Chapter 641: The Sacred Gear Eroded by Demon Qi
"Young man, could you let me take a look at the Elf Spring in your hand?" Mohan gazed at the wine jar held in Lingyun's arms, his face full of longing.
The greatest effect of the Elf Spring is its ability to temper the magic and Battle Qi within a person's body. At the same cultivation level, those who possess purer magic and Battle Qi will inevitably possess greater strength. Most importantly, only by possessing purer Battle Qi and magic can one peer into higher realms.
However, the materials for brewing Elf Spring are quite rare, and the difficulty is considerable; even the Spirit Race itself barely has enough for internal consumption, so the amount of Elf Spring that flows into auction houses is extremely scarce. If the Elf Spring brewed in a single year is this rare, let alone one that is a century old. Every time such a thing appears, it inevitably triggers a frantic scramble among the major powers. Even though Mohan is currently the most outstanding blacksmith on the Continent, he has only ever obtained a century-old Elf Spring once.
Lingyun smiled and handed the Elf Spring in his hand to Mohan.
"This bottle of Elf Spring can be considered a greeting gift from me to Master Mohan."
"A greeting gift? This, this is too precious." Mohan felt his hands trembling.
"Mohan, who are these people?" Just at this moment, several figures appeared beside Mohan.
"These few are the benefactors of my Dwarf Race." Mohan quickly tucked the wine jar into his Space Ring, then turned around to introduce them to the others.
"Benefactors of the Dwarf Race?" The gazes of the others toward Lingyun and his group held a bit more astonishment.
To be called a benefactor by the Dwarf Race is not an easy thing.
"Mr. Lingyun, I wonder what business you have coming here to find this old man?" After accepting the Elf Spring, the look in Mohan's eyes toward Lingyun softened quite a bit. "If you are looking to forge equipment, this old man can provide the materials myself and forge a piece of Heaven Domain Peak equipment for you."
Lingyun shook his head slightly: "It is not like that; it is just that I heard the Light Church wanted to invite Master Mohan to help them repair a Sacred Gear. I am quite interested in this matter, so I came to ask about it."
"The Light Church, repairing a Sacred Gear?" Mohan raised his eyebrows slightly, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Mr. Lingyun, only after I took on the job did I realize it was a bitter task. I invited several good friends to discuss it here for several days, but we haven't come up with any useful methods."
"Oh? There is actually such a thing? But I remember that you, Master Mohan, have already reached the peak of a Heavenly Domain Blacksmith. If it were just repairing a Sacred Gear, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Lingyun asked with a frown.
"It's not that easy. Forget it, Mr. Lingyun, come with me and you will know." Master Mohan shook his head, then led Lingyun toward the courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, a Knight Sword was stuck in the ground. The Knight Sword shimmered with brilliance, inlaid with various colored gemstones on the hilt and carved with intricate patterns, looking extremely luxurious. At first glance, this sword looked more like a decoration or a ceremonial sword rather than a weapon used for combat.
But if you look closely, you will find that the gemstones inlaid on the hilt are all magic stones containing powerful magic, and those intricate patterns are the Array Patterns of a Magic Array. The shimmering blade is actually cast from rare Light Iron, which not only possesses the power to cut through iron like mud but also significantly amplifies the effects of light-element attacks. A person at the Tianyu-chuji level holding this Knight Sword could even contend with an existence at the Heaven Domain Peak—of course, this is assuming the sword is in its prime.
"This is a Sacred Gear." Lingyun looked at the Knight Sword, unable to help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right, this Knight Sword is a Sacred Gear, but for some reason, this Sacred Gear has suffered damage, its power greatly reduced, to the point where it can't even compare to some top-tier Heaven Domain Knight Swords." Mohan said with a frown.
"The power of a Sacred Gear has dropped to the point where it can't even compare to a Heaven Domain Knight Sword?" Lingyun frowned and walked up to the Knight Sword.
"That's right. We conducted a detailed inspection of this Knight Sword and discovered a force lurking extremely deep within the sword, but we cannot determine what this force is. If we want to forcibly drive that force out, it will inevitably destroy the internal structure of the Knight Sword, and at that point, this Sacred Gear will be no different from being ruined." Mohan said with a frown.
"There is actually such a thing?" Lingyun approached the Knight Sword and began to observe it carefully.
"Hmm? What is this?" Lingyun looked at the Knight Sword in front of him and frowned.
"What is it, Mr. Lingyun? Could it be that you have made a discovery?" The look in Mohan's eyes toward Lingyun held a hint of pleasant surprise.
Lingyun raised both hands, and the Purification Light and Red Lotus Karmic Fire appeared simultaneously, with a Double Domain enveloping the Knight Sword at the same time.
The moment this Double Domain appeared, several Heavenly Domain Blacksmiths present had their expressions change slightly and could not help but take a step back; this Double Domain actually made them feel a fatal crisis.
Under the shroud of the Double Domain, wisps of purple traces began to emerge on the blade of the Knight Sword.
Upon seeing these purple traces, a look of disbelief appeared on Mohan's face.
"This, this is... Demon Qi? How could there be Demon Qi in this Knight Sword?" Mohan could not help but exclaim aloud.
"Demon Qi?"
The others present were also given a big fright. With their strength having reached such a realm, they were naturally no strangers to things like Demon Qi. But now that traces of Demon Qi had appeared in a Sacred Gear of the Light Church, they could not help but be horrified.
"During the Millennium Holy War, the Light Church was also a major force in resisting the Demon World. Now that Demon Qi has appeared in the Sacred Gear they possess, this is a major event!" Mohan said with a grave face.
"Break!" Lingyun gave a cold snort, and the Double Domain acted simultaneously on the Demon Qi being forced out of the Knight Sword. How could the wisps of Demon Qi being forced out withstand this dual suppression? They were completely scattered in an instant.
After the Demon Qi dissipated, the Knight Sword suddenly emitted a hum, and a powerful aura emanated from the blade, truly displaying the might that only a Sacred Gear possesses.
"The Demon Qi has been completely purged." Lingyun withdrew his hands, and the Double Domain in front of him slowly dissipated. "The reason this Knight Sword became like this is because it was eroded by Demon Qi. The Demon Qi that eroded the Knight Sword mixed with the light energy within the sword, forming a strange kind of energy, which is the reason for your misjudgment."
"Mr. Lingyun is truly extraordinary." Mohan looked at the Knight Sword before him, a hint of joy in his eyes. "I wonder if Mr. Lingyun could grant this old man a request?"
"What request does Master Mohan have? You might as well say it and let me hear it." Lingyun asked.
"This... in fact, in the Light Church, it is not just this one Sacred Gear that has encountered this situation. The Light Church has also long been secretly looking for a way to solve this matter, but it has never been resolved. This time, the fact that this Sacred Gear could be restored is entirely due to Mr. Lingyun's ability. I have an uninvited request; I wonder if you could go with us to the Light Holy City to solve the problems of the other Sacred Gears." Mohan asked with a sincere face.
Lingyun pondered for a while and nodded slightly. It just so happened that they were going to the Light Holy City anyway, as the Holy Church was located in that place. Moreover, with this reason, perhaps they could even enter the Holy Church once, as many of the Light Church's Sacred Gears were stored within the Holy Church.
Seeing Lingyun nod, the people present could not help but show a hint of joy on their faces. If Lingyun could really solve the problem of the Light Church's Sacred Gears, they would also be able to gain no small benefits.
"Mr. Lingyun, then when shall we set off?" Mohan asked.
"We just arrived in Sain, so let's rest for a day first and set off tomorrow." Lingyun said.
"Good, we will respectfully await your arrival here tomorrow, sir." Mohan said.
