The refining of a sword embryo is not too difficult. After all, Yang Qi is only refining a sword embryo that suits himself. If he is a normal weapon-wielding expert, he will need to carve Dao patterns and refine weapon embryos based on the Dao practiced by other practitioners. This is the true essence of the weapon-wielding path.
Wow~
Yang Qi's mind moved, and he withdrew his Yuan power. A long sword floated in the dark blue flame above the furnace, and the sword embryo took shape!
After the sword embryo is formed, the next step of refining is simple. You only need to continuously improve the sword embryo, and finally you can refine a real Taoist weapon. However, this process is also the process that ultimately determines the quality of the Taoist weapon. It's like the same sword. How you sharpen the blade determines its lethality. If it's blunt, the lethality will naturally be greatly reduced!
As time went by, the refining materials provided by Emperor Yaoguang had been almost consumed, and the long sword refined by Yang Qi had also been completely formed. Only the most critical step was left to complete the entire refining process.
“There are some left.”
Yang Qi glanced at the spirit wine in the furnace and found that even after refining the weapon, there was still some spirit wine left. It was obvious that Emperor Yaoguang had reserved some extra spirit wine. Although it was not enough for the second refining, it would not be impossible to complete the refining due to lack of spirit wine.
Whoosh~
The fiery red sword flew out from the furnace and fell towards the quenching pool that had been prepared not far away. This quenching pool was also prepared by Emperor Yaoguang, and the quenching material in it was another kind of spiritual wine.
Tsk~tsk~
The long sword was immersed in the quenching pool, and a burst of hot wine smell spread out in an instant. The spirit wine in the quenching pool evaporated quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally fiery red long sword began to quickly dim. When the fiery red completely disappeared, a faint blue spread from the sword body. In just a blink of an eye, the original long sword turned into a faint blue long sword, and a faint aura dissipated.
Looking at the dark blue sword in front of him, Yang Qi couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I wonder what the quality of this weapon is?"
Yang Qi had been in the Martial King realm for many years, but none of the Dao weapons he used were made by himself. Even the Black Phoenix Sword that matched him was only made because of the blood of the Phoenix Clan. The long sword in front of him was the first Dao weapon Yang Qi made by himself. Even though it was not refined, because it contained his own Dao, Yang Qi felt very close to the long sword, as if the long sword was a part of his body.
"The next step is to open it!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. This was also the last step in refining the weapon. Only after it was opened could one truly know the quality of the Taoist weapon. The quality of a newly refined Taoist weapon could not be directly judged. One could only roughly infer a range.
"start!"
Yang Qi moved his fingertips, and a drop of bright red blood fell on the blade of the sword.
Buzz~
The moment the blood fell, the sword trembled slightly, and a fierce power spread out. The blood instantly merged into the sword body and disappeared.
"Approach the middle-grade Taoist soldiers!"
As the sword was opened, Yang Qi immediately felt the quality of the sword itself. It was a weapon close to the level of a mid-grade Taoist weapon, but it was still a low-grade Taoist weapon.
Even among the lower-grade Dao weapons, there are fine and ordinary ones, and even among the fine ones, there are also differences in quality, but the differences are more subtle. The long sword refined by Yang Qi is obviously beyond the ordinary fine-grade Dao weapons of the lower grade! And this level of Dao weapons obviously meets the requirements of this test!
“It worked.”
There was a gleam of brilliance in Yang Qi's eyes. Although the process of refining the weapon this time was very rough, relying on the precious materials and powerful cultivation level, he still successfully passed the test of Emperor Yaoguang.
Wow~
A ray of light surged not far from the stove, and then a passage appeared, which was the passage to the next place.
"The opportunity this time is to get the Taoist weapon refined by myself?" Looking at the long sword not far away, Yang Qi has already understood that the ultimate reward for this test of refining the weapon is the Taoist weapon refined by the practitioner himself.
However, in addition to the Taoist soldiers, Yang Qi also gained some other things, that is, the spiritual wine that was originally used as fuel and was not consumed. There was probably about a normal pot of spiritual wine left.
“This is a pleasant surprise.”
Yang Qi chuckled, then collected the spirit wine in the stove. Just as he was about to put away his sword and leave, he suddenly sensed the thoughts conveyed by the Black Phoenix Sword.
"Do you want to fuse that sword?" Feeling the thoughts conveyed by the Black Phoenix Sword, Yang Qi's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. The Black Phoenix Sword was going to fuse the Taoist weapon he had refined before.
The Taoist weapon refined by Yang Qi this time was only close to the level of mid-grade Taoist weapon, not even a mid-grade Taoist weapon. However, the Black Phoenix Sword was already a top-grade Taoist weapon. He couldn't help but feel a little strange that Yang Qi would be interested in this low-grade Taoist weapon.
Receiving the thought from the Black Phoenix Sword again, Yang Qi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is there something you need?"
Although the materials used to refine the long sword are not bad, they are not too precious. Even if a true master refiner takes action, he can only refine a medium-grade Taoist weapon at most. How can such a Taoist weapon have what the Black Phoenix Sword needs
"Spirit wine?"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. If there was anything special about the process of refining the sword, the most special thing would be the spirit wine used for refining and the spirit wine used for the final quenching.
What the Black Phoenix Sword needs is obviously something refined in this special way. It's a pity that this refining method is probably only available in the Yaoguang Realm. It is impossible for other practitioners to use this method to refine the weapon.
Yang Qi thought for a moment, and finally let the Black Phoenix Sword absorb the long sword he had refined. The long sword was the first Taoist weapon he had refined and had special significance.
However, Yang Qi himself could not use the long sword, and it contained his own Dao, so it was difficult to find a suitable successor. In this case, it would be better to let the Black Phoenix Sword absorb it, and after it merged with the Black Phoenix Sword, the long sword would truly become a weapon in his hand!
After fusing the long sword with the Black Phoenix Sword, Yang Qi entered the passage. As soon as he entered the passage, he felt the scenery in front of him change. The next moment, he came to a wide open space.
"Um?"
As soon as he appeared in the open space, Yang Qi's attention was attracted by several figures in front of him. These figures were none other than Qiu Yanhong and the other two who had chosen the wine channel before.
There were originally five practitioners who entered the Wine Channel, but there were only three left in the open space at this time. These three were practitioners Yang Qi was familiar with, Nangong Jin, Qin Baichuan, and Qiu Yanhong. As for the other two practitioners, they had disappeared without a trace!
Nangong Jin couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yang Qi coming, "Brother Yang, it's you. I knew you would be able to pass the test successfully."
"I was just lucky." Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
The two tests of the Sword Passage are not too difficult, and as long as you are careful and cautious, it is still easy to pass. (To be continued)
