Asking about longevity

Chapter 742 Sword Trial (Additional chapter for the leader Xuan Chou~)

Practice for fun...

"Okay."

Situ Jian looked at Mo Hua with a pair of sparkling eyes and felt helpless.

After that, Mo Hua began to practice flying the sword, and Situ Jian gave instructions and was responsible for "picking up the sword" for Mo Hua.

Although Situ Jian had not yet learned to fly the sword, he was born in a family of swordsmanship and had been exposed to many swordsmanship techniques since he was a child. Even if he had not learned them, he had seen most of them and knew much more than Mo Hua.

With him watching and giving a little guidance, Mo Hua would not learn the wrong way.

And under Situ Jian's guidance, Mo Hua's flying sword made rapid progress.

Because he omitted the important stages of accumulating sword energy and integrating sword energy with sword, it was simply "flying the sword with spiritual consciousness", which was not difficult.

For Mo Hua, who had attained enlightenment with spiritual consciousness, it was even relatively simple.

The more Situ Jian watched, the more frightened he became, but at the same time, the more regretful he felt.

"The little brother's spiritual power to control the sword is really too fast and too far, but the power... is really horrible..."

It can't be said that there is not a little bit of it.

There is a little bit.

However, this little power comes from the "force" of the spiritual power to control the object, just like a hidden weapon thrown with bare hands, which is not very useful.

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

The sword itself is not sharp and is rusty.

Situ Jian shook his head.

However, he still fulfilled his duties and helped Mo Hua practice "controlling the sword" for a day, until Mo Hua practiced it very well, and then the two returned to the sect.

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

Among fellow disciples, it is still very face-saving to be invited to dinner by the little brother.

Situ Jian was also very happy to eat.

After the two of them had eaten their fill, they returned to their respective residences.

After returning to the residence, Mo Hua drew a formation, digested his food, and began to think about the next plan.

First of all, he had already learned the method of controlling the sword with his spiritual consciousness.

Although he had only learned it for one day, he had roughly understood the key points.

After that, he would practice more to improve his proficiency in controlling the sword.

Perhaps there was a more advanced method of "controlling the sword with spiritual consciousness", but that was too far away and he could not use it at present.

For now, he could just use Duan Jinmen's "controlling the sword".

Next, the most important thing was to forge the sword.

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

But Mo Hua knew very well that he estimated that he would never be able to cultivate any skills in sword energy in his lifetime.

So he could only play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, using "sword formation" to replace "sword energy"...

...

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

The living room was exquisite and elegant, and there was a soundproof formation.

This was a customary rule of the family.

The small living room for receiving guests was equipped with a soundproof formation to protect the privacy of the guests and prevent others from eavesdropping.

Mo Hua and Master Gu chatted in the small living room.

He explained his purpose to Master Gu in a simple and clear manner.

Master Gu was stunned when he heard this, "Forge a spirit sword?!"

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "I want to try to forge some spirit swords first, gold spirit swords, with cheaper materials..."

Because his "controlling sword" is quite special, he uses the sword formation to burst out to kill, and basically uses one sword and wastes one sword.

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

"... simpler in form, and like the Five Elements Source Armor, it must also be open source, the formation cannot be sealed inside, and an external interface must be left..."

Mo Hua added one by one.

Master Gu frowned and shook his head:

"To be honest, young master, the Gu family is not a family of swordsmanship. Our Gushan weapon refining business has never refined a proper spiritual sword. The occasional orders we receive are all ordinary swords that are not up to standard..."

"This kind of sword is called a 'sword', but there is no essential difference between it and a knife, a gun, a stick, and a club. It only has the shape of a sword, but not the essence of a spiritual sword."

"The most important thing is that there is no internal sword formation..."

"As for the sword formation..." Mo Hua just opened his mouth, and suddenly his heart sank, and he immediately realized a serious problem.

Master Gu must not be told about the Broken Gold Sword Formation.

This sword formation was obtained from the Broken Gold Sect.

No sect would allow the core sword formation to leak out, let alone the narrow-minded Broken Gold Sect.

It's okay to learn it secretly.

After all, the matter of formation is profound and obscure. Some things you know, others may not understand them, let alone believe them.

But if Master Gu and his team were to refine it, it would be a big trouble.

Once Duan Jinmen knew about it, Master Gu, a third-grade weapon refiner, and the entire Gushan weapon refinery would probably be implicated.

So Master Gu and his team couldn't be allowed to do the sword forging.

Mo Hua's mind turned quickly, and after a little thought, he said:

"...Sword formation is indeed more troublesome. The sect does not teach it, and I can't get the real sword formation inheritance for a while..."

"So forget about the sword formation. Master Gu, you can refine some simple spiritual swords for me, and use them as 'formation media'. Use swords as the form and tools as the medium..."

Master Gu did not doubt him, and nodded slowly:

"Okay, I'll do it, young master. I'll go back and try it."

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.

After Master Gu went back, he spent about half a month and initially refined several spiritual swords according to Mo Hua's requirements.

These are just ordinary spiritual swords.

As Master Gu said, they just look like "swords", and there is not much difference from spiritual tools such as knives and sticks.

Moreover, the internal structure has been made into an open source formation, and is essentially a general formation medium.

However, it is enough to test the power of "flying swords".

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

Unlike the sword formation used by the Broken Gold Sect to forge swords, the Broken Gold Sword Formation that Mo Hua drew in the sword is a complex formation system with spiritual power circulation and self-sufficiency.

In the ordinary Broken Gold Sword Formation, the cultivators supply spiritual power to amplify the sword energy.

The Broken Gold Sword Formation that Mo Hua has modified now has changed the sword formation pattern and added a separate gathering spirit formation as the formation eye of the sword formation.

The gathering spirit formation will "charge the spirit" in advance to provide spiritual power for the spirit sword. The spiritual power will be deformed through the sword formation and transformed into sharp Broken Gold Sword Energy.

In this way, with the help of spirit stones, spiritual power can be supplied without relying on one's own spiritual power.

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

After drawing the formation, Mo Hua sealed the spirit sword.

When he reached the ten-day break, he went to the Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua found a secluded place, released his spiritual sense, confirmed that there was no one around, and there were no monsters, and began to practice swordsmanship.

He first drew a turtle on a big stone.

This turtle is the target.

Then Mo Hua began to move away, retreating to a distance of 170 feet, sitting cross-legged on the spot, taking out the spirit sword and placing it in front of him.

Mo Hua held his breath and concentrated his mind, silently practicing the sword-controlling method in the Broken Gold Sword Controlling Technique, controlling the spirit sword with his spiritual consciousness, and then locking onto the turtle on the big rock in the distance.

With a thought, the spirit sword flashed.

A golden light flew out in an instant.

Then there was a "boom" in the distance, the rocks shattered, and stone chips flew everywhere.

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

The spirit sword hit the turtle accurately.

At the moment of hitting, the formation was activated, and the spiritual power accumulated in the spirit gathering formation activated the Broken Gold Sword Formation, transformed into sharp sword energy, and crushed the rocks.

There were already spider-web-like cracks on the big rock.

The turtle was also cut into powder.

The spirit sword was covered with cracks after the explosion of the Broken Gold Sword Formation, and was also scrapped.

Mo Hua frowned.

The power was not weak, but it was not as strong as he thought.

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

After all, his use of the Broken Gold Sword Formation was very different from the original purpose of the sword formation.

It took a long time to transform the sword formation used for "amplification" into the sword formation used for "explosive killing".

Secondly, the sword formation and the spirit sword were not compatible enough.

The spirit sword could not fully carry the flow of the sword formation, and the sword formation could not fully guide the killing spirit of the spirit sword.

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

After all, it was a cheap spirit sword, and the power could not be too high.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

It had killing power, but it was far from enough, at least it did not meet his expectations.

I can find a way to solve the problem of the sword formation.

According to the array theory, we can optimize the array hub step by step, modify the array pattern, and stimulate the power of the sword array.

But forging the sword is not easy.

If you want to improve the quality of the spirit sword and the fit between the spirit sword and the sword array, ordinary weapon refiners are not enough. It is best to find a professional "sword forger" 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. Some confidential matters cannot be told to him, otherwise he will be involved.

What's more, Master Gu's family is big and the huge Gushan weapon refinery depends on him for food.

Can't harm him.

It is best to be a disciple of aristocratic family with some background.

From the same sect as yourself, so that communication is convenient and sword forging is also convenient.

You must be someone you can trust.

The level of sword forging must be high.

This is related to the power of your "spiritual consciousness sword control"!

And spiritual consciousness sword control is the basis for understanding "sword intent".

Therefore, this also concerns whether he can comprehend the sword meaning, and further comprehend the true secret of transforming the mind into a sword...

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua began to look for candidates.

However, after a quick look, he did not find a suitable Taixu Sect disciple who could be his "sword forger".

After all, Taixu Sect is not known for its swordsmanship.

There are also very few people who have inherited the sword-making method.

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

Even if they can forge swords, they are not proficient.

There is no rush for this matter.

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 practice the method of flying swords.

At the same time, he adjusted the sword formation little by little, strengthened the strength of spiritual power deformation, and increased the power of the Broken Gold Sword Formation.

But after practicing for a while, Mo Hua found a very serious problem.

Practicing swords by yourself is a complete loss!

Every time you practice flying swords, the sword formation is stimulated, the sword energy bursts out, and the spiritual sword is destroyed.

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

The cost of a spiritual sword is at least hundreds of spiritual stones.

I am just a casual cultivator without the support of my family. Although I am still rich in spiritual stones now, if I continue to practice like this, I will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Even if I am not bankrupt.

That was Master Gu, who forged the sword for me but was too embarrassed to ask me for spirit stones, going bankrupt.

It was not a good thing for anyone to go bankrupt.

"No!"

This was not in line with his code of conduct.

Mo Hua looked serious, "I have to find a way to practice flying the sword and get some money back..."

This was the Demon Refining Mountain. The only way to practice flying the sword and get some money back was to hunt monsters.

Mo Hua walked around the mountain and found helplessly that his flying sword seemed to be useless.

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

It seemed redundant to use it to make up for the damage.

It was also a good idea to use magic to make up for it, and it was also a good idea to use fists and feet to make up for it. There was no need to waste a spirit sword and use flying sword to make up for the damage.

Mo Hua thought hard for a long time, but there was no good way.

Suddenly there was a scream in the sky. Mo Hua was stunned. He looked up and saw a colorful monster bird flying across the sky.

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, and suddenly he suddenly realized.

If it can't be used to kill the monsters crawling on the ground, then use it to kill the flying ones in the sky!

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

However, the flying bird monsters are blessed by nature. They fly in the sky with wings. Compared with the monsters on the ground, they are not only smaller in size, but also much weaker in blood.

It's just right for me to practice flying swords.

And bird monsters flying in the sky are more difficult to capture and hunt than ordinary monsters.

Therefore, the materials of flying bird monsters are also much more expensive than ordinary monsters.

Mo Hua looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw several eagle-beaked and hooked clawed brown bird monsters flying proudly in the sky.

Mo Hua smiled slightly.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua prepared for a while and asked Master Gu to refine a few more spirit swords.

Inside the spirit sword, the Broken Gold Sword Formation was still drawn.

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

And the edge of the sword was rubbed with the poisonous blood of the monster by Mo Hua.

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

He found a hidden hilltop, sat cross-legged, placed the spirit sword in front of him, and then released his spiritual sense to scan the flying birds and monsters in the sky.

The sky was blue, and the white clouds were like horses.

Mo Hua sat with his eyes closed.

Occasionally, poisonous birds and monsters flew by, but he ignored them.

Until a gray bald eagle flew over his head.

Mo Hua's spiritual mind moved, opened his eyes, and his eyes revealed a bright light.

Grey-headed eagle!

Second-grade initial stage, eagle-like monster, with red feathers and wings, grey feathers on the head, can fly, mouth as hard as stone, hooked claws like iron, cruel nature, eat monsters and people.

This is the flying monster carefully selected by Mo Hua to test the sword.

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

Some have hard feathers, and sword energy may not be able to break them;

Some live in groups, and if you kill one, you will be chased by the group;

Some are too powerful and cannot be provoked;

Others are cunning and suspicious, and have sharp perceptions...

In comparison, the eagle is the easiest to kill.

This kind of eagle has strong internal demonic power, but other than that, its fur defense and demonic perception are all average.

It also has no habit of living in groups, so it is the easiest to kill.

Mo Hua uses the sword control technique, controls the sword with his spiritual consciousness, and at the same time releases his spiritual thoughts, firmly locking onto the eagle in the sky.

When it descends to hunt, it is less than 150 feet from the ground.

Mo Hua's eyes flash with murderous intent.

A golden light breaks through the air.

This golden light is extremely fast, flying through the air, and the light and shadow are like silk, but in a blink of an eye, it is in front of the eagle.

The eagle is in great danger, and screams desperately, but it is too late.

The golden sword pierced the body of the eagle, instantly activating the formation. The inner Broken Gold Sword Formation produced sword energy, which shredded half of the eagle's wings. The flame formation burned its feathers, and a blood mist exploded in the air.

The eagle fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

Mo Hua performed the Water Step, and after a few flashes, he arrived at the place where the eagle landed.

The eagle was not dead, and its ferocious eyes stared at Mo Hua, wishing to peck Mo Hua's eyeballs and swallow Mo Hua's flesh and blood.

But the eagle that landed was no better than a chicken.

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

Mo Hua took some effort, using formations and spells, and finally killed the eagle.

Then he peeled the feathers of the eagle monster with some effort, picked its meat and bones, and took its demon pill.

Mo Hua was not a physical cultivator, so he was not strong enough, and he was not smooth enough, wasting some time.

But it took less than half an hour to finally finish peeling.

But when peeling the eagle, Mo Hua always felt that the demon power and breath of the eagle were a little familiar.

But it shouldn't be...

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

He clearly remembered that this was his first time hunting this kind of eagle monster.

Why did it look familiar?

Mo Hua thought about it 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.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, Mo Hua sold the eagle.

Because the eagle was slightly smaller and had less materials, and Mo Hua's sword formation also crushed a lot of feathers, it was not expensive.

But even so, it was exchanged for a full thousand merits.

After deducting the cost of the spirit sword, it can also earn hundreds of merits.

Mo Hua was very happy.

If he practiced sword flying like this in the future, he would not only not lose money, but also earn a lot of merits!

Mo Hua returned to the sect with a full load.

After that, Mo Hua lived a stable life.

On weekdays, he practiced, attended classes, and learned formations.

During the ten-day break, he went to the Demon Refining Mountain to practice swords, kill eagles, and earn merits.

His life was extremely fulfilling and very "rich".

He accumulated more and more merits.

And the Demon Refining Mountain was peaceful.

Nowadays, a large area of ​​the outer mountain of the Demon Refining Mountain was occupied by the disciples of Taixu Sect.

The Demon Refining Mountain was dangerous, and hunting monsters was even more dangerous.

This was especially true for the disciples of the sect who had no experience in hunting monsters.

So novices generally would not rashly go into the mountain to hunt monsters.

During this period of time, most of the disciples of the same class from other sects were still practicing, and they would go into the mountain to hunt monsters after their cultivation was solid.

Taixu Sect was an exception.

Or rather, this class of Taixu Sect was an exception.

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

And they were first come first served, occupying a large good place.

For some reason, Duanjin Sect also entered the mountain early.

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

Disciples of other sects also entered the mountain early.

But they were not many, only five or six people, just to familiarize themselves with the situation in the Demon Refining Mountain.

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

They knew what was going on after just one look at this scene.

Taixu Sect, at least the disciples of this generation of Taixu Sect, could not be provoked for the time being, so they could only avoid them...

Therefore, there were disputes in other places.

But in the several outer mountains occupied by Taixu Sect, everyone was from the same sect and had the same junior brother, which was very harmonious.

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

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

After more than half a year of precipitation, many sect disciples had a more solid cultivation, and began to enter the mountain one after another to try to hunt demons.

Among them were the disciples of Tai'a Sect and Chongxu Sect, who were once of the same blood with Taixu Sect...
