Chapter 809 - 428: Refine Daoist Soldier (Part 2)
"Let’s go!"
Sword Master Feng instantly became invigorated, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of flowing light. Qiu Changming closely followed, and the two almost simultaneously arrived at Sword Burial Peak, meeting Li Mu who was coming out of the peak.
"Elder Li, how did the artifact refining turn out?" Sword Master Feng stepped forward, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and expectation.
Li Mu smiled faintly, raising his hand, revealing a golden longsword and a cyan wind sword. They buzzed with sword hums, as if eager to break free from the constraints of divine thought and exhibit their powerful spirituality.
The golden longsword embodies sharp, forceful sword intent, like a golden lightning bolt ready to slice through the sky at any moment. The cyan wind sword gives an impression of lightness and agility, like a gentle breeze, capable of passing through any obstacle.
"These two swords..." Sword Master Feng’s eyes reflected a hint of shock, he took a deep breath, striving to calm his excitement.
"Sword Master, I have not failed you." Li Mu handed the cyan longsword to Sword Master Feng, indicating, "This is the Tier Seven Dao Sword I refined for you, I call it ’Cyan Kite Sword’."
Sword Master Feng joyfully accepted the Cyan Kite Sword, feeling as light as holding a cloud in his hand. He couldn’t wait to inject spiritual power and immediately refined it.
With a "buzz!" the Cyan Kite Sword received the new owner’s aura, the sword body lightly vibrated, emitting a subtle cyan glow, resonating with Sword Master Feng.
Holding the Cyan Kite Sword, the aura Sword Master Feng exuded surged, seemingly becoming one with the sword, his entire being exuding sharp sword intent. His eyes turned razor-sharp, as if they could pierce through all illusions and directly see the essence.
"This Cyan Kite Sword matches me so well!" Sword Master Feng was ecstatic; it was not only a Tier Seven Dao Sword but also a Divine Weapon with telepathy to him.
Sword Master Feng couldn’t contain his joy, revealing a radiant smile, gently swinging the Cyan Kite Sword. The sword tip sliced through the air, emitting a fierce sword wind capable of cutting through anything.
"Excellent sword, truly an excellent one!" Sword Master Feng sincerely marveled repeatedly, looking at Li Mu with admiration, praising, "Elder Li, your sword refining skills have truly reached unparalleled levels, having you join the sect is indeed a great fortune!"
Seeing Sword Master Feng effortlessly refine the Cyan Kite Sword with a high degree of compatibility, Li Mu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sword Master, as long as you’re satisfied!" Li Mu smiled faintly at Sword Master Feng, bashfully explaining, "The wind element is formless, making refinement quite troublesome; thus, the Cyan Kite Sword is merely a Tier Seven Lower Grade Dao Sword, unlike Sword Master Chen’s Metal Element Dao Sword, which reached Tier Seven Top Grade."
Sword Master Feng swung the Cyan Kite Sword, sensing the agility and strength from the sword body, he laughed, saying, "Elder Li, you’re too modest. While the quality of a Dao Sword is important, even more so is the compatibility with its master. This Cyan Kite Sword communicates with my soul, as if it’s an extension of my arm; this is already the best quality."
Qiu Changming also nodded in agreement, saying, "Sword Master is right, Elder Li, you don’t need to be overly humble. Even though the Cyan Kite Sword is just a Tier Seven Lower Grade Dao Sword, in Sword Master’s hands, it can surely unleash power beyond its grade."
"Elder Qiu, you’d better notify Sword Master Chen to come over and receive his sword," Sword Master Feng smiled faintly, looking at Qiu Changming and indicating.
Qiu Changming nodded in affirmation, and then with a flash of his figure, he transformed into a streak of flowing light and flew away into the distance.
Not long after, Sword Master Chen, under the guidance of Qiu Changming, arrived at Sword Burial Peak. He immediately saw the golden longsword in Li Mu’s hand, his eyes flashed with a hint of amazement.
"Haha! Thank you, Elder Li! With this sword, I can definitely slay the Bu Mie Demon Lord." Sword Master Chen appeared before Li Mu with a hearty laugh, his sword-like eyes fixed intently on the golden longsword.
Li Mu smiled faintly, handing the golden longsword to Sword Master Chen, "Sword Master Chen, this sword is called ’Geng Metal Sword’, mainly refined using Dao Pattern Gold, imbued with the Geng Metal Sword Array. I hope it will lend you strength to vanquish the demons."
Sword Master Chen received the Geng Metal Sword, gathering spiritual power in his hand, instantly refining it.
With a "buzz", the Geng Metal Sword accepted the new owner, its sword body lightly trembled, emitting a clear sword hum, as if cheering.
Sword Master Chen’s eyes revealed deep satisfaction, he gently swung the Geng Metal Sword, its sword light flickering, cold and fierce, a slaughterous aura instantly spread, chilling the heart.
"These are the leftover spiritual materials from the refining process!"
Li Mu hurriedly retrieved the storage ring and returned it to Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen.
"Elder Li, no need to be courteous, consider the leftover materials as compensation for the refinement. I am very delighted with this Dao Sword!" Sword Master Chen was solely focused on the sword, glanced at Li Mu, and bluntly refused.
"That’s right, with the help of this sword, advancing another tier is just a matter of time. Keep those materials for yourself, Elder Li!" Sword Master Feng lovingly held the Cyan Kite Sword, nodding in agreement.
"Elder Li, the Sword Masters have expressed as much, so please keep them! If you lack materials for refining Dao Artifacts, feel free to let me know. I may trouble you again in the future." Qiu Changming followed their persuasion with a sly glint in his eyes, clearly plotting something.
Li Mu successfully refined Tier Seven Dao Swords for Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen. As this news spread, soon a large number of cultivators within the sect commissioned Li Mu to refine Tier Seven Daoist Soldiers. In time, the Contribution Hall would probably earn vast riches.
Li Mu smiled faintly, aware of Qiu Changming’s subtle intentions, yet chose not to expose them, retrieving his storage ring. He humbly nodded with a smile, "Since that’s the case, Mr. Li will oblige. Elder Qiu, rest assured, if there’s any need, feel free to come to me anytime."
"Elder Li, I didn’t manage to acquire complete Cyan Nether Sword Bamboo, but I did gather some Spirit Seeds of Cyan Nether Sword Bamboo for you, see if it’s usable!" Sword Master Chen remembered something and retrieved a jade box from his storage ring, tossing it to Li Mu.
Li Mu accepted the jade box, opened it to see dozens of bright green, needle-like seeds neatly arranged inside, feeling the vigorous vitality contained within the seeds, his eyes brightened.
Li Mu looked at Sword Master Chen, nodding in satisfaction, "The Spirit Seeds of Cyan Nether Sword Bamboo are of excellent quality; thank you for your efforts!"
Sword Master Chen laughed heartily, "Elder Li, you are too courteous. A promise is a promise, I’ll definitely fulfill it."
Their conversation left Sword Master Feng somewhat uneasy. He awkwardly said to Li Mu, apologizing, "Elder Li, the Space-Time Spirit Lotus grows in a particularly unique place, I’ve searched for months without results; please give me more time, I will definitely find it for you."
"Sword Master, finding such High-tier Spiritual Objects depends on fate, this matter is not urgent." Li Mu smiled faintly, calmly said.
"That’s indeed the case. At present, the Bu Mie Demon Lord is forming arrays in the Nether Water Sea Region on a grand scale; now that Sword Masters have Daoist Soldiers to aid them, they should unite and swiftly eradicate those demon cultivators!" Qiu Changming nodded, looking at Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen, indicating.
"Elder Qiu is correct, we should definitely act swiftly." Sword Master Feng said solemnly, "The Bu Mie Demon Lord is forming large arrays in the Nether Water Sea Region, intending to break the seal. We must strike a fatal blow before he completes his plan."
Sword Master Chen also nodded in agreement, "Now we have the Geng Metal Sword and Cyan Kite Sword, our strength greatly increased, it’s the perfect time to eradicate them."
The two Sword Masters exuded a strong killing intent, as they refined their Divine Familiar Dao Swords while discussing the upcoming battle.
Seeing this, Li Mu expressed his support to Qiu Changming, "Elder Qiu, if there is a need for refined artifacts, feel free to collect the commissions. I’m willing to provide backup for the sect. To eradicate the Bu Mie Demon Lord, Mr. Li is duty-bound."
The Water Sealed Extreme North is crucial to Li Mu’s future planting plans. Successfully claiming the Land of the Golden Evil Seal filled him with anticipation for the future. If Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen drive the Bu Mie Demon Lord out of the Nether Water Sea Region, then, with his current status, infiltrating the area and occupying a small portion of the Polar Spirit Field shouldn’t be a problem.
"Elder Li, you truly understand the greater good; I represent the sect in expressing gratitude for your support." Qiu Changming listened, his face full of gratitude.
Days later, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen had completely refined the two Dao Swords; their sword intents became sharper, their strength seemingly enhanced. Because of their instructions, the sect’s atmosphere grew increasingly tense, the battle was imminent.
