Chapter Eighty-Five: The Cultivation is Complete

  Ordinary people, even if they are disciples of the Immortal Sect, when they achieve unity with their spiritual energy, having one flying sword as a magic weapon is already considered not bad. However, at this time, Yi Chu was struggling to decide which one to refine first.

  In his hands, there were four flying swords, a Blood-Breaking Pearl, a damaged Blood-Drinking Banner, a mysterious black gourd, and the Tiger-Shaped Golden Halberd, as well as the Red Sun Jade Pendant. With so many magical instruments and treasures, it was indeed a bit of a headache to decide which one to refine first.

  After a moment of contemplation, Yi Chu took the black gourd in his hand. For Yi Chu, this black gourd was the foundation of his survival. So at the first opportunity, he thought of refining the gourd. According to the method written on Wang Luo's Taoist scripture, Yi Chu sat cross-legged on the ground, and as his true energy circulated, a small blood-colored talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

  As long as the rune is planted in the black gourd, Yi Chu can control it at will. After all, this was Yi Chu's first time refining a magic tool, and although he thought to himself that he should be calm, his hands still shook slightly.

  Smoothly, incredibly smoothly, the easy-to-read runes disappeared silently into the black gourd, and it only took a moment to let Easy Chu complete the sacrifice of the black gourd, which he thought was the most difficult task.

  Wang Luo's Taoist book didn't say that he spent half a day for his first flying sword trial, but I finished it in just one quarter of an hour. Am I the legendary genius? Yi Chu was a bit self-conceited, but he vaguely felt something was off.

  "Start", Yi Chu pointed at the black gourd, and the red runes on his body rotated instantly. However, the black gourd lying on the ground seemed to have no reaction to Yi Chu's spell, still sitting steadily there, motionless.

  "Start", Yi Chu once again concentrated all his attention on this black gourd, wanting to take it down with one move. Unfortunately, the gourd still sat quietly on the ground, not giving Yi Chu any face.

  "Get up", "get up"... "If you don't get up, then sit down", said Yi Chu, who was covered in sweat and exhausted, as he looked at the motionless black gourd. The black gourd, however, did not show any mercy due to Yi Chu's anxiety, and remained silent and still, sitting there.

  Isn't the refinement going too fast, where did it go wrong? After a moment of contemplation, Yi Chu didn't continue to refine the black gourd, but instead adjusted his breath for an hour, raising his spirit and energy to their optimal state once again.

  When the spirit is full, one cannot think of sleep; when the energy is full, one cannot think of food. Having reached a state of harmony with the spiritual realm, he has now basically attained the level of half-emptiness, and going without food for a day is no longer a big deal for him.

  The red runes reappeared in Yichu's hand, and as he carefully approached the black gourd, the red runes once again smoothly imprinted their mark on the black gourd.

  Failure, still failure. After repeated failures in refining the black gourd, Yi Chu could only grit his teeth and give up on his plan to refine it first. He picked up the small gourd from the ground and took out the tiger-shaped golden halberd.

  The majestic tiger-shaped golden halberd, once refined and tempered to perfection, would undoubtedly possess unmatched power, and for Yi Chu, it would be a great help. With the tiger-shaped golden halberd in hand, Yi Chu stretched out his hand, and between breaths, he activated the blood-colored runes.

  A moment passed, and the blood-colored runes did not leave any mark on the tiger-shaped golden spear. Yi Chu couldn't help but feel a surge of wild joy in his heart. He secretly thought to himself that this time was truly heaven-sent, allowing him to achieve success with ease.

  With a thread of joyful heart in his bosom, Yi Chu became more and more cautious. The blood-colored talisman in his hand was held steadily, approaching the tiger-shaped golden spear, hoping to imprint it into the tiger-shaped golden spear bit by bit!

  One incense stick, two incense sticks... half a day... one whole day, such a long time without the slightest change, Yi Chu seemed to have realized something. He once again urged on the blood talisman in his hand, but the golden halberd remained unmoved.

  Yi Chu, who was quite unwilling in his heart, persisted for another day, but the tiger-shaped golden halberd still didn't change in the slightest.

  Looking at the tranquil tiger-shaped golden spear lying on the ground, Yi Chu helplessly put away the talisman in his hand and stretched out to pick up the tiger-shaped golden spear. He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "You're my ancestor, damn it! After so long, can't you give me some reaction?"

  The icy tiger-shaped golden halberd remained still and silent. Yi Chu let out a long sigh, but instead of continuing to refine the next artifact, he walked out of the cave, picked some fresh wild fruits, and with a swift motion, hit a wild bird that flew in front of him, bringing it back into the cave.

  After eating a sumptuous meal, Yi Chu sat on the clean mountain stone and thought about the reason for his failure in refining the magic weapon.

  Tiger-shaped golden halberd, mighty and overwhelming, dominating the world. As for myself, I failed to refine it successfully, possibly due to my own cultivation level; as for that black gourd, since it followed me, it has always been mysterious and elusive, I couldn't grasp its essence at all. The failure to refine these two things might be related to my own cultivation.

  It's better to find a more common artifact to sacrifice first. Thinking of this, the broken blood bead fell into Yi Chu's hands. This artifact couldn't exert its full power on him, but it was still not to be underestimated when used. Besides, he had already used it many times, so it should be well-sacrificed.

  Originally, the Broken Blood Bead was ranked third from last in Yi Chu's ranking, but after suffering two blows, Yi Chu had now promoted it to third place. If the Broken Blood Bead had a spirit, it would probably be extremely grateful to Yi Chu.

  As the blood talisman in his hand approached the broken blood bead again, Yi Chu felt that there seemed to be a blood talisman inside the broken blood bead resisting his own. However, the blood-colored symbol had become blurred and unclear, and at the moment Yi Chu exerted force, it suddenly shattered open with a loud crash!

  Time passed minute by minute in the midst of the fierce battle, and the broken Blood Pearl suddenly began to emit a red glow, casting the entire cave in a bloody hue.

  "Union", Easy Chu shook hands, pinched out a law, the blood-colored symbol in his hand, instantly merged into the broken blood bead. At this time, Easy Chu felt that the broken blood bead and himself had a kind of bone-and-flesh connection, this connection was strange and mysterious.

  "Rise!" With Yi Chu's clear cry, the broken blood beads rose from the ground, emitting a dazzling red glow and releasing a burst of murderous aura.

  Upon seeing the shattered Blood Pearl rise into the air, Yi Chu couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement and joy. He had succeeded! He had finally successfully refined the shattered Blood Pearl!
