Upon inspecting his Law Treasure, he discovered that his Demon Slaying Sword, which had been with him for a long time, was cracked, with several obvious cracks on the blade, rendering it unable to function Law Treasure.

This was Law Treasure from the Shining Sun Peak, and it's been destroyed like this.

Although I haven't used it much, it's mostly used as a deterrent, but it's truly one of my most prized assets. Looking at the extent of the damage, I wonder if it can be repaired.

"It can be repaired with this person's blood, and its effects can be re-forged," Liusu said. "This Demon -Demon Slaying Sword isn't very useful. Its owner is too traditional; this sword can only unleash its full power against demons. Against ordinary enemies, its power is negligible. You couldn't even kill Guan Ji with this sword back then. If it truly possessed the power of Shining Sun Peak sword, how could Guan Ji have escaped?"

Qin Yi thought about it and realized it made sense. The Demon-Slaying Demon Slaying Sword consumed a great deal of magical Law Power. When he used the Qin Xin sword, he could drain it completely in one go, but its power was not as good as he had imagined. He hadn't tried using it to slay demons yet, and he had used it a few times to fight people, but the consumption was huge and it wasn't as strong as he had expected.

"My suggestion is to reforge it, downgrading the Demon Slaying Sword's effectiveness against demons and monsters, keeping its power level at the mid or late Huiyang stage, while increasing its regular power, forging it into a more well-rounded offensive magic Law Treasure. This will also reduce your consumption, making it a daily necessity."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement. He didn't actually use any everyday Law Treasure; he mostly relied on his Wolf Tooth Club. His most common Law Treasure was the Yunxiu Flute, but the Yunxiu Flute wasn't meant to harm people; it was merely a medium for releasing music. When it wasn't appropriate to use music, the Yunxiu Flute was purely a collectible. Furthermore, the power of the music was linked to his own cultivation level. The Yunxiu Flute only provided an amplification effect and the convenience of playing a tune simply by pressing one hole; it didn't need to be played.

This is different from Law Treasure like the Demon Slaying Sword.

The Demon Slaying Sword, a powerful Law Treasure that injures both itself and its enemies, is too energy-intensive and can only be kept in storage; it's not commonly used. If it could be refined into a weapon suitable for regular use, even with a reduction in power, it would be worthwhile.

As for the even more powerful trump card, it is naturally the newly acquired Qian Yuan items.

That sword that almost blasted him to pieces.

Qin Yi weighed the small sword in his hand and examined it closely. It was similar in size to the Demon Slaying Sword, not even the size of a palm. It seemed that all the sword-type Law Treasure forged by Daoist cultivators were like this... The difference was that the Demon Slaying Sword appeared to be made of wood, while this sword appeared to be made of metal. It was not shiny and sharp, but rather heavy and thick, somewhat like a heavy sword. Qin Yi recognized the layers of engravings on the blade; they were all patterns of Ancient Talisman.

The sword's name, Zhan Guang, is engraved on the hilt.

The name is so-so.

It's clear that the two swords have different damage patterns. The Demon Slaying Sword is actually an evolved form of the traditional peach Peach Wood Sword used for slaying demons. It has a killing Technique Method engraved on its blade, and due to its material, it's primarily designed for exorcising demons. You could say it's a medium for invoking the Technique Method. To reforge it, you could add other materials and modify the engraved Technique Method's effect.

This Zhan Guang Sword is made of a very special material that contains an extremely compressed form of pure energy. When released, it unleashes a violent burst of compressed energy from the five elements, and also inflicts physical damage from the sword's material. It also possesses high growth potential, allowing energy to be continuously added to it, as long as suitable materials are found and refined.

This is different from the pure physical Sword Qi of Sword Cultivator.

It seemed to have a different radiance than the divine sword that Minghe had used back then, but Qin Yi was too inexperienced to know the specific principles behind Minghe.

There are countless ways in the world, and it's impossible to say which one is better. What Qin Yi has seen is just a drop in the ocean.

Besides the Zhan Guang Sword, there are countless Spirit Stones, pills, and materials. There's also an identity token that needs no further mention, as well as a bunch of miscellaneous Law Treasure of unknown function. Among them, the lowest level is Huiyang, and several are Qian Yuan Level. It's truly a windfall. Upgrading from a complete set of weapons wouldn't be a problem.

Liusu said, "Some of these treasures are suitable, and some are not. We'll choose which ones to refine slowly. Refining the Demon Slaying Sword and the Zhan Guang Sword will have to wait until you've recovered from your injuries. It might take a long time, so there's no rush... Now, take a look at this..."

Qin Yi looked at what Liusu was pointing to—a secret manual.

He hadn't seen anything in the form of a secret manual in a long time; they were usually contained in jade slips. Seeing Liusu's serious expression, he seemed to realize something, opened the manual, and flipped through it.

Then his eyes widened instantly.

This is definitely something from the same source as the Nameless Secret Manual.

The Nameless Secret Manual is related to "power," while this one is probably related to "divine power," including techniques like traveling the world, chasing souls, summoning and returning the dead, and even the Seven Arrows with Nail Heads, which can take lives invisibly. Unfortunately, most of them only have names and no methods of practice.

Among the techniques involved is the Soul Arrow that this person used to launch a sneak attack. Although its effect seemed weak, it was actually quite advanced because it was only broken by the Liusu. This is because most people use the concept of "illusion" when it comes to the soul, like the Bewitchment Spell, which works by influencing the opponent's soul in some way. However, this Soul Arrow treats the soul as a "real" concept, which is a huge leap in terms of cognition.

This is equivalent to turning sound into a sonic attack.

"This is the ninth chapter of the Chaos Origin, only part of which can be considered a law; most of it is actually just a technique, specifically about soul arts. Some of it I don't even know, like resurrection and such..." Liusu said, gesturing with her sleeve, "It's a pity this manual is even more incomplete than yours, only a tiny bit, mostly just titles, and I can already do the little arrow technique that's recorded... This tattered book is useless except for whetting my appetite..."

Qin Yi: "..."

"The real value lies in the fact that you now have a specialized method for Forging Soul," Liusu said with a smile. "In terms of specializing in forging the divine soul, this is more professional than the Creation Golden Chapter, and you can refer to it. It just so happens that you are currently lacking in this area."

Qin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Does the Creation Golden Chapter also belong to this series? Which chapter is it?"

"The second chapter," Liusu said leisurely. "The first chapter is about destruction, and the second is about birth. In fact, all things originate from this process. These two chapters are enough; the others are just supplementary. Congratulations. Even back then, not many people cultivated one or two chapters at the same time, and you actually obtained the ninth chapter."

"... How many of these have you studied?"

"I don't call it learning, I call it enlightenment, all of which are my own profound enlightenments. You can say that my enlightenment matches a certain chapter, but don't insult me by saying that I've learned a certain chapter."

"Can you stop showing off?"

"No. Then there would be no point in living."

Qin Yi was so angry that his whole body started to ache again.

Seeing him convulsing in pain, Liusu said calmly, "There's no rush to take stock of the spoils. You should be healing your wounds now. Do you need some advice on how to heal?"

"Want."

"That Ice and Fire Secret Chamber is not suitable for your current healing environment, and it's also meaningless for your continued cultivation. I suggest you find another place... such as the Kun Peng Purple Mansion."

Qin Yi was taken aback. "Kun Peng Purple Mansion... isn't that related to Forging Soul? It's said to be beneficial for the Demon Race to comprehend the path to sainthood..."

Liusu said, "Yes, if you want it, I want it too, Cheng Cheng wants it too. Let's go together."

Qin Yi said irritably, "So what does this have to do with healing? You were the one who wanted to go."

"Yes, because once you're in that kind of training ground, you won't be thinking about all sorts of frivolous things all day long, and you'll be more serious," Liusu answered matter-of-factly. "Your current state isn't even suitable for dual cultivation therapy... That secret chamber has a large bed in the center and a hot spring next to it. You're going to heal your wounds? Go play with snakes!"

Qin Yi blushed, but had no words to say. He could only leave the dungeon dejectedly and go back to find Cheng Cheng.

As soon as he stepped outside, he met Ying Li, who bowed respectfully upon seeing him. "His Majesty has instructed me to strengthen the defenses here. Your Queen, please rest more and do not overwork yourself."

Qin Yi: "???"

Liusu Su sat expressionlessly on his shoulder, her tone cool as she said, "Demons are a race that values gratitude greatly. You've probably heard many tales of fox demons repaying kindness... Cheng Cheng fell for you back then largely because you saved her human form. Now, your actions have shown kindness to the entire Demon Race. You risked your life for this, and you've earned their genuine respect. Congratulations, you are now a true and unparalleled Peerless Demon Queen."
