“Sky Blood Spear and Primordial Gold Stick!” Elder Yun was able to recognize the two weapons Ye Mo was carrying with a single glance. He exclaimed in shock, “The Sky Blood Spear is one of the Seven Great Primordial Vicious Weapons that is an immortal weapon that ranks above bejeweled and celestial weapons! It was rumored to be a weapon of the gods. How did you get hold of a weapon like this? No, something is not right. The aura of the Sky Blood Spear seems wrong. The aura is only at the level of a low-grade spirit weapon. And that Primordial Gold Stick, isn’t that the weapon of Saint Skyburn?”

“Good observations, Martial Uncle Yun.”

Ye Mo took the two weapons off his back and said, “This is the spearhead of the Sky Blood Spear. When I got it, the spearhead was already damaged. Now, it only has the might of a low-grade spirit weapon. Its shaft had broken as well. Therefore, I have to temporarily use a spirit weapon as the shaft. This Primordial Gold Stick is a spirit weapon I obtained from the Skyburn Tomb. I was thinking of asking you to help combine these two weapons into one.”

“Do you mean you want the Primordial Gold Stick to act as the Sky Blood Spear’s shaft?” Elder Yun asked in shock.

“That’s right!”

“Not possible. That’s impossible.” Elder Yun shook his head and said, “Each spirit weapon has its own weapon spirit. Each weapon spirit is an extremely proud existence. Putting two spirit weapons together will definitely cause a conflict. The two weapon spirits will start fighting each other. This is something not even a weapon refiner can change.”

“Is there no other way around this? Although I don’t know the origin of this immortal weapon, there must be a reason for this particular spirit weapon to have two parts to it,” Ye Mo said.

“This Sky Blood Spear had indeed been forged in an extremely odd manner. The forger had actually separated it into two parts. Let me take a look at it.”

Elder Yun took the Sky Blood Spear and passed it back to Ye Mo after studying it in detail.

“I have an idea, but I’m not sure if it will work.”

“No harm in saying it, Martial Uncle Yun.”

“Fuse the weapon spirits,” Elder Yun said.

“Fusing the weapon spirits?”

Weapons reaching the spirit weapon level or defensive treasures all had a weapon spirit to it. For instant, the Sky Blood Spear had its own weapon spirit that had been formed of the power of blood it had absorbed. Among the spirit weapons Ye Mo had seen before, the Spirit of Hellfire was an example of a weapon that had a weapon spirit formed out of hellfire. Another example would be the Holy Snow Sword that would definitely have a weapon spirit formed out of the power of frost within.

“We will fuse the weapon spirits of the Sky Blood Spear and Primordial Gold Stick to create a new weapon spirit!”

As Elder Yun spoke, he became excited. He had spent a lifetime refining weapons and had refined a countless number of magic weapons and three spirit weapons. He was one of the top grandmaster refiner of the Tianwu Kingdom. Fusing weapon spirits was something he had never tried before.

“Fusing the weapon spirits of Sky Blood Spear and Primordial Gold Stick? How is that possible?” Ye Mo was shocked by this idea.

“Nothing is impossible. This might be a bold idea, but it is also the only hope of combining the two spirit weapons,” Elder Yun said.

“Fine. I will have to trouble you then,” Ye Mo said.

“Not quite so. I still need you to do something. Fusing weapon spirits is not a normal task. You have to go to the Sword Whisper Manor to get an item called spirit plucking tool. Without that tool, I won’t be able to fuse the two weapon spirits.”

The spirit plucking tool was an essential item for spirit weapon refinement. It was a tool capable of nurturing the weapon spirit’s spiritual potential. The Sword Whisper Manor was a manor well-known for its sword forging prowess. Although the people of the manor weren’t too powerful combat wise, the weapons forged by them were incredibly powerful. Nearly 30% of Tianwu Kingdom’s weapons and defensive tools were bought from the Sword Whisper Manor.

“Spirit plucking tool? I’m sure it would be better if Martial Uncle Yun personally mdke this request, right?”

The Sword Whisper Manor was a Manor at the Sword Whisper City of the northern provinces. Ye Mo had heard about this when attending a Qingyun League’s class. The spirit plucking tool was a treasure of weapon refiners. To forge a weapon with a weapon spirit, the spirit plucking tool was essential.

“I am not a suitable person to go. In any case, you have to pass the two weapons to me so I can polish the Primordial Gold Stick for you. That will be necessary to ensure that the Primordial Gold Stick would be compatible with the Sky Blood Spear,” Elder Yun said.

“Am I going alone?”

“Of course you can’t go alone. I will get Chuchu to go with you. She can take this chance to see the outside world. The manor master of the Sword Whisper Manor knows Chuchu so he will definitely give the spirit plucking tool to her. Both of you are Qingyun League members, too. Moreover, Chuchu is a Energy Shaping Sixth Realm warrior. The trip will probably be a safe one,” Elder Yun said.

Ye Mo nodded and passed the two spirit weapons to Elder Yun. Perhaps it was because Elder Yun was a weapon refiner, but the Sky Blood Spear was behaving itself beside him. After Elder Yun told Chuchu this, she was incredibly excited. Since a young age, she had been living in the Qingyun League. All her daily activities would be related to cultivation. She was naturally very curious about the outside world.

Early morning the next day, Ye Mo brought Yun Chuchu out of the Qingyun League. As usual, he left using the teleportation formation. He had recently found out from Elder Feng that this Qingyun League was in fact located nowhere near the Tianwu Kingdom. Rather, it was located amidst a huge ocean. Powerful beasts were everywhere in the ocean.

Even if a person could fly, that person would still be attacked by the oceanic beasts. When a beast leapt out of the water, it could reach a height of about 900 feet and swallow a person with a single bite. After swallowing its target, the beast would return to the water again. The impact from its fall was powerful enough to create a huge tsunami. As such, the ocean was a very dangerous place.

Even an expert of the True Energy Realm would not dare to fly through that ocean. Therefore, the league members could only use the teleportation formation if they wanted to leave the Qingyun League. It was nearly impossible for outside warriors to enter the Qingyun League.

Sword Whisper City did not have a teleportation formation connected to Qingyun League. Therefore, Ye Mo and Yun Chuchu had no choice but to teleport to the nearest city to the Sword Whisper City, a city called Tianhe City.

With Yun Chuchu’s delicate body, the Devil Firecloud Sword looked quite out of place on her back. However, both of them were dressed in the uniform of the Qingyun League. Therefore, they were considered the representative of the Qingyun League. When the warriors of the Tianhe City saw them, their faces would be filled with respect.

Yun Chuchu was completely oblivious to this. Both her eyes were busy looking all over. The curiosity of the little girl was completely unleashed from her. She would take a look at every single item being sold by the stalls on the streets. Ye Mo did not want to interrupt her wonder. Therefore, he accompanied her as she strolled around.

They spent the entire day strolling around and spent the night at a tavern in Tianhe City. Early morning the next day, Ye Mo brought Yun Chuchu out of the city. After passing through a forest, they started heading in the direction of Sword Whisper City.

“That city was surprisingly fun. It’s much more fun than cultivating at Qingyun League.” Yun Chuchu was still filled with excitement.

“That is because you have the money to enjoy yourself. Poor warriors like me would not have the money to have that much fun,” Ye Mo said with a smile.

I heard something!

Suddenly, Ye Mo frowned. He then pulled Yun Chuchu to the side. Looking through the dense tree leaves, he saw a group of people. They were escorting a carriage filled to the brim and was heading towards Tianhe City. It looked like they came from Sword Whisper City.

Each of them was riding a white horse while pulling a rope along. On the other end of the rope was a tied up person. There were both males and females of various ages among the prisoners. All of them were wearing shabby looking clothes, and their legs were shackled.

Suddenly, a girl fell onto the ground due to her body being too weak. However, she was ignored and dragged along on the ground while wailing and crying.

“These people are beasts!” Yun Chuchu was a completely innocent girl. The moment she saw this, she wanted to jump out and teach those people a lesson. However, she was stopped by Ye Mo.

“Calm down. Observe their strength and intention first. The victims might not necessarily be people worth saving,” Ye Mo said calmly.
