Chapter 391: Chapter 243: Promise

"Daoist Qingping, since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I’ve had only one pursuit, and that is to ascend to the Upper Realm to explore higher levels of cultivation."

After a moment of silence, Li Qian spoke, "Therefore, I never thought about seeking a Daoist couple."

"Daoist Qian Yuan, I actually knew from the moment you refused the old manor master."

Lin Qingping had already sensed Li Qian’s attitude, "These two items, along with the Heavenly Sword Stele, I’ve thought carefully about. After all, keeping them with me would be a waste and possibly a disaster, so I sincerely want to give them to you, just for a promise."

"What kind of promise?"

Li Qian asked.

"Once you have refined the Two Forms Spirit Sword, help me rebuild the Heavenly Sword Manor."

Lin Qingping said.

It was simply impossible for her to exact revenge and rebuild the Heavenly Sword Manor on her own.

She could only place her hopes on Li Qian.

With the strength Li Qian had shown, if he were to refine the true Two Forms Spirit Sword, his power would surely increase greatly, making it no difficult task to help her rebuild the Heavenly Sword Manor.

"Alright."

Li Qian nodded and agreed directly.

If he truly refined the Two Forms Spirit Sword, along with comprehending the Sword Dao Rhythm and various hidden powers... his confidence was strong.

Since she gave so much, it was only right for him to help.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingping smiled and said, "Then it’s settled."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a massive Heavenly Sword Stele floated out.

Li Qian did not decline, and he gathered the Outer Heaven Spirit Copper and the Jade Scroll for refining the Two Forms Spirit Sword, while he placed the massive Heavenly Sword Stele in the middle of the Daoist Temple’s courtyard.

With the existence of the Chen Bell Domain, there was no need to worry about it being leaked out.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, I’ve been here for such a long time, having lost contact with the outside world, I plan to go out and connect with the survivors of the Heavenly Sword Manor."

Lin Qingping said.

"Now that the Netherworld Palace is hunting down members of the Heavenly Sword Manor, if you go out, there could be significant risks."

Li Qian said.

In Yiling Town, he could still protect Lin Qingping, but once she left, he wouldn’t be able to help her.

If it was only the Netherworld Palace, he could deal with it now, but it also involved the Spiritual King Mansion and the Xin Family, which made it different.

Thus, he had to refine the Two Forms Spirit Sword before taking action.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, don’t worry, under the circumstances of my deliberate hiding, I can still protect myself."

Lin Qingping chuckled lightly.

If she wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Sword Manor, she had to contact the survivors; otherwise, she would have no one to rely on in the future.

The Heavenly Sword Manor was the Lin Family’s foundation, extending for over a hundred thousand years, and it could not be destroyed in her hands.

Li Qian also thought so; the Heavenly Sword Manor, as a major power sustaining for such a long time, surely had its unknown channels and methods.

Hence, he did not inquire further.

The next day.

Lin Qingping quietly left Yiling Town.

The Daoist Temple quieted down.

Li Qian gazed at the red-gold Outer Heaven Spirit Copper and the Jade Scroll concerning the Two Forms Spirit Sword, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Though this wasn’t exploiting someone’s plight, it was indeed quite advantageous for him.

So, he definitely needed to find a way to compensate Lin Qingping in the future.

As his Spiritual Sense shifted, the refining methods for the Two Forms Spirit Sword in the Jade Scroll were no longer a secret.

This set of Two Forms Spirit Sword must be refined with two accompanying Spirit Golds.

Moreover, there were two refining methods.

One involved Dual Cultivation with a Daoist couple.

The success rate was slightly higher.

Because refining the Two Forms Spirit Sword alone consumed a vast amount of Spiritual Energy.

If refined in the Upper Realm, it wouldn’t be a concern, but in the Lower Realm, it became very precarious.

Once the Spiritual Energy couldn’t keep up, the backlash from the Two Forms Spirit Sword was extremely severe.

Therefore, from a safety perspective, choosing to refine through Daoist couple Dual Cultivation was the most reliable, with the highest chance of success.

However, Li Qian didn’t want to consider a Daoist couple for now, so he could only refine it alone.

Luckily, with the Chen Bell present, although the Spiritual Energy wasn’t abundant, it should suffice for refining the Two Forms Spirit Sword.

Thinking of this, Li Qian began to meticulously study.

This Two Forms Spirit Sword wasn’t simply two Spirit Swords; it also required Spirit Patterns to be engraved during the refining process.

With ordinary Spirit Swords, natural Spirit Patterns would gradually form during refinement as it became complete.

However, the evolution of these natural Spirit Patterns depended entirely on the person and luck... If one was fortunate, very powerful Spirit Patterns could form, while at other times, weak ones could form, thereby affecting the quality of the Spirit Sword.

But... with specialized Spirit Sword refining techniques, it’s different.

Such Spirit Sword refining methods are often perfected over countless years before taking shape, with immense power.

The Two Forms Spirit Sword, in particular, is a formidable Spirit Sword, far stronger than any Spirit Sword he could refine by himself.

Time passed day by day.

Li Qian immersed himself in refining the Two Forms Spirit Sword.

In this way, more than half a year elapsed.

In the Daoist Temple.

Li Qian sensed within his Dantian Qi Sea, two strange Spirit Sword Embryos intertwined, constantly moving.

Within the two Sword Embryos lay a very special connection, and once utilized, the power generated was not simply a matter of one plus one.

Most intriguingly, on the surface of the two Spirit Swords, faint Spirit Patterns...

These are the Two Forms Spirit Patterns he engraved during the refining process.

However, to fully form, it still requires a long period of ritualistic refinement.

This demands a great deal of Spiritual Energy.
