City of the Heavens System

Chapter 6 Cultivation Techniques and Instruments

Holding the 50 oceans exchanged for gold bars in his hand (only one was exchanged, one gold bar = 50 oceans), Xie Yan suddenly felt that he had a lot more confidence to talk to people.

Youdao is money in hand, I have the world.

With "big money" in his pocket, Xie Yan was looking for high-end shops in the town. He thought that the decoration of the shops would be high-end, and the chances of finding a piece of old peach wood would be higher, so that he could make his own. peach wood sword.Unexpectedly, I have been shopping until noon and still find nothing.It suddenly occurred to me that in the movie, there seemed to be a mountain.

Moreover, in this era, the ecological environment on the mountain was not as severely damaged as it is in modern times.The most important thing is that the peach trees grown in the deep mountains are generally more spiritual than those grown in people's homes, and the power of the peach wood swords they make is also somewhat greater than usual.

So with the mentality of gaining my luck and losing my life, I went to the mountains to find it.

Not long after, I found the hill in the movie outside the town.When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I realized that the mountain is not very tall, but there is a faint spiritual agitation in the mountain.

Xie Yan was overjoyed: "This is really not a high mountain, if you have goods, you will get better!"

Looking at the sky, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon (for convenience, the time is calculated in 24 hours), and I hurried to the mountain.

Fortunately, Xie Yan, who has mana in his body, is not able to perform spells such as Yufeng Jue and Light Body Curse because of insufficient mana, but after all, his physical fitness and endurance are several times stronger than ordinary people, so he doesn't feel the same. How hard.As it gets deeper and deeper, there are more and more weeds, and the trees are getting taller and taller, covering the sky and the sun, making it more difficult for Xie Yan to find.

I searched like this for almost an hour, just when Xie Yan was about to give up, the memory of his own illness and fainting in pain suddenly flashed in his mind, "I can no longer think about eating and waiting to die like before. I can’t bear the hardships, so what about rebirth, what about the future! I want to live a brand new life!”

As soon as this sentence was finished, Xie Yan felt a burst of clarity in his mind, as if his whole body had been washed from the inside out.The Daoist qi training leaf suddenly sped up, and after a while, Xie Yan actually broke through from the second level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and directly crossed the small threshold of the third level.In fact, strictly speaking, the Qi refining period can be divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and Dzogchen.corresponding to

Initial stage: 1st to 3rd floors

Mid-term: 4th - 6th floor

Late stage: 7th - 9th floor

Dzogchen: 10th - 12th floor

But now because Xie Yan has just sublimated his own cognition, on the other hand, the reason is that the system has raised his aptitude for cultivation to a high level, and the system is assisting the operation of the exercises all the time, and this The ecological environment in the era was intact, and the spiritual energy was relatively sufficient. All these aspects combined made Xie Yan jump directly from the second floor of Qi Refining to the fourth floor of Qi Refining. Of course, this kind of situation is rare.

When Xie Yan realized it, he found that he had twice as much mana in his body. He was overjoyed for a while, but he didn't lose his composure like before.

After he settled down, he closed his eyes and searched for the direction from which the aura came.

As a cultivator improves his skills and cultivation level, he will increase his sensitivity to spiritual energy, so Xie Yan found his destination in less than a stick of incense.

Xie Yan couldn't wait to take a look at the aura, and suddenly, incomparable joy welled up in his heart.It turned out that it was a hundred-year-old tree, and that wasn't what excited him the most.The main reason is that there are obvious traces of lightning strikes on this tree!

"Lightning Strike Wood! This must be the legendary Lightning Strike Wood!" Xie Yanxi said.

The so-called lightning strike wood refers to trees that are struck by lightning in rainy days in normal growth.There is a popular saying among the folks that the lightning strike wood is split by the lightning from the sky, and the ghosts are deeply afraid of it, and it is the most powerful magic object to ward off evil spirits.Lightning wood is a general term, and trees such as jujube, peach, willow, and poplar can also be called lightning wood when they are struck by lightning.

When Xie Yan approached and took a closer look, he was even more excited. It turned out that the tree struck by lightning was actually a peach tree!

Peach: It is the essence of the five trees, so those who subdue evil spirits have the magical power of town house and evil spirits.Peach wood, also known as "subduing dragon wood" and "ghost horror wood", is the most widely used material for killing evil and controlling ghosts.What's more, this is a peach tree that has been struck by lightning, and the tree itself has the breath of thunder and fire.No matter what kind of magic weapon it is made of, it will greatly increase the lightning spells, and if it is marked with a special magic seal, it will automatically absorb the energy of the sky thunder.When attacking, the attack power of the attached thunder will increase several times out of thin air (similar to enchanting weapons in the game).

Seeing the lightning strike wood dug out from the ground, Xie Yan's face turned blue and then pale, and his eyes were full of remorse and pity. "How could this be?" It turned out that although the peach tree looks very strong, there are not many places where it can be used.Only the circle around the heart of the tree can be used to make utensils, which is about 1.3 to 1.4 meters in length.

"That's right. After all, this tree was struck by lightning, and the tree body has been burned. If the subsequent rain did not extinguish the fire, I guess what I see now is only residue. Forget it, no matter what It’s a profit if you say it, but other people’s hearts are not enough.” Xie Yan comforted himself, it’s typical to act good when you get a bargain.

Immediately, he picked up the heart of the peach tree, used his mana to feel the spiritual power in the wood, and was overjoyed again, because this peach tree is not hundreds of years old, but at least hundreds of years old, and with the addition of thunder and fire, It is definitely a rare treasure to make a magic weapon.

Turning his head to look at the sky, he found that the sun had almost set, so he couldn't wait, picked up the heart of the tree, and went back to make the magic weapon.

When I got back to Yizhuang, Uncle Jiu just came back. He said hello to Uncle Jiu, saying that he wanted to refine the magic weapon, so he didn't need to call him when he was eating, so he hurriedly ran to the back room.

After entering the room, he closed the door behind him, and carefully placed the lightning strike wood on the table with excitement.After careful observation, it was so dark in the mountains after all, so I didn't pay much attention.I saw that the heart of this section of Thunder Tree is about 1.3 meters long. In addition to being very suitable for making mahogany swords, it can also be used to make some other small magic tools.The magic weapon that Xie Yan wanted most was the mahogany sword.

If a Taoist priest does not have a mahogany sword by his side, although he will not be ridiculed by his fellow Taoists, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of his fellow Taoists.You must know that this mahogany sword is the most common, most commonly used, and also the most basic type of magic weapon for Maoshan warlocks.Not having a mahogany sword will not only reduce the attack power of oneself and spells, but also reduce the deterrent effect on ghosts and evil things.

In addition, Xie Yan was worried that he was inexperienced in catching ghosts and subduing demons, so he agreed to suffer a disadvantage, so as not to be unable to react to being attacked by ghosts.So in order to prevent problems before they happen, first refine a mahogany sword, and then use the remaining lightning wood to make a few ornaments.Used for protection from evil spirits.In his words, output and defense must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be steady.

However, it wasn't until Xie Yan picked up the Lightning Strike Wood to refine the magic weapon that he realized a very important thing: "Who will tell me how to refine the mahogany sword! I don't even know it! Nine-year obligation Education didn't teach this!" Xie Yan was on the verge of crying.After being in a daze for a while, I remembered something, "Maybe there is a method of making peach wood sword in the Maoshan technique I practiced?"

There is no way, a dead horse is a living horse doctor. At this time, I can only pray in my heart that the Maoshan technique exchanged by the system will be powerful.Otherwise, no matter how good the material is, it will be impossible to start with.

Afterwards, Xie Yan quickly closed his eyes, recalling the Maoshan technique in his mind.

At this time, Xie Yan discovered a problem, although it was because of the system.Let him learn all the theoretical knowledge in an instant, which is equivalent to saving more than ten years of effort.But when it's actually used in battle, it's a horrible sight. It is estimated that when it comes to real fighting, the first unlucky one is yourself.

So taking this opportunity, he decided to carefully sort out the knowledge instilled in him by the system from beginning to end.

After a long time, Xie Yan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed: "It's no wonder that such precious knowledge left by our ancestors will be gradually lost. Even if you have learned it, you still don’t understand it, and most of them have only a half-knowledge.”

It turns out that Maoshan's techniques are divided into six chapters, namely "Cultivation Chapter", "Spell Chapter", "Fulu Chapter", "Shoujue Chapter", "Footwork Chapter", and "Array Chapter".

Although there is no cultivation chapter in the Maoshan technique instilled by the system, even so, the content contained in each of the remaining five chapters is enough to give anyone a headache.

Fortunately, Xie Yan's exercises were exchanged systematically, and all the knowledge had been firmly engraved in his mind, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

To put it bluntly, compare the spells in Maoshan Secret Art to the skills in the game, and Xie Yan's situation is that he knows all the skills, but his proficiency is not enough. This is one of the problems.There is another problem, that is, its own mana is not enough.

Offensive spells like the spells have very high requirements on the practitioner's own mana.For example, the fire-type spell "Purgatory Real Fire", the thunder-type spell "Thunderbolt Nine Heavens", the water-type spell "Snow and Ice", etc., may be backlashed due to lack of mana just after doing the starting gesture.

There are also some auxiliary spells, such as "Tiangang Battle Qi" to strengthen oneself, "Five Qi Chaoyuan" to restore one's own injuries, etc. Although the requirements for mana are not high, the higher the self-cultivation level, the better the spell effect.

And Xie Yan is only at the fourth level of Qi refining, with his mana, he can only cast some elementary spells, such as the Five Thunder Curse, the Xuanbing Curse, the Fire Cloud Curse, etc.Hearing the name, it dropped a notch, and one can imagine that the power must not be much stronger.But this is not necessarily the case, it still depends on the practitioner himself.

For example, after one's self-cultivation is advanced, a small five-thunder curse is as powerful as an intermediate spell, and because the thunder spell is the most offensive of all spells, it can be calculated seriously, and its power can be as high as It is better than ordinary intermediate spells.

All in all, just one point, as long as your cultivation base is profound, no matter how small the power of the spell can be cast in your hands, it can turn decay into magic!

As for the other four chapters, the content included is not less than that of the magic chapter. Fortunately, the system has summarized them, otherwise Xie Yanguang would have spent a lot of time sorting them out.

Talismans: The spell types of Talismans are mostly the same as the spells mastered by the caster. The biggest advantage is that they can be drawn in advance, and they can be thrown out directly in battle with hand formulas, which is convenient and saves mana.There are also some talismans that can be used without Taoism, which are popular talismans.

Hand Jue: It is about the hand jue formed when casting spells. Hand Jue is also called Fa Jue, Dou Jue, Shen Jue, etc. It is a finger art formula commonly used by Taoism. It is divided into "single jue" and "double jue", that is, single jue There are more than [-] kinds of hand-moving formulas and two-handed formulas, which will be mentioned later.

Footwork: In Taoist terminology, it is called stepping, stepping, stepping, and stepping.There are about thirty kinds commonly used.But there are only two kinds that we have come into contact with in film and television or in real life, namely Baguagang and Beidougang, also known as Tiangang Baguastep and Beidouqixinggangstep (mostly called "Beidouqixingstep").

Formation articles: can be divided into three categories, namely auxiliary type, attack type, and defensive type.It will be mentioned later, so I won’t go into details here.

If it wasn't for the help of the system, any one of these five articles would be enough for Xie Yan to study for a lifetime.But this is not what Xie Yan needs most now, how to make a mahogany sword when he needs it most.

With an uneasy mood, just when Xie Yan was about to give up searching.Suddenly found that in the last few pages of this book, there was a detailed introduction to the making methods of mahogany swords and some conventional instruments. Xie Yan looked at it carefully as if he had found a treasure.

It took a long time to open my eyes.He breathed a deep sigh of relief, "The making of this mahogany sword is easier than I imagined." Because this piece of lightning strike wood itself already has the energy of thunder and fire, there is no need to engrave any runes on the sword body. In this way, the power of thunder and fire is more pure.Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the lightning strike wood and started to carve.

Because there is a pattern of the mahogany sword in my mind, unless I carve it myself, as long as I carve it according to the pattern in my mind, it will be absolutely fine.

I saw that he cut the lightning strike wood to a length of about 1 meters (the general size of peach wood swords is between 1cm and 90cm), and he put the rest aside.

First, he roughly carved the shape of the sword on the lightning strike wood, and then carved patterns on the hilt and the guard.He carefully carved every pattern on the hilt, and compared it meticulously with the shape of the mahogany sword in his mind.Then the engraved pattern was polished carefully, and finally a gossip pattern was carved on the front and back of the hilt.

Because gossip represents everything in the world and is the original source of all phenomena in nature and human society, and it has the function of driving away evil and avoiding disasters.For the magic weapon itself, there is also a certain improvement.

Originally, Xie Yan was worried that he would not be able to control the heat of the carving on these details, but later on when he was carving, he realized that his worry was for nothing.

Due to the practice of Daomen's Qi training technique, his physical fitness is not what it used to be, and he is more confident about the carvings on these details.

After a long time, Xie Yan finally finished carving the patterns and gossip patterns on the sword. He heaved a sigh of relief and shook his numb hands.After resting for a while, the fine carvings on the sword body were optimized.

After a long time, the sword body became slender, revealing the exquisite sword body.Xie Yan held the mahogany sword in his hands, looking like he couldn't put it down.After all, this is his first magic weapon, and the material itself is so high, and he made it by himself, maybe this magic weapon will accompany him for a long time.

However, just carving it is not considered a success. If a mahogany sword is not consecrated, [-]% of its own power can only be exerted to [-]%.Next, Xie Yan will consecrate the peach wood sword.The real consecration of dharma artifacts is not just like those in temples or Taoist temples, just recite a few lines of scriptures.Xie Yan's mahogany sword made of lightning strike wood is a high-end magic weapon.According to the records in Maoshan Jufa, consecration of a high-level magic weapon like this requires blood essence and special magic formulas!

The so-called essence of blood is where the essence of the human body is. There is no impurity in all blood, and it is the purest existence.To describe its preciousness in detail, the blood essence of an ordinary ascetic is only a few dozen drops.There are two benefits of consecration of essence and blood, one is that it can enhance the potential and power of the magic weapon itself, and the other is that it can make the owner of the magic weapon more comfortable to use.

Because once a cultivator has a magic weapon, he will generally cultivate the magic weapon first, so that he can reach the state of mind-to-heart connection.The most obvious is to refine a drop of blood essence into a magic weapon.In this way, even if you don't practice techniques such as Yujian Jue, you can still achieve the effect of Yujian against the enemy through the induction of the magic weapon.

Conversely, if the magic weapon cannot communicate with the owner's mind, then not only will the power of the magic weapon not be exerted, but it will also be affected to some extent.

Since the improvement effect of the blood essence on the magic weapon is so obvious, then relatively, the loss of the blood essence will also cause great damage to oneself. If the loss is too much, it will hurt the foundation of the person, and what is more serious is death.However, Dao 49, Tian Yan [-] is one of them.The lost essence and blood can also be made up with medicines, but those medicines are all treasures, something that cannot be sought after encountering them.One can imagine how much Xie Yan cared about this magic weapon when he made up his mind to consecrate it with blood essence.

He bit his middle finger to force out a drop of blood, which dripped lightly onto the wooden sword.After thinking about it, he became ruthless and said, "Damn, people will die for ten thousand years! Or don't do it, if you want to do it, do your best and fight!" After speaking, he forced out a few drops of blood, Afterwards, Xie Yan quickly pinched a formula, and saw that the blood essence dripping on the sword spread rapidly towards the surroundings as if it had some guidance.

After a while, the essence and blood merged perfectly with the sword body.

Immediately, Xie Yan circulated the mana in his body to infuse the sword back and forth.Gradually, the mahogany sword exuded a burst of blood-red spiritual light, and there was even a trace of electric arc in the light, and then a mighty but fiery breath emerged from the mahogany sword.

After about half an hour, the aura gradually faded away, which also indicated that Xie Yan's magic weapon had been consecrated successfully!At this time, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and only a bright moon was seen hanging in the sky.

And Xie Yan, who had lost a few drops of blood essence because of making the mahogany sword, suddenly felt his world spinning, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly supported the table.

It turned out that he was exhausted too much, and because he was so concentrated when he was refining the mahogany sword, he suddenly relaxed, but he couldn't hold it anymore, he barely raised his hand and put the mahogany sword on the table, and then fell down Fell asleep.
