Chapter 94: High Truth
Toujian Mountain is an extremely high mountain with steep terrain. There are no tall trees on the mountain, and what can be seen everywhere is a grass called Dragon-Snake, also known as Sword Grass.
The roots of Sword Grass can be used to soak wine, which is said to increase the strength of the wine. Cheng Xinzhan prepared to pull some when he left and add them to the white knives that were already strong to try. If the effect is good, he can also plant a piece in front of Wuyou Cave.
The wind on Toujian Mountain is dry and sharp, making people's faces hurt. Cheng Xinzhan narrowed his eyes, rode a cloud, and landed on the ferry.
He was very familiar with Toujian Mountain and had been here many times, so he didn't have to ask around like going to Shuji Mountain. He went directly to the sword library.
The sword library is a very large mountain cave. The one guarding the cave gate is an elder of Toujian Mountain, with white hair and beard, currently lying on a large reclining chair. This is a third-realm great cultivator with a high status in Toujian Mountain and is one of the few elders who often interacts with low-level disciples.
"Elder Jingsi."
Cheng Xinzhan walked up and bowed.
Although they had met a few times, he didn't expect Elder Jingsi to still remember him, and he smiled and said,
"It's Yunqi. Are you going in to see it yourself this time?"
Elder Jingsi's impression of Yunqi came from two things: one was a registered disciple of Mingzhi Mountain, and the other was that he had been to the sword library several times, all just looking and not buying.
He also smiled and replied, "Elder, I have opened my mansion now and am a true disciple of Mingzhi Mountain, with the Daoist name Xinzhan. This time it's not just looking, it's buying."
As he said, he took out the elixir bottle, held it with both hands and handed it to Jingsi, saying, "Elder, this is what Master asked me to give you, a Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir, to exchange for a magic sword for me."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Xinzhan didn't see clearly, Elder Jingsi suddenly disappeared from the reclining chair and appeared in front of him, looking at the elixir bottle.
"Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir?"
Elder Jingsi had always been gentle and unhurried, as if he could smile and watch even if the sky fell, but this was the first time Cheng Xinzhan saw him lose his composure.
He handed the elixir bottle forward again, "It is the Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir."
Elder Jingsi's outstretched hand was still a bit shaky, and he slowly pinched the elixir bottle,
"This time I owe Mountain Master Wen a big favor."
Elder Jingsi said, clutching the elixir bottle tightly.
"It is Toujian Mountain that owes Mountain Master Wen a big favor."
A sword light flashed, and suddenly there was another person beside Elder Jingsi, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
He stood there with his hands behind his back, wearing black robes, with a very ordinary appearance, with no special features, neither tall nor short, neither ugly nor handsome, belonging to the kind of person you wouldn't notice if you met on the street in the world.
If you have to say one special feature, it is that his back is very straight, as straight as a pine and bamboo.
"Mountain Master."
Elder Jingsi was not surprised by the man's appearance and nodded slightly to greet him.
He is called Ying Jingsong, the Mountain Master of Toujian Mountain.
Cheng Xinzhan heard Elder Jingsi's words and hurriedly bowed to the man,
"Cheng Xinzhan of Mingzhi Mountain, see Mountain Master Ying, Mountain Master has immeasurable life."
The man smiled kindly at Cheng Xinzhan, "Xinzhan has immeasurable view. Since Xinzhan loves swords, you can come to my Toujian Mountain more often in the future. Each branch of the mountain gate is connected by the same spirit, don't have any restraints."
Cheng Xinzhan agreed.
He looked at Cheng Xinzhan, as if he saw through everything at a glance, and said,
"Xinzhan is young, but he has already obtained the true transmission of the Mingzhi Mountain legal lineage. It is really not simple. No wonder Mountain Master Wen values him so much. In the future, you can discuss and learn from the juniors of my Toujian Mountain."
"Mountain Master Ying is too modest."
Cheng Xinzhan felt that this Mountain Master should not be deliberately investigating, just a casual glance, and accidentally saw through his bamboo body, but he didn't know why this Mountain Master Ying suddenly appeared?
"Xinzhan, after you take the sword, please tell Mountain Master Wen when you go back, saying that Toujian Mountain accepts her favor."
Cheng Xinzhan agreed.
The man smiled and nodded, nodded to Elder Jingsi again, and then disappeared into sword light again.
This Mountain Master Ying appeared specifically to let me bring a word back?
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised, and had a clearer understanding of the value of that Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir.
Elder Jingsi put away the elixir bottle and let Cheng Xinzhan follow him into the sword library.
The sword library is very large, a huge cylindrical empty cave. The side wall of the whole circle of the empty cave is dug with many small holes, some half a person high, some two people high. Looking from a distance, it is dense, like a honeycomb, like an ant cave.
These holes are all filled with fluorescent stones, illuminating the holes. Some have swords inserted straight into them, some have swords covered with silk, some holes only see a sword box, and some sword lights in the holes are more dazzling than fluorescent stones, and you can't see what the swords look like at all.
On the side wall of the cave, rows of spiraling upward walkways are built. These walkways are made of wooden boards inserted directly into the stone wall.
Elder Jingsi took Cheng Xinzhan up the walkway, and the sword light in the sword hole beside him shone on him, reflecting his face in colorful colors.
"This Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir is of great use to me."
Elder Jingsi walked in front and said leisurely.
"My Golden Core has been washed six times, but I still can't conceive a Dao fetus. This third realm has trapped me for nearly two hundred years. When the Golden Core was first washed, I was full of ambition and determined to be a nine-wash person. When I was washed three times, I was still full of ambition, but I thought that six washes should be enough. When I was washed five times, I felt a bit anxious in my heart, and I almost didn't survive the washing elixir robbery. When I was washed six times, my heart was full of anxiety and panic. After the thunder robbery passed, I still didn't conceive a Dao fetus, and I was almost dead. I cursed the sky for why I had to wash the elixir six times but didn't pass, while some with unstable foundations were five-washed and formed."
"My seventh washing elixir robbery should be in forty years, but the lifespan of this body is only thirty years."
Elder Jingsi's steps were very steady, telling slowly,
"So I can't wait for the seventh washing elixir robbery, so the Golden Core cannot be further rounded, let alone conceive a Dao fetus, so when the thirty-year lifespan is exhausted, I will surely die."
Cheng Xinzhan's heart was shocked. He didn't expect this elder to have reached the realm of six washes, and he didn't expect that he couldn't see his seventh elixir robbery because of his lifespan.
"But now with this Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir, I can take it before my lifespan is exhausted, enter fake death, lock the vitality, which can not only extend life, but also isolate the breath, avoid the perception of thunder robbery, and wait until the thirty-year medicine effect is over, the thunder robbery will find me again, but I have thirty years of preparation time, and I can successfully catch up with the seventh washing elixir!
"If I am lucky enough to pass the seventh washing elixir robbery, go further, if the Golden Core is rounded, and conceive a Dao fetus, that is to step into the fourth realm, which is a new world. Even if I still can't transform into an infant, but after the thunder robbery passes, I will increase my lifespan by half a century, and I will be able to continue to live and die. If I can't pass the seventh washing elixir robbery, it is also a relief for me, turning into flying ash and returning to heaven and earth."
Speaking of this, Elder Jingsi suddenly laughed, as if it were a desire for the fourth realm, and as if it were a helpless bitter smile.
"Such a Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir is not useful for you young people, but for an old thing like me who is lingering and dying, it is a life-saving treasure. "And according to what I know, since the death of the twenty-first generation Mountain Master of your Mingzhi Mountain, no one has been able to refine the Small Corpse-Dissolving Elixir, which means that this elixir is also used once less for your Mingzhi Mountain."
Cheng Xinzhan was a little stunned when he heard this. It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be so precious. No wonder that Mountain Master Ying had to come to thank him specifically. Such an elixir, such an elixir that can extend life and avoid robbery, no matter where it is placed, it is something that makes people flock to it. Even if it is in a state of fake death after taking it, as long as you are alive, there is hope, and there is a chance to change your life.
He was even more grateful to his master in his heart. Such an elixir, no one would think it is too much. Keeping it in his hand is really life-saving, and his master took this elixir out at this moment, not for anything else, but to exchange a magic sword for him.
"So I, and Toujian Mountain, must accept the favor of your Mingzhi Mountain, so the sword tool you want to pick today should naturally be the best sword tool in this sword library. The Mountain Master came over, which also explains this point."
Elder Jingsi said, and unknowingly, the two had walked to a high place.
"For a magic sword, you should choose a sword embryo best, forge it into shape with your own magic power, and then carve talisman patterns on it with your own hands, so that it will be most compatible with you, and you can be more handy when casting spells."
Cheng Xinzhan heard that there were unfinished sword embryos in the sword library, and he agreed with Elder Jingsi's statement very much. His body sword and flying sword were both ready-made things, and it was naturally best to refine this magic sword by himself.
Soon, the two came to the top floor, and the top floor of the mountain cave was very close.
And the sword tools here seemed to be alive, emitting various sounds and lights. If it weren't for the restrictions in the sword holes, these swords would have flown away immediately.
In his body, "Taodu" was also very active, patrolling everywhere. If he hadn't suppressed it, "Taodu" would have come out long ago to compete with these precious swords.
=9+Shu_ba
Finally, at the end of the walkway, Elder Jingsi stopped, and Cheng Xinzhan stopped with him.
"There are six sword embryos here, which are also the six best sword embryos in this sword library. Among the sword embryos, three are not suitable for refining into body swords, two are not suitable for refining into flying swords, and two are not suitable for refining into magic swords. You can choose for yourself, and I will tell you once first."
"Thank you, Elder."
Cheng Xinzhan thanked him.
First, Elder Jingsi pointed to the first sword hole on the left, and Cheng Xinzhan looked over.
This couldn't see the shape of the sword at all, it was just a group of starlight hanging there.
Elder Jingsi hit the starlight with a magic power, and heard a sword sound. The starlight dissipated, and then he saw the original shape. He could barely see the shape of the sword, more like an iron bar, black all over, and mixed with gold and blue spots.
"This is forged from a whole piece of heavenly flying iron, agile, tough, affinity with stars, integrated into the five elements, and can reside in acupoints. It can be refined into body swords, magic swords, and flying swords."
After speaking, he walked to the next one. This sword hole was even stranger. It was a small phoenix tree, half a person high, with yellow branches and green leaves, looking pleasing.
Elder Jingsi still hit it with magic power to reveal its original shape. It was a sword embryo with a yellow handle and a green blade, looking like wood, but the yellow and green parts were a whole, naturally divided into sword handle and sword blade.
"These visions are the reflection of the spirituality of the sword embryo material itself. Generally, top-level magic treasures have visions."
Elder Jingsi explained.
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the "Taodu" sword in Cheng Xinzhan's acupoint immediately turned into a small peach tree with blooming peach blossoms, colorful, and in the branches, there was faintly a white-feathered red-crowned rooster.
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised and a little shocked. He didn't expect "Taodu" to be so spiritual. He moved his thoughts and praised it. The peach tree heard it and shook its branches, shaking countless spiritual lights.
"This is an old dead phoenix tree. After it died, it was buried underground and happened to fall into the mountain root. It was tempered by mountain root squeezing and spiritual opportunity, and became a treasure that looks like wood but not wood, like mineral but not mineral. It was refined into a sword embryo. This sword embryo is close to wood and earth, suitable for practitioners of earth and wood lines, with abundant spiritual energy, can be light or heavy, but slightly lacks toughness. It can be a magic sword, but not a body sword or flying sword."
The vision of the next sword was a hibiscus flower, and the original shape was a stone sword with water light.
"This is a lake stone in Poyang Lake, close to earth, gold, and water, but it is brittle, suitable for refining magic swords, not flying swords or body swords."
The vision of the next sword was actually a jumping gold bead. The bead had a golden luster, but it wriggled like a water bead, and the original shape was a small sword.
"This is a group of gold mercury wind dew, extremely jumping, good at changing, and extremely sharp, only suitable for flying swords."
The vision of the next sword was a coiled yellow big snake, and the original shape was a very wide big sword, which looked suitable for refining into a heavy sword.
"This is a sword embryo refined from Wutu sand jade plus Taiyin Xinjin. Gold and jade are blended, yin and yang are refined together, close to earth and gold, extremely heavy, not suitable for magic swords, can be flying swords or body swords."
The vision of the last sword was a purple light and a silver light chasing each other, like two dragons fighting for a pearl. The sword shape was generally purple, but there were black patterns on it, like some kind of characters, but looking closely, it was not, just natural patterns, but at the sword blade and sword tip, it was snow-white silver, like frost-dyed.
"This sword embryo is forged from a symbiotic mineral iron of a purple book copper mine and a moon soul silver mine at the boundary. Close to thunder, fire, and gold, agile and tough, it is very suitable for refining flying swords, magic swords, and body swords."
Elder Jingsi finished the introduction and let Cheng Xinzhan choose for himself.
He replied, "Back to Elder, the disciple intends to refine a thunder tool, and the first opened Heart Mansion belongs to the gold line. It seems that this symbiotic species of purple book copper and moon soul silver is the most suitable."
Elder Jingsi nodded, "You want to refine a thunder tool magic sword, then this is indeed suitable. Purple book copper is also called thunder book copper. It is said that it was formed after the documents of the ancient Thunder Department gods fell into the world. Look at the patterns on this, are they a bit like Thunder Seal?"
Cheng Xinzhan took a look, and it was really a bit like it, but it might also be preconceived. If he said it was like Cloud Li, he would also feel it was like it.
"Moon soul is the money circulating on the mountain, but it is also extremely close to thunder. Very early, finding out where the land was struck by thunder the most was also a way to find moon soul mines."
Elder Jingsi took out the sword embryo and handed it to Cheng Xinzhan.
He took it with both hands, it felt a bit cool, but also had a slight numbness of thunder strike. Although this sword embryo could only see a little sword shape, Cheng Xinzhan was extremely satisfied, and his brain had already begun to outline what this sword tool would look like after it was refined in the future.
"You give it a name, I will also record it here. This is the last errand I handled while guarding the sword library. Since I can't die for a while thanks to Mountain Master Wen, I can't lie down and wait for death. After this matter is finished, I will go to prepare for the robbery."
Elder Jingsi said with a smile, clearly in a very good mood.
Cheng Xinzhan thought for a while and said,
"The original intention of taking this sword tool is to use it as a thunder tool. Thunder originates from heaven and is the highest thing in heaven and earth. Take a "High" character. Thunder is also the true essence spiritual opportunity and innate true form between heaven and earth. Take a "Truth" character. Let's call it "High Truth"."
