Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 341 - 340: Refining the Lifebound Flying Sword (Part 2)
Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and simply followed a method of refining a flying sword recorded in the "Primordial True Water Scripture" to forge the flying sword.
This type of flying sword is called the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, a companion to the cultivation technique that Gu Yuan practices.
Once successfully refined, it can directly become his Lifebound Flying Sword, allowing Gu Yuan to wield swordsmanship with a power at least thirty percent greater than other flying swords of the same grade!
Gu Yuan thought about it and decided to use the Silver Flood Dragon Sword as the base, removing most impurities from it. Then, utilizing the remaining essence, he would fuse it with Celestial Spirit Silver Sand and Geng Metal Essence to refine the flying sword.
His master, He Ling True Master, once said that the Silver Flood Dragon was mainly refined using Iron Mother and Essence of Five Metals, with an addition of seven taels of Taiyi Silver Spirit, and tempered with the essence blood of a Silver Flood Dragon.
Other things could be set aside; although Iron Mother and Essence of Five Metals are top-grade spiritual materials and highly coveted by many, Gu Yuan didn’t think much of them.
Instead, the seven taels of Taiyi Silver Spirit, also one of the nine divine metals, had its unique qualities and naturally couldn’t be wasted,
Next, Gu Yuan brought out the Nine-headed Furnace.
This magical treasure was of considerable quality and was perfectly suited for refining flying swords.
Gu Yuan placed it over the Earth Lung Fire Well, using its firepower to assist in refining the flying sword.
Whether it be the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, Celestial Spirit Silver Sand, or Geng Metal Essence, none of these were ordinary items. Even though the true flame within the Nine-headed Furnace was extremely hot, Gu Yuan could not continuously expend his true Qi to maintain it.
Fortunately, there was an Earth Lung Fire Vein beneath this cave mansion, connecting to the depths of the earth’s lungs, allowing for a steady extraction of its firepower, saving Gu Yuan a lot of time and effort.
Gu Yuan pointed with his finger.
BOOM!!!
The intricate patterns on the surface of the Nine-headed Furnace rapidly lit up, and its power was activated by Gu Yuan.
Simultaneously, the Earth Lung Fire Well beneath the Nine-headed Furnace also lit up with a red glow, then waves of heat and even the Earth Lung True Flame were swiftly absorbed by the Nine-headed Furnace and transformed into a mass of deep red true flame.
This mass of true flame not only had a deep color but also seemed to have a special texture, becoming viscous and heavy.
Even though Gu Yuan was outside the pill furnace, he could feel the intensity of the heat emanating from this dark red true flame.
At least, with his current physique, he couldn’t withstand such true flames.
However, this was clearly a beneficial thing for him.
The stronger the heat of the true flames, the more effort he would save when refining the flying sword later.
Many major cultivation sects often establish their bases in places with Earth Lung Fire Veins for the convenience this brings disciples in harnessing the power of heaven and earth.
Gu Yuan decisively threw the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, Celestial Spirit Silver Sand, and Geng Metal Essence all into the Nine-headed Furnace.
He then controlled the mass of dark red true flames within the Nine-headed Furnace to envelop the three items and began to slowly refine them.
The dark red true flame was viscous and scorching, licking the three items and continuously releasing a terrifying temperature.
Refining a flying sword is a labor-intensive and demanding task.
But Gu Yuan was very patient, calmly circulating his true Qi, activating the Nine-headed Furnace, and silently refining the items within the furnace.
Subjected to the licking of the true flames, the spiritual Silver Flood Dragon Sword was the first to resonate with a vibrating sound, as if instinctively wanting to escape.
However, escaping from the Nine-headed Furnace wasn’t easy, and under Gu Yuan’s control, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword could only passively endure the scorching of the true flames.
Time slowly passed.
A day later, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword had gradually calmed down, with signs of melting appearing on its surface.
As for the Celestial Spirit Silver Sand and Geng Metal Essence, they only became brighter in color with no signs of melting.
Gu Yuan was in no rush and continued refining at an even pace.
Three days later, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword had completely melted, turning into a pool of silver liquid metal with a faint red glow.
The Celestial Spirit Silver Sand remained largely unchanged, but it started to redden slightly, and the Iron Mother within it melted away and was cleared out by Gu Yuan.
As for the Geng Metal Essence, it showed some signs of melting.
Gu Yuan immediately formed a seal with his hands, controlling the true flames to temper the pool of silver metal liquid formed from the Silver Flood Dragon Sword.
Under Gu Yuan’s control, the "impurities" in this pool of silver liquid metal began to be cleared away.
As the traces of impurities were removed, the pool of silver metal liquid quickly shrank in volume, but its luster became increasingly bright and dazzling.
Soon, the pool of silver metal liquid was reduced to about the size of a ping-pong ball, containing the essence of the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, with the other "impurities" entirely cleared out by Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was not in a hurry and continued tempering.
By the fifth day, the pool of silver liquid metal had shrunk again, and even the Celestial Spirit Silver Sand and Geng Metal Essence had completely melted, with their impurities also entirely removed by Gu Yuan.
The two divine metals had transformed separately into a mass of silver liquid metal and a mass of golden liquid metal. Only then did Gu Yuan follow the refining method for the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, casting one restriction after another, causing these three masses of metal liquid to begin merging.
Luckily, Gu Yuan borrowed the power of earth fire from the Earth Lung Fire Well; otherwise, even with Gu Yuan’s profound cultivation, far surpassing cultivators of the same level, and even surpassing the cultivation of typical Golden Core Great Cultivators, he wouldn’t be able to sustain such consumption.
With the Earth Lung Fire Well at his disposal, drawing on the power of Earth Lung True Flame, Gu Yuan could save a great deal of effort.
Several days later, a flying sword more agile than the Silver Flood Dragon Sword, shining white all over, emerged inside the Nine-headed Furnace!
Under Gu Yuan’s continuous refinement, this flying sword had solidified into a sword embryo.
As Gu Yuan continued to cast restrictions into it, the sword embryo buzzed and vibrated, undergoing a certain kind of transformation.
Clang——!!!
Time passed slowly, and about half a month later, a ringing sound suddenly came from within the Nine-headed Furnace, like the cry of dragons and tigers. If not for the Nine-headed Furnace blocking eighty percent of the sound, even the restrictions outside Gu Yuan’s cave mansion might not have been able to contain it.
Now, this flying sword was finally successfully refined by Gu Yuan, although it still wasn’t completely refined to perfection!
Gu Yuan pointed a finger, the lid of the Nine-headed Furnace clanged open, and a sword light flew out, landing in front of Gu Yuan.
The size and shape of this flying sword were very similar to the previous Silver Flood Dragon Sword. However, compared to the entirely silver-white, dazzling Silver Flood Dragon Sword, the current flying sword’s blade was as clear as water, like a stream of clear spring flowing.
It lacked the fierce aura of the previous Silver Flood Dragon Sword and was instead filled with a sense of agility.
Upon seeing this sword, Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes; although this flying sword didn’t seem to possess much might, at the moment it emerged from the furnace, he suddenly felt his entire skin tighten, and a shiver-inducing chill spread throughout his body from his spine.
A faint premonition of danger appeared in Gu Yuan’s heart, suggesting that this flying sword posed a far greater threat to him than the previous Silver Flood Dragon Sword!
