Yun Que was startled when he heard about artificial spiritual roots.
"Can Sister Nan be able to graft spiritual roots?"
Si Ruonan shook his head and said, "I can't do it, but someone can do it."
"Who is it?" Yun Que became more and more surprised.
If even spiritual roots can be grafted, the biggest obstacle between monks and mortals will no longer exist!
By then, mortals will also have cultivation!
"I don't know who it is, but I am certain that this person must exist, maybe within the imperial city."
Si Ruonan took out a small bronze mirror and said:
"This object is called the Reflecting Spirit Mirror, and its function is to reflect the spiritual roots. It is different from the large spirit-detecting mirror. It cannot detect the specific properties of the spiritual roots. However, I have added an additional ability. Based on the depth of the image, the spiritual roots can be detected.
The approximate age of the root is similar to the method of measuring bone age."
While reminiscing, Si Ruonan recounted a strange thing he encountered last year.
At that time, a young man came to her store to buy magic weapons. Since he had just used the spiritual mirror, Si Ruonan casually placed it on the shelf. The spiritual energy on the mirror was not dissipated, so the person's spiritual root was reflected.
The young man's spiritual root image is very weak, equivalent to that of a one or two year old child, but he is already around twenty years old.
Such a huge gap shows that this person's spiritual root is seriously inconsistent with his physical body. The only possibility is that he was grafted the day after tomorrow, so Si Ruonan concluded that the young monk was the successful person with artificial spiritual roots.
"Since there are indeed artificial spiritual roots, it means that grafting spiritual roots is feasible. I don't have any spiritual roots for experiments, otherwise I can help your friend with the Long Spiritual Root graft another spiritual root."
"Allowing her to become a double spiritual root, discarding the old and using the new, can alleviate the disadvantages caused by the dragon-elephant female body. It may not guarantee a normal lifespan, but at least it will allow her to live many more years."
Si Ruonan said with regret.
"What are the consequences of stripping off the spiritual roots?" Yun Que asked.
"You will die." Si Ruonan said solemnly: "Man-made spiritual roots must be tested by a large number of living people to have a chance of success. Simply stripping off the spiritual roots, no matter how strong your cultivation level is, will not survive for long. The method of successfully grafting spiritual roots,
It must be accompanied by a lot of death.”
Yun Que's eyebrows were always furrowed.
He never questioned Si Ruonan's skill in weapon refining, but she was not a murderer, so it was impossible for her to find so many living people to test.
Moreover, Han Jiao's dragon spirit root cannot be forcibly peeled off. If the spirit root is separated from the body, the person will die.
Unless she could find the master who had successfully created artificial spiritual roots in the imperial city and get the method of grafting artificial spiritual roots from him, Hanjiao still didn't have much hope of survival.
"A large number of deaths..."
While Yun Que was muttering, he suddenly remembered a place.
Mist Mountain!
He thought of the origin of the pile of bones.
The bones in the mountain may all be abandoned experimental subjects!
In this way, the twelve zodiac animal ‘Wuma’ who created the pile of bones in Wushan should be the originator of artificial spiritual roots.
Yun Que really didn't expect that,
Wu Ma, who had contacted him before, actually had a mysterious method of grafting spiritual roots!
The clue to Wu Ma's true identity is the man-made spiritual root monk who once visited the weapon refining shop!
"Sister Nan, do you remember that person's appearance?"
"Maybe I haven't forgotten the appearance yet. Just wait and I'll draw it for you."
Si Ruonan took out a pen and paper, meditated for a moment, wrote with spiritual energy, and quickly drew a simple portrait based on his memory.
The portrait is not exquisite, only the appearance can be distinguished.
He is a young man with an ordinary appearance, his only distinguishing feature being his deep-set eye sockets.
The moment he saw the portrait, Yun Que's eyes immediately darkened.
He knows this person!
Not only did he recognize him, but he also broke his teeth.
It was the Lei Linggen disciple who entered the Sword Palace at the same time as Yun Que, Huan Zhi!
After learning that Huan Zhi was an artificial spiritual root, Yun Que felt that he was getting closer to finding the Wu Horse among the twelve zodiac signs.
He had no clue about the twelve zodiac signs before, so he could only rely on the Si Snake Order to contact them. Each of them was extremely mysterious.
Now with the clue of eunuchs, the truth about the twelve zodiac signs finally has a chance to surface.
Before leaving, Si Ruonan gave the Yingling Mirror to Yun Que and told him a strange news.
"Since I have practiced the Heart Sutra of Controlling Weapons and am quite proficient in the art of refining weapons, I can feel a special aura of refining weapons in the imperial city."
"This aura is thick and obscure, gathering and dispersing at times. It is very strange. It is slowly rising year by year and becomes stronger day by day."
"It may be that masters are refining weapons in the dark, or it may be that unknown entities are plotting something. I don't know the truth about that weapon-refining aura, but I have a hunch that it will be very dangerous, so you should be careful."
"I will be careful." Yun Que asked more: "Where is the strange smell that Sister Nan said, have you checked it?"
"I've been there and walked around a few times. I didn't find anything unusual. The location is right over there."
Si Ruonan stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
It's in the direction of the Royal Palace.
At the end of the line of sight is the Emperor's Sword, which towers above all the towers.
Could it be that the dangerous aura that Si Ruonan sensed was related to the Emperor Sword?
Such thoughts flashed through Yun Que's mind.
The Emperor's Sword was the emperor's arbitrary act. If it could really be a ferocious blade, the emperor would have used it to kill barbarians, and there would be no danger.
After leaving the weapon refining shop, Yun Que returned directly to the Sword Palace.
Before returning to his residence, he was dragged to the main hall of the North Courtyard by Niu Bucai.
He said he wanted to give Yun Que a surprise.
In the main hall, Yun Que met the senior sister.
Xue Ziyi took out an old wooden box from behind. The material had faded, but it could be seen that it had been decorated very beautifully.
"Senior sister said that she would give you a flying sword that can be used by you. Come on, how about you try this Snow Mark Sword!"
Xue Ziyi opened the wooden box boldly, and inside lay a strange flying sword. It was as white as snow. When the wooden box was opened, bursts of cold air emitted.
Among the magic weapons, there is no situation where the power of the Five Elements overflows. Only magic weapons can dissipate the cold air!
With Xue Ziyi's financial resources, it is impossible to seriously give Yunque the magic weapon.
The Snow Mark Sword is only a top-grade magic weapon, but it is a little special. It was repaired after the magic weapon was damaged.
The predecessor of the Snow Mark Sword was a real magic weapon. After it was damaged, it was refined into a top-quality magic weapon by the elder of the North Dean.
Because of this characteristic, the Snow Mark Sword can be said to be the top-notch existence among the best magic weapons, and it can be called a magic weapon!
"What a sword!"
Yun Que grabbed the Snow Mark Sword, felt the cold air flowing in the sword, and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course it's a good sword, and it's a top-notch sword!" Ma Yong said with a strange expression next to him: "This Snow Mark Sword and the Master's Chenshuang Sword were originally a pair, and they are the relics of the Master's Wife.
, buried together with the master’s wife.”
The more Yun Que listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and asked in surprise: "Where did you get this sword?"
Niu Bucai on the other side smiled proudly and said: "Of course it was the senior sister who dug the grave and dug it out!"
Yun Que was speechless for a while.
This senior sister is so reckless that she even dares to dig up the grave of my wife.
Before it got dark, a ghostly face appeared in the center of the hall.
Today's grimace is very fierce.
Xue Ziyi and Ma Yongniu Bucai used all their strength to activate the magic circle before suppressing it.
But what did Yun Que think, why did he feel that the grimace was yelling at Senior Sister...
Counting the days, there are only two days until the sword fight.
The disciples of Sword Palace are gearing up to prepare for the annual event.
Yun Que is no exception.
After dinner, I went back to my residence and took out the ten golden pomfret fish bones that had been piled in the corner. I used these fish bones to exchange for a wisp of sword spikes from the main hall where I exchanged tasks.
Having heard about the sword spike for a long time, Yun Que got it for the first time this time.
The sword spike is azure in color and consists of nine tiny tassels with a knot woven at the top, making it look simple and refreshing.
Sitting in the room, Yun Que played with the sword spike he had just exchanged.
He gradually developed a strange feeling, as if there was a faint wisp of sword energy in this small sword spike.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, Yun Que's body suddenly stiffened!
The whites of his eyes instantly turned black at this moment.
The eye sockets seemed to have turned into pools of ink, filled with a strong aura of death!
