"How could this be?"
Su Zimo stared at the scarlet flame in his right palm in deep thought.
Of course, he did not think that he was exceptionally talented and managed to attain a Level 3 Spirit Fire right after cultivating it.
However, what was the reason for this to happen?
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. Opening his left hand, he channeled spirit qi and conjured a flame in his palm.
Swoosh!
A faint red flame rose.
Level 1 Spirit Fire.
Two balls of flames burned in Su Zimo's palms. However, their colors were completely different and the temperature they emitted was vastly different as well.
Su Zimo retracted the flame in his palm and tried a few more times.
Each time, the flame conjured in his left palm was a Level 1 Spirit Fire. However, he could conjure a Level 3 Spirit Fire in his right palm!
Su Zimo recalled a detail from the beginning of Qi Condensation.
The second step of Qi Condensation was to draw qi into the body.
Back then, the spirit qi in the air entered his body through his right hand. What did that mean?
Su Zimo frowned slightly and looked at his right hand repeatedly. However, he could not find anything amiss.
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo had no clue and buried that doubt in his heart.
No matter what, it was not a bad thing to possess a Level 3 Spirit Fire right after coming into contact with weapon refinement.
The higher the level of the Spirit Fire, the better the effect of removing impurities when smelting spirit materials!
Under normal circumstances, there was a high chance that a Level 3 Spirit Fire could be used to refine middle-grade spirit weapons!
Of course, for Weapon Refinement Masters, the level of the Spirit Fire was only one of the most important aspects. One had to know how to control the Spirit Fire, temperature, heat and the core of spirit gathering. As long as a single mistake was made in any of the six steps of weapon refinement, it would be difficult to refine a middle-grade spirit weapon.
For Weapon Refinement Masters, those who could refine inferior-grade spirit weapons were Elementary Weapon Refinement Masters. Those who could refine middle-grade spirit weapons were Intermediate Weapon Refinement Masters. Only those who could refine superior-grade spirit weapons could be considered as Advanced Weapon Refinement Masters.
Most Perfected Jin Dan cultivators would only use superior-grade spirit weapons.
Therefore, in the cultivation world, if one could become an Advanced Weapon Refinement Master, their status would be equivalent to Jin Dan cultivators. In fact, in terms of connections and reputation, they would be even wider than ordinary Jin Dan cultivators!
As for the refinement of supreme-grade spirit weapons, the failure rate was too high. Even an advanced refiner would not dare to take it on lightly.
For the rest of the time, Su Zimo received a Weapon Tripod from the old guard as a disciple of Weapon Peak. He spent most of his time in his cave abode practicing his weapon refinement techniques, occasionally cultivating his Qi Condensation to raise his cultivation realm. At night, he continued to study the Marrow Cleansing section.
One month later.
Su Zimo's cultivation had reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation, and he was quite proficient in the art of forging. He had successfully forged a few pseudo-spirit-grade flying swords, but he had made no progress with the Marrow Cleansing chapter.
To be more precise, he didn't even have a clue.
According to the Marrow Cleansing chapter, the sound of tigers and leopards would vibrate the marrow to achieve the effect of cleansing the marrow and exchanging the blood.
Having lived in the Cang Lang Mountain Range for a year, Su Zimo was very familiar with the sounds of tigers and leopards. However, no matter how he imitated the roars of tigers and leopards, he could not achieve the effect of Marrow Cleansing.
After a month, Su Zimo's throat was already hoarse from all the shouting …
Su Zimo could vaguely sense that he might not have learned the correct direction. Therefore, he wanted to find a chance to catch a tiger or leopard to study the sounds of tigers and leopards.
This day, Su Zimo walked out of his cave abode.
At the end of every month, there would be a simple test among the five peaks. It wasn't compulsory and disciples of the various peaks were free to participate.
The first place of the test would have a chance to observe the recordings left behind by the seniors of the sect during weapon refinement.
Every Weapon Refinement Master had a different method. The tempering step, especially, was carried out within the Weapon Tripod. It was the most secretive and would not be shown to others easily.
For the past month, Su Zimo had many doubts. If he could observe the recordings left behind by the seniors of the sect during weapon refinement, it would be of great help to him.
Before long, Su Zimo arrived at the Weapon Refinement Hall of Weapon Peak on his flying sword.
At a glance, there were more than a hundred people!
There were only dozens of trial disciples in Weapon Peak. Where did the others come from?
"Eh, Junior Brother Su, you're here."
Right then, Xue Yi walked over from the side and greeted Su Zimo with a smile.
"Not bad! You're already at Level 5 Qi Condensation!"
Xue Yi praised before asking, "Why? Are you here for the end of month test as well?"
"Yes, I want to give it a try," Su Zimo nodded.
"Alright, it's good that you're here too. Take a look at others' weapon refinement techniques and learn from them," Xue Yi thought that Su Zimo was just here to join in the fun since he had just come into contact with weapon refinement.
"Senior Brother Xue, there are only dozens of disciples in Weapon Peak. Why are there so many people for a single test?" Su Zimo asked.
Xue Yi smiled. "In the sect, disciples of the other four peaks who are interested in weapon refinement can come to Weapon Peak to listen to lectures, participate in the end of month test or even the five peaks face-off at the end of the year. After all, for some geniuses, they would choose to refine weapons, elixirs, talismans and formations while cultivating. "
Su Zimo nodded – that was what he thought as well.
Su Zimo's gaze swept through the crowd casually before landing on a man in purple robes.
The purple-robed man had a proud expression as he raised his head slightly with his eyes closed. Even if he was in the crowd, he could still be seen.
This was the person who joined the sect at the same time as Su Zimo and possessed a variant wind spirit root – Feng Haoyu.
After a month, Feng Haoyu had already advanced from Level 6 Qi Condensation to Level 7!
Xue Yi followed Su Zimo's gaze and said, "I heard that this person is hailed as the number one genius of Ethereal Sect in the past thousand years. Coupled with his heaven-defying spirit root and extraordinary talent, many seniors of the sect have high hopes for him. I heard that he's going to take part in the five peaks face-off at the end of the year and even declared that he's going to be number one of three peaks! "
"Number one of three peaks?" Su Zimo furrowed his brows.
Xue Yi explained, "Even though he's a new disciple, he has a wind spirit root. Even if he's not at perfected Level 10 by the end of the year, he'll definitely be a Level 9 Qi Refinement Warrior. The only person who can compete with him in Spirit Peak is a woman called Leng Rou. I heard that she's a new disciple as well."
"Even if he can get number one of Spirit Peak, what about the other two peaks?" Su Zimo asked again.
Xue Yi lamented, "One is Elixir Peak and the other is our Weapon Peak. Those two peaks are the weakest in the sect. Now that Feng Haoyu has appeared, it's a good thing for the sect. However, we're disciples of Weapon Peak after all. If he takes number one, we'll definitely feel uncomfortable. "
Su Zimo was puzzled and asked, "Feng Haoyu has a wind spirit root. In terms of his control over fire, can he compare to disciples with fire spirit roots in Weapon Peak?"
"Junior brother, do you know that no matter what type of spirit root one has, one can condense spirit fire?" Xue Yi asked.
Su Zimo nodded.
Even without a fire spirit root, one could still condense spirit fire. It was just that in terms of perception, cultivation and control over fire, it wouldn't be as easy and sharp as cultivators with fire spirit roots.
Xue Yi continued, "That's what Feng Haoyu is relying on when his fire lends itself to the wind!"
Realization dawned on Su Zimo.
Under the influence of the wind, the flames would naturally burn even more fiercely.
Xue Yi whispered again, "I heard that Feng Haoyu has already cultivated a Level 2 Spirit Fire!"
Su Zimo froze for a moment before looking at his right hand and nodding. "That's pretty amazing …"
