It was clear that carving those sword patterns using Primordial Power was a very exhausting task for Si Xiaochun.
As the Primordial Power dwindled, the speed of carving the sword patterns slowed down. Seeing the last trace of Primordial Power almost depleted, yet one-third of the sword pattern still unfinished, Si Xiaochun couldn’t help but feel anxious.
During the drawing process of the Five Elents Spiritual Pattern, it must not be interrupted. Once interrupted, not only would the spiritual pattern itself be scrapped, but the entire Spiritual Artifact would also be wasted, rendering Si Xiaochun’s days of toil worthless.
Moreover, the cost of the materials for this Spirit Sword was not sothing Si Xiaochun could afford.
It’s not working!
Si Xiaochun’s Primordial Power was completely exhausted, a deep sense of frustration arose spontaneously.
But just when Si Xiaochun was in despair, he suddenly felt a warmth at his back, with a soft hand placed on his back.
A surge of warmth rapidly flowed from his back to his Dantian.
Si Xiaochun felt that in his originally depleted Dantian, newly born Primordial Power erged like bubbling spring water, a large amount of Primordial Power surged rapidly throughout his body.
The previously exhausted Primordial Power flourished once again.
Si Xiaochun couldn’t spare any more thoughts, he concentrated and continued with the spiritual pattern carving, throughout the carving process, the hand on his back steadily supplied strength.
About an hour later, when the patterns on the tip of the Spirit Sword ford a complete spiritual pattern, the blade seed to be coated with a layer of golden morning light, emitting a golden glow.
Only then did Si Xiaochun retract his Primordial Power, he eagerly swung the Spirit Sword in his hand, and with a "swoosh" sound, the sword rely swung casually, the sword wind carrying Golden Power instantly cleaved a test stone beside the furnace.
"Good sword."
Applause echoed from behind him, only then did Si Xiaochun wake up from his dream-like state, he saw Ye Lingyue holding her little black rabbit, standing not far away, her dark face filled with a look of approval.
Si Xiaochun was stunned, only feeling that although Ye Lingyue was unusually dark-skinned, her smile, indeed when she smiles, it is truly beautiful.
Thinking of this, Si Xiaochun’s cheeks flushed, he dared not look Ye Lingyue in the eye.
The gentle feeling from Ye Lingyue’s hand seed to remain on his back, and with no one else around, Si Xiaochun realized that the one who had assisted earlier was Ye Lingyue.
"Thank you earlier, but your Primordial Power?"
Si Xiaochun only rembered yesterday, Ye Lingyue was the unlucky newcor who encountered the Primordial Power Storm at the Ancient Pass, she was originally headed to Yann City to report, but due to a twist of fate ended up at Huangquan City.
Generally speaking, newcors reporting to places like Yann City or Huangquan City do not possess the Power of Reincarnation.
Si Xiaochun also did not sense any Power of Reincarnation beside Ye Lingyue, so what was the strength she transmitted to him earlier?
That strength, though not forceful or domineering, was like a stream flowing from a high mountain, far-reaching and continuous.
"Oh, that’s not any high-level Primordial Power, just a kind of family-inherited treatnt technique to adjust ridians. I know so dical skills, seeing you were low on strength, I helped out just in passing. But Xiao Chun, I must remind you, exhausting Primordial Power is very dangerous, if not for , this ti, not only would the Spiritual Artifact be scrapped, but you yourself would suffer harm."
Ye Lingyue did not quite agree with Si Xiaochun’s risky approach.
"Never again, it definitely won’t happen next ti, actually I’ve already promised the City Lord, I won’t take on blacksmithing jobs anymore." Si Xiaochun scratched his head and said regretfully.
He was raised in the City Lord’s Mansion since childhood, back then the Old City Lord’s health was already deteriorating, and the mansion’s prospects were becoming worse year by year.
Si Xiaochun learned various skills at a young age, and blacksmithing was a craft he learned secretly outside the mansion to support its expenses.
"Can the iron shop take private jobs?"
Ye Lingyue’s ears perked up upon hearing this.
"Yes, but you need to learn engraving spiritual patterns."
Si Xiaochun didn’t notice Ye Lingyue’s eyes light up and responded casually.
Forging Spiritual Artifacts using the Power of Reincarnation is laborious work, ordinary Martial Artists with a bit of Power of Reincarnation can forge, so the pay isn’t high, but spiritual patterns are different. Take Si Xiaochun’s Spirit Sword for example, although only the tip was engraved with a spiritual pattern, just that bit can fetch quite a good reward.
Spiritual patterns, alas, she doesn’t understand them.
Ye Lingyue felt sowhat regretful.
But she did not give up, after thinking it over, Ye Lingyue said.
"It’s already late, Xiao Chun, is this Spirit Sword you forged going to the iron shop? You seem quite busy, I’m free at the mont, why don’t I help you deliver it? Also, I can take this opportunity to get more familiar with Huangquan City."
With Ye Lingyue’s reminder, Si Xiaochun realized that he spent a full four hours forging and carving the spiritual pattern.
The City Lord was about to get up, and he had not prepared breakfast, he also promised the iron shop to deliver by noon, he really didn’t have ti to deliver it himself.
"I’ll trouble you then, the iron shop isn’t far from the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s the third street after turning left out the gate, just hand it over to the shopkeeper."
With that, Si Xiaochun sheathed the sword with a leather scabbard, handed it to Ye Lingyue, and hurried off to change clothes and clean up.
After Si Xiaochun left, Ye Lingyue took out the sword again and examined the spiritual patterns ticulously with spiritual power.
Carving spiritual patterns is an extrely complex process, for Martial Artists or Alchemists who know spiritual patterns, they are considered secrets that are not readily shared.
Of course, even an ordinary person, just watching once, would feel perplexed and learn nothing.
So earlier Si Xiaochun didn’t mind fully carving the tip’s spiritual pattern in front of Ye Lingyue.
Little did he know, Ye Lingyue’s mory was exceptionally strong, just one look, and after inspecting the spiritual patterns thoroughly, she clearly rembered the spiritual patterns Si Xiaochun carved on the tip of the sword.
What she lacked now was a real chance to carve, after all, for spiritual patterns, Ye Lingyue was only encountering them for the first ti.
To gain this opportunity, she would have to visit the city’s iron shop.
Having gained so understanding of spiritual patterns, Ye Lingyue took the sword and followed Si Xiaochun’s directions, heading towards the city’s iron shop.
As soon as Ye Lingyue arrived at Huangquan City, she noticed that of the nine new cities, the most chaotic and impoverished Huangquan City, while other shops’ businesses were poor, so shops thrived.
Take the tavern at Huangquan City’s information center, for example.
Another being the iron shop Ye Lingyue was about to visit.
As Huangquan City’s largest manufacturer of Spiritual Artifacts, the iron shop nad "Cold Mountain Inn" located on the comrcial street, had a thriving business, bustling with custors every day.
