Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

60. Golden Sword

He Guizong's outer gate, the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

Lin Xiu, who walked silently into the Artifact Refining Pavilion following behind a group of juniors and juniors, looked inconspicuous.

The deeper the understanding of this world, the more Lin Xiu found that there are more commonalities between different worlds, just like the matter of "eating melons", it may be different for monks with high realms and long life spans, but for low-level monks For disciples in the qi training period, the matter of "eating melons" also has a freshness.

More than a year ago, the title of "Purple Green Twin Swords" attracted many fellows from the outer sect to flock to him, and he couldn't wait to come to challenge him and win the attention of the elders from the inner sect, but he almost disappeared in just over a year. , replaced by titles such as "Iron Fist Warrior" and "Crossing Linbei Legs", and the closer you are to the Dabi of the Outer Sect, the more frequent this phenomenon is.

At first, Lin Xiu was a little hard to understand this scene, but after Mr. Qian's explanation, he found that it was actually quite normal.

"The Great Competition of the Outer Sect is of little significance to the monks in the early and mid-stage of Qi training, so the sense of existence is not strong. It is normal that you have not noticed this before, but it is rare for the disciples who have stepped into the late stage of Qi training. There are some methods that can advance to the inner sect, how can they not want to participate in it when they have nothing else to do?"

"It is true that you can participate in the big competition just by your cultivation base and contribution, but it is not enough to stand out among 3000 people, especially if you are not strong enough to completely suppress others, you should first put your 'name' out there It is also a means to attract the attention of the insiders."

Lin Xiu couldn't help being speechless when he heard this: "Isn't this just hype?"

"Hype?"

"Uh, nothing."

……

Withdrawing his thoughts, he came to the familiar location of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, and saw Senior Brother Tie sweating inside without any surprise.

Noticing Lin Xiu's Tie Ming put down the hammer in his hand, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, walked up to him, took out a Qiankun bag from his body, and casually threw it over: "Everything you want is in it."

Seeing this, Lin Xiu first thanked him and then opened the Qiankun bag to count.

Except for the usual refining materials and various spirit plants and spirit wood, there is a square box about a foot long and short. After Lin Xiu carefully took it out, Tie Ming also opened the urn and introduced: "The name of the sword is Rongjin. ', made of three-forged red gold mixed with high-quality fire fused stone for 81 days, six inches long and three liang in weight, engraved with the "sharp" and "scorching flame" magic circle, it is unstoppable when driven by spiritual power, and it is also With scorching flames and burning, defensive magic weapons during the leisurely refining period will definitely not be able to resist, the only disadvantage is that it cannot be too far away from the body..."

Speaking of this, Tie Ming's tone could not conceal a trace of pain: "With such materials, it may not be impossible for the uncle in the foundation period to refine it into a top-quality magic weapon, but it has to be refined into this appearance."

Even so, Tie Ming still perfectly met all the requirements of Lin Xiu, the "Party A".

Use two fingers to carefully twist this "Melt-Gold Sword" which has no hilt and only the blade. The golden-red blade gives off a dangerous feeling just by looking at it. Just a little input of spiritual power will send a wave of heat rushing towards you. Come on, one can imagine what kind of pressure the person facing this "golden sword" will bear.

Satisfied, he put away the magic weapon that cost more than one thousand spirit stones, and facing Tie Ming's "sorrowful" gaze, Lin Xiu could only explain honestly: "Senior brother Tie's thoughts are also clear to the younger brother. If you really want to control a top-grade magic weapon, your spiritual power will be exhausted if you can't hold on for a long time."

Hearing this, Tie Ming returned to normal, and thoughtfully said: "That's right, with your 'Ziqing Double Swords' kendo cultivation base, if it wasn't for the Outer Sect Grand Competition a year later, why would you need to practice an extra one?" magic weapon."

... Do you really never forget the "Purple and Green Twin Swords"?

Just when Lin Xiu was about to say goodbye with a wry smile, Tie Ming stopped him: "Junior brother, stop."

Turning his head and casting a puzzled look at Tie Ming, the burly man hesitated for a while and then said: "It may not be appropriate to say this as a disciple of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, but if the junior brother is aiming to win the foreign sect competition , then pay more attention to one person.”

"Yes?"

"Lin Kang from the Foreign Affairs Hall."

Although the goal was not to climb to the top, but after all, Senior Brother Tie had good intentions, so Lin Xiu seriously wrote down his thanks, and then turned around——

"Junior brother stay behind."

"..."

"Hey, don't you want to know, brother, why a disciple of the Artifact Refining Pavilion knows so much about the Grand Competition?"

Looking at Senior Brother Tie's big, motionless hand on his shoulder, Lin Xiu forced a smile: "I would like to hear more about it."

This is the story of a frustrated swordsman, a silent disciple of making weapons... Well, let’s make a long story short, in short, it is a disciple who was given high hopes when he first started (because it was brother Tie Ming’s unilateral statement, so the authenticity is doubtful), One day, he was hit by an extremely talented disciple, and since then Feng Jian no longer has to be a disciple of the weapon refiner.

The owner of the story is naturally this Senior Brother Tie Ming. According to him, he once beat all the invincible opponents in the outer sect with a black sword, but broke down after meeting the disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall named "Lin Kang". Halberd, from then on he retired sadly and became an unknown disciple of the Refining Pavilion.

"Back then, brother, I was also walking across the world in white clothes with a sword in my hand. If Lin Kang hadn't taken advantage of me one day, I might not know now... Sigh, the past is too painful to look back on, so I won't mention it."

Glancing at Tie Ming's arm, which is not much thinner than ordinary people's thighs, and seeing his skin color comparable to that of the bottom of the pot, and his face that "is not angry and majestic", Lin Xiu felt that the "white clothes" The description of "sword" is still somewhat debatable.

"Having said so much, senior brother only hopes that junior fellow can do one thing."

Before Lin Xiu could refuse, Tie Ming had already said on his own: "In that outer sect competition, give that Lin Kang a hard lesson."

"This... there are so many participants in the outer sect competition, and the junior brother may not meet senior brother Lin."

"It's simple. With Lin Kang's level of swordsmanship, he can be sure of winning, but he won't be dismissed easily. As long as the junior keeps winning, he will always meet."

Isn't that even worse?

Thinking about his words, Lin Xiu asked tentatively, "However, with my junior's cultivation level, maybe he was defeated before meeting that senior brother Lin Kang?"

"Hahaha, Junior Brother, there is no need to belittle yourself. If you read correctly, you are about to break through the eighth level of Qi training, right?"

Lin Xiu nodded helplessly. If he had known earlier, he would not have picked this day. Normally, relying on the characteristics of "Hidden Sword Jue", if the cultivation level is not much different, it would not be easy for people to see through the realm at a glance, but when he is about to break through When the spiritual power fluctuates violently, it is easy to see through the truth.

For more than a year, what Lin Xiu has been doing every day is to cultivate and strengthen his combat power, in order to meet the outer sect competition a year later. Naturally, the realm is changing rapidly, and it won't take long to break through the eighth level of Qi training, which is why he was targeted by this senior brother Tie.

"With the cultivation base of the eighth level of Qi training and the amazing sword intent of the junior brother, there is absolutely a [-]% certainty that he can defeat Lin Kang."

The sword intent...it should be the one with the sequelae from the first time I "draw the sword", right?

If you can really master and use that "sword intent" freely, Lin Xiu will naturally be worthy of facing an outer disciple who is also in the late stage of Qi training. The question is whether Lin Xiu is crazy or stupid to compete in the outer sect competition." Draw the sword"?

If you really do this, you will be convinced that "you know if you will die with this sword, but I will die", either by yourself or by the hands of those seniors.

But looking at Senior Brother Tie Ming's performance, it seemed that he could not refuse, Lin Xiu could only vaguely talk about the situation, seeing Lin Xiu's performance, Senior Brother Tie Ming hesitated for a while, just when Lin Xiu thought it was another At the time of the story meeting, the senior brother of the Artifact Refining Pavilion suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it out——

"—Boom!"

Accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground, Lin Xiu took a breath when he saw the "sword" in front of him clearly.

Good guy, this thing is a door panel, right?

"This sword is the Hei Shen sword that the senior brother once criss-crossed the outer sect. As long as the junior brother can teach Lin Kang a lesson, this sword--is yours!"

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Lin Xiu tried his best to suppress the thought of refusing, and could only nod under the gaze of Brother Tie: "Brother, do your best."

Having said that, how did he "hold the sword in white" when holding this thing?

61. Tired

After the Refining Pavilion and his party, Lin Xiu, who returned to the ground fire furnace, also realized a problem in the episode of Brother Tie Ming.

For the outer sect competition, it is important to strengthen oneself, but knowing the opponent is also an indispensable part of it. After all, before the cultivation base is crushed, a little error in intelligence may determine the success or failure of a fight.

With this in mind, Lin Xiu began to inquire around the outer door while practicing, and learned a lot of news from a few acquaintances during the period.

Formation Pavilion, Mo Muqing.

After returning to the sect, this junior who had been stationed in Chongguo for several years without moving an inch finally passed the hurdle of the fifth level of Qi training. When Lin Xiu found him, he was already at the sixth level of Qi training. The new disciple asked about the formation, and when he saw Lin Xiu, he walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Brother Lin, long time no see."

"So does Junior Brother Mo."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mo Muqing, who learned of Lin Xiu's intentions, was envious of his real name. After all, there are not many disciples in Dahe Guizong's outer sect who can really participate in the outer sect competition. information held.

"If you want to say that there are a few people in the Formation Pavilion who have the intention to participate in the outer sect competition, and have high cultivation and fighting skills, among them Han Zinian, senior brother Han, even won the top [-] in the last outer sect competition. , if it wasn't for the lack of realm at that time, I would have already entered the inner sect."

"Insufficient realm... What was the cultivation level of Senior Brother Han at that time?"

As if he knew that Lin Xiu would ask this question, Mo Muqing smiled slightly: "12 years ago, Senior Brother Han entered the seventh level of Qi training, and now he has reached the perfection of the ninth level of Qi training."

Make sure your eyes are the ones you can't beat.

12 years ago, he was able to rank in the top 12 out of 12 outer disciples with Qi training level [-]. Now [-] years have passed, and the weakness in the cultivation base has been eliminated, and [-] more years of experience have been accumulated , one can imagine how terrifying this Senior Brother Han will be.

That's not all, Mo Muqing went on to say: "Actually, even if you don't participate in the outer sect competition, it is not difficult to enter the inner sect with Brother Han's formation level, but it seems that you have waited until now for the sake of shame."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu had some guesses. Maybe this Senior Brother Han was not purely out of shame. After all, 12 years is quite precious for a monk in the Qi refining period. It is more likely that it should be for the sake of revenge. That "Qi Refining Method".

According to Mr. Qian, not every inner disciple is eligible to obtain the "Qi Refining Method", but only those who enter the inner sect are qualified to obtain the "Qi Refining Method". 》, naturally it is convenient for the outer sect to go to the inner sect after obtaining this qualification, otherwise it would be a waste of energy to go to the inner sect.

After suppressing these thoughts, Lin Xiu resigned and left after learning some information about other Formation Pavilion disciples from Mo Muqing.

……

Foreign affairs hall.

When he was going to ask his junior sister to inquire, Lin Xiu unexpectedly discovered that there was another acquaintance who was on duty in the Foreign Affairs Hall.

"Brother Li."

"You are... Junior Brother Lin?"

The surprised expression was obviously Li Moxing who once asked Lin Xiu to popularize the existence of Lingshi.

Unlike when it seemed "unfathomable" in the past, Lin Xiu now can clearly perceive the cultivation level of Senior Brother Li, who is at the seventh level of Qi training just like himself.

In the same way, Li Moxing, who noticed Lin Xiu's realm, also slowly suppressed the surprise on his face, and replaced it with emotion: "I haven't seen my junior brother for a few years, but the cultivation level is really changing rapidly, and I may have to call him senior brother someday."

That's what he said, but Li Moxing didn't show much envy or jealousy. After all, Lin Xiu's cultivation progress is at best in the upper middle level in the entire Heguizong. Can tens of thousands of people in He Guizong be jealous?

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xiu directly explained his purpose of coming. Because he was also in the late stage of Qi training, Li Moxing also knew something about the outer sect competition, so he immediately explained in detail.

"I don't know about the others, but Senior Brother Zhao Yuxin from the Fulu Pavilion has had some contact with them. How can I say..."

Under Lin Xiu's expectant gaze, Li Moxing held back for a long time before he could say a word: "Very rich."

"What?"

"Literally, he's rich."

During Li Moxing's introduction, Lin Xiucai knew the existence of Senior Brother Zhao who was known as the "Boy Who Scattered Wealth" in the Fulu Pavilion of the Outer Sect.Among the outer sects of cultivating immortals, the fastest way to earn spirit stones is neither the Alchemy Pavilion nor the Artifact Refining Pavilion, but the Talisman Pavilion.

Just imagine, monks do have needs for elixir and magic tools, but not always. A elixir does not mean that they can be swallowed regardless of Sanqi 21, but they have to consider the digestive ability and the existence of erysipelas. Shanghe Guizong distributed pills every month, so the pills in the alchemy pavilion were more often used as a supplement rather than a "dinner".

The Artifact Refining Pavilion and the Formation Pavilion are even simpler. Everyone knows how expensive a magic weapon and a set of formations are. Without frequent battles, it is not easy to reach the point of needing to replace the magic weapon.

In this case, there is nothing other than talismans that consume the most in the outer sect.

From the "Breeze Talisman", "Dust Removal Talisman" and "Condensation Talisman" used in daily life, to the "King Kong (Sturdy) Talisman", "Light Spirit Talisman", and "Sharp Talisman" that almost every low-level qi training disciple has a set of in battle , and then to the advanced "Fireball Talisman", "Ice Spike Talisman", and "Rock Talisman"... From the first level of Qi training to the completion of Qi training, there are corresponding Talismans for almost every realm, and the scope of application is extremely wide.

Over time, the disciples of the Fulu Pavilion have become synonymous with "wealth", and as the one with the highest level of talisman making, Zhao Yuxin of the Fulu Pavilion has the nickname "Scattering Wealth Boy".

"Wait, if you earn spirit stones quickly, shouldn't you be a treasure-treasure boy? How did you become a money-scatterer?"

"Junior Brother, you don't know the fighting style of the disciples of the Fulu Pavilion. Their spirit stones are gathered faster by making talismans with one hand, and even faster when they are scattered."

Because they specialize in talismans, the disciples of the Fulu Pavilion are accustomed to using talismans whether they are daily or in combat. Not to mention the daily consumption, once the talismans are thrown out in battle, the power is naturally outstanding, but Na San The speed of money is also unmatched.

"Brother Zhao Yuxin's fighting skills are even more exaggerated. Some disciples from the outer sect have calculated that Brother Zhao consumes an average of three hundred spirit stones in one battle. If he uses powerful talismans, it is possible to use thousands of talismans. Over time, this 'boy who spreads money' 'The name of the name is naturally placed on his head."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu felt his stomach hurt again.

A disciple of the Formation Pavilion who had been refraining from entering the inner sect for 12 years and prepared to beat up children, a disciple of the Fulu Pavilion who completely smashed people with spirit stones, a disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall who could break Tie Ming's giant sword with a simple sword... ...It is conceivable that the students at the top are all slightly weaker disciples of this level, and they are definitely not much weaker. How can Lin Xiu, who has only been cultivating immortals for 12 years, deal with it?
