"Is this how you train your telepathy?" a woman's voice asked from behind Li Jian.
The voice was already very familiar. Li Jian hurriedly turned around and saluted, and said: "I've met the seniors. Yes, I don't have any other good methods. As long as you don't go out, just use this method to practice."
Fairy Lengyue walked over, sat down in front of the desk, and glanced at the bamboo tube on the stone table. Inside was a tube of wild honey filled with sweet fragrance.
"This method is not bad. It's rare that you work so hard. Is this the product of your bamboo forest?"
"Exactly, this disciple always blindfolds his eyes and plugs his ears to get the wild honey."
"Well, this method is not bad. Just keep practicing like this. By the way, bring your sword and let me take a look."
After hearing this, Li Jian hurriedly took out a spiritual sword from the storage bag and handed it to Fairy Leng Yue with both hands. However, that spiritual sword was not his green bamboo branch, but an iron-patterned spiritual sword that Qian Chao refined for him.
Fairy Leng Yue frowned slightly, picked up the spirit sword handed over by Li Jian and looked at it.
"This one is not bad. You are at the third level of Qi Refining. You can use such a sword, but ordinary disciples cannot afford it. But this one is not what I want to see. You still have two bamboo branches. Use that one. show me."
After hearing this, Li Jian quickly took out the two green bamboo branches she was accustomed to, held them in her hands and handed them over.
"Well, it's these two."
Fairy Lengyue took the two bamboo branches and looked at them carefully. One was long and the other was short. They were both emerald green in color, and slightly a little heavy.
"I saw you using these two bamboo branches when I passed by before. How did you know about this method of materializing a sword?"
"The disciple didn't know it before, but he kept using these two bamboo branches to fight the wild bees in the forest. Later, he accidentally killed a bee-thief bird that came to harm the wild bees with the bamboo branches. Only then did he discover this Zijun If the young bamboo is infused with sword energy, it will be as sharp as a spiritual sword. At that time, the disciple didn't know why, so he told a friend who was good at weapon refining about this. Later, he came to me with a wooden stick. , told me that the wooden stick was a sword slough, and also showed a few books to the disciple. Only then did the disciple realize that his unintentional act actually matched one of our sword cultivation methods, but although the disciple knew this This green bamboo can be used as a spiritual sword, but the disciple does not know how to practice this method in the future."
Senior Li Jianjian, Lengyue, came to him and asked him for the two green bamboo branches. He knew that he must have been seen by this senior while he was practicing, so he simply told him everything, and he also expected it. This senior must have come here for his own practice, and he wanted to hear what this senior could teach him about the Green Bamboo Spirit Sword.
After listening to Li Jian's words, Fairy Lengyue nodded slightly. She was not worried that one of Mu Xiufeng's brothers secretly passed this method on to Li Jian, because now, among Mu Xiufeng's pill-forming monks, there are only a few who can use this method to materialize. There is no one who is good at swordsmanship, including her, Fairy Leng Yue. However, this child actually figured out this method on his own, which is really rare. Although he does not know the method of materializing a sword, and he wants to take this child under his sect, he cannot settle for the second best. Let's use an ordinary spiritual sword. So after accidentally discovering that Li Jian used this green bamboo as a sword, Fairy Lengyue returned to the cave and began to worry about this matter. She had to give the child some help in this matter.
"After I just learned that this is also a cultivation method, I was worried for a while. I was afraid that this method might be a forbidden or evil technique in our sect, which would be bad."
"How can it be like that," Fairy Leng Yue interrupted Li Jian's words, "This materialized sword is definitely not an evil forbidden technique, but a relatively unknown one among the sword cultivators in Mu Xiufeng and even the entire cultivation world. It's just a practice method. You just said that you got it accidentally. This is true. The seniors who have made the world famous with this technique did not specifically want to practice this technique in the beginning, but they were just like you. , I accidentally acquired this method, and then I never let it go, and then I gradually became famous by relying on this technique. It seems that people who don’t have some opportunities really can’t practice this technique.”
When Li Jian heard this, he bowed to Fairy Lengyue again and said, "Please tell me, senior, I have accidentally used these two bamboo branches to this point. Since they have combined our sword cultivation methods, I must continue." Those who continue to practice, but don’t know how to work on these two bamboo branches in the future, please ask the seniors for guidance.”
Fairy Lengyue smiled slightly after hearing this: "If you had asked me this before, I would definitely not have known about it, but since I came here for your two bamboo branches this time, I naturally got something that may be useful to you."
With that said, Fairy Lengyue took out a wooden stick that was more than two feet long and was translucent in scarlet color.
"Look, what is this thing?"
Li Jian took the stick and felt it was heavy and hard, with a faint smell of blood, but the stick was somewhat similar to what Qian Chao had shown him before.
"Senior, this...is this also a sword shedding? Where did this bloody aura come from?"
"Yes, this piece of wood is indeed a sword, and the owner of this piece of wood died under my sword," Fairy Lengyue said, looking at the scarlet stick in Li Jian's hand, "If I hadn't seen you dancing like this Two bamboo branches, I still can’t remember the guy I killed when I was building the foundation, do you want to hear about it?”
"Disciple is willing to hear the details."
"That was also many years ago. At that time, my cultivation level was still in foundation building, and I was sent to outside the sect together with several brothers and sisters in the sect. I remember that the place we stayed in had been safe and sound for many years. But one year, many nearby aristocratic families were attacked and some people died. Naturally, we had to start investigating this matter. I found that the people who were killed in the attacked aristocratic families were killed by those people. The perpetrators even took away the bodies. Although the bodies were found later, the bodies of those who died turned white and all the blood in their bodies was sucked away."
"What!" Li Jian frowned when he heard this. He lowered his head and looked at the wooden stick in his hand. It was scarlet in color and exuded the smell of blood. Could it be...
"At first we just thought we had encountered a powerful evil cultivator who was addicted to drinking the essence and blood of monks, so we searched there based on this idea, but in vain. Not only that, but we During the search, several more monks from small aristocratic families were killed one after another, and the death conditions were almost the same. It was obviously still the work of the evil cultivator.
But at this time, I discovered a doubt. It can be considered that I asked one more question at the time. I found that the spiritual roots of two of the monks who were killed were water spiritual roots. Could it be that the evil cultivator only drank the essence and blood of the monks with water spiritual roots? ? In order to prove this point, I went to several aristocratic families where someone had been murdered. It turned out that all the murdered monks, regardless of their level of cultivation, had water spiritual roots. With this discovery, several of us at that time After the brothers discussed together, they decided to gather all the Shui Linggen monks from nearby aristocratic families in one place. Firstly, they could protect them by gathering together. Secondly, this was also to lure out the evil cultivator. .
However, this method does not work. Those aristocratic families have conflicts with each other, and trouble will arise if they get together. Moreover, after we told this method, they were not willing. They only said that since it is the evil cultivator who only wants to deal with the water spirit root. If the monks take action, then they will definitely protect the people with water spirit roots in their families. After a few of us persuaded to no avail, we discussed again, thinking that those powerful families must be safe if they protect their own families. Yes, but those weak and powerful aristocratic families may become the targets of the evil cultivator. So we decided to divide them up and find a small aristocratic family with a water spirit root monk to protect them. Firstly, for protection. Secondly, they also looked for opportunities to capture the evil cultivator.
Now that I think about it, I was really careless at the time. I just wanted to catch that evil cultivator and stop him from doing evil. Unexpectedly, I suddenly angered him. Those aristocratic families were on strict guard, and he couldn't make a move for a while. He turned his attention to a few of us, especially me. You know, my spiritual root is also a water spiritual root. "
"What!" Li Jian was surprised when he heard this, "Did that guy..."
"Yes, he did want to take advantage of me later. Originally, the spiritual roots of each of our monks would not be leaked if we didn't tell others or let others test them, but the evil cultivator has a way of knowing, eh ,that's it."
Fairy Leng Yue said as she gestured to the wooden stick in Li Jian's hand.
"After all, I'm not its owner, but that guy said that as long as the person he wanted to harm had the right spirit root, this wood spirit sword would be able to sense it."
"I see. Then wasn't Senior in danger back then?"
"That's true. It's not only dangerous, it can be said to be extremely dangerous. At the beginning, none of us brothers expected that we were going to face a sword cultivator holding an evil sword. And I was alone at that time. , to deal with him with one person's strength.
At first, I almost suffered a big loss as soon as I took advantage of it. This evil sword was really powerful and weird. At that time, I didn't dare to strike with it. I fought with him in the middle of the night, and I could only see one streak. The scarlet shadows kept whizzing back and forth, but I could only parry frequently and had no room to fight back.
However, an evil cultivator is still an evil cultivator after all, and the method he used only made his evil sword powerful, but his own cultivation is still ordinary, just like a person with ordinary strength holding a big ax in his hand, although he dances It looks quite powerful, but after all, it cannot last long. I only discovered this after fighting with him for a while. After discovering this, I tried every means to consume his spiritual energy. After dealing with it for a long time, I wounded him with a sword while he was exhausted.
After I knocked down the sword in his hand, it turned into a stick. This surprised me. Later I interrogated this man. He claimed that his surname was Zhao, and he was the son of a small aristocratic family that had long since declined. The sword turned into a stick. The method is his family tradition, but he feels that this method is too slow, and always thinks of a way to quickly improve his cultivation. In fact, the practice method passed down from his family is also good, but It wasn't that fast, and some things had to be found by him through all kinds of hardships. He couldn't bear the hardship, so he had a wrong idea and went down a wrong path.
I said before that the monk he killed lost all his essence and blood. In fact, the monk himself only practiced ordinary swordsmanship, but he used his wood spirit sword to absorb the essence of the water spirit root monk. Blood, in order to quickly nourish the spiritual sword in his hand. His swordsmanship is not good or evil, but he has forcefully developed his sword into an evil sword. Look at this sword, it is still dark red in color. , hundreds of years have passed, but the bloody aura still lingers, and there is no telling how many people he killed with this sword. "
"Did those people...those water spirit root monks have their essence and blood sucked away by this sword?"
"That's right, the monk named Zhao originally wanted the sword to grow using a method of nourishing wood with water. Originally, if he could find some spiritual springs, he could nourish them with the water aura of the spiritual springs. His Wood Spirit Sword was the orthodox one, but firstly he was too lazy to look for the spiritual spring, and secondly he disliked the slow effectiveness of this method, and he didn't know where he got it from, so he actually used monk essence and blood with water spiritual roots instead. Nourish your own Wood Spirit Sword. In this way, the Wood Spirit Sword can indeed increase its power in a short period of time. However, this sword has become an evil sword. Fortunately, its master has died, so it became like this. At that time, the scarlet sword was like this. His sharp edge really made people afraid to attack him directly, and I still have lingering fears when I recalled the scene of fighting with him many times."
When Li Jian heard this, he looked at the wooden stick in his hand and placed it on the stone table. Unexpectedly, the owner of this thing was actually a sword cultivator who had gone astray, and he also had some knowledge about this sword. A bit of disgust. But what Senior Leng said that made him listen the most was the method she mentioned about using water to grow trees.
"Senior, don't worry. Although this disciple is stupid, he also knows that it takes many years to sharpen a sword. There is no need to be impatient. It is not easy to come to the sect, and it is a blessing for the disciple to come to our Muxiufeng. Therefore, the disciple will never dare to ruin his future with greedy and evil things. practice."
"Well, I have some ability to observe people. I am not telling you this because I am worried that you will take the wrong path in the future. Firstly, it is to increase your experience and let you understand the dangers of the spiritual world in the future. Secondly, "When the evil cultivator named Zhao was killed by me, his belongings came into my hands. In addition to this sword, there is also this." As she said this, Fairy Leng Yue took out another booklet and placed it on the stone table. "This book was also found on the body of the evil cultivator surnamed Zhao. It is called "Heart-Shaped Objects and Meanings". It is probably an inheritance from his family. I have read it, and it is all dignified and orthodox. It's a pity to say that the evil cultivator surnamed Zhao is willing to work hard according to the method here. Although he will have to suffer a lot, there is no hope that he can make a name for himself, or that he can be revived. Maybe that little aristocratic family, well, that’s a pity, if you do something wrong, you can never go back!”
"I'll leave this book to you. I don't know much about the method of turning a sword into a material object, but there are some methods in this book, such as using water to grow wood. If your green bamboo sword wants to grow with you in the future, you have to do it. There are still many things to do, and it is inevitable to be busy running around, but according to what is said in the book, if the power of this wood spirit sword is successful, it will be of great benefit to you."
"Thank you, senior."
"Speaking of the spiritual springs in the world, the best one is almost in our Five Spirits Sect. Do you know where it is?" Fairy Lengyue smiled slightly when she asked this question.
"This..." Li Jian thought for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly remembered the fluttering water droplets on Tianshui Lake, "Could it be on Yuhu Mountain?"
"That's right," Fairy Lengyue replied, "That spiritual spring can be regarded as the most precious treasure in the world, but you can't climb the Yuhu Mountain yet. Even if you have the opportunity to go to the Yuhu Mountain in the future, can you use that It depends on your luck to bathe your green bamboo sword in the spiritual spring. Ignore this for now. We sword cultivators can't aim too high. We have to accumulate bit by bit. As far as I know, there are some secrets outside the sect. There are a few spiritual springs that are quite good, but you have to find them by yourself, and it won’t work without a lot of hard work.”
"Disciples are taught."
