Chapter 55 Chapter 55 He awakened all the plants and trees in Xuanshan...
Senior Brother Pei is so smart. After Bai Lu demonstrated it briefly, he grasped the key points. However, as a formation practitioner, he doesn't usually fly a sword, so he still needs to practice.
As for his sword, it was just taken out from the warehouse. It was shining with precious light, but it was the first time it saw the light of day.
Not long after she came out, Chao Tianzi also came, standing beside her like a ghost, staring at her quietly, making Bai Lu feel a little uncomfortable...
After the demonstration, Bai Lu complained: "I am a sword cultivator after all, you can't completely stop me from flying the sword, you are too stingy."
Chao Tianzi opened his mouth blankly: "...I am stingy? It was your master who asked me to serve tea!"
Bai Lu understood: "You are taking advantage of the situation, right? Never mind. I didn't scold you."
Emperor Chao: “…”
But Bai Lu still drank the tea, thinking that her master was so nice that he would think of serving her tea whenever he went out for outdoor activities.
"Brother Bai, I want to perform a formation recently. Can you help me take a look at it?" Pei Zhaoting asked.
"But I don't know much about the formation. Next time, you can come to our class reunion and we can show you together." Bai Lu was a little absent-minded after drinking tea, and advised, "Brother Pei, I think you are too withdrawn. You should come to more activities!"
Although Pei Zhaoting inherited Xuanshan's tradition of protecting his fellow disciples, he did not interact much with his fellow disciples. At most, he would say a few words to those on the same peak. He never felt that there was anything wrong with doing so.
But it must be said that the trip to the Qingdi Secret Realm had changed Pei Zhaoting a little, and he actually agreed: "Okay, then I'll bother you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go in now." Bai Lu was the first to enter the room.
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Lu subconsciously looked for Huo Xuexiang's figure. Seeing Huo Xuexiang's hand slightly raised, she almost immediately jumped to Huo Xuexiang's side, making people think that he went there first and then Huo Xuexiang raised his hand.
"Are you back soon?" Huo Xuexiang asked.
"Yeah, flying a sword is quick." Bai Lu said, "Master, is there any progress?"
"How can there be any progress in such a short time?" Huo Xuexiang's hand fell on Bai Lu's head and straightened Bai Lu's hairband which was slightly messy due to gliding on the sword.
"Your master is eager to help you refine it." Immortal Lord Boluan said with a smile.
Bai Lu moved closer to Huo Xuexiang after hearing this, "Wow, Master is so good to me."
Huo Xuexiang gradually relaxed and temporarily ignored Immortal Lord Boluan, "... my duty as a teacher."
Xu Zuichan was holding the Qingdi Jue. This object could not be too far away from Bailu because it was broken by Bailu and it seemed to have recognized its master.
Bai Lu said before that when he observed inside, he saw only a ball of light, which seemed like a source of power. Everyone discussed that it might be the real body of Qingdi Jue, and the Sichun magic formula also came from it.
"Bai Lu, try again to see if you can communicate with Qing Di Jue and take out a copy of Si Chun's spell from it. If you can, it proves that Qing Di Jue may still be able to recover. Things like the Bitter Sea Golden Lotus, Jing Tian Si Di Teng Teng, and even the thunderclouds may still be inside."
If he could use all these things for his own benefit, it would greatly increase his combat power...especially considering that Bai Lu was a non-traditional swordsman.
Bai Lu had tried several times before to probe her mental power in and wander around inside, but there was nothing else except a strong sense of vitality.
Everyone believed that divine objects like the Qingdi Jue were somewhat spiritual, allowing Bai Lu to communicate with it as if it were a living thing.
At this time, he tried again with a purpose in mind. He tried hard to find the spirituality of the Qingdi Jue, wanting to communicate with it, and find a place as bright as the sun, trying to extract the Sichun magic formula from it.
Unfortunately, it was still in vain.
After searching for a long time, Bai Lu stepped back and said, "No, it's all foggy and I can't get it at all. There's no response either."
"Is it because your realm is not high enough? If Bai Lu's realm is higher, she can refine and repair it." Xue Danxing looked at Bai Lu, whose Foundation Establishment Realm was particularly obvious among the crowd because of her shallow foundation. "Your master also didn't think of a way for you? Your spiritual power is so strong, and your state of mind sounds good too."
Bai Lu was unable to refine the Qing Di Jue, and they were even more anxious than Bai Lu and were eager to help Bai Lu refine it.
Unfortunately, the coincidence was that even if they were in the Qingdi Secret Realm, they might not be able to break through it, and it would be useless if they had enough cultivation, as they could not help others refine such a divine object. Although Bai Lu's cultivation was not enough, he borrowed the power of the heaven when Chao Tianzi merged at that moment.
"My master said that cultivation is a long-term process." Bai Lu said solemnly.
"It's good that you have this determination." Everyone said appreciatively.
Huo Xuexiang pondered and said, "But we should also try to control the vitality in the Qingdi Jue more and become familiar with its effects."
"Oh oh..." Bai Lu nodded thoughtfully.
…
A lonely star, a cold moon, and a blue sky.
Bai Lu had just returned from the alchemy room and was shouting in Shuchun Garden. Only after he shouted did he see Huo Xuexiang on the second floor, with his hand on the railing. He looked up and waved at Huo Xuexiang.
"Master! Look at this!!"
Huo Xuexiang lowered his head and found that Bai Lu was holding a... scepter?
The wooden staff is as long as a person, and the head is made of natural wood, which is like a vein of the earth or a coiled dragon. The vines are winding down, which further enhances the natural atmosphere. The top is inlaid with green crystals, which is as charming as the color of the wizard's eyes. The pendants made of copper bells, gemstones and feathers, which are special products of Xuanshan, add a bit of Chinese atmosphere to it.
"My staff!" Bai Lu held it up high and showed it proudly. "There is only one step left to complete it."
The last step is only to add more powerful power to the staff. In fact, it can be said to be completed now. The whole staff is already flowing with the breath of life.
Huo Xuexiang examined it carefully and could hardly tell whether the staff was formed naturally or was forged. Bai Lu's comprehension of the earth network was indeed of great benefit. He nodded and said, "It is a work of art beyond compare."
Chao Tianzi also came out after hearing the sound. As the spirit of the weapon, the young man with willow-leaf eyes felt his breathing almost stagnant and the world was spinning when he saw the staff which was obviously made of wood.
“What, what is this?”
Bai Lu also shook her head towards him and asked doubtfully, "Can't you recognize me?"
The decorations above are all the emperor’s private collection.
"I just can't believe my eyes. Weren't you making a new broom?" Chao Tianzi walked forward fascinatedly, feeling the harmonious aura of the long staff, his face almost touching it.
"I already have a broom, so why would I refine a new one just to change your skin?" Bai Lu had already planned to scare Chao Tianzi, and now she smiled slyly, "Of course, this can be used as a container--"
Of course! This is also a wood element instrument!
Moreover, it looks more imposing than a broom. Although a broom is powerful, people in the world of immortal cultivation always wonder why it is made in this shape. After all, a broom does not have the mass base like a whisk.
He threw himself towards the emperor and tried to get into the staff.
"Hey!" Bai Lu turned around and dodged, "Don't worry, I still have one last step to increase the power and make it even stronger."
He continued to pounce on Tianzi: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll merge it first, and then add it slowly later."
Bai Lu continued to dodge and said in embarrassment: "Oh, it really can't be done. I'll just take it out to make you happy."
Chao Tianzi was about to cry, "Are you trying to be happy or to tease me?"
In fact, he had already accepted the fact that he was the spirit of the broom, and he never expected to see such a gorgeous and powerful magical weapon.
"Both, both." Bai Lu snickered. "I'm serious. Actually, you still need to get familiar with this staff. It's still warm after just completing it, and I'm not familiar with how to help you fuse it. But soon, you can use it as a broom when you want and as a staff when you want, and switch between them at will."
"Also, I want to put this Qingdi Jue on my staff, to see if I can use it to increase my vitality..."
If Chao Tianzi was just excited when he heard the previous part, he almost fainted when he heard this part: "The Green Emperor Jue is just a decoration of mine?"
Chao Tianzi looked up at the sky. Wasn't this really the beautiful dream he had before he died?
Bai Lu saw that Chao Tianzi had completely forgotten himself, so she poked him and said, "Hello, hello?"
Chao Tianzi came back to his senses after a while, and reached out to touch the staff in Bai Lu's hand absent-mindedly. He saw the main stone that Bai Lu had chosen for inlay. The emerald green crystal was reflecting a green light under the moonlight, mysterious and dazzling.
Even Emperor Chaotian had to admit that the match was really great, without any blind flattery: "Master, this gem is just like your eyes, so beautiful."
"It's also because you collected well." Bai Lu also said. The two of them held their staffs and boasted to each other, feeling moved.
Huo Xuexiang still had his hands on the railing and smiled silently.
Bai Lu seemed to be able to sense it, and looked up. Under the moonlight, those eyes really shone with the emeralds. He mercilessly pulled the staff from Chao Tianzi's hand, jumped up to the second floor, grabbed the railing with one hand, turned over smoothly and lightly without any pause, and sat on the railing.
Chao Tianzi looked at the people below with resentment for a few times, and then he became happy again when he thought that it would be one of his own bodies sooner or later. He even began to dream that Bai Lu would refine a row of god-level wood magic tools and he could change bodies at will...
Bai Lu sat on the railing, the moonlight cast a silver veil on his hair. When he was backlit, only his eyes and emeralds were shining. He showed Huo Xuexiang his staff from a close distance.
Huo Xuexiang stroked the green gemstone, his slender fingers lingering gently on it, and said, "It really is the same color as your eyes."
Bai Lu felt inexplicably itchy, just like when she touched him, he couldn't help but lean forward again, thinking of something: "Master, what color are your eyes...?"
Huo Xuexiang was stunned. He never thought Bai Lu would ask this.
Bai Lu was a little nervous.
He had heard many rumors about his master's eyes. Some said that he was injured in a fight with evil spirits while doing a charity mission, and some said that it was caused by practicing martial arts, so he could not ascend.
However, because it did not affect Huo Xuexiang's observation with his spiritual sense and had no impact on his daily life, Bai Lu gradually forgot about it.
But now after hearing what his master said, Bai Lu felt an urge. He also wanted to see what his master's eyes looked like.
He had seen the look his master gave him when he borrowed Qiusuo's body, and it was just like the feeling he gave him on a daily basis, calm as water.
But it is different from the original body, so what would the eyes under the silk ribbon look like?
Bai Lu raised his hand unconsciously and touched the silk ribbon. He thought that he had not been really injured. He was a little worried that he might have touched upon his master's sad story, so he wanted to pull his hand back.
Huo Xuexiang gently pressed his forearm, then put it down and said, "Nothing."
Bai Lu's hand stopped on his face and touched the master's eyes through the silk ribbon. His hand was as light as the fluttering of butterfly wings, and he could also feel the slight trembling of his eyelashes.
Outsiders had many guesses, but Huo Xuexiang said to Bai Lu without reservation: "Do you know what Juntian means?"
Everyone called Huo Xuexiang Juntian Sword Master, but Bai Lu really didn't know what Juntian meant. He thought it was just two words that sounded very powerful. "What does that mean?"
"The sky is divided into twelve fields, corresponding to the twelve continents on earth. For example, the Zhongxiu Continent where we are corresponds to the Ziweiyuan, and there is also the Jianpo Continent that corresponds to the Juntianyuan. There is a sword prison in Jianpo Continent. In ancient times, all the famous swords in the world returned to this place after their masters died. Over time, a sword prison was formed, and the murderous aura was quite heavy, which had a great impact on the human world.
"Decades ago, the Sword Prison was shaken, and I was ordered to go there. I established the Sword Prison and illuminated the Juntian Wall. That's how people call me."
Bai Lu listened attentively, especially the last point, which gave him an inspiration.
It turns out there is such a naming formula. Yan Changming also said that he could be called Xuanshan Sword Master. Now it seems that if he follows his master's nickname, he can be called Ziwei Demon Master!
“The Sword Prison is moving due to the changes in the earth’s networks. I’m afraid of renewed trouble, so I’m determined not to seek to ascend. But the Frost Wheel Nine Body Art that I’ve practiced also corresponds to the Way of the Stars. In order to prevent my cultivation from continuing to grow, I’ll simply use it to seal the stargazing orifice and the path to growth in my cultivation.” Huo Xuexiang said lightly.
In just a few words, he omitted the thought that as a practitioner he should give up the path to ascension for the sake of all living beings in the world.
Otherwise, with Huo Xuexiang's achievements at such a young age, he would most likely become the youngest ascender in the world of immortal cultivation - not to mention anything else, he even needs to seal his eyes, otherwise even if he doesn't pay attention, his skills will naturally run and his cultivation level will increase rapidly.
Even though Bai Lu was not from this world, he knew the importance of ascending after being here for so long, not to mention that immortality has always been the pursuit of mankind. He did not want to ascend in order to go home, but his master did it for the sake of the human world.
"No wonder Master, you know the earth networks so well and use them to find the way in the secret realm..." Bai Lu murmured. In her mind, she couldn't help but imagine what kind of scenes Master had seen when he went to Dingjian Prison with a sword, and why he decided not to practice to ascend, and even said that he didn't know how to use a sword.
Not being able to wield a sword actually means that you can no longer ascend to higher realms through the dao of the sword.
Huo Xuexiang noticed his depression, raised his hand, and took him down from the railing with one hand, saying calmly: "I see the world better than the sky."
Bai Lu was instantly relieved, yes, this must be what Master was willing to do after weighing it in his heart, otherwise why would Master go around completing public welfare tasks after reaching a certain level? This was his way of teaching the world.
Bai Lu turned his head and looked into the distance. Just like what his master had shown him countless times, there was peace among the mountains.
Huo Xuexiang also looked over there with his divine sense.
But after a while, he heard Bai Lu sighing slightly, and muttering inaudibly: "It's a pity that I won't be able to see Master's eyes like this."
Huo Xuexiang's heart tightened, as if being pulled by a silk thread, and the throbbing spread throughout his body. For the first time, he felt regretful.
.
Ever since Bai Lu placed the Qingdi Jue on the magic wand, Chao Tianzi has become the most anxious person in Xuanshan, shouting a hundred times every day, "Can I merge with the magic wand?"
He just wanted to take his staff and go out to show off his power!
Unfortunately, his anxiety was useless. Bai Lu hadn't figured out how to use the staff yet, so he wouldn't let him use it easily. After all, Chao Tianzi's integration would mostly depend on Bai Lu's comprehension. He was afraid that his control over the staff was not so complete, and that it would harm the staff...
At this time, Bai Lu was in the open space in Shuchun Garden: "Qiusuo, you can move now."
Then Qiusuo flew up and down in the courtyard on his sword, sometimes flying and sometimes gliding, while Bai Lu held the staff to control the vitality in the Green Emperor's Jade...
It cannot be said to be an attack, because this thing had no offensive power when Bai Lu used it. However, it hit Qiusuo twice and sprouts grew in that place.
Just like they grow out of their bodies in the secret realm. The difference is that Qiusuo is a wood element, so there is no feeling when growing this.
This is practicing precision.
Ever since Huo Xuexiang asked Bai Lu to try to control his anger, he has been practicing it. Now he is practicing it in conjunction with a magic wand, using the magic wand to increase the amplitude and accuracy of the anger in the Green Emperor Jue.
Chao Tianzi was also itching to catch me, so he flew into the air with his broom and said, "Can you try and catch me?"
Bai Lu tapped her staff and said, "Bloom!"
——Unlike Qiusuo, although Chao Tianzi flew very fast, he was Bai Lu's spirit, and all his actions were in his mind. He easily captured the flight trajectory of the broom in the air, and a beam of energy bounced onto the broom.
This broom was originally made of sword plum wood. When it was stimulated by anger, a red plum blossom instantly bloomed on the broom branch, which was extremely eye-catching.
“It really bloomed, hahahahaha!”
Chao Tianzi laughed foolishly, then said after a pause, "But the word 'flowering' is not good, it's too unimpressive. Think of a formula."
That's right. Bai Lu thought, although he didn't attack anyone on purpose, based on his performance in the secret realm at that time, this could definitely be a means of attacking people!
For example, if he had grass seeds or tree seeds in his hands, and they were ejected with vitality, wouldn't they take root and sprout in the flesh and blood?
That needs a name.
But Bai Lu's problem was that he had no talent for naming. He finally came up with a name, but when he used it in Liuxian Gorge, Posa laughed at him in person, which left him with a psychological trauma.
"I understand. You can call—" Bai Lu looked at Huo Xuexiang who was right beside her, "Shihua, Fengchun!"
Huo Xuexiang: “…”
Huo Xuexiang laughed and said, "Just change one word?"
"Yes, I think it's very suitable." Bai Lu said with a snicker, "And the master is the Fengchun Sword, and this is the Fengchun Jue."
"You are talking about the flowers of the season and spring, which requires two moves." Huo Xuexiang said with a smile.
"Yes."
Bai Lu hooked her fingers at Huo Xuexiang and smiled happily.
Huo Xuexiang felt as if a feather was scratching his heart... In fact, Bai Lu had been like this before, but now Huo Xuexiang was more and more likely to pay attention to all changes, whether it was Bai Lu's or his own thoughts.
Until he saw Bai Lu jump onto the broom and fly.
Huo Xuexiang's mind moved, and his sword floated into the air.
He had not been out of Shuchun Garden these days. When he looked out at this moment, he was surprised to find that overnight, all the mountains had become colorful, making people feel as if they were in Huanhua Island.
It is clearly autumn, but flowers are blooming everywhere and the grass is lush, better than spring!
"Just now it was the seasonal flowers," Bai Lu said with a smile among the flowers and trees all over the mountains, "this is the beginning of spring."
Bai Lu's smile has always had many kinds, sometimes it is a secret smile with a little malice, sometimes it is sweet and flattering, and sometimes it is just like this, so brilliant that it seems to blend into the breath of spring.
He awakened all the plants and trees in Xuanshan, just like when he first lit up the red plum blossoms on Dianmei Peak, leaving his presence in this world and in everyone's heart very clearly.
Huo Xuexiang was distracted for a moment, and it seemed as if time had stopped passing. The only sound left was the sound of the flowers and leaves swaying in the wind and Bai Lu's smile. After a while, he said, "... Very good."
