the so-called "sword cultivation technique" is actually about nurturing the spirit of a sword and its compatibility with its master.
If I had to give a timeframe, it would be until your sword develops a sword spirit; at that point, the sword-cultivation technique will lose its effect.
Qin Feng understood; the birth of a weapon spirit meant the creation of a new life, which belonged to a different realm.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, senior."
Ling Wushang waved his hand, "Young friend, you're too kind. If possible, please give Ling Hao some more guidance."
Qin Feng nodded. "I'll learn in the next few days. By the way, I'd like to let you know in advance that I will be leaving the Ling family soon."
Ling Wushang looked stunned upon hearing this, and somewhat lost his composure, saying:
"What? Young friend, you're leaving already? Won't you stay a few more days? Let us treat you well; you haven't yet repaid the kindness of our Ling family!"
Qin Feng shook his head. "Hehe, senior, you flatter me. It's all fate. There's no need to take it to heart."
Ling Wushang came to his senses and asked with concern:
"Young friend, is there some urgent matter you've encountered? Do you need the help of the Ling family? If I, Ling Wushang, can help, I will certainly not hesitate."
Qin Feng quickly waved his hand and explained:
"I appreciate your kindness, senior, but to be honest, my coming to the Ling family was purely by chance."
I had made an appointment with some people to meet them in the south, and judging by the time, they should have arrived by now.
Ling Wushang nodded upon hearing this. Qin Feng never belonged to the Ling family and would leave sooner or later.
"In that case, let us treat you well these next few days. Please don't be shy."
...
The Sanctuary, in the south.
A mountain peak with a superior mineral vein, not far from where Zhou Jian and his senior brother Yu Jing established the new Heavenly Sword Sect.
At this moment, two distinct factions stood facing each other, led by the Qingyun Sect and the Tianchi Dynasty.
Among them were people from the Heavenly Sword Sect, as well as people from many other sects.
Xiao Fan, Yin Tiantian, Xiao Shitou, Zhou Jian, Deng Tianning, and other people Qin Feng knew were all there.
There's another person Qin Feng would definitely recognize if he saw him: Xu Yiming, the one who tried to kidnap the Phantom Dragon Ao Ling in the Monster Forest.
He was from the Tianchi Dynasty. He was beaten by Qin Feng and had to use a teleportation talisman to escape. He also claimed that his father was the Martial Emperor.
This was because the Tianchi Dynasty and the Qingxuan Sect had a dispute over a high-grade mineral vein, and they decided to let the cultivators within their jurisdiction resolve the issue.
Xiao Fan, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Shitou successfully passed the selection process of the Qingyun Sect and earned the opportunity to represent the Qingyun Sect in the battle.
If they win, the Qingyun Sect will reward them, which will greatly benefit the Tianjian Sect.
The Tianchi Dynasty is headed by Xu Yiming.
The Qingxuan Sect was led by a young cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, named Tang Yao.
It seems that both sides are using this kind of thing to cultivate their younger disciples.
Xu Yiming looked at Tang Yao of Qingxuan Sect and said calmly:
"Tang Yao, according to the old rules, the competition is divided into three cultivation levels: Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. Each side will send ten cultivators."
The winner is determined by a points system, with the winner gaining one point, the loser losing one point, and no points awarded for a draw.
Whoever wins the total score gets to own this top-grade mineral vein.
I'm sure you were already prepared, so let's not waste any more time and get started.
Tang Yao nodded. "Of course, Xu Yiming, it seems you're very confident this time."
Xu Yiming seemed to be in a bad mood. Normally, he would chat with Tang Yao for a while.
The two were quite familiar with each other, but Xu Yiming was unwilling to say much at the moment, wanting to finish this mission so he could go back.
Tang Yao found it a bit strange; Xu Yiming seemed like a completely different person, but he didn't ask any further questions.
"Alright, let's begin. Those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage, go first."
