I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2028: Chapter 972: Sword Repair and Taking Disciples (Part 3)

Gradually, the spiritual nature within the Floating Cloud Sword began to awaken from its former dormancy, like a gemstone previously covered in dust, gradually revealing its brilliance.

During this process, the surface cracks on the Floating Cloud Sword disappeared, but those inside remained, due to another powerful Sword Intent occupying them, showing no signs of movement.

This was the Sword Intent of the Tai He Dao Fruit. Although filtered through Ye Qing’s body to only a Rank-5 level, it still couldn’t be borne by the Floating Cloud Sword.

Chen Mobai understood that this was why other Artifact Refiners in the East Continent couldn’t repair this sword.

However, he had the means to suppress it.

The Longevity Sword Intent of Heaven Cutting Line was summoned, ready to extract this Sword Intent.

During this process, Chen Mobai was extremely cautious, ensuring safety even if it meant slowing down and extracting little by little.

After all, if this Tai He Sword Intent were to explode, his Longevity Sword Intent might only be damaged, but the Floating Cloud Sword would be beyond saving.

He closed his eyes slightly, focusing his heart and mind. The Longevity Sword Intent of Heaven Cutting Line, like an invisible thread, slowly penetrated the sword body, contacting the powerful Tai He Sword Intent.

However, Chen Mobai discovered that his fully developed Rank-4 Longevity Sword Intent was gradually weakening during the extraction process.

This situation was very similar to when he extracted ”Dao Extinction” from the Mystic Finger Sword, indicating the strength of the Tai He Sword Intent.

Thanks to the Great Dao Tree, Chen Mobai didn’t worry about the damage to his Longevity Sword Intent, so he didn’t mind and continued to attempt contact.

After a lengthy period of probing, he finally successfully extracted the first strand of Tai He Sword Intent.

Compared to Ye Qing’s Floating Cloud Sword Intent, the Tai He Sword Intent possessed an additional sense of freedom and fearlessness, as well as an ascendancy to cut through all obstacles.

After understanding this reflection, the Thousand Swords Dharma Body appeared behind him, embedding the extracted energy into it, transforming it into a seed of Sword Intent.

Having succeeded once, Chen Mobai fully grasped this delicate process.

He executed each subsequent extraction perfectly — neither too much nor too little.

As time passed, the Tai He Sword Intent was gradually stripped away, and the internal damage to the Floating Cloud Sword began to show signs of healing.

During this process, the spirit of the Floating Cloud Sword seemed to sense this as well and began assisting Chen Mobai in extracting this Tai He Sword Intent.

After twenty days, Chen Mobai had extracted all of the Tai He Sword Intent into his Thousand Swords Dharma Body. He let out a soft breath, knowing the hardest part was over.

Next, he began to meticulously repair the damages to the Floating Cloud Sword using the medicinal essence from the Washing Sword Pool. Under his exquisite Artifact Refining Technique, the pool gradually nurtured the sword body, healing every crack.

When the final crack was perfectly restored, the Floating Cloud Sword emitted a crisp Sword Sound, signaling gratitude from the Sword Spirit.

Chen Mobai gently caressed the blade. There were no longer any gaps or nicks; it was smooth as new, and the Sword Intent had become more condensed.

Confirming that the main restoration work was complete, he nodded and placed the Floating Cloud Sword back into the Washing Sword Pool.

Ripples spread across the pool, and flows of Spiritual Liquid wrapped around the Flying Sword, beginning to nurture it.

This process was crucial, akin to the steps of recovery and rest after a major surgery on a human body.

If the recovery wasn’t thorough, all previous repair efforts would have been in vain.

As the essence of the medicinal herbs continuously merged into the sword body through the Washing Sword Pool, the light from the Floating Cloud Sword grew brighter. Chen Mobai turned around and prepared another list of medicinal herbs, handing it to Xue Ting, who had been watching from the side.

”Afterwards, I’ll leave this to you. Remember the order on this list — extract the substances from the herbs successively, and maintain the medicinal effectiveness of the pool...”

Chen Mobai had too many tasks to attend to, and overseeing the nurturing of the sword was not something he could personally handle.

Xue Ting was meticulous in her work and had previous experience caring for the Qing Shuang Sword, which put him at ease.

”Yes, Sect Leader!”

After exiting the retreat, Chen Mobai went to find Qing Nu.

This time at the Beidou Conference, she acquired many precious medicinal herbs through the Dao Morale Sect channels. While Chen Mobai was repairing the sword, she multitasked, simultaneously refining a batch of Pure Yang Condensation Pills and a batch of Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills.

The Golden Liquid Jade Return Pills were being refined for the Star Heaven Dao Sect. When leaving Stone City, Xing Ji had already sent people to deliver the herbs on Chen Mobai’s list to him.

In these two batches of elixirs, Qing Nu had closed her eyes to refine ten perfect-grade pills without Danless Poison, which were now being nurtured and would be ready to take once the timing was right.

”The Purple Spirit Pill may require several attempts to refine it to a Rank-4 level.”

When Chen Mobai arrived, Qing Nu was handling the herbs for another batch of elixir.

The Purple Spirit Pill was specifically used by the Immortal Gate to enhance Divine Sense. The primary material was the Essence Blood of the Dark Purple Scorpion that Chen Mobai had slain in the Ruins. However, the Immortal Gate could only reach Rank-2 maximally, so Qing Nu had modified the alchemy recipe, which still required practical attempts.

Fortunately, resources were plentiful in East Continent. After Qing Nu posted a task at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, many people quickly brought Rank-2 Dark Purple Scorpion Essence Blood.

The Five Elements Sect even heard about her task, and Yue Zutao specifically went to the East Land to purchase a Rank-3 Dark Purple Scorpion carcass through the Five Elements Commerce Association’s channels.
