Niu Gangfeng and Shi Wenjie couldn't be bothered to come inspect, so they tossed the task to Jiang Baishun. That left Xu Yi rather disappointed.
After checking everything over, Jiang Baishun recorded the progress with the Ruyi Pearl, then threatened and berated Xu Yi before leisurely taking his leave.
He knew his master, Niu Gangfeng, disliked Xu Yi, so naturally he had to stand on the same side as his master.
"Going by your current pace, I think a great demon will come within two months at most. They'll surely take action themselves and remove your Spiritually Communicating Treasure. Whether you succeed or fail, you'll have to stake your life on it. It all comes down to these next two months."
As soon as Jiang Baishun had left, Huang Mei warned him.
In truth, Xu Yi didn't need the warning. He knew that both his opportunity and his danger lay within these next two months. He had desperately delayed the process of removing the Spiritually Communicating Treasure, but he could no longer hold it back.
If he forced himself to delay any longer, he would only arouse the Golden Roc Demon King's suspicions. And if the Golden Roc Demon King came here in person to oversee the work, the last glimmer of hope he had would be snuffed out.
So Xu Yi couldn't allow anything to go wrong.
As soon as Jiang Baishun left, he began refining again. This time, he had prepared both spirit liquid and potent restorative pills. Even if it cost him half his life, he had to finish refining the final Purple Firmament Sword.
In fact, it took just seventeen days for Xu Yi to complete the refinement of the last hundred-plus Purple Firmament Swords. The whole process went remarkably smoothly, without a single failure.
