Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 121 A long way to go

Walking with the sword, he soon arrived at Wuminggang on the bank of Qingdu River.

Two and a half-step Youhuang monks couldn't take four people away with their swords. They still had to walk back on their feet along the 700-mile mountainous road, which would take at least a day, so they stopped at Wuminggang halfway.

In the nameless town at the end of the iron chain bridge, Ye Xiu, who had just returned to block the road, was killed again. This time it was really the 'eighth level ancestor'. I am afraid that no one will come here to block the road in the future.

In the inn in the center of the town, Tang Jingxuan took the elixir and rested in the room on the second floor.

In the hall, four tables were put together, with a row of long swords placed on them, as well as sword cases, clothes, pants and other sundries.

Zuo Lingquan landed in front of the inn and looked up to see Cheng Jiujiang holding a pair of trousers, looking at them carefully in front of the lights, and nodding thoughtfully:

"This seems to be a product from Yuzhilou. It is said to have the effect of protecting Yang and nourishing Yin..."

Zhao Wuxie sat across from him, carefully wiping sword oil on each sword with a look of disgust on his face:

"If you look at the pants worn by men, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Zuo Lingquan came in with his sword in his arms, put the two swords on the table, and said with a smile:

"Yeah, throw it away quickly."

Zhao Wuxie saw two new swords and quickly took them over to look at them.

When Cheng Jiujiang saw Zuo Lingquan coming back, he raised his hand and threw his pants aside, and said:

"I counted, plus the two I just got, there are three High Grade Spiritual Weapon swords on the table, of which Brother Lingquan took the Red Lady himself; one Middle Grade Spiritual Weapon sword was taken by Brother Zhao Family heirloom swords; ten Low Grade Spiritual Weapons, eight swords, a belt, and a sword case; one flying sword; the rest are all Law Weapons, mostly High Grade, no talismans, and a few ordinary elixirs. This table is probably worth tens of thousands of white jade baht, it’s really fat.”

Zuo Lingquan took a glance and saw that most of the things on the table were Zhang Yinfeng's. The red-haired old immortal's belongings were probably placed in Linglong Pavilion. He took out Linglong Pavilion, infused it with True Qi, and wanted to open it, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuxie shook his head: "Linglong Pavilion has restrictions, and you need to find an expert to break them before you can use them. You can just keep the things, there is no need to divide them. I came here just for revenge. It is enough to take the sword home and pass it on." .”

Zuo Lingquan definitely doesn’t mean to be exclusive:

"Revenge is revenge, and sharing the spoils is all about sharing the spoils. We are all fighting for our lives. How can we give up for nothing."

Cheng Jiujiang simply threw the black 'Mo Yuan' to Zuo Lingquan, and the 'Jin Zhou' with white cloud patterns to Zhao Wuxie:

"The idea of ​​dividing the spoils is to give to whomever can use it. There are four of us. Miss Tang has the first prize, so Linglong Pavilion is given to Miss Tang; 'Mo Yuan' is a water sword. We can't sell it after we take it, so naturally it will be given to brother Lingquan; brother Zhao. The five elements are close to gold, so this 'Golden Sun' is suitable; I use fists, so I can't use any of them. The remaining Low Grade Spiritual Weapon and Law Weapon are all mine, isn't that considered greedy?"

This classification is very reasonable. Zhao Wuxie is a swordsman. He is satisfied with being able to hold a suitable sword, so he naturally has no objection.

However, adding up all the remaining Spiritual Weapon Law Weapons, not a single High Grade Spiritual Weapon is worth much.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and threw his 'Moon-covering Double Swords' to Cheng Jiujiang:

"Now it's fair."

Cheng Jiujiang was not polite. He took the two swords, put them together with the messy objects, and began to observe them carefully.

Zuo Lingquan is also a lover of swords. He took out the sword 'Mo Yuan' and looked at it carefully by the light.

The Mo Yuan Sword is completely black, and the hilt is made of black jade. Its function is that there will be no loss when infusing True Qi, and it is faster than the wooden handle of the iron sword, which in disguise speeds up the speed and power of martial arts.

The blade is forged from black gold and is bright black in color. Water essence from the Qingdu River is added when the sword is forged.

'Water Essence' is the foundation of the Five Elements and the source of rivers. The Youhuang monks refine the attributes of the Five Elements into their own destiny. The most common choice is the Essence of the Five Elements, and Water Essence is one of them.

The Qingdu River is a large river that flows into the sea. Although the water essence it breeds is not as good as the essence from the four seas, it is still extraordinary. Just one or two ounces placed in the lake can turn the lake into a small blessed place rich in water transportation. Never rest for eternity.

The Mo Yuan Sword is a Spiritual Weapon, and it certainly does not contain as much water essence as one or two taels, but it does exist after all; as long as it is in the scabbard, the sword will accumulate 'sword energy' under the action of the water essence, which is equivalent to accumulating Power; the longer it is stored, the more powerful it will be when the sword is first used. If the time is long enough, it is not impossible to achieve 20% of the effect with 10% of the power.

Of course, to exert this effect, only monks with five elements who are close to water can hold the sword. If other five elements are used, the sword may be bifurcated and its power will be greatly reduced; and this effect is not suitable for frequent drawing of the sword. swordsman.

But what people seek in practice is immortality, and fighting with others only lasts for a few times. Generally speaking, it is still a rare and good sword.

Zuo Lingquan admired it from top to bottom for a long time, nodded slightly, put away his sword, and turned to look at Zhao Wuxie:

"Brother Zhao has finished his work, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Wuxie carefully polished the snow-white sword, as if admiring a peerless beauty, and responded:

"I have thought about it before. If I don't die in revenge, I will go back and travel with my master, strive to become a sword cultivator, and then go to the Central Continent Sword Imperial City and carve my name on the city wall."

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, his heart moved - Zhao Wuxie was only thirty years old and had already reached the fourth level of the Spiritual Valley. In today's battle, his swordsmanship was a bit inferior to him, but it was still far superior to ordinary monks. Those who can teach such a disciple are not ordinary people.

Zuo Lingquan hesitated and asked curiously:

"The master is a swordsman?"

Zhao Wuxie shook his head: "No. My master is just an Independent Cultivator swordsman. His cultivation level is not very high. He likes to travel all over the country in his life. I have learned about this aspect."

Zuo Lingquan didn't believe it, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. He just asked:

"What kind of practice is sword cultivation?"

Zhao Wuxie was a little surprised:

"You are so domineering in swordsmanship, but you still don't know what swordsmanship is?"

Cheng Jiujiang also understood Zuo Lingquan's background, shook his head and smiled:

"Brother Lingquan has been practicing swordsmanship in a small place for more than ten years. Apart from being handsome, rich, and good at swordsmanship, he doesn't know as much as me in other aspects."

Zuo Lingquan really didn't know much, so he naturally didn't refute this.

Zhao Wuxie also saw this after contacting him twice. He recalled it for a moment before explaining:

"The so-called sword cultivation is a variant of martial arts, but it is more extreme than martial arts. Martial arts cultivates both internal and external, and the purpose is to seek longevity; sword cultivation seeks to be 'invincible in the world', with combat power as the main component and longevity as a supplement, which is equivalent to Replacement of priorities. As for how to become a sword cultivator, Master said the key lies in two points, one is the 'Sword Heart' and the other is the 'Born Sword'."

When Zhao Wuxie said this, he looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"Brother Zuo, does he know what Sword Heart is?"

Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and said with a smile:

"In my opinion, it is estimated that Lao Tzu's sword is invincible in the world, but 'the action must be righteous, the pursuit must be righteous, and the action must be righteous.'"

Zhao Wuxie was slightly surprised and said with a smile:

"Everyone's Sword Heart is different. When I asked what Sword Heart was, my master told me that it was 'to forge swords for the way of heaven and kill all the monsters in the world'. What I was thinking in my mind was 'I want to be a swordsman'; left Brother’s situation is much better than mine.”

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and sighed: "Everyone can say nice things, but sticking to your heart and putting it into practice is the hardest part."

"That's right. If you can't keep your heart, the road will naturally be cut off. Master said that most sword cultivators in the world fail because of mental calamity, so cultivating the mind is more important than practicing swordsmanship."

"Oh... what about the second point?"

"The second key point of sword cultivation is to refine the sword into the 'original sword' after entering the Youhuang Realm. When monks in the Youhuang Realm refine the attributes of the Five Elements, they usually choose the five elements' origins such as 'Water Essence, Fire Marrow' and so on. Although there are high and low levels of things, these things will grow with the monks, and theoretically there is no upper limit...

...Refining the sword into a life object can increase the combat power to the extreme, but the disadvantage is that the grade of the sword determines the upper limit of future achievements, which is equivalent to exchanging the opportunity of immortality for the current combat power. "

Zuo Lingquan frowned when he heard this:

"So extreme?"

Zhao Wuxie nodded: "Yes, strictly speaking, they are all a group of martial arts lunatics. Ninety-nine percent of the sword cultivators in the world are stuck in the Netherworld Realm because they can't find a good sword. Sword cultivators want to seek immortality. Swords must be swords with self-generated sword spirits, because these swords can grow; but most of the swords with self-generated sword spirits are immortal weapons. There are only a few immortal swords in Yuyaozhou in total, and most of them are forged the day after tomorrow. You You can imagine how difficult it is.”

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and understood a little: "What will happen if we really can't find a good sword?"

"If the natal sword cannot keep up with the other five elements of natal swords, the five elements will be out of balance and the realm will be directly blocked. The only way is to spread the power and cultivate again."

Zuo Lingquan suddenly thought about it and said:

"It doesn't sound like swordsmanship is particularly good."

Zhao Wuxie waved his hand:

"How much investment there is, there will be great rewards. Although sword cultivation is too extreme, among all the cultivation paths, sword cultivation is unique in its combat power. With the natal sword in Youhuang Realm, a small realm is used to calculate combat power. . Moreover, sword cultivators don’t seek immortality, so they naturally don’t care about their lives. Ordinary cultivators will hide away when they encounter him. If he can understand the ‘Sword One’ again, he will be invincible. He will kill whoever he sees without any reason. "

Zuo Lingquan heard Shangguan Patriarch talking about ‘Jian Yi’ today, and he was still a little confused and asked:

"What is Jianyi?"

"One sword can break all kinds of magic, so it is called 'Sword One'. Most of those who know it are Celestial Immortal who are above the Jade level. With one sword, the mountains and rivers will change color. We are far apart, so don't think about it..."

…

The three of them sat in the inn lobby and chatted for a long time without realizing it.

At the end of his speech, Zhao Wuxie knew that Zuo Lingquan had to rush back to Shuanlong Port, so he didn't talk any more and turned to look at the Qingdu River outside:

"No more chatting. I sneaked out without telling Master this time. The big revenge has been avenged. I have no worries anymore and I have to go back."

Zuo Lingquan was still thinking about sword cultivation when he heard this and said unexpectedly:

"Are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Zhao Wuxie smiled: "That's how cultivation is, you are always on the road, and you have to leave sooner or later."

Cheng Jiujiang stood up and said:

"At least we got to know each other, how can we contact you in the future?"

"When you hear the name 'Southern Wilderness Zhao Wuxie' one day outside, you will naturally be able to find me; if you can't make a name for yourself, there is no point in looking for me."

Zhao Wuxie walked out of the inn, glanced at the north, walked towards the Iron Chain Bridge, waved his hand and said:

"See you again if we are destined."

"Goodbye."

Zuo Lingquan stood at the door of the inn, watching Zhao Wuxie go away, and sighed softly.

As the first friend he has met since leaving the mountain, Zuo Lingquan definitely wants to keep him.

But what Zhao Wuxie said is right. The road to spiritual practice is too long, and you have to walk it. If you stay for a short time, there will be no joy like seeing each other and smiling at each other again in the future...
