Lu Ge glanced slightly.

Under the insightful eyes, it was confirmed that the black crystal was Jiutian Black Iron.

Immediately, he raised his hand and put the Nine Heavens Black Iron into the storage ring.

Safe in the bag.

Once the things are in his hands, there is no reason to return them.

"It's better to do things simply. Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

Lu Ge was in a good mood after receiving the Nine Heavens Black Iron, and he said casually.

"A top kendo prodigy has his own pride and would not bother to break his promise."

"It will only cloud your mind, hinder your martial arts, and make you lose more than you gain."

Cao Sihai said slowly, looking quite calm.

"The genius of swordsmanship?"

"It's a pity that you really misjudged me."

Lu Ge shook his head and said calmly.

He would not tell Cao Sihai that at a certain moment before, he had a murderous intention and wanted to kill someone and seize the treasure.

But in the end, Lu Ge cleared away the evil thoughts in his heart.

After all, if he goes on a killing spree for the sake of treasure, then he is no longer Lu Ge, but can only be regarded as a puppet controlled by power.

There are many temptations on the road to martial arts. If you take one wrong step, you will obviously be doomed!

Lu Ge has a clear understanding of this.

After thinking about it, Lu Ge continued.

"But what you said is half right."

"Since it is a fair transaction, I will fulfill my duties. For me, this is just a matter of effort."

After speaking, Lu Ge flicked his finger, and a storage ring was thrown out.

And inside, there are exactly 40,000 spirit stones!

"Friend Lu Dao, how should I send you a message after entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm?"

Cao Sihai then asked.

"Just rely on this communication talisman. Within a thousand miles, if you activate this talisman, I can sense your location."

"Remember, I will only take action once, and the follow-up is up to you."

Lu Ge placed a yellowed communication talisman on the table, then turned and left.

All the materials for refining the Long Yuan Sword have been obtained. The next step is to officially start forging and upgrade the natal weapon into an earth-grade magic weapon!

Lu Ge couldn't wait for this.

…

After Lu Ge left, in the courtyard, Cao Sihai looked down at the ferocious sword marks on his chest, then took a breath and relaxed his nerves.

"We are both at the ninth level of Xuanwu Realm, but the gap is so big. Even if the opponent is already at the peak of the ninth level, I am not weak. However, this guy broke my body-protecting energy with just one sword strike and injured me.

.”

"Is this level of combat power really on the same level as Ye Beifeng, Luo Hanshan and other warriors?"

"Or, this fellow Daoist Lu is even stronger than them..."

Feeling the remaining sword intent in his chest, Cao Sihai murmured, his face a little bitter.

He comes from a down-and-out family, and the strongest one in the family is an ancestor at the third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Since childhood, he has only relied on himself.

After years of struggle, he went through life and death many times, rushing into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range to find opportunities. It took him a hundred years to reach the ninth level of the Xuanwu Realm.

But all this is completely vulnerable in front of the other party.

The difference is obvious.

For a moment, Cao Sihai felt a little depressed, but soon he gave up this emotion and his eyes became firm again.

"He is right. There is not much difference between three years of life and one year of life."

"My only hope is to gain fortune in the Tianyuan Secret Realm and directly attack the Earthly Martial Arts!"

"Next, I have to plan carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong..."

Thinking of this, Cao Sihai moved and left, turning the 40,000 spirit stones he had obtained into strength and foundation.

"Sir...please wait a moment."

Just when Cao Sihai was about to leave, a waiter came over and stopped him.

"Well, what for?"

Cao Sihai frowned and said coldly.

"Sir, this villa is the property of Piaoxiang Yuan. The fluctuations in your previous battle have destroyed the entire outer formation, and this villa also needs to be renovated. The losses involved are probably

There are three thousand small spiritual stones..."

Hearing this, Cao Sihai's face darkened instantly.

He was slashed with a sword and even though he was injured, he still had to deal with the aftermath?

Cao Sihai felt a little depressed again.

But thinking of Lu Ge's power when he attacked, he didn't dare to catch up and split it 50-50.

In the end, Cao Sihai could only curse secretly, pinch his nose and suffer the loss, and spent 2,800 spirit stones to settle the matter.

…

On the other side, Lu Ge had already left the royal capital.

He walked quickly.

After flying hundreds of miles, it finally stopped in an inaccessible mountain forest.

There was a lot of activity in forging earth-level treasures, so Lu Ge had to find a safe place.

Falling from mid-air, Lu Ge waved his sleeves, and four array flags fell in all directions.

Immediately, black smoke billowed out, completely cutting off this space from the outside world.

This is an inverted yin-yang formation!

At this time, from the outside, the mountains and forests are lush and the rivers are rushing, just like usual.

After completing this step, Lu Ge made another thought and sacrificed a corpse puppet with combat power comparable to the fourth level of Earth Martial Arts to guard the place to prevent accidents.

Under the double insurance, Lu Ge felt calmer.

"Now or never."

"After a day of rest and adjusting the state to its peak, we can directly forge the Dragon Yuan Sword!"

Lu Ge murmured and sat down directly on the spot, closing his eyes and concentrating. The Taixuan Sword Jue also operated autonomously, driving the spiritual power to move Zhou Tian.

Day and night change, and one day passes like this.

As for Lu Ge, who was sitting on the ground, his hair was also stained with some dew.

"call."

At a certain moment, Lu Ge opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and stood up.

At this moment, his energy and spirit have been adjusted to their peak, and he has a sense of completion.

"Long Yuan Sword, come out!"

Lu Ge raised his hand and pointed, and the Long Yuan Sword flew out of his dantian and floated in the air. Then, he made a seal with his hands, and a group of dark blue flames emerged again, wrapping the Long Yuan Sword in it.

This is the Dao fire generated by sword essence.

As Lu Ge's cultivation reaches the peak of Xuanwu Realm, the power of this fire is also increasing day by day.

Nowadays, this dark blue Dao Fire is enough for the forging of earth-level magic weapons.

"On top of the Dragon Yuan Sword is the Dragon Emperor Sword."

"The forging materials required for advancement are the finest dragon gold ore, thousand-forged meteorite steel... black gold stone and nine-day black iron."

"The estimated time required is three days and eight hours..."

"During the forging process, it is necessary to maintain the exact temperature of the Tao Fire to make the flying sword pure."

"When the matter is completed, melt the spirit-enlightening iron and submerge it into the Dragon Emperor Sword. In this way, the Dragon Emperor Sword will have some spirituality, and the earth-level magic weapon will become..."

The information about forging a natal weapon passed through his mind. After making sure that there were no mistakes, Lu Ge no longer hesitated.

He stood there, raised his hand, and dozens of mineral materials appeared densely in the void in front of him.
To be continued...
