Chapter 352: Temporary Acting City Lord
When he took over the Spirit Evil Gourd from Kou Chongxue's hand again, Shang Xia simply had a feeling of joy falling from the sky.
Not to mention the recovery of the function of the Spirit Evil Gourd to sense and contain the Spirit Evil, that emerald green sword qi alone was enough to greatly increase the value of this gourd.
"Below the Wugang realm, it is difficult to match the power of this sword", since this sentence came from Kou Chongxue's mouth, the sword qi in the gourd must be enough to pose a mortal threat to any fourfold heavenly martial artist!
What's even more commendable is that what Kou Chongxue left behind this time was a bit of Yuangang origin.
Even if the sword qi in the gourd is used, it can still be slowly recovered through pregnancy.
That means that the sword qi in the gourd can still be used repeatedly!
There is no treasure that can be compared to the thing in his hand, and this thing immediately rose to become the number one killer in Shang Xia's hands!
But at this time, Shang Xia heard Kou Chongxue next to him sigh with a little regret: "It's a pity that the quality of this gourd is limited after all, and it can only carry a little bit of the old man's 'Changchun Chungang' origin, otherwise if it is replaced by the old man's 'Shouyang Copper Mother Sword Qi', even the fifth-order ancestor can also cut it!"
Shang Xia's hands holding the Spirit Gourd trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "The heavy treasure given by the mountain chief is good enough!"
Unexpectedly, Kou Chongxue looked at him and nodded, and said, "Yes, you haven't advanced to the Fourth Heaven yet, even if the old man leaves a 'Shouyang Bronze Mother Sword Qi', your body can't withstand the sword qi that overflows from the gourd!"
Shang Xia: "......"
Speaking of this, Kou Chongxue's gaze swept over Shang Pei's body again, and turned to Shang Xia and said, "The old man should not stay here for a long time, so he will return to the hidden city." After the battle, the situation is chaotic, and you will stay in Changfeng City as the temporary city lord, stabilize the situation in the city, and wait for the academy to send someone to take over. ”
Hearing this, Shang Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can the disciple He De be? Moreover, to become the Lord of Changfeng City, he must at least have to cultivate the four heavens in order to suppress the martial artists of all parties inside and outside the city, and the disciple is now unable to ......catch it."
Kou Chongxue's origin incarnation at this time had re-turned into a streamer attached to the Youxue Sword, only to see this divine weapon trembling slightly, and Kou Chongxue's voice seemed to have a hint of gold and iron: "You kid don't have to be arrogant, how many people below the fourth order can be your opponents?
After that, the Youxue Sword turned in the air, and with Kou Chongxue's "Old man go", the sword had already disappeared through the void barrier on the top of the cave.
Shang Xia looked at the roof of the cave where the Youxue Sword had disappeared, and felt a little stunned for a while.
When he turned around, his eyes fell on Shang Pei, who was still with his eyes closed on the other side: "Since your old man has woken up, but you don't get up to pay a visit, it's a bit rude, that is the head of Tongyou Mountain, a fifth-order ancestor, one of the top powerhouses in the world after all!"
After a long time, just when Shang Xia thought that she was not going to ignore herself, Shang Pei's voice suddenly came faintly: "The old lady was cold at his glance and couldn't stand up!"
............
In response to the return of the Coral Forest Xuanjie by the Tongyou Academy, the destructive connection of the origin tide of the two realms, and then the great battle for the origin of heaven and earth caused by the various parties, in the end, Kou Chongxue was reborn, shocked back the strong enemies of the Quartet, and rushed to Jizhou with the origin incarnation, and the sword defeated Jizhou Sanlu and came to an end.
Although the so-called "sword defeat of Jizhou Sanlu" is somewhat exaggerated, and there are many reasons such as Kou Chongxue's sneak attack, the White Deer faction's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and the arrival of Xuanlu Ancestor afterwards, but the White Deer faction suffered a big loss in the hands of Kou Chongxue this time, and it is an indisputable fact that the origin of the blessed land was plundered in large quantities.
Since Kou Chongxue returned from Jizhou that day, Shang Xia, who was temporarily appointed as the lord of Changfeng City, has stayed in the city and never left.
Fortunately, because of this great victory of Tongyou Academy, Kou Chongxue's prestige is even more prosperous.
When Shang Xia announced that he was the acting city lord and was temporarily in charge of Changfeng City's affairs, the entire Changfeng City quickly stabilized, and even the several decrees he issued were able to be communicated and implemented smoothly.
This made Shang Xia's plan to take one or two thorns fall through in one fell swoop.
Shang Xia knew that his ability was not to be the city lord, as long as no one in the city made trouble, after a big chaos, everyone began to recuperate spontaneously, and he was naturally happy to spend more time on cultivation.
In the small courtyard in the east of the city, Shang Xia was engrossed in drawing a talisman seal that was completely different from the previous one.
At this time, there is no longer the previous shabby in this side room, but due to the small size of the room, too many things cannot be placed.
It's also funny to say that Shang Xia has experienced a series of things after advancing to the third heaven of the martial arts, so much so that he has not had much time to specialize in the art of runes and seals except for normal cultivation.
In addition, he had many encounters and cultivated all the way up, but he was still a second-order talisman master, which was somewhat inconsistent with his cultivation realm of the Great Perfection of the Three Talents Realm.
Therefore, since he temporarily assumed the position of Changfeng City Lord, because he was temporarily unable to use the Sifang Tablet to carry out the deduction of the fourth-order advanced elixir, in addition to the most basic daily cultivation and polishing his Great Perfection cultivation more handy, most of Shang Xia's energy was focused on studying the art of rune seals.
Because he has the foundation of the Seven Second-Order Sword Divine Powers Martial Talisman from himself, Shang Xia's progress in the production of the second-order Martial Talisman is actually very fast.
In addition, Shang Xia's current martial arts cultivation is a fundamental blessing, especially his strong martial arts will, after the baptism of the "Heaven and Man Induction Chapter", he is even more subtle in the process of drawing the talisman, so that Shang Xia has maintained a fairly good success rate in the drawing of the second-order martial talisman.
Because of this, after more than a month of preparation, Shang Xia finally made up his mind to start trying to draw a third-order martial talisman.
Compared with the second-order talisman, the difficulty of crafting the third-order talisman will be greatly increased.
The direct consequence of this is that even if a third-order talisman master is, the success rate of making a third-order talisman will not be too high, and the number of third-order talismans will decrease like a cliff, even in the battle of third-order martial artists.
There are many reasons for this situation, such as the difficulty of drawing the third-order talisman itself, the substantial improvement in the quality of various spiritual materials used to make talismans, the scarcity of the number of third-order talismans, and so on.
But when Shang Xia started to work on it, he immediately realized that the biggest reason was actually because of the wear and tear of the martial arts will in the production process!
The martial will itself can be regarded as a manifestation of the martial artist's belief in his own martial arts, and it is originally a "thing" that is extremely difficult to consume.
As the usual martial artists say, "I can be defeated, but I can't admit defeat", which is basically a manifestation of the will of martial arts.
Because of this, once the martial will is divided and lost, not only is it much more difficult to recover than the consumption of one's own true element, but in the process of recovery, the possibility of the martial artist losing control of the true element and going mad is also several times more than usual.
This made many talismans retreat directly when they tried to make third-order martial talismans.
Even if a talisman has really stepped into the third order, he is cautious every time he starts to make talismans.
This is also why Shang Xia is also considered an extraordinary background, and he has only had a third-order martial talisman so far.
Moreover, that martial talisman is still derived from Shang Ke's "Splitting Sky Spear", which was after his cultivation reached the third-order mastery and he had not advanced an inch for many years, so he invited the third-order talisman master of Tongyou Academy to take action, and consumed a wisp of martial arts will as an introduction to make this kind of martial talisman.
With this method, the business is continuous
divided his own martial arts will three times, but in the end, he only became two "Split Sky Spear" martial talismans.
Later, after Shang Ke recovered, he originally wanted to continue the production, but was severely stopped by Shang Bo.
And the method used by Shang Ke to make the "Split Sky Spear" talisman is actually a trick that the third-order talisman master has studied in order to avoid the loss of his own martial will.
The talisman master transfers the loss of the martial arts will to the person seeking the talisman, and at the same time, it can also reduce a considerable part of the cost of talisman making, plus the talisman seeker himself has something to ask for, so this method can be regarded as a win-win situation.
Only this kind of tricky method is much more serious for the severance of the martial arts will of the person seeking the talisman than the severance of the talisman master's own martial will.
The reason is very simple, other people's are not as handy as their own!
And if a martial artist continuously and frequently divides his martial will in a short period of time, it is very likely to have a great impact on the martial artist's own potential, which is also the fundamental reason why Shang Bo strictly stopped Shang Ke from dividing his martial will many times.
After Shang Xia began to prepare for the production of the third-order martial talisman, the news spread back to Tongyou City, and the merchant quickly sent Shang Quan to arrive, sending three third-order rune paper and a piece of high-grade rune ink, and also brought Shang Ke's stern instructions: Don't divide the martial will too much!
With the improvement of the level of the martial rune, if you want to carry the power contained in the martial talisman itself, then the material quality of the talisman itself must also be improved.
Just like these third-order rune papers, Shang Xia didn't have to think about it to know that the entire merchant didn't have enough three third-order rune papers when he turned over the old bottom, maybe there were one or two in it, which Shang Ke or Shang Bo asked for from him with his old face.
Fortunately, Shang Xia took the old nest of the City Lord's Mansion!
Yang Hu has been running Changfeng City for more than ten years, and Changfeng City is originally a thoroughfare, even if most of the net worth collected is on him, Shang Xia still found a lot of eye-catching good things in this city lord's mansion, including two third-order blank rune papers.
After that, Shang Quan gave Shang Xia an idea, and took the initiative to release the wind outside, saying that the City Lord's Mansion begged to buy third-order rune paper.
Soon after, someone really came to the door, and Shang Xia received two third-order rune papers, one side soothing the golden scale inkstone, the other contemplating the jade paperweight, and two pieces of meditation incense.
Shang Xia naturally didn't take it for nothing, but bought it with silver dollars at the price, but spent more than half of the cash silver that he had collected during this time.
Despite this, Shang Xia still understood that these things were often priceless, and those who sold them were usually more willing to barter, and the fundamental reason why they were willing to sell them in silver dollars was still to ask for something.
And these sellers had already been selected by Shang Quan before they met Shang Xia, and what they asked for was just to get the protection of Tongyou Academy, to open a trade route with Tongyou City, to buy the lot in the city at a price after the reconstruction of Tongyou City, and even to simply want to be familiar with Shang Xia in front of him.
Most of these things, in terms of Shang Xia's current prestige and status, can be decided in a word, at most, they are just asking Shang Ke to come forward and talk about something, and he still has this face.
Fortunately, Shang Xia himself was quite sober and knew that these people were flattering and flattering in front of him, not because of him, a hairy boy who was not yet twenty years old, but because of the Tongyou Academy behind him, which had gradually become a behemoth.
In fact, Shang Xia still didn't really realize how big his face was now.
Even Shang Quan, a person who is highly skilled, is unable to raise his horizons because of his own limitations.
In a sense, Shang Xia is the kind of demon who can invite Kou Chongxue to come forward and stand on the platform!
However, I am afraid that even he did not realize it.
