Chapter 67 Public Humiliation

After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual branch finally moved.

However, she did not walk towards the teleportation array as everyone imagined, but walked towards Du Xueling.

After the two talked for a while, Du Xueling nodded.

Lingzhi then left with satisfaction and went to the treasure house to select materials.

When he passed by the elder of Qi Sect, he sneered and said, "It's a side door, not worth mentioning."

Lingzhi nodded in response, turned around and left.

After Lingzhi disappeared, Nanwang asked Zhan Chenming curiously, "Third Senior Brother, what did Lingzhi want to say to Senior Sister?"

Zhan Chenming, who was very good at hearing and seeing, replied: "Fifth Junior Sister said that she wanted to recast her natal sword based on the Glazed Sword and asked whether the First Senior Sister agreed."

Nanwang asked in bewilderment, "Ah, what do you mean by recast?"

Zhan Chenming explained: "It is to recast the spirit sword based on its original foundation. This is easier than forging a sword from scratch, but there are risks. The spirit sword may break if it is recast. Even if it succeeds, the length of the sword will be shorter than the original one, which is not convenient to use."

Nan Wang thought for a moment and asked a key question: "How does the recast sword compare to the previous sword in terms of quality?"

Zhan Chenming finished the last sip of the spirit wine and replied, "The Glazed Sword was originally a mid-grade spirit sword. If it can be successfully recast, it will at least be a mid-grade spirit sword. But it's a bit difficult for a mid-grade spirit sword to defeat the elder."

Nan Wang was a little anxious when he heard this: "Is there no example of upgrading the grade after reconstruction?"

"Of course there is. It depends on the level of the equipment repair. If the level is high enough, you can do anything. Even if it is shocking and unconventional, it can be called personality."

Although Zhan Chenming did not say it explicitly, anyone who listened could hear that he was alluding to Chu Songping.

However, there are some things that Chu Songping can do but Lingzhi may not. After all, she does not have the exaggerated talent of Chu Songping. Even if she can really become the top weapon cultivator in the world, that will only happen in the future. What can Lingzhi do now?

The worry that Nan Wang had finally calmed down began to resurface.

Zhan Chenming said: "Recasting the spirit sword can retain part of the original spirit sword. If it were me, I would not want to throw away a sword that I have used for so many years."

"I understand! Lingzhi decided to take the risk and recast the natal sword out of consideration for our senior sister! Unlike some people... humph, they just show off their skills without any professional accomplishment!"

While holding the spiritual branch, Nan Wang did not forget to step on the elders. Finally, he sighed softly:

"Oh, it would be great if Senior Sister was also on the judging panel. At least Senior Sister could vote for Lingzhi."

Zhan Chenming said: "That's not necessarily true."

Nanwang: "Ah, what's uncertain?"

Zhan Chenming said: "If the senior sister is present, she can only cast one vote. If she is not present, it may not be one vote..."

Nanwang: “?”

He wanted to ask something else, but his thoughts were interrupted by the continuous exclamations.

"The furnace is on! The sword is ready!"

Amid the disciples' shouts of surprise, the elder of Qi Sect was the first to open the furnace.

The stove was slowly turned on, white smoke rose up and steam filled the air.

Nan Wang opened his eyes wide in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

What sword was completed? Why was it completed so quickly?

How long has it been? An hour?

It can be refined in one hour. Is it refining the natal sword, or a trivial magic weapon?

The elder of the Weapon Sect is not belittling the spiritual branch, but insulting it.

Not only did he insult Lingzhi, he also insulted Du Xueling.

As the undisputed eldest senior sister of Qingyun Sect, Du Xueling's task of refining her natal sword is a matter of great importance to the entire sect.

It took the Weapon Sect's elder less than an hour to complete the sword-forging. It was obvious that he didn't put any thought into it and just did it casually.

If his behavior were to be expressed in words, the general meaning would be - since you, Du Xueling, helped Lingzhi to cause this incident today, you should naturally bear my revenge!

Who is this person!

Nan Wang was furious, and his face turned red from the anger he was holding in his chest.

[What the hell, this is the elder of the Qi Sect! He has no professional ethics at all! ]

[He can refine it in one hour. Who does he think he is? No way, no way, he doesn't think he is Chu Songping, does he? 】

[Shameless old bitch! Pah! ]

Nan Wang was not the only one with a bad look on his face. The two elders of the Sword Sect were still sitting in the referee's seat.

Du Xueling was not only the sect's eldest senior sister, but also a favorite of the Sword Sect. Now that she was being treated like this in public, even the Second Elder, who was known for his good temper, put away his lazy look and sat up straighter.

Just a moment later, the elders' faces changed.

From simply being angry, it turned into being angry while trying to hold back a smile.

Each one of them is terribly twisted.

Zhan Chenming sighed: "Fourth Junior Brother, look, Fifth Junior Sister is still refining her weapon, don't disturb her."

Nan Wang was puzzled and asked, "How did I disturb her?"

Zhan Chenming sighed again and said, "Your thinking is too loud."

Nanwang: “???”

Before the extremely confused Nan Wang could ask anything, Chu Songping beside him spoke first:

"It won't have any impact. She has already entered the country."

"Ah?" Nan Wang asked, "What entry?"

Chu Songping replied: "See for yourself."

Nan Wang then turned his head to look at the spiritual branch, only to see that the other party was hanging in the air with her knees crossed, her whole body was shrouded in water vapor, and she could not be seen clearly. In front of her, the furnace was burned by the strange fire and turned the whole body into a fiery red, like a flaming rose bud about to bloom.

To be honest, Nanwang didn’t see anything.

But then he remembered, he knew what immigration was.

The state displayed when a cultivator is completely immersed in refining the instrument is called entry.

In modern competitive sports, this is called flow.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it means entering the country.

Entering the state of enlightenment is just like attaining enlightenment, which can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought. Ordinary practitioners must never take entering the state of enlightenment as an obsession, otherwise they will surely develop inner demons and their cultivation will be ruined.

However, Lingzhi's Seven Mysteries Exquisite Heart would never give rise to any inner demons. She, like Chu Songping, was born with a special ability that ordinary people don't have. Things that others can't do, or even dare not think about, are not difficult for her.

She only needs to take one step forward to get everything she wants.

And she had completely passed that step in the Fox Fairy Secret Realm when her eldest senior sister rescued her true body, her third senior brother fought bloody battles for her, and her youngest senior brother protected her Seven Secrets Exquisite Heart with wounds all over his body.

At this moment, she is the owner of the Seven-Heavenly Exquisite Heart and the only spiritual branch of the Qingyun Sect.

Of course, Chu Songping was not the only one who discovered the entry of spiritual branches.

No weapon cultivator would miss the entry scene, let alone the elders of the Weapon Sect who are proficient in this.

Any weapon cultivator, even a newly-qualified apprentice, knows that once a weapon is refined, it is guaranteed to be of top quality.

In addition, there is another sentence that many people do not understand very well, and only the top-level weapon cultivators who have experienced the entry can deeply understand it - there is no quenching after entering the country.

Among all the people present, only the elder of Qi Sect and Yu Hui knew that there was a problem with the spirit branch's quenching technique.

According to the original quenching method of the spirit branch, let alone refining a top-grade spirit sword, it is impossible to successfully refine a low-grade spirit sword.

This is exactly why the elder of Qi Zong can be so confident and so dismissive.

However, at this moment, a crack appeared in his indestructible barrier of self-confidence.

Once inside, the strange fire will move at will, and there is no need for quenching techniques. The plan he spent several years setting up for the spirit branch is of no use, at least at this moment.

In the heart of the Weapon Sect elder, the Spiritual Branch is still the same as when he set out for the Jade Buddha Secret Realm—

Clumsy, slow, and poor at speaking, his cultivation is mediocre, and his refined weapons are just so-so.

He just couldn't understand why the spiritual branch had undergone such a drastic change in such a short period of time.

If the change in personality was due to the deception of the outer disciple, then what about the entry into the country? What was the matter with the entry into the country?

Only the most experienced and determined cultivators have the possibility of entering. Before leaving the sect, he even instructed Lingzhi not to light the furnace privately. Could it be that Lingzhi secretly violated his rules?

Even if this is true, he was not in the sect during this period of time. From whom did he learn how to refine the spirit branch weapon?

In addition to the confusion, what was lingering in the elder's heart at this moment was a deep panic.

They are fighting with weapons.

If the spirit branch could really refine a top-grade spirit sword, could he really win easily?

Soon, the disciples who were watching noticed the condition of the spirit branch, and they all exclaimed in amazement from the bottom of their hearts:

"Immigration, immigration!"

"Oh my god, I am not seeing things, this is amazing."

"I only know superficially what I have read on paper. Today, I see with my own eyes and I know the difference between heaven and earth."

"The imported refining equipment is guaranteed to be top-grade, and the outcome of today's battle is still unclear..."

"Oh my God, is it today?"

While the weapon cultivator elder was panicking, Chu Songping was explaining his concept of cultivating immortals to Nanwang: "The time and grade of refining weapons or pills do not correspond one to one. It is common to refine a bunch of garbage after three days and three nights of hard work. Similarly, it is not surprising to refine an immortal product casually."

Nanwang: “…”

What a Chu Songping style speech this is.

Too Versailles.

After boasting in a flowery way, Chu Songping suddenly changed the subject and said, "I came to Qingyun Sect late, and I haven't seen the heroic figures of the previous generations. According to the rumors... I'm afraid that only Lingzhi in the sect can compare with him. Third Senior Brother, what do you think?"

Zhan Chenming's hand holding the wine bottle trembled slightly, pretending not to hear the strange name, and laughed, "Of course."

Nanwang didn't understand what the two were talking about: "What previous generation?"

Zhan Chenming explained: "The previous owner of the Seven-Demon Exquisite Heart was Mu Yuanyao, a well-known figure in the weapon cultivation world. She is no longer in the sect and has gone out to establish her own sect."

Chu Songping said, "Weapon cultivation is similar to alchemy cultivation. It does not matter what level of cultivation or age you have. The capable person will take the position. The elder who is in charge of the Weapon Sect in Qingyun Sect is just mediocre and has no style of the previous generation. If he is removed, it will be a disgrace to our Qingyun Sect. It is better to change the dynasty as soon as possible and let a more suitable person take over. Third Brother, what do you think?"

Zhan Chenming: "..."

He said whatever he said.

He had nothing to say.

When you gods fight, don't drag a mortal like him into it.
