Because it was a confidential mission, Liang Yan did not tell anyone before setting off.
Two days ago, he asked Nan Youyue and Hongyun to secretly select the elites of the Bamboo Army and register them, but he did not say why.
On the night of the third day, Liang Yan quietly left his cave and fled towards Lingyao Mountain where the Yang family was stationed in Baiyu City.
During this visit, he used secret techniques to hide his aura and did not disturb anyone on the way.
Deep in the heart of Lingyao Mountain, there is a deep cave, surrounded by restrictions. Inside, you can faintly see the glow of different colors, and the crisp sound of swords can be heard.
This is the sword-making cave of Yang Kang and Mei Yan. Without their permission, even members of the Yang family cannot approach.
In the pitch-black night, a ray of light fell down and stopped at the entrance of the cave. It was Liang Yan who had quietly arrived here.
He coughed deliberately, then cupped his hands in the direction of the cave entrance, and said softly: "Two fellow Taoists, Liang is here to get the sword."
The sound of sword forging deep in the cave paused for a moment, and then Yang Kang's old voice was heard coming from the cave: "The Lingtian Sword is still being forged, why did Fellow Daoist Liang come here uninvited?"
Liang Yan sighed: "The situation has changed and I have to do it as a last resort. How is the casting of Lingtian Sword now?"
"Only the last little bit is left. Since fellow Taoist friends are here, you might as well go into the cave and have a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual light flew out from the depths of the cave and soon released the restrictions near the entrance of the cave.
Liang Yan did not hesitate, entered the cave entrance, and walked along a deep secret passage. After a while, he saw a huge underground palace appearing in front of him.
This underground palace was built in the heart of Lingyao Mountain. There are countless light blue lines carved on the floor and surrounding walls, which are crisscrossed and extremely complicated.
Liang Yan obtained the "Tiangong Secret Scroll". Although he didn't study it for a long time and his own weapon-making skills were not top-notch, his vision and insight were extremely high.
He could tell at a glance that these patterns seemed chaotic, but in fact they were mysterious. They were a unique weapon refining pattern. The entire underground palace was made into a huge fetal membrane by Yang Kang and his wife, and was gestated in the fetal membrane.
Sword Spirit, created from scratch, is exquisite!
Looking at the middle of the underground palace, there is a huge sword furnace, suspended on ice blue flames.
"Cold Marrow Ice Flame!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the origin of the flame.
In fact, Yang Lu had reminded him before that Lingyao Mountain contained a large amount of cold crystals, which could be used to temper flying swords. However, he did not expect that the source of these cold crystals actually gave birth to cold marrow, which was refined by Yang Kang and his wife using secret methods.
Transformation, eventually giving birth to "cold marrow ice flame".
This fire is an excellent fire for refining ice attribute magic weapons, but it has a characteristic that it must be made from local materials. Once it is moved, the cold marrow will dissipate immediately, and the "cold marrow ice flame" can no longer be refined.
Therefore, there are rumors from the outside world that this fire can be encountered but cannot be sought, and it is a rare treasure that is rare in thousands of years.
At this moment, on the east and west sides of the sword furnace, two figures were sitting cross-legged in the sky. They were Yang Kang and Mei Yan.
The two people worked together in a division of labor, with one concentrating on controlling the furnace fire, while the other deduced the timing, occasionally throwing in various sword-making materials, and pouring spells into the sword furnace.
"You came."
Yang Kang cast a spell and threw three precious ores into the sword furnace. He didn't look at Liang Yan and just said hello casually.
This is not because he meant to be negligent. In fact, refining a sword requires a lot of energy, especially refining such a top-quality flying sword, and there must be no mistakes.
Of course Liang Yan understood, so he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked solemn and saluted the two of them with clasped fists.
"You two fellow Taoists have worked so hard. I didn't expect that you actually found the 'Cold Marrow Ice Flame' and used it to refine my sword. I'm really grateful!"
After hearing this, Yang Kang laughed and said: "The reason why our Yang family chose to station in Lingyao Mountain is because there is cold marrow in it. My husband and I have always wanted to forge a top-quality flying sword with cold attributes, but we just didn't have the right equipment."
The materials, you just sent the Lingtian Dagger, coupled with the 'Cold Marrow Ice Flame' and 'Ten Thousand Years Golden Milk', as long as the furnace is not exploded, I can guarantee that the quality of this flying sword will be better than any of yours in the past.
Flying sword!"
"Then we'll see."
Liang Yan smiled, but then sighed and said, "It's a pity that my schedule has changed. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day when the sword is completed."
Yang Kang was a little surprised and asked: "This flying sword can be made in half a month at most. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Liang can't even wait for this time?"
"It's not that I don't want to wait, but it's because I have military affairs and I can't tolerate Liang abusing his official position for personal reasons."
After Yang Kang heard this, he looked at Mei Yan and understood something in his heart.
Recently, several secret orders came out of Xuanxin Palace, and the whole of Nanxuan is making intensive preparations. The Yang family is a wealthy family, so of course they have heard some rumors and know that Nanxuan's counterattack is imminent.
However, Liang Yan's mission is a secret. No one except Xuanxin Palace knows about it, not even the monks who want to accompany him on the expedition, let alone Yang Kang and his wife.
"Fellow Daoist Liang's cultivation is unfathomable and his mind is first-class. It seems that he has another mission."
Yang Kang thought secretly for a moment, sighed and said: "Once the war begins, there will be too many variables and the future is unpredictable. This flying sword must be handed over to you in advance, otherwise my Yang family will break their trust and our ancestors will be disgraced."
Already."
"It's just that there is still one final step before the sword can be completed. With the strength of the two of us, the progress is slow."
After hearing this, Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask what this last process is?"
"Fight for it!"
It was Mei Yan who answered him. The white-haired old woman coughed and continued: "I'm ashamed to say that your magic weapon 'Lingtian Dagger' is really weird. Even with my couple's many years of experience in refining weapons, I can't see this."
What is the material used for the magic weapon? Although it was barely recast with the 'Ten Thousand Years Golden Milk', the flying sword turned out to be unruly after it was formed. It was supposed to be released seven days ago, but we haven't fired it until now.
, if a flying sword has no edge, it is no different than scrap metal."
"I see."
Liang Yan nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "Two Taoist friends, Liang does know a method, maybe you can give it a try."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Liang is also an expert in weapon refining?"
Yang Kang was a little surprised. While refining the weapon, he looked at Liang Yan again.
"I'm not an expert, I just happen to know a side trick. It's like treating a dead horse like a living horse." Liang Yan said with a smile.
"In that case, you might as well talk and listen."
"No, you two just need to open a corner of the sword furnace and let me cast the spell."
Hearing this, Yang Kang and Mei Yan looked at each other, both hesitant.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, there is no room for mistakes in the process of sword refining. You should tell us your method first, and we can discuss it together before taking action." Yang Kang said thoughtfully.
"It doesn't matter, fellow Taoist, just open the furnace cover. If there are any problems, I will be responsible for them myself." Liang Yan said decisively.
After hearing this, Yang Kang wanted to say something more, but Mei Yan stopped him with his eyes.
"Since Fellow Daoist Liang is confident, the old woman won't ask any more questions. It's just that once the furnace lid is opened, you will be responsible for the consequences. Even if the furnace explodes, you can't blame us." Mei Yan said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, Liang has his own plans and will never act rogue."
"good!"
Mei Yan didn't say anything more, she glanced at Yang Kang, and the two of them cast a spell at the same time.
Boom!
The huge sword furnace vibrated, and a moment later, there was a "bang" sound, and a corner of the nine-dragon furnace cover above it lifted up.
"Fellow Daoist Liang, the furnace lid has been opened, cast the spell quickly to prevent the essence from leaking out!" Yang Kang shouted.
Liang Yan had been waiting for this moment for a long time. With a pinch of the magic formula in his hand, four rays of sword light came out from the Taixu gourd on his waist. They were divided into four colors: green, silver, purple and black. Each one was unparalleled in sharpness and sword energy.
pressing!
Even though Yang Kang was a sword cultivator, when he saw these four sword lights, his eyes could not help but twitch wildly, and he felt a chill in his heart.
"If this sword falls, I'm afraid the old lady's head will fall to the ground!"
Yang Kang shuddered in his heart, and when he looked at Liang Yan again, he was already more frightened.
This is not fear of Liang Yan, but a subconscious awe, just like a male lion in the jungle. No matter how gentle it appears, ordinary people will still instinctively feel fear in front of it.
We are both swordsmen, but the difference between us is like the difference between clouds and mud!
Liang Yan didn't notice Yang Kang's expression, or in other words, he was completely focused on it and had no intention of paying attention to other things.
With the pinch of the sword formula in his hand, four sword lights fell from the sky and flew into the sword furnace almost at the same time.
"Closing the furnace!"
Liang Yan shouted.
Yang Kang came to his senses and did not dare to neglect. He immediately cast a spell with Mei Yan to close the lid of the sword furnace again.
With a sound of "Bang!", the furnace lid fell, and four more sword pellets appeared in the sword furnace. Through the bronze furnace wall, the light of the sword could be faintly seen circling, and the sound of sword clanging could be heard endlessly.
"This is."
The scene in front of him was beyond Yang Kang's understanding, so that he had no idea what Liang Yan was going to do.
"Two fellow Taoists, please cast your spells with all your strength to unleash all the power of the 'Cold Marrow Ice Flame'. Liang will use the 'Sword Fighting Technique' to lead the Lingtian Sword!"
"How to fight with swords?"
Yang Kang and Mei Yan looked at each other, and both saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes. With their many years of experience in sword making, they had never heard of this method of attacking.
However, since it was Liang Yan's advice, they should obey it.
The two of them did not hesitate, they both sat upright in mid-air, clasped their hands together, and fired one spell after another, maximizing the power of the "cold marrow ice flame".
Seeing the fire burning brightly, Liang Yan also narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sword techniques in his hand kept changing.
The clang of swords sounded in the furnace, and four sword lights came and went, faintly holding up a light blue sword light. The sword light kept trembling, and after a moment, it actually broke free from its restraints and fought fiercely with the other four sword lights.
At!
Powerful sword energy emanated from the furnace and swept through the entire cave.
The originally impregnable Ice Palace was continuously washed away by these sword energies, and soon became riddled with holes. Even Yang Kang and Mei Yan had to cast spells and sacrifice magic weapons to resist the sword energy escaping from the furnace.
Fortunately, these are just scattered sword energy emitted from the five-ray sword fight. They are not very powerful and can be resisted even by the cultivation level of Yang Kang and his wife.
Liang Yan never moved a step from beginning to end.
His eyes were fixed on the sword furnace, the magic formula in his hand was constantly changing, and the trajectory of the four sword lights was mysterious and mysterious, as if the four masters were training a newborn baby.
The light blue sword light sometimes rushed towards the cyan sword light, but after only a few moves, it was knocked back. Then it turned to the purple sword light. After a few moves, it was also bounced back, and it went back and forth like this.
Moving between the four sword lights.
While Yang Kang and Mei Yan were casting spells, they were also observing the strange phenomena in the sword furnace.
At the beginning, Ling Tian Sword and any of Liang Yan's flying swords could only hit each other, and were bounced away almost instantly. But as the sword fight continued, Ling Tian Sword became more and more powerful!
Gradually, a biting chill emanated from the sword furnace.
With the sword furnace as the center, a thick layer of frost appeared around it. The frost continued to spread to all directions, and it took only half a quarter of an hour to freeze the entire underground palace.
If anyone enters the Sword Making Cave, they will definitely be surprised. It feels like it is an ice tomb where no one exists and there is no life at all.
But deep in the palace, sword-making continued.
Liang Yan, Yang Kang, and Mei Yan all used magic to create a space that was not disturbed by the cold.
Among them, Liang Yan concentrated on sword fighting, while Yang Kang and his wife used all their strength to activate the fire and cooperate with him to open the Lingtian Sword.
Until now, the Lingtian Sword has finally exuded its sharp energy, and has been fighting back and forth with the four swords Zi Lei, Mayfly, Black Lotus, and Dingguang. Although it is still suppressed, it can persist for a long time every time.
"It's done right now!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The method of opening the front he used was actually a secret technique recorded in the "Tiangong Secret Scroll"!
Tianji Pavilion is an ancient Confucian sect who is especially good at refining weapons. Liang Yan has read ancient books and knows that there is such a method. Although his own sword refining skills are worse than those of Yang Kang and his wife, if he just makes an attack, he can
It can be done!
In this way, the three of them worked together to refine the sword. After about half an hour, the vibration amplitude of the sword furnace had reached its peak!
Five rays of sword light came and went in a horizontal direction, and the sword energy roared, passing through the sword furnace and piercing the surrounding ice tombs.
"The sword's edge has been opened and it's out of the furnace!"
Liang Yan suddenly shouted and pointed with his hand, and the lid of the sword furnace opened with a "bang!", and then four sword lights chased a blue sword light and flew out, hovering in mid-air, and the swords roared like dragons!
"Fellow Daoist Liang, this sword already has spirituality when it is first formed. Quickly identify its owner with a drop of blood, and put it into the sword pouch. Don't let its spirituality dissipate!" Yang Kang reminded from a distance.
Of course Liang Yan knew the importance of this step, and without any hesitation, he shot the blue sword light in front of him with a move from the air, then cut his fingertips and dropped a drop of blood on the sword body.
Zheng!
The light blue flying sword was seven feet long, like autumn water, and radiated a chill all over his body. Yang Kang felt the blood in his body freeze just by looking at it, so he turned his eyes away and did not dare to look again.
"What a sword!"
Liang Yan laughed loudly and flicked the sword with his finger. He heard the clanging sound of the sword and turned into a beam of rays of light, which penetrated into the Taixu gourd at his waist.
