Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 951 The Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword is Forged

As they spoke, the two arrived outside the treasure vault.

This time, Yang Zhengshan didn't go in, mainly because Situ Yuan hadn't invited him in, and he didn't want to be so shameless as to follow him in.

Yang Zhengshan was actually very curious about what they would talk about, perhaps it would involve some secrets about Hidden Sword Mountain.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jian Changhe finally emerged from the treasure vault.

"Did you get it?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Jian Changhe nodded calmly.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel a little envious. Look at Hidden Sword Mountain, they can easily take out a Core Formation spiritual item and exchange it for another Core Formation spiritual item.

And what about him?
They also had to work hard to improve their alchemy skills and prepare for exchanging spiritual items.

However, Jian Changhe must have paid a considerable price to obtain the Dew of Oblivion.

Perhaps Situ Yuan has some old ties with Hidden Sword Mountain, but a Core Formation Spiritual Object is certainly not something that can be given away for free. Neither Situ Yuan nor Wanbaohang should be wealthy enough to give away a Core Formation Spiritual Object to someone else.

As for how many Core Formation spiritual items Hidden Sword Mountain has, Yang Zhengshan estimates that there won't be too many.

Before Tianjian Zhenjun ascended to immortality, he must have trained successors. The remaining Core Formation spiritual items should be very limited, otherwise Jian Changhe would not have personally come to exchange for Wangchuan Dew.

When does the Mountain Lord plan to form his Core?

"You care about this?"

"Of course, I also want to observe the Mountain Lord's tribulation from the sidelines, so as to gain some experience for my own future tribulations!" Yang Zhengshan made no attempt to hide his ambition for the Golden Core Path.

Upon hearing this, Jian Changhe laughed heartily, "Just wait and see. If I'm undergoing my tribulation, I'll definitely have someone notify you in advance."

……

Jian Changhe did not stay in Baiyun Immortal City for long. After receiving the Wangchuan Dew, he left Baiyun Immortal City that same day.

However, when he left, he gave Yang Zhengshan a third-tier demon core, which was considered Yang Zhengshan's reward for helping to make the connection.

Although he could see Situ Yuan at Wanbaohang, with Yang Zhengshan acting as a go-between, he could avoid attracting the attention of some people.

Moreover, Yang Zhengshan also confirmed that Wanbaoxing possessed the Dew of Oblivion. As the mountain lord, he naturally couldn't let Yang Zhengshan work for nothing, so he used a third-tier demon core as payment for Yang Zhengshan's help.

After Jian Changhe left, Yang Zhengshan returned to his courtyard and went into seclusion.

Of course, his seclusion only involved staying in the Spirit Source Land, where he would cultivate and refine pills as needed.

Perhaps because of Zhao Tianhai, Yang Zhengshan became more wary of Wanbaohang's internal affairs.

The main problem was that Zhao Tianhai and his entourage were really too strange. The more Yang Zhengshan thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Moreover, over the past six months, he has gained a much deeper understanding of Zhao Tianhai.

how to say?

He thought Zhao Tianhai was a brainless idiot.

Arrogant and domineering, he always acts like he's the most powerful person, no matter who he's facing.

However, Zhao Tianhai was indeed quite capable. His alchemy skills were even better than Yang Zhengshan's. Whether it was refining the Demon Essence Pill or other second-tier pills, his success rate and the quality of the pills were no worse than Yang Zhengshan's.

It should be noted that Yang Zhengshan achieved such a high success rate and quality of pills only with the assistance of the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace, while Zhao Tianhai did not possess a spiritual alchemy furnace comparable to the Golden Crow Eight Trigrams Furnace.

It can be said that Zhao Tianhai's alchemy skills are far superior to Yang Zhengshan's.

Such a promising alchemist would naturally be valued by Wanbaohang. Therefore, although Zhao Tianhai was arrogant and domineering, no one did anything to him because Wanbaohang valued him.

But the more this was the case, the stranger Yang Zhengshan found it.

How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator be a brainless idiot?

And this wasn't just one, but a group.

How did this bunch of idiots even get together?

Yang Zhengshan was completely baffled, so he felt that there were some unknown secrets behind this matter.

To avoid trouble, he simply hid in the Spirit Source Land and would never show his face at Wanbaohang unless absolutely necessary.

Of course, he did not appear at the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

Jian Changhe needs to prepare for Core Formation, and Hidden Sword Mountain is bound to be very sensitive at this time. As someone in the know, Yang Zhengshan should stay away from the commotion to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

In fact, he was quite envious of the Core Formation spiritual objects in Jian Changhe's possession. Although he didn't know how many Core Formation spiritual objects Jian Changhe had, it didn't stop him from imagining and speculating.

Unfortunately, Hidden Sword Mountain is no ordinary force. Even if he had the ambition, he didn't have the strength to snatch the Core Formation opportunity from Jian Changhe.

As time passed, Yang Zhengshan stayed in the Spirit Source Land, cultivating and improving his alchemy skills, while the Spirit Source Land also ushered in a leapfrog development.

After becoming one of the three major sects of Lingxiu, Lingyuan Land first obtained some of the foundation of Wuxiang Sect, and then obtained a large amount of resources and spirit stones from the battlefield. Although Lingyuan Land also paid a considerable price for this, it was insignificant compared to the benefits gained.

The Wuxiang Sect has mineral veins, spiritual fruit orchards, and spiritual herb gardens, which largely make up for the lack of profound resources in the spiritual source land.

The establishment of Wuzhen Dao Palace also gave Lingyuan Land a new name in the outside world.

On the surface, Wuzhen Dao Palace replaced the Yang family and became one of the three sects of Lingxiu, but in reality, it was Lingyuan Land that controlled Wuzhen Dao Palace outside.

Although the Wuzhen Dao Palace is headed by Xuanzhen, Xuanzhen is also an elder of the Immortal Hall in the Spirit Source Land, and the newly built Wuzhen Dao Palace was established with the support of the Spirit Source Land.

Just like the Shenmu Sect on Shenmu Island, the Wuzhen Dao Palace in the Lingxiu Sea has also become a new guise for the Lingyuan Land.

The Lingyuan Land no longer uses the Yang family's name to operate in the Lingxiu Sea, but instead uses the name of the Wuzhen Dao Palace.

As time goes by, the Yang family will gradually be forgotten, and Wuzhen Dao Palace will become one of the new Lingxiu Three Sects.

In the blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

Inside the Dan Hall.

Yang Zhengshan, Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, Ning Yun, and Cui Yang gathered in the Dan Hall.

The Golden Crow controlled the golden solar fire, scorching the sword embryo in the center. Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun continuously infused the sword embryo with runes and restrictions. Yang Jizhen carefully condensed two magma transformed from minerals, one from Thunderclap Stone and the other from Purple Cloud Stone.

Yang Zhengshan then slowly sent his own soul and aura into the sword embryo.

As for Cui Yang's role, he was assisting Yang Jizhen.

Refining a natal magic weapon is far more complicated than refining an ordinary magic weapon. To ensure everything goes perfectly and to guarantee the quality of the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword, Yang Zhengshan specially brought Ning Yun and Cui Yang along to help this time.

Although Cui Yang is not a weapon refiner, he has been studying talisman arrays and refining jade talismans for the past few years, and has gained a lot of insights into weapon refining.

He wasn't exactly a weapon refiner or an array master, but he was more than capable of assisting Yang Jizhen.

The five members of the group, master and disciples, were completely focused on forging the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

As the restrictive array on the sword embryo took shape, Yang Jizhen first sculpted the hilt with Purple Cloud Stone, and then sculpted the blade with Thunderclap Stone. The flames subsided, and a pale flash of lightning appeared.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun waved their hands, quickly imprinting runes and restrictions onto the nascent Azure Lightning Sword.

“Ancestor, Thunder Pearl!” Yang Jizhen suddenly said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhengshan immediately understood and spat out a Qinghua Thunder Pearl.

The Azure Thunder Pearl is the core of the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

With the Azure Thunder Pearl, the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword can enhance the power of the Wood Divine Thunder.

However, this Azure Thunder Pearl is just a seed. How powerful the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword will be depends on how Yang Zhengshan nurtures it in the future.

As the Azure Lightning Pearl merged into the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword, the originally pale lightning suddenly turned bluish-white.

Lightning flashed, and electric arcs crackled and popped.

"Thunderstorm!" Yang Jizhen shouted again.

Having prepared in advance, Cui Yang unleashed over a dozen Xuan Lei Talismans, which struck the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword.

At the same time, Yang Zhengshan spat out another thunder pearl.

This thunder bead is several sizes larger than the previous one.

The previous lightning pearl had only been nurtured for a year. After being integrated into the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword, it was merely a seed and did not need to contain too much Yi Wood Divine Lightning.

Now, the Azure Lightning Sword needs to be tempered by lightning. At this time, we are not afraid of the lightning being too strong, but we are afraid that the lightning is not powerful enough.

Therefore, all five members of the group exerted all their strength to unleash their thunder magic.

Yang Jizhen directly drained all the magic power in his body, unleashing a dazzling bolt of Azure Lightning.

Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun also activated the Divine Firmament Thunder Prison Formation that had been prepared behind them at the same time.

This Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Formation was Luo Cheng's gift of gratitude. It consisted of two sets of weapon formations, which Yang Zhengshan gave to Ma Qiuyan and Ning Yun, one set for each of them.

Boom!

The next moment, bolts of lightning appeared in the hall, surging intensely and emitting dazzling electric light.

The surging lightning lasted for about fifteen minutes. Yang Jizhen was the first to give in and his body suddenly lurched backward, crashing into the wall with a thud.

Then, a strong shockwave spread, pushing Cui Yang, Ma Qiuyan, and Ning Yun out again.

A cyan barrier appeared in front of Yang Zhengshan, blocking the impact of the lightning fluctuations. However, his divine lightning magic power was almost exhausted, so he had to restrain his magic power.

Without the support of magic, the longsword with its bluish-white blade and purple hilt crashed to the ground with a clang.

"Hu~~"

Yang Zhengshan let out a heavy sigh and asked, "Are you all alright?"

"It's alright!" Yang Jizhen got up, quickly stepped forward, picked up the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword, and examined it with excitement.

The other three also stood up. Although they were in a bit of a mess just now, they were not actually hurt. It was just that they were all focused on using lightning magic and had no time to block the oncoming shockwave. Otherwise, the shockwave would not have had any effect on them at all.

"Ancestor, it's a top-grade magic weapon! Haha, a top-grade magic weapon!"

Yang Jizhen laughed heartily in surprise.

This is the second high-grade magic weapon he has crafted. The first one was the Divine Wood Cauldron. However, the Divine Wood Cauldron became a high-grade magic weapon because it incorporated the Water of Transformation, which was an accident.

The Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword in his hand was the first high-grade magic weapon that he had truly created under his own guidance.

Yang Zhengshan took the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword and carefully sensed its power.

During the forging process, he had already refined the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword. Next, he only needed to nurture it for a while, and this magic sword would become his natal magic weapon.

This sword has a slender blade with a texture somewhere between glass and bamboo. The green base is covered with winding purple lightning patterns, and the spine is slightly convex and engraved with fine lightning patterns. The color is darker than the blade itself, showing the unique lightning texture of Golden Thunder Bamboo. The two sides of the blade have a warm green glow, and lightning can be seen in the thinnest parts, as if the imprisoned lightning is struggling to break out of the wooden blade.

The hilt is made of purple cloud stone and inlaid with lightning runes that look like silver threads. Nine silkworm threads are wrapped around the grip and tightened in a spiral shape. The pommel is a rhomboid blue-green crystal, which upon closer inspection is actually solidified lightning paste with fine electric arc patterns on its surface. This crystal is the seed of the Azure Thunder Pearl.

Yang Zhengshan gripped the hilt of his sword and swung it a few times, instantly causing lightning to flash and arcs of electricity to leap.

The Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword originated from the Azure Flower Thunder Technique, so it was originally designed as a magic sword for the Wood Divine Thunder. Its greatest function is to enhance the power of the Wood Divine Thunder, making it easier for the swordsman to better unleash thunder magic.

Once Yang Zhengshan has nurtured the sword for a period of time, allowing the Azure Thunder Pearl on the sword to be filled with magical power, his use of thunder magic will be twice as effective.

Moreover, he can continue to nurture the Azure Thunder Pearl. In the future, he will no longer need to spit out the Azure Thunder Pearl from his mouth; he can directly release the Azure Thunder Pearl with his magic sword.

"Not bad, not bad! Haha~~"

Yang Zhengshan felt an indescribable joy as he experienced the perfect harmony between the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword and himself.

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining another rare treasure!" Ma Qiuyan and the other two congratulated him.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work, I'm just envious!" Cui Yang chuckled.

A natal magic weapon is a magic weapon that every Foundation Establishment cultivator desires.

Unlike ordinary magical artifacts, natal magical artifacts are naturally highly compatible with the user, as if they were an extension of the user.

Not only can a cultivator's natal magic weapon enhance their strength, but it can also greatly benefit their cultivation.

Now that Cui Yang and the others are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, they naturally want to refine their own natal magic treasures.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "Once your cultivation reaches the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, you can also prepare to refine your natal magic weapon!"

"I won't be biased. I'll sponsor each of you with a third-tier spiritual material. Well, Ji Zhen's Golden Thunder Bamboo doesn't count; he cultivated that himself."

While refining ordinary magic weapons generally does not require third-tier spiritual materials, and refining one's natal magic weapon also does not require third-tier spiritual materials, most Foundation Establishment cultivators will use third-tier spiritual materials in pursuit of higher quality and greater growth potential.

Tier 3 spiritual materials aren't as common as cabbage. As their master, Yang Zhengshan couldn't possibly prepare all of them; at most, he could only provide one piece per person.

Yang Jizhen got a slight advantage; the immature golden bamboo will be his in the future, and Yang Zhengshan will prepare another one for him then.

Whether they need other third-tier spiritual materials is their own business.

They are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and each has their own abilities, so they don't need to rely on Yang Zhengshan for everything.

"Thank you Master!"

"Thank you, ancestor!"

The four thanked them with delight.
