The Little Trinket for the Azure Edge Sword

Since her resurrection, the Immortal Fairy has suffered a series of setbacks. First, she tried to scare Lu Yang but was beaten up by Yun Zhi instead. Then, she tried to prove herself useful by controlling Lu Yang in a battle beyond his level, but was taught a lesson.

She now realizes that clinging to past experiences is not an option. Modern cultivators have a much more active way of thinking than those in High Antiquity times, and they have worked together to accumulate cultivation experience at various levels.

The latter was unimaginable in High Antiquity. Even among fellow disciples, there were open and covert struggles, mutual scheming, and competition for resources. How could sects and tribes unconditionally share their cultivation experience?

Oh, there is one exception: the Ancient Barbarian Tribe, who actually enjoyed discussing their cultivation experiences within their tribes.

Lu Yang stretched and got up to do a set of radio calisthenics, stretching his muscles and bones. His bones creaked and cracked, but he felt inexplicably comfortable.

Where are you going?

"Go to Hundred Refinement Peak and have a weapon custom-made."

Lu Yang arrived at Hundred Refinement Peak and saw that the canteen was as lively as ever.

The Immortal Fairy exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, the food at your Ask Dao Sect is quite good! So many disciples have come to buy food."

Lu Yang nodded. "The food quality is indeed quite good."

However, the purpose of this trip was not the canteen, but the Hundred Refinements Hall on the other side of the mountain.

The canteen sells commonly used weapons; while the weapons are good, they may not be suitable for everyone.

Thus, the Hundred Refinements Hall came into being, where master weapon refiners were stationed, specializing in selling custom-made weapons.

"You are... Senior Brother Lu Yang?" A surprised voice called out to Lu Yang at the entrance of the Hundred Refinement Hall.

Upon seeing the other person, Lu Yang suddenly realized, "You're Li Haoran, from the same year as me!"

In Lu Yang's cohort, there are three people with a single Spirit Root: Lu Yang with Sword Spirit Root, Meng Jingzhou with a single Spirit Root, and Li Haoran with Fire Spirit Root.

"Just over a month ago, I heard from Senior Sister Zhou Lulu that you were taking a bath in lava, and you've finally made it out?"

When the topic of bathing in lava came up, Li Haoran's expression turned grim, as if he were recalling some unpleasant experiences.

"I finally met Master's requirements: I learned to swim underwater in the lava, ate fire lizards alive, and successfully Foundation Establishment. I was just about to find Master to ask him what his next plans were when Senior Sister Zhou Lulu said she hadn't seen Master for three days and didn't know where he had gone."

Lu Yang wondered if the Fifth Elder and his master had a deep bond, and that the Fifth Elder was meditating with his master?

"After Foundation Establishment, you need to go to the Mission Hall to receive sect missions."

Li Haoran nodded; he had heard about this from his senior classmates.

"Do you know the way? I'll go with you." After all, Lu Yang called him Senior Brother Lu Yang, so Lu Yang had to fulfill his responsibilities as a senior brother.

"Then I thank you in advance, Senior Brother."

On the way to the mission hall, Lu Yang learned about Li Haoran's background. His parents were both cultivators, but their cultivation levels were not high, only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. When his parents learned that Li Haoran had Fire Spirit Root, they were overjoyed and spoiled him rotten.

This also contributed to Li Haoran's arrogance and impatient personality.

For example, when climbing Heart-Questioning Mountain, Li Haoran's Dao heart was not firm. Many people with worse aptitude than him reached the fiftieth step first, while he only succeeded in reaching the top last.

Lu Yang guessed that Fifth Elder Zhou Xin had seen through Li Haoran's flaws and had him soak in lava for a year to temper his Dao heart.

In retrospect, the results are remarkable.

In the mission hall, the two searched around but couldn't find a suitable mission for Li Haoran.

"By the way, do you know how to forge weapons?"

"Of course, my master said I already possess the top-tier weapon-refining skills of the Foundation Establishment Realm." Fire Spirit Root are best suited for weapon refining, Li Haoran spent a year learning weapon-refining knowledge in the magma.

"How about this? I'll post a weapon-refining task, and you can accept it. If you can complete the task, I'll also achieve my goal of refining the weapon." Lu Yang had already thought it through. The weapon refiners at the Hundred Refinements Hall start at the Golden Core stage and are very expensive, but the weapon he needs to refine doesn't require such a high-level weapon refiner.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang, you don't need to accommodate me. I'll come to the Mission Hall again in a few days."

Lu Yang shook his head. "I didn't accommodate you. I just happen to need to refine weapons, and you are the most suitable candidate for weapon refinement."

"Most suitable?" Li Haoran felt flattered.

Lu Yang nodded. "Yes, you're the cheapest."

Li Haoran: "..."

The two returned to Li Haoran's weapon-refining room. Lu Yang took out the Qingfeng Sword, which startled Li Haoran. The quality of the Qingfeng Sword was ridiculously high, far beyond what someone like him Foundation Establishment Realm, could modify.

"No, no, no, Senior Brother Lu, you should find someone else. My skills are limited; I can't forge this kind of sword."

Lu Yang knew he had misunderstood and laughed, "You've misunderstood. I'm not trying to forge this sword; I just want to add some decorative little parts to its exterior."

Li Haoran breathed a sigh of relief; this was simple. "Do you have the blueprints?"

"Have."

Lu Yang was prepared and took out a blueprint that was four meters long and four meters wide, which did not look like a "small part" at all.

When Li Haoran saw the blueprints, his expression became even stranger. It wasn't difficult to make, but this thing didn't look like an ornament at all.

At the very least, he had never seen decorations like this before.

"I'm preparing to learn flying sword techniques recently. After all, how can a sword cultivator not know how to use a sword? But flying around in the sky without any traffic rules is too dangerous. For safety reasons, I designed this blueprint."

"My plan is to sit inside a steel shell while I'm using the flying sword technique, with the flying sword mounted underneath as the power source."

"I'll install chairs inside the steel shell for sitting. Oh, and let's install two rows of seats. Once I master the flying sword technique, I can even take others flying."

"This thing is called a steering wheel; it can be used to adjust the direction."

"And windows too. Mortals can't easily make glass from sand, but it shouldn't be a problem for us cultivators to make glass, right?"

"Logically, there should be brakes, but since the flying sword is powered by me, there's no need to install brakes; a foot brake will suffice..."

"By the way, this big metal shell must be easy to install and disassemble, otherwise it will be inconvenient during combat."

Lu Yang explained in detail the function and crafting requirements of the small ornaments, which broadened the horizons of both the Immortal Fairy and Li Haoran.

"It's not that I'm afraid of heights, it's just that flying alone is too lonely, and I want to bring more people along." Lu Yang repeatedly emphasized that he wasn't afraid of heights. "Can you train?"

Li Haoran thought for a moment. Although the items on the blueprints were bizarre, they weren't difficult to refine. At most, he hadn't refined them before and was still a bit rusty, so he would need to try a few more times. "Yes."

"That's good. This is Xuanlei Iron, which can be used as raw material for refining."

"And this mask, you can refine it too, make it harder so it won't break easily." Lu Yang took out the tofu mask; he'd need a fake identity when he went out in the future.

"How about twenty contribution points?" Lu Yang offered a price.

Twenty contribution points and two thousand Spirit Stone —that's definitely not a low price.

Li Haoran accepted the task.
