《Sword Immortal's Rebirth》Chapter 32: Skytemper
Advertisement
After Heifeng Jiansui received the message from his Sword Talisman, he immediately hightailed it to the mobile manor. Outside, the five maids were furiously training their battle formation. After all, tomorrow would be the day that they would embark on their first hunt!
After sneaking inside the manor, he immediately picked up the messenger sword carrying the rewards for his mission. Along with a few pills, manuals and rare materials that he had requested, the most important reward was the Ice-Fire Divine Forging Art manual!
Heifeng Jiansui immediately began reading the book from the beginning. From the start where Common Rank items were being forged, to Mortal, Spiritual, Quasi-Earth and True Earth Rank items, Heifeng Jiansui read the manual from start to finish!
The manual he had obtained was incomplete without even the Dao Engravings, so he realized quite a few mistakes and difficulties he made while interpreting the manual. From the beginning to the end, the manual was concise and complete, forming a new system of forging! Not only that, but training in it would actually help refine the bloodline density!
Back then, Heifeng Jiansui tried many techniques from the incomplete manual to raise his bloodline density, but it was completely useless. But now, he found out that it wasn’t a lie, this technique was actually capable of boosting bloodlines!
“This technique requires Ice and Fire to come together, spirit and body to act in accordance, causing them both to burst forth with vigor. It is quite similar to a dual-cultivation art in that way. Thus, if I have Ninebless to help me control the Ice, she gain increments to her spirit and soul, while I controlling fire, would have my physique and bloodline refined. It doesn’t even conflict with the spirit cultivation art I gave her earlier and even complements it! She definitely won’t refuse.” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui read through the rest of the manual before going through it again.

The final page of the manual was signed by a ‘Skytemper’. This would be the pen-name of a famous refiner. Heifeng Jiansui entered his mental library for a moment to remember a vague memory about the man.
“Skytemper was the greatest auxiliary master of the new era. He was the first to refine a Heaven Rank weapon, and his auxiliary techniques reigned supreme for a million years. However, he reached a bottleneck in cultivation and never broke through. On his deathbed, not wanting his legacy to be lost, he bound all his memories and techniques into an inheritance.” The man had died three years before Heifeng Jiansui’s death! He was a true talent, and his legacy would be hard for any successor to carry on!
‘If I get the chance, I should try to pursue that legacy.’ However, all information about that legacy was restricted to his disciples. Since one of his disciples was a Phoenix cultivator in the Fire Supreme World, Heifeng Jiansui decided to pursue that lead after he became the official crown prince.
After finishing the manual, Heifeng Jiansui sent back the messenger sword and returned to the Spirit Spring which were his temporary forging quarters.
It was time for the 500 year old spirit to learn new tricks!

“…Heh, we finally made one low-grade Common Rank blade together. It seems like teaching old dogs new tricks isn’t impossible.” Heifeng Jiansui smiled at Ninebless’ outraged expression.
“Who are you calling an old dog?! I am only 500 years old! And I made significant progress! Learning forging is too difficult!” At the old spirit’s complaints, Heifeng Jiansui simply laughed.
“Haha, this two year old before you is Mortal Auxiliary Master, how hard can forging be anyway? And remember, what you are doing isn’t forging, you are simply channeling Ice energy for me to manipulate. If I began training this manual in earnest, it wouldn’t take too long for me to forge all those Quasi-Earth formation linchpins for you, but I am giving you a chance to cultivate yourself as well! Be grateful!” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui finished admonishing the formation spirit.

“While I admit that my help wasn’t need with most of the forging, you don’t have to be so arrogant… Thank you for your help anyway. This is going to take longer now…” The formation spirit had a worried expression on her face.
“I am mostly free for the next 5 years. I think we’ll easily get it done in that time.” While the Ice-Fire Divine Forging art could refine Quasi-Earth equipment like frying beans, Ninebless was simply too incompetent!
“Well then, I will leave for now. My maids are going on their first hunt tomorrow, so I need to see everything~.” Saying this, Heifeng Jiansui left for the night.

In the mobile estate’s dining room, breakfast was being feasted on by Heifeng Jiansui’s maids. After finishing, Qinglan Weiwei who was acting as their unofficial leader began speaking.
“As the young master said, today our supply of food has been exhausted. The young master has granted up a map of the surroundings, so we can rely on it to hunt down wild beasts while not crossing ferocious beasts. The young master is still within seclusion but he will certainly be displeased when he realizes that there is no breakfast tomorrow! You all, pick up your weapons and do some light exercise before setting off!” Qinglan Weiwei’s commands were heeded by all the girls. Due to her strength, skill as a cook and her age, her leadership was accepted by all.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
