Chapter 246 - Green Flames?
A day after the death of the undead king, the imperial palace was slowly being reconstructed. The Silveria Imperial Family also funded the reconstruction of all the establishments destroyed yesterday, making everyone cheer for their generosity.
The bustling life of everyone inside Beltran City continued as usual, but some of the residents still felt fearful after the event that happened yesterday. After all, even the imperial palace was not spared during that grand battle between two top experts.
Inside the Refining Hall of Jiu Shen’s wine store, several figures can be seen spectating a man as he was refining a broken sword. He looked calm as he pounded the broken sword with a forging hammer.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clanging sounds echoed inside the hall as the hammering continued.
"To think that master is also a Weapon Refiner... Don’t tell me he is also an Array Formation Maker?" Master Fengzi said with a look of admiration and awe. His decision to become Jiu Shen’s alchemy disciple was mostly under the influence of Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian, but he never regretted becoming Jiu Shen’s alchemy disciple. He learned a lot of things from him and he could even feel that he was almost at the level of an Alchemy Saint after training with his master for less than a month!
Qi Hongtian who was standing beside him nodded his head with a blank look. ’Master’s attainments in alchemy is already beyond my comprehension and even his attainments in the art of weapon-making doesn’t seem shallow. In fact, his sophistry and way of forging are many times better compared to those renowned Weapon Refiners I’ve seen...’ He muttered in his heart as he watched Jiu Shen repair the broken sword with magic-like movements.
The forging hammer that Jiu Shen was holding danced under his miraculous hands. He added all the ingredients he had collected to repair and upgrade this broken sword.
First, he added a few miscellaneous ingredients to improve the sword’s appearance. He casually threw the ingredients to the large anvil and melted the ingredients with a wisp of dark flame. The melted ingredients were then cooled down and pounded with the forging hammer. After that, Jiu Shen took out the bottle where he had put the soul of Elder Ming. A small mass of a white figure can be seen sealed inside the bottle. This was Elder Ming’s Immortal Soul.
Jiu Shen opened the bottle and muttered in an indifferent tone. "Reform."
Jiu Shen placed the Immortal Soul of Elder Ming within the sword and reformed it. He also erased all of Elder Ming’s memories and branded it with his own spiritual power. After doing this, Jiu Shen refined the sword using his true essence, making it even more compatible with the remnant soul of a Nascent God Realm expert.
’With the Lunar Star Rock, this sword would have an even greater potential since it would gain the ability to grow along with its owner.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself as he took out an ordinary-looking rock with rough edges.
He produced a wisp of black flame at the tip of his finger and flicked it towards this piece of ordinary-looking rock.
’Not enough. As expected of a Lunar Star Rock, even a wisp of my Abyssal Flames is not enough to melt it. Two more should do it.’ He thought as he produced more wisps of dark flame.
At this moment, the small piece of rock melted under the intense heat of Jiu Shen’s Abyssal Flames.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lu Sulan watched the entire refining process with both excitement and veneration. She could already imagine the might of the sword that Jiu Shen would be able to reforge. With the refining skills that he displayed, she was confident that the sword that her master would forge would be something beyond her expectations.
"According to master, this broken sword was an Origin Weapon in its peak. This kind of weapon is something that even a Nascent God Realm expert could only hope to possess. And with all the ingredients that master added to the reforging process, just what kind of sword could he make?" Lu Sulan softly muttered, but her words still entered the ears of everyone inside the Refining Hall.
"Origin Weapon? What’s that?" Can Ye muttered in a bewildered tone as he looked at his senior.
Lu Sulan shrugged and replied. "I don’t know what level that is, but from master’s tone, it should be something that exceeds the level of a Nascent Weapon."
"This weapon refining looks fun. I should ask master if he is willing to teach me the art of weapon making." Can Ye said with a shining gaze. He was already imagining himself forging a powerful saber in his own.
Lu Sulan chuckled when she saw the expression of her junior. She then shifted her attention back to Jiu Shen and exclaimed in awe when she saw the partially completed sword on top of the large anvil.
The sword’s blade had jade and ocean-like color that blended in perfect harmony. The sword’s handle had a dark jade-green color, giving off a refreshing feel to the sword.
"What a beautiful sword! I can’t bring myself to use such a beautiful sword to kill someone..." She uttered absentmindedly.
Can Ye nodded his head in agreement, and even the two old alchemists agreed to her words.
The sword that Jiu Shen was holding looked like an ornamental sword that should be displayed to bring splendor to one’s household, but since he was forging it as a weapon, its might should not be underestimated.
Jiu Shen cooled down the sword, causing a cluster of gray smoke to emerge.
After the smoke receded, Lu Sulan and the others inside Refining Hall gasped in shock after seeing the completed sword in Jiu Shen’s hands.
An intricately crafted sword with a beautiful jade and ocean-like pattern on its blade, but they suddenly felt that something was not so simple about this sword.
"Green flames?!" Lu Sulan exclaimed in shock when she saw the incorporeal flames gushing out from the sword.
