Chapter 647: Only Half Done

Looking at the long sword in his hand that was shining with silver light, "Lu Xin" liked it more and more, and was more and more satisfied. He felt that his forging this time was undoubtedly extremely successful, and he also felt that this meant that his current sword-making level had truly surpassed the level of the initial stepping into the weapon fairy, and took another step forward.

After finally suppressing his joy, "Lu Xin" wanted to test the grade of Xing Tian when he looked at him again. He really wanted to know what grade of fairy sword Xing Tian was now, and he wanted to use this to clarify what level his sword-making level had reached.

"It should probably be above grade nine." "Lu Xin" thought so, but in his subconscious, he actually hoped that Xing Tian could directly become a tenth-grade sword.

A stream of spiritual power slightly extended and surged towards the sword body, and "Lu Xin" quickly began to test the grade of the fairy sword. It was not difficult for him, a sword-making master, to do this, and it could even be said to be very easy.

The power gradually came to the sword body, and at this time, the silver sword body also lit up slightly, and began to slowly respond with its power.

Soon, the power of the ninth-grade immortal sword emerged, which was not beyond "Lu Xin's" expectation. Then, the stronger the test power of "Lu Xin", the brighter the silver light on the sword body was, and the stronger the power in response was.

The corner of his mouth raised a quite satisfied arc, "Lu Xin" knew that the increase in the power on the sword body represented that the immortal sword had truly left the ninth-grade level and developed in a higher direction.

"Lu Xin" didn't want to leave too much suspense for himself, so his spiritual power was directly raised to the level of testing the super-ninth-grade immortal sword, and his eyes slowly closed, as if he was confident, waiting for the response of the immortal sword.

This time, the sword body was brighter, quite obvious. However, after it was bright for several minutes, the light on the sword body suddenly dimmed again at a certain moment, as if the brightness just now was just a flash in the pan, only a moment of beauty.

The whole body was shaking, and cold sweat instantly hung on "Lu Xin"'s forehead. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the long sword in his hand with an unbelievable face, and said in a lost voice: "Not up to the super ninth grade?"

Simple five words, but revealed extremely complex emotions. "Lu Xin" has never doubted his ability to test the grade of immortal swords, because this is one of his most basic abilities as a weapon master. However, the previous repairs went so smoothly, and he didn't feel that he had failed or made mistakes, so why did Xing Tian's test result not reach the super ninth grade?

"There must be something wrong!" "Lu Xin" quickly thought subconsciously, and then he activated his spiritual power again, rushing towards the sword body, and kept muttering in his heart, "I must have accidentally failed to test it well just now, and made a mistake."

Only this time, as time passed, "Lu Xin"'s face began to become more and more ugly. Especially because he kept trying all the ways he could think of to test the sword power, and after putting them into practice one by one, he found that Xing Tian did not reach the super ninth grade, his face became even uglier.

"How could this happen..."

With a "dang" sound, the silver-shining sword fell to the ground, and "Lu Xin" also lost his balance and fell down.

When he looked at the silver-shining sword again, "Lu Xin" suddenly felt that the silver light was like the superficial appearance of a replica, which looked so ridiculous, as if mocking his insignificant sword-making attainments.

His throat rolled back and forth several times, "Lu Xin" kept swallowing saliva, and his eyes began to become more and more lifeless, like a lost child, completely at a loss.

At a certain moment, I don't know whether "Lu Xin" finally recovered a little or his strong will played a role, and Qingming began to gradually appear in his eyes again.

For a weapon maker like him who takes sword-making as his foundation, he worked hard for half a year, even close to a year, but in the end he didn't get what he wanted, and he couldn't prove that his sword-making skills had improved significantly. This was undoubtedly a great blow. But he knew that now was not the time to lose his mind, he had to figure out why!

After picking up Xing Tian who had fallen to the ground, "Lu Xin" carefully felt it for a while, and said bitterly to himself: "It is true that it has not reached the level of super ninth grade, but it is still much stronger than the ninth grade immortal sword. Now Xing Tian's grade is between ninth grade and super ninth grade, how could such a situation happen?"

His brows gradually frowned, and "Lu Xin" began to concentrate on thinking. Such a situation, he subconsciously felt that it should not exist. But after thinking carefully, he felt that Wei Bing seemed to have said that there seemed to be some special situation after the immortal sword surpassed the ninth grade.

After thinking for a while, "Lu Xin" shook his head and did not sort out the thoughts in his memory. After all, when he was in the human world, he had not reached the level of instrument immortal, and then he was killed by Luo Hou. Wei Bing had no chance to tell him in detail the essence of casting after the ninth grade immortal sword.

"What is missing? The casting has been completed, and the sword has been formed, why can't it reach the super ninth grade?" "Lu Xin" decided to analyze the reasons for the failure of sword casting, so he began to think like this.

His eyes kept rolling, and the thoughts in "Lu Xin's" mind were ever-changing. At a certain moment, there seemed to be a sudden flash of light, which made "Lu Xin" feel that he seemed to have caught something, so he exclaimed: "Wait, the sword has a shape? Does it have a shape?"

At this point, "Lu Xin" suddenly discovered that Wei Bing had mentioned the charm of the sword when he taught him how to make swords. Although what Wei Bing mentioned most at the time was the unattainable realm of weapon saints, he said that only by refining dead objects to life, so that the fairy sword is born with gods, and with the sword's will, can the fairy sword surpass the peak level of the weapon immortal forged and reach the level of weapon. The level refined by holy talents. But Wei Bing seems to have said that the meaning in the sword has both big and small meanings.

"The main idea is similar to the faint infatuation that Zhao Wei had when he forged the last sword. The small idea is the fundamental meaning of every attribute or power on the fairy sword." It was like an endorsement. , "Lu Xin" spoke subconsciously.

The moment he said these words, he seemed to understand something, and spiritual power quickly poured into Xingtian again. After searching for a while, he said: "The attribute of gold in the sword does exist, but this attribute is a bit illusory. As if only the surface is left, this is obviously a manifestation of the lack of fundamental meaning in the metal on Xingtian, and this is not only the case with the metal attribute, but also with the Yin attribute that was cast before. "

Having said this, "Lu Xin"'s thinking is getting clearer and clearer at the moment. After thinking for a while again, he exclaimed: "The little meaning that Elder Wei mentioned is the source of power. I remembered it!"

"Although my Xingtian Shangzhang now has two attributes, I, the sword maker, have not clearly understood the source power of these two attributes, and naturally I have not cast the essence of the source power into the fairy sword. But the fairy sword If you want to surpass the ninth level, it is simply impossible to rely solely on the number of attributes and the superposition of ordinary power. No matter how many attributes you have, you will never be able to reach the true super ninth level without the support of source power!"

The moment his thoughts were completely clear, "Lu Xin" thought more and more about the various teachings Wei Bing gave him when he was in the Ziyin Sect. He finally understood that the fact that his Xingtian was able to reach the ninth level before was certainly related to his sword-making skills, but it was also because Xingtian's own background was too strong, and he was extremely perfect when casting the Yin attribute.

However, such perfection in form is limited to the ninth level. If there is no god in the sword in the future, then no matter how many times we perfect the form, we will not be able to continue to improve the level of the fairy sword. This is why it is said that the level of a first-time weapon master is a clear watershed for weapon masters, but it is far from the limit. Because only by transcending the realm of first step can one refine a fairy sword with charm.

From this point of view, the difficulty of the weapon refining process was once again highlighted. Because when you reach the realm of weapon immortal, relying on obsession alone can no longer advance your sword-making skills to a higher level. If you don't have enough cultivation and can't clearly understand the source of power, even if you are the world's greatest weapon idiot, it will be in vain.

The more I thought about it, the more I became slightly excited. After understanding this truth, for "Lu Xin", it was undoubtedly a bit like a self-taught person who had discovered the method of truly becoming a senior weapon immortal. But after a while, he became a little sluggish again.

"But...but I don't have a clear understanding of the source of Yin and the source of gold. How can Xingtian become a super ninth grade now?" Finally discovering the key to the problem, "Lu Xin"'s face was already full of bitterness. .

Although Xingtian is now completed, the casting is not considered a success because there is no source of energy to cast it.

Completion, not success, is half-done.

"I didn't expect that after working for a year, I finally got a half-finished product. This is really..." Looking at the long sword in his hand with some dumbfounding, "Lu Xin" finally sighed heavily.
