Asking About Longevity Chapter 742

Chapter 742 Sword Test (Added update for the leader of the alliance, Mr. Xuan Chou~)

 Practice and have fun…

"Fine."

Situ Jian looked helplessly at the ink painting with shining eyes.

 After that, Mo Hua began to practice sword-wielding, with Situ Jian giving guidance and being responsible for "picking up the sword" for Mo Hua.

Although Situ Jian has not yet learned how to handle a sword, he comes from a family of swordsmanship and has been exposed to many swordsmanship techniques since childhood. Even if he has not learned them, he has seen most of them and knows much more than Mo Hua.

With him watching from the side and giving some pointers, he would not let the ink painting go wrong.

 Under Situ Jian's guidance, Mo Hua's sword control progressed rapidly.

 Because he omitted the important stages of accumulating sword energy and integrating sword energy and sword weapons, it was just "sword control with spiritual consciousness", and the difficulty was not high.

 For the ink painting of divine consciousness and enlightenment, it is even relatively simple.

Situ Jian became more and more frightened as he looked at it, but he also felt more and more regretful as he looked at it.

“Senior Brother's spiritual sword control is too fast and too far, but the power... is really terrible..."

 It cannot be said that there is none at all.

 Somewhat.

It's just that this power comes from the "strength" of divine consciousness to control objects. It is like a hidden weapon thrown with bare hands, and is of little use.

What's more, he used a "broken sword".

 The sword itself was not sharp and was rusty.

Situ Jian shook his head.

However, he still did his duty and helped Mo Hua practice "sword-handling" for a day. It wasn't until Mo Hua became very proficient that the two returned to the clan.

 After arriving at the sect, Mo Hua specially invited Situ Jian to have a big meal as a thank you for his instruction in the art of swordsmanship.

 Being from the same sect, it is very honorable to be invited to dinner by the younger senior brother.

 Situ Jian also enjoyed the meal very happily.

After the two of them were full, they returned to their disciples' residences.

 After returning to the disciple's residence, Mo Hua drew some formations, ate some food, and then began to think about the next plan.

 First of all, I have learned the method of wielding a sword with my spiritual consciousness.

 Although I only studied it for one day, I probably understand the key points.

 Just practice more in the future to improve your proficiency in sword handling.

There may be a more profound method of "sacred sword control", but that is too far away and I can't use it at the moment.

 The "Sword Control Technique" for breaking the golden gate can be used as it is for now.

 The next most important thing is to make the sword.

As Situ said, although the sword he wields with his spiritual consciousness is fast and far, it is indeed a waste of resources to kill without the sword energy.

But Mo Hua knew it well, and he estimated that he would never be able to develop any skills in sword energy in this life.

So we can only use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use "sword formation" to replace "sword energy"...

It was Xun's break again, and Mo Hua did not go to the Demon Refining Mountain. Instead, he made an appointment with Master Gu to have tea in a small living room of Gu's house.

 The living room is sophisticated and elegant, and is equipped with a soundproof array.

 This is a well-established rule in the family.

 In the small living room where guests receive guests, a soundproof array is set up to protect the privacy of guests and prevent others from snooping.

Mo Hua and Master Gu were chatting in the small living room.

 He explained his purpose to Master Gu simply and clearly.

 Master Gu was startled when he heard this, "Forging a spiritual sword?!"

“Hmm.” Mo Hua nodded, “I want to try to forge some spirit swords first, gold spirit swords with cheaper materials…”

 Because my "sword" is quite special, I use the sword array to explode and kill, basically using one to waste.

If the cost is too high, I am afraid that I will lose all my money.

“…The shape is simpler, and like the Five Elements Source Armor, it also needs to be open source, the formation cannot be sealed inside, and there must be an external interface…”

Mo Hua added one by one.

Master Gu's brows knitted together, he shook his head and said:

“To be fair, young master, the Gu family is not a family of swordsmen. We at the Gushan Weapon Refining Shop have never made serious spiritual swords. The occasional orders we receive are all ordinary swords from the bad street, which cannot be put on the market..."

“This kind of sword is said to be a 'sword', but there is no essential difference from a sword, a gun or a club. It only has the shape of a sword, but does not have the essence of a spiritual sword.”

 “The most important thing is that there is no inner sword formation...”

"As for the sword formation..." Mo Hua just started to speak, but suddenly his heart sank, and he immediately realized a serious problem.

 You cannot tell Master Gu about the Broken Golden Sword Formation.

 This sword array comes from the Broken Golden Gate.

It is impossible for any sect to leak the core sword array, let alone the small Broken Golden Sect.

 I learned it secretly on my own, so it's nothing.

 After all, formation matters are profound and obscure. If you know some things, others may not be able to understand them if you tell them, let alone believe them.

 But if Master Gu and the others were to refine it, they would be in big trouble.

Once Duanjinmen finds out, Master Gu, a third-grade weapon refiner, and the entire Gushan weapon refiner will probably be implicated.

 So we cannot let Master Gu and the others do the sword forging.

Mo Hua's mind changed rapidly, he thought for a moment and then said:

“...The sword formation is indeed more troublesome. If the sect doesn't teach it, I won't be able to get a real sword formation inheritance for a while..."

“So let's forget about the sword formation first. Master Gu, just make some simple spiritual swords for me. Just use them as a 'formation matchmaker', using the sword as the shape and the weapon as the matchmaker...”

Master Gu did not doubt his presence, nodded slowly and said:

“Okay, just follow the instructions, young master. I'll go back and give it a try.”

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded.

After Master Gu returned, he spent about half a month to initially refine a few spirit swords according to Mo Hua's requirements.

These are just ordinary spiritual swords.

As Master Gu said, it just looks like a "sword" and is not much different from spiritual weapons such as knives and sticks.

 Furthermore, the internal structure has been open sourced for formations, and is essentially a general formation medium.

But it is enough to test the power of the "sword".

Mo Hua took the time to draw the Broken Golden Sword Formation inside these spiritual swords.

Different from the sword formation used to forge the Broken Gold Gate sword, the Broken Gold Sword Formation drawn in the sword by Mo Hua is a self-sufficient complex formation system that circulates spiritual power.

 In the ordinary broken gold sword formation, the monks provide spiritual power to increase the sword energy.

As for the Broken Gold Sword Formation that Mo Hua has now modified, the pattern of the sword formation has been changed, and a separate Spirit Gathering Formation has been added as the center of the sword formation.

 The spirit gathering array will be "charged with spirit" in advance to provide spiritual power for the spirit sword. The spiritual energy will deform through the sword array and be transformed into the sharp gold-breaking sword energy.

In this way, with the help of spiritual stones to provide spiritual power, you don't have to rely on your own spiritual power.

Mo Hua's spiritual power is weak, and he can't afford powerful sword skills.

 After drawing the formation, the ink painting seals the spirit sword.

 At the end of the tenth day, he went to the Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua found a secluded place, let go of his consciousness, made sure there was no one around and there were no monsters, and then he started practicing his sword.

 He first drew a turtle on a big stone.

This turtle is the target.

Then Mo Hua began to move away, until he was one hundred and seventy feet away. He sat cross-legged on the spot, took out the spirit sword, and placed it in front of him.

Mo Hua held his breath and concentrated, silently practicing the sword-controlling method in the Broken Gold Sword Control Technique, controlling the spiritual sword with his spiritual consciousness, and then locked on the turtle on the big stone in the distance.

With a thought, the spiritual sword flashed.

 A golden light flew out instantly.

Then there was a "bang" in the distance, the rocks shattered, and debris flew.

Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly, he stood up immediately and ran forward.

 The spirit sword accurately hit the turtle.

At the moment of the hit, the formation was activated. The spiritual power accumulated in the Spirit Gathering Formation activated the Broken Gold Sword Formation and transformed into sharp sword energy, crushing the rocks.

 There are already spider web-like cracks on the big stone.

 The turtle was also cut into powder.

And the Spiritual Sword withstood the sword energy generated by the Broken Gold Sword Formation. It was covered with cracks and was scrapped at the same time.

Mo Hua frowned.

The power is not weak, but it is not as strong as I thought.

 First of all, the deformation of the sword formation is still relatively superficial.

 After all, his use of the Broken Gold Sword Formation is completely different from its original purpose, not to mention completely different.

 The transformation of the sword formation used for "amplification" into the sword formation used for "explosive killing" does not happen overnight.

  Secondly, the sword formation and the spiritual sword are not compatible enough.

 The spiritual sword cannot fully carry the flow of the sword formation, and the sword formation cannot fully guide the killing energy of the spiritual sword.

 Finally, the quality of the spirit sword itself is too low.

  It is a cheap spirit sword after all, so the power cannot be too high.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

 There is killing power, but it is far from enough, at least not as much as I expected.

  You can figure out a way to solve the sword formation issue yourself.

According to the principles of the formation, just optimize the formation hub step by step, modify the formation pattern, and stimulate the power of the sword formation.

 But forging a sword is not easy.

If you want to improve the quality of the spiritual sword and the fit between the spiritual sword and the sword formation, ordinary weapon refiners are not enough. It is best to find a professional "swordsmith" who is proficient in sword refining.

Master Gu is not suitable.

 Because although Master Gu is a third-grade weapon refiner, he has no backing in the Gu family. You cannot tell him some confidential matters, otherwise he will be dragged into trouble.

What's more, Master Gu's family has a big business, and the huge Gushan Weapon Refining Business depends on him for food.

 Can't harm him.

 It is best to be a disciple of a well-known family and have some background.

 Being from the same sect as myself makes communication easier and making swords easier.

 Be someone you can trust.

 The level of sword making should be high.

 This is related to the power of one's own "divine consciousness sword control"!

 The control of swords with divine consciousness is the basis for understanding the "sword intention".

 So, this is also related to yourself, whether you can understand the meaning of the sword, and then further understand the true secret of the sword transformed by spiritual thoughts...

 After Mo Hua returned to the sect, he began to look for candidates. It's just that he glanced around and found no suitable Taixu Sect disciple who could be his "swordsmith".

 Taixumen is not good at swordsmanship after all.

 There are very few inheritances of the sword-making method.

 There are some disciples in the sect who are good at refining weapons, but not many are good at forging swords.

Even if you can make a sword, you are not proficient in it.

 This matter cannot be rushed.

Mo Hua had no choice but to ask Master Gu to refine some ordinary "spiritual swords" and make do with them.

Mo Hua also used these spiritual swords to continuously practice the skills of sword control.

At the same time, adjust the sword formation little by little to enhance the intensity of spiritual transformation and increase the power of the Broken Gold Sword Formation.

 But after practicing ink painting for a while, I discovered a very serious problem.

 Learning swordsmanship by yourself is a total loss!

Every time you practice sword control, the sword formation is activated, the sword energy explodes, and the spiritual sword is destroyed.

 Although this ordinary spiritual sword is not expensive, no matter how cheap it is, it is still a spiritual sword.

 The cost of a spiritual sword is at least several hundred spiritual stones.

I am just a casual cultivator with no family support. Although I am still relatively wealthy in Lingshi, if I continue to practice like this, I will be in vain and I will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Even if you don't go bankrupt yourself.

That was also when Master Gu, who forged swords for himself but was too embarrassed to ask for spiritual stones from himself, went bankrupt.

 No matter who goes bankrupt, it is not a good thing.

"no!"

 This is not in line with your own code of conduct.

Mo Hua looked serious, "I have to find a way to practice sword-wielding and return to my roots at the same time..."

This is the Demon Refining Mountain. The only way to practice sword-wielding and return to one's roots is naturally to hunt monsters.

 Mo Hua walked around the mountain and found helplessly that his sword seemed to be of no use.

Now this sword is not powerful enough to kill monsters, and it is not as useful as the formation.

 It is used for last-hitting, but it seems redundant.

 Using spells to repair damage is also repairing, and using fists and feet to repair damage is also repairing. There is no need to waste a spiritual sword and use a sword to repair damage.

Mo Hua has been thinking hard for a long time, but there is no good solution.

Suddenly there was a neighing sound in the sky. Mo Hua was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw a colorful demon bird flying over the horizon.

Mo Hua was slightly startled, but suddenly realized something.

 If you don't need it to kill the monsters crawling on the ground, then use it to kill the ones flying in the sky!

 The monsters on the ground are generally rough-skinned, thick-flesh, and strong-blooded.

However, the birds and monsters that fly in the sky are uniquely blessed to fly in the sky with their feathered wings. Compared with the monsters and beasts on the ground, they are not only smaller in size, but also have much weaker vitality.

 Just in time to practice sword-wielding for yourself.

As for the bird monsters flying in the sky, they are more difficult to catch and hunt than ordinary monsters.

 Hence, the materials of bird monsters are much more valuable than ordinary monsters.

Mo Hua looked up at the sky, and sure enough he saw several harpies with brown beaks and hooked claws, flying proudly in the sky.

Mo Hua smiled slightly.

 After returning to the clan, Mo Hua made some preparations and asked Master Gu to refine a few more spirit swords.

 Inside the spirit sword, there is still a Broken Gold Sword Formation drawn.

But in addition to the Broken Gold Sword Formation, Mo Hua also set up some flame formations.

The edge of the sword was also rubbed with the poisonous blood of the monster in ink.

 After preparations were completed, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain again.

He found a hidden hilltop, sat cross-legged, placed the spiritual sword in front of him, then let go of his consciousness and scanned the birds and monsters in the sky.

 The sky is blue and the white clouds are like horses.

 Ink painting of sitting upright with eyes closed.

 Occasionally, poisonous harpies flew by, but he ignored them.

 Until a gray-bald hawk soared overhead.

Mo Hua then had a thought and opened his eyes, revealing a bright light.

Goshawk!

The first level of the second level is a falcon-like monster with red wings and gray feathers on its head. It can fly into the sky. Its mouth is as hard as stone and its hooks and claws are like iron. It has a ferocious nature. The food monster can also eat people.

This is a carefully selected bird and monster in the ink painting, used to test the sword.

There are many birds and monsters in the sky, but not all of them can be killed.

 Some feathers are so hard that the sword energy may not be able to break them;

 Some go in groups, and if you kill one, you will be chased by a group;

 Some are too strong and cannot be provoked;

 Some are cunning, suspicious, and have keen perceptions...

 Comparatively, the goshawk is the easiest to kill.

Although this kind of hawk has strong inner demonic power, other than that, its fur defense and demonic awareness are quite average.

They also don't have the habit of gathering in groups, so they are the best to start with.

The ink painting circulates the sword control technique, and the divine consciousness controls the sword. At the same time, the divine thought is released, firmly locking the goshawk in the sky.

 When it goes down to hunt, it is less than 150 feet away from the ground.

Mo Hua's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

 A golden light shot out of the sky.

This golden light flew extremely fast, flying through the air, its light and shadow were like silk threads, and in just a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the goshawk.

The goshawk was in danger and screamed desperately, but it was already too late.

The golden sword stabbed the goshawk's body, instantly activating the formation. The internal Broken Golden Sword Formation turned into sword energy, crushing half of the goshawk's wings. The flame formation burned its feathers, and the sky A burst of blood mist burst out.

The goshawk plummeted down like a kite with its string broken.

Mo Hua used Water Step, and with a few dodgers, he arrived at the place where the goshawk landed.

The goshawk is not dead, its ferocious eyes are staring at the ink painting, and it wants to peck the eyeballs of the ink painting and swallow the flesh and blood of the ink painting.

 But a goshawk that lands on the ground is not as good as a chicken.

　　Its wings were cut off by the sword energy and it could not fly. Its fate was already doomed.

Mo Hua spent a lot of effort, using formations and spells at the same time, and finally killed the goshawk.

 Then with some difficulty, he peeled off the eagle demon's feathers, picked out its flesh and bones, and took out its demon elixir.

 Ink painting is not a physical practice, it is not strong enough, it is not done neatly enough, and it wastes some time.

 But it took half an hour to finally peel it off.

Just when peeling the eagle, Mo Hua always felt that the demonic power and aura of the eagle was somewhat familiar.

 But it shouldn't be…

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

 He clearly remembered that this was the first time he had hunted such an eagle-like monster.

 Why does it look familiar?

Mo Hua thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. It was getting late, so he temporarily put aside his doubts and went down the mountain.

 At the mountain gate, Mo Hua sold the goshawk.

Because the goshawk is slightly smaller and has less materials, and the sword formation drawn in ink also chopped up a lot of feathers, it is not expensive to sell.

 But even so, it was worth a thousand meritorious deeds.

 Deducting the cost of the spirit sword, you can earn hundreds of merits.

Mo Hua is very happy.

If you practice sword-wielding like this in the future, not only will you not lose money, but you will also earn a lot of merit!

Mo Hua returned to the sect with a full load.

Since then, Mo Hua has lived a stable life.

 Practice, take classes, and learn formations on weekdays.

During the ten days off, he would go to the Demon Refining Mountain to practice swordsmanship, kill eagles, and earn merit.

The days are extremely fulfilling and very "rich".

He has accumulated more and more meritorious deeds.

 At the Demon Refining Mountain, everything was calm.

 At present, a large area of ​​land outside the Demon Refining Mountain is occupied by Taixu Sect disciples.

Monster Refining Mountain is dangerous, and hunting monsters is even more dangerous.

 This is especially true for sect disciples who have no experience in hunting monsters.

 So novices generally won't rush into the mountains to hunt monsters.

During this period of time, most of the disciples from other sects of the same generation are still practicing. After their cultivation is solid, they will go into the mountains to hunt monsters one after another.

Taixumen is an exception.

 In other words, this year's Taixu Sect is an exception.

Because of the little senior brother Mo Hua, most disciples of Taixu Sect have adapted to life in Demon Refining Mountain earlier.

And they were on a first-come, first-served basis and occupied a large area.

I don't know why I entered the mountain very early.

 But in the battle with Taixu Gate, they lost, so they had to avoid Taixu Gate and find another place to hunt monsters.

 Other sect disciples also entered the mountain in advance.

 But there are not many of them, only five or six people. They are just familiar with the situation of Demon Refining Mountain.

Then they saw the Taixu Sect, with many disciples, one team after another, organized, disciplined, with unified spiritual weapons, and standardized demon hunting procedures, and they had begun to hunt "militarily".

They knew this scene with just one glance.

Taixu Sect, at least the disciples of this generation, cannot afford to offend them for the time being, so they can only avoid...

 Therefore, there are disputes in other places.

But in the few outer hills occupied by Taixu Sect, everyone is from the same sect and has the same junior brother, so they are very harmonious.

 In this way, some time passed and it was already the second half of the year.

 The number of disciples outside the Demon Refining Mountain suddenly increased.

 Many sect disciples, after more than half a year of settling down, have become more solid in their cultivation, and have begun to go into the mountains to try to hunt monsters.

 Including those who were once in the same spirit with Taixu Sect, disciples of Tai'amen and Chongxu Sect…
