Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

Facing the weird eyes of the senior brother in the Refining Pavilion, Lin Xiu bit the bullet and agreed: "Yes, my junior has reviewed the many biographies in the Sutra Pavilion, and found that all sword celestial beings are true to the sword since childhood, and my junior dare not follow that Waiting for the predecessors to be on par, but also want to try it, let's start by casting this sword weapon alone!"

5. "Sword Demon, I want you to help me practice!"

Hearing this, the senior brother of Refining Pavilion not only didn't feel relieved, but his expression became even weirder.

There is nothing wrong with these words. It is normal for swordsmen to be sincere in swords. It is no problem to melt and cast swords by yourself. The problem lies in saying these words and trying to practice them. Outer disciples who haven't stepped in yet.

Seeing Lin Xiu's firm expression, the senior brother of Refining Art Pavilion didn't say anything. After all, every immortal cultivator has his own ideas. Even if he stops the other party now, he may not appreciate it. Why should he hate others for no reason? Just don't blame yourself after bleeding.

"According to the sect's rules, the younger brother is indeed qualified to use the refining furnace, but the only ones that can be used are the lowest-level garrison-level stoves on the periphery, is it acceptable to the younger brother?"

Naturally, Lin Xiu had no reason not to accept it, and he might not dare to enter those high-end stoves.

After briefly explaining the precautions, the seniors of the Artifact Refining Pavilion took Lin Xiu to the periphery of the Artifact Refining Pavilion... a remote valley almost outside the scope of the Artifact Refining Pavilion: "This is No. [-] The ground stove is seldom used on weekdays, except that you need to clean it yourself, the younger brother can find a clean place."

Lin Xiu quickly thanked him, and after sending away the senior brother of the Refining Pavilion, he stepped into it according to the sword at his waist.

After passing through the not very wide entrance of the mountain road, a heat wave came oncoming. After feeling the mixed aura, Lin Xiu was shocked and immediately quickened his pace.

Soon, a cave with a length and width of more than two feet came into view. The surrounding area of ​​the cave was paved with stone slabs of unknown material. It didn't feel hot to the touch, but rather cold.

In addition to that, there is the hole above to vent the hot air, and the core of the whole cave right below the hole: the ground stove.

The entire ground furnace does not occupy a large area. Except for the circle that restrains the spiritual energy and heat around it, there is only a hole that is no bigger than a human head. A gushing heat wave.

Taking a breath, Linxiu can intuitively feel the existence of the majestic fire aura and metallic aura in such an environment, even without taking Qi Gathering Pill, but there is a pungent sulfur smell mixed with these auras If nothing else, it should be "earth lung poison gas".

He untied the belt on his waist, and put the sword that had been with him for three months on the side of the stove. Lin Xiu sat in front of him and calmed down. Little by little, the practice formulas of "Hidden Sword Art" came to mind. Emerge in.

In the original "Hidden Sword Jue" practice, the practitioner does not need to find an extra sword. The so-called "hidden sword" actually hides the monk's own spiritual power. The human body is used as the sheath, and the spiritual energy is used as the sword. Continually shrinking and compressing—that is, "hiding the sword" until the internal savings are enough to break through the pass, and then continue to "hidden the sword" and continue to break through...

The cultivation of the entire "Hidden Sword Jue" is so monotonous, and in the process of "hiding the sword", the spiritual power hidden in the body cannot be used, otherwise the realm will fall, and the spiritual energy will collapse and die. Many disadvantages have been combined, so that "Hidden Sword Jue" has the advantage of speeding up the practice, but there are still very few monks who choose to practice it.

That is to say, Lin Xiu, who is obviously talented but has been stuck for three months in drawing Qi into his body, otherwise Qian Lao would not recommend this equally wonderful exercise to him.

In the initial practice, Lin Xiu mostly followed the train of thought of "Hidden Sword Jue", using Qi Gathering Pill to simulate a cyclone in his body to absorb the external metallic aura, turning himself into a "sword sheath" and continuously absorbing aura" Hidden sword".

However, as the practice time lengthened, Lin Xiu soon encountered the same "knowledge barrier" problem as when he introduced Qi into the body. With the lessons learned from the past, it would be logical to modify this exercise.

Can't imagine yourself as a boring "sword scabbard"?

That's easy, just find a real scabbard.

Can't imagine the aura of invisible matter as a sharp "sword"?

That's easier, just find a sword and insert it.

But in this way, a problem arises, if he cultivates like this, is he helping himself or the sword?

With this kind of confusion, after discovering that the spiritual power in his body had indeed improved during a practice, Lin Xiu ignored it.

It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.

I thought this kind of practice would continue, until I ran into a shortage of pills, and overheard that conversation by chance. Considering the weird situation when I was practicing "Hidden Sword Jue", Lin Xiu came up with this idea.

"Sword, sword, I helped you practice for three months before, rounding up to hundreds of millions of years, now you can barely be considered a mature sword, it's time to learn to practice by yourself and help me in turn."

Talking to himself, Lin Xiu held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and looked solemnly: "Sword Demon, I want you to help me practice!"

sword:……

Lin Xiu: ...

"Cough, just kidding."

After relieving the tension in his heart, Lin Xiu closed his eyes, and turned his attention to the cold dead thing through the right hand holding the sword.

It's the same as imagining a cyclone in the body before, except that this time the carrier has become outside the body, that is, the hundred-forged fine steel sword that doesn't even have a name.

On the first day, nothing came of it.

The next day, nothing happened

On the third day, as if he had gained something, a strange feeling grew in his right hand and spread to his body... Oh, it was just numbness in his hand.

On the fourth day, Lin Xiu felt like a fool.

On the fifth day, Lin Xiu was sure that he was a fool.

On the sixth day, the idiot planned to give up this stupid behavior, but he thought that he could only receive the Qi Gathering Pill tomorrow, and he had to pass through the Alchemy Pavilion when returning from the Artifact Refining Pavilion to the station in District C, and now he had to make another trip tomorrow when he went back... Lazy Cancer attack, stay one night longer.

On the seventh day, the day when the foolish behavior came to an end, after a morning of meaningless attempts, Lin Xiu let go of his right hand indifferently, intending to—

"Ok?"

Looking at the right palm still holding the sword hilt in surprise, Lin Xiu's first feeling was that he would not be disabled, right?

In the next second, with an extremely thin heat flow along the palm - the forearm - the arm all the way to his dantian, amidst the ecstasy of success and the confusion of not yet understanding the status quo, a hint of enlightenment came to mind.

Successful.

6. Is there a possibility, I mean possible

"Hiding the sword and hiding the sword is not about the word 'sword' but the word 'hidden'. The deeper you hide, the sharper the sword. Why don't you understand this truth?"

Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, outside the attic.

It is still the same position for thousands of years, and it is still the old man with white hair, but compared with the calm and breezy appearance before, the expression on Qian Lao's face is much richer now.

"Isn't it true that if you want you to practice "Hidden Sword Jue", you can become a sword cultivator and a sword cultivator with a third-level Qi training? If I were a sword cultivator, I wish I could chop you to death with a sword now, so as not to embarrass myself."

Lin Xiu, who has been together for more than a year, is no stranger to Qian Lao's bearded and staring appearance, so he simply changed the subject: "Qian Lao, there are still some unknowns about this puppet disciple..."

"Hmph, tell me."

Seeing this, Lin Xiu quickly raised the difficulties he encountered in his practice one by one.

"Puppet art can use spiritual wood as a medium to summon wooden puppets to fight with spiritual power, so can the shape and magical ability of wooden puppets be changed by shaping the spiritual wood?"

Glancing at Lin Xiu, Qian Laoshen said, "That's right, being able to think of this is considered a pass. The puppet summoned by the puppet technique depends on the realm of the cultivator's mana on the one hand, and is influenced by the medium on the other. The impact, the wooden puppet you summoned with a piece of ordinary wood can at best fight a monk at the first level of Qi training, but if you use spiritual wood that is more than ten years old, even a monk at the same level as the third level of Qi training can also fight. A brief counterbalance."

"Then what if I use spiritual wood that is more than a hundred years old?"

Qian Lao chuckled: "You will be sucked into sex."

"Ahem, just kidding, how could this junior act so ignorantly?"

"I trust the other outer disciples, but you..."

Seeing Lin Xiuqian shaking his head, the simple action already explained everything.

After that, Lin Xiu asked a few more questions about the difficulties encountered in the process of puppet training. When Mr. Qian explained carefully, he suddenly heard a strange question.

"Old Qian, is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that I first carve out a specific shape with spirit wood, and then the wooden puppets summoned later will change into a corresponding shape?"

It can be seen that Mr. Qian, with his rich experience in cultivating immortals, was stunned by this weird question, and it took him a long time to react: "This... I have never tried it, and it seems that it does not work according to the puppet technique. There are requirements for the appearance of this spirit wood, why are you asking this?"

"Ahaha, I'm just curious."

After a haha, Lin Xiu quickly changed the subject of this social death,

At this time, one year and eight months have passed since Lin Xiu crossed, and his cultivation realm also went from the first level of Qi training to the second level of Qi training, and the second level of Qi training to the third level of Qi training at a gentle speed.

If there is no accident, with the help of the improved version of "Hidden Sword Art", Lin Xiu should be able to successfully enter the fourth level of Qi training when the three-year period expires, that is, the realm of the middle stage of Qi training, and continue as an outer disciple. To continue cultivating in He Guizong, it's just that he needs to complete the tasks assigned by the lower sect from time to time.

Based on such a premise, Lin Xiu also began to consciously get in touch with attacking spells. After all, most of the outer sect tasks assigned by the sect are about collection or cleaning. At that time, conflicts with monsters and the like will inevitably occur. Even with a "Hidden Sword Jue" that can only be hidden but not put away, the result is not too bleak.

Apart from the "Hidden Sword Jue", which is a major exercise, the only thing Lin Xiu has left is this "Puppet Art". He simply diverted some of his energy from the cultivation of "Hidden Sword Jue" and devoted himself to this spell that he bestowed "high hopes".

Leaving from the Sutra Pavilion and returning to the Dihuolu where he had been staying for more than a year-it should be said that it is indeed the Refining Pavilion that is feared by many disciples like snakes and scorpions. Since Lin Xiu entered the place for more than a year, there has been no second person He ran to say that he wanted to use it, so that this place almost became Lin Xiu's private space.

In fact, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs. Artifact refining is not alchemy. The latter can make alchemy by himself and gain mana after learning it. The former can only make iron forging after learning it. Who can use it if it can't be called?And those disciples in the middle and late stages of Qi training have better ground stoves to choose from, so there is no need to find such a little-known ground stove in the periphery, and Lin Xiu took advantage of various factors.

However, this cheap price may not last long. The three-year period is one thing. The most important thing is that with the improvement of his own realm, Lin Xiu can feel that the aura that this ground stove can provide is not enough...

Just like the past hundreds of days, Lin Xiu, who returned to the ground stove, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword. Through this little-known sword, his perception has become clear enough to easily capture the golden fire attribute overflowing from the sword. Spiritual power, draw your mind and imagine the existence of a vortex in the sword, pull and absorb these mixed spiritual energy a little bit, and discharge the mixed part of these spiritual powers into the sword body, leaving only a small part that can be accurately The absorbed spiritual energy is guided into the dantian along the arm.

Five hours passed.

Feeling the slight pain in his body, Lin Xiu immediately stopped practicing, calmed down the overflowing spiritual energy and opened his eyes, a gleam of golden and red mixed light flashed in his eyes.

"Whoo~"

After finishing his practice, Lin Xiu took back the blade in front of him, and gently stroked the scabbard which was the same as before, feeling a little incredulous in his heart.

To say that it is not Lin Xiu who has absorbed the most spiritual energy in the past year of practice, but this unattractive sword. In theory, any object that absorbs enough spiritual energy will produce supernatural powers. Among them, the weapon Mostly it turned from ordinary iron to a magic weapon, but this sword has obviously absorbed more than a year of spiritual energy, but the appearance still hasn't changed a bit, so that Lin Xiu has the feeling of pulling it out of its sheath from time to time to look inside What an impulse the blade of the sword becomes.

However, considering that he still has to use this sword to cultivate immortals, Lin Xiu's impulse was still controlled.And in order to prevent this impulse from going wild one day, Lin Xiu deliberately picked up another "hobby"...

Putting down the sword, and looking at the direction of the entrance of the cave to make sure there was no movement, Lin Xiu pulled out a sealed rattan box from under the stone bed where he was sitting upright, absorbing the much weaker wood attribute spiritual power in his body compared to the gold and fire attributes. Gently rub a little on the surface of the rattan box.

A miraculous scene appeared.

With the bright green light spots between the fingers escaping on the surface of the rattan box, the originally intricate rattan began to curl up as if given life, and soon, the objects that were originally sealed by the rattan were exposed.

a puppet?

7. Puppet Art · Ying

Because there is no coloring, the color and specific clothes cannot be seen, but Lin Xiu can guarantee that this style of clothes does not exist in this world, and it is even more impossible for people who look like this puppet to exist.

If you want to say why... this is a figure!

Although the material has changed from plastic to wood with spiritual power, it still cannot change the reality that it is a figure.Even this figure has its own complete background and title.

Thinking back to the key points of the wood puppet technique, Lin Xiu condensed the wood-attribute spiritual power in his body and poured it into the spirit wood in his hand. At the same time, a strange idea appeared in his mind.

——Does it make sense for me to recite the summoning spell?

Before Lin Xiu could put this idea into action, the spirit wood/figure in his hand was already trembling slightly, and the precautions from Mr. Qian sounded. The wooden/figure did not fall to the ground, but floated in mid-air, expanding and expanding in a way that completely violated science until——

"... Yingmei?"

It was a girl, at least in appearance.

About 4.7 to 4.8 feet tall, compared to Lin Xian in front of him, he is obviously a head shorter. There are two flower decorations on the top of the hanging short hair, and he is dressed in a long robe compared to Lin Xian's He Guizong. There are quite a lot of differences in dresses, and the feet are even more "deviant" - at least this world does not have the concept of stockings.

But no matter how much it looks like a girl, Lin Xiu still knows that it is not a girl. After all, a real girl is not all green.

Obviously, it perfectly inherited the material of that piece of spiritual wood. Of course, the hair color and white clothes that should have been golden will only turn into emerald green. The only thing that is fortunate is that it is not wearing a hat.

In addition to the material and color, the lifeless eyes are also a failure. After all, what can be summoned by the "wooden puppet technique" is not a complete and independent life, but a piece of wood infused with spiritual power. In essence, it is still a "puppet" rather than a life. .
