Chapter Eighty-Three: Driving the Sword (Four Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Calm your mind, keep your dantian, attract your mind with your heart, drive things away with your law, your heart and mind are together, your soul is condensed in one place, your heart is going, and your instrument is going." Yuan Ming closed his eyes, and while carrying his mana towards the stone in his hand, he silently recited the mantra in his heart.
After a moment, he only felt that his palms were slightly hot, and the stone he held was shrouded in a faint cyan light, and there were faint streamers on the surface.
"Up!" Yuan Ming's eyes widened, and he drank softly.
The mana in his body unconsciously surged out, pouring into the stone along the palm of his hand, but the stone in his hand only swelled violently with cyan light, and then the light shone away, and there was no movement.
Yuan Ming's eyes froze, and he was not discouraged, after all, no spell could succeed at one time.
He closed his eyes again, and tried several times, but there was no progress.
Why is that...... Could it be because there is not enough mana infusion? The so-called heart-to-heart harmony is that my mind is not focused enough, or I don't understand it well......" Yuan Ming thought to himself.
With this in mind, he sat quietly and breathed for a moment, then tried again.
The fire gluttonous on the side didn't know why, seeing that he was holding a stone in his arms and glowing from time to time, he couldn't help but step forward, reached out and touched it with his little paws, and saw that there was no danger, so he was a little bolder, and stepped forward to play with it.
Yuan Ming tried again, but failed again.
"Perhaps, as recorded in the book, this kind of ordinary thing without spirituality is difficult to communicate, cannot be compatible, and it is really not easy to control." He sighed softly and threw the stone in his hand, which startled the greedy child who was having fun.
Yuan Ming pondered for a while, raised his hand and wiped it on the storage bag on his waist, and a silver light flashed in front of him, and the herring sword immediately appeared and landed in front of him.
He stretched out his hand to grasp the herring sword, and his other hand gently rubbed the sword body a few times, and at the same time urged the mana in the dantian to cross towards the sword, and suddenly a layer of blurred blue light on the surface of the long sword swirled and flowed, faintly with a trace of agility.
When the mana dissipates and the blue light of the sword body is gone, it is no different from an ordinary bronze long sword.
"If you want to talk about spiritual things, I have this half-magic weapon in my hand that is more qualified." Yuan Ming muttered to himself.
Immediately, his eyes were slightly closed, his hands were holding the long sword, and his mind was all focused on the sword.
"Draw the mind with the heart, drive things with the law, the heart and spirit are together, and the soul is condensed in one place......" He carried his mana and crossed towards the herring sword, while silently reciting the mantra in his heart.
Soon, the blue light on the herring fish sword lit up again, and as the mana continued to be injected, it revealed a trace of sharp energy.
Yuan Ming's heart moved, and this time he didn't even open his mouth to speak.
At this time, Huo Glutton'er was cautiously approaching, stretching out his claws and trying to fiddle with the herring sword.
But the moment it approached, a strange scene appeared, the herring sword suddenly bounced up from Yuan Ming's palm, suspended three inches from his palm, swaying left and right, looking like it was about to fall down at any time.
The fire gluttonous suddenly had a spirit, jumped up from the ground, and jumped directly onto the old tree on the side.
"Get up......"
As soon as Yuan Minggang was happy, his mind was divided, and the herring fish sword immediately shook violently a few times, and directly inserted the sword body downwards on the ground, falling into a small half.
But Rao was like this, Yuan Ming was also pleasantly surprised in his heart, he immediately pulled up his long sword and tried again.
The urging of the herring sword was completely different from that of the stone, and it was far smoother than he had imagined, but after trying it a few times, he found some problems.
Although the herring fish sword was able to rise and fly as he wished, it was slower than he thought every time, and it always felt a little unsmooth and a little ...... A feeling of unresponsiveness.
"Let me go!" Yuan Ming pointed forward and snorted.
The herring sword immediately staggered and rushed straight forward, but before it could fly three zhang away, the mana connected to each other was interrupted.
The herring sword immediately "clanged" and fell straight to the ground.
"It's a bit hard to control, but that's the way it should be done, and you should be able to perform better with practice. It seems that this exorcism is still much more convenient to use on this semi-magic weapon than for things that have no spirit. By the way, I still have this ......" Yuan Ming thought to himself, and an idea surged in his heart.
He got up and looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he summoned the cyan incense burner from his arm.
Subsequently, Yuan Ming crossed the mana into the incense burner and performed the exorcism technique again.
This time, as soon as his thoughts came to him, and before he even had time to give a command, the incense burner had already floated leisurely and suspended in front of Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately his heart moved, and with a wave of one hand, the incense burner swayed and flew out in the distance.
Unlike the herring fish sword, which could only fly three zhang away, the incense burner was almost cut off from Yuan Ming after it flew nearly ten zhang away.
Yuan Ming hurriedly got up, ran over, and picked up the incense burner one step ahead of the curious fire mink.
Huo Yu'er was very curious about this flying incense burner, and she had to compete with Yuan Ming when she climbed up.
"You little guy, don't move, find something to do by yourself, make trouble again, and you'll be hungry for the next meal." Yuan Ming threw the fire mink out, and immediately took the incense burner and came to his eyes to take a closer look.
Judging from the reaction from his first exorcism, he was already convinced that this incense burner was at least a magic weapon-level treasure, which made him quite excited.
After Yuan Ming thought about it, he used the exorcism technique again, manipulated the incense burner to fly, and tried to increase the mana to see if he could inspire any magical powers.
But after several attempts, nothing was found, and the incense burner was always like a stubborn stone, showing no other power.
"Could it be because I haven't refined it?"
Yuan Ming thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, planning to use the refining mantra of the Three Cave Bishops to refine this incense burner.
As early as the day he mastered the refining formula, he had already tried to refine the herring sword, but it turned out that it was only a half-magic weapon, and it did not have the conditions for refining at all, so he had to give up.
Just do it, Yuan Ming immediately held the incense burner in his hand, recited the mantra of refining things in his mouth, and tried to refine the treasure.
In the next moment, a strong repulsive force radiated from it, and golden rune prohibitions appeared layer by layer, and before Yuan Ming could see it clearly, he was bounced away by the golden light.
He flew up from the spot and crashed into an old tree seven or eight feet away before stopping.
When the mink lying on the tree saw this scene, he directly stiffened his neck and froze in place, not understanding what was happening at all.
"Hey, it's such a powerful forbidden power...... Yuan Ming sighed while rubbing his chest.
Although he failed to refine the incense burner, Yuan Ming was a little inexplicably happy.
From the layers of rune prohibitions, it was not difficult for him to see that this incense burner must be a rare magic weapon, and it might even be the legendary treasure.
Thinking of this, he no longer tried to refine without his own strength, but continued to practice the exorcism technique.
……
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
Somewhere in the 100,000 mountains, a half-man-tall leopard beast cautiously advanced through the forest, vigilantly watching the surrounding movements while looking for its prey.
There was a "bang" in the jungle ahead, and a small beast with a fiery red body and a fox appeared and ran towards the front happily.
The leopard beast was overjoyed in its eyes, and immediately flew up, and the jungle within a few feet made a loud noise, and the fishy wind danced wildly.
The fiery red beast looked frightened, opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of red flames, hitting the leopard beast, but the red flame was too weak, and before it could get close to the leopard, it was torn apart by the wind.
The leopard's steely claws appeared on top of the beast's head in a flick and clawed down.
At this moment, a cyan long sword shot out from the jungle in front of him, stabbing at the chest of the leopard beast with lightning speed.
The leopard beast roared, its four hooves kicked violently on the ground, and its tall body moved sideways, narrowly dodging the blow of the cyan sword.
However, the cyan long sword suddenly deflected in the direction of its flight, and continued to stab at the leopard beast, as if an invisible hand held the blade of the sword.
With a soft "poof", the cyan long sword pierced into the leopard's heart, reaching the hilt.
The leopard beast let out a terrible wail and fell to the ground, struggling for a moment before not moving.
In the sound of "bang" in the jungle ahead, Yuan Ming's figure walked out.
"You little guy, I told you a long time ago that this place is very dangerous, and I can't afford to run around and get things going around." He grabbed the fiery red beast and knocked it on the head.
The fiery red beast lowered its head with a look of recognition.
"Don't do it again! If you don't obey again, close the bag! Seeing this, Yuan Ming was really angry and funny, rolled his eyes at him, and still put it on his shoulder.
As the contact with the fire greed deepened, he finally understood why Legon said that the fire martk was noisy, although this little thing was not very bold, but he was full of curiosity about all kinds of things, and he could not be idle at all, and he would run around without paying attention, which was a headache.
There are too many places that can't be visited in the sect, and there are many rules and regulations, Yuan Ming felt a little uncomfortable after staying for a long time, so he simply came to the 100,000 Mountains with Huo Gluttony on this day, and came to this place where he had lived as a woolly beast slave for a period of time, and let go of his heart.
Yuan Ming stroked the fluffy little guy on his shoulder a few times, and then pinched the exorcism technique, and the void was drawn.
"Whoosh".
The herring sword inserted into the leopard's chest flew back upside down, levitating in front of him, trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
During this period of time, under his continuous practice, he has become more and more proficient in controlling the herring fish sword through exorcism, not only has he made great progress in terms of stability and accuracy, but the urging distance has also increased from the previous three zhang to the current seven or eight zhang, and with his own deepening, he should be able to improve in this aspect.
It's a pity that the herring fish sword is only a semi-magic weapon after all, which is different from the real magic weapon, plus his lack of cultivation and mana, there is no problem with the simple control of going straight, once you want to do complex actions, you can't do it.
As soon as he thought of this, he became more and more eager to have a real magic weapon.
