Transmigrating to the Qi Cultivation Path, I became an outdated Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He Sheng patted his waist, and three exquisite Cold Moon Arc Light Swords flew out of his storage bag.

"rise."

He Sheng made a hand seal with his fingertips, and each of the three swords was thrown into a mouthful of spiritual spring water.

The spring water gushed forth, engulfing the sword.

He then infused the refining technique recorded in the "Illustrated Record of Refining Yuan and Mastering Divine Artifacts" into the spiritual spring, and fine ripples immediately spread across the surface of the spring.

The first step in the art of refining is to purify and condense the magical artifact once more.

This step is more refined than ordinary refining, requiring the removal of impurities from the artifact itself while preserving its original forbidden pattern structure, thus making it more pure.

The Cold Moon Arc Sword was already of excellent quality, and its nature was relatively pure, so this step went much more smoothly than expected.

Just a few days later, the three springs began to emit brilliant spiritual light.

The three swords swam slowly in the spring water, their spiritual light intertwining and subtly resonating with each other, revealing a hint of spirituality.

Upon seeing this, He Sheng knew that the time had come.

"Next is the construction of the forbidden runes."

The forbidden pattern structure of the interlocking technique is incredibly complex.

First, each of the three swords is engraved with an empty seal to stabilize its own seal pattern framework;

Then, a special air barrier is used to connect the spirituality and spiritual core of the three swords together;

Finally, using a larger spatial restriction framework, the restriction patterns of the three swords were integrated into it.

If this step is successfully completed, the three magical artifacts will be truly connected, forming a complete set of magical artifacts.

He Sheng took a deep breath, visualized the subtle ripples to enhance his consciousness, and began to inscribe.

First, there were three air barriers, each embedded in one of the three swords.

He was very skilled at this step. He had already engraved the void restriction when he forged the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade. In addition, his recent practice of the "Divine Artifact Treasure Bottle Forging Method" made his understanding of void restriction more and more proficient. He completed the three void restrictions in one go without any hesitation.

Next, the Void Restriction was used to connect with the Spiritual Pivot.

This step is a bit more difficult, as it requires simultaneously drawing upon the spiritual power of the three swords, demanding a high level of spiritual awareness.

He Sheng steadied his mind and, with the blessing of the Mindful Ripples, his divine sense became as delicate as water. He locked onto the spiritual cores of the three swords one by one, and then used the forbidden patterns as a rope to slowly connect them.

hum...

The three swords trembled simultaneously, producing low, resonant sounds in the spring.

It took two whole days to complete this step.

The three swords are spiritually connected, already showing some degree of synergy.

Finally, there's the Great Airspace Restriction that forms the framework.

This airspace control system is more complex than the previous four combined, with its nodes as dense as a star network.

He Sheng had been carving for five days straight, during which his spiritual energy was greatly depleted, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing faintly.

As the last forbidden rune was completed, the three swords shone brightly, connecting end to end in the spiritual spring, slowly rotating, already possessing the aura of a complete set of magical artifacts.

He Sheng let out a long breath, rubbed his temples, and muttered:

"Fortunately, I have cultivated the 'Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Method' to the first level of perfection, and my Mindful Ripples Intent has also improved, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to persevere."

This was the first time he had completed five void restrictions in one go. His spiritual sense was extremely empty, and his head felt faintly throbbing, as if it were filled with something.

But it was completed after all. Although there were one or two minor deviations, they did not affect the overall structure.

"Now comes the final step."

He Sheng did not rush to make a move. He rested for most of the day and only after he was fully recovered did he turn his attention back to the three swords that were connected end to end in the spiritual spring.

The final step in the refining process is to embed the secret seal into the formed core of the refining system.

The secret chamber is not as complex in structure as the air chamber, but it is extremely ingenious.

If we had to draw an analogy, the void restriction is like building a skeleton, while the secret restriction is like adding a pair of eyes, directly determining whether a magical artifact can transcend the mortal realm and become spiritual.

He lightly raised his fingertips, and a wisp of divine consciousness transformed into an invisible carving knife.

He recalled the various descriptions of secret prohibitions in the "Illustrated Record of Refining Yuan and Mastering Divine Artifacts" and began to strike.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the engraving of the secret seal began, the three swords in the spiritual spring began to tremble violently, and the entire set of seals became shaky and seemed to collapse at any moment.

"The foundation of the Cold Moon Arc Sword is ultimately too poor." He Sheng frowned slightly, keenly grasping the problem. "First-tier spiritual materials are simply not enough to support such complex forbidden patterns."

He Sheng had already prepared a contingency plan for this situation.

He flipped his palm and took out a jade bottle, uncorked it, and a wisp of silvery-white fine sand poured out—it was the Divine Sand.

The divine sand fell into the spiritual spring and was swept into the sword by the spiritual water.

This sand has very special properties; it can stabilize the structure of forbidden patterns and compensate for the lack of load-bearing capacity of spiritual materials.

As the Divine Sand was gradually added, the previously precarious protective barrier stabilized, and the three swords stopped trembling.

He Sheng calmed himself down and continued to inscribe the secret inscription.

For several days in a row, my consciousness felt like it was being stabbed.

As the final stroke was made, and the seal was completely embedded into the core of the enchantment, the three swords simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious cry, leaping out of the spiritual spring and circling and spinning in mid-air.

He Sheng looked up and saw three swords standing in mid-air, their blades as blue as water, and the cold moonlight on their spines shining brightly. Between the opening and closing of the three swords, spiritual light intertwined like the moon's reflection in water, layer upon layer, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

The most amazing thing is that the three sword lights are intertwined, and the sword momentum is continuous like a tide. It seems that with just a thought, they can transform from one into three, and then merge back into one.

"It's done."

He Sheng nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the time clock in his palm.

The information displayed for the second-tier low-grade weapon refiner directly increased the proficiency by 80 points.

This number is identical to that used when forging the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade, confirming that the method of combining the three swords indeed elevated them to the level of top-grade magical artifacts.

He raised his hand and summoned three swords into his palm. The swords still trembled slightly, subtly conveying a sense of intimacy.

"Let's call it the Water Moon Heart-to-Heart Sword."

He Sheng used his divine sense to carefully perceive it.

This set of swords is indeed of extraordinary quality; in terms of spirituality alone, it far surpasses ordinary top-grade magical artifacts.

However, it is still far inferior to the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade.

When forging the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade, he used the venomous fangs and venom sacs of the Black Jade Blood Python and the hook-shaped mandibles of the Thousand-Legged Centipede, all of which were top-grade materials from second-tier demon beasts. The auxiliary materials were also Azure Phosphorous Sand and three-hundred-year-old Azure Wood Root. The extravagance of the materials used far surpassed that of the Water Moon Heart Sword.

In addition, perhaps because of the addition of the Divine Sand, these three flying swords had a hint of dark gold light hidden in their cold moonlight arc, giving them a somewhat mixed quality.

"I wonder if it will affect the quality of the [real water]."

He Sheng now has a better understanding of the intricacies of Dao artifacts.

The vessel for receiving the Dao through the Qi-absorbing Divine Channel does not emphasize piling on materials; rather, it prioritizes purity.

The purer the quality, the more it can bear the spiritual essence of destiny, and the easier it is to manifest its innate attributes when the vessel is completed.

This is precisely the most fundamental difference between Dao artifacts and ordinary magical artifacts.

He added Divine Sand to stabilize the set of seals, which allowed the Water Moon Heart Sword to be forged, but also sacrificed a certain degree of purity.

Thinking of this, He Sheng had an idea and took out the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade.

As soon as the strangely shaped, dark blue blade landed in my hand, the two wings on either side of the blade, made of tiny scales, fluttered slightly, as if they were alive.

He Sheng held it up to his eyes and probed it with his divine sense to sense it carefully.

The main ingredients for the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade are all related to "poison," and they are all top-grade poisons. In addition, he used the highly spiritual five-colored poisonous water from the Poison Swamp as the water for refining the weapon, so that it was never mixed with any impurities from beginning to end.

In this way, the 'poison' quality of this magical artifact becomes extremely pure.

"Poisonous water itself also falls under the category of [Turbid Water]." He Sheng said thoughtfully, "I possess the destiny of [Turbid Water], and by sheer accident, I actually refined this blade into a magic weapon with extremely pure [Turbid Water] properties. Even if it hasn't reached the level of a Dao artifact, it's probably not far off."

No wonder he could always vaguely feel a power resonating with him whenever he held the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade.

That's not an illusion, but a natural fit between destiny and nature. It's just a pity that there's a lack of corresponding techniques to bridge the gap; otherwise, it would have been able to go even further.

He Sheng put away the Blood Poison Mother-Child Blade and turned his gaze back to the Water Moon Heart Sword in his hand.

"Although there were some unsatisfactory aspects to my first attempt at the method of set training, I managed to succeed at least."

If this Water Moon Heart Sword were shown to Ying Ruyue, it might not meet her requirements.

He pondered for a moment, and then he had already made up his mind.

"We might as well refine it a few more times, and after we have thoroughly mastered the method of refining, we can then make an improvement plan."

"At that time, using higher-grade spiritual materials as a base, and eliminating the step of combining divine sand, the problem of purity should be easily solved."

With this thought in mind, He Sheng stopped thinking about it, put the Water Moon Heart Sword into his storage bag, and after a short rest, began a new round of stacking techniques.
