Chapter 10, Sword Yuan Power

Subsequently, he stepped onto the teleportation array in the Smelting Hall, performed the incantation, and in an instant, he found himself within the depths of the mysterious iron ore vein, a hundred miles underground

Casually searching through an exhausted mine, Jiang Mu sat cross-legged within it, first restoring his magical power, and then silently reciting the "Divine Machine Control Sword Technique"

Without elaborating further, Xuan Tie is categorized into five types: inferior, medium, superior, excellent, and divine. However, the Floating Cloud Sect can only refine superior quality.

At this moment, Jiang Mu extended his right hand into the void, invoking the incantations of the Dao. It was as if a great hand emerged from the air, extracting a substantial amount of molten iron from the furnace of the universe, nearly the size of a three-story building

This is definitely not just superior quality dark iron, but rather top-grade dark iron

The metal known as Jin Tie is a weapon of lethal nature; even without being forged into a specific shape, it inherently possesses a fierce and ominous aura. From various perspectives, it is undoubtedly a top-grade dark iron.

Jiang Mu gave a wry smile; nowadays, he not only held the "Nine Heavens Refinement Method of the Spirit Guiding Machine" in his hands, but also mastered the core technique of the Divine Sword Sect, the "Divine Machine Palm Sword Technique." It is likely that the people of the Divine Sword Sect would not listen to his explanations.

On this point, Jiang Mu has a deep understanding. His second senior brother, Xu Yi, had previously desired a piece of top-quality mysterious iron to forge his own life-bound flying sword, and for this reason, Jiang Mu had also considered purchasing it for a substantial sum

Fortunately, it was still a success

However, the purchasers of the exquisite black iron are primarily cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Even though the Floating Cloud Sect is one of the five overlords of Qin Ge County, as long as there is no Nascent Soul expert stationed within the sect, it will be unable to compete with others.

The term "superior sect" refers to a cultivation sect that has a lineage exceeding 100,000 years, with cultivators at the Void Refinement stage residing within the sect, wielding immense influence. Regardless of the cyclical changes in fortune, their status remains unaffected.

It must be said that the Divine Sword Sect is exceptionally endowed in this regard, which explains why it was able to create a method to convert magical power into sword essence.

Therefore, Jiang Mu must achieve a thorough understanding of both himself and his adversaries

At this moment, Jiang Mu sat in meditation for a while, holding the blue-green mysterious iron in his palm. He infused it with a small amount of magical power and gently flicked it with his finger. Instantly, a clear and melodious dragon's roar leaped forth, accompanied by a blue-green brilliance that emerged like a fierce wind, even leaving streaks of blood-red marks on his palm

A large amount of impurities continuously falls from it, and the entire mass of molten iron rapidly diminishes

Jiang Mu stood before the vast Qiankun Furnace, seemingly lost in thought

The first step in converting magical power into sword essence is to practice this technique

Jiang Mu was well aware of the sensitivity of this matter, so he sent a message to Liu Tiezhu, instructing him to manage the sect's affairs with Cheng Banjin in the coming days, while he himself would enter seclusion.

In this place, Jiang Mu visits every few years to replace the spirit stones for the machinery, so although the mine is as complex as a maze, it is truly like a leisurely stroll for him

Divine Sword Sect

If the other party were merely a small sect, it would be acceptable; however, in reality, the Divine Sword Sect is one of the numerous top sects under the five major super sects of the current cultivation world

The top-tier sects refer to those sects that have three or more ancient beings at the Transformation stage, regardless of the duration of their inheritance or their reputation and status

However, the key point is that even holding enough spirit stones may not guarantee a purchase

He does not plan to replace the Qiankun Furnace and the Mechanism Mountain Beast for the time being, as this set would require at least 5,000 spirit stones, which would definitely not escape the notice of Senior Brother Yao Cheng

Since its establishment, the Divine Sword Sect has existed for just over 9,000 years. It is said that the founding ancestor was a discarded disciple of a certain super sect, shrouded in mystery. For several thousand years, the sect maintained a very low profile, only becoming prominent in the last thousand years. Currently, there are five formidable transformation-stage elders within the sect, one of whom is the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect, who in a past life was reduced to an old beggar

And now, he has actually managed to refine a piece of top-grade mysterious iron. If this news were to spread, it would likely cause an immediate stir across the five counties of the southern mountains. However, following that, the three-thousand-year foundation of the Floating Cloud Sect would probably be at risk of being lost, for the flying phoenix pattern on this top-grade mysterious iron is unique in the world, with no other counterpart.

This is certainly not the method of tempering profound iron passed down by the Floating Cloud Sect. Although the Floating Cloud Sect is somewhat renowned as a minor sect in the forging of profound iron, it is, in fact, hardly significant in the realm of cultivation.

However, he can try another method

For the time being, there is no place that is safer and more secluded than here

In the four major markets of Qinge County, exquisite black iron appears only three to five pieces each year, with each piece fetching a high price of three thousand spirit stones

Now it has indeed become cheaper for Jiang Mu

The entire process lasted for about half an hour, during which the iron water mass had shrunk to the size of a wheel. At this point, a hint of seriousness appeared in Jiang Mu's eyes. With a single hand gesture, he drew in the vast amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth like a whirlwind, which was then compressed into spiritual liquid in an instant and poured over the iron water mass.

This is not a matter of how many spirit stones there are

rumbling

However, this molten iron was controlled by Jiang Mu with his magical powers, as if it were dough in the hands of a giant, being kneaded in any way he desired. At the same time, Jiang Mu was also multitasking, applying various different spells to this molten iron dough, as if a massive hammer were invisibly striking it.

Because the leader of the Divine Sword Sect stated in a previous life, the method they created is merely a rough draft, as there is not enough spiritual energy to conduct trials, and it requires continuous correction and improvement

In a space resembling a colossal city, Jiang Mu's consciousness swept across, observing twenty mechanical mountain-opening beasts tirelessly mining ore in various tunnels, everything appeared normal

The techniques of the palm were executed one after another, landing in the Qian Kun furnace. In a moment, a massive crack opened in the Qian Kun furnace, and a wave of heat surged forth. Upon closer inspection, it was found that the interior was filled with ores that had been refined into molten iron.

The method of converting magical power into sword essence actually includes the core technique of the Divine Sword Sect, the "Divine Machine Palm Sword Technique." Within it, there is a section titled "Refining the Spirit Machine to the Nine Heavens Method," which is a method for refining and forging divine-grade mysterious iron, and is even a method for crafting flying swords

Only the sound of the Daoist cloud echoed, and a green aura radiated forth. In the blink of an eye, a block of blue-black mysterious iron took shape, naturally forming intricate patterns on its surface, resembling flying phoenixes spiraling in the nine heavens, exquisite and breathtaking.

This method, however, originates from the Divine Sword Sect

Jiang Mu's complexion was somewhat pale, and there was only a trace of magical power left within him. This method truly consumed an extraordinary amount of magical power, and he nearly failed at the last moment
