The senior who left behind the Inner Volume of the Soul Capturing Art and the Green Bee Sword was Shi Muyu, the thirteenth generation head of the Soul-Yielding Sect.
The Soul-Yielding Sect is located in the southern barbarians and inherits the way of ghosts. It has many disciples, and their cultivation level is almost all determined by "horcruxes". The so-called Horcrux refers to the magic weapon that captures and nourishes spirits. Horcruxes that can accommodate dozens of spirits are called "Ten Phases", and those that can accommodate hundreds of spirits are called "Hundred Phases". Looking at the world, Good "Horcruxes" are extremely rare. Skilled weapon makers can smelt magic weapons, but no one dares to claim to smelt "Baixiang". The production of "Baixiang" is equivalent to the "kiln change" in the process of firing porcelain. Uncontrollable and unpredictable.
When Shi Muyu joined the Soul-Serving Sect, the sect had already declined. It was oppressed by the Poison Dragon Sect and the Beast King Sect, and was not even worthy of recognition in the Southern Barbarians. The sect had only a few members, a lack of resources, and internal and external pressures. By the time of Shi Muyu's generation , has been passed down by a single line for three consecutive generations.
Shi Muyu is amazingly talented. He has spent ten years practicing his sect's spells and mastering them. He is better than his master. With his qualifications, he could have accomplished a lot. But it is a pity that the sect's classics and Horcruxes were not available for many years. The former ones were all gone and disappeared without a trace. Several of the most powerful spells of the Soul-Yuing Sect, such as soul-splitting, soul-possessing, and soul-refining, were lost. He was restricted by a bottleneck and could not go any further.
Before his death, his master passed on the position of sect leader to Shi Muyu, and told him to pass on the lineage of the Soul-Yuing Sect, and pass it on endlessly. Shi Muyu is a very knowledgeable person. He knows that in order to revitalize the Soul-Yuing Sect, he must first find the scattered classics and soul weapons, so he found a Taoist temple to convert to Sanqing, dressed up as a Taoist priest, and traveled around the world alone, looking for needles in haystacks. Going through all kinds of hardships and dangers, putting life and death at risk, it is never the original intention.
Shi Muyu used all kinds of means, no matter how big or small, he stole openly and secretly, and eliminated the rubbish to save the good. He only collected 20-30 of the sect's classics, and they were incomplete and full of problems. On this day, he walked to the river and looked at the river rushing eastward. He was shocked to realize that his beard and hair had turned gray. Twenty years had passed quietly. He was already old. There was not much time left, and Zhongxing campaign The hope of the Soul Sect is still slim.
After learning from the pain, Shi Muyu thought about the past and finally made up his mind to live in a cottage by the river. He thought hard for seven days and nights, pieced together the incomplete classics and the miscellaneous knowledge he had collected over the past twenty years, and compiled them into two volumes, inside and outside, named "Soul Capturing Technique". The outer volume records spells, detailing the methods of cultivating souls, searching for souls, and requiem. Soul separation, soul possession, and soul refining are also mentioned. Only their names are left for future generations to complete. The inner volume is Sword Techniques, which is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is the general outline of practicing flying swords, and the last four chapters are methods for cultivating magical powers.
Shi Muyu is not a swordsman, nor can he practice sword light, sword energy, sword silk, and sword spirit in the Soul-Captivating Sword Art. Instead, he has found a new way to integrate soul-capturing, refining sacrifices, soul-drafting and other techniques, aiming to absorb the spirit of the monster. Refined into the sword, the flying sword has various magical powers, which are comparable to magic weapons. Even if the cultivation level is insufficient, it can still compete with masters by virtue of the spirit in the sword. The advantage lies in quick success, not the path of sword cultivation.
To practice the soul-stirring sword technique, one must have a flying sword, a soul weapon, into which the souls can be refined, ranging from dozens to hundreds. The greater the number, the greater the power of the flying sword. It's just that the sword technique is easy to achieve, but the soul weapon is rare. Shi Muyu only has a drowning dagger left by his master, and the number of souls it can hold is limited, which is not enough to fully exert the power of the soul-absorbing sword technique.
God rewards hard work, or in other words, a pillow for sleepiness. Not long after, Shi Muyu found an excellent Four Soul Sword from the ruins of an ancient monk. Judging from the quality, it was a first-class "Hundred-Xiang" Horcrux. , extremely precious, but what puzzled him was that this flying sword could only hold four spirits, and its power was limited. He tried to refine the soul and found that the Four Soul Sword was very smooth in refining the first soul, just like a normal Horcrux. However, he was very picky about the second soul. Not just any soul could be refined into the sword. Be careful, your soul will be annihilated and all your previous efforts will be wasted.
After countless failures, Shi Muyu speculated that the essences refined into the Four Soul Sword should have a fixed combination, and it would be a waste of time to piece them together randomly. There are so many souls in the world, and the number of pairs of them that match each other is as many as the sands of the Ganges River, let alone the "four souls". Shi Muyu sighed with excitement. He did not think that he would be able to find a suitable match in his lifetime.
However, the Four Soul Sword gave him another inspiration. The more souls, the better. With a suitable combination, they might be able to exert extraordinary magical powers and power.
According to the Yihun Sect, there is a secret technique for smelting inferior soul weapons below the "Ten Phases". The demon pill is melted into the body of the device to form a "virtual position". One demon pill can form a "virtual position" and a "virtual position". "bit" can be refined into a spirit. There are many limitations to using this method to smelt a soul weapon. The most criticized thing is that the difficulty of melting multiple demonic pills into the body of the weapon increases exponentially. According to legend, the leading weapon refiner of the Yihun Sect can only go to Six demon pills were melted into the embryo, which was already an unreachable limit.
The "Dragon Slaying Technique" that was originally on the shelf and no one cared about it suddenly became extremely precious in Shi Muyu's hands.
At the beginning, Shi Muyu's attempt was not smooth. Item embryos are rare, demon elixirs are rare, and souls are even rarer. In addition, the physical properties of the three are different. Even the most inferior Horcrux has less than a 10% chance of being refined. Most of the time, It was all spent on collecting materials, and I worked hard for several years, but got nothing. Until one time, Shi Muyu was collecting animal bones in a town by the Ximing River. At noon, he dipped vinegar in the street and ate dumplings with garlic. The old dumpling seller scooped a bowl of dumpling soup for him and said, "The original soup has been transformed." Raw food”.
This sentence is like a ray of fire, illuminating the darkness and pointing out the direction for Shi Muyu to smelt Horcruxes. The weapon fetus, demon elixir, and soul must match each other. It is best to take them from the same type of monster, come from the same source, and have similar natural physical properties. , the fit is fine.
Shi Muyu went deep into the Kunlun Mountains, starting from the most common and simplest materials, using the bones of the blood python to make a device, melting two blood python demon pills into it, and crafting a python bone whip, a Horcrux with two "empty positions" , and then repeatedly ingested the spirit of the snake demon, and found that a blood python spirit paired with an earth-stepping snake spirit has the best effect. The python bone whip can crack mountains and rocks, and its power is amazing.
He was greatly encouraged and went on to refine a python bone whip, a Horcrux with three "vacancies". After ten years, he finally discovered that he had ingested a six-winged water snake essence, a six-winged water snake essence, and a blood python essence in sequence. The bone whip has all kinds of incredible magical powers, comparable to top-grade magic weapons.
The dawn is in front of us, but it is a pity that Shi Muyu is getting old and has a short lifespan. He has no time and energy to continue smelting Horcruxes and trying different soul combinations. He included the soul weapon smelting technique at the end of the inner volume of the soul-stirring art, sealed it in the cave together with the Four Soul Swords, placed restrictions, and left it until he was destined. Then he left the Kunlun Mountains alone and returned to the Southern Barbarians, inheriting the legacy of his master. Destiny, looking for high-quality and beautiful talents, to inherit the mantle of the Soul Service Sect.
Once he left, he never came back.
After reading the last line, Wei Shiqi was thoughtful. He rolled up the silk book handwritten by Shi Muyu and put it back in the storage bag.
The problems that troubled Shi Muyu were not worth mentioning to Wei Shiqi. The Four Soul Sword is equivalent to a long sword with four holes. It can be inlaid with Mal, Umu, Gur, and Farr to become a "Kingslayer", or it can be inlaid with Xia, Puer, Mal, and Lum to become an "Oath", but the first Once the first hole is inlaid with Mal, the last three holes must be inlaid with Umm, Gur, and Farr, otherwise, they will not match.
Those green years of fighting in front of the computer, the light of the screen illuminated the tired face, and the rapid click of the mouse echoed in the silent night. Wei Shiqi pursed the corners of his mouth and wanted to smile, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
