Chapter 15: Bestowing Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence

At this moment, He Zhi had only four words in his mind: cuts through iron like mud!

He had verified his theory.

An ordinary iron wire, when brought to the cultivation world, was also greatly enhanced.

It truly cut through iron like mud!

After the experiment, He Zhi found the iron wire that had pierced through the steel ingot and fallen to the warehouse floor, then returned to reality.

Once the iron wire returned to reality, it reverted to being ordinary, no longer possessing the miraculous ability to cut through iron like mud.

He Zhi didn't mind—this was within his expectations.

After all, He Zhi was a Core Formation powerhouse in the cultivation world, but back in reality, he was just a disabled person.

He Zhi looked at the coil of iron wire as if gazing at a treasure mountain.

A single iron wire, once in the cultivation world, could actually cut through iron like mud.

What changes would other things from the real world undergo in the cultivation world?

"I still need to see if this iron wire can be refined into a magical artifact in the cultivation world."

"If it can, then Qingxuan Sect's resource problem..."

He Zhi's heart surged with excitement.

However, he remained cautious.

Although the iron wire was enhanced in the cultivation world.

Whether this enhancement could be utilized by others was still unknown.

It still needed verification.

He Zhi thought for a moment, then pulled out a small portion from the coil of wire—about a hundred or so strands.

Then he moved his perspective to the entrance of the Elder Hall, reached in, and placed these iron wires on the offering table.

Then, he quietly waited for changes.

"Hmm?"

In the alchemy room, the Sect Master was sweating profusely while refining flying swords.

At this moment, he suddenly frowned, as if discovering something.

His cultivation was the highest, his divine sense the strongest.

Even while refining flying swords, his divine sense constantly monitored the movements at the Elder Hall.

So when a bundle of iron wire appeared on the offering table at the entrance of the Elder Hall, the Sect Master immediately noticed.

"Senior Brother Sect Master, what's wrong?"

Yan Yu and the others nearby asked curiously.

"At the entrance of the Elder Hall, something seems to have appeared."

"Come, let's go see!"

The Sect Master seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly flew out of the alchemy room.

"Senior Brother Sect Master..."

Seeing this, the others knew something major had happened. Not caring that the flying sword was only half-refined, they hurried after him.

A moment later...

The Sect Master and the others descended at the entrance of the Elder Hall.

At a glance, they saw that on the offering table at the entrance of the Elder Hall, there appeared a bundle of...

Iron wire?

This bundle of iron wire was dull and unremarkable, seemingly just a small lump of scrap iron that someone had placed on the offering table.

Yan Yu and the other Foundation Establishment powerhouses all wore puzzled expressions.

What was special about this thing?

"This... what is this!"

When the Sect Master saw that section of iron wire, his heart surged with excitement.

He reached out with trembling hands to take the iron wire.

However...

Hiss!

The Sect Master immediately withdrew his hand.

Just now, in his excitement, his arm had trembled unsteadily, and he accidentally got cut by the iron wire—a huge gash, deep enough to see bone!

At the same time, the Sect Master's blood on the iron wire seemed to be absorbed into it, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its dull appearance.

The Sect Master raised his hand again and released a strand of magic power, bombarding the iron wire.

That strand of magic power was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly absorbed without a trace.

"I'm at Late Foundation Establishment Stage with powerful defense, yet I was cut by a section of iron wire! And it can actually absorb blood and magic power?"

"This is... Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence! It must be Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence! And there are so many strands!"

Looking at his blood-drenched hand, the Sect Master wasn't alarmed but delighted, laughing heartily.

"What, Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence? The kind where a small strand can refine a high-grade flying sword?"

"With this many, wouldn't that be over a hundred high-grade magical artifact flying swords?"

Hearing this, Yan Yu and the others immediately understood why the Sect Master was so excited, and they too were both shocked and delighted.

They had heard that near some spirit stone veins, there might be iron ore.

Those iron ores, soaked in spiritual energy over time, would produce Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence.

This was a precious artifact refining material, incredibly sharp, very suitable for refining flying swords.

Although Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence looked unremarkable on the outside, just a small strand was enough for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to refine a high-grade flying sword that could be used all the way to Core Formation Stage.

As long as there was enough Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence, even Core Formation Stage treasure flying swords could be refined.

This small bundle of Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence was enough to give everyone in Qingxuan Sect a high-grade magical artifact flying sword.

This solved their urgent problem—how could they not be delighted?

"Senior Brother Sect Master, how did Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence appear at the entrance of the Elder Hall?"

"Could it be..."

Yan Yu and the others were now breathing rapidly, having already guessed something.

"Just now, my divine sense detected this thing suddenly appearing on the offering table, so I hurried to check!"

"This kind of invisible, formless method—only the Grand Elder possesses it!"

"It must be the Grand Elder! Seeing that our Qingxuan Sect is too impoverished, unable to even gather materials for the sword formation, he bestowed upon us Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence!"

"Thank you for the Grand Elder's generous gift! This disciple will certainly make good use of this Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence, strengthen the disciples' abilities, develop the sect, and will not disappoint the Grand Elder!"

The Sect Master immediately declared, certain that this was a gift from the Grand Elder.

At this moment, he was as excited as a child.

Actually, the Sect Master was so happy not just because of the Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence.

Although the iron essence was precious, it wouldn't make the usually calm him this excited.

What truly excited the Sect Master was that the mysterious Grand Elder had actually bestowed treasures.

Although the mysterious Grand Elder accepted offerings, he had always remained silent, and the Sect Master and others couldn't figure out what the Grand Elder's attitude was.

But now, the Grand Elder had bestowed treasures—such precious Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence at that.

This meant that the mysterious Grand Elder truly regarded Qingxuan Sect as his own sect and wanted to cultivate it wholeheartedly.

The significance of this was immense.

With the mysterious Grand Elder's strong support, Qingxuan Sect no longer needed to worry about threats from petty forces like Blood Yin Sect and could focus on development.

How could the Sect Master not be happy?

"What? It's really the Grand Elder?"

"Thank you for the Grand Elder's generous gift!"

Yan Yu and the other Foundation Establishment powerhouses also wore expressions of joy.

They naturally understood the significance of the Grand Elder bestowing treasures this time.

"Sect Master, Master, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Jiang Rong and other disciples heard the commotion and came to investigate.

"Rong'er, and you other young juniors! Come quickly and see—the Grand Elder has bestowed Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence. From now on, you'll each have a high-grade flying sword! Form sword formations, and your strength will greatly increase!"

The Sect Master pointed at the iron wire on the offering table and spoke to Jiang Rong and the others.

"What? Everyone gets a high-grade flying sword magical artifact?"

"Thank you for the Grand Elder's generous gift, thank you for the Grand Elder's generous gift!"

The disciples were also overjoyed and bowed repeatedly toward the Elder Hall in gratitude.

Everyone getting a high-grade flying sword—what kind of concept was that?

This level of magical artifact flying sword was generally only qualified to be possessed by those who had cultivated to Foundation Establishment Stage—incredibly precious.

Qi Refining Stage disciples didn't dare hope for treasures of this level at all.

Now hearing the Sect Master say everyone could have one?

These disciples immediately felt like they'd received a windfall from heaven, feeling somewhat dizzy.

And all of this was the Grand Elder's gift.

Outside the screen, He Zhi watched the Qingxuan Sect members fall into celebration, and a smile appeared on his face as well.

Although the Sect Master hadn't yet refined the iron wire into flying swords, having cultivated for many years, if he said the iron wire was Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence, it probably was.

This was also of great significance to He Zhi.

He Zhi couldn't help but imagine—a section of iron wire from the real world, when placed in the cultivation world, could become precious Ten-Thousand-Year Iron Essence.

What about refined steel from the real world? Various alloys?

Precious metals like gold?

And various other materials and items?

What would they be enhanced into in the cultivation world?

The possibilities were too numerous, awaiting further verification.

But it could be anticipated that once He Zhi's experiments succeeded, Qingxuan Sect would no longer lack cultivation resources and could develop and grow with peace of mind.

With their offerings, He Zhi's cultivation path would naturally become smooth as well...
