Drunk Immortal Gourd

Seeing that he had caused dissatisfaction on the other side, Qingyang did not dare to delay and quickly took out all the materials he had prepared for refining the Five Elements Sword. They were the Golden Spirit Ten Thousand Killing Iron, the Peach God Tree Branch, the Sea-Smoking Pearl, the Netherworld Fire Stone, and the Yellow Extreme Smoke and Dust Sand. There were nine parts of each main material, and in addition, there were various auxiliary materials for refining, which almost filled the entire hut.

Each of these materials is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, and is invaluable, especially the Golden Spirit Ten Thousand Killing Iron, which is extremely rare. Even if there are spirit stones, it is difficult to buy it. The total value of all the things added up is more than 20 million spirit stones, which is higher than the total wealth of most of the gods. Even though the bearded man is knowledgeable, he was almost dazzled and did not react for a long time.

That is to say, he has been dead for many years, and only a remnant soul controlled by the floating duckweed illusion remains. Otherwise, he might not be able to control his greed. Looking at the materials, he said to himself after a long time: "The materials are good. I don't know how you found them." After that, without waiting for Qingyang to answer, he continued: "I have studied your Five Elements Sword carefully just now. It is not difficult to refine the secondary swords. The difficulty lies in the large number of secondary swords, which requires a lot of energy. However, it is precisely because of this that I can show my level as a master of refining. I will take this job." After that, the bearded man waved his hand, and a row of ground fire pits appeared outside the thatched cottage. Then he took the materials and placed them on the ground fire pits and began to forge the materials. At this time, the bearded man was completely in another state. He was completely free of the previous roughness. His focused appearance looked like a boudoir embroiderer. His movements were complicated and skillful, which was dazzling. Refining weapons is similar to refining pills. First, materials are refined, and then the materials are repeatedly forged to remove impurities. Then, they are combined with other materials to refine the rough blank of the treasure, and then fine processing such as quenching, shaping, engraving arrays, inlaying treasures, plating, and gathering spirits is carried out to finally refine the magic weapon.

The bearded man's refining technique is extremely smooth, without any sense of stagnation. It is not comparable to ordinary weapon refiners at a glance. More importantly, this bearded man does not only process one material at a time, but lines up the materials on the ground fire pit, processes nine materials at the same time, and refines nine secondary swords at the same time. This method is similar to the batch refining method used by Qingyang when refining pills. No wonder the other party was so arrogant before, worthy of being a master of refining weapons.

Qingyang did not go anywhere, just watched the other party operate here. Although he did not understand refining weapons, he also gained a lot from the bearded man's actions. Refining weapons and refining pills have a lot in common.

Unconsciously, more than ten days had passed, and there were few materials left in the hut. Beside the bearded man, there were thirty-six long swords neatly inserted. Each long sword was slightly smaller than Qingyang's Five Elements Sword, but the spiritual energy on the sword was no less than that of the main sword. Just looking at it made people envious. In the pit of fire in front of the bearded man, there were nine Golden Spirit Ten Thousand Killing Swords that had reached the final stage of refining. It would take at most half a day to succeed.

When Master Shi Han refined the Five Elements Sword magic weapon for Qingyang, it took more than ten months to refine the five giant swords, while the bearded man refined forty-five secondary swords in just over ten days. Although the secondary swords were easier to refine than the main swords, the number was many times more. From this, it can be seen how advanced the bearded man's weapon refining skills were.

Moreover, when Master Shi Han used the Jinling Wansha Iron, he was always very careful, fearing that the material would be damaged. He even wore a spiritual armor to protect himself from the murderous aura inside. However, the bearded man did not show any caution in his hands, as if it was just an ordinary material. Even the murderous aura released from the Jinling Wansha Iron did not seem to have much effect on him.

Watching the bearded man's skillful operation, Qingyang could not help but secretly feel lucky that he could meet such a skilled weapon refiner in the floating duckweed illusion. With them, he could exert stronger strength in the next two levels and have a greater chance of breaking through to the end.

Soon half a day passed, and the bearded man's refining was nearing the end. Suddenly, nine spiritual lights flashed, and nine fierce murderous auras were released, instantly breaking through the sky. Qingyang was not affected much because he was a little far away, but the bearded man was right in front of him and was scratched without any defense. However, there was no expression of anger on the face of the bearded man. Instead, he showed a faint smile, with a sense of relief, a sense of accomplishment, and a strong sense of pride.

The bearded man waved his hand, and the nine Golden Spirit Ten Thousand Killing Swords on the ground fire pit flew out together and inserted next to the other thirty-six long swords. The swords gathered together and actually made a gentle humming sound at the same time, filling the sky and the earth. The surrounding spiritual light bloomed, releasing countless sword shadows, which surrounded the thatched cottage and looked very beautiful. At this time, the five giant swords in Qingyang's body were sensed and also made a subtle humming sound. Then the swords inside and outside the body responded, as if they were having a cordial conversation.

After an unknown amount of time, all the long swords stopped humming, and the forty-five swords that were originally inserted into the sides of the bearded man suddenly flew into the sky and shot towards Qingyang at the same time. Faced with this situation, Qingyang was not panicked at all, because he had already felt that these long swords would not pose a threat to him. Sure enough, after the swords came to Qingyang, there was a flash of light and shadow, and all of them entered Qingyang's dantian, and attached to the five magic swords originally in Qingyang's dantian, as if each giant sword had nine more sword patterns on its blade, and it did not appear crowded or messy at all.

Qingyang felt carefully that the five giant swords were still as controllable as before, and the secondary swords on them could also be driven at will. With a movement of his mind, the five giant swords flew out, and with another movement, dozens of long swords scattered into the air. The sky is filled with sword shadows, and this formation alone can intimidate the enemy. The Great Five Elements Sword Formation is indeed well-deserved, and it directly raises Qingyang's strength to a new level.

After obtaining the Great Five Elements Sword Formation recorded at the end of the Five Elements Forging Immortal Art in Shenyingyuan, Qingyang had practiced it. He also tried to use a low-level spirit sword instead of the secondary sword to cast it. The power was indeed greater than the Five Elements Sword Formation, but it was not as powerful as the Five Elements Sword Formation. The energy is limited, and it is extremely consuming of spiritual energy and true energy. One activation almost drained Qingyang's spiritual energy and true energy, scaring him so much that he never dared to try it easily again.

Now that he had used it again, the power had increased by several levels. Although it was very difficult to use, it was not to the same level as before. Only then did he realize that it was not a problem with the sword formation, nor with his own strength, but with the previous one. It’s caused by not having a matching secondary sword.
