Chapter 1012: It Was Usually a Miracle, But She Managed to Do It! A weapon could only be considered a divine weapon if it contained some form of spirituality, just like Ling Chuxi’s Luo Chen Sword.
Compared to the two steps of smelting and forging, casting a spirit did not require any True Qi. While it was the simplest step, it was also the most difficult.
Only when one’s spiritual power had reached a sufficiently high level to be compatible with the object being forged, then it could possibly be successfully infused with spirituality. Moreover, one had to carry out the infusion as soon as the forging was completed. If the forging was a failure, then there would be no more chances. Without spirituality, no matter how good the quality was, it would only be considered an ordinary weapon, not a divine weapon.

Of course, there were also some swords that would acquire spirituality by chance. However, such an opportunity was hard to come by. As a blacksmith, who would not want to forge a spiritual divine weapon that was in sync with their own heart?
It was said that in ancient times, there was a blacksmith who spent his whole life forging a sword. When the sword was completed, he actually threw himself into the furnace and used his blood essence to forge a sword spirit. It was obvious how difficult it was to cast spirituality into a sword.
Ling Chuxi didn’t think too much at this time. She only focused on performing the Mind Training Chant with her Core of Martial Path to cast her divine consciousness into the Dragon Tooth Dagger.
Ding! The dagger let out a clear sound like a fairy’s voice before emitting a cold light that was as clear as water, enveloping both itself and Ling Chuxi.

In the midst of that melodious sound, Chuxi’s mind ocean trembled indescribably pleasantly.
In the depths of her Qi Ocean, the sealed Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians resonated with the blade. Ripples started to appear, emitting a dreamlike light that further enveloped Ling Chuxi and the dagger.
In terms of spirituality, the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians were formed from the purest spiritual energy in the world. Nothing in the world could compare to it.
The dagger let out a pleasant vibration and floated upwards. Like duckweed in water, it rippled in the waves.

Ling Chuxi could clearly feel that there was something as joyful as a baby’s laughter in the resonance. Although it couldn’t be considered spiritual consciousness, it did have spirituality. In the end, the blade had become a spiritual weapon.
Success! Ling Chuxi didn’t expect that she would be able to forge a spiritual weapon on her first try. This was a miracle that many blacksmiths wouldn’t be able to achieve even if they had sacrificed their lives. Ling Chuxi was so excited that her mind went blank.
Gongxi Kuangdao and the others were completely dumbfounded and shocked their jaws almost fell off. They were so still that they looked like wooden sculptures. Even their eyes didn’t move. “A spiritual weapon? It’s actually a spiritual weapon? How is this possible? How is this possible…” These words circulated their minds as if those were the only vocabulary they had ever known.
After a long while, Ling Chuxi finally calmed down. She thought about it carefully and finally understood that the reason she was able to successfully forge a divine weapon was directly related to her Mind Training Chant and Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians. If it was anyone else, even if they had a Ming Training weapon and Core of Martial Path, how could they have the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians?
However, Ling Chuxi also knew that even so, she could not forge a spiritual weapon every time. What she needed was the perfect opportunity, which she had this time by pure luck.
The light dispersed, and the Dragon Tooth Dagger stopped ringing. It fell out of thin air and actually pierced deeply into a green stone, leaving only the hilt of the dagger exposed as it trembled slightly.
Ling Chuxi turned her head and saw Gongxi Kuangdao and the others drooling while looking dumbstruck. These people were completely dumbfounded—their eyes as wide as copper bells and their gazes in a daze.
