Li Xiuping closed the ancient book in his hand, and his heart surged, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
What is recorded in this ancient book is not the way of practicing martial arts, but some records related to martial arts. Even so, it is enough to prove that martial arts can indeed form elixirs, and it is also enough to prove that what appears in his body now is indeed gone. Yuan Dan is formed from the martial arts route.
As for whether the Yuan Dan can be broken into an infant like the Golden Dan, Li Xiuping doesn't know, but at least he has new hope. The most important thing is that according to this ancient book, after forming the Yuan Dan, not only the physical As the intensity rises to a higher level, the vitality will also increase, but there is no detailed record of how long it will take to reach the limit.
The only regret is that this ancient book is obviously incomplete. It only has the first half and not the second half. Otherwise, it would have been able to help him to a great extent.
Li Xiuping's biggest worry before was that if he couldn't form elixirs, he wouldn't be able to extend his life, so he wouldn't have so much time to practice and climb higher step by step. Now this worry can be considered resolved.
In addition, because of the appearance of another Li Xiuping, Li Xiuping has always been worried that he will be replaced by him. Especially after Qingming layman revealed the situation of the distraction period and the integration period, this worry became more severe.
Although that guy's strength will be affected by his own influence, after all, he has the cultivation level of the distraction stage, and he also has a powerful inheritance left over from ancient times. When it comes to someone having to disappear, there is no doubt that he will be the only one who disappears. Because it is impossible for a monk in the foundation building stage to compete with a strong man in the distraction stage.
Although that guy said that if they want to reach the integration stage, they must be able to match each other when Li Xiuping is strong enough. But he was still in an extremely passive situation.
Since according to normal practice, it has been determined that it is impossible to form an elixir, let alone break it and become an infant, then why not change the way of practice and continue to strengthen myself to ensure that one day I will have the confidence to compete with another self?
Now the appearance of this ancient book is like giving Li Xiuping a new hope, like opening a new door for him, allowing him to see a new world and have a new hope.
The Tianlan Sect ancestor seemed not to have expected that this ancient book would be so valued by Li Xiuping. He looked at Li Xiuping's face and said with a smile: "If Young Master Li needs it, I will give this to Young Master Li."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any pretense. He stood up and saluted, "In that case, I would like to thank you, senior."
The ancestor of Tianlan Sect smiled and said: "Young Master Li, you're welcome. If this thing is left in Tianlan Sect, it will be lost sooner or later. If it can help Young Master Li, that is the true meaning of its existence."
Li Xiuping thanked him again. He didn't know how to express his feelings for a while. He could only promise that he would try his best to help Tianlan Sect build a higher-grade spiritual sword. Then he left the hall and returned to his residence, while continuing Repairing the damage to his body, he took out the fairy treasure belonging to Master Huo Ling.
This is an immortal treasure similar to the Mysterious Fire Token. It also contains powerful fire attribute energy. Although the shape is different, there is basically no big difference in the way it is driven. It is just that if you want to master it skillfully, it obviously still requires a lot of effort. time.
Of course, Li Xiuping didn't want to completely master it. After all, he just needed the fire attribute energy to smelt the materials, so he only needed to find some ways. As for using it to fight, every year and a half, it would not be possible at all. No need to think about it.
With the assistance of this fairy treasure, Li Xiuping can more easily mobilize the fire attribute energy between heaven and earth, thereby reducing the loss caused by smelting materials and avoiding adding injury to injury.
However, the problem of smelting has been solved, but the problem of sword casting has not been solved. For sword making, smelting is just the most basic process. The real trouble lies in fusion and tempering, which requires him to constantly adjust the sword intention. Speaking from a human perspective, forging a spiritual sword is not much easier than killing a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, and is even more difficult.
Now there are problems with the meridians in his body, and the biggest problem is that the fifteenth layer of spiritual crystals are now being continuously absorbed by the willow tree, and the willow tree is now unable to provide any help to Li Xiuping, so he must If you want to forge a sword, it will only be more difficult.
But fortunately, this time I only forged some spiritual swords, not fairy swords.
When he first built the foundation, he didn't have the willow tree or the wine in the jug, but he still cast a spiritual sword like "Shaking Kunlun". Now it's not a problem to cast a spiritual sword. The only problem is that it needs to be cast this time. There are many swords, which takes a lot of time.
Li Xiuping didn't know what was going on in Emperor Wu City now, but because of the Master Huo Ling, the existence of the demon clan was certain.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the Master Huo Ling.
A strong human being, a being who has reached the integration stage and is only one step away from the tribulation stage, a person who comes from a Taoist sect that has "finished its mission of exterminating demons", actually colludes with the demon world, and does not hesitate to do so. Using the secret techniques of the demons was enough to prove that the influence and threat posed by Muzu was far beyond their imagination.
This is why Li Xiuping asked Master Qingming to inquire about the news. Only by knowing the specific situation can we make preparations. Rather than being in a hurry when the time comes.
In this way, Li Xiuping stayed at his residence for another five days. After coming out, he asked Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect to send all the materials, and then started to forge swords.
As Li Xiuping began to forge swords, strong men from the two major sects began to come over to watch.
They had already seen Mr. Li's fighting ability, so they all wanted to see what level his sword-making skills had reached.
It's not that they haven't seen weapon refiners before. In fact, both Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect have many weapon refiners. However, Li Xiuping is completely different from those weapon refiners because he is the master of sword-making, Mr. Ou Ye. Mr. Ouye's disciple, and with his mortal body, Mr. Ou Ye was able to forge one fairy sword after another, and half of the weapons on the weapon list came from his hands.
This Li Xiuping is not an ordinary person. Does that mean that he is better than others?
Of course, the grade of a sword is not only affected by the swordsmith's sword-making method, but also by the materials. What they collected before were only some spiritual materials, so no matter how brilliant Li Xiuping's sword-making method is, he can only Just forge a spiritual sword.
Not to mention that Li Xiuping couldn't forge an immortal sword. Even if he could, they wouldn't be able to provide the materials to cast an immortal sword, because all the materials they could produce now wouldn't be enough for an immortal sword.
It is precisely because of this huge gap that many sects that are not very powerful generally do not choose to forge immortal weapons, or even master them. Even if they can obtain them, they will find ways to exchange them for equivalent ones. spirit stones, and then use them to purchase spiritual weapons and elixirs. Because for such a sect, the practicality of spiritual weapons is far higher than that of immortal weapons.
It is important to have an immortal sword, and it can even directly become the mainstay of a sect, but most sects simply cannot bear such a thing, and no matter how powerful the immortal sword is, there is only one, and thousands of disciples can hold them all. Compared with spiritual weapons, there is definitely a big gap.
In this way, similar sects will naturally choose more practical spiritual weapons instead of fairy weapons, because although fairy weapons can bring huge benefits to the sect, they can also become a disaster for the sect.
The female cultivator of Huatian Sect who was only in the foundation building stage glanced around, then focused on the woman who knew how to refine weapons, and asked: "Senior sister, you are also a weapon refiner, what do you think Mr. Li has forged?" How long does it take to make a sword?”
The woman who knew how to refine weapons was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "It's hard to say. Sword making is different from weapon refining, and it will take longer. But after all, Mr. Li belongs to Mr. Ou Ye, the great master of sword making." Disciple, it shouldn’t take too long.”
The familiar man said at this time: "Three days?"
The woman who knew how to refine weapons shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it will be shorter."
The familiar man was a little stunned, and then said bitterly: "It's so annoying to compare people to each other. He can have a spiritual weapon without using it for three days, but for a spiritual weapon, we have to go everywhere to find it. If you go and grab it, you might even be killed by the opponent. This is really..."
The woman who knew how to refine weapons nodded and said: "If you want to forge a good weapon, you will naturally need to spend an equal amount of time. Of course, I don't know much about sword forging, so it is just a guess. It cannot be taken as true. The specifics are still It all depends on how long it takes Mr. Li to cast it. Whether it is sword-casting, elixir refining, or weapon refining, there is a possibility of failure. Therefore, one or two castings cannot determine the length of sword-casting time and the success or failure. determination."
Both nodded.
At this time, Li Xiuping in the yard had already begun to forge swords. He first used the fairy treasure containing the fire attribute energy to draw the fire attribute energy between heaven and earth and inject it into the furnace cauldron. .
As the furnace was filled with flames, Li Xiuping also threw the materials into the furnace one by one, and then began to aggressively smelt the materials, using the flames to remove impurities.
After some operations, the flow was smooth and flowing without any pause.
Seeing the materials in the furnace being continuously refined and fused, the woman from Huatian Sect who knew how to refine weapons suddenly looked in disbelief, because Li Xiuping's refining and fusion process was actually more complicated than she had imagined. Countless times faster.
After all the impurities in the materials were removed, there was not much conflict in the fusion, so Li Xiuping took advantage of this gap to rest for a while, then took out all the fused materials from the furnace, and then started forging. .
It's just that Li Xiuping's next operation made people feel a bit wasteful, because he actually used the ruler that reached the level of an immortal weapon as a casting platform, and the hatchet in his hand as a casting hammer.
At this moment, the fused material fell on the casting table, and Li Xiuping directly raised the hatchet in his hand.
He was obviously just holding up an ordinary hatchet, but people seemed to see that what Li Xiuping was holding seemed to be a giant sword wrapped in majestic sword intent.
He was obviously some distance away from the casting platform. With the length of his arm plus the length of the hatchet, it was impossible to reach the square ruler, and naturally it was impossible to reach the completely fused materials on the ruler. But he raised the wood After using the knife, he actually knocked the hatchet directly from his hand.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the Fangzhen Ruler sank directly into the earth, and the entire Tianlan Sect was shaken!
As the knife fell, Li Xiuping took a step forward and dropped the hatchet in his hand.
There was another loud roar, and the ground shook again.
Feeling all these changes, the familiar guy from Huatian Sect frowned and said, "Is there such a big movement in the casting of spiritual swords?"
No one answered, everyone was staring at Li Xiuping at this moment.
At this time, the strong men of the Tianlan Sect kept coming forward, and then appeared around Li Xiuping. They formed seals with their hands at the same time, constantly building barriers to ensure that the Tianlan Sect would not be affected by Li Xiuping's sword-making as much as possible.
In fact, Li Xiuping had already suppressed it before, but now that he saw Tianlan Sect activate the defensive formation, he stopped suppressing it, completely let go of his hands and feet, and kept falling with one knife after another.
Li Xiuping discovered that the benefits of alchemy were more than what he had felt before, and his sword-making skills had also improved a lot.
In addition, for the first time, Li Xiuping felt that the effect of fairy treasures was so huge. First, the fairy treasures containing fire attribute energy he obtained from Huo Ling directly helped him save the consumption of smelting materials, and The furnace tripod helped him save the time of smelting. Now using the square ruler as a casting platform can not only reduce the damage, but also temper the sword embryo more effectively. If there is another one similar to a hammer, Immortal weapon, that would be perfect.
From a distance, Li Xiuping looked like he was spinning a giant sword, constantly hitting the Zhenzhi. There was a pause at the beginning, with some sense of rhythm, and then it became dizzyingly fast. , people feel that if a person is placed on that square ruler at this moment, even a strong person in the transformation stage will die if he is hit by those bombs.
When Fang Zhenzhi completely sank into the ground, Li Xiuping stopped what he was doing, put away the hatchet in his right hand, and then waved his left hand upwards. Suddenly a long sword appeared in the sky above Tianlan Sect, and the sword energy overflowed. .
In this way, the sword is considered complete, with only one final step left: Ming Ming.
However, Li Xiuping didn't seem to want to name the sword. Instead, he directly raised his hand again and sent the sword out of the defensive formation set up by Tianlan Sect. The wielder names it himself, so whoever gets this sword first, please name it.”
Seeing the spiritual sword floating in the air, feeling the majestic and magnificent sword intent, whether they are disciples of Tianlan Sect or Huatian Sect, their eyes are fiery, but at this moment, they all look at the Tianlan Sect disciple Ancestor.
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect said loudly: "The person coming from the Huatian Sect is a guest, so let the Taoist friends of the Huatian Sect come first."
The elder who was responsible for leading the Huatian Sect did not delay and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to thank Patriarch Chen."
After saying that, he looked at the familiar guy from Huatian Sect and said, "Jingyun comes first."
The man named Xiao Jingyun took a step forward, and then began to feel a little embarrassed, because he didn't know what name to give this sword.
The elder of the Huatian Sect seemed to be worried that if this delay would affect the grade of the sword and make Li Xiuping and the Tianlan Sect dissatisfied, he said, "In my opinion, let's name it after you."
Jamel Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's call him Jingyun."
After the words fell, Li Xiuping made no move. On the blade of the long sword, two small golden characters appeared out of thin air: "Jing Yun."
As these two small words appeared, the sword intent on the spiritual sword became even stronger, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was poured into the long sword crazily, and then the grade of the long sword began to rise, becoming stronger and stronger.
Feeling the changes in the sword, the strong men of Tianlan Sect and the strong men of Huatian Sect all had expressions of bewilderment.
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect smiled and said: "If you are not a disciple of Mr. Ou Ye, this kind of method is no longer possible for any swordsmith."
A disciple of the Tianlan Sect asked: "Ancestor, is there any point in this?"
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect smiled and nodded: "Whether it is an immortal weapon or a spiritual weapon, the most important thing is actually the compatibility. Only by completely compatibility with the holder can the grade of the magic weapon be brought into full play, and this Mr. Li is only responsible for making swords. As for the specific grade of this sword, it directly depends on the person who holds it."
Everyone frowned, not quite understanding what it meant.
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect actually had no intention of continuing to explain, but smiled and said: "That girl from the Huatian Sect, you are also a weapon refiner, can you tell me?"
The woman from the Huatian Sect's weapon refining club nodded and said: "The weapon refining, or sword making, is really powerful, but it is not actually the grade of the magic weapon, but the compatibility it contains. Generally speaking, a magic weapon is as powerful as the weapon it holds. The higher the degree of compatibility between the two, the stronger the power that can be exerted. But the degree of compatibility is something that cannot be seen or even touched. Only the holder can feel it personally."
She paused and then continued: "Master Li is only responsible for forging the sword, but the fit is left to the person who will hold the sword. In this way, the sword can have the greatest resonance with the person holding it. There is a subtle reaction between each other..."
As if she felt that this explanation was not clear enough, she continued: "Everyone should have heard of the natal magic weapon. This is the reason why the natal magic weapon is so powerful. The difference is that the natal magic weapon needs to be warmed and nourished by the natal essence and blood, so that To achieve unity with one's own mind, Master Li's method can make the sword completely in tune with the person holding the sword without using the life essence and blood. I am afraid that only Master Li can do this kind of method in the world. arrive."
The ancestor of the Tianlan Sect looked obviously disappointed. This girl should have been a disciple of their Tianlan Sect, but it was a pity that Hua Tianzong took advantage of her. However, there was no lack of admiration in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Yes, so the grades of the next swords will not change much before they are named. After they are named, the grades will appear. Fluctuations, either up or down.”
Everyone frowned again.
The ancestor of Tianlan Sect continued: "The specific grade of the sword will be closely related to your talents. What kind of person deserves what kind of sword. Therefore, if the grade of the sword changes, it is not because of Mr. Li, but because of you." s reason."
