Ning Dongge examined the Golden Sword that flew back into its scabbard: "Junior Brother, this sword of yours is quite unusual."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It is forged from Undying Golden Essence, and further strengthened through the Sacrificial Refining Method."
"This path is correct," Ning Dongge said, "but the chances of success are very slim, and in the end, it might all be in vain."
"A slight mistake, and everything could be lost," Zhang Ji Yuan agreed.
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and asked, "Have both of you tried this method?"
He understood the implications of their words.
Both nodded.
Ning Dongge said, "I once nurtured a sword too, but unfortunately, it was ruined."
"Me too," Zhang Ji Yuan said.
Chu Zhiyuan was curious.
"After all, nurturing a sword is not easy," Ning Dongge said, "especially later on, when it often can't keep pace with cultivation and becomes a burden."
Zhang Ji Yuan said, "Unless your sword is always stronger than you, which is very difficult."
