Chapter 338: Flying Sword Refining Method, Magu’s Ambition

“Master, you want…”

Lu Qing saw the look on his master’s face, and a glimpse of understanding dawned on him.

“Judging from the situation in this village, I’m afraid the situation in other villages isn’t any better.

I’ll go around first and see just how much the changes in the world are affecting ordinary people.

That way, I can prepare early, so I won’t be caught off guard when things get tough.”

The old doctor said, his tone heavy.

“Master, don’t worry. I’ll take care of the family.”

Lu Qing nodded.

He knew his master was a compassionate doctor, a mindset that remained unchanged even after becoming an immortal cultivator.

He certainly couldn’t bear to see ordinary people suffer.

For the past two years, his master had occasionally taken him on trips to the surrounding villages, providing free medical treatment to elderly people who couldn’t afford it.

It was natural for him to be worried after such a long absence.

“Master, give me your sword. I’ll help you re-refine it,”

Lu Qing said suddenly after a moment’s thought.

“Re-refine? I think this sword is quite good.”

The old doctor didn’t hesitate, taking out the sword and handing it to Lu Qing.

Yet, he felt a bit puzzled. In his opinion, the sword Lu Qing had gifted him was already excellent.

Its edge was imperceptible, indestructible. Even his full blast couldn’t damage it in the slightest. It was a supreme divine weapon.

“This sword was forged by me back then. My forging skills were still immature, so it still has many flaws,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

The sword he had given his master was forged from meteorite iron.

Back then, his spiritual power was still immature, at the post-natal realm, so he could barely forge it to divine weapon level.

Honestly, the material had been somewhat wasted.

Now, his strength had transformed, and he possessed a forging tool like the Lihuo Ding.

It seemed time to help his master upgrade his weapon.

When Lu Qing placed the divine sword into the Lihuo Ding, Yan’s eyes nearly widened.

“A sword forged entirely from meteorite iron, and yet it’s just an ordinary sword? Who would waste such a gift?”

Yan was astonished.

You know, even in the ancient era of immortal cultivation, meteoric iron was considered an extremely precious refining material.

Many magical instruments and treasures would instantly see their quality greatly enhanced if they could incorporate some meteoric iron.

Meteoric iron was even considered one of the best materials for refining spiritual embryos, second only to rare treasures like Chaos Divine Iron.

When the Lihuo Sect forged the Lihuo Cauldron, they incorporated a significant amount of meteoric iron into its body.

Even in the young sect leader’s final words, when introducing the Lihuo Cauldron,

he lamented that if their Lihuo Sect had possessed sufficient meteoric iron, perhaps the Lihuo Cauldron would not have been defeated in a clash with the enemy sect’s spiritual weapon.

One can only imagine how precious meteoric iron was.

Seeing a mortal sword crafted entirely from meteoric iron now, how could “Yan” not be astonished?

“It was forged by me.” Lu Qing was a little embarrassed. “When I forged this long sword, my cultivation was still shallow and I couldn’t condense any restrictions on it. I could only barely forge it into an ordinary weapon. I am sorry to have embarrassed you.”

Lu Qing knew that in the ancient times of cultivating immortals, weapons and treasures were generally divided into four levels:

ordinary weapons, magic weapons, treasure weapons, and spiritual weapons.

So, although the master’s long sword was completely regarded as a peerless divine weapon in the eyes of the world,

it had no restrictions inside and could not communicate with the power of heaven and earth. In the eyes of a master of weapon refining like “Yan”, it was still just an ordinary weapon.

“…” Hearing Lu Qing’s words, “Yan” was speechless.

It never expected that the guy it was talking about who was squandering natural resources was actually Lu Qing.

For a moment, it didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, Lu Qing took the initiative to defuse the awkward situation, saying with a smile, “So, I’d like to invite you to re-refine this precious sword, and also my precious sword.”

With that, Lu Qing took out his own sword and placed it in the Lihuo Cauldron.

“Another mortal weapon, completely forged from meteorite iron?”

Yan’s eyes widened again at the sight of Lu Qing’s long sword.

Lu Qing hadn’t had time to re-refine his sword since his breakthrough, so it remained a mortal weapon. After

a while, Yan regained his composure, his gaze shifting, and asked, “Young Master, do you have a lot of meteorite iron?”

“Yes, quite a bit. I got it from the Qiankun Yiqi Bag some time ago,” Lu Qing didn’t deny. “

From the Qiankun Yiqi Bag. How could Taoist Xunfeng have such a large collection of meteorite iron?”

“Taoist Xunfeng?” Lu Qing wondered.

“The Taoist Xunfeng was the former owner of this Qiankun Yiqi Bag. In the ancient era of immortal cultivation, he was a renowned spiritual master. He possessed remarkable skills

in wind-based Taoist techniques.

This Qiankun Yiqi Bag was his famous magic weapon.

However, he was a solitary man, rarely interacting with others, and quite mysterious.

No one knows what became of him, or why he left this bag behind.”

“Yan” slowly explained.

“I see.” Lu Qing understood.

When he first obtained the Qiankun Yiqi Bag, it was unknown whether his cultivation level was too low or what.

The detected information did not directly indicate the name of the person who refined the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

Only now did he learn that the other person was actually Taoist Xunfeng.

“This Taoist Xunfeng has an eccentric temper and dislikes socializing. In ancient times, he was a rather solitary Yuanshen cultivator.

I wonder where he obtained so much meteoric iron from.”

Yan sighed.

Cultivating a path is inherently difficult, and the hardships and dangers along the way are countless.

It’s safe to say that achieving Yuanshen isn’t easy for anyone. This is

especially true for those Yuanshen masters who each possess unique skills, powerful methods, and countless life-saving methods.

Major sects generally avoid provoking them unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, few people know their adventures and heritage.

Just like now, if it weren’t for Lu Qing, Yan would never have known.

The Plague Ghost had actually obtained such a rare treasure as Chaos Divine Iron, and Taoist Xunfeng had also collected a large amount of meteoric iron from outer space.

This suggests that every Yuanshen master is truly a person of great luck, each with their own unique predestined relationships and unique encounters.

“Yan” hesitated for a while and said, “Young Master, since you have some extra meteorite iron in your hand, I wonder…”

“Senior, do you need meteorite iron?”

“Yes, at the end of the ancient era of cultivating immortals, the Lihuo Sect fought a life-and-death battle with the enemy sect, and I collided with the opponent’s sect’s spiritual weapon and fought for a long time.

Although both sides suffered damage in the end, I was the one who was more seriously injured. The body of the Lihuo Cauldron was also cracked.

Until today, it has not been fully recovered.

If I can obtain some meteorite iron to absorb, I can not only completely repair the body of the cauldron, but perhaps my essence can also become stronger.”

Lu Qing thought of the information about the Lihuo Cauldron detected by his supernatural power and the last words left by the young master of the Lihuo Sect, and knew that “Yan” was not lying.

The Lihuo Cauldron had indeed suffered significant damage, and when the Lihuo Sect had originally forged this spiritual weapon, they had incorporated a significant amount of meteorite iron into the cauldron.

He nodded, “Of course. If you can fully recover, it would be a great help to me.

After I’ve finished refining these two weapons, I’ll give you the meteorite iron to absorb.”

While the meteorite iron was precious, the Lihuo Cauldron was now Lu Qing’s spiritual weapon.

Fully restoring it would be a boon to him.

“There’s no time to lose, let’s begin!”

Upon hearing this, Yan became impatient.

Lu Qing smiled faintly and, likewise, channeled his mind into the Lihuo Cauldron, beginning to refine the sword.

The next day, Lu Qing removed the refined sword and tossed a large piece of meteorite iron into the cauldron, allowing Yan to slowly absorb it.

He then carried the newly refined sword to the courtyard halfway up the mountain.

“Is this a newly refined sword?”

the old doctor examined the sword carefully.

The longsword had transformed, becoming even more chilling and intimidating.

Most importantly, mysterious runes loomed on the blade, exuding a truly mystical aura.

“Master, I’ve imbued this sword with water and fire restrictions, capable of channeling and amplifying the spiritual energy and power of both.

Master, you specialize in the ways of water and fire, so it should be a good match for you,”

Lu Qing explained.

“Indeed, I can faintly sense the power within this sword resonating with my own spiritual power.” The old doctor looked surprised. “Ah Qing, how do I wield this magical sword?”

“After Master has sworn righteousness through a drop of blood, you can cultivate it with your mind and spirit.

Over time, the sword will become connected to your heart and soul.

Once you’ve thoroughly refined it, you can incorporate it into your dantian to aid your cultivation.

Also, keep this jade slip. It contains the method for cultivating the flying sword.

Once you’re familiar with it, you can add your own restrictions to nourish this magical sword.”

Lu Qing took out a jade slip and handed it to Master.

Although this precious sword had only been refined with a single layer of water and fire restrictions, it was currently only a low-grade magical sword.

However, due to its exceptional foundation, its power was in fact comparable to those of treasure-grade magical swords.

As long as Master had mastered the techniques for refining the flying sword, he would be able to add his own restrictions in the future, enhancing the magical sword’s power.

“That’s fine. That way, I won’t have to bother you all the time,”

the old doctor said without hesitation, accepting the jade

slip. Seeing Master put it away, Lu Qing smiled.

It was strange; Master had always possessed a compassionate demeanor, yet his talent in swordsmanship was incredibly prodigious. He

had barely killed a few people, yet he had mastered the realm of unparalleled sword energy.

The path of cultivation was truly profound and boundless, beyond comprehension.

After receiving the magical sword, the old doctor didn’t linger for long. He shouldered his medicine basket and headed down the mountain, preparing to explore the surrounding countryside.

Lu Qing watched Master’s figure leave, not withdrawing his gaze until he was out of sight.

“Young Master, your Master is truly a remarkable person.”

Within the Lihuo Cauldron, Yan, upon learning the purpose of the old doctor’s outing, developed a newfound respect for the elder.

Despite being an immortal cultivator, he remained true to his original aspirations, adhering to his heart to treat a group of frail mortals.

With such a steadfast spirit, he was sure to achieve great things in the future, provided he didn’t perish midway.

“Master, he’s always been like this.”

Lu Qing, hearing the quirk in Yan’s tone, smiled.

He had originally wanted to accompany his Master on the free clinic, but the current situation didn’t allow them to let their guard down.

After all, they had made quite a few enemies during their trip to Zhongzhou.

It was only a matter of time before those enemies could uncover their origins and whereabouts.

If he and his Master were both away and their enemies came looking for them, that would be disastrous.

Therefore, he still needed to guard Jiuli Village.

As for his Master, he had the magic sword he had forged, along with his Master’s sword energy domain.

Lu Qing believed that no one in the Xiantian realm could threaten his master.

The old doctor’s free medical appointments usually took ten days to a month.

So, for the time being, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan decided to stay in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

After all, it was quiet here, and whatever he did wouldn’t disturb the villagers.

The next afternoon, the Wei family’s motorcade arrived at the courtyard halfway up the mountain again.

“Brother Lu Qing!”

“Little Doctor Lu!”

It was the Wei chief steward who escorted the motorcade, but this time, Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an, the master and disciple, also arrived.

“You’re here too, why don’t you stay home for a while?”

Lu Qing smiled upon seeing the two.

“Well, I’m tired of staying home, so I wanted to come and play in the villa.

As for my master, he’s been forced into marriage by his family and has come to the village for refuge!”

Wei Zi’an announced a shocking news.

“Oh, Master Ma is getting married?”

Lu Qing looked at Ma Gu in surprise.

“That’s not true, Brother Lu Qing, don’t listen to that bastard!” Ma Gu glared at his disciple and shook his head. “That’s just my parents’ nagging. I’ve never thought about that.”

“Master Ma has no intention of getting married?”

Lu Qing was somewhat surprised.

Ma Gu was already in his thirties, which, in this era, even if a warrior had a long lifespan, would be considered quite old.

It was surprising that he had never considered starting a family.

“Having seen the pinnacle of existence, how can I be content with mediocrity?” Ma Gu said solemnly.

“Now I simply want to focus on martial arts, strive for breakthroughs, and reach the Xiantian realm. I don’t even consider matters of love or s*x.”

If it were the Ma Gu of the past, perhaps he would have obeyed his parents’ wishes, honestly found a good woman, married, had children, and lived out the rest of his life in peace.

After all, he knew his talent; no matter how hard he tried, he would never become a martial arts master and reach the Xiantian realm.

But now, after his trip to Zhongzhou, he had witnessed the battles of many powerful warriors, especially the charisma of Lu Qing and the old doctor.

In addition, after absorbing a stream of primordial energy, his aptitude greatly increased.

Magu’s goal had quietly changed.

He was no longer satisfied with simply becoming a post-natal martial artist. He wanted to climb higher peaks in the martial arts world and see more beautiful scenery. He

even wanted to glimpse the legendary immortal cultivation path.

Compared to this, the mere affairs of men and women were nothing.
