Chapter 69: Golden Crow Sword
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was very difficult to obtain a purple entry!
Li Ming did not expect that he would manage to get a purple entry in just three days of refining!
This made Li Ming overjoyed. He had never thought that such a good thing would come out of him refining his natal magical treasure!
However, this purple entry was specifically meant for refining artifacts. Although what it affected was quite limited, it was still undoubtedly a useful entry.
Furthermore, it was a purple entry.
If he could not use it in the future, he could directly synthesize it with other new entries.
Regardless, Li Ming never minded having too many entries.
Moreover, entries above blue were obviously not bad.
Although Li Ming still wanted to have higher-level entries, it was clear that it was not easy to obtain them.
This time, while he did obtain a purple entry, it was only useful for when he refined artifacts.
However, it was also because of this entry that Li Ming’s magical treasure received a huge improvement!
After three long days of refining, when the golden crow true fire slowly extinguished, and when Li Ming placed the completed sword into the water he had prepared in advance to quench it, countless flames rose from the entire sword, and golden flames enveloped its entire body!
With the help of the purple entry, the sword had enhanced attributes.
Because of the uniqueness of the golden crow true fire, the treasured sword also possessed the abilities of the golden crow true fire.
Of course, what Li Ming was really curious about was what was so special about this sword forged from the crystal.
According to the black stone, the crystal that it had given him was something that ordinary foundation establishment true fire would not be able to forge; it was only his golden crow true fire that was capable of doing so.
It was unique and not something that the sect would have been able to provide him.
At this moment, the entire treasured sword reflected colors of black and gold. The blade was extremely sharp, and golden flames would flare on the blade from time to time. It rose and fell, reflecting the golden crow true fire in Li
Ming’s body.
“Not bad.”
Li Ming sized it up. After spending three days, he finally successfully forged his natal magical treasure.
To Li Ming, this was a huge increase in his strength.
And while Li Ming did not have any sword arts of techniques, due to the entries he received when tempering his body, he was proficient in all sorts of weapons.
Thus, he was naturally capable of wielding the sword at least to a basic level.
Li Ming did not hesitate and immediately dripped his blood essence onto the sword again.
As Li Ming was a cultivator who cultivated both body and qi, his blood essence also contained spiritual qi, and it was very dense at that.
After the treasured sword absorbed his blood essence, he could feel a proper connection with the sword!
It was as if the sword in his hand was not just a weapon, but rather an extension of his body.
He could use and operate it freely.
He could even keep his natal magical treasure inside his body, which was not something that he could do with ordinary magical treasures.
This was because of the different way by which the natal magical treasure was refined.
After a cultivator completed refining their natal magical treasure, a void would appear in their dantian. This space was where they could store their natal magical treasure was stored.
When they absorbed their natal magical treasure into their body, it would be converted into spiritual qi and enter the body.
When the time came for it to be used, it would appear outside their body once again.
However, for most people who were at the qi refinement realm and foundation establishment realm, it was impossible for them to keep their natal magical treasures in their bodies immediately after they refined it.
The first reason for this was that their bodies were weak. Even if their spiritual qi was strong, they would have to bear the pressure of their magic treasure when they absorbed it into their bodies.
If it was not for Li Ming having reached the body cultivation foundation establishment stage, his physical body would not have been able to bear the pressure of his natal magical treasure right away either.
The second reason was that the feeding time was not enough, and the connection between the magical treasure and the host had not reached the point where there was no distinguishing between one and the other. As a result, they were unable to absorb it into their body, let alone release it freely.
The reason why Li Ming was able to do so was naturally that his attainments in body cultivation were powerful. In addition, he had the purple entry, Divine Armament Hundred Refinements, which allowed him to save a lot of effort in this regard.
Besides that, the crystal and the refinement via golden crow true fire also played a crucial role.
Regardless, Li Ming was relieved that he had completed the refinement of his
natal magical treasure.
Li Ming named his natal magical treasure the Golden Crow Sword!
His overall strength had increased. Li Ming now placed his focus back on cultivation.
In another half a month, the Law Enforcement Hall’s assessment for new disciples would begin.
After that, the Eastern Continent Sect Competition would obviously be the highlight!
Li Ming knew that the sect might not be as peaceful as he initially thought in the future.
What would come would not merely be the capturing or hunting of demons and beasts.
Instead, there would be true battles, battles of life and death!
For half a month, Li Ming cultivated in the Martial Hall. He circulated the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art non-stop, while at the same time absorbing spiritual qi from his surroundings.
He still continued his training in the most fundamental of stance training, continuing to improve without stop. Even when heavenly fire descended, Li Ming did not seem to be deterred at all.
Instead, he allowed the heavenly flames to ruthlessly wreak havoc on his body!
Then, in the end, he absorbed it.
After half a month of training, with the help of his entries, Li Ming finally felt his cultivation loosening.
As he finished another set of body tempering, he finally experienced another breakthrough in the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art!
He had reached the fourth level!
But that was not all!
The effect of the purple entry [Wild Growth] that he had obtained previously also came into play at this moment!
When Li Ming broke through to the fourth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, the effect of the entry actually allowed Li Ming to reach the fifth level straight away!
His entire strength had increased qualitatively!
Not only that, due to his physique that cultivated both body and qi, Li Ming’s qi cultivation also increased!
This was the effect of cultivating both body and qi at the same time, they supported each other. However, while his qi cultivation did improve, it did not directly achieve a breakthrough. He only reached a critical point.
At this moment, he was only one step away from reaching the late stage of the foundation establishment realm!
In fact, this was already very fast.
In the past, he had been very clumsy in terms of qi cultivation.
It was already amazing that it increased bit by bit with the help of his entries.
Now, he finally had a decent cultivation.
Under the effect of the entries, his problem with regard to his talent had been solved.
And at this moment, he could finally confidently pass the assessment of the Law Enforcement Hall!
As the new disciples of the Five Halls, although there were only five of them, the sect’s assessment had always been strict.
This was especially true for the core disciples like them. It was because it retained its strict standards that the Divine Will Sect was able to have the foundation that it did after all these years.
The Law Enforcement Hall Assessment was a test of the strength for the few new core disciples.
If one’s strength did not reach the standard, they would be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall.
Those who passed naturally became true disciples ot the Five Hall.
At the Law Enforcement Hall, many disciples were gathered here at the moment.
Among the five new core disciples, Chen Qingke, who had been accepted as the last disciple of the elder of the Spirit Will Hall, was also present.
As an existence with great beauty and talent, Chen Qingke had long become the object of admiration of many disciples in the Five Halls.
She naturally attracted the eyes of many people.
However, at this moment, it was obvious that some people’s eyes were not on Chen Qingke.
This time, it was not only disciples who had come to spectate the assessment, but there were also several consecrators from the Consecration Hall who made an appearance!
