In a quiet room within Hongyan Temple, Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on a cushion, his gaze fixed on a talisman floating before him. He repeatedly exhaled spiritual energy, causing the talisman to tremble gently and emit a light akin to a candle. When the brightness grew even stronger, he extended his hand and retrieved a ball of white light from his sleeve bag.
He had examined this item earlier and understood it well. Inside was an essence formed from the Earth Vein Five Metal Qi, fused into a small piece of Star Fallen Iron by some unknown hand. The method seemed intended to nurture a high-quality sword ball.
If refined repeatedly with True Fire, and placed atop a high platform to daily absorb Sun and Moon Essence Qi while being tempered by Gang Wind, over the course of centuries, it might indeed become an extraordinary sword ball.
