Chapter 211: Becoming a Sword Furnace (1/2)

The style of the Weapon Refinement Room of Benevolent Travel Temple was slightly different from the Scripture Storage Valley.

The surface and interior of the tall furnace were densely engraved with incomprehensible Buddhist scriptures. It looked to have a dense Buddhist aura and was extremely mysterious.

According to Le Yuan, the inscriptions of these Buddhist scriptures could have an even stronger effect than ordinary runes.

For example, the scriptures on the outside of the pill furnace could keep the temperature hot and the scriptures inside could stabilize the temperature.

Although it was not as useful as the earth fire of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, it was already extremely helpful in refining artifacts.

Jiang Li was not in a hurry to act. He first stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wall of the room. A layer of thick and moist moss appeared from his hand and quickly spread out, and it covered the entire room.

One had to be wary of others. He had to be careful in others' territory.

After confirming that the moss had completely covered the entire refinement room with no gaps,

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and took out the Anti-Spirit Black Sword, the Ghost Head Saber, and the Dragon Hunting Arrow that he had just obtained. He placed the three of them together.

These three items were the main materials for this weapon refinement.

Then, he raised his hand and slapped the Brahma Refinement Furnace. An incomparably blazing spiritual flame surged out of the furnace.

After Jiang Li reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he consumed a Nine Nether Earth Fruit and pushed his Liquor Fire Sword Song cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment realm too.

The awkward thing was that he was already a sword cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm. In fact, the level of his Sword Heart far surpassed that of ordinary Shu Mountain disciples.

Yet, he, Jiang Li, did not have a flying sword that belonged to him.

Now, Jiang Li was prepared to personally forge a special flying sword for himself.

The characteristics of the Anti-Spirit Black Sword was that it penetrated spiritual qi but not armor.

The characteristics of the Dragon Hunting Arrow was that it penetrated armor but not spiritual qi.

Think about it, if these two could combine together, they could make up for each other's shortcomings!

If the flying sword was forged in this way, not to mention its grade, even if it was a pure mortal weapon without spiritual qi, with the terrifying effect of both Armor and Spirit Penetration, being stabbed by it would be a huge problem.

He could even sneak attack an enemy to death.

Since he planned to use it as a killer weapon, he might as well be more thorough.

If combined with the City God's Ghost Head Saber, it would also gain the effects of concealment and soul vanquishing.

Just thinking about a weapon with all three traits made Jiang Li feel afraid for his future enemy.

As he continuously poured in spiritual qi for a moment, the Liquor Fire spiritual flames in the furnace continuously rose. This Brahma Refinement Furnace had another advantage. It firmly locked the energy inside, causing the temperature in the furnace to rise rapidly.

Jiang Li raised his hand and beckoned, and the City God's Ghost Head Saber flew over first.

A Profound-rank artifact with extraordinary might was directly thrown into the furnace flames with the intention of directly melting and reforging it.

After obtaining the fire attribute spiritual root, with Jiang Li's talent in runes and his affinity with the Weapon Refinement Hall, he basically already had the ability to refine artifacts by himself.

As for the refinement method of the flying sword that he had secretly learned from Shu Mountain, it was also very special. It was so special that this secret method did not value craftsmanship.

As long as one could pay the price and throw in the spiritual materials, the flying sword forged would definitely not be too bad.

Even as a newbie, there was no exception.

Under the enhancement of Jiang Li's Nine Nether spiritual qi, the already powerful Liquor Flame directly reached the level of a Core Formation cultivator. It was extremely scorching and could easily melt metal and break locks.

One of his hands was pressed tightly against the furnace, and his other hand was not idle. He crushed up a bit of Fusing Crystal Powder and formed hand seals. Spiritual light mixed with crystal powder shot out one after another, accelerating the refinement of the Ghost Head Saber.

15 minutes… 30 minutes… 45 minutes passed…

After four hours, the pitch-black blade of the Ghost Head Saber gradually turned red and soft.

Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief. The work of a Weapon Refinement Master was indeed much harder than that of an Alchemist.

No matter what, this Ghost Head Saber was a Profound-rank artifact. Its material was hard and its resistance was excellent. Just this first step of smelting was something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could not even melt into metal without taking turns.

Jiang Li stretched out his hand and pointed once more, and the Anti-Spirit Black Sword and Dragon Hunting Arrow that were placed on the ground flew over together.

Without any hesitation, he threw them into the furnace and stuck them to the Ghost Head Saber that was gradually melting.

Activating the runes inside the furnace, the temperature of the flames rose again, and the three metals were continuously melted.

Another four hours passed.

The Ghost Head Saber turned fiery red and completely softened. The other two metals had also changed color.

The hardest to deal with was still the Dragon Hunting Arrow. Fortunately, its characteristics were only sharpness and armor penetration, it was not as indestructible as the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

Under the effect of the high temperature spiritual flame, the three metals finally fused together into a ball of metal liquid.

Jiang Li immediately urged his spiritual qi to continuously knead and fold the liquid. As the three completely different metals mixed together, their physical characteristics also began to change.

The melting point of the alloy was becoming higher and higher. Once this thing solidified again, it was very likely that Jiang Li would no longer be able to melt it.

He could only accelerate the stirring speed and make the alloy combine evenly before it solidified again.

It was not long before the liquid metal formed another piece of alloy ingot.

This original ingot looked ordinary and was not much different from a red-hot piece of iron. However, if one's eyes were good enough, they would be able to see beautiful cloud patterns folded from three types of metal in the red light.

Under the influence of spiritual qi, the original ingot was also emitting strange fluctuations, as if it was already not inferior to most Yellow-rank artifacts in this state.

After all, the materials that Jiang Li invested in were not simple. Such an ingot was already an excellent forging material.

However, Jiang Li still had a main ingredient to add.

He formed a strange hand seal and pressed it on his heart.

A strong sense of fear came. Slowly, something invisible to the naked eye was forcefully pulled out by him.

The thing in Jiang Li's hand was invisible and had no smell or form, as if it was empty space.

However, this invisible thing could allow a hundred-year-old man to return to his youth and let the person judged by the King of Hell live a carefree life for a hundred years.

This was the price Jiang Li had prepared to pay for this weapon refinement, an entire hundred years of his lifespan!

When Jiang Li went to the Scripture Imparting Hall earlier, he had received the scriptures of the three halls in a row: 'Dharma', 'Body', and 'Technique'.

The 'Technique' he had obtained was a simple and practical ancient demon spell technique, Demon Awakening Technique.

The manual he had obtained in the Dharma Hall was a supplementary cultivation method called the ”Life Stealing Art”.

This cultivation method was not difficult to master and its execution was simple. There was basically no issue with using it.

However, the problem was that the price of using the Life Stealing Art was actually two years of lifespan.

The Scripture Imparting Hall's standard was really weird. It was obvious that it saw that he had a long lifespan and felt that this cultivation method was very compatible with him.

To impart him such a lifespan reduction cultivation method, did it think that he had excessive lifespan and needed such a method to bring down the number?

Who would learn such a cultivation method for no reason?

Jiang Li pinched the ball of lifespan in his hand, and his expression was a little pained.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could only live for 200 years. If they were all like him and lost a hundred years of their lifespan for one refinement, they would lose more than half their lives.

Even if his life was indeed quite long, he had never used this cultivation method before. Only now did he barely take it out to give it a try.

Jiang Li's lifespan before he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm was (297 × 500%), which was 1485 years.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, his lifespan increased by a hundred years. Later on, he ate a fire attribute Earth Fruit and added another 30 years.

Coupled with the enhancement of the Dragon Tortoise Blood Tattoo, it would be a total of 2135 years.

After using up a hundred years, his heart ached a little. If the effect was not satisfactory, he would give up on this spell technique forever.
