Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 3 Five Elements Sword Armor
There was still one day before the fleet was scheduled to set sail, so Lu Qingshan did not just wait around. Instead, he took the King of the Western Rat to stroll around the Bi Bo City.
Before leaving Zhenjiang Prefecture, Tan Tai Qingrun and Lu Zhou each gave him a storage bag.
Lu Zhou was very simple and crude. There was nothing else in his storage bag except spirit stones, but the quantity was indeed quite large.
As for Tan Tai Qingrun, he was very particular. The storage bag he was given contained two jade slips.
One of the jade slips contains the secret of [Five Elements Sword Armor].
Armor for men and clothes for women.
The Five Elements Sword Armor and the Golden Sword Robe practiced by Tan Tai Qingrun are actually two top-notch defensive techniques that are passed down from generation to generation.
But unlike the Golden Sword Armor, the Five Elements Sword Armor encompasses the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is more complete and more powerful, but also more difficult to practice successfully.
Because the Five Elements Sword Armor should actually be considered as five spells.
The sword robe is also of the five elements, but the materials needed to practice the sword robe are so expensive, the energy consumed is so great, and the contribution points needed to exchange for a complete five-element sword robe method are so high that Tan Tai Qingrun can only choose the most widely applicable gold sword robe method from the five elements to practice.
Lu Qingshan made great contributions in the Corpse Puppet Rebellion, and Zhishoulou directly bestowed on him the complete Five Elements Sword Armor technique, which even Jindan cultivators could hardly possess.
There was no reason for Lu Qingshan not to learn this top-notch defensive technique.
However, the Five Elements Sword Armor is different from ordinary spells, and its practice requires the assistance of additional spiritual materials.
After leaving Zhenjiang Prefecture, Lu Qingshan traveled thousands of miles all the way. He first went through the various prefectures in Qingzhou, and then crossed Yuezhou with the help of a teleportation array, and finally arrived at Jianzhou where Bibo City was located.
Every time he arrived at a new city along the way, he would go into the city to search for the auxiliary spiritual materials needed to purchase the Five Elements Sword Armor.
He spent most of the spirit stones given by Lu Zhou, but in the end, he still didn't gather all the spirit materials needed for any attribute sword armor.
As a coastal city, Bi Bo City's water element spiritual energy is naturally far superior to the other four elements. Correspondingly, water-attributed spiritual materials are also superior to those in inland areas in terms of variety, quality and price.
Lu Qingshan hoped that he could gather all the spiritual materials needed for the water sword armor in this place.
Even if it is just the initial stage of forming the water sword armor, it requires eighteen kinds of third-grade water spiritual materials and one fourth-grade water spiritual material.
Of the eighteen third-grade spiritual materials, Lu Qingshan has collected sixteen so far. Now he only lacks the remaining two third-grade materials and the only fourth-grade spiritual material.
Generally speaking, fourth-grade spiritual materials are the main materials used by Nascent Soul cultivators to refine magical instruments.
Considering the cost of cultivation, the Five Elements Sword Armor should be a technique suitable for Golden Core Sword practitioners.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan was financially strong, even richer than ordinary Jindan cultivators, and could support him to start practicing the Five Elements Sword Armor during the Foundation Establishment Period.
…
Compared with the Daxia Trading Company in other prefecture cities, the scale of the Daxia Trading Company in Bi Bo City can only be described as transcendent and luxurious. The building is dozens of meters high and the decoration is magnificent.
Lu Qingshan walked into the gate of Daxia Trading Company and was immediately greeted by a pretty maid in blue shirt with a smile.
"I need a standard sample of the third-grade water elemental spiritual material Xuanshui Jade, more than three taels of Canglang Root, and more than one tael of the fourth-grade water elemental spiritual material Aquamarine." Lu Qingshan went straight to the point.
"Spiritual materials above the third grade are on the third floor. Please follow me." The maid brought Lu Qingshan to the third floor.
The moment he stepped onto the third floor, Lu Qingshan sensed waves of inexplicable spiritual power in the air.
There are all kinds of formations here. Once someone dares to act wildly here, these formations will immediately be activated with the force of thunder and strangle the person.
The maid walked up to an old man on the third floor and whispered a few words to him.
The old man nodded, stood up and said to Lu Qingshan: "Young Master, please wait a moment."
Lu Qingshan indicated that he understood.
The old man walked to the third floor and came back with three jade boxes in a short while. He handed them to Lu Qingshan and explained, "Xuanshui Jade and Canglang Root are not rare in Bibo City, and the price is 15% cheaper than other places. But this aquamarine is different. It has always been an excellent spiritual material for refining water element magic tools. Even here, it is out of stock all year round. Young master is lucky. Our company happened to purchase a batch of aquamarine in recent days, otherwise it really can't meet your needs. However, aquamarine is such a scarce spiritual material that I can't give you a discount on the price."
When Lu Qingshan opened the jade box, an extremely rich aura of water element rushed towards him, as if he was in the waves, and gorgeous blue and clear crystals like liquid came into view.
This is aquamarine.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
I didn't expect it to be so smooth. I only had to go to Da Xia Trading Company to collect the last three missing spiritual materials for the Water Sword Armor.
This means that he can start refining the Water Sword Armor.
Lu Qingshan said happily: "That's how it should be. Price is not an issue. I want all three spiritual ingredients."
After almost emptying his remaining savings and paying a huge amount of spirit stones that would make even a Jindan cultivator feel painful, Lu Qingshan left Daxia Trading Company with satisfaction, carrying the three spiritual materials.
…
The fleet that Lu Qingshan was on set off early the next morning. The fleet consisted of nine large ships with a capacity of 10,000 tons. The merchant ships had a very deep draft because most of the cargo they transported was grain, with only a small amount of rare items such as tea, lacquerware, and spices.
Because of his generosity, Lu Qingshan was arranged to stay in the most luxurious cabin, which was not only spacious and bright, but also had very thoughtful service.
The wind direction at sea often changes. There are tailwinds, but headwinds are also not uncommon. However, for wooden sailing ships that still rely on wind power for power, what they fear most is not headwinds but no wind.
When there is a headwind, just control the boat to move in a zigzag shape and the headwind will turn into a crosswind. The stronger the wind, the faster the boat will go.
According to the captain's many years of sailing experience, it takes more than a month from departure to arrival at the Poseidon Islands.
This period of time was not long for Lu Qingshan, and he happened to have something to do.
Refining the water sword armor.
The Five Elements Sword Armor is extremely special. It is half magic weapon and half spell. Lu Qingshan cannot master this spell directly by consuming experience points. He can only work hard and slowly refine it.
It is worth mentioning that during the more than three months of traveling, since most of the journey was done by relying on sword-wielding skills, with such high-frequency use, his sword-wielding skills, which were originally only level 1, have naturally been upgraded to level 5.
The speed at which this skill level is improved may seem a bit exaggerated, but this is not because the sword-controlling technique is too simple, but because the natural sword species has given Lu Qingshan a sword talent that is far beyond that of ordinary people.
If an ordinary sword practitioner wants to improve his sword-controlling skills from level 1 to level 5, he will definitely have to spend seven or eight years of hard work.
With the blessing of his natural sword talent, Lu Qingshan's speed in mastering sword skills has reached an extremely exaggerated level.
In the art of kendo, talent is far more important than hard work.
