Chapter 197: Sword Embryo Formation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He took out a jade scroll from his bosom. The jade scroll recorded the formations that each sword embryo needed to be engraved with and the method of refining it.
There was nothing special about the refining method. He understood at a glance.
His attention immediately focused on the four formations.
He had never seen these four formations before. Just this was enough to pique his interest. The jade scroll had detailed descriptions of these four formations.
Li Ming was dumbfounded.
This was a fourth-grade formation!
The four fourth-grade formations were all different!
Only now did he understand why Su had never found someone who could refine this sword embryo. Each sword embryo had to be engraved with a fourth-grade formation. Four sword embryos were four fourth-grade formations.
Moreover…
There was a mysterious relationship between the four formations.
He had thought that he was fully prepared, but now, he knew that refining the sword embryo was much more difficult than he had imagined!
He could not help but shake his head. He had really suffered a loss in this mission!
The difficulty of this mission was enough to make Su pay a huge price. Li Ming was filled with regret for missing such a good opportunity.
Because he was penniless now.
His gaze landed on the formations again. First, he had to decipher these four formations.
If he couldn’t understand it, how could he carve so many formations on such a small sword embryo?
If it was in the past, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying anything. He definitely couldn’t do four completely different fourth-grade formations.
However, his flame had just been upgraded, and he had the help of the Kun Lun jade scroll.
After studying the Kun Lun introductory formation jade scroll, Li Ming’s confidence had reached its peak.
He chose the challenge!
He studied the four formations according to the description in the jade scroll. At this moment, he finally realized how much benefit this Kun Lun jade scroll had given him!
After comprehending the Kun Lun jade scroll, Li Ming’s thinking and vision improved greatly.
Fourth-grade formations had many aspects that were difficult to understand, let alone four fourth-grade formations.
However, Li Ming persisted and used five days to roughly understand these four formations.
When the four formations appeared in front of him, an indescribable sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously. All his fatigue was swept away. He only felt comfortable all over, wishing he could roar into the sky.
Li Ming did not use the Double Chain Fourfold Fire Formation that Lin Qian
suggested. He wanted to use this opportunity to test out a new flame.
“Anyway, it’s not my thing,” Li Ming thought.
Four Cold Magnets were placed in front of Li Ming. He had cut them into different sizes last time. But now, this was not a problem for him.
He set up a spirit-gathering array around him and sat cross-legged. A five-colored pagoda floated in front of him. The five-colored pagoda could make his control over the power of the five elements stronger, and his control over flames was one of them.
With a flip of his palm, a new flame appeared three inches above the top of the pagoda. Li Ming gave the new flame a name, “Ink White Flame.” Since no one had given it a name, then it would be given a random name.
The core was black, the middle was dark red, and the exterior was milky white.
The inky-white flame burned quietly. It was no longer as violent as before. It was extremely docile.
Li Ming’s eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness. He threw the smallest Cold Magnet in his hand into the Ink White Flame.
He poured his spiritual energy into the Ink White Flame, and the flame suddenly expanded, tightly wrapping around the Cold Magnet. The first thing to do was to use flames to extract the impurities from it.
This was a long process. However, Li Ming was not one of them. His divine sense was so strong that he could easily distinguish the location of these Cold Magnets. Therefore, his speed increased by a large margin.
A day later, the impurities in the Cold Magnet were removed.
During this period of time, he had to maintain a stable output of spiritual energy. With the help of the five-colored pagoda, this difficult process became much easier for him.
Then, it was the shape of the sword.
Li Ming took a deep breath and suddenly increased the output of his spiritual energy. The ink-white fire rose. In the quiet room, two completely different auras, one cold and one hot, constantly collided, emitting crackling sounds.
The Cold Magnet slowly melted in the flames and finally turned into a pool of molten iron.
Unexpectedly, the liquid in the furnace was not crimson, but a strange greenish-black with an extremely cold aura.
The five-colored pagoda started to spin under the white flame. It spun faster and faster, and soon, it turned into a five-colored light shadow.
It was as if an invisible force was pulling the liquid metal, causing it to begin to transform.
As time passed, Li Ming’s forehead began to sweat. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and he seemed to be having a hard time. However, under his control, the five-colored pagoda did not slow down at all.
Instead, it was getting faster and faster!
In the light, the liquid metal slowly flowed and gradually formed the shape of a sword.
Only then did Li Ming get a chance to catch his breath. The spirit-gathering formation beside him had long been exhausted by his spiritual energy and turned into ashes.
This was the real highlight!
Li Ming’s eyes were wide open, and he did not relax at all.
The melted metal liquid gradually solidified, and the originally green-black liquid suddenly turned blue.
Li Ming’s heart was in turmoil. His hands were like blooming flowers. Spiritual light flew out of his hands and entered the fiery red sword embryo.
The sword embryo did not move at all.
No, just this little bit of fire was not enough!
Li Ming gritted his teeth and urged the spiritual energy in his body. The black flames in the deepest part of his body licked the sword embryo clean like a thin and black tongue.
At the same time, he made a hand seal.
Another stream of light entered the flames.
The azure sword body suddenly shone brightly. The formations seemed to be carved on the sword body, extremely clear.
Li Ming did not stop at all. His eyes were wide open, and the spiritual energy in his body circulated crazily. His hair stood on end. His entire body was like a huge vortex, sucking in all the spiritual energy in the array.
The tide was surging towards him.
A huge amount of spiritual energy poured into his body. Even with the support of the demonic mo matrix, he still felt unbearable pain.
But now, he didn’t have the time to scream. His fingers moved faster and faster, continuously shaking. One formation after another entered the sword embryo.
This high-intensity refining process lasted for a full six hours.
A trace of blood silently flowed from the corner of his mouth and slid down his cheek.
His ten fingers paused in front of him, and a bright beam of light hit the sword embryo.
Whoosh!
“Buzz!”
The sword embryo shone brightly, then dimmed and disappeared.
A small dark blue sword floated in the air.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
Su, who was waiting outside, suddenly raised her head. A hint of joy flashed across her eyes.
Four green and black sword bases were floating in front of her..
