Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 84 Corpse-Biting Sword, White Lotus Sect

Chen Xiuxian opened the auction house and searched for "Zombie Fang." Good heavens, there were over 800 pages of results!
Each page has 20 lines, and each line can hold a maximum of one group, which is 20 zombie teeth.

How many zombies did they have to fight?!

Chen Xiuxian quickly browsed through the listings and found that the auction house not only had zombie teeth, but also zombie canine teeth, as well as teeth from various other monsters.

In short, all teeth that can be included in the general term "zombie" are included here.

Of course, you can further subdivide and set conditions to find more detailed categories.

The Corpse Bites Sword requires 108 zombie teeth to forge, and the more different types, the better.

This flying sword is special; it's a unique type of flying sword. It's more like a sword formation.

I've heard that some cultivation sects in the south use spiritual bamboo to forge flying swords, but the quality of individual bamboo swords is quite poor, even inferior to ebony swords.

However, they can form sword formations, often with three, nine, or even one hundred and eight swords.

Once activated, it unleashes a rain of swords, each individually weak but collectively causing immense damage.

Furthermore, they can be combined to form sword formations, each with different functions and effects.

The only downside is that it's expensive.
The Corpse-Biting Sword is a similar case. It is a wicked flying sword made from 108 zombie teeth. It can be separated and combined at will.

Moreover, it is also covered with corpse poison, which can be layered on top of each other!
It belongs to an alternative type of flying sword that does not primarily deal direct damage, but rather deals damage through high-frequency additional attacks.

Of course, there are also downsides, namely that it is difficult to use this flying sword to fight people head-on.

If it encounters a really strong attack, it will instantly turn into a thousand blades of demonic energy!
I'll break it into 108 zombie teeth right here and now.

That means I can't use this flying sword for protection. It's not strong enough.

Furthermore, although it has many niche functions and features, it is also more complicated and difficult to operate.

Unless there is a matching "sword formation" and "flying needle" (flying needles are also a set of many) "sword techniques", it is not easy to control.

An average person would probably be able to control 108 corpse teeth in two or three waves to launch attacks from different angles.

However, this sword diagram also has an advantage: the refining time is short, only 7 days!
With all the materials ready, it only takes seven days! No wonder unorthodox practices are so fast!

Chen Xiuxian selected 13 different types of zombie teeth, collecting 108 in total.

The highest grade consists of six level 3 blue-quality corpse fangs.

【Flying Zombie Fang (Blue)】, 【Phantom Zombie Fang (Blue)】, 【Bronze Armor Zombie Fang (Blue)】.

Flying Zombie Fangs can increase the speed of the Corpse Bite Sword, with two Flying Zombie Fangs activating several times faster than the other Zombie Fangs.

The Phantom Zombie Fangs can reduce the sword light of the Corpse Bite Sword, and two of the Phantom Zombie Fangs can be launched invisibly, making them extremely insidious.

Copper Armor Corpse Fangs can increase the spell resistance penetration of the Corpse Bite Sword, and two of the Copper Armor Corpse Fangs can ignore 5 points of spell resistance to deal damage to enemies.

Tier 2 green quality corpse fangs were cheap; I bought over a hundred, ranging from jumping zombies and hairy zombies to zombie dogs, spending mostly silver. Each fang cost three or four taels.

Chen Xiuxian spent more than 6 spirit stones to acquire the six Tier 3 Corpse Fangs!
To forge the Corpse Biting Sword, you'll need other things, like jade blood and vengeful spirit ash.

It cost a total of 412 taels of silver and 32 spirit stones.

Of course, the biggest investment was actually the sword-forging diagram that was obtained through the trade.

This thing is probably worth fifty or sixty spirit stones.

……

In Chen Xiuxian's own bedroom, there was a small altar, one meter in diameter, enclosed by a purplish-red circle of blood.

In the center was the sword diagram, upon which were placed 108 zombie teeth, surrounded by five other materials...

It requires a blood sacrifice every night at midnight, each sacrifice costing 100 points of health, 200 points of mana, and 300 experience points.

In other words, even if an ordinary person obtains the sword diagram and gathers all the materials, they still cannot forge it.

An average person only has a couple hundred units of Qi and blood, and one night can leave them half-dead.

Not to mention they don't have any magical powers.

The experience points that NPCs possess would likely translate to things like Taoist cultivation or training levels.

A 7-night ritual requires 700 HP, 1400 MP, and 2100 experience points.

It's a small test; you can't train it if you're not strong enough!

Even while refining the Corpse-Biting Sword, Chen Xiuxian did not give up on the Ebony Sword.

In fact, he had already forged his ebony sword much earlier. Long before the system upgraded and the auction house appeared, Chen Xiuxian had sold a large number of materials and useless cards to raise spirit stones and buy enough ebony wood.

Then they began refining the ebony sword.

Forging an ebony sword is relatively simple and requires minimal effort. It's even quite foolproof!
Although ordinary people cannot refine it, if someone is a knight-errant or something similar who has cultivated internal energy or true qi, they can refine it after obtaining the sword diagram!
This is the difference between righteous flying swords and evil flying swords.

One requirement is complicated and time-consuming.

One of the materials is strange and short-lived, but it requires exchanging one's own vital energy and cultivation.

The ebony sword was started before the new year and will be finished in about half a month.

I should be able to forge two flying swords before that important figure from Shandong arrives!
The problem is that I only have two magic weapon slots. Even if I can control two flying swords well at the same time, the consumption will be considerable.

Moreover, the protective Vajra Umbrella can no longer be readily available.

—It's not that you can't use it, but you'd have to carry it on your back or hold it in your hand at all times, otherwise you definitely won't be able to react in time to emergencies.

Unlike the magical artifacts in the inventory, these are more like items that are always on your person, appearing and being activated at any time.

This has become a happy problem!
……

While Chen Xiuxian began refining the Corpse-Biting Sword, he also refined the Ebony Sword every day. In addition, he arranged for Wang Chuan and Li Huo to figure out other important targets of the Fated Path in Shencheng.

It's best to make some preparations beforehand for those four level 21+ Qi Refining Realm bosses so that you can kill them as soon as you make your move.

Only by eliminating these four people can I concentrate on dealing with the important figure from Shandong.

Over the past few nights, Chen Xiuxian has been collecting a lot of information about the Dao of Fate, obtaining a great deal of detailed intelligence, as well as snippets of information written by players who have personally experienced it.

This predestined relationship is strange, or rather absurd.

They formed a loosely organized group under the guise of folk beliefs.

Before the Wild Boar People launched a major uprising while attacking Liaodong, hardly anyone in Liaodong paid any attention to them.

On the surface, it's just a group of folk charlatans, sorcerers, witches, and magicians who connect with each other, sponsored by some wealthy people, and organized in the form of temple fairs and self-service sacrifices.

Although there are many believers, they are mostly farmers and people from the lower classes.

They don't have much fighting ability; their main purpose is to create a stir and attract attention.

The true fighting force of Youyuandao lies in its privately employed farmers, servants, and employees, as well as the sorcerers it cultivates to amass wealth through Youyuandao.

Their internal system is actually very strict, with official titles and ranks determined according to Buddhist, divine, and immortal positions.

That's right! It's that simple and unpretentious!
You are Buddha, he is Bodhisattva; you are Heavenly Ruler, he is Divine General…

This thing is pretty straightforward, and easy to fool people.

The so-called doctrines are roughly as follows:

Sixty thousand years ago, when the Empress Dowager ascended to heaven, ninety-six billion of her children were lost on earth. The "Path of Destiny" is meant to bring back those who were destined to be with the Empress Dowager.

Whoever enters the Tao will surely become the Empress Dowager's child; the one who enters the Tao first will be the master, and the one who enters the Tao later will be the disciple.

In the future, they will be led by masters and guides to heaven, to the Golden City, Silver City, and Cloud City, to share the joys of the heavenly palace and the blessings of the Buddhist temple with the Buddha. This is used to deceive the masses and trick people into joining the Tao.

Later, their rebellion in Liaodong failed, and after causing a ruckus, they were finally suppressed by the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Shun Dynasty.

It was only then that players learned that there was a Maitreya sect on the Path of Fate.

Those high-ranking members of the Daoist sect are all members of the Maitreya sect!
The Maitreya sect is a legitimate branch of the White Lotus sect, or rather, a disguise, or one of its avatars.

The White Lotus Sect may seem to exist everywhere, but it is actually quite broad.

Many people used the name of the White Lotus Sect to cause trouble; some were absorbed into it, while others were simply shifting blame.

Although they all have the same name, they are not subordinate to each other and are not related at all.

However, the White Lotus Sect is truly capable!

Some players, through a series of coincidences, joined the White Lotus Cult, specifically to rebel and cause trouble.

It is said that the White Lotus Sect has a set of "White Lotus Manuals"!
That's a level 6 orange-quality cultivation technique!

Moreover, it exists like an outline or a complete collection, with more than a dozen volumes, each containing different cultivation methods and spells, all of which are of a high level!
Later, the Jade Emperor's Heart Response Scripture, which was revealed by the Daoist sect, was the cultivation method in the sixth volume of the White Lotus Manual.

I don't know who got it, and no one has released any details about its effects.
