[Magic Gourd: The prototype of a top-grade treasure with endless potential. 】
[It was originally an evil magic weapon refined by the Yuan Shen monk Old Man Plague. It was later washed away and re-refined into the prototype of the magic weapon. 】
[This magic weapon contains Chaos Divine Iron, which can contain all things and accommodate the power of any attribute. 】
[This magic weapon is refined with a variety of attribute restrictions, all five elements, and forms a cycle of its own, which is wonderful]
…
Look at the purple light of supernatural power emerging on the gourd and the messages.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.
This time was his first official attempt at weapon refining.
Although he has used supernatural powers to simulate and comprehend many times before.
But it was a success in the first try, with almost no mistakes, which is still something to be happy about.
"From now on, you can call me Five Elements Gourd."
After Lu Qing gave the magic weapon in his hand a name, he threw the gourd, suspended it in front of him, and sprayed a mouthful of natal essence on it.
After the magic weapon is restrained and refined, the next step is the most important step, which is to recognize its owner.
Moreover, identifying the owner of a natal magic weapon is much more complicated than ordinary magic weapons.
You must use your natal essence and the power of your soul to continuously refining it for a long time, so that the magic weapon can be as one as your own mind, integrated into one body, as pointed by your arm.
When you go one step further, you will use your own energy to nurture a certain spirituality, enlighten the spirit of the weapon, and promote it to become a spiritual weapon.
The reason why the plague old man was able to give up his body so easily in the first place and seize it to become a weapon spirit.
It is because the weapon spirit of the Plague Gourd itself has the same origin as him.
Otherwise, how can it be so simple to transform a human body into a magic weapon and still keep the true spirit immortal?
"The technique that Xiao Langjun practiced is actually the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique], and it has also reached the state where the body is glowing with precious light."
"Yan" was immediately surprised when he saw Lu Qing's vitality and five elements erupting from his body, as well as the light appearing on the surface of his body when he was doing his exercises.
Ever since Lu Qing refined the Lihuo Cauldron, he had sealed the restrictions.
As a result, "Yan" knew very little about Lu Qing, and he didn't even know the techniques he practiced.
Previously, when Lu Qing helped it refine the old plague ghost, it was also the power of the magic circle in this cave that stimulated it, and he did not use his own spiritual energy.
So it was only now that "Yan" realized that what Lu Qing practiced was actually the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] that almost no one cared about in the ancient era of immortal cultivation.
"What do you think about practicing this technique? Is it possible that among the Lihuo Sect inheritance that he received, this is the only technique for cultivating immortals?
Or is it that he doesn't know the disadvantages of this technique? "
"Yan" was a little confused.
[Five Elements Body Refining Technique] is not a very advanced technique.
The speed of cultivation is slow and the upper limit is not high.
Even the monk who created this technique only reached the perfection of the Golden Core Realm in the end.
Lu Qinghui's practice of this technique was beyond its expectations.
But "Yan" also knew that now was not the time to ask, so he just watched Lu Qing quietly refining the magic weapon.
As Lu Qing spurted out one mouthful of life essence after another, the Five Elements Gourd was also being completely imprinted with his own brand, and he was refining the life magic weapon.
When the mark was placed, the Five Elements Gourd immediately turned into a stream of light, integrated into his body, and finally fell into the sea of Qi in Dantian.
Absorb all the five elements of spiritual power in Lu Qing's Dantian, circulate it inside, and then spit it out.
Then he swallowed it in and spit it out.
As the Five Elements Gourd continued to absorb and spit out spiritual power, Lu Qing discovered that with each cycle, the spiritual power in his Dantian would become more pure and condensed.
He was a little surprised.
You must know that the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] he practiced requires continuous tempering of the physical body with one's own spiritual power.
As the strength of the physical body increases, the requirements for the purity of spiritual power will become higher and higher.
Now that the Five Elements Gourd can purify his spiritual power, it is equivalent to helping him practice all the time.
This can greatly speed up his practice again.
"Sure enough, it is correct to choose to refine the Five Elements Gourd as a natal magic weapon.
It's just the initial preparation of this treasure, and it already has such miraculous effects.
After continuous sacrifice and refinement, the magic weapon will be completely formed and promoted to a spiritual weapon.
The benefits to me are probably unimaginable! "
Today's Five Elements Gourd, Lu Qing only refined a layer of prohibition.
This prohibition has all five elements, and it is a set of five elements formation.
He made it by combining the inheritance of Shenfu Sect and the weapon refining techniques of Lihuo Sect.
Originally it was only a level of restriction. Logically speaking, it could only refine a magic weapon of the magic weapon level at most, and it was still the most basic kind.
Unfortunately, the foundation of Five Elements Gourd is really good.
The old man with the plague had invested all his life's accumulation in refining this magical weapon of his own.
It also accidentally incorporated a piece of the legendary Chaos Divine Iron.
This makes the Five Elements Gourd even without any restrictions, and its material power alone is enough to rank among the top-grade treasures.
From now on, as long as Lu Qing continues to refine it and put it under restrictions, one day it will transform into a spiritual weapon again.
And by that time, as the master of the spiritual weapon and the magic weapon of his destiny, he will definitely gain great benefits.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiaolang, the sacrifice is successful and you have your own magic weapon."
"Yan" congratulated Lu Qing after seeing him take the Five Elements Gourd into his body.
At the same time, I was sighing in my heart that Lu Qing's luck was really good.
Just in the Qi Refining Stage, not only did he possess two spiritual weapons, but he had also successfully refined a natal magic weapon with the potential to become a spiritual weapon.
This kind of luck is almost unique even in the ancient era of immortal cultivation.
Anyway, in the tens of thousands of years since it was refined, I have never heard of anything so outrageous.
"It's just that I have gained a level of restraint. There is still a long way to go in the future." Lu Qing shook his head.
However, with his current level of cultivation, refining a level of restraint is already the limit.
If you want to continue cultivating, you have to wait for another breakthrough in your cultivation.
"With Xiao Langjun's talent, it won't take long to reach the level of refining the second level of prohibition." "Yan" complimented.
"But Xiaolangjun, there is something I don't understand. I wonder if I can ask you?"
"Senior, what do you want to ask?"
Lu Qing was naturally aware of "Yan"'s change of attitude. He didn't point it out, he just said casually.
"The technique I just observed Xiao Langjun practicing seems to be the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique].
I don’t know why Xiao Langjun chose this method for practice. Don’t you know the shortcomings of this method? "
"What are the flaws that senior mentioned?"
“[Five Elements Body Refining Technique] cultivates the five elements simultaneously, and the time required to cultivate one point of spiritual power is more than five times that of other techniques.
Therefore, its cultivation speed is notoriously slow.
Moreover, the upper limit of this skill is not high. The monk who created it only cultivated it to the perfection of golden elixir.
When the life span is exhausted, the body dies and the Tao disappears. Don't you know this? "
"Yan" said with a somewhat inexplicable tone.
"Senior, are you talking about these shortcomings?" Lu Qing smiled, "Junior naturally knows, but for this junior, these are not a problem. [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] is very suitable for me. It was only after careful selection by this junior. Seniors don’t have to worry about choosing the exercises to practice.”
But he did not explain why the [Five Elements Body Refining Technique] was suitable for him.
"I see, I didn't ask any more questions."
When "Yan" heard this, he knew that Lu Qing didn't want to talk more about this matter.
Although he was curious, he didn't continue to ask.
And he now somewhat understands Lu Qing's temperament.
Although this young man is not old, he is very thoughtful and ruthless, and will never do anything that will harm himself.
Since he dares to practice this technique, he has something to rely on.
"By the way, Senior Yan, I have always heard you say that there will be a great calamity of five human declines that day. I wonder what kind of calamity this is. Can you tell me in detail?"
At this time, Lu Qing also asked.
"Yan" suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Qing had asked it this question before, but at that time it used it to negotiate conditions with Lu Qing.
Now that Lu Qing asked again, "Yan" didn't dare to mention it again.
Instead, he solemnly said: "The catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man is actually a catastrophe caused by the exhaustion of spiritual energy rules and changes in the rules of heaven and earth at the end of the last era of immortal cultivation."
“This catastrophe is mainly aimed at cultivators above the foundation-building stage, but has little impact on the lower-level cultivators.
The main reason is that the rules of heaven and earth were constantly evolving at that time, and the world was gradually unable to accommodate powerful practitioners.
This is especially true for the great masters of Jindan and above.
Even if they do nothing, their cultivation and soul are constantly declining under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth.
You must know that any powerful cultivator's state of cultivation is achieved through long years of hard work.
Even one's own lifespan is maintained by cultivation, so that the true soul can be immortal and live forever.
Once the spiritual soul of cultivation weakens to a certain extent, those powerful practitioners will show the signs of decay of the physical soul.
At that time, the whole body's cultivation will be reduced to nothing, and even the true spirit will be unable to maintain and fall into collapse.
This is the so-called calamity of the five declines of heaven and man.
At the end of the age of cultivating immortals, all powerful cultivators must face a world-shattering disaster! "
Only then did Lu Qing understand why "Yan" was so surprised when he learned that the true spirit of the old plague ghost was still there.
It turns out that this so-called calamity of the five declines of heaven and man is something that all powerful practitioners must face.
"Then a magical spirit like you, senior, doesn't have to face the calamity of the five declines of heaven and man?"
"Yes, although we weapon spirits also have real spirits, we are the spirits of magic weapons. We have no body and will not decay.
Therefore, the calamity of the five declines of heaven and man will not affect us.
However, if the spiritual energy is exhausted and we are not nourished by the spiritual energy for a long time, the true spirit will still become weak and fall into a deep sleep.
This was the reason why the old plague ghost wanted to seize the body and turn it into the weapon spirit of his own magic weapon. "
"Is there really no way to resist this catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man? There were so many powerful people in the ancient immortal cultivation era, couldn't they just sit back and wait for death?" Lu Qing asked.
"How could you sit still and wait for death!"
"Yan" smiled coldly.
"Persons who cultivate cherish their lives the most, especially those old monsters who have strong cultivation and have been harvested for a long time. They are even more afraid of death!
The era of cultivating immortals had just entered its final stage, the rules of heaven and earth were beginning to change, and spiritual energy began to decline.
Those old monsters have already predicted this catastrophe and started planning early. "
"Later, many sects of cultivating immortals had conflicts and fought for resources, and it was they who were behind it.
The purpose is to integrate the resources of the entire world of immortality and implement their plan to avoid the catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man. "
"What's the plan?" Lu Qing asked.
“I’m not sure about this, there were many rumors at the time.
Some people say that those old monsters want to open up a secret realm to avoid the induction of the rules of heaven and earth, and then wait for the revival of the next era of immortal cultivation.
It is also said that they will gather the resources of the entire world of immortality to create an unprecedented magic weapon to break through the boundary wall and leave this world.
It is even said that they collect elixirs from the entire world of immortality, refine a batch of top-quality elixirs, and raise their cultivation level to the limit, overcoming tribulations and ascending to the sky.
In short, there are different opinions, and I don’t know whether it is true or false.
Anyway, my Lihuo Sect had already fought hard with the enemy sect before the calamity of the Five Decline of Heaven and Man came, and was eventually destroyed. "
"Create a secret realm to avoid disasters?" Lu Qing was moved in his heart and said, "Senior, there are several secret realms in the world. It is said that they have been passed down for a long time and have tens of thousands of years of history. I don't know if they are the secret realms you are talking about."
Then, Lu Qing told "Yan" the information he knew about the four secret places.
"Xuankong Mountain, Yunshui Secret Realm, Qingyang Temple, Hanshui Palace?"
"Yan" showed doubts when he heard these names.
“Although these four sects can be regarded as the top forces in the ancient era of immortal cultivation, logically speaking, their foundations are not enough to create a secret realm that can avoid the catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man.
Could it be that after I fell asleep, something big happened in the world of immortality? "
"Senior, are you saying that it is impossible to create a secret realm that can be passed down for tens of thousands of years based on the foundation of Xuankong Mountain alone?"
"This is not true. In the ancient times of cultivating immortals, there were many secret realms that depended on the space of this world to exist and die.
If there is a force willing to do so, they can integrate into the secret realm and suppress the space at the cost of a powerful spiritual weapon.
This allows the secret realm to exist for a long time and not be closed.
Those top immortal cultivating sects back then almost all had one or two secret realms as a retreat.
But as I said, the secret realm is dependent on the space of this world, and is also affected by the laws of heaven and earth in this world.
Even if you hide in a secret realm, you can't avoid the five declines of heaven and man.
Unless it takes an unimaginable cost to completely separate the secret space and block the induction of the laws of the outside world.
Only then can there be a slight possibility of not falling into the calamity of the five declines of heaven and man.
But such a price is definitely not something that any sect can bear.
So the four secret places you mentioned, even if they have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, are forces inherited from the ancient era of immortal cultivation.
The disciples inside probably don’t know how many generations have passed, and it’s absolutely impossible for any old monster from the ancient times to survive. "
"Then what if they also have the body-stealing spirit that survives like the old plague ghost?" Lu Qing asked.
"In that case, it is possible, but spiritual weapons are rare, and if they are not natal magic weapons, there is a great risk in seizing the body.
Even if you succeed in seizing the body by luck and become a weapon spirit, you are just trapped in a prison. Not everyone can make this determination.
So even if there are such old monsters surviving, there will definitely not be many.
There are only three or two at most. "
When Lu Qing heard this, he felt a little relieved.
"Yan" was keenly aware of Lu Qing's change.
He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why, Xiaolangjun, do you have a grudge against these secret places?"
