Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 10 Natural Sword Type
The Beichen Sword Sect, as its name suggests, has the specialty of refining sword energy.

It is different from the Five Elements of Taoism taught by other sects, which adopt the ordinary transformation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper the muscles and bones, polish the body, and refine the Taoist body.

Sword Qi is the refined true Qi that is first stored in special meridian points, then repeatedly compressed and condensed to refine the sword shape, and then ejected into a high-speed Qi blade, a special variant specially designed for killing.

Therefore, the benefit of sword Qi has little to do with the realm of cultivation. Even if you are a boy who has just started to cultivate Qi, as long as you repeatedly polish a meridian and a breath of Qi, you can also cultivate sword Qi. Moreover, the longer the time of cultivation, the higher the purity of sword Qi, and the faster and sharper the Qi blade will be. It can be said to be able to cut hair with a gust of air and cut iron like mud, and it is extremely sharp.

However, no matter how pure the refined sword energy is, it is only powerful for a moment. No matter how much sword energy is refined each time, it will be gone once it is shot out. If it cannot be absorbed back in time, it will have to be refined all over again. It is not efficient to use it for cultivation, so it is only used when killing.

Moreover, it goes without saying that practicing the secret sword Qi is extremely dangerous. If there is even the slightest mistake, one will end up like those boys from Guangxia Mountain, where the Qi of the sword pierced through their bodies and killed them.

Even though it is a secret teaching within the Beichen Sword Sect that one can use sword energy for self-cultivation through a special practice route to greatly assist in increasing the speed of cultivation, this technique of tempering the sword in the acupuncture points and meridians is actually completely unnecessary.

After all, the rate and upper limit of the human body's absorption of Qi are limited. Instead of spending hard work to temper it, it is better to refine the bones several times and improve the overall cultivation.

Therefore, usually the inner sect of the Sword Sect only uses it when they are in seclusion to break through and forcibly improve their cultivation. And the ordinary disciples who usually practice cultivation actually practice half of it.

For example, the Shengang Qi-refining and Sword-forging Technique first specifically refines Qi, cleanses the bones and cultivates the Dao body, just like other Xuanmen. Only when fighting and facing the enemy, will the Qi-forming sword technique be used to spray a mouthful of sword Qi to fight the enemy.

Even though Yue Peng had been practicing with Master Chen since he was a child, and had been practicing swordsmanship for forty to fifty years, from the time he started to learn swordsmanship to the time he built his foundation and passed on the sword, and was only waiting to gather all the natural resources and treasures to form the elixir, he also practiced in the same step-by-step manner.

It would be better to say that in the entire Jiuyin Mountain, who dares to release sword energy like Tiedan at any time? And even release it and absorb it back to use repeatedly? ?
If there was a mistake, he would either chop off his head or damage his meridians, becoming a disabled person. Even if only sword marks and internal injuries were left in the body, it would be difficult for him to achieve great things in the future and he would have to die in battle and be reborn.

In fact, he was worried at first. Although this kid he picked up had a high level of comprehension and good physique, he was illiterate and did not understand reason. He was like those naughty kids, and it would be very difficult to teach him.

But he didn't expect that Tiedan had some kind of predestined relationship with the sword techniques and qigong formulas. He could learn them after reading them once and master them after being taught once. He quietly became a master by himself and refined the "Sword Forging Formula" to perfection. He was simply a reincarnated old monster who knew everything naturally. If his master hadn't seen that there was nothing wrong with him, he would have thought that this kid had been possessed by some evil cult member.

In the past, on Guangxia Mountain, when seeing Tiedan and Jianjia fighting on equal terms, it was still difficult to realize how powerful he was. But now, seeing with his own eyes that this kid was among the monsters, killing all kinds of people with just a breath of sword energy, even Yue Peng was a little unsure.

Could it be that this boy is really a natural born swordsman? Or is the secret sword energy of this mountain really that powerful?
Yue Peng couldn't help but ask, and Tiedan was honest.

"I won't."

"No? What don't you mean?"

"If you refine half of it, it will only become Qi, not a sword. I don't know how to do it."

Yue Peng watched Tiedan practice it and understood it.

Oh, this kid’s breathing speed is actually quite normal, and his efficiency in refining Qi is similar to that of other boys, but he is particularly fast in refining sword Qi, with absolutely no delay or hesitation. The spiritual Qi only circulates in his meridians, and he refines the sword Qi in the blink of an eye, as if this is his original talent...

"Oh... no! Is it that easy to refine Qi and forge a sword?"

Yue Peng felt that his three views were challenged.

You know, if it was so easy to condense Qi into a sword, how could those fellow disciples of the Sword Sect die so miserably?
He strangled his own intestines and throat, and then cut open his stomach to kill himself. It was all because his Qi was not refined well and his sword was not forged well, so the broken sword marks went against the meridians.

Tiedan was puzzled and Yue Peng was exhausted. Although there were often legends about geniuses in the world, Tiedan's case was too outrageous.

You say he is a Taoist, but he doesn't have the talent of the beasts and monsters of the immortal kings. But if you say he has average talent, he has a unique talent for sword-making.

So he is a natural... swordsman?
"Well, just go at your own pace."

When it comes to cultivating internal energy, everyone's talents and qualifications are different. This is why the same book of Qi refining passed down by Xuannv can give rise to the nine major mysterious schools.

Especially since the practice of sword energy is both fierce and sharp, and since Tiedan is still alive and well so far, Yue Peng really can't say too much.

Now it's Tiedan's turn to ask,

"Brother, these are yellow rats..."

"Yes, he is so big, yet he can hide underground and paint his skin, and use magic to confuse people. Isn't he a monster?"

Yue Peng glanced at the mess on the ground, which was all blurry flesh and blood, but he did not see the formed inner elixir.

"In the early years, Guangxia Mountain was occupied by this clan. There was also an old demon with a thousand-year-old cultivation entrenched here. He brought his descendants to cause trouble in all directions, cut off the Dui Kun Chi Road, and threatened the state government with offerings. When the Demon Palace sent troops to encircle and suppress them, they hid in the ravines. This place is full of mountains and deep forests, making it difficult for the army to move and difficult to guard against, and the harm is widespread.

Later, the master killed the beast with a single sword and took charge of the place.

These are their disciples, the fish that slipped through the net. They were not yet spirits, so they were let go and scattered. But after so many years, these monsters have grown up again, and are almost cultivating into human form. It seems that they have their own magic. Maybe the old monster is also a cunning rabbit with three burrows, and there are other caves hidden in the mountains. If we don’t kill them regularly and leave them alone, they will cause trouble sooner or later.”

Tiedan understood.

"Oh, patrolling the mountains..."

Isn't this your job, brother?

Being stared at by him, Yue Peng felt uncomfortable.
"What do you know? If you don't help me finish my job first, how can I have time to help you find the treasure for building your foundation?

Let's get back to the point. Have you decided which treasure to use to build your foundation?"

Tiedan had already read the book "Sword Forging Technique" a long time ago.
"Golden iron."

Yue Peng nodded. This kid had a sword bone and was a natural sword servant. He would refine the Shengang Golden Elixir, and naturally use the alchemy method to refine and purify the gold essence and black iron. The best ones would be natural treasures such as meteorites from outer space.

Suddenly, he discovered that Tiedan was still dissecting the corpse. He dug out a bunch of rat meat and eggs, wrapped them in cloth and planned to carry them on his back, like a squirrel collecting pine cones. Yue Peng also shook his head.
"Don't waste your energy. These demon pills are too messy. They won't be of much use unless they are refined in a pill furnace for ten years. But our Sword Sect doesn't have a pill furnace. If you send them to alchemists from other sects, they won't want such garbage, and they will have rotted by then. Just pick out the good ones and make soup with them. Just burn the rest."

Tiedan frowned, "Master Alchemist..."

"We don't have anyone who can make pills. Besides, there is only one high-concentration spiritual spring in the Guangxia Mountain, the Swallow Cave, which is specially used to place the sword-making furnace. There is no room for the pill furnace."

Yue Peng was too embarrassed to say more.

In fact, Guangxia Mountain is quite poor. And it's not just Yanzi Cave, the entire Beichen Sword Sect is very poor.

After all, there is such a saying in Xuanmen.

Alchemy will make three generations poor, sword making will ruin a sect.

If one wants to train a qualified alchemist, the sect must have at least three generations of disciples to support him. They must collect all kinds of natural treasures, raise livestock and gather them, and consume huge amounts of resources to raise a master of alchemy and leave a stable alchemy inheritance for the sect.

If you want to forge a flying sword, that is pure gamble. You really have to sacrifice the luck of the sect, consume countless resources, and refine and polish it for hundreds of years before you have a chance to start a pot. If the furnace explodes, then hundreds of years of hard work will be destroyed in an instant.

Of course, if one can really forge a flying sword, then one's luck will naturally increase greatly. The forged flying sword magic weapon can not only enhance the strength of the inner sect, but also trade other resources with major forces, thus becoming the top of the Xuanmen from then on.

But in this kind of situation, it is easy to understand that blessings and disasters are intertwined.

If someone snatches away the sword that I have worked so hard to refine, it will lead to the extermination of my entire family and even my own death.

Therefore, opening the furnace and taking the sword is indeed a great calamity for the sect, and a sect without any foundation cannot handle it at all.

Tiedan: "Then cast it?"

Yue Peng rolled his eyes.
"The swords in the furnace are not from Guangxia Mountain. The sword furnace in Yanzi Cave is specially used to temper swords. The swords in it are all sent by the sword immortal of this mountain.

Because the sword furnaces on Yuntai Peak of this mountain are now being used to forge swords, their Taoist meridians are being occupied.

If a sword master gets damaged in a duel, he will be sent to my Lingquan Sword Pond for polishing and maintenance. Master is just taking care of it for you."

When Tiedan heard this, he was secretly disappointed.

So poor...

Yue Peng saw what the boy was thinking and said quickly,
"No, don't be anxious! The elixir will be there, the flying sword will be there, everything will be there! The good days are still to come!

Come on! I'll take you to pick up the iron seeds!"

"... Picking? Isn't that digging?"

Tiedan frowned. If there was no alchemist to refine that kind of black iron gold essence, and if there was no money to buy it directly, wouldn't it usually have to be dug from the blessed land or the underground spiritual cave veins?

Yue Peng, "Hey, the gold ore is buried deep in the underworld, tens of thousands of miles underground, who has the time to dig it by hand? Senior Brother will help you pick up the ready-made ones!"
