Chapter 196: Refining the Spiritual Sword
After his cultivation level advanced, Lin Xia's temperament became more and more detached, and he looked somewhat unfathomable. Even the Ninth Elder Shangguan Lan often felt that Lin Xia was extraordinary and not like an ordinary casual cultivator.
However, Lin Xia has an extremely high level of alchemy skills, so no matter what, she is a hot commodity in their Alchemy Pavilion. Even the usually arrogant Treasure Pavilion has to beg them to produce more pills. Shangguan Lan doesn't want to investigate the matter in detail.
In Shangguan Lan's opinion, it would be most beneficial for the Shangguan family if Lin Xia stayed at the family home; the rest was not important.
……
After entering the middle stage of the Golden Core, Lin Xia put refining his own spiritual sword on the agenda. The spiritual sword previously given to him by Su Linghan was no longer enough for Lin Xia.
Over the years, Lin Xia has basically collected all the materials with eight attributes for refining his natal spirit sword, except for one most important material, a material with no attributes and extremely strong inclusiveness.
Fortunately, there happened to be a piece of such a mineral in the Qinglin Space. It was a star meteorite without attributes that the Xingyue Fairy had collected when she was training in the prehistoric world.
Lin Xia sometimes thinks that everything that happens to her now seems to be destined. Her past self may have known that this would happen a long time ago, so she prepared so many things in the Qinglin Space.
Of course, there is no point in thinking so much now. Lin Xia knows that one day these mysteries will be solved.
Since I have decided to refine my own spiritual sword, I must go into seclusion.
Lin Xia did not forget that he was now one of the important pillars of the Alchemy Pavilion. He opened the furnace to complete the alchemy tasks for a year and received a whole year's worth of spirit stones and points before announcing that he would go into seclusion.
In Huanxijuli, Lin Xia hung up a Do Not Disturb sign. As for Xiaochu, Uncle Shu and the others, Lin Xia did not put them into Qinglin Space and asked Shangguan Hong to take good care of them.
Since Shangguan Hong's cultivation level advanced, and the four-tailed fox often ran to the inner courtyard, he simply applied for a transfer. Now he is an elder in the inner courtyard, and his residence is not far from Lin Xia's Huanxiju. Xiaochu and Uncle Shu have been there countless times and are very familiar with it.
Lin Xia still trusts Shangguan Hong's character. Of course, Lin Xia also trusts Xiaochu and the others' disguise.
……
In the training room of Qinglin Immortal Mansion, Lin Xia was carefully purifying impurities, and dozens of materials were placed aside in different categories.
As a weapon refiner, the natural way to purify impurities is to swing the hammer. This is also a common method of removing impurities when refining weapons in the world of cultivation.
Lin Xia had already mastered the trick of swinging a sledgehammer when he was in Tieshi City, and now he was very familiar with the materials.
With the help of the Falling Star Flame, the speed of purification has been greatly improved.
The natal spirit sword that Lin Xia planned to refine was not just a sword, but a sword composed of spirit swords of eight attributes. If necessary, one sword could be divided into eight swords, and the eight swords could be combined into one sword.
Therefore, the materials Lin Xia needed to refine his natal spirit sword this time were not few. Even though the speed was very fast, it still took more than half a year to purify all the materials.
The next step is to make the sword blanks. Lin Xia already has a preliminary idea of the sword blanks for the eight swords, so he can refine them one by one.
Before refining the sword blank, Lin Xia also needs to fuse eight materials with different properties together, and then forge them together with the meteorite.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice, different sword blanks require different patterns to enhance their properties.
Another three months passed, and at this time Lin Xia had completed the refining of eight sword blanks. Success or failure depended on this one move!
Looking at the eight sword embryos floating in front of him, Lin Xia used his spiritual sense to control them to gradually move closer and finally merge into one.
The patterns on the eight sword blanks were naturally connected together when the sword blanks were merged into one, forming a new pattern, as if it had always been like this, without any abruptness.
"Done!" At this point, it was equivalent to completing the most difficult step. Seeing that the eight spirit swords did not have any rejection reaction, Lin Xia couldn't help but smile.
At the same time, Lin Xia also took out a piece of innate spiritual jade that he had prepared in advance from the storage ring, intending to give birth to the spirit of the sword embryo.
Innate spiritual jade is an extremely special material. It does not need to be purified. It only needs to be integrated into the sword blank after it is formed.
The Falling Star Flame was very familiar with this kind of work. Without Lin Xia's instructions, the innate spiritual jade had already been transformed into a pool of milky white liquid under the calcination of the Falling Star Flame.
Seeing this, Lin Xia did not forget to praise the Falling Star Flame.
At the same time, the refined sword blank was carefully placed into the milky white liquid. After a while, the liquid was completely absorbed by the sword blank and completely penetrated into the entire sword body, and a layer of imperceptible flowing light appeared on the entire sword body.
Nothing can be seen at the moment. Even if the sword embryo has produced a spirit, it will not be easy for Lin Xia to discover it.
This sword blank took Lin Xia nearly a year of hard work. The next step was to sharpen the sword blank and recognize its ownership by dripping blood.
Generally speaking, a cultivator can possess many magical instruments at the same time, but can only have one natal magic weapon. It takes the cultivator's blood and sweat to make the natal magic weapon recognize its master. At the same time, the natal magic weapon is connected to the cultivator's mind and can enter the cultivator's sea of consciousness for nourishment.
Sharpening the sword blank and extracting the blood from the heart required a large amount of Lin Xia's spiritual energy. Lin Xia simply meditated and practiced for a while, and only started the last two steps after his condition recovered to the best.
Dividing the sword embryo into eight sword embryos, Lin Xia controlled his spiritual power and began to sharpen the eight sword embryos. The eight sword embryos surrounded Lin Xia in a circle. Under the forging of Lin Xia's spiritual power and consciousness, the sharpness of the eight sword embryos gradually emerged. At the same time, the spiritual energy in the Qinglin space converged towards the training room where Lin Xia was at a strange speed.
At this time, the eight sword embryos finally began to take the shape of spiritual swords.
Then, under Lin Xia's control, the eight spirit swords merged into a sharp spirit sword, with the sword body shining.
Only then did Lin Xia pour his heart's blood into the magic sword.
"Zheng!" With the sound of a crisp sword, Lin Xia felt that he and the spirit sword in front of him were in tune with each other. The newborn joy on the spirit sword was also transmitted to Lin Xia's sea of consciousness without reservation.
Is this a weapon spirit? It seems this spirit sword has successfully given birth to a weapon spirit.
Feeling Lin Xia's joy and happiness, the spirit of the weapon also gave Lin Xia the same feeling in return. This feeling of mutual understanding made Lin Xia feel comfortable all over.
Unlike the weapon spirit in Suona Xuanyin, this is the weapon spirit that Lin Xia gave birth to herself. It is equivalent to Lin Xia’s own child, not to mention that it is her natal spirit sword, which is of extraordinary significance to Lin Xia.
Lin Xia named his natal spirit sword the Star Sword. The spirit in the sword liked the name very much and happily flew around Lin Xia several times before returning to Lin Xia's sea of consciousness.
The intelligence of the newly born spirit of the weapon is not very high, but it will become smarter and smarter as it is nurtured in Lin Xia's sea of consciousness for a longer time.
