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.

There is a way to have money in hand, and I have it in the world.

Xie Yan, who had a "huge amount of money", was looking for shops in the town that looked very high-grade, thinking that the store decoration would be high-end, and the chance of finding a peach wood of the previous year would be greater, so that he could make a peach wood sword. I didn't expect to wander around until noon and still found nothing. I suddenly thought that in the movie, it seems that a mountain has appeared.

Moreover, in this era, the ecological environment on the mountain was not as seriously damaged as it is in modern times. The most important thing is that the peach wood that grows in the deep mountains is generally more spiritual than the one grown at home, and the power of the peach wood sword made is also a little greater than usual.

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

After a while, I found the hill in the movie outside the town. When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I found that the mountain was not tall, but there was a faint aura in the mountain.

Xie Yan was overjoyed in his heart: "This is really not a mountain, and if there is goods, it will be spiritual!"

After looking at the sky, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon (for convenience, the time is calculated in a 24-hour format), and hurriedly walked up the mountain.

Fortunately, Xie Yan, who has mana, although he can't cast spells such as the Wind Resist and the Light Body Spell because of his lack of mana, after all, his physical fitness and endurance are several times stronger than ordinary people, so he doesn't feel much effort. As he went deeper and deeper, there were more and more weeds, and the trees became taller and taller, covering the sky and the sun, which made it more difficult for Xie Yan to find him.

After searching for almost an hour, just when Xie Yan wanted to give up, the memory of fainting in pain suddenly flashed in his mind, "I can't think about eating and waiting to die like before, if I can't even endure this bit of suffering, then what kind of rebirth and future can I talk about! I want to live a new life!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Xie Yan felt a burst of clarity in his mind, and the whole person seemed to have been washed from the inside out. The Dao Gate Qi Cultivation Technique Leaf suddenly sped up, and after a while, Xie Yan actually broke through from the second layer of Qi Refining to the fourth layer of Qi Refining, and directly crossed the small threshold of the third layer. In fact, strictly speaking, the Qi refining period is also divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the Great Perfection. Corresponding to each other

Initial stage: 1-3 floors

Medium-term: 4-6 floors

Late stage: 7-9 floors

Dzogchen: 10-12 floors

And now because Xie Yan has just sublimated his own cognition, on the one hand, the reason is that the system has improved his cultivation qualifications to the top, and the system is assisting the operation of the exercises all the time, and the ecological environment in this era is intact, the aura is relatively sufficient, and all the aspects are combined, so that Xie Yan jumped directly from the second layer of qi refining to the fourth layer of qi refining, of course, this situation is unavoidable.

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

After settling down, he closed his eyes and searched in the direction where the aura came from.

With the improvement of the exercises and the improvement of cultivation, cultivators will improve their own perception of aura, so in less than a stick of incense, Xie Yan has found his destination.

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

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

The so-called lightning strike tree refers to a tree that is normally growing and is struck by lightning on a rainy day. There is a popular saying among the people that the lightning strike wood is split by the thunder and lightning of the heavens, and the ghosts are deeply afraid of it, and it is the most powerful magic object to ward off evil. Lightning strike wood is a general name, such as jujube wood, peach wood, willow wood, poplar and other trees can also be called lightning strike wood.

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

Peach: It is the essence of the five woods, so the one who suppresses the evil spirit also has the magic skill of warding off evil in the town. Peach wood, also known as "dragon wood" and "ghost wood", is the most widely used material for killing evil spirits and making ghosts. What's more, this is a peach tree that has been struck by lightning, and the wood itself is dyed with the breath of thunder and fire. No matter what kind of magic weapon is made, it will have a very large amplification effect on the thunder spell, and if it is marked with a special magic seal, it will absorb the energy of the heavenly thunder on its own. When attacking, the attack power of the attached Celestial Thunder will increase several times out of thin air (similar to enchanting weapons in the game).

Looking at the lightning strike wood dug out of the ground, Xie Yan's face turned blue and white for a while, and his eyes were full of remorse and pity. "How so?" it turned out that although the peach tree looked stout, there were not many places that could really be used. Only the circle in the center of the tree can be used for the craft, which is about 1.3 to 1.4 meters in length.

"Also, this tree has been struck by lightning after all, and the body of the tree has burn marks. If it hadn't been for the ensuing rain that extinguished the fire, I guess all I saw was the dregs of the fire. That's it, no matter how you say it, it's earned, and other people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. Xie Yan comforted himself, a typical bargain is still good.

Immediately picked up the heart of the peach tree, ran the mana to feel the spiritual power in the wood, and there was a burst of joy in his heart, because this peach wood is not hundreds of years, but at least hundreds of years old, plus the thunder and fire infusion, it is definitely a rare treasure to make a magic weapon.

Turning his head to look at the sky, he found that the sun was almost setting, so he couldn't wait, picked up this piece of tree heart, and went back to refining the magic weapon.

returned to Yizhuang, and it happened that Uncle Nine also came back, and said hello to Uncle Nine, saying that he wanted to refine magic weapons, and he didn't need to call him for dinner, so he ran to the back room in a hurry.

After entering the house, he reflexively closed the door, and with excitement, carefully placed the lightning strike wood on the table. After looking closely, it was so dark in the mountains, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I saw that the heart of this lightning strike wood tree is about one meter three, in addition to being very suitable for making peach wood swords, it can also make some other small magic weapons. The magic weapon that Xie Yan wanted the most was the peachwood sword.

A Taoist priest, if he does not have a peachwood sword by his side, although he will not be ridiculed by his peers, he will definitely not be able to raise his head in front of his fellow Taoists. You must know that this peachwood sword is the most common, most commonly used, and most basic type of magic weapon among Maoshan warlocks. Not having a peachwood sword will not only reduce the attack power of self and spells, but also reduce the deterrent power of ghosts and evil creatures.

In addition, Xie Yan was worried that he was inexperienced in catching ghosts and subduing demons, so he agreed to suffer a loss, so as not to be attacked by ghosts and not be able to react. Therefore, in order to prevent trouble, first refine a peachwood sword, and then use the remaining lightning strike wood to make a few more ornaments. It is used for exorcism and protection. In his words, both output and defense should be grasped with both hands, and both hands should be steady.

However, it wasn't until Xie Yan picked up the lightning strike wood and prepared to refine the magic weapon that he realized a very important thing: "Who will tell me how to refine the peach wood sword? I don't know how to do it at all! I haven't taught this in nine years of compulsory education!" Xie Yan was about to cry. I was in a daze for a while before I remembered one thing, "Maybe there is a method of making a peach wood sword in the Maoshan technique I practiced, right?"

There is no way, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and at this time, I can only pray in my heart that the Maoshan spell exchanged by the system will be powerful. Otherwise, no matter how good the material is, there is no way to start.

Then Xie Yan quickly closed his eyes, and recalled the Maoshan technique in his mind.

At this time, Xie Yan found 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 is really used in battle, it is called a miserable one, and when it is estimated that the real fighting method, the first unlucky person is himself.

So taking this opportunity, he decided to carefully comb through the knowledge that the system had instilled in him from beginning to end.

After a long time, Xie Yan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed: "No wonder such valuable knowledge left by the ancestors will be slowly lost, it's not that the younger generations don't want to learn, it's that they really can't learn it, even if they learn it, they can't learn it, most of them are half-understood." ”

Originally, Maoshan magic was divided into six chapters, namely "Cultivation", "Spells", "Runes", "Tricks", "Footwork", and "Formations".

Although there is no cultivation chapter in the Maoshan Technique instilled by the system, even so, each of the remaining five articles is taken out separately, and the content contained is enough to give anyone a headache.

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

To put it bluntly, the spells in the secret art of Maoshan are compared to the skills in the game, and Xie Yan's situation is that he knows all the skills, but the proficiency is not enough, which is one of the problems. There is also a problem, that is, the lack of mana.

Offensive spells like those in the Spell Chapter, which require a cultivator's own mana, are very high. For example, the fire-based spell "Purgatory True Fire", the thunder-based spell "Thunder Nine Days", and the water-based spell "Wind, Snow and Ice Sky", etc., may have just made a starting move, and they were eaten back because of their own lack of mana.

There are also some auxiliary spells, such as strengthening one's own "Tiangang Battle Qi", and the "Five Qi Chaoyuan" to restore one's own injuries, etc., although the requirements for mana are not high, but the higher one's cultivation, the better the spell effect.

And Xie Yan was only able to refine the fourth layer of qi, and with his mana, he could only cast some elementary spells, such as the Five Thunder Spell, the Xuanbing Spell, the Fire Cloud Spell, and so on. Listening to the name, it drops a notch, but it is conceivable that the power is definitely not great. But this is not necessarily, it still depends on the cultivator himself.

For example, after cultivating to a high level, a small Five Thunder Spell is as powerful as an intermediate spell, and because the Thunder Spell is the most aggressive of all spells, all of them are seriously calculated, and its power can be higher than that of ordinary intermediate spells.

Speaking of which, as long as you cultivate deeply, then no matter how powerful the spell is cast in your hands, it can turn decay into magic!

As for the other four, the content contained is no less than that of the spell chapter, fortunately, the system has been summarized, otherwise Xie Yanguang would have spent a lot of time sorting it out.

Runes: The spell types of runes are mostly the same as the spells mastered by the caster, and one of the biggest advantages is that they can be drawn in advance, and they can be thrown out directly with the trick in battle, which is convenient and saves mana. There are also some talismans that can be used without the need for Taoism, which belongs to the popular talismans.

Hand trick: It is about the hand decision when casting the spell, the hand trick is also called the magic trick, the fighting trick, the magic trick, etc., it is a commonly used finger trick of Taoism, divided into "single decision" and "double trick", that is, the one-handed trick, and the two-handed trick, as many as more than 70 kinds, the follow-up will be slowly mentioned.

Footwork: Taoist terminology called Bugang Stepping Bucket, step, referring to Yu step, Dou, referring to Beidou, generally referring to the Star Age, is an indispensable auxiliary footwork in casting. There are about 30 kinds of commonly used ones. But there are only two kinds of things we come into contact with in film and television or in real life, namely Bagua Gang and Beidou Gang, also known as Tiangang Bagua Step and Big Dipper Seven Star Gang Step (mostly known as "Big Dipper Seven Star Steps").

Formation: It can be divided into three categories, namely support, attack, and defense. It will be mentioned slowly in the future, so I won't go into details here.

If it weren't for the help of the system, any of these five articles alone 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 peachwood sword when he needs it most now.

With apprehension, just when Xie Yan was about to give up looking. Suddenly found that on the last few pages of the book, the production methods of the peach wood sword and some conventional magic weapons were introduced in detail, and Xie Yan hurriedly read it carefully.

It took a long time to open my eyes. He breathed a deep sigh of relief, "This peachwood sword is easier to make than I thought." "Because this lightning strike wood already has the power of thunder and fire, there is no need to draw a snake to engrave any runes on the sword, so that its thunder and fire power is also more pure. Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the lightning strike wood and carved it.

Because I have the pattern of the mahogany sword in my mind, unless I do it myself, it is absolutely fine as long as I carve it according to the pattern in my mind.

I saw that he cut off the lightning strike wood to a length of about 1.1 meter (the general size of the mahogany sword is between 90cm and 120cm), 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 gauntlet. He carefully carved every strand of pattern on the hilt, meticulously comparing the shape of the peachwood sword in his mind. The carved pattern is then finely polished, and finally a gossip pattern is carved on the front and back of the hilt.

Because gossip represents everything in the world, it is the original root of all phenomena in nature and human society, and it itself has the effect 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 carving of these details, but later when he was carving, he knew that he was worried in vain.

As a result of practicing the Daomen Qi Technique, his physical fitness is not what it used to be, and he is more confident about the carving on these details.

After a long time, Xie Yan finally finished carving the patterns and gossip patterns on the sword's body, he let out a sigh of relief and shook off his sour hand. After a pause, he optimized the fine carving of the sword.

After a long time, the sword body became slender, showing a delicate sword body. Xie Yan held the peachwood sword in his hand, looking unable to put it down. After all, this is his first magic weapon, and the material itself is so high, and it was made by himself, maybe this magic weapon will accompany him for a long, long time.

However, just carving it is not a success, a peachwood sword, if it is not opened, its own ten percent of its power can only be exerted three percent. Next, Xie Yan wanted to consecrate the peachwood sword. The real consecration of Dharma instruments is not like those in temples and Taoist temples where you can recite two scriptures. Like Xie Yan's peachwood sword made of lightning strike wood, it belongs to the high-end goods in the magic weapon. According to the records of Maoshan Magic, the opening of a high-level magic weapon like this requires essence blood and special magic tricks!

The so-called essence blood is the essence of the human body, and there are no impurities in all blood, the purest existence. If you want to describe its preciousness specifically, the essence blood of ordinary cultivators is only a few dozen drops. There are two benefits of the essence blood enlightenment, 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 convenient to use.

This is because once a cultivator has a Dharma weapon, he will generally cultivate the Dharma weapon first, so that he can reach the realm of mental communication. The most obvious is to refine a drop of essence blood into a magic weapon. In this way, even if you don't practice a spell such as the Edgeworth, you can still achieve the effect of Edgeworth against the enemy through the induction of the magic weapon.

On the contrary, if the magic weapon cannot communicate with the owner's mind, then the power of the magic weapon will not only not be able to exert itself, but it will also be affected in some way.

Since the effect of essence blood on the enhancement of magic weapons is so obvious, then relatively, the loss of essence blood will also cause great damage to oneself, and if there is too much loss, it will hurt the root of the person, and more seriously, it will kill Huangquan. However, the avenue is fifty, and the sky is forty-nine. The loss of sperm and blood can also be compensated for with medicines, but those drugs are all precious and unavailable. It can be imagined how much Xie Yan cared about this magic weapon when he made up his mind to use his essence blood to open the light.

I saw him bite his middle finger and force out a drop of essence blood, which gently dripped onto the wooden sword. After thinking about it, he was ruthless, "Damn, people die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years! Or don't do it, if you want to do it, you will do your best, and fight!" After speaking, he forced out a few drops of essence blood, and then Xie Yan quickly pinched a trick, only to see that the essence blood dripping on the sword body seemed to be guided and spread rapidly around.

After a while, the essence blood and the sword body were perfectly fused.

Immediately, Xie Yan used the mana in his body to inject the sword body back and forth. Gradually, the peachwood sword emitted a burst of blood-red aura, and there was a trace of electric arc in the light, and then a vast and blazing aura flowed from the peachwood sword.

After about half an hour, the spiritual light gradually faded, and at the same time, it also indicated that Xie Yan's magic weapon had been successfully opened! At this time, the sky outside the window had already darkened, and a bright moon was seen hanging in the sky.

And Xie Yan, who had lost a few drops of essence blood due to making the peachwood sword, suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly held on to the table.

It turned out that he was overwhelmed, and then because of the high concentration of his mind when he had just refined the peachwood sword, he suddenly relaxed, but he couldn't hold it anymore, and he barely raised his hand to put the peachwood sword on the table, and then fell asleep.
