Chapter 50 Blood Sacrifice Evil Method
This booklet on sword-wielding contains three chapters: sword-refining, sword-maintaining, and sword-wielding.
"Sword refining" as the name suggests, is how to refine a flying sword.
Ni Kun flipped through it and found that the content of the sword-refining chapter was meaningless to him now.
Even to Mrs. Mao, it was meaningless.
Because in order to refine a flying sword, one must first cultivate a "true fire".
The materials must be refined with real fire and talismans must be cast into it before it can be refined into a sword embryo.
"Real fire? I don't even have any real energy, how can I be really angry..."
Ni Kun shook his head. Judging from the contents of the secret booklet, Mao Tai might not have been able to refine the true fire and was not qualified to refine the sword himself.
"So this flying sword should have been given to him by his master, the Golden Body Arhat Fa Yuan."
Although the sword-refining method was temporarily useless, Ni Kun continued to read the "Sword-refining Chapter" with great interest to increase his knowledge reserves.
The materials needed for sword-making are varied and all the five elements of spiritual materials can be used to make swords.
Such as thousand-year-old spiritual wood, jade essence, fire essence, black ice essence, Taiyi gold essence and so on.
Even poisonous insects such as the golden silkworm poison and the sky centipede poison can be used to refine swords.
However, most sword cultivators still use gold-based spiritual materials such as Taiyi Refined Gold, Taiyi Real Gold, Taibai Refined Gold, White Iron Elite, and Sun Real Gold to refine swords.
The reason, of course, is that the gold element spiritual materials have the largest reserves and are easiest to obtain.
The other four types of spiritual materials are not only rare, but also very difficult to refine. Generally, only real big guys with special magical powers are qualified to refine them.
The booklet says that flying swords are divided into two types: "ancient and modern" - the so-called "ancient and modern" naturally refers to the ancient and modern of the Shushan world.
The "ancient swords" in the Shushan world are basically normal-sized swords, that is, three feet or more, or even four feet or five feet long.
In the current Shushan world, that is, the "present time" where the Golden Body Arhat Fayuan and others live, they basically only refine "small swords" that are a little over one foot long, or even a few inches long, with only a sword body and blade, but no hilt.
The reason for this is certainly not because of technological advancement, which makes modern swords superior to ancient swords.
It's simply because of the lack of materials.
In ancient times, all kinds of spiritual materials were very abundant, and the monks were wealthy and powerful, so they could naturally refine big swords, long swords , and various large magical weapons.
By the present time in Shushan, spiritual materials have become increasingly scarce and can no longer withstand the test, so they can only use the limited spiritual materials to refine small swords.
Anyway, the small sword can also kill the enemy. When activated, it can also emit sword energy and sword rainbow that is several meters long or even dozens of meters long. It can still be invincible and can cut the enemy's body and destroy the enemy's soul. Its power is not necessarily weaker than the ancient sword. It doesn't matter if it is small.
After reading the chapter on sword-refining with great interest, Ni Kun continued to read the chapter on sword-maintaining.
This chapter on sword cultivation is related to him.
The so-called sword nurturing is naturally a method of warming the flying sword, purifying the sword embryo, sharpening the sword energy, etc. to increase the power of the flying sword, as well as deepening the connection between oneself and the flying sword.
The more sufficient the nurturing time is, the greater the power of the flying sword will be, and the easier it will be to control.
There are many ways to maintain a sword. One can seal the sword in a natural spiritual orifice where various spiritual veins converge, use the power of heaven and earth to temper and nourish the flying sword, or one can refine it with spiritual medicine and true qi.
These are considered the proper methods of sword training.
There are many irregular ways of maintaining swords, including blood sacrifice, soul sacrifice, poison refining, etc., all kinds of sinister methods.
However, whether it is a formal method or an informal one, most of them have nothing to do with Ni Kun.
As I said, he didn't even have true Qi, so he couldn't use his own true Qi to warm and nourish the flying sword.
Even if one wants to use spiritual medicine to refine the flying sword, the main medicine and most of the auxiliary medicines in the secret book for refining flying swords cannot be found in this world!
As for natural spiritual orifices, let alone such treasures, which were not common in the Shushan world, let alone this world? Even if they really existed, Ni Kun could not find them.
Therefore, the only method he can use now is "blood sacrifice".
This blood sacrifice certainly does not mean randomly killing people with a flying sword.
Even if it is the magic technique of blood sacrifice, it cannot be done by simply killing people randomly. There are many considerations involved.
In order to sacrifice their magic flying swords with blood, the magic sword immortals often need to find many people whose birth dates, physiques, and bloodlines meet special conditions. They will first torture and train them with extremely cruel magic methods, and then take their blood, blood, and souls at a specific time before using them to sacrifice the swords.
Ni Kun is a serious person and would never use any magic techniques.
He could only sacrifice his own blood to the sword.
This method is not difficult. The booklet contains the method of using one's own blood and sweat to refine a flying sword. Ni Kun studied it carefully for a while and knew what to do.
However, he was not in a hurry to raise and sacrifice the sword for the time being, so he first turned to the third chapter on sword control.
The orthodox sword control method recorded in the "Sword Control Chapter" is to imprint a bit of spiritual consciousness on the sword, and use the mysterious resonance between spiritual consciousness and the soul to control the flying sword from a distance. And through this resonance, one's own true energy can be transmitted to the flying sword from a distance, lossless, and instantaneous, stimulating the power of the flying sword.
Therefore, releasing the sword will consume true energy.
When exerting the same power, the better the quality of the flying sword, the less true energy it consumes.
For example, if Mao Tai needs to consume 30% of his true energy to cut down the same building, Li Yingqiong, the daughter of the Shushan world and holding the Ziying sword, only needs to consume a trace of true energy.
This is why Mao Tai needs to restrain the use of flying sword and not use the sword unless he meets the real enemy.
"So I still can't use the orthodox sword-controlling method?"
The corner of Ni Kun's mouth twitched slightly.
If you want to wield a sword using the orthodox method, you must also cultivate true Qi.
This true qi is formed by drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body for tempering. In martial arts, it is called "innate true qi".
Like the secret of longevity, the first step is to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refine it into an innate true qi.
As for ordinary martial arts, it takes many years of practice before one can return to the original state.
Therefore, the martial arts masters in the Tang Dynasty world, if they have cultivated innate true qi and their mental strength is strong enough to develop spiritual consciousness, they can also control flying swords.
For example, Zhu Yuyan could refine the flying sword that Ni Kun had seized. And with her skills, she would have no problem firing two or three swords in a day.
Xianxian or Shi Feixuan could also refine it. And they could try their best, even if it meant they would suffer heavy losses, and barely send out a sword.
Its power might be slightly weaker than the sword light emitted by Mao Tai, but it would have no problem killing the two Xuanming Elders and the four holy monks in seconds.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, in the Shushan world, the importance of flying swords and magic weapons cannot be overstated.
Mao Tai is a supporting role among supporting roles, and his martial arts skills may not be much stronger than Zhu Yuyan, but with one strike of his sword, he can kill both Zhu Yuyan and Ni Kun in seconds, leaving Zhu Yuyan no chance to fight back.
Therefore, if Zhu Yuyan used the flying sword and suddenly released it at a very close distance, without giving the three masters a chance to react, it is possible to kill the three great masters in one breath.
As for Ni Kun.
He doesn't have true energy, but he can still use unorthodox methods to steer the sword.
Well, it’s the “blood sacrifice” method again.
Use your own blood and energy to refine and nourish the flying sword, so that the flying sword can establish a mysterious connection with your mind. When flying the sword, you consume your blood and energy to activate the flying sword, and the power is not much weaker than flying the sword with true Qi.
It's just that the consumption will be a bit high.
Strike a sword is equivalent to suffering a serious injury with excessive blood loss.
If you use it too frequently, deficiency of Qi and blood and physical weakness are minor issues, but damage to your foundation and shortening your lifespan are inevitable.
“But I have two body-building skills, the Bull Demon’s Great Strength Method and the Tiger Demon’s Bone Refining Fist. I will first refine my body to be as vigorous as a dragon and as strong as a tiger, and fill my blood to bursting point. Then I can use the sword sparingly. I think the impact will not be too great.
"Besides, I still have Blood Bodhi. Every time I consume my Qi and blood, I can use Blood Bodhi to nourish my body. This is better than using a life-shortening move all the time, right?"
In fact, from the first moment he saw Mao Tai's flying sword, the passive copying ability of "Infinite Sword System" had already copied the flying sword into the sword world. As long as he wanted, he could project it out losslessly at any time.
However, the pirated flying sword projected out is one level lower than the genuine one. And if it is simply projected, it can only be used as a dagger to chop people in the hand.
If you want to make the sword fly out, you still have to sacrifice the flying sword first, and then consume your true energy or essence to release the flying sword.
Or you could consume your lifespan and perform the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" maneuver.
Either you deploy the inherent barrier of "Infinite Sword System", pull the enemy into the barrier, and then use the flying sword skill that comes with the barrier to release the sword, but this will also consume life, and there is no possibility of shortcuts.
So Ni Kun thought about it for a while and decided to use the blood sacrifice method to refine the flying sword.
At worst, I can just use the flying sword as little as possible in the future.
Blood sacrifice to nourish the sword requires safety and quietness, without being disturbed, otherwise there may be backlash, resulting in serious injuries or even death.
Therefore, Ni Kun had no plan to raise a sword at this moment. He put the book on sword-wielding into his mustard seed ring, and took out the Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist to read.
This secret book with annotations by masters is naturally much more detailed and profound than the formulas narrated by Zhang Liang. After reading it for a while, Ni Kun felt as if he suddenly understood everything and gained a deeper understanding of the Bull Demon's Great Power Method.
After pondering it carefully for a while and seeing that Zhu Yuyan and the others were still appreciating the murals, he put the booklet in his arms, took out a handful of blood bodhi and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing up his cheeks like a hamster.
Then he started to punch while slowly and bit by bit swallowing the blood bodhi juice.
The "key" on the little finger of your left hand is going to lose its spiritual power, right? Then I will let the Blood Bodhi have an endless supply of spiritual power. Before your spiritual power is lost, I will use the Bull Demon's Great Power Method to refine it first, and I will always be able to grab some of it.
I just don't believe that there is really no way to master the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method in one go!
