After sending Tang Ping and Ruoyun away, Qian Chao remembered that Tang Ping had just said that Li Jian used bamboo sticks when teasing the wild bees. The stick sent by Song Yuan had a smooth end and seemed to be used frequently. Being held by someone's hand, he took out the wooden stick and held it in his hand. He danced it a few times, which seemed a bit interesting. However, what he thought in his mind was never confirmed, so he examined it carefully in his room. for a while. Then he went out and went straight to the library.
After today's commotion, Qian Chao estimated that Song Yuan would come to him if he found out about it. After Senior Sister Tao's troubles, he became more interested in the stick, and he thought about how to get rid of the stick before returning it. Do more research.
The sun was in the west, and when it was approaching sunset, Qian Chao came out of the library and returned to his residence.
Not long after entering the hospital, a white figure followed and landed lightly.
"Junior Brother Qian"
When Qian Chao looked back, it was Song Yuan, still dressed in white, standing gracefully behind him. If he didn't know that this person had such a bad reputation, people who met him for the first time would definitely regard him as a refined and polite person. The good young master.
"Senior Brother Song" Qian Chao said to himself while saluting that the gap in cultivation was too big, otherwise he should have noticed this person falling behind him.
Invite Song Yuan to sit down. After Qian Chao served tea, he heard Song Yuan say: "I had something to do that day, so I left in a hurry. I wonder if Junior Brother Qian has discovered anything about that thing in the past few days?"
Qian Chao waited for him to ask these questions, and quickly explained to him and asked him to take it away, so as not to cause any more trouble to himself. Just when he was about to speak, a red figure suddenly fell from the sky, and then a scent of powder filled Qian Chao's small courtyard. Before the visitor opened his mouth, Qian Chao said to himself: It's really lively, she's here too. It doesn't matter if she's here, I'll make it clear today, and don't bother her again in the future.
"What are you two talking about? I'll listen too, okay? Senior Brother Song." Tao Miao, who was wearing a pomegranate skirt, was standing in the courtyard pretty and charming. As she spoke, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. He looked at Song Yuan who was sitting there.
Song Yuan was just a little surprised when he met Tao Miao, but he was not as panicked as he was when he met the Fang sisters that day. He said helplessly: "Junior Sister Tao, you said it well that day, this thing belongs to me. You also agreed, so why are you so entangled in it in the end?"
Qian Chao didn't want to offend these two people. When he saw Tao Miao coming, he hurriedly stood up, filled a tea cup, poured tea for Tao Miao, and invited her to sit down.
"Speaking of which, I made a joke with Brother Qian today. Don't be angry with your sister. It doesn't matter if you are really angry. My sister will come to make it up to you one day."
Qian Chao didn't dare to answer this, he didn't even hesitate, he just lowered his head. Having suffered a loss once, he knew how powerful this woman was.
Seeing Qian Chao's behavior, Tao Miao laughed a few times and spoke again, but it was to Song Yuan.
"Yes, you did take this thing there that day, but who taught us women to be short-sighted and always fall for the fool of a pretty boy like you? Senior Brother Song, the three of us bought that picture together with spiritual stones. , but when I came back, I found that the income I earned from this hard work was not even enough to cover the cost of the drawing. Tell me, can I not be suspicious?"
Having said this, she looked at Qian Chao who was silent and continued.
"It was you who persuaded us to buy the blueprint. Senior Brother Song, me coming to you is actually nothing. We can also have a cup of tea with you. If it is Sixth Sister who comes to you in the end, what trouble will you have? Isn’t it bigger?”
Qian Chao noticed that after Tao Miao said this, Song Yuan seemed to stiffen, and immediately Song Yuan said: "Well, since Junior Sister Tao is worried, let Junior Brother Qian take out the Just talk about it."
When Qian Chao heard this, he didn't say anything. He just took out the wooden box Song Yuan left that day from his storage bag and placed it on the stone table, and opened the lid of the wooden box with one hand.
"What exactly is this thing?" It was Tao Miao who asked, but it was not Song Yuan who asked, but Qian Chao.
Qian Chao cupped his hands and said: "Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Tao, I am also ignorant, but I have also checked some classics for this matter. Although I am still not sure, but Senior Sister has asked, then Junior Brother, I will boldly make a guess. , in my opinion, this object should be a sword shed."
"Sword Slough?" Song Yuan and Tao Miao were both stunned, and then Tao Miao asked, "What is Sword Slaughter?"
Song Yuan also looked at Qian Chao with a questioning expression. Apparently he knew nothing about the so-called sword shedding.
"This sword is actually the sword left behind after the death of the sword cultivator," Qian Chao said. "For example, in our sect, Mu Xiufeng is a sword cultivator. In terms of spiritual roots, even sword cultivators have metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Among them, if the sword cultivator with the wood spirit root can find a suitable spirit wood, cut off a section or take off a section, nourish it with his own wood spirit energy on weekdays, and infuse it with the sword energy he cultivated when fighting, over time, not only This spiritual wood is stronger than gold and stone, and can be cut through hard and sharp objects without any disadvantage. What is even more rare is that it is connected with the owner's mind and can send and receive it freely.
In addition, this kind of spiritual wood also has another benefit. For example, the swords I refined, my junior brother, and Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Tao are also using the spiritual swords now. They are collectively called spiritual weapons. One day, the two of them break through the foundation building. Then the sword used after the foundation building is no longer a spiritual weapon, but a magic weapon. Then the spiritual sword used before can no longer be used, and will either be discarded or collected. Well, there are also the swords used by the seniors who formed the Dan, which are more mysterious and are called magic weapons. We have never heard of the seniors who formed the Dan still using the magic weapons used in the Foundation. But this is not the case with the spiritual wood used as a sword mentioned above. It can always follow its owner, first as a spiritual weapon, then as a magic weapon, or as a magic weapon. "
"How could it be like this?" Senior Sister Tao Miao asked in surprise when she heard this. Although her cultivation level was higher than Qian Chao's, she had obviously never heard of this statement.
"Junior Brother Qian, please continue talking." Song Yuanze urged.
"Well, even if you are a sword cultivator, just like other monks, if you are unable to break through the cultivation level and your lifespan is exhausted, or you are seriously injured and die in a fight, naturally..., and a sword cultivator who uses such spiritual wood as a sword will After death, this spiritual wood will become a sword." At this point, Qian Chao held the stick in his hand.
After Song Yuan listened, he looked at the piece of stick Qian Chao was holding in his hand and reached out with some hesitation. However, Tao Miao's hand was faster and he grabbed it and looked back and forth carefully.
"Junior Brother Qian is saying that this stick was once a sharp weapon in the hands of a swordsman?" Tao Miao looked at it curiously and asked hesitantly.
"Exactly" Qian Chao replied.
"No wonder, no wonder Senior Brother Song fell in love with it at first sight and must get it." Tao Miao glanced at Song Yuan when she said this.
"Hmph, then Junior Brother Qian, what is the use of this sword? Can it still be used as a spiritual sword?" Song Yuan ignored Tao Miao and asked Qian Chao the question he was most concerned about.
"Of course not. In fact, a sword like this is not very useful."
As soon as Qian Chao finished speaking, the two of them looked at him suspiciously.
"Well, maybe what I know is not very useful. The two senior brothers and sisters can naturally ask other senior brothers or ask the foundation-building senior brothers for more information. We cannot use this kind of sword shedding that I know of. , after all, the methods of our cultivation are very different from those of sword cultivation."
"Then...Junior Brother Qian" Song Yuan asked again, "How do you know this is a sword shedding?"
After he asked, Tao Miao also wanted to know. After all, Qian Chao was a junior at the second level of Qi Refining. This was the first time they had heard of this sword transformation.
