151: Longevity Peach Tree

Baiqi Business Firm, second floor.

The [Gathering Fire Array] was operating, and the temperature in the quiet room continued to rise.

Coupled with the high temperature emanating from the candle rock cauldron itself, Lin Xuanbo’s face was somewhat pale, and large drops of sweat trickled down.

Lin Xuanbo was originally a Cultivator who primarily cultivated the Wood Spiritual Root, and he was naturally restrained by this spiritual fire and high temperature.

But he still persevered, wanting to witness the process of refining a Lifebound Treasure.

Although Lin Yongmao did not personally feel the high temperature flames, he couldn’t help but be secretly astonished.

Who said Artifact Refiners and Alchemists were not good at fighting? The flames they controlled could exert immense power in combat.

Compared to his own [Nanming Li Fire], this flame was still a bit lacking.

Lin Xuanbo used his Divine Sense to clearly observe the changes in the two types of spiritual bamboo within the candle rock cauldron.

All the spiritual bamboo was melted by the high temperature.

Unlike ordinary processing, Artifact Refining required melting all the Materials before shaping them.

This process lasted for an entire day, as the high-temperature flames melted all the spiritual bamboo into liquid.

Ye Zhiyi did not forget to explain, “The flames I use for Artifact Refining are the spiritual fire from the Gathering Fire Array, my own Dantian fire, and the flame from the candle rock cauldron itself.

Only with these three combined can these spiritual bamboos be completely melted.”

Thus, the first stage was completed.

Two pools of liquid, emanating Spiritual Qi, floated in mid-air: one was bluish-green, and the other was purplish-black.

The second stage was shaping, to mold these two pools of liquid into a stable Flying Sword form.

Flying Swords could be said to be the most common Magical Artifacts in the Cultivation Realm, and also the most practical.

Many Sword Cultivators skilled in using Flying Swords used them as their Lifebound Treasures.

However, Flying Swords also varied in strength.

And this strength was most clearly reflected in the Materials used to refine the Flying Sword.

This process was originally very smooth, but Ye Zhiyi encountered a problem: the liquids refined from the qingling bamboo and Nether Spirit Bamboo were difficult to fuse.

Ye Zhiyi’s forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat.

He tried hard to use his Mental Energy to control the Fusion of the two liquids, but they repelled each other after only a short time of combining.

Even when they were finally gathered together, they remained distinctly separate.

Ye Zhiyi glanced at Lin Xuanbo beside him, trying his best to control his awkward expression, and said, “Fellow Daoist, my abilities are limited.

I’m afraid this dual-attribute Flying Sword cannot be refined.

Now there are two options; would you like to hear them?”

Ye Zhiyi did not want this Lifebound Treasure refinement to fail, as it would ruin his reputation.

Lin Xuanbo also showed a worried expression and quickly said, “Tell me quickly!”

“Option one is to refine them into two Flying Swords.

However, Golden Core Cultivators can only refine one Lifebound Treasure, so Fellow Daoist would have to make a choice.”

“Option two is to find another Cultivator with strong Divine Sense to follow my instructions and forcefully fuse these two spiritual bamboo liquids.

It’s just that…”

Ye Zhiyi was about to say that it was simply too difficult to find such a person, especially in such a short time.

Lin Xuanbo directly said, “Let me try!”

“Ah?”

Ye Zhiyi’s expression froze; he hadn’t fully processed it.

He himself was at the Early Stage of Golden Core, and the Cultivator in front of him was also at the Early Stage of Golden Core.

Was there any difference?

But Lin Xuanbo had already started, so he could only begin to direct him.

Anyway, this was his Lifebound Treasure, and if something went wrong, it wouldn’t be his fault.

Under Ye Zhiyi’s guidance, Lin Xuanbo’s Divine Sense surged out of his body like a tide, controlling the Fusion of the two liquid masses.

Time passed quickly, and Ye Zhiyi became increasingly astonished.

Their Cultivation Realms were the same, but the disparity in their Divine Sense Realms was so great.

Conservatively estimated, Lin Xuanbo’s Divine Sense Realm had already reached the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Lin Xuanbo controlled the Fusion of the two liquids, and his Divine Sense was almost exhausted during the process.

However, during this process, he held a piece of thousand-year cloud mist tea in his mouth, and his state recovered.

Ye Zhiyi also saw this scene and couldn’t help but become more curious about Lin Xuanbo’s identity.

Who exactly was this person, to use a thousand-year spiritual plant so casually without any hesitation?

“Is it almost done?”

Lin Xuanbo asked Ye Zhiyi while examining the sword embryo that had finished fusing.

“It’s done!”

Ye Zhiyi said, “Now you only need to fuse your vital essence into this sword embryo, and your Lifebound Treasure will be initially complete.

Afterward, you just need to continuously nurture it within your Dantian.”

Lin Xuanbo quickly complied, biting his finger.

A drop of vital essence flew out and merged into the sword embryo, which completely absorbed the vital essence.

The sword body glowed with spiritual light, a strange bluish-purple hue.

This Flying Sword seemed capable of transforming its form, either bluish-green or purplish-black.

Lin Xuanbo had already sensed that a connection had been established between himself and this Flying Sword, and it could be stored in his Dantian at any time.

“Lifebound Treasure, successfully refined! Many thanks, Great Master Ye!”

Ye Zhiyi was also very happy.

He said, “If not for Fellow Daoist’s extraordinary Divine Sense, this Lifebound Treasure refinement would probably not have been so smooth.

Congratulations.”

He then thought for a moment and said, “Fellow Daoist, this Flying Sword doesn’t have a name yet.

You should give it one!”

“Let its name be ‘Qingming’!”

[Lifebound Treasure · Qingming Sword]

“‘Qingming’, a good name!” Ye Zhiyi murmured the name.

...

The Golden Crow broke the dawn.

Ever since the mica mine and the blazing sun pearls appeared, the visibility at Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff was exceptionally clear.

Both the sunrise and sunset could be seen very distinctly.

Lin Yongmao woke up early to watch the red sun rise, while also activating today’s sign-in.

Today was a double critical strike moment, which filled Lin Yongmao with anticipation.

“Sign-in successful! Congratulations on obtaining [longevity peach tree] x 1.”

When Lin Yongmao heard the words “longevity”, he immediately jumped up in joy.

Moon Toad Rabbit Black Slave was still in his arms, inwardly complaining furiously:

I really don’t understand this guy; every morning he likes to hold me in his arms and then occasionally grin foolishly.

The System panel and the lottery process were invisible to the Moon Toad Rabbit, so it could only interpret Lin Yongmao’s behavior as him being mentally unstable every morning.

Lin Yongmao didn’t care about the Moon Toad Rabbit’s thoughts.

He quickly materialized the [longevity peach tree].

Within a glowing transparent small ball, there was a peach tree seedling over one meter tall, looking no different from an ordinary peach tree.

[longevity peach tree]:
