The Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 62 – First Spirit Weapon

To refine a Spirit weapon, the first step is to insert your inner yuan into the body of the weapon, to comprehend the rune formations within it.

For Ye Qingyu, this process had little risk.

After all, Ye Qingyu had never been to any class in her second year and had not attended any lessons on runes and formations. He was only a layman, but by immersing himself in the library every day and also going to the library of his higher years, he understood the basics and theories behind this formation. He had some partial knowledge so he decided to give it a try.

[Little Shang Sword] trembled, the blue lines on the sword hilt becoming increasingly clear, slowly spreading towards the sword area.

“The area where the line has been activated and grown indicates that the runes and formations in that area have been successfully immersed by the deep yuan, and the formations within it can be activated ..”

Ye Qingyu made his decision.

His mind was clear and empty. Within his dantian world, his Spirit spring rose dramatically and soared high in the sky. It turned into a huge mist that entered the four limbs and hundreds of bones of Ye Qingyu, finally entering the [Little Shang Sword] continuously.

From the doubts and indecision he had at the beginning, at this moment, Ye Qingyu finally began to understand how to refine this Spirit weapon. The rather incomplete theories he had read in the books on runes and formations, through this process, gradually became clear and different.

The process of infusing his inner yuan into the [Little Shang Sword] became increasingly refined.

If there was someone beside him observing, they would find that strand of blue light that appeared on the [Little Shang Sword] as if it was a crazily growing vines, head up and completely surround the [Little Shang Sword].

At this moment Ye Qingyu could feel that this [Little Shang Sword] was like a life form that had fallen asleep for some time in endless darkness, and was awakened bit by bit.

This blue strand of light continued to grow throughout the sword, as if it were veins and arteries, beginning to function.

“This feeling, is really too mysterious, like ... it's like [Little Shang Sword] fused with my blood, merging into one entity.”

Ye Qingyu could not help but mutter to herself.

Two hours have passed. The entire body of the [Little Shang Sword], was finally entirely enveloped by strands of blue light. This was a sign that the rune formation within the sword had been fully activated.

When this sword was fully infused with Ye Qingyu's inner yuan, then it would be refined by him.

Ye Qingyu could feel the power of this Spirit weapon.

The kind of information that was difficult to explain using any language appeared in Ye Qingyu's mind. The strength of this sword and the limits of yuan qi it could withstand became clear.

Ye Qingyu raised his sword.

[Little Shang Sword] that was hovering above his head was firmly in his grasp.

The Spirit Weapon in his hand, compared to when he did not refine it, had a completely different sensation. Before fixing it, it was very heavy at least a few thousand pounds and ice-cold, with a rough texture. And now as if it was part of his arm, he could not feel its weight at all, and it felt warm as if it was touching a lover's skin…

Ye Qingyu swung his sword.

Without activating his inner yuan, the airwaves were cut by him.

The inner yuan moved agilely within the sword blade, and with a slight activation, the three feet cold sword blade would emit an ice and dense aura, causing people to feel fear.

Through the will of Ye Qingyu's heart, accompanied by a flash of blue light, the [Little Shang Sword] disappeared in her hands.

He uses inner vision.

Within the Dantian realm, at the location of the surging Spirit spring, it had already turned into a small lake. The Spirit Spring was in the middle of the lake and within the spring water, the [Little Shang Sword] had sunk completely, completely submerged.

After refining the Spirit weapon, it could unite with its holder, enter the user's body and sink into their Spirit spring, nourishing within it. If properly maintained, the level of a Spirit weapon might be able to be raised.

[Little Shang Sword] could be counted as a low-grade Spirit weapon. If Ye Qingyu could find some suitable rare ores and materials, refine and upgrade them through special techniques, then there was a possibility of it becoming a middle grade Spirit weapon.

The higher the classification of Spirit weapons, the more inner yuan one could instill inside and hence have greater power.

“[Little Shang Sword], is the first Spirit weapon I have in my life.”

Ye Qingyu sighed with regret.

This was the last thing his father left behind.

He continued to practice summoning Spirit weapons. With a will, [Little Shang Sword] appeared in his hand, suddenly disappearing and reappearing, hovering beside his head. It flew and surged according to Ye Qingyu's wishes.

Very quickly Ye Qingyu came to the conclusion that with her current inner yuan, she could only control the [Little Shang Sword] to attack and defend within ten meters of him. After ten meters, his strength would be greatly reduced and it would not be enough to injure a martial artist of the Spirit Spring stage.

This result was enough to satisfy him.

After all, he was still not fully fused with the [Little Shang Sword], and his inner yuan had yet to fully sink into the blade of the [Little Shang Sword].

“It has been three months since the first successful excavation of the Spirit spring. The overflowing Spirit spring had turned into a small lake. According to the scroll, I have reached the basic mastery stage and can try to dig out the second Spirit spring within my dantian!

Generally speaking, after martial artists dug the first Spirit spring in their dantian world, if the water overflowed and became a small lake, then they could try to dig out a second Spirit spring. According to the yuan qi martial way theory, after digging more than ten Spirit springs, you can try breaking through to the Bitter Sea stage.

Ten Spirit springs were the lowest requirement for martial artists of the Spirit spring stage to enter the Bitter Sea stage.

Of course, some genius martial artists would not be satisfied with just ten Spirit springs. Instead, they will prepare slowly and diligently for future success, not becoming impatient to improve their overall level. They would dig up to twenty, thirty, or even more Spirit springs, reach their limit then try to break through to the Bitter Sea stage.

Doing it this way, after entering the Bitter sea stage, their strength would increase explosively and a normal Bitter sea expert would not be their opponent.

From some perspective, the number of Spirit springs within the Bitter Sea, represented the potential of a martial artist.

Of course, the number of Spirit springs is not something you can increase as you please. Everyone's body has a set upper limit. If your natural grace is inadequate, then forced excavation past this upper boundary will produce devastating results. The least serious consequence would be to enter into the demonic flame state, and the most serious consequence would be that their fleshly bodies would turn and collapse into dust, disappearing within the world.

Ye Qingyu had read some anecdotes in the library about this.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a peerless genius of the human race who had managed to dig over ninety-nine Spirit springs, he said, it remained at the Spirit spring stage for over a hundred years. Once he broke through and entered the Bitter Sea stage, in an instant, he was invincible when facing an opponent on the same stage.

After which, this peerless genius rose up and rose in the face of adversity, becoming the pillar that sustained the entire human race. Opposing thousands and thousands of alien races, protecting the domain for the entire human race, he left behind countless legends.

There were also people with legendary powers within the human race, such as existences like the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and the Eight Supreme Existences, among others, who had also long and diligently prepared themselves in the spring stage of the Spirit. After many fortuitous encounters, they had all dug out over ninety Spirit springs, and had ultimately become master experts.

So it can be said that the cultivation and choices that occur in the Spirit spring stage, are, it was enough to influence the future success of a martial artist and determine what heights they could achieve in the future.

Ye Qingyu was now at the Spirit Spring stage, so he had to be very careful with what he decided.

……

Day three.

Ye's house after a major transformation, finally settled down from their chaotic and disorganized state. Qin Lan and Tang San performed exceptionally in this regard; one governed internal affairs and the other governed outside affairs. Through the efforts of the two, it allowed the Ye family to function successfully.

Li Jinji[**1], [Miaoyu Temple], [Yin Taoxuan Pavilion], and other properties have been fully transferred and returned. Tang San was so busy that he became dizzy and dizzy, but fortunately no mistakes happened.

After finishing breakfast, Tang San and Qin Lan each prepared dozens of scrolls for Ye Qingyu's examination.

“Accounts from this mansion for so many years are all here for the young master's examination.”

“Five properties outside have largely been clearly investigated. This was his account all along, and also the resources and financial functions were also in it! ”

Both stood to the side.

One glance alone was enough to make Ye Qingyu feel nauseous.

Regarding these things, he did not have the slightest interest.

“Eh.. Things like this, you'd better handle yourself. No need to ask me.” Ye Qingyu set up the account on one side and shook her head with a bitter smile. “In addition, even if I personally check it, I will not understand anything!”

Tang San was surprised, then laughed sadly.

Qin Lan hesitated a little. “But..”.

Ye Qingyu waved her hand and said, “Everything is fine. My break is coming to an end, matters regarding family need to be relied upon by you. ” Saying this, from the interdimensional pouch, he took out a jade scroll. “This is a jade scroll from the White Deer Academy used to convey a message. If you find an incident that you cannot resolve, bring this jade scroll to the academy. There will be someone who will deliver your message.”

The jade scroll was given to Qin Lan.

Pausing for a moment, Ye Qingyu spoke again, “Little Grass will grow up. If he had any intention of entering the White Deer Academy, in the upcoming exams next year, he could go and give it a try.. “His gaze landed on Tang San. “Your age has crossed the line and you cannot enter the White Deer Academy. If you really want to pursue martial arts and if you have the time, go to the [Taoxuan Pavilion] and learn from some teachers there to practice. Having some martial arts is beneficial no matter what happens. ”

Tang San nodded his head enthusiastically.

…… ……

By noon, Ye Qingyu had already returned to the White Deer Academy.

Returning to the dormitory to pack his things, someone came to tell him about the location of his new dorm and his room number. And they also convey various things that he needs to do to report.

As the head of the administration said, everything was already settled.

Jumping into second year class, Ye Qingyu had to leave first year students and no longer lived in the same area. He had to say goodbye but after some consideration, he had no friends in the first year other than the little loli, Song Xiaojun.

Ye Qingyu wanted to find him and say goodbye.

But when this idea came up, he hesitated.

Because he suddenly realized that in this long period of time, it was the little loli who always took the initiative to find him. He never went looking for her so until now he still did not know the room number of that little loli or which dormitory he was in…
