Chapter 216

He had already asked the teacher about this beforehand. The teacher gave him this heavy ruler, and how to deal with it was entirely up to Xiao Huohuo.

Perhaps because of the weapon, he would experience far fewer arduous trials, but he believed in his perseverance...

Moreover, having a sword but not using it is one thing, and having no sword to use is another.

"Don't rush to thank me. Reforging this weapon requires extremely precious materials, and even I don't have many."

Reforging a weapon isn't as simple as just hammering it around. You have the main material, but you still lack other materials to assist you.

Only in this way can its potential be fully realized.

What materials are needed?

Xiao Huohuo asked instinctively.

"... You wouldn't understand even if I told you, this place doesn't exist."

Yun Li shook her head. Xiao Huohuo didn't have any valuable materials that she coveted. The fighting techniques others desired, like the Burning Severance Technique, held little allure for her.

He also couldn't produce the materials needed to forge the sword.

"That..."

These words made Xiao Huohuo frown slightly. He naturally knew that to forge a powerful weapon, the materials required would be extremely precious. But wouldn't that mean there was no way to do it in the short term?

However, Yun Li's voice the next moment made Xiao Huohuo feel relieved.

"Alright, I can help provide these ingredients, but in return, I want fifty, no, a hundred skewers that taste just as good as these!"

Yun Li didn't expect him to come up with suitable materials; the ones she could find were extremely rare in the entire Monster Beast Mountain Range.

After thinking it over, he decided to let Xiao Huohuo's skewer-making skills were no worse than his alchemy skills.

She quite liked it.

"Alright, don't even mention a hundred strings. As long as you can forge a satisfactory greatsword, I'll take care of all your future strings."

Upon hearing Yun Li's request, Xiao Huohuo agreed almost without hesitation. Compared to a top-tier Divine Weapon, what was feeding Yun Li some sweets?

"That's not necessary..."

Yun Li shook her head. She wouldn't stay here forever. After a while, she would part ways with him, and she wasn't sure when they would meet again.

And for some reason, this conversation reminded her of someone else.

Zhiyan...

After quickly finishing the remaining skewers in a few bites, Yun Li didn't waste any time and directly asked Xiao Huohuo for the heavy ruler.

Then, having found a suitable location, they prepared to begin forging the swords directly.

Although there is no satisfactory flame or the tools needed to forge the sword, it should not be a big problem to completely reforge the sword blank.

"Should I leave here?"

Seeing Yun Li take out one sword-forging tool after another, Xiao Huohuo was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that she could forge swords right here.

But thinking of what the teacher said, perhaps forging a sword is like refining an elixir.

To others, the alchemy cauldron is extremely important, but to a true master alchemist, the key lies in one's own abilities and control over the flames.

Other external things are not as important as you might think.

The same principle applies to Yunli's sword forging in front of us, right?

"Whatever you want..."

Yun Li simply examined the heavy ruler in her hand, looking down without glancing at Xiao Huohuo beside her, and casually replied.

She didn't care if others stole her sword-making skills. If it were that easy to steal someone's skills, then there would be more than just a few top craftsmen on the Xianzhou.

Having received Yun Li's reply, Xiao Huohuo did not avoid the question.

Although he was already one of the few alchemists on the mainland, he was also very interested in Yun Li's sword-forging skills.

This is definitely a discipline no less important than Yaoshi, but I don't know if I have the talent for it. Both require manipulating fire, so theoretically they might have some similarities, right?

At the very least, control over the flame is required.

Before long, Yun Li had a pretty good grasp of the material and temperament of the heavy ruler, so she stopped wasting time and directly took out a strange flame!

Destruction Heterogeneity...

Since there is no suitable flame, she has to use this as a substitute for now.

To control the burning of the Destruction Heterogeneity sword blank, she must control the intensity of its burning to prevent it from being completely destroyed by the destructive force, which is extremely demanding for Sword Forger.

Especially since this is not a normal flame; its burning is destructive.

It was only by possessing the Remembrance and experience of Yun Li, the genius Sword Forger, that it was able to barely control it.

~~~~~

16

Chapter 16 is about the sand scattered from the body of the King of Amber.

(Teacher, what kind of flame is that? Why do I feel so uncomfortable and unwell when I look at it?)

After Yun Li took out that Destruction Heterogeneity, Xiao Huohuo's body instantly broke out in goosebumps, as if he felt an extreme terror.

That flame was like the manifestation of the end of all things.

(It's like fire but not fire, I'm not sure either, but it's not some kind of Beast Fire, nor should it be a strange fire, it seems... it's simply a manifestation of the rules of destruction...)

The Old Medicine also noticed the flame in Yun Li's hand and couldn't understand its existence either.

Its danger is undoubtedly greater than that of most strange flames; it is less a flame and more a manifestation of the rules of destruction.

(To use such dangerous flames to forge weapons... either they are highly skilled and daring, or they are just fearless.)

(If one is not careful, not only will the weapon materials be destroyed, but the Sword Forger himself may also not survive.)

Of course, the exact situation of the flames was uncertain, but the Old Medicine had a rough idea of what was going on based on his experience.

"..."

Listening to the teacher's explanation, Xiao Huohuo did not speak again. He just stood there quietly watching Yun Li forge the sword, while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings so as not to disturb the girl in front of him.

Especially those magical beasts, you never know when they might appear...

Forging in such a dangerous place, and using such dangerous flames, Yun Li's actions can be described as somewhat risky.

Yun Li was unaware of what Xiao Huohuo and his apprentice were thinking; her attention was completely focused on forging the sword.

However, she wasn't afraid of any magical beasts disturbing her. Even if they did appear, they wouldn't affect her. They... would be dead before they even got close to her.

After feeling that the sword blank was almost ready, Yun Li took out a huge iron hammer and placed the sword blank on the prepared table for special hammering.

After thinking for a few seconds, the girl took out a small handful of yellow crystal sand. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was enough to give the weapon an extraordinary performance.

After slightly disrupting its structure with flames, Yun Li began to use her unique forging techniques to integrate it into the sword blank...

(Little guy, you're in luck.)

Noticing what Yun Li took out, Old Medicine suddenly felt envious of his apprentice, who was able to know such a person even in the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

More importantly, he won her favor by using some spiritual fruits and received such a generous reward.

(Teacher, what are you saying?)

While keeping a close watch on the surrounding magical beasts and observing Yun Li forging the sword Xiao Huohuo heard her teacher's voice and was a little confused.

(The thing that little girl took out was extraordinary. Although I couldn't see through it, it seemed to contain a great miracle.)

(That's an extremely rare substance, even on the entire Dou Huo Continent, and it's actually been directly incorporated into the heavy ruler you were forged.)

Such effort and reward is something Old Medicine has never encountered before.

(Is that thing really that valuable?)

Xiao Huohuo's eyes widened. He had never imagined that the crystal sand Yun Li had taken out would be something precious.

He never expected it to be so precious, even his teacher was surprised. This made him even more eager for the weapon that Yun Li had forged for him, and he also remembered this kindness...

"Finally, I've successfully integrated..."

Yun Li wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at the weapon that was about to take shape, feeling incredibly excited, wondering what level it would reach.

To be honest, Yun Li didn't use any purple-quality materials, but these things were related to the Aeon.

Yun Li initially did not intend to use this material, but rather the material for the Destruction Antimatter Legion. However, during the forging process, she discovered that there was a material that was more suitable for it.

In other words... Scattered Star Sand!

This item is only green quality in the game, and she only gets blue items when she draws it, so there are quite a few of them. But that doesn't mean it's ordinary; on the contrary, it's more valuable than some purple quality items.

Because it was the sand that fell from the body of the King of Amber when he swung his hammer.

It is important to know that Pier Point guarded Qlipoth's celestial orbit without ceasing, waiting for a miracle that would occur once every few decades or even more than a hundred years: a shower of stardust that would fly up as the giant hammer fell.

To the King of Amber, it is but a speck of dust; but to others, each grain of sand holds the essence of Preservation.

At this moment, the essence of King of Amber's Preservation was completely integrated into the reforged heavy ruler through Yun Li's hammer blows.

Once the weapon was fully formed, Yun Li immediately placed it into the prepared Earth Milk. The greatsword's terrifying heat instantly evaporated the entire vat of Earth Milk, but after evaporation, it cooled down.

Holding this brand-new greatsword in its new form, it not only retained its important training benefits for Xiao Huohuo, but actually became even more powerful.

Like the previous scimitar, this is not its final form, and it also possesses strong growth potential.

However, its owner needs to activate the Preservation power it contains; otherwise, it cannot unleash its full power.

"System, is this weapon up to standard?"

Holding the heavy sword, Yun Li practiced with it and discovered its immense potential. It could not only influence the power of the earth beneath her feet, but also control gravity.

Whether it's using gravity to train one's physique or to exert gravity pressure on the enemy.

More importantly, once its internal Preservation power is activated, it is enough to make its owner invincible to a certain extent.

It cannot be broken without a force dozens of times greater than one's own.

Even so, it still has room to grow...

So Yun Li inquired about the system's appraisal results. This heavy sword definitely met the criteria for Sword Collection. As long as Xiao Huohuo used it to make a name for himself, his progress in clearing the game would definitely increase significantly.

[Assessment passed.]

This sword can be added to item number 1111!

The system voice rang in Yun Li's mind. Just as she had thought, although it was different from the previous scimitar that directly threatened Dou Zong and Dou Zun.

However, it has more outstanding capabilities and greater potential.

If its full potential can be unleashed, the Preservation power it displays will be enough to safeguard the entire continent single-handedly.

Of course, achieving this step is not easy.

"Number 1111, that's a good number!"

Seeing that number 1111 of the Sword Collection Encyclopedia had been lit up, Yun Li was in a good mood.

As expected, you can't just look at the quality level of the gacha items. Although this is only a blue item... it feels much better than the materials Buli People before.

"As expected, the forging was successfully completed."

"Here you go! I hope you won't let it down, otherwise I'll snatch it back no matter where it is."

Yun Li walked up to Xiao Huohuo with the heavy sword in her hand, and seeing his eager eyes, she handed it to him directly.

But she didn't forget to warn him to treat his sword well.

A sword is not just a weapon, but also family and friends.

Therefore, Yun Li strongly disapproved of those bad people ruining the Precious Sword. If Xiao Huohuo treated the heavy sword badly, she would definitely take it back.

She hoped that every sword could meet its destined user, so that it would not disappoint the sword's heart.

After all, this is something we'll be spending our lives together.

"Absolutely not, I promise!"

Xiao Huohuo knew Yun Li's attitude towards swords, and after receiving the weapon, he made a very serious promise.

"Yes, I believe you!"
