I'm determined to become an immortal!

More than five months later,

Having completed the forging of the Cold Moon Arc Sword three times, He Sheng gracefully left the Wanshou Pool Water Mansion and headed straight for the Poisonous Swamp to the south.

In the past six months, he has not only been refining weapons, but also thoroughly sorting out the ideas for the top-grade magic weapon that he improved based on the "Blood Transformation Shadowless Blade", and drawing up process diagrams and listing various precautions.

First, regarding the materials for refining weapons, He Sheng planned to focus on three main materials.

One is the remaining two-foot-long, venomous fang of the Black Jade Blood Python, which gleams with a ghostly blue luster;

Both are the venom sacs of the Black Jade Blood Python, which are the size of a millstone and still contain terrifying toxicity.

Thirdly, the centipede's hook-shaped mandibles have venom glands that complement the black jade blood python's potent venom, producing a more corrosive mixed venom.

There are also two kinds of auxiliary materials.

The first is "Azure Phosphorus Sand," a second-tier mid-grade material obtained from the Xiajiang branch's secret vault.

Secondly, he plans to give up one-third of the three-hundred-year-old greenwood root that he obtained from the previous gathering of high-ranking cultivators at Nanshan Society.

Although this magical artifact is an improvement upon the "Blood-Transforming Shadowless Blade," its properties are actually vastly different.

The original Blood-Transforming Shadowless Blade was primarily for killing, emphasizing sharpness and stealth;

The core of He Sheng's improved magical artifact lies solely in the word "poison".

Since the goal is to refine a highly poisonous magical artifact, it is naturally impossible to start the work in the Water Palace. Otherwise, if one is not careful, the spiritual spring will be contaminated, and that would be a huge loss.

After thinking it over, He Sheng remembered that when he went to the Poisonous Swamp to search for the lair of the Black Jade Blood Python, he had seen a pool of colorful poisonous water that shimmered with spiritual light, and there was still a lot of the Black Jade Blood Python's aura in it.

"That pool of poisonous water has already acquired a spiritual quality, and it's probably no less potent than ordinary spiritual water. Moreover, its aura matches that of the Black Jade Blood Serpent, making it perfect for crafting this magical artifact."

While pondering this, He Sheng went straight into the depths of the poisonous miasma swamp.

He made no attempt to conceal his late-stage Foundation Establishment aura; the immense spiritual pressure pressed down like dark clouds, startling the first-tier demonic beasts hiding in the swamp into scattering and fleeing.

When they reached the edge of the poisonous water, He Sheng's divine sense revealed that there were no more demonic beasts in the entire poisonous swamp.

He Sheng found an empty spot, sat down cross-legged, and did not rush to begin.

He glanced at the water clock in his palm, his gaze settling on the water droplet for the "Art" category.

[Tier 1 High-Grade Refiner: 1561/3000]

(Total cultivation time: nine years, six months and nine days)

By continuously forging the Cold Moon Arc Sword using the stacking forging method, his weapon-forging skills improved by leaps and bounds.

"However, the Frost Moon Stones obtained from the Lower River Branch's secret vault are almost depleted. After crafting this top-grade magic weapon, I should head to Yuanxia Immortal City to replenish my spiritual materials."

He has been cooperating with the Sitong Chamber of Commerce for more than ten months. Once this top-grade magic weapon is finished, it will take more than a year, after which he can exercise the exclusive right to sell it.

"By then, the auction will be starting soon."

A thought flashed through my mind.

He Sheng then looked at the water clock itself.

[Current available total practice time: 5 years, 6 months, and 14 days]

The "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique" continues to provide a stable amount of time for AFK (away from keyboard) gameplay.

"Judging from his appearance, he should be able to break through to become a second-tier weapon refiner. After all, once he reaches the second-tier weapon refiner level, his chances of refining this top-grade magic weapon should be much greater."

He Sheng immediately had a thought and began to frantically inject his cultivation time into the weapon refiner's skills.

A moment later,

Once the general training time is reset to zero, the weapon refiner's proficiency will increase significantly, but it will still be slightly lower.

[Tier 1 High-Grade Refiner: 2890/3000]

(Total cultivation time: twelve years, three months, and nineteen days)

"A difference of 110 proficiency points means 84 fewer days of training time."

He Sheng now fully understands the operating mechanism of the Time Leak. It has an internal operating logic. For example, in terms of [Art], there is a daily proficiency improvement rate, which is related to comprehension.

Once he has this data, he can quickly convert it.

The 84-day cultivation period, calculated using a time rate of 2, translates to a general cultivation duration of 168 days.

He Sheng turned his gaze to the water droplets of the "Qinglan Water Elemental Skill".

[Qinglan Water Elemental Skill, Level 6 (Mastery): 159/300]

(Total cultivation time: ten years, ten months, and twenty-three days)

During his spare time while refining the Cold Moon Arc Sword, he consistently practiced breathing exercises to improve his Qi, which naturally led to an improvement in his "Clear Wave Water Element Technique".

The time rate of "Qinglan Water Element Technique" in the Foundation Establishment stage is also 2. He Sheng immediately made a slight reversal and finally completed the upgrade to a second-level low-grade weapon refiner!

[Tier 2 Low-Grade Refiner: 1/6000]

(Total cultivation time: twelve years, six months, and thirteen days)

The state of "Qinglan Water Elemental Skill" then changes to:

[Qinglan Water Elemental Skill, Level 6 (Minor Success): 196/200]

(Total cultivation time: ten years, seven months, and twenty-nine days)

"The weapon refiner has finally reached the second tier. Once this weapon refining is completed, he will be able to begin cultivating the 'Divine Weapon Bottle Forging Technique'."

He Sheng chose the "Blood-Transforming Shadowless Blade" blueprint to improve it because he was considering his future cultivation of the "Divine Artifact Treasure Bottle Forging Method".

The original "Blood-Transforming Shadowless Blade" involved two spatial restrictions, and its restriction pattern structure was quite complex, making it one of the most difficult to forge among top-grade magical artifacts.

He Sheng did not drastically alter the forbidden patterns on the Blood Transformation Shadowless Blade, and the two spatial restrictions were completely preserved, which was also the difficulty he faced in refining it this time.

This is another reason why he raised his weapon refiner rank to the second-tier low-grade before starting to refine weapons.

A few days later.

After He Sheng had roughly digested the series of improvements brought about by the weapon refiner rank, he took out the dark blue venomous fang and threw it into the swamp first.

"Then let's begin."

The purification process still begins, but because the materials are poisonous, the poisonous spiritual water is actually used to refine the toxicity of the Azure Fang itself.

First came the venomous fangs, then the hook-shaped mandibles of the centipede, and finally the venom sac of the black jade blood python.

A month and a half had passed by the time the millstone-sized venom sac was condensed to only half the size of a fist.

...

After three months,

It's sizzling!

With a soft sound,

The entire swamp seemed to boil, billowing out a colorful plume of poisonous smoke.

However, the poisonous smoke condensed and did not dissipate, as if it were locked above the swamp by something.

The water below had lost its spiritual light, and all its original colors had faded away, leaving it as clear as a pool of water.

A strangely shaped, dark blue blade swam back and forth in the clear water like a fish.

The blade is unusually shaped not only because it is curved like a tooth and its tip is sharp like a fang.

Furthermore, the blade seemed to have scales and feathers, with a wing made of countless tiny scales on each side of the blade.

"It's time!"

After more than four months of continuous refining, even He Sheng was somewhat exhausted, but now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

"rise!"

The dark blue blade suddenly leaped out of the water, its wings curling inward to form a mouth, drawing in all the lingering poisonous smoke from the swamp.

follow closely,

The water below began to swirl, and a wave shot skyward, engulfing the blade. At the same time, the wave quickly transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, resembling a magnificent water dragon.

The blade, like the head of the water dragon, hovered in front of He Sheng, facing him directly.

He Sheng smiled and said:

"Don't be so naughty in the future."

As he spoke, he extended his hand.

The water dragon dispersed instantly, its dark blue blades and wings folding together, obediently landing in his palm.

Success!
