Shen Luo bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.
With a light "bang" sound, the essence and blood burst open and turned into a ball of blood mist that covered the dark red sword.
He clasped his hands together, and the blood mist swirled around the small sword before completely blending into it and disappearing.
Then Shen Luo opened his ten fingers again, and ten blue lights shot out from his fingertips, transforming into ten sharp blue filaments. While the small sword had not completely solidified, he quickly engraved runes on the sword.
The runes spread out, faintly forming a miniature magic circle.
A quarter of an hour later, he let out a long breath, and the blue light on his fingertips dissipated.
The dark red sword has been completely solidified, but the magic circle on it has also been engraved.
However, the refining of the sword blank was not yet over. Shen Luo picked up a small piece of white powder next to him, sprinkled it on the dark red sword, and then threw it into the flame of the casting furnace and roasted it.
The white powder was quickly melted, like salt grains meeting water, and gradually merged into the small sword.
He then picked up another material and continued to refine it into the sword blank carefully according to the method recorded in the Pure Yang Sword Classic.
This refining process took a day and a night. As all the materials were integrated into the sword blank, its appearance changed. The color turned into light red, and some of the slightly rough parts of the sword became delicate.
The whole sword was sharp and exuded a fierce aura.
Shen Luo did not stop. He took a deep breath and made a hand gesture.
The Chunyang sword embryo flew out with a "whoosh" and landed at the center of the magic circle on the ground, hovering there.
He pinched his fingers and tapped again, and the magic circle on the ground suddenly made a buzzing sound, burst out with a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation, and then a large red light shot out from the magic circle.
These red lights overlapped and intertwined with each other to form a huge red lotus.
The Pure Yang Sword embryo suspended in the center of the magic circle also suddenly lit up, and a large piece of crystal red light bloomed from it, and rapidly rotated around the sword embryo, forming a red vortex.
Shen Luo didn't know the specific effect of the magic circle in advance, and was slightly surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
However, he soon calmed down, waved his hand to take out the white jade box, placed it in the magic circle, pinched his fingers to condense two palms, opened the stone box through the air, and at the same time pointed at the void, and a blue light shot out and merged into the stone box.
After discovering that the stone box could collect the Red Lotus Karma Fire, he had been trying to refine it using the Nine-Nine-Treasure Art. However, the white stone box was different from other talismans and magical instruments. Although it contained some restricted power, even the Nine-Nine-Treasure Art could not refine it.
However, this attempt was not completely fruitless. Shen Luo can now slightly pry open the restricted power in the stone box.
After the blue light merged into the stone box, a layer of faint white light appeared on the stone box.
A ball of red lotus fire as big as a human head shot out from inside and actually fled to the outside, as if it were a living creature with intelligence.
Shen Luo hurriedly recited the spell and activated the magic circle. The red light in front of the red lotus fire condensed to form a red light shield.
With a light "bang" sound, Honglian hit the light shield and was bounced back.
The red lotus in the magic circle also began to slowly rotate at this moment, emitting a guiding force that enveloped the red lotus karma fire.
