Chapter 247 - Dual-Attributed Sword
"Dual-attributed weapon?!" Qi Hongtian who was the most experienced among the onlookers exclaimed in utter astonishment when he saw the green flames emitted by the sword.
At first, they thought that the sword would be ice-attributed because of its ocean-like color and jade patterns, but they never would have thought that the completed sword actually contained a strong flame-attribute that did not look ordinary.
The green flames gushing out of the sword was not the kind of flame that radiates an overwhelming amount of heat. In fact, no one inside the Refining Hall could feel an increase in the temperature. This made them stare confusedly at Jiu Shen who was holding the sword with a calm look.
"Master, this flame. What is this?" Lu Sulan asked curiously as she stared at the sword in her master’s hands with a shining gaze.
Jiu Shen’s gaze was still fixated on the sword he forged as he replied. "When a weapon is forged from a Lunar Star Rock, it would have the ability to emit this kind of flame. This green flame is called the ’Lunar Star Flames’ and I know that you guys are bewildered as to why it is not producing any heat, so let me show you something."
Jiu Shen’s tone was mysterious when he spoke those words. He then took out a Saint Weapon from his space earring and showed it to everyone.
"This Shield is a Saint Weapon and it is one of the hardest shields to break because of its sturdiness and the complex forging method used to enhance its defensive ability. Sulan, try cutting this shield with your Saint Weapon." Jiu Shen said as he tossed the shield to Lu Sulan.
Lu Sulan was confused but she still caught the shield with her hands. When she held the shield, she could already feel its toughness and heavy weight. She then took out her sword from space ring which was also a Saint Weapon and did as she was told.
Clang!
A loud clanging sound echoed inside the Refining Hall after Lu Sulan slashed the shield with her Saint Weapon.
Everyone stared at the shield and saw that there was only a long white mark where Lu Sulan had slashed it.
"Master, this shield is indeed quite sturdy. I could not break it without using any of my sword techniques, but what do you want to show us by making me do this?" Lu Sulan asked as she retrieved her sword.
Qi Hongtian and the others also stared at their master, waiting for his answer.
Jiu Shen glanced at them and shook his head. "A sword cultivator must learn to be patient. Now, use this sword to cut the shield, but don’t use any true essence with your attack." He said while handing the newly-forged sword to Lu Sulan.
Lu Sulan carefully held the exquisite-looking sword that gleamed like a beautiful piece of art. She stared at it in awe and excitement as she thought. ’Is this really my sword?! It’s so beautiful!’
"Senior Sister, don’t keep us in suspense." Can Ye said while scratching the back of his head.
Lu Sulan rolled her eyes at Can Ye before raising the newly-forged sword above her head. She then slashed down the sword, producing a beautiful green arc in the air as she swung it down.
Pu!
Everyone did not hear the ’clanging sound’ that they were expecting, instead, they heard the sound of something being slashed in half by the sword.
To everyone’s surprise, the shield which was a Saint Weapon was now cut into two halves. The most surprising thing was that the shield was melting on the part which the sword had cut into!
"This!" Lu Sulan and the others gasped with dumbfounded expressions when they saw it.
Lu Sulan did not use any sword techniques and she just casually slashed down the sword with her raw strength, but it still cut a Saint Weapon in half as if it was slicing a piece of paper!
"The Lunar Star Flame never produces heat, but when it comes into contact with another object, it could melt it without a problem. This kind of ability is very useful during battles since your opponents would be unaware of its ability to melt things. Aside from the Lunar Star Flame, I also added an Array Formation in that sword, giving it an ice-attribute. You can activate its icy nature by using your true essence. Try it." Jiu Shen said in a calm tone as if placing an Array Formation on a weapon was something so easy to accomplish.
"Master, you mean, you are also an Array Formation Maker?!" Fengzi uttered with a slightly raised volume due to his shock.
Jiu Shen shrugged as he replied. "What about it?"
Fengzi opened his mouth, but no words came out, so he could only stare at his master with a wry smile.
Lu Sulan immediately used her true essence to activate the Array Formation engraved on her sword. After doing that, the sword’s ocean-like color became more prominent and the sword also started to emit cold and chilly air.
"Amazing! So the ice-attribute that we felt earlier was not the sword’s natural attribute but an Array Formation that master engraved on it. I could not believe that Array Formation Making and Weapon Refining could actually be done like this! Truly incredible!" Her voice was full of worship when she uttered those words.
Qi Hongtian and the others nodded their heads in agreement. They were also shocked by this revelation.
’These bumpkins... What if they learned that Alchemy, Weapon Refining, and Array Formation Making can be incorporated into Wine Making? Their reactions might be interesting to see if they happen to see how I do that.’ Jiu Shen thought in amusement.
"Master, what level of weapon is this? I could not tell just by looking at it." Lu Sulan asked while gently caressing the blade of the sword.
Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he replied in an indifferent tone. "Because of the Lunar Star Rock added as the main reforging ingredient and the advanced Array Formation that I engraved on this sword, this sword should be a True God Weapon."
"True God Weapon?" Lu Sulan and the others muttered with confusion. They had never heard of that term, so they just stared at Jiu Shen with blank looks.
