Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 213 Sword Refining
Is the pure blood of Guixu truly so valuable that just a few drops can rival a rare magical artifact?

Not necessarily.

What constitutes a "good thing"? People have different understandings of what constitutes a good thing in different environments. Generally speaking, what I need in the current situation and is difficult to obtain is considered the most precious.

However, the difficulty in obtaining it often means that its level is higher than that of the cultivator, which brings another small problem.

It cannot be used to its fullest potential.

Like the worm-like monsters in the Blood River, they are born with blood beads and absorb the power of pure blood from birth.

But so what? Their innate limitations prevent them from fully utilizing the blood of the Sea Patrol God, so much so that they can never condense demon crystals in their entire lives. They can only be born and die in the Blood River, becoming part of the Sea Patrol God's metabolism.

As for Duan Junhai, if he hadn't happened to have the Netherworld Flower, the Guixu Pure Blood would have rapidly depreciated in value for him, and might even have brought him trouble.

As a seasoned veteran with modern thinking and rich experience, Pei Xia understood this principle well. That's why he didn't bother calculating the profit or loss of those ten drops of pure blood when making the transaction in the Jade Palace.

Even in the future, he will never skimp on anything that is needed.

"The most useless treasure is the treasure that rots in your pocket," he said.

Lu Li stood on an open space, looking at what Pei Xia took out of the jade, her face starting to twist: "You're obviously trying to excuse yourself."

She pointed at the things Pei Xia had spread on the yellow-green straw: "The most useless thing is definitely this!"

What Pei Xia took out from the jade was a square piece of cloth folded perfectly.

Pear was initially puzzled. Wasn't she supposed to be going to find a weapon-refining furnace? What did it mean by bringing out a blanket?
When Pei Xia spread out the "blanket," she truly understood what it meant for the world to be vast and full of wonders.

"I think a weapon-refining furnace, at the very least, should be a furnace, right?"

Pear looked at the square blanket spread out and pointed to the intricate array patterns on it: "You can draw a weapon-refining fire array on a blanket and call it a weapon-refining furnace?"

Pei Xia didn't argue anymore, but just sighed sadly: "Two pieces of jade are really too small to fit in the space. Even if you sell a furnace, I can't fit them in."

"no……"

Lu Li wasn't incapable of understanding this hardware predicament. She squatted down beside the blanket, clutching a corner of it: "The question is, can this thing really be used for refining weapons?"

This is like asking Pei Xia, "Can you ride an engine on the highway without a car?"

Pei Xia replied, "Okay."

"The function of a stove is nothing more than three things: stable and controllable, concentrated firepower, and energy saving."

Pei Xia patted his chest and said, "With the skills I learned from my master's wife, I propose a plan to use the pure blood of Guixu as the core of the weapon fire that drives the magic array."

Pear is a sixth-level vegetarian master. Although she is not an expert in weapon crafting, she quickly understood Pei Xia's meaning.

As long as my entire weapon-refining fire array is constantly unleashing extreme temperatures without limit, then stability, concentration, and economy become meaningless.

Pear rubbed her furrowed brows and after a while asked a new question: "I can't control it."

The fire array was drawn on the carpet. With the full power of the Guixu pure blood, Lu Li, with her small arms and legs and her Su Shi cultivation, simply couldn't control it.

What if the "furnace" flies up in the air?
"Don't worry, I've got some help," Pei Xia said.

Pear's first thought was Lao Han.

But then she thought again, she still needed to refine that magical artifact, the long nail, and she couldn't let Old Han see this today.

Pei Xia clapped his hands, and four burly fishmen came out.

Chen Fengcai's four disciples: Qi'an, Sailong, Linsheng, and Yongchang!
Unlike ordinary fishmen, these four were trained in martial arts by Chen Fengcai and all possessed martial arts skills. Although their cultivation levels were not high, each of them had one horn, so they should be able to keep them under control.

"You'll just stay the same, just help me with the support."

Pei Xia didn't waste any more words. Seeing that An Sheng and Long Chang had each pressed down on a corner of the carpet furnace, he immediately took out a blood bead, activated his spiritual power, and sent a thin blood line into the center of the formation.

"Fire...start!"

At his command, the entire weapon-refining fire array roared like a beast, and then, blood flames surged into the sky, solidifying as if they were real objects!
Lu Li's face flushed red in the light. She pointed at the firelight and asked, "Is this right?"

This is fucking a pillar!
Pei Xia couldn't help but tighten his face. He subconsciously looked down at An Shenglongchang. He knew that these four fishmen were not highly skilled and was afraid that they would not be able to suppress the raging blood fire.

But to his surprise, in addition to spiritual power, the four people seemed to have another invisible force in their hands, similar to "sword energy" but stronger and heavier, pressing down on the carpet furnace without moving an inch!

Pei Xia was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it. With a wave of his hand, he threw the Sea-Opening Golden Needle and the two long nail magic weapons into the fire.

"Bring out the Frost Iron and the Sea-Washing Silver Sofa, and I'll refine the golden needles!" Pei Xia called out to Lu Li.

Pear has already reached the sixth realm, and her precise control over spiritual power is in no way inferior to Pei Xia's. Even if the blood flames obscure her vision, she can perfectly separate the two by relying solely on her spiritual power perception.

Pei Xia's situation was slightly more complicated. He didn't simply want to melt the golden needles and shape them into a sword. The magic weapon itself had its merits, and he wanted to preserve its original power as much as possible.

Based on his experience of refining the Twin Spiders last time, Pei Xia originally thought that the process might take several days. That's why he specially brought people to a place far away from the village to refine it, in order to avoid being discovered by Han Youzhi.

But to his surprise, the pure blood array fire was so powerful and intense that he basically completed the process of shaping it into a sword in just one hour.

Therefore, those skilled craftsmen who specialize in refining weapons are always searching for demonic flames and divine fires, and they really are useful!
The golden needle had taken the shape of a sword. Pei Xia raised her hand and summoned the separated Huanhai Silver Sand from Lu Li.

This substance is a top-grade spiritual material. Once integrated, it quickly sank into the golden sword. As the flames exerted their power, dark silver spots appeared on the sword's surface like ink spreading, eventually covering the entire sword and completely refining it into a dark silver color similar to iron.

"It's done?" Pear's eyes widened.

Pei Xia shook her head: "Golden needles with silver sand, it's too soft. Give me one of those Frost Iron Chains!"

Frost Iron is not gold or silver, and it took Lu Li another hour to refine it into a lump of dark blue molten iron.

"Be careful, you need to wrap it with spiritual energy, otherwise it will be burned to ashes by this fire."

"I know."

Pei Xia carefully manipulated the dark blue Frost Iron, slowly letting it seep into the spine of the sword.

The Sea-Washing Silver Sand truly lived up to its reputation as an excellent adhesive. The Frost Iron melted upon entering the sword, flowing from the spine to the tip and splitting on both sides, solidifying on the two blades of the longsword.

"Apply blood!"

Pei Xia called out, and Pear immediately picked up the blood bead.

A quarter of the blood droplet was first given to the bull's head, half of which Pei Xia used to create a fire array. The rest was then poured onto the magical weapon longsword he was refining.

The pure blood of Guixu seemed to suddenly ignite a burst of flames, almost dissipating the mist in an instant.

Fortunately, Pei Xia reacted quickly and guided the blood mist back into the sword.

However, the pure blood of the Great Demon Guixu was not very stable in the raging fire. Pei Xia tried his best, but could only make it scatter irregularly on the sword.

Amidst the raging flames, the thin lines of blood resemble veins.
