Chapter 810 Early Recognition of the Sword
The knife-raising room seemed to have deliberately avoided bright light. It was completely closed on all sides, and only flower-shaped oil lamps were lit to illuminate the walls.
The walls here are covered with a thick layer of wrinkled rubber, which is white-gray in color and can be seen to be slowly wriggling. It can be clearly felt when stepping on the ground.
The entire room looked like the inner lining of some creature's organ.
In the center, there is a knife-shaped groove more than ten feet long, filled with a clear liquid. I don’t know what it is used for.
Chen Chuan just walked in and felt a slight vibration on Xue Jun's sword, and wisps of light mist overflowed. The alienated tissue in the sword became obviously active, as if this environment was quite beneficial to it.
Feng Heshou said at this time: "Swords are like people. If we want them to adapt to our power, they also need to undergo a transformation.
Except for very rare cases, the sword master usually breaks the limit first, so that the sword master can use his own strength to help and drive the blade in his hand, completing the process more smoothly. "
Chen Chuanshuo said: "Is there any sword that breaks through first?"
Feng Heshou said: "This is true, but it is very rare. This kind of sword was made under certain special circumstances and is difficult to replicate. For a period of time in the past, it was sought after by people, who pursued the so-called 'Sword of the Law'.
Because this kind of knife can in turn affect the alienated organization within the wielder, making the wielder's path forward smoother and breaking limits relatively easy.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, it requires satisfying a certain desire of the knife."
He raised the Wen Lei Knife in his hand and said, "Mr. Chen should be able to feel that the knife also has its own thoughts, but this is born from me, obeys my wishes, and is an extension of my will. I make it obey only me and resist others holding it. Even if they are as close as father and son, it is difficult to control it when held by others.
The will of the kind of sword I am talking about is based on the sword itself, so the person holding the sword becomes a follower. The sword uses the person to practice, and the person is just a puppet.
In the past, certain special schools revered the sword. For example, there was a school abroad called Jiexingguan, whose tradition was to sacrifice the sword with a human being. It was said that the highest level of inheritance was to obtain the sword and then discard it, thus mastering it. However, few could achieve this, so within just fifty years, this lineage declined after three generations. However, for those who seek a moment of brilliance, this sword is the best choice.
After saying this, he took two steps forward and came to the knife groove.
"This is the sword-raising pool. It's filled with nutrients beneficial to the sword. With the cooperation of the sword master, it can allow the alienated tissue within the sword to grow rapidly, thus accelerating its transformation.
Each knife requires an independent knife-maintaining pool and cannot be mixed with other knives. This kind of pool is difficult to build and takes at least eight to ten years. The longer the better.
In my generation, three pools were built. I use one, I plan to leave another for the next generation, and the third is no longer useful, so I gave it to Mr. Chen.
Chen Chuan took a look and asked, "Master Fenghe, is there anything special about this place?"
Feng Heshou said: "Yes, there are some. Before placing it in the sword-raising pool, it is best to let the sword's spirit work on its own, rather than having the sword master urge or force it, which will only achieve half the result with twice the effort.
This requires a subtle influence, allowing the owner's self-spirit and obsession to be known by the will of the sword, until the sword will seek a breakthrough on its own. Only then will the effect be best when placed in the sword-raising pool.
Therefore, during daily combat, even if you don't use your knife, you can set it aside. The knife owner's aura is constantly exuding, and if the knife's consciousness is constantly influenced by it, it will easily undergo self-transformation. If the knife owner is always the winner, it will further enhance the knife's will."
Chen Chuan suddenly understood. No wonder Feng Heshou had been so supportive of him carrying his sword in battle, even if he didn't use it and just kept it by his side. It turned out this was a way to maintain his sword. It was the same reason why he had felt threatened by the external threat after breaking through the time-limited alienation organization and had to seek a higher level of life.
However, he felt that Xue Jundao had a unique advantage in terms of self-growth and did not need him to urge him at all. He had always been very proactive.
He said, "Thank you, Master Fenghe, for telling me, but I don't think I need to do that with this knife."
"It seems that Mr. Chen's sword is very suitable for him."
Feng Heshou was a little surprised. Usually, for a fighter who has just broken through, it takes a long time to cultivate his weapon to this level, and it is not surprising that it takes several years.
Judging from the information he had received before, Chen Chuan should have just made a breakthrough not long ago, which can only mean that this alienated weapon is indeed naturally closely connected with its owner.
He said, "Originally, I wanted to prepare some communication rituals for Mr. Chen to promote the sword's will. This is unique to our Langtao Pavilion. But since Mr. Chen's sword does not need this, we can skip this step and directly enter the specific method of sword cultivation.
Maintaining a knife is also a skill. There are some unique breathing methods that can deepen the communication between the knife and the knife owner. It is best to practice it every day. Before entering the knife pool, you must first use this technique to awaken all the alienated tissues on the knife.
It’s just that the method of Lang Tao Pavilion is most suitable for Lang Tao’s fighting style, so this cannot be taught to Mr. Chen. But fortunately, I have some universal techniques that are applicable all over the world, whether it is Dashun or Linax Federation. Anyone who is good at using a knife can use it. If there are better techniques to use in the future, it will not cause any hindrance.
Chen Chuan doesn't need any special methods. The general method is fine. He can find other methods himself later. He should be able to find them from Wu Yi.
Feng Heshou then orally dictated a method, and Chen Chuan memorized it after listening to it once. The main thing was that this thing was not complicated. The difficulty was that he needed to lead the alienated tissue in the knife and his own alienated tissue to enter the same breathing frequency.
He tried it immediately, and after two times, he felt that the alienated tissue in Xue Jun's sword was communicated smoothly, and he could feel every change in the alienated tissue.
He looked up and said, "Master Fenghe, I'm ready."
Feng Heshou took a look and confirmed that there was no problem. He then leaned over and said, "Okay, now Mr. Chen, place the knife in the knife pool and let it stay there for an hour. If you need to make any further adjustments, I will remind you."
Chen Chuan took a few steps forward, pulled the Xuejun sword out of the scabbard, and then held it with both hands and slowly placed the sword into the sword pool. As soon as the Xuejun sword entered the liquid, it sank down.
After a while, the blade slowly emitted light, and then the water began to lower its height visibly.
Feng Heshou was watching from the side and was very surprised. These nutrient solutions were usually enough to last for several hours, but now it seemed like it would only take a few minutes.
This knife looks like it's in a very special situation.
He walked to the side and turned a valve, and immediately more nutrient solution was added to the knife pool.
However, the Xuejun Sword absorbs almost as much as it comes. Fortunately, these nutrient solutions are not like the food materials used by fighters, which can be preserved for a long time. They have been accumulated in Langtao Pavilion for hundreds of years, and only a few people actually use this kind of sword, so there are enough reserves.
After three hours, Xue Jun Dao's absorption finally stopped and became quiet.
Feng Heshou observed it for a moment longer and said with appreciation, "If Mr. Chen's sword could transform, it would surely be a fine one. Now that it has been nourished, it has entered a deep dormancy. We can wait and see again tomorrow. Judging by the condition of the sword, we may need to repeat today's process then."
Chen Chuan said hello and walked out of the knife-keeping room with him.
He stayed on the island for the next two days. In addition to looking after Xue Jundao, he also discussed some fighting issues with Feng Heshou. In particular, Feng Heshou followed the way of human physiognomy, and there were many experiences and insights that he could learn from.
At the same time, he also learned that after Langtao Pavilion became affiliated with Dashun, the country would naturally bear the cost of Feng Heshou's training. This was a necessary procedure.
As for this rift, Dashun currently has no intention of confiscating it, and he is still responsible for its protection, but the next generation of disciples will need to hand it over to the state.
This can be considered a buffer. After all, the next generation has not enjoyed and utilized this rift yet, so there will not be too much resistance. Besides, with the country responsible for supplying cultivation resources, they probably will not consider taking the risk to go deep into it.
In short, Lang Tao Pavilion was dependent on the Dashun government and needed to respond to its call at any time. However, this was necessary because the changes in the world meant that the previous method of inheritance could no longer be maintained. This choice was actually beneficial to both parties.
On the morning of the third day, Chen Chuan entered the knife-keeping room and took out the Xuejun Knife from the knife pool. He found that it was covered with a thick layer of white scab.
After he knocked it off, the blade was exposed, and he felt it was slightly heavy in his hand. Although the Xuejun Knife had become much heavier than it was at the beginning due to the growth of dense alienated tissue, it felt heavier now than it was three days ago, which meant that there had indeed been changes in the past few days.
After wiping it with a soft cloth, he tried to transfer the spiritual fire into it. First, the blade trembled slightly, and then a faint light flashed on the blade, and wisps of white mist floated out.
He nodded. This was much better than before. After becoming a fighter, just by holding the Xuejun Sword he knew that the blade could not withstand the infusion of his true energy. It was like holding something fragile.
But now his power can flow into it smoothly, even though it can only carry a very small part. But this is already a good start. Next he just needs to find a way to make it stronger.
Feng Heshou exclaimed, "Mr. Chen's sword hasn't truly transformed yet, but it can already withstand a certain amount of true power. It's indeed a good sword. With daily sharpening, as long as there's enough materials to maintain it, it should be handy in three months. I have extra materials here, and I can give you a batch when you leave, Mr. Chen."
