"Good."

Jian Ruyan nodded in agreement, then walked over and obediently sat beside Mu Jinyu.

"Hoo..."

As soon as she sat down, she immediately felt a bone-chilling cold attack her.

Even with Jian Ruyan's special physique, Ice Phoenix Bloodline, and having cultivated the "White Emperor Water Emperor Technique," she couldn't withstand it for a moment.

"Crack, crack..."

In just a second, a thin layer of ice formed on Jian Ruyan's hair and skin.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu said, "Try to resist as long as possible; it will be beneficial for the blood refining of the Spiritual Treasure later."

"Okay..."

Jian Ruyan responded softly, with a shiver in her voice, her teeth chattering.

"Clang, clang, clang!!"

Mu Jinyu was also worried that Jian Ruyan might have issues from the cold, so the speed of hammering the metal to forge the sword increased significantly.

With each powerful blow, sparks flew, and waves of intense cold spread throughout the room.

Jian Ruyan, sitting next to Mu Jinyu, shivered, and the layer of ice on her body thickened.

However, Mu Jinyu was somewhat surprised.

He thought Jian Ruyan wouldn't last until the end, perhaps enduring for seven or eight minutes, at most ten, before the cold became unbearable, forcing her to retreat or get frozen unconscious.

But unexpectedly, half an hour later, as he finished forging the sword, Jian Ruyan was still persisting without passing out.

Her will was still firm and clear!

"Good!" After Mu Jinyu delivered the final blow, he couldn't help but praise her, then raised his hand to shatter the ice on her body, reminding her:

"Quick, squeeze out ten drops of essence blood and three drops of heart blood for blood refinement recognition!"

Jian Ruyan's hair still held some ice shards, her beautiful face covered with frost and exhaustion, but her eyes were bright.

Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, she immediately spat out ten drops of essence blood, which fell into the sword embryo, then vigorously struck her chest and spat out three more drops of heart blood!

These also dripped into the sword embryo!

"Sizzle!"

"Boom!!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As Jian Ruyan's essence and heart blood entered the sword embryo, they were absorbed, and a brilliant blue light shone, bathing the entire house in ice-blue hues.

It was as if they had entered a world of ice and snow.

Then, the sword embryo trembled slightly, as if resisting and struggling, yet also excited and thrilled.

"Buzz!!"

Ultimately, the sword embryo calmed down, gracefully taking flight and revolving around Jian Ruyan.

Like a puppy currying favor with its owner.

As this sword embryo was refined, it transitioned from a semi-finished product, not yet sharpened, to fully formed, with edge gleaming!

"Bang!!"

"Boom!!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

In an instant, pots, paintings, and various furnishings in the room shattered!

The arrangements became a complete mess!

Mu Jinyu ignored all this, feeling thrilled at the sword's power!

Because the sword had just been forged, and Jian Ruyan hadn't even completely refined it, yet it could unleash such power, indicating his artifact refining was indeed successful!

If he were to categorize Heavenly Spirit Treasures with precise grades, his Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and Dragon Spear might exceed Heavenly Spirit Treasures, but let's say they are Top-Quality Heavenly Spirit Treasures.

And the Eight Desolations Cauldron, Purple Lightning Divine Hammer, Great Emperor Sword, and other Heavenly Spirit Treasures he seized before were mostly Medium or Superior Grade, without any Top-Quality ones.

This sword he just forged is directly a Top-Quality Heavenly Spirit Treasure!

"Little Yanzi, now release Spiritual Thought and perform the Soul Refining Method on this sword. As for the Elemental Refining Method, that can wait for later nurturing..." Mu Jinyu advised again.

"Okay." Jian Ruyan summoned her strength, determined to continue, releasing Spiritual Thought to entwine the Flying Sword rotating around her, beginning the Soul Refining Method!

Time passed slowly.

Soon, half an hour elapsed.

At this point, Jian Ruyan had completely finished performing the Soul Refining Method on this Flying Sword.

Instantly, the Flying Sword started to emit a gentle luster, no longer appearing so aggressively sharp.

And Jian Ruyan's speed and ability to control the Flying Sword became as easy as using her own hand!

"Clang!"

Under Jian Ruyan's control, the Flying Sword no longer revolved around her but hung suspended before her and Mu Jinyu.

"Yes, it's truly a fine sword."

Mu Jinyu examined the Flying Sword suspended in front of them, sincerely praising it.

This Flying Sword looked very different from when it was newly forged; initially rough and unsightly, now it appeared smooth and translucent, as if carved from ice crystal.

It wasn't crafted by human hands, but a natural formation, exuding a remarkable and extraordinary brilliance from the artistry of nature itself.

"You can rest for a while, and then cultivate the 'Armament Martial Scripture,' or you can go all out and start cultivating now. I'll protect you!"

Withdrawing his gaze from the Flying Sword, Mu Jinyu looked at the somewhat weary Jian Ruyan and spoke.

The continuous depletion of essence and heart blood, along with the mental effort for Soul Refinement on the Flying Sword, was quite exhausting for Jian Ruyan.

Jian Ruyan shook her head, her voice firm, "I'll press on and finish right now."

With that, she closed her eyes, recalling the cultivation method of the "Sword Scroll," and began to operate it.

"Clang!"

The Flying Sword emitted a crisp ringing sound and leapt into the air, piercing right down from above Jian Ruyan's head!

"Slash!"

No scene of blood as if a head was smashed emerged; the Flying Sword directly penetrated Jian Ruyan's body, entering within her and connecting her Sea of Consciousness and Qi Sea Dantian!

"Hah!"

A trace of pain appeared on Jian Ruyan's delicate face, followed by a soft cry as she sat cross-legged, starting to circulate the operation route of the "Sword Scroll," aiming to refine the Flying Sword that was now linked by her bloodline!

Mu Jinyu could no longer assist Jian Ruyan at this moment, watching her painful expression, merely cheering her on quietly, hoping she could persevere and successfully master the "Sword Scroll."

Time slowly passed.

Jian Ruyan's cultivation of the "Sword Scroll" seemed to be more arduous than Mei Yinxue's.

And due to her unique Flying Sword, during the refining process, her whole body began to coat in layers of thin ice, eventually becoming a large block of solid ice that encased her entirely.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

However, ultimately, she succeeded in her cultivation.

Suddenly, the thick layer of solid ice began to emit crisp cracking sounds and then shattered dramatically.

"Swish!"

Jian Ruyan, who had kept her eyes close, abruptly opened them wide, with ice-blue light swirling in her gaze.

And merely exchanging a glance with her, Mu Jinyu felt a soul-chilling cold.

"Chirp!!"

Right then, a phoenix cry sounded, and an icy blue curse mark appeared at Jian Ruyan's forehead, eventually forming an Ice Phoenix pattern spread across her face.

This looked somewhat strange.

But under Jian Ruyan's absolutely beautiful and cold delicate face, it added a touch of mystical allure.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu knew Jian Ruyan's Ice Phoenix Bloodline had grown significantly stronger.

Previously, when she performed the "Ice Phoenix Sky Technique," the Ice Phoenix pattern was only evident at her brow, but now it enveloped her entire face.

Evidently, her bloodline concentration had increased.

Presumably, it resulted from the Ice Phoenix encapsulated within the Flying Sword.
