"Eight second-level [Swiftness]."

"Eight second-level [sharp]."

"There are sixteen magic arrays in total."

Cao Rui held the newly forged golden sword in his hand with a look of joy on his face.

He stared at the sword intently and could see the magic runes that he had carefully engraved on it and the details of the refining process that he had carefully refined.

This golden sword is Cao Rui's masterpiece, a top-level second-level magic sword.

The golden sword is engraved with dense array runes, and every line exudes a mysterious aura.

These formation runes are intricate and intertwined, forming a huge and sophisticated series system.

Their existence makes the power of this golden sword increase dramatically, and it can exert powerful force.

As time passed, these complex array runes gradually disappeared into the sword body, the spiritual light was restrained, and finally disappeared completely.

The golden sword that originally shone with dazzling light became plain and simple, but it exuded a kind of heart-pounding oppression.

It lay quietly in Cao Rui's hand, like a sleeping beast, waiting to be awakened.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and injected his own magic power into the golden sword, trying to establish a connection with it.

He concentrated his mind and felt the golden sword's response. When the resonance between the two reached a certain level, Cao Rui resolutely bit his finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the sword.

The drop of blood quickly seeped into the golden sword and merged with the formation runes inside.

After a brief silence, Cao Rui used his magic power, and the golden sword suddenly glowed with brilliant light, as if it was reborn. Cao Rui felt a strong power surge in his heart, and he knew that he had successfully sacrificed this magic sword.

He swung the golden sword gently, feeling its weight and texture.

This beautiful magic sword was as easy to use as his own arm in his hand.

Cao Rui decided to test the power of this newly acquired second-level golden sword. He used the sword-controlling technique to control the golden sword to hover in the air.

The golden sword was extremely fast, cutting through the air like lightning, bringing up a sharp sword energy.

Compared to the previous first-level golden sword, the speed of this second-level golden sword has been increased by more than half, and its power is incomparable.

A satisfied smile appeared on Cao Rui's face, and he was extremely satisfied with this newly refined magic sword.

There are still four magic swords that he needs to refine.

Cao Rui took a short break and continued to work on refining the remaining four magic swords.

......

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

On this day, Cao Rui sacrificed and refined his last magic sword - the Earth Sword.

The Earth Sword's magic array has two levels, second-order [Heavy] and second-order [Gravity].

Unfortunately, Cao Rui only mastered [Heavyness] and did not master [Gravity]. There was no record of [Gravity] in the inheritance of the Equipment Refining Institute.

However, at this point, Cao Rui had finally refined five magic swords and could unleash the full power of the Five Elements Sword Formation.

The golden sword, fire sword and magic array were all successfully refined.

The wooden sword only had eight second-level [Mist] spells inscribed on it, and the other eight second-level [Green] spells were not mastered.

Cao Rui has not mastered the Water Sword, [Illusion] and [Confusion], and this is the only magic sword Cao Rui has this time that is not engraved with any magic array.

The earth sword is engraved with the second-level [Heavy] and lacks the second-level [Gravity].

Overall, the five magic swords he refined clearly greatly improved Cao Rui's combat power.

"It's time to go to the Endless Sea and continue to improve my cultivation."

In the world of cultivating immortals, one's own strength is the foundation of everything.

Cao Rui never forgot.

However, as Qingling Market and Lingyin Jade Pendant became increasingly large, it was inevitable that their owner would be entangled in many issues.

However, Cao Rui has also begun to arrange his own team: Zhang Mo, Qian Xiaotong, Mo Chen...

With more and more high-level cultivators available at his command, Cao Rui will eventually be able to become a hands-off boss and focus on improving his own cultivation. He will act as a killer mascot in his daily life, the kind of behind-the-scenes figure who does not need to take action, but everyone fears his strength.

Make some arrangements with Zhang Mo and others.

The next day after refining the magic sword, Cao Rui went straight to the southern part of Xiao State.

The southern part of Xiao State borders the Endless Sea and is extremely deep in the Endless Sea. The coasts are all good places for cultivators who want to hunt monsters.

Cao Rui rode Black Feather and it took several days before they quickly reached the southern part of the Xiao Kingdom.

As soon as he arrived here, Cao Rui sensed the location of the signal tower from afar.

A signal tower with the Lingyin Jade Pendant is set up here, which is also the southernmost signal tower currently.

In today's Xiao Kingdom, Feng Qingyun, a new generation of foundation-building cultivator from the Spirit Beast Sect, is in charge.

A small formation plate of Cao Rui’s signal tower was on Feng Qingyun’s body.

Therefore, as soon as Cao Rui felt the signal tower, the Lingyin jade pendant received Feng Qingyun's message.

This is because Feng Qingyun recognized Cao Rui's identity through the mark on the small array plate.

"Master Cao, why did you come to Xiao State?"

"We come here to hunt monsters and improve our cultivation. How is the situation in Xiao Kingdom recently?" Cao Rui asked.

Feng Qingyun replied: "The Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple have established a blockade at the border, prohibiting mortals and even cultivators from entering Xiao Country."

"However, according to my observations, there are still many independent cultivators coming from the border to Xiao Country every day, and eventually going to our Qingling Market in Yue Country."

Cao Rui nodded slightly. Compared with Ming Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, the current Qingling Market is indeed the most suitable way for independent cultivators to live.

The more the Yunshui Sect and Miaoyin Temple exclude and isolate others, the closer they will be to destruction.

"Master Cao, just focus on hunting monsters. If anything happens, just report back to the signal tower and let me know."

"In the Endless Sea in the southern part of Xiao Country, there are several fourth-level demon cultivators who are ready to make a move. They are not very honest. Please be careful." Feng Qingyun finally spoke to remind.

Cao Rui nodded.

After hanging up the communication with the Lingyin Jade Pendant, Cao Rui let Heiyu enter the storage bag, then raised the golden sword and rushed towards the south deep into the Endless Sea.

There is no buffer zone in the southwest of Yunzhou like the Donghaifang City in the east of Yunzhou.

Because the continental shelf extends too deep into the Endless Sea.

The southern coast of Xiao State has been completely occupied by monsters.

Ordinary people would warn their children from an early age not to go to the south because there were man-eating monsters in the south.

"Hmm? A first-level monster?"

Before entering the sea, Cao Rui saw many first-level monsters running around freely on land.

Originally, Cao Rui thought that the disciples of the Equipment Refining Academy had set up the signal tower too far inside, making it inconvenient for the monks who were hunting monsters here to use the Lingyin Jade Pendant.

After seeing the real situation here, Cao Rui also thought that the previous stronghold was indeed the most suitable one.

The monsters in the sea dare to come ashore, but they dare not go too deep into the land.

Most of the cultivators who come here kill the monsters that have come ashore, and very few foundation-building cultivators dare to go into the sea.

Cao Rui flew on his sword, and with the help of the second-level magic sword, his instant speed reached 4,500 miles.

Soon, Cao Rui left the range of the signal tower, left the coast, and flew into the endless sea on his sword.

Almost as soon as he entered the sea, Cao Rui saw a third-level monster opening its bloody mouth and floating out of the sea to show off its might.
