Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 667: Sword Diagram Concept
In order to pick chicken heart grass to refine bone-tempering pills, Cao Xiu finally chose to go to Jiguana Mountain in person.

Under Li Qing's clever arrangement, Cao Xiu discovered the mystery hidden behind a waterfall at the first opportunity!
Behind the rushing waterfall, there is a natural cave hidden.

Cao Xiu did not rush into the cave, but instead used various means to explore it, but did not find anything special about this cave.

So he finally decided to go in and take a look at what the mystery was!
After hesitating for a while, Cao Xiu went straight through the rushing water and dived into the cave.

However, the next moment, the scene in the cave suddenly changed, and rays of light from the formation appeared all around.

Hooked!
Li Qing, who had been hiding in the dark, came out with a very satisfied expression.

"This kid is really careless. He just rushed into a cave he came across."

"But it's good this way. I hope he can pass this test."

This cave was jointly arranged by Li Qing and Bailing Daojun, and the formation and talisman inheritance left by Bailing Daojun were placed inside!
In addition, Taoist Master Bailing also set up a small trap. Anyone who breaks in will be trapped in the cave. It would be difficult to get out by brute force alone!
If he wanted to break out of this trap, with Cao Xiu's foundation-building stage cultivation level, he could only break it by using the formation.

Therefore, the inheritance left inside is very important to him, and can be said to be a life-saving straw.

Not only that, if Cao Xiu successfully breaks this second-level trap, he will be able to get a map.

With the guidance of this map, Cao Xiu was able to find the place where the last inheritance of Bailing Daojun was hidden.

Of course, this is also the place of inheritance arranged by Li Qing and Bailing Daojun.

"Speaking of which, Senior Bai Ling, how long will it take Cao Xiu to break through the trap to be considered qualified?"

Daojun Bailing said slowly:

"Considering that this kid may have never been exposed to formations before, if he can comprehend the mysteries of formations within two months, he will have quite a good talent."

After hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Two months? Senior, your requirements are really strict."

So he waited here patiently in case any other emergencies occurred.

At this moment, in the cave behind the waterfall, Cao Xiu himself was completely dumbfounded.

"This is where?"

The surrounding environment was very bright, not at all like what a cave should be like.

He looked back and found that the cave entrance that was filled with steam had disappeared, leaving only a layer of foggy wall blocking all sight.

Cao Xiu's face darkened slightly, knowing that he might have fallen into some formation barrier.

In the world of immortal cultivation, such rumors are not uncommon, and these rumors are often accompanied by some opportunities and possible dangers.

Cao Xiu tried it out and found that with his magical power, it was impossible for him to forcibly break the barrier of this formation. Unless he was a cultivator in the Jindan stage, even if he exhausted his magical power, he might not be able to shake this formation.

After confirming this fact, Cao Xiu's heart sank again and he felt extremely bad.

At this moment, he was already regretting why he had not suppressed his curiosity. Now that he had fallen into such a place, he might be in a life-and-death situation.

The next moment, there was a sound of bones breaking under Cao Xiu's feet.

Click!

Under his feet, a piece of white bones was broken by him, and bone powder was scattered all over the ground.

Cao Xiu, with an extremely grim expression on his face, looked forward in the direction of the bones and soon found a stone table similar to an altar.

There are two jade slips placed casually on it, looking a bit old, as if they have existed for quite a few years.

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to pick up the jade slip and read the contents recorded in it with his spiritual sense.

"Detailed Explanation of Bailing Talisman Dao", "Complete Records of Low-level Talismans", "Summary of Bailing Formation Dao", "Nodes of Formation Flags and Formation Patterns", "Summary of Low-level Formation Methods".
After looking at the contents recorded in the two jade slips, Cao Xiu's face immediately showed joy.

This turned out to be a second-level inheritance of the Way of the Talisman and a second-level inheritance of the Way of the Array! According to the brief description above, this should have been left by a powerful cultivator in ancient times. The array barrier that trapped him now was the product of this predecessor's casual arrangement.

"It's amazing that this formation is still effective after all these years!" Cao Xiu muttered to himself, and then focused his attention on the jade slip that recorded the inheritance of the formation.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then muttered to himself:
"I have reported my visit to Jiguan Mountain to the sect. It is not a secret. I am not alone now. If I disappear for too long, the sect will definitely send people here to look for me."

"When the time comes, as long as the Grand Elder comes, he should be able to discover the abnormality here, and then I can be rescued."

"But we can't put all our hopes on the outside world. Since it's a formation barrier, it means there is a way to break it. This formation inheritance may be the key!"

After Cao Xiu finished speaking, he made a decision in his heart.

In this way, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed!
During this period, Li Qing stayed near the waterfall, guarding the cave behind the water curtain.

The sect rescue that Cao Xiu tried to wait for never came, so in the end he had to rely on himself for everything.

Li Qing was not at all impatient about this, because before the Yin-Yang Ganoderma was delivered, he had basically done nothing during this time.

During this period of time, he had been playing with the golden warship that the Zhong family had given him as a compensation.

This is a ship that is a combination of equipment refining and formation formation. It has an extremely ingenious design and can be described as a masterpiece in every aspect.

Although it was only a magic weapon-level treasure, its combination with the formation was perfect, and even Li Qing couldn't help but be amazed.

Taoist Bailing, who was bored at the side, couldn't help but become interested when he saw this golden warship.

"The idea of ​​engraving a formation on a spirit boat is indeed novel. Is it a product of this era?"

"In ancient times, some people have tried to do these things. Some people thought of using talismans to carry a formation, and when the talismans were cast, a large formation would be formed directly."

"Some people also tried to replace the Dao patterns of magic weapons with the patterns of formations, but they still failed."

"Whether it's a talisman or a magic weapon, it's difficult to become the carrier of the formation. The things involved are too complicated and beyond human power."

After hearing what Daojun Bailing said, Li Qing told him the origin of this golden warship.

In the ancient Liang State, there was a pair of brothers who were both cultivators and could communicate with each other through their minds at certain times.

One of them assisted in the cultivation of formations while the other assisted in the cultivation of weapons. Relying on their telepathic connection, they were able to refine this golden warship that combined weapon refining and formations.

After listening to Li Qing's story, Bai Ling Daojun nodded thoughtfully and said, "If that's the case, then it's not impossible."

Afterwards, the two of them had an in-depth conversation about the matter, exchanging experiences and discussing the possibility of the matter.

Li Qing felt that if the power of the formation could really be combined with the magic weapon, it might achieve unexpected results.

However, Daojun Bailing is not optimistic about this. He believes that the best carrier of the formation is still the celestial phenomena and the terrain. Only in this way can the power of the formation be truly brought into play.

But nothing in the world is absolute, just like this golden warship in front of us, there are always some exceptions.

In this way, the two of them exchanged in-depth and simple terms their experiences and highlights in weapon refining.

It has to be said that Li Qing's talent in refining equipment is indeed extraordinary. Although his skills in refining equipment are not as good as Bailing Daojun's for the time being, his attainments are also quite extraordinary.

After a long communication, Li Qing's thinking was broadened a lot, and he also made great progress in certain aspects of refining equipment.

"That being said, if a magic weapon does not have Dao patterns, how can it carry the Dao of heaven and earth?"

"Can it still be called a magic weapon in that case? After all, a magic weapon is not the golden warship in front of you. It is always against the rules if there is no Dao pattern engraved on it."

"Besides, if a formation wants to exert its power, it needs a cultivator to preside over it!"

Bailing Daojun shook his head and repeatedly rejected Li Qing's idea.

But Li Qing did not give up. He always felt that this matter was not impossible, and there must be some aspects that he had not considered carefully. The formation needed to be presided over, and the magic weapon also needed to be combined with the Dao pattern to have the corresponding power.

Are these two most critical problems really unsolvable?
Li Qing racked his brains and always felt that there was some clue to this matter, but he was still unable to break through that layer of window paper.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Li Qing's mind.

He thought of his Fenglinhuoshan Spear!
This is a combination of magical weapons. Now that he has reached the Jindan stage, these spiritual spears made up of top-grade magical weapons are of little use to him.

"The command of the formation may be achieved with the help of the spirit of the weapon, and the formation can be controlled by the spirit of the weapon!"

"And one magic weapon may not be able to serve as a carrier of formations and Dao patterns, so I can refine two magic weapons and combine them to realize this possibility!"

"One of the magic weapons is used to contain the spirit and engrave the formation, and the other magic weapon is used to cooperate with it to exert the greatest power!"

Hearing Li Qing's idea, Bailing Daojun was slightly stunned and showed hesitation on his face.

"Using spirit weapons and magic weapons to realize this idea? This idea is something I have never thought of before. It is really out of this world!"

At this moment, even the knowledgeable Bailing Daojun couldn't help but look at Li Qing sideways.

He really wanted to know what was in this guy's mind that he could come up with such a bold idea.

This is definitely not an idea that an ordinary cultivator can come up with! Even normal weapon refiners would not think about these things.

As for Li Qing, the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. He felt that his idea might actually come true.

Chatting about these things with Daojun Bailing today was indeed of great benefit to him.

The other party's attainments in weapon refining and formation gave him great help. After all, Li Qing himself was unable to see the two key points of the host formation and the formation carrier.

"Looking at you, it seems like you really have some ideas?"

"So what kind of magic weapon do you plan to refine to realize your vision?"

Daojun Bailing asked with a smile, seeming to be interested.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this way since he achieved the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

But the young man in front of him at this moment repeatedly brought him this sense of novelty.

That’s right, Li Qing did have some suitable ideas in his mind, which came from some mythological stories in his memories of his previous life.

"I plan to refine a formation diagram, and then use it as a carrier to refine a few extremely powerful killing swords!"

"The killing sword can be used as the key flag of the formation, and it can also mobilize the power of the formation diagram. The combination of the two may achieve unexpected results."

At this point, Li Qing couldn't help but get excited. He said, "Senior Bai Ling, what do you think about me calling this treasure the Zhu Xian Sword Formation Diagram?"

The moment he finished speaking, a loud rumbling sound suddenly rang out, and the earth began to tremble and shake, as if some kind of strange phenomenon had occurred.

Boom!

But soon, both of them turned their eyes to the waterfall.

It was Cao Xiu. He seemed to have found a way to break the trap. The unusual movement just now was caused by him, and it seemed that he would soon come out.

It took less than two months. Considering a cultivator who had never been exposed to formation knowledge, this talent was indeed quite impressive.

Daojun Bailing slowly retracted his gaze, then took a deep look at Li Qing and said:

"Zhu Xian Sword Formation Diagram? The word Zhu Xian is a bit too big, I'm afraid you can't suppress it."

"But maybe you can give your idea a try."

After saying this, Taoist Bailing suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to let Li Qing in front of him inherit his mantle.

He had gone to great lengths to search for a successor for such a long time, but perhaps it was all in vain.

Although Li Qing had very poor talent in alchemy and talismans, his imaginative thinking alone was enough to surpass most cultivators in the world.

At least this so-called Zhu Xian Sword Formation diagram was something that even he had never thought about.

However, since he had already chosen Cao Xiu as his successor, Taoist Bailing had no intention of changing it.

Of course, this did not prevent him from giving Li Qing some help in certain aspects, such as passing on to him everything he had learned about formations and refining equipment.

At least Li Qing would not disgrace this inheritance, and he was also quite interested in the so-called Zhuxian Sword Formation Diagram and wanted to lend a helping hand!
The matter at Jiguana Mountain was concluded, and Cao Xiu successfully escaped from the fog trap.

After making sure that he had obtained the final map instructions, Li Qing naturally had no need to stay here any longer, but returned to the sect.

How Cao Xiu is going to obtain the inheritance left by him and Bailing Daojun next has nothing to do with Li Qing. This is something Cao Xiu needs to consider himself, and Li Qing doesn't need to worry too much about it.

After returning to the sect, Li Qing began to retreat again.

Because although his idea of ​​refining the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was very imaginative, if he wanted to realize it, he needed the support of strength.

The cultivation level at the peak of the Jindan stage might be considered powerful in the Qingling Region today, but if you really look at the whole world, it is still not good enough.

He felt that if he wanted to refine the Zhuxian Sword Formation Diagram, he would have to at least have the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage to be able to accomplish this.

So in the following time, Li Qing has been in seclusion in the cave, quietly comprehending some of the inheritance of Chihuang Tianjun that he got in the Fire Cliff Cave.

Although he is unable to move towards the Nascent Soul stage for the time being, some of the Taoist magical powers recorded in it are of great use to Li Qing.

During this process, Li Qing's control over the spiritual fire of heaven and earth became more and more profound.

In the past, he could only use the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to perform the magical power of the Shattering Fire Seal, but now he has finally mastered more magical powers.

This means that his means of dealing with enemies in the future will become more diverse!
Time passed by again, and before we knew it, a year had passed.

At this time, in the southwest of Qingling Territory, close to the border area of ​​Dahuang Territory, a group of dusty monks drove in on spirit boats.

"Hiss! The spiritual energy in this area is so strong, it's not much worse than the Great Wilderness Area. How come I didn't know before that this large area in the north of the Great Wilderness Area also has such a good environment for cultivation?"

"This domain is called Qingling Domain. With such abundant spiritual energy, there must be a powerful immortal force."

"Well, you're right. We must act with caution. We must not act rashly before we understand the situation in this area!"

Having said this, the expressions of the group of people became slightly gloomy.

Someone couldn't help but sigh and said, "The demon sect in the Great Wilderness is very powerful now. Even after so many years, as long as we show our tracks, we will be hunted down by all the demon sect practitioners in the Great Wilderness."

"Alas, the demonic sect is so powerful that we can only avoid its edge. Compared with the other righteous sects at that time, it is already a very difficult thing for my Xiaoyao Sect to preserve its inheritance."

"Okay, let's first find out the situation in this area. If we can find a place to stay, we will inform the ancestor immediately."

"."

This group of people turned out to be the righteous sect that was crushed out of the Great Wilderness, the Xiaoyao Sect!
If Li Qing heard these conversations, he would definitely recognize the origins of these people at the first moment!
This sect had originally fled from the Great Wilderness Territory in a panic. Since the Qingling Territory was too close to the Great Wilderness Territory, they chose to flee to other large domains.

Now he has traveled through many large areas, and is in a very miserable state. But now he has finally found his way back.

Now they urgently need a place to settle down!

Therefore, they once again set their sights on the Qingling Region, intending to take advantage of the current chaotic situation in the Great Wilderness Region, where the Demon Sect should have no time to take care of the relations in this region, and take advantage of it!

In this way, the group quietly broke into this large area where the spiritual energy was becoming increasingly abundant!
