After separating from Ye Chenfeng.
Lu Li became noticeably more cautious.
The existence of cause and effect in the cultivation Immortal Realm is a fact that everyone accepts.
Ye Chenfeng is the kind of person who clearly has a lot of karmic entanglements.
It's best for him to avoid contact with them as much as possible.
but...
"Why do I always have this feeling... I'm about to see him again..."
Upon having the thought, Lu Li silent for a moment.
I've decided to stay here today and learn all sorts of skills; I won't go anywhere else.
The flying sword landed in the Pill Hall.
After paying the contribution to the disciple on duty.
Lu Li stepped inside and began learning Dao of Alchemy knowledge from the other disciples.
The initial introduction to Dao of Alchemy is not expensive; a single lesson costs only 5 contribution points.
Lu Li listened attentively to the two lessons, gained a slight understanding, and then went to the Formation Hall to learn two lessons on the introductory principles of Dao of Formations.
He also spent forty contribution points in the Scripture Pavilion to exchange for a basic outline of Dao of Alchemy and a basic outline of Dao of Formations.
Only then did he reluctantly return to his cave abode.
But as I passed by the General Affairs Hall, I thought about how much I had spent that day.
Having finally accumulated some contribution points, and with less than 100 left, I couldn't resist taking on a quest to make up for it.
With this thought in mind, Lu Li turned his flying sword around.
Arrive at the General Affairs Hall.
Although it was already evening, there were still many busy disciples.
Lu Li is now a weapon refiner, so naturally he will prioritize tasks in this area.
Soon, a quest to repair a flying sword caught his eye.
"Repair the flying sword, materials required, plus... 80 contribution points as a reward!"
"Repair requirements: First-tier high-grade flying sword, repair the damaged Artifact Inscription."
"Hmm? A high-level first-tier flying sword... That's a bit difficult."
"Generally speaking, only a master craftsman could be confident in this."
"However... if it's just about completing the Artifact Inscription..."
Lu Li put a great deal of effort into the design of the Artifact Inscription.
He was confident that he had seen Artifact Inscription on first-tier artifacts.
I think it should be able to be repaired without any problem.
He immediately took out his identity Jade Slip and received the mission and materials from the disciple on duty.
Return to the cave abode.
Once back in the cave abode, the protective array was activated.
When Lu Li took out his flying sword, he couldn't help but gasp.
"What... what are all these things?!"
Within his sight.
The flying sword, riddled with dents, was engraved with numerous patterns.
The patterns are so badly damaged that only a faint outline can be discerned.
"Is this... a speed trip or a speed crossing?"
"And this one... just half a pattern, it looks like armor breaking through, and also like breaking through the air..."
"This one is almost completely gone, how can we fix it!"
Lu Li was speechless, looking at it several times inside and out but still couldn't make it out.
It's difficult for him to make any specific repairs with the naked eye alone.
but...
"Perhaps Great Xia can help me compare them."
No matter how intelligent Lu Li is, he can't compare to a quantum computer that can perform hundreds of millions of calculations per second.
Using technological means to identify it should still be possible.
Thinking of this, he took out the jade pendant from his bosom and connected it to the Great Xia.
"Hello comrade, could you please help me compare the Artifact Inscription image on this broken sword?"
"Yes, we need to identify them all, the faster the better."
The words reached back to Great Xia.
The researchers quickly placed the dim, unlit flying sword above the spectrometer.
After 3D holographic scanning.
Quantum computers enable rapid analysis and comparison.
In less than half an hour, a detailed report was handed to Lu Li.
The indistinct Artifact Inscription on the broken sword in the report were now clearly identifiable.
It also comes with clear 3D projection images, such as Gale, Sharp Gold, and Resilience.
To his even greater surprise, an optimization suggestion was attached at the end of the report!
"After tens of millions of simulations using supercomputing, it was found that the original design of the Artifact Inscription used at the sword tip had approximately 3.7% internal loss in Spiritual Power transmission compared to the main pattern on the sword body."
"It is recommended to replace 'Penetration' with the 'Bone Crusher' Artifact Inscription, which has a similar effect but a simpler structure."
"It can increase the efficiency of Spiritual Power circulation by about 9%, and slightly enhance the overall speed and piercing power of the flying sword..."
Lu Li's eyes lit up.
"Truly worthy of being called our motherland..."
This kind of optimization scheme, derived through massive calculations, is something that traditional weapon refiners, relying on experience, would find difficult to accurately grasp!
For him, it was practically a cheating aid.
Without further hesitation, we began repairs following the report's instructions.
With a clear blueprint and optimization plan, the repair process went exceptionally smoothly.
When the last Artifact Inscription of the design was perfectly completed...
"Clang!"
The flying sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, its spiritual light flowing, surpassing even its former glory.
"It's done!"
Eighty contribution points earned!
Lu Li had stayed up all night working on the project, spoke excitedly.
Without taking a break, he went straight to the General Affairs Hall to hand in his task.
Seeing a full eighty contribution points added to his account, Lu Li was overjoyed...
After a long while, he held the newly repaired flying sword.
Ye Chenfeng was dumbfounded.
" Elder Jian... this flying sword feels even stronger than before I cultivated it!"
"You know what... it actually seems to be true."
Elder Jian's voice also carried a slight hint of surprise.
He started out as a swordsman and knew nothing about weapon crafting.
However, he was extremely knowledgeable about swords.
Even in his current remnant soul state, it's clear that the flying sword's power has increased by at least 10%!
"Such methods don't seem like something a first-tier weapon-refining master could do."
"Could it be... a first-tier weapon-refining master?!"
Ye Chenfeng picked up the conversation, his tone surprised.
Although a weapon-refining master is only a first-tier weapon-refining master, they can only serve weapon-refining cultivators.
But if one can Foundation Establishment... then, based on their understanding and insight into weapon crafting...
That would certainly enable the forging of a top-tier second-order magic Law Artifact in a very short time, or even the repair of a top-tier second-order magic Law Artifact.
Become a second-tier weapon-refining master respected by thousands!
Upon realizing this, both Elder Jian and Ye Chenfeng became excited.
Especially Elder Jian.
The reason he had Ye Chenfeng conceal his talents and remain at the Azure Pool Sect...
It was all for a second-tier top-grade broken sword that had been left here years ago.
The sword wasn't particularly valuable.
However, if it can be restored, it will unlock one of the treasures he left behind in the Western Continent!
This will allow him to quickly become stronger, helping him regain his physical body and avenge his great grudge.
"Kid! Find this person! You must find this person!"
"You must make him your closest friend and family member no matter what!"
"He's only at the Qi Refinement now; even if we have to help him reach Foundation Establishment, we need his help!"
"We... need him!"
Elder Jian's voice was filled with intense excitement and trembling.
It was as if I could see a glimmer of hope for my own resurrection.
Ye Chenfeng was also unsettled.
Master craftsmen are extremely rare in the remote areas of the Western Continent.
He had finally met one, and he absolutely couldn't let him miss out.
But who could it be?
"Achoo!"
The outer sect of the Azure Pool Sect.
Having just received a contribution, Lu Li was looking around to see if there was anything he could do to improve himself.
But then I suddenly couldn't help but sneeze.
"Strange... why did I sneeze for no reason..."
Who cares about me?
