Chapter 149 Refining the Mysterious Iron Sword Again

  There are currently 32 ghost soldiers, with one team of 12 people and two complete teams of 24 people. In addition to a incomplete team of 7 people, there is also a Tianhunzi. Guo Fei has been obsessed with forging iron for 93 consecutive days, averaging one gun every three days, and resting to recover his energy by meditating. Each ghost soldier is equipped with a long gun, except for the Tianhunzi.

  After so many days of practicing the symbol, Guo Fei felt that his technique was becoming more and more proficient, and his spiritual power had also increased greatly. The body of his Nascent Soul was becoming even more solidified. The primordial energy within his Dantian began to slowly temper his bones in an involuntary circulation.

  However, what made Guo Fei a bit disappointed was that out of the 31 long guns, only five eventually became instruments for the Years' Festival Refining, reaching the level of top-grade treasures. The rest, although all reached the treasure grade, became fixed-form instruments and had no room for growth. This made Guo Fei deeply realize that refining instruments also relied on luck.

  However, the technique of refining equipment has been greatly improved. Except for the first rod, the remaining four long guns were all formed in the last few refinements.

  After completing the long gun, Guo Fei thought about how to forge his own Xuan Tie sword. The Xuan Tie sword was originally a vessel for the Years' Festival Refining, and it already had some spiritual intelligence, communicating with Guo Fei's mind, possessing the idea of "devouring". It was actually relatively easy to select materials.

  Guo Fei took out the Xuan Tie sword, and with a slight movement of his mind, he closed his eyes to investigate. The Xuan Tie sword's light pointed towards the five long spears scattered in the corner of the cave. Guo Fei walked over to take a look, and these five long spears were indeed the ones they had obtained from the Ling tribe. They were a uniform silver-gray color, similar to the color of lightning, and seemed to be made of some unknown metal alloy, extremely hard, and clearly not ordinary goods.

  "You're quite the connoisseur, this is a weapon seized from the Ling tribe, it seems to be made of extraordinary material." Guo Fei smiled faintly, his divine sense flowing into the Xuan Tie Sword. Ever since the Xuan Tie Sword evolved last time, Guo Fei discovered that it had developed a very distinct consciousness.

  Kuang Fei placed the two long spears on the stove to heat them up, and after a day of heating, the two long spears did not change in the slightest. Although they were scorching hot all over, there was no sign of softening or melting.

  "Melting point is so high!" Guo Fei was shocked, what kind of fine steel and mysterious iron this was, it was actually so difficult to melt, couldn't be melted, then it couldn't be forged into a Xuan Tie sword.

  "Hiss!" Guo Fei's palm flipped, and the golden flame on his palm flashed, starting to use his ultimate technique to melt this long gun. The golden flame flashed, after a day of roasting, the long gun began to soften bit by bit, not much time passed, it turned into droplets of liquid, rolling on the body of the gun, dripping down.

  "Hiss!" The Xuan Tie sword suddenly jumped out of the ground and moved horizontally, catching the dripping metal solution in an instant. The Xuan Tie sword swallowed it like a "whale swallowing water", and the melted metal solution disappeared instantly without a trace.

  Kuang Fei was also stunned by the scene in front of him. The Xuan Tie sword's intent was originally a manifestation of Kuang Fei's divine thought, slightly showing spiritual intelligence, but unexpectedly it had begun to evolve its own will. As for this type of spiritual entity, Kuang Fei had studied ancient texts before, which referred to it as an "instrumental spirit", born for battle, and born within the artifact itself, sharing a body with the instrument.

  Guo Fei continued to refine the long spear, and after refining about half of the spear body, dozens of kilograms of metal were enough. The Xuan Tie sword stopped absorbing the metal solution at this time. At this time, the Xuan Tie sword turned pale gold, with a light halo flowing on its surface, which was quite elegant. However, it swallowed so much precious metal, and the overall shape seemed to have no change, no growth or thickening, but only increased in weight.

  "Sir, what kind of inscription should I engrave on this sword?" Guo Fei looked at the Xuan Tie Sword and said in a deep voice. He wouldn't have been able to engrave inscriptions before, but now that he could, it was only natural to add one.

  "Guo Fei, this sword is extraordinary. If the talisman is inscribed, will it destroy the sword's momentum? That would be a loss! Miao Yu didn't know about the ancient artifact, but she could see that the sword's overall structure was compact and dense. With her cultivation, she couldn't even find any flaws in this sword; in her eyes, it was almost invincible."

  Miao Yu knew that all things in the world have flaws, it's just a matter of how sharp one's eyes are. The fact that Miao Yu couldn't see it despite his cultivation means that this sword already has some "aura" and is quite extraordinary.

  "Don't worry, Miao Yu Zun, I'll be careful." Guo Fei smiled faintly. This sword was in sync with his mind, so the chances of it going wrong shouldn't be high.

  "Since you insist on engraving the runes on it, I'll do my best. This sword is used by you and should have a golden attribute aura, sharp gold aura, its attack is unmatched. The sword is a light and sharp weapon, if swift runes are engraved on the body of the sword, it will definitely be even faster, one fast breaks all laws! I just got a sixth-level rune, but I haven't practiced it yet, it's a universal flight technique called 'Flowing Cloud Incantation', which means that the body is like a flowing cloud flying high, engraving it on this sword may increase its lightness."

  Guo Fei knew that although entering the realm of the respected, one could fly through the air, but without a technique or skill that matched their attributes, flying speed was not much faster than running on land. Therefore, flying techniques and skills were extremely precious. Miao Yuken took it out, proving that this person was indeed an upright person.

  After six days of concentrated study, Guo Fei finally managed to depict it with a sigh. Miao Yu was extremely surprised and exclaimed that Guo Fei's soul and body were not weak, and his spiritual power was profound. Guo Fei knew that he had benefited from these days of concentrated cultivation of the "Remnant Night Heart Method", his life and soul becoming more solid day by day, and his spiritual power gradually deepening.

  Now Guo Fei has finally grasped some of the doorways, his soul body is strong and powerful, and his spiritual power is even stronger. The Canye Heart Method is a technique that enhances the power of the soul, and Guo Fei has benefited greatly from it. Hu Xiaoyue and others have also practiced this technique and have gained a lot from it.

  Jin Yan burst out, Guo Fei placed the Xuan Tie sword on the stove, calmed down and condensed Jin Yan into a solid before engraving it onto the Xuan Tie sword. Suddenly, before Guo Fei's Jin Yan even touched the sword body, the metal on the sword body began to flow rapidly, instantly raising an automatic rune in accordance with Guo Fei's intentions, identical to the one he was about to engrave.

  The runes flashed, and were automatically engraved in the middle of the sword. Unlike the previous spear, which was concave after engraving, this time it was a raised metal line, like a dragon or a flying phoenix, looking exceptionally elegant.

  The rune burst out a golden light at the moment of its completion, and the entire sword was shrouded in a hazy golden glow.

  "Guo Fei, how did you obtain this sword? It has actually given birth to spiritual gold. Every metal grain that fuses into it possesses spirituality. This is the foundation of an imperial sword!" Miao Yu's eyes shone brightly as he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and admiration.

  "Imperial Army!" Beside her, Hu Xiaoyue's face revealed a shocked expression. Every time the Imperial Army was deployed, countless corpses would fall and blood would flow for thousands of miles. The greatest foundation of a mighty empire was indeed the Imperial Army.

  Guo Fei smiled slightly, without responding. His mind moved swiftly, and with a thought, he inscribed three talismans from the "Qì Dào Liàn Shù" on the surface of the Xuan Tie Sword. The three talismans instantly formed on the sword body, automatically rotating to encircle and protect the talisman of the "Flowing Cloud Curse".
