Chapter 1801: Chapter 1797: The First Drop of Blood

Fire Spirit Child observed the changes in Shen Luo’s expression and knew Shen Luo understood it now, but immediately poured cold water on him.

"Don’t get too excited just yet. The spirit in the Yan Sui Fire Crystal has only begun to have a consciousness; it hasn’t truly formed yet. Whether it can break through that boundary to become a true tool spirit depends on fate," Fire Spirit Child said.

"Even the slightest chance is enough to bring joy." Shen Luo looked at the Yan Sui Fire Crystal as if a landlord gazing at a chicken that laid golden eggs for him, his face full of affection.

"Then should it still be used for refining swords?" Fire Spirit Child asked.

"No need, no need..." Shen Luo shook his head repeatedly.

For refining swords, you can basically just use Ten Thousand Years Fire Qilin Wood, but sword spirits are rare treasures.

"Since you won’t be refining swords, I have a method. You can try nurturing the Yan Sui Fire Spirit," Fire Spirit Child suggested.

"Please teach me, Daoist friend." Shen Luo immediately responded.

Fire Spirit Child glanced at him and slowly said, "The Yan Sui Fire Crystal has been nurturing itself over ten thousand years. From an energy standpoint, it’s already sufficient. What is lacking is that touch of spirit transformation, and you need to help accomplish that."

"How?" Shen Luo frowned.

"Communicate with it," Fire Spirit Child replied.

"How to communicate? Do you mean I should talk to it or use divine soul exchange? But it doesn’t have the ability to communicate yet," Shen Luo asked, surprised.

"If it had that ability, you wouldn’t need to transform it. I mean, every seven days, you should spend an hour to refine a drop of your heart’s blood, then infuse your divine soul into it. Use the True Solar Fire from the Pure Yang Flying Sword to merge it into the Yan Sui Fire Crystal," Fire Spirit Child continued.

"Will that work?" Shen Luo asked in doubt.

"Cold doesn’t freeze in just one day, nor is this something that can be completed overnight. You might need to spend ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years to succeed," Fire Spirit Child replied.

"If it’s just one drop of heart’s blood every seven days, that’s fine. How will I know it has succeeded?" Shen Luo continued to ask.

"Once you can feel its response, success is not far away. This method is slow and uncertain, but if it succeeds, the spirits will have a strong bond with you, making it easy and without resistance to refine them into sword spirits," Fire Spirit Child explained.

"Them? The spirits? Fire Daoist friend, are you saying more than one Yan Sui Fire Spirit could emerge?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"The shape of the Yan Sui Fire Crystal depends on fate. This piece resembles a lotus platform, with fifteen petals, and it’s highly likely to produce up to fifteen spirits. However, it’s also possible only one will emerge, and that depends on your fortune," Fire Spirit Child slowly explained.

"Even if there’s only one, it’ll be good." Shen Luo nodded with pleasure upon hearing this.

After saying this, he was about to try it immediately.

"Alright, give it a try. I’ll assist from the side and help stabilize this Yan Sui Fire Crystal. It’s still quite unstable now," Fire Spirit Child thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you."

Shen Luo clasped his fists to thank him, immediately sat cross-legged, and began to gather his heart’s blood calmly.

About half a moment passed, Shen Luo raised his right hand with two fingers, while a drop of golden blood slowly gathered at the tip of his forefinger—it was his heart’s blood.

"It’s ready. Send it over," Fire Spirit Child reminded him, watching from the side.

Shen Luo flicked his finger lightly, and the drop of golden-red heart’s blood shot forth, passing through the Formation of the Gu Xuan star disk, landing upon the Yan Sui Fire Crystal with a "clink."

A "hiss" was heard, as green smoke rose from the golden blood, which instantly penetrated the Yan Sui Fire Crystal, and then no reaction followed.

"That’s all?" Shen Luo asked, surprised.

"Use the True Solar Fire to burn it a bit," Fire Spirit Child quickly suggested.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo, with a thought, made the Pure Yang Flying Sword supporting the Yan Sui Fire Crystal erupt in a golden flame, enveloping the entire red lotus platform.

In the golden flames, the blood not only wasn’t obscured but appeared even more conspicuous, and the Yan Sui Fire Crystal became transparent in the firelight.

Shen Luo could even see with the naked eye a cluster of crimson flames gently swaying within the Yan Sui Fire Crystal, gradually engulfing his heart’s blood.

In an instant, the golden blood vanished completely, yet the flames swayed even more energetically, seemingly joyous.

Yet soon, the flames dimmed down, and the entire Yan Sui Fire Crystal gradually lost its transparency, though the True Solar Fire continued to burn it.

After a while, Shen Luo felt it was futile and withdrew the True Solar Fire.

"Don’t be disheartened. It wasn’t meant to succeed in one go. Just nurture it slowly," Fire Spirit Child consoled upon seeing this.

"That’s all I can do." Shen Luo hadn’t hoped for immediate success anyway and nodded.

Just then, Fire Spirit Child’s expression suddenly changed, staring intently at the red lotus platform.

Shen Luo immediately tensed up, gazing toward it.

"Isn’t this interesting?" Fire Spirit Child suddenly grinned, with undisguised joy.

"What’s the matter?" Shen Luo asked, still somewhat confused.

"You’re really lucky. Just absorbing a drop of your heart’s blood, the Yan Sui Fire Crystal stabilized," Fire Spirit Child said, waving his hand to dispel the Forbidden magic array of the Gu Xuan star disk.

Exposed outside, the Yan Sui Fire Crystal remained unchanged, without any Spiritual Power Fluctuations spilling out.

"I was worried I’d have to constantly control the Gu Xuan star disk to stabilize it. Didn’t expect it to calm itself. This suggests the spirit’s spirituality is quite strong. I believe it won’t take long to produce a genuine tool spirit," Fire Spirit Child said happily.

Shen Luo felt joy upon hearing this, immediately waved his hand to collect all the Pure Yang Flying Swords, then summoned the Yan Sui Fire Crystal into his hand, cautiously touching it.

The Yan Sui Fire Crystal emitted a warmth that wasn’t scalding, indeed much more stable now.

"Alright, keep it with you; refine a drop of heart’s blood into it every seven days," Fire Spirit Child advised.

"I won’t forget," Shen Luo nodded, putting the Yan Sui Fire Crystal away.

Seeing he didn’t need to assist anymore, Fire Spirit Child waved his hand and returned to the Free and Easy Mirror.

Shen Luo sat at the table for a while, flipped his hand to take out the Ancestral Dragon Horns, placing it on the table for closer examination.

The Horns were deep red, with ancient tree-like patterns, not looking very conspicuous, yet it undeniably held a faint aura of the Dragon Clan. Perhaps suppressed by some seal, it appeared very weak.

Shen Luo attempted to channel Mana into it, but no reaction occurred, so he gave up.

He planned to take it to Eastern Sea next time, handing it to Ao Hong, as the residual soul of the Ancestral Dragon within him could surely unravel its mysteries.

But no matter how much research now, it’s probably useless.
