Chapter 388: Flying Sword, Hundred Poison Yellow Sand Gu
Asking for someone's sect inheritance right off the bat is a very rude thing to do, no less so than demanding someone's parents' lives.
Just like in those novels, whenever peerless martial arts or peerless divine weapons emerge, they always stir up bloody storms; if one truly wants to obtain the Sword Casting Villa inheritance, it is actually basically impossible to go the route of exchange.
Even with the daughter of the Seven Swords' Tianquan Sword in one's own hands, and truly having the Dutian Liehuo Ancestor Inheritance in hand.
Therefore, Xu Jia knew that he would inevitably have to have a go with Gongye Lingxue's old man.
Thus, Xu Jia only let Huogong Toutuo take them along to plant trees and grass, and by dusk, the few of them had their consciousnesses shifted and were arranged at the Dharma Realm's Demon Refining Platform, exhausting their minds and strength to resist the desert Dharma Realm demons from invading the Pure Land.
The three people's positions formed a perfect triangle, surrounding the Dharma Realm, each in charge of one side.
Huogong Toutuo, having already done this rough and tiring work in advance, only gloated: "The Master has shifted your Primordial Spirit thoughts into the Yin Underworld; behind us is the Blessed Field Pure Land, and there are various outer demons coming to destroy the Dharma Realm. We must cooperate with each other to eliminate them. These Yin demons and illusion demons—if they invade the Demon Refining Platform, your physical bodies will also suffer."
He Yu Langjun was still a bit dazed; no, I've already taught the Sword Scripture, so why was I still dragged to this kind of place?
Only blame him for not leaving when he should have; staying here, even breathing the air requires paying a fee and doing work.
Upon hearing "Yin Underworld," Gongye Lingxue was startled: "Isn't it that only by cultivating a Spirit Embryo, obtaining an immortal body, and crossing one's name off the Death Registry can one enter the Yin Underworld? Besides that, there are some demonic path practitioners who rely on You Ming death Qi for cultivation and always set their Dongfu lairs in the cracks between Yin and Yang..."
She still wanted to ask, when she saw a huge beetle. This beetle was pitch-black, emitting a metallic matte luster, its Beetle Horn comparable to a flying sword, and it was even glowing with red light and could even drill through sand, charging straight at her.
She hurriedly set up her sword to block, but felt a giant force, her heart shocked: How can there be such a powerful demon? Huogong Toutuo was also surprised; he only thought, "How bitter." Last night there were only some sand ghosts, dried corpses, or other small monsters, but tonight, the things attacking the Dharma Realm were directly extremely powerful monsters that were just a notch stronger than him. This made it hard for him not to suspect that there must be some existence driving these demons, just because last night he was alone, so it only sent one such demon.
He hurriedly attacked with the Dutian Liehuo Sword, but that large beetle did not fear the fierce fire at all, and Gongye Lingxue's Xiaoyue Sword was like scratching an itch.
"Young Master He, all things have their natural mutual generation and restraint. This insect monster must fear the avian kind; I wonder if your Crane Feather Sword can break its shell."
He Yu Langjun came back to his senses, his heart still thinking about Xu Jia's identity, secretly saying: "Could it be that this is a senior from the Yellow Lotus Sect who went into seclusion and finally came out of the mountains after several hundred years?"
As for Xu Jia, because he had set up the Gu Technique during the day, and because the vitality here was vigorous and the Water Qi was abundant, it attracted many poisonous creatures.
Poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous toads, poisonous snakes...
There were even some that had become climate-hardened, such as two-headed poisonous snakes, three-tailed scorpions...
These poisonous creatures breathed out Chong Qi, turning into a green mist.
Xu Jia extracted the poison to refine a sword, and he already had a plan. These things couldn't refine any top-tier flying swords, and even first- or second-rate ones were difficult, but a third-rate flying sword was something he could think about.
Anyway, using the methods of the heterodox path, this method of refining Gu and the method of refining swords had partial overlaps. At least after Xu Jia observed the Crane Form Sword Scripture and the Dutian Liehuo Sword, he already had a rough idea.
When Xu Jia was preaching in America, there were Nanyang Gu masters who had refined Centipede Gu. That Gu was like a flying sword, within a hundred paces it was like lightning, could wrap around a person's face, and liked to suck brain marrow.
When Xu Jia refined the Centipede Dragon, he obtained tens of thousands of centipede eggs and a Centipede Pearl, and had also refined this treasure, which he later gave to Xiao Pang.
Now that he was refining again, he added innovations and used the methods from here. Refining artifacts in this realm emphasizes prohibitions, which is actually the art of "Talisman." Speaking of Talismans, Xu Jia possesses the Lingbao Register Method and can evolve ten thousand talismans; he is truly a Grandmaster in this path.
Never mind what Earthly Evil Prohibition, Heavenly Dipper Prohibition, or All-Heavens Prohibition...
Xu Jia used the Gu Technique to evolve the Spirit Treasure Gu Register and Gu Talisman, directly condensing the toxicity of these poisonous insects into a sword embryo, and also refined the yellow sand that was everywhere in this Da Mo into it, using the Thick Earth nature of Dimu.
Poison-refining the yellow sand, then using the yellow sand to refine the sword.
This yellow sand was not ordinary yellow sand either; it was spiritual sand possessing the Dharma concept of "Da Mo Yellow Sand." First, it had an earth nature; second, it had a fiery nature; gathering sand into a river also gave it a water nature; and the sand grains themselves also possessed a "Diamond nature." Adding this poison, it then had a "wood nature."
Thus, with the Five Elements complete, he kneaded and refined three thousand six hundred and fifty grains of poison sand all at once.
After refining the sand, Xu Jia scattered it, and those poisonous insects that were spitting poison were all beaten to death by this sand. The insects' spirituality merged into the poison sand, making this sand turn into a spider one moment, a scorpion the next, and a flowing-sand poisonous snake the next. Then, following the Hundred Poison Gu refining technique, he made the insects' souls devour each other.
As Xu Jia refined it this way, clusters of poisonous fire and bursts of poisonous miasma rose up together with the yellow sand, casting a ghostly light.
"Abbot, that place is the Buddha Kingdom Secret Realm."
In the desert at night, there were two monks, one big and one small, walking. The big monk held a Zen Staff, and the little monk held a Cimei Staff.
These two were "people of the Shamen," cultivating in the Qianfo Ku of the Da Mo, guarding scriptures, knowing some Dharma, and also understanding martial arts, but they did not refine flying swords. The big monk was called Baiyun Chanshi, and the little monk was called Shifang.
The two did not come for the secret treasure; they only heard that the Buddha Kingdom Secret Realm had emerged and wanted to persuade people not to destroy the secret realm. Those murals, sculptures, or stone tablets and ancient scriptures might not have any martial arts manuals or Immortal sword techniques, but they were also treasures of the Buddha.
"Not right, there is an evil aura."
Baiyun Chanshi looked toward that end, which was exactly where Xu Jia was refining the "Hundred Poison Yellow Sand Gu" flying sword.
Immediately, he headed toward Xu Jia's location.
Xu Jia had already begun to conclude his work. The grains of yellow sand not only did not look gloomy, but instead, each grain was golden and bright, emitting fiery colors, like grains of gold.
The sand finally gathered together, turning into a flying sword. Its spirituality flickered; gathered, it could transform into the Hundred Poison Sand Gu, good at sand-evasion and sneak attacks; scattered, it merged into the Da Mo yellow sand, and if it touched skin, the skin would vanish, and if it touched flesh, the flesh would rot.
Looking at the corpses of poisonous insects all over the ground, plus the Gu Talismans circulating around, Master Baiyun began to chant "Amitabha": "Benefactor, although ants are weak, one should still cherish their lives. Such killing will inevitably produce karmic obstacles."
Xu Jia had already discovered him but ignored him. Now that he heard him say this, he just felt it was a bit meddlesome.
He immediately turned his back and practiced with this newly refined flying sword. This sword, if nothing else, had enough creativity. Although the materials used were ordinary, the fact that it could be refined into a third-rate flying sword was still because this body's Daoist Practice was average. If it were Xu Jia's true body, he would have refined this Da Mo yellow sand in patches, and at the very least, he would have produced a "Samadhi Divine Sand."
