Chapter 742 Sword Test (Added update for the leader of the alliance, Xuan Chou)


Chapter 742 Sword Test (Additional update for the leader of the alliance, Xuan Chou~)

Practice and have fun...

"Fine."

Situ Jian looked helplessly at the ink painting with shining eyes.

After that, Mo Hua began to practice sword-wielding, with Situ Jian giving guidance and being responsible for "picking up the sword" for Mo Hua.

Although Situ Jian has not yet learned how to handle a sword, he comes from a family of swordsmanship and has been exposed to many swordsmanship techniques since childhood. Even if he has not learned them, he has seen most of them and knows much more than Mo Hua.

With him watching from the side and giving a little guidance, he would not let the ink painting go wrong.

Under Situ Jian's guidance, Mo Hua's sword control improved rapidly.

Because he omitted the important stages of accumulating sword energy and integrating sword energy with sword weapons, it was simply "controlling the sword with spiritual consciousness", which was not too difficult.

For the ink painting of divine knowledge and enlightenment, it is even relatively simple.

The more Situ Jian looked at it, the more frightened he became, but also the more regretful he became.

"Senior Brother's spiritual sword control is too fast and too far, but the power... is really terrible..."

It can’t be said that there is none at all.

More or less.

It's just that this power comes from the "strength" of the divine consciousness to control objects. It is like a hidden weapon thrown with bare hands, and is of little use.

What's more, he used a "broken sword".

The sword itself was not sharp and was rusty.

Situ Jian shook his head.

However, he still did his duty and helped Mo Hua practice "sword control" for a day. It wasn't until Mo Hua became very proficient that the two returned to the sect.

After arriving at the sect, Mo Hua specially treated Situ Jian to a big meal as a thank you gift for teaching him the way of swordsmanship.

Among fellow sect members, it is very honorable to be invited to dinner by the younger senior brother.

Situ Jian also ate happily.

After the two of them were full, they returned to their disciples' residence.

After returning to the disciple's residence, Mo Hua drew some formations, ate some food, and then began to think about the next plan.

First of all, I have learned the method of wielding a sword with my divine consciousness.

Although I only studied for one day, I probably understand the key points.

Then just practice more and improve your sword-wielding proficiency.

There may be a more profound method of "sacred sword control", but that is too far away and I can't use it at the moment.

The "Sword Control Technique" used to break the golden gate can be used as it is for now.

Next, the most important thing is to make the sword.

As Situ said, although the sword he wields with his spiritual consciousness is fast and far, it is indeed a waste of resources to kill without the sword energy.

But Mo Hua knew full well that he estimated that he would never be able to develop any skills in sword energy in this life.

Therefore, we can only use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use "Sword Formation" to replace "Sword Qi"...

It was midday again, and Mo Hua did not go to Demon Refining Mountain. Instead, he made an appointment with Master Gu to have tea in a small living room of Gu's house.

The living room is sophisticated and elegant, and is equipped with a soundproof array.

This can be regarded as a well-established rule of the aristocratic family.

The small living room where guests receive guests is set up with a soundproof array to protect the privacy of guests and prevent others from prying in.

Mo Hua and Master Gu were chatting in the small living room.

He explained his purpose to Master Gu simply and clearly.

Master Gu was startled when he heard this, "Forging a spiritual sword?!"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "I want to try to forge some spirit swords first, gold spirit swords with cheaper materials..."

Because my "sword" is quite special, I use the sword array to explode and kill, basically using one to waste.

If the cost is too high, I'm afraid I'll lose all my money.

"...The shape is simpler, and like the Five Elements Source Armor, it also needs to be open source. The formation cannot be sealed inside, and there must be an external interface..."

Mo Hua added one by one.

Master Gu's brows knitted together, and he shook his head and said: "To be honest, young master, the Gu family is not a family of swordsmanship. Our weapon refining shop in Gushan has never refined a serious spirit sword, and the orders we occasionally receive are not They are all ordinary swords that are useless on the street and cannot be put on the stage..."

"This kind of sword is said to be a 'sword', but it is not essentially different from a sword, a gun, or a club. It only has the shape of a sword, but does not have the essence of a spiritual sword."

"The most important thing is that there is no inner sword formation..."

"As for the sword formation..." Mo Hua just started to speak, but suddenly his heart sank, and he immediately realized a serious problem.

You can't tell Master Gu about the Broken Golden Sword Formation.

This sword array comes from Broken Golden Gate.

It is impossible for any sect to leak the core sword formation, let alone the small Golden Gate.

I learned it secretly on my own, so it’s nothing.

After all, formation matters are profound and obscure. If you know some things, others may not be able to understand them if you tell them, let alone believe them.

But if Master Gu and the others were to refine it, they would be in big trouble.

Once Duan Jinmen finds out about it, Master Gu, a third-grade weapon refiner, and the entire Gushan weapon refinery will probably be implicated.

Therefore, Master Gu and the others cannot do the sword forging.

Mo Hua's mind turned quickly, he thought for a moment, and then said:
"...The sword formation is indeed more troublesome. If the sect doesn't teach it, I won't be able to get the real inheritance of the sword formation for a while..."

"So let's forget about the sword formation for now. Master Gu, just make some simple spiritual swords for me. Just use them as a 'formation matchmaker', using the sword as the shape and the weapon as the matchmaker..."

Master Gu did not doubt that he was there, he nodded slowly and said: "Okay, just follow me, young master, I will go back and give it a try."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

After Master Gu returned, it took him about half a month to initially refine several spirit swords according to Mo Hua's requirements.

These are just ordinary spiritual swords.

As Master Gu said, it just looks like a "sword" and is not much different from spiritual weapons such as knives and sticks.

Moreover, the internal structure has been open sourced for formations, and is essentially a general formation medium.

But it is enough to test the power of the "sword".

Mo Hua took the time to draw the Broken Golden Sword Formation inside these spiritual swords.

Different from the sword formation used to forge the Broken Golden Gate sword, the Broken Golden Sword Formation drawn in the sword by Mo Hua is a self-sufficient complex formation system with spiritual power circulation.

In the ordinary broken gold sword formation, monks provide spiritual power to increase the sword energy.

The Broken Gold Sword Formation that Mo Hua has now modified has changed the sword formation pattern and added a separate Spirit Gathering Formation as the center of the sword formation.

The spirit gathering array will be "charged with spirit" in advance to provide spiritual power for the spirit sword. When the spiritual energy passes through the sword array, it will be deformed and transformed into the sharp gold-breaking sword energy.

In this way, with the help of spiritual stones to provide spiritual power, there is no need to rely on one's own spiritual power.

Mo Hua's spiritual power is weak and he can't afford powerful sword skills.

After drawing the formation, the ink painting sealed the spirit sword.

At the end of the tenth day, he went to the Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua found a secluded place, let go of his consciousness, made sure there was no one around and there were no monsters, and then he started practicing his sword.

He first drew a turtle on a big rock.

This turtle is the target.

Then Mo Hua began to move away, until he retreated one hundred and seventy feet away, sat cross-legged on the spot, took out the spirit sword, and placed it in front of him.

Mo Hua held his breath and concentrated, silently practicing the sword control method in the Broken Gold Sword Control Technique, controlling the spirit sword with his spiritual consciousness, and then locked on the turtle on the big stone in the distance.

With a thought, the spiritual sword flashed.

A golden light flew out instantly.

Then there was a "bang" in the distance, the rocks shattered, and stone debris flew.

Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly, he stood up immediately and ran forward.

The spirit sword accurately hit the turtle.

At the moment of the hit, the formation was activated, and the spiritual power accumulated in the Spirit Gathering Formation activated the Broken Gold Sword Formation, transforming it into sharp sword energy, crushing the rocks.

There are already spider web-like cracks on the big stone.

The turtle was also reduced to powder.

The spirit sword withstood the sword energy generated by the Broken Gold Sword Formation. It was covered with cracks and was scrapped at the same time.

Mo Hua frowned.

The power is not weak, but it is not as strong as I thought.

First of all, the deformation of the sword formation is still relatively superficial.

After all, his usage of the Broken Gold Sword Formation was completely different from its original purpose, not to mention completely different.

The transformation of the sword formation used for "amplification" into the sword formation used for "explosive killing" does not happen overnight.

Secondly, the sword formation and the spiritual sword do not fit well enough.

The spiritual sword cannot fully carry the flow of the sword formation, and the sword formation cannot fully guide the killing energy of the spiritual sword.

Finally, the quality of the spirit sword itself is too low.

After all, it is a cheap spirit sword, so the power cannot be too high.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

It has killing power, but it is far from enough, at least not to what I expected.

You can figure out a way to solve the sword formation issue yourself.

According to the principles of the formation, it is enough to optimize the formation hub step by step, modify the formation pattern, and stimulate the power of the sword formation.

But forging a sword is not easy.

If you want to improve the quality of the spiritual sword and the fit between the spiritual sword and the sword formation, ordinary weapon refiners are not enough. It is best to find a professional "swordsmith" who is proficient in sword refining.

Master Gu is not suitable.

Because although Master Gu is a third-grade weapon refiner, he has no backing in the Gu family. You cannot tell him some confidential things, otherwise he will be dragged into trouble.

What's more, Master Gu's family has a big business, and the huge Gushan Weapon Refining Shop depends on him for its livelihood.

Can't hurt him.

It is best to be a disciple of a noble family and have some background.

Being from the same sect as myself makes it easier to communicate and make swords.

Want something you can trust.

The level of sword making must be high.

This is related to the power of his own "Sword Controlling with Divine Consciousness"!

The divine sense of sword control is the basis for understanding the "sword intention".

Therefore, this is also related to yourself, whether you can understand the sword's intention and further understand the true secret of spiritual thoughts turning into swords...

After Mo Hua returned to the sect, he began to look for candidates. It's just that he glanced around and found no suitable Taixu Sect disciple who could be his "swordsmith".

After all, Taixu Sect is not good at swordsmanship.

There are also very few inheritances of the sword-making method.

There are some disciples in the sect who are good at refining weapons, but not many are good at forging swords.

Even if he can forge swords, he is not proficient in it.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Mo Hua had no choice but to ask Master Gu to make some ordinary "spiritual swords" and make do with them.

Mo Hua also used these spiritual swords to continuously practice the skills of sword control.

At the same time, the sword formation is adjusted little by little to enhance the intensity of spiritual transformation and increase the power of the Broken Gold Sword Formation.

But after practicing ink painting for a while, I discovered a very serious problem.

Practicing sword practice by yourself is a complete loss!
Every time you practice sword control, the sword formation is activated, the sword energy explodes, and the spiritual sword is destroyed.

Although this ordinary spirit sword is not expensive, no matter how cheap it is, it is still a spirit sword.

The cost of a spiritual sword is at least several hundred spiritual stones.

I am just a casual cultivator with no family support. Although I am still relatively wealthy in Lingshi, if I continue to practice like this, I will be sitting on nothing and I will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Even if you don't go bankrupt yourself.

That was Master Gu, who forged swords for himself, but was too embarrassed to ask for spiritual stones from him.

No matter who goes bankrupt, it's not a good thing.

"no!"

This is inconsistent with your own code of conduct.

Mo Hua looked serious, "We have to find a way to practice sword-wielding and return to our roots at the same time..."

This is the Demon Refining Mountain. The only way to practice sword-wielding and get back to your roots is naturally to hunt demons.

Mo Hua walked around the mountain and found helplessly that his sword seemed to be of no use.

Nowadays, this sword is not powerful enough to kill monsters, and it is not as useful as the formation.

It's used for last-hitting, but it seems redundant.

Using spells to make up for it is also a way to make up for it, and using fists and feet to make up for it is also a way to make up for it. There is no need to waste a spiritual sword and use a sword to make up for the damage.

Mo Hua thought hard for a long time, but there was no good solution.

Suddenly there was a neighing sound in the sky, and Mo Hua was stunned. He looked up and saw a colorful demon bird flying over the horizon.

Mo Hua was slightly startled, and suddenly realized something.

If you don’t need it to kill the monsters crawling on the ground, then use it to kill the ones flying in the sky!

The monsters on the ground are generally rough-skinned, thick-flesh, and strong-blooded.

However, the birds and monsters flying in the sky are uniquely endowed with the ability to fly across the sky with their feathered wings. Compared with the monsters and beasts on the ground, they are not only smaller in size, but also have much weaker vitality.

Just enough to practice sword-wielding for myself.

The bird monsters flying in the sky are more difficult to catch and hunt than ordinary monsters.

Therefore, the materials of bird monsters are much more valuable than ordinary monsters.

Mo Hua looked up at the sky, and sure enough he saw several harpies with brown beaks and hooked claws, flying proudly in the sky.

Mo Hua smiled slightly.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua made preparations and asked Master Gu to refine a few more spirit swords.

Inside the spirit sword, there is still a broken golden sword formation drawn.

But in addition to the Broken Gold Sword Formation, Mo Hua also deployed some flame formations.

The edge of the sword was also rubbed with the poisonous blood of the monster in ink.

After preparations were completed, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain again.

He found a hidden hilltop, sat cross-legged, placed the spirit sword in front of him, then let go of his consciousness and scanned the birds and monsters in the sky.

The sky is blue and the white clouds are like horses.

Mo Hua sits upright with his eyes closed.

Occasionally, poisonous harpies flew by, but he ignored them.

Until a gray bald eagle soared overhead.

Mo Hua then had a thought and opened his eyes, revealing a bright light.

Goshawk!
The first level of the second level is a falcon-like monster with red wings and gray feathers on its head. It can fly into the sky, its mouth is as hard as stone, and its hooks and claws are like iron. It has a ferocious nature and can also eat people.

These are the birds and monsters carefully selected in the ink painting to test the sword.

There are many birds and demons in the sky, but not all of them can be killed.

Some feathers are so hard that sword energy may not be able to break them;

Some come in groups, and if you kill one, you will be chased by a group;

Some are too strong and cannot be provoked;
Some are cunning, suspicious, and have keen perceptions...

In comparison, the goshawk is the easiest to kill.

Although this kind of eagle has strong inner demonic power, other than that, its fur defense and demonic awareness are quite satisfactory.

They also don’t have the habit of gathering in groups, so it’s actually the best place to start.

The ink painting circulates the sword control technique, and the divine consciousness controls the sword. At the same time, the divine mind is released, firmly locking the goshawk in the sky.

When it went down to hunt, it was less than 150 feet away from the ground.

Mo Hua's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

A golden light burst out of the sky.

This golden light was extremely fast, flying through the air, the light and shadow were like silk, but in an instant, it was in front of the goshawk.

The goshawk was in danger and screamed desperately, but it was already too late.

The golden sword stabbed the goshawk's body, instantly activating the formation. The internal Broken Golden Sword Formation turned into sword energy, crushing half of the goshawk's wings. The flame formation burned its feathers, and the sky A burst of blood mist burst out.

The goshawk fell sharply like a kite with its string broken.

Mo Hua used Water Step, and with a few dodgers, he arrived at the place where the goshawk landed.

The goshawk is not dead, its ferocious eyes are staring at the ink painting, and it wants to peck the eyeballs of the ink painting and swallow the flesh and blood of the ink painting.

But a goshawk that lands on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

Its wings were broken by the sword energy and it could not fly. Its fate was already doomed.

Mo Hua spent a lot of effort, using formations and spells at the same time, and finally killed the goshawk.

Then, with some difficulty, he peeled off the hawk demon's feathers, picked out its flesh and bones, and took out its demon elixir.

Ink painting is not a physical practice. I am not strong enough and can not do it neatly, which wastes some time.

But it took half an hour to finally peel it off.

But when peeling the eagle, Mo Hua always felt that the demonic power and aura of the eagle was a bit familiar.

But it shouldn’t be...

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

He clearly remembered that this was his first time hunting such an eagle-like monster.

Why does it look familiar?

Mo Hua thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, and it was getting late, so he put aside his doubts temporarily and went down the mountain.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, Mo Hua sold the goshawk.

Because the goshawk is slightly smaller and has fewer materials, and the sword formation drawn in ink also has a lot of feathers chopped into pieces, it is not expensive to sell.

But even so, it was worth a thousand meritorious deeds.

After deducting the cost of the spirit sword, you can earn hundreds of merits.

Mo Hua was very happy.

If you practice sword control like this in the future, not only will you not lose money, but you will also earn a lot of merit!

Mo Hua returned to the sect with a full load.

After that, Mo Hua lived a stable life.

On weekdays, I practice, take classes, and learn formations.

During the ten days off, I would go to the Demon Refining Mountain to practice swordsmanship, kill eagles, and earn merit.

The days are extremely fulfilling and very "rich".

He has accumulated more and more meritorious deeds.

And in the Demon Refining Mountain, everything was calm.

Nowadays, a large area of ​​the outer mountain of Demon Refining Mountain is occupied by Taixu Sect disciples.

The Demon Refining Mountain is dangerous, and hunting demons is even more dangerous.

This is especially true for sect disciples who have no experience in hunting monsters.

Therefore, novices generally do not rush into the mountains to hunt monsters.

During this period of time, most of the disciples from other sects of the same generation are still practicing. After their cultivation is solid, they will go into the mountains to hunt monsters one after another.

Taixumen is an exception.

In other words, this year’s Taixu Sect is an exception.

Because of the little senior brother Mo Hua, most disciples of Taixu Sect have adapted to life in Demon Refining Mountain earlier.

And they were on a first-come, first-served basis and had a good chunk of space.

I don’t know why I entered the mountain very early.

But in the battle with Taixu Sect, they lost, so they had to avoid Taixu Sect and find another place to hunt monsters.

Other sect disciples also entered the mountain in advance.

But there are not many of them, only five or six of them. They are just familiar with the situation of Demon Refining Mountain.

Then they saw Taixu Sect, with many disciples, one after another, organized, disciplined, with unified spiritual weapons, and standardized demon hunting procedures, and they had begun to hunt "militarily".

With just one look at this scene, they knew what was going on.

The Taixu Sect, at least the disciples of this generation, cannot afford to offend them for the time being, so they can only avoid it...

Therefore, there are disputes elsewhere.

But in the few outer hills occupied by the Taixu Sect, everyone is from the same sect and has the same little senior brother, so they are very harmonious.

Just like that, some time passed and it was already the second half of the year.

The number of disciples outside the Demon Refining Mountain suddenly increased.

Many sect disciples, after more than half a year of hard work and solid cultivation, began to go into the mountains to try to hunt monsters.

Among them are the disciples of Tai’amen and Chongxu sect who were once in the same spirit as Taixu sect…
