Chapter 148: Blood Recognition of Master

  "You're done for, kid. You've gotten me into this mess." Du Fei gazed down at the snowball being pressed down by the Wordless Heavenly Book, which continued to quiver nonstop, but no matter what, it couldn't shake off the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Kid, stop dawdling here and think of a way to use this ore to forge some decent blades. I can tell that the blades forged from this ore are extraordinary, just by looking at its spiritual energy, it's not ordinary, and it even knows how to launch a preemptive attack on you." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Hold on, let me take care of this guy first." Du Fei squatted down and pressed his fists, saying.

  "Give up, how can you collect him? This guy's hardness is so strong, it's a mineral essence." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "My dad doesn't believe it." After finishing speaking, Du Fei clenched his fist and punched the snowball with a loud thud. "Ouch!" Only to see Du Fei holding his own fist in pain, crying out in agony.

  "I've told you before but you didn't believe me, and now you have to try it out for yourself. Serves you right." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "This guy is so hard, how can he be cast into a soldier's sword?" Du Fei looked at the wordless heavenly book with a stifled expression.

  "You've suffered a loss, you know how formidable it is now. You think refining essence is that simple?" The Scripture of the Unwritten Heaven said.

  "Speak quickly! I'm in a bad mood right now, are you trying to make me vent my anger on you?" Du Fei said with a fierce expression.

  "Speak up, speak quickly. Don't be angry, hehe. Actually, the process of refining the ore is the most difficult part, once it's refined, everything else is simple, and the casting method is exactly the same as your previous one." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "But there's another problem, this guy is so hard, how can he be cast into shape? And as soon as you let go of him, he'll definitely run away again, and it will be difficult to catch him again?" Du Fei asked.

  "Cut your index finger. Let the blood drip on it." The wordless heavenly book wrote.

  "What's going on?" Du Fei asked.

  "Less nonsense, hurry up and finish it, then take me away afterwards." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  Du Fei also raised an eyebrow in confusion, conjuring up a gust of wind element on his index finger. His index finger instantly drew out a small wound, and Du Fei dripped blood from his injured finger onto the snowball. He then put away the Wordless Heavenly Book and retreated several steps back. Having suffered losses multiple times before, he had now learned to be cautious. He knew to dodge to one side and quietly observe the changes.

  Du Fei's blood had just dripped onto the snowball when it completely disappeared without a trace, leaving Du Fei bewildered and unsure of what was happening. The snowball was made of mineral material with an extremely smooth surface, and blood was supposed to be ***, yet the snowball was able to absorb the blood - all of this was beyond Du Fei's knowledge.

  "How could this be?" Du Fei asked in puzzlement after absorbing it.

  "Shh, just watch from here." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote. Du Fei could only quietly observe the snowball's situation. After a few seconds of blood disappearing, the snowball began to react and started trembling constantly. Along with the snowball's tremors, Du Fei also clearly felt the energy changes around it. The primordial energy within the Tian Zhuo Abyss was stirred up by the snowball's tremors, flowing violently and restlessly. At the same time, Du Fei's heart tightened, a thrilling feeling suddenly burning in his blood. He only felt that his body's primordial energy also wanted to surge up like the Tian Zhuo Abyss's primordial energy, a mysterious power bursting out from within him. However, this power didn't have any malicious intent towards Du Fei. "How is this possible? Is it because of that snowball?" Du Fei looked at his own palm and then at the snowball.

  At this time, the snowball suddenly released a burst of air, causing Du Fei to retreat several steps before stabilizing his figure. After the air wave dissipated, the Tian Zhuo Brook returned to calmness, and Du Fei also let out a slight sigh of relief. He looked at the snowball again, which was still suspended in mid-air, motionless and quiet, making Du Fei dare not be careless for half a moment. With caution, he approached the snowball, stopping three or four meters away. He crouched down to pick up a stone from the ground and gently threw it at the snowball, producing a light "ting" sound. The stone hit the snowball accurately, but the snowball still didn't react, remaining motionless in mid-air. However, Du Fei was still somewhat cautious and continued to throw stones at the snowball, which still showed no reaction. After two hits, the snowball remained unresponsive, and Du Fei's heart relaxed slightly. He took a few swift steps forward, arriving right in front of the snowball.

  Du Fei circled around the snowball a few times, carefully observing it. He pointed at the snowball and said, "Ah, don't move now, I have no ill intentions towards you. It was I who created you, so don't repay kindness with enmity." After speaking, Du Fei still stretched out his right hand's index finger, slowly approaching the snowball, and lightly touched it. At the moment of contact, a faint blue light flashed between Du Fei's fingers and the snowball's surface, and a soothing sensation instantly spread throughout Du Fei's body. The snowball also began to move, but this time it was no longer filled with malice, nor did it attack Du Fei. Instead, it had transformed into a calm demeanor in front of him.

  Du Fei clearly felt the change in the snowball compared to before, and slowly opened his palm. The snowball seemed to understand Du Fei's intention and slowly lay down on his palm. This snowball was about the size of a human head, made of extremely pure silver steel iron stone, and should have weighed at least several hundred kilograms. However, Du Fei didn't feel any weight at all. What he felt most deeply was that the snowball was warm, with a temperature that was very comforting. Du Fei was also shocked by the snowball lying in his palm. He quickly took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and asked, "Hey, what's going on? This guy was attacking me just now, but how did it suddenly become so docile? And why do I feel like this guy is especially close to me?"

  "It is now yours." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "What's mine? What does it mean?" Du Fei asked with a puzzled face.

  "You didn't just drip a drop of blood on it, did you? Originally, this thing was created as an ownerless object, but once you drip blood to acknowledge ownership, it becomes yours." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder this guy attacked me on his own initiative earlier and now he's become so docile. I didn't expect this ore to have such a magical aspect to it." As Du Fei spoke, he weighed the snowball in his hand several times, and the snowball also obediently jumped up and down several times to match Du Fei's movements.

  "Fly!" Du Fei suddenly threw the snowball high into the air, and to his surprise, it obediently flew around him in a circle before returning to his palm. Du Fei was overjoyed by this miraculous sight.

  "Hey, this thing can fly too! What should I use it for?" Du Fei asked the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "I don't care what you become, anyway it's your own creation, the mineral spirit, whatever you want." Wrote Hutian.

  "Wait a minute, let me think." Du Fei said, plopping himself down on the ground with one hand propping up his chin in contemplation.

  "Hold on, you little scamp wants to forge a sword now? Do you know how to use the essence of minerals to forge?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Ah, right! I almost forgot. So, how do we change the shape of this stubborn ore?" Du Fei asked with a smile, turning to the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "How can I see you, a young man, being so arrogant? You started to be fierce with me, now look at your behavior, ah, it's really embarrassing." The wordless heavenly book wrote. Du Fei saw the words on the wordless heavenly book and his face immediately fell. He awkwardly laughed coldly for a moment.

  "Speak quickly! You've become arrogant just because you have some power!" Du Fei suddenly became fierce.

  "It's actually quite simple, the essence of refining is to use your mind to stir up the golden core within your dantian, as long as you can sense the elemental composition of the mineral spirit, and then use your primordial energy to adjust the position of the elements, according to the shape of the weapon or equipment in your mind, that's all. The only thing is that you need to ensure that the quality of your own primordial energy is sufficient to manipulate the elements within the mineral spirit."

  "Oh, so you're saying that as long as the golden yuanqi pearl in the dantian is stimulated, and the ability to control metal within it is used, then using yuanqi to change the shape of the mineral essence will do?" Du Fei asked back.

  "That's right, the theory is that simple, but those mineral spirits are constantly compressed and have a density that is quite enormous. The quality of the yuanqi hasn't reached a certain level, it can't even budge those elements." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Oh, I see. That's how it is. By the way, I have another question for you. You see this snowball can fly on its own, does every mineral spirit have this characteristic? And if I were to cast it into a weapon or equip it, would it still have this characteristic?" Du Fei asked.

  "Hmm, young one's heart is still quite meticulous, knowing to ask this question." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Speak quickly, don't dawdle here." Du Fei urged, pushing the Wordless Heavenly Book slightly.

  "Every mineral spirit has one or more special properties when it is born, just like you can fly. I think that's all you have, no other properties. Properties are forever possessed by the mineral spirits, no matter what changes occur in their shape, or what formations they join, properties will never be eliminated, unless the mineral spirit is destroyed." The Scripture of the Wordless Heaven wrote.

  "Oh, so you're saying this ore is of a good quality?" Du Fei asked.

  "It can only be considered ordinary, the original material of this mineral essence is rare in the world, but it still exists. Compared to those rare minerals, it's already considered abundant. Don't have high hopes now, being able to refine the mineral essence with your current cultivation is already a great fortune. If you can get that old madman's Pure Yang Lie Gang and refine the mineral essence, then it would be barely acceptable." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "What's luck, I'm completely relying on myself to hammer it out. And that old guy's thing will eventually be mine, just you wait. Not saying anything else, let me think carefully about what to cast with such good materials, can't waste them." Du Fei said and ignored the wordless heavenly book, starting to ponder what he should cast with his first successfully crafted mineral essence...
