Lu Wei and Li Yuanba separated in the Sword Cave. Lu Wei originally wanted to invite Li Yuanba to visit his cave, but Li Yuanba refused.
The cave in the Sword Cave is extremely private, and Li Yuanba wanted to go back and study what he had gained this time.
Li Yuanba and Lu Wei separated. He did not use sword escape along the way, but he still used sword escape when they were at a little distance.
He had used the Xingyi Sword to perform sword escape once in battle, and he discovered that the speed of the sword escape was somewhat different.
Now when he used it, he found that the speed rule mark on the Xingyi Sword also had an accelerating effect on the sword escape. Of course, the prerequisite was that the Xingyi Sword had to be used as the target of the sword escape.
His figure flashed and he arrived in front of the cave, even though he deliberately slowed down his speed.
When he was about to enter the cave, the figure of Old Jian suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Yuan Ba, has your natal flying sword been strengthened?" asked Old Jian.
There was a rare look of curiosity in his eyes. He had been sensing the situation of the entire Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion. When Li Yuanba performed the sword escape, he sensed the strangeness of Li Yuanba's natal flying sword.
He was a little bit unbelievable, because Li Yuanba's natal flying sword should not appear in the hands of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Master Jian, the reason I went out this time is to meet a fellow Taoist and ask him to help you strengthen your natal flying sword!" Li Yuanba answered half-truthfully.
Without waiting for Master Jian to make a request, he took out his own natal flying sword, Xing Yi, from his body and held it in his hand.
Old Jian looked at Xing Yijian with surprise in his eyes. He saw the speed rule mark on Xing Yijian and confirmed that Xing Yijian was just as he had judged before.
"Master Jian, please come into the cave and sit for a while. I just happened to get some top-grade spiritual tea!" Li Yuanba invited with a smile.
He was still very curious about his natal flying sword Xing Yijian, and he wanted to get more information from Master Jian.
"It's just fine. If your spiritual tea is not good, I will be angry!" Old Jian understood what Li Yuanba meant and said with a smile.
After entering the cave and coming to the hall, Li Yuanba took out the fourth-grade tea set and brewed a pot of fourth-grade spiritual tea. The spiritual tea he used was naturally the fourth-grade spiritual tea he got from his original body, Li Shiming.
Although he did not use the same tea-making method as Li Shiming, the quality of this pot of spiritual tea still surpassed the fourth-grade spiritual tea sold outside, thanks to the fourth-grade spiritual tea brewed by Li Shiming himself.
"Good tea, I'll take some of this spiritual tea back when I leave!" Old Jian was not polite to Li Yuanba at all, but this impoliteness was exactly an attitude, treating Li Yuanba as a junior.
Li Yuanba smiled and took out a jade box, placed thirty portions of fourth-grade spiritual tea in it, and presented it to Old Jian.
He didn't want to take too much. This level of fourth-grade spiritual tea, the less there is, the more precious it is. If he took too much, its value would seem low.
"You asked me to come in and sit down because you want to know about your natal flying sword, right?" Old General Jian opened the jade box and took a look at it, then put it away and asked with a smile on his face.
"That's exactly what I wanted to ask Master Jian for advice!" Li Yuanba bowed and replied.
"I won't ask you who you are looking for to help you strengthen your natal flying sword. You are lucky to know a weapon refiner who has such means. You must find ways to make friends with him in the future." Old Jian took a sip of the spiritual tea, feeling the charm of the spiritual tea, and said lightly.
Li Yuanba nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he was thinking about the weapon refining skills of his original body Li Shiming, which were probably unique in the entire world of immortal cultivation.
If it weren't for the fact that his natal flying sword Xing Yijian was affected by the rules of heaven and earth after the weapon calamity, and the original 400 million speed runes and 50 million solidity runes were hidden and covered by the speed rule imprint, he would not have dared to take out Xing Yijian to show to Old Jian.
"Based on a fourth-grade top-quality sword blank, he was able to upgrade the flying sword to the level of a spiritual treasure. There actually are such weapon refiners in the world!" Old Jian continued with an exclamation.
When Li Yuanba heard this, he discovered a key word: 'Lingbao'.
It seems that this "spiritual treasure" should be of a higher level than the magic weapon, but he has never heard of any information about the "spiritual treasure".
"Master Jian, what is a spiritual treasure?" Li Yuanba couldn't help but interrupt Master Jian and asked.
"A spiritual treasure is a treasure that possesses a spirit. Of course, the spirit of a spiritual treasure needs to reach a certain level of wisdom, which is not comparable to those ignorant fake spirits. To refine a spiritual treasure, one generally needs to reach the Mahayana stage!" When Old Jian said this, he glanced at Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba asked someone to help strengthen his natal flying sword. Since it had not been long since he was promoted and his combat power was not yet completely stable, it meant that the cultivator who was willing to help him strengthen his natal flying sword had an agreed time or was limited in time and did not want to expose himself.
Otherwise, with Li Yuanba's current status in Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, he would be able to entertain fellow Taoists on Jianfeng.
If the person Li Yuanba invited was really a Mahayana cultivator, then which Mahayana cultivator took a fancy to Li Yuanba? These were the questions in Old Jian's mind.
However, when Jian Lao glanced at Li Yuanba, he did not sense any guilt in Li Yuanba's heart, which meant that Li Yuanba had not done anything that betrayed Jian Yi Chong Xiao Pavilion.
Old Jian was very confident in his ability to detect human hearts. Not to mention that Li Yuanba was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, even if he had reached the level of a great cultivator, Old Jian could still see through Li Yuanba's mind at a glance.
“It’s not in vain that I got your spiritual tea. Your natal flying sword has reached the level of a spiritual treasure. I will teach you a secret method to hide the spiritual treasure aura of your natal flying sword. Otherwise, if you really meet a greedy Mahayana cultivator, I’m afraid he will try to snatch it away!” Old Jian smiled and took out a jade slip and threw it to Li Yuanba.
Then, Master Jian’s figure disappeared from the spot, taking away the jade box in front of him.
"Lingbao!" Li Yuanba muttered to himself.
He picked up the jade slip and placed it on his forehead. He scanned the contents of the jade slip and also made a backup on the IBM z15.
There is a 'secret method of controlling spirits and nurturing treasures' in the jade slip. This is not a secret method for sword cultivators, but a universal secret method for controlling and nurturing spirit treasures. Hiding the aura of spirit treasures is just a by-product.
This "Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures" is even more precious than what Elder Jian said. It seems that the fourth-grade spiritual tea was not given away for free.
In addition to the 'Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures', there is also an introduction to spiritual treasures.
This introduction is more detailed than what Master Jian said. Li Yuanba guessed that it was Master Jian who added it to the jade slip temporarily.
Under normal circumstances, only Mahayana cultivators can possess spiritual treasures. The main reason is that fifth-grade refining materials are too scarce, so scarce that even Mahayana cultivators cannot get too much. At most, they can only obtain enough for one spiritual treasure.
Why only Mahayana cultivators can possess it? That’s because fifth-grade refining materials are almost invisible in the world of immortal cultivation.
The cave opened up by a Mahayana cultivator will produce a very small amount of fifth-grade materials in the core of the cave. Probably the fifth-grade materials produced in the cave by a Mahayana cultivator in his lifetime are only enough to refine one spiritual treasure.
It can be seen how rare and precious spiritual treasures are. Most of the Mahayana cultivators, when their lifespan ends or before they die accidentally, will scatter their spiritual treasures in the cave heaven, and use the spiritual treasures to stabilize the cave heaven so that the cave heaven can be passed down.
Therefore, even if a Mahayana cultivator dies, few spiritual treasures will flow out.
Seeing this, Li Yuanba couldn't help but sweat profusely. He then realized how dangerous it was to rashly show his natal flying sword to Master Jian.
He really underestimated the value of his natal flying sword Xing Yijian. If he really calculated it based on the value of a spiritual treasure, even if his natal flying sword Xing Yijian lost half of its power in the hands of others, its value would be enough to tempt a Mahayana cultivator.
No wonder Master Jian gave him the 'Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures' without telling him the value of the spiritual treasure. If he had told him in person, he would have thought that Master Jian was trying to steal his spiritual treasure.
It can also be seen from here that Master Jian was really good to him and did not interrogate him about the weapon refiner who had strengthened his natal flying sword Xing Yijian.
A weapon refiner who can strengthen a top-grade fourth-grade magic weapon into a spiritual treasure, I am afraid that any Mahayana cultivator in the entire world of immortal cultivation will rush to make friends with him. Of course, in addition to making friends, there are other means, and these means are not so friendly.
In fact, Master Jian regarded this weapon refiner as a Mahayana weapon refiner. Since this Mahayana weapon refiner was willing to make friends with Li Yuanba, it was a good thing. Master Jian himself had no other request for spiritual treasures, so he would not risk offending a Mahayana weapon refiner by forcing himself to get to know him.
"I must be careful next time I refine spiritual treasures!" Li Yuanba said to himself.
Fortunately, only Lu Wei and Jian Lao had seen his natal flying sword in action, and all the other cultivators who had seen it had died.
Lu Wei obviously didn't know Ling Bao, and since he saved Lu Wei's life, he wouldn't say it out loud even if he had some guesses.
Not to mention Master Jian, the jade slip of 'Secret Method of Controlling Souls and Pregnant Treasures' in his hand can explain his attitude.
Li Yuanba's mind was immersed in the 'Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures'. This secret method for spiritual treasures contained methods on how to nourish the spirit of the weapon. This was much better than the method he had figured out himself.
The weapon spirit of his natal magic weapon Xing Yijian is also the sword spirit. With the cultivation method of 'Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures', the time for Xing Yijian to perform ultra-long-range attacks will be greatly advanced.
Of course, the focus now is still on the secret method of hiding the spiritual treasure in the 'Secret Method of Controlling Spirits and Pregnant Treasures'. He swung the sword with this flying sword, just like a child holding gold in a busy city, which was as dangerous.
The secret method to conceal the aura of spiritual treasure is not difficult. This not difficult is relatively speaking. The troublesome part of this secret method is that it is an extremely complex pattern. You need to use your mind to quickly draw an extremely complex pattern to cover every part of the natal flying sword.
Even for a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, who has extremely strong memory and control over his body, it is not easy to master this complex pattern in a short time.
But after Li Yuanba contacted IBM z15, the task became extremely simple.
IBMz15 scanned the pattern of the hidden spiritual treasure, and then transmitted the information to the original body Li Shiming. The special connection between the original body Li Shiming and his natal magic weapon IBMz15 enabled him to master the hidden spiritual treasure pattern instantly.
Afterwards, the original body Li Shiming shared the hidden spiritual treasure pattern with Li Yuanba. The whole process seemed complicated, but it actually only happened in a few breaths.
Li Yuanba swept his fingers across his natal flying sword, Xingyi Sword. Wherever his fingers passed, extremely complex patterns appeared on the surface of the sword under his fingers.
When his fingers moved from the tail of the sword to the tip of the sword, the terrifying aura on the original flying sword Xingyi disappeared, leaving only the aura of a top-grade fourth-grade flying sword.
He curiously used his spiritual sense to contact his natal flying sword, Xing Yijian. As long as he did not use the induction with his natal flying sword, he would not be able to find any abnormalities with Xing Yijian by simply scanning with his spiritual sense.
He shook his head with amusement. Old Jian had said that this was prepared to prevent Mahayana cultivators from discovering the aura of spiritual treasures. How could a mere Nascent Soul middle stage cultivator like him discover anything unusual?
"No, what realm is Master Jian at?" He suddenly thought of a question.
The 'Secret Method of Controlling Souls and Pregnant Treasures' that Master Jian took out was aimed at Mahayana cultivators, so Master Jian's realm was probably also that of a Mahayana cultivator.
He had guessed about the realm of Old Sword Master before, but he had never thought that a great Mahayana master who could own an independent cave heaven would appear beside him, so he always regarded Old Sword Master as a being stronger than a great cultivator but weaker than a Mahayana master.
But today he broke his previous judgment and thought that Master Jian might be a true Mahayana cultivator.
"Never mind, I'll just go into seclusion and practice first!" He put aside the thoughts in his mind, he knew what he needed to do most.
As for the strengthening of 'Wanjian Peak', he didn't need to think about these things too much. Matters in this regard were left to the original body Li Shiming to study. With the help of IBMz15, it would be faster and more comprehensive than him thinking alone here.
He took out a fourth-grade high-level cultivation auxiliary elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and swallowed it. He immersed his mind completely in practicing the "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art".
As the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' was put into practice, he discovered something different from before.
After he was promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he still went into seclusion for a short period of time to accumulate some spiritual power.
But when he was practicing the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky' at that time, he did not have the current practice speed. This was not just the effect of the fourth-grade advanced practice auxiliary elixir that he took in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
As a master of alchemy, he has a clear and accurate judgment on the effects of taking fourth-grade elixirs on cultivation.
His cultivation speed was obviously not only affected by the effect of the advanced cultivation auxiliary elixir in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but also by another factor, which greatly improved his cultivation speed.
"It's Xing Yijian!" He sensed it a little and found out the reason.
It turned out to be the energized flying sword Xing Yijian in Yuanying's hand. The sword spirit in it could actually make the energy in his body circulate faster, and the spiritual power generated was also more refined.
Whether it is speeding up the operation of the exercises or generating more refined spiritual power, it can greatly improve his practice efficiency. With the same practice time, the effect obtained will be stronger.
