As the words fell, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said, “No rush for that.”

Then he looked at Yuchi Fei and said, “I’ve looked it over before. Although your broken sword is extraordinary, it’s still lacking to exchange for the Revival Creation Pill I hold. Let me first have a closer look at the sword.”

These words caused Yuchi Fei’s joyful expression to freeze briefly. After his face went through slight changes, he finally took out the silver-white broken sword, handed it to Zhou Chun, and said, “The sword is here, Senior, please inspect it.”

Zhou Chun raised his hand to take the silver-white broken sword and infused a small amount of his own mana into it.

Instantly, silver light on the sword surged, and faintly, a sense of joyous consciousness could be perceived, like a child tasting sweets.

Clearly, compared to the Golden Elixir Early Phase cultivator who didn’t practice a Metal Element Cultivation Method beforehand, Zhou Chun’s mana created far greater delight within the residual spirit of the broken sword.

Taking the opportunity of infusing mana, Zhou Chun carefully examined the internal condition of the sword.

The situation was roughly as he expected. The prohibitions within the sword were largely intact; only a portion was missing, leading to its inability to unleash full power.

If not for this, how could a damaged Dharma Treasure exhibit power rivaling that of a pseudo-Dharma Treasure?

“This sword is an excellent sword, but alas, it’s ruined!”

With a sigh of regret, Zhou Chun withdrew his mana and handed the broken sword back to Yuchi Fei.

This left Yuchi Fei anxious.

As he urgently grasped the broken sword, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, “Senior, if you truly fancy this sword, you can actually seek out the master sword refiners of the Nine Elements Sword Sect to repair it. My ancestors left records saying that the sect’s Sword-Forging Heavenly Pool has a mysterious capacity to restore damaged swords. This sword’s damage is minor, so there’s real hope of using the pool’s power for full restoration!”

“The renowned Sword-Forging Heavenly Pool of the Nine Elements Sword Sect is something I’ve naturally heard of. Yet you also know how arrogant those sword cultivators are. Not to mention my modest origins, even fellow cultivators from major factions would have to pay a steep price equivalent to crafting a Dharma Treasure, just to ask them to repair such a sword!”

Zhou Chun shook his head repeatedly, expressing his polite refusal.

How could Yuchi Fei not realize this? If the sword was so easy to fix, his ancestor, a Golden Core Stage cultivator, would have sought out the Nine Elements Sword Sect for repair long ago!

Seeing Zhou Chun unmoved, Yuchi Fei gritted his teeth and upped his offer. “Junior also possesses a set of ancestral Exquisite Sword Control Technique records. I am willing to exchange it along with this sword. Senior, what do you think?”

Hearing him even offer up his ancestral Sword Control Technique as collateral, Zhou Chun understood that Yuchi Fei likely had no more resources left to exploit.

He nodded slightly and said, “Very well, as the saying goes: granting others convenience is granting oneself convenience. I shall do you this favor!”

“Thank you, Senior! Your favor is as if rebuilding my life; junior shall remember it forever!”

Yuchi Fei’s face lit up with delight, and he quickly bowed with profuse thanks.

Soon after, Zhou Chun raised his hand and produced the Revival Creation Pill, handing it over to Yuchi Fei.

Opening the alchemy bottle, Yuchi Fei only needed a whiff of the medicinal fragrance to feel his whole body’s blood surging fiercely. Even his severed left shoulder gave subtle signs of reaction.

Immediately, he understood that Zhou Chun’s previous words weren’t exaggerated in the slightest–this was indeed an extraordinary Healing Holy Pill capable of regenerating flesh and bones!

He bowed continually in gratitude to Zhou Chun again, handing over the jade slip recording the ancestral Sword Control Technique and the broken sword together, then left the teahouse gleefully to enter seclusion for healing.

After Yuchi Fei left, Zhou Chun looked at the broken sword in his hand and revealed a smile.

Of course, he had no intention of seeking members of the Nine Elements Sword Sect to repair this sword. Not only would he likely be unable to do so, even if he could, it would be entirely unnecessary!

Because, from beginning to end, Zhou Chun never intended to restore the sword; rather, he had his eyes on the materials used to forge it.

Through his prior inspection, he had already confirmed that the primary material used to forge this sword was a rare Spirit Gold known as Taibai Gold Silver Star Iron, which was precisely one of the materials he needed to craft his Lifebound Dharma Treasure, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron!

Since the sword was essentially forged entirely from a single chunk of Taibai Gold Silver Star Iron, Zhou Chun would simply need to dissolve it and refine out the other blended materials, transforming it into raw material for his Lifebound Dharma Treasure.

Having now obtained both Starfall Gold and Taibai Gold Silver Star Iron–two invaluable Spirit Golds–the materials for Zhou Chun’s complete Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron were more or less assembled.

Next, all that remained was for his Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron to succeed, and he could finally begin crafting the Lifebound Dharma Treasure he had long anticipated!
