There's Something Wrong With This Account

Lu Xun entered the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, he was transported into a secret room.

The secret room was not large, in it, apart from the Undying Fire, there was nothing else.

Lu Xun, holding a sword sheath, looked at the Undying Fire with some curiosity.

He hadn’t come to the place called “Moon in the Well” in his past life, so, he had only seen photos and videos of the Undying Fire on forums.

There weren’t many posts about it because not many players could pass through “Moon in the Well”.

The Sword Mountain Elder was after all the Sword Mountain Elder. The sword intent left behind at the third barrier, even if it was an eased Crescent Moon Sword Intent, was not something an average professional player could handle.

The Undying Fire was amongst the bizarre things that defied natural laws, such items were the most precious treasures.

Amongst these bizarre objects, the Undying Fire was quite popular.

The reason was simple… this fire was somewhat interesting.

Playful gamers usually wouldn’t call it “Undying Fire”, because this name felt a bit tacky.

They preferred to call it “the Rich Woman’s Happy Fire”.

Or… “the Joy of Fire”!

Lu Xun looked ahead, seeing it floating in the air, burning in a peculiar manner.

It would not go out, nor would it spread.

It had no temperature and it was harmless to the human body.

Its manner of burning was twinkling. It was a ball of flame that suddenly enlarged, then shrank, then enlarged, then shrank again…

It felt like it was trembling.

At the same time, its color was constantly changing.

Sometimes it was red, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes green…

The ever-changing colors along with the twinkling gave off a sensation as if one was in a disco club.

And let’s not lie, its twinkling was very rhythmic.

Because of this, many players in their videos related to the Undying Fire, would edit in a shadow of a person raving and shaking their hair, along with floor-filling type background music.

Surprisingly, it didn’t feel out of place…

Lu Xun at this moment, seeing this Undying Fire with his own eyes, also felt the same way.

He thought that if there was a crowd of men and women raving around it in this secret room, it would probably be quite exciting.

As he approached, he murmured to himself, “There really is no heat.”

He didn’t feel any heat waves coming. It was as if the flames in front of his eyes were just an illusion.

Meanwhile, this merry-looking fire actually had no spirituality, let alone spiritual wisdom.

At this moment, Lu Xun heard a voice transmission, it was from Ping Shanhai.

“Young friend Lu, you just need to use your spiritual power to control your magical weapon and put it in the Undying Fire for refining.”

“There is no need to use any artifact refining techniques, any refining methods are ineffective against it.”

On hearing this, Lu Xun nodded and said, “Thanks, Elder Brother Ping.”

He already knew all this and had even seen other people’s refining videos.

However, this was his first time personally doing it.

He lifted the impatient sword sheath and with a chuckle scolded, “Such in a hurry!”

Then, he cast the sheath in mid-air and used spiritual power to guide it, making it fall right into the center of the Undying Fire.

At this moment, a prompt message appeared before Lu Xun’s eyes: “Refining has begun”.

The moment it fell into the fire, the black rope that was originally hanging on the sword sheath suddenly jerked upwards as the sheath shuddered.

“At least it can’t speak…” Lu Xun mumbled to himself.

He was really afraid that it would make a “squeaking” noise…

He was truly scared that the sheath would emit some inappropriate sounds, which might hurt his image.

Different magic weapons required different times for refining.

Some might be done in an instant, others might take a bit longer.

Lu Xun, utilizing the basic information detection functionality, could see a progress bar in front of his eyes.

The progress bar showed that the current refining progress was 27%.

“Quite speedy.” He mused internally.

Regarding how much the Sword Sheath would eventually upgrade, Lu Xun was actually rather curious.

After all, it had swallowed a Yin Bead and absorbed the energy from a green pearl, indirectly gaining a number of enhancements.

It should have seen some progress by now!

When the progress bar reached 100%, mysterious black rays of light erupted from the Sword Sheath, spreading in all directions.

Originally, it had no patterns, just a plain black Sword Sheath with two black cords that held two black pearls at the ends.

Now, its color had slightly changed.

It had a bit of a “matte black” feel to it.

Upon closer inspection, one could see it was adorned with intricate and profound patterns.

Just based on appearance, Lu Xun preferred the Sword Sheath now.

Understated, yet exuding a luxurious feel.

As for the Sword Sheath’s level, it was still at the Intermediate Purple Level and hadn’t been upgraded.

Upgrading a Magical Weapon to the Purple Level was much trickier than Lu Xun had imagined.

“Did my Sword Sheath Maiden just got prettier?” Lu Xun didn’t believe it.

After inspecting the basic attributes, Lu Xun found that the Sword Sheath’s two special skills: Sword Sealing and Gather Qi, had both been enhanced to a certain extent.

The increase was around 10%.

Although it seemed inconsequential, the Sword Sheath’s basic attributes were rather high. After all, it was a Purple Level Magic Weapon made of Mystical Turtle Shell, so this sort of enhancement was actually pretty significant.

Seeing that the refinement was over, Lu Xun immediately signaled the Sword Sheath.

The Sword Sheath understood his intention and started its magnificent performance.

Located in the midst of the Undying Fire, it began to vibrate rapidly, and at the entrance of the Sword Sheath, it produced a significant gravitational pull.

This force was directed at Lu Xun.

For sheath type Magical Weapons, there was one primary attribute necessary: attraction to swords.

Throw a Flying Sword, then the Flying Sword strikes, and finally, the Sword Sheath attracts the Flying Sword, eventually making it return to the sheath.

This was a very picturesque scene.

Therefore, Lu Xun’s Sword Sheath also necessarily has this kind of attribute.

However, it currently has no swords to attract, and no sword inserts into the Sword Sheath. On regular days, it relies on this gravitational pull to absorb the Sword Qi emitted by Lu Xun and stores it within itself to nourish them.

As Lu Xun’s body is now classified as an Intermediate Spiritual Sword, this force of attraction also naturally had an effect on him.

Therefore, in just a brief moment, Lu Xun was enveloped by this power.

“It’s time for my acting test.” He muttered inwardly.

No matter how much he “struggled,” he had no way to break free and instead was moving towards the Sword Sheath in the fire at an incredibly rapid speed!

In the outer chamber, Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi both exclaimed: “This is bad!”

It seemed like there was an issue with Lu Xun’s Magical Weapon during the refining process!

The two of them dashed towards the scene in a flash.

But by the time they arrived inside the hidden room, Lu Xun’s hand had already touched the Sword Sheath.

The Sword Sheath was in the center of the Undying Fire, hence, Lu Xun’s right hand came into contact with the Undying Fire as well.

Although it was said that the Undying Fire was harmless to the human body, according to the rules, it was forbidden to touch.

This was strictly prohibited.

For instance, if you had a very magical ancient relic at home, lending you to use it from a distance is already quite generous. And now, if you wished to pick it up and have a close inspection, touching it with your hands, that was absolutely not allowed!

But the current situation was so bizarre, the Undying Fire which had never had accidents during the refinement process, had an issue now?

At this moment, they didn’t have time to ponder much, Lu Xun’s safety took precedence.

What the two of them didn’t know was that, the moment the right hand of Lu Xun, who was considered an Intermediate Spiritual Sword, touched the Undying Fire, a notification popped up on his screen:

“[Refinement started.]”
