Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 83 Arranging for the Eldest Brother
The next morning, it started to drizzle.

Inside the small cave at the mouth of the valley were Lu Li and Li Tan, who were fast asleep, and Xu Shangxin, who had just fallen asleep.

Pei Xia didn't need to sleep; when it rained, he was by the fire for the second time forging the "Hero, Spare My Life" sword.

He didn't move the fire into the cave until tiny raindrops landed on his nose.

He dug a shallow drainage ditch at the entrance of the cave, picked up his longsword, and continued the modifications he hadn't finished earlier.

The person who asked the hero to spare his life is of very good character.

Both Frost Iron and Silver Sand are top-grade materials, and Pei Xia's weapon-forging skills, inherited from her master's wife, are also exquisite.

Take the original sword within a staff, for example. After absorbing the essence of superior materials, it was forged to its final form with the help of the Blood Town Army. The sword broke free and was no longer an ordinary object.

According to popular belief, "Hero, spare my life" is considered a top-tier mystical treasure.

However, due to the influence of the cold air last night, a thick layer of frost has covered its thin, almost transparent sword body.

This is the condensation of the cold energy of the ice lotus; expecting it to melt on its own is impossible.

Pei Xia had nothing to do last night and was trying to reforge it.

Uh, I've run into a little trouble.

Pei Xia cultivated in his early years and received the ancient method of inheritance, which is the so-called separation of "martial arts" and "body".

In Weishan, Qingxianzi used the "Qi Gui" to extract Pei Xia's "martial arts" and "physical body" with his cultivation of observing the four realms of Qi.

This action may seem like it severed Pei Xia's arms, but in reality, after the two ancient methods were stripped away, what was left for Pei Xia was a seed of cultivation that led him back to his original, simple self.

His innate talent, even without undergoing the twelve stages of cultivation, surpasses that of Hua You.

His understanding of martial arts far surpasses his own level.

Combined with Weishan's teachings over the years, this resulted in Pei Xia, despite not being of a high level, being somewhat "inhuman."

To Pei Xia's surprise, even with his perfect qi composed of 720 pieces, he was still unable to subdue the cold qi, which had detached from his body and had no source.

"Xiao Tianshan's methods are indeed outrageous."

Pei Xia muttered to herself, no wonder even Qingxianzi always avoided mentioning them.

Pei Xia had tried all night, but seeing that there was no way to solve it, she was ready to give up.

But then I suddenly remembered everything that happened yesterday.

The ice lotus broke through the clouds because it had uprooted... no, absorbed the fire of the heart.

The inner fire now exists in his mind in a way that resembles a monstrous plague.

But wasn't the reason He transformed into a fire form because Ru Tao had corrupted the underground fire veins?

Can I borrow the flames of this fire vein?
Pei Xia gave it a try.

The sensation of contact with the inner fire disgusted him. It was very similar to when he borrowed the power of the calamity pig. A sudden, frenzied howl and roar, along with whispers that could disturb one's mind, filled all his senses.

Fortunately, he was no stranger to similar pain, and compared to the complete Calamity Pig, the burden of the Heart Fire was nothing to him.

A surge of heat began to flow into his meridians. Pei Xia skillfully controlled this spiritual power emanating from within, and crimson flames rose from his palms, swaying gracefully.

"The manipulation method is no different from ordinary spiritual power..."

Pei Xia raised his hand and lightly tapped the sword blade, which had been used to summon the hero's life. The red flames did pause for a moment when they touched the frost, but they quickly became active again.

It seems that the cold energy of the rootless ice lotus cannot suppress the fire in one's heart.

Through the red flames in his palm, Pei Xia regained his composure in crafting magical artifacts.

"Ru Tao," a fire vein separated from most of Kyushu, truly gave Pei Xia many surprises.

A light rain was falling outside the cave, not heavy, dripping down the stone edges at the cave entrance and landing in the water trough that Pei Xia had dug, making a soft "plop" sound.

The sounds were intermittent and continuous.

Xu Shangxin, whose cultivation level was the lowest, had also experienced a fierce battle last night and slept soundly. Although Li Tan's injuries were external, the fight with Luo Xiaojin had also greatly depleted her energy. More importantly, the shock to her mind when everything was revealed in the Xueyan Sect's main hall yesterday had left her feeling extremely exhausted.

Amid the sound of rain, only Lu Li rolled around, threw off the blanket, and squinted as she got up from the ground.

Then he swayed and walked out of the cave.

Pei Xia saw this and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Pee."

Lu Li had overexerted herself using her supernatural powers yesterday, but fortunately, it wasn't to the point of having to flee Beishi City. After resting for a night, she has recovered some of her energy.

After pulling up her pants, she wandered back from outside the cave as if in a daze.

With a "plop," he sat down on the ground, tilting his head to the side and resting it against Pei Xia's thigh.

She mumbled something with saliva in her mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Forging swords."

Pei Xia's second refining process, with the help of the red flames, is nearing completion.

The cold air was injected into the sword through Xu Shangxin, so even if the external frost melted away, it would be meaningless.

So Pei Xia changed her approach. Since the sword was already thin and slender, she decided to refine the unmelting ice crystals into the blade and edge of the sword!
Looking at his masterpiece, the three-foot-long sword was a deep, dark blue, with a translucent blade and a chilling aura. This was the real ice sword.

Hey, you from Xueyanmen, what's-his-name Chuan guy? Don't try to scam me.

Pear leaned against his leg, opened her small eyes to peek, then immediately closed them again, hugging her arms and tightening her body: "Why are you making yourself so cold?"

Pei Xia explained, "Xu Shangxin used the cold air to temper her meridians last night. It is estimated that her future spiritual cultivation will also be accompanied by ice and snow. This sword is also made with the spiritual power of the ice lotus, so it is of the same origin as her and complements her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately felt wide awake.

She grabbed Pei Xia's clothes and craned her neck: "You're not going to give the sword away, are you? Please, this looks like a rare treasure!"

The hero who spared his life had a good foundation. This time, with the Heavenly Mountain Ice Lotus and the Heart Fire of the Calamity Pig, he has been reborn and can now be called a precious magic artifact.

Valuable.

Pei Xia didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "When I was refining it at the academy, I said it was a gift for her."

Pear's face showed even more grievance: "You've never given me such a nice thing before!"

"Huh? What did I give you when you became my apprentice?"

"Two strings of sausages, fifteen eggs, one of which was rotten."

"...There's no need to remember it so clearly."

I'll remember that jerk for the rest of my life!

Pei Xia scratched his head, patted his little apprentice's back to comfort her for a while, and then slowly said, "Give it to her, keep it for self-defense."

"Keep it for self-defense" carries an unspoken meaning.

Lu Li paused for a moment: "You want to..."

Pei Xia sighed and tapped her head: "There is a way to deal with the Calamity Pig. I plan to go to Liancheng Fire Vein. I can't take her with me."

"But...but you brought her into the martial arts world."

"Given the situation at the time, we couldn't stay in Beishi City. If we didn't run, we'd be waiting to die."

"...Just leave her here like this?"

Pei Xia's eyes widened: "How could that be? I definitely have to find her a reliable place to settle down. We come from Weishan, we are a prestigious... uh, an unknown faction, we have to see things through to the end."

The light rain continued, and the pattering sound seemed to drown out the quiet chatter between the master and apprentice.

Xu Shangxin was exhausted, her sleeping face was adorable, she was curled up in the corner of the cave, sleeping very soundly.
