Chapter 7: Sword Forging
Happiness and sorrow, there is no word better than it to describe Mo Wen's current mood.
When he got the five-color stone, Mo Wen was ecstatic, and only read the attribute part of the evaluation of the five-color stone, and did not look at the evaluation of the traveler's home in parentheses, after all, in Mo Wen's eyes, the evaluation of the traveler's home is an undisciplined complaint. Now that the joy has passed, after picking up this ancient treasure again, Mo Wen has the heart to take a look at the evaluation given by the Traveler's Home, and he should relax.
As a result, Mo Wen saw a big problem.
Five-Colored Stone: Eight Star ...... (Your character in this world is really good, you can pick up this kind of thing, and the attribute of "darling of destiny" really deserves the title of "the illegitimate son of the world"...... However, are you sure that with your own scum-like strength, you can refine this kind of thing into your own magic weapon? Now pray that the cultivators in this world are strong enough and their means are clever enough. You must know that the five-color stone, which is located at the apex of the eight-star material, exists in almost every world with the legend of "Nuwa mending the sky", but there are very few people who can refine this thing into a magic weapon...... )
[Give me such a good thing, but tell me that this guy can only watch and can't use it...... Isn't this a cheat! This is as inhumane as giving you a high-definition no-code romance action movie with extremely high-quality actors and a remarkable plot and then stuffing you with an old woman who scratches her head and poses like a pose. Mo Wen roared in his heart.
Mo Wen was crazy for a while, and then calmed down.
"So far, I can only give it a try, and I can afford to gamble with only half of my cultivation." Mo Wen muttered to himself, as if he was cheering himself up.
======================================
Time turned back to the afternoon when Dao Xuan Zhenren taught Mo Wen the "Art of Imperial Spirits".
"Master, I've written it all down." Mo Wen looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren proudly, this look was like a child who had scored 100 points in the exam and hoped to be praised by his parents.
"Okay, then I'll teach you how to refine the magic weapon now." Dao Xuan Zhenren stroked his beard with a smile, very satisfied with Mo Wen's learning ability. "The magic weapon is the most important companion of cultivators like us, not only can it help you fight the enemy, but it can also help you cultivate, you must not underestimate it."
……
"Master, what if the good things I find can't be cultivated on my own?" After listening to Dao Xuan Zhenren's teachings, Mo asked a curious baby and asked the answer he wanted.
[The hint is that you can only take away the items that are closely related to you, and the magic weapon after the 'blood refining' should be close enough to yourself.] Mo Wen narrowed his eyes.
"Hmm...... Naturally, there are ways to solve this problem, but they all come at a great cost. Dao Xuan Zhenren thought for a moment and then gave Mo the answer, "Do you still want to learn?" ”
"Well, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I missed the good materials I couldn't bring back." Mo Wen looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren with expectant eyes.
“…… All right. Seeing this, Dao Xuan Zhenren began to teach Mo Wen a special method of sacrifice.
"There are countless kinds of sacrificial cultivation methods in the world, which is nothing more than to strengthen the connection between oneself and the treasures of heaven and earth, and to be able to exert the power of these items. This kind of heaven and earth treasure that has been sacrificed is called a magic weapon. "Dao Xuan real people talk eloquently, and give examples.
"For example, my Dao robe is woven from heavenly silk, and it is printed with the 'Infinite Imperial Spirit Array', and then I can control this Dao robe through my own spiritual power, and I can exert great power, and most magic weapons in the world are refined in this way."
"But some of the Heavenly Treasures and Earth Treasures themselves are secretly in line with the Great Dao, and it is not suitable for us to add to them, and it is difficult to be manipulated by cultivators who are not cultivated enough, and the ordinary method of sacrifice and cultivation is not very useful for this kind of Heaven and Earth Treasure, so the special method of sacrifice and cultivation you mentioned is needed."
"This kind of Dao method, the most famous is the Demon Sect's 'blood refining' method, this method can make the practitioner and the magic weapon have a very close connection, and the essence blood of the magic weapon owner can also greatly enhance the power of the magic weapon. It's just that this method is extremely dangerous, it will consume a lot of monks' essence blood, and most of the magic weapons refined are also with a fierce aura, which can easily turn users who are not determined to become bloodthirsty and killing, which is despised by my righteous path. ”
"My righteous path also has a similar method, which was created by the thirteenth generation of the head of the sect, called 'spiritual sacrifice'."
"As the name suggests, the 'Spirit Sacrifice' is to use half or even more of its spiritual power to pour into the heavenly and earthly treasures through secret methods, and refine it into the appearance that you want to sacrifice. In this way, the connection between the Dharma weapon and the practitioner will become very close, and the power of the Dharma weapon will be greatly increased, and others will not be able to exert the power of the Dharma Weapon. However, after refining this method, the cultivator and the Dharma weapon become one, one with glory and one with loss. Moreover, after using this method, the cultivator's vitality will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the cultivation will be almost half lost, so this method of sacrifice and cultivation should not be used lightly. ”
=============================================
[Isn't it just half of the cultivation? Lao Tzu can stay in this world for seventeen or eighteen years, and this loss is nothing. Bet! Even if I fail, I still have a piece of thunder glowstone to refine magic weapons, and if I succeed, I will make a lot of money! 】
Mo Wen was ruthless and began to prepare for the method of using the "spirit sacrifice" on the five-color stone.
In the Five Elements Sealing Demon Array, after Mo Wen arranged the precursors required for the "Spirit Sacrifice" method, he took out several beautifully made pastries and two pieces of corned beef from the storage space, and ate them beautifully. After a full meal, Mo Wen sat down on the floor and began to recuperate, ready to meet this costly gamble in his most perfect state.
After a few hours, Mo Wen felt refreshed after resting, and his spirit had reached its peak. Mo Wen took out the five-colored stone, put it on the magic circle that had already been drawn, took a deep breath, and pointed like a sword, drawing in front of the five-color stone, and chanting words in his mouth:
"There are all kinds of things, and there is no spirit; Sacrifice the spirit to the spirit, and the spirit is self-generated! ”
After finishing speaking, the formation that Mo Wen had drawn in the air floated above the five-colored stone, and began to sprinkle blue light and golden rays downward; The magic circle on the ground immediately lit up and emitted the same light upwards, and the five-colored stone was held in the air by two forces.
Suddenly, the five-colored stone, which was originally as ordinary as a roadside stone, emitted a faint colored light, blocking the blue and golden mangs outside, as if they didn't want to be refined by Mo Wen.
[I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Mo Wen gritted his teeth and increased the infusion of spiritual power, and the blue and golden rays in the array were flourishing, and the magic circles in the air and underground saw that a dazzling pillar of light had been formed, completely enveloping the five-colored stone.
However, the resistance of the five-colored stone will not be broken so easily.
With Mo Wen's gradual strengthening, the light emitted by the five-color stone became brighter and brighter, and the middle section of the original blue and gold pillar of light had already revealed a brilliant colored light. The fierce confrontation between the two forces caused a violent wind in the Five Elements Sealing Demon Array, blowing Mo Wen's robe and hunting, and even the sweat on Mo Wen's face was dried by the air at some point.
[This will not work!] My spiritual power can't compare to this eight-star treasure, and the method of "spiritual sacrifice" is useless, so I have to find another way...... Do you really have to use "blood refining"? But I won't! Seeing that the method of "spiritual sacrifice" was useless, Mo Wen was anxious.
But how can the forbidden technique of "spiritual sacrifice" be broken if you want to? Even if this trick does nothing, Mo Wen's more than half of the cultivation consumed will definitely not rise back.
[Forget it! Dead horses should be live horse doctors, anyway, they have pressed such a big bet, and they don't care about adding more chips - I don't know the method of "blood refining", and I won't pour blood on this? Mo Wen gritted his teeth, and his left hand and fingers swiped on the wrist of his right hand that maintained the magic circle, and the red blood flowed downward. The blood easily penetrated the colored light curtain emitted by the five-color stone, landed on the five-color stone, and slowly seeped into it.
The colored light emitted by the five-color stone then dimmed.
[There is a door!] Mo Wen was overjoyed, and on the one hand, he once again strengthened the output of spiritual power, and on the other hand, he allowed blood to continue to flow out of the veins of his right wrist......
The howling wind in the Five Elements Sealing Demon Array stopped at some point, and the light curtain inspired by the five-colored stone also completely dispersed, and Mo Wen could already feel a trace of connection between himself and the stone in front of him at this time. It's a very subtle feeling, you seem to be able to feel the rhythm of the stone in front of you breathing in and out—if you hadn't experienced it yourself, Mo Wen wouldn't have believed that the stone was still breathing.
[It's more than half! Feeling the clearer and clearer pulsation of the five-color stone, Mo Wen endured the ecstasy in his heart and began to manipulate the spiritual power, preparing to refine the five-color stone into his favorite shape......
Just this move made Mo Wen find a problem, that is, the shape of the five-color stone is too difficult to change.
But no matter how hard it is, you can't give up, Mo Wen doesn't want to hit people with a big stone in the future, it's better to take a brick. Mo Wen tightened his pale little face, and this uncle with the body of a fourteen-year-old boy began to manipulate spiritual power to transform his magic weapon.
It took a whole day to refine this five-colored stone. In fact, Mo Wen's spiritual power is still enough, and it can last a little longer--but this is completely unnecessary, because Mo Wen's blood is not enough.
When Mo Wen felt that his body had reached its limit, he immediately stopped bleeding, and with a wave of his left hand, he sealed the wound on his right wrist. At this time, the five-color stone would not resist Mo Wen's spiritual power, but when the five-color stone lost the watering of blood, Mo Wen found that the consumption of manipulating the spiritual power to cast the five-color stone gradually increased, and in the end, Mo Wen used the strength of milk, and he couldn't change this magic weapon in the slightest......
After finding that spiritual power alone could no longer change the shape of the five-color stone, Mo Wen decisively ended the method of "spiritual sacrifice", and then his body shook, and before he had time to take a look at his newly refined fairy sword magic weapon, he planted himself on the grass and fainted.
Even though time slipped away from people secretly, Mo Wen finally opened his eyes slowly after being in a coma for a day and a night.
"Hmm...... The body is so heavy, my head is still a little dizzy, and I really bleed over...... I hope that the cultivation is not too serious. Mo Wen struggled to prop up his body with his palms and sat up, calling up his current attributes.
Physical comprehensive quality: one star (two stars) (excessive blood loss, great loss of sperm and blood, your physique is currently greatly weakened, and you can't beat children of the same age, of course, I mean fourteen-year-old children)
Soul comprehensive quality: three stars (four stars lower) (using the forbidden method, the Tao is greatly damaged, and you can't come back from cultivation without ten days and half a month)
Combat effectiveness: No evaluation (recuperate in peace, boy, now a wild dog can bite you to death...... Of course, you have desperate skills, and even if you can take out the enemy, your own life is almost the same)
"It's okay, it's okay." Mo Wen comforted himself: "Fortunately, I prepared this Five Elements Sealing Demon Array earlier, otherwise Bacheng would have been taken away by a passing beast." Although the original spirit fell directly from the four-star median that was finally mentioned after going down the mountain to the lower position when he first came down the mountain, the three-star spirit could return to the four-star after resting for a while, at least it was still in the fourth layer of the Yuqing Realm, otherwise it would not be able to use the magic weapon after refining it......"
"But although the cost is very high, I still won the bet!" Mo Wen didn't need to turn around to feel the magic weapon that belonged to him lying quietly on the grass behind him.
Standing up staggeringly, Mo Wen turned to face the magic weapon that was already his own, and sighed with relief and regret.
A long strip-shaped object with a gray and white color mixed with a faint color lying quietly on the grass, round and smooth, one end is large and the other end is small, it is an oval cylinder, connected to a handle, it can be said to be like a sword with a scabbard, in fact, it is more like an elongated large sorbet.
"It's a pity that there is not enough blood, and it turns out to be this humiliating appearance...... This looks like a sword, and the guys here will definitely think I've used a mallet as a magic weapon when they see it. Obviously, Mo Wen was a little dissatisfied with the current appearance of his magic weapon.
"Buzz." The long strip-like object that had been lying quietly on the ground vibrate, and Mo Wen could clearly feel its anger.
"Okay, okay, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, it's okay." Mo Wen looked at his magic weapon like a child's temper, and laughed dumbly. "There is a sword called perverse detachment, which is as plump and beautiful as you."
After Mo Wen apologized, the object stopped shaking and lay quietly on the grass again.
In fact, Mo Wen is still very happy, after all, this is the magic weapon of the eight-star that represents the extremely strong power anyway.
Five-colored stone sword (stone stick with handle?) ): Eight stars, rare world, using the five-colored stone left by the female snail mending the sky as raw materials, was refined by the master of the magic weapon with his own blood pressure full of evil qi after controlling most of the spirituality with the secret method of Qingyun, and it cannot be used by outsiders. Although a large amount of blood was absorbed, the magic weapon itself was not infected with a ferocious aura, or the external ferocious aura was absorbed by the ferocious aura contained in the five-colored stone itself. It can grow with the master, and after the magic weapon is damaged, it will also have an impact on the master's cultivation, and it will greatly increase the spiritual power of all attributes. It's a pity that the master's cultivation is too weak and can't exert his supreme might. (Wrong or wrong, I'm glad you've been mixed in the killing field, ordinary people's blood can't temporarily suppress the spirituality of the five-color stone, even if there is only the five-color stone of the evil spirit left, you can not easily subdue it, you can only say that your luck is good enough.) But your refining technique is really bad enough, and it's a tyrannical thing. )
Gently picking up the magic weapon that had been refined, Mo Wen stroked the smooth surface, quietly feeling the vast and endless spiritual power in it.
After a while, Mo Wen opened his mouth and said, "No matter what shape you are, you will only be a sword in my hand...... From now on, you will be called 'Cloud Shadow'. ”
Mo Wen did not hesitate to give his new magic weapon the name of the former sword.
The cloud shadow in his hand was shocked, Mo Wen didn't feel that the cloud shadow was dissatisfied, lowered his head and smiled at it: "Since you don't object, then your name will be determined in the future." ”
Cloud Shadow shook again, and then it was a little impatient.
"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense." Mo Wen sat cross-legged, put Yunying on his lap, and started cultivating again.
