This day was an extremely important day for Qian Chao. First of all, he touched the outline of the basic rules to be followed when using spells. In addition, the wonders within the sect he saw while using the Blue Eyes Technique had a profound impact on him, enough to change his future practice.
When Qian Chao first saw the vast spiritual veins, spiritual energy and spiritual light in the sect, he inevitably felt a little greedy. He secretly thought that if he owned all of these, he would not be able to become an immortal, but it was funny to think about it. I can actually have this idea!
But the spiritual veins and spiritual energy seemed to Qian Chao like a vast river. Looking at Qian Chao, his heart moved, and some ideas came to him.
For example, in dryland farming, farmers have to use wooden barrels to get water from wells and irrigate the seedlings bit by bit, which is extremely hard work. In places near lakes and rivers, farmers can dig ditches to divert water for irrigation, which is much easier.
After harvesting, the rice and wheat must be ground with stones or the chaff should be removed or crushed into powder before it can be eaten. The stone grinders are heavy and it would be extremely tiring to push them with human power. Generally, mules and horses are used instead of human power. However, farmers who live by rivers will build water mills on the banks where the water flow is fast. It is easier to use water power to drive stone mills.
Farmers abandoned wooden barrels and used ditches for irrigation. There was no water in the lakes and rivers. They built water mills and used the power of water flow to drive stone mills. The rushing river water did not become calm.
Likewise, the mighty spiritual veins in front of us, even though generations of ancestors have died or ascended here, they cannot be depleted at all.
Manpower is sometimes poor, and it is impossible to embrace all rivers. But if the method is right, can this vast and infinite spiritual energy of heaven and earth be used for oneself even for a short time?
It is naturally impossible for Qian Chao to do this now, but since he has this idea in his heart, it is like sowing a seed in his heart, waiting for the right opportunity to take root and sprout.
Later, Qian Chao invented the "Spirit-Inducing Technique". He had a joking explanation for this magic: Although my strength is very small and I can't beat others, I have a way to ask people with strong strength and strong body to help me fight! Although there are many restrictions when using it, once it is used, it is really powerful. Several times in the future, he and his four companions were in danger, and they always used this method to kill powerful enemies and save the day.
But that’s all for later, let’s not mention it for now.
This day is extremely important to Qian Chao because on this day, Qian Chao personally refined his first spiritual sword since he started practicing.
After getting Qingyan, on the spiritual sword he got when he entered the Nine Mysteries, he could clearly identify the three runes on it, a flying bird, a wishful thinking and a running wolf.
After seeing the rune clearly, Qian Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief. But to be honest, before he saw the rune, he thought that the spiritual sword in his hand was very good, at least it was a sword that could cut gold and jade. However, when he saw clearly the three small runes on the sword surface, he couldn't help but curl his lips. Although the three runes were engraved correctly, they looked crooked and ugly. He felt that even though he couldn't see the runes he carved during practice, he did it according to the instructions given in the "Six Talisman True Meanings". At least he was extremely serious when he carved the runes. The hand in his hand I don’t know which senior brother refined the spirit sword. From the appearance of the runes, we can probably tell that the senior senior brother seemed to be very careless when refining it.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao suddenly had a strong urge to go to the Chengqi Hall to refine a spiritual sword with his own hands. After all, he had the Blue Eyes Technique, so he had to give it a try.
I have never heard of a similar method in my sect, and even Senior Brother Cheng doesn't know about it. It seems that either he doesn't have it, and his Blue Eyes Technique is unique; or he does, but it can only be mastered by some advanced people. It was kept secret in the hands of his seniors. In this case, he could not publicize it. He knew the truth behind Mu Xiu Yu Lin. I have just entered this inner sect, and if I attract too much attention, my senior brothers will be jealous, let alone mentioning it. Those seniors probably will not all be like Senior Tang, so it is better to be cautious and low-key.
But weapon refining is a different matter. Senior Brother Cheng mistakenly believes that his spiritual talent is very good and that he is a good candidate for weapon refining. It has been some time since he entered the weapon refining hall, so he should be improving.
Qian Chao Yukong came to Chengqi Hall.
The lights in Chengqi Hall are still bright, and it is open to Jiu Xuan disciples day and night.
After Qian Chao entered, a senior brother saw him and asked in surprise, "Junior brother Qian, where have you been these past two days? Several people are looking for you?"
Qian Chao was curious after hearing this and asked, "Senior Brother Xiang, who has come to see me and what was it about?"
"It's nothing important. I just want you to help smelt a few pieces of ore. Hey, why did Junior Brother Qian come here so late?"
"Some things have been delayed in the past two days, and I haven't come yet. I was afraid that my hand would be raw, so I came over as soon as the things were done."
"Haha, Junior Brother Qian is quite diligent."
After chatting for a while, Senior Brother Xiang walked away.
At this time, there were still people in the Chengqi Hall, but it was obviously not as crowded as during the day. Qian Chao deliberately found a fire eye in a secluded place, sat down on the futon, and took out a piece of green copper from the storage bag. Most of his green copper was in pieces, mostly given to him by others after helping others smelt ore.
The piece of green copper was not big, and I can’t remember who gave it to me, but it was suitable for refining a spiritual sword.
He thought through the entire process of refining the spirit sword in his mind. After confirming that nothing was missing, Qian Chao removed the stone slab covering the fire eye and used the fire control technique to draw out the firepower from the fire eye. The piece of green copper was there. Qian Chao floated up and hung above the flames under the magic of controlling objects.
After a while, the green copper turned dark red under the high temperature. Qian Chao increased the firepower in the fire eyes, and the green copper gradually changed from dark red to bright red and finally to bright white. Color, and eventually the original inherent form gradually disappeared, turning into a white, glowing, high-temperature, hot juice-like ball.
The first step in refining a spiritual sword is to refine the sword embryo. This step is actually not difficult. As long as you have the firepower to master the art of controlling objects and have something in mind, the art of controlling objects will be shaped according to the monk's mind.
Qian Chao has seen many swords. Before he came to the Five Spirit Sect, there was one hanging on the wall of his father Qian Qianli's study. Speaking of it, the shape of this sect's inner spirit sword was similar to what he had seen before. The difference was that he tightly held the ball of bright white green copper with the Object Control Technique. What he was thinking about was the style of the sword he had seen before, and the bright white green copper seemed to be injected under the Object Control Technique. In a transparent iron frame, it was stretched bit by bit, and the sword spine, blade, and tip slowly appeared, and then the hilt, sword tang, and sword hoe. Qian Chao carefully recalled the scene in his father's study. The shape of the sword appeared in front of his eyes bit by bit.
Of course, monks don't need to hammer their swords in a forge; they just need to use the art of controlling objects.
After the sword embryo was formed, Qian Chao carefully looked at the shape of the small white sword, and then checked the proportions, and finally confirmed that it was correct.
The firepower of Huoyan was weakened a bit by Qian Chao, and the bright white sword gradually turned into bright red.
Now comes the most critical step, which is to engrave runes on the sword.
Qian Chao became serious. Even if he had the blue eye technique, he would not dare to slack off at this step. As his first spiritual sword, Qian Chao also planned to refine it into a three-rune spiritual sword, the same as the spiritual sword given to him by his master. The runes on the sword are also prepared to use the bird charm, wishful thinking charm and running wolf charm.
Staring at the bright red small sword in front of him, Qian Chao stopped the Yuan Chu Technique, leaving only the Object Control Technique holding up the small sword.
Those three runes may have been written silently in his mind thousands of times, but writing on such a narrow sword body seems to really have to be written like a fly-tipped regular script.
Come on, Qian Chao thought silently in his heart. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, a spiritual light appeared in his eyes.
Part of the spiritual energy in the body was quickly withdrawn. Qian Chao moved the index finger of his right hand slightly. Following his index finger, a thin bright blue line continued to wander around the body of the small sword, gradually crisscrossing horizontally and vertically, a bit There are circles, and finally a neatly written Ruyi Talisman is engraved on the body of the small sword.
He didn't have time to appreciate the runes he had engraved. Now that the Blue Eyes Technique and the Object Control Technique were used together, he didn't know whether the engraving of the runes consumed too much spiritual power or the Blue Eyes Technique consumed too much spiritual power. Qian Chao was really worried about the extra moment. These three runes cannot be engraved completely.
Not far away from the wish-fulfilling talisman, Qian Chao used his own spiritual power to imprint a bird talisman that looked like it was spreading its wings and was about to fly.
I don’t know whether he was nervous or excited, but Qian Chao almost made a mistake when he was carving the third running wolf talisman, but it was okay, okay! He suppressed the ups and downs of spiritual power in his body, and finally slowly and steadily completed the engraving of the ferocious and sharp running wolf talisman.
The three runes gradually faded and disappeared in his eyes. It was not that the engraving failed, but that Qian Chao's spiritual energy could not support it. He could only stop the Blue Eyes Technique and only use the Object Control Technique to hold the small sword.
After staring at the small sword for a while, Qian Chao opened the lid of a stone altar next to him. The water inside was filled with ingredients and was specially used for quenching the spirit sword.
With a sound of "chila", white steam steamed up from the altar. The small sword rolled a few times in the altar. After it cooled down, it was taken out by Qian Chao. After being quenched by the potion in the jar, the small green bronze sword was completely After cooling, it will no longer be the dark green color of green copper, and the formed spirit sword will naturally be gleaming.
The fire eye has not yet been closed, and the scarlet flames reflected Qian Chao's eyes brightly. He held the newly refined spirit sword in his hand and was using the blue eye technique to carefully look at the first spirit sword he had refined. .
At least Qian Chao is very satisfied with the three runes above.
Many people in the Chengqi Hall are refining spiritual swords, and the sword-testing stone here is indispensable. Qian Chao waved his hand and photographed a sword-testing stone over from the air.
The small sword in his hand floated up under Qian Chao's thoughts, and quickly expanded to the size of a normal spirit sword. It circled the sword test stone several times in the air, and then a sword light shined, followed by two "pops" , the sword-testing stone was chopped into two halves and fell to the ground.
Qian Chao took a closer look at the cut surface of the stone and found that it was extremely smooth. Then he was satisfied. It seemed that the first sword refining was successful.
In excitement, Qian Chao used his spiritual sword to chop and stab the sword test stone again. The sword test stone, which was the size of a stone bench, was soon broken into pieces less than the size of a fist. A pile of stones.
"Is Junior Brother Qian refining the spirit sword?" Senior Brother Xiang heard the voice and turned his head and saw the sword test stone on the ground, so he asked Qian Chao.
"Yes, I just refined a handful." Qian Chao didn't hide it either.
"Oh, how many runes are there?" Brother Xiang asked again.
"Of course it's three runes."
"Alas, now three-talisman spiritual swords are just for personal training, and four-talisman spiritual swords are not easy to sell. Those people all want a five-talisman spiritual sword, but they don't want to spend more spiritual stones. There is such a cheap thing, the price they offered is not even enough for the capital, huh, it is better to sell it to the senior brother in the inner hall."
"Oh? Will the senior brothers in the inner hall also accept the three-talisman spiritual sword?"
"Take it, why not? If they have a way to sell it, they will take it, but they keep the price very low. The price they gave for the Three Talisman Sword is not even a spiritual stone."
"What about the four-talisman spirit sword?" Qian Chao asked again.
"Well, the four-talisman one is not that high. The price they gave is that a four-talisman spiritual sword costs less than two spiritual stones. But if you don't want the spiritual stones, two four-talisman spiritual swords can be exchanged for a few green stones. Copper ore. The Four Talisman Spiritual Sword can be sold to people in the sect at a higher price, but that’s it. Look at how many people are refining weapons here every day. People like us in the Chengqi Hall are talking to each other in order to sell their own things. Not to mention lowering the price, you also saw what happened to Senior Brother Xie a few days ago. Alas, even if I sell it, I am still worried sometimes."
"What about your spiritual sword, Senior Brother Xiang?"
"Me? Well, the same goes for my spirit sword. If I take it to those senior brothers in the inner hall, I don't want their spirit stones, just the ore. The refined one is quite good. Hehe, you will know how to do it in the future. You know, there are still other ways, your cultivation is still shallow, it is useless to tell you this now, you will know it in the future."
After saying this, Senior Brother Xiang didn't want to talk any more and turned around to go back to his own business.
Seeing that they stopped talking, Qian Chao couldn't ask any more questions, but as long as there was one more rune on the spiritual sword, the price would go up a lot, and Qian Chao understood it.
When I was refining the spirit sword just now, it was my first time, so I was inevitably nervous and inexperienced. Not only did I waste a lot of time, but I also consumed a lot of my spiritual energy for no reason. If I had a calm mind and didn't rush, Maybe I can also refine a four-talisman spiritual sword.
Just do it if you think of it.
Before Qian Chao returned to the fire eye, he first meditated for a while to replenish the spiritual energy that had been lost just now. Then he rummaged through his storage bag and found a piece of green copper that was slightly larger than before. He followed the same refining method and soon a small sword that was exactly the same appeared.
Senior Brother Cheng once used his own spiritual sword to cut open an ordinary three-talisman spiritual sword and said that his spiritual sword only had one more rune on it than the sword that was cut open. , Qian Chao once asked that Senior Brother Cheng’s Four-Rule Spiritual Sword was just engraved with an extra running wolf rune, so Qian Chao also wanted to give it a try.
This second time to engrave runes on the sword embryo, Qian Chao was no longer as nervous as before, but he was still very serious. Until the last rune was completed, Qian Chao stopped the blue eye surgery and felt that if he continued If so, the fifth rune may only be able to be engraved with half of it at most. However, if one improves his cultivation level, it would not be difficult to refine a five-talisman spiritual sword.
It was inconvenient for Qian Chao to test the sword in the Chengdu Hall. If he could refine the four-talisman spirit sword at the first level of Qi Refining, it would still be too conspicuous, so Qian Chao quietly took out the sword. Tang, found a deserted place, took out the four-talisman spirit sword, and played with it.
Well, the Ruyi Talisman and the Flying Bird Talisman are both engraved correctly, and the rest depends on the quality of the two Running Wolf Talismans.
Qian Chao took out the three-talisman spirit sword he got when he entered the sect. He already disliked this sword because of the crooked runes on it. He was going to use it to test the sword. Anyway, even if it broke, it would be fine. Don’t feel bad about resmelting it.
With a "ding" sound, the two spiritual swords clashed together quickly. As expected, Qian Chao's four-talisman spiritual sword easily cut open the three-talisman spiritual sword.
Qian Chao looked at the gap in the broken sword and cut it twice more before stopping. I looked at it with the Blue Eyes Technique and found that the runes that originally shone with blue light on the broken sword had faded away. The three-talisman spirit sword was useless. He took a closer look at the four-talisman spirit sword he had refined, and found no damage at all!
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as when Brother Cheng demonstrated it.
But... Qian Chao found a stone and sat down, with the spiritual sword in his hand on his lap. But why did he feel so boring at this time?
The biggest difficulty in refining this weapon is that when engraving runes, it is like a blind man riding a blind horse. He does not know what the runes he has imprinted look like and whether they are accurate. But after this barrier was broken down, why did the weapon refining become so simple and even boring?
It's like a scholar studying hard day and night in order to rush for the exam, but he can actually know the test questions in advance, casually read the book, and prepare a few articles to pass the exam easily.
Without the Blue Eyes Technique, I was worried that the weapon refining would fail. Why did I finally have the Blue Eyes Technique, but I felt uneasy like a thief who cheated in the exam? Even the longing and longing for the weapon refining technique that he had when he entered the Nine Mysteries has gradually faded away. Shouldn't he have the Blue Eyes Technique?
When Qian Chao was a child, he often went out to play under the supervision of his family. He would see magic tricks on the street. For example, he could pull out a live chicken or rabbit from an empty bag, or a bowl of plain water. Covering it with a handkerchief and then uncovering it, there was actually a bowl of ice steaming out of the bowl. Qian Chao would be extremely curious at this time and must find out clearly.
Of course, he could make some rough guesses. If he couldn't guess, he would ask his family members to give some money to the magician. He must let them tell him how he got it. Firstly, the juggler got money, and secondly, he couldn't afford to offend him, a young man from an official family. Thirdly, this young master would definitely not do tricks on the street to compete with him for food in the future, so he found a place where no one was around to do it. He would tell Qian Chao the secret of his magic trick. Whenever Qian Chao figured it out, he would lose interest in the magic trick and would not even bother to look at it again when he encountered it in the future.
Qian Chao's interest in this weapon refining technique has greatly diminished.
The spiritual sword that Senior Brother Cheng uses for himself is a five-talisman spiritual sword. When talking about that sword, Senior Brother Cheng is very proud of it. It is not easy for him to refine such a spiritual sword according to his cultivation level, so he was chosen by his sect. He was chosen to teach this group of new disciples the art of weapon refining.
Qian Chao didn't know how many years Senior Brother Cheng had been practicing in his sect, but he could refine a four-talisman spiritual sword in less than three months. If he wanted a five-talisman spiritual sword, although he couldn't do it now, he would be able to refine it in one or two months. Months, if the cultivation level is deeper, it is probably about the same. At most half a year later, if I had shown Brother Cheng a five-talisman spiritual sword at that time, I really don’t know what Brother Cheng would have thought at that time.
There is also Senior Brother Xiang just now. When he meets Senior Brother Cheng, he also wants to call him Senior Brother. It is estimated that the best thing that Senior Brother Xiang has refined is the Four Talisman Spiritual Sword, but he is so stingy that he can’t even tell himself where to sell it, hum. Huh, interesting!
This is really like a group of blind people walking. If they carefully touch a wooden branch, they can use it as a crutch. Of course, they can move forward more smoothly and faster than those who can only fumble forward.
Although he was behind the crowd, he opened his eyes.
Comparing the distance with such a group of blind people is naturally boring, just like watching those senior brothers refine weapons after having the blue eye technique, it is even more boring! By the way, Qian Chao felt that the weapon refining technique was a bit boring.
Looking up, there were not many stars visible under the clear light of the bright moon in the middle of the night sky.
Qian Chao thought of the bronze carriage he took when he went to Youming Valley. That was the first thing that shocked him. How many runes could it be? It is estimated that none of the six runes in "Six Talisman True Meanings" are on it. After all, the purpose of a carriage and a spiritual sword are completely different. None of the six runes recorded in "Six Talisman True Meanings" can make the vehicle less than half the size of a woodshed The carriage inside is as big as a palace.
If you have a chance to see that carriage again, you must use the Blue Eyes Technique to look carefully at the runes on it.
Yes! As for runes, Senior Brother Cheng once said when he was telling himself the "True Meaning of Six Talisman" that the art of refining weapons is actually just a function of the study of runes. There are many ways to use runes that he has not learned and has never heard of. However, how can we lose the spirit of enterprising in the first place?
Senior Brother Cheng also said that the art of weapon refining evolved from the study of runes. Almost all runes can be used to refine weapons. There are only six runes in "The True Meaning of Six Talisman", and he has only learned these six. , the spirit sword refined by using three of them is extremely sharp. So what are the magical uses of other runes?
He also heard that Jiuxuan's rune science has three major branches. The first is weapon refining, the second is talismans, and the third is formation. These three branches are extremely difficult to practice, and they all take monks many years. I guess weapon refining should be the simplest. Otherwise, why wouldn't new disciples learn talisman making and formation techniques, and only let people learn the Five Elements spells and weapon refining techniques?
He had never seen a spiritual talisman made from the talisman technique, but he had experienced the formation. At that time, he and a few companions were trapped in the Little Five Spiritual Array. The strange symbols on the stone pillars he saw were probably runes, right? What are those runes, and why can they be carved on pillars and placed there to form a formation to take away people's spiritual roots? Apart from these, does the formation have any other uses?
I have been busy with the art of refining weapons for a while, and I only occasionally read the books I got from the library. The book "Wanyuan Guizang" seems to have said that the study of runes is about refining weapons, making talismans and formations. Basically, it's a pity that I only mastered six runes for refining weapons, and I still can't understand what this sentence means. Think about the vast collection of books on the first floor of the library. How many books have you read?
There is a book I have read called "Illustrations of Runes", which also records some simple evolutions of runes. There is a difference between the drawing of the same rune when it is used for refining weapons and when it is used to make spiritual talismans. However, There aren't a lot recorded in that book. I didn't expect that the runes that were originally crooked and obscure could evolve. It's really amazing.
However, the road must be walked step by step, so it definitely makes sense for the master to arrange for his disciples to learn the art of weapon refining first.
When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of the huge boat that his group took on the road from Youming Valley to the Inner Gate. The big boat was made of wood and was extremely huge. In the end, it was included in a painting by the senior. What's so mysterious about that big ship? Are there other ships on the painting in the hands of the senior? These are definitely very different from ordinary weapon refining techniques.
Thinking of wooden boats, Qian Chao also thought that even in the art of weapon refining, there are many categories, such as metal and stone weapon refining, and refining a spiritual sword by yourself is one of them. In addition, there are wood and bamboo materials, silk and silk materials, leather and armor materials, and muscle and bone materials. Many materials can be used to refine weapons. Those who have never even learned it themselves. Take this gold and stone refining tool as an example. I have only used green copper. I don't know what other materials I get from smelting ores for my senior brothers and sisters are used for. In addition, weapon refining is not limited to spirit swords. Speaking of which, spirit swords are the simplest type of weapon refining, using few materials and few runes. There are many complex and high-level weapon refinings that I don’t know how to do. There are so many things to learn!
With this blue eye technique, you can stand higher than others and see further, so why are you so pretentious? This blue eye technique was not stolen from others, it was obtained through hardship. God gave me it to study hard on these knowledge that I don’t understand. It’s ridiculous that I What about those weird years when you have a guilty conscience and take advantage of others?
Qian Chao, Qian Chao, since when have you become like a toad at the bottom of a well? One glance at the mouth of the well and you feel like you have seen everything in the world!
How ridiculous!
Qian Chao patted his forehead gently, raised his head and looked at the sky again. The moon was bright and round in the middle of the sky, and it looked like the mouth of a small well. It seemed that the boundless night around him was the middle of the well. It's so dark that only when you poke your head out from the moon can you see a patch of light.
Qian Chao returned to the Chengqi Hall again. There were too many things to learn, and he was not proficient in what he learned. Even if he mastered it, his cultivation level was still very low. Even if his cultivation level had improved, what could he do? You will learn more. How can you spend so much time to make things difficult for yourself?
Anyway, I don’t feel sleepy at all now, so it’s better to refine a few more spirit swords and think about which direction I should work in the future.
That night until dawn, Qian Chao refined several more spirit swords, all of which were four-talisman spirit swords. The appointment with the Crane Tower that he had agreed with Tang Ping was coming soon, and Qian Chao was going to give the sword in his hand to Tang Ping and others. Change the spiritual sword.
However, the gathering of several people that day could be modified first. I heard from Tang Ping that Brother Li's place is large and quiet. It is better for a few people to go to Brother Li's place to chat for a while before going to Helou, so as not to inconvenience the Helou where there are many people talking. .
Later, he waited for Cheng Qantang in that courtyard and showed Brother Cheng the first three-talisman spirit sword he had refined before returning to his residence.
As soon as he got back, he excitedly played with the spirit sword he had made for a while, but soon he was exhausted, so he had to go into the room, throw himself on the couch, and sleep happily all day long.
