A Cultivation Amateur With 4.6 Billion Years Of Cultivation

Chapter 22 I’ll Refine One Too

Bai Yan cultivated a water-attribute cultivation technique. Water could produce wood. In theory, it was quite beneficial for refining peach wood swords. However, in reality, it was not the case.

The water-attribute cultivation technique was not suitable for refining artifacts, so it was very difficult to control the artifact cauldron. The wooden sword spun in the cauldron, became bigger, smaller, and bigger. After an unknown period of time, it suddenly began to tremble. It turned out that the artifact

cauldron’s rejection of the water-attribute spiritual power caused its spiritual power to be unstable.

Bai Yan who had already reached her limit and tried her best to maintain it.

As the sword continued to tremble, it accidentally brushed against the side of the cauldron. There was a soft sound, and the tip of the sword suddenly chipped.

Bai Yan hurriedly reached out and slapped the cauldron seeing that something would definitely happen if she continued refining. With a muffled bang, spiritual energy rushed out of the cauldron. The sword also flew out of the cauldron with the spiritual energy and landed in Bai Yan’s hand.

She picked it up and examined it carefully. “Oh no!” she said with a sigh. “It’s an

inferior product that no one wants even if you give it away for free. And it’s chipped.’

Zeng Jing said, “It doesn’t matter. In any case, peach wood is everywhere. We can just make a sword again.”

Bai Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I’ve already exceeded my limits just now. It’s useless no matter how many times I try. It’ll only get worse.”

Zeng Jing did not reply to that again.

She placed the chipped peach wood sword in Zeng Jing’s hand. “Junior Brother, please use this thing first. I’ll think of a way to help you find a better wooden sword in the future.” At this point, her expression turned a little gloomy as she thought of her sect’s deceased master refiner. How good would it be if he was still alive? At the very least, her junior brother’s Dharma treasure would not be inferior to hers.

This thought affected her mental state again. She tried her best not to cry with the help of the Mind-Clearing Grass but she was not in the mood to talk to Zeng Jing anymore. She waved her hand and went to the pine forest at the back of the mountain where she sat cross-legged with her eyes closed and meditated to adjust her mental state.

Zeng Jing did not want to disturb her seeing that she had left temporarily.

He looked down at the peach wood sword in his hand. He had learnt how to distinguish the strength of a Dharma treasure after reading the “Myriad Treasures Divine Power” last night.

The most important thing about a Dharma treasure would be its “Spiritual Energy Capacity” and “Spiritual Energy

Amplification”. If a Dharma treasure could

contain more spiritual energy, its power

would be greater, vice versa. As for “Amplification”, it was even easier to

understand. It would be the extent of

amplification of the user’s spiritual energy.

Zeng Jing sensed for a moment and found that the spiritual energy content of this wooden sword was extremely low. It could be said that it could only accommodate a little spiritual energy. No wonder Bai Yan was so

sad.

Zeng Jing injected the small amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy he had into the peach wood sword. It immediately emitted a faint red light. Wood produces fire, and fire-attribute spiritual energy could exert a stronger effect on the wooden sword. However, the quality of the Dharma treasure was too poor so the enhancement effect was almost zero.

Zeng Jing slashed out with his sword, and a stream of flames flashed in midair. This Flame Sword was slightly stronger than the Flame Palm from yesterday. However, it was still inferior even though it had an enhancement effect of the wooden sword.

He thought to himself, ‘Why don’t I try refining treasures with the Myriad Treasures Divine Power I learned yesterday? Perhaps it will be better than Senior Sister’s?’

I’ve to try it out!

He followed Bai Yan’s example and found a

piece of peach wood. He shaved it and quickly shaped it into a wooden sword. However, his carving skills were much worse than Bai Yan’s. The sword was extremely ugly. It could

be said to be a shameful piece of trash that looked even cruder than a child’s toy.

Ugliness was not a problem, it was an experiment after all so Zeng Jing did not care.

He stuffed the ugly wooden sword into the

Weapon Refinement Cauldron and then sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron like Bai Yan had just done. He stretched out his hands

and placed them on the cauldron, slowly injecting his fire-attribute spiritual energy into the cauldron and circulating it according

to the method indicated by the “Myriad Treasures Divine Power”…

However, there was no reaction at all when

spiritual energy was injected into the cauldron!

The ugly wooden sword in the cauldron was

still lying limply at the bottom of the cauldron. It did not even float. Zeng Jing immediately understood that his

fire attribute spiritual energy was too weak. It

was not even enough to activate the Weapon refinement cauldron, let alone refine treasures with spiritual energy, nurture

treasures with spiritual energy, and transform treasures with spiritual energy. What should he do?

Right! Eat more chili!

Zeng Jing came to the door of the granary. He

saw large strings of dried chili peppers still hanging under the eaves. The chili sticks swayed in the wind.

The people of Shuangqing were really not afraid of spicy food, but their hearts trembled when they saw an entire skewer of chili.

Forget it. One had to eat spicy food to be superior to others.

He removed a large bunch of peppers and

stuffed them straight into his mouth.

“Damn, this is sour!”

“F*ck, it’s spicy!” “Ahhh, I can’t take it anymore!”

Roll all over the floor!

A few minutes later, Zeng Jing got up with a

red mouth. The fire in his body was so strong that he seemed to have turned his whole body onto the fire attribute. The breath he exhaled

seemed to be burning. He felt the 4.6 billion years of cultivation in his Purple Mansion. Very good, they also had a very strong fire

now.

This was the fire he wanted.

Zeng Jing returned to the Weapon Refinement Cauldron and sat down cross-legged. He stretched out his palms and placed them on

the cauldron. Then, he sent a portion of his

fire attribute cultivation into the cauldron.

BOOM!

Even though only a little of the 4.6 billion years of cultivation with fire-attribute entered the cauldron, the effect was wild. The entire Weapon Refinement Cauldron suddenly shone with a terrifying red light. It was

unknown how long it had been since this ancient Weapon Refinement Cauldron had received such a terrifying fire-attribute spiritual energy.

In an instant, the function of the Weapon refinement cauldron was activated to its limit. The ugly wooden sword in the cauldron stood

up with a whoosh and floated in midair. In a

flash of red light, it began to spin crazily. Endless and vast fire-attribute spiritual energy was refining and nourishing it. It

crazily and greedily accepted the nourishment of spiritual energy and grew crazily. Zeng Jing did not think too much about it at

this moment. He only circulated his spiritual energy according to the method recorded in the “Myriad Treasures Divine Power” and let

them continuously refine the ugly wooden sword. However, he was still not proficient in using this Myriad Treasures Divine Power. The control of spiritual energy was not too stable.

Even though his cultivation level was deep and his spiritual energy was vast, he could not achieve perfection without proficiency in technical work. Therefore, he did not pursue perfection and only refined it for fun.

After an unknown period of time, the Weapon Refinement Cauldron opened. A stream of fire-attribute spiritual energy rushed out of the cauldron. The ugly wooden

sword spun out of the cauldron and landed in Zeng Jing’s hand.

Zeng Jing sensed its “Spiritual Energy Capacity” slightly. It was really strange. This

fellow’s spiritual energy capacity was much stronger than the one his Senior Sister had refined just now. As for the “Spiritual Energy Amplification”, he couldn’t try it yet, but he knew that it wasn’t bad even without trying. He did not know what grade of Dharma treasure this was, but he was sure that it was

many times better than the peach wood sword that his Senior Sister had just refined. “Interesting!” Zeng Jing thought to himself, “Since I’ve eaten chili and my cultivation has turned into the fire attribute, why don’t I find a place with no one around to try the Flame Sword?”

He quietly left the small valley where the Sword Sect was located and ran to the back of the mountain. After making sure that Bai Yan

and Loli Sect Master did not follow him, he stopped.

Then, he slowly injected his cultivation into

the ugly wooden sword. The spiritual energy capacity of this wooden sword was really astonishing. Zeng Jing continuously injected fire-attribute spiritual energy into the sword. It took a full 5,000 years of cultivation before

he finally felt that the peach wood sword could not hold anymore. He raised the ugly wooden sword that had

been infused with 5,000 years of cultivation

and swung it at the sky… “BOOM!”

A terrifying fire dragon soared into the sky

and burned it. The sky seemed to have been

cut in half by this sword. Even the clouds were split into two and burned. The fire dragon flew more than a hundred kilometers and soared above Shu Mountain. The dragon’s roar shocked all the cultivators of Shu Mountain, causing them to raise their

forward

heads and tremble in fright.
