Chapter 147 Fenghua Sword
"Originally it was still a little short of the mark, but with the addition of the Phoenix Pearl, there will be no problem with the immortal weapon. I'm just not sure what grade it will be. The flame level here is still a little low, but my cultivation is limited, so I can't go deeper." Gu Jiayan raised his eyes and looked deeper into the cave, his tone full of regret.
The place where he is now is considered a junction. If he goes down a little bit further, he will be able to see higher quality flames, which will be more helpful for the tempering of Fenghua. But his cultivation is limited, and going this far is already his limit. If he goes any further, he won't be able to hold on for that long.
In fact, with the protection of the Five Spirit Beads, Gu Jiayan can continue to move forward and there will be no problems in the short term. But his purpose of coming here was not sightseeing, but to use fire to refine weapons.
The time required for refining equipment is already quite long, and Gu Jiayan is upgrading the spiritual sword embryo this time and adding the Phoenix Clan's most precious treasure, the Phoenix Pearl, so the time required is even longer. It has been nearly two months since he entered the Flaming Mountain.
Having to stay in the cave for such a long time without being able to leave, even with the protection of the innate five elements spirit beads, Gu Jiayan's body would not be able to bear it.
Therefore, he could only choose to refine the equipment below his endurance limit, so as to ensure the smooth progress of refining.
Fortunately, the quality of the flames in the Flame Mountain is very high, so even if we have to settle for second best, we can still meet Gu Jiayan's expectations. By the way, when the pressure is not so great, he can also use his spiritual consciousness to meet Chu Yi and others on the holographic network. Occasionally, when he is in the mood, he can also deduce the process of refining equipment in the virtual world to make the process go more smoothly.
Unlike ordinary people who cannot cultivate, the monks' holographic login devices are specially made.
Their spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. Even at the lowest level of enlightenment, their spiritual consciousness or mental power is stronger than that of ordinary people. Moreover, the first lesson for a cultivator, in addition to learning how to practice martial arts, is to learn how to use his or her spiritual consciousness. Multitasking is a piece of cake for them.
Therefore, when monks are doing things that are not very important but rather boring, they often separate a wisp of their spiritual consciousness into the virtual world to rest on the holographic network or do other things.
Mortals who can only practice martial arts can only log into the holographic network through a virtual warehouse or a virtual helmet. In any case, they must ensure that the connector is connected to the brain. However, monks and people with psychic abilities are different. They can separate their psychic powers, directly connect to the login device, and enter the virtual network.
Because the login device itself is very small, scientists simply combine it with an identity bracelet, allowing monks and people with special abilities to log into the virtual network anytime and anywhere.
Just now, several people from the elite class had a gathering on the holographic network, and they all used this method.
After hearing what Gu Jiayan said, Chu Yi also looked deep into the cave. With the eyesight of a monk, she could easily see the flames hundreds of meters away. Comparing them with the swaying golden flames around her, the quality there was indeed higher.
However, she has always been casual about this. As long as the difference between the two does not cause a qualitative change, she thinks it doesn't matter which one is used.
"What does it matter? The difference between the two is not that big anyway. Fenghua was just a spiritual treasure before, and it doesn't need such a high-level flame for the time being." She retracted her gaze and turned her attention back to her own natal sword.
Although a treasure like the Phoenix Pearl requires a higher level of flame to forge, since the main material used in the Phoenix Sword is the Delonix Regia, the two are naturally attracted to each other. As long as the level of the flame is not too low, the Phoenix Sword can slowly absorb it.
There is really no need to worry about the quality and level of the tempering flame.
Chu Yi understood that Gu Jiayan wanted the best for her, but she also didn't want her brother to take unnecessary risks.
Hearing the worry behind Chu Yi's words, Gu Jiayan smiled at her gently, "It's really not necessary. Even in the outer layer, the flames containing the power of saints are much more advanced than ordinary flames. If it weren't for the accident, I wouldn't have been able to find such a high-level flame."
In his original plan, the fire used for upgrading this node should be the Samadhi True Fire.
That was another kind of sacred object that their Gu family's ancestor collected in the patriarch's ring.
Different from the Samadhi True Fire that can be cultivated by ordinary cultivators, the flame that was carefully collected by the Gu family, once the number one family in the cultivation world, is of extraordinary quality and grade. This is the Samadhi True Fire born from nature, and its power is enough to harm immortals.
Because of its huge effectiveness, the Gu family did not even give it to any particular member of the clan. Instead, they put it into the family master's mustard seed, slowly merging it with the space, and making it a part of this top-grade immortal weapon.
Samadhi True Fire is very suitable for refining medicine and equipment. By utilizing its characteristics, the finished products can often be one level higher than expected. It can be said to be the favorite of countless alchemists and equipment refiners.
This flame was also the best flame that Gu Jiayan had been able to come up with before. The Samadhi True Fire was used to refine the sword embryo.
If it weren't for the appearance of this Flame Mountain that swallowed up a trace of the saint's power, he should be refining it in his own personal space now.
The two chatted while waiting for Fenghua's final calcination.
When they just met on the holographic network, Gu Jiayan said that he would soon be out of seclusion. Calculating the time, the Fenghua Sword would be completed within a few hours. The meeting was approaching and everything that needed to be prepared had already been done. Chu Yi had nothing else to do, so he came to Flame Mountain to wait for him.
As time goes by, the sword spirit within the Fenghua Sword becomes stronger and stronger. It can even break through the flames burning around it and chirp to convey information to the master in front of it.
Feeling the joy coming from his own natal flying sword, Chu Yi couldn't help but reveal a happy look on his face.
Fenghua is a gift from her brother Gu Jiayan. In her heart, it is more valuable than any other magical treasure. Even if she owns countless magic weapons, it is her only natal flying sword. Originally, Nuwa wanted to give her the four Zhuxian swords. This set of legendary Zhuxian sword formation combined with the Green Lotus of Creation was enough to make Chu Yi invincible.
But she rejected it without hesitation and only accepted the Green Lotus of Creation.
In Chu Yi's mind, Fenghua's potential is no worse than other innate spiritual treasures. As one man and one sword grow slowly, Fenghua's future achievements will definitely not be lower than that of an acquired spiritual treasure.
And Fenghua did not disappoint her.
It is made of legendary top-grade materials, and countless natural treasures from ancient times were added to it when it was just a sword embryo. The flame that refines the impurities is also the powerful Samadhi True Fire. With such a solid foundation, the Fenghua Sword was born with a vague intelligence from the moment it was born.
Later, Chu Yi took it into his dantian to nourish it, and it was constantly cleansed and nourished by the chaotic energy. The energy of chaos is a more advanced existence than spiritual power, immortal energy and other energies. It is a waste of talent to use it to nourish a flying sword that has not yet taken shape.
Later, Chu Yi obtained the Green Lotus of Creation. The purifying power of the innate spiritual treasure Green Lotus of Creation and the nourishment of chaotic energy were acting at the same time, and Feng Hua's evolution speed became extremely fast. When she gave it to Gu Jiayan for a second recast, Fenghua's sword spirit was already able to transform.
However, since Chu Yi didn't like the objects around him transforming into human form, Feng Hua stayed in the sword all the time, relying on the contract to communicate with its master.
As Fenghua's forger and the master's brother, Fenghua has a very good impression of Gu Jiayan. While waiting for the weapon to be completed, the two of them started chatting in the extremely dangerous Flaming Mountain.
Time flies by quickly when you have someone to accompany you.
In the blink of an eye, the golden-red flames around Feng Hua were completely absorbed into the sword body, and the originally simple and low-key appearance became extremely gorgeous. With the phoenix feather sword tassel decorated by Chu Yi for Feng Hua, the whole sword is as luxurious and gorgeous as a phoenix.
"Wow~" she exclaimed, "Does the upgrade also include a change of appearance?"
Although she knew that Fenghua was still a semi-finished product and far from perfect, after all, it became so gorgeous after just the first upgrade. Wasn't that a bit too much?
It’s so dazzling now, what will it be like after the next few upgrades?
Chu Yi is not someone who cares much about appearance. She doesn’t care whether it is gorgeous or simple, but it can’t be too gorgeous. Judging from Fenghua's current condition, once she takes it out, she will probably be stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and then be hit on the back with a club.
Of course she would definitely not fall into trouble, but the less trouble the better. Why bother going through these unnecessary things?
But she wouldn't dislike Fenghua's appearance. Even if she encountered trouble, with her strength, it could be solved with just a flick of her finger, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
"This, originally, didn't have this effect. I didn't design it specifically."
The two have been siblings for so many years, the brother naturally understands his sister's preferences, so when designing the appearance, Gu Jiayan simply designed it to be more low-key. However, all plans are subject to unexpected events, and this time is no exception.
"The reason lies in that phoenix bead. Didn't I say before that I would upgrade your flying sword? When Master found out, he gave me a phoenix bead and asked me to integrate it into the flying sword." Gu Jiayan, who had stopped because the sword was completed, began to make hand gestures again. While doing the finishing work, he explained, "The Phoenix clan loves gorgeousness. Whether it is appearance or other aspects, they all pursue the ultimate luxury."
"The poinciana tree itself grows by bathing in the blood of the phoenix, and it will unconsciously take on the phoenix's preferences. I designed it to be so simple before, after all, it is just a dead object and will not change its form by itself. But the phoenix bead is different. It is the most precious treasure in the phoenix's body. It is not only extremely powerful, but also has a trace of the phoenix's spirit."
"So after being absorbed, Feng Hua was influenced by the Phoenix spirit and became vain?"
Looking at his sword with some confusion, Chu Yi couldn't help but reveal an expression of toothache.
Goodbye, she doesn't want to face a sword spirit with a changed temperament. How nice it would be to be a gentle and soft girl. She doesn't want an arrogant and domineering sister.
The Phoenix clan is aloof and arrogant. No matter which branch of the Phoenix they are from, they all look down on others. This is why the phoenix had a worse reputation than the dragon in ancient times.
"I will not rest except on the phoenix tree, I will not eat except on bamboo fruit, I will not drink except on nectar."
From its living habits, we can see how difficult the phoenix is to deal with.
It’s not that he has a prejudice against Fenghuang, it’s just that Chu Yi is not good at getting along with people with this kind of personality. When she meets such a tsundere, queen-like person, she sometimes doesn't know how to start a conversation.
Feng Hua sensed her master's hidden disdain and fearing that she would be ignored, she hurried to explain. A series of words were transmitted through the connection between their consciousness, making Chu Yi feel as if five hundred ducks had come to his ears.
"Stop, stop, stop. Okay, Fenghua, I get it." Chu Yi rubbed his ears helplessly and amusedly. He simply couldn't do anything about it. "I don't dislike you. You are my flying sword, how can I dislike you? I like you no matter what you become. It's good to change your style."
After being stroked for a while, Feng Huajian soon became happy again.
It circled around Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan lively twice, making a lot of noise, and then flew out of the cave under the gaze of the two.
With the blessing of the Phoenix Pearl and the Holy Fire, it has now gotten rid of its identity as a spiritual weapon and successfully advanced to a mid-grade immortal weapon. Just like there will be thunder tribulations when a cultivator advances, there will also be thunder tribulations when a magic weapon advances.
Only if it successfully survives the current thunder tribulation can the Fenghua Sword be considered a true mid-grade immortal weapon. If it fails, it will be relegated to the level of a spiritual weapon and will remain there forever.
In fact, the master can help the magic weapon to overcome the tribulation. With the master's power, the tribulation of refining the weapon is not difficult. But Fenghua has her own pride. Her master is the founder of the galactic civilization and the supreme being who stands above the laws. As her natal flying sword, it absolutely cannot
Seeing Fenghua leave, Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan looked at each other and followed him out of the cave. They have to go out to protect the law and prevent any accidents from happening.
Things like killing people for treasure and taking advantage of opportunities can be seen everywhere in the world of cultivation.
Ever since the monks moved to the new planet, this planet named the Cultivation World has become more and more like the real Cultivation World.
Countless monks practice and live on this planet.
Some people have become accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, so they often stay in various urban areas and lead a life that is not much different from before. Some are determined to become a true seeker of truth, and find a mountain top to build a cave and live a life of asceticism. There are also people with evil intentions who simply cannot listen to the teacher's instructions. After thinking that they have learned enough, they start to do petty thefts.
To such people, the resources of an entire planet are nothing compared to the owned things in the hands of their compatriots. After all, you need to fight hard for the resources outside, and to seize your compatriots, you just need to be stronger than the victims.
Faced with such a situation, the country has also made efforts to formulate some laws in the world of cultivation to make the cultivators more restrained. But after the official "separation", the country's status in the hearts of the monks plummeted.
Even though on the surface they still respect the government and their homeland, privately, the monks no longer abide by secular laws. The country does not have enough power to force everyone to comply and can only issue weak statements again and again.
With good intentions but no power to do anything, the situation in the world of cultivation has become: within the urban area is a modern civilized society, while in the hundreds of thousands of mountains outside the urban area, it is the naked law of the jungle, and the strong is king.
Chu Yi didn't care. Cultivators couldn't be required by mortals' rules. They practiced hard, and wasn't it largely because they wanted to live a free and easy life?
So she did not interfere with the development of the cultivation world, and just let everyone grow wildly.
