Chapter 198:
Chapter 198 – Dormant
“Feats found, do we spend 10,000 taels of silver to simplify the Yum Sword Technique?”
“Yum Sword Technique simplification in progress…simplification successful…Yum Sword Technique → Beat Iron!”
The result of the panel’s simplification was somewhat out of Chen Fei’s expectation, the Embracing Sword Technique was to warm up the sword blade, not to change it from nothing. This simplification result was more or less skewed.
However, the panel simplification was always unexpected, and Chen Fei was more or less used to it.
And this matter of making iron, if the speed was fast enough, Chen Fei might spend a day’s time to brush up the proficiency of the Sword Embracing Technique.
Chen Fei instructed the handyman to buy a fine iron casting hammer, casually took a piece of pig iron, and began to pound it.
Chen Fei didn’t know how to cast blades, but it didn’t affect Chen Fei’s ability to hammer the pig iron one by one. It is not to forge the pig iron into any kind of shape, it is more of a sound.
Because with the sound of the hammering, Chen Fei’s mind began to pop up with all sorts of insights about the Embodied Sword Technique, Chen Fei absorbed the insights while speeding up the frequency of the hammering.
The courtyard where Chen Fei was located soon resounded with the intensive sound of iron beating, and even the sound of iron beating began to become rhythmic and rhythmic at the back.
The handyman stood at the doorway, listening to the sounds coming from the courtyard with a confused look on his face.
When Chen Fei asked him to buy a hammer, the handyman was a bit strange, and now listening to the sound of Chen Fei striving to beat iron, the handyman was even more skeptical.
Chen Fei’s matter of picking nine with one a few days ago, the handyman had known about it for a long time, and in his heart, he admired Chen Fei very much. But what was the matter with this penchant for iron beating?
Could it be that Chen Fei possessed such strong strength because of this strange preference?
The sound of iron beating went from noon to sunset, and from sunset to midnight, the sound almost didn’t stop until the sun rose the next day, when the sound of iron beating finally stopped.
“Molding the sword with strength and forging the spirit with the spirit, amongst this Yum Sword Technique is a different approach.”
After spending a day and a night brushing his proficiency in the Embracing Sword Technique to great perfection, Chen Fei also finally understood the subtleties of this dharma.
Not closing his eyes for a night was not a big deal for the Chen Fei of today.
Packing up his winnings as well as the spirit materials hidden in the space compartment, Chen Fei left the compound and headed to the Treasure Pavilion.
The Yuan Chen Sword Sect’s Treasure Pavilion, not only could one use the contribution value to exchange for various treasures, but one could also use the contribution value to ask the smiths within the Treasure Pavilion to create a sword blade for oneself.
Chen Fei needed to take the spirit materials in his hands and initially build them into a longsword, followed by the matter of the Inherent Sword Technique.
The Sword Embracing Technique was only responsible for warming the sword blade, but of course, if Chen Fei’s cultivation level had reached the Orifice Practicing Realm, he could also use his Yuan Power to fuse all the spiritual materials together directly, which would save even more time and effort.
The Treasure Pavilion was bustling with activity, and this was the first time Chen Fei had come here.
Chen Fei used his identity as a true disciple to meet the craftsman within the Treasure Pavilion, Ouyang Jie.
Ouyang Jie was an extremely renowned smith within the Treasure Pavilion, and the rough embryo of Feng Xiupu’s Biling Sword was forged by Ouyang Jie back in the day, and then after being warmed up by Feng Xiupu himself, it eventually became a spirit sword.
With such a skillful blacksmith, Chen Fei naturally looked for him directly.
“Yum Sword Skill?”
Ouyang Jie, with a full beard, looked through the spirit materials that Chen Fei had handed over and looked up at Chen Fei.
“Yes, please, Master Ouyang, help me fuse these spirit materials into sword blades.”
Chen Fei nodded with a respectful expression. For people with real skills, Chen Fei’s attitude had always been humble, this was a sign of respect for others, as well as a sign of respect for this skill.
“There are quite a few things, casting a top-grade sword embryo is not much of a problem. But there is still a little something missing amongst them, when the time comes, it will be directly deducted from your contribution value, is that possible?” Ouyang nodded and said.
“Can! I wonder how long it will take to cast the sword embryo?”
Chen Fei nodded his head, this was the proper intention, but Chen Fei was more concerned about the time needed for casting.
“The sword embryo is just a sword embryo, and you have prepared the spirit materials sufficiently, just come over tomorrow.” Ouyang Jie estimated and gave a time.
The sword embryo wasn’t a spiritual weapon, it wasn’t even a semi-spiritual weapon, it was just for melting various spiritual materials and preparing for the warming up afterwards.
Thus, when it was said to be complicated, it was naturally very complicated, and it was unknown to those who were not within the sect.
But to say it was simple, it was actually simple, for a sword casting master like Ouyang Jie, as long as it wasn’t to create a spirit weapon, everything else was simple.
“Good!”
Chen Fei nodded and turned to leave.
Simply asking Ouyang Jie to make a move would require 5,000 contribution value, and this was still the status of a true disciple that granted some concessions and convenience.
Otherwise, if other people wanted to invite Ouyang Jie, not only would it be more expensive, but there might not even be a place for you.
Chen Fei returned to the True Transmission Peak compound and sat cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard.
The sword embryo can start to warm up tomorrow, according to the Sword Embryo Technique, if you want to warm up a sword embryo into a semi-spiritual weapon, even if it’s a top-grade sword embryo, you need a hundred days to start.
If you want to shorten the time, you can either take other spiritual materials, such as frozen spring water, and soak the sword embryo in it from time to time. Either that, or one’s cultivation of the Sword Embedding Technique is so advanced that one can better mobilize one’s own internal energy and mind power and inject it into the sword embryo. Chen Fei had both, perhaps in a month’s time, he would be able to have his first half-spirit sword.
Casting one’s own Spirit Sword was a patient thing that was worn by water. Chen Fei was sitting in meditation at the moment, thinking more about the matter of the Martial Family’s Yuan Spirit Pool.
Having obtained a day’s use of the Yuan Spirit Pool from Qian Guangji, Chen Fei naturally wanted to maximize the effect of this.
Within the Martial Family Yuan Spirit Pool, although it was not liquefied Yuan Qi, it was also very easy for martial artists to absorb and refine it into internal energy cultivation.
If an average Viscera Realm martial artist went in, it would not be a big problem to raise their Viscera Realm cultivation progress bar by one or two percent. In other words, someone like Chen Fei, who was new to the Viscera Realm, could go in and cultivate for a day and completely stabilize the early stage of the Viscera Realm.
This effect was already more exaggerated than even a single Vermilion Fruit in the first place.
However, from what Chen Fei had inquired about, the Yuan Spirit Pool was usually opened for a day or two and then closed for a few months so that the energy in it could be restored.
Because of this, the Wu Family’s Yuan Spirit Pool was rarely open to outsiders, and was exclusively supplied to the Wu Family’s own sons and daughters for cultivation.
With such a Yuan Spirit Pool, although the Wu Family could not be said to be the number one family of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, it could definitely be ranked among the top five. There had always been an endless stream of strong practitioners at the Orifice Realm, and there hadn’t been any breaks.
“Inside the Yuan Spirit Pool, it should be a kind of Yuan Qi that has been tempered and is easier to absorb, but the effect is also much worse than Yuan Qi, and I heard that the Yuan Spirit Pool is entered at most once a year.”
Chen Fei’s gaze pondered, the energy of this Yuan Spirit Pool was estimated to be extremely burdensome to the body. True Yuan Qi did not have such drawbacks, at least Chen Fei had absorbed it so many times with the Nayuan Bead, and there was nothing strange about his body.
“My mind power can already touch Yuan Qi, although it is difficult to move it around. The energy within that Yuan Spirit Pool can be directly absorbed by a martial artist, then with my mind power, I may be able to directly gather it together!”
Chen Fei sensed the mind power in the center of his sea of consciousness, which was like a flourishing tree, a small smile appeared on his face, when the time came, he could give it a try.
If it was successful, Chen Fei would not say that he would glean the Martial Family Yuan Spirit Pool, but at least he would be able to absorb a lot more energy, allowing his internal energy cultivation to grow rapidly.
A day passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Fei appeared inside the Treasure Pavilion and met Ouyang Jie.
“Coming? The sword embryo is over here, come over.”
Ouyang Jie was not surprised to see Chen Fei, all the disciples who had approached him to cast their sword embryos had appeared at the first agreed upon time, wanting to see what a semi-spiritual sword, or even a spiritual sword, would look like in their future hands.
Chen Fei arched his hand, then followed behind Ouyang Jie to a sword casting room.
The temperature here was obviously a whole lot higher than the outside world, Chen Fei looked around, the spirit materials that were rare to see in other places were everywhere in the sword casting room at the moment.
Although all of them were just a few edges and corners, when collected, they were also a staggering amount of wealth. But at the moment, these were all casually thrown in various corners, covered in dust.
“Take a look, full or not. If there are any requests, you can also put them forward now, there’s still time for revisions.”
Leading Chen Fei to the center of the sword casting room, a long sword was currently lying quietly in a pool of clear water. The waves of the water were vibrating slightly, as if there was a force that lay dormant beneath the surface.
Chen Fei reached out his hand, and in the next moment, the longsword leapt up from beneath the surface of the water and jumped into the center of Chen Fei’s palm.
A sharp intent instantly filled the air, and the first to bear the brunt was Chen Fei.
“Buzz!”
Chen Fei’s mind power suddenly swung open, completely wrapping the longsword in accordance with the Embracing Sword Technique’s method. In just the blink of an eye, the sharpness that had swept across the surroundings just a moment ago was completely restrained at this moment.
Ouyang Jie looked at Chen Fei with some surprise, this hand of the Inherent Sword Technique was quite beautiful.
Just now in the blink of an eye, although it could not be seen truly, Chen Fei’s attainment of this Inherent Sword Skill could definitely be ranked in the top few or even higher amongst the people Ouyang Jie had seen.
“I like this sword very much, thank you Master Ouyang!” Chen Fei put the longsword away and arched his hand at Ouyang Jie.
“You paid the contribution value, I forged it, I should.” Ouyang Jie waved his hand, not taking credit.
The two of them chatted for a few moments before Chen Fei excused himself and left.
Holding the sword embryo, Chen Fei returned to the middle of the True Transmission compound before he began to carefully view the sword blade in his hand.
It was said to be a sword embryo, but it could actually be used for combat, and both the sharpness and toughness were far superior to ordinary fine iron swords.
However, if you really take it to battle, if damage occurs, it will be very troublesome to repair, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the next warming, and it will be very easy for the warming to fail, and it won’t be able to advance into the semi-spiritual weapon.
“I’ll call you Qian Yuan Sword from now on!”
Chen Fei’s left hand brushed over the sword, and the sword trembled slightly, Chen Fei’s face could not help but reveal a smile.
The Embracing Sword Technique was in operation, and Chen Fei’s internal energy and mind power wrapped around the Qian Yuan Sword in an extremely peculiar manner. Chen Fei took out a special scabbard and placed the Qian Yuan Sword within it, then placed it within the frozen spring water.
Next, as long as he operated the Inherent Sword Technique once a day, it would be enough for the Qian Yuan Sword to grow.
For the rest of the time, Chen Fei did not go anywhere else, but stayed in the compound, refining, cultivating, and warming the Qian Yuan Sword.
Time passed in an instant, the sword blade had yet to be promoted to a semi-spiritual artifact, and at the thirty-seventh day, the gongfu Chen Fei cultivated, the Heavy Yuan Sword, did break through first.
