Daqizong

The main rudder of Qidian, the dojo of other courtyards.

On a desolate star near Xianmeng Cave.

The deacons of the Hall of Qi have already developed this place long ago, but they didn't take good care of it. They just filled the sea and leveled the mountains to create several wide plains for the experiment of Qi Dao.

At this moment, a group of people came to this desolate star and landed in the field full of deep pits and mounds.

This was bombarded by Qi Dao monks in Tianyan Academy with all kinds of magic weapons. At first, special deacons were arranged to fill in the gully and restore it to its original state. How did it go, anyway, after repairing and smoothing, after a few experiments, it was devastated and desolate again. If you have the time to take care of it, it would be better to smash the whole star, and just go to the powerful master to find another one.

But at this time, a group of monks flew to various corners of the stars, set up formation flags, buried formation treasures, and erected various formation foundations.

A huge shield covering the stars appeared high in the sky, and at the same time, thousands of sky-watching eyes emerged from the void, gathering like schools of fish vying for food.

All kinds of high-level war puppets and powerful masters also took their positions, covering every corner of this desolate star.

In less than a day, this place has changed from a deserted wilderness to a heavily guarded military secret.

Near noon, a golden glow emerged from the void, and as the chariot pierced the sky, Li Wan drove the Yutian Rong chariot and landed on the wilderness where everyone was waiting.

"Meet the Spirit Venerable..."

All the people waited to salute together.

"Exemption."

"Xie Lingzun."

After the ceremony, Li Wan got off from Yu Tianrong's chariot, accompanied by his wife Lin Jingshu.

Jiao and Zheng, two elders of the sixth level of the Dao Realm of the Water Demon Palace, and more than a dozen masters from the Tianyan Academy and the Good Fortune Academy also got off the other fairy speed cars early and gathered around Li Wan.

"Demonstrate here. How are you getting ready?" Li Wan asked the person on duty.

A master of the Tianyan Academy who was cultivated in the Dao realm quickly said: "Respecting Lingzun, everything is ready."

Li Wan smiled and said: "I don't want you to answer, let the fellow Taoists who are in charge of this matter answer, fellow Taoist Leng, I remember that this matter has always been followed up by you, how is it now?"

The monk surnamed Leng was called Leng Guhan, a very cold name.He is loyal and enthusiastic, and he said excitedly when he heard the words: "Zun Ling, we have successfully completed the development of the mortal weapon, and we can carry out experiments at any time."

"Then don't delay, proceed immediately." Li Wan said, "I want to see with my own eyes what the power of this mortal weapon is!"

"Follow the decree of the law!" Leng Guhan and the monks around him said excitedly after hearing the words.

Soon, everyone was invited to the east side of the plain.On a high platform of hundreds of feet that has already been prepared.

The tall tower, like a stone pillar, stands alone on the devastated land, appearing in front of everyone.It is a dilapidated wasteland.

The high platform has an excellent view, not only can you have a panoramic view of thousands of miles around, but also hang several huge sky-watching mirrors with crystal clear mirrors.Simultaneously reflect the scene of the star everywhere.

At noon, the sky was clear and bright, cloudless.

But with the people of Tianyan Academy.Taking out the odd-shaped saber, which was as wide and thick as a door, with a thick and long blade, from the treasure box enclosing it, the whole world seemed to be enveloped by a quiet and dignified aura.

The heavens and the earth have a feeling, and the vitality is moved by it, and there are bursts of dark clouds emerging from nowhere, turning into black mist all over the sky, covering the scorching sun.

The originally cloudless scene suddenly became dark.

"This is a high-grade Taoist weapon, the Underworld Dragon Sword!"

Full of pride and passion, Leng Guhan introduced to Li Wan.

"It took us more than a hundred years to finally understand the mystery of the law of the underworld that you bestowed by you, Lingzun. Using the forbidden talisman array, surpassing the induction of precious materials, we directly extract the death energy of the underworld from the sky and the earth, condense it on the blade, and refer to the unique method of Zhongzhou. The knife technique of the knife door and the knife piercing through the air is used as a technique to stimulate attacks..."

"We replaced the Artifact Spirit with the Tianyan Restriction. One-handed disposal, covering the rules of refining, condensing vitality, and cutting with knives, all of which are based on the use of monks under the Dao Realm. All are done automatically, without the intervention of the treasure holder. !"

"In other words, the peerless sword technique that this Underworld Dragon Absolute Sword can unleash is comparable to the supernatural powers of a Taoist cultivator, but it can also be controlled by the spiritual consciousness of a low-level cultivator!"

The law of cohesion, the mastery of weapon spirits, these various characteristics are nothing compared to the high-level magic weapons refined by Li Wan and all the masters present.

Almost all of them can do it.

It is the representative of the power of the traditional Qi Dao, the Lingbao Sect, as early as the Middle Ages, has participated in the research of cultivating Qi Ling, which replaces human hands, so that low-level monks can also control high-level magic weapons.

But all of this has a major premise, that is, high-level magic weapons must be sacrificed by high-level monks, and the treasure materials used must be precious!

Even before Li Wan, he established the Tiannan Qidao system, established workshops, and expanded production, but he could not escape this rule.

However, at this moment, under the guidance of Li Wan, Leng Guhan, the alchemy cultivators, succeeded in refining this high-grade Taoist artifact.

Leng Guhan then introduced the principle of this treasure and the precious materials used to everyone, and adopted techniques, and found that the entire refining process, just as Li Wan pursued, fully realized the controllable treasure materials, followable procedures, self-produced, free Daoyun.

These points are based on a well-known prophecy in the world of cultivation, that is, the era of cultivation has declined, and the end of the law is approaching. In hundreds of thousands, or millions of years, we will completely lose the Dao Yun and enter another world. born of the times.

Another point is that Li Wan feels that the system of the big workshop has matured, but due to the limitations of precious materials and refining techniques, Taoist magic weapons still need famous masters, and they cannot be separated from them. Serves and apprentices were mass-produced.

If we only break through the technological and technical bottlenecks and keep the treasure materials needed to refine Taoist artifacts, it is impossible to realize that everyone in the cultivation world is like a dragon, and all people, etc., have powerful magic weapons to use.

Therefore, to thoroughly decipher the mystery of the generation of Dao Aggregates, one can use the method of creation in the void to condense ordinary precious materials that do not contain Spiritual Aggregates and Dao Aggregates, and then use these precious materials as the foundation.Through various methods of synthesis and refining, the need to successfully replace the original precious materials also emerged.

All these have created the "Dragon's Absolute Sword" that is now displayed in front of everyone!

Leng Guhan received Li Wan's will, waved the command flag himself, and delivered the order. A foundation-building cultivator dressed in white and who looked like a deacon of the outer sect came out.

"Is this a foundation cultivator?"

"It's really going to be tested with foundation-building monks, but that's fine, a mortal weapon. It's based on mortals. If it's not for low-level monks who don't even have basic physical fitness, I'm afraid they will have to be replaced by Qi-refining monks, and they don't even open up. Ordinary people from Lingtian come!"

Around Li Wan, everyone was moved.

At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity was spontaneously born.

I saw the Foundation Establishment cultivator stepping forward, slowly approaching with the terrifying aura of the "Underworld Dragon Sword", and the whole one weighed more than a thousand catties.The huge sword as thick as a door was raised.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be feeling a bit strenuous, which shows that his weight is not light.

Seeing this, Li Wan immediately frowned.

Leng Guhan quickly explained: "Lingzun. It's not that we didn't know how to use the Ruyi restraint to reduce the weight. In fact, the original knife weighs [-] catties, and has the soul of a famous mountain. It is simulated by the thick Dao Yun. It is used to raise dragons. Soul, reducing it to several thousand catties is already the limit, and there is really no way to reduce it any further."

Li Wandao: "In this way, even with the restriction of Tianyan, it also restricts the use of low-level monks. This foundation-building monk is probably the body refiner you specially recruited."

Leng Guhan was a little ashamed, and Li Wan saw through their tricks at a glance.

But seeing that Li Wan's words were not harsh, Leng Guhan also knew that he was not really angry.

After all, the mortal weapon is still in the process of research and development, and various defects are inevitable.

They didn't underestimate themselves. In fact, it was already a miracle to be able to do so.

Leng Guhan hurriedly said: "Exactly."

While speaking, the cultivator who established the foundation had already raised his saber, suddenly urged Fa Gang, swung it violently, and slashed towards him.

"suddenly!"

In an instant, black smoke billowed, and the underworld dragon took shape. Thousands of free jets of black smoke turned into dragon-shaped saber air, and shot in all directions.

As the gray and black light and shadow passed by, the black dragon danced, and the sword was invisible, passing through the huge iron cages where the monks of Tianyan Academy were imprisoned nearby.

Long before the experiment started, they had arranged many magical cages of different sizes, far and near from the experiment center, where all kinds of monsters, ferocious beasts, spirit demons and other things were imprisoned.

According to Leng Guhan's introduction, some of these cages are only used for confinement without any protection, while some are magic weapons for protection, which have the defensive power comparable to magic weapons of different grades, such as treasures, spirit treasures, and Taoist weapons. .Moreover, those monsters, ferocious beasts, spirit demons and other things also have different cultivation levels and races, and have extremely complicated characteristics.

But under the slash of the underworld dragon's sword, almost all the creatures in the cage within a thousand miles were wailing and screaming.

Thick smoke billowed from their bodies, and the underworld dragon transformed into form and pounced in. All the vitality and aura was swallowed up in an instant, and then turned into a torrent, which reversed and returned to the underworld in the hands of the foundation cultivator. Above the Dragon Jue Saber.

The entire Absolute Sword became darker and colder, and its strange and powerful power infected the whole world.

Clang!

The foundation-building cultivator couldn't stand stably, staggered, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, at the last moment, he supported himself with one hand and leaned on the ground with his sword.

His posture also quickly changed from falling to half-kneeling, and finally he didn't make a fool of himself in public.

However, seeing this scene, no one laughed. Instead, there was disbelief on the face, as well as deep fear and excitement.

"Success..."

"It really worked!"

"The mortal weapon has become a reality!"

"I just don't know, can this thing be mass-produced? Or is it a short-lived tasteless thing that gathers all the wisdom and resources of Tianyan Academy?"

After many years under Li Wan's command, the craftsmen here have long been able to distinguish the difference between experimental objects and practical magic weapons.

The former is the gathering of all the wisdom and resources of a large force, and the top results of participating in the research represent the highest achievement of one force, while the latter is the secular embodiment of this achievement.

To be honest, if it is the former, such a sword of Hell Dragon is not terrible, there are some top masters in the heavens.It can refine a stronger and better magic weapon than it.

But if it is the latter, the meaning it represents is completely different.

Leng Guhan did not disappoint Li Wan and immediately replied: "We have figured out all the refining processes of this treasure, and we can definitely achieve mass production, and the manpower required does not exceed the level of a famous teacher, as long as we follow the steps and follow the map. , can be produced in batches.”

"Then how much does it cost?" Li Wan asked.

Leng Guhan hesitated for a moment.Said: "It's not easy to hesitate to synthesize treasures artificially, and the method to replace the spirit is also relatively expensive. Its cost is not much cheaper than normal Taoism."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, but for some reason, it was obviously a disappointing thing, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if this was in line with the law of heaven.

Only Li Wan heard the words.He frowned, even more dissatisfied than he had seen the flaws of the experiment before.

What he is most concerned about is the refining price.

"How much is it?" Li Wan asked coldly.

Leng Guhan was taken aback for a moment before he realized it.My tone just now was misunderstood, and I quickly said: "But this method is not easy, and it is better than searching for treasures everywhere. It is better to use rare and difficult to reproduce. It is conservatively estimated that the cost of the traditional refining method can also be reduced by half. above!"

"What? More than half... more?"

"Is this still a conservative estimate?"

"This... this is really going against the sky!"

Everyone was not surprised by others.Just surprised by this sudden reduction in cost.

Ordinary artifacts, cheap artifacts, popularized and promoted, everyone is like a dragon...

These seem to be nothing at first glance, but in fact, each of them is a big killer that can change the world. When combined, it will start to overthrow the tradition of the entire cultivation world!

"If you are given more than a thousand years to continue to study the way of artificially synthesized precious materials, how much can you reduce the cost?"

Hearing this, Li Wan finally showed a satisfied smile.

In fact, even if it is not for other reasons, this alone is enough to contribute more than double the profit of the entire system. This is an incredible pioneering work.

But according to his inference, this is far from the limit of artificially synthesized treasures, and the supreme supernatural powers of void creations still have great potential to be tapped.

Leng Guhan thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "I am confident that the cost will be reduced by [-]%, which means the cost will be about [-]% of the original cost!"

"Okay!" Regardless of the shock of everyone, Li Wan clapped his hands and applauded loudly: "If you can succeed, I will guarantee you enlightenment and enjoy the longevity of more than ten thousand years!"

He has a lot of wealth under his command, which is to be concentrated on such talents.

……

Soon, the mortal artifact experiment was over, but the aftermath it caused was far from over.

Some people laughed and said that Leng Guhan really had a wishful thinking, just by boasting a few words, he won a life span of more than a thousand years, and there will be a long life in the future.

After all, if he wants to preside over this matter, his wisdom and experience, as well as a large group of people under his command, need a lifespan that far exceeds that of a monk of alchemy, in order to do it.

But people who know the inside story are very contemptuous when they hear the words.

This kind of statement is completely envious and jealous. The contribution of Leng Guhan and his apprentices alone is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with some Taoist masters. Too much.

Li Wan really did this. After participating in the research and producing results, these masters who have devoted themselves to studying the way and improving the way, and in line with Li Wan's ideas, have become the most important intellectual wealth in the system.

It is rumored that Li Wan even has a plan to introduce such talents to the treasure world he developed and carefully protect them.

He doesn't care about these people's state of cultivation or mana, what he cares about is the understanding of Qi Dao and the depth of good fortune.

The attainments of these people's Qi Dao have already reached a level that ordinary people can hardly imagine. It is only reflected in the practice of Dharma Dao, which is still only in the realm of alchemy. Because of their ancient blood and roots, they cannot communicate with the power of heaven and earth, so they have not yet cultivated to become Dao.

But they have taken a different path.

Li Wan refers to this phenomenon as the study of things and extending knowledge. The way of extending knowledge is a kind of hidden learning, and it will not be reflected just because you have studied this way deeply. Others are stronger.

After gaining knowledge, it needs to be applied, so that it can turn from hidden to manifest and reflect its practical use.

"I'm afraid this is the future of the cultivation world, the embodiment of the way in the world of the end of the Dharma!"

"Actually, the cultivation world has evolved from Dao to Immortals, and from Immortals to Art, which has already reflected this change. Most of the previous great powers were inspired by the heavens and the earth, and the laws were conceived and born, and each of them was born into a god, possessing supernatural powers."

"But in the world of cultivation, these roots don't appear. It needs personal practice and continuous improvement to be reflected."

"How do you know that in the age of the end of the world, if everyone no longer has supernatural powers and mana, but needs other means to manifest?"

"But it is undeniable that supernatural powers and attainments on the path will never disappear, but they are manifested in different ways!"

"Whoever finds this way of manifestation will be able to grasp the lifeline of the times and stand on top of the heavens!"

Li Wanru was kind to the people around him, and these words also explained why he valued new talents like Leng Guhan so much.

Because these talents, in his mind, are equal to the Taoist monks of the new era, the real enlightened ones!

In contrast, he still despises those people or alien races who rely on the blood of the powerful and the legacy of the ancient strong to be promoted. Those existences are too dependent on the glory of the past. Once the world changes, they will immediately fall into the mortal world.

After another period of time, a news suddenly came out in the realm of comprehension.

The god-man attacked Tianlin Mountain, and a grand war between the god-man and the League of Ten Thousand Immortals was about to kick off.

And the fuse of this war turned out to be related to a fragment of the fairy world that fell from the ancient hometown of the fairyland! (To be continued..)
