"Miss Zhu, how long will it take to reach Nameless Town?" Mo Wen asked while sipping his tea.
"If there are no delays on the way, it should take about a year to reach Nameless Town. However, with your ship's speed, it should only take about half a year," Zhu Xiaohong replied, puzzled by Mo Wen's question. Did he have other plans?
"That's good to hear. We may need to delay here for a few more days. I would like to take this opportunity to repair that broken sword, so you might have to wait a few days," Mo Wen stated directly. Repairing the broken sword was merely an excuse; his main goal was to refine his blade again. It would be difficult to find such a suitable place after leaving the Lava Sea.
"Oh, I see. Please take your time, Young Master. I also need to adjust myself. There is a spring in the stone chamber behind; I will go there to recover and absorb the remaining power of the Fire Lotus," Zhu Xiaohong said. The power of the Fire Lotus that Mo Wen had used to heal her still lingered within her body. If she did not absorb it in time, it would dissipate. Although the cultivation environment here was not as good as at home, she had no choice but to do it. Therefore, Mo Wen's suggestion aligned perfectly with her thoughts. Although her mother's condition was serious, it still required unsealing for treatment. They only needed to reach Nameless Town before that unsealing could happen; her mother's unsealing would take some time, and returning home would be of no use.
"That's good. The process of repairing this sword will create quite a noise, so Miss Zhu will need to prepare accordingly once you go inside," Mo Wen noted. He understood that Zhu Xiaohong needed to absorb the residual power of the Fire Lotus; even if he did not mention it, she would prepare herself for it. The main concern was that refining weapons indeed created significant noise.
Once Zhu Xiaohong went inside, Mo Wen first sealed the cave entrance and set up a Magic Circle. Although his strength had been tested several times, it would not be wise for someone to intrude while he was refining his weapon. After preparing the cave, he began the process of re-forging his blade while Xiao Hei took a few books and retreated into another stone chamber, asking Mo Wen to isolate him from the noise; he did not want to watch his boss hammering away.
For half a month, the cave was filled with clanging sounds. Looking at the sword in his hand, Mo Wen shook his head and placed it back into the spirit fire for further forging before turning his attention to the two broken sword pieces for study.
Another half month passed, and the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped sharply. This unexpected chill made Mo Wen shiver as he was in the midst of refining his sword. Unlike refining his own blade, this time he intended to infuse the Law of Power into the sword. By doing so, if this sword fell into the hands of a Cultivator who understood Law, its power would be greatly amplified. Additionally, he had incorporated many materials into its reconstruction; this sword's power would be many times stronger than when it was in the hands of Meng Ba Tian.
The technique of infusing weapons with Law was not uncommon and could be found among various crafting methods in the world. However, what made this case different was that he aimed to blend Laws from different attribute materials together. He had tried numerous Laws but failed to integrate them into the sword because it was fundamentally a Fire Attribute weapon; what he wanted was not to infuse Fire Principle.
"It truly is fate," Mo Wen sighed and decided not to dwell on the sudden drop in temperature because something was changing with the sword he was refining. He activated his Kung Fu and drew upon the surrounding Fire Principle to infuse it into the sword. To ensure successful refinement, he needed to maintain balance between the two Laws within the sword. At that moment, a cold Law of Power dominated above within the sword body; this Law of Power was something he had only felt within the Fire Lotus before.
