Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

Looking at the three objects that seemed to be damaged magical artifacts, Lin Xiu could roughly guess the origin of these things.

Not surprisingly, it should have been left after the death of the monks who were fascinated by the "Peach Blossom Miasma" among the five people at that time, otherwise it would not have been damaged so badly.It's just that I didn't expect the power of the peach blossom miasma to reach such a level, even the monks who can drive magic weapons in the late stage of Qi training have suffered a lot...

In retrospect, Lin Xiu was able to detect the miasma of peach blossoms and crack it. It was also a lot of luck. First, the five people knew that Lin Xiu was a disciple of He Guizong, and they were a little nervous at the beginning, which meant that they made many low-level mistakes; It's because they don't know that Lin Xiu is a teetotaler - the only thing Lin Xiu is confident about is that he won't be misled by peach blossom miasma; the third and most important thing is the existence of the "miasma-avoiding talisman".

If it wasn't for the "miasma-avoiding talisman" refined by the monks in the foundation building period, even if Lin Xiu realized the abnormality, he would not be able to break free. General ending.

After inspecting these damaged instruments, Lin Xiu turned his attention to the last object.

a book.

"Five Gods"

It can be seen that its original owner attached great importance to it. The booklet with more than ten pages has been turned into a bit of corruption, and each page at the back has different annotations. Not an inch of blank space.

It was also the existence of this book and his own problems that made Lin Xiu make a decision. In the mission report just now, he did not choose to directly report the complete process of the mission, but simply said that he found evil cultivators and eliminated them. That's all.

On the one hand, there is no way to explain how a mid-qi training disciple released that powerful "swordsmanship", on the other hand, it is so weird, but it really hits the "spell" that Lin Xiu needs.

After reading this book, Lin Xiu unexpectedly confirmed a reality: this "Five Gods Transforming Thoughts" is the magic of turning one person into five people in the Five Gods Temple, and it is also the magic that Mr. Qian mentioned before even if The monks in the foundation building period are also rare, and Lin Xiu is thinking about the technique of splitting the mind.

If it's just that, it's fine, the most important thing is - it is a spell that monks in the Qi refining period can practice!

After Wushen Peak and his party, Lin Xiu's demand for combat power reached a peak. His own cultivation method determined that he could not fight by mastering a variety of spells like other monks. After eliminating the costly method of removing talismans, The only things he can do are the original "pistol" spell and this "wooden puppet technique".

Among them, the "pistol" spell is affected by too many factors, and the level of cultivation alone is not so easy to pass, so the only thing left to choose is the puppet technique. There is also a master engraver, what kind of scene will that be?

Or maybe there is an extra coconut sheep in the back to shoot cold arrows?

It must be a different scene, and Lin Xiu would never have to take the risk of cutting off his way to swing the sword with serious consequences.It's not that Lin Xiu couldn't think of these things in the past, the reason why he didn't do it was because he couldn't do it.

In the foundation building period, it’s hard to say because we don’t know much about it, but for the monks in the Qi refining period, simply summoning wooden puppets and letting them fight according to their instincts is completely different from summoning wooden puppets to finely control their battles. It's okay to summon ten or eight of them casually, but the latter Lin Xiu almost used up all his energy just to control Ying to fight. Being able to take care of his surroundings at the same time is the result of long-term practice. On this basis, he wants to be like It is almost impossible to control the master or the coconut sheep to fight like Yingying.

Originally, Lin Xiu thought that this situation would not be improved until he stepped into the foundation building period, or even mastered the division of divine consciousness. However, the "Five Gods Transformation Thought Method" found on Wushen Mountain provided him with another choose.

Now Lin Xiu's only concern is that this "Five Gods Transformation Thought Method" seems to be a little evil...

First of all, it needs to be clear that spiritual consciousness exists in the group of monks who have cultivated at the foundation stage and above, and it is basically impossible to produce divine consciousness during the Qi refining stage, let alone differentiate the spiritual consciousness, so this "Five "Deification of Thoughts" is not a method involving spiritual consciousness in essence, but a tricky way to achieve similar results.

That is the power of "mind".

The power of "mind" is a rather idealistic concept. After removing those incomprehensible metaphysical content, the generalization is that a monk spends his spiritual attention on a certain object for a long time, and that object will be "spirited" by the monk over time. Infused with "mind and mind", at this time, coupled with the spiritual power of a monk, it can achieve a control effect similar to that of "spiritual consciousness" to another extent.

34. Sword intent

Just like the evil cultivator in the Five Gods Temple, except for "Liu Fugui" who is the main body, the other four people are manipulated by Liu Fugui with the power of mind and spirit to achieve the effect of confusing the real.

Of course, the disadvantages of this approach are also very obvious. First, the target impregnated with the power of mind must not have his own thoughts, so Liu Fugui chose to choose mortals with good qualifications from the village at the foot of the mountain, and kill them before proceeding. Dip dyed.

What's more, it is easy to have problems in this kind of impregnation process. Liu Fugui and Chen Daoshi are okay, but starting from Zhang San, both Li Si and Wang Wu have problems. Zhang San has mental problems—as The "incarnation" of Liu Fugui's differentiation, he easily exposed things that should not be said. If Taoist Chen did not intervene later, it is estimated that in his state at that time, he would be able to clean up all the conspiracy in one go.

But Li Si and Wang Wu are even more obvious. One died not long ago, and the other simply turned into a zombie. The cause of this situation may be either that Liu Fugui's own cultivation level is insufficient and forced to cultivate, or it is the existence of this method itself. ills.

With the superimposition of various factors, no matter how urgent the idea of ​​turning figurines into real people is, Lin Xiu will not dare to practice this method for a while.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiu still decided to solve the remaining problems on his body first.

The top priority is naturally how to continue practicing...

After packing up the things in the Qiankun bag, Lin Xiu took the three damaged artifacts to the Artifact Refining Pavilion, found a brother with a good reputation in the outer door, and asked him to repair them.

The senior brother didn't ask about the origin of these magic weapons, but looked back and forth with a superficial look of disdain: "This kind of rough refining method is really a waste of these spiritual materials."

Lin Xiu was speechless. After all, it is difficult for the strong to demand those casual cultivators who have no inheritance according to He Guizong's standard.

After looking at it for a while, the seniors of the Artifact Refining Pavilion put down the damaged magical artifacts: "It's okay to repair them if you want, but you need to consume a lot of spiritual materials and spiritual stones."

Since he still has Zhao Siming's family background in his Qiankun bag, Lin Xiu asked the price in a big way——

"Start with three hundred spirit stones."

--forget it.

Lin Xiu, who was unable to make a plan, simply put forward his true thoughts: "Senior brother, can I exchange these broken magical artifacts for a new one?"

Glancing at Lin Xiu, the senior in the Artifact Refining Pavilion frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, he hesitated before nodding: "Okay, just wait."

Not long after, the senior brother of the Artifact Refining Pavilion came back with a sword in his hand, and put it in front of Lin Xiu's slightly dazed eyes: "The name of the sword is 'Cracking Gold', and it is made of red gold mixed with sand and stone to refine Liuliu." It was formed in 36 days, three feet and six inches long, weighed ten catties, and engraved with the magic circle of "light spirit" and "sharp sharpness", which can be regarded as the highest quality in the magic weapon of the refining period."

Looking at this sword, Lin Xiu was a little dazed, not because it was bad, on the contrary, it was too suitable for Lin Xiu's needs, but if I remember correctly, I should have said nothing, right?

Looking up at the senior brother from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, the latter seemed to see through what Lin Xiu wanted to say, and said simply: "If the junior brother wants to ask why he took out a sword weapon in exchange, why don't you pay attention to what's going on around you first?" ?”

Prompted by his senior brother in the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Lin Xiu looked around and suddenly found a strange phenomenon.

Compared with the Foreign Affairs Hall and the Alchemy Pavilion, although there are fewer monks in the Refining Pavilion, it can be called very lively, but in the flow of many monks coming and going, there seems to be an invisible circle around Lin Xiu The aura is blocked, and monks always subconsciously bypass it when they pass by, even if they break into it for a short time, they will quickly escape.

"Junior brother, it's better to restrain this sword intent earlier. It's better for the outer sect. If you do this in the inner sect, it will be a provocation."

Opened his mouth, Lin Xiu still couldn't say anything in the end, he couldn't say that he didn't even know what happened, could he?But there is only one thing that can be confirmed, all of this is related to that sword.

"This sword can be regarded as an investment for the younger brother. If you have any needs in the future, you can come to the Refining Pavilion to find me, and just report Tie Ming's name."

Talking about the senior brother of the Artifact Refining Pavilion... Tie Ming stuffed the Cracking Gold Sword into Lin Xiu's hand, picked up the three broken magic weapons like collecting garbage, and waved his hands to leave.

After staying in the Artifact Refining Pavilion for a while, Lin Xiu still took the newly acquired magic weapon back, returned to the ground stove, and devoted himself to cultivation without saying a word.

The years go by...

Three months later, as the dusty door of the ground furnace was pushed open, a figure wearing a long robe and a long sword at his waist stepped out of it.

Taking a breath of the cool air outside, Lin Xiu exhaled the pressure that had accumulated for more than half a year along with the hot breath in his mouth: "It's finally over."

Just as Lin Xiu expected, relying on the newly acquired magic sword, Lin Xiu was able to practice again after a short run-in and adaptation, and because the material and forging method used this time were many times better than the fine steel sword. With the magic weapon as the carrier, the speed of spiritual energy concentration has been greatly increased. In three months, not only has the rhythm of cultivation been regained, but it has also been a blessing in disguise to break through the fifth level of Qi training and enter the sixth level of Qi training.

However, in Lin Xiu's guess, the reason why he was able to break through the fifth level of Qi training so quickly should be due to the influence of that sword. After all, that sword doesn't look like it can be issued by a disciple in the Qi training period. , It is normal to have occasional gains by analogy.

In any case, after eight months in total, Lin Xiu finally eliminated the sequelae caused by that sword attack, including the "sword intent" that escaped from his body and was restrained to Inside the "Cracking Gold" sword, waiting for the day when it will be released again... Even if Lin Xiu hopes that such a day will never come again, after all, it means that he has stepped into the dilemma of life and death again.

Thinking about the coming deadline of the Zongmen mission, Lin Xiu hesitated for a while, and finally moved towards the Sutra Pavilion.

Now that the situation on his body has been roughly dealt with, it is time to confirm some issues with Mr. Qian.

Half an hour later, the Sutra Pavilion.

Savoring the spiritual tea that Lin Xiu had spent in exchange for a spiritual stone, Mr. Qian still looked like an old god, answering the questions of this disciple who is not an apprentice but is better than an apprentice.

35. The Origin of "Hidden Sword Jue"

"The origin of "Hidden Sword Jue"? What is the origin of such a rough method? It's just a simple method of Qi training discovered by a bad old man while doing nothing. Why, what idea do you have to show against your puppets? ?”

Lin Xiu shook his head quickly, joking, he was almost not dragged to death by the sequelae of that sword, or at the cost of the "steel sword", if "Ying" was allowed to practice Tibetan swordsmanship, would it be okay?

However, from Mr. Qian's words, Lin Xiu also figured out a reality: "You created "Hidden Sword Jue"?"

After a dispensable "hmm", Mr. Qian looked at Lin Xiu strangely: "Why, what problem did you encounter?"

"Is it a problem... Mr. Qian, there is only one Hidden Sword Style in "Hidden Sword Jue", right?"

"Of course, I've told you many times. Hiding a sword and hiding a sword is all about 'hiding' rather than 'sword'. It's nothing to carry one around all day."

Speaking of this, Mr. Qian became a little annoyed again. In the past few years, he has often gotten angry with Lin Xiu about this matter, but this time Lin Xiu did not change the subject, but asked instead: "Mr. Qian, what if How about modifying the 'hidden sword technique' to become 'drawing the sword technique'?"

Without answering immediately, Mr. Qian's expression became serious: "You kid, don't do stupid things."

"……what?"

Pointing to Lin Xiu's dantian, Qian Lao said in a serious tone: "You have practiced "Hidden Sword Jue" for several years, and you are very clear about its nature and how it works. Essentially, this method is to aid in the condensing of the spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy in it is activated There can only be one outcome."

Recalling the sword he swung that day, Lin Xiu hesitated, "What result?"

"The spiritual energy is rampant, and the body explodes to death!"

"..."

The last trace of luck in my heart was crucified by these decisive words.

Combining Lin Xiu's own "personal experience", he can responsibly say that Qian Lao's words are not wrong at all, on the contrary, they are extremely apt. live.

What if the sword that was pulled out at that time was not the fine steel sword, but the "sword" formed by Lin Xiu's spiritual energy stored in his body for five years?

After a long while, Lin Xiu patted his cheek vigorously, and the smile returned to his face: "It's okay, I'll make you worry about Mr. Qian."

Knowing from Mr. Qian that the "Hidden Sword Jue" was created by the other party, and that there are less than ten outer disciples practicing this spell, more than half of them have gone down the mountain or died, and the other practitioners are also unknown. Lin Xiu is also completely desperate. I had the idea to tell my own situation.

If this "Hidden Sword Jue" has some incredible origins, then naturally there is something to say, maybe I have practiced and entered the sect to have that kind of situation. In this case, the sect will increase its opposition. Lin Xiu's emphasis, in disguise, reduces the difficulty of obtaining cultivation resources.

But this "Hidden Sword Jue" has nothing magical at all, and it was only created by an old foundation-building monk. If Lin Xiu really told his personal experience, it would be better than receiving it. The greater importance of the door is likely to be used as a "guinea pig" for various attempts.

This world is not a world where everyone is created equal. Just like the huge gap between mortals and immortal cultivators, the gap in ideas between lower-level monks and upper-level monks will only grow wider. In the eyes of those high-ranking Jindan stage monks, If you can discover a powerful spell by sacrificing a disciple in the Qi refining period, that would be a great deal.

After all, Lin Xiu no longer had a second steel sword that he had practiced for five years. Instead of waiting a few years for Lin Xiu to "hide the sword", the idea of ​​the upper-level monks was definitely to directly pull out the spiritual energy in Lin Xiu's body. Transformed into a "sword", it is easier and more straightforward to verify whether his words are true or false.

Coupled with the "Five Gods Transformation Thought Method"...

With this in mind, Lin Xiu cut off all thoughts of telling the whole story, and instead asked Mr. Qian something about that evil cultivator.

"Xinguo is located in the southern border area of ​​Xin, which is one of the areas where the Hegui Sect's deterrence is the weakest. It is not surprising that there will be evil cultivators, but basically those who have no inheritance, luckily took this road by chance The cultivator who has a lot of skills only has a few simple spells in his hands, and at most one or two magic weapons that are not very skillful in refining, as long as he is careful, it will not be a problem."

What Qian Lao said was similar to what Lin Xiu had learned from other senior brothers and sisters before, otherwise he would not have taken up that task at that time, but judging from Lin Xiu’s personal experience, the evil cultivator he encountered in Xinguo also Not at all like this.

Among other things, the "Peach Blossom Miasma" covering a mountain alone is definitely not something that ordinary casual cultivators can arrange. The "miasma-avoiding talisman" that Xiu carried on his body must have been turned into a handful of loess long ago.

The "Five Gods Transforming Thoughts" he practiced is also quite abnormal. It is obviously a spell that can be cultivated in the Qi refining period, but it can achieve the magical power that can only be achieved after possessing divine consciousness in the foundation building period.

And the words that the evil cultivator said at the end, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a lucky man who embarked on the road of cultivating immortality after pure luck, but more like a monk who was cultivated by a certain force. Besides, he He also knew in advance the news that Lin Xiu, a disciple of He Guizong, was going there. It is impossible to say that there is nothing crooked in it.

Considering the relationship between Mr. Qian and himself, although he didn't dare to say it directly, Lin Xiu still made a selective insinuation.

"An enemy sect?"

Looking at Lin Xiu strangely, Qian Lao shook his head and said, "No, there is no such existence in the south of the river, or in other words, there is no sect here that is eligible to be hostile by He Guizong."

These words, which were so confident that they were almost conceited, were normal when they came out of Qian Lao's mouth. Even Lin Xiu felt that this was normal.

When I didn't go up the mountain before, I didn't have much impression, but since Lin Xiushi became a foreign disciple, almost every time I go down the mountain, I can refresh my understanding of the overlord sect "He Guizong". What sect forces dare to confront He Guizong head-on?

In other words-

"Where's outside the border of Xinan?"

"Snapped--"

Hitting Lin Xiu's head with a ruler that he didn't know where, Mr. Qian wondered, "Why do you, an outer disciple in the Qi refining period, care about these things that the inner sect doesn't need to care about? Now you are the most important thing. The most important thing is to practice hard, don't think about those messy things all day long."
