"Disciple Zeng Shushu pays respects to Uncle Tian and Uncle Su."
After dealing with the affairs within the peak, Zeng Shushu also arrived at Dazhu Peak, intending to explain things to Li Qing'an.
In a short while, Li Qingan had learned the whole story from Zeng Shushu.
“I didn’t know either, my dad is so unreliable.” Zeng Shushu said apologetically.
"It's alright, we'll see how things go in time!"
.......
Feng Huifeng
Inside the Earthly Fiery Vein Cave where magical artifacts are forged.
Li Qingan stood above the Earthly Fiery Vein, adjusting his breathing.
Surrounding them were only a few elderly elders with white hair and beards.
These were among the few people Zeng Shuchang knew who had kept his promise and hadn't leaked the news, so he allowed them to watch together.
Outside the Fire Vein Cave, a group of elderly men were angrily cursing Zeng Shuchang in front of them.
"Chief Zeng, Uncle Zeng, what is the meaning of this?"
Chapter 30 Successful Refining, Everyone's Thoughts
Zeng Shuchang also didn't want to play along with these old fogies, so he directly broke the ice and said:
"It's nothing. Junior Nephew Li is preparing to forge a weapon. To avoid disturbing him, you don't need to go inside. If he succeeds, the news will be sent from inside the cave."
"Alright, alright, Uncle Zeng, if you think like this, do you still want us to forge weapons for you in the future?"
Enraged, the crowd hastily issued threats.
"Please make yourselves at home!"
"If what Shushu said is true, then Li Qing'an is 60% confident in refining it. Would I need your help to refine the weapon?" Zeng Shuchang thought disdainfully to himself.
"Fine, I'd like to see if this disciple can forge the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon even if you don't let us in to watch." The crowd was dissatisfied to see that Zeng Shuchang, who was usually so subservient to them, now dared to defy them.
So they all sat cross-legged outside the cave, not intending to leave.
Zeng Shuchang was used to the angry curses in his ears. These elders, as the only weapon-refining masters in the Qingyun Sect, were naturally arrogant and looked down on some of the weaker leaders. Even Dao Xuan's words sometimes went in one ear and out the other.
As for their disbelief, Uncle Zeng chuckled: "If they hadn't come here, perhaps he really would have believed it, but now they're all blocking the door..."
Zeng Shuchang was not wrong. After learning the news, these elders, out of caution, secretly investigated Li Qing'an's background. They found that he was just a disciple of Dazhu Peak, who was not very influential. They immediately looked down on him, thinking that it was wishful thinking for such a disciple to want to forge a divine weapon.
However, they still examined Li Qing'an's only weapon-forging work that had been passed down in the Qingyun Sect, namely the Spirit Gathering Array Plate.
They discovered that the crafting technique of this array plate was unique. Although it had some influence from the crafting techniques of Dazhu Peak, it was mostly created by the craftsman himself. More importantly, they found that they themselves seemed to have difficulty crafting such an array plate.
In other words, Li Qingan might actually have some confidence.
But since the words had already been spoken, and they still cared about their reputation, they naturally couldn't apologize. They only went to observe and learn some techniques, but were turned away at the door.
At this moment, Zeng Shushu came out of the cave and reminded Zeng Shuchang.
"Father, Qing'an has begun."
"Okay, let's go in first."
Zeng Shuchang was overjoyed. Without even glancing at the elders outside, he turned and walked into the cave.
If Li Qing'an succeeds, these elders will naturally apologize shamelessly; but if he fails, they will only do their best to ridicule and suppress others in order to elevate their own status.
This is their means of survival!
"I hope my nephew will succeed!" Zeng Shuchang prayed in his heart.
At this moment, Li Qingan had already taken out the materials he had prepared for refining weapons.
The elders who were standing some distance away were also whispering among themselves when they saw these materials.
"I never expected that this kid would even get his hands on the extraterrestrial meteorite and the Nine Nether Cold Iron. I had been trying to get the sect leader to agree to my weapon crafting for a long time, but he wouldn't agree."
"It seems the sect leader thinks highly of this disciple."
"..."
Li Qing'an first threw the two main materials into the Earthly Fiend Fire, then used one palm to ignite the flames, surrounding the two materials and allowing them to be perfectly tempered.
This process required Li Qing'an to constantly mobilize his vital energy. Fortunately, while making subtle modifications to the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, Li Qing'an also improved the speed of vital energy recovery. Furthermore, the Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique - Moon Essence Chapter that he created expanded his dantian, allowing it to hold more vital energy. He initially estimated that his current vital energy was no less than that of a disciple at the peak of the ninth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
With this double guarantee, Li Qing'an had enough confidence to say that he had refined the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon; otherwise, the consumption of vital energy alone would have been a major problem.
Li Qingan watched as the meteorite and cold iron essence gradually melted and were continuously tempered in the Earthly Fiend Flame. He secretly calculated the time and then threw the remaining materials into the flame.
Then sit cross-legged and wait, while also actively recovering your energy.
A few days later, the elders and Zeng Shuchang, who had been watching closely, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Old Li, do you know what kind of weapon-refining technique this is?" Zeng Shuchang asked an elder beside him.
"I've never seen such a method of refining multiple materials together before!"
"And look, although there were many materials being refined at once, this disciple refined them very cleanly, leaving almost no impurities."
“Old Li, are your eyes not working properly? How can this be considered to be without any impurities? This material has been completely refined, without the slightest impurity.” Another elder said, his face flushed and his eyes burning with fervor.
"Could it be that I can really see the birth of a divine weapon from the heavens? I would have no regrets even in the afterlife."
Many of the elders lost their composure.
"As expected."
Zeng Shushu looked at this scene and exchanged a glance with his father, their eyes full of smiles.
In no time, another ten days or so passed.
During this time, the elders outside the cave were constantly looking for news, but dared not rest for fear of missing anything.
So they ate and slept inside the cave.
This created another spectacular sight at Qingyun Gate – the Old Man Guarding the Cave.
Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak also came to the cave to check on Li Qing'an's condition, and he was all smiles when he left.
Looking at the elders who were forging divine weapons for Li Qing'an, which one of them wasn't arrogant before, now they all have to fawn over him, Old Tian. How could he not be happy?
Just as the many elders outside the cave were dozing off.
The once calm Earthly Fiend Fire Vein suddenly erupted with scorching flames, shooting in all directions. Immediately afterward, a blinding beam of light shot up from the cave, soaring into the sky.
Such a commotion naturally shocked the entire Qingyun Sect.
The elders outside the cave had already stood up, their spirits high, and rushed towards the cave entrance, crowding the entrance.
That beam of light exuded endless mysterious energy, and its sharp aura spread continuously from Feng Hui Peak, making the entire Qingyun Sect feel an extremely strong sense of oppression, like an invisible sword intent pressing down on everyone within its range.
The magical artifacts in the hands of the Qingyun Sect disciples were also trembling slightly, as if welcoming the superior.
All swords submitted, a pillar of light shot into the sky, and the sword intent permeated the air!
"A divine weapon has appeared; I never expected that this kid would actually succeed."
Wan Jianyi lay back in his chair, gazing at the distant pillar of light, and sighed inwardly, "He truly is a polymath!"
Even Dao Xuan, who had been guarding Tongtian Peak, traveled to Fenghui Peak by sword.
Xiaozhu Peak, Jingzhu Pavilion
Shuiyue, Lu Xueqi, and the others also stared at the pillar of light shooting into the sky, their eyes flashing.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Xueqi immediately thought of Li Qing'an refining the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon and couldn't help but glance at Shuiyue.
Shuiyue nodded, glanced at Lu Xueqi, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's go."
Lu Xueqi and Wen Min were delighted. The former was naturally indifferent to the so-called divine weapon, while the latter simply wanted to see what the new Nine Heavens Divine Weapon looked like.
Dazhufeng, Shoujing Hall
"Shu~"
Tian Buyi, who had been keeping a close eye on Feng Hui Peak, hurriedly flew towards Feng Hui Peak on his sword with Su Ru.
The heads of each lineage also led some of their most promising disciples to Feng Hui Peak.
Meanwhile, inside the Earthly Fiery Vein Cave...
Within the Earthly Fiend Flames, the divine weapon that Li Qing'an was forging was gradually taking shape. It only needed a period of nurturing, and during this period, he needed to continuously input his own vital energy so that the divine weapon could maintain a very high degree of compatibility with Li Qing'an after it was born.
The goal is to achieve a result where one plus one is greater than two by using sword techniques.
After some time, Li Qing'an's face was pale, and his clothes were constantly soaked with sweat, which was then dried by the heat.
Li Qing'an had no time to consider the discomfort of his clothes, and focused entirely on maintaining a certain frequency to transmit vital energy to the magic weapon.
Zeng Shushu and the elders held their breath, not daring to blink, for fear of missing this historic moment.
At this moment, the pillar of light on Feng Hui Peak began to gradually dissipate, and even the sword intent began to recede.
"Qiang~"
With a clang, the divine weapon flew out of the flames, circling around Li Qing'an and emitting a series of sword cries.
"It's done! It really is done! I never thought I'd live to see this!"
The elders nearby wept with joy.
Li Qingan reached out and grasped the divine weapon floating in front of him, feeling the warmth and lingering heat in his palm.
Chapter 31 Wang Xian prepares to descend the mountain for travel
Li Qing'an held the sword horizontally in front of his chest and examined it carefully. The hilt was engraved with two small ancient characters, "Wang Xian," a name he had come up with on a whim when he was forging the weapon. The sword was smooth and shiny, revealing Li Qing'an's face, and it gleamed with a cold light.
Li Qingan had no doubt that this sword could cut through the ordinary magical artifacts he had used before.
And it's done without lifting a finger!
At this moment, Zeng Shushu also came up: "Is this the new Nine Heavens Divine Weapon?"
At this moment, the crowd that had rushed from various peaks also pushed aside the elders who were blocking the entrance and walked in, looking at the divine weapon in Li Qing'an's hand.
