When Lu Yu returned to the small courtyard, he happened to see Little Tail who had just stood up.

“Are you alright?” Lu Yu asked.

“Yes.”

He threw the sack containing the iron essence and sand grains into the living room and said to her, “If you’re fine, then get to work! Pick out all the iron essence.”

He looked like a black-hearted boss who was exploiting his employee. He didn’t want Little Tail to become dependent on him. Sooner or later, he would have to leave this place. When that time came, he wouldn’t be able to bring her along.

After all, Little Tail was just an ordinary kid.

“Okay.” Little Tail took out the small magnetic bracelet from the room and began to work.

Originally, Little Tail had hung the small magnetic bracelet around her neck. However, at Lu Yu’s request, she took it off.

It was hard to say whether a magnetic field was good or bad to one’s body. However, if she carried something with a strong magnetic field around her, it would easily affect her own magnetic field, resulting in dizziness and vomiting. That was why Lu Yu told her not to wear the magnetic bracelet around her neck.

When Little Tail used the magnetic bracelet to pick out the iron essence from the sack, she was a little absent-minded. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Lu Yu, who was cultivating.

When she was eroded by demonic aura, she felt very cold. She recalled the winter she had spent with the old beggar when she was young. The old beggar died in that winter but leaving her the hope of survival.

When she had been eroded by the demonic aura, she felt that she had returned to that harsh winter. However, the old beggar was no longer by her side. The snowstorm was getting stronger and stronger, and the world was getting darker and darker.

When she thought that she was going to die. She felt a very warm embrace. It was a feeling that she had never felt before, just like the feeling of a mother. Although she had never seen her mother before, in the description of the old beggar, a mother’s embrace was the warmest place in the world.

After breaking through to the fourth level of the body refining realm, Lu Yu felt that cultivating the Fierce Tiger Fist Style would increase his qi-blood very slowly. Cultivating for an entire day could only increase his qi-blood by 1 point.

Currently, Lu Yu’s qi-blood had reached 88 points at the fourth level of the body refining realm.

For ordinary martial art cultivators, when their qi-blood reached this level, most of them had already reached the fifth level or even close to the sixth level of the body refining realm.

The Fierce Tiger Fist Style could only be cultivated to the seventh level of the body refining realm. In other words, Lu Yu’s qi-blood was already close to the limit that the Fierce Tiger Fist Style could reach.

After the vast majority of people cultivated the Fierce Tiger Fist Style to the sixth level of the body refining realm, the improvement of their qi-blood would become very slow. Just like Wang Qiang, he had cultivated for many years and still hadn’t broken through to the sixth level of the body refining realm.

The cultivation technique restricted the improvement of their qi-blood. The best way was to find a cultivation technique that was even more advanced than the Fierce Tiger Fist Style.

However, it would take a long time to cultivate another cultivation technique from the beginning to reach the current realm.

If one’s comprehension was not enough, it might be a waste of effort.

Generally, the martial art cultivators would keep grinding to slowly increase the qi-blood, or they would cultivate an advanced cultivation technique to increase their qi-blood faster.

Lu Yu had change from a fist technique to a saber technique, but this method was not recommended to most people.

Han Yaozong was only willing to give Lu Yu to a saber technique because Lu Yu had just started cultivation. Moreover, Lu Yu was talented and had a high comprehension ability.

Not long after Lu Yu practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist Style, he took out the Hundred Forged Greatsword and cultivated the Edgeless Blade Art. The effect of the Fierce Tiger Fist Style was far inferior to the Edgeless Blade Art.

The Edgeless Blade Art was a third-grade spirit class cultivation technique, and its effect was far superior to the Fierce Tiger Fist Style. After consuming the qi-blood pill to speed up the cultivation, Lu Yu would be able to increase his qi-blood by 3 to 4 points every day. He believed that it wouldn’t be long before he would be able to level up again.

Raising his qi-blood to 88 points made it much easier for him to cultivate the Edgeless Blade Technique. The time he could cultivate every day was also extended, but there was still quite a distance before he could fully display the “Heaven’s Fall”.

He was able to instantly kill a martial art cultivator at the sixth level of the body refining realm without fully displaying the power of the Heaven’s Fall. Hence, Lu Yu was looking forward to the true strength of the Heaven’s Fall.

Little Tail picked out all the iron essence and dragged a sack towards Lu Yu with great difficulty.

Noticing Little Tail’s movements, Lu Yu stopped the AFK mode.

He walked over and picked up the sack containing the iron essence and weighed it. It weighed at least 15-16 jin, or even more.

Lu Yu had just broken through, so he had not completely grasped his own strength yet. It felt lighter than before when he took the same weight item. Therefore, Lu Yu did not know how heavy this sack of iron essence was.

However, the last iron essence harvest would definitely be a huge profit. It was possible that he could even earn back the money he had spent on the heaven recovery pill and the aura dispelling pill.

However, Lu Yu did not plan to exchange all of it for money. He still wanted to keep some to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword.

If there were no accidents, the Hundred Forged Greatsword would be enough for him to use for a long time. For this reason, he fully consulted Boss Tang and knew the difference between a hundred refined weapon and a spirit weapon. Only then did he decide to strengthen the Hundred Forged Greatsword.

The difference between a low-grade spirit weapon and an ordinary weapon was that a low-grade spirit weapon was able to transmit spiritual energy more perfectly and produce some sort of effect.

After the spiritual energy was injected into a spirit weapon, it would become sharper, harder, or it could buffer attacks and even cause fire damage. The effect was determined by the materials used to forge the equipment.

In short, a spirit weapon was a weapon with an additional attack effect.
