Chapter 36: Xiao Jian's Secret (Three)

  If the secret pattern is strong enough, can it be said that Li Ran's knife may allow his primordial spirit to enter the divine movement period ahead of time, producing external divine consciousness control over the spiritual instrument, and releasing divine consciousness to explore the surroundings?

  Li Ruo couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, he knew that the secret of the small sword had finally been discovered by him. He forcibly calmed himself down, carefully sorting out the strange phenomena in his mind, and slowly figured out a clue.

  This little sword is only interested in metal energy and has no reaction to anything else.

  Secondly, the sword body of Xiaojian can allow the divine consciousness to enter, and the heaven and earth inside must contain a certain inheritance of cultivation secrets. When people go to find it, the faint golden thread in the flowing cloud should be the one that activates part of the inheritance in Xiaojian. When the secret pattern penetrates through the yuan Shen, the shocking power can make the person's yuan Shen stronger.

  At the same time, as long as Xiao Jian continued to absorb metal and activate more of its inherited information, Li Ruo could finally inherit Xiao Jian's divine abilities.

  Thinking of this, the flame in Li Ran's heart was completely ignited, and he hastily took out the long sword that had been snatched from Qi Feng Snake's hand, held it in his hand, and slowly fed it to the small sword "mouth", with a slap, sticking the long sword on the small sword.

  Li Ran's sword was stunned for a long time, and he didn't react at all. The small sword seemed to be completely different from the previous one that swallowed the short crossbow, as if it couldn't muster up even half of its interest in this sword.

  Li Ran put down the long sword in a daze, meditated for a while, and vaguely understood that this small sword should only be interested in special metals with spiritual energy, the long sword is made of hundred-refined steel, but it's just ordinary iron, and can't attract the small sword.

  Li Ran couldn't help but smile wryly.

  The Xiao Jian's appetite was so voracious that he didn't know where to find so many rare metals to feed it.

  A divine artifact is hard to come by, this small sword needs to be fed how many divine artifacts to satisfy its taste and let it change and show its magical powers.

  Li Ruo took everything off his body, but still couldn't find anything that could satisfy the little sword's appetite. He even fed it silver coins, but the little sword remained completely uninterested.

  "The inheritance of the Supreme Immortal is indeed not easily obtained. The small sword will only allow the faint golden secret pattern in the flowing clouds to evolve and further enhance my Yuan Shen's power after swallowing more spiritual metals. But where can I find these spiritual metals?"

  Li Ran's sword helplessly shook his head, and suddenly his gaze fell on the corpses of the wild bees in front of him, which were cut off by the man in green before he died. Most of the wild bees were torn apart by the sword's edge, but the stingers at the back still emitted a faint chill.

  Each bee sting is only as big as a sewing needle, and it hurts unbearably when it pierces the body. Li Ran also suffered greatly just now.

  But seeing this, Li Ran's eyes seemed to be thinking of something, his gaze slowly brightened, and he muttered to himself:

  "Wild bees are also considered spiritual insects, although their rank is too low and their stingers are too small. However, somehow the stingers of these bees contain a bit of spiritual metal components. Is the little sword interested in them?"

  Thinking of this, Li Ran slowly drew out the small sword and cautiously placed it near the tail of a bee corpse. With a whooshing sound, half of the bee corpse was quickly sucked over, and the stinger slapped onto the small sword.

  "It worked, it's really useful!"

  Li Ruo's knife was overjoyed, but before he could continue to be excited, a loud "pa" sound was heard. The bee needle quickly retracted and the gray wooden plank split into several segments. Half of the bee's corpse fell to the ground in an instant.

  Li Ran's smile still lingered on his face as he stood there in a daze.

  The nectar in the beehive is too little, not enough for Xiaojian to swallow in one mouthful. However, there are many wild bees here, and slowly but surely, a little bit at a time, it will add up.

  Li Ran's sword is no longer urgent, holding a small sword, one wild bee and one wild bee point to the past, absorbing the metal essence of one bee needle after another into the sword.

  How long this mechanical repetition has been going on, perhaps three days, perhaps four days, Li Ranno's knife is a bit unclear. He was fully immersed in the joy of it all. Until this day, not only did he pick up all the dead wild bees on the ground, but also killed countless live wild bees. Anyway, except for the sweet scent of honey wafting through the entire cave, there was almost no buzzing sound to be heard, and Li Ranno's knife finally stopped.

  The light in Xiao Jian's eyes grew slightly brighter.

  Li Ran Dao held the small sword with a bitter smile.

  That faintly glowing grandeur was too limited, if it wasn't for his meticulousness, it would be really hard to discover.

  Li Ran didn't give up, shook his head and walked to the depths of the cave, sat down at a turning point, held the small sword deeply gazing, with a humming sound, his primordial spirit once again entered the sword, the small cluster of green light slowly flew into the flowing clouds.

  Li Ruo's knife lightly traveled the familiar road, standing on the must-pass path where the light gold-colored mysterious pattern flashed by. In a short while, the mysterious pattern quietly and soundlessly passed through Li Ruo's primordial spirit. The three wave peaks seemed to have deepened in color slightly, causing Li Ruo's body to lightly tremble.

  A refreshing breeze emanated from the depths of Li Ruo's soul.

  Quietly sitting there, he didn't know how many days had passed, the secret pattern made Li Ruo Dao's primordial spirit even stronger, and when passing through the primordial spirit again, there was no feeling anymore. Only then did Li Ruo Dao reluctantly withdraw his heart from the small sword.

  Slowly opening his eyes, Li Ran felt extremely satisfied and let out a long sigh, feeling that the world was so beautiful.

  With utmost solemnity, he reinserted the small sword back into the beast skin pouch at his waist. Li Fenger knew that this Upper Immortal's treasured artifact would likely accompany him for a very long time. From now on, his path of cultivation would be accelerated by this small sword.

  He picked up the gourd from beside him, opened the stopper, and the fragrance of honey wafted into his nostrils.

  Li Ran lightly drank a mouthful of the knife, re-crossed his legs and sat down, refining the energy in the honey again and again.

  Li Ran felt his skills were steadily improving over the past few days.

  Using wild honey to cultivate, the speed is far from the violent and powerful energy of spiritual medicine, but it is also much faster than his own absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy. In these days of cultivation, he has already slowly raised his strength to the peak of the fourth layer of Jingyuan Jin, just one step away from breaking through.

  Li Ruo was delighted in his heart and didn't rush, taking solid steps one by one.

  Just at this moment, Li Ruo was meditating with his eyes closed when he felt the light outside the cave suddenly darken, and a shadowy figure stepped in.

  Li Ruo's heart was racing violently, and he sprang up from the ground, holding his long sword in hand. Just then, a tall and slender figure with a greenish-blue complexion appeared outside the cave, carrying a long sword on his back, his face filled with anger and shock as he rushed into the cave.

  A few steps away from the swollen corpse of the green-robed man, whose face was twisted in a grimace, he quickly squatted down to examine it closely:

  "Hua Feng, you...you really died here? Hua Feng, your death was so miserable!"
