Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 712: Sword Forging Fire Pool
Many of these ideas, though seemingly unconventional, made Song Yan’s eyes light up.
This Qian Dan Yi Fang also known as Thousand Pills Formula truly lived up to its name.
What surprised him most was the mention of an Alchemy method he had never imagined possible.
"Sword Qi Pill Refining?"
When he first saw this term, Song Yan instinctively thought not of Alchemy.
But of a term mentioned in the Sword Planting Technique: Sword Pill.
However, that was actually more akin to a Dao of the Sword Artifact Refining method.
Song Yan carefully read through the records in "Qian Dan Yi Fang" and confirmed that this was a Dao of the Sword Alchemy method.
The term Sword Qi, in the current understanding of other Cultivators, refers to a means of attack formed by the condensation and transformation of Spiritual Qi.
Its essence was still Spiritual Qi.
However, if the "Sword Qi" described in this trial reading was truly what the general public believed it to be... then condensing Spiritual Qi to transform into Sword Qi for Alchemy, and using Spiritual Qi to ignite Spiritual Fire for Alchemy, actually had no fundamental difference.
In fact, the latter had greater universality.
Then there would be no reason to delve into Sword Qi Pill Refining.
Thus, a vague feeling arose in Song Yan’s heart.
"The ’Sword Qi’ mentioned in this Pill Scripture... could it be the Sword Qi of a Sword Cultivator?"
He inexplicably recalled the scene on Bei Ya Mountain where Sword Qi had caused the moon-bearing ancient lotus to bloom.
The Sword Qi in the Zhen Dao Sword Mansion had properties vastly different from Spiritual Qi.
The trial reading portion of "Qian Dan Yi Fang" didn’t contain much content, so he quickly reread it.
Song Yan immediately decided to make a copy of this "Qian Dan Yi Fang" and take it with him.
Although many of the methods required higher Cultivation to attempt, these concepts alone were already greatly beneficial to him.
What’s more, it also contained methods for Alchemy using Sword Qi.
"If I can use Sword Qi for Alchemy, wouldn’t I not even need a Pill Furnace?"
Xiao Song happily imagined.
So, without further hesitation, he immediately exchanged and copied this "Qian Dan Yi Fang."
He also copied the Little Mystical Qi Scripture using Sect contribution points to take with him.
Walking out of the Inner Sect Library, he pondered carefully, confirmed that all matters had been handled, and then headed back to his Immortal Cave.
According to Li Yi, the process of joining Demon Subduing Peak was originally extremely complex and lengthy.
However, due to the unique circumstances of this recruitment, with two people entering Demon Subduing Peak together, the Sect simply assigned a dedicated Deacon Disciple to be fully responsible for the matter.
This saved both of them a lot of trouble.
Upon returning to his Immortal Cave, Song Yan immediately entered the Cultivation room without stopping.
Primeval items could strengthen the Dao of the Sword Seed and improve Cultivation Aptitude.
For him, refining the Fenru Karma Fire was naturally the top priority.
Speaking of which, it surprised Song Yan that this Spiritual Fire actually had its own name.
In the Cultivation World, apart from those extremely precious and unique primeval items, others did not have a fixed form.
Most primeval items were naturally formed, and their nature and appearance would vary depending on the time, climate, and topography of their birth. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Therefore, most primeval items did not have their own names.
Cultivators referred to them generically as Fire-attribute primeval items.
For example, the Wind Thunder Primeval item Song Yan had previously acquired in the painting world had no name.
At least, he hadn’t heard of one.
In the Cultivation room, Song Yan sat cross-legged, placing the jade box containing the Fenru Karma Fire in front of him.
His fingertip touched the jade box, and as he gently opened it, a scorching aura rushed towards him.
As expected of a Primeval Fire.
He took a deep breath, and Sword Qi surged in his palm, slowly lifting the Fire Spirit from the box.
The dark red flame quietly flickered in his palm, the purplish-gold at its core particularly striking in the dim room.
As the Fenru Karma Fire was taken out, the temperature of the entire Cultivation room suddenly rose, and the air slightly distorted due to the high temperature.
He slowly circulated the Spirit Transformation Chapter’s Sword Planting Art, and the Dao of the Sword Seed in the Zhen Dao Sword Mansion seemed to sense it, trembling slightly.
He carefully drew out a wisp of Sword Qi, like a probe, and pricked the cluster of flames.
"Hiss—"
The moment of contact, a burning pain surged like a tide.
However, he was not surprised; previously, in the painting world, when refining the withered wood wind thunder, his Divine Sense had also experienced numbness and throbbing pain.
A fine layer of sweat beaded on his forehead, but his movements did not stop.
With the Dao Art activated, the Spiritual Fire flickered, bright and dim, with Song Yan’s breathing.
Strands of flame were refined by the Sword Qi and merged into the Sword Seed.
This process was not long.
Perhaps he was much more skilled compared to his first time.
Within the Liangyi Realm, a dark red hue suddenly appeared beneath the originally calm inky sky.
The withered tree entwined with wind and thunder seemed to be startled awake, golden light flashing between its branches.
The Fenru Karma Fire floated in mid-air, flickering erratically, as if surveying this unfamiliar world.
Song Yan’s Divine Sense manifested within the Realm.
Compared to the first time he refined the Wind Thunder Primeval item into his Dao Seed, the changes in the Dao Seed this time were not obvious.
Just as he was about to step forward to examine the Fenru Karma Fire, an unexpected change occurred.
Boom!
Fenru suddenly exploded in mid-air, and purplish-red fire rain poured down.
At the same time, he suddenly felt his Spiritual Qi and Sword Qi gushing out simultaneously.
All of it surged into the liangyi pearl.
As the fire rain fell, countless scorch marks were burned into the inky ground, and on the opposite side of the Ink Pool Heavenly Waterfall and the Dao Seed phantom, it instantly converged into a scorched earth.
In the center of the scorched earth, the ink-black collapsed, forming a boiling fire pool.
Within the pool, purplish-red Spiritual Flames surged.
Song Yan stared at the fire pool and scorched earth before him, lost in thought.
Why did the terrain and landscape within the Liangyi Realm seem to be increasing?
With a thought of his Divine Thought, he suddenly sensed that the Lord Lin in the external Sword Box emitted a clear sword cry, transforming into a streak of light, and was summoned into the Liangyi Realm, flying directly into the fire pool.
Chirp—
The moment the sword entered the pool, the Karma Fire within the pool surged violently.
Strands of Spiritual Flames, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged towards the Lord Lin.
"Hmm?"
Song Yan stepped forward and examined it carefully.
He saw that the old, tiny cracks on the sword body had actually begun to slowly repair, and the dim patterns were once again glowing with spiritual light.
Refining primeval items could also repair and forge Flying Swords?
He had never heard of it.
Song Yan carefully recalled, let alone the Sword Planting Technique, the entire Spirit Transformation Chapter had not mentioned a single word describing such a thing.
So, was this the effect of the liangyi pearl?
He knew nothing about Artifact Refining and had never had the idea of delving deeply into it.
If this liangyi pearl could have the effect of repairing and forging Flying Swords, it would naturally be a great help to him.
His previous good relations with the Yan Family of Longquan Prefecture were also for the convenience of repairing his Flying Sword or enhancing its quality in the future, should it be damaged.
As a Sword Cultivator, one must, of course, be responsible for one’s Flying Sword.
Looking at the situation in the pool, Song Yan seemed to have thought of something.
The Lord Lin had already been forged once with Qilin scales when it was in Senior Nie Zhao’s hands; otherwise, it would not have been able to withstand a Sword Cultivator’s Sword Intent.
Later, perhaps due to the forging method, the remaining two Qilin scales were not used in it.
This fire pool in the liangyi pearl looked very mysterious; he wondered if he could try again.
