The final negotiation turned out perfectly, with Ouyang Bai obtaining celestial materials from Liang Yi to forge that bright Immortal Sword's sword embryo, while Liang Yi would own the Immortal Sword.

One could fulfill the greatest wish of their lifetime, and the other would also obtain what they desired.

"Then, please give me a drop of your essence blood. When we reach the final step of forging, I will drip the blood into the sword, so that the Immortal Sword will naturally consider you its master," Ouyang Bai joyfully put away the treasures that Liang Yi had taken out and finally asked Liang Yi for the last thing.

"Junior Sister, give a drop of your essence blood to Senior Ouyang," however, at this moment, Liang Yi suddenly turned to Su Youyi and said with a smile to his junior sister.

"Huh?" Su Youyi was momentarily bewildered. Could it be that the purpose of the materials painstakingly collected by her senior brother was to gift her this unborn First-grade Immortal Sword?

Su Youyi looked at Liang Yi in a fluster, not knowing what to do, seeking confirmation from her senior brother that what he said was true.

"Dummy, if I'm not gifting it to you, then to whom should I give it?" Liang Yi gently stroked Su Youyi's nose, his eyes and brows filled with laughter, his tone tender.

"Have you forgotten what day it is in a few days?"

"In a few days?" Su Youyi propped her head, pondering hard, and then suddenly her eyes lit up. "It's been a year since that incident!"

Su Youyi suddenly remembered the incident, the time when her relationship with her senior brother truly changed.

"Right, it just so happens that your Spirit Sword can no longer keep up with your pace, so I will gift you this unborn Immortal Sword from Senior Ouyang as a present," Liang Yi said with deep affection. The junior sister might not feel anything, but for him, it was indeed a very important day.

"Senior Brother..." Su Youyi's voice was slightly choked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

A First-grade Immortal Sword was a Magical Treasure that anyone would cherish more than life itself, yet her senior brother simply gifted it to her.

But more than the Immortal Sword, what moved Su Youyi was the importance her senior brother placed on every little moment of their past. That was what touched the softest spot in her heart.

Suddenly, Liang Yi felt his arms grow heavier, looking helplessly at the Su Youyi who had thrown herself into his embrace.

"Click, click," Ouyang Bai stood aside, clicking his tongue. He has only ever loved the art of sword forging in his life and had no interest in romantic entanglements, naturally not understanding the situation between Liang Yi and his junior sister.

He had heard countless tales of love between Daoist couples and had forged numerous love-related Magical Treasures, but Ouyang Bai, who had never really experienced it, didn't quite understand these things.

As for who the owner of the Immortal Sword was, he didn't really care. What he valued was the process of forging, not the result of it—even if the forging failed, there was still valuable experience to be gained.

"By the way, Senior Ouyang, can you repair this damaged sword?" Liang Yi had a sudden thought and took out Yuan Zhou, which had been in his backpack, along with a bottle of Moonlight Spiritual Liquid given to him by the Purple Cloud Sect.

"Whoa, this sword is really tough," Ouyang Bai's eyes widened the moment he saw Yuan Zhou, surprised that a sword so utterly damaged inside and out could still not "die."

"At its peak, this sword was at least a First-grade Immortal Sword and could be considered outstanding even among First-grade Immortal Swords," Ouyang Bai took Yuan Zhou and touched the scabbard and blade as if caressing a lover.

"You, young man, are really lucky," Ouyang Bai said to Liang Yi with a smile after sufficiently indulging in handling the sword.

"How so, Senior?" Liang Yi asked curiously.

"Without the Shu Yue Spiritual Liquid, even I can only slightly delay its self-shattering. But with only the Shu Yue Spiritual Liquid, there's no way to fully repair this Immortal's sword; even I am not capable of that."

"But once I forge my own Immortal Sword, my skills will break through to another level, and then I will have the opportunity to completely repair this sword," said Ouyang Bai confidently.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi were both overjoyed upon hearing this, after all, Yuan Zhou was once the companion sword of a Sword Immortal.

"Then we'll have to trouble Senior Ouyang."

Afterward, Su Youyi's drop of essence blood was collected in a special container, Su Youyi, Liang Yi, and Uncle Orange were promptly kicked out of the decrepit little house.

Liang Yi was not worried that the crude casting equipment here would lead to Ouyang Bai's failure. After all, Ouyang Bai, fearing to miss the opportunity, was carrying a complete set of forging gear with him, ready for use at any time.

Returning to their residence in Qingliang City, Liang Yi utilized the Little Bamboo House to acquire information about the Mystical Mechanism Continent and to find out about the players' news through the player forums.

And also, by using Communication Talismans, he was constantly adjusting the strategies and policies of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Now, with every minute and second, Liang Yi's experience was soaring, which meant he could continue to make breakthroughs in a very short period of time.

During the wait for Elder Ouyang Bai, Liang Yi and Su Youyi settled down to meditate for a few days.

Utilizing the time spent in seclusion, Liang Yi directly upgraded major cultivation techniques and Daoist skills, such as Endless Dao and Immaculate Sword Technique, to the terrifying level of the seventh layer.

Such a tremendous consumption depleted Liang Yi's reserves instantly, and his experience points became as clean as his face.

"It looks like I have to slow down the upgrades." Liang Yi exhaled slowly, he could now effortlessly defeat Fifth Realm Cultivators, including those true inheritors from Super Forces, whom Liang Yi has now overtaken by taking a shortcut.

Suddenly, Liang Yi sensed something unusual.

Ouyang Bai, with fevered excitement, gazed at the Immortal Sword in his hands. Only one last hammer strike was needed! The Forging Laws within him were boiling, roaring!

The Immortal Sword was already showing signs of sentience, emanating Sword Qi from an incomplete forging, sharp and unmatched.

Ouyang Bai contained his excitement and slowly poured Su Youyi's drop of essence blood into the handle of the sword, as a garnish resembling a ruby.

Contrary to Ouyang Bai's expectation, the sword, infantile as it was, quickly accepted Su Youyi's essence blood.

"Clang!" A sword cry echoed between heaven and earth, spreading from Qingliang City and only diminishing after reaching over half of the Xuanzhou Continent.

Numerous players looked up in astonishment, because after they heard this sound, a permanent buff was added to their mission panels.

[Sword Immortal Sword Birth Listener]: Permanently reduces the experience required to cultivate sword techniques by ten percent.

This buff made all players of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool ecstatic; isn't this a buff specifically tailored for them?

That towering pillar of light could be seen by everyone in Qingliang City, all players thought that this might be the birthplace of the Immortal Sword, if not now, when else to go?
