With the complete elimination of the main force of 6,000 pirates, the pirate leader Pu Yanshou and the discovery of the cave space, this large-scale counterattack against the pirate invasion can be regarded as coming to an end.

Although there are still scattered pirates on the run, there is no cause for concern. This was followed by a massive decline in the number of wounded, and a series of first aid stations gradually completed their tasks and began to close.

Liang En, who was originally busy, naturally relaxed and was able to spare more time to do his own things, and one of the first things to do was to count the harvest.

The biggest harvest came from the essence of luck, the day after returning from the previous cave space, Liang En woke up and found that he had half a silver liquid in his small ding.

After a simple communication with the bronze tripod, he found that he had obtained a full 1,768 drops of Qi Luck Essence this time, which was his biggest gain in this war.

As the first person to discover the clues of this war and issue an early warning, it was already expected that he would be able to obtain a large amount of Qi Luck Essence, but this amount seemed a little small at first glance.

After all, a war can change the fate of many people, and it is easy to feel a little disproportionate compared to the change of fate with just over a thousand points of luck essence.

Fortunately, perhaps because of a large amount of money at one time, this Xiao Ding output some information to relieve the doubts in his heart: according to this information, the two realms of Ding collected the essence of luck when they divided the situation.

If it is a change of fate caused by direct actions, such as saving people or killing enemies, then he will be able to obtain more luck essence from it.

But if it is only an indirect change, such as a warning of war in advance or the spread of knowledge that changes someone's fate, the essence of luck will be much less.

Liang En's most of the luck essence in this war came from indirect behavior, and only saving people and finally finding the center of the cave space and killing the bandit leader was considered a direct act, so the luck essence obtained was naturally much less than he imagined.

But even so, 1768 drops of Qi Luck Essence is definitely not a small number. Not to mention that he now occasionally receives one or two points of luck essence, which should have something to do with the technology he brought to save lives.

After a series of simple calculations, he began to improve his skills.

The first skills to be improved were naturally "Xiaoyao Purple Pole Qi Alchemy" and "Qinglian Sword Technique", with the input of 187 points of Qi Luck Essence, he successfully improved the exercises he inherited from Shixian to a hundred years of cultivation.

The second thing that was promoted by Liang En was the "Meridian Hug Yuan Gong", compared with the previous two exercises, this martial arts cultivation method was still a little lower in level, so only 57 drops of Qi Luck Essence allowed him to raise this exercise to the level of a hundred years of cultivation.

The reason why it was a hundred-year cultivation, instead of concentrating on all the Qi Luck Essence at one time was also very simple-his current bearing capacity was also at the hundred-year level, and if he wanted to continue to improve, he had to spend a while digesting it.

As for the last skill to be improved, alchemy, after spending nearly ten days reading the alchemy materials captured this time, Liang En consumed 375 Qi Luck Essence in one go to master the alchemy obtained this time.

If you compare, this upgrade has allowed Liang En's knowledge of alchemy to reach a level close to that of an alchemy master, but the practical level is only between an intermediate alchemist and a senior alchemist due to the lack of cultivation level.

Of course, if you simply learn alchemy, you won't be able to consume so much luck essence, and the reason why you consume so much is purely so that these alchemy techniques can adapt to the direction of Liang En's current practice.

After all, the alchemical knowledge that he had captured as trophies before was based on the Western transcendent system, and in this case, it was completely incompatible with the various inheritances that Liang En had cultivated.

That's why he consumed nearly three times the amount of Qi Luck Essence needed for normal study, and converted these alchemy, which came entirely from the West, into power that he could use.

As soon as he obtained these alchemy, he focused his energy on the manufacture of the Qinglian Sword, and now that the war was over, it became an important thing for him to forge a magic weapon for himself.

Previous battles had proven that ordinary weapons, no matter how good their quality, were of little use to Liang En, for example, the knight's sword, which was made purely with modern technology, was easily destroyed in the battle of cultivators.

This is not to say that the weapons made by modern technology are not good, but modern materials do not support spiritual power at all, so when using spiritual power, let alone obtaining an amplification, it will have an extraordinary resistance to spiritual power because those things come from a world with almost no spiritual power.

Due to the existence of the transcendent resistance in these materials from modern times, Liang En will have a large amount of power accumulated in the weapon itself when he uses the transcendent power, and finally destroy the weapon itself.

In other words, if Liang En didn't want to change several weapons in a battle, or even let the weapon become a time bomb around him, he had to find a magic weapon for cultivators to use as soon as possible.

Fortunately, due to the improvement of his cultivation and his mastery of alchemy knowledge, the speed of his preparation for forging the Qinglian Sword was also improved all of a sudden, so after a week, Liang En had prepared all the materials he needed.

These materials were not only the steel and the spirit iron that Liang En had carefully selected, but also a grinding stone made of special materials, a swordsmith's notebook, and a large vat of potions dedicated to quenching.

Among them, the former was sent by the river god Huang Yongnian, because Liang En had pointed out the way to the future for him before, so he immediately sent this captured grinding stone after learning that Liang En needed to cast a magic weapon sword that matched his cultivation path.

According to him, the stone was captured from the enemy's flagship during a previous battle against the pirates, and according to the captive's confession, it was the equipment that the pirate leader Kameda used to sharpen his sword.

Compared to ordinary grinding stones, this stone is better at grinding those extraordinary weapons, and at the same time, it can make those weapons sharper, and it is a rare auxiliary magic weapon.

The Sword Forge Master's notes are from Taixue and are a gift from the Confucian mages after receiving a manual for translating ancient Egyptian characters from Liang En.

The quenching potion came from the Temple of Medicine, and because Liang En contributed a lot of knowledge about healing and medical treatment for free this time, they expressed their gratitude to Liang En in this way.

In addition to materials, Liang En also used this time to constantly practice alchemy, gradually becoming familiar with this technique through practical operations, and adjusting his state to the best.

For a beginner like Liang En, it was undoubtedly a little nervous to refine such an important weapon in the first place.

Fortunately, Liang En, as an open-minded cultivator, now his cultivation level is much higher than that of those cultivators who refine the Blue Lotus Sword under normal circumstances.

In this case, he could use his absolute advantage in cultivation to reverse possible mistakes in the process of refining the Qinglian Sword and ensure the refining of the Qinglian Sword.
