Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"These are auxiliary materials for forging the Sunlit Immortal Sword: Sunlit Sword Stone, Fire Sun Stone, Golden Plate Stone, etc..."

"Now that you have refined the Sunfire Seed, you will assist in refining these materials."

"Using materials refined from the Sunfire Seed to forge the Sunfire Immortal Sword will yield much better results!"

Fei Qinan then pointed to the materials on the wooden table and spoke to Zhou Ling in a serious tone.

These materials are all fifth-tier materials, and they all contain the most yang and masculine attributes.

Its power is extremely strong; ordinary spiritual flames simply cannot refine it.

Only a spiritual flame like the Sunfire Seed, which also contains the most intense and yang attributes, can be refined.

And remove the impurities.

The effects of the Spirit Flame in Ficchinan's hands were not as good as those of the Sunfire Seed.

That's why Zhou Ling was asked to assist in the refining process.

This can be considered as Zhou Ling's reward for fusing the Sunfire Seed.

Moreover, refining materials with Sunfire can increase the Sunfire attributes contained within them.

Hearing this, Zhou Ling naturally had no objection.

After all, this was something he had already agreed to.

However, he plans to go to Moonlit Immortal City first, so he may not be able to refine these materials quickly.

He immediately raised an eyebrow and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Senior Fei, are these materials in a hurry?"

Not knowing why Zhou Ling asked this, Fei Qinan nodded and smiled, "Of course it's urgent!"

"You've been in Sun City for five months now, and you have seven months left before you have to go back!"

"Therefore, no matter what, we must forge this Sunlit Immortal Sword within the next seven months!"

"Otherwise, you will have to stay and guard the Sun City!"

"Seven months to forge the Sunlit Immortal Sword!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling was taken aback. This didn't seem to be a difficult task for him.

With his current weapon-forging skills and the assistance of the fifth-order Qianyang True Fire, he is confident that he can forge the Sunlit Immortal Sword in one or two months.

However, it's not something I can easily mention to Ficchinan.

Even a fifth-tier weapon refiner like him would need several months to forge a fifth-tier Sunburst Immortal Sword, and there's no guarantee of success.

To say something like that would be incredibly arrogant.

"Don't overthink it, kid."

"I won't let you suffer a loss."

"I heard my senior brother mention last time that he would pass on the method of forging warships to you."

"This is the method for forging a fifth-order sword seal. Consider it payment for your help in forging the Sunlit Immortal Sword!"

As he spoke, Fei Qinan took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Ling.

He knew that his senior brother had passed on the method of forging warships to Zhou Ling, although he was not Zhou Ling's master.

But in reality, he had already been kind enough to teach and mentor Zhou Ling.

He also didn't want his sword-forging techniques to be lost in his hands.

After all, he had taken in several disciples, but the strongest one could only forge a fourth-tier sword.

Its potential has been exhausted.

Zhou Ling, however, is different. At his age and with his cultivation level, he was able to repair the fifth-order Sun Immortal Sword with the help of spiritual flames.

It's beyond doubt that he'll become a fifth-tier swordsmith in the future.

He might even be able to break through his realm and reach the sixth-order weapon refiner.

In the future, they will also be able to win back honor for the swordsmiths of their Dao Alliance.

After all, the Dao Alliance's swordsmiths have existed for thousands of years, and no one has been able to forge a sixth-tier sword.

And he pinned his hopes on Zhou Ling.

"Fifth-order sword imprint!"

Looking at the jade slip, Zhou Ling couldn't help but show a look of joy.

His rapid improvement in warship forging was also inseparable from Ji Siqing's help.

In particular, the inscriptions on his warships contain numerous annotations and explanations.

This saved Zhou Ling from taking many detours.

And this sword mark from Ferchinen was undoubtedly extremely important to him.

After all, even if you exchanged for this kind of fifth-order sword seal in the Dao Alliance's treasury, you might not be able to get it.

Moreover, there is an introduction and explanation of Fichnan above it.

He naturally wouldn't be polite about such a good thing.

He took the jade slip from his hand and bowed to Fei Qinan in thanks, "Thank you, Senior Fei!"

"No need to thank me."

"When you came to the Sword Qi Great Wall, my senior brother had already sent someone to tell me that he could pass on the method of refining sword seals to you!"

"Tell me, you are very likely to become a sixth-tier swordsmith in the future!"

"I was initially skeptical of what he said, after all, the Dao Alliance hasn't produced a sixth-tier swordsmith for thousands of years!"

"Even for an old man like me, it would be difficult to take that step!"

"After observing you for some time, I can say that you have passed the test!"

"You are a person of upright character, and you have the passion to sacrifice your life for the people of the Dao Alliance."

"In addition, he has amazing talent and has fused with the Sunfire Seed."

"That's why I've decided to pass on this sword-making skill to you!"

"Fichnan said seriously."

"I will never forget your kindness, senior!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling hurriedly stood up and knelt down before Fei Qinan.

This way of imparting knowledge and skills is not much different from that of a master.

However, Ficchinen did not mention any intention to take him on as a disciple.

He naturally couldn't address him as a disciple.

After all, in the Dao Alliance, the bond between master and disciple is like that between father and son.

Extremely important.

Ordinary cultivators do not easily accept disciples.

Moreover, this fifth-order sword imprint is far more precious to him than a fifth-order treasure sword.

"Get up!"

Fei Qinan readily accepted Zhou Ling's bow, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a soft force helped Zhou Ling up.

He then smiled and said, "I wonder if my senior brother has mentioned our lineage's heritage to you?"

"Senior Ji didn't mention it to me!"

Zhou Ling shook his head and said.

As for Ji Siqing, Zhou Ling only knew that he was one of the few fifth-order weapon refiners in the Dao Alliance, and that he mainly refined warships.

After all, the difficulty of forging a warship is no less than that of forging a fine sword.

As for its origin, it is completely unknown, and there is no record of it coming from any powerful weapon-refining sect of the Dao Alliance.

Ji Siqing didn't mention this, and naturally he wouldn't ask any further questions.

After all, this is other people's privacy.

Moreover, he wasn't the type to pry into other people's business.

"To be honest, my fellow disciples and I are from the Immortal Artifact Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect!"

Fei Qinan raised an eyebrow and then spoke to Zhou Ling.

"Immortal Sect! Immortal Artifact Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling was taken aback, not expecting that the weapon-refining inheritance of Fei Qinan and his fellow disciples did not come from the Dao Alliance.

Instead, it comes from the Immortal Artifact Sect, one of the Four Great Grotto-Heavens!

He didn't know much about the situation of the Immortal Sect, and he didn't say anything.

"Back then, we chose to leave the Immortal Weapon Sect and come to the Dao Alliance because our refining philosophy differed from that of the Immortal Weapon Sect!"

Ficchinen's gaze was deep, as if he were lost in some kind of memory.

"Sigh, forget it, let's not dwell on the past!"

Ferdinand shook his head, then looked at Zhou Ling and said seriously,
"I'm giving you this fifth-order sword seal as payment for refining these materials."

"Furthermore, we hope that you will fulfill the wishes of us fellow disciples and become a sixth-tier weapon refiner!"

"This junior will certainly not let down the expectations of the two seniors!"

Zhou Ling immediately cupped his hands and said.

With the spiritual flame in his hands, plus the assistance of his own talent.

He was quite confident about becoming a sixth-tier weapon refiner in the future. After all, he possessed the [Sixth Transformation] talent, and others would need to reach at least the Nascent Soul stage to have any chance of refining a sixth-tier treasure.

But if he reaches the Nascent Soul realm and uses the spiritual flame, he might have a chance to refine it.

Of course, the spirit flame must also reach the sixth level.

However, this is just Zhou Ling's current speculation.

As for the specifics, one can only understand them once one reaches that level.

"it is good!"

Fei Qinan praised Zhou Ling's confidence.

He then laughed and said, "From now on, our reputation as fellow disciples might depend on you!"

"Senior Fei, why do you say that?"

Zhou Ling asked in surprise.

Given Fei Qinan and Ji Siqing's status in the Dao Alliance, even the highest-ranking members of the Dao Alliance have to give them face.

What do you mean by that? You still have to rely on yourself to maintain appearances?

Zhou Ling was somewhat confused.

"When my fellow disciple and I left the Immortal Weapon Sect, we made a vow that we would one day defeat the Immortal Weapon Sect in the field of weapon crafting."

"But over the years, both my senior brother and I have been stuck at the fifth rank, with little chance of advancing to the sixth rank."

"And the Immortal Artifact Sect currently has four sixth-level weapon refiners."

"Therefore, the task of defeating the Immortal Artifact Sect and promoting the Dao Alliance's weapon-refining techniques will depend on you in the future!"

"Fichnan said with a serious expression."

"Rest assured, senior, I will do my utmost!"

Zhou Ling cupped his hands in reply.

Having learned how to forge warship inscriptions from Ji Siqing, he also learned how to forge sword inscriptions from Fei Qinan.

He naturally felt obligated to do such a thing.

Moreover, the art of weapon crafting doesn't involve fighting or killing, so there's no harm in agreeing to it.

"Alright, take a good look at these sword imprints. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me!"

Seeing Zhou Ling's sincere attitude, Fei Qinan nodded with a smile.

"Senior, could we postpone the forging of the Sunlit Immortal Sword for a few days?"

At this moment, Zhou Ling spoke up again to ask.

Right now, we need to get to Moonlit Immortal City as soon as possible.

Let's see how Dean Gong is doing.
"Why?"

Upon hearing this, Fichtenham asked with a puzzled expression.

"To be honest, senior, the reason I have such swordsmanship is mainly due to Dean Gong of the Nine Heavens Sword Academy, who went to Moonlit Immortal City a couple of days ago."

"The situation in Moonlit Immortal City is not optimistic!"

"Therefore, this disciple wishes to visit the Moonlit Immortal City!"

Zhou Ling said frankly.

"You're going to Moonlit Immortal City?"

"It's not appropriate right now!"

Ficchinan shook his head and said.

He hadn't expected that Zhou Ling would postpone his sword practice for this reason.

However, given the current high risks in Moonlit Immortal City, he did not recommend that Zhou Ling go there.

"I am well aware of the risks involved, but I also have some knowledge of the Blood Fiend Array of the Star Sea Alien Clan."

"Therefore, going there will be of some help to the cultivators of the Dao Alliance!"

"Besides, with the Sunlit Immortal Sword in my hand, I won't be in any danger!"

Zhou Ling spoke with extreme confidence.

Hearing Zhou Ling say this, Fei Qinan couldn't really refute it.

Although he knew Zhou Ling was quite powerful, given his talent in weapon crafting, there was really no need for him to take such a risk.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Come with me to the main camp in Chengcheng."

"Let's see what he has to say."

"After all, City Lord Cheng knows more about the current battle situation in Moonlit Immortal City than I do."

As the lord of the immortal city, he can receive information about the battle situation of other immortal cities every half hour.

Therefore, Cheng Yi was the most aware of the battle situation in Moonlit Immortal City.

"it is good!"

Zhou Ling nodded.

Regardless of what Fei Qinan and Cheng Yi meant, he was determined to go to Moonlit Immortal City.

Dean Gong provided him with considerable assistance.

He absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to her.

The two then left the tent.

Before long, they arrived at Cheng Cheng's main camp.

Lord Cheng was examining the jade slip in his tent.

Upon seeing the two arrive, he gestured for them to sit down and then personally poured them spiritual tea.

He then looked at Zhou Ling and congratulated him with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou, on successfully entering the late stage of the Golden Core realm!"

With his cultivation level, he could naturally see the changes in Zhou Ling's aura at a glance.

"Thank you, City Lord, I was lucky!"

Zhou Ling remained humble as he spoke.

He then spoke again, "This junior plans to travel to Moonlit Immortal City. I have come here to inquire about the current situation of the battle there, senior."

"You're heading to Moonlit Immortal City?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi looked surprised and asked Zhou Ling with a puzzled expression.

He knew from their last battle that Zhou Ling was quite strong.

However, he was merely a disciple sent by the Dao Alliance to undergo trials at the Sword Qi Great Wall, and he was not qualified to arrange for him to go to the Moonlit Immortal City.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling directly applied to go to Moonlit Immortal City.

“City Lord, as you know, I broke the Five Phases Blood Fiend Array of the Star Sea Alien last time. I have some understanding of the Star Sea Alien's Blood Fiend Array.”

"Going to Moonlit Immortal City will also allow me to contribute to the Dao Alliance!"

Zhou Ling said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi nodded and praised, "If our Dao Alliance had more cultivators like Brother Zhou who are powerful and responsible, what would we have to worry about with the alien races in the Star Sea!"

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke again with a solemn expression, "We just received a battle report from Moonlit Immortal City."

"The purpose of the Star Sea Alien Clan's siege of Moonlit Immortal City this time is not to seize Moonlit Immortal City, but to set up the Eight Desolate Blood Dragon Formation to trap the cultivators who went to rescue it."

"In just a few days, over a thousand cultivators have been trapped in the Eight Desolate Blood Dragon Formation, including a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Other human cultivators are also doing their utmost to rescue!"

"It can be said that we are currently in an extremely passive position in the battle situation in Moonlit Immortal City!"

"You should think carefully before you go!"

In the current situation, Zhou Ling's abilities are limited, so his role is not significant.

He also advised Zhou Ling against going.

Moreover, with many human cultivators trapped in the Eight Desolate Blood Dragon Formation, the Dao Alliance dares not rashly activate the Seven Star Sword Formation.

They were worried about accidentally injuring the human cultivators trapped in the Eight Desolate Blood Dragon Formation.

"Eight Desolate Blood Dragon Formation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned slightly, not expecting the situation to be more serious than he had anticipated.

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will take good care of myself!"

Zhou Ling said decisively.

"In that case, I can send some guards to accompany you!"

Cheng Yi nodded and said.

Regardless, we must ensure Zhou Ling's safety.

"That won't be necessary. Sun City's military strength is insufficient right now. This junior and the other four trial disciples can go!"

Zhou Ling said this.

"All right!"

Hearing Zhou Ling's words, Cheng Yi didn't insist any further. (End of Chapter)
