Chapter 393: Spirituality
Advancing and retreating, Zhou Yangyu suddenly didn't know what to do, because what to do was wrong. And the towering crane and Lin Jianying are frantically attacking Zhou Yangyu, so they don't care what mood you are in now. Many wounds suddenly appeared on Zhou Yangyu's body, and there was even one that almost spanned the entire chest, if Zhou Yangyu hadn't woken up at the last moment, I was afraid that it would have been completely shattered.
The three seventh-order powerhouses of the Command Sect were still on their way, they were already not far from Cloud Mist City, and on the way, they had already discussed how to besiege Cloud Mist City, block the news, and many plans to ensure that nothing went wrong. But they didn't know that all of this was just useless, and all they could do in the future was to wait for the arrival of that powerhouse who might be a seventh-order overlord.
In the jungle, the sword light in the sky gradually dissipated, and Shen Cong's brows furrowed slightly, not as happy as he imagined. Shen Cong transmitted the information to Cloud City before, in order to disgust Zhou Yangyu. It stands to reason that the most reasonable way is to leave quietly, then Zhou Yangyu will not know whether Shen Cong is alive or dead, and he will not know in the future who revealed the situation in Cloud City to the powerhouse of the seventh-order overlord.
But Shen never did, he just wanted to take revenge on Zhou Yangyu. Being chased and killed like this, Shen Cong was not depressed in his heart, it was absolutely impossible. From the beginning of his cultivation to the present, he has never been bullied, and Shen has never suffered it silently, and he will definitely retaliate afterwards. People respect me a foot, I respect others, even now facing a seventh-order powerhouse like Zhou Yangyu, Shen Cong is no exception.
Today's Shen Cong can't beat Zhou Yangyu, but such a move will definitely make Zhou Yangyu angry, and it will make him lose his mood. And from the other side, it can be regarded as saving thousands of lives in Cloud City. After all, when Zhou Yangyu knew that the blockade of Cloud City had no effect, this kind of extermination of humanity would probably stop.
Shen Cong had done this before, but unfortunately Shen Cong didn't feel happy, he looked down at the Dragon Sparrow Knife in his hand, and Shen Cong's brows became tighter and tighter. The Dragon Sparrow Knife is now only the hilt and the fragments of the blade, and it can no longer be called a knife. Shen Cong had always thought that the broken blade was only destroyed by Zhou Yangyu's brute force, but just now when he forcibly combined the Dragon Bird Knife, Shen Cong realized that he was thinking too simply.
The Dragon Sparrow Knife was not only simply shattered, but even the spirituality inside was seriously damaged. All things have spirits, this is not empty talk, but it depends on whether you have the ability to awaken that kind of spirituality. And weapons and treasures above the sixth order have a strong spirituality, and the higher the level, the more intense that spirituality will become.
It is rumored that the ninth-order spirit weapon already has a simple spiritual wisdom and can ask questions with others, and above the ninth order, it can be called a machine spirit like ordinary people. However, no one has ever seen that kind of thing, even if it is an eighth-order or ninth-order spiritual weapon, it is also an invisible treasure, and ordinary people have no chance to see it.
Many of them are conjectures made by cultivators out of thin air, and they are inferred based on the changes in spiritual weapons. And the Dragon Sparrow Knife in Shen Cong's hand has already reached the level of a fifth-order supreme treasure weapon, and with a little progress, he can reach a sixth-order spiritual weapon, thereby awakening the spirituality in the knife, and at that time, the power of the entire weapon will have a very considerable increase, just like a cultivator who has been promoted to the sixth order.
It's just that the material of the Dragon Sparrow Knife itself is limited, when it was first cast, it was only made of mortal iron, and when Shen Cong saw the Dragon Sparrow Knife, even the grade was extremely low, if it weren't for the extremely special ore contained in it, which could be improved by absorbing essence blood, it would be impossible to grow to the level of the fifth order.
However, the fifth order has also become the limit, and the amount of essence blood absorbed is already enough, and there is still a lot of accumulation in the Dragon Sparrow Knife, but if it is absorbed again, it must be the result of explosion in the end. Therefore, Shen Cong bought the Heavenly Bronze Mother at the auction in order to upgrade the Dragon Bird Knife when he had time, but unfortunately it was delayed by various things.
And now, the Dragon Sparrow Knife was shattered, at first Shen Cong thought it was just an ordinary shatter, but now he found that this was not the case at all, and the spirituality contained in it was almost shattered. It was like a flower that was budding and waiting to bloom, but now it is pinched and extinguished by life. Shen Cong hadn't noticed this before, but when he forcibly combined the Dragon Sparrow Knife just now, he found that the blade had changed dramatically.
"Zhou Yangyu!"
As soon as you think about it, you can see that it is Zhou Yangyu's attack that contains special energy, which can cause huge damage to the blade. If the Dragon Sparrow Knife was already a sixth-order spirit weapon, it might not be anything, and at most its power would be weakened. However, the Dragon Sparrow Sword was only a fifth-order treasure weapon, and its spirituality was still in its infancy, but it was hit like this.
If it was another fifth-order treasure, maybe it would have been scrapped a long time ago, and there would be no value in using it at all. However, the Dragon Sparrow Knife is a little different, that strange ore is now trying to maintain the spirituality of the Dragon Sparrow Knife, and at the same time, the essence and blood in the ore are also consumed to maintain spiritual stability.
But this is only a stopgap measure after all, and almost every once in a while, spirituality is weakening. At least since the Dragon Sparrow Knife was broken, by this time, the spirituality has been weakened by two percent, and when the essence blood is consumed, probably the Dragon Sparrow Knife will really be destroyed.
From the moment he set foot on the practice, the Dragon Bird Knife was Shen Cong's first blade, holding the Dragon Bird Knife, Shen Cong learned the twelve strokes of the Blood Wind Knife Technique, comprehended the knife intent, and fused the knife technique to create these knife styles of breaking the army black pattern. This knife can be said to have poured Shen Cong's feelings, but now it is spirituality that is about to dissipate.
"It's just a simple and practical Heavenly Bronze Mother, it can't save the spirituality of the Dragon Sparrow Knife at all, even if a sixth-order spirit weapon is cast, I'm afraid it will have an empty shell, and there is no connotation in it!
Shen Cong forced himself to calm down, glanced back in the direction of Cloud City, and then ran forward. Shen Cong didn't know how to refine weapons himself, even if he had the ultimate power of flames, but it was only for the enemy. After all, people's energy is limited, even if Shen Cong has the ability to accelerate time, distracting other things will inevitably lead to a decline in cultivation.
Then you must find a refiner in the city, and it must be the kind of top refiner who can refine spiritual weapons, otherwise you will not be able to save the Dragon Sparrow Sword at all. According to the map of the Gale Wind Country that Shen Cong got at the beginning, according to this location, the next stop will be Yanyue City!
A day later.
There was a black-robed person in Yanyue City, and it seemed a little strange to dress like this in broad daylight, but there were a lot of people dressed like this in the city. This person took off the hat on his head, it was Shen Cong who came in a hurry, and he hurried overnight, and the injuries in his body had not yet had time to be repaired, which made Shen Cong's face a little tired.
After walking around the street a few times, Shen Cong didn't find what he needed. There is no Baixiao Pavilion in Yanyue City, if you want to know any news, there is no doubt that Baixiao Pavilion is the best place to go, but unfortunately, with the huge size of this organization, it is impossible to set up a stronghold in all the cities of Gale Country.
The lack of Baixiao Pavilion made Shen never help but look irritable. The spirituality of the Dragon Sparrow Knife is still gradually decreasing, although the degree of spiritual decline is limited because of the reserve of essence blood, but after all, it is decreasing.
Shen Cong walked around Yanyue City a few more times, and after making sure that there was no omission, he finally gave up. Finding one of the largest inns in the city, Shen Cong walked in. Now I can only use the most primitive method to inquire about the news in the inn. The inn is considered a place where cultivators gather, and there will inevitably be all kinds of news flowing out from here, so what Shen Cong wants to inquire about, there may be a good harvest here, and of course there may be nothing.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er stepped forward and greeted warmly.
"On the table, take your most signature dishes. Shen Cong commanded in a low voice and walked to a side position to do it. The hall of the inn is very bright, but most people like to sit in the middle, and there are storytellers, which are also the most lively. However, Shen never came to listen to the story, and coming to the corner could avoid unnecessary trouble.
The dishes were quickly served, steaming, and the fragrance was permeating, Shen Cong casually took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and when he chewed it, it actually had a different taste. It's a pity that Shen Cong's mind is not on eating now, and after eating a few bites, he turned his head to look at Xiao Er.
"What do you have to tell the guest officer?" Xiao Er said very cleverly.
"You are people who sell news, I need to know something. Shen never turned around and asked directly.
"Selling news?" Xiao Er was slightly stunned, Shen Cong's question was indeed a bit direct, but Xiao Er immediately reacted, this is not something unsightly.
"I don't know what the guest officer needs to know, if it's some small things, the small ones may know, it's too confidential, and the small ones can't help!"
"Is there a refiner in the city?"
"This is natural, the Xu family in the north of the city is a casting family with a long heritage, and the blades used by many heroes in the city are all from the Xu family!" Seeing that Shen Cong was not asking a secret matter, Xiao Er's face suddenly showed a smile. As long as this kind of thing is answered, I am afraid that there will be a lot of reward.
"Maybe you cast a sixth-order spirit weapon?" Shen Cong's eyes lit up slightly, and he had inherited it for hundreds of years, although this year was not much, it was definitely not low.
"Spirit weapon! Yes, I heard that the treasure of the Xu family's inheritance is a spiritual weapon, which is extremely powerful!" Xiao Er was startled, and couldn't help but glance up and down at Shen Cong, only a sixth-order Xingyun powerhouse who needs a spiritual weapon, or a fifth-order peak cultivator who is about to break through, no matter what it is, it can be regarded as a master and a strong person, but Xiao Er's attitude is unconsciously a lot more respectful.
"Inheritance spirit weapon, I don't know how many steps it is!" Shen Cong muttered to himself, from these it was not possible to judge that it was the forging strength of the Xu family, but at least it was a hope. Throwing out a piece of silver to Xiao Er, Shen Cong ate a few more bites of the dish and left the inn.
Yanyue City is also a big city, although it can't be compared to Cloud City, but it is also more majestic than most of the cities in the Ni Heavenly Kingdom. And to occupy a place in the north of the city, this Xu family is naturally extraordinary. As soon as Shen Cong approached, he could hear the sound of beating from inside.
With the inheritance of casting technology, the Xu family has not slackened at any time, unlike some families, which are only built in special stores, and completely abandoned in other places. Of course, there is also the Xu family's inheritance time that is not long enough, and it may also be related.
Without reporting to the guards at the door, Shen entered the Xu Mansion from the shaking of his body. Whether the Xu family has the ability to cast a good spiritual weapon, or even reforge a near-scrapped fifth-order treasure weapon like Shen Cong, as long as he observes it a little, he can find out the clues.
There were many disciples in the mansion who were building blades, and after just a few glances, Shen Cong noticed something different. This Xu family seems to have fused the method of martial arts with the art of forging, and while creating a blade, it is actually a disguised cultivation. This kind of cultivation is not new, many sects have it, but very few of them really specialize in it.
The cultivators who have cultivated this method have an extremely stable foundation, but unfortunately the speed is too slow, and the later they go, the slower they get, unless there is any special opportunity, otherwise they may end when they reach the sixth order, and it is the early stage of the sixth order Xingyun, whether they can cultivate to the middle stage depends on luck.
Shen Cong's brows furrowed slightly, although the realm was not directly related to the forging ability, but this kind of down-to-earth refining method, if you want to repair Shen Cong's Dragon Bird Knife, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.
"Whoever broke into my Xu family, come down for me!"
With an angry shout, an old man appeared on the flat ground, facing Shen Cong's position with a cold sword light.
