Li Zheng was about to summon the forbidden spear, but before he could act, the Fire Lotus Sword turned directly into a sword lotus, enveloping the evil spirit within the huge sword lotus.
Light explosions continued to sound from within the sword lotus, and the evil spirit was unable to rush out for a while, as if it was trapped in a cage.
"Can the Fire Lotus Sword be used like this?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He had never seen the Fire Lotus Sword played like this before.
The sword light inside the sword lotus kept interweaving, colliding and exploding with the magic light of the demon spirit, making a terrifying crackling sound. The sword lotus itself endured such a terrifying light explosion, and it was a continuous impact, but it was not damaged or broken.
Li Xiu discovered that the sword lotus was spinning rapidly, and the gear-like sword light was spinning and strangling along with the sword lotus, just like a huge grinder, twisting non-stop.
After the demonic light of the evil spirit collided with the sword light, the resulting light explosion and shock wave became the driving force for the sword lotus to rotate, pushing the sword lotus and the gear-like sword light to rotate faster, and the strangling force became greater.
The light energy of the evil spirit was obviously stronger than the Fire Lotus Sword, but after being trapped, its power became weaker and weaker.
"What a powerful Fire Lotus Sword! It actually has such a trick." Li Xiu couldn't help but admire it secretly. He knew that the evil spirit had no chance of winning and it was only a matter of time before it was strangled.
Li Xiu was not interested in watching any further. He walked to the door of the workshop and picked up the two-handed sword.
The sword is extremely heavy, probably weighing a thousand pounds. Although it is unsharpened, it has a chilling aura. Most people cannot even lift it, let alone use it.
With Li Xiu's current physical condition, it is not difficult for him to pick up the sword embryo, but if he really wants to use it to fight, it will seem a bit clumsy.
Li Xiu held the hilt of the sword with one hand and the blade of the sword with the other, trying to see if he could break it. Unexpectedly, the sword was very hard. Li Xiu burst out all the light energy in his body, but he still couldn't bend the sword blank, let alone break it.
"It seems that the sword blanks forged in these workshops are made of different materials, and some are good and some are bad. But where do these sword-making materials come from? Is someone delivering materials to the workshop? Or are there raw materials already in the workshop..." Li Xiu stuck the sword blank into the ground. This thing was too heavy, and it was tiring to hold it all the time.
It’s a pity that the door of the workshop cannot be opened, otherwise we would know the answer by going in.
If there were raw materials in the workshop originally, that would be unlikely. If that were the case, these workshops have been operating for who knows how many years and the raw materials should have been used up long ago.
There are still sword blanks coming out of the workshop, which means that raw materials are delivered in an endless supply. If no one delivers them, where do those materials come from?
Li Xiu couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only go into the workshop to take a look to figure it out.
If you can't enter this workshop, you can go back to the workshop you came from. The principle should be the same.
While Li Xiu was thinking, the battle of the Fire Lotus Sword was coming to an end. The Fire Lotus Sword, which was clearly at a disadvantage, crushed the evil spirit into pieces without leaving any residue. Even the evil core was crushed by it, and all the light energy was absorbed into it.
The Fire Lotus Sword's light veins suddenly increased to eight, greatly increasing its strength.
"One light base can condense so many light veins. If there are a few more, the light veins of the Fire Lotus Sword should be almost full. I just don't know what the potential of the Fire Lotus Sword is and how many light veins it can condense." Li Xiu wondered secretly whether he could use his light planting method to increase the upper limit of Qi and the demon spirit's light veins.
Qi and the demon spirits are different from humans, and Li Xiu hasn't figured out how to start yet, so he just happens to do an experiment with the Fire Lotus Sword. After the Fire Lotus Sword reaches the upper limit of its light veins, he will use the light planting method to see if he can expand the number of its light veins.
The Fire Lotus Sword returned to Li Xiu's waist and did not attack the sword embryo. It seemed that it was not hostile to the sword itself, but to those spiritual swords.
"Take the sword embryo back and show it to the old official. Such good material may be used in magic armor." Li Xiu felt that carrying the sword embryo was too tiring, so he summoned the Masked Emperor, put the big sword on it, and let it carry the sword embryo.
The man and the sword continued to move forward, looking for more workshops. Along the way, the Fire Lotus Sword killed gods and Buddhas who stood in his way, and was so arrogant that no one could be bothered to look at him.
Later on, I didn’t encounter any particularly powerful monsters, and the strongest monster was just a super monster.
Li Xiu also wanted to get some more sword blanks, but he didn't know when the workshop would produce the sword blanks, and he couldn't just wait there all the time. It was rare for him to happen to see sword blanks coming out of the workshop.
After much difficulty, he came across one, but the sword blank was so poor that it broke with just a slight bend by Li Xiu. There was no use in taking it back.
It was not until Li Xiu felt really sleepy that he retracted the Fire Lotus Sword and returned to the workshop he had come from.
Li Xiu studied the production line in the workshop and found that the source of the raw materials was a large pillar with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a height of 30 meters. The materials were continuously transported out from it.
Except for the opening for transporting raw materials, the entire cylinder is sealed, and no one knows where the raw materials inside come from.
Li Xiu guessed that if no one came to deliver it, the cylinder was probably a drilling equipment that dug the material directly from underground.
Because he couldn't see inside, Li Xiu didn't know whether his guess was correct.
No one knows what is so special about this workshop, nor does anyone know why the trial-takers are here after entering. The task of guarding the Sword Soul Gate is actually to guard this workshop and prevent those evil spirits from rushing in.
Generally speaking, no demon spirits would rush into the workshop. Ordinary demon spirits only want the sword embryo and do not want to rush out of the trial gate.
Before going to bed, Li Xiu took stock of his gains.
Eleven talent gems, seven skill rings and one magic ring.
The talent gem and skill ring look the same, so they should be the same talent and skill. Li Xiu did not use them directly.
"I wonder if the gifted gems can be synthesized?" Li Xiu summoned a synthesis capsule, wanting to try and see if he could synthesize the gifted gems.
As a result, after feeding the talent gem to the synthetic capsule, the synthetic capsule spit out the talent gem again.
Li Xiu thought that the gifted gems could not be synthesized, but he heard a childish voice coming from the synthesis capsule: "The gem level exceeds E level, and the fusion cannot be completed."
"The level of the synthesis capsule is E, which means that gems with a level higher than that of the synthesis capsule cannot be synthesized." Unfortunately, Li Xiu does not have an E-level talent gem in his hand, so he can only try later to see what effect synthesizing two talent gems will have.
Of course, Li Xiu would not specifically look for E-level talent gems. What he wanted to do was to directly upgrade the level of the synthetic capsule.
The synthetic capsule is hatched from artificial diamonds, so it should only need to eat artificial diamonds. That stuff is very cheap. Li Xiu can let the synthetic capsule eat a lot without any worries and there will be no problem in eating enough.
Li Xiuben had no interest in swordsmanship, and he looked down upon these ordinary skills. He planned to get them and sell them for money.
As for the magic ring, he would also sell it for money. He couldn't even cultivate so many high-quality magic spirits, so how could he have the time to make these things.
Li Xiu has been guarding the Land of Sword Soul and can only go out once a month. He is not in a hurry and has been carrying the Fire Lotus Sword to kill evil spirits and increase the number of its light veins.
The old immortal described the Land of Sword Soul as being so dangerous. Li Xiu originally thought that this place was full of super spirits and light bases could occasionally be seen.
Who would have thought that after wandering here for a month, apart from the light-based demon spirit he had encountered before, he had not encountered any more light-based demon spirits, and he had only encountered eight or nine super spirits. This was the result of Li Xiu carrying the Fire Lotus Sword and looking for demon spirits everywhere.
Of course, Li Xiu was just overthinking this. If there really were so many light bases and super spirits, the con man would have been killed long ago.
When Lao Qian was guarding here, he just had to guard it. He would not look for trouble like Li Xiu and provoke the light-based evil spirits.
Fortunately, there are indeed many demons in the Sword Soul Land. After sweeping the door of the workshop today, a new group of demons gathered within two days, so there is no need to run too far to find demons.
With so many demonic spirits gathering around, the number of light veins of the Fire Lotus Sword reached twelve. After having twelve light veins, the Fire Lotus Sword had been silent.
"Being able to condense twelve light veins should be considered top-level for an ordinary contract, but it's still too few for me." Li Xiu planned to use the Fire Lotus Sword as an experiment to see if the light planting method could help it break through the upper limit on the number of light veins.
Li Xiu held the hilt of the Fire Lotus Sword, and a transparent ultimate light gradually emerged on the handle, and then the ultimate light was merged into the Fire Lotus Sword bit by bit.
Li Xiu knew the light veins in a person very well, but he had no idea how the light veins on a sword were distributed.
After the Ultimate Light penetrated into the sword body, Li Xiu felt that he encountered a very strong resistance. The body of the Fire Lotus Sword also began to tremble, and the sound of the sword sounded like a painful groan.
"It seems that the distribution of Qi's light veins is different from that of humans. The light vein diagram of the evil spirit card corresponds to humans, which is not applicable to Qi." Li Xiu was a little confused: "The evil spirit card itself is Qi, why does the light vein diagram on it correspond to the light veins of humans?"
Li Xiu couldn't figure out the reason for a moment. When he was hesitating whether to continue, streaks of light appeared on the blade of the Fire Lotus Sword.
One, two, three... until it reached twelve, and then it ended. Li Xiu suddenly understood that this was the Fire Lotus Sword showing him the light veins.
Li Xiu estimated that the Fire Lotus Sword was also unable to bear the Ultimate Light, so he took the initiative to show the location of his light veins.
Li Xiu looked at the light veins on the sword and found that these light veins were all on one side of the sword, and no light veins appeared on the other side.
"Will Qi's light veins be the same as those of humans, with positive and negative correspondence?" Li Xiu's mind moved, and he first used the Ultimate Light to circulate along the twelve light veins that had been condensed by the Fire Lotus Sword. It could be said that it was basically unobstructed, and the body of the Fire Lotus Sword did not shake as violently as before.
"Although the distribution of positions is different, but apart from the different positions, there is not much difference from human light veins. Maybe there really is a light vein on another side. The key is to find the point connecting the positive and negative light veins. As long as that point is penetrated, the light veins on the other side can be condensed." Li Xiu didn't know where that point was, so he could only try along the twelve light veins that had been condensed. If Qi also had that point, it must be on the light vein.
Li Xiu didn't have any better solution, so he could only try one point at a time where the light veins were distributed.
Every time Li Xiu used the Ultimate Light to attack, the body of the Fire Lotus Sword would shake violently for a while, which must have been quite uncomfortable.
Li Xiu even had some doubts. If he really angered the Fire Lotus Sword, it might turn around and stab him.
Fortunately, that did not happen. No matter how violently the Fire Lotus Sword shook, it did not stab Li Xiu.
Li Xiu tried for a long time, and tried many places on the twelve light veins, but he still couldn't find that point. This made him doubt whether there was no such point on the Qi, and there was no light vein on the other side.
When Li Xiu was about to give up, he suddenly felt that the place where the ultimate light impacted seemed to have loosened a little.
Li Xiu was overjoyed and quickly transmitted more ultimate light, which continued to flow towards that point.
Sure enough, that point became looser and looser, and under the burning of the Ultimate Light, something was gradually burned through, and traces of the Ultimate Light penetrated through.
Li Xiu could clearly see that on the other side of the sword, there was a light pattern as thin as a hair. Although it was only a faint one, it was enough to make him happy.
"Sure enough, there is a light vein on the other side." Li Xiu continued to use the ultimate light to burn that point and pierce through the point connecting the two sides.
This is somewhat different from the light planting method. The light planting method is to refine that point into a light seed, and continuously water the light seed with light energy, allowing the light seed to grow, sprout, and spread branches. The branches grown by the light seed are the light veins.
What Li Xiu is doing now is to pierce that point and then let the Fire Lotus Sword condense the light vein by itself. The method is completely different.
It is difficult to say which method is better. It depends on one's own practice. No matter which path you take, there will be differences in strengths and weaknesses. It still depends on your own level of practice.
Finally, Li Xiu used the ultimate light to completely burn and melt that point, and the light veins on both sides were connected.
The Fire Lotus Sword had accumulated a lot of light energy before, because its potential was only twelve light veins. When the potential was used up, the light veins could not condense more, so the light energy absorbed later was accumulated.
Now that point has been pierced, the accumulated light veins flow into the other side, and soon a light vein condenses on the other side. The remaining energy is not enough to condense a second light vein.
The remaining light veins still require the Fire Lotus Sword to absorb more light energy. If the inference is correct, the other side should be able to condense twelve light veins. Adding them together, the Fire Lotus Sword can reach the level of twenty-four light veins.
Li Xiu is not in the mood to take the Fire Lotus Sword to kill the evil spirits now. A month has passed and he can go out and rest for two days. Li Xiu will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to relax.
The main thing is that he has obtained a lot of talent gems, skill rings and magic rings in this month, and he plans to give them to Sha Chu and let her sell them in exchange for resources.
Also, we need to get some artificial diamonds from the synthetic capsule for it to eat, so as to raise its level first.
When Li Zheng was about to blow out the longevity lamp and go out, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside the workshop.
The sound was like thunder, and the rumbling sound was a bit scary.
"What's going on? Is there thunder and rain in this damn place?" Li Xiu walked to the door of the workshop and looked outside.
The sky was indeed covered with dark clouds, and the clouds were as low and frightening as the mountains in ink paintings. Lightning flashed in the clouds from time to time, like green electric snakes that appeared and disappeared.
What followed was a rumbling thunder that hurt the eardrums.
After a while, raindrops as big as bean grains fell down, and it seemed as if layers of pearl curtains were hanging between the sky and the earth. Amidst the lightning and thunder, the dense and vast rain seemed to open and roll up.
A lot of water soon accumulated on the ground, and bubbles appeared one after another under the hammering of raindrops.
Li Zhengzheng was staring intently, but suddenly he saw a ball of light moving in the distance.
Under the mountain-like dark clouds, a mysterious purple light was moving in the distance. Raindrops fell on the mysterious purple light and immediately fell to both sides. From a distance, it looked like someone was holding a purple umbrella and lifting the rain curtain.
"A demonic spirit?" Li Xiu stared at the purple light, but unfortunately the distance was too far and he couldn't see it clearly. However, judging from the direction the purple light came from, it should be coming towards him.
As the person guarding the Sword Soul Gate, Li Xiu naturally could not just ignore the situation. He could only temporarily give up the plan of leaving the Sword Soul Land and stare at the purple light in the distance.
The purple light was indeed coming towards this side. Not long after, Li Xiu was able to see more clearly that the purple light was indeed an umbrella.
An umbrella emitting purple light was walking in the rain. Under the umbrella was a woman in purple clothes. The purple light on her body emitted a hazy glow, like clouds, fog and smoke, as if it would sway with the wind and rain.
The umbrella obscured her face, so I couldn't see what she looked like. I could only see her purple dress swaying, and a pair of slender legs as white as jade appearing and disappearing from time to time. Her sexy feet stepped on the rain, but not a single raindrop stained them.
On the bare insteps, raindrops slid down like dew on lotus leaves, making people marvel at the smoothness and tenderness.
After a while, the woman with the umbrella had walked to the front of the workshop. Li Xiu stood inside the door, looking at her through the small window for transporting sword blanks, but did not dare to open the door to go out.
According to Li Xiu's experience, humanoid demons are generally not easy to deal with, and this woman's appearance was so strange that Li Xiu didn't want to take any risks.
It suddenly rained heavily here, and a humanoid demon came in the rain at this time. Li Xiu didn't believe that this was just a coincidence.
The evil spirit stopped less than five meters away from the workshop gate. The umbrella in her hand did not move, and remained hanging down so that no one could see her face.
"Human, do you want to die or live?" The demon's voice was extremely charming. Although she was saying cruel words, they made people feel like the coquettish whispers of a lover.
