Chapter 861 Hundred Refining Techniques and Sword Seizing Techniques
The boy transformed by "Xiao Jiu" immediately nodded and pointed with his hand towards the top of his head.
Before Liang Yan could react, a cloud of white smoke floated up, holding the soles of his feet and flying upwards. The surrounding scenery was spinning. In just a moment, when Liang Yan opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the world.
Above the fairy tree.
The "Taixu Gourd" that Xiao Jiu transformed into is currently being held in his hands. Although it is no different from before entering, Liang Yan can already communicate with it after this trip to the gourd.
"Above the treetops."
Liang Yan raised his head and looked at the dense leaves. Without any hesitation, he directly used Qing Gong and climbed up the vines on the fairy tree.
In just half a cup of tea, he pushed aside the numerous branches and leaves and reached the top of the fairy tree.
I saw a vast expanse of mist here, and in the center of the top of the huge tree, there was a white auspicious cloud, and there seemed to be a figure sitting in the middle of the auspicious cloud.
"Is there anyone else here?!"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised. Although they were not far apart, when his consciousness got close to Xiangyun, he still couldn't see clearly the appearance of the person inside, and he couldn't help but secretly become vigilant.
However, the "Taixu Gourd" in his hand conveyed a clear intention to get closer to the figure in the mist.
Liang Yan hesitated for a moment, turned over his hand and took out a pill to replenish his spiritual power, drank it for himself, and then walked directly towards the man.
Ten feet, three feet, one foot.
After Liang Yan also walked into the range of clouds and mist, he could clearly see the figure inside.
On top of a huge leaf, I saw a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged with a kind-hearted face. Although he looked old, there was an aura of vitality all over his body.
The extremely rich wood-attribute aura surrounded him, and this aura was familiar to Liang Yan, because it was almost the same as the wood-attribute aura that Wuxin helped him collect from the fairy stone back then!
At this moment, Liang Yan's previous doubts were suddenly solved.
The Taixu Tianluo Fruit is obviously an innate Dao fruit that contains the power of space. Why do the immortal jade and immortal stones evolved from it have a trace of wood-attribute aura?
It turns out that the root of this wood attribute lies here!
Liang Yan understood it almost instantly. He slightly arched his hands towards the old man in front of him and said, "Junior Liang Yan, please see Senior Shu Ling!"
"Haha, you are not stupid!"
The white-haired old man smoothed his beard and said with a smile: "Yes, I am the true deity of this fairy tree. I also know the purpose of your coming here!"
Before he finished speaking, he looked at the "Taixu Gourd" on Liang Yan's waist.
Liang Yan was slightly stunned, thinking that this old man must be able to do calculations, but then he thought, "Taixu Tianluo Fruit" was originally a fruit on his branch, could this person actually have some connection with Xiaojiu?
Before he could speak, the white-haired old man seemed to have seen through what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "There is nothing surprising. You can think of me as a swordsmith. I spent countless hours forging the sword."
, and finally handed it over to this little thing on your waist. If it weren’t for its guidance, even if you came here, you wouldn’t be able to see me at all.”
"This old man is so wise, he can actually see through my mind."
Liang Yan's heart trembled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the tree spirit in front of him, so he simply spread out and said, "I wonder, senior tree spirit, can you condescend to enter this little 'Taixu Gourd' of mine?"
After hearing this, the white-haired old man raised his eyelids and said with a half-smile: "After entering your 'Taixu Gourd', I will become a part of your magic weapon. If I think about it again, I may not be able to control myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Yan's expression changed slightly. He really didn't expect such a result, but before he could say anything, the white-haired old man continued:
"Actually, it's not impossible for me to enter your 'Taixu Gourd'. I'm tired of staying in this dark ghost place. I really can't leave here with my own strength. But if it's with the cave in your hand,
With the combined power of spirits, we can really escape from here. However, you and I must make a three-part agreement."
Liang Yan didn't expect him to agree so readily. He was happy at first, but when he heard that he needed to make an agreement in three chapters, he couldn't help but become cautious. He cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, how do you want to make an agreement?"
"First of all, this is the first rule. You are not allowed to inquire about my origins at will, and you are not qualified to ask me to do things for you. I am just living in your gourd temporarily, and we don't interfere with the river."
"Okay, I agree!"
Liang Yan nodded in agreement without thinking. Now he needs to use the power of the Immortal Tree and Xiaojiu to escape from Hell, so he will naturally not object to this.
The white-haired old man nodded slightly, and then said: "The second rule is that if there is a wood-attribute spiritual object that I like, you must find a way to get it for me."
"This thing that can attract the attention of seniors must be extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth. With the strength of juniors, I'm afraid it will not be easy to obtain, right?" Liang Yan said hesitantly.
"snort!"
The white-haired old man turned his nostrils to the sky and snorted coldly: "You are a glib boy, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Don't worry, every time you get a wood attribute spiritual object that meets the requirements for me, I will
It will give you a benefit. As for the specific benefit, it depends on the value of the thing you bring. In short, you will never suffer a loss!"
Liang Yan's face lit up after hearing this, and he nodded immediately and said: "Since Senior said this, Liang will definitely do his best to help Senior find these wood-attribute spiritual objects."
"Yes." The white-haired old man's face softened a little, and then he said: "As for the third item, to be honest, the reason why I came to Jiuyou Huangquan alone and ended up being accidentally eaten by the Void Soul Devouring Beast is all
It’s because I’m looking for someone.”
"one person?"
Liang Yan was slightly surprised. If this person's soul is in Jiuyou Huangquan, wouldn't it mean that he has died and will enter reincarnation?
The spirit of this fairy tree actually wants to find a dead man!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take another breath of cold air. When he thought about the confrontation between the tree spirit and the Void Soul Swallowing Beast for tens of thousands of years, he felt even more unfathomable about this old man.
The white-haired old man seemed to be able to see through what he was thinking. At this time, he slowly said: "I have been searching in Jiuyou Huangquan for many years, but I have not found any clues about that person. Maybe this person is not dead at all. So this third point
The rule is, if you really meet the person I am looking for in the future, then when I leave, you must not stop me in the slightest!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a thoughtful look, and after a long while he nodded and said: "Since this is senior's long-cherished wish, then I will naturally abide by it, but junior also has a few questions, please answer them truthfully.
.”
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Since senior can enter the Nine Netherworlds alone, he must have first-class magical powers. Before I find that person, if I encounter any danger, can senior come to my rescue?"
"this."
There was a trace of embarrassment on the face of the white-haired old man, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't do what you want. Fighting with others is not what I'm good at, let alone fighting it in the belly of the Void Soul Swallowing Beast.
After tens of thousands of years of confrontation, it is even more difficult to fight with others now.
When he said this, he changed the topic and continued: "But I can give you a lot of unexpected help. As long as you can bring me the best wood attribute spiritual objects, you will naturally know my benefits!"
"That's fine!" Liang Yan nodded slightly, and he concluded the deal with this tree spirit.
"Hehe, your current strength is still too weak."
The white-haired old man looked him up and down again and said with a smile: "I know that you are the seed of human sword cultivator, and you are about to enter the sword pill stage. I can help you compress the sword to the extreme, and I can also help your sword.
Nangwen Yangjian Pills, these can be considered my first gift to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand to cast a spell, and saw clouds and mist billowing above the treetop. After a moment, a futon made of branches and leaves slowly floated into the air.
"Sit on it, use your sword techniques, and try to compress the sword." The white-haired old man said calmly.
After hearing this, Liang Yan didn't hesitate at all. He simply tapped his toes and jumped up onto the leafy futon.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, pinched the sword technique with one hand, and the Mayfly Sword flew out from his Dantian.
As soon as the flying sword appeared, Liang Yan began to use the skills of the "Tao Sword Sutra". The Mayfly Sword Gang glowed brightly, and countless green wood sword energy surrounded the flying sword, really like mayflies.
As his technique was running, streams of Yimu spiritual energy suddenly emerged from the futon under his seat, which actually complemented his own Aoki sword energy and merged with each other very quickly.
At the same time, the Mayfly Sword Gang, which was originally three feet long, gradually condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“It really works wonders!”
Liang Yan glanced over and couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
However, what he didn't notice was that the white-haired old man standing not far away had his eyes fixed on the flying sword the moment he saw him taking out the Mayfly Sword, and never moved away again.
The white-haired old man didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the Mayfly Sword. Perhaps he had already seen the previous battle under the tree.
At this moment, his eyes were complicated, seeming to be filled with nostalgia, regret, and even a trace of confusion. The various emotions were mixed together, and finally turned into a gentle sigh.
Naturally, Liang Yan couldn't see these expressions.
He is now running the technique with all his strength and putting all his attention into the condensation of Jian Gang.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
On this day, Liang Yan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the leafy futon, suddenly opened his eyes and fired several spells with both hands, all of which merged into a sword in front of him.
Looking at the Jian Gang again, it is only one foot long. The cyan light is as solid as substance, and countless sword energy is contained within it. It has clearly reached the limit of the Jian Gang stage!
"It's done!"
Liang Yan was overjoyed that he had finally mastered the sword within one foot!
He originally thought that this process would take several years, but with the help of the Immortal Tree Spirit, he did it in just one month!
At this moment, the white-haired old man who was standing behind Liang Yan had disappeared, and the huge fairy tree under him had withered cracks at some point.
If you want to follow Liang Yan out of Hell, you cannot take away the huge fairy tree itself. Only by leaving the fairy tree in the form of a pure tree spirit can you enter the "Taixu Gourd".
Just a few days ago, the spirit of this fairy tree finally got rid of its own shackles and plunged into Liang Yan's "Taixu Gourd".
At this moment, a crooked sapling appeared on the top of a mountain inside the gourd. This sapling was naturally the tree spirit himself.
The fairy tree spirit took root in the "Taixu Gourd", and Liang Yan's cave magic weapon already has all the conditions to be used as a sword pouch!
"The next step is to sacrifice Lian Jianwan."
Liang Yan sat cross-legged on the futon on the top of the tree and muttered to himself.
The Jianwan method is extremely rare. The reason why Gu Zhiyu left Nanchui back then was because none of the five major sects and the Qingyu Sword Sect had a method to practice Jianwan. He went to Antarctica to pursue a higher swordsmanship.
.
However, things went against his expectations. Before he could find the method of sword pills, he was forced to fall into hell and eventually died under the sword of the evil sword fairy.
Nowadays, Liang Yan does not lack this technique, because there are detailed techniques in the "Sword Fighting Chapter" of his "Tao Jian Jing".
In fact, the methods of practicing Jianwan are different in all the major branches of the human race's swordsmanship. Although the seeker is a member of the Taoist sect, he has both good and evil personalities, and many of his training methods are different. Therefore, they are left in the "Taoist Sword Classic".
The sword pill method also has two methods, one good and one evil.
Among them, the orthodox method belonging to Taoism is called "Hundred Refining Method".
As the name suggests, the "Hundred Refining Method" requires authentic Taoist spiritual power and the secret method of the "Tao Sword Sutra" to practice flying swords. Each "sword refining" takes several months, and can be practiced for about three to three times a year.
Four times, and after practicing the ritual a hundred times, you can get a "prototype sword pill".
This is the so-called "making a pill after a hundred refinements"!
According to this method, even if a talented swordsman monk is willing to give up his own training time, it will take at least more than thirty years to obtain a "prototype sword pill".
Then put this "prototype sword pill" into the sword bag and keep it warm for several years. When it is finally opened, the sword pill will take shape!
Although the "Hundred Refining Method" has a solid foundation, it takes a lot of time and is slow to practice. People who seek Taoism pride themselves on their unparalleled talents, so naturally they look down on this method.
So he created his own "sword seizing method" in the "Tao Sword Classic".
As the name suggests, "Sword Seizing Technique" is to seize other people's sword practice to shorten the time of each sword refining, shortening the original training time of more than thirty years to just a few years.
However, the training conditions for the "Sword Seizing Technique" are extremely demanding. Not only does it require that the swordsmanship of the person being snatched is higher than his own, but he also requires that he be able to resist the invasion of inner demons, otherwise it is easy to become possessed halfway.
But once the cultivator meets all the conditions, the sword pill he finally gets is only stronger than the "Hundred Refining Method".
