Chapter 742: Sword Test (Additional Chapter for the Leader Xuanchou)

Chapter 742 Sword Test (Additional update for the leader of the alliance, Xuan Chou~)

Practice and have fun...

"Fine."

Situ Jian looked helplessly at the ink painting with shining eyes.

After that, Mo Hua began to practice sword-wielding, with Situ Jian giving guidance and being responsible for "picking up the sword" for Mo Hua.

Although Situ Jian has not yet learned how to handle a sword, he comes from a family of swordsmanship and has been exposed to many swordsmanship techniques since childhood. Even if he has not learned them, he has seen most of them and knows much more than Mo Hua.

With him watching from the side and giving a little guidance, he would not let the ink painting go wrong.

Under Situ Jian's guidance, Mo Hua's sword control improved rapidly.

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

For the ink painting of divine knowledge and enlightenment, it is even relatively simple.

The more Situ Jian looked at it, the more frightened he became, but also the more regretful he became.

"Little senior brother's spiritual sword control is too fast and too far, but the power... is really terrible..."

It can’t be said that there is none at all.

More or less.

It's just that this power comes from the "strength" of divine consciousness to control objects. It's like a hidden weapon thrown with bare hands, and is of little use.

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

The sword itself was not sharp and was rusty.

Situ Jian shook his head.

However, he still did his duty and helped Mo Hua practice "sword control" for a day. It wasn't until Mo Hua became very proficient that the two returned to the sect.

After arriving at the sect, Mo Hua specially treated Situ Jian to a big meal as a thank you gift for his instruction in the art of swordsmanship.

Among fellow sect members, it is very honorable to be invited to dinner by the younger senior brother.

Situ Jian also enjoyed his meal very happily.

After the two of them were full, they returned to their disciples' residence.

After returning to the disciple's residence, Mo Hua drew some formations, ate some food, and then began to think about the next plan.

First of all, I have learned the method of wielding a sword with my divine consciousness.

Although I only studied for one day, I probably understand the key points.

Then just practice more and improve your sword-wielding proficiency.

There may be a more profound method of "sacred sword control", but that is too far away and I can't use it at the moment.

The "Sword Control Technique" used to break the golden gate can be used as it is for now.

Next, the most important thing is to make the sword.

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

But Mo Hua knew full well that he estimated that he would never be able to develop any skills in sword energy in this life.

Therefore, we can only use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use "Sword Formation" to replace "Sword Qi"...

…

It was midday again, and Mo Hua did not go to Demon Refining Mountain. Instead, he made an appointment with Master Gu to have tea in a small living room of Gu's house.

The living room is exquisite and elegant, and is equipped with sound insulation array.

This can be regarded as a well-established rule of the aristocratic family.

The small living room where guests receive guests is set up with a soundproof array to protect the privacy of guests and prevent others from prying in.

Mo Hua and Master Gu were chatting in the small living room.

He explained his purpose to Master Gu simply and clearly.

Master Gu was startled when he heard this, "Forging a spiritual sword?!"

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

Because my "sword" is quite special, I use the sword array to explode and kill, basically using one to waste.

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

"...The shape is simpler, and like the Five Elements Source Armor, it also needs to be open source. The formation cannot be sealed inside, and there must be an external interface..."

Mo Hua added one by one.

Master Gu’s brows knitted together, he shook his head and said:

"To tell you the truth, young master, the Gu family is not a family of swordsmen. Our weapon refining shop in Gushan has never made serious spiritual swords. The orders we occasionally receive are all ordinary swords that are in the market and cannot be put on the market..."

"This kind of sword is said to be a 'sword', but it is not essentially different from a sword, a gun, or a club. It only has the shape of a sword, but does not have the essence of a spiritual sword."

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

"As for the sword formation..." Mo Hua just started to speak, but suddenly his heart sank, and he immediately realized a serious problem.

You can't tell Master Gu about the Broken Golden Sword Formation.

This sword array comes from Broken Golden Gate.

It is impossible for any sect to leak the core sword formation, let alone the small Golden Gate.

I learned it secretly on my own, so it’s nothing.

After all, formation matters are profound and obscure. If you know some things, others may not be able to understand them if you tell them, let alone believe them.

But if Master Gu and the others were to refine it, they would be in big trouble.

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

Therefore, Master Gu and the others cannot do the sword forging.

Mo Hua's mind changed rapidly, he thought for a moment and then said:

"...The sword formation is indeed more troublesome. If the sect doesn't teach it, I won't be able to get the real inheritance of the sword formation for a while..."

"So let's forget about the sword formation for now. Master Gu, just make some simple spiritual swords for me. Just use them as a 'formation matchmaker', using the sword as the shape and the weapon as the matchmaker..."

Master Gu did not doubt his presence, nodded slowly and said:

"Okay, I will go back and give it a try, young master."

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

After Master Gu returned, it took him about half a month to initially refine several spirit swords according to Mo Hua's requirements.

These are just ordinary spiritual swords.

As Master Gu said, it just looks like a "sword", and it is not much different from spiritual weapons such as knives and sticks.

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

However, it is enough to test the power of "controlling the sword".

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 drawn by Mo Hua in the sword is a complex formation system with spiritual power circulation and self-sufficiency.

The ordinary Broken Gold Sword Formation is supplied by the cultivators to increase the sword energy.

The Broken Gold Sword Formation that Mo Hua has modified now has changed the sword formation structure 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 spiritual 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 spiritual 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 it was time for 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 demon beasts, and began to practice sword.

He first drew a turtle on a big rock.

This turtle was 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 himself.

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

As soon as his spiritual mind moved, 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.

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 the hit, the formation was activated, and the spiritual power accumulated in the spirit formation activated the Broken Gold Sword Formation, which was transformed into sharp sword energy and crushed the rocks.

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

The turtle was also cut into powder.

The spirit sword was covered with cracks after bearing the sword energy generated by the explosion of the Broken Gold Sword Formation, and was also scrapped at the same time.

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 completely different from the original purpose of the sword formation.

It took a long time to transform the sword formation used for "amplification" into a 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 energy of the spirit sword.

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

After all, it is a cheap spirit sword, so the power cannot be too high.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

It has the power to kill, but it is far from enough, at least it has not met his expectations.

As for the sword formation, he can find a way to solve it.

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

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 formation, ordinary 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 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 powerful, and the huge Gushan Refining Shop depends on him for food.

Can't harm him.

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

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

You have to be someone you can trust.

The sword forging level 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 the "sword intention".

Therefore, this is also related to whether you can understand the sword intention, and further comprehend the true secret of spiritual consciousness sword transformation...

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

However, after a glance, 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.

The inheritance of the sword forging method is also very few.

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

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

This matter cannot be rushed.

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 controlling the sword.

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

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

Practicing sword by himself is completely a loss!

Every time he practiced flying the sword, the sword formation was stimulated, the sword energy burst out, and the spiritual sword was destroyed.

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

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

He is just a casual cultivator without family support. Although the spiritual stones are still rich now, if he keeps practicing like this, he will go bankrupt sooner or later.

Even if it is not his own bankruptcy.

It is Master Gu who forged the sword for him but was embarrassed to ask him for spiritual stones.

No matter who goes bankrupt, it is not a good thing.

"No!"

This is not in line with his own principles.

Mo Hua looked serious, "We have to find a way to practice flying swords and get some money back..."

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

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

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

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

It can be made up with magic or fists and feet. There is no need to waste a spiritual sword and use flying swords to make up for the damage.

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

Suddenly, there was a roar 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 realized.

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

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 small in size, but also much weaker in blood.

It is 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 valuable than ordinary monsters.

Mo Hua looked up at the sky, and sure enough, he saw several brown bird monsters with eagle beaks and hooked claws flying proudly in the sky.

Mo Hua smiled slightly.

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

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

But outside the Broken Gold Sword Formation, Mo Hua also set up some flame 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 eagle flew over his head.

Mo Hua's mind moved, and he opened his eyes, revealing a bright light in his eyes.

Grey-headed eagle!

Second-grade initial stage, eagle-like monster, with red wings and grey feathers on its head, can fly, mouth as hard as stone, 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 that may not be broken by sword energy;

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

Some are too strong and cannot be provoked;

Others are cunning and suspicious, with sharp perception...

Comparatively speaking, the eagle is the easiest to kill.

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

It does not have the 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, 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 burst out in the air.

The eagle fell down 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. 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 fell to the ground was no better than a chicken.

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

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

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

Mo Hua is not a physical practitioner, so he doesn't have enough strength, and he was not smooth enough, which wasted some time.

But after spending half an hour, he finally finished peeling.

But when peeling the eagle, Mo Hua always felt that the demonic power and breath of the eagle were somewhat familiar.

But it shouldn't be...

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

He clearly remembered that this was the first time he hunted this kind of eagle monster.

Why did he feel familiar?

Mo Hua thought about it for a while, but didn'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, Mo Hua's sword formation also crushed a lot of feathers, so 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 flying swords like this in the future, not only would he not lose money, but he could 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 swordsmanship, kill eagles, and earn merits.

His life was extremely fulfilling and very "rich".

The merits he accumulated were also increasing.

And in the Demon Refining Mountain, everything was calm.

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

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

This is especially true for disciples of sects who have no experience in hunting monsters.

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

During this period of time, most of the same-year disciples of other sects are still practicing, and they will go into the mountain to hunt monsters after their cultivation is solid.

Taixu Sect is an exception.

Or rather, this generation of Taixu Sect is an exception.

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

And they are first come first served, occupying a large piece of 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 go into the mountains 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...
