Chapter 150: The Beauty of the Dancing Maiden
"Clang!" A faint sword hum, the Xuan Tie sword seemed to have emitted an excited dragon's cry. In the moment when the four talismans took shape, everyone around was greatly astonished. These three talismans were engraved on the sword body, not only were they talismans, but also exquisite works of art. The people present couldn't find any flaws. The raised lines were like bold brushstrokes, with a dynamic and powerful aura.
The lines of the runes seem to be still taking shape, slowly writhing as if the sword itself is not satisfied with these runes.
"Hum!" Finally, the runes stopped writhing, and at the moment they solidified, a brilliant light burst forth, with golden rays and auspicious colors filling the air. The entire sword was enveloped in a hazy golden aura, emitting a flowing light that suddenly flew up into the giant stone cave, initially fluttering like a butterfly, but speeding up rapidly, the sword humming softly, its lingering sound long and drawn out, as swift as flowing light, imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Treasured vessel!" Miao Yu exclaimed loudly.
"Not yet!" Guo Fei smiled and shook his head. After this refining, the Xuan Tie sword finally solidified its special realm, evolving its quick property into flight, and entered the ranks of the Zong Qi, possessing the characteristic of shrinking and expanding. However, its attack power was lacking, at best only reaching the level of a mid-grade Zong Qi.
It's just that this property made Guo Fei extremely delighted, and he danced in the air. This is usually a characteristic of a superior artifact. Guo Fei secretly thanked Miao Yu, as the "Flowing Clouds Chant" she provided had greatly enhanced the overall properties of the Xuan Tie Sword, which would be a great help to him from now on.
"Young master, you have such a high-quality magic tool. When can I also get some pity? Since my low-grade king artifact, Wan Gui Fan, was destroyed by the Ling tribe, I haven't had a suitable weapon." Tian Hunzi also came over, grinning and saying.
Guo Fei knew that the Ghost Tribe, Yao Tribe, Mo Tribe and Human Tribe were different, they called the Zun Qi as Wang Qi, but it was actually just a habitual way of addressing.
"I had considered this earlier, with your cultivation level, ordinary magical tools wouldn't be able to unleash great power in your hands. I was thinking of forging a high-grade magical tool for you, but currently my refining skills are not high and the materials aren't suitable for your Ghost Tribe, so I think it's better to wait a bit, until I gather the necessary materials to forge a magical tool for you." Guo Fei said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, young master. Just thinking about it is enough. After I go out, I will collect the materials for you to refine the instrument." Tianhunzi said with great joy.
"Hmm, being stuck here isn't a long-term solution either. I estimate that our food will run out soon, so I'm assigning you a task. Take the Ghost Soldier Squad and start excavating tunnels to try and find a passage back to the surface as soon as possible." Guo Fei instructed Tian Hunzi.
"Yes!" Tianhunzi nodded and took the evil spirits and earth spirits battle team to find a location to dig a tunnel.
Next, Guo Fei transformed into an axe cavalryman and began to forge an axe spear. Based on Guo Fei's experience in forging the Xuan Tie sword, this sword would have the attribute of being able to self-evolve through the passage of time, which was not a coincidence, but rather a result of his transformation into a sword soldier, where he possessed the aura of slaughter and was tempered by it.
So Guo Fei deliberated for a long time and decided to forge the axe, choosing only high-grade materials, forging a rough ingot, and tempering it in future battles, waiting for it to produce spiritual intent before further refining it. Only then could he possibly obtain a divine artifact with the attribute of years of sacrifice.
Guo Fei took the remaining long guns captured from the Ling tribe, melted them down bit by bit, and added the thousand-year-old black steel obtained from the Ling Temple. He forged them together to create a heavy axe-spear weighing 200 kilograms. Although it was rough, Guo Fei carefully crafted it, and its quality reached that of a lower-grade treasure. However, its hardness and sharpness were not comparable to ordinary treasures, making it terrifying.
After completing the long gun, Guo Fei carefully crafted a set of equipment for Hu Xiaoyue. He spent a lot of time on this set of equipment, which made Miao Yu sigh that Guo Fei was too extravagant. Using such materials to create these decorations was indeed luxurious.
This set of equipment is made up of dance shoes, shoulder guards, chest guards, elbow guards, and knee guards, forged from thousand-year-old black steel and mysterious iron, with gold and silver infused into it. The dance shoes have the "Flowing Clouds Curse" and three talismans from the "Equipment Refining Technique" drawn on them. The shoulder guards, chest guards, elbow guards, and knee guards have the same three talismans from the "Equipment Refining Technique", as well as an additional fourth-level curse seal "Ice Flame Curse" that Miao Yu taught, at Guo Fei's request. Once infused with water attribute primal energy, it can emit ice flames. The ice flames are not only extremely cold but also appear like a dreamy mist, refracting rainbow colors and looking exceptionally beautiful.
Guo Fei put a lot of thought into making this set of equipment, combining his creativity from his past life to carve exquisite patterns on it, inlaying gold and silver, and adorning it with diamonds. It looked not only luxurious but also elegant. Moreover, the size was just right, Guo Fei personally helped Hu Xiaoyue try it on, striving for a perfect fit. As a result, unexpectedly, this set of equipment reached an extraordinary level, a top-grade treasure.
"What kind of world is this! Even a plaything can be turned into a treasure." Tianhunzi heard and couldn't help but let out a speechless sigh.
"Guo Fei, you're spending so much energy just for fun, what's the point of that!" Miao Yu also sighed. She thought Guo Fei was childish and only cared about entertainment, it was really unbearable to watch.
"Hehe!" Guo Fei smiled slightly and didn't say a word, letting Hu Xiaoyue try it on.
"Hiss!" When Hu Xiaoyue finished dressing and came out of the cave, everyone present was instantly stunned.
Can be described with one word: "Beauty". Extremely stunning beauty, luxurious like a queen, pure as jade, mysterious and eerie.
"Hehehe!" Hu Xiaoyue giggled, urging her vital energy to infuse into the defensive gear. The gear emitted a hazy glow, like mist and smoke, making Hu Xiaoyue instantly appear even more beautiful and mysterious. Her body spun around, with an ethereal dance pose fluttering and flying, and she actually floated in mid-air under the support of her dancing shoes. The shoes emitted waves of pale blue water clouds, three feet off the ground, fluttering and dancing like a butterfly.
"Wow!" Someone couldn't take it and fell to the ground. Even Miao Yu was stunned, nodding repeatedly: "It's really perfect, it's so beautiful!"
"Thank you, Master. With this equipment on, I feel so light and can fly several kilometers away. My defense has increased greatly. And it's even more beautiful now." Hu Xiaoyue giggled and curtsied deeply.
"It's infuriating! Not according to plan!" Jin Ying also appeared, with a slightly sour tone. The last sentence was directed at Guo Fei, the implication clear.
Guo Fei smiled faintly, and didn't mind. Hu Xiaoyue was a dancer, and this suit of armor suited her perfectly. In battle, the more beautiful she looked, the stronger her killing power would be.
After that, Guo Fei once again tempered Jin Ying's Xuan Yue Wan Dao, and after some exploration, he finally grasped the door to the formation of the Years' Sacrifice Refining Instrument. Jin Ying transformed into a ninja, and the energy light shadow of her weapon type also merged with the dark harmony in her hand. As she used it for a long time, this weapon actually produced a subtle intention. It had gained the foundation of Years' Sacrifice Refining.
"It turns out that the Years' Refining Ceremony also relies on the intent and nurture of the instrument. It seems that all the instruments in my arsenal have a high chance of being nurtured into Years' Refining Ceremony instruments. Using the energy of the arsenal to nurture, the abilities from the Arsenal Space are not because I'm particularly lucky or have an exceptionally high crafting level." Guo Fei examined Jin Ying's instrument and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Guo Fei will use the last bit of Millennium Cold Iron to refine his Xuan Yue curved knife. He engraved "Liu Yun Zhou" on his Xuan Yue curved knife, and after engraving four talismans, the Xuan Yue curved knife transformed into a flowing light flying towards the sky, rotating around Jin Ying.
