Chapter 441: Chapter 439: Liangyi Trigram Sword
Ning Daoran had heard so tales about Lu Xianzi.
It was said that she was a woman who seed to have stepped out of the leading role in a great drama. Her parents were servant disciples from a remote branch of the Immortal Cloud Sect, two low-grade Spiritual Root disciples who fell in love. When she was born, her mother died from excessive bleeding, and her father was murdered by Robbery cultivation practitioners during an outing. Thus, Lu Xianzi, bearing the identity of a “servant” descendant, entered the Outer Sect to cultivate.
It was not until she turned twelve that she managed to condense her Spirit Root. Among the servant disciples, her status was the lowest. Yet, in the year she turned twelve, Lu Xianzi awakened a First-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, shocking the entire Sect.
The eldest and second eldest sisters were extrely jealous of her and tried to harm her multiple tis, but ultimately failed. Instead, at fifteen, during the Sect’s trials, the Immortal Slaying Sword, the Sect’s treasured artifact, acknowledged her as its master, astonishing everyone!
After that, Lu Xianzi beca the Sect Saintess, and her cultivation advanced rapidly, like a rocket.
Even the Sect Master and her master only possessed the Nascent Soul Early Stage, but Lu Xianzi stepped into the Nascent Soul Middle Stage before the age of two hundred, becoming one of the strongest Nascent Soul practitioners in Sangyu Country.
Lu Xianzi, holding the Immortal Slaying Sword and emanating righteousness, was an invincible presence!
Here she cos, about to defeat the Demon Dragon!
…
“Ah…”
It was in the middle of a harsh winter, and the Qianyuan Sect was embroiled in a fierce battle.
Lu Xianzi, holding her long sword, proclaid her justice in the sky, loudly reciting mantras about the Nine Heavens Profound Evil becoming Divine Thunder and barraging the Fire Dragon True Monarch with sword lights from the Immortal Slaying Sword until he cried for his father and shouted for his mother.
Standing aloof on the summit, Ning Daoran watched the battle from afar and remarked, “Lu Xianzi is really ferocious in battle…”
“Yes.”
Beside him, Little Bai pursed her red lips. She too was a Demon Beast and felt a sense of empathetic sadness. If she were the one being beaten, she wondered if she could survive under the Immortal Slaying Sword’s attack.
After a massive battle, the Fire Dragon True Monarch, covered in wounds, left the front mountain of Qianyuan Sect. Had he lingered any longer, he probably would have lost his life. So after throwing out so fierce words, he scampered away and returned to his nest within the Demon Dragon Mountain Range.
Lu Xianzi did not pursue to kill. Exuding righteousness, she had a brief conversation with Monarch Qian Yuan and True Monarch Tu Yang and then respectfully departed.
As she flew past the Purple and Green Three Peaks on her sword, she glanced down.
Coincidentally, Ning Daoran also looked up at the sa mont and finally saw the true face of the protagonist-like fairy. Indeed, she was breathtakingly beautiful and could match Talisman Master Lin in a battle!
“Hm?”
Lu Xianzi’s eyebrows slightly knitted. She thought this person might be so kind of rogue since no one in the Qianyuan Sect dared to gaze at her so intently.
However, as a person of righteousness, she didn’t mind being looked at twice and turned into a streak of sword light as she returned to the Immortal Cloud Sect.
With that, the siege of the Qianyuan Sect was resolved, and everything returned to normal. The front mountain was bustling with construction work, rebuilding the Mountain Gate and many other structures. But for a sect like Qianyuan with thousands of years of heritage, as long as the Spirit Vein in the mountains was not destroyed, the Mountain Gate and buildings, all rely mundane, could be destroyed countless tis without hurting the Sect’s Primordial Qi.
Zhang Ningxin ca to Luoxia Peak once again and, after watching the snow with Ning Daoran and indulging in a hot pot al, looked completely satisfied.
“Fellow Daoist Ning.”
She looked out at the falling snow and asked, “The matter with the Fire Dragon True Monarch didn’t scare you, did it?”
“Nascent Soul Demon Dragon, indeed formidable.”
Ning Daoran frowned and said, “I won’t lie to Fairy, the mont the Fire Dragon True Monarch flew over the Purple and Green Three Peaks, my heart almost stopped out of fright.”
“Pfft~~”
Zhang Ningxin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Is it really that exaggerated?”
“It is.”
“Fellow Daoist Ning.”
Zhang Ningxin pursed her red lips and said, “Actually, I am here to say goodbye. My master has ordered to cultivate properly. I’m afraid I will be in closed-door cultivation for quite a long ti, at least starting with five years.”
“Oh?”
Ning Daoran thought of the many Dragon Demon Essences he had collected recently and smiled, “Actually, I’m about to enter closed-door cultivation too, so this works out well.”
“That’s very good.”
Zhang Ningxin smiled sweetly, “Let’s et again when we co out of seclusion.”
Ning Daoran was a bit speechless, as Zhang Ningxin was too enthusiastic.
After Zhang Ningxin left, Ning Daoran began his seclusion, handing over all the tasks of refining Elixir Pills and arrays to a group of Class A Paperfolk and Little Bai, focusing on his own cultivation.
…
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, seven years had passed.
This year, Ning Daoran was 322 years old. After seven years of tempering and refining, the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture had finally made new progress. It had now reached the 21st layer, with significant improvents in his Dragon Demon Power and Dragon Demon Body!
After erging from seclusion, everything was as usual.
Liu Ruyan once again ca to Luoxia Peak to exchange so opportunities with Ning Daoran.
“Junior Brother Ning.”
She pursed her red lips, glancing at Old Lu, who was forging weapons in the Cave Mansion nearby, and asked, “Can Junior Brother Lu truly forge weapons?”
“Indeed he can.”
Ning Daoran nodded, “Does Senior Sister Liu have anything she wishes to forge?”
“I actually do.”
Fairy Liu Ruyan slapped her storage bag and took out a ten-pound purple gemstone. “This is a Purple Cloud Stone, a treasured item I exchanged from a cultivator years ago. It is said to be an excellent material for forging magical artifacts. I want to forge a magic sword, but I wonder if Junior Brother Lu could help ?”
“A magic sword…”
Ning Daoran frowned. A magic sword was different from the usually heavier magical treasures; it was sowhat lighter. However, with Old Lu’s current masterful hamring technique, forging it wouldn’t be a problem.
“Senior Sister,”
He raised his eyebrows slightly: “Forging with only a Purple Cloud Stone might at best reach the standard of a Spiritual Artifact Level, but if Senior Sister wants a magical treasure, at least a little bit of Third-order Gold Essence must be added. The main property of this Purple Cloud Stone is water, and Senior Sister cultivates a cultivation technique with both water and thunder properties. In my opinion, it would be better to add a bit of Dark Thunder Gold Essence. By doing so, there is a very high chance of crafting a Low-grade Magical Treasure Level magic sword!”
“Really?”
Fairy Liu Ruyan was ecstatic. Magic treasure-level magic swords were rare in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, typically held in the hands of Great Cultivators. What she had expected was rely a Spiritual Artifact magic sword.
“Correct. However, Dark Thunder Gold Essence is extrely rare. We need at least ten pounds, right, Old Lu?”
“Ooh ooh~~~”
Big Stupid Deer shouted, indicating that buying about five pounds would be sufficient as it still had plenty of leftover scraps and materials.
“Agreed!”
Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded: “I will go to Qingfu Square to buy Dark Thunder Gold Essence right away!”
As a result, by late that night, the forging of the sword began in the cave mansion of Luoxia Peak.
Once a magical treasure level magic sword were forged, it would certainly induce celestial phenona. It might beco entangled with occurrences like those involving Fire Dragon True Monarch or the Divine Armor Phenonon, which might attract suspicion.
But Ning Daoran had already considered these things. If he only forged a Low-grade Magical Treasure, and if the forging skills of Luoxia Peak remained at the level of Third-order lower-grade, then there should be no problem. After all, the phenonon of the Dragon Scale Treasure Armor was clearly of a Spiritual Treasure Level, which was far too appalling.
It was a rare reunion with Senior Sister Liu, and forging a magic sword for her was entirely reasonable.
Moreover, Big Stupid Deer, upon hearing about this, was also very eager to forge this magic sword, so naturally, Ning Daoran wouldn’t stop it.
…
A few days later.
“Swoosh~~~”
A streak of auspicious light rose from Luoxia Peak, revealing the Divine Weapon Phenonon. However, the phenonon was sparse, so anyone with clear eyes could see that it was just a Third-order Lower Grade magic artifact.
Liu Ruyan was overjoyed, hugged the big head of the White Deer tightly and planted a fierce kiss on its forehead, making Old Lu unexpectedly show a shy expression and bellow loudly.
As the news spread, before long, a figure ca from Purple Mist Peak, Master Bishui.
“Fellow Daoist Ning,”
Master Bishui rubbed his hands together, his face full of sincerity: “I didn’t expect you to be so erudite, advancing even the art of weapon casting and artifact refining to the third tier. I have seen Fairy Liu’s Cloud Thunder Sword and am truly envious!”
“Cough cough…”
Ning Daoran said, “Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to beat around the bush. You and I have been neighbors for many years and can be considered half-friends. There’s no need for secrecy.”
“Indeed, Fellow Daoist is straightforward, making ashad!”
Master Bishui gently slapped his storage bag and took out a large chunk of dark ore embedded with fine gold veins, looking like so gold ore infiltrated a coal deposit.
“This is a piece of Dark Gold Essence, a treasure I found years ago while exploring a secret realm, and I almost lost my life for it. As a Daoist cultivator, I have always hoped to have a Daoist treasure sword of magical treasure level. If Fellow Daoist can forge a Liangyi Trigram Sword for this old man, I am willing to give my all to refine a Third-tier High-grade Puppet for Fellow Daoist at no cost. What do you say?”
“Sure,”
Ning Daoran imdiately accepted the Dark Gold Essence, saying: “Fellow Daoist, first gather the materials for a Third-tier Puppet. On the day the Third-tier High-grade Puppet is refined, I will start the furnace and directly forge a magical treasure level Liangyi Trigram Sword for Fellow Daoist!”
“Then, it’s agreed!”
…
So, half a year later, Master Bishui went all out, even pulling up and selling the Jiedan Elixirs from Purple Mist Peak’s dicine Garden, to gather enough materials and, as if by divine aid, once again managed to refine a Third-tier High-grade Puppet.
Master Bishui showed the puppet to Ning Daoran but did not trade it. He was waiting for his Liangyi Trigram Sword.
Ning Daoran then went to Demon Dragon Square, spent five hundred Spirit Stones to buy a forging diagram for the Liangyi Trigram Sword, supplented with so Gold Essence materials, and started casting iron in the cave mansion that very day.
A few days later, another faint Divine Weapon Phenonon rose from Luoxia Peak, illuminating the night sky!
A Black Gold Sword was born with the handle revealing a Liangyi Bagua Dharma Form, exuding the True Intent of Daoism.
The grade was controlled to high precision, not a bit more or less, just right for a Third-tier Lower Grade magical sword.
Forging magic swords was extrely difficult. Many Great Cultivators and Divine Craftsn failed repeatedly in the process of forging magic swords, losing countless materials. A craftsman capable of ticulous work like Big Stupid Deer that succeeds in one go was almost unheard of!
“Fellow Daoist Ning!”
At the ti of the transaction, Master Bishui was full of excitent.
…
At Qianyuan Sect, atop a huge peak, two people sat opposite each other, sipping Spiritual Tea.
“Brother,”
True Monarch Tu Yang said: “Recently, there have been two Divine Weapon births on the Purple and Green Three Peaks, allegedly the work of Peak Master Qiu Shui of Luoxia Peak, who actually forged two Third-tier Lower Grade magic swords in succession, a rarity indeed. Could this person be related to the Divine Armor Phenonon at Qingye Lake?”
“Hmph,”
Monarch Qian Yuan replied indifferently: “Master Qiu Shui is nothing but a Golden Core Middle Stage Independent Cultivator. Just send a capable disciple to investigate, and we’ll know.”
