After resting in the cave for a night, Qin Sang returned to the fire room the next day and asked Ran Luo to bring the accumulated spiritual materials from the Chamber of Commerce. His refining skills were clearly stronger than the thin young man's. Ran Luo brought the top-grade spiritual materials, allowing Qin Sang to focus on refining top-grade magic weapons.

While helping the Chamber of Commerce forge artifacts, Qin Sang effortlessly obtained so many rare spiritual materials. They served as excellent practice tools for him, allowing his artifact refinement skills to improve rapidly. It could be considered a win-win situation.

While waiting for Ran Luo to bring the spirit materials in the furnace room, Qin Sang summoned the Wumu sword and took out a piece of spirit wood from his mustard seed pouch.

Here is the translation:<

This is the heartwood of a tree called Jiao Shan, a precious spiritwood that is no less valuable than Hanjin. It was found by Qin Sang in Du Han's pouch.

The ebony sword is just an inferior magic treasure. According to the description in 《Yǔanshen Yǎngjiàn Zhāng》, inferior magic treasures can carry a maximum of six talismans.

If the quality of the Ebony Sword cannot be improved, at the late stage of breaking through the Golden Core, the Ebony Sword will become a bottleneck hindering his breakthrough.

To upgrade the Ebony Sword from a low-grade magic treasure to a middle-grade magic treasure, it is still unknown how many spirit materials need to be consumed. Besides ten Divine Wood-ranked spirit trees, other spirit trees have limited enhancement and can only accumulate gradually.

Qin Sang knew deep down that the sooner they started, the better, lest the Ebony Sword truly become an obstacle later on.

However, the ebony sword cannot be used against enemies when it devours spiritual wood.

After finishing his cultivation in Xiong Shan, Qin Sang went to hunt demons deep within the Western Borders.

Afterward, we kept rushing on our journey, but we were also afraid of encountering accidents along the way.

Although Qin Sang had a few pieces of good-quality spirit wood in his hands, he never had the chance to let the Ebony Sword devour them.

Qin Sang stayed on Duiyan Island to help the Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce forge weapons, ensuring his safety. The Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce had amassed a considerable number of demon corpses, estimated to last at least half a year without leaving the island. Qin Sang took this opportunity to have the Wumu Sword devour several more pieces of spiritwood.

Under the guidance of Zhenyuan, Jiao Shan's heart floated in front of Qin Sang.

This piece of wood is completely white, looking pure and clean like fresh snow.

Qin Sang's heart moved, and the Ebony Sword hung upside down above the core of the Jiao Shan tree. Sword energy manifested, enveloping the core of the Jiao Shan tree.

With Qin Sang's current understanding of refining weaponry, he easily grasped the properties of the heartwood of the Blaze Mountain Tree. His sword energy gently pierced the heartwood, severing the impurities within the spirit wood.

Not long after, all that remained of the tree in Mount Jio was the purest essence of its spiritual wood.

Qin Sang's lips curled into a slight smile. He pointed his finger at the Wumu sword, and an absorbing force erupted from the edge of the sword, drawing in every last bit of the spiritual wood essence.

The ebony sword is already a magic treasure, it's not difficult to suppress the essence of the heartwood of the Burning Mountain Tree.

Qin Sang's expression was very relaxed.

To everyone's surprise, the moment the spiritwood essence was completely devoured by the ebony sword, a sudden change occurred!

These spiritual tree essences seemed to have touched upon something. The originally snow-white and faintly bluish spiritual tree essences suddenly took on a tinge of blood, spreading like wildfire.

Please note: I've removed the > tags as they were not part of the content you wanted translated. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In the blink of an eye, these spiritwood essences completely lost their vitality and turned into a pile of scrap!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The ebony sword has been restored to its former glory!

Qin Sang's complexion changed drastically, and a sense of foreboding suddenly filled his heart.

This is clearly the defilement of Wujian Blood Mulberry!

When these spiritwood origins came into contact with the blackwood sword origins, they were so inferior in quality that they couldn't resist the defilement of the endless blood mulberry. As a result, they were ruined.

This was something Qin Sang hadn't expected.

Before the formation of the elixir, Qin Sang tried to let the Wumu Sword devour the spirit wood, and a similar scene had happened before.

But at that time, he thought it was because his cultivation wasn't enough to control the power of the magic treasure, so he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, even after forming his golden core, it remained the same.

Qin Sang's expression was extremely grave. He poured all his mind and spirit into the Ebony Sword, and then took out each tree species spirit wood one by one to try, but without exception, they all failed.

This seems to stem from the conflict between Lingmu, not transferring with Qin Sang's will.

Unable to withstand the defilement of the endless blood sandalwood, the moment they came into contact, these spiritual wood origins lost their spirituality entirely. Let alone being swallowed.

When the Ebony Sword devoured the Blood Mulberry of Endless Suffering before, the Ebony Sword had a killing talisman that could resist the power of corruption. Now, this new spirit wood is not even a match for the Blood Mulberry of Endless Suffering at all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

To be integrated into the Ebony Sword, the spirit wood's quality must not be inferior to that of the Blood Sandalwood from Nowhere.

Whether it was due to the Blood Mulberry's own nature, or if other divine trees possessed similar characteristics, Qin Sang remained uncertain.

"This… Could it be that from now on, I'll have to find divine trees of the same level as the Wuxiang Blood Sang to upgrade the Ebony Sword Those legendary fairy plants are certainly no worse than the Ten Divine Trees, but who knows if they really exist. They are even rarer than the Ten Divine Trees."

Qin Sang muttered to herself, her face very ugly.

He only realized when he reached Canglang Sea that Xiaohan Realm was already a bountiful place in the cultivation world. In ten thousand years, there had only been three instances of the appearance of ten divine trees.

Although Canglang Sea's area is countless times smaller than the Little Cold Domain, it's far too barren to find even a single Divine Tree.

“Must I return to the Xiao Han domain before the late stage of knotting the elixir”

Xiaohan Domain's Wuyachai Valley is the only place Qin Sang knows of that may hold the ten Divine Trees.

That year, the entire blood-thorn tree was shattered, its fragments scattered throughout Wuyacang Valley. The two masters of Wuji Sect, with the help of Zui Yuan, entered Wuyacang Valley to search extensively. It is certain that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net.

As for reforging a natal spirit sword, Qin Sang did not dare to try it recklessly.

Furthermore, the difficulty of re-forging a magic weapon is equally immense. Changing one's natal spirit sword is equivalent to abandoning the killing talisman on its blade. Due to the nature of his cultivation technique, the killing talismans on his natal spirit sword are deeply intertwined with his cultivation level. Qin Sang didn't know what might happen, so he wouldn't dare to risk it unless absolutely necessary.

“Fortunately, upgrading the Ebony Sword is not an urgent matter. I still have a lot of time to find a way after I cultivate to the later stage of forming alchemy pills. Bottleneck, bottleneck... This is the bottleneck of the Soul-Sword Cultivation Scripture!”

Qin Sang smiled wryly. His previous thoughts had been too naive.

The Ten Divine Trees are incredibly rare, and tangible bottlenecks are perhaps not easier to overcome than intangible ones.

"No!"

Qin Sang's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Everything is possible, it's not necessarily only about finding the ten divine trees. Perhaps we can take another path and find a solution through artifact refinement. It seems like choosing artifact refinement was the right decision. In the future, I should focus part of my energy on improving my skills in this area."

He drew the ebony sword into his palm.

Qin Sang stared for a long time, with no clues. But he knew in his heart that his refining skills were still very low, and he was not discouraged.

At that time, the stone door of the fire chamber was knocked.

The Qiong Yu Chamber of Commerce sent some spirit materials.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Qin Sang put the ebony sword back into his primordial spirit, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and began to focus on refining the weapon.

The fire chamber knows neither cold nor heat.

Unknowingly, Qin Sang has been on the island for half a year.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

For half a year, he shuttled between the cave and the fire room, coming and going in a hurry, never leaving Duiyan Island once. One by one, top-grade magic weapons appeared in his hands.

Address: and without further ado, he took the Nine Illusion Sky Orchid and other auxiliary spirit medicines. To Li Yu Fu, he said, "Yu Fu, the refining method for the Duo Er Dan requires a very high level of...
