“Indeed, we should bring a gift for Mr. Pater, how about the Cold Ice Sword?”
Theodore said as he turned back to Sword Pavilion and took the Cold Ice Sword from the sword rack.
The Cold Ice Sword was not a light gift as it could cut through iron easily.
The group left the underground Sword Pavilion and returned to the martial arts square.
It was already sunset, and the golden glow of the sun sprinkled on the square like golden powder.
The air in the square was fresh with spiritual energy, and almost all disciples of Iron Sword Sect were gathered there practicing in formation, whether they were disciples or elders.
From time to time, some people opened their eyes excitedly, obviously having gained something valuable from their practice.
“Now it’s mealtime. Usually at this time, disciples would have already gathered at the cafeteria instead of practicing so diligently,” Ocean Source said with a smile.
“Yes indeed. These little brats are rarely so diligent in their practice,” Cold River also smiled faintly on his face.
“All thanks go to Mr. Bloomer for this,” Theodore sincerely said with gratitude in his heart.
Leo withdrew his gaze and smiled, “Let’s go have dinner at Pater family’s place. Let’s go!”
At this moment, Leo, Theodore, Ocean Source, Cold River, and Skyfire each took their seats on the backs of two golden eagles.
Serene Dark was already old, and due to recently being cured of heartburn, he did not accompany them.
The two golden eagles flapped their enormous wings and soared into the sky, quickly turning into two small black dots that disappeared on the horizon.
When it was dark, the two golden eagles landed at the Pater Residence.
Jason, accompanied by the elders and high-ranking members of the family, greeted them with a smile.
“Mr. Pater, Iron Sword Sect has offended you before. I hope you can forgive us,” Theodore lowered his posture and apologized before presenting a beautifully packaged sword case to Jason.
The Master of the prestigious Iron Sword Sect, a top force in the cultivation world, apologizing and presenting a gift to the head of a second-rate cultivation family.
This gesture undoubtedly showed Jason respect.
Although Jason still had some grievances with the Iron Sword Sect, it was now under Leo’s command, so he naturally wouldn’t treat Theodore with indifference.
“You’re being too polite, Lord Theodore,” Jason smiled as he accepted the sword case from Theodore.
Jason knew very well that Theodore was only apologizing to him because of Leo.
Ocean Source spoke up, “Mr. Pater, Iron Sword Sect has become a subordinate force of Mr. Bloomer. If your family encounters any difficulties in the future, Iron Sword Sect will not stand idly by.”
Joy spread across Jason’s face, and he gestured, saying, “Mr. Bloomer, Lord Theodore, esteemed elders, please!”
A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the villa.
After the banquet, the Pater family prepared a luxurious guest room for each person.
After a busy day, Leo was indeed tired. After entering his own room, he took a comfortable hot bath and then sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to sort out the gains from his trip in Ron State.
Firstly, there was the damaged storage bag obtained from slaying the Black Poison King, containing over a thousand Spirit Stones, as well as the cursed items Death Soul Banner, Ghost Formation Flag, and a Yin Spirit Pearl.
Next was the Spirit Jade Vein obtained from Wolong Pool beneath Grand Mountain, and finally, the Divine Dragon Sword and Azure Frost Sword obtained from the Iron Sword Sect, along with a profound sword capable of concealing divine consciousness.
For Leo, the most useful treasures at the moment were the Spirit Stones, Spirit Jade Vein, and Divine Dragon Sword.
Next, Leo’s task was to refine the Divine Dragon Sword.
With a wave of his right hand, he summoned the Divine Dragon Sword from the Void Storage Talisman and controlled it to float horizontally in front of him.
For a spiritual weapon, one must use their own essence blood to refine it, preferably the essence blood of a Cultivator.
Martial Cultivators could also refine it, but they had to reach a certain level of cultivation, otherwise, they would be easily harmed by the spiritual weapon.
Leo extended his right index finger and forced out a drop of essence blood, which fell onto the Divine Dragon Sword.
“Buzz…!”
After a buzzing sound, the Divine Dragon Sword trembled, and a cold light burst forth from its blade.
Leo’s drop of essence blood visibly penetrated into the Divine Dragon Sword at a rapid speed.
The trembling Divine Dragon Sword emitted a faint red halo around its blade.
Leo’s eyes turned pitch black and profound as he focused all of his consciousness on refining the Divine Dragon Sword, constantly changing hand seals.
Three minutes later, the red halo emanating from the Divine Dragon Sword contracted and disappeared.
Immediately, a chilling white aura rose from the blade of the Divine Dragon Sword.
Within the aura, an image of a soaring white dragon appeared.
A touch of blood-colored energy surged onto the head of the white dragon and spread along its body and tail.
The white dragon image completely transformed into a blood-red color.
At this point, the part of refining the Divine Dragon Sword with essence blood had been completed.
After imprinting his divine consciousness, the Divine Dragon Sword could establish a connection with Leo’s mind and thoughts.
Refining a spiritual weapon is extremely mentally and spiritually taxing, as one must be highly concentrated to avoid backlash.
Leo gently closed his eyes, completely focusing his divine consciousness on the Divine Dragon Sword, starting the process of imprinting his consciousness.
Three hours later, when Leo opened his eyes, it was already midnight.
The beautiful moon, its light shining through the window, spilled into the room like milk mixed with water.
At the moment Leo opened his eyes, the Divine Dragon Sword emitted alternating white and red radiance, illuminating the entire room brightly.
A massive dragon shadow soared into the sky from the Divine Dragon Sword, piercing through the roof and heading straight into the night sky.
A clear dragon’s roar resounded through the night sky.
The sound of the dragon’s roar startled the people in the villa, and they quickly stuck their heads out of the windows, gazing at the night sky.
The dragon shadow quickly disappeared from the night sky.
After the dragon shadow vanished, the white and red radiance on the Divine Dragon Sword retracted into the blade, restoring the sword to its original appearance.
At this moment, Leo could clearly feel the connection between the Divine Dragon Sword and his own mind.
The imprinting of divine consciousness was completed.
With a thought, Leo made the Divine Dragon Sword shrink rapidly and then it entered the Void Storage Talisman.
At this point, the refining of the Divine Dragon Sword was successful!
Leo let out a breath, lying back on the bed and soon drifting into a deep sleep.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the slightly opened curtains.
Leo got up from the bed, stretched lazily, and had a good night’s sleep.
After freshening up, as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Nicola coming downstairs in casual sports shorts, looking lively and youthful.
“Good morning, Leo,” Nicola greeted with a smile upon seeing Leo.
Leo smiled back and replied, “You’re up early. Don’t you like to sleep in?”
“I’m not used to sleeping in. The morning is a great time for exercise,” Nicola chuckled and stretched her arms.
Leo chuckled inwardly, understanding why she had such a great figure.
“By the way, are you going back to Langstel today?” Nicola asked.
“Yes, I’ll return after helping your family set up the formation,” Leo answered.
“Setting up the formation?” Nicola blinked her beautiful eyes, looking puzzled. Clearly, she didn’t understand what Leo was referring to.
