[But along with it, you also discovered that you had overlooked the side effects of losing Essence Blood!]
[For any cultivator of any realm, Essence Blood is extremely important.]
[Losing Essence Blood, at the least results in damage to the spirit, requiring a long recuperation; at worst, it causes a fall in Cultivation Level and can even damage the foundation!]
[And using the Blood Sacrifice on the sword, the required amount of Essence Blood clearly exceeded your expectations...]
[Your Qi Refining Cultivation plummeted from the Peak of the Fourth Layer of True Immortal, falling to the Middle Phase of the Fourth Layer... and eventually further falling to the Peak of the Third Layer of True Immortal!]
[Just as you were about to lose resistance, the Ink Ice Sword emitted a light hum!]
[Simultaneously, the quality of the Ink Ice Sword moved up a grade!]
[Congratulations, you've successfully refined a medium-grade Acquired Treasure!]
