Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

"In just ten days, you were able to transform the Thunderclap Sword into this form, with its power increasing dramatically. Senior's weapon-forging skills are truly astonishing."

"Of course, weapon crafting is my forte."

The sword spirit smiled smugly, then realized what was happening and said unhappily:

"Why are you still calling me 'senior'? We've known each other for so long, why are we still so distant?"

"Huh?" Jiang Han asked, bewildered. "If I don't call you 'senior,' what should I call you?"

Calling it "Blade Spirit" would be extremely disrespectful.

The sword spirit frowned and pondered for a moment, then a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and he smiled and said:

"I'm a few years older than you, so why don't you just call me 'elder sister'?"

"what?"

Jiang Han was even more confused. In his past and present lives combined, he was still just a child who was a little over two hundred years old. Was it a little inappropriate for him to call her "sister"?

Seeing that he didn't respond, the sword spirit's face darkened, and she leaned closer to ask him, "What's wrong? You're still not willing?"

Jiang Han quickly waved his hand: "No, no, senior, please don't misunderstand..."

"Ok?"

"Oh no, sister, don't misunderstand."

The sword spirit nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you've improved. Remember that, call me that from now on."

She clapped her hands, flicked her sleeve to collect the refining furnace beside her, and transformed into a beam of light, disappearing back into Jiang Han's dantian, saying as she did so:

"Next time you go out, remember to find some weapon-refining furnaces, and while you're at it, find a chance to capture that Thunder Qilin and see if your sister can refine a top-grade True Spirit Treasure for you."

"Okay!" Jiang Han agreed particularly readily this time.

A top-grade True Spirit Treasure, especially one blessed with True Spirit Essence, its power is immeasurable.

Jiang Han's gaze fell on the Thunderclap Sword beside him, and his eyes gradually burned with desire. If he really had such a treasure in his hands, once his cultivation level was higher, he should be able to directly confront the so-called supreme treasures of the laws of the four major sects.

Only then will he truly be able to fight.

……

Outside the meditation room, Zheng Hanyun, who had been idly meditating, suddenly shuddered and abruptly opened his eyes to look at the meditation room behind him:

"What's that noise? A newly born True Spirit Treasure?"

"Junior Brother Jiang is refining a True Spirit Treasure?? And he's succeeded?!"

He could clearly feel that the fluctuation that could cause his bloodline to vibrate was definitely the aura of a true spiritual treasure.

Moreover, it's not just any ordinary True Spirit Treasure; it must be at least a mid-grade or higher True Spirit Treasure to have this level of shock power!

Zheng Hanyun felt like he was going to go numb. Junior Brother Jiang was talented and strong; this was already abnormal.

Only now did he realize that his junior brother Jiang, who had only been cultivating for five years, was actually a rare genius in weapon crafting.

Right here in this barren and desolate lower realm, right inside this ordinary quiet room with little protection, my junior brother actually refined a mid-grade True Spirit Treasure!

It should be known that True Spirit Treasures are extremely precious; they are powerful magic weapons that even cultivators in the Void Refinement stage can use.

If it is a top-grade True Spirit Treasure, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can use it.

Any weapon refiner capable of crafting a true spirit treasure is highly sought after by various sects, holding an extremely high status, and even the sect leader must treat them with respect.

Even core disciples like them have to be polite to each other when they meet, and even take the initiative to maintain the relationship, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Similarly, high status means rarity. There are very few weapon refiners at this level. There are only eight in the entire Divine Firmament Sword Sect.

Zheng Hanyun shook his head and sighed, wondering how there could be such a monstrous genius in the world, who could do everything and was ridiculously strong in everything. Did he even want anyone else to live?

If people knew that my junior brother had such an outrageous talent for weapon crafting, even the top weapon crafters would probably jump out from their corners to snatch him away.

However, being a weapon refiner is truly enviable.

Back then, in order to ask someone to forge a flying sword of true spirit, he first spent nearly a year building a good relationship with that weapon refiner.

Then, after spending a lot of money to gather the materials and using a lot of spirit crystals as payment, the other party finally reluctantly agreed to forge a mid-grade True Spirit Treasure Flying Sword for him.

But when it came to Jiang Han, he simply went out and grabbed some materials, came back, set up a stove, and burned them. And just like that, the treasure was made—simple and easy.

Sigh... that's truly an enviable ability.

Zheng Hanyun shook her head, and couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If he had such talent and ability, he could probably roam freely within the Sword Sect. Everyone who saw him would respectfully call him Master and would also call him a genius who excelled in both weaponry and martial arts.

At that time, not only will his fellow disciples treat him with respect, but even his master and sect leader will smile at him every day and will no longer scold him casually.

That kind of life is something to yearn for just thinking about it.

"Hey hey hey..."

The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't help but grin, but just then, he suddenly heard someone speaking in his ear:

"Senior brother, has something good happened?"

Startled, Zheng Hanyun quickly stopped grinning, composed herself, and turned back to look at him seriously, nodding and greeting him with a light smile:

"Junior brother has emerged from seclusion?"

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, gently stroking the wrinkles on his chest: "It's nothing, I just remembered some happy things."

"I see."

Jiang Han nodded in understanding. No wonder he didn't respond when he called out several times; he was lost in thought.

Zheng Hanyun glanced at him discreetly, and seeing that he seemed unaware of his lapse in composure, she coughed lightly and said:

"Well then, now that Junior Brother has emerged from seclusion, let's set off."

"Where?"

Zheng Hanyun gestured for Jiang Han to follow, and said as they walked:

“Three days ago, a place of inheritance appeared at the border. Because of its unique location, which is right at the border between our Sword Sect and the Thousand Machine Pavilion, both sides sent people there this time.”

"Originally, it wasn't a big deal. We could all go in and take a chance, each relying on our own abilities."

"Who knew that the Thousand Machines Pavilion would disregard martial ethics and send Wang Yanshi, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, to guard the entrance, wanting to monopolize that inheritance."

At this point, a hint of melancholy appeared in Zheng Hanyun's eyes, and she shook her head:

“My injuries have not yet healed, and I am no match for Wang Yanshi. Senior Brother Meng thought that he should let Junior Brother take action to defeat Wang Yanshi and reclaim the inheritance.”

“I observed that my junior brother was refining a magic weapon just now. It just so happens that Master Wang has a lot of true spirit essence. If we can get our hands on it, we can definitely make my junior brother’s magic weapon perfect.”

Jiang Han's eyes lit up: "True Spirit Essence?"

It's like his wish came true; he was just missing a true spirit essence, and unexpectedly, this led to a clue.

Zheng Hanyun nodded: "That's right. The cultivation technique that Wang Yanshi practiced was called Hundred Refinements of the Machine Immortal, and he also comprehended the Machine Immortal Law."

"Unlike other puppeteers who crush their enemies with an army of puppets, he focuses on cultivating only four top-tier puppets, supplemented by a small number of low-tier puppets. And those four top-tier puppets all possess true spirit essence."

"That's at least four True Spirit Essences, which should be enough for Junior Brother."
