He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.

"That's true, but I don't know how to refine a natal magic weapon." Xu Yi spoke the truth. He really didn't know how to refine it. He had never used the methods from later generations because he had never encountered the sword from that time.

The sword immediately recognized its master without the slightest hesitation or discomfort, as if it had always belonged to him.

However, according to the system's assessment, this iron sword has not yet undergone any evolution. Although it is set as his magic weapon, Xu Yi cannot control it with his divine sense. This is probably because it has not yet been refined using the corresponding cultivation technique.

Then the problem arises: Xu Yi has no idea how to refine these magical treasures right now, which is the biggest problem. With his current talent, he cannot create something out of nothing or create some methods out of thin air. That's unrealistic. He simply doesn't have any reference materials.

"Oh, I see. Well, that's perfect timing. I just obtained a spell for refining sword-type magic weapons today, but I haven't had time to study it. Little Xu, why don't you study it for me?" Liu Cheng looked at Xu Yi with a smile. His words were so pleasant that Xu Yi couldn't find a single fault with them.

Xu Yi even felt that if he didn't accept this magic weapon, it meant that he himself was unwilling to work for Liu Cheng. It has to be said that someone who can sit at the level of the manager of Wanbaoge must have impeccable emotional intelligence.

"In that case, Manager Liu, I will accept it." Xu Yi felt a warmth in his heart. He understood that Liu Cheng was trying to curry favor with him, and he agreed with this approach.

Liu Cheng is not a bad person; in fact, you could say he's a very good person.

Ever since he joined Wanbaoge, Liu Cheng has been helping him without the slightest disdain or ulterior motives. He truly intends to cultivate him as a trusted confidant.

"Good, good, Xu, that's more like it." Liu Cheng laughed. He said this on purpose to make Xu Yi feel good about him by offering such benefits. He had used this method many times before, but he also genuinely wanted to help his subordinates improve their strength.

After all, the stronger they are, the more room for error they have during the escort mission. What if, just what if his act of gifting magic played a crucial role in this escort mission?

In a life-or-death duel, every improvement in strength can have a revolutionary impact on the battle.

Liu Cheng has gotten to where he is today, so he naturally knows the ins and outs of it.

Liu Cheng knew the ins and outs of combat all too well.

He's fought countless battles and surrounded countless goods; he's experienced many life-or-death duels. He's survived to this day entirely thanks to his rich experience.

Soon, a storage ring flashed in Liu Cheng's hand, and a yellowed manual appeared in his palm. Liu Cheng handed the yellowed manual to Xu Yi.

He instructed, "Xu Yi, take this manual. It's the original, so it's not particularly valuable. However, since I've given it to you to study, you'll have to study it yourself."

Liu Cheng wasn't afraid that Xu Yi would spread the word, but there were some things he should say and some instructions he should give. This was originally a secret manual that he was going to give to Xu Yi, and he didn't have any other ideas about how Xu Yi would handle it afterwards.

He no longer cared about these things, because he had already refined the so-called natal magic weapon, which was specifically designed for sword cultivators and sword-type magic weapons. His natal magic weapon was a bell, so this manual was completely useless to him.

He figured that since the item was useless to him, keeping it would be pointless, so he might as well do it as a favor.

Xu Yi nodded and accepted the manual. Just as he was about to put it in his sleeve, he froze.

Oh right, it doesn't have the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve" supernatural ability yet.

Liu Cheng seemed to have noticed Xu Yi's loss of composure, and he immediately took out a storage ring from his pocket and handed it to Xu Yi.

"Take this and use it first. It's nothing precious, so there's no need to say anything more." Liu Cheng was also surprised that someone like Xu Yi wouldn't have a storage magic item.

It's really strange. Could it be that these cultivators who come out to train don't bring anything with them? But Xu Yi doesn't look like a dullard who only knows how to cultivate. His combat experience is definitely top-notch.

In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, Liu Cheng believed that he could absolutely sweep aside those of the same realm, unless there were core disciples of major sects or immortal mountains who might be able to compete with him.

These are all Liu Cheng's guesses. He comes from Wanbaoge, which is a top-tier power. However, his strength is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. In the ranking of Wanbaoge's escorts, he is not even ranked in the top 1,000. It is conceivable how deep the water is in Wanbaoge.

In Lion City, he boasted that he was invincible below the city lord of the Undying Realm. But it was only in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion that he realized the vastness of this world and how insignificant his own strength was.

He sighed. If he could make it into the top 1,000 of the Wanbao Pavilion, his status as a head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) would truly improve. You know, there are other rewards for being in the top 1,000, and they are quite generous.

The top 100 or top 10 will receive extra rewards, and the returns are not low. However, this ranking is only done once every ten years. The meeting is held once every ten years, and the rewards are given once every ten years. Each reward lasts for ten years.

Wanbaoge's immense wealth is perfectly exemplified here.

"Thank you very much, Manager Liu." Xu Yi said his thanks. Actually, he did have storage functions. In the system's space, he could even put living things inside, which was much more powerful than this so-called storage ring. However, there were many people around now, and if this thing disappeared without a trace, it would be a disaster. He didn't know if the Snake God or something else was watching him. He had to be careful in everything he did, just in case.

The process of a storage ring recognizing its owner is much simpler. Xu Yi only needed to dab a drop of blood from his fingertip to instantly establish a connection with the storage ring. Xu Yi had always been curious about how such a small ring was made, as it could contain such a large object and even have corresponding formations inscribed inside. This technique left Xu Yi somewhat speechless.

Could it be that such a small magic treasure also requires a Golden Core cultivator to forge? As far as he knew, only Golden Core cultivators could master certain laws. This kind of storage ring must have already involved the laws of the Golden Core stage, right?

The laws of space—this is Xu Yi's guess, or perhaps this production requires special ores? Then what kind of ores possess this ability?

This is Xu Yi's guess, and he has never found the answer to any of his many guesses.

"Alright, let's rest for another day and set off tomorrow, shall we?" Liu Cheng announced again after seeing Xu Yi put away the manual.

Xu Yi nodded: "I will follow the manager's instructions."

"Okay, you can go and get acquainted with Lao Hei and the others first. I'll be going now. Oh, by the way, your room has been arranged. You can find your accommodation by following the instructions on the token."

If you can't find it,

"You can go to the store and ask. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." After saying that, Liu Cheng patted Xu Yi on the shoulder and then turned and left.

After Liu Cheng left, the middle-aged cultivator known as Lao Hei approached Xu Yi and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Chief Escort."

Old Hei's tone was very respectful, perfectly befitting the attitude of a subordinate towards a superior.

This gave Xu Yi a strange feeling. He didn't like this unfamiliar feeling. After all, they would be working together later, and this unfamiliar way of addressing each other was quite uncomfortable.

"No need for formalities, Lao Hei. I'll just call you Lao Hei. Since Manager Liu has given the order, let's rest and recuperate for the night and set off promptly at dawn tomorrow."

The hour of Mao (5-7 AM) was the time Liu Cheng specifically instructed. Xu Yi was merely relaying his orders. According to Liu Cheng, this escort mission was quite important and required a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator to oversee it. Xu Yi was the chosen person.

Escorting goods is important, but it also means high returns and high risks.

Although it is unknown who leaked this itinerary, most of the time, these cultivators have fixed routes and will ambush people at places they must pass through.

This batch of materials is special; it cannot be stored in a storage ring, nor can it be transported via an array. Therefore, it requires a large amount of manpower to transport, indicating that this batch of materials is worth its price.

Xu Yi didn't really care about high returns; he preferred more danger so he could hunt openly and gain more lifespan, thus making himself stronger.

Xu Yi doesn't actually need to rest or adjust his breathing tonight. Liu Cheng probably knows this, since he just asked everyone about it, but later changed his mind.

This is Liu Cheng giving Xu Yi a chance to refine his natal magic weapon tonight. This will greatly enhance Xu Yi's strength, providing an extra layer of protection for escorting this shipment.

There are those who escort goods, and naturally there will be those who rob them. However, most of them are people with bad intentions or who want to profit for nothing. There are quite a few of these people, so we must be careful.

Similarly, there must be people selling tracking information within Wanbaoge, otherwise they wouldn't encounter powerful robbers every time they escort goods. Sometimes, Liu Cheng even thought that Wanbaoge had hired people to rob the goods in order to highlight their own security.

Such an operation is not impossible. Liu Cheng shook his head, trying to think positively. The world is a big place, and anything is possible.

After Xu Yi returned to his room following the token's instructions, he began to peruse the book on how to refine one's natal magic weapon, which Liu Cheng had given him.

Before he knew it, Xu Yi had become completely absorbed in it.

About three hours later, Xu Yi woke up from his reverie and put the manual into the system's space. He had already learned it, and now he needed to try it out with the iron sword on his back!

Xu Yi used his divine sense to control the iron sword, which flew out from behind him and arrived in front of him. Then, Xu Yi began to make hand seals and silently chant incantations. Soon, the words Xu Yi uttered emitted a golden light and were engraved on the iron sword.

It wasn't actually engraved on, but rather a spell that could barely leave a mark. This was done so that his divine soul power could invade it and occupy the world of the iron sword.

This allows the iron sword and Xu Yi's consciousness to become fully connected.

This method is perfectly feasible. Fortunately, it is a sword-type magic weapon. If it were a bell-type magic weapon, it would be much more troublesome to refine. Fortunately, it is not a needle-type magic weapon, which would be much more difficult to refine.

When it comes to magical artifacts, you only need to refine the one that best suits your needs.

This refining process did not make the iron sword his natal magic weapon; it only made it his magic weapon.

Soon, Xu Yi filled the entire iron sword with his divine sense imprint.

Then began the continuous refining process...

An hour later, Xu Yi opened his eyes. He was exhausted. He hadn't expected that refining the iron sword would consume so much of his spiritual power. He felt completely drained.

Fortunately, just as Xu Yi felt exhausted, a cool stellar energy surged into his dantian, instantly restoring him to an excellent state.

And that endless incantation showed no signs of being consumed.

Xu Yi was somewhat shocked. What exactly was this endless stream of star power?

Because Xu Yi cultivated the Seven Stars, he could use the Greedy Wolf Star to transform the power of the stars, thereby restoring his divine consciousness.

A refreshing sensation washed over him, and Xu Yi felt his energy return.

The iron sword has been fully refined, and only now has it truly become his magic weapon.

Only when it has been refined to this extent can it become a true magic weapon.

However, their cooperation is not close enough.

Only after refining the iron sword did Xu Yi realize its true purpose.

It can be used to defeat enemies, exert some effects of divine sense magic, and can also take heads from thousands of miles away.

The greatest function of this iron sword is that it can pierce through space.

This is also the most terrifying characteristic that Xu Yi has discovered so far.

Once enough magic power is infused into the iron sword, it can pierce through space and create an opening in this solid space.

After learning all this, Xu Yi quickly shrank the iron sword and stored it in his mind. This was also the effect of refining the iron sword, allowing him to store it in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The iron sword seemed even sharper.

We'll probably be fighting side-by-side for a very long time after that.

Xu Yi had high hopes for this iron sword. It could unleash all of Xu Yi's current soul-type attacks, and with the sword's sharpness, it could exert an even more powerful effect.

With that thought in mind, Xu Yi closed his eyes to rest. There was nothing else to do, so he could finally regulate his breathing.

He really needed to recuperate; he had used up too much of his mana.

Xu Yi activated his cultivation technique, following the route he remembered, and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

The best time to absorb spiritual energy for the Divine Illumination and Cloud Glow Technique is in the early morning, when one can also reap better rewards.

Xu Yi naturally understood this.

He no longer cultivated indoors, but went to the rooftop. He began to absorb the aura of the morning glow and the purple energy. Soon, wisps of misty energy rose around him.

It enveloped Xu Yi.
