Chapter 21: The first signs of talent
After a while, Old Hu Bai felt that his brain, which had been numbed by the shock, could function normally again, and he immediately said: "Bragging! I can't see it, you brat, your bragging is even better than Hei Lao San, no?" Maybe, I don’t believe it!”
"Try it," Qingshi didn't say much and stretched out his right hand.
"Just try it!" The old man stretched out his right hand to hold the bluestone.
Qingshi silently circulated the Qi, passing the seven attributes of Qi into the old man's body in sequence. The old man felt the transformation of different attributes of Qi, and his face was extremely wonderful.
After a while, Qingshi took back his palm and looked at the old man without saying anything. After a long time passed, the old man finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh.
Qingshi asked: "Old Bai, is there anything wrong?"
"No, no," the old man shook his head repeatedly, "I feel sorry for the master. If I could have met a genius like you earlier, why would there be any need for these assessments, rewards, etc.? Wouldn't it be enough to just accept you as a disciple? "
After finishing speaking, he sighed again, then thought of something, and quickly raised his head and asked Qingshi, "It is certain that you have wind attribute Qi. With all the five elements of Qi, you can naturally practice formations. This is comparable to the mental power of a monk in the Golden Core Realm." ?Is it also true?”
"I think it should be," said Qingshi, who was a little less confident when it came to his mental power. "I feel that my mental power is very strong, but as Bai Lao said, I don't have any special skills to cultivate mental power, nor do I use mental power to... I’m not afraid of your laughing at my fighting skills, I don’t even know how I should show you the strength of my mental power.”
"Then you are born with strong mental power!" The old man frowned, "But how do you know that you are mentally strong?"
"Well, I just know it." Of course Qingshi would not explain, "Old Bai, can you test it? In fact, I also want to know what level my mental power is. Anyway, I estimate that it will not be lower than that of an ordinary ninth-level Yuandan realm monk. .”
"It's easy," the old man said, taking the flying sword in Qingshi's hand, and with a slight wave, the embroidered wind sword flew seven or eight feet away, and was gently inserted into the wooden frame.
"Try to summon it with your mental power," the old man said, "and let it fly into your hand."
Of course, bluestone can make the flying sword fly over. There are two methods. One is to use the true energy to wrap the flying sword, pull it out and fly it back. This is called retrieving objects from the air, and a monk can do it.
However, this method consumes a lot of energy and must be within a certain range. Judging from Qingshi's current cultivation level, this distance is basically the limit.
Another method is to set up a corresponding magic circle here in advance.
As for using his mental power, Qingshi felt that he definitely couldn't do it. However, he still concentrated his mental power and imagined that his mental power was released like true energy to wrap up the flying sword and bring it back. Sure enough, after working hard for a long time, the flying sword could not be recovered. like a statue.
"Think carefully," said the old man, "what did I say?"
Qingshi's heart moved, calling! The old man was talking about summoning it with spiritual power! What is a calling? Qingshi thought about it carefully and realized that the summoning was not that I actively released my mental power to grab it, but that I used my mental power to sense it and imagine it flying towards me.
About a stick of incense later, the flying sword suddenly trembled, then flew over and was caught by Qingshi.
Qingshi looked excited and a little puzzled, and immediately asked: "Old Bai, if my guess is correct, it won't be effective if I use this mental power summoning method to summon other things, right?"
"Well, you can teach me," the old man said, shaking his head. "The reason why flying swords are different from other swords is not in shape but in essence. The materials used to forge flying swords contain special treasures that can feel spiritual power, so they can be used with Controlled by mental power, if any object can feel the mental power being summoned to fly around, wouldn’t everything become a flying sword?”
"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your advice." Qingshi said sincerely.
"Okay, you already understand the method of summoning," the old man said, "Now let's see how powerful your mental power is." With a wave of his hand, the flying sword in Qingshi's hand flew out again, inserting On a wooden frame about ten feet away.
Then, the old man's body swayed, and he was already on the other side, and the distance from Feijian was about ten feet away.
"Now we are all about the same distance from the flying sword," the old man said. "I want to use the mental power roughly equivalent to that of a ninth-level monk in the Yuan Dan realm to summon the flying sword. You summon it at the same time to see who can succeed. You know what I mean. Are you ready? If you're ready, count to three and we'll start."
"I understand," Qingshi calmed down and concentrated on sensing the flying sword. After a few breaths, he shouted: "Three"
The flying sword trembled violently, separated from the wooden frame and floated in the air, and then slowly flew towards Hu Bai. The old man said proudly: "What's the use of being clever? Strength is... Oops!" Without saying a word! After finishing the sword, it began to move towards the bluestone. The old man stopped talking and concentrated on retrieving it.
Sure enough, after a breath, the sword began to fly in the direction of Old Hu Bai, then stopped, and then flew towards Qingshi. After doing this several times, the flying sword finally stopped flying back and forth and flew straight into Qingshi's hand.
The old man came to Qingshi's side, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and his previous teasing and joking attitude was completely gone.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Qingshi asked: "Old Bai, I have a question. If a person uses a flying sword, and his enemy has stronger mental power than him, wouldn't he be deprived of the flying sword or even controlled by the flying sword? Come and chop yourself?"
"That's a good question," the old man said with a smile, "What should you do if you think about it?"
Qingshi pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "I understand, this is the third point that Bai Lao said, the reason why the person who uses it must be an array master. The way is to carve the control array pattern on the flying sword, and wear the corresponding one on your body. The formation controls the hub, so that the flying sword is only controlled by yourself, am I right?"
"Yes," the old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "The understanding is also very good. In fact, the control hub of flying swords is usually made into a scabbard. In addition, flying swords generally need to be equipped with a driving energy source, so that they can be more powerful."
"Then this sword..." Qingshi looked at the flying sword in his hand.
"Yes, this sword has no magic circle attached, the material itself contains no energy, and there is no additional energy source installed. Even if it does not fail to be cast, it is only a semi-finished product." Shaking his head with a wry smile, the old man continued, "But if this were not the case, then How could he be abandoned by the Sword Immortal and become a middle-grade yellow-level person?"
"Old Bai," Qingshi asked, "you just said that Qinglian Sword Immortal still has the flying sword skill, right? But you don't know how to get it?"
"Well!" the old man said with a frown, "It's more complicated, but there should be a chance. Let's put this aside for now and collect the rewards first. Have you decided on what to choose for these weapons and armors? "
"I have thought about it," Qingshi said without hesitation, "This is the flying sword."
"Okay, let's look at the next item," the old man said. "Do you want spiritual weapons to assist cultivation, elixirs, or minerals and medicinal materials?"
"Haha," Qingshi said with a smile, "I have thought about this a long time ago. I want a storage ring." Qingshi has two storage devices, both of which are yellow-level low-grade newly promoted, one bracelet and one jade pendant, he said When it comes to storage, rings are naturally the most convenient to use.
This is of course simple. After a while, Qingshi chose a black ring divided into seven spaces, with a total of two cubic feet, and put it on the middle finger of his right hand. There is no strict grade for this kind of thing, it can only be regarded as roughly equivalent to the yellow-level mid-grade.
After putting on the ring, Qingshi stretched out his hand to look at it with satisfaction, and asked Old Man Hu Bai: "Old Man Bai, how did the female senior evaluate me in this assessment? Is my performance considered good?"
"Haha," the old man said with a laugh, "I know you are thinking about special rewards, but I don't know yet. I am about to ask, and by the way, I also want to discuss the Flying Sword Technique." He said to Qingshi Wink.
Qingshi thanked him quickly, and then followed the old man back to the hall of nine apertures. The old man let him do what he wanted, then walked into another aperture and disappeared.
In an exquisite small living room, sitting at the top was a beautiful woman about forty years old, wearing a purple robe, with an elegant temperament. On the left and right below, an old man in green robes with a tall nose and deep eyes and a middle-aged man in black with a curly beard were sitting. , Hu Bai had finished talking about Qingshi for a while, and was now standing opposite the beautiful woman, waiting for a response.
After a long time, the beautiful woman said to old man Hu Bai: "Xiao Bai, please sit down too." Then she looked at the old man in green robe and the big man in black and said, "Qing Long Hei Hu, you all understand what Xiao Bai said, right? what idea?"
The big man in black, Heihu, immediately said loudly: "Such a genius should be trained with all our strength. If you ask me, just don't do any more assessments. The four of us take turns teaching him, and give him all the training resources and so on. Within a thousand years, I guarantee that he will run rampant throughout the Tianlong world."
"Then what?" the beautiful woman said, "He can break through the shackles of the Tianlong world and ascend to Taihao?"
"Oh, Chun Niang," Heihu continued, "I mean to do our best to cultivate him quickly, and then let him find opportunities to break through, and finally go to the God Realm."
"Speaking of training," Chun Niang, a beautiful woman in purple robe, said, "Will we outsiders be better than the mature training system of the big forces in the local world? Especially for cultivating such low-level monks."
"Yes," Hu Bai interjected, "Our training methods are definitely not as good as those of the top academies or large sects and families in this world. It goes without saying that even in terms of training resources, we may not be able to compare."
"It makes no sense," Black Tiger said angrily, "The resources we have collected and those brought from the God Realm will not be as good as this world?"
"What Third Brother Hei said is," Hu Bai said with a smile, "The treasures we brought from the God Realm are naturally unmatched in this world, but they are top-notch treasures. When it comes to the cultivation resources for cultivating geniuses step by step, we have It is absolutely incomparable. Even if you can compare with a certain force, you cannot compare with the whole world. Moreover, cultivating talents requires not only cultivation, but more importantly, experience. Brother Hei also said that you need to find cultivation resources and opportunities by yourself. Well."
"Hmph!" Black Tiger said, "Then what should we do? Let them be released casually like those before. In the end, which one will grow up?"
"Then those who stay here will grow up?" Hu Bai rolled his eyes at Heihu and then looked at the old man in green, Qinglong, and said, "Aren't they all dead?"
"Hey!" Black Tiger shouted, "You old boy is itchy again, aren't you?"
"Okay!" The beautiful woman Chun Niang shouted, and Hu Bai and Hei Hu closed their mouths.
"Second brother," Chun Niang looked at Qinglong, "What do you think?"
"I don't even know what you are fighting about!" Qinglong glanced at Heihu and said slowly, "The pattern and rules have been set by the master a long time ago. Can you change them? Xiaobai is right, you need to practice , but also to experience, if you die, you will die, whether in Yunlu or the outside world, death means that he is not qualified. Since coming to Jingyue Lake, what kind of garbage are those candidates that Yunlu has accepted? I I just want to slap them all to death. Although this person's talent is incredibly high, his Qi cultivation is ridiculously low. It's really ridiculous. I'm afraid his ability to fulfill his talent is limited. My opinion is very It’s simple, the rules cannot be changed, the most you can do is be flexible and take care of them.”
"Well, that's what I mean," Chun Niang said, "Don't say we can't change the rules. Even if we can, it may not be a good thing, but we can still be more flexible in some places. Such a genius should be allowed by the rules. Some special care within the scope will at least give him a better chance of survival during the training process. What do you think?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Black Tiger said.
"Yes, special care should be given as long as there are no violations." Hu Bai said.
"Well, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, everything else is fine." Qinglong nodded.
"Well, if the result of this assessment is that he doesn't take care of him, he is definitely qualified to receive a special reward," Chun Niang said. "Since he needs to take care of him, let's take care of him on the chosen prize. What do you think?"
"Great," Hu Bai said, "I was originally going to ask Chun Niang to give him a special reward. Since he got it on his own, I suggest that Qinglian Sword Immortal's flying sword technique be included in the reward options."
"Isn't this against the rules?" Qinglong said, "Flying Sword Technique belongs to the God Realm, so it seems that it is not included in the reward items."
"I remember there is such a rule in the rules. If the resources brought by the God Realm can be used by the monks in the Tianlong World, they can be included in the reward items, such as Qingxin Agarwood and the half-broken Embroidered Wind Flying Sword. They are used as yellow-level medium "The Flying Sword Technique is included in the reward items." Hu Bai said eloquently, "The reason why the Flying Sword Technique was not included in the reward items is because we never expected that there would be talents in this world who can both practice the Flying Sword Technique and meet the requirements for inheritance candidates. "
"That's right," Chun Niang said, "Although the candidate was selected by Yunlu, I know the conditions for the selection. Among them, the cultivation limit is no lower than the Qi Gathering realm and no higher than the mid-level Yuandan realm. We did not put Fei Sword skills are included as reward items because we believe that monks below the middle level of Yuan Dan Realm cannot practice flying sword skills. Since Qingshi’s spiritual power is so strong that it is now possible to practice flying sword skills, it is not illegal to add them.”
"Well, it makes sense," Qinglong said, "Then let's add reward items, but how to level them up?"
"That's a problem," Chun Niang said with a frown, then looked at Hu Bai, "Xiao Bai, you manage items, what do you think?"
"Oh, that's what I think. The Flying Sword spell is no small matter. Even if it is a first-level spell, according to the standards of Tianlong World, it is at least an earth-level mid-level spell. But this spell is quite special. It is divided into the Flying Sword Mysterious Array. and the Flying Sword Technique. If we want to apply the standards of the Tianlong World, I think the Flying Sword Mysterious Formation is the core of this spell, and it should be classified as a spell. The first level of spells is more appropriate to be considered as an earth-level mid-level spell." Hu Bai Taking the trouble to explain in detail, "Flying Sword Technique is mainly the method and technique of controlling flying swords. It should be classified as martial arts. It is more appropriate for its first-level techniques to be regarded as Xuan-level mid-level techniques."
"You have taken great pains to help this kid," Qinglong rolled his eyes at Hu Bai, "Your classification method is not illegal, but even if the Flying Sword Technique is included in the reward and counted as a Xuan-level mid-level, he still needs to have the Luck Nine Just choose one of them. Besides, it’s useless to have swordsmanship without the method of controlling the mysterious array. By the way, you also need a sword. Can that broken sword fly?"
"Hey, who says it's not the case?" Hu Bai said with an awkward smile when he was told what he was thinking, "There's a long way to go! Let's take it step by step." The four of them couldn't help but laugh together.
