After the sword body receives the ownerless soul, the next step is arduous cultivation.
Where there is a spirit, there must be flesh. To condense a sword embryo, it must rely on the sword spirit within the sword body and the master's essence blood.
The amount of sword spirit depends on the grade of the immortal sword.
Leng Qingqiu's Ruthless Sword was a good sword, but after it broke, it was completely destroyed. She now uses a relatively ordinary immortal sword,
and the quality of this immortal sword is not as good as the Ruthless Sword, so the sword spirit within is relatively less. Therefore, condensating the sword embryo requires more of the master's essence blood.
Wang Xiaoqiang's Penglai Immortal Sword is an exceptionally good sword, with a higher grade than the immortal sword Leng Qingqiu currently uses. The sword spirit within is more plentiful, so he expends somewhat less essence blood when cultivating sword spirit.
