The old Daoist in red had guarded the Heavenly Fire Island's Sword Refining Furnace for hundreds of years. Anyone who came would have to be polite to him. This was the first time he had been rebuked.
Gao Zhengyang did not scold him. He only pointed out a fact. This guy was so miserable because he was incompetent. This kind of truth was even more lethal than cursing eight generations of ancestors.
The old Daoist in red was so angry that he was stunned. He really had no experience in quarreling. He did not have the courage to fight.
He had stayed in the Heavenly Fire Island's Sword Refining Furnace for too long. He had even forgotten how to fight. He had only learned all kinds of calculations and how to take advantage of all his fellow disciples who came to practice their swords.
The old Daoist in red really had no good way to deal with Gao Zhengyang who did not play by the rules.
The old Daoist in red took a few breaths. "Fine, fine, fine. You insulted Senior Brother. This matter is not over! I can't control you. The sect's law will teach you how to behave! "
"You're just a small steward. How dare you bare your fangs and brandish your claws at an elder of the Ultimate Sword Peak?"
Gao Zhengyang smiled. "Old man, don't you know how bad your background is? If you really go to the Criminal Law Court for a lawsuit, I'll admit defeat if I don't dig up all your greed! "
Gao Zhengyang did not care about this. Although the Ultimate Sword Peak had declined, it was still one of the seventeen peaks in terms of law. As an elder of the Ultimate Sword Peak, his position in the sect was second only to the sect master and the peak masters.
If the Criminal Law Court wanted to punish him, they would have to hold a meeting of all the elders. How dare a stinky steward fight with him? Wasn't that courting death?
Besides, this old Daoist had watched the sect for hundreds of years. Who knew how many benefits he had gained? What right did he have to fight with him?
Gao Zhengyang believed that this old Daoist might be a friend or relative of some big shot, but that was nothing. If the big shot really wanted to cultivate him, there would naturally be a better way.
Leaving him here was just for retirement.
Gao Zhengyang did not want to cause trouble. It was just that this old Daoist did not understand the situation and delayed many things for him. He could not bear to talk nonsense with the old Daoist, so he directly fell out with him.
Of course, this would offend people, but there were countless such small characters on the path of cultivation. What was the point of cultivating if he had to go and torment every time he encountered one?
After being scolded by Gao Zhengyang, the red-clothed old Daoist calmed down a little. That's right, no matter how bad the Ultimate Sword Peak was, it was still one of the seventeen peaks with a Nascent Soul realm elder. He was not someone a small steward like him could provoke.
The red-clothed old Taoist was stunned. He stood up and forced a smile. "Shidi, I misspoke just now."
"I want the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace." Gao Zhengyang did not stand on ceremony and directly asked for the best Sword Refining Furnace.
The volcano on Heavenly Flame Island was a huge furnace for refining swords. However, the interior was divided into many small sword-refining furnaces. Among them, the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace had the best position. It was the center where the Heavenly Fire and Earthly Fire converged.
Generally speaking, such an important Sword Refining Furnace would rather be empty than be casually used by others. He was qualified to be an elder of the Ultimate Sword Peak. However, a newly promoted elder like Gao Zhengyang did not have any experience at all. It would be too difficult for him to use the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace.
Whether it was a favor or a status, the red-clothed old Taoist would certainly not arrange the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace for Gao Zhengyang. However, after being rebuked by Gao Zhengyang, he was a little afraid of this guy. He smiled apologetically and explained, "Shidi, Tianyi is too important. It's not easy for me to arrange it."
Before the red-clothed old Taoist could finish, Gao Zhengyang interrupted him and said, "Cut the crap. I want Tianyi. Arrange it immediately. Also, don't play tricks when I'm refining the sword. I'm fine, but you can't afford the consequences. "
The red-clothed old Taoist was very angry. Gao Zhengyang was unreasonable and even dared to threaten him now. He wanted to see what Gao Zhengyang was capable of. However, when he was swept by Gao Zhengyang's deep and endless gaze, his blood turned cold. All his anger and resentment disappeared, and there was only endless fear and awe in his heart.
"I'll arrange it immediately." The red-clothed old Taoist was really afraid and did not dare to bargain anymore.
In any case, it was Gao Zhengyang who wanted to use the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace. If someone really came to ask, it was Gao Zhengyang's business.
The red-clothed old Taoist admitted defeat and personally brought Gao Zhengyang into the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace. He also gave Gao Zhengyang a large number of fire essence stones.
Fire essence stones were a special kind of fuel that could push the temperature of the sword refining furnace to the limit. Refining swords did not necessarily require high temperature, but generally speaking, swords had to go through high temperature to refine impurities.
For things like fire essence stones, the more the better. However, ordinary disciples were only given one piece, and the quality was not good. Only by giving gifts to the red-clothed old Taoist could he get more fire essence stones.
The red-clothed old Taoist was really afraid of Gao Zhengyang. Without needing Gao Zhengyang to say anything, he took the initiative to give six to seven hundred fire essence stones. He had been withholding these things for hundreds of years, and he did not know how many he had.
According to the treatment of an elder, he should be given two hundred high-grade fire essence stones. Although the red-clothed old Taoist was reluctant, he was really afraid of Gao Zhengyang. He could only do his best to satisfy Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang followed the red-clothed old Taoist to understand the control of the sword refining furnace. He then sent the red-clothed old Taoist away.
The Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace was not small, especially the sword refining furnace in the center. It looked like a scarlet furnace. Above the furnace was the heavenly fire that was guided down. It was fiery gold. Below it was the earth fire that was guided up. The fire was clear.
The golden and green flames intersected, and the flames turned pure white gold.
Countless runes were engraved on the sword refining furnace. One could control the sword refining furnace through a copper pot Dharma artifact.
Gao Zhengyang checked it and confirmed that there were no problems. Then, he took the copper pot and touched it.
A cloud of red smoke came out of the mouth of the copper pot and condensed into the shape of a small person. Although it was formed from smoke, the small person had a very real texture. Not only could one see its facial features clearly, but its eyes were also very lively. One could even see the wrinkles on the Taoist robes and other details.
"Master Taoist, I'm Tian Yi. If you need anything, just tell me."
The small person called himself Tian Yi. He had an oily smile on his face. He looked very much like a waiter in charge of welcoming guests in a hotel.
Gao Zhengyang knew that this small person was the artifact spirit of the sword refining furnace. He did not know how long it had developed intelligence. It was already so oily that it was no different from a human.
His Seven Supreme Swords were a little different from others. It was a little troublesome to be watched by this artifact spirit.
However, he could not hide it from this artifact spirit if he wanted to refine the sword in the Tianyi Sword Refining Furnace. In the entire Heavenly Fire Island, probably only Tian Yi had an artifact spirit.
However, at this stage, he could not change it anymore. With the artifact spirit helping to control the sword refining furnace, it was also convenient for him to refine the sword.
Gao Zhengyang said to Tian Yi, "I want to practice the Seven Supreme Swords. Later, I will raise the furnace fire to the limit and extract as much impurities as possible from the Golden Spirit Sand …"
"It's the Seven Supreme Swords. It has been many years since someone refined the Seven Supreme Swords. I don't know how to do it. "
On the other hand, Tian Yi's attitude was very respectful, appearing to be very obedient. He then suggested, "The fiendish energy of the Seven Supreme Swords is the strongest. The proportion of skyfire needs to be increased. It is best to start in the morning, and wait until noon when the skyfire is the strongest …"
Tian Yi had lived for many years as an artifact spirit. He had forged many flying swords, and was very familiar with the thirty-nine flying sword methods of the seventeen peaks.
When Gao Zhengyang said to forge the Seven Supreme Swords, Tian Yi knew what was the best way to do it. Gao Zhengyang was very satisfied with this.
With the help of an artifact spirit that knew everything, it could save a lot of trouble.
According to Tian Yi's suggestion, Gao Zhengyang rested for a night to adjust his mental state. The next morning, he opened the furnace to forge the sword.
Flying swords were extremely powerful and complex swords. They required all kinds of precious materials, and the forging methods were all different.
Also, the same forging method, the same materials, and different people forging at different times would result in very different flying swords.
Simply put, forging a flying sword was a matter that tested one's character.
Usually, there would be specialized swordsmiths that would help forge the sword nucleus. The cultivators would get the semi-finished products and slowly refine them.
Although the Heart Sword Sect had all kinds of sword forging methods, there were not many who really forged their own swords. Only those who reached rank nine urgently needed a superb sword that could merge with the sword.
If it was not for Yuan Guang's inheritance, Gao Zhengyang, who had just entered the sect, would have directly become an elder of the Ultimate Sword Peak. He would have to wait at least another one or two hundred years before he was qualified to forge his own sword.
The Ultimate Sword Peak was in a difficult situation, so they naturally did not have any good materials to support Gao Zhengyang.
Fortunately, the Seven Supreme Swords were different from other flying swords. They did not need so many fancy materials. As long as there was enough essence and soul, they could forge the Seven Supreme Swords.
Tian Yi, the artifact spirit, started the Sword Refining Furnace, and the white-gold flame in the center gradually turned reddish-gold.
The color of the flame actually showed the change of the Primal Qi inside the flame. The reddish-gold color represented a higher proportion of Heavenly Fire.
There was no difference between Heavenly Fire and Earthly Fire, but each had its own emphasis. For a sword like the Seven Supreme Swords, it needed more Heavenly Fire to refine the impurities.
Gao Zhengyang threw the Golden Spirit Sand into the Sword Refining Furnace. At noon, when the Heavenly Fire was at its peak, he threw in ten Fire Essence Stones and pushed the Heavenly Fire to the limit.
However, the Golden Spirit Sand was extremely pure this time. After refining for a day, he still could not completely refine the Golden Spirit Sand.
Tian Yi was also very surprised. He had refined swords for many years, but he had never encountered such a superb grade Golden Spirit Sand.
After refining for more than 30 days, the Golden Spirit Sand finally melted into a ball of water-colored Spirit Qi. There were no impurities in the Spirit Qi, only pure baleful aura and sharpness.
As the artifact spirit, Tian Yi's expression changed when he was hit by the baleful aura. If he wanted to forge such pure Golden Spirit Sand into a flying sword, even if he threw in Gao Zhengyang's soul, it would not be enough.
Tian Yi thought to himself, This junior is courting death … I hope he doesn't implicate me!
Tian Yi soon realized that something was wrong. Gao Zhengyang kept throwing in his soul essence and blood to feed the Golden Spirit Sand, but he was always full of energy and Qi.
This made Tian Yi feel very strange. He did not know how Gao Zhengyang had managed to do this.
Another several tens of days passed before the Golden Spirit Sand was full.
Tian Yi estimated that during this period of time, he would need to expend several tens of Gao Zhengyang's to reach this stage. He did not know what method Gao Zhengyang had used for it to be so miraculous!
The Golden Spirit Sand was soaked in Gao Zhengyang's soul essence and blood, becoming one with his mind. Under the circulation of his Divine Will, it split into a pair of one-foot-long flying swords.
The water-colored flying swords were as thin as paper and as transparent as water. The one-foot-long flying swords spun and danced in the furnace fire, their agile movements like a pair of flying fish.
Tian Yi knew that this was the crucial moment for the flying swords to take form. The next step was for Gao Zhengyang to pour in his sword intent. When the two swords came into contact with the world's Essence Qi, they would turn from illusory to real, becoming a pair of real swords.
"Dao Grandpa, I have a request, but I don't know if I should say it."
Tian Yi suddenly flew in front of Gao Zhengyang. His small face was filled with humility, and his words were also very polite. However, the threat behind his request at this moment could not be any clearer.
"What do you want?"
Gao Zhengyang looked at Tian Yi calmly, as if he was not surprised by his sudden threat. His deep composure made Tian Yi feel slightly uneasy.
However, since things had already come to this, he could not hesitate any longer.
Tian Yi steeled his heart and said, "Grandpa's Divine Equipment that transforms endless blood essence and souls is indeed marvelous. I would like to see it, but I wonder if it's possible?"
"If you want to see it, sure. Just don't regret it." Gao Zhengyang did not hesitate and agreed immediately. However, his tone was a little unfriendly.
Tian Yi said firmly, "Please bestow it to me, Grandpa, so that I can broaden my horizons."
(Apologies, I have some matters to attend to these two days. I need to adjust myself.)
