I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 469: Sword Forging Scroll
No matter how much trouble they made, Huo Caner had already brought people from the Sword Casting Villa to Huashan.

The visitor was Gongye Xingyun, one of the seven earthly immortals of Zhujian Villa.

Although the Sword Casting Villa is well-known in the martial arts world, no, it is well-known among all the martial arts heroes in the world, and is almost as famous as the Black Wind Village.

But after all, it was a martial arts sect that turned to cultivating immortals, and it was also a family business and sect management. Although it was very powerful, it did not have a deep foundation.

Huo Caner came in person with the cultivation level of a Yang God and brought with him the inheritance of the Grandmaster Dutian Liehuo, it was hard for them not to be moved.

What's more, Gongye Xingyun had an agreement with Xu Jia.

To be honest, the seven swords of the Sword Casting Villa have reached a bottleneck. If they want to reach a higher level or ascend, they have to calm down a bit.

If you have the guidance of a famous teacher and a good set of skills to refer to and deduce the Taoist inheritance that is suitable for yourself, you will be able to break through the last shackles.

Although Huashan doesn’t have a good reputation...it’s still a road after all.

The Sword Casting Villa has also had contact with other sects.

However, he could accept the sons and daughters of several owners and elders of the Sword Casting Villa as his disciples, but he would not teach them his advanced cultivation techniques. Instead, he required them to donate a batch of flying swords every year.

Shushan, in particular, has a huge demand for flying swords, not to mention that Shushan is planning to open a villa in Wuliang Mountain in Dali.

Shushan meant that the Sword Casting Villa would be integrated into Shushan as a whole and become the "Shushan Sword Casting Hall" under Shushan, and an influential elder would be sent to provide guidance.

But this is actually an ugly way of eating, wanting to take over such a big and profitable industry without spending a penny.

Zhujian Villa is located in Luling, Jiangxi, far away from Sichuan and Shu, so they seldom have contact with it. Even if they have to, they only contact a few big sects in Jiangxi.

But Jiangxi is the base camp of the Talisman Sect. The purpose of talismans is to deify the gods, but the gods have been beaten so badly that they have become synonymous with liars. The talismans are only used as text and can no longer communicate between heaven and hell. Only talismans are left, which are disassembled into the immortal way and are used for magical powers.

However, despite this, if they really faced the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods, these supreme gods and immortals, they would not slander them. But if they were to face the more down-to-earth gods, such as the mountain gods, city gods, and land gods, they would be arrested at will and treated as slaves.

It's a blessing that Sword Casting Villa has risen in Luling. There are no powerful sword sects around to swallow them up. But it's also a misfortune. The Talisman Sect cannot protect them from being swallowed up by the Sword Sect.

A breakthrough in technology is always inferior to a breakthrough in cultivation. If you don’t have enough strength, you will be pushed to the table.

This is why in the Western Regions, far away in the extreme northwest, Xu Jia was still able to see Gongye Lingxue, a disciple of the Sword Casting Villa in the Jiangnan water town. She came here to try whether she could have an adventure in the Western Regions, such as the Buddhist teachings of the Golden Buddha Kingdom...

The world was becoming increasingly critical. Although these earthly immortals were not able to comprehend the secrets of heaven, they could sense that the large sects had accelerated the absorption of spiritual energy from the earth by the blessed lands, and it was becoming increasingly complicated. The blessed land of the Sword Casting Villa was also having difficulty supporting the seven earthly immortals.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sword Forging Villa relied on the sword-forging technology to collect a large amount of cultivation resources every year, it would have collapsed long ago.

If an ordinary Qigong practitioner with no background wants to buy a good second-rate flying sword, he must work as a retainer for the Sword Casting Villa for at least 30 years, collecting various spiritual minerals and herbs...

But if they suck the blood of the lower-level cultivators, naturally there will be higher-level cultivators sucking their blood. Originally, they could still maintain one or two, but recently, the number of flying swords required by the sects worshipped by the elders and descendants of the owner of the manor has increased, and the price has dropped lower and lower, with almost no profit. They purchase corresponding cultivation resources from the sects, but they are often much more expensive than the internal price of the sect, and even 10% or 20% more expensive than the market price.

Such a trade deficit forced the Sword Casting Villa to suck more blood from below and recruit disciples widely. Not only did it start to make promises to the acquired realm warriors, allowing them to take out loans to buy flying swords, it also developed a magical sword that the acquired realm warriors could use. If you buy this sword and use it for twenty or thirty years to accompany you in your promotion to the innate Qi training realm, the sword will also have some spirituality. Then the Sword Casting Villa can recycle the second-hand sword at a high price, exchange the old for the new, and buy a new innate Qi training realm flying sword at a cheaper price.

The acquired flying sword that has developed some spirituality will be promoted to a real flying sword through the special process of the Sword Casting Villa.

In short, there are many martial artists in the Jiangnan region who have taken out loans from the Sword Casting Villa.

But these are all bubbles, and sooner or later they will burst.

Originally, when Huo Caner came to contact them, the seven earthly immortals of Zhujian Villa did not believe him. They thought that he was just another blood-sucking person. They were just thinking of sending the son or daughter of one of the villa owners or elders to learn skills in order to temporarily stabilize the Huashan Sect.

However, he did not expect Huo Caner to directly ask for the sword-making technology of Zhujian Villa through the inheritance of Dutian Liehuo Patriarch.

A great celestial technique...

Although it is only a side-door-level celestial immortal technique, not Taiyi Xuanmen-level, nor Daluo-level, it is indeed a direct celestial immortal technique.

In order to distinguish the authenticity, Huo Caner even showed them all the techniques of the Innate Qi Training Realm and also revealed two sentences of the Earthly Immortal Realm's mantra.

It’s really exquisite…

But just change it like that?
It was really too much of a joke, and to be honest, the Sword Forging Villa was also unsure. What if they had cheated first? Even if the technique was real, what if there was fake stuff in it?
Another thing is that in the eyes of the Sword Casting Villa, the technology of the Sword Casting Villa is all civilian technology, not high-end at all. The first-class flying sword is the technology of the Earth Immortals, and the top-class flying sword can reach the Yang God level, but if compared with the rare treasures of Tianfu, the relics of ancient immortals, and various peerless flying swords, it is much worse.

Can it really be exchanged for a divine method?

After careful consideration, the seven earthly immortals decided that Gongye Xingyun would take the most important treasure of the Sword Casting Villa, the "Sword Casting Ancient Scroll" left over from the Jiang Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to Huashan for the ancestor to look at personally. They would only regard it as a gift and did not ask for a direct way to become an immortal, but a breakthrough to the divine realm would be enough.

This ancient scroll on sword-making has a history, and the most famous line in it is "Without that sword, I can still annihilate the enemy!"

Jiang State was a small country during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a weak national structure and declining military power.

But a magic sword was forged, and when it came out, it was accompanied by a sacrifice that destroyed a city and a country...

The reason for the destruction of the Jiang State was the sword-forging manual. This sword-forging manual was obtained by the Yue State, which destroyed the Jiang State, and was named the Eight Swords of the King of Yue... Even some fragments of the sword manual were passed down, and sword-forging masters such as Ou Yezi, Gan Jiang and Moye were born.

……

The Sword Forging Villa was founded by the descendants of Ou Yezi's disciples...

Gongye Xingyun looked at Xu Jia cautiously and was shocked. He could not see any relationship between Xu Jia and the Taoist Huanglian in the Liuli Blessed Land back then. After all, the agreement was made with Taoist Huanglian, not with the Dutian Liehuo Patriarch who came down to the world at the altar.
