Three months quickly passed.
That evening, Song Wen arrived at Myriad Treasures Pavilion as scheduled, where he met Wei Zhengzhi and Tian Zhou.
"Greetings, Senior Wei, greetings, Daoist Tian."
"Daoist Wu, please have a seat." Tian Zhou greeted warmly and led Song Wen to a seat.
"Little friend Wu, the magic weapon has been refined." Wei Zhengzhi said.
Without any visible movement, a curved blade, about a foot long and without a handle, appeared out of thin air in front of him.
The blade slowly flew toward Song Wen.
Song Wen raised his hand to catch the curved blade.
As soon as the blade was in his hand, Song Wen felt an intense coldness.
Although he had not activated it yet, he could still clearly sense the sharp edge emanating from the blade, which seemed capable of cutting through anything in its path.
Song Wen pinched the blade between his fingers and made a light slash in the air.
A dazzling cold light cut through the air.
Where the sharp edge passed, the air seemed to split in two, emitting a hissing sound as if crying in pain.
"A fine blade!"
Song Wen's eyes shone brightly as he couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing the magic weapon he had crafted receive such praise, Wei Zhengzhi also smiled proudly.
"I'm glad you are satisfied, little friend."
Wei Zhengzhi's face showed a barely concealed sense of pride, and he continued explaining.
"When I crafted this blade, I specially integrated some Heavenly Fire Stones. This not only makes it incredibly sharp but also allows it to hold spiritual flames within. Just refine the blade, place it in your dantian, and nourish it with spiritual flames day and night. In time, the blade will naturally imbue itself with a hint of spiritual flame."
Song Wen put away the curved blade and clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Senior Wei."
He then took out a storage pouch and handed it over.
Inside the pouch were a Fire Gangwood, fifty high-grade spirit stones, and the golden token used as proof of the transaction.
After inspecting the contents of the pouch, Wei Zhengzhi smiled with satisfaction.
"Little friend, if you ever need more magic weapons refined in the future, remember to come to Myriad Treasures Pavilion and find me. I promise to give you a special discount."
After a brief conversation, Song Wen stood up and took his leave.
Once Song Wen's figure disappeared from sight, Tian Zhou's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
"Master Wei, should we send someone to follow this young man and take the magic weapon from him?"
Wei Zhengzhi responded, "It would be easy to deal with this young man, but the Nascent Soul master behind him is quite mysterious. The Fire Gangwood is already in hand, so it's best not to stir up any unnecessary trouble and attract enemies."
Song Wen left Myriad Treasures Pavilion and, pretending to be unaware, wandered around the black market.
He kept a cautious eye on his surroundings, observing the movements behind him.
To his surprise, he didn't detect anyone following him.
Still not fully at ease, Song Wen, after leaving the black market, traveled more than a thousand miles through the dense forest, confirming multiple times that he wasn't being followed. Only then did he return to his cave outside Fang City.
After entering the cave, Song Wen took out the short blade.
He examined it for a moment before murmuring to himself.
"I'll call you 'Void Breaking Blade' from now on."
He sat down cross-legged, activating the magic power in his body to refine the short blade.
As a mid-grade magic weapon, refining the Void Breaking Blade was incredibly time-consuming. It took over two months before Song Wen had completely refined the weapon.
Late at night.
Star Point Lake.
Song Wen's solitary figure appeared by the lake.
He had traveled a long distance just to test the power of the Void Breaking Blade.
This place was devoid of spiritual energy and rarely visited, making it the perfect place to activate the Void Breaking Blade without drawing attention.
Song Wen opened his mouth and exhaled, sending the Void Breaking Blade flying out.
With a thought, the blade's cold light erupted.
The sharp qi gathered into a bundle, and as it breathed in and out, it seemed capable of cutting through anything in its path.
The Void Breaking Blade flew out, and its cold light sliced through the water's surface.
The calm lake was torn apart like fabric, revealing the deep lakebed below.
The water churned, and waves splashed in all directions.
The entire lake trembled from this single strike.
Song Wen summoned the Void Breaking Blade embedded in the lakebed and turned to leave.
That strike had consumed nearly seventy percent of his magical power.
With his cultivation at the early stage of Golden Core, it was still too difficult to use a mid-grade magic weapon. It could only be used as a trump card.
Moreover, the Void Breaking Blade had not yet fused with spiritual flames. If he were to infuse it with the silver firebird's flame, the blade would possess both the Yang power of the Jade Light Flame and the cold Yin aura of the Nether Corpse Fire. Its power and killing potential would surely increase significantly.
TLN: Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse à Nether Corpse Fire.
For the time being, Song Wen dedicated all his efforts to refining the Golden Jade Pill and the Qi Spirit Pill.
He only had the pill formulas at hand, with no one to teach him and no peers to discuss with, so he could only explore and experiment on his own.
After several attempts, Song Wen finally succeeded in refining both pills.
The Golden Jade Pill is a pill used by Golden Core cultivators to increase their cultivation. After refining it, Song Wen took one for himself.
However, the result was unsatisfactory.
The cost and time to refine the Golden Jade Pill were far greater than that of the Blood Qi Pill, but the increase in cultivation was not as effective as the Blood Qi Pill.
Taking the Blood Qi Pill would consume vitality and blood, but the blood of the monsters in the Unordered Sea was cheap. Song Wen only needed to spend a few hundred spirit stones to buy all the blood and soul of a second-tier monster.
Thus, Song Wen decided to sell the Golden Jade Pills to exchange for spirit stones.
As for the Qi Spirit Pills, which were used to restore a cultivator's spiritual sense, Song Wen kept a few for himself and planned to sell the rest.
On the night of the tenth day of the month, Song Wen arrived at the Treasure Conference.
After not finding what he was looking for at the auction or the stalls, Song Wen directly approached Gan Hong.
"Senior Gan, I have a small matter to bother you with."
"Little friend Wu, it's been several months since we last met. You haven't appeared at the Treasure Conference in all that time."
Seeing the warm smile on Gan Hong's face, Song Wen's heart tightened.
Gan Hong knew that he hadn't come to the Treasure Conference in the past few months.
This clearly indicated that every time the Treasure Conference held an event, Gan Hong was actively looking for his presence.
Being targeted by a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, no matter the reason, was not a good situation.
Song Wen smiled and replied, "I've been busy with cultivation lately and haven't had the chance to attend the Treasure Conference."
Gan Hong said, "That's understandable. We cultivators should focus on our cultivation, as our cultivation base is the foundation of everything."
Then, his tone shifted as he continued, "Little friend Wu, what brings you to find me?"
Song Wen flipped his hand and took out two jade bottles.
"Under the instruction of my master, I've come to sell some pills and also wish to purchase some spiritual herbs."
Gan Hong's interest was piqued.
"What kind of pills are they? If they're second or third-tier pills, my price for purchasing is slightly higher than the ones in Fang City and the black market."
"Golden Jade Pills and Qi Spirit Pills. Ten Golden Jade Pills and ten Qi Spirit Pills."
As he spoke, Song Wen handed over the two jade bottles to Gan Hong.
After inspecting the pills, Gan Hong said, "The pills' quality is quite good. I'll offer four hundred spirit stones for each Golden Jade Pill, and eight hundred spirit stones for each Qi Spirit Pill. What do you think of this price?"
