In the Cangzhou City Lord's Mansion, Mu Qing smiled and waved his hands repeatedly. He knew about this matter and would definitely not detain the person. Zhao Baier was overly worried this time.
Ji Beichen was already used to Zhao Bai'er's joking. He stood up, held his hands in his hands, and said respectfully with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Brother Zhao for breaking through the expulsion period!"
As soon as Zhao Baier entered the door just now, Ji Beichen could see that he had broken through the foundation-building perfection and officially entered the object-expelling stage, and was really happy for him.
As the name suggests, the object driving stage is to use thoughts to control various objects, and it can also activate magic weapons. The most commonly used one is to control flying swords and fly in the air. The object-expelling stage is invincible in the mortal world, but it is the third lowest level in the world of cultivation.
The expulsion stage ranges from level one to level nine, and when it reaches the level of nine perfection, the breakthrough time varies from person to person. A person with amazing talent and beauty can break through the core formation in five years. Normal foundation-building monks usually need more than 25 years, but more humane foundation-building monks cannot break through the ninth level of foundation-building in their lifetime and cannot cultivate the golden elixir.
Abandoning the normal way of cultivating immortals, there is another way to quickly become a Golden Elixir monk: plunder the Golden Elixir and cultivation of other monks. The Huan Mie Sect entrenched in Youzhou relies on this method to strengthen its sect. This method is contrary to morality and is shamed by other demon sects and immortal sects.
"Ah Chen, you're welcome! You are a guest of my Zhao family. You should follow me back to the Zhao family's ancestral home. How can you live in the city lord's mansion forever?" Zhao Bai'er pretended to snatch people away again. He grabbed Ji Beichen's wrist and walked out.
"There is a room in my house specially reserved for you, and it is no worse than this one. Besides, Linger misses you too!" Zhao Baier's attitude of trying to compete with Mu Qing made Mu Qing very anxious.
"Bai'er is so pitiful... you are such a helpless brother, cough!" Mu Qing saw Zhao Bai'er fighting for Ji Beichen with him. She knew in her heart that Zhao Bai'er loved to play, but she still got excited when she spoke and couldn't help but cough. A few times.
When Zhao Baier saw this, he quickly let go. He was happy today and the joke went too far. It was indeed his fault.
"Brother Mu, it's okay. I won't leave. Just go to bed and lie down!" Seeing that Mu Qing was feeling unwell, Ji Beichen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mu Qing lie down on the bed.
Zhao Bai'er poured a glass of water and handed it over, and Ji Beichen took it. He knew that Zhao Bai'er was unintentional, but he still said this: "Bai'er, don't argue, I will take the time to see Ling'er. In Cangzhou City, I I didn’t go anywhere, so I stayed at the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"I..." Zhao Baier was choked by Ji Beichen. When he was a child, he often ran against Ji Beichen, and now he has repaid him in this world.
Seeing his face darken, Ji Beichen thought he was worried about the sword, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Brother Zhao, don't worry about the sword. I will go to Wuyou Town with you."
Ji Beichen had actually been preparing to make swords for Zhao Baier for a long time, and looking at the entire Cangzhou, Wuyou Town was an excellent place for sword making.
The way to make swords is to use the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Wuyou Town outside Cangzhou City is full of spiritual energy and is a good place for sword making. Moreover, there is a Dragon Vein Hot Spring there. Ji Beichen has just built a foundation and needs to go to a place with abundant spiritual energy to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
In Ji Beichen's heart, he has resonated with swords since he was a child. Whether it is his interpretation of the sword style, his unique understanding of the sword's intention, or his perception of the spiritual sword, he is more sensitive than ordinary people.
And his familiarity with the art of sword-making is even more astonishing, as if he was born with it. Even the extremely complex dragon-vein sword-making technique can be mastered by himself without a teacher.
Therefore, when Zhao Baier was angry that he cut off his own sword, Ji Beichen agreed without even thinking about it and forged another natal sword for him, because it was not difficult for him!
——
On the country road leading to Wuyou Town, two figures, one white and one black, were sitting casually on horses. Ji Beichen and Zhao Bai'er said goodbye to Mu Qing early in the morning, left Cangzhou City, and headed to Wuyou Town outside Cangzhou City.
The journey was uneventful. When Ji Beichen saw that the horses were a little tired, he slowed down and found a place by the water to take a rest. He happened to talk to Zhao Baier about this "sword-making method"...
Ji Beichen tied up the horse, and Zhao Bai'er handed over the water bag and plain cakes, and said loudly: "It's been a smooth journey for the two of us. It's rare for us to be so happy!"
Zhao Baier's unintentional words also revealed the doubts in Ji Beichen's heart along the way. It stands to reason that people from the Demonic Way would not let him go easily, otherwise Lu Aotian would not have asked him about the "Sacred Relics of the Demonic Sect" that day at Lin Yuanfeng. Could it be that she was secretly protecting him again?
Seeing that the food in Ji Beichen's hand had not moved, Zhao Bai'er asked, "Isn't this vegetarian cake to Achen's taste?"
Ji Beichen hurriedly came to his senses, took a bite of the plain cake and replied, "No, does Brother Zhao know anything about the art of sword-making?"
Zhao Bai'er slightly cupped his hands and said with a little shame: "I haven't dabbled in it, Ah Chen, please tell me!"
Ji Beichen didn't hesitate and said straight away: "There are two types of sword-making methods. One is sword-making with precious weapons, which is the most common.
It is forged from spiritual stone and black iron through furnace fire. This kind of sword is most commonly used by monks. This kind of sword can be obtained by buying it with money.
The grades are divided according to the craftsmanship of the swordsmith and the different grades of the spiritual stones and dark iron used. "
The ancient book recording the sword-making technique was discovered by Ji Beichen in a dark room in the Cangxu Sect's library. The head master told him that many ancient sword-making techniques have been lost!
Zhao Bai'er became interested when he heard this and said enthusiastically: "Yes, this kind of sword is relatively common in the mortal world. It can be used by monks in the Qi Condensation stage. Even that girl Ling'er can use it! But it's only a first-class sword. Swords are still very rare, and the only place in the world that sells them is Wuyou Town in Cangzhou City!"
Zhao Bai'er didn't know much about the art of making swords, but weapons were often purchased in the military camp. He had quite a lot of contact with the first type of sword mentioned by Ji Beichen on weekdays.
Ji Beichen nodded slightly without saying anything. He scorned the first sword-making method. In his opinion, that kind of sword was the product of financial interests and was not worthy of being called a monk's sword. He would not forge that kind of sword for Zhao Bai'er.
"The other is a sword made of spiritual energy. It is forged with spiritual stone and black iron, and is infused with the energy of dragon veins! What I plan to forge for Brother Zhao is this spiritual energy sword. What do you think?" Ji Beichen looked at him after saying this. Zhao Baier, I want to hear his thoughts.
Zhao Baier chuckled, scratched his head and said, "What's so special about this spiritual energy-forged sword?"
He didn't know much about this sword-making technique, and he didn't have much advice to give, but he was rather curious about this spiritual sword-making technique. He had only heard his master mention this. There were many people in Wangyou Wuji Temple who owned spiritual swords. When he heard that Ji Beichen wanted to forge a spiritual sword for himself, he suddenly became curious.
Ji Beichen took a sip of water and continued: "A sword made of spiritual energy, as the name suggests, has more spiritual energy that can communicate with its owner than a treasure. A spiritual sword can sense the owner's dangerous emotions, but if you want the spiritual sword to exert its maximum power, you still need to It is necessary to condense the golden elixir to achieve the state of unity between man and sword."
This was not the first time that Ji Beichen forged a spiritual sword. He had forged two spiritual swords for his junior sister Lu Xinrui and his close friend Yan Mingxiu's adopted son Yan Nianxin before in Cangxu.
Thinking of his old friend Mingxiu, I couldn't hide the smile on my lips. If I knew what he had experienced these days, I would definitely laugh at him for being ignorant and stupid.
After finishing the repairs, the two set off again. Zhao Bai'er was happy and excited. As soon as he got on the horse, he put all his strength into it, leaving Ji Beichen far behind. Ji Beichen had something on his mind, so he just followed slowly without chasing after him.
Zhao Bai'er rode his horse galloping all the way, and his restless heart slowly calmed down. When he came to his senses, Ji Beichen was nowhere to be seen, so he slowed down his horse and waited. When Ji Beichen arrived, he stopped rushing forward and walked side by side with him.
Zhao Bai'er glanced at the long sword on Ji Beichen's back and asked curiously: "Is Ah Chen's sword a spiritual sword?"
When he and Ji Beichen fought before, he had seen the sword unsheathed. The sword was so powerful that it felt like an illusion.
"The Cangxu Sword is not a spiritual sword, it is a naturally formed immortal weapon." Ji Beichen smiled. His Cangxu Sword was indeed powerful. It was an immortal weapon with its own sword intent, and had quite a personality.
"Immortal weapon? Isn't that the foundation of the Cangxu Sect!" When Zhao Baier heard that Ji Beichen's sword turned out to be an immortal weapon, he cried out in surprise. Suddenly he realized that he had made a fuss, and then curled his lips in boredom and said nothing more. .
Previously, Zhao Baier sensed the Yan Yue Sect's martial arts from Ji Beichen's true energy, and thought that Ji Beichen learned from Yan Wugui and was accepted by the Yan Yue Sect. Later, his father Zhao Xiang told him about Ji Beichen's experience in the Cangxu Sect, and he realized that Ji Beichen had also suffered a lot. Only today did I know that Ji Beichen's seemingly ordinary sword turned out to be the heritage of the Cangxu Sect. I just felt like a frog in the well, a defeated peacock!
"Ashamed!" At this moment, Ji Beichen didn't feel very good. The Cangxu Sword, which was regarded as the supreme glory by others, was somewhat heavy for him. Now that he knew that he had modified another martial art, he felt deeply ashamed and had no face to face the master.
Cangxu Sword sensed the change in master Ji Beichen's mood, and no longer concealed the sword light, flying away from the scabbard. Ji Beichen silently held the hilt of the sword, remembering that the head master said that the sword intention of the Cangxu Sword is to refuse to give in, to refuse to be cowardly, and to never give in!
Over the years, he studied swordsmanship and Taoism in the Cangxu sect, practiced martial arts, and was pure of heart and desires all day long, and realized the great way of sword heart: only the sword, only the heart, only me!
Thinking about it carefully, he fell off the cliff that day, and the damage to the sword's heart was not caused by trauma, but because he doubted the righteousness of the sword's heart at that time!
As for Cangxu Sword, he did not despise this useless person who had surrendered, cowardly, and given in. He was always by his side, even if he practiced another technique, he would never leave him.
"How can you be as stupid as me..." Ji Beichen has a casual nature. He has never used the blood refining method on the Cangxu Sword before, forcing it to follow him for the rest of his life. Now that I think about it, this spiritual sword values love and justice more than he does, and I just feel that I am at a loss for it!
Ji Beichen didn't know at this time that there was a third method of sword-making, which was to forge a real invisible sword.
This sword is called the Guiyuan Sword, also called the Dragon Sword or the Dragon Sword. It is forged from the Dantian. In the process of sword making, the forger needs to feel the breath of all things, constantly realize the Tao, extract the essence of dragon veins from all dragon vein places, gather the essence into the Dantian, and then use the Great Sword Heart to forge the sword.
After the Guiyuan Sword is forged, the caster can transform it at will. It can gather it into a sword, disperse it into Qi, and transform it into a dragon. The changes are endless.
Moreover, it can be as big as heaven and earth above and as small as dust below. It can penetrate countless time and space, kill the gods of the nine heavens above, and eliminate the chaotic ghosts in hell below.
In the future, Ji Beichen transformed his body into energy for the Cangxu Sword, and forged a sword with the Dao Sword Heart, which finally defeated the bloodthirsty ancient artifact of the Dragon-Slaying Sword. This is another story!
