In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
In the secret room, Yuan Qing closed his eyes slightly, his face was neither sad nor happy, his whole body was shining with silver light, and he forgot both things and me. Suddenly there was a soft "click" sound, followed by a strong silver light, and then the sword roared.
After a while, the silver light dissipated, and Yuan Qing opened his eyes. There was a bright light, as if there was a sword light dazzling out. He stopped the spirit gathering array with a pinch, stood up from his clothes, looked at the gray spirit stones at the center of the array, sighed, shook his head and left the secret room.
After ten years of seclusion, Yuan Qing had only refined a small part of the sword embryo, and the more he refined it, the harder it became. Especially in the last two years, no matter how much it was refined, the little sword remained motionless.
Speaking of which, this spirit gathering array also consumes too many spirit stones. Non-medium-grade spirit stones cannot be activated. It costs eight dollars a year. In ten years, eight thousand spirit stones have been used in retreat practice alone. This was the fourth refinement. Thinking about the fifth refinement after that, Yuan Qing instantly understood why Wang Qing was so keen on "dividing the spoils".
After removing the magic circle and feeling the long-lost sunshine, the young man couldn't help but feel very good. Suddenly, a transmission note flew over, but it was a message from Wang Qing not knowing how long ago that he was going to retreat.
"Ling'er doesn't look like he's out of seclusion yet. Everyone is very diligent."
The young man walked to the halfway point of the bridge, took off the gourd from his waist, took a big gulp, and took a deep breath due to the alcohol. Then he stood quietly, looking at the lakes and mountains, and gradually fell into a trance.
After a long time, Yuan Qing came to his senses, waved his sleeves, turned around and went back to the house. Then, the clouds and mist gradually began to rise, and soon the lake was covered again.
After March, Miaomiao Lake.
A long crystal sword light moved in the air with extraordinary agility. After a moment, the sword light stopped and landed on the island, revealing the slightly thin figure of the young man.
The young man put away the Water-Breaking Sword, took off the gourd and took a sip. Then he returned to the bamboo house, picked up the book on the table, and read attentively.
In the past three months, Yuan Qing did not continue to refine the sword embryo, but took out the "Sword Classic" and studied swordsmanship.
Perhaps it was because of the clear mind of the sword that he could easily practice the art of integrating body and sword. Once used, the sword light was extremely condensed and extremely sharp. It's just that if you consume too much, with your current level of cultivation, using it at most four or five times will make your Qi Palace empty, making it difficult to continue.
He also understood the art of sword energy and thunder sound, but the sword energy in his body was not pure enough to be used.
After that, Yuan Qing began to study how to refine the natal flying sword.
According to the "External Chapter of Sword Weapons", the natal flying sword and the sword cultivator are connected by blood and share weal and woe, just like the natal magic weapon of a monk. It can be taken into the body and kept warm at all times. Once released, it will be extremely sharp and far beyond the ability of ordinary magic weapons to withstand.
Those who have reached the Sword Embryo Realm can try refining it. However, due to the large number of treasure materials required, complicated processes, and high requirements for the purity of mana, no sword cultivator has ever seen a natal flying sword in the foundation building stage. .
The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became. The requirements for spiritual flames, magic circles, and related magic formulas could not yet be met, but the boy did not recognize any of the dozens of rare minerals involved. I had no choice but to take out "Xuanyuan Tongjian" and start to take supplements.
After studying hard for several days, Yuan Qing's understanding of battle formation, alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making methods has been greatly improved. Some small methods such as invisibility, sound insulation, air control, and spiritual sound transmission have also improved. They are all easy to master, except for the Lingcao mineral vein, which is too complicated. I have only just memorized the minerals now.
The young man closed the book and waved his hand to display a field of minerals. There were more than ten kinds of minerals of different shapes, sizes and colors.
"Red blood copper, black iron, this is lapis lazuli, this is tungsten steel sand..."
Yuan Qing frowned and carefully identified them one by one. After a while, he discovered a fist-sized piece of Taiyin Black Iron and two large pieces of Black Ying Stone Mother.
Taiyin black iron is extremely strong and full of toughness. It is the main material for refining the natal flying sword, but such a small piece is not enough; Xuanying stone mother is extremely tolerant and can integrate many spiritual materials. It is An essential material for refining magic weapons.
Suddenly I heard a bell ringing, loud and clear, far and wide, and two more bells came after a moment. Yuan Qing immediately put everything away and headed straight to the main summit meeting hall with his sword.
When we arrived at the main peak, we saw more than a hundred people standing in the giant white jade square in front of the temple. They were either chatting with people they knew well or standing alone in silence. Yuan Qing chose a secluded place where the sword light fell, and waited quietly.
People were flying in one after another, and Zhu Ling'er and Wang Qing were also seen among them. Yuan Qing immediately called the two of them to his side using the technique of divine consciousness transmission that he had just learned. The two seemed to know what was going to happen, but they didn't want to say more. Only Yuan Qing looked confused.
After about a stick of incense, there were hundreds of people in the square, all of whom were monks in the foundation-building stage.
Then there was a flash of light, and a figure stood in the air. He was wearing a black Taoist robe, a black jade hairpin, and long sleeves. It was Xu Jingtian.
"I've met Senior Brother Xu." Everyone bowed and said in unison.
Xu Jingtian changed from his usual gentle demeanor to a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "There is a tide of beasts in the north. It is so powerful that it is destroying cities and countries, and wants to cut off the foundation of our human race. We monks should follow the example of our forefathers, slay demons, defend the way, and protect our people. Be thorough and repay the karma of the past.”
As soon as these words came out, except for some insiders, everyone else had solemn expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere on the scene darkened.
Xu Jingtian paused for a moment and continued: "Everything gained from slaying demons is his own, and the sect will not take any of it. At that time, the sect will open its treasure house, and all the elixirs, skills, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures can be exchanged based on merit. "
"Senior Brother Xu, why are all the Foundation Establishment disciples here?" A tall, muscular man who looked to be in his thirties asked respectfully.
"Thank you, junior brother, don't be impatient," Xu Jingtian glanced at the man and continued: "The head master and the elders of many sects have already taken the lead. Senior brothers who are all in the Danjie stage will set off in the near future. Those who are participating in the war will come here in seven days. The team is led by Junior Sister Bai Zhi and goes to the battlefield in a cloud boat."
"Listen to what my senior brother said, can you still not participate in this battle?" A middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, and a shiny face asked loudly.
Xu Jingtian glanced at this person and said coldly: "Participating in the war is voluntary, and the sect has its own tasks. However, we monks should face the difficulties. We are so weak and timid. Compared with ordinary skin, we have Why not practice Taoism!"
The man smiled, but his eyes were filled with disdain.
After his expression calmed down a bit, Xu Jingtian continued: "Okay, you can make your own decision." After saying that, the blue light flashed and disappeared.
Everyone dispersed in twos and threes, and Yuan and Qing also planned to go to Qingyuan Residence to have a detailed discussion. When he was about to leave, he saw a slightly fat middle-aged man in brown robes and a green-robed monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes walking side by side.
"Brother Wang, Junior Brother Yuan, long time no see." The two smiled slightly and said with cupped hands.
"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Li." Yuan Qing returned the greeting with a smile.
"Hey, you two are here too." Wang Qing replied casually.
"Li happened to complete his mission and return to the sect. Brother Liu's retreat was interrupted."
Liu Han saw Zhu Ling'er's cold temperament and asked, "Who is this junior sister?"
Zhu Ling'er smiled faintly and was about to answer, but Wang Qing took the lead and said with a smile: "This is Zhu Ling'er, Junior Sister Zhu. She is Junior Brother Yuan's, uh, best friend."
Liu and Li understood what was said and greeted him with smiles on their faces. Looking at Yuan Qing and Zhu Ling'er, they looked indifferent and admitted openly.
Seeing that everyone was familiar with him, Wang Qing felt moved and said, "We are about to go to Junior Brother Yuan's place to discuss the war. Why don't you two go with us?"
When Liu and Li heard this, they looked at each other, and then Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother Yuan still owes me a good drink, and today I just kill two birds with one stone."
Liu Han said in agreement: "Yes, Liu has been waiting for a long time."
Yuan Qing laughed after hearing this: "Junior brother was negligent, so I will make up for it today. I have enough wine!"
After saying this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, but Wang Qing seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously. Then the group of people took their multipliers and flew to Qingyuanju with Yuanqing.
When he came to the bamboo house and sat down, Yuan Qing took out two jars of peach fairy wine without saying anything and filled them for Liu and Li. Then he glanced at Zhu Ling'er, saw her nodding slightly, and poured her a glass. But he took off the gourd he carried with him, looked at Wang Qing and said, "Do it."
Liu and Li drank it all in one gulp, but the sweet and greasy taste in their mouths was really unpleasant, and they frowned but couldn't express themselves. Zhu Ling'er took a sip and looked at her expression, which seemed to be quite satisfactory.
"What are your plans for the beast tide?" Wang Qing put down the vermilion gourd he got from nowhere and said.
Liu and Li were still hesitating, but Yuan Qing said calmly: "Of course I want to go."
As soon as the words came out, Zhu Ling'er came out, and the others looked at him in surprise.
Before anyone could ask questions, Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said, "No one else, just follow your heart and ears."
Wang Qing frowned and wanted to give some advice, but Zhu Ling'er said softly: "Master has something to say, if you don't experience the killings, and don't know life and death, it is difficult to achieve the golden elixir."
"Junior sister is going too?" Wang Qing asked with a frown.
"Yes." Zhu Ling'er replied calmly, looking straight at Yuan Qing, unwaveringly.
Yuan Qing looked at Zhu Ling'er with tenderness in his eyes.
"Dong", Wang Qing put down the wine gourd and said loudly: "In that case, a certain family will also go! Huh, this opportunity to earn animal bone spiritual materials and meritorious spiritual stones has passed by and there is no such shop in this village! "
Li Yang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Junior sister Zhu is right, Li will go too." Then he turned to look at Liu Han and asked: "Brother Liu, how long have you been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building?"
Liu Han was about to answer, but then he realized what he meant. He pondered for a moment and said: "There is great terror between life and death, but there is also great opportunity. Liu will go too."
"Okay! Then the five of us will meet and see what this beast wave can do to me!" Wang Qing picked up the gourd and spoke loudly.
Zhu Ling'er and Yuan Qing also raised their glasses, but Liu and Li were the only two who looked embarrassed while holding their wine glasses.
Suddenly Liu Han's thoughts changed: "Brother Wang, Junior Brother Yuan, what kind of wine is in your gourd?"
The two of them laughed when they heard this, and Li Yang also understood and joked: "Okay, I'm drinking red flame wine, but I'm waiting for this Laoshizi Peach Immortal Brew! Why don't you take out the wine quickly!"
Wang Qing laughed and took out two jars of red flame wine. Liu and Li patted the mud seal open, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated. Then they toasted to each other and exchanged glasses. After half a day, they returned happily.
After everyone left, Yuan Qing dispelled the smell of alcohol, pondered for a moment, and left with his sword through the air.
Pingdingding, Tongbao Tower.
"Yue'er, get the chalcedony pill for me as well. Yes, and the Thousand Miles Instant Shadow Talisman, too." Chen Mu shouted loudly while stuffing various objects into the fingers of his hand.
"Master, do you have to go?" Yue'er asked sadly as she took the talisman and the elixir over.
Chen Mu touched the visitor's little hand and said softly: "Not to mention how many spiritual stones I can earn by going, my brothers alone will never let go of this opportunity to get ahead. If I don't go , How can this young pavilion master sit in the position in the future?"
"Master, you must come back! The slave family doesn't want to be left a widow at such a young age!"
"Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely come back intact, and I will meet you again then..."
...
Su family, ancestral hall.
A middle-aged man in a dark gold robe asked in a low voice to an old man in brown clothes: "Have you contacted the Netherworld Sect?"
"Master, when the time is right, Master Sima will lead everyone here."
The man nodded and then said, "Let Qi'er and Yi'er also go fight against the beast tide."
The old man bowed his head and said yes, then bowed and left.
The man turned around and looked at the ancestral tablet, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
Seven days later, Council Square.
More than a hundred monks in the foundation-building stage stood quietly, including five people from Yuan and Qing.
Suddenly there was a flash of white light, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old in white clothes appeared in mid-air, her face as frosty as ice. He glanced at the people below and then said in a cold voice: "Get on the ship and set off."
