Finding a complete inheritance of the Wolf Teeth Knife in Wanjie City and within the Great Zhao Nation of this vast world was very difficult. The Wolf Teeth Knife had never been a widely recognized class of weapon; on the contrary, it was quite obscure. As such, many people believed the Wolf Teeth Knife to be a disposable magical instrument, only to be used once. After being launched, regardless of whether it hit the enemy, the knife could not be retrieved for reuse.

Wang Fengna was one such person. She had only previously heard of the Wolf Teeth Knife and had never personally handled or crafted one. Plus, she was eager to be the first to enter the Imperial Family Secret Territory, so she casually disregarded the Wolf Teeth Knife, which ended up benefitting Qi Tian.

Qi Tian’s knowledge of the Wolf Teeth Knife came mostly from the legacy of Master Ming Ren, who had once conducted extensive research on the weapon. The tomes he left behind contained detailed records of the Wolf Teeth Knife, including instructions on how to enable its multiple uses.

Qi Tian took out all the Wolf Teeth Knives he had collected, laid them out in a row, and then began to compare them; eventually, he selected the worst one. The material of this knife was the poorest among all, and it had the fewest runes engraved on it.

Holding the knife in his hand, Qi Tian examined it carefully. To determine whether a Wolf Teeth Knife could be reused relied mainly on two factors: the material of the knife and the runes engraved upon it.

The main reason Wang Fengna considered the Wolf Teeth Knife a single-use magical instrument was due to the limitations of the runes. Among these runes, there surely was a fundamental rune whose purpose was to accumulate Spirit Qi, to provide sufficient power for the other runes. This fundamental rune was the reason the knife could track targets at high speed for an extended period after leaving the launcher.

Usually, this fundamental rune was sealed. The amount of Spirit Qi accumulated during inscription was fixed. Once depleted, the rune became useless. To charge this rune with energy, outsiders would need to expend a significant amount of effort, with no guarantee of success. Later, some cultivators who obtained the Wolf Teeth Knife began to research it. Some tried to scrape off the original runes to re-engrave them, while others researched how to open a gap in the sealed fundamental rune to inject Spirit Qi through this gap and recharge the knife, thus making multiple uses possible.

The first method was almost never successful. After all, crafting a Wolf Teeth Knife was a complex task. It was not as simple as scraping off the runes and redrawing them; this involved erasing all runes and then redrawing them according to the changes in the knife. This process was cumbersome, hardly easier than forging a new knife, so many cultivators abandoned this line of research. With the time spent on this, they might as well have studied how to craft a superior flying sword.

However, some had achieved results with the second method. Master Ming Ren himself had no success in this area, but a friend of his did manage to figure it out. With just a little persuasion, Master Ming Ren had his friend share the method with him.

Qi Tian located the tome that recorded this method and, after studying it meticulously several times, began to apply the technique to the selected Wolf Teeth Knife.

After much effort, Qi Tian realized that Master Ming Ren’s method was not suitable for him. Recharging the knife using this method required two conditions: one related to the cultivator’s level of cultivation or strength — at the very least, it required the capacity of someone in the middle-to-late Gold Core Stage, ideally around the Seventh Level of the Gold Core Realm. The other condition was the need for some special tools, which would make it possible to recharge the knife following this method.

As for tools, Qi Tian had some, but they were not complete. The Wolf Teeth Knives were scarce, and not a single one existed in Master Ming Ren’s collection. He had not deliberately collected a complete set, only stashing away the most difficult tools to obtain. As for the relatively simple ones, not a single one was in his possession. Even if “simple” were relative, it would still be an enormous challenge for the current Qi Tian and virtually impossible to accomplish.

As for cultivation level, there was no need to say more. Even with the enhancement functions of the Heavenly Dao Engine, Qi Tian could at most elevate his strength to the Fourth Level of the Gold Core Realm, or possibly withstand a few clashes with a weaker cultivator at the Fifth Level of the Gold Core Realm. But the gap to the Seventh Level of the Gold Core Realm was still vast for him.

Therefore, the method passed down by Master Ming Ren was not viable. However, Qi Tian was not willing to accept this outcome. The Wolf Teeth Knife was the most appropriate magical instrument he had found for dealing multiple blows to cultivators in the Gold Core Realm, even more so than some in Master Ming Ren’s collection. Moreover, there wasn’t an issue with the origin of the Wolf Teeth Knife being unexplainable. Even if he used it many times, others would not suspect a cultivator at the level of Nascent Soul.

Qi Tian examined the knife intently, and at the same time, he pondered the method handed down by Master Ming Ren over and over again. He now hoped to find a way to adapt this method to his own condition.
