The biggest difference between aura sword-making and ordinary treasure sword-making lies in the last step in the sword-making process - quenching.
The process of making swords from treasures is to smelt and forge them into sword blanks. Then the sword blank is returned to the furnace to be smelted, beaten again, the sword body is planed and rubbed, and the last step is quenching. The quenching method is to use a slightly lower temperature furnace fire for the final calcination. After calcination, it is cooled and shaped in cold water, and the sword is cast.
The final quenching process of the aura-forged sword is to use a unique aura to condense the aura between heaven and earth into the array.
After the Qi Condensing Array is activated, the swordsmith places the forged spiritual sword on the center of the formation, allowing the spiritual energy in the array to fill and wrap the sword body, injecting spiritual energy into the sword. Finally, the swordsmith uses his own essence and blood to open the sword on the spiritual stone embedded in the hilt to form the soul of the spiritual sword. Only then can the sword be successfully forged.
Ji Beichen worked hard for a long time and forged the formation-holding spirit sword used at the center of the spirit-gathering array and Zhao Baier's personal sword, a total of two spirit swords.
Ji Beichen felt that today's consumption was a bit high. Beating the sword blank only consumed physical strength, but compiling the talisman array consumed a lot of energy.
Especially the spirit sword used to hold the formation, he has given blessings in all aspects such as attack, defense, poison resistance, and soul fixation. There are more than a hundred runes used, which consumes a lot of energy.
Ji Beichen opened the storage ring, took out two Qi-tonifying pills, and drank them with warm water, but he still felt tired.
Huang Bailong saw that Ji Beichen's underwear was soaked with sweat. He was a little worried and said with his spiritual consciousness: "Little master, go to the Qi Condensation Room. There is plenty of spiritual energy there to help you recover, and it is connected to the Dragon Vein Hot Spring..."
Ji Beichen realized what Huang Bailong said and said quickly: "Why did I forget it? Mr. Huang reminded me. Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go!"
Huang Bailong wanted to go along, but unfortunately, the spiritual energy emitted by the Dragon Vein Hot Spring was of the water attribute, and would not be beneficial to him who was of the earth attribute. The aura of Dragon Vein Hot Spring is extremely abundant. Ji Beichen is an ice-attributed technique, so the water-attribute aura of Dragon Vein Hot Spring is naturally beneficial to him.
When Huang Bailong saw Ji Beichen hurried to the Qi Condensation Room next door, he obediently lay down on the stool where Ji Beichen had just sat. I saw the little snake transformed by Huang Bailong, squirming, raising its little neck and sucking greedily on the coat left by Ji Beichen, waiting quietly for his return.
In fact, Huang Bailong didn't quite understand why he was so dependent on his little master. He just liked to smell him!
Huang Bailong felt that he was also a python in his own right, having his own cave and concentrating on cultivation. Now that he met Ji Beichen, his little master, his heart couldn't calm down anymore. He once laughed at Xiao Qing, who was always overly dependent on his little master, and the degree of attachment made even his second brother King Kong Dragon feel disgusted. Now he feels that he is also a demon!
In fact, Huang Bailong cannot be entirely blamed for this kind of thing. Although the dragon clan that was poisoned by the blood dragon poison has long since disappeared, the leader of the dragon clan only killed all the people of the orthodox bloodline of the dragon clan, but not all the other collateral lines, side branches, descendants of the dragon clan and other species that reproduced in the mortal world were eliminated.
Therefore, this blood dragon poison has been spreading through the essence and blood, and has already penetrated into all species and monsters in the sky and on the earth. Especially species similar to dragons, such as snakes, pythons, and even fish in the sea.
It's just that the blood dragon poison has already mutated due to crossbreeding. Although it cannot produce any results and can be controlled by others, there will still be some abnormal reactions when encountering the blood of the Celestial Race and the God of War Race, especially species with lower cultivation levels.
The blood of the Celestials is just like their heavenly golden elixir. It is immortal and has extremely strong repairing ability. It can neutralize all toxins and resist all evil spirits. The blood of the God of War clan, in addition to giving the successor endless combat power, also has the ability to command the spiritual beasts and monsters of the three realms.
Therefore, whether it was the blood of the Celestial Race that suppressed the blood dragon poison in Huang Bailong's body, Ji Beichen also had the ability to tame him from the blood of the God of War clan. A spiritual beast with low cultivation level like Huang Bailong could only succumb to Ji Beichen's bloodline suppression.
Ji Beichen stood up and entered the air condensation chamber next to the casting table. Yan Yueli, who was hiding in the dark, had no idea what Ji Beichen was doing there. Seeing that Ji Beichen looked slightly tired just now, Yan Yueli was a little worried about him, so she couldn't help but follow him in.
In the past, Yan Yueli often wore red dresses. She was highly cultivated, so when walking in the mortal world, she would never change into clothes that could easily hide her body shape, and she was not afraid of being discovered by others.
But today was different. Yan Yueli came here to spy on her sweetheart. Because Yan Yueli was shy, she didn't want her to know that she was coming, so she changed her outfit for the rare occasion today and changed into purple and black night clothes.
If Yan Yueli was wearing the same red dress today, Ji Beichen would definitely recognize her immediately. But Yan Yueli had now changed into this night clothes, and because of her panic, her breath was a little unstable. As soon as she entered the Qi Condensation Room, Ji Beichen discovered her whereabouts.
Ji Beichen did not want to disturb Huang Bailong who was resting outside at this time, so he extinguished the torch in the air condensation chamber and directly attacked the "intruder" in front of him in the darkness.
As soon as Yan Yueli entered the Qi Condensation Chamber, she felt a cold blast of Qi approaching her face. Yan Yueli was familiar with this energy, and she knew that the owner of this energy was Ji Beichen.
Yan Yueli was shocked, Ji Beichen found her!
Yan Yueli was unable to kill Ji Beichen, but Ji Beichen was determined to catch her. The two of them just fought in the darkness with dozens of moves.
Because Yan Yueli was worried about Ji Beichen's health, she left room for every move, but she didn't want to expose any flaws. Ji Beichen found the gap and suddenly pounced, throwing Yan Yueli directly into the Dragon Vein Hot Spring.
Yan Yueli suddenly fell into the water. The hot spring water was warm, and she did not feel cold. Moreover, she felt that the hot spring water was full of spiritual energy, and it was very comfortable to soak in it.
But Ji Beichen didn't give Yan Yueli much time to think. Seeing the "intruder" fall into the water, Ji Beichen was afraid that he would run away, so he quickly followed him, jumped into the water, and held the "intruder" in a bear hug.
Such an ambiguous action surprised Yan Yueli, her face immediately turned pale, and she instinctively struggled in Ji Beichen's arms.
Seeing the man in his arms being so restless, Ji Beichen was afraid that he would break free from control, so he hurriedly swam in front of the "intruder".
Ji Beichen clamped the "intruder's" shoulders with his arms, increased the strength of his hands at the right time, stretched out his left hand to raise the "intruder's" arms above his head and behind his back, and at the same time raised his right hand to pinch the "intruder" cheek.
Ji Beichen was about to check the appearance of the "intruder" when he felt a "water droplet" scratch on the man's cheek, which only made him put down his right hand and loosen his arms.
Just when Ji Beichen was surprised, the "intruder" in his arms began to tremble, lowered his head, and started crying!
When Ji Beichen heard the cry, he felt a little familiar. He quickly used his true energy to light a torch in the air. With the light of the fire, he could clearly see the appearance of the "intruder" and was shocked: "Li'er, why is it you!"
At this time, Yan Yueli's body was floating on the spring water. When he saw the fire coming, he quickly covered his eyes that were red from crying and said: "I came here specially to see you, and this is how you treat others!"
Yan Yueli was indeed a little hurt by Ji Beichen, but she was not so delicate that she would not cry in pain.
She was just a little aggrieved. She was angry that she couldn't help but come to him, but he never took the initiative to find her. She was angry that he always bullied her when he met her... and even more angry that she didn't live up to expectations and attacked him first. Affection!
"I...I was wrong, Li'er, don't cry anymore!" Ji Beichen saw Yan Yueli crying with pear blossoms in the rain. He was so flustered that he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly swam towards Yan Yueli.
Yan Yueli didn't want to talk to Ji Beichen anymore, touched her face with her hands, sank, and dived into the hot spring water.
Yan Yueli held her breath in the water for a long time, trying to calm down. After all, crying was not her character.
When Yan Yueli calmed down and surfaced again, Yan Yueli was frightened by the scene in front of her, and her heart that had just calmed down began to beat again.
On the water surface, Ji Beichen has been anxiously watching the bottom of the water. Yan Yueli has been holding her breath under the water for a long time. The water of Dragon Vein Hot Spring was crystal clear. Through the firelight, Ji Beichen saw Yan Yueli slowly rising to the surface of the water and swam over quickly.
Just as Yan Yueli surfaced from the water, Ji Beichen, fearing that she was ill, hugged her waist, tapped her forehead gently, and said softly: "Li'er, I was wrong, don't be angry again! "
Yan Yueli had already regained her composure under the water. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out of the water, she was grabbed by Ji Beichen and held in his arms. She felt angry and annoyed.
Yan Yueli clenched her small fist and pressed it against Ji Beichen's bare chest. She raised her head and glared at Ji Beichen and said, "I...I'm not angry, please let me go!"
Ji Beichen looked helplessly at Yan Yueli, who was "touching" him in his arms, and didn't know what to do for a moment!
Ji Beichen was worried that if he let go, the "little kitten" in his arms would sink to the bottom of the water and lose sight of him. She came to him every time, but he did things to hurt her again and again. He also felt that he really deserved a beating, so he stopped talking and simply let her beat her as much as she could!
Yan Yueli was in the water, tapping Ji Beichen's chest. Ji Beichen's chest was strong and broad, and Yan Yueli's small hands felt like hitting cotton. Ji Beichen didn't feel any pain at all, but Yan Yueli's little hands were burned red by his chest.
Ji Beichen felt heartbroken when he saw that Yan Yueli had no intention of relieving her anger at all, and looked at her little hands that were gradually turning red. Ji Beichen couldn't think of any other way for the time being, so he simply used his hands to push Yan Yueli into his arms, lowered his head and leaned down, and kissed Yan Yueli's lips directly.
As Ji Beichen's kiss deepened, Yan Yueli gradually relaxed. Coupled with the warm aura of Dragon Vein Hot Spring, Yan Yueli fell asleep in Ji Beichen's arms before long.
Early the next morning, Yan Yueli woke up from her sleep. She had not slept so sweetly for a long time. Since her mother left, she has been alone at night. She often suffers from insomnia and has nightmares after falling asleep.
Yan Yueli stretched and lifted the quilt, only to see that she had changed out of her night clothes and put on pure white underwear. Recalling Ji Beichen's deep kiss before falling asleep yesterday, a smile appeared on her lips and she sighed in her heart. Said: How could his stupid apprentice grow up so quickly and learn bad things?
The door creaked open, and Yan Yueli looked toward the door. A girl dressed as a maid came in. Seeing that Yan Yueli was awake, she quickly said: "Miss Yan, Mr. Chen has ordered you to finish your breakfast." Go find him!"
After saying that, he waved towards the door, and then a row of maids came in, each holding a different breakfast, which was all placed on the dining table. Then they saluted Yan Yueli, stood in a row and exited the room. Door.
Yan Yueli knew that Ji Beichen was now a "popular man" in Cangzhou City, and his treatment was naturally different, so he asked the maid: "Where is Mr. Chen now?"
