This person cultivates Sword Control Techniques; logically, he should lack this kind of top-grade metal material. Why would he take it out? Usually, this kind of material is very tempting to sword cultivators.
This piece of Gold Essence Stone is probably worth several magical treasures. Moreover, it's available on the market but has no price.
Seeming to see Zhang Ling's expression, Tu Fei tossed the Gold Essence Stone in his hand and chuckled. "Fellow Daoist, don't worry too much. Although this Gold Essence Stone is valuable, you saved my life, Tu Fei, so it's not an exaggeration to consider it a thank-you gift. Furthermore..."
Saying this, he hesitated slightly, but then looked at Zhang Ling with sincere eyes and asked, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, is your Natal Magic Treasure the few flying swords you just released?"
"Indeed." Tu Fei's words made Zhang Ling's expression shift, but he still nodded. Then he heard Tu Fei sincerely say, "Fellow Daoist using flying swords as your Natal Magic Treasure is quite common in the cultivation world. But I just observed your flying swords, and it seems the materials used are very special and not fully sharpened."
"Oh, is there such a saying?"
"How should I put it? Actually, I'm not very proficient in refining artifacts, but I often pay special attention to magical treasures like flying swords for sword cultivators. In my opinion, although your flying swords are not weak, they seem to lack some metallic sharpness. This Gold Essence Stone can greatly increase the power of your flying swords by at least 30%."
Thirty percent power, Zhang Ling couldn't help but be moved. He looked internally at the situation inside his dantian. At this moment, within the Yin-Yang Gourd in his dantian, several cyan flying swords were slowly moving.
The Yin-Yang Gourd is his Natal Magic Treasure. He refined these flying swords to better utilize the cyan and white energies in the Yin-Yang Gourd.
In Zhang Ling's view, his flying swords are much stronger than ordinary flying sword magical treasures. But it seems that, as Tu Fei said, their power is not very strong.
Part of the reason is naturally because these flying swords were just refined, and the time spent nurturing them is still very short. Another reason is that the materials he used to refine these flying swords are indeed, as this person said, not ordinary artifact refining materials. They were refined using gourd seeds as the main material.
Those gourd seeds were special in themselves. At the time, Zhang Ling chose these gourd seeds because he valued their exceptional hardness, making the refined flying swords not easily broken. He didn't consider other aspects too much.
Now it seems there may indeed be certain flaws.
After all, during the previous battle, Zhang Ling faintly felt that the power of his flying swords was not too strong, and they were somewhat insufficient to deal with true high-level cultivators.
If it's really like what Tu Fei said, and integrating the Gold Essence Stone into the flying swords can increase their power by about 30%, then his strength will undoubtedly increase a lot.
Then Zhang Ling discussed this issue with Tu Fei. Under his careful questioning, Tu Fei told him everything he knew and explained many sword refining techniques of sword cultivators.
In the cultivation world, although flying swords are very common, there is a type of sword cultivator who specializes in cultivating Sword Control Techniques, and their strength is among the best among cultivators of the same level.
Some powerful sword cultivators can withstand several cultivators of the same level, and even kill enemies beyond their level.
Zhang Ling has been cultivating alone all along and rarely has the opportunity to exchange experiences with peers.
The two of them talked for a whole day, and the topics of conversation were not only flying swords, but also some cultivation experiences.
After a conversation, both of them gained something. Zhang Ling not only had a deeper understanding of sword cultivation, but also had many insights into the path of cultivation.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the two ended their conversation and left the desolate island together, heading towards Myriad Manifestation City.
......
More than ten days later, after arriving at Myriad Manifestation City, the two separated.
Zhang Ling stayed in Myriad Manifestation City for more than half a month, collecting a lot of materials before returning to his Fire Cloud Island.
As soon as he returned to the cave, he began to retreat. This retreat took him more than two months. When he came out again, his face was full of joy, as if he had encountered something happy.
Next, he rested for a few days and then took a lot of artifact refining materials into the Earth Fire Stone Chamber again. In the following period of time, Zhang Ling did not take a step out of the Earth Fire Chamber.
Until one day a year later, a loud bang came from the volcano where the Earth Fire Chamber was located. A cyan light burst directly from the mountain and shot straight into the sky.
Then the cyan light suddenly dispersed and turned into hundreds of blue sword lights, attacking another hundred-zhang-high volcano next to it.
A series of rumbling noises echoed in the sky. The volcano was directly attacked, and earth and rocks splashed.
"Chop."
Suddenly a low shout, countless sword lights condensed together into a cyan giant sword more than seven or eight zhang long, flashing and slashing on a prominent rock on the mountain.
I saw that the huge rock, which was more than twenty zhang wide, slid down and separated from the mountain, smashing to the ground with a bang. Looking at the place where the sword light slashed, the rock surface was smooth, showing that the cyan sword light was extremely sharp.
Then the cyan giant sword instantly dissipated, and a dark cyan light flashed and stopped in front of Zhang Ling.
This is a three-foot-long flying sword. The sword body is dark cyan overall, with golden patterns engraved on it, looking exquisite. And at the edge of the sword, there is a layer of cyan and white color. As this layer of spiritual light flows, the surrounding air is cut, and there is a rustling sound of wind breaking.
Zhang Ling stretched out his hand and gently flicked the long sword, and the flying sword immediately made a soft cry.
"Not bad, the power of the re-refined flying sword has indeed increased a lot, and the attack power is nearly 40% stronger than before."
The golden lines on the flying sword are the spiritual patterns formed by integrating the Gold Essence Stone obtained from Tu Fei.
The Gold Essence Stone was quite heavy. During this year, Zhang Ling has been re-refining seven flying swords.
Four of them have been refined, and the remaining three flying swords, there is not enough Gold Essence Stone, so Zhang Ling put them aside for now. He can only wait to find other Gold Essence Stones to refine them.
Now that he has four re-condensed flying swords as attack magic weapons, his strength has undoubtedly increased a lot.
Zhang Ling's hand flashed with cyan light, and the flying sword was put into his body, and then turned into a yellow light and returned to his cave.
A few days later, Zhang Ling looked at a pile of objects placed on the table. At this moment, he was holding a jade slip in his hand and carefully reading the information inside.
This jade slip records the life story of a cultivator surnamed Xiao.
This is an unremarkable disciple of a small family. After fortunately establishing his foundation, he met several peers and ventured into the desolate region together.
Then this person's experience can be said to be extremely bumpy. He was first betrayed by his companions. After escaping with his life, he had a great opportunity and found a hidden cave of an ancient cultivator. He obtained a lot of cultivation resources from it and became a Golden Core cultivator after some hard work.
