Ling Yun brought Bai Xianer to a metal smelting factory in the southern suburbs of Qingshui City early in the morning.
This was the largest metal smelting factory in Qingshui City. Thanks to Tang Meng's hard work, this metal smelting factory was fully owned by Ling Yun even before the Heaven and Earth Group was established.
Ling Yun was only at Qi Cultivation Stage One now. He couldn't create a flying sword out of thin air without modern smelting equipment.
Metals had to be melted, separated, and purified at high temperatures. The required materials had to be prepared properly before they could be fused into a furnace.
Ling Yun went straight to the general manager's office.
"General Li, how's the progress on the matter that General Tang asked you to prepare?"
"Report to General Ling. According to General Tang's instructions, five tons of steel and the workshop for the smelting furnace have been prepared for you."
General Li didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Ling Yun. He was so nervous that he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
This was the chairman of the Heaven and Earth Group, the boss behind the CEO. How could a general manager of a small metal smelting factory not be nervous when Ling Yun came personally?
Five tons of steel was ten thousand kilograms. Ling Yun wanted to extract a few kilograms of metal from this ten thousand kilograms of steel for emergency use.
This was what Ling Yun meant by the four words of cultivation, "Wealth, Companionship, Method, and Place"!
Wealth couldn't increase one's realm, but it could provide all the conveniences for one's cultivation!
If one didn't have a single cent, who would prepare the steel for him? Who would prepare the workshop for him?
"Very well, then bring me there now."
Ling Yun didn't waste any time. He was in a hurry.
When they arrived at the workshop, Ling Yun asked the workshop director to explain in detail how to operate the various equipment and things to take note of.
He had a photographic memory. Once he grasped everything, he sent everyone out.
"Xian Er, let's begin. Learn diligently."
When only Ling Yun and Bai Xianer were left in the workshop, he turned on the switch for the smelting furnace.
Ling Yun's first step was to smelt the five tons of steel. He had the strength of ten thousand kilograms now, so throwing the steel into the furnace was a piece of cake. There was no need for any lifting equipment at all.
The fire was blazing, and the temperature in the workshop quickly rose to more than 40 degrees Celsius. However, Ling Yun and Bai Xianer were unperturbed.
Once the five tons of steel had completely melted, Ling Yun started to divert away the red hot molten steel that he did not need. Finally, he extracted the metals that he needed.
"What a waste of money!"
Ling Yun couldn't help but be speechless as he looked at the metal materials that were finally purified. Ten thousand kilograms of steel had only been purified into about five kilograms of metal.
The ratio was one in a thousand!
Of course, after the molten steel cooled, it was still steel and could be sold for money. But the premise was that if you wanted to refine it, you had to buy it first, right?
"These ten kilograms of metal can be used for emergencies."
Next, Ling Yun threw all the metal weapons in the spatial ring into the furnace to be melted.
This was the real burning of money!
One had to know that those metal weapons were almost all weapons used by Xiantian experts. These metal weapons had been tempered thousands of times. Any one of them would cost more than a million!
If these weapons were placed in the pugilistic world, they would be fought over by ancient martial arts masters. However, Ling Yun just melted them down casually to refine a flying sword!
After a series of procedures of melting, diverting, and purification, Ling Yun finally gathered the metal materials that he needed.
"En, including the ones just now, it's about fifty to sixty kilograms. It's more than enough to refine a flying sword."
Ling Yun released his divine sense and said softly, "Go!"
Dozens of kilograms of metal materials actually flew into the air and fell directly into a very small furnace.
"Xian Er, it's all up to your fire now."
Bai Xianer smiled coquettishly and flew directly to the side of the furnace. She aimed both palms at the furnace, and two fire snakes instantly shot out from her palms!
This was Bai Xianer's Fire Fox Flame Technique, Red Flame Sky Burning Palm.
Since it was called the Sky Burning Palm, the temperature of the flames was unimaginable. The metal materials quickly melted into a molten state and slowly flowed out of the furnace into a narrow sword-shaped groove.
The sword-shaped groove was one foot long and one inch wide. Naturally, this was prepared by Ling Yun.
Ling Yun stood beside the sword-shaped groove with full concentration. When the metal liquid filled the sword-shaped groove, he immediately activated the Yin-Yang harmony balance and mobilized the Yin Qi in his body to directly lower the temperature.
As for the control of the fire, that was naturally the method of Ling Yun, a master of blacksmithing.
"Rise!"
Before the flying sword completely cooled down, Ling Yun used his divine sense to activate the sharp sword. It flew into the air and hovered in front of him, motionless.
The Devil's Underworld Essence Blade appeared in Ling Yun's hands. He wanted to inscribe an array on the sharp sword before it completely cooled down!
A sword without an array was at most a sharp sword. It couldn't be considered a flying sword!
What was a flying sword?
It could be controlled with one's mind, could change its size at will, could be hidden in one's body, and could be incomparably sharp. It could be used to kill people in the air. This was a flying sword!
At this moment, Ling Yun activated his divine sense to the extreme and focused it all on the small sword. Then, he used the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade in his hands to inscribe an array on the blade!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
Ling Yun brandished the blade at lightning speed, consecutively inscribing eight spatial arrays on the blade. Two were Wind Arrays, and two were Diamond Arrays …
They were symmetrically distributed on both sides of the blade. There were a total of twelve arrays!
Of course, the spatial arrays this time weren't to create a space within the blade. Instead, they allowed the blade to change its size at will.
As for the Wind Arrays and Diamond Arrays, they were naturally to increase the speed, hardness, and sharpness of the flying sword.
"Pfft!"
When all twelve arrays were inscribed, Ling Yun bit the tip of his tongue and spat a few drops of blood onto the blade. Very quickly, the blood merged into the blade and disappeared.
Arrays and blood were the most crucial parts of refining a flying sword.
Without arrays, the flying sword couldn't change its size at will. Without blood essence, the flying sword was ownerless. The owner couldn't establish a mental connection with the flying sword and couldn't control it as he pleased.
Only then did Ling Yun put away the Devil's Underworld Essence Blade. His left thumb and index finger held the hilt of the sword while his right index finger and middle finger came together. He activated the Arctic Ice Technique and gently wiped the blade from left to right!
The blade cooled down instantly and became incomparably hard. It was bone-chilling and emitted a misty green glow!
The flying sword was successfully refined!
Ling Yun instantly felt the mental connection between him and the flying sword. It seemed to have a life of its own and could feel Ling Yun's thoughts.
"Haha, it's actually an inferior-grade spiritual weapon. Not bad, not bad!"
There were five types of weapons: magical weapons, spiritual weapons, treasures, dao weapons, and immortal weapons. Each of them was further divided into inferior-grade, intermediate-grade, superior-grade, and supreme-grade.
It was Ling Yun's first time refining a spiritual weapon. Even though it was only an inferior-grade spiritual weapon, it was enough to make him extremely happy.
"Go!"
With a single thought, the green flying sword flashed and disappeared. It went straight for a pile of rebar that was as thick as a child's arm!
"Chi, chi, chi!"
The green flying sword slashed through, and everywhere it passed, the rebar was cut in half. The cut was extremely smooth, showing how sharp it was!
"Return!"
Following Ling Yun's shout, the flying sword received Ling Yun's summons and immediately made a turn in the air before flying back!
"Return!"
The green flying sword shrank rapidly and became smaller than an embroidery needle. It disappeared directly into Ling Yun's mouth.
When Ling Yun had just broken through to the Qi Refinement Stage, he had reached the pinnacle of Qi Refinement Stage Level Three with the help of the Dragon Elephant Divine Force. When he was fighting Grand Duke Dracula, he had used a drop of Divine Energy to mobilize hundreds of huge iron balls in Mansion Number One that weighed a few hundred kilograms. In an instant, he had set up an Armillary Sphere Maze Formation to protect everyone in the mansion.
Now, even though Ling Yun was only in the middle of Qi Cultivation Stage One, this flying sword was his natal flying sword. It was connected to his thoughts. Moreover, this flying sword was an inferior-grade spiritual weapon. Therefore, he could only control it freely within a ten-meter radius.
However, Ling Yun's realm wasn't high enough unless he used a drop of God's energy.
After so many days, Ling Yun finally managed to condense a drop of God's energy between his eyebrows. He couldn't bear to use it now.
Ling Yun opened his mouth and spat out the flying sword. He played with it in his hand and couldn't bear to part with it.
"Congratulations, Big Brother Ling Yun. So this is a flying sword?"
Bai Xianer said enviously as she watched Ling Yun having so much fun.
"Yes, this is a flying sword. Hehe, this is a must-have for traveling. It's a magical weapon for killing and robbing!"
"Big Brother Ling Yun, aren't you going to give this flying sword a name?"
"Yes, this is the first flying sword I've made. Since it's green and as fast as a phantom, I'll call it Green Shadow!"
Green Shadow!
"Xian Er, we've wasted a day here. Let's go," Ling Yun said to Bai Xianer, "Xian Er, we've wasted a day here. Let's go."
…
It was already evening when Ling Yun and Bai Xianer returned to Mansion Number One.
After dinner, Ling Yun led the people from Mansion Number One to set up the Thousand Chance Nine Slaughter Formation once again!
After setting up the formation, Ling Yun went to where the seventy-two disciples of the Immortal Physician Sect were cultivating. He took out seventy-two Marrow Cleansing Pills and handed them to Tie Xiaohu to distribute. Each person had one pill and he made them swallow it on the spot. Ling Yun personally stood guard and cleansed all seventy-two people at the same time.
That night, Ling Yun returned to Qingshui Wharf Mansion Number Nine alone.
Even though Ning Lingyu went to the Qin Family, Qin Dongxue returned.
"Brat, are you going to Beijing?"
"Yes, everything is ready. I've set a date with Cui Lao for tomorrow. We'll fly to Beijing in the afternoon."
Qin Dongxue smiled. "I'll go with you this time."
"Ah!"
"Brat, didn't we agree that I'll kill all over the world with you?"
On the morning of August 16th, Ling Yun bade farewell to everyone in Qingshui City. At noon, he gathered his family for a meal at the Triumph Hotel. There were a total of three tables.
At five in the afternoon, Ling Yun took Qin Dongxue, Cao Shanshan, Mo Wudao, and a dozen others to Ling Lie's private plane. (To be continued.)
