Tao and Heaven

Chapter 142 The demons cross the border
Put the remaining traces of the immortal sword back into the scabbard?
Gu Wen clenched his right hand to condense the remnant of the immortal sword, and a flash of white illuminated the room. The sword light just flashed across the table, and the table was instantly split into two.

This caught the attention of Yu Hua, who was dozing off nearby. She looked at Gu Wen sleepily.

Gu Wen was slightly embarrassed. He didn't mean to show off the sharpness of the Immortal Sword. It was just that the Immortal Sword was too difficult to control.

To him, the true meaning of Kendo is just like a child swinging a sledgehammer. It's good enough that it can be used, so don't ask for too much.

The sword blade that seemed to be made of ice and snow was put into the scabbard. A slight friction sound was heard when the two came into contact, and then they fit together perfectly with a click.

At this moment, the connection between Gu Wen and the remnant of the Immortal Sword also disappeared. Originally, the remnant of the Immortal Sword was like flesh and blood to him. Without his mana to nourish it, it would disappear. At the same time, as long as he did not hold it in his hand, it would also break because he had no power to maintain it.

Now it seems to have formed an internal cycle, able to maintain its own existence by relying on the magic power it condenses.

Gu Wen drew out his sword again, a ray of sword light shone on his pupils, and a one-meter-long gap appeared on the roof behind him, but when it fell on Gu Wen, it was like a spring breeze on his face.

The sword energy became more restrained, and the remnant of the immortal sword in the scabbard was better controlled.

Yu Hua asked, "It's a bit like sword training. Have you improved your sword skills?"

Gu Wen nodded and replied, "I have already understood the connection between the scabbard and the remnant of the immortal sword."

He then condensed another image of the immortal sword, but found that it could not be superimposed with the image in the scabbard. Instead, the two would cancel each other out when they collided.

The method of condensing the sword is taken from the Jade Purity Sword Technique, and the heart sword of the Jade Purity Sword Technique is solid and physical.

Seeing this, Yu Hua suggested, "Perhaps you can ask Chi Yuzi. Yu Jian Men is also a great sword sect, and its foundation is much deeper than Zhe Jian Shan. They should have many superior sword-cultivation techniques."

Gu Wen walked out of the room. Jun Yan was cooking in the kitchen and Chi Yuzi was in the room on the right.

"Akabane, are you free?"

He knocked on the door and pushed it open. As soon as he entered, he smelled a faint smell of blood.

I saw Akabane sitting cross-legged on the ground, cutting his flesh with a Taoist sword, his arms were covered with wounds. But for some reason, there were only wounds, and not a drop of blood flowed out.

She looked up, glanced at Gu Wen, and said, "Don't knock on the door and push it at the same time."

"Isn't this what I learned from you?" Gu Wen asked, "Are you practicing the Immortal Dao Body?"

"Almost, but with little effect."

Akabane clenched his fist, and flames immediately appeared on the wound, with a faint smell of meat floating in the air.

The true fire of Ang Ri now seemed to have been used by her like pure fire, while Gu Wen was just storing it up.

"How is the Angri True Fire in your body?"

Gu Wen replied: "As long as I don't touch it, it will be very quiet."

The Angri Demon Saint was no match for Yu Hua, so he was naturally suppressed.

Akabane suggested: "You can touch it a little bit on weekdays, at least to get familiar with it, otherwise it will be very painful after the sixth turn."

After reaching the sixth level, Gu Wen needs to start taking various essence stones, which is why Chi Yuzi eats the spirit sword.

For this purpose, Akabane had prepared thousands of spiritual swords, and the number of spiritual swords in the sword box during the trip to Tianquan Mountain reached five thousand.

One thousand of them had been eaten by Chiyuzi, one thousand were leftovers, another one thousand were used for fighting, and the remaining two thousand were prepared for Gu Wen.

As for the price, she didn't mention it, and Gu Wen assumed that she didn't want it.

This spiritual sword is worth a fortune outside, and the lifeblood of a Yuanying Zhenren is probably a spiritual treasure. These thousands of swords are equivalent to all the assets of a large sect. I'm afraid that only Yujian Sect and Zhejian Mountain can afford them.

However, considering that the Nine-Turn Golden Pill is a method for becoming an immortal, it is understandable that so many spiritual swords are needed for cultivation. Moreover, most of the spiritual swords come from Tianquan Mountain, so it is not simple that this is an immortal sword training ground.

Cultivating Dharma, Land, Wealth and Friends is not just talk, and a sect is not omnipotent. But a good sect can allow a genius to reach his limit and will not be buried due to other factors.

If I really want to eat a handful of it, I'll owe you a favor and I'll just pay it off with my own body.

As she spoke, the flames on Akabaneko's arm disappeared, leaving behind only ugly skin made of melted flesh and blood.

"What brings you to me?"

Gu Wen got straight to the point and said, "I need a sword-cultivation technique."

"You want the best, or the most moderate."

"the best."

Chi Yuzi raised his hand and sent out a divine thought. After Gu Wen accepted it, a martial art emerged in his mind.

After he had the primordial spirit, he no longer felt dizzy when reading new techniques as he did at the beginning in Bian Jing. At the same time, he could understand most of the techniques without the need for a horoscope.

[Tian Gang Sword Training Technique, the first level requires eighty years of Heavenly Marrow]

Gu Wen was silent for a while, then said, "I need a moderate one."

He could get the Eighty Years of Heavenly Marrow, but it was not worth using it to practice swordsmanship. Gu Wen just needed to apply the method to the scabbard. Chi Yuzi didn't waste any time and threw out another method.

[Xuan Yang Sword Training Technique, there are three levels in total. The first level requires one load of Heavenly Marrow, the second level requires two loads, and the third level requires three loads.]

In the bamboo forest.

Gu Wen found Ao Tang lying in the shadow of the bamboo forest. He leaned over and took out a handful of pills from his abdomen. There were ten pills in total, and each pill contained two times the Heavenly Marrow.

He took it all at once, leaving Ao Tang dumbfounded.

Although it was already known that the Second Ancestor was also a monster, he never worried about poisoning or indigestion when taking elixirs, as if he could become an immortal instantly as long as he had enough elixirs.

But every time I see it, I find it outrageous.

All medicines are poisonous, but Gu Wenmeng has been taking them for so long and has not had any health problems.

【Tian Sui Sixty Years】

Adding the fifty years of Heavenly Marrow that he had previously used to break through to the fourth level of Golden Elixir, that totals to sixty years of Heavenly Marrow.

Gu Wen asked, "Senior Ao, how many pills are left?"

"The immortality elixir is special and takes some time to refine."

Ao Tang looked inside his internal furnace and estimated before replying, "I can probably refine another 40 pills. It will take about a week."

Gu Wen returned to his room, took out the Six Years of Heavenly Marrow and put it into the Xuanyang Cultivation Sword Technique, which was perfected in an instant. Since it was not some magical technique that could change the world, he did not change much.

Using the sword-nurturing method to nourish the remaining immortal sword in the scabbard, its aura began to grow slowly.

“It works, but slowly.”

Gu Wen estimated that it would take a month to condense the Immortal Sword Remnant to twice its original state, and that this Immortal Sword Remnant was a one-time thing.

It can only be used as a means of saving lives, and not as a conventional means of attack.

dong dong dong.

Akabane knocked on the door and came in. She came to borrow the scabbard. Without the scabbard, she would be in so much pain that she couldn't sleep at night.

Seeing Gu Wen fiddling with the scabbard, he asked some more questions and learned that he had a better control over the scabbard and the magic sword.

"Are we going to other secret places next?"

"why are you not going?"

"Those secret places were originally prepared by my sister for me. I'm afraid there might be fraud if I go there."

"Let's wait until she can beat Yu Hua."

Gu Wen knew that Chi Yuzi was afraid of the half-immortal, and fear would make people lose their judgment, so he did not let the other party make a decision.

Moreover, he has not yet collected the elixir for the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and now he needs to wait until the news of his presence in Nanshui is exposed to give the enemy time to relocate.

Otherwise, he would have to guard the Fire Cloud Cave all the time and Gu Wen would not dare to go in.
-
Three days later.

There were more dusty people in Jiangjia Village. They came to Jiang Fugui's door and begged for food. They went in and out of the village in groups of three or five, and there were cries of grief everywhere all day long.

Then the young and middle-aged men of the Jiang family drove them away with sticks, and there were people patrolling at night, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

Refugees are a major destabilizing factor for any place. They may be pitiful, but Jiangjia Village is just an ordinary clan village.

Jiang Fugui came to Gu Wen again to report the news, just like he did in Bianjing City.

The southern barbarian tribes invaded the southern water border, and many important towns were captured, resulting in hundreds of thousands of refugees at one time.

The Nanchun Army took this opportunity to expand its army and took refugees with them to attack the nearby big city.

That night, Jun Yan left to gather intelligence.

The next day, Jiang Fugui came again and brought some trivial news.

Jiang Jucai led his troops to capture a nearby county town, and the Nanchun Army was determined to annex the entire Nanshui before Wen Renwu arrived.

Because the imperial court increased taxes again.

That night, Jun Yan finally came back. He called everyone together and said in a serious tone, "The demon race has entered our human territory. There is a demon race genius eight hundred miles away from us, and his realm is similar to Hongchen's."

"I disguised myself as a genius from a small sect and asked for help from various sects, but no one responded. Immortal Qingcang destroyed more than a dozen demon caves back then, and this time he might be coming for us, and the major immortal sects of the human race may have acquiesced, or even cooperated."

The local tyrants in Nanshui are planning to rebel with real weapons, there are barbarians invading the border, a genius from the demon tribe is crossing the border, and a half-immortal is watching in secret.

It really is one wave after another.
