Although more than a year has passed, everything in this sword palace valley has not changed, the eighty-one giant swords are still standing, and the disciple of the Nine Peerless Old Man is also the same as before, with gray hair and chains, like a statue, but Feng Ruo did not see his newly accepted registered disciple Xu Ming appear here.

"The preparatory disciple of the Sword Heart Academy, Feng Ruo, has seen his predecessors!"

Twenty zhang away, Feng Ruo bowed lightly and said, he still had a little admiration for this old man who was willing to tie himself up here in order not to involve others, so although most of the disciples of the Upper Third Academy directly ignored this old man, he still had to come over to greet him.

For Feng Ruo's gift, the white-haired old man seemed to be deaf, but he still maintained his original appearance.

Smiling casually, Feng Ruo turned around and entered the underground sword after looking at the ninety-nine-eighty-one giant sword for a while, and now he is not qualified enough for the Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Battle, and he has no time to practice, so he can only wait for the future to take his time!

After passing through the long steps, Feng Ruo entered the fiery mountain belly again, but at this time, there were already at least three or four hundred disciples of the Upper Third Courtyard surrounding the fire spirit spring that the fire dragon was spitting, and there were people sitting within a radius of a hundred zhang, and there was really no place for it!

For this, Feng Ruo was not in a hurry, he found an open space around, sat on the ground, and waited patiently, because sword refining is extremely mana-consuming, and it is estimated that it will not take an hour for most of the disciples of the upper three academies to withdraw.

As for how to refine the sword, Feng Ruo has already understood it clearly, it can be said that this sword refining is extremely important in the sword technique, just like the relationship between the cultivation and the exercises, because if you want to use the sword technique to the strongest, to achieve the realm of the heart turning at will, such as the arm command, you must achieve the fit of the mind, so that the sword weapon and the cultivator's mind resonate, as if as one!

If you can do this, you will not only be able to unleash faster, more subtle, and sharper attacks in battle, but you will also be able to greatly reduce the consumption of your own mana!

Of course, it is very difficult to do this, in addition to being opposite to the sword weapon for a long time, you also need a unique sword refining formula, and then temper it with the help of pure fire spirits!

It can be said that this way of refining the sword is also to lay the foundation for entering the Jindan period in the future, because the flying sword at that time is faster and more powerful, and the price that needs to be controlled is more!

Time passed quickly, but it was only a few hours, and there were only dozens of people left in the mountainside of the original hundreds of people, and these disciples of the Upper Three Academies were all cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building without exception, because their mana was enough to support them for a long time!

It's just that at this time, the power of the fire dragon in the fire spirit spring has also decreased by nearly half, and even the stuffiness in the belly of the mountain has weakened a lot.

At this time, Feng Ruo stood up, walked to a position fifty zhang away from the Fire Spirit Spring, sat down cross-legged, and after adjusting the internal breath evenly, he pinched the sword trick and carefully controlled the Phantom Sword to sink into the Fire Spirit Spring!

And almost at the same time, a fiery and crazy power passed along the phantom sword, but this was because Feng Ruo's mind was attached to the sword body!

For this kind of power, Feng Ruo couldn't ignore it directly, he could only meditate and concentrate, while supporting it with all his might, while controlling the Phantom Sword to maintain balance in the flame-raging fire spirit spring!

At this time, it is also the most critical time, once he can't withstand the blazing burn, so he chooses to retreat, then, the result is to lose the Phantom Sword, and this kind of thing is a lot of things in the Upper Third Courtyard almost every year!

It can be said that this is the tempering of the mind, because in fact, the fire spirit spring will not cause harm to the cultivator himself, and there will not even be any loss of the mind, and the reason why he will feel the severe pain is entirely because the cultivator's mind is attached to the sword weapon at this time!

In other words, the tighter the attachment of the mind to the sword, the greater the pressure and pain will be!

This is the most basic principle of sword refining, that is, through this external training, the mind of the cultivator will gradually penetrate into the sword weapon, until it resonates with the sword weapon, and even becomes one, instead of just attaching to the surface!

And as long as this is done, then the so-called Edgeworth flight is just a little meaning!

Of course, there is another important point, that is, the higher the quality of the sword, the higher the difficulty of mind fusion, for example, Feng Ruo's phantom sword, because of the depiction of a more advanced phantom formation, it will become so difficult to control!

However, if Feng Ruo could really fuse his mind with this Phantom Sword, then it was certain that if it was just a simple competition for the speed of Edgeworth's flight, there would be only a handful of cultivators of the same level who could catch up with him, or even no one could catch up!

The reason for this is very simple, because cultivators who can have extremely high attainments in refining weapons may not be proficient in formations, and those who are proficient in formations may not be proficient in refining weapons, so when refining five-grade sword weapons, the formations usually depicted are basic formations, and few people can depict higher-order formations on them!

In addition, it is very difficult for even a refiner to cooperate with a cultivator who is proficient in formations, because it is not easy to depict a high-level formation on a sword weapon, and it also costs a lot of money to succeed with the ability to depict Feng Ruo's mind, but if you can have the ability to depict your mind, the tens of thousands of disciples of the entire Zhentian Sect are only three people!

So, all in all, Feng Ruo is very much looking forward to his future real Edgeworth flight!

However, if he wanted to truly give full play to the potential of the Phantom Sword, he would probably have to refine the sword in this Fire Spirit Spring for at least a hundred years!

From this, you can know how difficult it is to reach the realm of the sword weapon to communicate with one's own spirit!

Soon, after about a cup of hot tea had passed, Feng Ruo finally exhaled a long breath, and now the intense burning pain was finally relieved a lot, and even that huge pressure was relieved a lot.

At this time, although Feng Ruo couldn't see his Phantom Sword, he could accurately grasp every move of the Phantom Sword, as if suddenly he had a third hand!

After getting familiar with the current situation, Feng Ruo slowly pulled the Phantom Sword towards the center of the Fire Spirit Spring, because that was the place where the pressure was greatest!

Of course, he didn't have to worry about bumping into the swords of the other disciples of the Upper Three Courtyards in this Fire Spirit Spring, because those people's sword weapons were all dozens of zhang below the Fire Spirit Spring, and the pressure in that place was even more terrifying!

However, it is said that this fire spirit spring goes straight to the underground fire vein, as deep as tens of millions of zhang, and the power accumulated in it is almost unimaginable, if it weren't for the suppression of a nine-day flowing cloud peerless array on it, maybe this sky-catching peak that goes straight into the sky has already changed its other appearance, thinking about it, this is why this nine-day flowing cloud absolute array is almost suppressing all the fire spirit springs, and the high-level of Zhentian Sect does not dare to remove the real reason for this formation!

It was only for about half an hour that the mana in Feng Ruo's body was basically consumed, so he quickly withdrew the Phantom Sword from the Fire Spirit Spring!

At this time, the Phantom Sword had already turned blue and red due to being burned by the flames in the Fire Spirit Spring, which really made Feng Ruohao feel distressed for a while, this was the result of not strengthening the Five Elements Stone, although he had been using mana to protect him just now, but after all, he still couldn't compete with the pure flame!

Hurriedly activated the two lower-grade Five Element Stones, and then strengthened them to the Phantom Sword, at this time, the blue-red color gradually receded, and it returned to its original appearance!

"It's not okay to go on like this! You have to get a medium-grade Five Element Stone as soon as possible! Otherwise, every time you refine your sword, you will have to consume two low-grade Five Element Stones, but it's really a loss!"

Feng Ruo thought very painfully, the flames in this Fire Spirit Spring are extremely pure, and they have almost reached the temperature required for refining sword weapons, so the damage to sword weapons is extremely great, and it must have the effect of strengthening the Five Elements Stone to resist!

"If you still can't get the mid-grade Five Elements Stone, you can simply go to the Five Elements Realm to patrol!"

Feng Ruo said ruthlessly in his heart, there is no way, although this phantom sword is said to be a five-grade sword weapon, the quality is also very good, but if he does not strengthen the medium-grade Five Elements Stone, he will be controlled everywhere in the battle, so he can't help but fight hard!

"Your name is Feng Ruo?"

At this time, just as Feng Ruo was about to retreat to the side to meditate and recover his mana, a man who was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Oh, yes, senior brother is-" Feng Ruo glanced at the man very curiously, but the waist tag on this person's body was from the Heming Temple, he really couldn't understand, how could this person know him? It seems that he has never seen this person before!

"Hehe! In the next cold howling sky, the disciple of Heming Academy, I want to come to Feng Ruo's senior brother should recognize Ye Luo, that is my cousin, I heard him mention you!"

"Of course I know, but we haven't seen each other for two or three years, is he okay?" Hearing Ye Luo's name, the doubts in Feng Ruo's heart suddenly dissipated, and he asked with some joy.

"Ye Luo is still in the foundation building period, but I think it won't take half a year, he should build the foundation! We will probably be able to see him when we come back from this experience!"

"Oh, Senior Brother Leng, could it be that he also participated in this training?" Feng Ruo hurriedly asked.

"Of course, how would I know you! But Senior Brother Feng Ruo is not simple! In fact, the most important thing in this training is to go to the Nine Divine Palace to worship the mountain, so the selection of disciples who have experienced is extremely strict, and many formal disciples of the Third Academy are not qualified to go, but Senior Brother Feng Ruo can be selected, which shows that Senior Brother Feng Ruo's strength should be quite good!"

"Uh! Well, I was just selected in a daze, and I don't even know what it's all about?" Feng Ruo said a little vaguely, but his heart became more and more curious, it was Zhou Yu before, and now it is this Leng Xiaotian, what they said is almost the same, it seems that this experience is really important.

Thinking of this, Feng Ruo couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Leng, I still don't understand, isn't it just to learn from the disciples of the Nine Divine Palace, it's worth such fanfare?"

"What fanfare? This is just the simplest temptation, because in another nine years, it will be the Lingyun Dao Conference jointly organized by the five major sects of the Cangwu Realm, at that time, the elite disciples of the five major sects will conduct a competition, so as to determine the division of interests in the Five Elements Realm in the next hundred years, and in the past nearly a thousand years, the Nine Divine Palaces have the greatest advantage, so they have the greatest interests in the Five Elements Realm, it is precisely because of this that this sect and the other three major sects will be keen to defeat the Nine Divine Palace, and the important surname of this temptation is conceivable!"

The cold howling sky described lightly.

"I see! Tsk! It's so serious!" Feng Ruo said with a wry smile, "It seems that it is necessary for me to withdraw, don't become the hind leg of this sect!"

"Haha! Senior Brother Feng Ruo laughed! Actually, it's not that serious, the so-called competitions all require the same realm to be carried out, unless you are particularly confident in yourself before you can skip the challenge! And I think since the uncle and uncle who lead the team can choose Senior Brother Feng Ruo, they must be very optimistic about you!"

When Leng Xiaotian said this, he inadvertently glanced at the phantom sword in Feng Ruo's hand, and suddenly praised: "This sword weapon in Feng Ruo's junior brother's hand is a good sword, it should belong to the best, I don't know what the name of this sword is?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother Leng praised it falsely, this sword is called Phantom, but in fact, it can't be entered into the eyes of the masters!" Feng Ruo smiled, and then put the Phantom Sword into the scabbard behind his back.

"Phantom, could it be that he portrayed the Phantom Formation?" Leng Xiaotian's expression became very surprised, you must know that it is not too difficult to depict a high-level formation on a five-grade sword weapon, like his sword weapon, the positive and negative nine-star formation and the basic Fengxing formation are depicted, but the Phantom Formation has always been difficult, and it is basically difficult to succeed, but if the portrayal is successful, it is definitely very remarkable.

"Well, that's right! It's the Phantom Formation, but this is what I portrayed for me by an unknown senior master by accident!"

Feng Ruo replied casually without blinking, for him, it would be better to have less trouble, although the ability to depict the formation with his mind was not too scarce!

"Oh! that's really a pity!" Leng Xiaotian shook his head regretfully, if he could meet such a senior master who was proficient in formation carving, he would even be willing to give up his current sword weapon and refine it again, but unfortunately, this is the chance!
