Chapter 103 Sword Intent
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed, and Lin Bai went out, preparing to go to Fengming Pavilion to deliver goods, and took the opportunity to see if Zhu Yumao was back.
When he walked out the door, he saw Jiang Chun.
"Brother Dao Jiang, be well." Lin Bai smiled and bowed.
Jiang Chun returned the gift and said with a smile: "Well done, fellow Taoist Yun."
"Brother Taoist, I heard from fellow Taoist Xiao Jiang that your earth fire can also be used to refine magic weapons and the like. Is there any magic weapon that is suitable for earth fire?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
It had been so long since he came to Xinyifang, but Lin Bai still didn't have a decent sword in his hand, and the storage ring still contained the ordinary iron sword made in his hometown.
"Of course there is." Jiang Chun smiled confidently, "Under the Earth Fire Cave, there is also a universe, and there are caves specially built for the purpose of refining weapons. If you want to find a magic weapon that is compatible with the Earth Fire, go to my store Just look inside.”
"Price..." Lin Bai started searching.
"With my Dihuo Cave Bronze Medal, you can get a 20% discount." Jiang Chun smiled happily and added, "Remember to mention my name."
"Thank you so much, brother." Lin Bai thanked him.
After a few more words, Lin Bai left and went to Fengming Pavilion.
Senior Zhu Jianyang went to Qiaoshan Sect but did not return, and Zhu Yumao also did not return.
After delivering the elixir to Zhu Yuling, Lin Bai asked about the magic weapon again. If her family had a magic weapon that was compatible with earth and fire, Lin Bai would naturally be willing to come to her house to buy it.
"I have earth fire at home, but it's not big. Go to Jiang's store and ask. His home has quite a lot of earth fire, and it's accompanied by Huolin Mine. It's the most suitable for earth fire." Zhu Yuling explained.
Lin Bai thanked him and went out to look for Jiang's shop.
The Jiang family has had many golden elixirs for generations, including caves, elixirs, magic tools, talismans, and even various refining utensils.
He also never bullies customers and has an excellent reputation among casual cultivators.
Lin Bai walked to Xinyi Fang South Street and found Jiang's Wanmin Tang.
The sign of Dihuo Cave House was shown, and Jiang Chun's name was announced. However, no one paid much attention to it, and only a female Qi practitioner received him.
Lin Bai spent a long time choosing, and finally chose the low-grade Fire Lin Sword that best suited the Earth Fire.
This Fire Lin Sword is dark red in color, and the Fire Lin Stone is added to the material. It has three parts of fire energy, it will generate heat when touched, and it is not afraid of fire.
But it's not cheap either. Two hundred spirit stones are half as expensive as ordinary low-grade sword-like instruments.
"It's too expensive. Two hundred spiritual stones are equivalent to two medium-grade spiritual stones." Lin Bai bargained.
"Why is it so expensive?" The female cultivator frowned, "It's been this price for years, can you please stop talking nonsense?"
Lin Bai didn't argue any more, didn't bring up Jiang Yatou, and left after settling the account.
"I finally got some spiritual stones for food, shelter, and daily necessities, and in the blink of an eye, the Jiang family made money!"
Lin Bai didn't dare to scold openly, so he could only curse while going home.
Returning to the cave, he sat cross-legged on the futon and placed the Fire Lin Sword on the ground in front of him.
It is shrouded in one's own consciousness, then connected with it, and then controlled by spiritual power.
Soon, the Fire Lin Sword trembled slightly, slowly lifted off the ground, and then circled around itself. From slow to fast, it gradually turned into a dark red fire.
Lin Bai took back his sword with great satisfaction, but he still couldn't feel the turbulence of the earth fire.
There is no need to rush this kind of thing, the main thing is to improve your realm.
From then on, Lin Bai concentrated on practicing on the stone plate. In his spare time, he summoned mist to turn into fire, imitating the imitation of earth fire.
One month passed, and Lin Bai went to Fengming Pavilion to deliver goods. Senior Zhu Jianyang still hasn't returned, and the same goes for Zhu Yumao.
Two months later, Lin Bai arrived at the sixth level of Qi training.
When I was training at the fifth level, I felt sluggish. After being slept on by Sister Pei for a few times, the stagnation disappeared and my cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
Now at the sixth level of Qi training, the Qi sea has changed slightly. It is a little bigger and has more spiritual power. It is more than 30% more than when it was at the fifth level of Qi training.
The intensity of his spiritual consciousness has not changed much, but his driving of spiritual power has become more deliberate.
After he calmed down a little, Lin Bai used a few spells and became more comfortable with them.
I put my hand on the ground fire and closed my eyes to feel it. I felt a little hazy and couldn't see clearly.
"Is there something wrong with the earth fire? The Jiang family's earth fire is underground. The fire is brought up using formations. Naturally, it can be used to refine elixirs and weapons. If you want to feel its meaning, it's a little bit off..."< br>
Lin Bai thought about it for a while and decided to ask Jiang Chun if he could go underground for a look.
Lin Bai packed everything and took the refined essence-solidifying pills with him before heading out.
"Brother Jiang Dao." Lin Bai found Jiang Chun and bowed.
"Yun Daoyou'an... you, you, you, have another breakthrough?" Jiang Chun couldn't help but be surprised when he found that Lin Bai had reached the sixth level of Qi training.
It has only been less than half a year, which is very fast. Even for those with excellent qualifications, it takes almost half a year to reach the first level.
"Thank you." Lin Bai cupped his hands and smiled, and explained: "I don't know why, but when I was refining the elixir, I felt relaxed and enlightened. When I practiced, I got twice the result with half the effort! It was thanks to the precious treasure land."
"That's it." Jiang Chun nodded when he heard this, with a clear expression on his face.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Some people cultivate their minds when refining elixirs and making talismans, and their cultivation does not fall behind, but becomes more diligent.
"By the way, Brother Jiang," Lin Bai stepped forward to get closer, "I really like refining alchemy! When I see the earth fire, I can't help but be happy! Even my practice is going smoothly! I was wondering if I could see Look at the Source of Earth Fire in your family. I felt something when I made the breakthrough. I feel that after seeing the Source of Earth Fire, my alchemy skills will be improved." As he spoke, Lin Bai took out a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill and stuffed it into his hand. , "It's a matter of great importance, so please be accommodating."
"My family's Earth Fire Cave has never allowed outsiders to enter, even members of the family..." Jiang Chun hesitated slightly when he saw Lin Bai taking out another bottle of pills.
"Brother Jiang, this is the Jingjing Pill that I have newly learned to refine. Please... huh?" Lin Bai then realized that he had taken it by mistake. The one he took out was the Tiger Wolf Pill given by Yao Qianyuan.
Jiang Chun had already taken the elixir bottle, opened it and smelled it, then looked at Lin Bai meaningfully, then nodded and whispered: "Wait for my letter. Also, don't tell anyone about me. .”
Lin Bai was at a loss, what was he talking about you? Are you weak too?
"Thank you." Lin Bai quickly saluted again.
After bidding farewell to Jiang Chun, Lin Bai took to the street and headed to Fengming Pavilion.
When they arrived at Fengming Pavilion, Zhu Yuling was not waiting at the counter. Lin Bai asked a familiar clerk and found out that Senior Zhu Jianyang was back and was talking to Zhu Yuling upstairs.
After going upstairs and knocking on the door, Zhu Yuling smiled and asked Lin Bai to come in. Then she realized that Lin Bai had reached the sixth level of Qi training, and there was a different emotion in her eyes.
"Senior, how's your journey?" Lin Bai saluted Zhu Jianyang and then bowed to Zhu Yuling.
"It's just a run around." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It's only been half a year, right? It's really rare that you are so diligent."
"Too fast!" Zhu Yuling also sighed.
Lin Bai could only repeat what he just said to Jiang Chun as an explanation. "It's really rare to be in a situation like yours." Zhu Jianyang said with emotion, "The same was true for Zhu Jianguang back then. His apocalypse opportunity was to refine an extremely complicated elixir, and then he established the foundation in one fell swoop."
He looked at Lin Bai with approval and expectation in his eyes.
Lin Bai felt embarrassed and said: "I can have this day..."
"Okay, don't say such polite words." Zhu Jianyang interrupted with a smile and waved, "Come and take a look." He pointed to a piece of writing on the table.
Lin Bai went up to take a look and saw that there was only one word "sword" on the paper. It had neither the feeling of silver hook and iron stroke nor the meaning of roundness. It was obvious that the person who wrote it didn't write often and was a rough man.
But face still had to be given, Lin Bai looked carefully.
Suddenly, Lin Bai felt that his mind paused for a moment, and there seemed to be something different about the word "sword".
The words are very clean, especially clean and pure, just like a newborn baby. Although the appearance is dirty, its body is spotless and not stained by any dirt.
Lin Bai stared at it carefully, feeling that the word seemed to have endless attraction, and he could no longer move his eyes away. He even felt it both physically and mentally, as if the dust in his heart had been swept away by a dust fly.
What does this mean? Where did the calligrapher realize such pure sword intent? Could it be that the person who wrote the calligraphy was born pure and innocent? Or maybe you got this sword intention after observing something pure and flawless?
"Hiss..." Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Bai suddenly felt that his eyes were burning, his head was extremely heavy, and he felt that the world was spinning and he was unsteady on his feet.
"Here." Zhu Jianyang tapped lightly and said with a smile: "This is Nascent Soul's handwriting. The meaning of the sword is deep. Don't look at it for too long."
Nascent Soul?
"Yes." Lin Bai responded quickly, then closed his eyes and concentrated.
After a long time, Lin Bai opened his eyes and saw Zhu Jianyang smiling, as did Zhu Yuling.
"Is this the handwriting of the new Nascent Soul from Qiaoshan?" Lin Bai was still a little dizzy, so he asked, covering his forehead.
"That's not true. The newly minted Yuanying held a Taoist meeting for a few days, but I couldn't get there." Zhu Jianyang smiled, stroking his beard, with a nostalgic look on his face, "This is what a senior from the south came to attend the Taoist meeting. Write. Before that senior attained the Dao Yuan Ying, he had a relationship with my ancestor. When he learned that my ancestor died, he left a message for me. "
Lin Bai saw that he didn't want to say more about the origin of the Nascent Soul, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhu Jianyang rolled it up with a smile, as if he was treating it like a treasure.
"Senior, can I take another look?" Lin Bai asked in a low voice.
"You don't practice swordsmanship." Zhu saw the sheep stroking his beard and smiling, then unfolded it again, "Five breaths. Don't worry about hurting yourself."
"Yes." Lin Bai took a deep breath and slowly moved his eyes.
This is the second time I have observed this word, and the pure meaning in it has not diminished, but has become stronger. The person who writes the calligraphy seems to have a pure heart, and also seems to have returned to nature after reading all the vicissitudes of life.
Lin Bai was about to copy it in his mind, when he felt like there were needles in his head, and he couldn't look straight.
"Don't force it." Zhu Jianyang fired a burst of spiritual power to protect Lin Bai.
Lin Bai took two steps back, closed his eyes and sat down, recovering quietly.
After half an hour, Lin Bai opened his eyes.
"Do you still want to watch?" Zhu Jianyang asked with a smile.
"Is it okay?" Lin Bai asked.
"You're not an outsider, look at what's going on." Zhu Jianyang was very easy-going.
"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai bowed and went up to see again.
Looking at it for the third time, Lin Bai seemed to have been hit hard again, retreated and sat down.
Closing his eyes and emptying his mind, Lin Bai came to the stone plate.
After taking a short rest and waiting for the pain from the sea of consciousness to subside, Lin Bai summoned a cloud of mist and turned it into white paper, with words slowly appearing on it: Sword.
But it couldn't be written at all, it was crooked and unorganized.
"The meaning is pure. How graceful would it be if the sword were drawn?"
Lin Bai thought about it silently, stabilized his mind again, stretched out his hand and tried to copy the sword intention.
The mist formed a line and condensed on Lin Bai's fingers. When he was about to put pen to paper, he kept thinking about the pure meaning in his heart.
But as soon as I stood up, the mist outside the stone plate began to roll in endlessly, making it impossible to write.
"My level is still too low. If I build the foundation, I can understand the three flavors."
Lin Bai sighed. But it can be considered as something gained. Seeing this pure meaning, I have some confidence in the meaning of taking earth fire.
Opening his eyes, Lin Bai met the smiles of Zhu Jianyang and Zhu Yuling.
"This junior is unprovoked and has made the seniors laugh." Lin Bai bowed again.
"It doesn't matter, anyone who sees Nascent Soul's handwriting will want to take a closer look." Zhu Jianyang was very open-minded. He put away the calligraphy and said: "I have to return this calligraphy to the clan later. If you want to see it again in the future, you have to go to my house.”
"Thank you, senior." Lin Bai bowed again.
"You're not a swordsman, so this won't be of much use." Zhu Yuling said with a smile.
"No." Zhu Jianyang said, he waved his hand and lectured: "Even if you are not a swordsman, you can still have some enlightenment. The access to all methods and all roads depends on human beings."
Zhu Jianyang was very chatty, and chatted with Lin Bai about some cultivation matters and some cultivation experiences. After chatting for several hours, he let Lin Bai go.
Lin Bai returned to the cave, closed the door, and thought about that word again.
"If Sister Ning sees it, I'm afraid she will gain something. Her understanding of the sword is three points higher than mine, and she is a swordsman..."
"It's only been three or four months, why haven't I seen her come down the mountain to see me?"
Lin Bai felt itchy in his heart, thinking about going to Tianchi Sect tomorrow to ask.
Cultivation is practice, but you can’t do without men. I am honest, but I can't hold it in all the time.
Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of spiritual power suddenly came from outside.
"Sister Ning is here?"
Lin Bai opened the door excitedly.
The person who came was indeed a woman, but it was not Pei Ning, but Huang Ruhua.
Is she back? Then Brother Yumao should be back, right?
Lin Bai felt a little wary in his heart, but showed a slight surprise on his face, and then smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Huang is back? Come in quickly."
