JSCMU-Chapter 147: Peerless Sword

Gun Gun believed it. It hurriedly asked Yun Jin what the chant was this time.

Yun Jin said very seriously, “This time, the chant must be sung. But remember, only sing it in your heart. You must never sing it aloud in front of others. Especially Eldest Senior Brother, do not let him hear it.”

Although only Yun Jin, the master, could understand what Gun Gun said, just in case! After all, when singing, there’s an inherent rhythm to it.

Gun Gun nodded repeatedly.

The chants Master taught were always effective, but they were weird too. It wasn’t going to say them out loud.

Just then.

Yun Jin took a deep breath and began to sing, “Mount Wumeng links to mountains beyond, Moonlight shines down on Xiangshui Beach, Can anyone tell me, Is it the heavens calling out to you?”

Gun Gun: “???”

Gu Jinghong: “???”

Yun Jin continued seriously, “Did you memorize it all?”

Gun Gun instinctively wanted to say that it hadn’t memorized it.

But in its mind, the melody already automatically started playing.

Gun Gun opened its mouth to try it.

And realized, it somehow already learnt it???

“Very good,” Yun Jin said with satisfaction. “From now on, just silently chant it in your heart. Alright, go take care of your task.”

Gun Gun was now impatient to go get beaten up. It tugged on Gu Jinghong and urged him to take it to find people.

All ten people!

And they had to be different people. Just the few on Heavenly Sword Peak wouldn’t be enough.

It simply couldn’t meet its beat-up quota!

So it had to expand externally.

Gu Jinghong was being dragged by Gun Gun. He turned to look at Yun Jin, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

When Master came back this time, she didn’t even say a word to him.

But thinking about it.

That Ye Cheng didn’t even get to see a shadow of Master!

Gu Jinghong immediately felt balanced in his heart.

“Go on, take a good beating,” Yun Jin encouraged, and Gu Jinghong had no choice but to take Gun Gun out to find someone to beat it up.

Yun Jin returned to her little hut and happily took a bath first. Otherwise, she kept feeling something was off.

Then, she contacted Yue Zhao using her message token.

The two ores required for upgrading the Tai’a Sword were already prepared by Yue Zhao.

He didn’t come in person, but entrusted a disciple from Artifact Forging Peak to bring them back for her.

Fortunately, the two ores weren’t rare. Plus, Yue Zhao had financial power, so he gathered them easily.

Worried about losses during the process, he even prepared a few extra portions of each material.

Yun Jin met briefly with Yue Zhao and took the storage pouch, then immediately prepared to go into seclusion again.

Yue Zhao instinctively scanned Yun Jin’s cultivation.

Then, his mouth slowly fell open.

He was about to ask something, but Yun Jin’s figure had already vanished swiftly from sight.

Yue Zhao sat there, stiff and motionless, beginning to question life.

Was his spiritual sense wrong?

Little Junior Sister… had broken through to Golden Core Stage?

That couldn’t be!

When she joined the sect, she was just a mortal.

Now, at most two full months passed, and she’s at Golden Core Stage?

Is that something a normal person could do?

Oh!

Little Junior Sister wasn’t normal to begin with. Then never mind.

Yue Zhao was about to go crazy.

Never mind my ass.

Do the disciples of the Four Great Holy Lands even have such a terrifying cultivation speed?

Perhaps not!

Just what kind of monster did his Master bring back to the sect?

Yue Zhao even began to worry.

By the time she comes out of seclusion again, could she be at the Nascent Soul Stage?

Then at the Grand Sect Tournament, she really might be able to kill that Ruan Jun!

Just as he thought of this.

Yue Zhao shook his head, forcing himself to calm down.

When did he become so bold in his imagination?

Three months, Nascent Soul?

That… maybe, possibly, probably… isn’t possible, right?

For the moment, Yue Zhao didn’t even dare to reach such a conclusion.

Artifact Forging Peak

Yun Jin once again entered seclusion.

She had ten days to upgrade the Tai’a Sword to two stars.

Then, during the final month, she would pour all her energy into the Heaven Mending Pill.

Speaking of the Heaven Mending Pill.

Yun Jin suddenly thought that the Earth-Fire Chamber was a really good place.

It was highly secretive, safe from prying eyes. The only downside was it consumed a lot of spirit stones. But now, Yun Jin was swimming in money. She wouldn’t so much as spare these bit of spirit stones a second look.

Not to mention Yue Zhao’s spirit stones, she still had plenty of gifts from Cang Li in her storage ring, enough to last her a long time!

Once she figured out the recipe for the Heaven Mending Pill, she’d come here to refine it!

Yun Jin happily made up her mind.

Then, she took out the ores Yue Zhao prepared.

The Tai’a Sword was already forged from excellent materials. This time was just an upgrade to two stars, so the required materials weren’t particularly rare.

If it weren’t for the system specifying this as the best solution, Yun Jin wouldn’t have guessed that these two materials would be used for the Tai’a Sword’s upgrade.

These two weren’t even included in the materials previously deduced by Cang Li.

The two ores, one was called Wood-Green Stone, the other Earth-Yellow Stone. Both had stable and balanced properties.

By contrast, Cang Li’s previous plan involved using more opposing attributes to stimulate the Tai’a Sword’s unique traits.

The perfect solution given by the system and the deduction from Cang Li were completely different.

But naturally, Yun Jin chose the system’s plan.

Besides her trust in the system, Yun Jin also vaguely felt that if one kept pushing to the extremes, the Tai’a Sword might become a strange sword, even an evil one and would never be a peerless treasure.

Who said yin-yang was the art of opposition?

On the contrary, yin-yang was the most harmonious and inclusive art.

Now, the goal was not to further stimulate extreme attributes.

But to let the two properties slowly integrate until they completely fused into one.

What the Tai’a Sword would become by then, Yun Jin couldn’t yet imagine.

But it would definitely be a majestic, peerless sword.

“System, scan the two ores,” Yun Jin gave the command.

The scan results came out quickly, but weren’t detailed enough.

Yun Jin spent some simplification attempts and used the detailed scan.

Immediately, a complete refining procedure came out.

“Wood-Green Stone, Grade-2 ore. Properties: stable and balanced. This ore is very soft…First, strike it forcefully to remove excess impurities…soak in spiritual liquid for tempering…melt completely using Earth-Fire…”

“Earth-Yellow Stone, Grade-2 ore. Initially yellow-brown in color, after thousands of hammerings, it will appear dark-gold. First burn with Earth-Fire to remove excess impurities…every 300 strikes, quench once in water, repeat until dark-gold color appears, then temper with Earth-Fire…when the surface is slightly molten, strike continuously with full force…”

Each ore came with a long, thousand-character refining process, a practically foolproof tutorial.

Yun Jin was very satisfied.

But this was just the first step.

Once this was done, the materials would be considered as processed.

The real centerpiece was the next step, the fusion and upgrade.

That part would likely require more simplification attempts too.

Yun Jin sat cross-legged, took a few deep breaths to ensure she was in peak condition, then stood up.

She began the first step, tempering the Wood-Green Stone.
