Chapter 37: Tianhua Disciples
"I just said that this kid is still worth our effort", Dai Tiande also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Shi Xuan seemed to see a man as warm as jade standing on the tenth step and waving at him.
Shi Xuan once again burst out with the power of his whole body, every meridian and every acupoint of his body was emitting blazing brilliance, his original countercurrent blood flowed again, all his flesh and blood were fully sublimated, and his inner potential was completely stimulated.
Jiang Heng looked at Shi Xuan at this moment, he recalled that his scene back then was also like this, "Good boy, you deserve my attention, Tianhua Sect will have a place for you in the future", Jiang Heng looked at Shi Xuan, whose potential was stimulated.
Shi Xuan's whole body's potential was completely stimulated at this moment, and he felt the tremendous power, and easily raised his legs to step up the tenth heavenly step.
On the steps, a man as gentle as jade looked at him and smiled, "Congratulations on overcoming the fear in your heart, your potential has been completely stimulated, there is a wisp of the old man's soul mark here, you can understand how much it depends on your creation", the man disappeared after speaking.
In front of Shi Xuan, a wonderful brilliance appeared, he seriously understood, he exuded all his spirit at the moment, he felt a kind of exquisite traces of the avenue, this is the sage's understanding of his life's cultivation, Shi Xuan is like a treasure.
Everyone under the stage dropped their jaws in shock, how many years have the tenth heavenly step been stepped on again, is Tianhua Sect going to give birth to a demon-like existence again?
Jiang Heng walked to the front of the stage and looked at the young man, he also felt a trace of pressure.
Lin Zi looked at this young man blankly, this brought him a painful blow, he had only been defeated by Jiang Heng in his life, at this moment there was a talented person by his side, at this moment he was not feeling good in his heart, he felt a huge pressure.
Dai Mengli, who was jubilant on the side, felt Lin Zixu's emotional changes, "Second Senior Brother, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine, I didn't expect Tianhua Sect to give birth to a second demon-like existence, will I be trampled under their feet in my life?" Lin Zixu was a little lost.
"Senior brother, we grew up together, just like relatives, who will trample you under your feet, as long as I live for a day, you will not be allowed to mess around", Dai Mengli said angrily.
"I'm just complaining, it's nothing, as long as I can be by my sister's side, why am I dissatisfied?" Lin Zixu looked at Dai Mengli like a jade.
"It's okay if you're okay, I just hope that our brothers and sisters can get along in harmony," Dai Mengli said.
"This kid, the old man's heart has moved again, otherwise he will practice with me in the future, right?" Dai Tiande said.
"Senior brother, you have three outstanding disciples, if you snatch such a good seedling, I will have to find a master to judge," said an elder next to him.
"Just talking, I haven't been taking apprentices for ten years, and now it's an eventful time, and I don't have time to care about these juniors," Dai Tiande said.
"I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Xie's arrest of Wang Zhuo?" the peak master of the Heavenly Rank Peak asked.
"My prison hall has already wanted to issue the highest black notice on the entire continent, and as long as anyone finds out his whereabouts, our major sects will work together to surround and kill him," Xie Tianxing said.
"This bastard, we must send elite people to do it, and we must not let him grow up, otherwise there will be endless troubles," Dai Tiande said.
"Senior Sister Ji, this year is the triennial year of my Tianhua Sect, have you made a lot of preparations?"
A middle-aged beautiful woman next to her said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, we are ready, and it will officially start in a month."
"I also heard Jiang Heng and the three of them say that the two disciples of the Moon Worship Sect actually showed a powerful astrology in the ancient ruins this time, relying on this spiritual skill, they were able to successfully avoid many dangers and directly find the place of treasure, if it wasn't for the ancient flamingos, then Jiang Heng and they might not have gained anything?" Dai Tiande looked at Elder Xu, who was in charge of intelligence, and said.
"I also support Jiang Heng about this matter, they have been less and less concerned about our family in the Moon Worship Sect over the years," Elder Xu said.
"The Moon Worship Sect has been dormant for thousands of years, and it suddenly came out thirty years ago, and as soon as it appeared, it gave all of us a disadvantage, and their astrology is really as terrifying as it is rumored?" Xie Tianxing asked.
"It is definitely not to be underestimated, the Lunatic Worship Sect lineage is much older than ours, even going back to before the Great Tribulation happened 10,000 years ago, and in that distant era, they were already one of the holy places at that time," said a white-haired elder.
"I just hope that they can abide by the basic agreement of the year, otherwise they will be the biggest stumbling block to our development", Dai Tiande's eyes tightened, and he clenched his fists and said.
"I will increase intelligence detection and monitor their every move at all times," Elder Xu said.
At this time, Shi Xuan finally finished his comprehension on the steps, and he began to walk down, and Jiang Heng also nodded to him.
Shi Xuan went straight to the side of the master and said, "Kid Shi Xuan is fortunate to have completed the second test without dishonoring his life, and he also asked Uncle Xie to take the third test."
"Actually, I think these two tests are enough to prove his talent and perseverance, and I can forget about this third test, right?" Dai Tiande said.
"Senior brother, I have nothing to say, if the old man insists on it again, it seems that the old man is unreasonable, since all the elders and the sect leader have agreed to exempt you from the third test, and the old man has also agreed to exempt you, you will be the introductory disciple of my Tianhua Sect from today onwards", Xie Tianxing announced in public.
Shi Xuan knelt down and bowed to the elders and the sect leader, and Dai Tiande helped him up, "After today, you will be a disciple of our Tianhua Sect, since you have passed the special test, then the sect will give you some rewards to show recognition, and at the same time exempt you from the selection of new recruits next month, if it weren't for the fact that the old man has not accepted an apprentice for ten years, he is willing to accept you as an apprentice, and now he can only let you go to other peaks to practice." Which peak master is willing to take him as an apprentice?" Dai Tiande looked around.
"Although the old man put forward three harsh tests for him before, it was also for his sake, as a very talented fire spirit master, it was also a good choice for him to come to my prison hall", Xie Tianxing said.
"Senior Brother Xie's words are just right, who said that the fire spirit master has to be taught by the fire master, and the cultivation is the same way, can't our other peaks teach him? I, Kamikaze Hall, am willing to ask for him," said Ji Xinyi of Kamikaze Hall.
"I, Heavenly Sword Peak, am willing to accept him as an apprentice, I think he has extremely strong melee combat ability, which is very suitable for the old man's Dao," said Yao Yuansheng of Heavenly Sword Peak.
"Don't fight, the old man sees that he is wearing an excellent spirit armor, do you think these spirit armors are from your own hands?" asked an elder.
"Elder Hui, these spirit armors are indeed forged by the kid himself," Shi Xuan said.
"Then this disciple, the old man wants it, you have no opinion, the old man's spirit forging technique, I am worried that there is no good disciple inheritance, and the spirit armor on your body has entered the old man's eyes", the elder said happily.
"You see, you all have a few good disciples, but Senior Brother Du's spiritual forging technique has not yet met a suitable successor, why don't you let Senior Brother Du accept him as an apprentice?" Dai Mengli looked around.
"Since Senior Brother Du rarely speaks once, it is not easy to win people's love as a senior brother, but Shi Xuan, as long as you want to study, you can come to my prison hall to find me at any time", Xie Tianxing said.
"Thank you for the kindness of a few elders, I will follow Master Du to practice the Spirit Forging Technique", Shi Xuan accepted the invitation of the Spirit Forging Hall, Du Chunhua.
Shi Xuan walked forward and bowed to Du Chunhua three times, which could be regarded as completing the apprenticeship ceremony, Du Chunhua helped him up, "In the future, you will practice here with me, the spirit forging master is a respectable profession on the mainland, and it will not bury your brilliance", Du Chunhua said happily.
"Okay, the matter of entering can be regarded as coming to an end, Shi Xuan will be practicing here with Senior Brother Du, and your other disciples are also feeling the pressure today, he is just a rookie disciple who has just stepped into the Lingyuan Realm, and he has passed the tenth heavenly level, in the future, each of you must spur yourself on and practice hard", Dai Tiande taught all the disciples.
"Disciples, remember the teachings," everyone replied respectfully.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Shi Xuan for becoming a disciple of Tianhua Sect, I will be your senior sister from now on, you can come to me if you have any difficulties", Dai Mengli said.
"Thank you Senior Sister for taking care of me recently, I can't repay the great kindness," Shi Xuan thanked.
"Tianhua Sect is not a comfortable nest, the competition here is cruel, you must not slack off in the future, you must practice diligently", Jiang Heng also reminded.
"I'm looking forward to your growth, and I hope you won't let down the sword in my hand in the future," Lin Zixu said.
Shi Xuan returned the salute one by one, and then followed Du Chunhua to the peak exclusive to their Spirit Forging Hall.
Although the Spirit Forging Hall is not as good as the main peak of Tianhua Mountain, it is also a huge independent mountain, and there are hundreds of disciples in the hall. As a respected profession on the mainland, the spirit forging master will not be without reason, almost every spirit master will forge a set of equipment for himself when he travels the continent, but the conditions for becoming a spirit forging master are harsh, only people with fire attributes or metallic nature can become high-level spirit forging masters, in addition to attributes, they also need extremely high talents.
The first, second, and third-order spirit forging masters on the continent are running all over the ground, but there are only a handful of spirit forging masters above the fourth order, and the more they get to the back, the higher the requirements for talent.
As a strategic-level place of the sect, the Spirit Forging Hall is very crucial, most of the spirit forging equipment of many people in the sect comes from here, and few people are willing to offend the people of the Spirit Forging Hall.
Even Xie Tianxing of the Prison Hall had to give Du Chunhua some face, after all, a fifth-order high-end spirit forging master had great prestige, and even the head of the sect had times when he begged him for help, which was also the main reason why Xie Tianxing did not compete with him for Shi Xuan.
Although the status of the Spirit Forging Hall is high, but Du Chunhua has not met a disciple who satisfies him over the years, these years, the strength of their Spirit Forging Hall is indeed the weakest among all the peaks, except for the Spirit Forging Technique, their combat strength is at the bottom every year.
This has almost become Du Chunhua's heart disease, although there are not a few disciples who come to him every year to practice spirit forging techniques, but there are too few who can get their hands on it.
Even if the head coach wants to help, there is no way, after all, it is not a strong person who can carry out spiritual forging, which requires talent.
When Du Chunhua saw Shi Xuan and Zhang Lai fighting on the first day, he saw Shi Xuan's spirit forging talent, he secretly looked for the master, hoping to leave Shi Xuan to him, he had never found anyone for personal matters for many years, this time, Dai Tiande could not refuse, which was also the reason why Dai Tiande insisted on exempting Shi Xuan from the third test.
The first feeling for Shi Xuan here is that it is in full swing, there are many spirit forging furnaces large and small on this mountain, their spiritual fires are urging around the clock, people come to customize spirit armor, weapons and spiritual weapons every day, and many disciples are busy every day.
Du Chunhua found a disciple who specially led Shi Xuan around the mountain to familiarize him with the environment here.
Shi Xuan walked through a lot of forging places, saw the mountains of spiritual materials, looked at the countless busy figures, he knew that this was the place he should come to, from time to time there were bursts of charming forging sounds, Shi Xuan knew that this must be Master Du's exclusive hammer method, Shi Xuan had never been in contact with such a special forging hammer method since he had practiced Zhong Wei's set of hammer methods, and he was also full of expectations.
Shi Xuan turned around the entire mountain, the environment here is elegant, the foot of the mountain is bottomless, the clouds and mist are like a fairyland, it is said that there is a huge spirit gathering formation inside the Tianhua Sect, which can gather spiritual energy from the vast heaven and earth for cultivators to cultivate, Shi Xuan obviously felt this rich aura.
Directly in front of the mountain peak is a magnificent hall, which is the only place where Du Chunhua teaches his disciples, and the big things in the sect will also be announced here, and there are large houses on both sides, and these places are the accommodation areas of the disciples.
The two sides of the mountain peak and the house behind the mountain are all forging places, there are many furnaces in them, the grades are different in size, several disciples share a furnace, every day they will come here to practice spirit forging in addition to normal practice.
In front of the main hall is an open field, with martial arts arenas and pavilions for practice, a beautiful stone bridge leading to Tianhua Peak, and a deep valley shrouded in mist below. The whole mountain peak aura is compelling, verdant and dripping, Shi Xuan feels this ethereal and elegant mountain wind, here is extremely close to the natural avenue, where it is easier to understand the morality of heaven and earth, which is extremely precious for cultivation.
After a few days of familiarizing himself with the environment, Shi Xuan basically adapted to life here, and he also learned the basic situation of the Spirit Forging Hall. There are not a few disciples in the Spirit Forging Hall, but there are not many people who can get Du Chunhua's true inheritance, there are many second-order and third-order spirit forging masters, but there are only a handful of people who can step into the fourth order, even if a few people successfully reach the fourth order, their forging process and success rate are not recognized by Du Chunhua.
Although Shi Xuan is still only a second-order spirit forging master, Du Chunhua can see that Shi Xuan is extraordinary, he clearly feels that the spirit armor that Shi Xuan has personally designed and forged for himself is very distinctive, and he has grasped the most important place as a spirit forging master, he can give full play to the role of each piece of spirit material, so that its spirituality can be maximized.
The news of Shi Xuan's entry into the Spirit Forging Hall had already spread, and many people were also curious about this special newcomer, and some of them had even witnessed Shi Xuan break the miracle that no one had set foot in the tenth level of the Heavenly Rank for five or six years, and what they didn't expect was that he was still a talented Spirit Forging Master.
On the top of the main hall of the Spirit Forging Hall, Du Chunhua gathered all the disciples of the Spirit Forging Hall and ceremoniously introduced this special test to all the disciples who entered the Tianhua Sect.
"Hello all senior brothers, I am Shi Xuan's second-order spirit forging master, and I hope to give me more advice in the future", Shi Xuan greeted all the senior brothers.
"Look at his spirit armor, there are indeed some doorways", at this time, a fourth-order spirit forging master standing in the front row looked carefully at the set of spirit armor on Shi Xuan's body.
"Was this really designed and forged by himself?" said another, too.
"It's really embarrassing, he seems to have a very good grasp of the spirituality of no kind of spiritual material, and only if he has a very good grasp of the characteristics of the material can he use a large number of alloy forging, although his set of spirit armor is only forged with second-order materials, but the quality is extremely high, even if a few of us go to forge a second-order spirit armor, we don't dare to say that it surpasses his quality", another person said.
Many people below are also discussing, "It's really terrifying, not only is the talent of cultivation extremely strong, but even the talent of forging is so powerful."
"May I ask Senior Brother Shi Xuan, is your set of spirit armor really forged by yourself?" The next senior brother named Du Qifeng asked, he is Du Chunhua's son, the son inherited his father's business, and now he is also in the Spirit Forging Hall In addition to Du Chunhua, the strongest forging technique has reached the peak of the fourth order.
"It's really forged by myself," Shi Xuan replied truthfully.
"Then can you show us a demonstration yourself?"
"I don't know what Senior Brother wants me to forge?"
"We just need to see your use of the second-order spirit metal alloy," Du Qifeng said.
"Okay, I happen to have a piece of silver and refined copper here, I'll be ugly", Shi Xuan was not pretentious, they came to a furnace, Shi Xuan took out his forging hammer and materials, and at the same time calcined two pieces of second-order spiritual metal with different spirituality, next to the fiery red furnace, everyone was looking at him intently.
Shi Xuan didn't have the slightest distraction, as soon as the forging hammer was in his hand, he immediately entered the state, he released his powerful spiritual power and seriously felt the calcination of the two metals in the furnace, even if the two spirits interfered with each other, Shi Xuan still accurately grasped the temperature, and sent them out, he quickly rotated the sledgehammer to forge, his hammer method was Zhong Wei's hammer method, under his movement, it was extraordinarily charming.
Soon Shi Xuan showed the characteristics of each metal, fused and beat them at the moment when they played their best, and the two metals with different spiritualities gradually fused into another unique alloy and had its unique spirituality, which combined the hardness of the silver and the ductility of the refined copper, this alloy was easier to design and forge the spirit armor, it improved the shortcomings of the refined copper and the silver and combined the advantages they did not have, which must be very accurate in the proportion of the material and the timing of the fusion, otherwise it will fail.
Looking at the brilliance of a strange alloy, many people below saw it with great brilliance, although Du Chunhua had also taught them many uses of alloys, but it was still incredible to see that Shi Xuan, a second-order spirit forging master, was actually able to find a way to fuse through his unique way.
"Your hammer method is very distinctive, which is different from what the master called us", Du Qifeng saw some doorways.
"This is what my previous master taught me", Shi Xuan took the alloy in his hand.
Du Chunhua has been observing from the sidelines, and has not spoken, he is also secretly observing where this child's shining point is, and now he has the answer.
"Do you know why he found the properties of these two metals so easily?" Du Chunhua asked, taking the alloy in his hand.
"Is it his peculiar hammer technique?" a disciple asked.
"I have also taught you the hammer method, and my hammer method will not be weaker than his, but many of you still can't do it?" Du Chunhua asked.
"This?" many people don't know why.
"Please also ask the master to teach me," everyone asked.
"This is the gap in talent, his spiritual power is much higher than yours, he can discover the spirituality of each piece of metal faster, and accurately grasp the amount and timing of the use of each material, which is supported by strong spiritual power, I asked you not to only bury your head in forging, but to pay attention to the cultivation of spiritual power, in order to be able to better grasp the spirituality of each metal, so as to make the most accurate judgment", Du Chunhua said the biggest flaw of these apprentices.
Du Chunhua looked at the many disciples who were silent, he was also helpless, how difficult it was to meet a disciple with a high level of understanding, he was lucky to meet one, even his son Du Qifeng, he couldn't feel this feeling from him.
"On the mainland, the spirit forging master has been inherited for thousands of years, each has its own characteristics, but the different paths are the same, the hammer method is only an auxiliary means, the most fundamental is everyone's understanding, for these spiritual materials, you must be proficient in feeling their spirituality in order to forge high-quality spiritual weapons", Du Chunhua taught.
"Disciple follow the teachings," everyone said respectfully.
"Shi Xuan, in the future, you can study forging here with peace of mind, in the past few years, our Tianhua Sect has faced a lot of threats, our Spirit Forging Hall has a heavy task, in the future, it will depend on you to support the forging task of the entire sect, and you can come to me at any time if you have any questions." Du Qifeng, as a senior disciple, you have arranged all the tasks," Du Chunhua said.
"It's a father", Johnny To respectfully replied.
The spirit forging master is different from the learning of the spirit array master, and he has to face a high-temperature furnace and thousands of hammers all day long, so there are no female apprentices here, and many female apprentices are more inclined to learn the professions of spirit array master or spirit pill master, after all, it is not good for a girl to smash a hammer all day long.
These days, Shi Xuan has also begun to devote himself to the intense study of spirit forging techniques, he has now stepped into the Ning Yuan Realm, he can start to learn the third-order spirit forging technique, and each level of learning after that is more difficult, whether it is the hardness of the spirit material or the spirituality is more complicated, without strong strength, it is simply impossible to do it.
Du Chunhua binds him not his forging skills, but his own strength, if he can step into the legendary Heavenly Spirit Realm, he is absolutely sure to take his forging skills to the next level, he is also a famous spirit forging master on the mainland, but unfortunately this world has bound too many people, and now the world's spiritual energy has rebounded, which brings them hope.
The spiritual realm binds too many people, this is a huge hurdle, although it is only a first-order difference, but it is like a chasm that is insurmountable, the concentration and quality of the spiritual energy of this heaven and earth do not allow such a strong person to appear, this may be the sadness of an era.
No matter how talented you are, it will be difficult for you to cross the moat, and the spirit weapons that can give birth to spiritual wisdom have been lost on the continent for thousands of years, whether it is a spirit array master or a spirit pill master, and even many inherited formulas have disappeared into history.
The more high-level spiritual materials, the harsher the environment in which they grow, and the depleted spiritual energy environment, many high-level spiritual materials cannot grow and be nurtured, and the lack of high-level spiritual materials is also the key to restricting high-level spiritual masters.
