Wu Lingyao was very forthcoming in answering Chen Yi's questions.
After all, he had accepted seven Happy Talismans from Chen Yi and promised to teach him the complete version of the Sword Control Technique, but at that time he did not have his own flying sword.
Now that Chen Yi has somehow acquired a short sword, she didn't ask any further questions.
"The methods for recognizing and nurturing a sword are all written here. Take a look." Wu Lingyao handed a small notebook to Chen Yi.
"Alright!" Chen Yi nodded. "You all sit down and rest for a while. I'll protect you."
This way, he can study the method of sword cultivation while protecting them...
Opening the notebook Wu Lingyao gave me, I found the method of recognizing swords written on it.
The so-called "sword recognition" refers to both a person recognizing a sword and a sword recognizing its master.
It's all about how well they match each other.
Generally speaking, it takes some time to experience whether one can truly accept a sword.
But Chen Yi was not too worried about this.
Because the Yang-patterned sword in his hand seemed to be extremely dependent on him.
Especially after he activated his pure Yang power, it wanted nothing more than to get close to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi also took a liking to this small but powerful short sword.
In this situation, the process of recognizing the sword is considered to be completed directly.
The next step is the process of nurturing the sword.
"Using spiritual energy to refine the metal's texture, enhancing its sharpness and spirituality. There are several methods of refining it..."
Chen Yi's gaze quickly swept over the lines of elegant handwriting.
Once he enters a state of flow, he can basically read ten lines at a glance and his thoughts are incredibly clear.
Within minutes, he had memorized all of Wu Lingyao's notes and then began to practice.
However, he did not use spiritual energy, but pure yang energy.
He discovered that when he used spiritual energy to nourish the Yang Pattern Sword, its response was mediocre.
However, if one uses pure Yang energy to nurture it, it will become extremely "excited".
Perhaps even its former owner was unaware of this secret.
Because Chen Yi did not sense any trace of pure Yang energy from the male debt collector.
"laugh!"
As he nurtured the short sword with pure Yang energy, the Yang patterns on the sword became increasingly clear.
He could sense that the short sword was approaching the limit of a high-grade magic weapon.
This continued for several hours.
"Buzz!"
The Yangwen Sword suddenly erupted with a loud sword cry, its blade like a red-hot iron, the patterns on it as dazzling as the sunlight.
Chen Yi stared at it without blinking: "What's going on?"
"It's been upgraded."
At that moment, Wu Lingyao's voice came.
She and Yu Qian have almost finished their repairs.
"Upgraded?" Chen Yi's expression lit up with joy.
“Yes, its current state is as if it has been reforged by a weapon refiner, but its grade is no longer that of a high-grade magic weapon, but rather a top-grade magic weapon,” Wu Lingyao nodded.
"Once it cools down, the process is considered complete."
She was curious where Chen Yi had gotten the sword, as it suited him so well.
"Wow! A top-grade magic artifact!" Yu Qian's eyes sparkled. "I don't have many of those myself."
Chen Yi's initial elation was instantly dampened.
Does that mean you have several magical artifacts of this quality?
Damn it! I'll fight you rich people to the death!
Fortunately, his resolve was strong enough that he quickly regained his self-satisfaction.
It should be known that a top-grade magic artifact can be regarded as a treasure by a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.
Even some early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who aren't very wealthy are still using this kind of magical artifact.
From this perspective, Chen Yi now possesses a rather impressive flying sword.
The key point is that he felt that the top-grade magic weapon was not the limit of the Yangwen Sword; it could even become more advanced.
Even more advanced than magical artifacts are spiritual artifacts, which are artifacts imbued with spirit.
“The cooling process will take a long time, perhaps several hours. Let’s get going first,” Yu Qian suggested.
Chen Yi nodded. Indeed, they had been lingering here for quite a while.
A moment later, the three continued on their way.
After several more hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain...
Under the shroud of mist, an ancient village appears and disappears.
What you see is a row of old wooden houses, fences covered in mold, and all sorts of white bone decorations hanging from the eaves, which is both eerie and mysterious.
"Are there any strange legends about this village?" Chen Yi asked.
Yu Qian said softly, "It is said that decades ago, the Yinshan natives lived here and built this mountain village. They made a living by plundering, but they disappeared after the entire Yinshan became a secret realm, leaving only these empty buildings."
"What kind of rare and precious materials are produced here?" Chen Yi asked tentatively.
"It's something called phosphorescent fire, which appears around the village in the middle of the night. Each appearance lasts no more than an hour."
"If we encounter them, how do we collect them?"
Yu Qian smiled faintly, "There are two ways. One is to grab it and refine it instantly, and the other is to store it in a spatial artifact, where it can be stored for a long time."
Chen Yi was slightly taken aback. "Wouldn't it be inappropriate to refine it immediately?"
“That’s right!” Yu Qian looked at him with admiration. “Refining rare and precious materials takes time. If someone with jealousy targets you, it could be dangerous.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi secretly rejoiced.
Luckily, I also have a storage bag...
His backpack had been pierced by the Yangwen Sword, and everything, including the talismans, had been put into his storage bag.
"It seems there are other people in this village besides us."
Yu Qian glanced at the old wooden houses, some of which had lights on.
After all, they were ambushed by those people from the Three Mysteries Sect, which took them some time on the way.
Her map of the Silver Mountain Secret Realm was not unique; other cultivators also possessed it.
“Let’s find a house to stay in too!” Yu Qian said, her gaze sweeping over the houses at the foot of the mountain.
"That one will do!"
She pointed to a simple house.
This house was not chosen randomly, but rather based on the principles of Yin-Yang theory and feng shui, which determined that the probability of phosphorescent fire appearing in the surrounding area was higher.
Based on past experience, the location of this house is also a major point of contention.
Some monks would fight each other over a house in a good location.
Fortunately, although they were delayed for several hours on the road, there were still very few people arriving in Yinshan Village, and no disputes arose over the houses.
But who knows, maybe later...
"The secret realm opens at 4:44 AM. We spent several hours detoxifying ourselves and several hours traveling. Now there's only an hour left before midnight, so we need to hurry and get ourselves ready," Yu Qian said quickly.
She went into the wooden house, used magic to clean away the dust that had accumulated over the years, and then took out three prayer cushions.
She pointed to the meditation cushions and said, "Meditating on these cushions will speed up your recovery. You should try it..."
