Chapter 143: Spirit Essence Treasures

Qin Yun and his companions killed those giant turtles and obtained many essence spirits, which were the primary materials for refining spirit essence treasures.

Xiao Yuemei said, "If you help me refine a sword as a spirit essence treasure, the remaining essence spirits will all be yours. How about it?"

She couldn't refine artifacts herself, so they would be useless to her. If she could exchange them for a sword, it would be a very good deal.

"Alright!" Qin Yun nodded. He also wanted to try refining such spirit essence treasures.

Seeing Qin Yun agree, Xiao Yuemei jumped and shouted happily, "I'm finally going to have a spirit artifact… and it's even a special spirit essence treasure! I'll have a spirit artifact! Brother, when can you finish refining it for me? Can you do it within two years?"

"Two years?" Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Well… how about three years? I just want to have a spirit artifact by the time I turn sixteen!" Xiao Yuemei said in a sweet voice.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Don't you already have a storage spirit artifact?"

Xiao Yuemei looked at the bracelet, stuck out her tongue, and giggled, "I mean an offensive spirit artifact! Can you refine one for me within three years?"

Qin Yun pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Three years? You underestimate me too much. I'll refine it for you in at most a month!"

The last time he refined the Giant Spirit King Hammer, it didn't take him more than a month!

Hearing this, Xiao Yueme was full of disbelief and muttered, "A month? How is that possible? Isn't refining a spirit artifact supposed to take a long time?"

"After I refine a hundred Ghost Suppressing Talismans, I'll start refining the spirit essence treasure for you. What kind do you want? A sword or a saber?" Qin Yun asked.

The Ghost Suppressing Talisman array used to kill ghost kings could still be used, so he didn't need to refine another array. He only needed the talismans to deal with ordinary small ghost beasts.

"I want a sword! Is refining a spirit artifact really that simple? My sister and many elders have said that a good spirit artifact requires a lot of time to shape and refine," Xiao Yuemei said, frowning slightly.

"What do you think of this hammer?" Qin Yun took out the Giant Spirit King Hammer and handed it to her.

Xiao Yueme took it, infused it with her inner strength, and felt an unprecedented smoothness. It was as if her inner strength flowed into the hammer without any obstruction, surging forward powerfully.

"It's very good!" Xiao Yueme could tell the quality of the spirit artifact and had heard about the reputation of Qin Yun's Giant Spirit King Hammer.

Qin Yun smiled and said, "I came up with this while I was locked in Tianxing Tower. When they say a good spirit artifact takes a long time to refine, they're either lying to you or don't understand refining. Don't believe their nonsense."

In fact, truly excellent spirit artifacts did require a long time to create. However, Qin Yun performed exceptionally well in all aspects of refining, so he could produce high-quality spirit artifacts in a very short time.

Xiao Yueme was very excited and started helping Qin Yun cut animal skins to speed up the process of making the Ghost Suppressing Talismans.

In just two days, Qin Yun had refined a hundred Ghost Suppressing Talismans and then began refining the spirit essence treasure for Xiao Yueme.

He first melted down an essence spirit and determined how many were needed to blend uniformly with the bone steel. With his extensive experience in handling materials, he quickly figured it out.

"Quite a few essence spirits are needed. To refine a sword, about twenty essence spirits will be required," Qin Yun murmured. He also decided to refine a saber for himself.

After some thought, he decided to refine both the sword and the saber together.

He threw the bone steel and essence spirits into the furnace, burning them to a certain degree before taking them out to hammer and blend them together, ensuring the low-grade bone steel and essence spirits melded perfectly.

"Using my left hand to hammer, the strength is indeed great!" Qin Yun tried using his left hand to hold the hammer, feeling pleasantly surprised.

He deliberately alternated between his left and right hands, clearly feeling that his left hand was more than twice as strong as his right.

Xiao Yueme continued cutting the processed animal skins on the side, so Qin Yun could focus on engraving the spirit patterns later.

In just over ten days, the forging stand held the rough forms of a saber and a sword.

Due to limited materials, the saber Qin Yun refined for himself wasn't very large.

"The rough forms are very good; the essence spirits have blended perfectly with the low-grade bone steel," Qin Yun probed the two rough forms with his mental energy, feeling the smoothness.

Xiao Yueme tried them out and was delighted, becoming even more eager.

Qin Yun spent another two days fine-tuning and refining, creating a sharp, gleaming longsword with rose patterns engraved on the hilt, as per Xiao Yuemei's preference.

Next, he began engraving the spirit patterns.

Qin Yun took out the engraving knife and started carving the patterns on the sword.

"Brother, what kind of spirit patterns are you engraving?" Xiao Yueme watched her first spirit artifact gradually take shape, growing more excited and curious.

Qin Yun explained, "Intent patterns and solidification patterns! Intent patterns enhance and store mental energy, while solidification patterns strengthen the blade. Since the sword is relatively slender, it needs solidification patterns to make it more resilient."

Currently, he could only engrave two types of spirit patterns. If he engraved three, it would become a mid-grade spirit artifact.

Engraving spirit patterns wasn't difficult for him, but it did take a considerable amount of time.

It took him two full days to engrave the intent and solidification patterns on both sides of the sword.

Next, he engraved the blood pact pattern on the hilt. Although this was the third type of spirit pattern, its unique nature meant it wouldn't elevate the spirit artifact to a mid-grade level.

"The final blood pact pattern requires a blood drop to recognize the owner before the spirit patterns can be used. Otherwise, it will just be an ordinary sword."

Qin Yun finally finished refining the sword and handed it to Xiao Yuemei, "Although it's a spirit essence treasure, you can channel your inner strength into it very smoothly."

Xiao Yueme's face was filled with excitement as she carefully examined her precious spirit sword with her watery eyes.

After receiving it, she said eagerly, "Let's call it the Moon Soul Sword!"

It seemed she had already thought of this name.

Qin Yun smiled and began engraving patterns on his own saber, which was just over half a meter long, making it relatively short.

Since he controlled it with his mental energy, it didn't need to be too large, and a smaller size made it easier to handle.

Xiao Yuemei stood at the cave entrance, controlling her Moon Soul Sword to fly out several hundred meters and slash through the trees on the opposite mountain, cutting them down like grass in one swift motion.

Then she summoned the sword back, gripped the hilt tightly, and let it soar, carrying her through the air.

"Wow, I can fly too!" Xiao Yuemei giggled, thoroughly enjoying herself.

She had only played for two days and was already able to ride her Moon Soul Sword with ease.

Qin Yun couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Yuemei's mental power, which was incredibly strong!

This was thanks to the Spirit Essence Treasures, which could enhance mental power, combined with advanced divine control techniques, allowing Xiao Yuemei to master sword flight much earlier. Otherwise, it would have required at least the Ninth Level of Martial Body.

Qin Yun had also finished refining his own blade. As he approached the cave, he saw Xiao Yuemei hastily flying over on her sword, her face filled with urgency.

From a distance, she shouted, "Brother, another group of ghost beasts is coming, and this time they can fly. They're heading straight for you."
