Shen Mu hesitated a moment, then said, "Sister, why not go ahead and meet Lady Tianyin first. Once I have finished refining the sword elixir, I will come find you in Fengdu."
Di Yiyue smiled. "Very well. I will go seek out that fellow Tian Shu first. He is timid, and heaven knows where he is hiding at this moment. Once you have finished the sword, if you cannot find us in Fengdu, then go to the Tianyin Realm."
Shen Mu nodded, and Di Yiyue drifted lightly away.
"Fat Dragon, let us go to the Tujiang shipyard!"
Shen Mu leaped onto the top of the Dragon Qilin's head, and the Dragon Qilin raced off at once toward the Tujiang shipyard.
In the Tujiang shipyard, the sword elixir, which had been over thirty zhang in size, had been hammered down to only ten or so zhang. Now even the giant mechanical colossus could not refine this sword elixir any smaller.
Shen Mu took out the Vermilion Bird's wing and refined the sword elixir with the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire. He threw himself into the work alongside his primordial spirit, hammering and refining a thousand times over, ceaselessly branding his rune divine powers into the sword elixir with the might of the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire.
After more than ten days of refinement, the sword elixir became three chi in size, but still it could not be made to flow like water.
Shen Mu put away the Vermilion Bird's wing and refined the sword elixir with his Heavenly Fire divine power. After another half month of refinement, the sword elixir was one chi in size.
He tried to activate it, but circulating his vital essence was extremely strenuous; it consumed great effort of spirit to make the sword elixir transform into flying swords and slay his enemies.
"I cultivate both the divine and the demonic, so perhaps I still need to refine it with demonic fire..."
A thought stirred in Shen Mu's heart: "If I use demonic cultivation to drive the Heavenly Fire, what will happen?"
He blinked, and at once meant to test it. Then a matter suddenly came to mind. He moved the sword elixir out of the shipyard and chose a place where few people went. Then he took out the Heavenly Fire Prism and reversed his divine treasury, and at once his body was filled with surging demonic qi.
Shen Mu activated the Heavenly Fire Prism and roused the might of the Heavenly Fire.
Outside the shipyard, the Dragon Qilin was sleeping soundly when it suddenly heard an earth-shaking boom. It hastily raised its head and forced its eyes open for a single glance. Several dozen li from the shipyard, black fire filled the sky and rose slowly upward.
The Dragon Qilin yawned, clambered shakily to its feet, took two steps forward, and flopped down again with a thud, squinting its eyes and snoring away. It mumbled, "The Sect Master probably won't die..."
