Cultivating immortality begins with discerning the secrets of heaven.

Several months have passed since Lin Hongye left, and Lin Yun's cultivation has finally returned to normal.

If you do the math, he has been studying under Master Mo in Fire Cloud Valley for a year now.

clang!clang!clang!

In Lin Yun's courtyard, a series of rhythmic clanging sounds of blacksmithing rang out.

In the forge before him, a fine iron longsword gradually took shape, its fiery red blade scorching and distorting the air.

Immediately afterwards, he took the fine iron longsword out of the forge and placed it in the water vat next to him.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The calm water surface instantly boiled, and flames shot out wildly.

"Given the limited resources available now, we can only use spring water for quenching. I've heard that some weapon refiners, in pursuit of the ultimate rigidity and toughness of magical artifacts, will use the oil extracted from the bodies of demonic beasts for quenching."

Lin Yun muttered to himself, then focused on refining the prototype of the magic sword.

This sword was forged from refined iron, and from the raw materials to the blade, it can be said to have truly undergone countless hammerings and forgings.

Before long, as the sword cooled down, Lin Yun sharpened its edge.

hum!

The snow-white, fine iron longsword reflected a cold glint; even a single strand of hair falling onto it would be sliced ​​in two.

It's as easy as blowing a hair off!

"What a fine sword!"

Lin Yun gave a heartfelt exclamation of praise, extremely satisfied with his masterpiece.

He held the fine iron longsword in his hand, feeling its heavy weight, and Lin Yun couldn't help but lightly swing it in the air.

call out!

A whooshing sound rang out, demonstrating just how sharp the longsword was.

Immediately afterwards, he held the longsword vertically, with the tip pointing towards the ground.

Lin Yun naturally released his hand, and the longsword did not fall to the ground, but instead plunged deeply into the bluestone pavement beneath his feet, submerging half of the sword!

"If this sword were to be thrown into the mortal world, it would certainly be worthy of the name of a divine weapon."

"However, if you want to use it to deal with cultivators, it still needs to be tempered and inscribed with spirit patterns."

Lin Yun muttered to himself, then hung the sword on the wall inside the room.

On this wall, there were three prototypes of magical artifacts made of refined iron hanging.

These are a fine iron long spear, a fine iron ring-pommel sword, and a fine iron dagger!

"Now I should be able to graduate from Master Mo's tutelage."

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his storage bag, and a long spear engraved with earth-covering patterns and sharp gold patterns appeared in his hand.

When Lin Yun mobilized his magic power to activate this fine iron spear, the guiding spiritual patterns engraved on the spear body connected the earth-covering patterns and the sharp metal patterns, and then the spearhead emitted a sharp spiritual light.

"go!"

This fine iron spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, circled his body twice at his will before finally falling back into his hand.

A low-grade magical artifact, a fine iron spear!

That's right, Lin Yun is now able to independently refine low-grade magic weapons, but the current designs are still limited to refined iron.

"Thanks to the weapon-refining manual that Sister Hongye gave me last time, the weapon-refining tips in it have benefited me a lot."

Besides the insights into weapon crafting, the notebook also recorded several weapon crafting runes, of which Lin Yun has only learned one guiding rune so far.

These guiding runes can effectively balance the power of the spiritual runes and also facilitate the flow of spiritual energy on magical artifacts.

The only pity is that the manuscript was incomplete and not a complete weapon-refining inheritance.

Otherwise, it should be considered a late-stage first-tier weapon-refining inheritance.

"Several months have passed, and I wonder how Sister Hongye is doing in the sect. I heard that the competition for the Foundation Establishment Pill is coming to an end."

As he spoke, Lin Yun activated the Book of Insight in his mind and silently recited a phrase in his heart.

"Check on the current situation of Lin Hongye in the Taiyuan Sect."

Since Lin Yun added a page to the Book of Insight, some changes have indeed occurred.

Now, in addition to providing him with daily information about the cultivation world, the Book of Insight can also provide him with a specific piece of information related to a particular person, based on his will!

The earth's vein fire in the Cangxuan Domain is flourishing, and metal and wood elements are sprouting, making it ideal for alchemy and weapon crafting.

In the Southern Region of Cangxuan, at the Golden Plains, the Wu and Liu families have reached a cooperation agreement to establish a trading hub at the border of their territories. This aims to facilitate smoother trade between the two families and attract some independent cultivators.

In the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, in Yunluo Prefecture, a young man, pursued by his enemies, accidentally triggered the restrictions of an ancient cave, falling inside and narrowly escaping with his life.

[In the Frozen Night Sea, an Ice-Spine Whale gave birth to two calves, thus passing on a trace of its Ice Dragon bloodline.]

[In the Southern Region of Cangxuan, the sect leader of the Taiyuan Sect announced that he would return to Qingyuan Peak for a period of seclusion in order to break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. Sect affairs would be handled by his eldest disciple.]

[In a direct confrontation, Lin Hongye of Lingxu Peak, a member of the Taiyuan Sect, defeated Wu Tong and Li Tianhe, officially becoming the senior disciple of Lingxu Peak and gaining priority in exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills.]

Upon seeing the last message, Lin Yun was surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Hongye to be making such rapid progress, already able to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"With her talent, as long as she doesn't seek an immediate breakthrough and cultivates steadily for another two or three years to consolidate her foundation, advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage shouldn't be difficult."

"It seems that my Lin family will soon become a family with two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in charge."

One Foundation Establishment Ancestor guards Huangzhu Mountain, while a rising star shines brightly in the Upper Sect.

The Lin family should have no worries for the next hundred years or so.

As long as they don't offend those ancient families, the surrounding families will give the Lin family some face.

After all, one of the young members of the Lin family has become a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Taiyuan Sect. This is the foundation of the family. Anyone who wants to make a move against the Lin family must consider the existence of Lin Hongye.

"It would be wonderful if the family became stronger and stronger, but I also need to work even harder."

Lin Yun sighed to himself, "The cultivation foundation of the four spiritual roots is still too poor."

He hasn't been lazy at all these past few months. Apart from improving his weapon-refining skills, he has focused all his attention on cultivation, even putting aside his practice of the Blood-Moving Technique.

However, he has already consumed two bottles of Nourishing Spirit Pills, and his cultivation level is still stuck at the third level of Qi Refining, with a considerable distance to go before advancing to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"Next, I should focus on cultivation. It will be difficult to improve my weapon crafting skills in a short time. It would be best to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible."

Lingyunmi eats a pound of rice every day as usual, and still has quite a bit left over.

As for the Spirit Nourishing Pills, the family sent six bottles, and Chen Guan had also given him one bottle before.

I used up one bottle when I advanced to the third level of Qi Refining, and I've used up two more bottles in the past few months, so I still have four bottles left.

"Four bottles should be enough for me to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but I have been taking pills too frequently in a short period of time, and the amount of pill toxins accumulated in my body is still a bit excessive."

As the saying goes, every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Even pills made from rare herbs and medicinal plants can accumulate toxins in the internal organs if ingested in excess.

The best way to resolve erysipelas is to use abundant qi and blood to cleanse and refine the internal organs, expelling it from the body.

Therefore, the "Blood Transporting Technique" that Lin Hairong gave him was particularly important. If he could cultivate it to a minor level, the elixir poison in his body would no longer be a serious problem.

Just as Lin Yun sat cross-legged, preparing to cultivate seriously, a messenger bird circled around outside his courtyard and dropped a letter down.

"Hmm? Someone sent me a message. Who could it be?"

...
