Chapter 1845: Chapter 922: Sword Embryo

“Take good care of yourself.”

The loss of a drop of essence blood made Luo Yixuan’s fair face slightly pale. Chen Mobai gave her a bottle of elixir refined by Qing Nu, waving his hand to signal that she could leave.

“Disciple also takes leave.”

Jiang Zongheng, who was on the side, also spoke up.

“Go check on Wenbo, and let him come over. I will help upgrade his magic artifact.”

After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, Jiang Zongheng immediately nodded.

Before long, Liu Wenbo arrived.

Chen Mobai used Rank-5 Black Scales to repair his arm guard, which now consisted of twelve pieces of black scales. However, it no longer activated the internal engraved Azure Water Sky Net Grand Spell and purely relied on the hard nature of the black scales to resist attacks.

This was originally the function of the arm guard magic artifact, but from now on, it needs to be renamed as the Black Scale Arm Guard.

Next came Liu Wenbo’s lifebound flying sword. The Scepter of Azure Ripples was also refined by Chen Mobai with a piece of Rank-5 Mysterious Nether Cold Iron. As Liu Wenbo’s cultivation level increased, the flying sword would completely refine and fuse the cold iron, supporting the flying sword’s upgrade to Rank-4.

After Liu Wenbo left, besides consolidating his realm every day, he diligently practiced with his lifebound flying sword.

That day, Xiao Yuli, who had just returned from a trip in Northern Abyss City, happened to see Liu Wenbo in the courtyard, holding his flying sword and inhaling spiritual energy, which left her looking surprised and puzzled.

She clearly remembered that this flying sword previously suffered severe damage to vital energy because it was resisting the heavenly tribulation and its spiritual light was dim.

But now not only was the spiritual light more radiant, even the dark sword scar on the sword body felt threatening to her. It seemed that once this flying sword’s power erupted, even she, a cultivator at Perfect Core Formation, would be unable to stop it.

How could this be?!

As the Saintess of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Xiao Yuli inherited the strongest artifact refining techniques in this holy land and was already a Fourth Rank Artifact Refiner at a young age, one of the authorities in identifying various magic artifacts.

She observed for a long time to suppress the shock in her heart.

She discovered that in just three days, Liu Wenbo’s third-rank lower-grade flying sword suddenly leapt to third-rank superior-grade, even giving the impression of being able to upgrade to Rank-4 at any time.

To achieve this in such a short time could only be the work of a Rank-5 Artifact Refiner Grandmaster!

“Xiao Daoist Friend, what a coincidence!”

At this moment, Liu Wenbo, having completed his sword training for the day, stood up and saw Xiao Yuli standing not far on the road, and greeted her courteously.

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to spy, I just got fascinated by Liu Daoist Friend’s flying sword.” Xiao Yuli apologized somewhat embarrassedly, as in the Tianhe Realm, it’s easy to cause misunderstandings by watching someone cultivate and practice their magic artifact.

But really, if one delves into it, it was Liu Wenbo’s fault, as Xiao Yuli had never seen a cultivator practice so openly in a courtyard.

“No, not at all, it’s my oversight.”

Liu Wenbo also realized this point and apologized in return. In his impression, only members of their Five Elements Sect resided at the North Abyss Mountain Peak, so he always felt very at ease.

“This flying sword of Liu Daoist Friend, may I ask which artifact refining grandmaster repaired it, and could you introduce me?”

Xiao Yuli hesitated but eventually asked.

Rank-5 Artifact Refiners; even in the East Continent, there are only a handful.

Previously Yi Yuan Dao Palace had two, the Great Elder Wu Ming and the Mountain Lord of Fire De.

After the Great Elder Wu Ming ascended to immortality, only the Mountain Lord of Fire De was left, but the latter’s Rank-5 Artifact Refiner status was achieved by partnering to refine a Rank-5 Artifact with the former, and his real level was just around the quasi-Rank-5.

And Xiao Yuli, while standing outside the courtyard earlier, carefully appraised Liu Wenbo’s Scepter of Azure Ripples and found the refining technique of this flying sword far exceeded her imagination. How could a fifth-rank material perfectly integrate with a third-rank flying sword?

Moreover, the third-rank flying sword could also dominate, letting the fifth-rank material act as an auxiliary. Using the Five Elements’ biochemistry method, Liu Wenbo, as the Sword Master, refined it, slowly elevating the essence of the Scepter of Azure Ripples.

She could understand this concept, but couldn’t conceive how to achieve it.

She even felt that even her deceased master, the Great Elder Wu Ming, wouldn’t have such artifact refining skills. Even if informed of the same method, at most he would use materials of the same rank to assist in the flying sword’s enhancement.

On this Scepter of Azure Ripples, Xiao Yuli saw many techniques she couldn’t fathom, but they manifested perfectly in front of her.

Since entering Yi Yuan Dao Palace, besides cultivating Primordial True Qi, she aspired to master artifact refining techniques.

Therefore, she presumptuously asked to meet this mysterious Rank-5 Artifact Refiner.

“It was refined by my master. If Xiao Daoist Friend wishes to see him, I can ask for you.”

Liu Wenbo said a statement that made Xiao Yuli’s eyes widen.

Could it be Emperor Chen Qing crafted it?

Did the Five Elements Sect have Rank-5 Artifact Refining techniques heritage?

Xiao Yuli remembered clearly that the Great Elder Wu Ming had mentioned that during the sect’s division, only some fourth rank artifact refining techniques were shown to Li Zhongji.

Could it be from the Longevity Sect?

The inheritance of Emperor Chen Qing in the East Continent couldn’t escape the keen insights of those interested. Besides the Yi Yuan True Monarch inheritance obtained by Li Zhongji, there was also the legendary Longevity Sect inheritance.

And as the Saintess of Yi Yuan Dao Palace, Xiao Yuli was even clearer that the reason Yi Yuan True Monarch could establish a holy land and ascend to become immortals was because he acquired the foundation of the Longevity Sect.
