Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

Chapter 244 Going Abroad, Spiritual Treasure

Blue Sky Airport.

"Xiao Yi, please be careful after you go abroad."

"Don't go to those chaotic places abroad, unlike in China."

Qin Wanqing looked at Shi Yi and said.

She originally wanted Shi Yi to stay at home for a while longer, but Shi Yi wanted to go abroad earlier to familiarize himself with the environment there.

Although she was reluctant, it was Shi Yi's wish, and besides, Shi Yi was also preparing to study abroad. The environment was different, and he would naturally need time to adapt, so she couldn't refuse.

"Mom, I know!"

"I will be careful."

Shi Yi nodded.

He was well aware of the situation abroad; even countries that called themselves 'beacons of civilization' could not compare to Great Xia in terms of safety.

However, this is actually a good thing for Shi Yi.

He was naturally not afraid of chaos.

“Xiao Yi, you’ve grown up. Now you’re in college and you have your own opinions.”

"When you're away from home, you need to adapt to the local environment and solve problems on your own first. That's what a mature man should be like."

"Of course, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, just call home and your family can help you deal with them."

Shi Xuan patted Shi Yi on the shoulder and said seriously.

He felt somewhat guilty towards Shi Yi, but seeing that Shi Yi had gone abroad to study on his own, he knew that Shi Yi needed to grow on his own rather than according to his arrangements.

Back in China, they could help Shi Yi with those trivial matters, but abroad, Shi Yi has to handle them all himself.

In Shi Xuan's eyes, Shi Yi has grown up and should be able to handle these trivial matters on his own!

Studying abroad is a great way to grow and develop.

Furthermore, he has been studying the prescription given by Shi Yi during this period of time and has already made some progress. He has been preparing for it recently.

Although he encountered some troubles, he was confident that he could solve them.

However, he did not tell Shi Yi and the others about these things, because he felt that he was the only one who could handle this matter, and there was no need to tell his family and make them worry.

"Well, I will."

Shi Yi nodded again.

Arranging his own life was no problem for him. After all, he was able to manage his own life in this other world and gradually become an elite disciple of the Taiyi Sect.

All of this was created from scratch, and only he himself knew the difficulties involved.

Going abroad was very simple for him; he had been there before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

Furthermore, he had practiced several Taoist arts and martial arts techniques for this purpose.

Once we reach the United States, we will begin making preparations.

He can now begin doing some of the things he wanted to do before.

"Brother, have a safe journey."

Shi Hao looked up at Shi Yi and offered his blessings.

As Shi Hao grew older, he also became more sensible!

"Okay, I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi squatted down and patted Shi Hao's little head.

He may have harbored resentment towards Shi Hao in the past, but as he grew up and had the opportunity to explore another world, those resentments had long since dissipated in his heart!

His childhood experiences were just one part of his growth; he has overcome them, and his future will only be brighter. His past experiences have no impact on him anymore.

As boarding time approached, Shi Yi waved goodbye to his family.

He will be away from home for a long time this time, and he won't be coming back anytime soon!

The Weapon Refining Hall.

The Taiyi Dao Sect's weapon-refining hall is very lively, with many people coming and going every day. Some come to deliver refining materials, while others come to ask for help in refining weapons or to obtain other items.

The majority of weapons here are forged for Taoist purposes, though martial arts weapons are also forged. However, within the Taiyi sect, the forging of magical artifacts is the most common.

Some of these magical artifacts were used by disciples within the sect, while others were traded with other forces.

Forces like the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance would also actively acquire these Taoist weapons and then resell them elsewhere, earning profits in the process.

Before the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were similar merchant alliances, but these alliances were affected to some extent after the emergence of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance.

This also has a certain impact on the Taiyi Sect's ability to gain profits, because the Taiyi Sect is behind these business alliances.

Therefore, the higher-ups within the Taiyi Sect have been paying close attention to the situation of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance.

Some commotion also occurred within Beiyuan Prefecture City, and the disciples within the sect noticed some signs, although they were not very obvious.

Shi Yi, who spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating, had also heard some related information.

At this moment, Shi Yi also came to the weapon-refining hall again.

Because the time he had agreed upon with Lu Yan, the master craftsman of the Weapon Refining Hall, was approaching, he temporarily stopped his secluded cultivation and came to the Weapon Refining Hall.

According to the weapon-refining master Lü Yan, he should have already helped Shi Yi refine the Thunder Tribulation Sword into a Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure.

Shi Yi is also very much looking forward to this.

Although there is only a one-word difference between magic tools and magic treasures, their effects and the power they contain are not on the same level.

In particular, the fact that magical artifacts can be nurtured in the sea of ​​consciousness and may even develop spirituality greatly increases their maximum power.

Once Shi Yi obtains the magic weapon and nurtures it for a period of time, his combat power will greatly increase.

If nurtured properly, he could even contend with a master at the Dharma Aspect realm.

The higher one's level of Taoist cultivation, the stronger the suppression of that realm becomes. It becomes increasingly difficult to fight beyond one's realm solely based on Taoist cultivation. Only by combining it with powerful Taoist weapons or martial arts weapons can one possibly contend with it.

Shi Yi arrived at the place he had visited before, and his aura had recovered to almost the same level as before.

Although he hadn't reached perfection in his cultivation of the Xuanzhen Concealing Breath Technique these past few days, he no longer revealed that Zen-like aura when using his Yin Spirit to fight others without leaving his body!
Even when he uses the power of the Yin God, as long as he controls the state of using the power of the Yin God, he can prevent outsiders from noticing the changes in his body.

When he has perfected the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique, he won't need to do this anymore!

Shi Yi estimated his cultivation progress and concluded that it wouldn't take long for him to cultivate the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique to the perfect level.

He is also very talented in Taoist cultivation. Shi Yi knew this very well when he was practicing the Golden Crow Divine Fire Taoist technique. Now, the Xuanzhen Breath Concealment Technique is just a further confirmation of this.

"You came!"

"I thought you would come over beforehand to ask about the situation, but I didn't expect you to have such a good attitude."

When Lü Yan saw Shi Yi approaching, he smiled and spoke.

His attitude was much better than when Shi Yi came last time.

"Master Gu said that Master Lü's weapon-forging ability is very strong, and he trusts you to handle weapon-forging."

“What Master says must make sense.”

Shi Yi said with a friendly expression. In his words, he also subtly elevated the other party's status.

People like to hear nice things, and even those who cultivate themselves are no exception.

Unless there is animosity, there is no need to be so confrontational in conversation.

After all, even within a sect, one needs to be mindful of interpersonal relationships.

"Since your master thinks so highly of me, I'd better show him my true abilities, or he'll laugh at me!"

"This is the tribulation-refining magic weapon I promised to help you with. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yan's smile widened even further.

Then, with a slight thought, Lü Yan sent a wooden box flying to Shi Yi's front.

He spent a lot of effort helping Shi Yi upgrade the Thunder Tribulation Sword into a magic weapon, so he didn't take Shi Yi's piece of lightning-struck wood for nothing.

Upon seeing this, Shi Yi took the wooden box and opened it to examine it.

A sword about half the size of an arm lay inside, its appearance quite different from the previous Thunder Tribulation Sword. It had many more patterns on it, as well as an extremely obvious metallic luster, shimmering with a cold, eerie light, making one feel its sharpness.

The difference in their aura alone is enough to sense their extraordinary nature.

In Shi Yi's eyes, he could see that the blue lines had increased significantly, making the situation more complex.

Shi Yi knew that Lü Yan had helped him refine it, not only in terms of its appearance, but also by adding materials and setting up new formations on it.

Compared to his previous Thunder Tribulation Sword, this newly crafted Thunder Tribulation Magic Treasure is definitely more powerful, as its appearance alone tells you it is no ordinary weapon.

With a slight thought, Shi Yi summoned the lightning tribulation magic weapon, which floated directly in front of him, its light shining even brighter!

With a casual flick of his finger, the lightning tribulation magic weapon pierced directly into the ground. The entire process was unimpeded and extremely sharp.

The killing power of the sword itself has increased significantly compared to before.

As for the destructive power of thunder within, Shi Yi did not attempt to use it.

Because this is not a good place to test the destructive power of thunder.

"It's worth the price!"

"But that's not all."

"Try dripping a drop of your blood on it; the secrets within will certainly not disappoint you."

Upon seeing this, Lü Yan's lips curled up slightly.

The magical artifacts and treasures he crafted were naturally far more powerful than those of others, and certainly not comparable to the person who had previously helped Shi Yi craft the Thunder Tribulation Sword.

And that's not all.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi made a cut on his index finger, and a drop of blood dripped onto the sword.

Instantly, the sword absorbed the blood, increasing the connection between Shi Yi and the sword.

Shi Yi had already recognized the Thunder Tribulation Sword as his master, so there was a connection between him and the Thunder Tribulation Sword, which was why he felt comfortable handing the Thunder Tribulation Sword over to the other party.

Even if others obtain the Thunder Tribulation Sword, their compatibility with it cannot match his.

However, Shi Yi was puzzled when the other party asked him to perform the blood oath ceremony again. But he didn't doubt the other party's intentions, so he tried it directly.

"This is."

"Spirituality?"

After his blood was absorbed by the lightning tribulation magic weapon, Shi Yi instantly felt a different kind of power contained within the sword. At first, he was a little uncertain and his tone was somewhat doubtful.

He knew that there were differences between magical artifacts, and the biggest difference was their spirituality.

A magical artifact that has not developed sentience is limited to its current state and is difficult to improve further. No matter how powerful the owner of the artifact is, they cannot change this; they can only try to make the artifact develop sentience.

However, if a magical artifact develops sentience, it's a different story. With prolonged nurturing, the artifact's power will increase, and it may even advance in rank along with its master.

Theoretically speaking, magical artifacts that develop spirituality have the potential to be upgraded to celestial artifacts.

However, this is quite difficult, and most magical artifacts would struggle to reach this stage.

However, even if a magical artifact with spiritual power fails to be upgraded to a celestial artifact, it still possesses spiritual power, and its power naturally far surpasses that of magical artifacts that have not been able to generate spiritual power.

It is also more compatible with the owner of the magic weapon, and it is easier to use it.

"That's right, it's spirituality. You're lucky."

"The lightning-struck wood you gave me is very valuable, so during the refining process, I added a portion of spirit wood with essence to the materials to increase the possibility of it developing spirituality."

"I never expected that it would develop sentience after being refined!"

"In all my years of weapon crafting, this is extremely rare. You are really lucky."

"Even for me, most of the magical treasures I create do not develop spirituality during the creation process. It is only after the treasure is nurtured by its owner that spirituality slowly emerges."

Lü Yan also sighed with emotion.

He had been refining artifacts for many years, but it was relatively rare for one to develop spirituality during the process of helping Shi Yi refine a magical treasure.

Treasures of this caliber are rarely seen even within the Taiyi Dao Sect.

If the Thunder Tribulation Sword that Shi Yi had given him before had not already recognized him as its master, left Shi Yi's mark, and was already in harmony with Shi Yi's aura, even he would have had some reservations.

Treasures of this caliber are also very attractive to those who cultivate the Tao.

Seeing Shi Yi once again drip blood to bind himself to the treasure, deepening the connection between him and the tribulation magic weapon, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even something extremely tempting can be a burden for him.

After all, such a thing was quite rare in his career of weapon crafting.

Lu Yan's gaze then fell upon the lightning-struck wood he had placed not far away, and he began to consider further enhancing the power of his magic weapon.

Given his status and cultivation level, he had already crafted his own magic weapon long ago. However, with materials like lightning-struck wood, he could further enhance his magic weapon and even give it the potential to develop sentience.

After all, if Shi Yi's tribulation magic weapon could so easily develop sentience, perhaps it could do the same during the process of further refining magic weapons.

Lü Yan is also very much looking forward to this.

"Looks like I'm really lucky."

Shi Yi felt a strong connection between the lightning tribulation magic weapon in his hand and the energy.

He even felt a sense of closeness within the lightning tribulation magic treasure, which was a manifestation of its spirituality.

"This tribulation magic weapon has only just begun to develop sentience. You should nurture it for a while and refrain from using it for now."

"Once the spiritual energy inside has completely stabilized, then we can use the tribulation lightning magic weapon."

"Otherwise, the newly born spirit might disappear, since it is still very weak."

"This period is also a time for you to improve your compatibility with the magic weapon, so remember that."

Lu Yan looked at the tribulation magic weapon in Shi Yi's hand and gave him serious instructions.

The birth of a magical artifact is a process of nurturing and cultivating harmony between the two, which is very helpful for the future.

That's why Lü Yan gave such serious instructions.
