Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

After Gong Yi left, Lin Yuan, as usual, put the Qing Shuang Sword into the refining furnace to begin repairs.

He now has a very good grasp of controlling the spirit fire.

After a moment, he adjusted the fire to a moderate level and then slowly added spirit iron and spirit liquid into it.

Recalling the contents of the "Nine Revolutions Refining Technique" that he had finished practicing over the past few days, he gradually increased the intensity of the fire.

This time, the repair work on Lin Yuan was no longer just about minor cracks, making it much more difficult than before.

As Lin Yuan cast his spell, the spiritual fire burned brighter and brighter, and the auxiliary materials in the furnace gradually melted into the sword.

Lin Yuan used his spiritual power to sense the situation inside the furnace and saw that the sword was being repaired little by little, so he took the opportunity to add more fire.

Time passed slowly, and Lin Yuan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The further he went, the more Lin Yuan felt the difficulty of the integration.

But Lin Yuan did not give up and continued to grit his teeth.

And so it went until the sky began to lighten and the dawn gradually illuminated the entire world before Lin Yuan finally finished the repairs.

He summoned the sword from the furnace to his eyes, and saw that all the cracks on the sword had been repaired.

Even a small nick on the sword was repaired.

Now, the only remaining issues are the three large nicks on the sword, which are also the most difficult to repair.

It seems we'll have to put in some more effort.

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Lin Yuan then quickly tidied himself up and went out.

He had no intention of personally guarding the Dharma Transmission Hall today; he only planned to instruct someone to keep watch outside.

After all, the teachings at the Dharma Hall recently consisted of simple spells, which were not very useful to him.

It would be better to set aside some time for cultivation.

only......

Before he even reached the Dharma Transmission Hall, the Tenth Elder suddenly appeared before him.

"Tenth Elder." Lin Yuan stepped forward and bowed to the Tenth Elder.

"Lin Yuan, I've come to you today to ask you something." Under the Tenth Elder's stern face, even a simple inquiry was hard to ignore and felt like an interrogation.

But Lin Yuan remained composed, asking calmly, "Tenth Elder, what is it?"

The Tenth Elder did not reply immediately, but gently raised his right hand. In a flash of blue light, a pair of golden maces appeared in his hand.

Then he said, "Lin Yuan, this is a mid-grade magic weapon, the Radiant Twin Maces. Can you repair it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon the double maces in the Tenth Elder's hand, which had been broken into four pieces.

He couldn't help but ponder it to himself.

As far as he knew, the Tenth Elder's magical weapon was not a pair of maces.

But at this moment, he personally took the double maces and asked him if they could be repaired.

He quickly connected this matter with the test that Gong Yi had mentioned.

As his thoughts raced, Lin Yuan simultaneously summoned the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes to check the required number of repairs—

[Death in a cultivation illusion, the second life begins]

Current page number: 2

Pages remaining: 98

Name: Lin Yuan

Age: 22

The reward for reincarnation is: Restoring all things.

[Currently repairable: Mid-grade magic weapons and below, cultivation techniques]

[Number of repairs remaining for the day: 5]

[Under Repair: Golden Twin Maces (0/15)]

15 times?

Using all daily repair attempts would take 3 days.

He had recently gained considerable knowledge of weapon crafting and naturally realized that the damage to these double maces could not possibly have been repaired in just 3 days if the repair process were proceeding at a normal pace.

If he were to reply directly based on this number of days, Gong Yi had said that Yu Xian was very skilled in weapon crafting. If he were to ask about the details after passing the test, I'm afraid... something might go wrong.

However, he couldn't make the repair time sound ordinary, since it was a test and he had to perform exceptionally well to pass.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Yuan slowly said, "Reporting to the Tenth Elder, I will be able to fully repair it in six days."

"Alright," the Tenth Elder said, waving his sleeve. After the twin maces were in Lin Yuan's hands, he continued, "Then hand them over to me in six days."

After saying that, he disappeared from Lin Yuan's sight.
