From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 351: Sword Becomes Shocking Mountains and Seas

At this time, the method used by Li Yang and Chi Yanhong to forge swords was an extremely superior method of mind refining.

This method of mind-refining requires extremely high spiritual energy and an excellent terrain for sword-refining. It has been a secret method of sword immortals who eat qi since ancient times.

There is no alchemy furnace in the cave, but there is something better than the alchemy furnace, and that is this stone platform.

This stone platform was originally the place where the ancient swordsman of Emei practiced hard. It was formed naturally and contains the mystery of Tai Chi. It is a place for refining yin and yang swords that was born and nurtured by nature.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong studied the "Essentials of Sword Refining" together. They placed the materials on the Yang Eye, and then sat in the center of the stone platform and used special finger gestures to inject spiritual energy into various directions of the stone platform.

As the spiritual energy gradually penetrated, hot air waves rose on one side of the stone platform, while frost gradually condensed on the other side, and yin and yang rotated.

The two planned to cast Qingshuang first and then Liuyun.

Before, when Li Yang was still a congenital being, he almost drained all of his spiritual energy when forging the Moon Essence Wheel. But as time passed, he was now adept at sword forging, and the vast and abundant spiritual energy filled the entire cave.

This Yin-Yang sword-refining site had been abandoned by the ancient sword masters of Emei long before the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Dharma Ending Age, there were only a few big and small cats who were unable to use it to refine weapons. Today, it has finally come to life in modern times.

"This sword forging is different from forging a magic sword. It requires many sword tools. To prevent someone from using Qingshuang Liuyun to commit excessive murder in the future, it cannot be integrated into the sword qi. Only the spiritual essence of heaven and earth can be collected and integrated into the sword body!"

The two looked at each other. According to the predetermined plan, Li Yang would continuously differentiate the treasure that had melted into liquid metal hanging above the Yang Eye, forming thousands of balls of liquid metal. Chi Yanhong would sit cross-legged, transporting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and injecting it into the Yin Eye.

It was a big challenge for Li Yang to control thousands of swords with great concentration and effort to slowly melt them into shape. Fortunately, Chi Yanhong was there to take over.
In the following days, when Li Yang was tired, Chi Yanhong controlled the sword casting while Li Yang guided the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Mount Emei is one of the earliest Buddhist mountains in China to see its spiritual energy revival. Although it has regressed due to the blood demon's rebellion, it is still the first paradise under the white clouds in Sichuan and Qingcheng Mountain. In addition, the sea of ​​clouds is vast and golden light is shining everywhere. The spiritual energy collected by the two men is extremely pure.

The two masters worked together, forgetting to eat and sleep, and seemed unaware of the passage of time.

May 17th.

Weibo, Vitality, Tik Tok, Facebook, and other major Chinese official media platforms have officially announced a document.

While hundreds of millions of Chinese people were scratching their heads, the authorities finally announced the specific number of students that each major academy wanted to admit.

The enrollment scale of the 36 Taoist academies in each province is the same, and each academy plans to recruit 5,000 people, which is almost the normal enrollment number of a traditional university.

The three most popular Taoist temples: Baiyun, Qingcheng and Wutai, have slight differences.

Among them, Qingcheng Taoist Temple plans to recruit 2,000 people, and Mount Wutai has the largest number of people, which can recruit 8,000 people.
Baiyun Taoist Temple had the smallest number of students, only 1,800.

When this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and those students who were worried about the major colleges limiting the number of admissions were slightly relieved.

An ordinary Taoist temple has 5,000 people in each, which is far more than the optimistic estimates of some experts and media.

The total number of students enrolled in all Taoist academies is about 200,000.

However, even though the government has relaxed the enrollment quotas for major colleges, with a college entrance examination scale of 20 million, it is still a difficult task for thousands of people to cross the single-plank bridge.

It's really a one percent chance to meet the immortal. Only 200,000 people out of 20 million will meet the immortal.

Southern Fujian, Nanqiao High School.

Wang Xianghong excitedly grabbed Wang Shuhuan's hand and cried loudly.

"Cousin, 200,000 people, how can there be only 200,000 people? If you want to cultivate immortality, why do you have to mix it up with the college entrance examination? How can I have a chance?"

"What should I do? I wasted a year coming back to repeat my studies! If I don't get accepted into the Taoist Academy and go to those traditional schools, I will really go crazy. My parents will hang me up and beat me!"

After almost a year of torture, Wang Xianghong's fat figure had shrunk a lot. At this time, he held Wang Shuhuan's hand with tears streaming down his face, crying extremely desperately.

"Two hundred thousand people, just be happy. This is a lot more relaxed than the previous prediction." Wang Shuhuan pulled his hand back in disgust.

"And didn't you see the press conference? Although there are 20 million applicants, the number of people who are truly qualified to enter the Taoist Academy will be cut in half. There are academic requirements, which are probably around 30 points above the undergraduate line."

Chen Li, who was busy doing questions nearby, said, "It's estimated that it will be cut in half. According to previous college entrance examinations, the score that should have passed the exam is around 8 million."

Hearing this, Wang Xianghong's eyes lit up, and he began to calculate with his stubby fingers: "In this case, the probability is more than 2%. The probability is doubled, which is a bit promising..."

Chen Li shook her head, put down the pen in her hand, looked at Wang Xianghong helplessly, and attacked him mercilessly: "How can you be so confident? According to your ranking in the last mock exam, you should be one of the 12 million people who are stuck outside the line."

Wang Shuhuan's face changed, and then turned pale as paper.

He opened his mouth to say something in rebuttal, but seeing the sympathetic looks on Chen Li and Wang Shuhuan's faces, he went back to practice his questions miserably.

Throughout China, there were more than three people who discussed the Taoist Academy's enrollment in this way.

Wang Shuhuan turned around and looked at his classmates, some of whom were excited, some were pale, and some were fascinated. He sighed.
"Two hundred thousand immortal cultivators. Society has already begun to transition. The era of universal immortal cultivation is really about to begin..."

Mount Emei, sacrifice oneself at the bottom of the cliff.

The turmoil in the outside world did not disturb Li Yang and Chi Yanhong's sword-making.

Seven days later, the whole cave was filled with light and color, and it was time for the most important step.

Chi Yanhong and Li Yang looked at each other, and then tacitly separated the spiritual essence of heaven and earth that had been condensed for seven days and the gold and iron liquid into two lines, which slowly gathered on the dividing line of the Tai Chi diagram. Thousands of blue and white light spots hovered in the sky above the dividing line of the Tai Chi diagram and slowly entangled.

"The sword is the best of all weapons. Today, I, the True Lord, have used the copper from the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces, drawn the spiritual water from Emei Mountain, and taken the spiritual essence of heaven and earth to forge the Qingshuang 3,600."

"The time has come, the sword is ready!"

Li Yang let out a light breath, and the vast spiritual energy instantly surged.

These spiritual energies turned into tangible transparent tentacles and merged into 3,600 groups of blended metal liquids.

When the metal liquid and the spiritual essence of heaven and earth were completely entangled on the dividing line of the Tai Chi diagram, the cold and hot force fields on the Tai Chi diagram began to rotate continuously.

"boom!"

The demand for spiritual energy on the sword-refining platform increased several times. Li Yang struggled to hold on, and Chi Yanhong's face turned pale.

When Li Yang was casting the Moon Essence Wheel, he lost consciousness at this juncture, and the material that was supposed to be cast into a sword eventually became the current Moon Essence Wheel.
With the lessons learned from the past, Li Yang focused all his attention and slowly guided the metal liquid to change its shape.

The outlines of 60 weapons were faintly visible above the cave, each about centimeters long.

When the cold and hot force field of the Tai Chi diagram rotated nine times, the outline of the weapon became clearer with each rotation. After nine rotations of yin and yang, the stone platform shone brightly, and the entire cave was filled with clanging sounds, emitting the sound of metal clashing, and the trembling sound seemed to break through the clouds and spread over a hundred miles.

"Ode! Ode! Ode!"

Li Yang gritted his teeth, and with a swish, the 3,600 weapons turned into cold lights, like a cold Milky Way hanging upside down, and all rushed into a large mountain spring next to the cave.

"Stab!"

A large amount of white mist suddenly rose in the cave. When the mist dissipated, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong hurried to the mountain spring to check.

Beneath the spring water, one could faintly see three thousand six hundred swords inserted at the bottom of the pool, standing in a dense forest, reflecting the cold light all over the sky.

"The sword is ready!"

Li Yang was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and a sword emerged from the spring water. He held it firmly in his hand.
The sword was three feet and seven inches long and two inches and seven inches wide. It was made of top-grade sword material. Li Yang slashed it with his hand, and a tree trunk as thick as his wrist growing beside the spring broke with a sound, with a smooth cut.

Chi Yanhong also fished out a Qingshuang sword from the spring and played with it in his hand. He flicked it with his fingers and put it to his ear, and immediately heard a crisp sound.

"Good sword. Although its spirituality is not strong enough, its sharpness is frightening. Combined with our mind-refining method, an ordinary spirit who wields this sword will be invincible against a Xiantian."

Chi Yanhong was obviously in a very good mood. Although his face looked a little tired and dusty, his eyebrows were curved, as if he had put his mind at ease.

When Li Yang was casting the Moon Essence Wheel that day, because of his low cultivation level, he couldn't even help protect the way, and was tricked out of the cave. He could only watch helplessly as Li Yang narrowly escaped death.

That almost became a source of worry for her.

Now that he was forging the sword again, he could finally help. Standing beside Li Yang, he put his mind at ease. Chi Yanhong felt extremely refreshed and relaxed all over.

Women's thoughts are always poetic and hard to figure out. Li Yang thought Chi Yanhong was satisfied with the sword-forging.

With a wave of his hand, 3,600 Qingshuang swords were stored in the storage ring like long silver dragons. Li Yang thought for a moment, looking at the flat and smooth tree trunk, with some worry on his face.

"The quality of this batch of swords is a little too good. They are simply lethal weapons. We should be more cautious when passing on swords in the future."

Chi Yanhong nodded: "Taoism cannot be passed on lightly, and this kind of weapon is also true."

The two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Baiyun Taoist Temple is not a charity. Whether it is passing on Taoism or accepting disciples and teaching them swordsmanship, there are a series of review conditions and contribution requirements.

The two have already formulated a complete Taoist temple system for specific requirements, which will be announced when the first batch of disciples enter Baiyun Taoist Temple.

Because of the abundant materials for the first batch of Qingshuang swords and the sufficient spiritual energy in this place, the number of swords obtained in the end was far more than previously planned.

After the two of them meditated and rested for half a day, they immediately began to forge the second batch of Liuyun Swords.

Qingshuang Liuyun. In the plan of the two, the Qingshuang Sword is a sword below the innate level, while the Liuyun Sword is a sword that matches the innate level of Baiyun Mountain.

As the benchmark realm increases, the materials required become more scarce. Li Yang opened several boxes and moved several pieces of white ore to the Yin-Yang Stone Platform.

These minerals were found by an official survey team at the foot of a snow-capped peak on Mount Tiantai. They are of very high quality and are officially named "Tianwen Stone". They were obtained by Baiyun Mountain in exchange for one ton of high-grade Yueling rice and six red fruits.

Although the quality of 'Tianwen Stone' is high, it is not high enough to catch Li Yang's eye and be used to recast the Nanming Sword. This time it is most suitable for casting the sheath-type Liuyun Sword.

Everything went according to plan. After Li Yang put away the ore of 'Tianwen Stone', Chi Yanhong took out a white sword ball, split it directly with the Zhaoluan Sword, and placed it on the Yin Eye.

It is so luxurious that if one wants to forge hundreds of swords that can rival the innate ones, ordinary spiritual essences of heaven and earth are definitely not enough.

On that day, the Fangshan Stone Tablet contained eighteen sword pills, and Baiyun Mountain obtained five of them. Three magic swords were forged, one for Nanming, one for Zhaoluan, and one for Chengying.
The remaining two sword balls had been placed in the warehouse. This time, the two planned to melt one and divert it to cast the flowing cloud.

Everything went according to plan. The two were already familiar with the process at this time. They injected spiritual energy onto the stone platform with familiarity. One person melted the 'Heavenly Pattern Stone' to form a mold, while the other one guided the Emei spiritual energy to divert the sword pill.

However, with the influx of spiritual energy, unlike Zhu Qingshuang before, the magnetic field in the entire cave suddenly began to change.

There was a clanging sound under the stone platform, as if there was an endless evil spirit restless, and the sky suddenly dimmed.

Li Yang frowned suddenly, and actually felt some tearing and cutting pain on his exposed skin.
-
Mount Emei is over 3,000 meters above sea level, towering into the sea of ​​clouds.

From afar, most of the peaks of Mount Emei are isolated above the sea of ​​clouds, like a mainstay in the ocean, seemingly flying away with the rise and fall of the clouds.

Mount Emei is known as the Seventh Cave Heaven in Taoism, called "Lingling Taimiao Cave Heaven", and has many secrets. As Li Yang and Chi Yanhong began to forge the Liuyun Sword at the foot of the Sacrifice Cliff, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on a peak.

There was remnant snow on the top of the mountain, and the view was blocked by white clouds. There was also a deep pool of water pouring out, mixed with broken ice, sand and gravel.

This is one of the places with the highest concentration of spiritual energy on Mount Emei. At this moment, under the thick snow on the top of the mountain, a faint black light suddenly appeared.

It was a strange stone buried under the snow. It had a shiny black surface and was about eighty to ninety centimeters in size.

"Click"

As the black light emitted by the stone gradually became brighter, a series of tiny cracking sounds suddenly came from under the snow.

A barely perceptible crack was slowly forming on the surface of the stubborn stone...
-
"Sure enough, those Emei Ancient Sword Immortals are not simple. There are still some things left in the sword-making place thousands of years apart!"

Li Yang looked grim. He opened his Yangshen Dharma Eyes and clearly saw wisps of sharp, dark aura slowly rising up from under the stone platform and pouring into the stone platform.

This is the evil spirit of sword-forging left over from the ancient sword immortals. Thinking back to thousands of years ago, countless sword immortals must have forged swords here. When the sword was completed, the sword energy overflowed and scattered, and some of it even remained under the stone platform. Now, for some unknown reason, it was pulled out and slowly merged into the hundreds of Liuyun swords that were about to take shape.

"We might actually be able to forge a weapon of catastrophe!"

Chi Yanhong had a look of horror on her face. Although she did not have the Yangshen Magic Eye and could not see as clearly as Li Yang, she could see with the naked eye that the liquid hanging above the Yangshen Magic Eye had already caused a cutting pain in people's sight before it was integrated into the spiritual energy.

Thousands of years ago, it was an era of flourishing spiritual energy, and there were many sword-making immortals, many Taoist immortals. Even if each of them had a strand of spiritual energy, after thousands of years, only one or two tenths were left, which would be extremely terrifying.

"Everything depends on human effort, and the law is determined by human effort! Since you dare to come, it is God's will!"

Li Yang snorted coldly, but did not reject it. He directly helped to draw the evil sword energy into the material.
