Journey to the head

Magical weapons are treasures that have entered a completely new stage. They are completely different from magical weapons and spiritual weapons, and their refining is also very special.

When a magic weapon is finished, it can only be called an embryo, and all its properties have not been activated. If a cultivator uses it directly, he can only throw it or produce some basic spiritual changes, which is useless.

At this time, the master of the embryo needs to sacrifice his heart and blood and nourish his spiritual energy. In this process, the connection between the embryo and the master will become closer day by day, and it will constantly adapt to the master's spiritual strength, spiritual root attributes and spiritual power flow characteristics, and will be firmly marked with the master's spiritual imprint.

In this process, the monks are choosing magic weapons, and the magic weapons are also choosing the monks. If the attributes of the monk and the embryo are not compatible, it will be extremely difficult to successfully perform the ritual, and the magic of the magic weapon will be difficult to be stimulated. It will be purely a dull thing.

Not until the ritual is completely successful, the embryo's brilliance is revealed, and all its magical features are fully stimulated and taken shape, will it become a real magic weapon.

The process of this ritual is directly related to the cultivator's cultivation, the characteristics of the magic weapon, the degree of compatibility between the cultivator and the magic weapon, etc. It can take as little as one or two years or as much as more than ten years.

Therefore, after a finished magic weapon is seized, it is often difficult for cultivators to use it. Even if it is re-refined and the original owner's spiritual imprint is removed, this magic weapon was nurtured by the original owner, and its characteristics cannot be fully adapted to oneself.

In other words, this magic weapon has taken on the shape of its original owner. You can use it, but it won't be as comfortable as the original owner.

Only a very small number of people with good luck who happen to have a perfect match, or whose magic weapon itself is special, can unleash more than 90% of its power.

It is difficult for strangers to use it, and it is difficult to extract good materials after recycling, so the finished magic weapon is difficult to sell at a high price in the market.

The magic weapons in the Yunshan sect’s treasury currently include: Qiming Lingjun’s Taibai Tongxin Ball, Feng Feng Zhenren’s Baiji Huiling Ruyi and Liuli Qinghong Mirror, as well as Lingyin Zhenren and Yuhu Zhenren, a total of six magic weapons.

But among these magic weapons, only Baiji Huiling Ruyi is special, which has no requirements on the spiritual root attributes and spiritual power characteristics of the owner, and can be used after re-refining. The others are either not very compatible with Lu Qian and Wu Yan, or Lu Qian simply thinks that the value is average and not worth spending effort on.

Now, under the guidance of the Tao brothers, Yunshan Sect can also refine magic weapon embryos. But the Tao brothers are only at the foundation-building stage after all. Even with the support of high-level spiritual veins, advanced refining equipment, rare materials and Yunshan Sect's strong financial resources, and with the support of the "Wanlian Dianjin Miaofa" method and the "Baoqi Zhenjian" drawings, they can refine magic weapon embryos, but the success rate and quality cannot be guaranteed.

The successful refining of the Ming Snake Taoist Soldier Unit-01 consumed five times the normal amount of materials, and Lu Qian went all out to infuse it with his Jindan-level spiritual consciousness, completing the first meridian opening, energy supply, connection, nuclear fusion, and transformation. This allowed the Ming Snake Taoist Soldier to develop fighting instincts and basic intelligence similar to those of wild beasts, and could move freely by absorbing spiritual energy from spiritual veins.

At present, the overall strength of this Unit-01 fluctuates between the early and middle stages of the Golden Core.

Under such circumstances, although they had already started preparing golden elixir magic weapons for Lu Qian and Wu Yan, they only successfully refined four embryos, and the highest was only mid-level.

Lu Qian and Wu Yan had just successfully advanced and had not had time to practice the rituals, but now Lord Miaomiao Xuan was unusually generous and rewarded each of them with two top-grade instrument embryos!
In this way, the Yunshan Sect's own refining products that were originally prepared can be put away in the bottom of the box.

There is a huge difference between top-grade magic weapons and mid-grade magic weapons. The former are in short supply and are very rare even in the Plum Blossom Market. If they do appear, the price can be raised to about ten times that of a mid-grade magic weapon.

Lu Qian was even wondering whether the four top-grade magic weapon embryos were obtained from the eighteen treasure ships rewarded by Taiyi Paradise.

These embryos do not have names yet, and will be named after Lu Qian and Wu Yan refine them into magic weapons.

The two weapon embryos given to Lu Qian were a mirror and a tower, both of which were auxiliary magic weapons.

The mirror has the functions of delaying, breaking illusions, removing delusions, revealing, tracking, etc. It can also clear the mind, calm the heart, and help the owner adjust the state. From this perspective, it is beneficial for overcoming the inner demon calamity and forming a Nascent Soul.

When the tower attacks the enemy, it has the effects of binding, immobilizing, and suppressing. When used on oneself, it can protect the body and resist attacks. It is a versatile person who can use both external and internal skills.

It is estimated that Miaomiao Xuanjun felt that as a formation cultivator, Lu Qian did not need any offensive magic weapons, so he selected these two items for him, which were more in line with Lu Qian's wishes.

The two instrument blanks given to Wu Yan were one silk and one wheel, shining brightly and very suitable for female practitioners.

The silk can be changed in length as desired, can bind, immobilize, protect, and block, it has many changes, can attack or defend, and is very flexible.

The wheel is a purely offensive magic weapon. It is crescent-shaped, extremely sharp, extremely fast, and can pierce the air silently and break through the clouds without leaving a trace.

At present, the attributes of Wu Yan's spiritual roots have not been fully revealed. Judging from the limited information, most people believe that she has a water-attributed spiritual root.

The four magic weapon embryos all have many magical features. It is time-consuming and laborious to successfully refine them. It is estimated that it will take several years of hard work.

So from this perspective, when the golden elixir is just being promoted and the magic weapon is not yet formed, it is the time when the golden elixir master is the weakest.

After reading the list of commendations, Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng talked for a while.

Senior Sister Qingfeng recalled something: "Junior brother and Xiaoyan have achieved the Golden Core, the Spirit Beast Sect has also made friends with them, and the Xuanwei Sect has given them a favorable reward. They are on the verge of a raging fire. But recently, the disciples have been discussing one thing, and the voices are getting louder and louder, and it has even reached me."

Facing Lu Qian's puzzled look, Jiang Qingfeng continued, "Many disciples believe that our sect has already taken root in Cangzhou and has surpassed previous generations in terms of grandeur. After all, Yunshan is only the homeland of Qingzhou, thousands of miles away from here. Whether from a geographical or career perspective, it may be time to change the name and generation."

"It is said that we should take advantage of the opportunity of the Pill Formation Conference to re-establish a new sect and enshrine you as the founding leader."

"Asshole!" Lu Qian's face darkened. "The sect's inheritance has its own order. How can we talk nonsense about the hard work of our ancestors?"

"So, Junior Brother doesn't agree?" Jiang Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

There are now 1,200 disciples in the Yunshan Sect, and there are less than ten Yunshan elders who really came from Qingzhou. The rest of the disciples are natives of Cangzhou, and their impression of their hometown of Yunshan is only from the teachings and educational textbooks of several elders. It is indeed exciting to think that one day they can take back their ancestral bloodline, but on the other hand, they don’t have much persistence.

Although Jiang Qingfeng had confidence in Lu Qian, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous when hearing such a loud voice.

Lu Qian said in a deep voice: "You can tell all the disciples not to discuss it anymore. Taking back the ancestral vein and revitalizing the mountain sect is our sect's long-cherished wish. The name Yunshan Sect is both a legacy and an inspiration."

"All disciples should be vigilant and hardworking, and never forget the shame of destroying our sect in the past. Work hard to make Yunshan famous among the world!"

The name change itself could be just a casual discussion, but behind it, it clearly revealed the impetuous and proud mentality of some disciples, which was something Lu Qian didn't want to see.

The reform of the Yunshan School must be carried out as soon as possible.

After chatting for a few more words, the elder sister suddenly asked, "Junior brother, have you decided on your Taoist name?"

Lu Qian shook his head: "I have only just sorted out everything since I succeeded in forming the elixir. I don't have time to think about this."

"Xiao Lin mentioned it to me." Jiang Qingfeng said with a smile, "The disciples are all busy rebuilding Mianlong Mountain, otherwise they would definitely report it actively and come up with a bunch of Taoist names for you to choose from."

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Lu Qian thought of Gu Nishang, who was pale, and loosened his arms around his senior sister slightly.

"Why not? According to convention, it is announced to the world at the Pill Formation Conference and widely spread." Senior Sister's cheek pressed against Lu Qian's chest. "Even if you don't want to, Xiaoyan's Taoist name has to be chosen by you, the master."

"Then I'll think about it again."

Lu Qian's attitude was perfunctory, but Senior Sister Qingfeng was not going to let him go: "I'll think of one for you, okay?"

Lu Qian blinked his eyes, and hesitated for a long time about the word "I plan to" but didn't say it out loud.

A happy and expectant smile appeared on the face of the senior sister: "Let me name you this time, and when our children are born in the future, you can give them a name."

June 1, the 406th year of Jiashen.

On Mianlong Mountain, there was a golden and red scene. Golden flags and bright red ribbons fluttered high in the air under the influence of talismans, and looked down from the sky, dazzling and warm.

The buildings in the mountains have long been renovated, and the originally overly dense forests have also been repaired, allowing the dazzling golden roofs of the buildings to sparkle in the sun.

The jade dragon revealed its true form, coiled on the huge jade pillar near the mountain gate. Its dragon body, which was dozens of feet long, looked majestic, and its dragon scales were warm and white. It opened its mouth and exhaled large patches of clouds.

This was one of the ways for the Yunshan Sect to show its strength, and they staged a scene of auspicious beasts welcoming the door.

In the mist, the Jade Dragon rolled his eyes at the sky. Originally it was a cloudy day today, but at Lu Qian's request, the Jade Dragon flew into the sky, using the dragon clan's magical power of controlling the wind and clouds to sweep away the clouds within a hundred miles, and shining bright sunshine on the Sleeping Dragon Mountain.

Oh, it’s so unfair and inhumane. I’m a child laborer and an injured person, is there no one who can show any sympathy to me?

The grand ceremony was approaching, so Lu Qian had no time to pay attention to him. At the foot of the mountain, Wu Yan led the elders of Yunshan to welcome the guests, while Lu Qian was waiting at the entrance of the hall on the top of the mountain.

The guests who came to congratulate today were all of high status, so they naturally did not need to climb Mianlong Mountain. After symbolically entering the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain, they could follow the starry avenue where spiritual power converged to the front of the hall under the guidance of the Yunshan disciples who were neatly lined up in the sky. The drums and trumpets welcoming the guests never stopped, and the sounds of singing and signing up continued.

"The leader of Huanggen Sect, Fairy Ye Xiao, came to congratulate us—"

"The Grand Elder of the Mingyu Sword Sect, Master Zangfeng, has come to congratulate us—"

The two allies of the Yunshan Sect came together. They had known each other for a long time and their friendship was strong, so there was no need to say many polite words. After a brief conversation, they were invited to take a seat.

"The leader of the Fenglei Gang, Mo Yunsou, sent an envoy to congratulate us—"

Since the division of Junle County, the Fenglei Gang has been very close to the three factions and they are very friendly with each other. This time, Mo Yunsou sent an envoy with rich gifts to congratulate, which also shows his sincerity.

Lu Qian was also very enthusiastic and led him into the hall to sit down.

"The head of Jiyang Villa, Kan Yuanzi, came to congratulate—"

The guests who were already seated were all very surprised, and Master Zang Feng and Ye Xiao looked at each other.

Kan Yuanzi, who hides in the Amber Lake all day and never goes out easily, actually came in person to congratulate today. This has a very deep meaning.

When did the relationship between Jiyang Villa and Yunshan Sect become so close? Does this mean that Jiyang Villa may also join the three-faction alliance?
Lu Qian stepped forward and caught Kan Yuanzi and Wei Zhexing behind him.

Just ten days seemed like a lifetime ago to Wei Zhaixing. Now that he was back at Mianlong Mountain, facing the familiar plants and trees, and his close fellow disciples, he felt extremely complicated.

When he saw Lu Qian, his body trembled and he was about to kneel down, but Lu Qian held him back in advance.

"Palm—" Wei Zhaixing's words were stuck in his throat, and his eyes were slightly red.

He was now Kan Yuanzi's last disciple, wearing the uniform of Jiyang Villa. The disciples of Yunshan didn't know about him yet, so everyone looked at him with confusion.

Lu Qian just smiled at him, nodded, and then exchanged a few words with Kan Yuanzi.

Kan Yuanzi's condition seemed good at first glance, but it was probably because he had used some method or taken some medicine. Although it could boost his energy temporarily, the heavy dejection was still difficult to conceal.

The last time we talked, he revealed that he only had twenty years left to live.

The life span of a golden elixir is eight hundred years, but now there is only this little bit left. Is this the fate of trying to tamper with destiny?

Just as Kan Yuanzi was led into the hall to sit down, a flash of starlight was seen, and a dreamy and hazy spirit cat leaped and landed in front of the hall. Its body flashed and shrank rapidly. It was Jiang Baitao's Dao pattern, Beiluo Shimen.

Jiang Baitao and Hai Shuangyao jumped off Bei Luo Shimen. This was Hai Shuangyao's first time at Mianlong Mountain, and she looked around with curiosity.

"Lu Qian, it's really lively here." Hai Shuangyao nodded, "Are there any performances later?"

Lu Qian led her into the hall, laughing as he walked: "Of course there will be performances, maybe even fighting."

Hai Shuangyao's eyes lit up, and her shoulders crackled. She had been trapped in the ice for twenty years, and she was actually quite angry. She had also been having fun in the city that never sleeps for several days, and she just wanted to relax her muscles.

When Ye Xiao saw her, his memories of twenty years ago suddenly came back to him. He was shocked and stood up to greet her: "Daoyou, how are you?"

This real person was of noble status and generous, and the radiance of that spiritual essence was still echoing before his eyes.

Why did Lu Qian invite her here? They seem quite close!

The others, realizing Hai Shuangyao had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, naturally did not dare to underestimate this female Golden Core cultivator who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they all stood up to greet her.

Lu Qian introduced: "This is my old friend, Master Hanmu from the Xianyun Islands."

Xianyun Islands!

Zhenren Zang Feng and others were all shocked. Everyone knew the rumors about the Immortal Island, but they never expected that Lu Qian actually had a friend in the Immortal Meteorite Islands, and that he was a perfect Jindan.

At this moment, a long roar suddenly resounded through the sky, and a huge black shadow as big as a mountain emerged from the clouds, and the disciples of Yunshan were dazed.

That is Xuangui Zangliu!

This late Nascent Soul Spirit Turtle had already let go of its body, like a huge mountain hanging in the air, casting a shadow that covered the sky. It was surrounded by water vapor, and mysterious runes appeared on its shell. Its black scales were shining, and within a thousand feet, a light rain was falling, reflecting rainbow light in the sun.

Yuanxu Lingjun was leading four Jindan Zhenren and twenty foundation-building feathered priests, sitting on the back of a black turtle, and Xichan Taoist was among them.

The Yunshan disciples finally came to their senses and sang loudly: "Spirit Beast Sect Yuanxu Lingjun, come to congratulate--"

Yuanxu Lingjun is really here!
Five-colored light flashed, and Lu Qian flew up and went out to greet them with Wu Yan. Under the gaze of everyone, Yuanxu Lingjun ordered Zang Liu to shrink his body, and the group landed in front of the Yunshan Sect's mountain gate and slowly walked in.

The overlord of one side did not enter the main hall directly. This was a great respect and courtesy given to Yunshan Sect! All the disciples were honored and proud.

Wu Yan led the way, and Lu Qian greeted the various Jindans one by one. Taoist Xichan patted his shoulder with a smile and pushed him to the side of Yuanxu Lingjun. Lingjun talked with him as they walked, which showed their closeness.

When they arrived at the main hall, all the guests except Hai Shuangyao had come out to greet them. Yuan Xu Lingjun just nodded slightly and entered the main hall.

Seeing the unfamiliar Jindan Perfection Master Hanmu, Lu Qian gave a brief introduction. Yuanxu Lingjun couldn't help but feel a little surprised and looked at her a few more times.

Lu Qian led the way. Now, there were three main seats in the hall. Lu Qian asked Yuanxu Lingjun to sit in the middle, and he sat on his right. The other Jindan and foundation-building masters of the Spirit Beast Sect sat down below.

Lingjun saw that the seat on his left was still empty and raised his eyebrows slightly. Just as Lu Qian was about to introduce them, he heard the disciple chanting the salute again.

"Xuanwei Sect's Lingxuan Zhenren came to congratulate—"

In the rosy glow of the sky, Lingxuan Zhenren, dressed in a gorgeous dress, with an intricate and exaggerated bun and an incomparably beautiful appearance, appeared and landed in front of the hall on a rainbow boat.

He took a few steps forward, his skirt fluttering, leaving dots of rainbow light wherever he passed.

"Master Lu, I am not late, am I?"

Lu Qian laughed and hurried forward to greet him. After a few words of greeting, he led him into the hall.

Even though he had heard the news, Ling Xuan Zhenren was still slightly surprised to see Yuan Xu Ling Jun at this moment, then smiled with curved eyebrows and stepped forward to greet him. Yuan Xu Ling Jun was not arrogant and stood up to return the greeting.

The two men looked at each other, then Zhenren Lingxuan covered his face with his sleeves, and Lingjun Yuanxu lowered his eyes, each of them having something in mind.

This time, the three main seats were all made of precious wood, pearls and jade, and covered with gorgeous and soft furs. Master Lingxuan was quite satisfied.

By the time he sat down on the left side of Lingjun, all the distinguished guests for the Dancheng Ceremony had arrived.

Nine bell sounds rang out leisurely on the top of Mianlong Mountain. Everyone looked solemn and listened to the disciple's loud report.

"The Pill Ceremony begins now—"

At this moment, a thunderclap exploded! The sky shook, Lu Qian raised his head suddenly, and Yuanxu Lingjun narrowed his eyes.

"The Sikong family is here to pay respects to the mountain!"

"Sikong Heng is here, Lu Qian, come and fight to the death!" (End of this chapter)
