Chapter 37: The Birth of the Stars (2)
Hearing the word obsidian, Murong Xiu subconsciously thought of Xingyao.
I thought to myself, could it be that the stars were bred by the obsidian that the old man said?
So what are the characteristics of obsidian in the category of exotic stones?
Thinking of this, he stopped running, although Xingyao was a weapon, in fact, he had already regarded it as a companion, because Xingyao had spirits, and it was not comparable to those dead things.
Obediently summoned Xingyao and handed it to Murong Bai's hands, the latter's eyes suddenly lit up, looking left and right, that expression was even more excited than when Murong Xiu was in the sword pool, so he could decide that Xingyao was definitely an extraordinarily good sword.
"Old man, what is obsidian?" asked Murong Xiu.
"Stupid, of course it's the material for this sword. Murong Bai responded angrily.
Murong Xiu was angry for a while, just by looking at Murong Bai's expression, what he wanted to know was what was so strange about obsidian.
Under his constant questioning, Murong Bai looked at the Xingyao Sword inch by inch, and explained to him what obsidian was without saying a word.
It turned out that the sun, moon, and stars were all Yao, which was also the reason why Murong Xiu named it Xingyao. The seven stars of the sun, moon, water, fire, wood, metal, and earth are collectively called the seven stars. Obsidian is also known as 'Tears of the Ancestors', and it has a story.
Legend has it that in the ancient years, a team of an ancient tribe was ambushed by the enemy, outnumbered, and the whole army was annihilated, and the bad news came, and the tears of the family members fell to the ground and turned into small black stones, so the "tears of the ancestors" got its name. (The Tears of the Ancestors is a shy adaptation, don't take it seriously.) )
According to the ancient records, obsidian helps to absorb qi, and has the miraculous effect of clearing the holder's negative energy and avoiding evil, if the practitioner has an obsidian weapon, it will not only help the holder absorb the heaven and earth vitality faster and better, but also have the ability to refine impurities to make the vitality more pure, which is tantamount to a treasure-like existence for immortal cultivators.
From this, it can be seen how bold and fortunate the Qi Sect Patriarch was back then, and he actually found such a strange stone for the disciples of later generations, and fortunately, after many years of cultivation, it really formed a peerless sword.
As for the characteristics of obsidian, Murong Bai just said such a sentence, that is, 'The heavens and stars are obsidian, and the rocks are heavy and fall into the sky.' The general meaning is that the stars in the heavens have a place of obsidian, but they are not as dazzling as the other stars, and they are so solid and thick that even the firmament may fall for them.
"Even the firmament can fall for it?"
Whispering, Murong Xiu's heart was even more excited, because such a weapon was exactly what he needed in his ideals, in comparison, he was still some distance from Murong Zheng and the others in refining the Qi Imperial Sword, and this distance required him to work steadily and get closer step by step.
The path of cultivation is not to follow the rules and follow the path of the ancestors, but also to find another way, first take another path to the extreme, that is the physical body, he not only has the true dragon bath blood body, but also cultivates the sword gang, this is his biggest advantage, even if he can't reach the extreme in a short period of time, he can also use this to close the distance with Murong Zheng and the others. This is not an opportunistic approach, but something that every immortal cultivator has to go through, and he just took this step out in advance.
After the incident of the sword pool, in the following days, everyone devoted themselves to cultivation again, preparing for the upcoming sword debate.
After refining the natal spirit weapon, Murong Xiu also had the honor of becoming the seed player of the sword discussion this time, even though his realm was not so outstanding, no one doubted that his combat power was directly proportional to the realm. Putting aside the natal spirit weapon, the true essence of Jian Gang was also included in his bag, and those rubbings were like copies, and the true meaning had already been integrated into his mind, so the speed at which he cultivated Jian Gang far exceeded that of others, and his comprehension of Jian Gang's true meaning was much faster than others.
Jian Gang is a method specially used to refine the body, and cultivating in this method can not only make the body further break through the limit, but also help and improve one's own physique, etc., for those immortal cultivators who are dedicated to refining the body, Jian Gang is a supreme method, and it is a priceless treasure in their eyes.
After a few days of careful study and understanding, Murong Xiu finally had a preliminary understanding of Jian Gang. Jian Gang, Jian Gang, a sword, a gang, not only to temper the body, but also to supplement the sword to cultivate, this is the mystery of the sword Gang mastered by the ancient sword sect. When he was in the sword pool, he wanted to find a good sword with both offense and defense, ordinary swords were much more fragile in comparison, he understood the truth of sword damage, and it was his luck to be able to find such a rock-solid sword as Xingyao, which also prompted him to be stronger than most people when using sword gang in the future.
After that, after three months of cultivation, Jian Gang became a little successful, and at the same time, he became more and more proficient in Xingyao, which also relied on Murong Bai, a strict master, who had been urging him to become familiar with Xingyao and practice Jian Gang since he hit the sword pool, and let him try the sword himself, and confront Murong Bai every day, although he was tortured to death every day, but he was still rewarded, and he did not let him suffer three months in vain.
On this day, everyone was about to leave for the Sword Sect, even if everyone was not happy, they had to admit that the place where the Sword Sect was located was inherited by the Ancient Sword Sect, and the Sword Shrine was naturally in the Sword Sect, but at that time, the Qi Sect Patriarch took away a secret method to open the Sword Shrine, and without this secret method, the Sword Shrine could not be opened, which made the Sword Sect have to invite the Qi Sect to participate in the sword discussion.
The eight people who had gone down the mountain to train before were naturally the seed players of the Qi Sect's sword discussion this time, and the eight people were Murong Zheng, Tang Min, Tang Xiao, Murong Qiuxue, Han Yuer, Xing Fei, Shang Yuchun and Murong Xiu. In addition, Murong Zhan also arranged for some disciples to go to observe, these are the elite disciples of the Qi Sect, saying that it is to observe, but in fact, it is to give the Qi Sect a pressure formation, not to let the people of the Sword Sect underestimate the Qi Sect, and for the sake of their safety, Murong Zhan himself wants to protect the Sword Sect and cannot travel far, this responsibility naturally falls on Murong Bai, the latter is very happy, who makes his character like this, if he is allowed to stay in the Qi Sect day after day, year after year, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to be suffocated.
At the mountain gate of the Sword Sect, a group of more than a dozen people went away under the eyes of many disciples, this time is different from the past, this trip is not for experience, with their cultivation as the realm, they can fly all the way to the Sword Sect, but for everyone's physical and mental state, Murong Bai asked everyone to change to walking every time the sword flies for a period of time, so as to maintain their best condition, if they encounter injustice, they will naturally have to take care of it.
At ten o'clock in the evening, under the leadership of Murong Bai, they came to a small town called Stone City and settled down. Shicheng is very special, the streets and alleys are all doing stone tool business, although the city is small, but it is expensive in the super high skill of stone tools, so that Shicheng has a lot of fame in the area of Liaoxi County.
In the eyes of these disciples who have not been out of the house for a long time, all kinds of stone tools and stone carvings in the city are dazzling, and countless collections make them dizzy, and there are many exotic stones.
"I really want to move all the different stones in Stone City to our sword pool, and in many years, we will definitely be able to breed many good swords. Playing with a particularly beautiful foreign stone, Tang Min's eyes glowed with gold, if it weren't for the frighteningly high price, she really wanted to buy it on the spot.
"You girl with a big heart can do it, if you want to buy all the different stones in Shicheng, it's not enough to press the entire Qi Sect into it. Murong Bai grinded his teeth on the side, and everyone laughed when he heard it, his character is like this, he doesn't forget to hit the little ones wherever he goes.
"Uncle Shi, is your old man so good, people are just talking...... Already. Speaking of this, Tang Min suddenly found a girl with injuries on her body, and looking at her clothes, she felt a little familiar. "It's ...... How could the disciple of Yanyu Building appear here, it seems that he is still injured. ”
Hearing this, Murong Bai's master and apprentice suddenly turned their heads to look, Yanyulou is a famous and authentic sect, and has always been friendly with the Qi Sect, so it attracted Murong Bai's attention, as for Murong Xiu, he naturally thought of a person, a little girl Jian'er who had not seen him for ten years, because the eldest grandson Jingru brought Jian'er to Yanyulou, and for ten years, he had been thinking about Jian'er all the time, and he was naturally not unfamiliar with the name of Yanyulou.
"Yes, it's a disciple of Yanyulou, go see what's going on, go." Here, before Murong Bai's words were finished, he saw Murong Xiu rushing over first, staring at the injured girl without turning his eyes, as if he was lost.
With the relationship between Yanyulou and Qi Sect, Murong Bai naturally couldn't ignore this kind of thing.
