Chapter 51: Controlling Objects (2/2)
“I wonder, though, what about the little tower on my person? Once I am almost done with my sword controlling practice, I will check up on the little tower.” Chen Feng made up his mind.
Truth be told, the moment Chen Feng reached the Concealed stage, he had felt an eager desire to check the little tower. However, Chen Feng decided to suppress that desire in the end. Good items must be explored when one was in the best state. The little tower had been accompanying him all this time, it must possess quite the origin. It may be that the little tower had something to do with his own life. As Chen Feng was not quite ready, his heart was not quite calm enough then, he decided to add some life-saving techniques to his repertoire before doing that.

“Just where did the kid go to? It has been three days and we have yet to see him. There is no sign of him at all,” said a high elder from the Liu Family with an anxious tone.
“Black Origin Mountain Range has a radius of hundreds of thousands of li with rolling mountains and a flourishing forest. Some of the old trees can grow to a height of hundreds of metres high, some even to thousands of metres. After going into the forest, the kid can simply find a spot to hide and it will be like trying to find a needle within a sea for us. It is an extremely difficult task,” Mo Yuan, the City Lord of Black Origin City said slowly.
“City Lord, you don’t seem to be anxious,” said Patriarch Liu with an enigmatic tone.
“What is the point of being anxious? We still need to slowly search for him, don’t we? Or, could we succeed in finding him just because we are anxious?” answered Mo Yuan calmly.
“Do not worry. I believe Chen Feng could not have gone too far. The depths of Black Origin Mountain Range are filled with yao beasts. Even for us, death is a certainty if we venture into those places. I guess this Chen Feng must be nearby,” said the Sun Patriarch with a smile. He, too, did not appear anxious.
“I wonder, what suggestions does the Iron Sword Sect Master have?” the Tiger Form Sect Master suddenly said.
“I have no suggestions. Just search slowly,” replied Tie Jianfeng with a cold scoff.
…
Sou!
A one-chi length sword flashed forward and a cracking sound came from a tree that would require two people to encircle. Next, the tree slowly fell to the ground. After that, the flying sword circled around constantly. Light flashed out intensely as the branches and leaves on the tree was cut into pieces. Soon, only a tree trunk remained of the tree that had once been at least 20-zhang tall (1 chi = 0.333 m; 1 zhang = 3.333 m).
Shua!
The flying sword quickly turned back to fall into Chen Feng’s palm. There, it continued hovering, sharp light undulating on the surface of the sword.
“Phew! After practicing for seven days, I can finally skilfully control this flying sword. Additionally, the distance that my flying sword can reach has been increased to one li. However, I fear it will take longer for me to fly on a sword.” Chen Feng thought to himself.
“What a pity! The original grade of this flying sword should be quite high. However, it is likely not even grade 1 right now,” said Chen Feng as he regarded the exquisite little flying sword in his hand.
The flying sword was something that Chen Feng had collected from the bottom of the pool. Although it remained sharp, with a faint stream of light flowing through it, its surface was filled with cracks. In all honesty, it was just a broken flying sword. Unless it was refined using valuable materials, the spiritual energy within it would disperse with time, turning it into no more than a piece of scrap metal.
There were some undamaged weapons within the spatial pouches that Chen Feng obtained, some appearing to be quite strong. However, given Chen Feng’s current level of strength, he was still incapable of refining any of them for his use. For the time being, he could only use this damaged flying sword. He would need to wait until he had unlocked the potential of his Heavenly Origin acupoint, then use it to guide his divine sense out from his sea of wisdom, strengthening his divine sense. Then, he would naturally be capable of refining those high-grade magic treasures.
After the chat he had with Bai Ziyan, Chen Feng had gotten to know about the grading for magic treasures. The weapons used by cultivators in the Training Body and Energy stage were all common weapons. No matter how good the materials used for the weapons were, no matter how sharp they were, without the nourishment of divine sense, spiritual attributes and unique forms, all would fall into the category of common weapons.
Above common weapons were Magic artefacts. They were generally used by cultivators in the Concealed stage. Normally, these artefacts would be nourished by the Concealed stage cultivators’ divine sense and blood energy. Either that or be made into their lifebound magic treasures. While the materials of the weapons be improved, there was something more important. The body of the sword would contain a great deal of spiritual attributes and energy.
For example, if forging a normal sword required 10 jin of high-quality steel, then the forging of a flying sword would require at least 1,000 jin, 10,000 jin, perhaps even 100,000 jin of high-quality steel. Only by extracting the iron extract from all those jin of steel can a flying sword successfully be forged (1 jin = 0.5 kg).
Common weapons were graded from one to nine.
Likewise, Magic artefacts were also graded from one to nine.
Prized artefacts, which were above Magic artefacts, were also graded from one to nine.
The Overwhelming Astral Sword in Chen Feng’s possession was a grade 1 Prized artefact. Back then, Bai Ziyan had checked it for him. Originally, the Overwhelming Astral Sword itself was not quite at the grade 1 Prized artefact level. However, after being imbued with the will of an expert and melding with the expert’s blood essence, the sword’s sword energy became extraordinarily formidable and could reign unchallenged despite the lack of magic powers from its user.
If it were not for the fact that Bai Ziyan already had a better weapon on her person, she may be tempted by the weapon as well.
That was also why Chen Feng could not utilize divine sense to control the Overwhelming Astral Sword. In order to refine the Overwhelming Astral Sword, not only must his divine sense be strong, even the blood energy within his body needed to be at a highly vigorous level.
[TL: I made a mistake. The unit of measurement for jin has been standardized to 0.5 kg. I’ll be rectifying the earlier chaps soon. Sorry for any confusions.]
