Chapter Eighty: Genius of Refining Equipment

  "Here is the secret recipe for your Heart Refining Technique." Just as Wei Yu was still in a daze, Hai Tian had already tossed over the "Nine Layers of Overlapping Waves".

  At this time, Wei Yu finally realized that Hai Tian was not joking, but serious. He excitedly held the old book with both hands, looking at the name on the cover, and his heart trembled even more.

  "Ninefold Ripple! It's actually Ninefold Ripple!" Wei Yu exclaimed, immediately drawing the attention of Toca and others.

  The crowd gathered around, looking at Wei Yu in confusion, as well as the old-looking book in his hand.

  "Lao Wei, what's wrong with you? What's so surprising about this book?" Tuo Ka and the others were puzzled. None of them were alchemists, and they knew almost nothing about alchemy.

  "Do you know? This 'Ninefold Overlapping Waves' is actually the top-level secret manual in the legendary Central Refining Method, equivalent to a high-level heavenly skill in cultivation methods. Do you know what this means?" Wei Yu said in one breath, seeing everyone's bewildered shaking of their heads, he continued, "This is the only legendary refining manual that can refine a heavenly sword!"

  "What? Heaven Rank Sword Equipment? Are you kidding me?" The crowd was stunned instantly, everyone knew that Heaven Rank Sword Equipment had long become a synonym for impossible on the Soul Sword Continent. Even if it were a Sword God-level expert, having an Earth Rank sword equipment in hand would already be very impressive.

  Even some of those who are quite mediocre might have to make do with wielding a high-grade Xuan-ranked sword.

  "Wei Yu exclaimed excitedly: 'Of course, this is the top secret recipe among our equipment refiners. I never thought I'd see it here today, what a miracle!'"

  Everyone's gaze at Haitian has completely changed, and no one expected that Haitian would have such a top-level refining manual in his hand. Especially Tuo Ka, who was even more sighing with relief in his heart, fortunately, he had always been careful to treat Haitian, if he looked down on Haitian because of his weak strength, then his troubles would really come.

  "Sea... Sky, do you really have to lend it to me for a look?" Wei Yu asked again with a tremble, his heart even more puzzled. If it were an ordinary Heart Refining technique, that would be one thing, but Sea Sky actually brought out this top-grade secret manual.

  Seeing Wei Yu's puzzlement, Hai Tian shrugged and could understand. He knew the preciousness of "Ninefold Ripple" to a refiner, but he didn't mind. Since he wouldn't become an official refiner himself, it was better to share it with friends rather than keeping it private.

  "If you don't want to see it, you can choose to return it to me." Hai Tian said with a smile.

  Wei Yu's face turned pale with fright, and he hastily covered the "Ninefold Overlapping Waves" in his arms, as if afraid it would be snatched away: "No, no, no, I didn't say I didn't want to see it. Since you're so generous, then I won't be so petty either. It's just a high-grade Xuan-level sword, what's the harm in giving it to you?"

  As he spoke, Wei Yu took out a crystal clear blue long sword from his storage ring, shimmering with starlight. The surrounding crowd could see at a glance that this sword was indeed a high-grade Xuan-level sword.

  "Isn't this the Qingfeng Sword? Old Wei, it's your treasured possession, and you're really giving it to Shifu Zu?" Toka was shocked. He knew how important the Qingfeng Sword was to Wei Yu, and he couldn't believe it was being given away just like that.

  Wei Youling glanced at the Qingfeng Sword with a hint of regret, gritted her teeth: "Seriously speaking, it's still... Haitian who owes me. If I can master the Heart Refining Technique, then not to mention a high-grade Xuan-level sword, even a Tian-level sword is not impossible."

  At this moment, Haitian knew that Haitian was Toka's uncle, and Wei Yu, who was of the same generation as Toka, really didn't know how to address Haitian. Whenever mentioning Haitian's name, he would stutter, fearing that Haitian might not be pleased.

  Haitian had never been particular about seniority, but he slightly furrowed his brow: "Wei Yu, I have no choice but to interrupt your fantasy. You thinking of refining a Heaven-tier sword is absolutely impossible, and even an Earth-tier one isn't possible."

  "why?" It wasn't Wei Yu who asked this, but Toka beside him. At this moment, he had already begun to plan that after Wei Yu learned it, he would let him refine a first-class sword for himself. However, Hai Tian shattered his dream in an instant.

  "Because this 'Ninefold Overlapping Waves' only has the first half, at most I can learn how to refine high-grade Xuan-level sword equipment. As for the refining methods of Earth and Heaven level sword equipment, they are in the second half, which I haven't obtained yet." Haitian spoke out calmly.

  Weiyu and others were disappointed, but Weiyu still flipped through the book with high expectations: "Even if I can't refine a Tier 4 sword, it's enough to learn the Heart Refining Method."

  Haitian handed over the Qingfeng sword to Wei He, who was standing beside him. Although Wei He had not spoken a word all along, his face was now flushed with excitement, and after being sealed for more than a decade, he was finally about to be unsealed.

  "Thanks, Master Uncle." Wei He wasn't very good at speaking and it took him half a day to squeeze out this one sentence.

  Haitian smiled casually: "Don't say such polite words, you're my junior, who else should I help? Let's get started when we go back later."

  "Alright." Wei He didn't rush him either; after all these years of waiting, did this little bit of time even matter?

  It turned out that Toka was very curious and only found out after asking that Weihuo was actually sealed, no wonder he couldn't feel Weihuo's sword spirit all along.

  "Well, in that case, let's hurry back." Toca urged anxiously.

  Haitian smiled lightly and shook his head, pointing at Wei Yu who was completely absorbed in the scene: "No rush, we can go after he finishes watching."

  Time passed quickly, and Wei Yu was also deeply immersed in the sea of books, unable to extricate himself. However, someone with a keen eye had noticed that Wei Yu's face had changed from its initial excitement, to its recent seriousness, and now to its current stiffness, his expression becoming increasingly unsightly.

  After a while, Wei Yu raised his head and exchanged the "Ninefold Overlapping Waves" with Hai Tian, bitterly smiling: "I completely can't learn this heart-refining technique, it's really frustrating."

  "Can't learn? Why is that?" Haitian was taken aback and opened his mouth in surprise.

  "The method of Heart Refining has extremely strict requirements for the Refiner, first and foremost being an extremely pure congenital Fire Spirit body. Although I have a Fire Spirit body, it's not congenital. From this point alone, I've already been eliminated. Furthermore, one must also possess sword intent that far surpasses their own strength to complement it, but my sword intent is the same as my actual strength. It's fundamentally impossible for me to learn."

  "Huh? Then why was Master Uncle able to learn it all of a sudden?" Toka asked in confusion.

  Before Wei Yu could respond, Xiao Yu exclaimed: "Of course that's because Tian Ge is a genius!"

  Tuo Ka and others would naturally not take Xiao Yu's words to heart, but Wei Yu couldn't help but smile wryly: "He's right. Hai Tian not only has a congenital fire spirit body and sword intent that far surpasses his own strength, but also has a strong talent for alchemy. That's why he was able to succeed in the second trial."

  Not to mention the crowd, Hai Tian himself was shocked, he knew that he had a congenital fire spirit body, and the sword recognition depended on the soul's power, which made it even more impossible.

  As for his talent in refining equipment, he really didn't know much about it.

  Looking at the bewildered sea and sky, Wei Yu Zhen had a feeling that people were more suffocating than people. He had worked hard for decades to become a fifth-tier alchemist.

  What about others? They've just started learning and succeeded in refining it for the second time, with a quality that far surpasses its peers. What else can he say?

  Talent is something innate, and it can't be changed at all.

  "I finally understand why he would be your master's uncle." Wei Yu's face was filled with bitterness, although he had an unwilling heart, he also felt helpless. He believed that Haitian, as long as he was willing to study hard, would definitely become a super refiner in the Soul Sword Continent in the future.

  As for Wei Yu's words, Tuo Ka couldn't help but dryly laugh, Hai Tian Hui was his master's uncle and it wasn't because of his talent in refining equipment.

  "If you can't learn, then I don't want your Qingfeng sword either. Let's just borrow it like before and return it to you after we're done using it." Haitian didn't want to owe anyone a favor without a good reason; he knew that while material things were easy to repay, human relationships were not.

  Later in cultivation, it depends on the improvement of one's state of mind. If there are unresolved interpersonal relationships, then a crack will form in one's state of mind, which will affect future cultivation.

  Wei Yu didn't have any objections to this. He understood Hai Tian's actions, but he couldn't understand why Hai Tian wanted to borrow the high-level sword from Xuanjie.

  Under the confusion in his heart, Wei Yu asked out his own question.

  "Because Weihe sealed the Minotaur clan, we need a high-level sword of the Mystic Rank, a Sword King or above, and the Ox's Hoof Grass to lift the seal. We've already found the Ox's Hoof Grass, and Toka has taken care of the Sword King or above expert, but we're still missing one high-level sword of the Mystic Rank. We'll return it to you once we're done." Haitian roughly explained.

  "What's this about a seal of the Minotaur clan?" Torka and Wei Yu both furrowed their brows at the same time.

  As the Sword Emperor, they were aware of the Minotaur clan, but didn't expect Wei He to plant this seal. No wonder they couldn't sense any sword spirit energy on him, yet had an unfathomable feeling.

  "Master Shu, shall we go back and start now?" Wei He couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and urged hastily.

  "Master Uncle?" Wei Yu was shocked again, opening his mouth. Wei He called Hai Tian Master Uncle, so Wei He was also Toka's Master Uncle? Toka was a high-ranking Nine-Star Sword Emperor, where did all these elders come from?

  He glanced at Tuo Ka beside him and saw that Tuo Ka had a bitter smile on his face. Wei Yu suddenly realized the meaning of Tuo Ka's smile. The strength of Hai Tian and Wei He was not as strong as Tuo Ka, but Tuo Ka became the lowest in seniority.

  Haitian didn't notice the surprise in Wei Yu's eyes and nodded: "Alright, let's go back and find a quiet place."

  Before they left, Wei Yu suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, if you want to find a quiet place, this is it. Usually no one dares to come here. Also, I want to see how the seal is lifted."

  Everyone looked at each other and Hai Tian clapped his hands: "It's okay like this, let's just do it here."

  "Master Shu, shall we begin now?" Wei He asked excitedly.

  "Let's get started."
