Chapter 236
After hearing Chi Xuan's praise, the treasure-hunting rat's original reluctance immediately disappeared.
It transforms into a ruthless digging machine, its small body filled with unprecedented energy.
The small hole that was just dug by the tip of Chixuan's soft sword was rapidly growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The treasure-hunting mouse was digging very hard, and Chi Xuan just stood by to cheer it on.
About three incense sticks later, Ye Lan saw the treasure-hunting rat crawling out of the pit.
"Master, we've dug according to the direction Xuanxuan mentioned! Come down and take a look."
Ye Lan: ...
It was a waste of his worry, these two babies were already calling him Xuanxuan.
Ye Lan followed the treasure-hunting mouse and jumped towards the newly dug hole. Before he jumped, he didn't know what it meant to have another world.
The cave was dug according to the direction pointed by Chi Xuan. It did not go straight down vertically, but had several turns along the way.
Ye Lan could clearly feel that the further he went down, the hotter the cave became.
This feeling is very similar to the one I had at that volcano before.
Ye Lan couldn't help but quicken his pace. In the firelight, he finally saw the so-called treasure that attracted Chi Xuan.
It was a pitch-black stone, quite inconspicuous.
If the stone had not been right in the center of the fire and Chi Xuan had not been circling around it, he really would not have been able to discover it.
This is not entirely Ye Lan's fault. If there is anyone to blame, it is only because the light here is almost blinding Ye Lan.
Because there is not only that treasure in this cave, but...
A cave full of treasures!
"Master! Look at this, this, this! This is a great elixir for alchemy! It looks like it's at least tens of thousands of years old, so it can't be of this quality!"
"Ah! Blazing Wing Fruit! Ahhhh, a thousand-year-old spiritual herb that can cleanse spiritual roots!"
“Ahhh, this is actually the mysterious grass that can make spirit beasts evolve!!!”
The treasure-hunting mouse jumped back and forth among the treasures, and excitedly touched each treasure with its claws.
The corners of his mouth were almost drooling!
Ye Lan looked around before walking over to Chi Xuan and asking, "What is this stone? Why do you feel a connection to it?"
Ye Lan was full of questions. In his opinion, there was a mystery about Chi Xuan, and Chi Xuan himself didn't know the mystery.
Chi Xuan didn't know anything. She twirled her soft sword and said gloomily, "I don't know why. I just know that this thing is very important to me. I lost my memory and didn't know anything at first, but for some reason, I felt it calling me as soon as I got here."
As Chi Xuan spoke, a red light bloomed from the center of the soft sword.
Just like when Chi Xuan first entered the soft sword, she looked like she was about to come out.
Ye Lan waited for a few seconds, and the red light flashed faster and faster.
Chi Xuan's anxious voice also came to my ears.
"This! What's going on! I can't get out!"
Her tone was tearful, which surprised Ye Lan. He quickly asked, "Not coming out? What do you mean?"
Isn't it true that the sword spirit can enter and exit freely before it merges with the spirit sword?
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.
After all, his spiritual sword was just a broken one.
Chi Xuan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She tried hard to break out of the spirit sword, but failed every time.
The treasure that was calling her was right before her eyes, but she couldn't get out!
"I... I don't know either. I haven't merged with it yet, so I should be able to enter and exit freely. But I've tried several times, and I always feel like something is trapping me and won't let me out!"
Ye Lan was confused when he thought about what the shopkeeper said when he bought this soft sword.
"This soft sword is also a damaged product. How can it trap you?"
Chi Xuan, however, could not hear a word he said. She was still madly colliding inside the soft sword, trying to use it to release the sword body.
But she tried several times and found that she couldn't break through the barrier at all.
When he was sure that he really couldn't get out, Chi Xuan finally couldn't control his tears.
"Wow, wow, I'm not free anymore! I can't go out. I can only stay in this broken sword for the rest of my life!"
Ye Lan hated to see girls crying, and he immediately became flustered.
Chi Xuan was still inside the soft sword, and she couldn't wipe her tears for her. She could only coax her with kind words and calm her down.
"Don't be anxious, don't cry. This spirit sword won't let you out for no reason. There must be some reason we don't know. What will happen if you come out now? Do you want to live in this stone?"
As Ye Lan spoke, he used his spiritual power to take the black stone into his hands.
The treasure-hunting rat, who was rolling around excitedly nearby, also heard the commotion and immediately ran over, coaxing, "Yes, yes, Xuanxuan, what the master said makes sense. You are a sword spirit, so it's natural for you to live in a sword. If you want this black stone, can't the master help you integrate it into the sword?"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Chi Xuan slowly stopped crying, and Ye Lan saw that the soft sword began to flash red light again.
Chi Xuan's voice also came out with the flashing.
"Master, can you help me refine this black stone and fuse it with this soft sword?"
Although he couldn't see Chi Xuan's appearance, he could imagine that Chi Xuan was blinking his big eyes and looking at him eagerly.
Ye Lan nodded and agreed.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you."
It is not certain whether Chi Xuan can absorb it after the fusion.
Ye Lan looked at Chi Xuan's expectant expression and didn't want to dampen her hope.
In this way, Ye Lan was forced to do the first weapon refining in his life.
Fortunately, it’s just a fusion and there’s no special technology involved.
Only then did Ye Lan dare to agree to Chi Xuan. Ye Lan sat down cross-legged and tried to immerse himself in the situation.
He adjusted his breath and then began to fuse the spirit sword with the black stone.
A stream of spiritual power was released from both hands, and Ye Lan's fire spiritual root began to exert power instantly.
The scorching flames instantly enveloped the black stone. Ye Lan continued to exert force, and the temperature of the flames continued to rise.
Ye Lan increased the temperature several times but failed to refine the black stone.
In order not to disappoint Chi Xuan, Ye Lan could only grit his teeth and continue to raise the flames.
After an unknown amount of time, the rock-hard black stone slowly began to melt bit by bit.
Ye Lan didn't care about anything else. He immediately pointed to Chi Xuan in front of him. Chi Xuan immediately controlled the soft sword to fly to the center of the fire.
Ye Lan carefully controlled the temperature, while distracting himself by searching the Qiankun bag for the refining materials he had prepared before. He decided to take this opportunity to modify the soft sword so that Chi Xuan could live more comfortably.
