Chapter 88: Refining the Sword

  Zi Hong spoke straightforwardly about what was on his mind, and Bai Qi felt a warmth. This warmth, after his mother's death, had not been felt for a long time.

  At this time, the Inverse Scale Spear was no longer effective. Bai Qi took out the golden body of the Bodhisattva, and in the small stone chamber, all the evil energy was squeezed out. The Inverse Scale Spear had nothing to absorb, so its scales were all opened, emitting a humming noise.

  Bai Qi and Zi Hongyan, this reverse scale spear, although it doesn't have a spiritual device, can do many things on its own. This strange phenomenon, Bai Qi didn't think about exploring the reason, just thought it was interesting.

  Bai Qi let the demon spirit gourd clear the way, and the inverted scale spear went outside to absorb the evil energy, transforming it into a green thunderbolt. Although this place is only about three miles away from the ground in a straight line distance, Bai Qi and Zi Hong walked for no less than thirty miles. In such a deep and mysterious place, the inverted scale spear would not be discovered unless it was extracting the earth's evil yin pulse.

  Ordinary people, if they were like Bai Qi and lost their sect, would be pursued by the Night Emperor's Gate and other forces, and would inevitably be anxious and unable to end their days. But Bai Qi, because he had this Inverse Scale Spear, could cultivate in such a perilous place, which is rare in the world.

  That Wang returned to the Night Emperor's Gate, the Beast King himself made time to look for Bai Qi, but he had already lost track of him. It wasn't that there were no clues, but rather that Bai Qi was rushing towards Luo Fu, and even if the Beast King was arrogant, he didn't dare to provoke them. The Luo Fu lineage was not weaker than the Night Emperor's Gate.

  Bai Qi made a good move by taking this risk, at least he got rid of the trouble from Ye Di Men. As for whether he offended Luo Fu, Bai Qi no longer cared.

  The evil energy gale blows once every six hours, with an interval of six hours in between. There is no danger and you can continue to cultivate. When the evil energy gale arrives, the Inverse Scale Spear will be outside the stone room, frantically absorbing the evil energy. Any remaining evil energy will also be absorbed by the Youling Calabaza. The Bodhisattva Golden Body will be placed inside the stone room, and the two of you will be safe from harm.

  Bai Qi began to cultivate the eighth chapter of Qing Lei Zhen Jie, although the eighth chapter is a summary of similar content, it also records a large number of demon clan Taoist techniques. This time Bai Qi was meticulous and started cultivating from the parts related to the four Taoist techniques he had already mastered.

  Bai Qi's four Dao techniques have all condensed into thirty-six Fu Lu kinds, only by thoroughly mastering the Dao technique can one condense seventy-two Fu Lu kinds and advance to the Golden Elixir.

  That Inverse Scale Spear provided Bai Qi with ten pieces of Inverse Scale Crystals every day, which was roughly equivalent to the amount he could absorb in a day. The speed at which he absorbed them was terrifying, and Bai Qi also discovered that although this Earthly Fiend Vein wasn't as powerful as the Heavenly Fiend Vein, it was even thicker and more abundant. Even with the Inverse Scale Spear absorbing at full strength, it couldn't completely absorb the fiendish energy blowing out of the well mouth.

  Ten pieces of Inverse Scale Crystals, six were stored away, the remaining four were given to Zi Hong, two for each person, used for daily cultivation consumption. Giving these Inverse Scale Crystals to Zi Hong was somewhat wasteful, she could only melt them and absorb them as liquid Yuan Qi, wasting a considerable amount.

  Bai Qi was also helpless, but he still had to go all out to support Zi Hong. After all, Zi Hong's realm was very high and could advance to the Golden Dan stage one step ahead of him. If Zi Hong became a powerful Golden Dan cultivator, their ability to save their lives would increase by several dozen times.

  The Inverse Scale Spear itself is a Xianqi, but after being cut off by the soldier's sword, the instrument spirit died and fell to the level of a Daoqi. To restore it to its original state as a Xianqi, even if one were to completely absorb this earth evil yin pulse, it would still not be enough.

  So the Inverse Scale Spear looks like it hasn't changed at all, but the biggest change is the Ghost God Jiao Ao in the Youling Gourd.

  This demon god is arrogant and domineering, but it's unknown what kind of standard he has. On the platform where generals are beheaded and gods are sealed, every day he uses the transformed green thunder to refine that black giant flag. As for himself, he directly absorbs the aura of death to cultivate. The giant sword in his hand is getting longer and longer, already approaching his height, with a length of over 6 meters.

  On this giant sword, two seals gradually condensed - Bing Jie.

  Bai Qi didn't know that this giant sword, after being refined to the end, would become another Soldier Severing Sword. However, although the power of this Soldier Severing Giant Sword was mighty, it could only be used by Gui Shen Jiao Ran. Bai Qi couldn't even bear to touch it with his hand or scan it with his divine sense due to the intense killing aura on the sword.

  The height of the ghostly Qī Jiǎo is now two and a half zhang, standing on the ground, higher than the normal eaves. He was originally naked, but now with the nourishment of evil energy, scales condensed on his body first, and then outside the scales, a suit of dark golden armor appeared. The appearance of the ghostly Qī Jiǎo is not ugly, only a cyan-golden single horn on his forehead, plus his face is also pale, looking very ferocious.

  As the days spent in this cave grew longer, Gui Shen's giant flag behind him was refined into a thick black cloud, rolling around his body, which seemed to be riding on clouds and fog, floating above the Seal of God Platform.

  On this day, Gui Shen Qi came out of the gourd by himself and knelt down in front of Bai Qi, calling him "my master".

  "What's your business?"

  "My lord, can't that Inverse Scale Spear be given a few more Azure Thunderbolts every day? The Sealing Divine Platform is still in its condensed physical form, even if it's just one layer, it can subdue many divine soldiers and help my lord conquer the four directions."

  "Overbearing, I currently lack the boundary, even if I had a divine weapon, it would be difficult to control."

  "I am willing to lead troops for my lord."

  "What realm is required for the first layer of divine soldiers?"

  "At least form the Golden Elixir."

  Jian Feng's words left Bai Qi speechless. The Jianjiang Fēngshén Tái was indeed powerful, but first and foremost, one had to go and slay the Golden Elixir strongmen in order to forge a divine weapon. Moreover, before that, they still needed to refine the Jianjiang Fēngshén Tái. Who knew how much Qing Léi Bāo Yuán would be consumed?

  "My lord, it's not that troublesome. As long as I can condense a layer of the Divine Sealing Platform, later when I encounter suitable candidates, I'll complete the final blow. The people killed by the Sword of Severing will have their souls automatically fly up to the Divine Sealing Flag and transform into divine soldiers. The Divine Sealing Platform has nine layers; the higher you go, the greater the power of the divine soldiers and generals."

  Bai nodded and said: "I understand, you go back first, I have my own plan."

  Bai Qi's heart was also moved after hearing this. This Nine-Layered Beheading Platform of the Sealing God Tower, the first layer's divine soldiers were at least Golden Dan strong experts, then what would be above the ninth layer?

  The demon gods retreated, and Bai Qi was also worried. The inverted scale spear would not communicate with him, and to increase the green thunder yuan in the Youling calabaza, he had to cut corners from himself.

  Forget it, let Zi Hong refine the Golden Elixir first. I'll go down into that well myself and let the Inverse Scale Spear absorb its fill.

  The top priority is to forge a suitable weapon for oneself. The Seven-Star Demon-Subduing Gun is indeed very powerful, but like the Inverse Scale Gun, it seems to be missing something and cannot exert its true strength.

  At hand, the only thing that can be refined is the Moon Wheel Sword Pill.

  Bai Qi thought of this and took out twenty-four sarira. These sarira were the remains of Luo Jiang, who had been burned by the Red Lotus Temple. Before his death, Luo Jiang had asked to return the Tian Mo Mirror to the Red Lotus Temple, which he did, so these sarira belonged to him now. Using them wouldn't cause any trouble either.

  Bai Qi put the Moon Wheel Sword Pill into the Huo Zhong Qing Lian, and also threw in the twenty-four Sarira, using the demon fire to fuse them together.

  The sarira is the transformation of a high monk's lifelong cultivation, and Luo has these twenty-four sariras, each one crystal clear and round. The hardness of the sarira also far exceeds that of gold and iron, making it even more difficult to refine. Bai Qi used six kinds of demonic fire in rotation to barely fuse the Moon Wheel Sword and the twenty-four sariras together.

  After Bai Qi cultivated the eighth chapter of Qing Lei Zhen Jie, he had tried to refine equipment many times but failed. This time, after the Moon Wheel Sword Pill merged with the Sarira, Bai Qi saw that even the demon fire couldn't thoroughly refine the Sarira and knew it was because his realm was insufficient.

  Having powerful demon fire, yet being helpless against this sarira.

  Bai Qi took out the painting that contained the sword intent of the Jue Xian Sword and stored it in the Huo Zhong Qing Lian. If not for the sword intent of the Bing Jie Sword, he wouldn't have dared to do so. The sword intent of the Jue Xian Sword was extremely violent, and Bai Qi directly refined the painting into the Yue Lun Jian Wan, with the intention of advancing it to a Dao-grade weapon.

  He doesn't have this ability, but the sword intent of Jian Xian does.

  The painting entered the Huo Zhongqing Lian, and the sword intent of the Jue Xian Sword burst out instantly. The twenty-four moon wheel sword pills could not withstand it, and the sarira that had merged with the sword pills seemed to have also sensed the disaster of extinction.

  A burst of pure golden aura erupted from the Sharira, thoroughly merging with the sword pill. On the sword pill, the golden swastika gradually dissipated and transformed into a Taoist talisman seed. The will of the Xuanxian Sword clashed within the sword pill, causing it to shatter with each explosion, only to be re-forged by the golden light emitted from the Sharira.

  Bai's heart was racing and his flesh was trembling. This time he had truly taken a risk. The Sword of Execution's intent was no longer harming him, but it could still destroy the sword pellet.

  After an unknown period of time, the painting suddenly dissolved in Bai Qi's demonic fire and merged into the Moon Wheel Sword Bead. On the surface of the Moon Wheel Sword Bead, 72 talisman seeds appeared instantly, with each sword bead having exactly three.

  This change left Bai Qi caught off guard, the painting scroll disappeared, and the sword energy of Lü Xian was neatly stored in the Moon Wheel Sword Pill. As long as Bai Qi activated these talismans, he could release the corresponding Lü Xian sword energy.

  Bai Qi's heart wavered, his own biological father was not a kind person. At the beginning, he wanted to take over himself and left behind a painting scroll with a hidden sword intent, but it was unclear what it was for.

  "Hey, what's there to fear? I have the Inverse Scale Spear in hand. At worst, I'll just let the Inverse Scale Spear devour the Moon Wheel Sword Maru. If it can't be devoured, then I'll let that ghostly god Kyoukou use the Soldier-Resolving Greatsword. The sword energy of that Soldier-Resolving Sword is far stronger than the Xian-Xian Sword, and I won't be restricted by a single set of sword maru."

  Twenty-four sarira golden lights have been consumed, and the quality of the Moon Wheel Sword Pill has increased by an unknown number of times. Each sword pill is now equivalent to a top-grade spiritual soldier, infinitely close to a Dao soldier.

  Once the twenty-four Sword Pills transform into a Moon Wheel, the intent of the Exterminating Immortal Sword can be used.

  This is not bad, every time he uses the Xianjian Sword Intention, Bai Qi has to forcefully suppress it, lest it backfire on himself. When there's no need, he doesn't want to use this sword technique frequently. The Moon Night Bitter Rain Sword is also a good sword technique, and it's self-created, sooner or later it will become a true Daoji Sword Technique.

  Bai Qi spat out twenty-four sword pellets, but unexpectedly those sword pellets actively absorbed the evil energy. The absorption speed was already comparable to that of the demon spirit gourd. As the evil energy entered the Moon Wheel Sword Pellets, it formed mysterious patterns one after another.

  The meaning hidden in the texture is neither sad nor happy, but full of solemnity. Each line is expanding, and after expanding, it absorbs more killing energy.

  Bai Qi himself didn't know what the Moon Wheel Sword Pill had turned into.
