Most of the sword cultivation is the use of refining from the spirit sword, that is, the monk through the alchemy to obtain the spirit sword, which is related to alchemy, is what Qian Chao is good at, after Qian Chao built the foundation, his alchemy skills are not only famous in the Five Spirits Sect, the "money system" magic sword because of its sharp and agile movement in the south of the entire Central Continent, the sphere of influence of the Five Spirits Sect are sought after by the monks, many people are doing everything possible to find Qian Chao in order to get the magic sword he refined, And those who are really willing to pay a lot of money for Qian Chao to refine a high-quality magic sword with his heart are those sword cultivators who build a foundation.

And Li Jian, as Qian Chao's close partner, is not the sword he uses that Qian Chao refines, his sword is the spiritual bamboo in the purple bamboo forest where he lives, and the two green bamboo branches are two extremely sharp long swords in his hands.

This is a remote method in sword cultivation to materialize the sword.

At present, among Mu Xiufeng's qi refining disciples, in addition to Li Jian, there is another person who is also taking the path of materializing swords, and that is Yan Shuang.

Yan Shuang was born in the Great Sect Nine Plains in the Far North, she herself is a water spirit root, and she doesn't know if she found it herself or was taught by her elders, and the Xueliang long sword in her hand is said to be a piece of ice that has not melted for thousands of years.

Li Jian himself is a wood spirit root, and his green bamboo twin swords were originally two green bamboo branches.

In addition, it is said that there are also those who use the bones of powerful monsters as swords, and most of them use monster teeth, and there are also other objects that are used as long swords, so such monks will appear in subsequent stories.

But generally speaking, this method of materializing the sword is still mostly based on wood spirit sword cultivation in sword cultivation, that is, sword cultivation itself is a wood spirit root, and then it is not limited to any spirit wood, and it has great power when it is used in your hand over the years.

However, if the sword cultivator, like other monks, could not break through all the time and his yang longevity was exhausted, or if he was seriously injured in the battle, it would inevitably be the end of his fall.

And the spirit sword they used in their hands, that is, the spirit wood branch, was turned into a sword after the fall of its owner.

As for the words of dead sword metamorphosis and living sword metamorphosis, it only exists in the Wood Spirit Sword Cultivation.

When the sword cultivation fell, if his cultivation was under the knot, then the spiritual wood sword he used would be called the "Dead Sword Shed", and the wooden stick that Song Yuan had identified with Qian Chao before was a Dead Sword Shed, and the usefulness of the Dead Sword Shed was relatively biased, which could be said to be of little use.

If the sword cultivator was a sword cultivator who was a sword cultivator when he fell, then the spirit wood sword he used was called the "Living Sword Shed", and the biggest difference between this living sword Shed and the Dead Sword Shed was...... Plant the living sword in the soil, and under the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, the living sword can take root and sprout, and grow into a big tree with a strong sword aura and lush greenness!

In the sword wood forest in front of the five people, although there are not many trees, as far as the eye can see, the big trees in this forest are all born from living swords!

After recognizing the origin of these big trees, the shock in the hearts of Li Jian and Qian Chao can be imagined!

In that battle, almost all the elders in the Five Spirits Sect were besieging those Dust Stained Sect Sword Cultivation Elders who had fallen into madness, and that time...... How many people died here!

Just look at the sword wood forest in front of you to know how many Mu Xiufeng's wood spirit sword cultivators fell here in that war!

From this, there were countless other Yuedan monks who fell together at that time!

That incident was definitely a disaster for the Five Spirits Sect!

Even that battle is likely to be an important turning point for Mu Xiufeng from prosperity to decline, and until now, Mu Xiufeng does not seem to have recovered.

An accident in the great sect directly led to the rise and fall of a sword sect, and it was also related to the life and death of many monks.

Feeling this, Li Jian took a step towards the forest.

The monstrous hatred and killing intent that originally permeated the forest and the boundless and violent sword qi that overflowed from it seemed to be just preventing the five of them from continuing to move forward, as Li Jian took this step forward, all of them actually found an outlet for catharsis, and in an instant, like a hungry beast discovering a small beast that could satisfy its stomach, they all turned to Li Jian, and the overlapping pressure swept like an invisible and qualitative flood, and the mountain breeze on the face seemed to be a Dao Dao sword blade that passed by, Li Jian's front and back were instantly stared at countless suspicious eyes that others could not find, they stared at each other, suspicious, and seemed to wait for him to take another step before they all came up and tore him to pieces.

Li Jian, who was nervous and frightened, took off the Mu Xiufeng jade pendant that represented his identity from his waist, held it in his hand and raised it forward, and the warm jade pendant was shining brightly under the urging of the sword intent in the forest at this time.

The Cold Moon Fairy once said that if she wants to pass through this sword wood forest, she must show her identity.

She also said that there is an extremely powerful monster here......

Senior Leng Yue didn't say that it was a demon beast, let alone a demon bird, but that there were monsters here!

It is impossible for Leng Yue's predecessors to lie to themselves, and it is impossible to say that they are wrong, this Mu Xiufeng's jade pendant is the identity of the sword cultivator of the Five Spirits Sect, thinking of this, Li Jian took another step forward with his jade pendant, and then, in this sword and wood forest, the next scene that happened made the five people dare not believe their eyes!

The first to find out was of course Li Jian, but he didn't make any sound, but the four people behind him were different, the first to notice was Yan Xuan, no way, only she was the least bold among the five, so she was also the most sensitive, she was looking at Li Jian's figure with great worry, and suddenly found that from behind every big tree in the sword forest, a figure turned out of the brush!

"Ah" let out a low shout, Yan Xuan immediately covered his mouth, and then Tang Ping also saw it, and then the four of them saw all this in horror.

In fact, it is not a person, but a human-shaped phantom, a phantom can be seen next to every big tree in the sword forest, it is the outline of a person's body in detail, but the facial features, face, clothing, etc. are all imaginary, like the white vapor coming out of a hot tea, but it is even more chaotic and turbid, they turn out from the back of the big tree in unison and do not move, just stand quietly, you can feel it, those ...... Shadow...... is staring at Li Jian who broke into the forest, like a threat, more like a momentum!

Since these figures turned out from behind those trees, Li Jian felt a desperate fear for the first time in his life, he had always been decisive and resolute in killing, and he deeply realized that his insignificance was like grass mustard at that time, and when he thought about it afterwards, he realized that only when Tang Bonian, Gu Hou senior, Kang Pu senior, and even Leng Yue senior and other characters all moved to him with murderous intentions and stood in front of him ready to do it, he could have this feeling of despair!

Senior Leng Yue will not lie to himself!

Li Jian turned his heart sideways, there was a monster in front of him, not a demon beast that could not be enlightened, since Leng Yue's predecessor wanted to reveal the identity of Mu Xiufeng's disciple by himself, it would be fine, so ......

"The disciple of Mu Xiufeng of the Five Spirits Sect of the younger generation, passing by the Sword Shrine Mountain, came to pay homage to the tomb of the ancestor of the Sword Cultivator, and I hope you don't stop it!"

Li Jian held the jade pendant and said loudly to the forest, for the first time in his life, he felt that he was a little lacking in confidence.

Then those figures turned from standing under the tree to walking towards Li Jian!

All five of them were extremely nervous at the same time!

What are these figures, Qian Chao's face was pale, but his eyes flashed with blue light, he didn't dare to alarm those figures, but he still wanted to see through some clues, but he kept frowning. In Tang Ping's opinion, this is definitely not a natural demon beast, let alone an illusion of a demon beast, as for what it is, she can't understand it. As for Yan Xuan and Lu Pingchuan, they don't know what they see in front of them, compared to the fear in Yan Xuan's heart, Lu Pingchuan, who has always been fearless, thinks about death at this time!

Thanks to Qian Chao standing beside Lu Pingchuan, he noticed Lu Pingchuan's nervousness, this Lu brother was trembling, sweating on his forehead, almost on the verge of collapse, Qian Chao generally grabbed Lu Pingchuan's clenched fist wrist and shook his head...... Since Li Jian said that he could solve it, and it was taught by Leng Yue's predecessors, then ...... There should be nothing wrong with that!

Just like fear to the extreme, anger is going to have a hysterical attack, Li Jian's heart is also changing at this time, his heart is not fear, but nervous, after the tension reaches the extreme, he simply does not do anything, simply waits and waits, and does nothing to stay where he is and watch those figures come towards him.

Although these figures are all imaginary, they can also distinguish the difference under a closer look, some seem to be tall and mighty, some are thin, and even some of the phantoms know that they are a fair woman at a glance, and the steps they come over are also different, some stride towards Li Jian, and some walk calmly behind, but no matter what, as these figures approach, the killing intent like an iceberg is extremely heavy towards Li Jian!

Moreover, these figures were originally a shadow of white vapor chaos, but as they approached Li Jian one after another, the color of those shadows gradually changed, from a chaotic white vapor to turbid yellow sand, and then like a blood mist, and finally when they arrived in front of Li Jian, they all became pitch black, like ink clouds.

At the same time, the branches and leaves of all the trees in this sword wood forest shook in unison, the mountain wind was not strong, and the branches and leaves were only gently shaking, but when these figures came in unison, almost all the canopies were trembling, making a sharp buzzing sound like gold and iron, indicating that danger was about to come in the next moment!

How do you identify yourself?

It seems that this Mu Xiufeng's jade pendant doesn't seem to be of much use.

At this time, all five of them were thinking.

Li Jian looked at the chaotic figures in front of him, which had almost gathered into a black wall, and suddenly it was as if he had seen the lights of the city in the distance in the dark night of the storm!

These figures had already blocked Li Jian's gaze, but above these figures, it was the lush branches and leaves of this sword wood forest!

Sword Wood Forest!

The Forest of Living Swords!

Sword Shedding!

Lingmu Sword!

His green bamboo spirit sword!

Originally...... Leng Yue's predecessor said that he showed his identity...... That's what it means!

"Sword ......" Tang Ping suddenly muttered, and then raised his head sharply to shout, causing Yan Xuan to look sideways nervously.

Qian Chao suddenly shouted:

"Brother Li, your sword ......!"

And just when Tang Ping and Qian Chao both figured it out, Li Jian had already held his two green bamboo branches in his hands, and the green bamboo branches had a comfortable coolness in the palms of his hands, which gave Li Jian a sense of peace of mind that he could rely on!

Then in front of the crowd of figures in front of him, the two green bamboo branches suddenly blazing white light, in an instant, the bamboo knots on the bamboo branches were gone, the greenery disappeared, in the violent white light, the green bamboo branches turned into a long and short two indestructible swords, the sword shape is clumsy, the sword body is straight, the sword light is bright, the blade is cold, if there is no killing intent rippled out from the sword body, accompanied by two sword sounds that seem to resonate together!

All the pitch-black figures stopped moving at the same time, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they should be staring at the sword in Li Jian's hand in a daze!

Then, under the gentle blowing of a gust of mountain wind, the wind disappeared, and the dark figures were blown away!

The hum of gold and iron from the branches and leaves of the forest disappeared at the same time.

At the same time, there is also the lingering pressure and layers of killing intent since stepping into this Sword Shrine Mountain, and the lingering and unknown source of the heartbeat has also dissipated together, the sword intent and sword energy here in Sword Shrine Mountain is still there, but it seems that the hostility and killing intent towards them have disappeared in an instant, completely and completely!

Li Jian was about to fall down as if he had collapsed, and at this time the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand had recovered into a green bamboo branch, fortunately with the support of this green bamboo branch, otherwise Li Jian would have really fallen, when those figures were blown away, Li Jian knew that this level was passed, but he obviously didn't do it, for some reason he only felt that his whole body was like a prostration after a big battle, and his whole body did not have half of his strength.

"Brother Li!" Yan Xuan and Tang Ping hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Qian Chao's face was still a little pale, he looked up at the branches and leaves of the sword wood forest that had returned to calm, and he was stunned and didn't know what to think.

"Obedient," Lu Pingchuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "It's been so big...... I finally saw a ghost today! ”

Seeing that Li Jian was really weak, Yan Xuan and Tang Ping helped him sit on the edge of the forest, Yan Xuan grabbed his wrist to investigate the situation in his body, and Tang Ping asked with palpitations:

"Brother Li, those ...... What is it? ”

"It's not a ghost...... It's ......" Li Jian listened to Lu Pingchuan's words just now, and said with some gasp: "Sword puppet!" ”

……

There is no reasonable explanation for what the sword puppet is, whether it is the Five Spirits Sect or Mu Xiufeng, it is a kind of attitude towards the sword puppet of Sword Shrine Mountain, after all, to explain the sword puppet is to explain the big event that caused the Five Spirits Sect to suffer a heavy blow. And looking at the entire Middle Continent, except for the Sword Shrine Mountain of the Five Spirit Sect, there seems to be no talk of the appearance of the sword puppet anywhere.

The Cold Moon Fairy said something to Li Jian later, and this statement was also privately recognized by Mu Xiufeng's sword cultivation elders, that is, after the sword cultivation entered the demon and died in a state of complete madness, his soul could not be liberated, and endless regret would accompany him forever, his soul was polluted by the demon realm, and he was remorseful before he died, and he was entangled with madness and remorse, and the demon heart was entangled with the sword heart, so he created a sword puppet that is not found anywhere else in the world, it is said that after the war in Sword Mound Mountain, Mu Xiufeng's sword cultivator found the sword puppet when he came here to pay respects, Many sword cultivators thought that they had provoked some difficult monster here, so they took out their magic weapon long sword and prepared to drive it away, but when the sword light appeared, those sword puppets fled, and after repeating this, people discovered the characteristics of this sword puppet...... As long as he is a sword cultivator, he can frighten those sword golems.

Later, people understood that it was not a retreat at all, but the remnants of the sword puppet due to the remorse and guilt for Mu Xiufeng!

After Li Jian rested, the five of them felt completely different when they passed through this sword wood forest again, the forest was still full of sword energy, but the desperate fear from before was no longer there. Looking at the thick sword trees that passed by, and feeling the sword qi in the forest, these five people even had a feeling of being in Muxiu Peak in addition to being amazed.

There is a tall stone mound at the end of the sword forest, and there is a stone tablet standing in front of the stone mound, and there is only a big word "repentance" on the stele, thinking that this is the place where the elders of the Dust Staining Sect were buried together.

Li Jian is a disciple of Mu Xiufeng in the end, no matter how much harm the elders buried here have caused to the Five Spirits Sect, they are not out of their own hearts, and the word "repentance" on the tombstone is enough to explain. Before the stone mound, Li Jian tidied up his appearance, and then bowed down solemnly, what he worshipped was not only the elders buried here but also the lineage of Mu Xiufeng's inheritance that can continue to this day.

Next, the five of them found the sword washing pool.

A cave in the stone wall is not deep, and then the light outside the cave is clearly visible.

It was a small pool, but it was very deep, and it was full of clear water, and above the pool was a stone stalactite hanging upside down, and every once in a while a drop of clear water dripped into it, causing a ripple in the pool.

"It's ...... Lots of swords! Lu Pingchuan said suddenly, he was poking his head out to look into the pool.

Sure enough, several people leaned over to look, and at the bottom of the pool, a long sword overflowing with cold light was scattered there in the clear water, some had been broken into a broken sword, and some were still intact and brilliant.

After looking at it, Li Jian sighed and said:

"Probably...... It's all the swords used by those predecessors back then, and the sword washing pool, only by washing can it be clean, and only by removing sins, this is probably the reason why this pool got its name. ”

After a pause, Li Jian said again:

"Confronting those sword puppets just now, I seem to have some understanding, well, can we stay here for a while, I want to have a look at the sword wood forest, maybe there will be something to gain, how about it?"

"Of course."

Li Jian bathed his own pair of green bamboo branches with dripping spiritual spring water under the stone stalactite, and then came out of the cave, he now walked slowly around every big tree in the sword forest, and when he looked up, he either patted or stroked on the trunk of the tree, or was stunned or closed his eyes to feel, after a while, he sat cross-legged under a cluster of upright and handsome spiritual bamboos, and placed the two green bamboo branches that he had just bathed in the spiritual spring water on his knees, and then closed his eyes and entered meditation.

The spiritual spring water here is rare, and Tang Ping continues to stay in the cave to collect the low spiritual spring, while Yan Xuan accompanies her.

Lu Pingchuan sat at the mouth of the cave and watched Li Jian turn around in the forest for a long time, then sat down, and when he saw Qian Chao coming out of the cave, he said:

"Brother Qian, I looked at Brother Li a little unusually just now, I won't be fascinated by those puppets here, right?"

"Don't worry, no, today should be a rare opportunity for Brother Li, let's just wait quietly."

"Well, okay, as long as Brother Li is fine."

When the five of them found the sword washing pool, it was only noon, and Li Jian sat in the sword wood forest after that, and then the shadow of the sun slanted westward, the shadow of the trees gradually grew, and finally the twilight was vast, and the stars appeared in the sky, and then the night was deep and silent.

The four of them all understood that this trip to Sword Shrine Mountain was an important opportunity for Li Jian, so they didn't dare to make any noise to disturb him at all, and even if they talked to each other, they were all whispering.

It wasn't until the east was white and the morning dew was beginning to condense that Li Jian slowly opened his eyes.

This time the enlightenment in the Sword Shrine Mountain is extremely important to Li Jian, and this time the opportunity is not for his cultivation, but for Li Jian, as a sword cultivator, in this meditation, he has quietly forged his own sword intent.

Li Jian once had the privilege of feeling the sword intent of the cold moon seniors, that time the cold moon seniors just picked a blade of grass casually, and compared the blade of grass to a sword style for Li Jian to sense himself, and was pointed out by the blade of grass, Li Jian felt that he was under the snowfield iceberg and looked up at the bright moon hanging high, but it was still that time, after letting Li Jian feel it, the cold moon senior let him forget this feeling, because this sword intent is hers, and the sword intent of each sword cultivator is different, even if it is a master-apprentice relationship, the disciple cannot imitate his master, I have to find my sword intent by myself, and in this experience, Li Jian has already preliminarily found my sword intent, and ...... It was not long after that fierce battle broke out that it began to show its strength!

There is another thing that surprised Li Jian, the two green bamboo branches he put on his knees, the long branch of which was also the first one he used when he was playing with a swarm of bees in the bamboo forest, I don't know if it was because of the improvement of this spiritual spring water bath, or because Li Jian's sword intent was budding, a tender green bamboo leaf was born at a bamboo joint, and the short bamboo branch did not change much.

When Li Jian got up and walked towards a few of his partners, Tang Ping stared at Li Jian with sharp eyes and said with some hesitation:

"Brother Li seems to be ...... What's a little different? ”

"Hehe, Brother Li has rested for so long, of course his spirit is sufficient." Lu Pingchuan said with a smile.

"It's a little different." Yan Xuan also said.

Qian Chao said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Brother Li!"

Li Jian smiled:

"This time it can be regarded as a gain, but the specific situation will not be known until later, now I have nothing else to do, Brother Qian, we can go to the place where the gentle hands and feet are done."

"Let's go!"
