Chapter 391
"Now that I have more than 3 million stones, I can exchange for another sword. However, the Fire Emperor Sword was given to me by the suzerain. It would be too heartless to discard it."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, his eyes lit up a little, and he said, "By the way, I can buy some materials to reforge the Fire Emperor Sword to improve its grade."

In his previous life, Xiao Ran was in Da Luo Immortal Realm. Although he was famous for his alchemy, he also dabbled in alchemy, weapon refining, and prohibition, but he was not as good as those real masters.

However, this is not as good as it is, relatively speaking, if it is placed in the human world, Xiao Ran thought to himself, not to mention the Dark Night Continent, even if it is a medium-level continent or a high-level continent, his understanding of combat techniques, weapon refining, and prohibition is also outstanding of.

It is even easier for him to upgrade the grade of the Fire Emperor Sword.

"It seems that I have to go to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion." Xiao Ran said slightly.

If he wanted to reforge the Fire Emperor Sword and upgrade the sword's grade, he needed various materials, and he had no refining materials, so he had to go to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

Then, after thinking about it, Xiao Ran decided to forge the Fire Emperor Sword into a top-grade spiritual weapon.

The Fire Emperor Sword is a fire-attributed spiritual weapon, and if it is reforged, it needs fire-attributed materials.

After deciding which materials to buy, Xiao Ran went to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

The Spirit Artifact Pavilion is the place where Spirit Famen sells spirit weapons and various refining materials, not to mention spirit-level materials, even Lingbao-level materials are quite a lot.

It didn't take much effort for Xiao Ran to gather the materials for re-forging the Fire Emperor Sword. One is the Fire Flame Spar, which is fiery red in color and is similar to red-hot coal. It is produced in magma, formed for thousands of years, and is extremely hard.

The second is star iron, which is the size of a fist and irregular in shape. This object is called iron, but it has nothing to do with iron. It fell from the stars, but it is similar to iron lumps, so it is called star iron. .

The last material is called Lieyang Stone, which is a natural disaster, a stone formed during a solar storm, which contains two attributes of fire and the sun, and its hardness exceeds that of Flame Crystal and Lieyang Stone.

After receiving these three materials, Xiao Ran felt pain in his heart, because he spent 2000 million yuan for this. Fortunately, he is rich and powerful now, so it's nothing.

After returning to the stone room, Xiao Ran sat cross-legged on the thousand-year-old cold jade bed, and then activated the purple pill fire to forge the three materials.

Chi Chi Chi!
Fire spar, star iron, and blazing sun stone began to melt and fuse together under the burning of the purple pill fire, but there were some impurities that needed to be refined.

For Xiao Ran, this is not a difficult task, because his purple pill fire is a top-notch fire, and it is easy to refine the liquid of the three materials, but it is time-consuming.

It took Xiao Ran seven full days to complete the refining process, and a pool of densely colored liquid emerged, flashing red, blue, and purple lights.

"Fire Emperor Sword!"

After refining the liquid, Xiao Ran's eyes flashed brightly, and without hesitation, he took out the Fire Emperor Sword, poured the liquid into it, and then sacrificed it with the purple pill fire.

This is the most important step, Xiao Ran didn't dare to be careless, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I still have the Flame Soul Crystal."

The Flame Soul Divine Crystal was a precious treasure that he discovered by chance when he participated in the Green Water City Auction. It is an immortal emperor-level material, and it is extremely rare even in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

At the beginning, the Flaming Soul Crystal was regarded as a luminous stone by many people, and no one cared about it. In the end, it fell into Xiao Ran's hands, and he even used it to connect broken limbs for people.

The regeneration of broken limbs is only one of the functions of the flame soul crystal. Besides, this thing has many functions, such as arranging formations and refining weapons.

"The Flame Soul Divine Crystal is an immortal emperor-level material. It is extremely hard. If it is used as a refining tool, it will be difficult to break even the power of the law. If I refine it into the Fire Emperor Sword, then all but the emperor-level divine weapons , there is no magical weapon in the world that can destroy this sword." Xiao Ran said excitedly.

"Hahaha, I can think of such a method, it's so clever." The more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help applauding and laughing loudly.

Just do what he said, he took out the flame soul crystal from the storage ring. There is nothing unusual about this thing, it is similar to luminous stone, but it is a genuine immortal emperor-level material.

"let's start!"

Thinking that he was about to refine a magic weapon that was not weaker than the emperor's weapon, Xiao Ran was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to refine the flame soul crystal.

Chi Chi Chi!
The flame soul crystal emitted black light under the purple pill fire, as if being splashed with boiling oil, it kept puffing, puffing, puffing, but there was no sign of melting at all.

Ten days later, the flaming soul crystal still hadn't melted, Xiao Ran gradually frowned, staring at the flaming soul crystal.

After a while, he slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with bitterness on his face: "How could I have forgotten that the flame soul crystal is an immortal emperor level material, how can it be melted with my cultivation base in the late phase of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

If you want to refine immortal emperor-level materials, unless you have the cultivation base of an immortal emperor, or have an extremely powerful heaven and earth strange fire, otherwise, you will not be able to melt them at all.

"It seems that we have to give up." Xiao Ran sighed secretly, his face was full of disappointment, he stared at the Flame Soul Crystal, and then at the Fire Emperor Sword, feeling a little unwilling.

After all, a magic weapon comparable to the emperor's weapon can increase his attack power a lot; secondly, no matter what kind of magic weapon the opponent uses, he can't be afraid.

In terms of weapons, he will have a huge advantage.

Unfortunately, he couldn't melt the flame soul crystal.

Staring at the Flame Soul Crystal, Xiao Ran was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead, and said in surprise and joy: "By the way, the Flame Soul Crystal doesn't have to be refined, I can use it as the base of the Fire Emperor Sword. Hilt, in this way, the Fire Emperor Sword still contains the power of the Flame Soul Divine Crystal, but the effect will be much lacking, but it will definitely not be inferior to those spirit treasures, or even the Tongtian Lingbao."

On top of the spirit weapon, there are Lingbao and Tongtian Lingbao. These two levels of weapons contain great power, which can help the master and attack the opponent by itself.

Xiao Ran stuffed the entire Flame Soul Crystal into the hilt of the sword. Maybe the sword would not be able to attack the opponent by itself, but there is no need to question its hardness.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Anyway, I don't need the Flame Soul Divine Crystal for the time being. Using it as the hilt of the Fire Emperor Sword can be regarded as an effective use."

After making up his mind, Xiao Ran inserted the entire Flame Soul Crystal into the hilt of the Fire Emperor Sword, and then wrapped it with the liquid of Fire Flame Crystal, Star Iron, and Lieyang Stone, so that outsiders would not be able to discover the flames. Soul crystal.

Half a month later, the original Xinchang Huohuang Sword became much wider, four fingers wide, and the sharp blade became blunt, making it look more like a simple knife.

In addition, the fiery red hilt turned black, with pits on the surface, like a stone stick, very unattractive, but Xiao Ran couldn't put it down when holding it in his hand.

Because he was holding the hilt of the sword, he could clearly feel the power of the flame soul crystal, and this power was transmitted to the blade of the Fire Emperor Sword, making the sword extremely hard.

However, Xiao Ran still doesn't know how strong this sword is.

"Try it with the Sky Gold War Halberd." Suddenly, Xiao Ran's heart twitched, his abdomen twitched, and the Sky Gold War Halberd flew out from the air pocket in his abdomen and landed in his hand.

"You won't cut off the Fire Emperor Sword directly?"

Xiao Ran held the Fire Emperor Sword in his left hand and the Sky Gold War Halberd in his right. He muttered twice, after all, the Sky Gold War Halberd was a high-grade spiritual weapon, and it would be easy to break a low-grade spiritual weapon.

However, in order to test the hardness of the Fire Emperor Sword, Xiao Ran had to take a risk. If the Fire Emperor Sword was really broken, he would sacrifice it again.

After thinking about it, he swung the Sky Gold War Halberd and struck at the Fire Emperor Sword.

Clang!

Under Xiao Ran's tense and expectant eyes, the Sky Gold War Halberd struck the Fire Emperor Sword, making a loud noise, and the flames shot straight up and shone golden, tearing the air apart.

"How is it?" Xiao Ran looked at the Fire Emperor Sword nervously, fearing that it would break suddenly, but he didn't expect that the Fire Emperor Sword didn't even have a gap.

The Sky Gold War Halberd did not break the Fire Emperor Sword!
"Okay, great."

Xiao Ran roared excitedly, the Sky Gold War Halberd is a high-grade spiritual weapon, and its sharpness is several times that of a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it did not break the Fire Emperor Sword, which means that the Fire Emperor Sword is so hard , at least reached the level of top-grade spiritual weapons.

Of course, the level of hardness of the Fire Emperor Sword needs to be verified by Xiao Ran in the future.

"Haha, the quality of the Fire Emperor Sword has been improved, and now the three major sword styles are used, the power may also increase a lot." Xiao Ran looked excited, and laughed.

clang--

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside, like a loud bell, it was deafening, and the air was trembling, making Xiao Ran's heart tremble.

"Huh, is it the sound of the Spirit Clock?" Xiao Ran asked in surprise.

The Spiritual Clock is a low-grade spiritual treasure of the Spiritual Sect, even more powerful than a top-grade spiritual weapon. If there is any important matter in the Spiritual Sect, the bell will be rung to notify the disciples.

"I don't know what happened?"

Xiao Ran whispered to himself, put away the Fire Emperor Sword and Sky Gold War Halberd, and walked out of the stone room. Seeing that there was still no little witch in the stone room, he walked out of the cave.

As soon as he went out, he heard a loud voice: "All the disciples of the Dharma Aspect Realm of this sect must gather at Zhenwu Peak." This voice was full of spiritual energy, like rolling spring thunder, spreading throughout the entire Spiritual Dharma Gate, causing the air to tremble .

"Looks like something big has happened."

Xiao Ran secretly thought that Zhenwu Peak is the place where the disciples of the Spiritual Method School practice martial arts and learn from each other. The Spiritual Method School summoned all the disciples of the Faxiang Realm to Zhenwu Peak, so there must be something extremely important to announce.

"I'm also a Faxiang Realm disciple, it seems like I'm going to Zhenwu Peak." Xiao Ran said softly.After saying this, he took a roll of vitality, soared into the sky, and flew out of Wanling Peak.

Swish swish!
Outside Wanling Peak, thousands of Faxiang Realm disciples headed to Zhenwu Peak one after another. Everyone carried a volume of vitality, which was as bright as a meteor shower when viewed from a distance.

Swish!
Seeing this, Xiao Ran didn't hesitate, and followed the crowd to Zhenwu Peak.

Zhenwu Peak is called a peak, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a mountain, because this peak is more than ten times larger than ordinary peaks, such as Heiyan Peak and Yunv Peak.

Seen from a distance, Zhenwu Peak is majestic and majestic, spanning thousands of feet. The peaks are surrounded by thousands of feet, and the cliffs are tens of thousands of feet. Martial arts images and formations are carved on the cliffs to prevent this peak from collapsing because of the disciples' competition.

In the center of Zhenwu Peak, there is a small basin with a radius of hundreds of miles. Stone benches have been repaired layer by layer in all directions. In the center is a battle platform with a radius of ten miles. pattern.

According to Xiao Ran's knowledge, the formation pattern carved on the battle platform is a top-grade formation at the imperial level, which was jointly carved by the nine elders of the Heavenly Human Realm from the Spiritual Method Sect.

In other words, even if the Heavenly Human Realm is powerful and fights on Zhenwu Peak, they will not be able to destroy the battle platform.

On weekdays, many disciples come here to discuss lessons, and today it is even more crowded. Xiao Ran roughly estimated that there are no less than ten thousand disciples.

Disciples at the late stage of the Faxiang Realm and at the peak of the Faxiang Realm can be seen everywhere, and some of them are not weaker than King Zhou of the Heavenly Demon Palace and Zhao Xiangzi who died in my hands.

Xiao Ran was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it's not surprising. After all, the Spiritual Method Gate is the second force in the Land of Sin. If it doesn't even have such background, then it's not worthy of the name.

----

"Xiao Ran."

Just as Xiao Ran was looking at Zhenwu Peak, Fang Luobing and Wang Yue walked over.

"Miss Fang, Brother Wang, congratulations on breaking through the middle stage of the Dharma Realm." Xiao Ran saw them approaching, and greeted them with a smile. Seeing Fang Luobing and Wang Yue breaking through the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect, he was happy for them.

"Xiao Ran, we haven't even congratulated you on breaking through the late stage of the Faxiang Realm."

Fang Luobing and Wang Yue smiled and looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Xiao Ran also gave Xuetian Ganoderma to each other, but they didn't say anything.

"I also just broke through not long ago." Xiao Ran said.

"By the way, do you know why the sect suddenly summoned us?" Wang Yue asked suspiciously.

"I heard from the master that the disciples from the Blood Clothes Sect are coming to compete with us," Fang Luobing said.

"Blood Clothes Sect?" Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked: "Miss Fang, this time the sect has only summoned disciples who are in the Faxiang Realm. Is it possible that this discussion is only for the disciples of the Faxiang Realm?"

"Not bad." Fang Luobing nodded.

"Hey, I just broke through the middle stage of the Faxiang Realm, and I'm looking for a match with my opponent." Wang Yue said with a smile, his eyes showing fighting spirit.

"Me too." Fang Luobing said calmly.

"I think this sparring is probably extraordinary." Xiao Ran said lightly.

"Xiao Ran, you are right. The disciples sent by the Blood Clothes Sect this time are all outstanding among their ranks."

At this moment, Zhao Wuyi came from the sky. He was dressed in white clothes that surpassed the snow, his body was like a green pine, and he wore a jade crown.

The most important thing is that his vitality is highly introverted, as if he has been sublimated. It makes people feel no fluctuations in vitality, but it gives people a feeling of spirituality.

Seeing Zhao Wuyi approaching, Xiao Ran focused his gaze, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhao, for breaking through the True Spirit Realm."

"True spirit realm?"

Fang Luobing and Wang Yue looked at Zhao Wuyi in surprise when they heard the words, they didn't expect him to break through to the True Spirit Realm.

You know, a watershed in true spirit realm martial arts training, transforming vitality into spiritual energy means entering another level.

Every martial artist in the Faxiang Realm wants to step into the True Spirit Realm, but only a small number of them succeed.

Take the Spiritual Method School as an example, there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Faxiang Realm, but at most only one tenth of the disciples can step into the Real Spirit Realm.

Zhao Wuyi was only in his early 20s, and he broke through to the Real Spirit Realm, which is enough to see that his talent in martial arts is surprisingly good.

Moreover, he also has another opportunity. Among the same rank, there are few enemies. Now that he breaks through the True Spirit Realm, his strength may be greatly improved.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Zhao Wuyi has just broken through to the True Spirit Realm, his strength is stronger than most early stage warriors of the True Spirit Mirror.

Fang Luobing and Wang Yue knew that he had broken through to the true spirit realm, and they were very envious.

"Junior Sister Fang, Junior Brother Wang, it is a remarkable thing for you to be able to break through the middle stage of the Faxiang Realm within a few months. Moreover, I found that your blood is particularly strong, comparable to some top martial artists in the late stage of the Faxiang Realm. It seems that you must have obtained some kind of opportunity." Zhao Wuyi said incessantly.

"Senior brother Zhao has won the award." Fang Luobing and Wang Yue smiled when they heard the words, but tacitly did not say anything about Xiao Ran's gift of Xuetian Ganoderma to them.

"This Zhao Wuyi has good eyesight, as expected of a genius in martial arts." Seeing that Zhao Wuyi saw at a glance that Fang Luobing and Wang Yue's body energy and blood were stronger than those of martial artists of the same level, Xiao Ran couldn't help admiring him.

"Xiao Ran, you have broken through to the late stage of the Faxiang Realm so quickly. This level of cultivation speed is unmatched." Zhao Wuyi suddenly looked at Xiao Ran and said tut-tsk.

"Brother Zhao has won the prize. I went out to practice and obtained some natural talents and treasures. That's why I was able to cultivate so fast. Compared with you, Brother Zhao, it's far behind." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

"Xiao Ran, you are too modest." Zhao Wuyi smiled.

He broke through to the True Spirit Realm, his strength greatly increased, his mental power and soul power increased a lot, and he could clearly feel that Xiao Ran's body was surging with energy and blood, and he was no weaker than him at all.

This made Zhao Wuyi feel envious and jealous at the same time. He didn't know what kind of treasure Xiao Ran had obtained, but Xiao Ran didn't take the initiative to say so, so he was embarrassed to ask.

"By the way, Brother Zhao, you just said that the disciples from the Blood Clothes Sect this time are all the best of the same level. Do you know which disciples from the Blood Clothes Sect will send here?" Xiao Ran Feel free to ask.Fang Luobing and Wang Yue both looked at Zhao Wuyi.

"I just learned from the master that this time, the blood-clothed sect is led by the elder Bai Yan, each with a disciple of the early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak of the Faxiang Realm, named Yan Chun, Song Qingshan, Han Feng, and Li Changtian. Everyone has the title of invincible at the same level." Zhao Wuyi nodded and said in detail.

"Invincible at the same level? Huh, I just broke through the middle stage of the Faxiang Realm, so I don't believe that Song Qingshan is stronger than me." Wang Yue snorted coldly when he heard this, clenched his fists and said with burning eyes.

"Wang Yue, you have the body of a celestial bull, so your strength is naturally stronger than that of warriors of the same level, but Song Qingshan is a physique cultivator, and his body is comparable to a top-grade magic weapon. He once defeated twelve warriors of the same level in a row, and killed three Dharma figures. Late-stage martial artist, if you want to compete with him, don't be careless." Zhao Wuyi said.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I won't underestimate any opponent." Wang Yue's expression changed when he heard this, and he nodded solemnly.

"It's really a formidable opponent." Fang Luobing's expression became more solemn. Her master asked her to come here, and she also meant to let her have a competition. Now that she knows that Yan Chun is so powerful, she dare not underestimate him.

"Brother Zhao, what is Han Feng's strength?" Xiao Ran asked calmly.

"That Han Feng once defeated ten warriors in the late stage of the Faxiang Realm in a row, and killed five warriors at the peak of the Faxiang Realm, but I think you are more terrifying than him. After all, he once killed Huo Ying with his cultivation in the early stages of the Faxiang Realm. .” Zhao Wuyi said.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Ran, then Han Feng must not be your opponent." Wang Yue laughed.Fang Luobing also smiled slightly, feeling that almost no one in the same rank was Xiao Ran's opponent.

"What about Li Changtian?" Xiao Ran asked again.

Fang Luobing and Wang Yue also looked at Zhao Wuyi, then Li Changtian is a martial artist at the peak of the Faxiang Realm, and his strength may be even stronger.

"You don't have to worry, Li Changtian is a peak martial artist in the Faxiang Realm. The elders will not let you fight him, but I can tell you that Li Changtian's strength is extremely terrifying. He has fought more than two hundred rounds with early-stage warriors in the True Spirit Realm. Some people say that he can break through to the True Spirit Realm anytime and anywhere." Zhao Wuyi's expression gradually became serious when he finished speaking, obviously, even he was afraid of Li Changtian.

"Brother Xiao Ran, can you defeat that Li Changtian?" Wang Yue asked.

Both Fang Luobing and Zhao Wuyi looked at Xiao Ran, thinking to themselves, Xiao Ran has now broken through to the late stage of the Faxiang Realm, and his strength is much stronger than when he was in the early stage of the Faxiang Realm. Maybe he can really fight Li Changtian.

"Half." Xiao Ran said lightly.

"Half?" Fang Luobing and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words. It seemed that Xiao Ran's strength was not as terrifying as imagined, but even so, they were still surprised.

But they didn't know that Xiao Ran didn't tell the truth at all. With his ability to kill early stage warriors in the True Spirit Realm, how could he put Li Changtian in his eyes?
Now that Xiao Ran had broken through to the late stage of the Faxiang Realm, he thought to himself, as long as Li Changtian hadn't broken through to the True Spirit Realm, then it would not be difficult for him to defeat him.

"Zhao Wuyi, have you broken through to the real spirit realm?"

Suddenly, a muffled voice came, with envy in the voice, Xiao Ran and the others followed the sound, and saw Sun Changgong and Helian Yuqing walking over.

Sun Changgong stared wide-eyed, looked at Zhao Wuyi, and snorted, "I thought I could break through to the Real Spirit Realm before you, but now it seems impossible."

"Hehe, Brother Sun, you have already reached half a step of the true spirit realm, isn't it just around the corner to break through the true spirit realm?" Zhao Wuyi smiled.

"Brother Zhao, what is a half-step true spirit realm?" Fang Luobing asked suspiciously.

Wang Yue also looked at Zhao Wuyi suspiciously, Zhao Wuyi smiled slightly, and explained: "The so-called half-step True Spirit Realm means that you failed to hit the True Spirit Realm, but you didn't fail completely. A state between the peak and the early stage of the True Spirit Realm, Brother Sun is in this state now."

"I see." Fang Luobing and Wang Yue suddenly realized.

"Huh, in another month, I will be able to truly step into the Realm of the Realm." Sun Changgong stared at Zhao Wuyi with wide eyes, and said, "At that time, I will fight with you to see who is more powerful."

"I'm so happy." Zhao Wuyi chuckled lightly.

"Hey, Junior Sister Fang, Junior Brother Wang, have you all broken through the middle stage of the Faxiang Realm?" Sun Changgong glared at Zhao Wuyi, then looked at Fang Luobing and Wang Yue, but was shocked: "How did you cultivate so fast?"

"Senior Brother Sun, brothers Xiao Ran have already cultivated to the late stages of the Faxiang Realm." Wang Yue said with a wry smile.

"Yes." Fang Luobing nodded.

"Brother Xiao, have you cultivated to the late stage of Faxiang Realm?"

Sun Changgong was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes widened, he looked at Xiao Ran, took a breath, and said, "Monster, Brother Xiao, you are a monster, you have not been a beginner for half a year, and you have cultivated from the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Dharma Aspect!" In the late stage of the realm, I have never heard of this kind of cultivation speed."

"Yeah, I think his cultivation base was lower than mine back then, but now he has already walked in front of me, he is really a monster." Helian Yuqing was also very surprised, and she stared at Xiao Ran with beautiful eyes, feeling unavoidable in her heart A little apprehensive, after all, she hasn't broken through the middle stage of the Faxiang Realm yet.

"I just happened to break through to the late stage of the Faxiang Realm, you two don't need to be surprised." Xiao Ran said with a normal expression.

"Coincidentally?" Sun Changgong and Helian Yuqing looked at each other when they heard the words, they both shook their heads and smiled wryly. How can there be a coincidence in martial arts cultivation?
"Haha, I finally found you."

At this moment, a voice as cheerful as an oriole came, and I saw a tall, pretty-looking woman in Tsing Yi with black hair draped over her shoulders and a peerless temperament came over, who was it not Cheng Ying?
Her footsteps are brisk, and her delicate body is shining with crystal blue light, like a flawless green lotus, giving people the feeling that she can only be seen from a distance and cannot be played with.

However, Xiao Ran and the others all knew her character, and looked at her and shook their heads secretly: "Why is a woman with such a face so greedy for money? What a pity."

"Hey, Luo Bing, Wang Yue, have your cultivation levels improved?"

Cheng Ying glanced at Fang Luobing and Wang Yue, then looked at Xiao Ran, her orb-like eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Oh my God, Xiao Ran, have you broken through to the late stage of the Faxiang Realm so quickly?"

"Miss Cheng, I think you are about to break through the peak of the Faxiang Realm." Xiao Ran smiled.

"Hmph, of course, I'm the proud daughter of heaven." Cheng Ying showed a smug look on her face, but then her voice changed, she glared at Xiao Ran, and said with a snort, "But compared to you little monster, I'm still It's worse."
