Chapter 197 Sword Forging Department and Entering the Sword Forest
Three days later, Zhou Ling, whose soul cultivation had stabilized, was sitting on a recliner in the small courtyard.
He was holding a jade slip in his hand. The jade slip recorded some situations in the sword forest.
It contains records of how some disciples obtained swords after entering.
Some also feel new sword intentions in the sword forest.
After watching it carefully, Zhou Ling still had a lot of expectations for entering the sword forest.
Many disciples also gained a lot from it.
Some disciples obtained third-level wood spirit swords, which greatly improved their wood attribute sword power.
There is also a second-level high-grade Ripple Sword that can block the attacks of Jindan monks.
There is even the Qingling Sword that can assist in training, etc....
Among them, the more famous one is a disciple named Yuan Family.
He obtained a third-level Seven-Yam Sword in the Sword Forest, and understood the Star Sword Intent from it.
Now he has mastered the three realms of sword cultivation and is famous in Xuanyuan Taoist Academy.
In addition, after becoming the inner disciple of the Taoist Academy, Zhang Taoist, he also obtained a silver light sword in the Sword Forest, and his sword-making skills improved greatly.
Zhou Ling is not envious of these, because he has the talent of [Illusion Simulation] and only needs to enter it once.
Then you can use your talent to enter it.
Moreover, his main purpose is to hone his sword intention with the help of the sword in the sword forest.
With the number of swords in the Sword Forest, if you can enter it multiple times, the gain will be too great for yourself.
It can even greatly improve the Five Elements Sword Intent.
Or, go one step further, reach the second realm of swordsmanship, and condense the soul of the sword.
Of course, if you can obtain a third-level sword through [Searching for Treasures in the Mountains], it will be a big profit.
The more I think about Zhou Ling, the more excited I feel.
However, there is a fixed time for the opening of the Sword Forest. There are still three days until the opening of this month. At that time, a group of inner courtyard disciples will enter together.
·······.
Three days later.
Zhou Ling went to the Inner Court Affairs Office early in the morning to register and inquire about entering Jianlin.
After completing the registration and being deducted three hundred points, Wu Jiaoxi, who was responsible for the management of Jianlin, asked Zhou Ling to wait in a monastery.
We have to wait until several other inner court disciples who enter the Sword Forest arrive together, and then introduce to them the things to pay attention to when entering the Sword Forest.
Then go to Jianlin.
About a stick of incense later, the seven inner court disciples who entered the Sword Forest this time all arrived.
Among them, Zhou Ling is the youngest.
The oldest person is a middle-aged man in his thirties.
He is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Second-grade swordsmith.
Finally collected three hundred points.
I hope that I can get a third-level sword this time when I enter the sword forest.
The other people are all in their twenties and are in the early or middle stages of foundation building.
Although Zhou Ling is young, his body is not much different from that of an adult man.
It doesn’t look much different from an adult.
And after successfully building the foundation, the lifespan has reached 250, so no one will pay too much attention to the issue of age.
When they learned that the young man in front of them was Zhou Ling, they all bowed and greeted Zhou Ling with smiles on their faces.
Nowadays, Zhou Ling is well known in the Taoist temple for his heavenly foundation at the age of less than fourteen years old.
Belongs to the example of ordinary disciples in the Taoist Academy who have worked hard to become talented.
In the past, there has never been a disciple with low-grade spiritual roots and a heaven-grade foundation.
I believe it will not happen in the future.
Zhou Ling also responded with a smile on his face.
Tianpin foundation building is just a stage in life.
Everything has started again.
Of course, with the title of Tianpin Foundation Establishment, it is still very convenient to do things in the Taoist Temple.
One of them, a gentle-looking man in his early twenties, greeted Zhou Ling, "Junior brother Zhou, this is Chen Bai."
"I've met Senior Brother Chen."
Zhou Ling smiled and returned the favor.
“Junior Brother Zhou, although this is our first meeting, I have admired your name for a long time.”
“There has been no Tianpin Foundation Establishment disciple in the Taoist Academy for decades!”
“Junior brother Zhou is so young, his future is limitless.”
Chen Bai showed envy on his face and said in a condescending manner
"Thank you for the award, senior brother, I just got lucky!"
Zhou Ling said modestly.
"I also heard that Junior Brother Zhou has a good talent in sword making. I wonder if I want to join the Taoist Sword Making Department?"
Moved his position and sat close to Zhou Ling. Finally, Chen Bai said with a smile.
"Sword Forging Department?"
Zhou Ling couldn't help but said softly.
Since practice usually takes up a lot of time, there are also tasks from the Tiangong Division to be completed, and I have to go to the Ancient Cloud Realm if I have time.
So he did not join any of the Taoist departments composed of disciples, such as the Alchemy Department, the Rune Department, the Formation Department, the Sword Making Department, etc.
These departments are also a good place for disciples to exchange cultivation experiences and materials.
"The sword-making department in the inner courtyard is no better than that in the outer courtyard!"
Seeing that Zhou Ling didn't seem to be interested, Chen Bai smiled and said.
“The Inner Court Sword Forging Department is all composed of second-grade swordsmiths, or even third-grade swordsmiths. In addition to exchanging sword-making experiences, they also practice refining.”
“Almost every day there are many. The orders for making swords come from other Taoist academies, aristocratic families and other forces. Sometimes the Tiangong Division will also ask the Sword Making Department to assist in making swords."
Looking at Chen Bai's seriousness, Zhou Ling could only say something. Listened with a serious face.
Being able to exchange ideas with other swordsmiths will definitely be of great help in swordmaking.
And we receive orders every day, so we can earn a lot of spiritual stones.
But the key is, I don’t have time!
Taoist training, Tiangong Division deacon duties, and Ziyun Sect farming.
This is enough to keep him busy.
"Junior brother Zhou, the orders accepted by the sword-making department are all the responsibility of the sword-smith personally, and there will be no deduction of spiritual stones."
"Being a disciple of the inner courtyard is different from that of the outer courtyard. Every year, some disciples in the academy want to participate in the realm development. If you become a member of the Sword Forging Club, you can avoid participating in the realm development. "
Looking at Zhou Ling, there is still nothing. Chen Bai was not in a hurry and said slowly when there were signs of being tempted.
Zhou Lingnai is a Tianpin Foundation Establishment disciple and has a bright future. Naturally, he must find a way to get him into the Sword Making Department.
Hearing this, Zhou Ling raised his eyebrows. After the disciples of the Taoist Academy successfully established the foundation, they would have the task of opening up the realm every year.
At least one month.
Becoming a member of the Sword Forging Club does not require you to participate in the development of the realm, which is undoubtedly very attractive to Zhou Ling.
Although with Zhou Ling's current cultivation level, he is not afraid to participate in realm development.
It’s just that he already has a stronghold in Guyun Realm, and he will slowly expand it in the future.
There is no need to participate in the development of other areas.
Of course, if it is a Taoist regulation, then he cannot avoid it.
Immediately asked, "Senior Brother Chen, I wonder what I need to do to become a member of the Sword Forging Club?" Chen Bai smiled and said, "The Sword Forging Club does not have any big requirements, it just needs every member One month to complete a sword-making task."
Hearing this, Zhou Ling nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, Senior Brother Chen, then I will join the sword-making department!"
Chen Bai immediately smiled and said seriously, "Okay, after the things here are finished, Junior Brother Zhou can go to the Sword Forging Department to receive the identity jade medal."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!"
Zhou Ling cupped his hands and thanked him.
Chen Bai smiled and nodded, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
"Okay, all the disciples entering the Sword Forest this time are here. I will introduce to you the precautions for entering the Sword Forest!"
At this time, Wu Jiaoxi walked into the monastery, glanced at everyone, and said in a solemn tone.
"First point, there are many swords in the Sword Forest. You can only observe and learn from them after entering, but you cannot take them by force."
"Otherwise, if you are attacked by a sword, you will bear the consequences."
“The second point is that after observing the sword, you have some insights, reach a resonance with the sword, and gain the approval of the sword, you can collect the sword, but each person can only collect one sword.”
“No. Three points, understand the sword's intention and collect the sword according to fate. Don't force it. Once you encounter the sword's backlash, you will lose more than you gain."
"Do you understand the above three points?"
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded and replied.
"Okay, now you each activate your sword intention and explain your situation, and I will register it!"
Wu Jiaoxi glanced at everyone and continued.
"Ye Tao, ten years ago, he understood the sharpness of the metallic sword! He can wield a sword thirty feet."
The middle-aged man sitting in front said.
At the same time, a sharp sword shining with cold light appeared in his hand.
With the injection of his spiritual power, golden sword light surged above the spiritual sword.
Wu Jiaoxi nodded, took out the jade slip and imprinted the image of Ye Tao's sword into it.
And input the information, "Ye Tao has understood the metallic sword intention for ten years, and inspired the five-inch sword light. The sword energy has not yet formed, and the sword is thirty feet long." sign.
"Chu Da, three years ago, he understood the fire-attribute sword intention of fire rock! He can control a sword twenty feet long."
Then a young man in white robe said.
Wu Jiaoxi also took out the jade slips that recorded the records and imprinted the image of the young man wielding the sword.
However, the sword light inspired by the young man was only two inches long, and it also did not condense into a formed sword intent.
·······.
"Chen Bai, who realized the Starlight Sword Intent three years ago, can control a sword sixty feet long!"
When it was Chen Bai's turn, Chen Bai took out a sword that shone with starlight and had spiritual power. Injecting it into it, the Starry Sword Qi suddenly surged.
It gives people a sense of vastness.
"Chen Bai has comprehended the Xingyao Attribute Sword Intention for three years, inspired the eight-inch sword light, the sword energy took shape, and can control the sword seventy feet."
Obviously, among the seven, Chen Bai is currently the strongest of.
Only he and another disciple condensed the sword intent into shape.
The next step is Zhou Ling.
Everyone else’s eyes were immediately attracted.
Everyone is curious to know what kind of sword intent this Heavenly Grade Foundation Establishment disciple has comprehended?
How powerful is it?
Zhou Ling thought for a while and said, "Disciple Zhou Ling, after one and a half years of mastering the fire-attributed furnace sword intention, he can control a sword of sixty feet."
As the words fell, something appeared in his hand Fire Gang Sword, a fire attribute spiritual power is injected into it, and the flaming sword light blooms.
In an instant, a palm-sized furnace was formed, and a burning aura instantly filled the entire monastery.
His Melting Pot Sword Intent was created in June last year when he was recruiting disciples at the Fourth Avenue Academy in Lingxia Fairy City.
He fought against Jin Sheng and learned from his sword intention.
It’s almost October, less than a year and a half.
And with the help of [Sword Controlling] talent, he has already been able to easily control a sword of a hundred feet, but he still has to remain modest and cautious, saying that sixty feet is enough.
“In one and a half years, the sword intention has been formed!”
"He is indeed a genius. His cultivation speed is really shameful!"
"This sword intention is much stronger than my fire rock sword intention!"
Looking at Zhou Ling's concentration Several other disciples couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when the sword energy came out.
It will take at least three years for them to comprehend the sword's meaning.
But even Chen Bai's sword energy was obviously weaker than Zhou Ling's furnace sword energy.
Needless to say about others.
Now I can truly see the power of a Heavenly Grade Foundation Establishment disciple.
Admiration also appeared in their eyes.
What would they think if they knew that in addition to comprehending the Melting Pot Sword Intent, Zhou Ling also had four other attributes of Sword Intent?
“Zhou Ling, after one and a half years of comprehending the fire-attributed furnace sword intention, inspired the nine-inch sword light, the sword energy took shape, and the sword was sixty feet long.”
Wu Jiaoxi imprinted the image of Zhou Ling's sword into the jade slip and said with a look of praise.
Zhou Ling has such a level of swordsmanship at such a young age, and with the Heavenly Grade Foundation, his future is absolutely limitless.
"Okay, you will follow me to the Sword Forest. Each time you enter the Sword Forest, you only have four hours. During this time, you have to control it yourself."
"If you can get the sword, , you must report to me then!”
After Wu Jiaoxi collected the jade slips, he followed the instructions.
Afterwards, everyone left the monastery and transformed into eight spiritual lights, leaping towards the mountainside of Chunyang Peak.
Although it has been some time since he entered the foundation building, this is Zhou Ling's first time flying in the air.
It still feels a bit exciting.
Flying in the air without resorting to other means is a sign that differentiates Foundation Establishment Dan monks from Qi training monks.
Although Zhou Ling was flying in the air for the first time, his control was extremely good and his speed was not slower than others.
After a while, they came to a magnificent pavilion halfway up the mountain.
This is the so-called sword forest of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy!
To be precise, it may be more appropriate to call it Jiange.
As soon as he entered the sword pavilion, Wu Jiaoxi said to everyone in a deep voice, "This is the sword pavilion. There will be different swords on the sword platform."
"What can you understand? What you get depends on your own opportunities!”
After Wu Jiaoxi finished speaking, he sat cross-legged and meditated on a futon nearby, and warned, "Remember, there are only four hours!"
Hearing Wu Jiaoxi's words, everyone looked excitedly into the Jiange Pavilion. Rows of sword stands.
Looking across it, Zhou Ling felt a sense of vastness.
I couldn't help but marvel in my heart, "This is the foundation of the Taoist Temple!"
I saw jade platforms and swords, endless, vast and spectacular.
On the jade platform, there are swords with different attributes, different lengths, shining with different light, and blooming with different auras.
It's a little bit white and gleaming, a little soft; a little like a flame, extremely blazing; a little heavy sword without edge, but extremely thick; one after another, the breath is different.
At a glance, people feel dazzled.
From time to time, swords whizzed past in the air, emitting a chilly air that made people feel chilly.
“Everyone, please act individually. There are only four hours, so don’t miss the opportunity. Next time you enter, you will need another three hundred points!”
Chen Bai said to everyone with a smile, and then walked quickly towards the row of jade platforms in front.
Everyone else also walked towards different jade platforms.
On the other hand, Zhou Ling was still standing where he was, not in a hurry to act.
