Chapter 124 Successive Breakthroughs
Chapter 124 Successive Breakthroughs
After this period of practice, they discovered that Wu Ren had the highest talent for weapon crafting among the three, which led to the scene at the beginning.
With the continuous infusion of spiritual energy, the blade blank gradually underwent astonishing changes.
Its originally blurry outline has become clearer, every line is sharper, and every detail is more distinct.
Just as the precious sword was about to be completed, something unexpected suddenly happened.
The knife blank, which had been lying there quietly, suddenly began to stir violently without warning, and a deafening "boom" rang out.
The blade blank, suspended high in the air, suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.
At this critical moment, Kuang Zheng, who had been intently observing the changing situation, reacted quickly.
With a wave of his right hand, a powerful force, like a storm, slammed down on the raindrops of debris.
With a single blow, the flying debris was forcefully swatted aside.
Wu Ren withdrew his spiritual energy and looked at the blade blank that had completely lost its luster, his face full of helplessness.
He sighed and said, "Alas! What a pity, another failure! We were so close to success, but in the end, we all fell short."
Seeing this, Ying Yue, who was standing to the side, quickly comforted her, "Don't be so downcast. You've actually done very well! This time, you're only one step away from successfully forging this treasured sword. Unlike me, I fail every time I try, not even after starting for long."
Even she herself felt a little embarrassed at this point, since her grades were really not impressive.
Kuang Zheng looked at the two of them and said, "You are both truly outstanding! Whether it's weapon crafting or alchemy, to achieve something, you must have an extraordinary ability to control the spiritual energy within your body!"
This is no easy task; the mental strength required is ridiculously high.
At the same time, we also need a strong spiritual energy base. Our current strength is still somewhat weak, but even so, achieving this level is already quite impressive!
Upon hearing this, Wu Ren gave a slightly self-deprecating bitter smile and shook his head, replying, "Boss, please don't try to comfort me anymore. I'm not that fragile."
However... I know in my heart that I still have a long way to go if I want to achieve something in the art of weapon crafting!
"Look, our leader successfully refined the Spirit-Nourishing Pill yesterday, while I, on the other hand, have yet to make any progress."
Ying Yue blushed a little from the praise and quickly waved her hand to explain, "Oh dear, I'm not as amazing as you say! Actually, I've experienced countless failures and wasted so many precious resources."
Furthermore, if it weren't for Zheng Ge'er's constant guidance and assistance, I probably wouldn't have been able to successfully refine it even now.
And you, you almost succeeded all by yourself, which is much better than me!
If we're talking about truly formidable figures, then it has to be Brother Zheng!
He only failed a few times at the beginning, but after that, everything went smoothly, and he succeeded almost every time he tried. Now, he can even refine the most top-grade Spirit-Nourishing Pills at will!
Upon hearing this, Wu Ren looked at Kuang Zheng with envy, while Ying Yue beside him had stars in her eyes.
In fact, Kuang Zheng was very clear that his high success rate did not stem from his own strength, but from the mysterious inheritance he received.
This inheritance gave him an extraordinary advantage—the size of his sea of consciousness was simply unbelievable!
For this reason, whether in terms of mental strength or the ability to control things, Kuangzheng far surpasses ordinary people.
As we all know, whether it is alchemy or weapon crafting, the requirements for mental strength are extremely strict.
Not only in the complex operating procedures, but also in the output of spiritual energy, precise control is required to ensure that every step is perfect.
And mental strength happens to be the area where Kuang Zheng excels most.
It is precisely because of these unique advantages that he has been able to repeatedly achieve an astonishingly high success rate.
In fact, in terms of knowledge about alchemy, he was no match for Ying Yue, and even less so for Wu Ren, who was an expert in weapon crafting.
After Kuang Zheng explained the reasons, Wu Ren was finally relieved.
He knew that this talent was a great gift bestowed upon him by God, and no matter how much others envied him, they could never match it.
Thinking of this, Wu Ren quickly adjusted his mindset and put his disappointment and resentment behind him.
He secretly resolved to compose himself and give his all for the next attempt.
On the other side, Ying Yue had consumed a lot of spiritual energy yesterday while refining pills, and her control over spiritual energy had also reached a new level, causing the originally rock-solid mid-level barrier of the Enlightenment Realm to loosen slightly.
Sensing this change, Ying Yue made a decisive move, deciding to strike while the iron was hot and break through the current bottleneck in one fell swoop to enter the next stage.
Although Kuang Zheng had also reached the critical point of breakthrough through cultivation during this period, seeing that Ying Yue was about to embark on her journey to break through the barrier, he did not hesitate to temporarily suppress his desire to break through and protect her.
After getting ready, Ying Yue took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and began this crucial breakthrough battle with full concentration.
It must be said that Ying Yue's talent is indeed amazing. Previously, due to various reasons, she had too much psychological burden, which made her progress in cultivation somewhat slow.
However, once they finally found a safe base, Ying Yue relaxed completely.
Here, without external threats or interference, one can completely relax their tense nerves.
In this relaxed state of mind, Ying Yue's potential was rapidly unleashed, and she discovered that her strength was rising as fast as a rocket.
She could feel significant progress every day during her training, as if an invisible force was propelling her forward.
Over time, this growth gradually accumulated to a critical point.
Finally, on a quiet morning seven days later, an incredibly powerful energy erupted from Ying Yue's body like a volcanic eruption.
In an instant, the surrounding air was stirred up and boiled by this energy.
Ying Yue has successfully achieved a breakthrough!
His cultivation level rose to the final stage of Enlightenment in one fell swoop, making him an even more powerful cultivator.
After she stabilized her new realm, Kuang Zheng, who was standing to the side, could not contain his excitement and immediately began to meditate and cultivate.
This time, he set his sights on a higher level of attraction, determined to launch a fierce attack.
Initially, Wu Ren and Ying Yue, who were protecting him from the side, estimated that Kuang Zheng would make a breakthrough within a month at most.
However, a full month and a half passed, and Kuang Zhengyi still hadn't achieved the breakthrough he had hoped for.
Fortunately, both of them were cultivators and knew that such things couldn't be rushed.
After confirming that Kuangzheng was in good condition, the two waited patiently.
During this period, Wu Ren was not idle either.
He used the remaining materials to make one last attempt.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and it ultimately ended in failure.
After numerous failures, Wu Ren had to admit that weapon crafting indeed had its barriers to entry. He knew he had a long way to go...
Fortunately, after experiencing this setback in refining the weapon, Wu Ren suddenly felt a slight loosening of the bottleneck in his body.
This change thrilled him, and he immediately began his breakthrough.
Time flies, and nine days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Ying Yue, as usual, carefully checked on the condition of the two people one by one.
After confirming that everything was normal, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "How should I pass this long day?"
Just as she was deep in thought, suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot straight up to the mountaintop.
In an instant, the entire cave was enveloped in this dazzling golden light, as if it were plated with a thick layer of gold.
Upon seeing this, Ying Yue did not hesitate to fly away and dodge into the distance.
The astonishing commotion caused by her last breakthrough still haunts her.
At this moment, seeing that Wu Ren has also entered a completely new realm, who knows what kind of commotion he will cause this time.
Almost at the same moment Ying Yue swiftly dodged, a huge gray vortex unexpectedly appeared above Kuang Zheng's head.
This vortex was like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, frantically devouring everything around it.
Upon seeing such a strange sight, Ying Yue, standing at a distance, couldn't hide her surprise and delight.
She never expected that these two would achieve breakthroughs at the same time!
This is absolutely incredible...
