Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 21 Treasure
Man-made objects with talismans stamped on them usually accumulate spiritual energy, and when necessary, they can be immediately sacrificed through oral formulas and mental methods to unleash the power of Taoist magic. These props are usually called magic tools.

And over a long period of time, something that has been created through the fortune of heaven and earth, or meticulously crafted and forged with untransmitted secret methods, is eventually transformed into a spirit that can communicate with humans through spiritual consciousness, or even cultivate into a human spirit. This is called a magic weapon, a treasure, or simply a "thing."

Originally, it did not exist between heaven and earth. It was through human beings, using acquired methods, that they forged the materials of heaven and earth and made tools and objects.

This is the secret skill of the Immortal Palace that is not passed on to outsiders.

Refining weapons.

The process of refining equipment is too complicated to be discussed here, but when it comes to magic weapons, a common misunderstanding among casual practitioners is that they think magic weapons are infinitely powerful and can protect against disasters, so naturally the more the better.

This is not the case.

Although you have to fight with others, you can always win with a powerful magic weapon and get twice the result with half the effort. And if you break through in your practice, you can use your life magic weapon to resist the calamity of heavenly thunder and the danger of death.

Therefore, throughout history, the rich have spared no expense to create exquisite treasures, forge and refine them, and collect natural materials and treasures to upgrade these artifacts. Flying swords are the ultimate product of this type of combat magic weapon. The poor have also spared no expense to fight for various ancient artifacts, killing people and causing rivers of blood.

but,

Once the spirit of an object is born and can be used to ward off disasters, it means that these "objects" can also survive disasters and become practitioners.

Yes, in this Tai Chi world, if you give birth to a spirit of weapon, you can also practice and break through, achieve enlightenment and ascend.

If you really count them carefully, there are countless magical treasures that have been recorded in history throughout the ages, and they have been fought over and worshipped by various famous sects, but there are only a few supreme beings who have truly attained enlightenment and become saints.

So in the final analysis, is it the cultivator who is using this magic weapon to overcome the calamity, or is it the magic weapon that is using the cultivator to ward off disaster?

Of course, as long as you practice together, there must be a master and a servant.

If you have extra energy for cultivation and have extra materials, then you can cultivate yourself while upgrading your magic weapon, become each other's Taoist companions, cultivate together, and overcome difficulties together. This is naturally the best virtuous cycle.

But if the two sides are not in an equal relationship, or if the magic weapon is too strong, the spirit of the weapon may secretly influence the mind of the cultivator with the secret magic of the Yuanshen, and manipulate him into a puppet, a flesh puppet that is dedicated to finding natural treasures and strengthening the body for himself. Especially those fighting magic weapons, such as the bloodthirsty magic knife and the killing sword, which confuse the master and kill and drink blood indiscriminately, are the most common situation.

Of course, the capable monks in famous sects simply look down on those rubbish magic weapons. They directly wipe out their spiritual consciousness, refine them again, or seal them with restrictions, turning them into ordinary props given to disciples by the sect for self-defense. This is the most common situation.

So Tiedan should be clear in his mind. How can a poor boy like him, who is penniless and has trouble getting resources for cultivation, be qualified to control a real magic weapon?
If the golden pot was just an ordinary magic weapon, or a low-grade spiritual object without spiritual consciousness, it would be fine. The best gold material can indeed be called his opportunity, whether it is used, re-refined, or handed over to the sect, or exchanged for other resources.

But no one would have expected that this wine jug had developed intelligence as great as that of an adult!
And it's not a childish spiritual consciousness like a child! Judging from the other party's speech, he is already like an adult man, with an adult spirit!
You have to know that the growth rate of the spiritual intelligence of magic weapons is extremely slow, and it is absolutely incomparable to that of humans. It may take four or five hundred years for a magic weapon to be refined into a spirit, but it is still as mentally retarded as a naughty child. And there are also many magic weapons that take thousands of years to transform into humans.

Therefore, those weapon souls that have clear logic, complete consciousness, and can even sense the outside world and choose their own masters are probably all ancient divine objects with a history of tens of thousands of years! Old monsters that have been in the martial arts world for a long time!
There is even a possibility that he was some old demon who had died and disappeared! He had left his soul and was living in the magic weapon, waiting for the "predestined person to recognize him as the master". In fact, he was planning to use it to ward off disasters, or even to secretly take over the body!
Yes, this method of using magic weapons as disguise to seize the bodies of the sons of royal families and noble families is the most common "immortal treasure jump" routine.

After all, how many of the guys who have obtained such divine objects and immortal fate would show the treasures to the sect leaders for inspection? They all hide them, and in the end, they are replaced without knowing it, and they don’t even know how they died.

Therefore, no matter which possibility it was, Tiedan had no power to fight back, so of course he avoided it! How could he dare to get entangled with that thing any longer?
If he touches it a second time, it would be considered greedy!
Of course, there is another possibility.

It is the spirit or primordial soul in the magic weapon. Just like what is written in novels, it may be a kind-hearted old grandfather, or a quirky girl, or a righteous man who keeps his promise.

In short, it can lead you into the Tao, can help you practice, at least, it can make friends with you and stay with you forever...

But every time Tiedan thought about this, Yuan Niang's voice would ring in his ears.
Just give up on that idea. No one in this world will treat you well.

"Where have you been these past two days, kid?"

Tiedan came to his senses and looked up to see Senior Brother Yue jumping down from the treetop where his iron sword and Taoist robe were hidden. It was obvious that he had been waiting for him there.

"Morning, Senior Brother."

Seeing that it was already dawn, Tiedan stood up and brushed off the dust on his hands.

"How is it? What's the opportunity? What treasure did you pick up..."

Yue Peng took a closer look, no, there was no Dabao at all. Tiedan's body was torn and bloody, covered with dried blood scabs and mud, and he looked like a beggar who had been beaten. He immediately put his hand on the boy's shoulder, and tried to probe his Qi. He felt that his Qi had sunk into the sea, and his inner scene was empty. His true Qi had been exhausted.

Looking at his left arm again, it was hanging limply at his side, his meridians were blocked, his tendons were broken and fractured, and there was a clearly visible fist mark on his shoulder. It was obvious that the punch was aimed at his heart, and his whole body was almost shattered. It was clearly a fierce battle and a narrow escape. His voice immediately turned cold.

"what happened."

"It's okay, I sneaked into the Shi family, got beaten up, and thrown into a mass grave." Tiedan didn't want his brother to worry, so he explained a few words casually, wiped his face, and changed into Taoist robes.

Yue Peng also knew that this junior fellow was a quiet and taciturn person, and he didn't even cry out even after being beaten like this.

But he had been in the city for the past two days and had heard some rumors. After listening to the historian, he could guess a general idea. He immediately narrowed his eyes, took out a lotus leaf bag from his bosom and handed it over.

"That fire the night before yesterday... Never mind. Was it the Shi family that bullied you?"

"fine."

Tiedan opened the lotus leaf package and saw two cold buns inside. He was also very hungry, so he took them and started to eat them.

Yue Peng laughed.
"Okay, Shijia, then it's Shijia. Let's go."

Tiedan was eating a bun and followed him subconsciously. Suddenly he realized that this was the wrong road. He looked up and saw the man standing in front of him.

Why did it turn back again...

"This is it?"

Yue Peng pointed at the historian's plaque and asked.

Tiedan nodded.

Seeing the two beggars gesticulating and showing an offensive attitude, the butler at the door immediately frowned, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over with two knife-wielding guards. But before they could open their mouths, Yue Peng had already drawn the sword in his arms.

"division……"

Tiedan wanted to pull his brother's sleeve, but failed. Yue Peng had already thrown the wooden sword out. With a flick of his wrist and a pinch of sword formula, the wooden sword suddenly spun and turned into a shining purple crystal sword in the air, like thunder, like a mysterious mirror, and like a prism reflecting sunlight, slanting the sword light out.

So the butler at the gate, the assassins on the corner tower, the servants holding knives and swords, and the soldiers wielding bows and crossbows, one by one, had no time to react before the purple sword shadow shone on their throats. The next moment, blood flashed, and rows of heads rolled down from their necks. The next second, a waterfall of blood burst out, like a sunset glow blooming from the horizon.

Tiedan was stunned.

Yue Peng pinched his sword gesture and flicked his fingers.
"Kill them all."

Then, the purple crystal flying sword, like a hound that had received an order, flashed purple lightning and then turned into an arc of light, shining directly into the mansion. The purple light was shining, and the sword shadow was dazzling. Silently, as the light and shadow flashed, heads fell to the ground one after another, and the overwhelming blood energy slowly spread.

Yue Peng did not delay. He stepped over the gates, over the skulls strewn all over the ground, stepped on the pool of blood, walked through the main gate of the Shi Mansion and went straight in.

Tiedan reacted and followed him all the way while eating a cold steamed bun. The two of them walked a bloody path on the white marble floor tiles.

"Killing people is actually very simple. You just tell your sword where to go and how many people to kill, and it will cut off the heads and bring them to you."

Yue Peng also knew that this junior brother had probably developed a habit of never asking for help, so he simply taught him while walking.

“But brandishing swords and beheading with flying swords are only inferior sword techniques.

I, Beichen Sword Sect, perform the Nine Stars, refine the Seven Stars, and take the way of controlling the sword as the most important. The true sword scripture has four levels of changes: rainbow, light, shadow, and rainbow. What I am using now is the first level of the "Nine Stars Sword Scripture Purple Cloud Divine Sword", "Sui Xing Sword Shadow".

The secret of this style is to use the sword as the skeleton, the Qi as the mirror, and borrow the power of the Nine Stars to reflect the shadow of Jupiter with the Zixia Sword. With the blessing of the stars, the true power of the sword can be exerted naturally. Demons will be frightened away, and even gods and Buddhas will be unable to stop them.

Of course, what you are practicing is the Shengang Sword Qi. You still have to wait until you receive the sword from your master to learn the proper sword manual. However, the Sword Shadow Secret Technique is actually very similar and not difficult. You can both forge swords and control swords, so you should be able to use them now.

If you encounter a strong enemy next time, just borrow the power of Taibai Star."

Yue Peng stopped and pointed to the eastern sky, the morning star hanging high in the east.

"That's the one. It's called Taibai in the morning and Changgeng in the evening. It's easy to find.

As long as we have a sword in our hands, the stars are hanging in the sky. In this world, no one can be a match for our Sword Sect."
