After practicing all night, Lu Yu sweated a lot, so he simply took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Seeing that it was already bright, remembering that Senior Brother Sun was going to explain the exercises today, he quickly woke up Jin Xinxin who was still snoring like thunder.
Jin Xinxin was a little dissatisfied with getting up so early, and muttered, "Immortal is really the hardest job in the world. Not only do you have no food, but you don't even have to sleep."
Lu Yu had nothing to do with this man, he could only drag Jin Xinxin to the door of Senior Brother Sun's residence. Lu Yu knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"Senior Brother Sun, Lu Yu came to see you." Lu Yu said.
"Jin Xinxin came to see me." Jin Xinxin also said reluctantly.
After a long time, old man Sun's lazy voice came: "Oh, it's my junior brother. Come in."
Lu Yu and Jin Xinxin pushed the door open and entered. I saw old man Sun sitting cross-legged on a futon, and said with a smile: "The two junior brothers came really early, unlike me, a bad old man who dozes off all day long."
"I should have said it early." Jin Xinxin looked at Lu Yu complainingly, and muttered in a low voice.
Lu Yu ignored Jin Xinxin's resentful eyes, but glanced around the room, and asked with some surprise: "Could it be that senior brother sleeps on this futon?"
Old man Sun smiled, stood up, and said: "Only you new disciples, who have only a short time to escape from the mortal world, need to sleep. We cultivators have to practice all the time, how can we waste those hours on Sleep on it."
"Then aren't you sleepy?" Jin Xinxin asked the question in his heart.
"Of course not. We meditate and practice is called concentration. In fact, it is also restoring energy and spirit." Senior Brother Sun explained. Lu Yu on the side suddenly realized, no wonder he practiced all night yesterday and didn't feel very sleepy today.
Old man Sun grabbed the bookcase, and immediately two small jade slips flew from the bookcase into his hands. Old man Sun put the two jade slips flat in his hands, and said to the two of them: "These two jade slips record some basic common sense for us cultivators. Hold it in your hands, close your eyes and concentrate and you will be able to read There's something inside."
Although Lu Yu and Jin Xinxin were curious that words could be written on the jade slips, neither of them asked. The two each took a jade slip and held it in their hands. As soon as Lu Yu closed his eyes, he felt that not only paragraphs of text appeared in front of him, but also vivid pictures emerged, telling the common sense of cultivators with both pictures and words.
When Lu Yu opened his eyes, he found that Jin Xinxin and old man Sun were staring at him with strange expressions.
"Can you see it?" Jin Xinxin and Old Man Sun asked in unison.
"Can't you see it?" Lu Yu looked at Jin Xinxin strangely and asked.
"Yeah, I can't see it at all. I've tried several times." Jin Xinxin said helplessly.
"What's going on here? Why can I see it, but he can't." Lu Yu looked at Old Man Sun again, hoping to learn the reason from him.
"Uh... the Jade Slip is very simple for those who have already cultivated immortals. But it is very difficult for you new disciples who have not yet cultivated..." Old man Sun was interrupted by Jin Xinxin before he could finish speaking.
"Old man Sun, why don't you ask us to watch it." Jin Xinxin was angry, feeling like he was being teased.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... I just want you to understand." Old man Sun said with some embarrassment. He has been teaching martial arts for decades, and this trick has been tried and tested for the new disciple Ma Wei. Unexpectedly, the old horse stumbled today.
Seeing that Jin Xinxin was still talking, Lu Yu didn't want to offend people when he first entered Yujianzong, so he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Sun, why can I see the things in the Jade Slips?"
"This... logically speaking, the jade slips themselves are made to isolate mortals from detection. Immortal cultivators must at least reach the first level of swordsman's spiritual consciousness to detect. Unless you have the spiritual power comparable to the first level of swordsman's spiritual consciousness. "Old man Sun told the two of the results of his analysis.
"Spiritual power?" Lu Yu thoughtfully said, "I have been able to keep my memory in mind since I was a child. Is this spiritual power?"
"That's right." Old man Sun slapped his forehead and said to himself: "I'll just say, how could a mortal see something in the jade slip for no reason."
"What was written in that jade slip?" Jin Xinxin asked Lu Yu.
"The Jade Slip roughly states that we practitioners can only absorb the aura of heaven and earth for cultivation only if we have the root of the sword spirit. The first level of cultivation is the swordsman, and the swordsman is divided into ten small levels. The first level of the swordsman will initially have the ability to absorb the vitality of the heavens and the earth. The ability to turn it into mana. Then increase layer by layer, and the mana possessed by each additional layer will be thicker, and the spells that can be used will be more powerful. After reaching the swordsman's tenth level of great perfection, he will hit the sword spirit realm. "Lu Yu recalled what he saw just now, and briefly said the key points.
"Spell? Is flying with a sword a spell?" Jin Xinxin asked.
Old man Sun rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Sword Control is the most basic spell, it's nothing. Look at me, it's called magic."
After finishing speaking, old man Sun took out a long sword from the storage bag, threw the sword into the air, murmured something, and then shouted loudly: "Fire sword art!" I saw a raging fire on the long sword, which was still visible to the naked eye. The speed slowly expands. Suddenly, the temperature in the whole room was extremely hot. "
"Score!" Old man Sun shouted again. I saw that the fire sword just now turned into a miniature fire sword, and then divided into two, two into four, four into eight, until it was unclear how many fire swords were dancing in the air.
"Take it." Old man Sun pointed at the sword with his finger, and immediately the fire sword turned into an ordinary long sword and flew back into his hand. Old man Sun glanced at the two people who were already stunned with a proud face. This fire sword technique is his trump card, and he has only studied it all his life. Even a sword spirit that is a level higher than him may not be as good as him.
"Awesome." Lu Yu praised.
"Old man Sun, you must be a sword spirit already." Jin Xinxin worshiped.
"Cough-cough." Old man Sun blushed and replied in a low voice, "I haven't reached the sword spirit level yet, only the elders in the whole sect are at the sword spirit level."
"Is this sword spirit realm so difficult to reach?" Lu Yu asked in surprise.
"Ah! It's not just difficult." Old man Sun said sadly, "I've been practicing for sixty years, and now I'm only at the eighth level of swordsman. It seems hopeless in this life."
"Uh, when I read the sect rules, it said that our sect also has dozens of senior sword spirits." Lu Yu asked.
"Once you reach Sword Spirit, you can increase your lifespan by 300 years. There are more than 10,000 outer disciples and more than 100 inner disciples in the sect. Every 30 years, more than 100 people will be selected from all over the world. Do you think it is easy to become a sword spirit?" Old man Sun asked back.
"Forget it, the realm of sword spirit is not something we can consider now." Lu Yu said with a sigh.
"By the way, take out yesterday's "Qing Ling Jue", and I will explain the specific content to you." Only then did Old Man Sun remember his responsibilities.
After half a day, the two left Old Man Sun's room. Old man Sun really tried his best to explain, and explained almost every word of the whole book in detail. Lu Yu benefited a lot from listening, there is really a big difference between someone teaching and no one teaching. It took a whole night to absorb a little spiritual energy yesterday. It only took two hours today to absorb a trace of spiritual energy. However, due to qualification reasons, it is still very poor. Jin Xinxin has one more yellow-level spiritual root than him, and it only took an hour to absorb the spiritual energy. Old man Sun learned about Lu Yu's spiritual root situation, and told Lu Yu mercilessly that if his spiritual root aptitude was not helped by pills, he would probably be able to reach the top of the swordsman's third level.
However, before leaving, old man Sun pulled Lu Yu aside again, and pointed out with a smile: "You have such poor aptitude, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. But your mental strength is very good, you may be able to be a craftsman."
"A craftsman?." Lu Yu heard this word for the first time.
"A weapon refiner is to condense some materials into a weapon or armor. It can also pour some strange spirit stones into it to increase the power of the weapon or armor. The most powerful refiner can also combine weapons and armor The power is doubled through a spirit stone called "strengthening"." Old man Sun explained very patiently.
"Oh? There is such a thing." Lu Yu was a little tempted. If he was really talented in this area, then maybe he could exchange some pills through refining tools to make up for his lack of qualifications.
"Your old man has said so much, just say what you have to say." Lu Yu said with a half-smile.
Old man Sun took out a book with a blue cover from his storage bag, and said to Lu Yu with the expression of a profiteer: "Little brother, brother, seeing that you are born with super mental power, I suddenly feel that you should not bury your genius. This book is Senior brother bought it in the early years and has been keeping it close to him, seeing that you are destined to be with me, I will sell you this book for a spirit stone."
Lu Yu didn't speak, and took the book from old man Sun, which had the words "Refining Artifacts" written on it. I flipped through it casually, and it was written all about the techniques of refining equipment and some basic materials for refining equipment. Lu Yu knew that this book must be tricky, but he really needed this book. He took out the only low-grade spirit stone from the storage bag and handed it to Old Man Sun.
Old man Sun took the spirit stone, and said a few more polite words to wish Lu Yu to become a master craftsman as soon as possible. Lu Yu and Jin Xinxin left Old Man Sun's bamboo house. Seeing that the two of them had left, old man Sun also returned to the house, took out more than a dozen copies of "Art of Refining Artifacts" from the storage bag and threw them on the table. He said to himself proudly: "Sold another book, this spirit stone came really fast. I only spent one spirit stone for these thirty or so books in Fangshi, but I didn't expect that I would earn ten dollars." There are so many spirit stones. These newcomers don't even think about it, if it is so easy to be a craftsman, how can the price of this weapon and armor be so expensive.
