Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

In her palm, ice-blue spiritual energy quickly gathered and condensed into sharp ice cones.

These ice cones shot towards the robbery cultivator and the black dog monster like a rainstorm. For a moment, screams were heard one after another.

The cultivators and monsters that were hit by the ice cones were instantly covered with frost and could not move.

Upon seeing this, Xiong Ba roared angrily, and the sound seemed to collapse the entire hall.

He held a huge battle axe tightly in both hands. The axe was engraved with strange runes and exuded a gloomy aura.

He pounced towards Jiang Qiong, swinging his battle axe with great force, creating a whistling sound, as if he wanted to chop everything in front of him into pieces.

Jiang Qiong flashed like a ghost and easily avoided Xiong Ba's attack.

At the same time, he used the immortal sect's thunder magic.

There was a flash of lightning in his hand, and a thick bolt of lightning instantly struck from his hand, like an angry thunder dragon, hitting Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba screamed as his body was struck by lightning, emitting bursts of black smoke. His hair was instantly burnt and his clothes were torn into pieces by the lightning.

But he relied on his tenacious vitality and gritted his teeth and did not fall down.

Mei Niang was using her charm to confuse Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana. Her eyes were shining with strange lights and she was muttering something.

An invisible force rushed towards Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana, as if to devour their minds.

Nan Fengxue snorted coldly, and the ice-type spiritual power instantly formed a crystal clear shield in front of him, blocking the charm technique out.

The shield flashed with cold light and was indestructible. Lang Nana controlled the spiritual plant, and she waved her hands lightly in the air, muttering something.

In an instant, several thick vines covered with sharp thorns emerged from the ground and wrapped around Mei Niang.

Mei Niang dodged quickly, her figure was like a red lightning, moving freely among the vines.

At the same time, she released a black evil energy, which was like a ball of black flame, rushing towards the vines, trying to repel them.

In the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong and others gradually gained the upper hand.

Relying on the superb techniques they cultivated in the Immortal Sect, as well as the tacit cooperation they had developed over the years, they defeated the robbery cultivators one after another.

Several more robbery cultivators were hit by Jiang Qiong's sword energy and Nan Fengxue's ice cones, and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

Their bodies were covered with wounds and their blood stained the ground red.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiong Ba began to think of retreating.

He secretly winked at Mei Niang, and the two of them pretended to attack but actually slowly retreated towards the door.

Jiang Qiong was sharp-eyed and immediately realized their intention. He shouted, "Want to run? That's not that easy!"

The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and he used the Xianzong's top sword technique "Lingxiao Sword Shadow".

Countless sword shadows appeared in an instant, flashing with cold light, like a group of silver butterflies, enveloping Xiong Ba and Mei Niang.

Xiong Ba waved his battle axe to try to resist, but the sword was so sharp that his battle axe was soon cut into several pieces.

In the end, Xiong Ba and Mei Niang were hit by the sword shadows, fell to the ground, and lost the ability to resist.

Their bodies were covered with wounds, and blood was gushing out, staining the surrounding ground red.

When the other robbery cultivators saw their leader being subdued, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, their faces as pale as paper, and they begged for mercy.

Jiang Qiong and others then stopped their attack and looked at the messy scene in front of them, their hearts filled with anger.

The display shelves in the store were smashed to pieces, the magic weapons were scattered all over the floor, and the ground was covered with blood and the corpses of monsters.

They tied up the Tribulation Cultivators and prepared to hand them over to the Immortal Sect for disposal, to make them pay for their actions.

At the same time, they also carefully inspected and reinforced the defensive formation of the Foundry Pavilion, adding more restrictions and traps to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

After this incident, Jiang Qiong and others understood more clearly that in this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, they must not only constantly improve their own strength, but also remain vigilant at all times.

After the thrilling battle with Jie Xiu, the Lingxiao Foundry Pavilion was in a mess, as if it had been ravaged by a violent storm.

On the ground, mottled bloodstains and the shattered remains of the monsters were intertwined, emitting a disgusting smell;
The display stands that originally displayed the magic weapons neatly were now tilted all over the place, and many of them had been chopped to pieces by battle axes; precious magic weapons were scattered all over the ground, and they were more or less stained with traces of battle.

Although Jiang Qiong and others successfully repelled the robbers and protected the Foundry Pavilion in this battle, they were exhausted both physically and mentally, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue.

However, they were fully aware of the importance of the Foundry Pavilion to the Immortal Sect and numerous practitioners, and they could not afford to slack off in the slightest.

After a short rest, Jiang Qiong pulled himself together, looked at the servants with a determined gaze, and said calmly, "Everyone, listen up, let's start cleaning up immediately. First, clean up the bloodstains and monster remains on the ground, and make sure there is no trace left."

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also acted quickly and personally participated in the cleanup work.

Nan Fengxue casts an ice spell to freeze the blood, making it easier to clean up;

Lang Nana used her ability to control spiritual plants to let some small spiritual plants help carry the lighter debris.

Under their leadership, the servants had clear division of labor and worked in an orderly manner.

After cleaning the floor, they started repairing the display racks.

Relying on the weapon-refining knowledge he learned in the Immortal Sect, Jiang Qiong guided the weapon-casters to select suitable materials and rebuild the frame of the display stand.

Nan Fengxue used her ice power to firmly fix the joints, making them stronger.
Nana carefully checked the repaired display stand to make sure that every part was stable and reliable. Afterwards, everyone picked up the scattered magic tools one by one. Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue carefully wiped the magic tools with their magic power to remove the stains and impurities on them.

Lang Nana used the purifying power of spiritual plants to inject a bit of vitality into the magic weapon and restore its luster.

Within a few days, with everyone's concerted efforts, the Foundry Pavilion was finally restored to its former appearance.

The hall became clean and bright again, and the magic weapons on the display shelves once again emitted an alluring glow.

When the cultivators heard about the heroic deeds of the Foundry Pavilion in repelling the robber cultivators, they trusted it more and more and came to patronize it one after another.

For a time, the Foundry was bustling with people coming and going, and business gradually returned to normal.

Within two days, the sun shone through the clouds and shone on every corner of the Foundry Pavilion.

Just as Jiang Qiong was sitting in the foundry area with several experienced casters, enthusiastically discussing the new casting technology, an attendant came running over in a hurry.

He stood in front of Jiang Qiong, panting, and said respectfully, "Mr. Jiang, there is a man who claims to be the steward of the Liu family who wants to see you. He is waiting in the hall now."

Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, secretly wondering, although the Liu family was quite famous in the county town, they had no previous connection with the Foundry Pavilion. So why did they send someone here this time?
However, he immediately put down what he was doing, tidied his clothes, and went to the hall with Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana.

As I walked into the hall, I saw a middle-aged man standing in the center calmly.

He is tall and slender, with a straight posture, like a pine tree that has been rooted for thousands of years, exuding a calm aura.

He has a thin face, regular features and deep, bright eyes, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, revealing shrewdness and competence.

He was wearing a moon-white robe with an exquisite willow branch pattern embroidered on it with gold thread. The branches swayed gently in the wind, like lively life, showing his elegance.

He had a dark green jade belt tied around his waist, and on it hung an exquisitely carved jade pendant. The jade pendant was engraved with the Liu family's unique clan emblem, which glowed faintly in the sunlight, highlighting his extraordinary status.

Seeing Jiang Qiong and others coming in, the middle-aged man bowed slightly, performed a standard greeting, with a warm smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice:
"I am Liu Yi, the manager of the Liu family. I have heard of the Lingxiao Foundry Pavilion for a long time. I hope you will forgive me for coming to visit you today."

Jiang Qiong quickly returned the greeting and said politely, "Manager Liu, you are too polite. I wonder what you are doing here this time?"

Liu Yi smiled slightly and took out a beautifully carved wooden box from his wide sleeves. The surface of the wooden box was engraved with ancient patterns and exuded a faint wood fragrance.

He gently opened the wooden box, and instantly, a warm glow emanated from the box, illuminating a corner of the hall.

In the box is a piece of bamboo jade. The jade presents an elegant emerald green color, with faint shadows of bamboo swaying in it, making it look as lively as if it had life.

Liu Yi stretched out his hand, gently lifted up the jadeite, pointed at it and said, "My Liu family has recently obtained a batch of precious bamboo spirit jadeite by chance."

"I've heard that your pavilion has superb craftsmanship in casting tools and is well-known throughout the world of immortal cultivation. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help forge a batch of bamboo spirit jadeite swords. Our Liu family will prepare all the materials. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana looked at each other and thought quickly in their hearts.

Jiang Qiong spoke first, and said in a steady tone: "Manager Liu, forging a spirit sword is not an easy task, especially when bamboo spirit jade is used as the main material, the requirements for craftsmanship are extremely high. I wonder what specific requirements the Liu family has for the spirit sword?"

Seeing this, Liu Yi nodded slightly and quickly explained in detail: "The sword body needs to be mainly made of bamboo spirit jadeite, and integrated with tough cold iron. This way, the spirituality of bamboo spirit jadeite can be preserved, and the toughness of the sword body can be enhanced."

"The hilt of the sword will be inlaid with high-quality spiritual stones to enhance the spiritual power transmission of the sword, allowing the user to more smoothly exert the power of the sword. The sword body will also be engraved with the unique runes of the Liu family to highlight the characteristics of the Liu family. In terms of quantity, we hope to cast thirty swords."

Nan Fengxue frowned slightly, looking worried, and said:
"Although this Bamboo Spirit Jade is extremely precious, it is also extremely delicate. If you are not careful during the casting process, it will crack or even be directly damaged. The failure rate is quite high."

Liu Yi seemed to have expected this. He nodded and said sincerely, "We in the Liu family are also aware of this, so we will never treat you unfairly in terms of price. We are willing to pay 3,000 spirit stones for each spirit sword. If you can deliver it on time and of high quality, we will give you a generous reward."

Lang Nana lowered her head slightly and discussed with Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue in a low voice:
"This price is quite generous, and if we can establish long-term cooperation with the Liu family, it will be of great benefit to the future development of our Casting Pavilion. In the future, we may be able to use the resources and connections of the Liu family to expand more business."

Jiang Qiong thought for a moment, his eyes revealed determination, and said:

"Although it is difficult, some of the unique casting techniques we learned while training in the Immortal Sect may come in handy. In addition, we have accumulated experience in the Casting Pavilion during this period of time, so we are not completely hopeless."

Nan Fengxue also nodded in agreement: "We can try to improve the existing casting process, adjust the temperature, the timing of injecting spiritual power, etc., to reduce the failure rate as much as possible."

After the three of them discussed it, Jiang Qiong raised his head and said to Liu Yi with a firm gaze, "Manager Liu, we agree to this.

But the casting cycle may be longer, taking three months. I wonder if the Liu family can accept it? After all, the casting process of this Bamboo Spirit Jade Spirit Sword is complicated and cannot tolerate any carelessness. "

When Liu Yi heard this, he showed joy on his face, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he quickly said:

"Three months is fine. It may take a long time, but we believe in your strength. I'll trouble you all. I'll deliver the materials in three days."

After seeing Liu Yi off, Jiang Qiong and the others did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately summoned all the weaponsmiths in the weapon foundry to gather in a spacious secret room in the foundry area.

The walls of the secret room were engraved with various runes to isolate external interference and stabilize the fluctuation of spiritual power. Jiang Qiong stood in front of everyone and said seriously: "This time the Liu family entrusted us to forge the Bamboo Spirit Jade Spirit Sword. It is both a challenge and an opportunity. Let's brainstorm and discuss the specific casting plan together."

An elderly casting master spoke first: "I think when fusing bamboo spirit jadeite and cold iron, we can use the method of 'melting ice and fire'. First melt the cold iron with high temperature, then wrap the bamboo spirit jadeite with ice spiritual power, and slowly immerse it in molten iron. This may reduce the damage to the jadeite."

After hearing this, Nan Fengxue nodded slightly and added: "During this process, I can control the ice spiritual power throughout the whole process to ensure the temperature of the Bamboo Spirit Jade is stable."

Another young weaponsmith continued, "For the inlay of the spirit stone in the hilt, we can engrave spirit power guiding runes inside the hilt to better integrate the spirit power of the spirit stone with the sword body."

Lang Nana's eyes lit up and she said, "I can provide some spiritual plant juice and apply it on the rune to enhance the rune's stability and spiritual power conduction effect."

After several hours of heated discussion, everyone contributed their ideas and finally came up with a detailed casting plan.

In the following days, the foundry became busy again. The foundry masters stayed at their foundry posts day and night, carefully preparing various tools and materials.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana always pay attention to every casting link and solve any problems that arise in a timely manner.

They knew that this casting was not only related to the reputation of the Foundry Pavilion, but also a rare opportunity. If it was successful, it would surely cause a sensation in the world of immortal cultivation and bring more business and opportunities to the Foundry Pavilion. (End of this chapter)
