Volume Two, Huo Zha Xuanjing, Chapter 181, Chen Mansion
Most of the materials for refining ordinary swords and knives are not acceptable to sword cultivators.
Even if the piece of deep-sea cold iron that Gui Ruquan and others obtained back then could only be regarded as a barely acceptable material for the Yuanling Flying Sword, it would probably not be attractive to some high-level sword cultivators.
However, there are too few flying sword materials suitable for sword cultivators in the world, and the entire skill of a sword cultivator lies in a flying sword.
Therefore, many sword cultivators see no hope of finding suitable materials and can only use some ordinary materials to refine the Yuanling Flying Sword itself. However, they are naturally extremely cautious when facing enemies and do not dare to use this flying sword.
Some sword cultivators, worried about their own safety, simply gave up the idea of refining the Yuanling Flying Sword, and just looked for some of the more outstanding sword-type spiritual weapons to be refined.
In this way, although the power of their flying swords is greatly reduced, they don't have to worry about the swords destroying people and killing people.
With Liu Ming's current cultivation level, there is no need to consider such issues as refining the Yuanling Flying Sword, but it is still possible to cultivate his own sword spirit embryo first.
Liu Ming himself had probably been very interested in the rumored sword cultivation method for a long time. Now that he has obtained this Tai Gang Sword Technique, he will naturally not give up on practicing it.
According to what is said in the Tai Gang Sword Technique, although this sword spirit embryo is only a body of energy, as long as it is used outside the body once, it will be weakened, and its power is far from comparable to the infused Yuan Ling Flying Sword.
But after being activated, it can still cut gold and jade, and kill people within a hundred feet, which is not something ordinary spiritual weapons can withstand.
Of course, the gestation of this sword spirit embryo also takes countless efforts.
Generally speaking, it takes at least ten years to complete a sword spirit embryo that can be poured into the body of a flying sword, and it can take up to thirty or forty years to complete. It depends on the time a person spends on it and his own cultivation level.
Moreover, even if the embryo of the sword spirit reaches the conditions for infusing the flying sword body, it can still be cultivated in the body by the owner, and its power can continue to increase with almost no upper limit.
As a result, some high-level sword cultivators who have never been able to find suitable flying sword materials can imagine how terrifying the sword spirit embryos in their bodies are.
When Liu Ming saw these words, he finally had a rough impression of the power of the little light yellow sword in his body, and couldn't help but secretly marveled.
With Patriarch Liuyin's astonishing cultivation, and the fact that he has been cultivating it until the time of longevity, the embryo of his sword spirit is so terrifying that no one in the entire Daxuan Kingdom can take a blow from it.
But it's a pity that according to the description in this sword art, there are only two conditions for activating the embryo of the sword spirit.
One can be easily activated by the person of the same bloodline who gave birth to it, and the other can be barely activated by relying on a powerful mental power that far exceeds that of the original owner.
Except for the original owner who gave birth to the sword embryo and his descendants, no one else can do the former. The latter requires a more powerful spiritual power than the Liuyin Patriarch, which is also impossible to achieve no matter how you think about it.
.
Although Liu Ming was very interested in the sword spirit embryo in his body, he could only give up other ideas and cultivate his own sword embryo first.
According to what is said in Tai Gang Sword Jue, the sword spirit embryo will be different according to the breathing and cultivation method, and the sword embryo will be different. In addition, the flying sword body will be made from different materials, and the flying sword will be infused with different skills.
There's a huge difference.
The Taigang Sword Art is obviously a top-level sword art. The sword embryo cultivated according to the method recorded above is called the Taigang Sword Embryo. Its power is far beyond the comparison of ordinary sword embryos.
Unfortunately, the first step in cultivating this sword embryo is to collect tungsten iron, a material that has never been heard of before, and absorb the metallic power contained in it before starting the subsequent cultivation.
He had already asked Qian Chaoda once before, but the owner of Bailingju had never heard of this kind of material, but he had promised to help him find out where it was for sale in Xuanjing. But it seemed that it would not be available in a short time. There is news.
Fortunately, he has not yet fully understood the breathing method of cultivating sword embryos, so he is not in a hurry.
While Liu Ming was thinking this in his mind, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate on this set of spells.
The night passed by slowly.
The next morning, Liu Ming checked Qian Ruping again and made sure that the girl's body was completely fine. He told her to practice in the house and left the Qian Mansion again.
This time, he planned to visit the long-famous Xuanjing underground workshop.
This market is different from other local markets. Because there are not many major sects to supervise it, there is no order at all. However, there are often some rare items that are not found in other markets, such as Bailingju. Powers like Jubaolou and Jubaolou have opened their own shops there.
But before that, when he was passing by a certain street in a carriage, his eyes suddenly glanced at the entrance of an alley, and after seeing a strange mark, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Half an hour later, Liu Que once again transformed into the costume of a middle-aged Taoist priest, calmly arrived at the alley entrance he had seen before, and went straight to the coffin shop he had visited last time.
The hunchback owner of the shop was surprised when he saw Liu Ming arriving. He just closed the shop door skillfully and led him to the back room without saying a word.
A moment later, Liu Ming appeared alone in the secret room dozens of feet underground, and stood in the middle of the magic circle with a solemn expression. He pressed both hands on the circular stone platform at the same time, and the two large and small magic circles were activated at the same time. rise.
After a burst of colorful light flashed across the surface of the stone platform, he retracted his hands and muttered to himself with a frown:
"Xifeng Street, Chen Yushi! What did Uncle Lei think? I could have just given this information when I set out. I had to contact him through the magic circle when I arrived at Xuanjing. It seems that Fangshi We can only wait a few more days before going, and finish the things that Uncle Lei ordered first."
He kneaded the secret with one hand again, then gently walked towards the stone platform.
Immediately, the sounds of the two magic formations, large and small, stopped with a "squeak", and they stopped functioning.
Liu Wu then turned around and left the secret room.
An hour later, in front of an area of mansions with red walls and glazed tiles in Xuanjing, a carriage sped along an unusually wide street and slowly stopped in front of an alley.
As soon as the car door opened, Liu Ming, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, jumped out, glanced at the alley ahead, and strode in.
This alley is very long, but there are only five or six gates in it. Most of the gates are decorated with stone lions, tigers and other statues of different sizes.
Obviously, the people living here are either rich or noble, and the voices of some maids and servants can be faintly heard in these houses.
Liu Ming quickly walked through the first few houses until he reached the deepest part of the alley, then stood in front of the last gate and looked up at a plaque hanging above.
In the middle of the plaque, the word "Chen Mansion" is clearly written in silver powder.
This Chen Mansion is obviously much more desolate than the previous ones. Not only is the ground in front of the house covered with dry dust, but there is also silence behind the closed door.
After Liu Wu took a look, he took a few steps without hesitation and tapped the copper ring on the door a few times with his hand.
The muffled sound of "hole" immediately came from the door.
But after a long time, the door was still as quiet as before, and there was no sign of anyone coming out to open the door.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and when he was thinking about whether to cast a spell and break in directly, another slanted door suddenly opened, and a man who looked like a servant stretched out his head to look this way.
But when he saw Liu Ming standing in front of the Chen Mansion and turned around, he immediately shrank his head in shock and was about to close the door again, but it was already too late.
The man felt his figure flicker in front of him, and Liu Ming appeared in front of him like a ghost, and pressed the edge of the door with one palm. The door that had been nearly half closed suddenly became extremely heavy and could not be moved at all.
"What are you going to do? This is Lord Wang's residence, not a place where anyone can be arrogant." The servant immediately shouted in shock and anger.
"I don't care about Mr. Wang or Mr. Li. I just want to ask why the Chen Mansion opposite became empty. Where did the people inside go?" Liu Ming asked expressionlessly, while pressing the palm of his hand on the door edge.
Use a little force.
A "click" sound!
The door, which seemed to be extremely hard, was suddenly ripped off in a large piece.
The man dressed as a servant suddenly became excited, hurriedly took his hand away from the door, and said with a smile:
"It turns out to be Mr. Qi Shi. The Chen Mansion has been taken back by the court a month ago since Chen Yushi was imprisoned. His family is said to be living in a rented house two streets away from here in the west. If you want to
If you look for them, you can find Mrs. Chen and the others there."
"Do you know the specific location of the rental house?" Liu Ming asked calmly after hearing this.
"I'm really not sure about this little one. But there is an old servant in the Chen family. Every day at noon, he goes to the rice shop near the street to buy some food. If you go to the rice shop to wait, you should be able to meet him." The servant
The man nodded and bowed.
Liu Ming nodded after hearing this, and with a movement of his body, the person appeared a few feet away, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
The servant took a long breath and hurriedly closed the door. But when he turned around, he suddenly found a middle-aged man in a green robe standing not far behind him, with a majestic look on his face.
"Ah, sir?" The servant man hurried over to greet him.
"What's going on? Why did you hear voices at the door just now? Are you talking to someone?" the middle-aged man asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"Reporting to the master, this is what happened. It seems that the Chen Mansion opposite has a visitor..." The servant man hurriedly told his master what had just happened.
"Qi Refiner! Are you sure that the other party is really a Qi Refiner?" After hearing these words, the man in green robe couldn't help but look a little uncertain.
"Master, if it weren't for the Qi Refiner, how could our door be like this?" the servant man said hurriedly, pointing to the scratched area on the door.
