Since Bai Yunxi needed to refine his spiritual weapon, Ye Fan no longer cared about earning spirit stones.
“Let’s start.” Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi and said.
Bai Yunxi nodded and poured his blood essence into the twelve spiritual sword embryos. The spiritual sword embryos let out a crisp cry, and the twelve spiritual swords circled around Bai Yunxi. They began to frantically absorb the surrounding cold energy.
The thick cold energy turned into a vortex and flowed into Ye Fan’s store.
The temperature around Ye Fan’s store suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.
The cultivators who passed by couldn’t help but use their spiritual energy to resist the cold.
Not far from Ye Fan’s shop, Lin Mo, who was meditating on the meaning of the sword with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up and said, “The cold energy is heading toward Ye Fan’s store.”
Luo Dieyi nodded and said, “En. What strong cold energy!”
A wave of cold energy turned into a vortex and flowed into Ye Fan’s store. Many cultivators were attracted by this scene.
Li Qing looked at the direction of Ye Fan’s store, and said in confusion, “Senior sister, what’s happening?”
Feng Mo’er shook her head and said with a sigh, “What big momentum! I don’t know what they are doing.”
Bai Yunxi mobilized his soul power and refined the sword embryos into the appearance of spiritual swords.
The spiritual swords were refined by Bai Yunxi, and when the spiritual swords were formed, Bai Yunxi had a feeling that the spiritual swords and himself were one.
The spiritual swords took shape, and the sound of sword chirping became louder and louder.
A cold vortex formed over the entire store.
“Boom!” With a loud noise, the entire store was razed to the ground at once.
Several cultivators who were watching in the dark couldn’t help looking at each other when they saw this scene.
“What’s wrong? Why did the store collapse?”
“Yeah! What is Alchemist Ye doing? Why did he turn his own shop into ruins?”
“It’s so cold! Is Alchemist Ye refining cold pills? Such big movement!”
“How can there be such big movement when refining pills?! It must be weapon refining.”
…
A deafening sound of sword chirping came from the shop, and twelve radiant spiritual swords flew into the sky.
“Good sword!” Lin Mo couldn’t help but say.
On Ice Sword Island, most people were sword cultivators, and sword cultivators were mostly people who loved swords.
The twelve swords were awe-inspiring, and when they appeared, many sword cultivators were amazed.
“There are twelve swords!” Luo Dieyi said.
Lin Mo nodded and said, “En. It’s no wonder that so many ice crystal diamonds were needed. It turns out that they were needed to refine a set of spiritual swords.”
“What strong spiritual light! The quality of this set of spiritual swords should be very good. I’m afraid even Golden Core cultivators would be tempted.” Luo Dieyi said.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“It’s a life-bound spiritual weapon,” Lin Mo said.
Luo Dieyi froze for a moment and said, “Oh.”
If it was a life-bound spiritual weapon, even if you were greedy, you could only be greedy.
Lin Mo said meaningfully, “It’s not a waste of Alchemist Ye’s efforts to collect ice crystal diamonds to actually refine such a set of swords.” It was just how the ice crystal diamonds were refined into such a material!
“Return.” Bai Yunxi’s figure floated in the air. Bai Yunxi waved his hand, the twelve spiritual swords combined into one, and sank into Bai Yunxi’s dantian.
The cultivators on the side were still amazed at the beauty of the spiritual swords a moment ago, when the next moment, the spiritual swords had disappeared without a trace.
Bai Yunxi’s ethereal and graceful figure lingered in the minds of many girls.
…
The twelve spiritual swords made by Bai Yunxi were widely discussed on Ice Sword Island. Because the spiritual swords were his life-bound spiritual weapon, although many people were jealous, no one wanted to rob them.
Ye Fan had been collecting ice crystal diamonds all this time, so it was not difficult to guess that Bai Yunxi’s swords were made of ice crystal diamonds. Therefore, for a while, many weapon refiners became interested in ice crystal diamonds. Most of the ice crystal diamonds on the island had been collected, and those who wanted to study had no materials, which caused the market price of ice crystal diamonds to rise again.
Feng Mo’er walked into Li Qing’s room and saw Li Qing playing with an ice crystal diamond.
“You are also studying this?” Feng Mo’er said.
Li Qing nodded and said, “Bai Yunxi’s twelve spiritual swords that day were amazing.”
Feng Mo’er nodded and said, “Yes, that set of spiritual swords should be at the fifth level.”
Many Golden Core cultivators who were poor could only refine a fourth-level spiritual weapon when they first entered Golden Core. Bai Yunxi was only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, but he actually possessed a fifth-level spiritual weapon. His luck was amazing.
Li Qing frowned, full of puzzlement. “How were the ice crystal diamonds refined into spiritual swords?”
“Don’t think about it. Ye Fan spent a lot of time and spirit stones in order to collect ice crystal diamonds. Even if you know the refining method, it is impossible to collect so many ice crystal diamonds.” Feng Mo’er said.
What a capable man Ye Fan was! Many cultivators on the island asked Ye Fan to make pills, and Ye Fan basically never failed.
An alchemist’s ability to make money could be compared to more than a dozen cultivators of the same rank.
Li Qing frowned and said, “If I knew the method, I wouldn’t need to refine twelve swords! One sword is enough.”
Feng Mo’er nodded and said, “That’s true.” However, the sect guessed that there was no normal way to make ice spiritual swords with ice crystal diamonds. This method should be a secret method proprietary to the big sect that Ye Fan belonged to. She didn’t know which big sect Ye Fan belonged to. Actually sending them so far away to practice.
“Senior sister, I now believe that Ye Fan really comes from a big sect.” Li Qing said.
Feng Mo’er smiled and said nothing.
…
After Bai Yunxi’s spiritual swords were refined, Ye Fan was not in a hurry to open the shop, and instead took Bai Yunxi around the island.
Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi had been on Ice Sword Island for some time, but after they came, the two were busy with the shop, and hadn’t had time to tour the island.
Lin Mo’s figure silently landed in front of Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi. “Fellow Daoist Ye, Fellow Daoist Bai, came out to relax?”
Ye Fan nodded and said, “Yes!”
Lin Mo looked at Bai Yunxi and said, “Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Bai for completing your spiritual weapon. The scene where Fellow Daoist Bai completed his spiritual weapon the day before yesterday was truly amazing. I had a glimpse that day, but I couldn’t see the true face of Fellow Daoist Bai’s spiritual weapon. I don’t know whether you can let me take a look?”
“Of course.” Bai Yunxi took out a sword and handed it to Lin Mo.
As soon as he touched the ice spiritual sword, Lin Mo felt a deep chill. “Good sword!”
Lin Mo estimated that the grade of a single sword was at the fourth level, and when combined should be at the fifth level. The price of a fifth-level spiritual weapon was definitely not less than one million spirit stones. The spiritual sword was also a growth-type spiritual weapon, and there was still room for improvement.
“Fellow Daoist Bai, it’s amazing that you can actually refine such a spiritual sword.” Lin Mo said in amazement.
For sword cultivators, a good sword was undoubtedly the best companion. Most sword cultivators would exchange the spirit stones they earned into materials to improve the quality of their flying swords.
Bai Yunxi smiled indifferently, and said, “It’s not me who is great.”
He was just refining step by step under Ye Fan’s guidance. If he was alone, just collecting the raw materials would be enough to exhaust him. Not to mention, there was no method to refine ice crystal diamonds if he was on his own.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, don’t you need to open the shop?” Luo Dieyi asked.
Ye Fan carried his hands on his back and sighed, “Spirit stones can’t be earned all the time, and cultivation is more important. I’ll take Yunxi to Sword Valley for a walk.”
Luo Dieyi was full of surprise and said, “Fellow Daoist Bai is also interested in sword intent?”
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Naturally. Cultivators who have understood sword intent are much more powerful than ordinary sword cultivators. Multiple life-saving means are always good.”
Luo Dieyi nodded and said, “That’s true, but sword intent is not so easy to comprehend.”
In their Xuanjian Sect, cultivators who comprehended sword intent could ascend to the sky in one step, become elite disciples of the sect, and become key training targets of the sect. However, not every cultivator could comprehend sword intent just because they wanted to.
…
Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi arrived at Sword Valley, which was divided into two halves by a terrifying sword intent.
There were many cultivators in Sword Valley. The closer you got to the gully of sword intent, the stronger the sword intent, and the stronger the cultivators that occupied the territory.
Sword Valley actually divided the territory. The higher the strength of the cultivator, the better the position. Even if the cultivator left for a short time, generally no one would occupy their spot.
If someone occupied it, when the departed cultivator returned, conflict could easily break out.
Seeing Ye Fan coming, the cultivators in Sword Valley greeted them warmly.
Alchemists were always welcome, especially those who were skilled in alchemy.
Seeing Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi coming over, two sword cultivators voluntarily gave up their positions. Ye Fan casually gave each of them a Sword Spirit Pill, and the other cultivators sighed that their movements were too slow.
Bai Yunxi found a seat and sat down. Ye Fan sat next to Bai Yunxi.
“Alchemist Ye also came to comprehend sword intent.” The cultivator on the side said with a strange expression.
Most alchemists devoted all their energy to alchemy, and their combat strength was not too strong. There were very few alchemists who spent time on sword intent.
Ye Fan rolled his eyes and said, “I came with my wife.”
“The flying sword that Fellow Daoist Bai has refined is astonishingly powerful. If you can comprehend sword intent, it will be even more powerful.” Zhou Jin said.
Bai Yunxi smiled and said, “It is best to leave it to fate.”
…
“Senior sister, Alchemist Ye is there.” Li Qing pointed in Ye Fan’s direction and said with a strange face.
Feng Mo’er nodded and said, “I see.”
“Is Alchemist Ye also interested in sword intent? It’s hard to comprehend this thing!” Li Qing said.
In order to comprehend sword intent, many sword cultivators sat by Sword Valley for several months. In the end, most of them could only leave in despair.
Feng Mo’er took a deep breath and said, “Forget it. Since Alchemist Ye is busy, let’s not disturb him.”
When a cultivator was comprehending sword intent, it was the most taboo to be disturbed by others. If she went up to say hello at this time, maybe it would be self-defeating. Although, Ye Fan was actually half hugging Bai Yunxi. This was not like he was comprehending sword intent at all, but more like showing his affection.
Bai Yunxi looked at the gully of sword intent thoughtfully. Ye Fan looked at the gully of sword intent, yawning lazily, as if he hadn’t woken up.
…
Bai Yunxi sat in Sword Valley for a month, and suddenly he felt enlightened.
Bai Yunxi opened his eyes, raised his hand and swiped, and sword intent fell on the mountain peak on one side, leaving a deep mark.
Many sword cultivators around opened their eyes and looked at Bai Yunxi with admiration.
Luo Dieyi’s seat was next to the two of them. Seeing Bai Yunxi comprehend sword intent, Luo Dieyi said with envy, “Fellow Daoist Bai, you are truly blessed. In a short period of time, you have actually comprehended sword intent.”
Bai Yunxi shook his head and said, “It’s just a preliminary introduction. It’s nothing.”
Luo Dieyi secretly thought: Just a preliminary introduction. This preliminary introduction had blocked how many people?!
Ye Fan held his chin, blinked, thought for a while, turned his head to Bai Yunxi, and said, “Yunxi, the sword intent left here is more focused on power. When focusing on power, power is more important*.”
Luo Dieyi frowned, and secretly thought: Ye Fan, this guy, shouted about how he loved his wife all day long. Bai Yunxi comprehended sword intent. As a result, this guy didn’t say a word of praise. He only knew how to spout some bullshit about power.
Luo Dieyi didn’t notice that following Ye Fan’s words, a strange light flashed in the eyes of several swordsmen.
Ye Fan raised his hand and slashed, and a sword intent purer than Bai Yunxi’s was left on the mountain on the side.
Bai Yunxi frowned thoughtfully.
“You…you…” Luo Dieyi’s eyes widened, looking at Ye Fan in disbelief.
Ye Fan glanced at the thoughtful Bai Yunxi, glared at Luo Dieyi, and motioned Luo Dieyi to shut up.
Luo Dieyi looked at Ye Fan, only to feel as if her heart was blocked. Ye Fan, this guy, actually comprehended sword intent. Was sword intent so worthless now? Ye Fan, an alchemist, actually comprehended sword intent.
Judging from Ye Fan’s appearance, he seemed to have comprehended it a long time ago, and was just staying to accompany Bai Yunxi.
But she clearly saw that Bai Yunxi had been contemplating seriously, but this guy, Ye Fan, seemed to be dozing off all the time!
“Alchemist Ye, how can you comprehend sword intent?” Luo Dieyi asked cautiously.
Ye Fan glanced at Luo Dieyi and said inexplicably, “Just imitate a cat or imitate a tiger. Don’t you understand?”
Luo Dieyi responded, “I… don’t understand!”
Ye Fan looked at Luo Dieyi and said, “It looks like your sword cultivation aptitude is not that good!”
Luo Dieyi: “…” In this way, her aptitude really didn’t seem to be very good!
***
T/N: *I know this doesn’t make much sense, but that was the best I could get from the translation – I think it’s not supposed to make much sense… I believe the intent is for it to sound profound and esoteric, so ordinary people aren’t supposed to understand.
Damn bro OP
This just proves that if he could simply have what people considered even the worst aptitude for cultivation in previous life, he would still be a better cultivator than most.
