"Cough cough..."
"It's finally going to be done..."
While the family cultivators were still wondering what kind of treasure their master was refining, the thirty-six streams of bluish-purple lightning liquid floating inside the cave had completely merged with the spiritual materials such as the Thunder Soul Crystal.
Upon closer inspection, the flowing cyan-purple lightning was actually mixed with traces of blood, which were gradually merging into it.
Essence and blood.
This is an indispensable step in refining a natal magic weapon. Since Zhang Lingyu's natal magic weapon is a set of flying swords, the amount of essence and blood consumed is many times that of an ordinary natal magic weapon.
Fortunately, the most difficult step has been completed, so this loss is insignificant.
Zhang Lingyu's face was pale, and he had lost a lot of weight in the years he had been refining magic weapons. Only when he saw his essence blood slowly merging into the lightning liquid did he feel at ease taking out the pill to consume.
Seven days later, after the essence and blood have been completely integrated, the penultimate process begins.
Shaping!
"Let's begin!" Zhang Lingyu had recovered most of her strength and was able to handle the minor issues that followed. The next moment, she mobilized all her divine sense without hesitation.
Under the guidance and compression of divine sense, the thirty-six streams of cyan-purple lightning liquid were instantly shaped into long swords, and their shapes were almost identical to the Xuan Ting Flying Sword.
After this step was completed, the Purple Sun Fire surged out again, and the entire cave was immediately ignited, enveloping the thirty-six flying swords within it.
He closed his eyes slightly; the rest of the time was a long wait.
"It's finally done!"
Another six months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Deep within the cave, the Purple Sun Fire that had been burning for so long finally began to slowly subside, revealing the true form of the artifact that had been tempered for so long within it.
In the firelight, thirty-six bluish-purple flying swords could be clearly seen silently floating there.
These flying swords are all the same length and size, about three feet and one inch long, with thunder patterns painted on both sides, and their whole body emits a bluish-purple luster.
As the flames subsided, fine lightning began to dance through the patterns, initially faint and intermittent.
But once the suppression was lifted, they began to gather and grow stronger, transforming into incredibly agile tiny lightning snakes that leaped back and forth across the sword!
These tiny lightning snakes quickly filled the entire cave and began to recklessly attack the formation. In just a few breaths, the formation began to creak under the strain.
"Quiet!"
Zhang Lingyu shouted, and the lightning in the cave instantly swirled wildly, all of it returning to the flying sword, as if nothing had ever happened.
Thirty-six flying swords hovered silently in the air, their auras subtly connected. He reached out and beckoned, and the foremost sword immediately fell into his palm.
After stroking the blade for a while, he sighed, "It does lean somewhat towards the Wood element."
He was not surprised by this. The main material of this flying sword was Yi Wood Thunder Bamboo, and both the main body and the Yi Wood Spirit Thunder within it were biased towards the Wood element.
The presence of that Xuan Gang Thunderwood further reinforced this tendency.
Overall, however, lightning still dominates.
Zhang Lingyu's choice of Yi Wood Thunder Bamboo as the main body of his magic weapon was also based on his own considerations. Yi Wood Spirit Thunder is not the most domineering among the many types of thunder, but it has one advantage.
To dispel evil and purify.
It has a great restraint against those evil cultivators such as demonic cultivators, ghost cultivators, and ghosts. Now that Zhang Lingyu has his natal magic weapon, he can basically gain the upper hand even against demonic cultivators in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and killing them is not impossible.
Although its power may be slightly less when facing immortal cultivators, thunder is thunder. It is something that all humans and demons in the cultivation world fear, and it naturally has its domineering nature, enough to stir up the deepest fear in people's hearts.
Haven't you noticed that when cultivators or demonic beasts break through tribulations, they almost always face lightning tribulations?
In addition, once this magic weapon is unleashed, not only is its power astonishing, but its ability to entangle is also top-notch.
Besides the fact that the Wood element within it has the intention of endless life, it is also because this set of flying swords is his natal magic weapon, connected to his mind and spirit. During combat, a single thought can drive it to make various changes, with minimal consumption of spiritual energy.
Furthermore, this is just a common application in combat; if combined with sword techniques, its power might be even greater.
Speaking of this, Zhang Lingyu has not forgotten the "Azure Lotus Sword Manual" from back then.
The Sword Manual was created by True Lord Qinglian and is a rare sword technique that allows flying swords to form a sword array.
The Azure Lotus Sword Manual in his hand only contains the sword formation composed of thirty-six flying swords; the remaining seventy-two and one hundred and eight swords are still in the hands of the Azure Lotus Sect in Central Continent.
Currently, thirty-six flying swords are aimed at the second stage of the sword formation.
I really want to try it right now!
Zhang Lingyu overcame many difficulties by relying on the sword formation composed of six flying swords from the "Azure Lotus Sword Manual". Now that all thirty-six flying swords are magical treasures, he really wants to test the power of the sword formation.
Although the magic weapon was newly formed and could be used immediately, Zhang Lingyu did not want any accidents to happen, so he reached out and sent the thirty-six flying swords into his dantian to be nurtured.
The so-called nurturing is to strengthen the connection between the magic weapon and its master. The closer the connection, the greater the master's control over the magic weapon, and the stronger its power. In battle, it will be less likely to be taken away by others.
Especially for natal magic treasures, as the master's realm increases, their grade and power will also increase. However, to break through to a higher level, it is necessary to find other spiritual materials for further refinement.
Having discussed the advantages, there are also disadvantages. If the natal magic weapon is damaged for any reason, Zhang Lingyu, as its master, will also be injured.
If it is destroyed, at best it will cause serious injury, and at worst it will cause a drop in cultivation level.
Therefore, when cultivators refine their natal magic treasures, they not only pursue power, but also consider its toughness. The Qian Tian Lei Jing is an example of this.
"I can't believe four years have already passed." Having done everything, Zhang Lingyu slowly stood up, did some mental calculations, and thought to himself.
The time spent was actually about the same as initially estimated, after all, crafting a natal magic weapon is a slow and meticulous process.
Moreover, crafting a complete set of magical artifacts is extremely difficult, requiring immense patience. It would take an ordinary cultivator at least five years, and the risk of failure is terrifyingly high.
Zhang Lingyu was able to refine it so quickly thanks to his own powerful magic and strong divine sense.
After the last trace of the Purple Sun Fire in the cave had dissipated and he had tidied up the messy cave, he was about to open the cave door to go outside and breathe some fresh air when he suddenly stopped and froze on the spot.
It seems I haven't named my natal magic weapon yet...
Once the magic weapon is created, being nameless is like a person without a soul; it ultimately lacks the most crucial element: "true meaning" and belonging.
He turned his gaze to the thirty-six flying swords in his dantian, pondered for a moment, and thought to himself, "From now on, I'll call you the Xuan Yi Ming Xiao Sword."
