After Xu Ke left, Li Muzi came to the hall.
"Meet my two uncles."
Li Muzi walked into the hall and bowed to Deacon Wang and Zhuang Yuting.
"Master Nephew Li, you're welcome, please get up quickly!"
The two of them quickly returned the greeting.
This is the direct disciple of the protector elder, the true successor of the sect. Even though her cultivation is still in the Qi training stage, no one is really stupid enough to treat her as a junior.
"Two master uncles, I came here this time actually under the orders of the master master."
After Li Muzi greeted the two of them, he went straight to the point and explained his purpose.
"Listen to the order!"
Deacon Wang and Zhuang Yuting bowed again.
"The real person in charge said that Xu Ke has made great contributions to the sect because his cultivation level is still low and he is young. It is not appropriate to reward him too much and his achievements should not be too public, so he is only rewarded with promotion."
"In the future, when he reaches adulthood and his cultivation strength increases, the sect will give him another reward."
"Everyone in Si Nong Palace must take good care of it and keep it in good condition without any loss."
Li Muzi conveyed the master's instructions seriously.
"Follow the order!"
Deacon Wang and the two men quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"The order has been announced, my nephew is leaving!"
After Li Muzi saluted the two of them, he said goodbye and left.
After Li Muzi left, Deacon Wang and Zhuang Yuting looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Xu Ke...what exactly did he do?"
Zhuang Yuting took a long breath and said, "According to the master's opinion, the reward for promotion to the inner sect is still 'not to be excessive', and... protect him thoroughly and make no mistakes. This is because the sect wants to support him for a lifetime." ?”
"It's really incredible!"
Deacon Wang also sighed: "The meaning of the master is very obvious. Xu Ke is young, and he is practicing the Little Five Elements Hunyuan True Art. There is no hope of building a foundation, and his cultivation potential is insufficient. The sect should not reward him too much, but plans to support him for a lifetime."
"With this posture, if Xu Ke has the talent of light and fire spiritual roots, it might be possible for him to be directly promoted to a true disciple this time!"
Zhuang Yuting couldn't help but gasped, "What kind of unprecedented event has this boy done?"
"Wait a minute! Take a look at this edict promoting the art of corruption!"
Deacon Wang picked up an order and raised it to Zhuang Yuting, "Do you think Xu Ke's achievements are related to this?"
"It's very possible!"
Zhuang Yuting took the order, took a look at it, and said, "Maybe Xu Ke discovered something special from the Corruption Technique, and then this thing was of great value to the sect, so he accomplished the extraordinary feat!"
"That's definitely it."
Deacon Wang nodded, "Back then, during the sect competition, he used the Corruption Technique in new ways, and now he has discovered some special uses. It is not impossible."
"This kid... is amazing!"
——
While Deacon Wang and the others were talking about Xu Ke, Xu Ke was counting the harvest.
This time I "went to the front line" and made a lot of money.
Not counting the two million spirit stones he received after selling the batch of beast materials, and not counting promotion to the inner sect, other gains were considerable.
The real master gave him a foundation-building spiritual sword and a book of sword-cultivation techniques that could help him achieve perfect foundation-building.
Peng Zhengqing sent a copy of the formation experience and a compass.
Li Muzi gave Xu Ke the broken magic weapon of the Black Fox Demon King, and promised to "come to her if you need anything in the future."
Now, after being promoted to the inner sect, the sect has issued three more magical weapons.
This harvest has been astonishingly huge.
"Others go to the battlefield to fight, but I go to the battlefield to make a fortune."
Xu Ke smiled and reached out to pick up the flying sword and sword art given by the master master.
This flying sword is not a pure flying sword that doesn't even have a hilt, only a blade. Its appearance looks no different from an ordinary hand-held long sword.
The blade is three feet long and the hilt is eight inches long. It has a hilt, a sword, and a mouthpiece. The hilt can be held with both hands. It looks like an ordinary melee weapon.
However, the sharp energy coming from the sword blade made people's hair stand on end, and the sharpness was impossible to look at.
The real master said that this sword technique is an art of qi sword. Perhaps, this sword is specially made to adapt to the art of qi sword.
Xu Ke stretched out a finger and pressed it on the blade. With a thought, he activated the extraordinary "Sword Controlling Technique", and a wisp of golden energy seeped into the blade.
This ray of golden energy slowly circulated along the spiritual lines refined in the blade. Xu Ke calmed down, sensed it carefully, and analyzed the structure of the runes in the blade according to the circulation lines of the sword energy in his mind. .
The rune structure in the flying sword is very complicated.
The sword energy circulated along the spiritual lines for a week, and the rune structure displayed was so complicated that Xu Ke was a little stunned.
After a while, Xu Ke figured out the rune structure in the flying sword.
The talent of "Dayan Divine Calculation", the extraordinary level of "Xuanmen Spells", and Xu Ke's knowledge of runes all took a long time, which shows how complicated the runes in the Flying Sword are.
After all the rune structures were analyzed, an extremely complicated rune structure appeared in front of Xu Ke's eyes.
This is a multi-layered three-dimensional rune structure.
The entire rune structure has nine layers and is shaped like a gem with eighty-one facets.
The nine-layer rune structure, looking at one layer alone, is very similar to the rune circle analyzed in the Yuanfu Jing.
Nine layers of rune rings?
According to Xu Ke's "Foundation Building Method", a layer of rune rings can build a foundation.
The nine-layered rune ring...could this flying sword be a spiritual weapon for perfect foundation building?
The master in charge is really generous.
This level of flying sword is second only to the magic weapon of Master Jin Dan.
Xu Ke thanked the master in his heart, and then focused on the structure of these runes.
The reason why foundation-building spiritual weapons are "spiritual weapons" is probably because of the structure of these runes.
The runes engraved in the magic weapon during the Qi training period are only single functional runes, while the foundation-building spiritual weapon has an overall rune structure similar to a rune ring. This is the essential difference between the two.
So, let’s derive it briefly.
To refine a spiritual weapon, or even a magic weapon, is to refine a specific rune ring structure inside the embryo?
This operation is the same as Xu Ke's original imprinting of rune rings in the bodies of Mountain Ape and Purple Skylark.
The rune ring structure in the flying sword reminded Xu Ke of something called "restriction".
A layer of runic ring structure is a layer of restriction.
Multiple layers of restrictions are combined together, from "spiritual restriction" to "treasure restriction", the spiritual weapon is refined into a magic weapon.
Expand your thinking and deduce it horizontally.
To upgrade a spiritual weapon to a magic weapon, you need to superimpose multiple layers of restrictions, from spiritual restrictions to treasure restrictions. So, does this also apply to spiritual practice?
A ring of runes condensed in the Dantian, which was promoted from Qi training to foundation building.
After the foundation is established, on the basis of this rune circle, multiple layers of rune circles are continuously stacked according to specific rules until the practice is complete, thereby promoting the golden elixir.
Perhaps, this is the "basic principle" of spiritual practice.
It is not difficult to verify this guess. There is also a volume of sword cultivation techniques that can be used to complete foundation building.
Xu Ke put down the flying sword and picked up the jade slip next to him.
This sword technique is called "The Sword Technique of Returning All Things to the Origin", and the technique can be described as extensive and profound.
The practice method of "All Things Return to Origin Sword Technique" is very similar to the practice of Qi training, except that sword practice does not train spiritual power, but sword Qi.
This sword cultivation method can produce sword energy with different attributes according to the spiritual root attributes of the practitioner.
If you have fire spirit roots, you can practice fire sword energy, and if you have water spirit roots, you can practice water sword energy. This technique is extremely universal and can be practiced with any spiritual root.
For a sword cultivation inheritance with such high universality and direct access to foundation-building perfection, why doesn’t the master master promote it in the sect?
With this question in mind, Xu Ke continued to interpret the exercises.
Then, Xu Ke immediately knew the reason.
"Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Technique", "Wanxiang" is only an external manifestation, it can cast sword energy of various attributes, but the core of the skill is still in "Guiyuan".
The minimum requirements for spiritual root attributes require complete spiritual roots of the five elements, so that the sword energy can be "returned to its origin", and the sword energy can be divided and fused at will.
Spiritual root is essentially a kind of "spiritual affinity".
The human body naturally has all five elements, but each person's "affinity" for a certain spiritual power is completely different.
Without the complete "spiritual affinity" of the five elements, that is, without the complete spiritual roots of the five elements, you cannot practice the "Sword Technique of Returning to the Origin of All Things".
Moreover... this sword art is a bit difficult to practice!
The minimum requirement is that the five elements of spiritual power are running at the same time, and the five elements of spiritual power are manipulated at the same time. Through complex operation lines, they are refined into the five elements of sword energy, and then interact and blend in the Dantian, and the sword energy returns to its origin.
If the spiritual root attributes are complete, it is best to use metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, dark space and time. Twelve attributes can be run at the same time to develop twelve different attributes of sword energy.
This is so fucking outrageous!
If Xu Ke didn't have the ability to break through the limits of "Xuanmen magic" and the talent of "Dayan divine calculation", it would be difficult to get started with practicing this sword art.
No wonder the headmaster didn't promote it in the sect. The threshold for practicing this sword art is too high.
"I'm afraid the Master didn't have much hope when he gave me this sword technique, and he didn't think I could master it."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "For others, it is difficult to get started with this sword art, but... I am different! I am cheating!"
Afterwards, Xu Ke carefully read the Qi training chapter of "The Sword Art of All Things Returning to the Origin".
Except for the complicated spiritual power running circuits and various difficult spiritual power manipulations, the essence of this sword technique is no different from the qi training method Xu Ke interpreted before.
Through the same twelve levels of Qi training, a runic ring structure was finally condensed, thus advancing to foundation building.
The only difference is that what comes out of practicing magic is spiritual power, and what comes out of practicing sword is sword energy.
In Xu Ke's view, sword energy is still spiritual power.
It's just a special way of operating spiritual power that is highly concentrated in a short period of time, with high-frequency oscillation and cutting characteristics.
After reading the Qi training chapter of Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art, Xu Ke opened the follow-up foundation building chapter.
It is completely consistent with Xu Ke's previous speculation.
The practice after foundation building is essentially to superimpose and combine more layers of "restrictions" on the basis of one layer of "restrictions".
Refining weapons means practicing Qi!
No wonder there is a saying in the cultivation world that "refining elixirs means refining oneself, refining weapons means refining qi".
I didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence before, but now I understand it.
There are three thousand avenues, different paths lead to the same destination.
The principles of spiritual practice are all the same.
Spells, spells and formations have the same principles. The principles of alchemy, weapon refining and qi training are also similar.
Xu Ke had a guess in his mind.
Perhaps the emergence of the art of weapon refining was initially just for practitioners to do "experiments".
Just like Xu Ke's foundation-building experiment, when practitioners explore the path forward for cultivation, they use the method of refining weapons to verify their own cultivation path on magic weapons.
If the magic weapon can be practiced, it proves that this path of practice is correct, otherwise it is wrong.
I see!
A smile appeared on Xu Ke's face.
It seems that the two skills of alchemy and weapon refining need to be learned as soon as possible.
Xu Ke is now the deacon of the inner sect. If he wants to learn skills such as alchemy and weapon refining, he doesn't need to find connections. He can go to the Scripture Pavilion in the Dharma Hall to find relevant books by himself.
Not yet, wait until the war is over, return to the sect and find the art of alchemy and weapon refining!
Xu Ke focused on the "Sword Art of Returning All Things to Origin".
Since the essence of sword energy is spiritual power, there is no fundamental conflict between majoring in the Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue and concurrently cultivating the sword energy of all phenomena.
The "Hunyuan Qi" cultivated by the Little Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue does not only include the five elements' spiritual power, but also contains other attributes of spiritual power.
This point is very similar to the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art.
Therefore, we only need to re-analyze the rune ring structure of the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Jue, and then integrate it into the rune ring structure of the Small Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue, so that the two techniques can build the foundation together.
It's just that... this requires continuous liver-explosion for many days.
It's still early to build the foundation. First, practice the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art to the highest level, and then keep pace with the practice progress of the Little Five Elements Hunyuan Zhenjue.
Picking up the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Jue and reading it again, Xu Ke calmed down and began to practice.
With Xu Ke's "Dayan Divine Calculation" talent, he has already calculated the practice method of running twelve kinds of spiritual energy at the same time.
In the running technique, twelve different kinds of spiritual energy flow into the body along the spiritual roots, and according to specific movement trajectories, the spiritual energy is continuously refined to generate various sword energy that exudes sharpness.
These sword energy flowed into the Dantian along the meridians, and then... blended into the Hunyuan energy very smoothly.
Just like water can merge into the sea, ice and frost can also merge into the sea, without any spiritual conflict, and the fusion is very smooth and natural.
This is better than Xu Ke expected.
Perhaps, the essence of Hunyuan Qi is higher than imagined.
The next practice will be even smoother.
Twelve kinds of spiritual power with different attributes are transformed into twelve sword energies, which run ninety-nine and eighty-one times in the body, and the exercise is completed in one go.
Since sword energy can be smoothly integrated into Hunyuan energy, can Hunyuan energy be transformed into sword energy?
Xu Ke tried to transform his own Hunyuan Qi into sword Qi by using the method of "one yuan transforming all phenomena".
It was a bit difficult to operate, but the sword energy was still successfully transformed.
"Difficulty in operation? This is not a problem! God rewards those who work hard, give it a try!"
As soon as the thought came out, all the experiences, insights, thoughts, and understandings that I had just practiced in the Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art were multiplied a hundred times and integrated into my heart.
"The Return of Everything Sword Technique: Seventh Level of Qi Training!"
Oh, it’s done!
