127: This gun is weird.

Just as the two masters left, Li Tian Ce and Huo Tianyi walked over before Chu Mo could return to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion.

The two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders, chatting and laughing, their relationship as close as brothers.

"Tianyi! Your brother here follows the Body Refining Dao, relying on a single force to break all methods. In terms of offensive techniques, I inevitably have some shortcomings. In terms of weapons, you should supplement me and make my attacks more diverse."

"Brother Li, you jest. With our relationship, there's no need to say such things. Once the next batch of Materials arrives, I will use the best Materials to forge you a Profound Soul Tremor Spear. While attacking the Physical Body, it can also deter the mind, ensuring your attacks are no longer singular."

Huo Tianyi patted his chest, assuring Li Tian Ce that he would forge him a long spear with diverse functionalities.

It had been a long time since he refined Magic Treasures.

His forging technique, while not incredibly impressive, was certainly capable of crafting a suitable long spear.

The sunlight in front dimmed for a moment, then brightened again.

The two turned their heads, looking forward.

Chu Mo had appeared before them at some unknown point.

Huo Tianyi was about to speak, but Chu Mo preempted him: "Artifact Refining isn't done like that!"

The two were stunned.

What did he mean? What kind of Artifact Refining wasn't done like that?

Before they could figure out the meaning behind Chu Mo's words, Chu Mo's right hand slid across his storage ring, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

"This is..."

The two's attention was drawn to the long spear.

The spear's appearance was no different from an ordinary pear blossom spear, incredibly simple and unadorned, but if one looked closely, they would find countless runes engraved on the spear body.

These runes interconnected, forming their own system, incredibly profound.

It was well known that items made by Chu Mo might not always be the best in effect, but they were definitely the most insidious.

The two concentrated, trying to discern any peculiarities about this long spear.

Before they could figure anything out.

Chu Mo's voice sounded again.

"Do you know what it means for a speck of cold light to arrive first, followed by the spear striking like a Dragon?"

"What?!"

The two were simultaneously stunned.

Chu Mo's voice sounded again.

"The Dao of Artifact Refining is vast and profound, and an Artifact Refiner's mindset can imbue artifacts with unimaginable effects. Tianyi, I've taught you so much before, but you're always influenced by conventional thinking. Therefore, I've decided to take this opportunity to give you a good lesson and also start the next phase of the curriculum."

"Rune Dao, Formation Dao, and Alchemy Dao!"

Huo Tianyi's talent was undeniable; in just a few months, he had entered the realm of Artifact Refining.

However, because he had been the 'neighbor's child' since childhood, his thinking was somewhat rigid, and he always preferred to follow the rules in Artifact Refining, being overly stiff.

Today, he would use this opportunity.

To open Huo Tianyi's eyes.

"Junior Brother Han, I walk the Dao of the Sword. Won't learning so many subjects be a waste of effort?" Huo Tianyi said with some difficulty.

Now, he had regained his Sword Heart and was confident of going further and higher in the Dao of the Sword, but learning other schools of thought might hinder his cultivation in the Dao of the Sword.

Chu Mo was unconcerned by this.

"When you only cultivated the Dao of the Sword, I didn't see you defeat a Disciple of the Shen Jian Sect."

Pfft!

Huo Tianyi felt a sword pierce his heart.

"Now, teaching you Artifact Refining, hasn't it helped you regain your Sword Heart? You're no longer limited to a single wooden sword, your horizons have broadened, indirectly achieving your Dao of the Sword, and you're still complaining that refining Magic Treasures wastes your time."

Pfft!

Another sword pierced his heart, and Huo Tianyi's face turned red at a visible speed.

But then again, after painstakingly forging Magic Treasures, he didn't get a single one himself. Anyone would feel embarrassed.

Chu Mo continued: "Don't think that the subsequent Alchemy Dao, Rune Dao, and Formation Dao are useless."

"Alchemy Dao can ensure your endurance, and some special Medicinal Pills can even enhance your combat power."

"Rune Dao has many functions. Among them, Sword Talismans, which store Sword Qi, can also be considered an alternative Dao of the Sword!"

"As for Formation Dao, its effects are even greater. Sword formations, whether using sword-type Magic Treasures or Sword Talismans, can be used to set up Sword formations. Dare you say it's not helpful to your Dao of the Sword?"

"Pay-to-win Sword Immortal! Is also a Sword Immortal!"

"Do you understand?"

Chu Mo's words were like thunder in his ears.

At this moment, Huo Tianyi felt he had a new understanding of the Dao of the Sword.

At this moment, Li Tian Ce's voice sounded again: "That... that long spear, can it be given to me?"

"Yes, it was specifically made for you." Chu Mo nodded, throwing the long spear and a Jade Slip to Li Tian Ce. "The Jade Slip is the instruction manual. Read it carefully before using the weapon, lest you don't know how to use it."

Looking at the long spear in his hand and then at the Jade Slip, Li Tian Ce's expression was a bit strange.

"It's just a weapon, does it need an instruction manual? Forget the instruction manual, and it's even on a Jade Slip?"

"If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, but as for the consequences, I hope you can bear them. After all, you're going to fight Tianyi later, to let him see how creative the Magic Treasure I refined is." Chu Mo's voice drifted over leisurely.

Hearing this, Li Tian Ce secretly thought: No, I still need to play it safe. Who knows how much of his own 'creativity' Chu Ge added when refining this spear.

A moment later, Li Tian Ce moved the Jade Slip from his forehead, his expression somewhat strange.

This spear was very sinister!

"Do I really have to fight Tianyi?" Li Tian Ce confirmed with Chu Mo. Even if Huo Tianyi was utterly evil, he didn't deserve this, right?!

Chu Mo waved his hand, "If I don't let him see the vastness and profoundness of the Dao of Artifact Refining, how can he innovate?"

"Alright... alright then!"

Li Tian Ce turned to look at Huo Tianyi, gritted his teeth, unleashed all his inner Qi, and reminded him: "Tianyi! This isn't me wanting to torment you, it's just that..."

"Cough cough."

Before Li Tian Ce could shift the blame, Chu Mo's coughing sound came from not far away. Helplessly, he had to shut up.

"Brother Li, you are currently only at the Golden Core stage of Martial Dao. You are the one who should be careful."

Although he said that, Huo Tianyi dared not be careless in the slightest. In the days he had spent with Li Tian Ce, he knew that the other party was not simple.

Even if he was not as strong as him in terms of raw power, the other party was still very strong in other areas, such as the Nine Dragon Seal.

Once activated, an ordinary Nascent Soul would simply not be an opponent, and one might even die if careless.

His storage ring flashed with light, and countless bamboo swords floated out, surrounding him, emanating sharp Sword Qi.

Upon seeing the bamboo swords surrounding Huo Tianyi, Chu Mo's expression became somewhat interesting.

"Good heavens, you secretly made so many bamboo swords. It seems my bamboo forest has been greatly affected by you. However... your Sword Qi is indeed sharp, chaotic but not disorderly, and the Sword Intent attached to these bamboo swords also reveals vitality. It seems you have recovered your Sword Heart. In that case, there's no need to hold back!"

"Come, let me show you the difference between the weapons I refine and the ones you refine."

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Take this!"

"A speck of cold light arrives first, followed by the spear striking like a Dragon!"

Li Tian Ce launched the first attack, the long spear cutting through the air, fiercely thrusting towards Huo Tianyi opposite him.

"Good!"

Huo Tianyi formed a hand seal, activating the bamboo swords imbued with his Sword Intent, charging forward in a torrent of ten thousand swords.

But at that very instant, an intensely bright light erupted from the spear body, like a hundred thousand flashlights exploding simultaneously in front of them.
