Chapter 86: Chapter 65: Demon-breaking Dagger

Those who frequently engage in Artifact Refining know that blacksmithing is actually a skill that even mortals can master.

Wang Jixuan also felt somewhat embarrassed.

He was currently only at the early stage of Focused Spirit as a little cultivator. He couldn’t directly merge the treasure into his palm, nor did he have a suitable Refining Materials Treasure Cauldron. Even if he had one, he didn’t have enough Mana to activate it and had to resort to this rather primitive method.

But this was already a lot better than when he made the Bone Penetration Nails...

Back then, he had to break it with his hands.

One benefit of smithing materials in this way is that it allows the constant infusion of Spiritual Energy into the blade embryo during the forging process, slightly enhancing its quality.

The blade embryo gradually took shape, and since there wasn’t much material, it was just a small knife, designed to test the feasibility of such Magic Artifacts.

Swiftly, Wang Jixuan heated the blade embryo until it was red-hot, brought it in front of himself, and in full view of Uncle Tai, he placed his sword fingers together and pointed straight at it, rapidly etching out a set of simple Prohibitions on both sides.

Uncle Tai was dumbfounded, "Fuck! What is this heartless iron hand!"

Wang Jixuan smiled without a word, concentrating intently on the blade embryo. The most crucial and important step had arrived.

He puffed out his cheeks and exhaled a burst of Qi of Elixir Field. The Prohibition patterns on the outside of the blade embryo were instantly illuminated, and the entire embryo internally constructed a pathway according to the shape of the Prohibitions!

Streams of Spiritual Energy began to converge toward the blade embryo.

Wang Jixuan moved quickly, quenching, re-tempering, and hammering it once more; now it was time to give it a sharp edge.

Overall, it was quite easy.

Uncle Tai’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

Although Uncle Tai was just a mortal and couldn’t understand what was happening, his instincts told him...

Spiritual Ability Users were forging weapons for Spiritual Ability Users using methods specific to them.

Was he really going to have to choose between spicy iron anvils and garlic-scented hammers?

’Thank goodness Uncle didn’t say it out loud just now, just thought it.’

...

Commander Ling Tong was busy until after 4 a.m. before returning to the supply station.

Even the Battle Girl, who was much like an iron woman, looked a bit tired when she returned.

Upon entering the main workshop and noticing everyone was still awake, she forcefully perked up, her pretty face tense, holding a bunch of paper materials in her hands.

Huh?

Lingtong couldn’t help but doubt if she was seeing things.

By the operation desk, Wang Jixuan had both feet up on the desk, reclining in a swivel chair with Wan Xiaoqi vigorously fanning him on one side, and Uncle Tai on the other, holding tea and nodding obsequiously.

Lingtong frowned and inquired, "What are you guys... playing some kind of role-playing game?"

"Eh!"

Uncle Tai looked up at Lingtong and said with utmost seriousness:

"Commander Ling Tong, please don’t speak so sharply, you might scare our future, no, the peerless Mechanic! That wouldn’t be good, would it?"

"Hahaha!"

Wan Xiaoqi laughed out loud. Ms. Wan held an industrial coffee on the second floor, finding it difficult to watch.

"Hmm?" Lingtong tilted her head, examining the situation.

Wang Jixuan asked with a cheery smile, "How did it go on your end?"

"Got some results," she replied.

Lingtong stepped forward, and Wan Xiaoqi quickly moved to get another chair for her.

Lingtong passed the materials to Wang Jixuan who placed a ’fruit knife’ on the edge of the desk. At a gesture from Uncle Tai, Lingtong picked up the small knife to closely examine it.

Oh?

An energy reaction?

Although it was a very slight energy reaction, it was indeed similar to a Spiritual Energy reaction!

"Can you give me a brief rundown of what it is?" she asked.

Wang Jixuan handed the materials back to Lingtong, prodding her:

"There are many professional terms on here that I don’t understand, especially some of the data."

"In the laboratory of Spiritual Ability House, we found a pseudo Level B defective Spiritual Ability User."

Lingtong quickly said:

"This Spiritual Ability User was supposed to be a rare Level B Spiritual Ability User, but during the process of imbuing Spiritual Energy, there were some errors and his body began to rapidly disintegrate. He can only maintain his life through a Nutrition Storage."

"We haven’t figured out what his ability is, the powers of Spiritual Ability City have already gotten involved."

"However, I can be sure that the one unique phenomenon at the Spiritual Ability House is him.

"His life is probably less than half a year left. Previously, he has contributed to dozens of papers for several renowned scholars. Qin Qin brought him along for research."

Wang Jixuan asked, "What’s his name?"

"Meng Caiyuan," she responded.

Lingtong rubbed her neck, and Wang Jixuan quickly stood up and went behind her to start massaging her shoulders.

Lingtong continued:

"The frontline command post sent us information about Meng Caiyuan. He has acted three times before, helping other war zones with certain operations."

"His ability seems to be to mimic orders given by higher-rank Blade Beasts to lower ones."

"The sounds similar to pigeon coos that you captured are most likely emitted by him, spread to distant Blade Beasts after being amplified by a special device."

Wang Jixuan frowned and said, "Can’t we use this as grounds to take them out directly?"

"Without solid evidence, all the above information is from Meng Caiyuan’s previous participation in operations in other war zones," she explained.

Lingtong added:

"His short life is approaching its end, he is a failure.

"Otherwise, Qin Qin, just a researcher, would not have been able to get him for research."

Wang Jixuan commented with a hint of emotion, "It’s pretty tragic... to be studied even when close to death... Are we certain about the signals he sent out last night?"

"My whereabouts, most likely! Qin Qin probably wants to take revenge on me for killing Lv Dongjie, but, all this is conjecture without evidence."

Lingtong’s tone had an edge of eagerness:

"Now, a Young King Worm and a pseudo Level B special Spiritual Ability User are both targeting me."

"But don’t worry."

"The reinforcements from the frontline will arrive in the morning. I will act as Bait, drawing the swarm into terrain that is advantageous for us."
