In order to prepare suitable shelter spirit swords for the sword spirits caused by Geng Xin, Elder Zhao Yuan has been forging the spirit sword for two years.
Now it seems that this has affected his performance of his duties as a preacher and elder.
This incident originated from Gengxin.
As the master of Gengxin, and for the safety of Guiyi disciples when they went out for training, Lin Yige had no choice but to intervene.
"How is the refining of Elder Zhao Yuan's spiritual sword going?"
Liu Fufeng replied: "Sword spirits are too picky. Elder Zhao Yuan's sword needs to be reforged more than ten times before he can make a suitable one. To this day, there is still a sword spirit that does not have a satisfactory spirit sword to inhabit."
Lin Yige frowned and thought for a while. Most of those sword spirits passed through the hands of several disciples of the Guiyi Sect, and gradually became spiritually inspired, turning from spiritual light into sword spirits.
She couldn't remember any spiritual sword that was so difficult to handle!
"Which sword spirit is that sword spirit originally from?"
"It is the Earth Fire Mingyi Sword that the second generation leader used when he was young. Over the past year, Elder Zhao Yuan has been reforging the sword for the Mingyi Sword Spirit."
Thinking of Elder Zhao Yuan's devastated look after he finally forged a sword that was instantly broken by the Mingyi sword spirit, Liu Fufeng couldn't help but show some sympathy.
When Lin Yige heard that it was the Earth Fire Ming Yi Sword of the second generation master, he felt a little relieved when he thought of the pile of fire materials in Ziyang Palace.
"With the current batch of Red Flame Stones and Fire Spirit Crystals, we should be able to meet the requirements of the Mingyi Sword Spirit."
The Earth Fire Mingyi Sword is a fire-based spiritual sword, so naturally it cannot be refined without the fire-based materials.
The Red Flame Stone, Fire Spirit Crystal, Night Mountain Fire Jade, etc. produced in the Fire Rhinoceros Secret Realm are all excellent fire refining materials.
It turns out that when the second generation leader used the Earth Fire Mingyi Sword, the sword still only had a little aura and did not give birth to a sword spirit.
Later, when the master mastered the art of swordsmanship, he could turn flowers and leaves into swords, so he abandoned the Mingyi sword and buried it in the sword tomb to wait for someone destined to do it.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the sword has yet to find a new owner that fits it perfectly.
When Lin Yige went to the Sword Tomb to choose a sword, she also tried it on her hand.
It just didn’t suit me who had only water spiritual roots.
Unexpectedly, the Earth Fire Mingyi Sword has not had a new owner to use its sword skills to inspire spirituality for tens of thousands of years, but in the last thousand years, it has evolved into a sword spirit on its own?!
Thinking of this, Lin Yige felt a little worried again.
This kind of sword spirit with a particularly stubborn temper and a willingness to accept death will find it difficult to find a new master.
In other words, Elder Zhao Yuan tried every means to reforge the spiritual sword for it, but it will only be buried in the sword tomb in the future, and will not become the spiritual sword of the disciples of the Guiyi Sect.
The sword spirit can assist the master of the spirit sword to display sword energy and understand the sword's intention. In contrast, the sword cultivator must use the spirit sword for many years to promote the spiritual growth of the sword spirit.
If the newly forged Earth Fire Mingyi Sword cannot be used by sword cultivators, it will be difficult for the Mingyi Sword Spirit to continue to grow in intelligence and will have to stop here.
The sword spirit cannot grow, and the spiritual sword cannot be used, which is tantamount to a waste of natural resources!
After thinking about it, Lin Yige directly ordered Liu Fufeng, saying: "Master Nephew Fufeng, go and tell Zhao Yuan that when he recasts the Mingyi Sword, the Mingyi Sword Spirit will choose the master among the disciples of the Guiyi Sect."
Elder Zhao Yuan still doesn't know that the person in charge of the acting head of Guiyi Sect has been replaced by Wen Caiwei.
He is old-fashioned and accepts death, so naturally he cannot accept an outer disciple like Wen Caiwei who has not yet formed an elixir to become an inner disciple, let alone an outer disciple who has not passed the test of true inheritance, to take charge of the sect.
Lin Yige asked Liu Fufeng to tell Zhao Yuan about this, in order to ask Zhao Yuan to choose Wen Caiwei as the master of the Earth Fire Ming Yi Sword.
In this way, there is no need to work hard to convince Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan will not embarrass Wen Caiwei too much.
Liu Fufeng didn't react for a moment, he just went through the new disciple in his mind.
He said with some embarrassment: "The only ones who don't have spiritual swords in the Guiyi Sect are the new disciples who have recently joined the Guiyi Sect. But none of these new disciples have fire spiritual roots..."
Originally, people had the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, but monks with single Fire Spiritual Roots were the rarest.
The fire spirit energy absorbed by the fire spirit root is the most violent. If it is not restricted by other spiritual roots, it can easily make people lose their mind and set themselves on fire, leading to negative consequences.
It is even more difficult for such a person to break through the maze of trials of the Guiyi Sect.
"Did you forget that there is Caiwei?" Lin Yige reminded via voice transmission, "The first prize of Honglihui is Yunshan Zhumi. Caiwei and I have used it, and her spiritual roots have broadened a lot." Chaos spiritual roots can absorb a single spiritual energy, and after refining, they can transform themselves into balanced five-element spiritual energy for their own use.
Vice versa.
Chaos spiritual roots can also absorb the five elements of spiritual energy, and after refining, they can be converted into spiritual power of single or multiple attributes.
Because of this, there is no magic weapon in the world that the Chaos Spiritual Root cannot use, and there is no spell that the Chaos Spiritual Root cannot learn!
This is also the reason why Wen Caiwei's Chaos Spiritual Root barely exceeds one point, which can be considered as a prefecture-level qualification.
Liu Fufeng glanced at Wen Caiwei, who was concentrating on counting the materials for the fire industry.
The purple light from Junior Uncle's purple bamboo whip only covered Junior Sister Caiwei's torso, but did not protect her hands that stretched out from the purple light to count the spiritual materials.
The moment Wen Caiwei's white and tender fingertips came into contact with the fire element through the purple light, she started to blister.
The spiritual power circulates and then disappears in an instant.
Over and over again, she frowned slightly and her eyes turned red, as if she was holding back the burning pain.
He couldn't help but frown, and said via voice: "Junior Sister Caiwei has a balanced chaotic spiritual root of five elements, but she is so delicate, and what should she do if the Mingyi Sword Spirit takes over?"
If Junior Sister Caiwei is unable to control the Mingyi Sword Spirit, and it is backlashed during the sacrifice, hurting her sea of consciousness or soul, won't the entire Heming Mountain matter have to fall back on his shoulders?
In comparison, practicing swordsmanship is easier!
Understanding spells is much simpler and more interesting than managing sect affairs!
"Why do you underestimate Caiwei?" Lin Yige glanced at him and said via voice transmission, "If Mingyi Sword Spirit hurts Caiwei, he will bury it back in the sword tomb and seal it for thousands of years." Liu Fufeng held his forehead, Junior Uncle's confidence in Junior Sister Caiwei was really unreasonable!
He sighed, what can a nephew do?
I can only follow my uncle's wishes.
Speaking of which, he made a special trip out of seclusion to report to his master that he had understood the meaning of the sword outside Xiaohan Cave, without even seeing his master's face.
I heard Elder Gu Xiaoyun say that my uncle had gone through the Golden Core Tribulation before, and the master not only took the initiative to leave, but also stayed by to protect the Dharma for a long time.
I really don’t know whether the master’s true disciple is Liu Fufeng or his junior master uncle Lin Yige!
Then he thought about how the Guiyi Sect was in decline while he was in charge of the sect; after his junior uncle returned to Heming Mountain, the Guiyi Sect was prospering, and the sourness in Liu Fufeng's heart disappeared instantly.
Isn't it natural that Master prefers Junior Uncle to his incompetent apprentice?
"Then this disciple will go find Elder Zhao Yuan first."
Lin Yige waved to Liu Fufeng, "Go ahead. After telling him, you can go into seclusion and wait until your cultivation and sword intent are stable."

Earth Fire Ming Yi: Hexagram 36 of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes [Ming Yi Hexagram], the hexagram is dark and then becomes clear.
I think this hexagram is a bit relevant to Wen Caiwei’s life, so I named the sword directly.
