A month later, Liu Xiaowen emerged from seclusion, having successfully broken through to the second level of Qi Refining.
After being steeped in secret silver hidden water and tempered with earth baleful fire, the Fire Tiger Fang in his hand had advanced to mid-grade Qi Refining rank.
He had given the Starflow Flame to Senior Brother Qiyun. Wang Qiyun was quite enthusiastic and had spent the past few days studying that Qi Refining-rank ding fire.
"Xin metal is supple and harmonious, and secret silver hidden water has the power to transform it. Refining this Dharma Sword with it should allow the sword to bear great sun radiant flame."
The spiritual flame formed from that seal script was only at Qi Refining rank, comparable to Liu Xiaowen's cultivation, yet it possessed many wondrous properties.
This great sun radiant flame was deep crimson on the outside, with a speck of Jin brilliance within. It possessed the natures of both bing fire and greater yang, making it extraordinarily profound.
Knowing how precious this flame was, Liu Xiaowen had no intention of using the speck of greater yang nature hidden within it. Instead, he stirred its outer flames, making it resemble an ordinary bing fire to conceal its true nature.
He rode the wind out of Frostreturn and went to Skyblue to pay his respects to his master. From afar, he saw his master and Martial Aunt Si'an waiting on the mountaintop.
After a brief discussion, they settled on a plan and rode the wind out of Green Luo together.
According to their agreement with Fan Huayan, they would meet at Cold Legacy Cliff near Jade Flow. Located south of Flat Lake, it was precisely where the cave abode had emerged.
There had been considerable activity in the Plainlands over the past few days.
