Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 272 Sword Refining
"Fellow Daoist Chen..."

Fairy Xian Yue was quite easy-going. She smiled slightly and nodded when she heard this.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyuan laughed and began to introduce some things about Chen Mu to Fairy Xian Yue. Only after she had some understanding of Chen Mu did she nod at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu continued, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Xian Yue, I'd like to ask you to help me refine a spiritual sword. Do you have the time?"

Fairy Xian Yue's expression remained unchanged, without any sign of surprise. It seemed that she had long been accustomed to it.

"I wonder what grade of spirit sword you want to refine?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he quickly whispered, "Is there any difference?"

"A low-level spiritual sword doesn't take much time to make. If you're interested in this, you can complete it in seven days..."

"A mid-level spirit sword is quite difficult to make, and even I am not sure of success... If this is what you are interested in, you will have to wait for several months..." Fairy Xianyue introduced slowly.

Chen Mu frowned slightly when he heard this, his eyes flickered as he began to think secretly.

If the second-grade ultimate profound ice was only used to refine a low-level spiritual sword, it would be a waste of its resources...

After pondering for a moment, he made up his mind and said immediately, "If the fairy is alright, I would like to ask for a mid-level spirit sword!"

"Oh?" Fairy Xianyue was quite surprised this time. She said, "Fellow Daoist Chen has just completed his foundation building. In fact, a low-level spirit sword is enough for him to use... But since you have already made your choice, I can't say much."

"Just what kind of main materials did you prepare? I can also prepare some auxiliary spiritual materials in advance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu clapped his hand and handed the second-grade top-grade black ice to Fairy Xian Yue.

"Xuanyin Ten Thousand Year Ice?"

Fairy Xian Yue took it and looked at it repeatedly, then smiled and nodded, saying: "Second-grade top-grade...it is enough to refine a mid-level spirit sword."

Seeing her so easy to talk to, Chen Mu felt relieved. He raised his eyes and looked straight at her and said tentatively: "I wonder what kind of reward you want? I have made a lot of preparations..."

As long as she agrees, Chen Mu will not hesitate to give her anything he has, including the reward.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Xianyue slowly put away the black ice. Her phoenix eyes fixed on Chen Mu's, and she chuckled softly, saying, "I see you have quite a bit of black ice. If there's any left this time, no matter how much, it will all be mine."

"Also, if I need you in the future, please don't refuse... Other than that, I won't take a penny!"

Hearing about the future, Chen Mu did not dare to be careless. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, if you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you!"

In fact, he also knew that Fairy Xian Yue's two conditions were almost normal. If it were any other weapon refining master, the conditions he proposed would not be fewer than hers.

This is also the reason why Chen Mu chose a mid-level spiritual weapon. If he chose a low-level spiritual sword, Fairy Xian Yue would ask for some spiritual stones and nothing else.

But the mid-level spirit sword... involves human relationships.

"In that case, please wait for a while. In seven days, I will ignite the fire forging, and I will need you to be present at that time..."

Fairy Xian Yue pursed her red lips slightly and turned back to the beautiful attic.

Seeing that Chen Mu had achieved what he wanted, Xiao Jingyuan was quite happy and immediately led Chen Mu out.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, since you have some free time, why don't you come over to my place and have a drink? I'd also like to learn about your Changhong Sword Controlling Technique..."

Seeing him so enthusiastic and joking, Chen Mu also smiled heartily and followed him.

After the banquet, Xiao Jingyuan and Chen Mu really discussed various experiences in sword-wielding.

It was called a discussion, but it was almost entirely Xiao Jingyuan's words. After all, when it came to the art of wielding a sword, Chen Mu was far inferior to him who had practiced hard for decades.

After the conversation, Chen Mu gained a lot, and felt that he had a deeper understanding of sword control. He had never expected that this trip to the Sword Pavilion would bring him such unexpected gains...

In the blink of an eye, seven days later.

Chen Mu followed Fairy Xian Yue to the foot of the mountain where Wenjianfeng was located, and then walked into a rather magnificent cave.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is our sect's Earth Fire Grotto. We will be holding out here for the next few months."

Chen Mu nodded without saying anything and walked forward.

After entering the cave, the space suddenly became much smaller and the magnificent scene just now was no longer there.

The four walls are all made of pitch-black rocks, but the surface is covered with a layer of ice jade with a snow-white luster, which greatly reduces the heat of the cave.

In the middle of the cave, there is a black stone pillar shaped like a wine glass, but it is much larger than the wine glass and is nearly five feet high.

"This is completely different from alchemy..."

Chen Mu could already be called an alchemist, so he subconsciously compared it with the alchemy furnace.

Not long after, Fairy Xian Yue was ready. She immediately shot out several spiritual materials and flew into the stone pillar. Then her magic power surged, and a dazzling red pillar of earth fire roared out!

Under the sudden attack of high temperature, she did not panic at all. She pinched the fingers with her slender jade fingers repeatedly, and the pillar of earth fire slowly descended, remaining in the stone pillar, and began to refine the several spiritual materials.

After more than half a month, Fairy Xian Yue had refined all the necessary auxiliary materials and put them aside for the time being.

Then she took out the second-grade top-grade black ice, looked at Chen Mu, and threw it into the stone pillar surrounded by earth fire.

……

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the underground fire cave, the feeling of burning heat hits you in the face, and from time to time there are rolling heat waves sweeping through the place, which is really unbearable.

Even the two people in the foundation-building stage couldn't help but feel dry mouth and sweat.

Among them, Fairy Xian Yue was in the worst condition. Perhaps it was because although she had reached a certain level, her magic power was not strong enough. Therefore, under the high temperature for several months, her whole body was almost soaked, and her exquisite and proud curves were faintly visible.

If they hadn't lost their consciousness, they probably wouldn't even be able to remember how much time had passed.

"boom!"

The pillar of earth fire suddenly rose and directly broke through the magical restraints of Fairy Xianyue.

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu quickly activated his magic power and swung a water-blue streak towards the pillar of fire, helping her suppress it.

This was a habit the two of them had developed over the past few days. Once Fairy Xian Yue ran out of magic power, Chen Mu would quickly make up for it, trying his best to prevent the spiritual materials from being destroyed by the fierce fire.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight fluctuation in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the stone pillar.

At this time, inside the room, various spiritual materials had transformed into a ball of spiritual liquid under the exquisite control of Fairy Xian Yue, and were then driven by her to melt into a three-foot-long water-colored sword embryo refined from second-grade top-grade black ice.

The water ripples on it were entangled with each other, and an extremely powerful spiritual fluctuation had emerged.

"From the looks of it, it won't be long before it's accomplished..."

Chen Mu was delighted, and strangely enough, he didn't even look at the graceful figure beside him, but instead looked at the sword embryo with great interest.
