Chapter 65: The Sword of Light and Shadow

The days in Zixiao Gate can be described as calm, every seven days Luo Jianchen and the new disciples go to the Leaf Pavilion to listen to the sermon, and every other month Zhao Zhaocheng will personally teach the disciples the way of making weapons, and then arrange for the disciples to practice the art of making weapons.

Luo Jianchen also learned some techniques of making weapons from Jiang Yunfan, and now he has the guidance of Zhao Zhaocheng, a famous teacher, and has improved a lot in the control of sealing, sealing spirits, controlling fire, and starting furnaces.

Although she behaved and did not cause any trouble, she still could not escape being criticized by others, and was squeezed out by the new disciples on the day she entered the door, a male cultivator of the Yin family named Yin Shicong and several male cultivators in the same room insisted on not letting her enter the door, and finally Wu Tianhua and Xuan Shuo came forward to let her move back to their residence.

She found that once the male cultivator gossiped, he was really more than the female cultivator. Fortunately, Wu Tianhua, Xuan Shuo, Wu Shendong, Lin Jicheng, and a group of old disciples of Zixiaomen took good care of him, and Zhao Yueru has always regarded her as a life-saving benefactor, and she has not suffered any more trouble.

Not living with the new disciples saves her a lot of interpersonal entertainment, Wu Tianhua is busy with the affairs of the door every day, and he rarely sees him, while Xuan Shuo is a refining maniac, occasionally seeing him in the big house, he is also buried in his own research system, and rarely asks about other things.

Luo Jianchen living with them is much more worry-free. As long as she was in the room, she practiced behind closed doors, and because of the effect of the reincarnation technique she had been taught, she was promoted to the eighth floor five months later.

In addition to cultivation, she studied the jade slip of the pure flow again and again, and was even more fascinated by the nine-lead acupuncture method, the clear flow of the introduction is an ancient medical practice, and there are also many medical exams and ancient pill prescriptions appended after the needle chapter, Luo Jianchen had to close the door to alchemy and read.

In this way, it was half a year, and it was the day when Zhao Zhaocheng taught the way of making instruments. She went to the Leaf Pavilion early in the morning,

"Today, I will teach about fire and fire control when forging swords. Zhao Zhaocheng is a middle-aged scribe who swallows water like water, and he is always tepid, so he just listened to him say slowly:

"Last time, I talked to you about the types of fire, each type of fire has a different purpose, and when refining the weapon, according to different materials, and then making good use of different fires is also the key to the completion of the instrument. The sword is the most commonly used weapon in our daily life, but different swords, different materials, with different spiritual roots and spells, its final effectiveness is not less than 10,000 kinds, for example, the dark iron can be taken as the jade fire, the ice edge fire, the agarwood stone can be taken as the purple gold forging fire, the best choice is the samadhi fire, the samadhi fire is the fire of the sun, but this fire is extremely difficult to quench, if you can't do this fire, you can take the green nitrate fire and the jade fire to match the general way of the sword of the descendants, the best choice is to take the sword cast by their own blood, so that the sword and people run in for a long time, the sword spirit can be born in the sword, followed by "

Luo Jianchen has a special affinity for the sword since he was awarded the "Qingyun Sword Technique", and her Golden Thunder Linggen Sword Cultivation is the most suitable, listening to Zhao Zhaocheng's words, he couldn't help but have the idea of forging his own sword.

It's just what kind of sword should be cast, what materials to choose, if it is an ordinary material that can be used at will, a slightly better material has to spend spirit stones to buy, those spirit stones around her are not enough for her to buy some middle and lower grade materials, and the materials that can be used to refine tools around her are really limited, and she is uncertain in her heart.

After listening to the lecture, everyone left Lingyin Pavilion, Luo Jianchen was at the end, and he heard Lin Heng, the two male cultivators walking in front, say to Zhao Zhengfei: "I heard that Yin Shicong got more than a dozen Bixi stones, let's ask him to change a few, and if it's too late, I'll change it for others." "

Zhao Zhengfei said: "This Bixi stone is a good thing for making weapons, what do you use to exchange it with him." He's not going to be taken advantage of. "

Lin Heng said mysteriously: "You will know then, he will definitely like my things." Come on. The two of them quickened their pace to chase Yin Shicong,

Luo Jianchen was overjoyed, and said secretly: "Yes, I can also use my own materials to exchange with others, but who to exchange?" "It's too risky to go to the market after thinking about it, and there are only a few people who usually intersect, and the only ones who are most likely to have good things among these people should be Wu Tianhua and Xuan Shuo. Yes, go back and try these two first.

Immediately made up her mind, she thought about the words, and when Xuan Shuo was drawing talismans in the hall alone in the evening, she took the initiative to sit down next to him, and said with a smile: Senior Brother Xuan, I have some refining materials that I want to sell, can you help me estimate the price? "

Xuan Shuo didn't raise his head and asked, "Are you short of money?" "

"Yes, today the ancestor talked about the way of forging swords, and I also want to try casting one, but I don't have enough materials on hand, so I want to sell something first. "

"Forge a sword. Obviously, this topic made him quite interested, Xuan Shuo raised his head and said, "Take your things first." "

Luo Jianchen put the prepared ice spirit and the bulb of the Blood Devouring Ghost Grass in front of him, Xuan Shuo looked at the things on the table, and a trace of joy flashed in his phoenix eyes: "These two are rare and excellent materials for sword casting, are you sure you want to sell them?" So what materials do you want to buy to forge a sword? "

"Yes" Luo Jianchen said helplessly: "I still have some of these two things, I will sell them for some spirit stones first, as for what kind of refining materials to buy, I haven't thought about it yet." Senior Brother Xuan, you said that it would be better to refine this 10,000-year-old ice spirit with what materials. Luo Jianchen didn't expect that this senior brother, who usually asks three questions and answers, would be very interested when he talked about casting, so he simply went up the pole to ask for advice.

"If this 10,000-year-old ice spirit is added to the Heavenly Sea Xuanxiang Wood, well, and combined with the Chiliu Golden Sand, it can definitely be refined into a peerless spirit sword," Xuan Shuo said thoughtfully.

Luo Jianchen shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Xuan, I have also heard of Tianhai Xuanxiang Wood, this kind of material was only available in the primeval period, and it was extinct in ancient times, and the Chiliu gold sand is also something that only existed in ancient times, and these materials cannot be bought even if they have spirit stones." "

Xuan Shuo looked at Luo Jianchen, who had a depressed look in his eyes, and said, "Senior Brother Luo, I have Tianhai Xuanxiang Wood and Chiliu Golden Sand, let's exchange them in pairs." "

"What? Luo Jianchen almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing could also happen to her, and she choked with wide eyes for a long time.

Seeing that Luo Jianchen was speechless, Xuan Shuo asked, "Isn't Senior Brother Luo unwilling?" How about I add you five more flint stones? "

Luo Jianchen said loudly: "Okay, it's a deal" She really didn't expect that she could earn another five Xuanhuo stones after choking, and she was so happy that she couldn't pounce on Xuanshuo and kiss Xuanshuo a few times, it seems that this senior brother is really stupid in refining weapons on weekdays.

However, she didn't want to take advantage of the honest man, since he exchanged ancient things with her, then she would give him back some special water, so that everyone would not suffer.

After the barter, Xuan Shuo forged a sword with her, and such an overly enthusiastic expression made her wonder if he had other intentions, but she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to accept it. Anyway, forging in the Refining Pavilion, it shouldn't be okay if you are careful.

Who would have thought that Xuanshuo would call her out before dawn the next day, and take her straight to Jinxi Lake. That was the place where Luo Jianchen first met Xuanshuo.

The more Luo Jianchen walked, the more unsteady her heart became, and halfway through, she quietly clasped the Xuanji array in her hand and asked, "Senior Brother Xuan, where are we going?" "

"Go to a quiet place. Xuan Shuo was unaware of Luo Jianchen's vigilance.

"Why isn't the sword forged in the Refining Chamber? "

"It's too noisy, and the materials we use to forge our swords are rare, so it's inevitable that others will covet them. "

Luo Jianchen slandered: "This Senior Brother Xuan looks unsuspecting to people on weekdays, but in fact, he is also very ghostly in his heart, if he really just guards against others, it can be said." "

After walking like this for a while, a lake glowing with golden light appeared in front of me, and it was not the place where I saw Xuanshuo for the first time. But she felt that something was wrong, the surrounding scenery was far from what she remembered.

I saw the green grass by the lake, the wild flowers were everywhere, a huge peach forest surrounded a corner of the world, the mist on the lake floated, lingering in the forest, the peach blossoms were in full bloom at this time, the pink flowers were full of branches, the breeze blew, the petals on the trees fell an inch, the branches were still full of light green and tender red, the fragrance was bursting in the nose, and the smoke was intoxicating. , at first glance, it looks like a fairyland on earth,

Xuan Shuo stood by the lake for a while, and then walked straight towards the lake, Luo Jianchen was startled, she remembered that Xuan Shuo was also a cultivator of the eleventh layer of qi refining, how could he walk on the lake, could it be that he used the floating technique, but she didn't see him make any moves?

If you look closely, it turns out that there is a thin layer of transparent ice condensed on the surface of the lake. What season is this, while the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the lake is still frozen, Luo Jianchen was shocked in his heart, and followed Xuan Shuo on the lake.

The thin ice looked trembling as if it would crack at any time, but it was very stable on it, and when he reached the center of the lake, Xuanshuo stood still, looked up at the sky, and said, "The hour is almost up, you can start." "

"How do you start? Luo Jianchen looked around and said secretly: "This Senior Brother Xuan is really mysterious, there is nothing here, what kind of refining weapon to take?" "

As soon as her mind fell, she saw Xuan Shuo raise his hand, a golden light flashed through the air, a small red copper furnace swirled and fell in front of the two, Xuan Shuo quickly sealed it on his chest, more than a dozen complicated handprints dazzled Luo Jianchen, with the aura released in the handprint, layers of red and purple light floated outside the red copper furnace, and the circle of light expanded more and more, gradually covering the entire lake, Xuan Shuo in the red sky looked majestic, and his demeanor was like a fairy,

Luo Jianchen was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless for a long time, this Senior Brother Xuan turned out to be a hidden master, just the Indian style before he started the furnace, it was unheard of,

A cluster of purple flames suddenly jumped out of the furnace, although it was a small flame, but it seemed to condense the qi of heaven and earth.

"Is this samadhi? Luo Jianchen was surprised again,

"This is Violet Skyfire"

At this time, Xuan Shuo suddenly stopped his gesture, turned to Luo Jianchen who was standing on the side, and said, "Senior Brother Luo, I have one more condition, if you can agree, we can officially start casting swords." "

"Senior Brother Xuan, please say it bluntly, as long as the sword dust is within its reach, you will definitely do your best. Luo Jianchen saw Xuan Shuo's stern expression, and he was worried in his heart, and he didn't know what conditions he would put forward.

"Only you know about the sword, I know it, and I know it, and Senior Brother Luo may promise not to say it to others? "

"No problem, I swear with my demons that I will never tell anyone else. Luo Jianchen agreed, and his hanging heart fell back to its original place, where could I find such a cheap thing? This senior brother is too funny, such a small request, it makes a serious one, and it scares her.

"Okay, take out all your materials, put them into the furnace according to what I said, Tianhai Xuanxiang Wood, Knot Treasure Bottle Seal Note Seven Points Aura, Ten Thousand Years of Ice Spirit, Rotation Ten Seals, from one to ten Spiritual Qi gradually increase, no, the fire is too controlled"

Luo Jianchen followed Xuan Shuo's instructions, and was in a hurry for a while, only then did he know that what he knew and learned was really a frog at the bottom of the well. I can't help but have a respect for this Senior Brother Xuan from the bottom of my heart.

In this way, it was noon unconsciously, and the materials that were put into the furnace had condensed into a prototype of a sword, but Xuan Shuo waved his hand to extinguish the fire and handed the young sword to Luo Jianchen,

"Senior Brother Xuan, why don't you continue practicing? "

"The momentum of heaven and earth has passed, let's come back tomorrow. Xuan Shuo summoned back the copper furnace and put it away, and said lightly: "The fire of qi can give birth to fire spirits, and the sword of qi can give birth to sword spirits. "

"Sword Spirit? Luo Jianchen was surprised again, you must know that the sword that can refine the sword soul is definitely not something that ordinary refiners can achieve, where is this Senior Brother Xuan, who is sacred, and actually has this ability? I was in doubt.

Before the second day, the two came to the lake again, this time Luo Jianchen was much more skilled than the previous day, Xuan Shuo was quite satisfied with this, and occasionally pointed out the places that were not in place, and Luo Jianchen immediately understood.

Today is the forty-ninth day, because the more the fire later, the control of the seal is more and more subtle, so after the thirtieth day, the whole process will be built by Xuan Shuo.

Luo Jianchen sat leisurely under the peach forest, looking at Xuan Shuo who was not far away with a focused expression, his handsome face was covered with holy brilliance, which made Luo Jianchen intoxicated for a while.

Xuan Shuo, Luo Yi, and Shu Yan are the kind of people who will forget themselves once they are obsessed with things, and it is their similarity that makes Luo Jianchen and Xuan Shuo have a special peace of mind and cordiality when they get along.

A red light rose from the golden furnace, and the sword qi of Sen Sen enveloped the entire lake in an instant.

Luo Jianchen jumped up and cheered: "The sword is done,"

A smile also bloomed on Xuan Shuo's face, he reached out to catch the long sword, and said with a smile: "Don't be happy too early, the sword is just formed, and it will go through one hundred and eight refinements later,"

"What? This is just forming, and there are still one hundred and eight refinements? Luo Jianchen looked at the long sword overflowing with light in Xuan Shuo's hand, and stuck out his tongue, he really couldn't imagine what the sword would become after tempering,

"So what's next? "

"Actually, it's also very simple, use your blood to combine it with the water of special dangers, then dissolve it in the sword, and then temper it with the samadhi flame, so that the sword spirit can communicate with your heart. Xuan Shuo collected the Violet Heavenly Fire, and dozens of seals were rapidly transmitted, and a golden flame in the copper furnace was rekindled, "Senior Brother Luo, put your blood and the water of special danger together,"

Luo Jianchen hesitated in his heart, how can this blood be explained?

"Senior Brother Luo, what do you want? Hurry up,"

Luo Jianchen was ruthless, and this time he would bet on Xuanshuo's character.

She waved her hand and slashed her wrist, and a light of blood and water fell into the furnace, and Xuan Shuo seemed to be unconscious, and threw the long sword in his hand back into the furnace

In the blink of an eye, a hundred days have passed, and the repeated tempering has finally come to an end, and the remaining eight days Xuanshuo just sealed the sword in the furnace,

Luo Jianchen finally had time to ask for advice from this senior brother who she admired and threw herself to the ground: "Senior Brother Xuan, do you know what a rootless heart fire is?" "

"As far as I know, there are two kinds of rootless heart fire, one is the fire of the Nine Heavenly Thunder, and the other is the fire of the heart of the ancient divine beast, both of which are the fire of the Yang to Yin, which can be used to refine the spirit weapon of Yin and Yang. However, this kind of fire is extremely rare, and in ancient times, only Mahayana cultivators could obtain it, "Xuan Shuo knew everything about Luo Jianchen's teachings, contrary to his usual taciturnity.

Luo Jianchen's heart moved, "If it is said that it is the fire in the heart of the ancient divine beast, then I wonder if there is a way for Zhen Hao to give birth to this rootless heart fire?" "The heart is thinking to itself,

Suddenly, the light rushed straight into the sky, and suddenly the heaven and earth fell into a light and shadow.

"The sword is made" Xuan Shuo flew up, raised his hand to grab a light and shadow that rushed out of the copper furnace with Ruiqi, and laughed loudly: "Sword dust, sword is made." He handed the sword to Luo Jianchen: "Take it, your sword, choose a name." "

Luo Jianchen looked up at the sky full of light and shadow, and said with a smile: "This sword shines on the heavens and the earth, and the shadow moves Jiuzhou, so it is called light and shadow." "

"Well, the Light and Shadow Sword, a good name, it's appropriate to match this sword,"

"Senior Brother Xuan, I really don't know how to thank you,"

Xuan Shuofeng's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Luo Jianchen's face, and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, then how about allowing me three things?" "

"Three things? Luo Jianchen didn't think that this senior brother would suddenly make this request, how could she agree to this kind of obvious loss? He was stunned for a moment and said: "If it is not against heaven and humanity, ethics are common, Jian Chen will naturally agree, but,"

"Nature will not let you do anything that deviates from morality. "

"Well, well. Luo Jianchen looked at the sword in his hand, and finally nodded his head in response.
