Inside the Immortal Ruins.
Chen Yu had spent a long time tinkering at the Artifact Forging Platform.
In the end, he rather clumsily grafted the hidden weapon onto the longsword. Since it was an "external attachment," it did not interfere with the Spirit Sword's normal use.
But the problem was...
"This hidden weapon is far too obvious."
The rectangular box was embedded in the hilt, making the sword look as though it had grown a tumor. The opening that fired the concealed arrows was also a little too large, making it quite conspicuous.
"If only I could integrate the arrow-launching mechanism into the hilt."
At that thought, Chen Yu immediately removed both the hidden weapon and the Spirit Sword's original hilt, then began making another artifact blank out of clay.
Time passed.
There was no sense of time inside the Immortal Ruins.
At last.
Chen Yu picked up the Spirit Sword.
From the outside, the longsword's hilt appeared slightly larger than an ordinary one, but without examining it closely, no one would notice anything unusual.
Whoosh!
Chen Yu willed it.
True qi flowed into the sword.
In an instant, an extremely thin, sharp arrow shot out.
It embedded itself in the target ahead.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Yu nodded.
"There are still a few flaws, and I haven't managed to conceal it completely, but getting this far on my first attempt is already pretty good. I can improve it gradually."
Holding the Spirit Sword, he examined the opening in its hilt.
He injected another stream of true qi.
Whoosh!
A concealed arrow shot out.
This time, however, the arrow flew from the end of the hilt toward the wielder.
"If the wielder uses the Spirit Sword normally and injects spiritual power into it, the arrow will shoot toward them
