Chapter 33: Jade Mysterious Scripture

With the stable supply of raw materials from Taoist Pinglu, Song Qingming's talisman making has become much more stable. He has no shortage of materials and has gradually stabilized. Time seems to have returned to normal. After returning to Lingyuan Mountain, in addition to the fixed time required for talisman making, he also took out more time to practice.

Soon, Song Qingming has been back to Lingyuan Mountain for almost three months. In these few months, in addition to the steady growth of his cultivation, Song Qingming's talisman making skills, who has no shortage of materials, have also made rapid progress.

Now he can easily draw five or six kinds of mid-level spiritual talismans, and the success rate of the golden light talisman, which he is best at, has also increased to nearly 40%. He has finally equalized the spiritual stones he lost in the early stage and became a qualified mid-level talisman maker.

In the past few months in Caolu Mountain, in addition to Taoist Pinglu who provided talisman making materials on time, Qin Zhen also came frequently and took good care of Song Qingming. He not only purchased a lot of spiritual talismans in Song Qingming's hands, but also introduced him to a lot of casual cultivation customers. The spiritual talismans made by Song Qingming in the past few months have suddenly become a hot commodity in Caolu Mountain, and his business is getting better and better.

This really made Song Qingming a little happy, but unfortunately, his mid-level talisman-making materials were used up early every month, and he had no plan to make a large number of talismans for the time being. He knew that this way of making money was not too anxious. In a place like Caolu Mountain, carrying too many spiritual objects on his body would inevitably arouse the greed of those late-stage Qi-refining cultivators.

Now that he had no talisman-making materials in his hands, Song Qingming finally had some free time, so he wanted to take this opportunity to spend some time to sacrifice the top-grade flying sword he got in Guiyunfang.

The reason why he did not choose to sacrifice this sword early was that it was not an easy task to sacrifice a top-grade magic weapon. The time required to sacrifice this level of magic weapon was much longer than that of a mid-level magic weapon.

Last time in Funiushan, Song Qingming sacrificed the Lieyang Sword, but it took more than a day. This time, the Taixu Sword he sacrificed was a top-grade magic weapon. The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more complicated the sacrifice process and the longer it took.

Song Qingming estimated that this ritual would take at least three days. Before refining the magic weapon, he had asked Song Changxin for a few days off, saying that he would be in seclusion for a few days.

After leaving Guiyunfang, he hurried back to Qinghe County. He had no time to refine this item. After returning to Lingyuan Mountain, he was busy making talismans every day until now when he finally had time.

Taking out the Taixu Sword from the storage bag, Song Qingming carefully observed the flying sword from beginning to end again.

The silver sword body is about three feet long, with a red stripe in the middle, and a long white beard hanging from the green hilt. As a top-grade flying sword, the Taixu Sword does not seem to have anything special on the surface. It was just an extremely ordinary magic weapon in the ordinary grocery store at the time.

Song Qingming still doesn't know what attracted him to this top-grade flying sword of ordinary quality. It's just a strong consciousness from the heart that guides him to find it.

After thinking about it for several months, Song Qingming still couldn't figure out this problem.

Since there is a fate, let it be. After adjusting his state, Song Qingming released a trace of spiritual power in his body, and soon wrapped the Taixu Sword in his hand. As Song Qingming slowly drew out the spiritual power in his body, the red sword body was soon completely covered by white spiritual energy.

Song Qingming held his breath and concentrated, took out a drop of blood essence in his body, and put it on the sword body. Soon, the Taixu Sword body wrapped in white light shook and made a buzzing sound.

The time taken to sacrifice the Taixu Sword this time was also beyond Song Qingming's expectations. It was not until five days later that a ray of white light dispersed, and the spiritual power in Song Qingming's body wrapped the blood essence that he had released first, and finally entered the Taixu Sword body.

Seeing that his blood essence had entered the sword body, Song Qingming hurriedly increased his spiritual power input, wanting to integrate the blood essence into the magic weapon in one breath and complete the magic weapon sacrifice.

At this moment, the Taixu Sword suddenly turned into a dazzling white light. After the white light dissipated, there was a crisp sound, and the Taixu Sword suddenly broke into two pieces with a bang and fell to the ground, which shocked Song Qingming into a cold sweat.

Song Qingming stared at the two broken swords on the ground in amazement, and his mind was blank. This was 150 spiritual stones. How many spiritual talismans would he have to draw to exchange for another top-grade magic weapon.

Could it be that his ritual steps were wrong?

Or was he too young and fell into the trap of the master and apprentice? How could the quality of this flying sword be considered a top-grade magic weapon? Song Qingming took the initiative to think about it again. There was really no big problem with his ritual. Even if the ritual failed, it would not destroy this top-grade flying sword on the spot.

It seems that it was indeed a quality problem of the magic weapon itself. After all, he took the initiative to buy the magic weapon at that time. Even if he was set up by those two people, he could only admit it now. He would go to Guiyunfang to meet them again when he had the chance.

Song Qingming smiled bitterly and used the object control technique to take the broken sword into his hand. Just as he was about to put it into the storage bag, he suddenly felt a strange spiritual power fluctuation coming from the broken sword. Song Qingming picked up the half-broken sword and took a closer look. He unexpectedly discovered that there was something hidden in the broken sword.

When he took it out, it seemed to be a volume of martial arts. Song Qingming opened it and read it carefully. Then he found that it was a Taoist martial arts called "Yuxuan Sutra". There was no spiritual root requirement, but only the part of the Qi Refining Stage.

I don't know if the martial arts after the foundation building stage in the book were sealed by some high-end prohibition. The page just showed a blank. Song Qingming tried it and found that he couldn't open it with his current ability, so he had to give up.

It seems to be a special Qi Refining Stage martial arts, but I don't know why that person hid this volume of martial arts in the Taixu Sword. I was attracted to this sword that day. Is it because this martial arts is destined for me?

Song Qingming looked at the "Yuxuan Sutra" in his hand with some laughter and tears. He spent 150 spirit stones and thought he had lost everything, but he didn't expect that he would get a volume of Qi Refining Stage martial arts unexpectedly. He didn't know whether he made a profit or a loss.

The value of a technique is hard to estimate. A general Qi-refining technique with five elements is worth at most a dozen spirit stones in the market. If there are some rare techniques with special abilities, hundreds of spirit stones may not be enough to buy them. If you hand it over to the family's gold pavilion, you may get more spirit stones.

Song Qingming didn't know the effect of this technique yet, so he didn't dare to give it to the family rashly.

"Since it's destined for me, I'd better practice it myself first. If there's nothing wrong with this technique, I'll copy it and hand it over to the family when I have time." Song Qingming said to himself.

In the past two hundred years, the Song family has also collected dozens of Qi-refining techniques in the gold pavilion, but there is no such technique. As long as Song Qingming copies it to the gold pavilion in the future, it will definitely be beneficial to the family, and he can also exchange it for some good deeds.

In this Yuxuan Sutra, there is only one magical spell in the Qi-refining technique that can slightly increase the speed of one's own practice. It is called "Gathering Spirit Technique", which is a spell to assist practice.

There are many such spells that can increase the speed of cultivation in the world of immortal cultivation, but most of them can only increase it by 10% or 20%. There are similar spells in the Song family's treasure house, but they are limited to spiritual roots. You must have water and wood spiritual roots to practice.

Song Qingming lacks water in the five elements and has no water spiritual roots. He has not practiced this technique before. Now he has obtained this spiritual gathering technique, which just fills this gap for him.

Although this magical power cannot be used against the enemy, it is still somewhat useful. With the incomplete map on his body, Song Qingming expects to increase his cultivation speed by about 20%. In addition, he has been taking pills for improving his cultivation for a long time, which has also made him close to the cultivation speed of a cultivator with three spiritual roots.

Although the Yuxuan Sutra technique does not have any powerful magical spells, it is not bad as an auxiliary practice. Song Qingming has gained something from this technique, and the haze of the broken Taixu sword has gradually disappeared from his face.

Now Song Qingming has no shortage of spirit stones. He takes elixirs every month, his cultivation is steadily improving, and the magic weapons in his hands are also quite good. What he lacks is a method that can help him increase his cultivation speed.
