C2374 Rootless Fire

Although the jade artifact Elder hadn't finished speaking, the moment he finished speaking, Tai A, Kun Wu, and Long Cai's faces were filled with longing. They tightly stared at Lin Bai, their eyes nearly bursting with sparks.

However, it was different from their expressions. After hearing his words, Lin Bai could only bitterly smile. He was very clear on the meaning behind the jade artifact elder's words. He was asking Lin Bai if he had any excess materials for refining flying swords and if so, whether he could hand them over to the Sword Pavilion. It was because of this that the expressions of Tai A, Kun Wu and Long Cai were so abnormal.

However, Lin Bai could only apologize towards their longing. This was because the materials that he could take out were all he had. He truly had no way to satisfy the desire in the hearts of Tai A and the rest. However, Lin Bai also understood that the reason why they acted in such a manner was because their sword cultivators yearned to possess their own flying swords. That was why they had such presumptuous thoughts.

"I am truly sorry. This is already all that I have accumulated. Please forgive me for being unable to fulfill your request, jade artifact elder …" After shaking his head apologetically at the jade artifact elder, Lin Bai slowly spoke up, rejecting the jade artifact elder's suggestion.

As these words came out, although the jade artifact Elder looked a bit disappointed, he had already guessed this possibility the moment the words left his mouth. The materials needed to forge a flying sword was simply too astonishing. It was already unbelievable that Lin Bai could produce so much. Wanting him to obtain even more was no different from a fool's dream. His thoughts were actually just wishful thinking.

Furthermore, even if Lin Bai truly had the materials to refine a flying sword, the relationship between the Sword Pavilion and Lin Bai was far from the level of being able to make him offer these materials up for free.

He was glad that Lin Bai did not have enough resources, because if Lin Bai had taken out enough resources, then if he wanted to reach an agreement with Lin Bai, the price he would have to pay would absolutely be unimaginable. It was even possible that he would drag the Sword Pavilion into a quagmire where he would be unable to escape and use Lin Bai's willpower to decide everything.

The dream was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. No matter who it was, this was something that had to be endured in life.

"It's my wishful thinking …" The jade artifact Elder bitterly smiled and shook his head. He once again looked over the list that Lin Bai had drawn up with envy, and slowly said, "Little friend Lin, your preparations are indeed enough to support refining a flying sword. My Sword Pavilion will provide you with the necessary steps and techniques to refine a flying sword. Please rest assured, little friend Lin. "

Lin Bai had done a great favor to the Sword Pavilion by refining these flying swords. Although this was a secret that the Sword Pavilion did not pass on, it was nothing compared to Lin Bai's kindness to the Sword Pavilion. Moreover, the jade artifact elder believed that even if he didn't provide these methods, with Lin Baijian's comprehension of the Great Dao, he would sooner or later find a solution. Since that was the case, why hadn't they formed a good relationship?

"Then I will have to thank the jade artifact elder!" After clasping his hands towards the jade artifact elder and thanking him, he looked at the disappointed expressions of Tai A and the others. He couldn't help but reveal a sly smile as he said, "Everyone, please don't be discouraged. Don't forget, right now in seclusion, this is a great change in this world. With your abilities, who can guarantee that you won't have a fight?"

As soon as he said that, the whole field fell into silence. Tai A, Kun Wu, Long Cai and the others' eyes, which had been extinguished with hope, lit up once again with fire. Their eyes were filled with longing.

They understood, as Lin Bai had said, that the current hidden world was going through a period of integration that hadn't been seen in a thousand years. Within this period of time, all sects would have to reshuffle their cards. This was a chaotic world, an era where people's lives could be easily taken away, but at the same time, in this era, as long as you possessed sufficient strength, you could obtain countless things that you didn't even dare think about before. As long as you were willing to struggle, you would naturally obtain rewards!

In this era, who could be sure that they wouldn't be able to forge a flying sword of their own!

"Then I will be counting on little friend Lin's auspicious words. I hope that my Sword Pavilion will be able to reap some rewards this time!" After the jade artifact Elder heard this, his long and longevity eyebrows trembled, and he smiled at Lin Bai. Although he was done with his words, his words clearly revealed another layer of meaning. And that meaning meant that the Sword Pavilion and Lin Bai had already reached an agreement to advance and retreat together.

"It's not that I'm borrowing my blessings, it's just that I borrowed the Eastwind that is hidden from the world today." Lin Bai smiled faintly and replied. With a wistful look in his eyes, he stared at the jade artifact elder and said, "Elder, please teach me the method of forging flying swords!"

"Come with me." "But as I said, whether or not you can successfully forge the flying sword will depend on your luck, Little Friend Lin!" The jade artifact Elder turned to Lin Bai and made an inviting gesture. Then, he took the lead and entered the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion deserved to be called the sword. The deeper one went into it, the more one could feel the rainbow-like sword aura. This aura was extremely sharp, as if the entire sect was a sharp sword that could break through all the shackles of the world.

However, Lin Bai had never expected that the jade artifact Elder would bring him back into the Sword Tomb when he finally stopped. He didn't quite understand what the jade artifact elder meant. Could it be that the sword crafting method was in the Sword Tomb?

"The people of the world thought that because of the sword forging technique, my Sword Pavilion had endless flying swords. However, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the reason why my Sword Pavilion was able to refine flying swords was not because of some technique, but because of this secret location of my Sword Pavilion!" After walking to a corner of the Sword Tomb Scourge, the jade artifact elder suddenly stopped and turned to face Lin Bai with a mysterious smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the jade artifact elder's finger shot out like lightning toward a nearby rock. As soon as his fingertips came in contact with the rock, an organic clanging sound was emitted from the ground.

And as this voice sounded out, the stones in the middle of the mountain beside the Swordbath began to slowly scatter, revealing a dark cave. And as soon as this cave entrance was revealed, a surge of wild heatwave immediately gushed forth, assaulting the faces of the crowd.

It was an incomparably pure heat that made people feel like all the water vapor in the world would be completely evaporated by the heat waves. As long as anyone or anything entered the cave, they would be burnt to ashes by the raging flames.

Just like what the jade artifact elder had said, this cave was the true secret behind the sword forging process of the Sword Pavilion. The reason why the sword cultivators in the Sword Pavilion were able to forge flying swords was because there was a mysterious fire domain within the cave.

No one knew how this fiery domain had appeared. Before the Sword Pavilion's inheritance was established here, this fiery domain had already existed. Moreover, the flames of this fiery domain had been burning for an unknown amount of time, yet it still hadn't faded in the slightest.

Within the fiery domain, there weren't any mines that could be burned, nor was there magma beneath the ground. Not only that, there wasn't even anything that could support the combustion process. But even so, these external forces were still unable to stop this sea of fire. Only the flames remained. No one knew where the fire domain came from or why it was burning and when it would be extinguished.

Furthermore, the fire in this fiery domain was extremely strange. It did not have the slightest burning effect on a person's body, but it could pass through the body and directly burn the mind and soul.

Therefore, in an era when Sword Tomb was still in the control of Sword Tower's Sword Cultivators, unless there was a need to refine a flying sword, ordinary people would regard this place as a forbidden area and would not dare to approach it.

Although the flame in this place was strange, its effect was even stranger. The flames here seemed to possess some kind of inconceivable strength. With these flames here, forging things didn't need anything like an iron furnace. According to the magical energy in the flames, the impurities could be completely removed, and the items that were refined could be helped to take shape and carve the patterns that they wanted to carve.

This was a truly mysterious place in the Sword Pavilion. There were many mysterious records regarding this place. There were even some people who said that there were creatures that appeared within the flames. But no matter what kind of record it was, it didn't explain the origin of this fiery domain clearly. There were many rumours that only made the veil on its body even more mysterious.

Hidden inheritances were truly extraordinary. This sort of secret location was unimaginable in the mortal world! The rootless flame could burn for thousands of years without any signs of weakness, and it even had this strange ability to remove impurities from artifacts, allowing artifacts to take shape. The seal was a symbol of the dao and principle's engravings, just how mysterious it was.

Listening to the jade artifact elder's words, Lin Bai was secretly speechless, his heart filled with emotion. He really didn't expect that the flying swords of the sword cultivators in the Sword Pavilion would be created by relying on this Fire Domain. It was all due to his previous wishful thinking that even if the Sword Pavilion did not provide him with a way, he might be able to accomplish this with his own strength …

What shocked him even more was the heat emitted by this fiery domain. Right now, Qin Wentian and the rest were merely at the outskirts of the cave, but the heat waves were already blowing towards them. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have already fainted from the heat waves.

He did not dare imagine how terrifying the heat emitted by the rootless flame would be if he were to enter the cave. Furthermore, the continuous casting of the flying sword would require a person to guard it for a long time. Even though Lin Bai's heart was like iron, he wasn't sure if his mind could withstand such a terrifying heat wave after being scorched for such a long period of time.

"To penetrate deep into the fiery domain and forge a flying sword, this sort of matter could only be described as a matter of life or death. Many seniors of my Sword Pavilion have died in this fiery domain before. That's why my opinion of whether or not it would succeed depends on little friend Lin …" The jade artifact Elder glanced at the Fire Domain Cave with a sorrowful expression. Then, he turned to Lin Bai and slowly said, "Little Friend Lin, have you decided?"
