"Tsk, tsk, this sword of yours is not simple. Although it is only a mysterious level sword, when it comes to spiritual sharpness, it will never be inferior to ordinary earth-level spiritual things!"
Not only was Qiu Jieyi not angry because of the sudden attack of the Wuchang Knife, but she showed a look of joy at the sight of the Wuchang Knife. She stretched out her hand to grab the Wuchang Knife and held it in her hand.
Sensing that the Impermanent Knife seemed to be trembling unwillingly, Xu Luo quickly calmed it down in his heart.
"Heart-closed Jade, Nine Evil Waters... Hey, there's even Nine Orifices Weeping Blood Gold! No wonder it's so sharp and unparalleled!"
At this time, Qiu Jieyi seemed to have forgotten about Xu Luo. He kept groping the black and white sword with his palms and mumbling something from time to time.
After only hearing a few words, Xu Luo was secretly stunned. Standing aside honestly, this old man really deserves the title of master!
After a long while, Qiu Jieyi frowned again and folded the Wuchang Knife in half like kneading noodles. Xu Luo was so sweaty that he was afraid that the Wuchang Knife would go berserk.
But I have to admit that this Lord Siming does have some real abilities!
I don't know what means he used, but the always unruly Wuchang Dao didn't show any intention of struggling, and even felt a little bit of relief towards Xu Luo.
"You're in luck! This long sword is already on the verge of breaking through. If I add more fuel to the fire, it's a sure thing..."
At this time, Qiu Jieyi suddenly threw the Wuchang knife back to Xu Luo, and looked at the E-shaped lantern again.
"Is it you, the lantern?"
Seeing him pondering for a long time but not speaking, Xu Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. To be honest, the material of the E-shaped lamp is inferior to that of the Wuchang knife.
But after all, this is his first spiritual object. It has been with him all the way until now, and he really doesn't want to give up.
"The material was only average at first, but it was refined by your boy day and night, and now it is considered to be average, but there is something interesting about the candle flame!"
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment. When had he ever warmed up a lamp with the character "E"?
But he immediately understood that Qiu Jieyi's words should be in vain!
Seeing Xu Luo's dull expression, Qiu Jieyi thought he was worried about E Zi Deng's future promotion, so he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Don't worry, as the so-called great roads lead to the same destination through different paths, the promotion of spiritual beings is actually the same as that of us cultivators.
As long as it can survive the level of the earth level, its own material will be the least important later on. Spirituality and opportunity are the keys to its advancement!
Otherwise, we won’t be called Lingbao after the heaven level!”
Xu Luo knew that he had misunderstood, but he had no way to explain it at this time. He could only cooperate and show a relieved smile, while Qiu Jieyi frowned slightly.
"However, this lantern is not as good as the long sword just now, and the tempering time is probably longer. Do you want to go back and explain it first?"
Xu Luo thought for a while, it didn't matter if it was different, the main thing was that Ma Gan and the two really needed to explain themselves.
"There's no need to go back. I can just leave a message with my subordinates and a few acquaintances. But it would be inappropriate if we delay the work of the Exorcism Department for too long?"
Qiu Jieyi curled her lips in disdain.
"Those are just some window-dressing efforts to appease ordinary people. Don't you really think that just a few exorcists from the Exorcism Department can stop all the monsters outside the city?"
Xu Luo's heart was like thunder exploding, yes! It seemed that no one had thought about this problem.
Could it be that such a huge Black Turtle City could be stable for so many years just by relying on a few Ningsha and Aiki Realm exorcists?
Although there is a protective talisman array, don't forget that there is a more powerful Wei tribe above the weird things in the Fairy Realm, which can suppress the human race, the spirit of all things, to the ground. How can such a race be easy to fight with?
Xu Luo couldn't help but feel doubtful anymore, and he raised his head to look over.
"Si Ming, what on earth is going on?"
Qiu Jieyi hesitated for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh.
"All the cultivators in Xuangui City have been dealing with the lower court all year round, and they all think that the people in Lingyun Peak spend countless resources all day long, but they just sit in the cave and practice.
But if a cultivator soaks in spiritual energy every day and can be promoted smoothly, then the one with the highest cultivation level now should be the turtle in Lingyun Peak Waterfall!"
His eyes became a little confused, as if he was thinking of something unforgettable from the past, and he paused for a moment before continuing.
"Cultivation is basically going against the will of heaven. How can there be smooth sailing all the way?
Therefore, even if the Dharma couple has everything they need, there is no fool who would stay at the mountain gate and not go through the training of the world...
Why are we called the Begging Union? Can't you young people think more about it?"
Having said this, he had a look of embarrassment on his face but he didn't say any more, he just spoke vaguely.
"Well, there are some things you know now that are useless. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will understand. The only thing you have to do now is to practice hard!
In addition, you don’t need to worry about your exorcist duties. Although I don’t care about anything, I still think it’s convenient.”
His words were so confusing that Xu Luo felt as if a cat was clawing at his heart, but he could only suppress it temporarily.
Well, the main reason is that I can’t even beat him!
He took out his identity jade tag and left a few words for Ma Gan and the other two, and then at Qiu Jieyi's signal, he sat down next to the stream.
Qiu Jieyi glanced at the sky above. A colorful stream of light spread across the entire backyard like a rainbow, and all the external disturbances were instantly isolated.
Qiu Jieyi walked to the stream with the leaky bucket, pressed down the mouth of the bucket, and uttered an instruction.
"The lantern may take about three days. You just need to recharge your batteries now. When the spiritual creature reaches its final promotion moment, the more the host's essence is instilled, the more spiritual it will be. Do you understand?"
This was not the first time Xu Luo had experienced this kind of thing. Hearing this, he just nodded silently.
Qiu Jieyi lifted up the leaky bucket, and the mouth of the small bucket instantly transformed into a spectacular scene of turbulent winds and clouds.
Countless clouds and mist rose up, wrapping the Impermanent Knife tightly.
The whole body of the Impermanence Sword was trembling violently, as if it was undergoing great pain. Qiu Jieyi ignored all this, but suddenly stretched out his palm and patted the barrel.
Boom, a narrow long knife appeared above the mouth of the bucket, and every texture and every trace of the knife's light was clearly visible.
Qiu Jieyi's expression became extremely cautious, and her thick black fingers were beating flexibly as if playing some kind of melody.
Following his movements, the clouds and mist tightly surrounding the blade began to surge like water.
Every trace of cloud and mist whirls past the blade, and the pure cloud and mist will take on a gray-black color and merge into the middle of the leaky bucket again.
The next trace of cloud and mist immediately scraped across the blade, bringing out a trace of gray and black impurities again.
The Impermanent Knife never stopped trembling from the beginning to the end, but the emotion it conveyed obviously changed from pain to pleasure. Even later, it didn't even have to be washed away by those clouds and mist, it had already taken the initiative to meet it as if it couldn't wait.
From the beginning to the end, Qiu Jieyi never glanced upward, her eyes just stared at the leaky barrel, not missing every slight change in the long and narrow blade.
This unique method of refining weapons was also the first time Xu Luo had seen it.
Rumo could sense that Wuchangdao was almost bursting into joy, so he put down the last trace of worry in his heart.
As time goes by, the pure cloud and mist bring out less and less impurities from the blade.
The original clear line between black and white of the Impermanence Knife has begun to blur, and the colors on both sides spontaneously converge towards the middle, gradually converging into a gray-black color.
Qiu Jieyi's face showed a hint of joy, and he poured out all the stream water in the bucket without hesitation and filled it up again.
The regenerated wisps of clouds became more pure and fierce, and a cold edge appeared on the edge, scraping hard from the black and white blade.
Impermanence Knife let out a pleasant groan that could easily be misunderstood, and shook its body happily.
Although Xu Luo was closing his eyes to rest, their minds were connected, and the various changes of the Impermanence Sword could not be hidden from him.
At this moment, he was only glad that he did not open his eyes, otherwise he would have felt somewhat embarrassed.
Qiu Jieyi's eyes were fixed on the mixed black and white boundary at this moment.
Whenever the clouds and mist could no longer wash away impurities, he would replace the stream water in the leaky bucket.
The regenerated clouds and mist also changed from the original plain and gentle to become more and more fierce. Even the hard blade of the Impermanence Knife was carved with traces of marks by the clouds and mist.
As time gradually passed, Xu Luo was keenly aware that the spiritual consciousness of the Impermanent Knife became more and more lively and agile.
But he found strangely that the more this happened, the more cautious the expression on Qiu Jieyi's face became, even a bit ugly.
Xu Luo's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about being discovered and started using his supernatural powers again, staring at every change.
At this time, the water in the leaky bucket has been changed for the ninth time. The narrow blade exposed at the mouth of the bucket and the black and white separation in the middle can no longer be seen clearly.
But the further away from that boundary, the more distinct the black and white become.
The refining process had obviously reached a critical moment. Even though Qiu Jieyi was already in the Three Flowers Realm, beads of sweat began to appear on his head.
He looked at the clouds above that could no longer be purified of any impurities, and subconsciously shook his head with a hint of disappointment.
Xu Luo's heart sank, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but Qiu Jieyi's next words almost made him jump.
"Hey, it's a pity that it still lacks the charm of a heaven-level spiritual object!"
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qiu Jieyi with a speechless face. Aren't we refining earth-level spiritual objects? What the hell is this?
Qiu Jieyi looked at his resentful expression and smiled apologetically.
"It's okay, my old habit of always thinking about perfection has happened again!
Although this sword has not been able to cross the heaven-level threshold in one go, it is definitely one of the best among earth-level spiritual objects!"
Xu Luogan laughed a few times, but really didn't know how to answer.
It would be too pretentious to say that it was okay, and he would like to say that he was sorry, but the result was far beyond his expectation.
It could be seen that Qiu Jieyi really felt sorry for Wuchang Dao. Even when she was explaining to Xu Luo, she was still shaking her head and sighing, her disappointment was palpable.
"Okay, it's the last critical moment. Try to instill Qi and blood into it. Don't be too impatient yet... I didn't tell you not to be impatient..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Luo followed his instructions and carefully controlled the energy and blood to rush into the blade. It was too shocking, and he only activated less than 10% of the energy and blood in his body.
But just this amount of energy and blood has already enveloped the entire area around the two of them!
Qiu Jieyi almost shouted angrily, but he soon realized that this was equivalent to the intensity of qi and blood that can only be released in the Aiki realm, and Xu Luo was completely indifferent!
He swallowed his words of rebuke and looked towards Xu Luo with a changing expression in his eyes.
"I have underestimated a junior like you. Tsk, how did you get this abundant energy and blood in your body?"
Qi and blood surged out, and Xu Luo immediately reacted. This time, he was probably a little carried away!
His face turned pale with a swipe, but he still pretended to be a dead duck and forced himself to laugh.
"Senior, just let go and do whatever you want, junior can still hold on!"
Qiu Jieyi looked at him very suspiciously, but with Xu Luo's cultivation at this time, even the Three Flower Realm could not see the specific condition of his body as long as he didn't want to.
"That's all, as long as you can hold on, this kind of thing can only be good for spiritual creatures and not bad."
Qiu Jieyi found no abnormality in Xu Luo, and finally moved her eyes to the Impermanence Knife.
Xu Luo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, controlled the flow of energy and blood in his body, and gradually turned his face as pale as paper.
After a full stick of incense had passed, the Impermanent Knife suddenly let out a roar that sounded like it was tearing the sky apart, and it actually broke through the surrounding clouds and mist and shot straight into the blue sky.
"It's done!"
Qiu Jieyi's face showed joy and she couldn't help shouting.
There were big drops of sweat on Xu Luo's forehead. This was not because he was tired, but because he had been holding it in!
Sometimes you can't do your best at the critical moment, which is also extremely painful!
The black and white stream of light slashed hard at the rainbow talisman array above, and a crackling sound instantly sounded in the ears of the two people below.
Even Qiu Jieyi frowned subconsciously, but Xu Luo was not affected at all.
The Impermanent Knife paused in the air, and immediately turned into a stream of light with great reluctance, trying to break through the light curtain. Xu Luo was startled in his heart, and quickly called this ungrateful bastard back.
The black and white light appeared in front of Xu Luo as if teleporting, and then jumped up and down around him unwillingly.
Xu Luo wished he could slap this thing to death, as if he sensed his firm refusal in his heart, the Impermanent Knife sank into Xu Luo's body and disappeared like an angry child.
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized that this was a change unique to earth-level spiritual beings, able to completely integrate with the host.
In other words, from today on, the Impermanence Sword can be nourished and refined by Xu Luojing's temperature at any time, and the two grow together. This is the true integration of man and instrument.
Xu Luo was like a child who got a new toy, constantly calling the Impermanent Knife in and out of his body, full of joy!
But the Impermanence Sword has just been promoted at this time, how can it stand up to his inhumane ravages?
After a while, no matter how Xu Luo tried to coerce or induce him, he still refused to show his face in the long river of Xuanming in his dantian.
Xu Luo came back to his senses and saw Qiu Jieyi's eyes that were almost blazing with fire, and immediately hurriedly tried to please him and handed over the "E" lantern.
"Si Ming, why don't you think about this thing first? Feel free to touch it and look at it as long as you don't dismantle it."
Hearing his words, even Ezi Deng, who had always been hardworking and uncomplaining, couldn't help but jump a few times, and the scarlet candle flame almost burned towards Xu Luo.
Qiu Jieyi was really obsessed with the art of weapon refining. When he saw the spiritual behavior of the E-shaped lantern, he immediately threw the Impermanence Knife, his proud work that had just been promoted, out of the sky, and began to touch it randomly when he mentioned the E-shaped lantern.
Xu Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pretended to sit up cross-legged to meditate.
But what he didn't know was that Qiu Jieyi seemed to be focusing all his attention on the E-shaped lantern, but he never forgot to observe his various movements.
Xu Luo looked at the transparent heart that subconsciously surged with vigilance in his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
These old foxes were really difficult to deal with. It was obvious that even though he had managed to fool them, Qiu Jieyi was still suspicious.
