Vol.2-Chapter 221 – Secret Method

The sword’s name was the Cold Underworld Sword.

When Zhao Jiuge heard the name, he frowned and muttered it a few times. He found the name very good and pleasant to listen to. It was very in line with the materials used to forge the sword and his own attributes.

Thinking about this, he felt his blood boil. He was finally going to have his own life flying sword!

“Senior Sister, that name is very good. Did you come up with it?”

Fu Hongling revealed a proud smile and pretended to be angry. “Of course I came up with it. Don’t you know who your senior sister is? With this life flying sword, I believe your strength will increase greatly. If only you were at the Nascent Soul Realm. Once you refine it in your purple palace, the power of the sword will change greatly.”

“Hehe, very soon. The Nascent Soul Realm?”

After Zhao Jiuge finished speaking, his eyes were filled with yearning. He believed that he would soon reach the Nascent Soul Realm as well. It was only a matter of time.

Then Zhao Jiuge and Fu Hongling rushed straight toward the Sword Casting Hall. They went down the stairs and arrived at the entrance. Zhao Jiuge wanted to see if the sloppy young man was there. He didn’t see the sloppy young man but instead the other young man he saw during his first visit here.

After asking, Zhao Jiuge found that the sloppy young man had either figured something out or was stimulated to not stay in the sect, waiting for death. Instead, he used his more than a decade of savings to buy spirit tones and treasures to head out to explore the world. He vowed that he would either die outside or make a breakthrough before returning to the sect.

Zhao Jiuge couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Time could make a lot of things disappear and also change a person. He would soon come into contact with the outside world, where life or death situations coexisted with wealth. Soon, he would also go out and experience the world.

Fu Hongling was silent the entire way here, and she directly took Zhao Jiuge down. She seemed very familiar with the path, and no one stopped her.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Zhao Jiuge got the Purple Ji Chaotic Thunder Armor last time. He saw Master Ou Yezi with a serious expression and looking very tired. When Ou Yezi sensed Zhao Jiuge and Fu Hongling arrive, he let out a sigh and looked at them.

“Why did you take this long? Stinky brat, come here and register yourself as the owner. I’m certain you will be satisfied.

After Ou Yezi finished speaking, he waved his hand and a ray of spirit light shot toward the furnace for refining treasures.

The restriction on the furnace was destroyed and a sharp aura erupted from within. There was a flash of colorful light, and accompanying the light was a phoenix cry.

The three of them looked at this scene with great interest. However, compared to Zhao Jiuge, Fu Hongling and Ou Yezi were much more serious. They were on guard against the flying sword trying to escape. The colorful light showed that it was indeed a spirit treasure, which was a forgone conclusion from the materials used.

When the phoenix cry echoed, a two-meter-long sword that was three fingers wide flew out. Its body was crystal-clear blue and white and was surrounded by a grey fog. There was a red gem on the handle, which completed the sword.

After this flying sword flew out, it shined brightly and a blue and white silhouette of the Chilling Ice Luan Phoenix appeared. Each time it glowed, it let out a very pleasant phoenix cry.

“A top-quality spirit treasure flying sword!” Ou Yezi let out a cry of shock and was moved. He didn’t expect it to be a top-quality spirit treasure and to even have the silhouette of the spirit beast. It was very close to a treasure spirit of an immortal treasure!

Although spirit treasures were rare, they weren’t the most precious. After all, any disciple with some strength had a spirit treasure flying sword as their life flying sword. Spirit treasures were divided into lower, middle, and high-quality.

Normally, the best spirit treasures were high quality ones like Fu Hongling’s Heavenly Phoenix Sword. A top-quality spirit treasure not only required good materials, it also depended on luck. They rarely appeared, and even Ou Yezi was somewhat shocked by this.

There was also a hint of shock in Fu Hongling’s eyes, but she soon calmed down. She waved her right hand and a ray of light immediately captured the escaping flying sword. She then pulled it before Zhao Jiuge.

Fu Hongling’s eyes were a bit cold. “You weren’t able to escape my palm while you were alive. Now that you’re dead, don’t even think about it. Jiuge, quickly, drip your blood on it.”

The Cold Underworld Sword was entangled by Fu Hongling’s spirit force, and the sword continued to tremble. It struggled left and right but could not break out. Suddenly, the cry of a phoenix echoed, but it was still useless.

Zhao Jiuge had never seen something like this and was dumbfounded. The ferocious aura, the shadow of the ice phoenix, and Master Ou Yezi’s cry told him that his life flying sword was extraordinary.

After hearing his senior sister’s words, Zhao Jiuge immediately reacted. He forced a drop of blood from the tip of his finger onto the Cold Underworld Sword’s body.

A drop of blood emitting golden light was suddenly absorbed by the sword. The sword stopped trembling and calmed down; even the phoenix cries died down a bit.

Zhao Jiuge suddenly felt a connection with the Cold Underworld Sword. He couldn’t help but feel emotional. This flying sword would be his life flying sword and perhaps would accompany him for his whole life.

Seeing that the sword had stopped struggling, Fu Hongling released the spirit force shackling it. She looked at the sword that was even better than hers with a smile of satisfaction. Zhao Jiuge had finally fulfilled one of his wishes.

Master Ou Yezi let out a snort. He stared at the Cold Underworld Sword and said, “Hmph, your luck is really good, you brat. You got a treasure that is very close to an immortal treasure.”

Zhao Jiuge lovingly touched the Cold Underworld Sword’s body. He smiled toward Master Ou Yezi and respectfully said, “I still have to thank the Grandmaster. Without the Grandmaster, such a powerful treasure would not have been made.”

Seeing Zhao Jiuge flattering him, Master Ou Yezi still had an angry expression and waved his hand. “You should thank your senior sister. You're very fortunate to have such a caring senior sister. I estimate that the biggest factor was the Chilling Ice Luan Phoenix soul essence, but it ending up as a top-quality spirit treasure is also your luck.”

Zhao Jiuge looked at Fu Hongling with a look of gratitude. There was no need for him to say such polite words to Fu Hongling. Some things just needed to be remembered in his heart.

“I refined this sword sheath with the excess materials. This flying sword’s aura is too strong, so if there is nothing important going on, don’t carelessly draw it.” After he finished speaking, Master Ou Yezi handed a black sword sheath to Zhao Jiuge. Although it looked simple and there was only a simple pattern on it, the faint glow it gave off revealed that it was made with extraordinary materials.

Master Ou Yezi waved his hand and took out his wine gourd to drink a few mouthfuls. He then muffled a few words while drinking. “I have given you the sword, and if there is nothing else, you can leave. If there are no better materials in the future, then don’t come looking for me.”

Zhao Jiuge accepted the sword sheath, and when he heard those final words, he felt his mouth twitch. Zhao Jiuge thought he would have to go experience the world before coming back here, or else he would not be able to afford it. After thanking Master Ou Yezi again, Fu Hongling and Zhao Jiuge left the Sword Casting Hall.

After leaving the Sword Casting Hall, Zhao Jiuge carried the Cold Underworld Sword on his back and looked like he was full of spirit.

Zhao Jiuge was wearing black clothes, had a black sword sheath on his back, and his long, black hair was tied up with a black cloth. His face was handsome and there was a faint hint of spirit light emitting from his body. He gave off a slightly ethereal aura, and he was slowly changing from the naive youth that he was.

On the way, the two of them shared the same sword and left the Sword Casting Hall. Zhao Jiuge suddenly thought of something and asked, “Senior Sister, how many sect contributions did the rest of the materials for the sword cost?”

Fu Hongling was a bit shocked that Zhao Jiuge remembered this but said, “Not much.”

Zhao Jiuge softly said, “Senior Sister, even if it's not much, you still have to tell me. I have to return them.”

Fu Hongling calmly said, “You don’t need to return them, they’re just a few sect contributions. Although the rule of the sect is that all disciples need to earn their own, you are the direct disciple, so you still get a bit of special treatment.”

Fu Hongling was worried that Zhao Jiuge would be suspicious and added, “Focusing on cultivating properly to improve your strength is more important than anything else. Sect contributions are, after all, only items and are not nearly as important as your own strength.”

Zhao Jiuge still felt like something was still weird, but he couldn’t figure out what. He didn’t know that the rest of the materials cost 20,000 sect contributions. Ou Yezi had only requested the best materials, or else he wouldn't have refined a top-quality spirit treasure.

Fu Hongling had already paid the 20,000 sect contributions for him. Last time, she was simply teasing him and didn’t expect him to remember it. This was a large amount of sect contributions even for her.

After a moment, Zhao Jiuge felt like they were going in the wrong direction. This was not the direction to Lotus Peak, which was right next to Nine Song Peak.

After determining their direction, Zhao Jiuge asked with some doubt, “Senior Sister, where are we going?” His clothes were fluttering loudly in the wind.

“We are going to the Mysterious Heaven Temple. Teacher is looking for you for something.” After she finished speaking, she took a profound look at Zhao Jiuge.

Whenever he heard that he was being called, he felt a mixture of joy and worry as he didn’t know what it was. He was still feeling some dread from last time and secretly hoped that it wasn’t something similar to before.

Fu Hongling seemed to notice the suspicion in Zhao Jiuge’s heart and softly said, “It’s mainly related to the grade of your spirit core. It’s likely that our teacher found a secret method to help you raise the grade of your spirit core to grade-8. There are few other small matters as well.”

Zhao Jiuge’s eyes widened. Was there really such a secret method? A grade-7 spirit core was already abnormal enough. If he could really upgrade to a grade-8 spirit core, it would be the first one in hundreds of years in the sect.

All of a sudden, Zhao Jiuge forgot about what kind of pain he would experience to increase the rank of his spirit core. Instead, he began to fantasize about after he raised his spirit core to grade-8.

Fu Hongling couldn’t help but smile at her little junior brother’s childish heart. There were many secret methods to increase the grade of one’s spirit core. The lower the grade, the higher the success rate. For Zhao Jiuge’s grade-7 spirit core, the chance of success was very low, and there were very few secret methods that could even achieve it.

Fu Hongling had tried it before herself. She had a grade-7 spirit core but failed in the end.

A ray of red light quickly flew through the clouds and quickly arrived in the sky above the Mysterious Heaven Temple.
