Most of the materials used to refine normal swords and knives were not enough to enter the eyes of a sword cultivator.
Even the piece of Deep Sea Cold Iron that Gui Ru Quan and the others obtained could only barely be considered as a material for a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword. However, to a few high level sword cultivators, it was not enough.
However, there were too few flying sword materials that were suitable for a sword cultivator and all of a sword cultivator's skills were on a flying sword.
Therefore, there were many sword cultivators who could not find suitable materials and could only use a few normal materials to refine a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword. However, when facing an enemy, they were naturally very careful and did not rashly use this flying sword.
There were even some sword cultivators who were worried about their own safety and simply gave up on the idea of refining a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword. They only found a few outstanding sword type totems to refine. Because of this, although the power of their flying sword was greatly reduced, they did not have to worry about the sword being destroyed and the person dying.
With Liu Ming's current cultivation, he did not need to consider the problem of refining a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword. However, he could first nurture his own Sword Spirit Embryo.
Liu Ming himself was extremely interested in the legendary path of sword cultivators. Now that he had obtained the Great Symbol Sword Technique, he naturally would not give up on cultivating it.
According to the Great Symbol Sword Technique, this Sword Spirit Embryo was only a body of energy. As long as it left the body and was used once, it would weaken a bit and its power would not be comparable to a Yuan Spirit Flying Sword. However, after it was activated, it could still cut through gold and jade. It could kill people within a hundred feet and was not something that a normal totem could defend against.
Of course, the nurturing of this Sword Spirit Embryo also took a lot of effort.
Normally, a Sword Spirit Embryo that could be infused into a flying sword would take at least ten years to thirty to forty years to complete. It depended on the person's cultivation and the person's time spent on it.
In addition, even if the Sword Spirit Embryo reached the requirements to infuse a flying sword, the owner could continue to nurture it in the body and its power would continue to increase without a limit.
As a result, some high level sword cultivators who could not find suitable flying sword materials would have a terrifying Sword Spirit Embryo in their body.
When Liu Ming read these words, he finally had a rough impression of the power of the faint yellow sword in his body. He couldn't help but be speechless.
With the Six Yin Ancestor's frightening cultivation, coupled with the fact that he had been nurturing it until the end of his lifespan, his Sword Spirit Embryo was terrifying. Perhaps no one in the entire Da Xuan Country would be able to withstand a single blow from him.
Unfortunately, according to the description of this sword technique, there were only two conditions to activate the Sword Spirit Embryo.
One was that the person who gave birth to it could easily activate it with the power of their bloodline. The other was that it could be activated with great difficulty by relying on mental strength that far surpassed the original owner's.
For the former, apart from the original owner of the sword embryo and his descendants, no one else would be able to do anything. The latter, on the other hand, required a Divine Sense that was even more powerful than the Six Yin Grandmaster's. No matter how one looked at it, it was similarly impossible to achieve.
Although Liu Ming was very interested in the Sword Spirit Embryo in his body, he could only give up on other ideas and focus on cultivating his own Sword Spirit Embryo.
According to the Great Symbol Sword Technique, if the Sword Spirit Embryo was cultivated using different methods, the Sword Spirit Embryo that was nurtured would also be different. In addition, the materials used to forge the flying sword would be different, so the Flying Sword that was formed would be completely different.
The Great Symbol Sword Technique was obviously a top tier sword technique. The Sword Spirit Embryo that was cultivated according to the method recorded was called the "Great Symbol Sword Embryo". Its power was far greater than a normal Sword Spirit Embryo.
Unfortunately, the first step of cultivating this Sword Spirit Embryo was to collect Great Tungsten Iron, a material that had never been heard of before. Only by absorbing the metal attribute energy within it could one begin to cultivate.
Before, he had already asked Qian Chao about this material, but the owner of the Hundred Spirit House had never heard of this material before. However, he had already agreed to help Liu Ming find out where it could be sold in Xuanjing. However, it seemed that he wouldn't be able to get any information in a short amount of time.
Luckily, he hadn't completely comprehended the breathing method for cultivating the Sword Spirit Embryo yet, so he wasn't in a rush.
As Liu Ming thought about this in his heart, he closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the technique.
Just like that, the night passed by slowly.
On the morning of the second day, Liu Ming checked on Qian Ruping again. After confirming that the girl's body was completely fine, he told her to cultivate in the room and left the Qian House.
This time, he planned on going to the famous underground market of Xuanjing to take a look.
This market was different from other markets. Because there weren't any of the big Sect's people to supervise it, there was naturally no order to speak of. However, because of this, there would often be some rare items that other markets didn't have. Powers like the Hundred Spirit House and the Gathering Treasures Building all had their own shops here.
However, before this, when he sat in the carriage and passed by a certain street, his eyes suddenly glanced at the entrance of a certain alley. After seeing a strange symbol, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
An hour later, Liu Ming once again changed into the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist. Unhurriedly, he arrived at the entrance of the alley and went straight to the coffin shop that he came to last time.
When the owner of the shop, the hunchback, saw Liu Ming's arrival, he didn't feel surprised. Instead, he skillfully closed the door of the shop and without saying anything, led Liu Ming to the back room.
After a while, Liu Ming appeared alone in the secret room that was hundreds of feet underground. He stood in the middle of the formation with a serious expression. He pressed both his hands on the round stone platform at the same time, and the big and small formations were activated at the same time.
On the surface of the stone platform, a multicolored light flashed. Only then did Liu Ming withdraw his hands and his eyebrows furrowed as he muttered to himself:
"West Wind Street, Censor Chen! What was Lei Martial Uncle thinking? Couldn't he have just given me this information when I left? Why did he have to wait until I reached Xuanjing to contact him through the formation? Looks like I can only wait a few days before going to the market. I'll first finish what Lei Martial Uncle told me to do. "
Liu Ming formed a hand sign with one hand and lightly pointed at the stone platform.
Immediately, the sounds of the two formations stopped with a "ga" sound and stopped operating.
Only then did Liu Ming turn around and float out of the secret room.
Two hours later, in front of a luxurious area with red walls and glazed tiles in Xuanjing, a carriage flew along an unusually wide street and slowly stopped in front of an alley.
The door of the carriage opened and Liu Ming, who had returned to his scholarly appearance, jumped out. Looking at the alley in front of him, he walked in with large strides.
This alley was extremely long but there were only five or six doors in it. In front of the doors, there were statues of stone lions and tigers of different sizes.
It was obvious that the people who lived here were either rich or noble. Moreover, one could faintly hear the voices of servants and maids in the houses.
Liu Ming quickly walked past the houses in front of him until he reached the deepest part of the alley. Only then did he stand in front of the last door. Raising his head, he looked at the sign that hung on the door.
In the middle of the sign, the words "Chen House" were impressively written in silver powder.
This Chen House was obviously much more desolate than the houses in front of it. Not only was the ground in front of the house full of dried up dust, it was also completely silent behind the tightly shut door.
After examining it, Liu Ming walked a few steps forward without hesitation and used his hand to lightly knock on the brass ring on the door.
A muffled "dong dong" sound immediately came from the door.
However, after a long time, the door was still as quiet as before and there was no sign of anyone coming out to open the door.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly. Just as he was thinking about whether or not he should use a technique to directly barge in, another door slanted to the side suddenly opened. A man who looked like a servant stuck his head out and looked in this direction.
However, when he saw Liu Ming standing in front of the Chen House and turned around to look at him, he immediately retracted his head in shock. He wanted to close the door again, but it was already too late.
The man only saw a figure flash in front of him and Liu Ming appeared in front of him like a ghost. Liu Ming used one hand to press on the edge of the door. The door that was already half closed suddenly became incomparably heavy and could not be moved at all.
"What do you want to do? This is Lord Wang's house, not a place where anyone can act presumptuously." The servant immediately cried out in shock and anger.
"I don't care about Lord Wang or Lord Li. I only want to ask, why has the Chen House become empty? Where did the people inside go?" Liu Ming asked expressionlessly. At the same time, the palm that he pressed on the edge of the door only exerted a little force.
"Kacha!"
A large piece of the door that seemed to be abnormally hard was suddenly forcefully pulled off.
The servant immediately quivered and hurriedly removed his hand from the door. He smiled apologetically and said, "So it's Lord Qi Practitioner.
"So it's Lord Qi Practitioner. Ever since Censor Chen was imprisoned, the Chen Manor was reclaimed by the imperial court a month ago. I heard that his family is now living in a rented house two streets away from here. If Lord wants to look for them, you can go to that place and find Madam Chen and the others. "
"Do you know the specific location of the rented house?" Liu Ming heard this and asked indifferently.
"I'm not too sure about that. However, there is an old servant in the Chen House. Every afternoon, he would go to the rice shop near the street to buy some food. If Lord goes to the rice shop to wait, you should be able to see him. "The servant nodded and said.
Liu Ming listened and nodded. His body moved and appeared several feet away. He then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
The servant let out a long breath and hurriedly closed the door. However, when he turned around, he was shocked to find a middle-aged man wearing a green robe standing not far behind him. The middle-aged man had a dignified expression on his face.
"Ah, Master?" The servant hurriedly went over to greet him.
"What's the matter? Why did I hear someone talking at the door? Were you talking to someone?" The middle-aged man asked with a displeased expression.
"Reporting to Master, it's like this. There seems to be a guest in the Chen House …" The servant hurriedly recounted what had just happened to his master.
"Qi Practitioner! Are you sure that the person is really a Qi Practitioner? "After the green-robed man heard this, his expression couldn't help but become a little uncertain.
"Reporting to Master, if it wasn't a Qi Practitioner, how would our house become like this?" The servant pointed at the scratched part of the door and said hurriedly.
