Chapter 433 Fifth-Rank Mid-Rank Swordsmith, Dry Spirit Demon Fire
Killing and war can quickly change a person's character and temperament, and the same is true for a sect.

The Shuiyun Sect is dominated by female cultivators. For thousands of years, it has been a sect that is not very keen on fighting martial arts and swords. Before they opened up the wilderness, there was no way to make things difficult for them, and no sect would make things difficult for them.

But it is different now. After thousands of years of evolution and development, the old situation where the master is weak and the servant is strong has emerged. The Flame Demon Sect, the Black and White Sword Sect, and the Red Sun Sect were all forces protected by the Shuiyun Sect back then, and now they all turn against each other.

When the interests are large enough, morality and friendship alone are not enough to limit.

Shuiyunzong, inside the Qingyu Ice Palace.

"Master Yun, this way please."

The real Liu Qingping, the patriarch of the Shuiyun Sect, personally led the way for Zhang Lie's alias Yun Feiyang. This is a tall and fit Taoist nun, wearing a high crown and holding a whisk, with a fortitude.

Master Ouyang of the Shuiyun Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and most of the sect's affairs, big or small, are presided over by real Liu Qingping, so he has great prestige.

"Fellow Daoist Yun was fully recommended by Junior Brother Luo Heng, so there is no need to compare skills. My sect is going to refine seven top-grade flying swords for seven real people this time, and it will take a lot of time. Have you handled your affairs properly? For a long time to come, you are probably going to live in this Qingyu Ice Palace."

Daoist Qingping is dignified and talkative, she said this with a smile.

"There are a few people in Xiayunyou Tianxia, ​​and there are not many things to deal with. During this period of time in the Qingyu Ice Palace, I have disturbed fellow Taoists."

When Zhang Lie spoke like this, most of the female champions around Master Qingping smiled politely and responded with a smile.

This is a matter of course. When you want to make a sword, you should be polite to the swordsmith. When looking for a spiritual doctor, you should be polite to the spiritual doctor. This is common sense.

Refining a fifth-tier flying sword is a lot of work, especially when the Zongmen is facing a war at this time, it is not unimportant to have a high-quality flying sword by its side.

Therefore, even if most of the female cultivators in Shuiyun Palace were rather cold-tempered, at this moment, few would dare to be polite to Yun Feiyang, Zhang Lie's pseudonym.

There was only one female nun in a blue palace dress and a tulle mask, who looked a little cooler, and it was revealed among the crowd at this moment.

"Then, let's not be too busy making flying swords, please let Master Yun stay in our Qingyu Ice Palace for a few days, and let my Shuiyun Palace show the kindness of a landlord."

At this time, a slightly obese middle-aged Taoist stood up from the side.

First he performed the ceremony, and then said with a smile:
"Sect Leader, Master Yun and I have been friends for many years, why not let me entertain Master Yun, live in my place, and take care of all aspects."

The person who spoke was the real Luo Heng who recommended Zhang Lie here.

Hearing this, Master Qingping hesitated a little and looked at Zhang Lie.

"Then, I'll trouble Master Luoheng."

"Hahaha, today I will drink with Fellow Daoist Yun all night long and have a good time."

Seeing Zhang Lie agreeing, Master Luo Heng laughed and said.

Then, after a welcoming feast, Master Luo Heng took Zhang Lie to his private cave.

Jindan Daoist's cave has a large area and many servants.

Living in the cave of acquaintances is indeed much more convenient and comfortable than living alone. The premise is that the relationship with the acquaintances is really good.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, the female cultivator next to Master Master today is Master Chen. How about it, is it so beautiful?"

When returning together, Master Luo Heng said with a smile like this.

"... No wonder this real person seems to be hostile to me. It turns out that the person Daoist Luo has surpassed is her. As for whether she is beautiful or not, I don't know. It makes my junior sister face a thousand miles away with a clear veil, and even more so. Besides, what does this have to do with me?"

"Hahahaha, my junior sister Chen is not only the best in appearance in the Shuiyun Sect, but also the best in swordsmanship. It's just because of her stunning appearance that I caused some trouble when I was traveling, in order not to provoke the sect. Entanglement, just covered the face with a clear veil to develop the current temperament, but Luomou guaranteed by the character, my sister Chen is definitely a good girl who cleans herself, and Brother Yun will know these in the future. "

The Shuiyun Sect has been in business for thousands of years and has a profound foundation. There are two Yuanying patriarchs and nineteen Jindan real people. This is what happens in a thousand-year-old sect.

When the vast majority of sects were established, the proportion of high-level monks was high, while the proportion of middle- and low-level monks was small. The reduction in the proportion of monks.

But high-level monks are the foundation and cornerstone of a sect:
How can a large sect occupy hundreds of thousands of miles of land and countless resources without a Nascent Soul cultivator?The way to bring disaster.

However, except for the exceptionally talented monks, the vast majority of immortal cultivators rely on a lot of resources to improve their cultivation, and if a sect has developed for thousands of years, there must have been countless intricate relationship networks within the sect, and the upward path is possible. It has been completely closed, and most of the resources are provided to the beneficiaries of these forces.

Cultivators who can really digest resources, it is difficult to obtain resources and promotion, and waste time, but monks who cannot really digest these resources are pushed to a high position that does not belong to them at the cost of huge resource consumption. The core reason for the rise and fall of sects.

Many high-level monks with wisdom can see through it, but they can only delay it, but cannot change it.

Because the internal logic here is human nature, and immortal cultivators are also human beings.

It is no small matter to use the resources reserves of the sect to refine the fifth-order flying sword. The Shuiyun Sect aims to maximize the benefits after consuming this precious resource.

After Zhang Lie lived in Luoheng's cave for seven days and received generous hospitality, he began to communicate with the seven Jindan real people selected by Shuiyunzong, and designed flying swords for the five female and two male seven Jindan real people.

It is not to start refining at the beginning, but to draw the shape of the sword and write out the related talisman diagram. After the two parties reach an agreement, it is necessary to hand it over to Shuiyun Sect Master Qingping Zhenren to measure the budget. Only after approval can we proceed. Refining the sword.

The skills of Zhang Lie's fifth-level low-rank swordsmith are not fake, especially he is good at swordsmanship, and the refining standard flying sword is slightly inferior, but tailor-made flying swords for monks can display the strongest swordsmanship of monks themselves.In this way, the level of its swordsmith can actually be raised to the middle grade.

Coupled with the experience accumulated during this period, Zhang Lie felt that if he refined seven fifth-level flying swords this time, it would not be impossible to be promoted to a fifth-level mid-level swordsmith, so he was extremely hardworking.

The monks of Shuiyunzong, including Master Luo Heng, always thought that Zhang Lie was a fifth-rank mid-level swordsmith, and his control of mana and spiritual fire were too subtle. The confidence to produce a fifth-level middle-grade flying sword is astonishingly high—of course, it is completely reasonable to refine a fifth-level flying sword with the mana control and spiritual acuity of the actual Nascent Soul realm, and the difficulty is greatly reduced. Zhang Lie himself has a strong foundation.

In Zhang Lie's view, the swordsmanship skills of most of the Jindan masters of Shuiyunzong are lackluster. Therefore, in the process of refining the flying sword, he gave some pointers from the actual combat point of view. Daoist Jindan is sincerely convinced and accepts teachings with an open mind.

Most of the time, he practiced the sword completely according to Zhang Lie's own wishes, to maximize the potential of these Jindan real people.

In the process, Zhang Lie also verified the words of Master Luo Heng.

This Chen Zhenren is indeed the one with the strongest swordsmanship talent and cultivation base among the seven Jindan monks of Shuiyunzong, but her subjective tendency is too strong.

In two months, Zhang Lie completed the design drawings of the flying swords of the other six monks, and obtained approval from Master Qingping. Only this Master Chen could not come to an agreement. .

This real Chen is more willing to follow his own way of thinking, and because Zhang Lie wants to use this sword training to break through to the realm of a fifth-level middle-grade sword refiner, he is unwilling to give in and waste his time and opportunity.

"Your swordsmanship is already too clever and changeable, and the damage is not enough. What you need to do now is to make up for your shortcomings, not to further improve the concealment effect."

In the Sapphire Ice Palace, in the sword refining room, Zhang Lie held the blueprints in his hand, but it was still difficult to talk and communicate.

The flying sword that this real Chen is about to refine has a harmonious energy, which is between existence and non-existence. It belongs to the method of refining invisible swords.

It is more in line with the Taoism of Shuiyun Palace, and defeats the enemy with change and concealment.

The flying sword Zhang Lie designed for him is deep and heavy, with fine sawtooth on one side of the blade, and a special talisman structure inside the sword body, which spirally penetrates all kinds of magic weapons. Coupled with Chen Xuan'er's own swordsmanship, as long as she gets used to it, it will definitely be more unexpected and amazingly powerful than flying swords like invisible swords.

"Although the flying sword designed by Fellow Daoist Yun is good, it doesn't suit my own temperament and Taoism. If I refine the sword completely according to what Fellow Daoist wants, is it still a flying sword made for me?"

"The flying sword I refine can definitely kill the enemy and protect the lord, and protect the safety of the sword holder to the greatest extent. This is the reason of my sword. Forgive your request, I cannot obey."

"Your requirements for refining swords are more suitable for refining flying needles, but this is not what I am good at."

There are very few monks who can refine such high-level "yin tools" flying needles. The requirements for materials, skills, and spiritual power are really too high, because the more high-level monks , the rarer the flying needle magic weapon, once it appears, it is often well-known.

Because this kind of magic weapon is usually refined by Nascent Soul or even a cultivator of Huashen, and then bestowed on the disciples to defend themselves and protect the Dao, the power is not very powerful.

This time, the negotiation ended in discord between the two parties.

It is not yet time to finalize the draft, and Zhang Lie still needs time to perfect the detailed design of these flying swords. Flying sword, the actual combat power is definitely not as good as the one I designed, it looks good but it doesn't work.

On this day, Zhang Lie and his disciples Yun Mengyao and Zhu Yuxin perfected the detailed design of the flying sword and the structure of the talisman array in the study, which is also a kind of practice for his own swordsmanship.

Ordinary monks have limited energy and experience. They either become swordsmiths or are proficient in swordsmanship. It is not easy to reach a certain level in one of them. However, Zhang Lie has reached a very high level in both aspects, so the sword theory is interoperable. , enhance each other.

At this time, a young Taoist boy approached, and outside the study, he activated the talisman to give a reminder.

"come in."

"Renren Yun, my master invites you to the family banquet tonight, do you have time?"

During this period of time, the relationship between Zhang Lie, Master Luo Heng, and his Taoist companion Su Weiniang was extremely harmonious, so it was not easy to refuse.

"Tell Master Luo Heng that Yun will definitely go tonight."

Hearing this, the young Taoist boy bowed deeply, and then retreated.

After the Taoist boy left, Yun Mengyao and Zhu Yuxin's figures changed, from virtual to real, and reappeared.The three continued to study and discuss the performance design of these flying swords.

At night, Zhang Lie went to the banquet.

But this time it was a little different from the past, the real Luo Heng was not present, only Su Weiniang, the hostess, was sitting in the chair.

"Renren Yun, my husband left temporarily due to a mission in the sect, and things happened in a hurry. I am really sorry."

Although Su Weiniang has a hot personality in the boudoir, she is extremely virtuous and dignified in front of others. Zhang Lie has met her several times and respects her very much.

"It's okay, then I will take my leave first."

"How can we let Daoist Yun make this trip for nothing, not to mention that I invited Junior Sister Chen tonight. Don't you guys have some disagreements about the design of Feijian? Then let's talk about it at today's banquet, and I will help Think of ways to get the best of both worlds."

Su Weiniang herself is also a Jindan real person. Although she has devoted herself to caring for her husband and children and has ignored the affairs of the sect for many years, the situation in Shuiyun Palace has become increasingly difficult these years. Su Weiniang has no choice but to gradually show up again. Come forward.

"Uh, well, how can I waste my sister-in-law's efforts in vain?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lie didn't insist anymore, but entered the banquet. After a while, Chen Xuan'er, who was dressed in a blue palace dress and a gauze mask, also arrived.

When she saw Zhang Lie, Chen Xuan'er was also taken aback for a moment, but she had a deep personal relationship with Su Weiniang, so she didn't say much, and still walked into the banquet.

"Xuan'er, this is your favorite nine-grained spirit fish. I just received it with great difficulty. You can try it."

"Renren Yun, this is Yang Family's Fire Spirit Wine. It tastes strong and mellow. My husband has kept it for many years. You should try it too."

At the banquet, Mrs. Luo had elegant long sleeves, she didn't mention the matter of Feijian refining at all, she just teased Yun Feiyang and Chen Xuan'er together.

Those present are all Jindan real people who have lived for hundreds of years. Although Mrs. Luo did not do it obviously, if there is nothing, but gradually both of them feel it.

It was impossible for Chen Xuan'er to wear a veil while eating, her pretty face flushed.

Zhang Lie felt a bit dumbfounded. Logically speaking, a casual cultivator should not be taken seriously. Because of the practice of Shuiyun sect, female cultivators are often beautiful, and they will use this to attract many high-level cultivators to enter the sect. But Chen Xuan'er is considered to be the top in the Shuiyun Sect no matter her appearance or her cultivation level. Given the right opportunity, it is enough for such a female cultivator to be the concubine of the Yuanying Patriarch.

Zhang Lie really didn't expect that Luo Heng and his wife would match him and each other.

The banquet ended in an awkward atmosphere.

"It's getting dark, Fellow Daoist Yun go and see Junior Sister Chen off. Even if you disagree with Junior Sister Chen, you still have the attitude that a man should have."

What Su Weiniang said was quite meaningful.

After the two left, Master Luo Heng came out from the shadow in the cave, came to the long table, picked up the Yang family fire spirit wine that he couldn't bear to drink with some distress, and found that there was really not a drop left, sighed a long time Tone, just let go.

"Didn't you always disapprove of me matching up Fellow Daoist Yun and Junior Sister Chen, why are you more active than me now?"

"Because I'm really good for Junior Sister Chen, and you hate Junior Sister Chen and want to push her out as soon as possible. Do you think I don't know about your petty thoughts?"

"I originally thought that with Junior Sister Chen's character and appearance, it would be more than enough to be matched with a Nascent Soul cultivator. In addition, Junior Sister Chen herself has always had many suitors, so I have never been in a hurry. But now Zong The door is precarious, how can it be so easy to meet a Nascent Soul cultivator with a clean background and a suitable heart? A Nascent Soul cultivator who has practiced for a thousand years will not easily be a woman, with the Red Sun Sect Nanli Zhenjun, the Black and White Sword Sect Sun Moon Those who make these people enemies."

"At this time, I am not too picky. A promising swordsmith is also good. During this period of time, I carefully consulted the other senior brothers and sisters who have intercourse with him. They all think that this fellow Daoist Yun has a profound background. In the future, there is a good chance of being promoted to a high-rank swordsmith. Whether it is a casual cultivator, or a casual cultivator, if the sect encounters difficulties in the future, he is more likely to take Chen Junior Sister away."

"...Even if you wander around the world, it's better than staying with us and dying with the sect."

Seeing his wife's expression was a bit sad, Master Luo Heng walked up, hugged his wife gently in his arms, and said comfortingly:
"Things haven't developed to that point yet. With the presence of Patriarch Ouyang and the concerted efforts of all senior brothers and sisters, the situation has not yet developed to the point of irreversibility."

"I was born here, grew up here, and will die here in the future. Husband, I have nothing to regret to have you and Linger by my side in this life. Alas, it's a pity that Linger's husband is also stubborn. The abilities of the two can always send them away..."

At this time in the Qingyu Ice Palace, Zhang Lie and Chen Xuan'er were walking side by side, and Zhang Lie lived in the mansion of Master Luo Heng, so it was not easy to turn back at this time.

Coupled with what Mrs. Luo said just now, the atmosphere between the two is a little delicate.

"Okay, Brother Yun, just send it here, my residence is in front." Chen Xuan'er didn't cover her veil again at this time, she nodded slightly and her face flushed.

Even Zhang Lie, who used to serve countless concubines and read the most beautiful people, can't help but feel a little shaken when he sees such a touching expression of his little daughter at this moment.

Because Mrs. Luo was so shy about the unfinished meaning in her words just now, it seems that this real Chen has been practicing pure and penance for hundreds of years, with very little experience.

"Then Reverend Chen, please do as you please, I will take my leave now."

Because there were countless concubines in the past, and because he had important things to do during this trip, Zhang Lie would not really waste his mind on these things.

After a little ceremony, I said goodbye and left.

The Sapphire Ice Palace has air-forbidden mana. Although it is not impossible to fly away, this process is to fight against the power of the entire formation, so there is no need to do so.

"Master, this Daoist Chen is beautiful and dignified, so he can be included in the room. With Master's cultivation level, there is only Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Bai is too few." There are countless experiences in cultivation, and most of them are wives and concubines in groups. Therefore, Yun Mengyao in the Taiyin Banner passed on the chanting like this to defend her master.

Compared with ordinary people, perhaps the obsession and desire of immortal cultivators will only be stronger, never less, otherwise it will be difficult for them to reach their own heights!
"We have important things to do, so we don't have much to worry about"

Before he could say the last word, Zhang Lie was stunned suddenly, then turned around abruptly, and the next moment, his figure was already rushing straight away.

It wasn't very far away, Zhang Lie's escape was fast, and he soon saw that Chen Xuan'er, who had just separated from him in the hidden place in the palace, among the trees, was shrouded in flying flames. He was already doing his best to resist, but the flames that contained astonishing power were still under the cover of rapid oppression.

Being attacked, of course it wasn't Chen Xuan'er who wanted to hide in the corner of the palace, but because she was suppressed by her opponent and had no choice but to retreat here.

It shows that the opponent's cultivation base is far higher than hers, if it is not necessary to conceal, she has already been restrained.

"Qian Ling Huo Yuan Gong, the Red Sun Sect Nanli Zhenjun, he actually sneaked into this Qingyu Ice Palace."

Nanli Zhenjun's skill is pure, controlling the flame while suppressing Chen Xuan'er, he can control the power almost without any leakage, but Zhang Lie cultivates the Haotian Dharma, his spiritual perception ability is far higher than that of Jindan Border monk.

You can hide it from the controlling power of Jindan Daoist cultivator, but you can't hide it from him.

"If I allow Chen Xuan'er to be captured by him, even if Shui Yunzong won't capture me, they will definitely be more vigilant towards me. Then the half a year's hard work will be in vain!"

As his thoughts changed, Zhang Lie had already made up his mind, and his originally peaceful temperament suddenly changed, and a domineering aura burst out suddenly.

Walk on blood, cross the world, hold a sword in hand, and fight with no one!
A monk's sword intent does not mean that he can have whatever he wants, it must be the condensation and summary of his life experience.

Therefore, Zhang Lie's sword intent soared into the sky, and as soon as he attacked, Zhenjun Nanli, who was attacking Chen Xuan'er, was startled in horror.

He suddenly turned around and attacked with a palm.

Zhenjun Nanli was dressed in a red robe, with red hair and beard all over his head. When he made a move, he exuded a violent aura from the inside out to the surroundings.

Zhenjun Nanli was not born with red hair. This was the change in appearance after he combined the strengths of the Flame Demon Sect and the Red Sun Sect to create the Qianlinghuo Yuan Gong.

But these prices are really worth it. Qianlinghuo Yuangong is infinitely powerful and helps him cultivate into a real Nascent Soul. After a hundred years of cultivation, although he is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, the Shuiyun Sect that has been suppressed cannot lift his head.

Flames were flickering and lingering around Zhenjun Nanli, and twelve bowl-sized fireballs were running steadily in front of and behind him according to a certain pattern of formation.

At this moment, a palm blasted out, and the red flame pierced through the air. The momentum was extremely fierce and the speed was extremely fast. Where the ground flame passed by, a deep and long scorched black mark was rippled on the ground, one foot wide, fully thirty feet long Long, this red flame strike is very fierce.

Facing the monks who are humane Nascent Souls, Zhang Lie Jindan can kill the Nascent Souls at the first level. The combat power of the two sides is actually [-]-[-]%. Zhang Lie didn't have the ability to single-handedly kill Nanli Zhenjun who was on the third floor of the authentic Nascent Soul.

But when the human sword joined, he dodged suddenly. Zhang Lie's sword flashed, and he floated a foot away in an instant, avoiding the blow of the red flame.

"Qianlinghuo Yuangong is following a path similar to my innate stellar qi. It gathers a mouthful of pure vitality and mana with a single body cultivation base. It is extremely overbearing and breaks through ten thousand spells at once. If there is no good time, it cannot be resisted."

Fighting in an instant, Zhang Lie made an accurate judgment. Zhang Lie successively performed the art of combining human swords, sword energy and thunder sound, the sword light tore through the atmosphere, and his figure flickered.

At the same time, the defensive prohibition alarm system of the entire Qingyu Ice Palace was fully activated because of the battle here.

"Who? How dare you invade my Shuiyunzong Mountain Gate?"

"Enemy attack!"

The aura of the entire Qingyu Ice Palace was so strong that Zhenjun Nanli was stunned for a moment. He thought it was something that could be easily grasped, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

It was at this moment that Zhang Lie seized the opportunity, and at the same time, a whisper suddenly sounded in Chen Xuan'er's mind: "Sword!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan'er was in a state of confusion, and without thinking much, she and her companion who came to her side drew their swords together.

But after drawing the sword, she just realized that Zhenjun Nanli's Qianling Demon Fire is so overbearing that it cannot be resisted head-on, especially since the two of them are not as powerful as each other.

But what Chen Xuan'er didn't expect was that the sword light that she and Yun Feiyang attacked could firmly suppress the Qianling Demon Fire summoned by Zhenjun Nanli.

At this moment, the existence has been exposed, and Zhenjun Nanli used all his strength without hesitation. The raging fire wave surged out with his body as the center. After the expansion moved forward, soon, he was forcibly suppressed back under the sword tactics of himself and the Taoist beside him.

Chen Xuan'er first stared at her flying sword in astonishment, and then she came to her senses and looked at Yun Feiyang beside her in astonishment.
