In Muxiu Peak, next to the purple bamboo forest, there was a spirit sword and two bamboo branches on the stone table in front of Li Jian's bamboo liao.

And Li Jian was attentively flipping through a book in his hand.

Although he has his own green bamboo spirit sword, Li Jian still loves the spirit sword refined by Qian Chao very much, and he doesn't want to be too ostentatious, so that people know that he has inadvertently obtained a method of materializing the sword, so he still has to use the spirit sword sent by Qian Chao.

The book in his hand was left to him by the cold moon senior a few days ago. On the cover of the book is the name of the book, "Heart-Shaped Object".

The book begins with the words: The sword is the sword, and the man takes it as the sword. The shape of the sword is also dictated by the human heart. Historically, sword cultivation has mostly used gold and stone as a sword, and the sword obtained by this method is sharp and sharp, and it is famous. The instrument has been handed down, but there are three deficiencies in this method, one is that the sword is not practiced in the cultivation of the weapon, and the sword used is mostly cast by others, even if it is famous. instrument, it is difficult for the person who uses it to be satisfied; In addition, the sword of gold and stone, because of the ore, the swordsmith is different, under the greed of the people, although the sword cultivation also likes the famous sword of the famous teacher and forgets the true meaning of the sword cultivation; The three swords are cast, such as wood for the instrument, the sword is like a tool, and there can be no more than a little inch of progress, but the way of sword cultivation is like a boat against the current, but also slow and not quitting, and holding the sword of stopping with the body of not quitting, regretting also.

The idea is that a sword is a sword because people use it as a sword. And the shape of the sword is also created by people according to the appearance of the sharp weapon in their hearts. For a long time, the sword cultivation of the past dynasties has used spirit swords refined from various minerals, and this kind of spirit sword is of course extremely sharp, and there are many famous swords that have been handed down. However, this method also has three shortcomings, one is that the spirit swords refined from ore are basically made by others, and the sword cultivators often do not practice the art of refining, so even if the sword refining is unparalleled, it is difficult to fully meet the sword cultivation intention of using this sword; The second is that it is a spirit sword that is refined, because the ore used in refining is different or the skill of the person refining the sword is high, there is naturally a difference in grade, and the sword cultivator is also a person, and naturally likes those who use precious ores and the best swords cast by famous teachers, so that the sword cultivator also has a heart to compare and compare the sword, only thinking about using a better spirit sword and ignoring the original intention of the way of sword cultivation, and the third is that the spirit sword refined by ore is only refined into a vessel, just like wood made of utensils, and its function is good. Even if the grade is fixed, there will be no more growth, although the way of sword cultivation is slow to improve, but as long as you persist, you will always stop, and use the sword that will not grow at all with the cultivation that keeps growing, which is also a pity for sword cultivation.

The sword in his hand can't grow with him, which is indeed a pity for sword cultivation.

Later in the book, it is also introduced that the sword cultivators of the ancestors made many attempts to establish this method of materializing the sword.

They have used spirit wood, demon beast bones, cold ice and other things, and even some sword cultivators once used their own hair as swords, and called it "black hair sword", which was also famous.

However, among the many attempts of these ancestor sword cultivators, this method of using spiritual wood as a sword is the best one, but it requires that the spiritual root of this sword cultivator is best wood spiritual root, followed by water spiritual root, and earth spiritual root again, while the sword cultivation of golden spiritual root and fire spiritual root cannot use this method.

This method is actually very simple, just like Li Jian's previous use of his own sword qi to repeatedly infuse with the spirit wood, after a long time, this piece of spirit wood is no different from the spirit sword, and with the growth of use time, such a wood spirit sword will also grow with the sword cultivator himself, if the sword cultivation breakthrough, then this wood spirit sword will inevitably break through a grade, so that the sword cultivator can continue to use it.

However, the growth of this wood spirit sword also has a way to make its condition better, here in the book it is mentioned that the "water to raise wood" method, the book said that there are water spirit springs everywhere in the world, but it is difficult to find, if the sword cultivator who uses the wood spirit sword can find such a spiritual spring, you must remember to bathe your spirit sword with the water of this spring, which is very good for the wood spirit sword, but a spirit spring can only be bathed once, as for the reason, the predecessors who wrote this book did not understand.

It's right to think about it, if you find a spiritual spring and bathe your Wood Spirit Sword repeatedly, if every time it is good for this Wood Spirit Sword, then wouldn't this overhaul be too easy!

The book also roughly mentioned the places where several famous spiritual springs are located, but the place name Li Jian looks very unfamiliar, plus the reason why this book came about, Li Jian estimates that those spiritual springs are probably not near the sect. However, Leng Yue's predecessor also said that there were also several hidden spiritual springs near the sect, and he also told him where to find them.

You can talk to Brother Qian about it when you go back, and see if he knows about the places where there may be spiritual springs, and if he can find them, he really has to try it according to the method of "raising wood with water".

The method of using the demon beast bone as a sword is also recorded in the later book, but Li Jian doesn't like that method, it is really to take the sharper bones from the demon beast to use, and if the monk who uses this bone spirit sword wants to make this sword grow a little better, the method used is to nourish it with the blood of the demon beast.

Li Jian estimated that the evil cultivator surnamed Zhao who was killed by Leng Yue's predecessors probably came up with a way to nourish his wood spirit sword with the essence blood of the water spirit root monk after reading the record in this book, but this was really counted as entering the way of the evil demon, not only did the sword not be practiced, but he also ended up in defeat and death.

In a few days, before a few people go out again, they will get together again as usual, and when the time comes, let Brother Qian take a look at those places with spiritual springs, and let him help find them.

Thinking of this, Li Jian put away the book, picked up the spirit sword on the table, and began to work hard.

……

What should come will come!

Qian Chao was muttering this sentence in his heart.

At this time, it was night again, and someone came to visit in Qian Chao's courtyard, it was Wen Zhang, and there was also the picturesque Han Jin, this time the Mo Wen senior brother didn't follow, thinking about coming to this Wen Zhang, remembering Qian Chao's residence, he no longer needed him to lead the way.

In fact, after refining the disc from Senior Sister Wen Yuan, Qian Chao has been waiting for Wen Zhang's arrival again. I didn't expect him to be really calm, and it took a few days to come.

"Senior Brother Wen," the one who came was a guest, but it was likely that he was still a bad guest, although Qian Chao was reluctant in his heart, he still saluted and greeted, "I don't know if Senior Brother Wen came at night, what can I do to serve Senior Brother?" ”

"You're at my sister's place these days, aren't you?"

Wen Zhang still had a cold expression, the little guy in front of him had categorically rejected him, and he was not sure if he could let this little guy obediently obey tonight, but if he dared to refuse again, then Wen Zhang would really have to find a way to deal with him.

"Yes, I was indeed taken by Senior Sister Luo to Senior Sister Wen a few days ago to refine an item for them."

Wen Zhang squinted his eyes, stared at Qian Chao's expression, and asked again, "Is it refined?" ”

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

"Okay, since you can refine that thing, now I'll produce another spirit stone, you can refine another one for me according to the previous refining method."

After Wen Zhang finished speaking, he said "snap", and threw a small bag on the stone table.

"Hurry!" He added.

"This ......" a look of embarrassment appeared on Qian Chao's face.

"Senior Brother Qian" said to the Han Qian who came with him, and he took a step forward and approached Qian Chao, "Senior Brother Wen also feels that what you asked you to do last time really embarrassed you, but since you have already finished refining for Senior Sister Wen and Senior Sister Luo, then this time it is just for you to refine another one according to that, it is very simple, with Senior Brother Qian's intelligence, you will definitely be able to do it, this is not difficult for you." ”

"Definitely," Qian Chao sighed, and looked at the small bag on the stone table, there must be a lot of spirit stones in it, "Senior Brother Wen's spirit stones, I naturally want to earn, but it's not that I don't want to refine for Senior Brother Wen, but I can't, after that thing is refined, Senior Sister Luo made it clear to me that I am not allowed to refine for others, and ...... Senior Sister Luo also paid me an extra amount of spirit stones for this, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint Senior Brother Wen again. ”

Han Ji smiled slightly when he heard this, he took another step closer to Qian Chao, and said, "Senior Brother Qian, if you don't say it, we won't say it, who would know that you have refined another one for us?" ”

Qian Chao also smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wen, Senior Brother Han, even if you don't say it, don't those two senior sisters know?" The last time you came to me, it was also at night, and Senior Sister Luo came to me early the next morning, and took me directly to Senior Sister Wen's residence, and there I was guarding me to refine weapons for them, and the two senior brothers came again tonight, if I agreed, I'm afraid that it won't be dawn, Senior Sister Luo or Senior Sister Wen will be able to get the news, and they will come to me at that time, Senior Sister Wen's temper is better, and I don't dare to provoke that Senior Sister Luo. ”

Wen Zhang's face was covered with another layer of frost, he forcibly suppressed his anger, in Jiuxuan, he really had never seen such a little guy, he rejected himself twice in a row, if it weren't for this kid who was good at refining weapons, I am afraid that he would not even have heard of his name, he had such a big guts!

"Then ......" Although Han Jin still had a smile on his face, there was a little coldness in his eyes, "This is really something that can't be helped, the sect is so small, and there are so many of our Jiuxuan people, it is inevitable that someone will leak the news, but well, since Senior Brother Qian is worried about provoking Senior Sister Luo, isn't he worried that this will make Senior Brother Wen unhappy?" ”

"I can't even afford to provoke," Qian Chao heard the threat in Han Jin's words, so he turned his head to look at Han Jin, "But, although Senior Brother Han has always been by Senior Brother Wen's side, can he afford to provoke Senior Sister Luo and Senior Sister Wen?" Besides, Senior Sister Wen and Senior Brother Wen are sisters and brothers after all, I am an outsider, I don't know what misunderstanding there is between Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Wen, but if there is something to meet each other and talk about it, it will be over, Senior Brother Han came to persuade me, it is better to think of a way for Senior Brother Wen, and then go to discuss with Senior Sister Wen, as long as I can say that Senior Sister Wen nodded, refining that thing is really the same as what Senior Brother Han said, it is not difficult. ”

Han Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he naturally understood the meaning of Qian Chao's words, and secretly said that this kid was really a little prickly, could it be that the previous plan was about to fail again?

"Hmm" Han Ji chuckled and nodded, suppressing the annoyance in his heart, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Qian to know how to protect himself so well." ”

"Where, Senior Brother Han is polite, Senior Brother I have any way to protect myself, but I still understand that between Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Wen, Senior Brother I am just an outsider, and all I can do is to keep my duty, first, I have to keep my promises, and second, I have to keep my promises...... Inseparable. ”

The words 'inseparable' are almost equivalent to scolding this Han Jin for being a villain who tells right and wrong, how can Han Jin not understand.

"Understood," Han Jin couldn't see anything on his face, he turned his head to look at Wen Zhang, "Senior Brother Wen, I can't persuade this Senior Brother Qian." ”

"Qian Chao," Wen Zhang also took a few steps towards Qian Chao, staring at Qian Chao's eyes and asked coldly, "Are you really not refining that thing for me?" ”

"Senior Brother Wen, it's not that Senior Brother refuses, but that I have promised that others can't go back, or as Senior Brother said before, Senior Brother Wen can go to Senior Sister Wen or Senior Sister Luo to talk, as long as Senior Sister Luo agrees, I can refine that thing for Senior Brother Wen immediately, how about it?"

"Hmph, if I can find the person surnamed Luo, do I still need to come to you?" Wen Zhang leaned closer again, "You'd better obediently refine it for me, otherwise, do you believe that I can remove you from the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall in a few words?" ”

Qian Chao was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately he said: "Well, junior brother, I really don't believe it." ”

"You're ......!" Wen Zhang was already completely enraged, and a baby's face was flushed, and he was about to rush up.

As soon as Han Jin saw that he knew that if he moved, it would be bad for him, and he was about to step forward to stop him, when he heard a person suddenly speak loudly from the top of Qian Chao's small courtyard.

"Hey! The second child of the Wen family, what's the matter, do you still dare to do it within the sect? I can look at it, if you dare to do it, I will immediately go to Siguotang to find someone to arrest you, even if you escape back to Old Man Wen, his old man's punishment is probably only harsher than Siguotang, right? ”

Qian Chao listened to this person's words, but smiled slightly, and the secret way really came!
