In fact, Yu Zhengxing's guess was not accurate. Only a handful of Quanzhen Sect's disciples from various states rushed to Jincheng, and most of them did not arrive, including of course the so-called true core - Yujing disciples.
Calculating based on the distance, they should have arrived long ago after receiving the news. The fact that they haven't arrived yet only means that it is still early for departure. They are closest to the power center of the Quanzhen Sect. Of course, the news is more accurate than them.
The master waited for guests, the country people waited for city people, and the small places waited for big places. This was a real world, and he had nothing to dissatisfy. He just took advantage of this window period to prepare some sword-making materials for himself.
Once a sword cultivator develops sword consciousness, he can refine his own sword. In this regard, the Quanzhen Sect's secret techniques are unparalleled in the entire Splendid Continent.
The reason why he hasn't started yet is because he doesn't know how to do it, and because he doesn't have the materials, he can only hold back until now.
Not every disciple is qualified to obtain the Sword Refining Technique. Various conditions are required, such as having a realm of at least connecting a bridge and being recognized as an elite disciple. He has now satisfied these two conditions, so he has successfully obtained the Sword Refining Technique. Law.
After some study, I finally got a general understanding of sword training.
The Quanzhen sword refining method does not have so many bells and whistles, nor does it have countless choices. Just like the Taoist method, there is only one method. Every sword cultivator uses this method to refine their swords. Of course, the process is different for each person. , which is their respective preferences under the same principle.
Overall, sword training can be divided into two types: internal training and external training, each with its own pros and cons and tendencies.
The method of external refining involves taking specific materials as sword sharpening stones and sharpening them with the sword every day. This process does not use ordinary fire or external force, but purely uses the monk's own strength to form a bond between the sword and the material. Layers of Qigang are melted, and through grinding, the desired material is replaced into the sword.
Just like a cook sharpening a kitchen knife, it is also called the method of sharpening a sword.
The method of internal refining is to place the flying sword in the body, refine it with the energy of the five elements, hone the sword's strength, and gradually turn the flying sword into what you want.
Therefore, the external refining method is rough refining, while the internal refining method is detailed refining, and finally a sharp weapon that can truly kill people can be formed.
Hou Zi had no choice but to choose rough training, because it was the cornerstone to incorporate the sword into his body and generate mana after enlightenment, but he couldn't do it yet.
During the sword cultivator's sword refining, there is no forging fire during the entire process, whether it is ordinary fire or fairy fire. This is the experience of sword cultivators who have practiced swords for thousands of years. It's not that it can't be done, but the sword is forged by fire. The weapon may make the sword much faster, but there are congenital flaws in the integration of the human sword and it cannot be perfected. Instead, the quality of the sword will be affected due to various factors in the fire forging process.
Therefore, the simplest and stupidest method is actually the best method. In the pure physical sword sharpening, the monk's own strength is used to polish it day by day, and the spirit is poured into it. Although this process is slow, it can deepen the relationship between man and the sword. The fusion between them means that people know the sword and the sword understands people.
When the sword is roughly refined, it becomes a part of your life, and there is no need to adjust to it. Unlike forging in a furnace, the sword is refined quickly, but it takes a long time to really adapt to it.
What Hou Zi needs to consider now is to find such a sharpening stone.
In Jincheng, there is a shop that specializes in selling sword sharpening stones. This is something that other countries do not specialize in. It is a unique feature of Shan.
Most of the people who came in and out of the Sword Grinding Stone Shop were Lianqiao monks, and a few Bigu monks were also in a spectator mood.
Among the buyers, no one can tell whether the monk has developed sword consciousness. This is the secret of the monks; but in terms of professional practice, there are very few minor cultivators who have developed sword consciousness, and most of them buy sword sharpening stones.
The main purpose of sword cultivation is to help generate sword consciousness through daily sword sharpening.
True and false, false and true.
Hou Zi spent a whole day looking at the sword sharpening stones in all the shops in Jincheng. It was not that he was dazzled by the selection, but he wanted Gu Jian to choose it by himself; when Gu Jian came into contact with the most suitable material for it, he
It will emit a slight trembling, and he will judge the choice of the lone sword by the strength of the trembling.
Generating sword consciousness is not the birth of a sword spirit. This is the future goal, so it cannot speak. The way to express its intentions is the trembling of the sword body. Only the owner who has generated sword consciousness can clearly grasp its love and hate.
It was getting dark and he made a decision.
Wanshifang is somewhat famous among Jincheng Mojian Shifangpu. It takes the path of having many varieties and covering a wide range of areas. Ten thousand kinds is a bit exaggerated, but there are thousands of kinds. It is all-encompassing and has everything.
Stone is just a term. In fact, most of the sword sharpening stones here are mainly made of various metals. This is also the characteristic of swords; sharpness and hardness are the first conditions, and then the others.
When the shop owner Lao Pang saw him, he smiled slightly and knew that the order was stable. This young man had already been here at noon, and it was just a rough selection. Of course he knew the principle of comparing buyers with others. Now that he came in, he already had a goal.
For sword cultivators, the sword sharpening stone is not something that can be dealt with, it is related to the future direction of a sword cultivator.
He slowly stepped forward and asked, "What do you like, fellow Taoist? I can take it out and you can test it with your sword."
Hou Zi nodded, and his eyes finally fell on a dark and inconspicuous stone. It was the size of a millstone and extremely irregular. At first glance, it looked like a natural thing that had not been chiseled by humans.
He has never thought about the opportunity to take advantage of others in the business. This is due to his character. The time he has to think about these unreliable heretics is not as practical as practicing more swordsmanship. Moreover, human beings are such creatures.
If it's cheap, you'll think about the next time, endlessly, slowly become addicted, and finally become the temperament of a businessman. This is not what swordsmen pursue.
Therefore, his attitude when visiting shops is to come with a purpose, leave when there is no need, and not worry about small details.
But the trembling sound of the lonely sword helped him choose something that was placed in a corner and seemingly no one cared about. This was not something he could decide.
"This stone looks a bit like a meteorite. What is its origin?"
Lao Pang stretched out his hand and patted the stone, "You have a good eye, this is a meteorite that fell from the sky, and it has been in the store for nearly a hundred years. Who sent it and where did it get it, these questions can no longer be verified.
What's so special? I'll tell you the truth, if there's anything special about it, it won't survive now. There are countless sword cultivators in Da Feng Yuan, and thousands of people who have come to my shop over the past hundred years don't seem to notice anything?
I also asked experts who are expert in this field to do an appraisal, but the results were vague and it was difficult to tell which of the five elements it belonged to.
It has been sold several times over the past hundred years, all because of its uniqueness, hoping for unexpected gains, but the result was always disappointing, and after sharpening the sword for a period of time, it was returned.
This store is a time-honored one and I never deceive others. If you choose this store, you should be careful."
