Tell the truth.
Lu Zhong originally thought that the control of the magic weapon only needed to be controlled with thoughts.
But I never thought that it would require special practice.
Only by controlling the sword with specialized sword techniques, and then performing a basic sword move, can these sword moves be combined to form a sword technique in the popular sense.
From this point of view, using a sword is also a skill that takes time to explore.
The beautiful fantasy in Lu Zhong's heart was shattered, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
But no matter what, it is still necessary to buy a magic weapon, whether it is for self-protection or other purposes.
After he paid the spirit stone, he successfully obtained the Qingshuang Sword.
At this time, Wanbaoshan ordered the boy to bring a black stone covered with large and small slash marks.
"This is a sword-testing stone. How about you, Fellow Daoist Lu, use it to test your sword?"
Lu Zhongzheng had this intention, holding the hilt of the sword and slowly injecting spiritual power.
With a soft "buzz" sound, the internal magic circle of the Qingshuang Sword started to operate. Luminous lines suddenly appeared on the originally green sword body, and at the same time, white frost began to form on the surface.
Waves of white air slowly fell from the sword.
The temperature in the lobby immediately began to drop.
Lu Zhong's hand holding the hilt of the sword was so cold that he could feel a cold air pouring into his body.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the so-called Qingshuang Cold Qi.
"Ahem, it is not recommended that fellow Taoists hold swords while activating magical powers. It is best to use sword techniques to control them." Wanbaoshan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to cough twice to remind him.
Lu Zhong was embarrassed for a while, thinking that he was still complaining before.
The Qingshuang Sword even freezes its owner's hands, so how to use it?
But I never thought that my usage was wrong.
Under Wanbaoshan's guidance, he quickly learned how to control the Qingshuang Sword with his spiritual thoughts, and was able to use sword techniques to perform sword moves such as slashing.
"cut!"
Lu Zhong shouted softly, and the sword techniques in his hands changed.
The green frost sword floating in front of him moved in response to the sound, and a burst of spiritual light appeared on the sword, and it fell straight towards the sword test stone.
There was only a crisp sound, and the sword blade sank an inch into the stone.
No more, no less, just the standard power of a low-grade magic weapon.
Then he tried a few more times, and they were basically within this range.
"Yes, it is indeed a good sword!"
"Haha, as long as fellow Taoist is satisfied!" Wanbaoshan smiled while stroking his beard.
…
He returned home and closed the courtyard door.
He walked quickly to the living room and looked at the Qingshuang Sword excitedly for a while, then put it into his storage bag and turned to read the basic sword control tips.
The number of sword tactics is limited, only thirty-six in total, so they can be learned quickly.
It took less than an hour for Lu Zhong to remember everything.
But remember, remember, if you want to apply it in actual combat, you need to practice it to form muscle memory.
Otherwise, he would have been killed countless times with his slow squeezing speed.
Learning sword moves is a bit troublesome.
Although there are only a dozen or so basic sword moves, each variation of the sword move involves a combination of sword techniques, and there are requirements for the connection between different sword moves. There are hundreds of dazzling variations.
Strict correspondence and no room for error.
It was okay at first. To perform each sword move individually, you just need to write it down on your back and fumble a few more times.
Once he learned the connection and combination between sword moves, he immediately became in a hurry.
Either the wrong sword technique was pinched here, or there was a missing sword trick there, which caused the sword moves to fail to connect, or the Qingshuang Sword to lose control.
After his practice, the flowers and plants in the courtyard suddenly suffered a big disaster.
The practice lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until dark that Lu Zhong stopped sweating.
Sweating is not because you are tired, but because you are scared.
At this moment, he has initially learned how to perform basic sword moves, and has also mastered the connection and transformation of sword moves from chopping to thrusting.
In this way, it can be regarded as taking the first step in the way of swordsmanship.
"That's it for today's practice. The rest of the time we have to practice making talismans."
He put away the booklet of tips and started cooking.
…
In the days to come, Lu Zhong had one more item in his daily plan.
Persevere in practicing and making talismans every day. The former is the foundation of spiritual practice, and the latter is necessary for making a living. Review the three spells you have mastered, including the breath-holding and fire-raining technique. Then devote all the remaining time to practicing sword moves.
Occasionally, he would relax and go shopping after selling out his talismans on market days.
Or buy some novelty food to try, or go to see a theater troupe perform, or go directly to a restaurant to have a meal.
It is a pity that Jiangwei Pavilion had been destroyed during the first invasion of demon cultivators.
Manager Qin, who once offered a high reward for peach blossom mandarin fish, also lost news after the chaos.
Otherwise, Lu Zhongding would like to try the spiritual food there.
My life was going pretty well, so naturally I had other thoughts in my mind.
Lu Zhong has decided to buy a bottle of elixir and take it when he saves more spiritual stones.
Although taking elixirs will have disadvantages and cause erysipelas to accumulate in the body, it can quickly increase one's cultivation level.
Just looking at this advantage, you know that elixirs are absolutely necessary for Lu Zhong.
Otherwise, with his mediocre Four Spiritual Roots, his cultivation speed would be as slow as a tortoise, and God knows when it would take him to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Finally, after saving up half a year's rent, Lu Zhong bought his first bottle of pills.
Marrow Cleansing Pill, a kind of elixir with mild medicinal properties that can increase cultivation.
Pills are also divided into nine levels. Marrow Cleansing Pills are classified as first-level pills and are suitable for monks in the early stage of Qi refining.
Monks in the early stage of Qi refining can take marrow-cleansing pills, which can have a very good effect on increasing their cultivation. Taking one pill is roughly equivalent to one month of hard work.
The increase in cultivation level is not much, probably because it only sells one second spirit stone.
But even so, many casual cultivators in Qingliufang still can't afford it.
Unlike those casual cultivators who have not mastered the means of making a living, Lu Zhong quickly mastered the craft of making talismans with the help of the gray fog space, and was able to steadily and continuously earn spiritual stones by making talismans.
But even so, it was only after saving money for a period of time that I could grit my teeth and buy a bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pill.
It is extremely difficult for casual cultivators in the market to make money. They consume almost all their time and energy just to maintain their own survival, let alone save money to buy elixirs. They would rather save their spiritual stones and learn something first. A craft for making a living.
...
Taking elixirs does not mean just swallowing them. This is a waste of elixirs.
The correct way to take it is to run the exercises immediately after taking the elixir. The purpose is to absorb the spiritual energy released by refining the elixir, so as to make most of the spiritual energy of the elixir your own.
Lu Zhong took a marrow-cleansing pill and immediately started refining it.
This process lasted for three days before finally refining a marrow-cleansing pill.
Sensing that his cultivation level has indeed improved significantly.
According to this progress, he is confident that he can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining within two years.
"No wonder everyone is addicted to taking elixirs. It seems that the elixirs are really effective." Lu Zhong sighed with emotion.
At the same time, I had a hunch in my heart that I might not be able to do without the elixir in the future.
In addition, pills cannot be taken continuously and need to be taken at intervals.
This period of time is usually used for hard training, that is, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for practice, which can achieve the effect of refining spiritual power.
In this way, erysipelas can be resolved in the body.
