When Jin Xinxin was on the road, he heard from other disciples that there was a Fangshi on the mountain to the west of the sect, so he bid farewell to Lu Yu, saying that he would go to Fangshi to make a fortune. Lu Yu was speechless and could only go back to the No. 17 Bamboo House alone.
As soon as Lu Yu opened the door, he saw Liu Yiyi sitting cross-legged on his bed.
"Brother, you're back." Liu Yiyi heard the sound of the door being pushed, and opened her eyes to see that it was Lu Yu who had returned. He quickly jumped out of bed and wrapped himself around Lu Yu like an octopus.
"Yiyi, why are you here?" Lu Yu said happily looking at Liu Yiyi.
"They've been waiting for you all morning." Liu Yiyi said coquettishly.
"I'm going to learn the kung fu from Senior Brother Chuan Gong." Lu Yu explained.
"I know, so I've been waiting for you." Liu Yiyi said with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Liu Yiyi's good words, Lu Yu was about to cry again. Quickly asked: "Yiyi, what happened?"
"Yiyi has been accepted as a direct disciple by the master." Liu Yiyi said with tears.
Lu Yu was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this a great thing?"
"Master said that I want to practice in closed doors and not meet outsiders." Liu Yiyi cried.
"Retreat? Why are you going to retreat just now?" Lu Yu said puzzled.
"I tried to practice the exercises last night, and I accidentally reached the second floor of swordsmen. Master said, I want to retreat to stabilize the realm." Liu Yiyi stuck out her tongue and said.
When Lu Yu heard this, he felt so much pain in his heart. I worked hard all night to get a trace of spiritual energy, but I didn't expect Liu Yiyi to reach the second floor of the swordsman in one night.
Seeing that Lu Yu suddenly stopped talking, Liu Yiyi vaguely guessed what was going on. Elder Chen once told her that her brother and him are already two people from different worlds. My brother practiced hard for a few months, which is probably equivalent to a few hours of his own. She didn't want to be in two worlds with her brother, so she sneaked out this time to "help" her brother. Thinking of this, she took out three white vials from her storage bag, and more than 300 low-grade spirit stones, and placed them on the bed.
Lu Yu was stunned when he saw so many spirit stones.
"These are prepared by Yiyi for brother." Liu Yiyi said with a naughty smile.
"Why do you have so many spirit stones?" Lu Yu asked.
"Master said that absorbing the aura of spirit stones is several times faster than absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. So the master gave me a lot of spirit stones, and I just gave a small part to my brother." Liu Yiyi said indifferently, and then pointed Pointing to the three small white bottles, he said: "These three bottles contain Guiyuan Pills, which can help swordsmen improve their cultivation."
"I can't take these things," Lu Yu said shaking his head.
"Why?" Liu Yiyi asked.
"If you give me these things, it will definitely affect your cultivation." Lu Yu still shook his head.
"No. I still have a lot of these things." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.
"Don't lie to me, maybe these spirit stones may not be too important to you. But these pills are also very precious to you." Lu Yudang knew that if he didn't have the help of pills, he could only reach the sword level. When I was in Sanchong, I asked old man Liu about the price of the elixir. Old man Liu said that a bottle of Guiyuan Pill would sell for 1,000 yuan of low-grade spirit stones in Fangshi. So when Liu Yiyi took out three bottles of Guiyuan pills, he knew that these must be all of Liu Yiyi's current pills.
"But... if my brother doesn't use the elixir, we will become people from two worlds." Liu Yiyi said while crying.
Lu Yu naturally understood the meaning of Liu Yiyi's words, his heart softened, and he comforted him: "How could it be? My brother will work hard and try to catch up with you."
Liu Yiyi still shook her head, insisting that Lu Yu accept the elixir. And the more she cried, the louder she seemed to attract everyone in the bamboo house. Liu Yiyi knew that her brother was most afraid of crying, so this trick was tried and tested. Sure enough, Lu Yu had no choice but to bargain with Liu Yiyi, and finally the two reached a consensus: Lu Yu only took one bottle of elixir and one hundred spirit stones. With a limit of one year, if Lu Yu and Liu Yiyi's realm is still far behind, Lu Yu must accept all the pills and spirit stones Liu Yiyi gives in the future.
After Liu Yiyi got the result she was satisfied with, she happily left Lu Yu's bamboo house. And Lu Yu sat on the bed, thinking carefully about how to go in the future. First of all, you must break through your cultivation base to the first level of the swordsman, and then buy some refining materials to see if you have such a talent.
After Lu Yu made up his plan, he immediately started to practice. A day and a night passed, and Lu Yu still hadn't broken through to the first level of swordsman.
At noon on the third day, Jin Xinxin came back humming a little tune. Lu Yu saw that his face was full of joy, so he couldn't help but joked: "Master Jin is back, did you ever make a fortune?"
"Of course." Jin Xinxin raised the three low-grade spirit stones in his hand, and said proudly: "Did you see, these are all earned by this young master in the past few days."
"How did you earn it?" Lu Yu was a little curious.
"It's all given by ascetics like you." Jin Xinxin said sarcastically.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked suspiciously.
"People who practice painstakingly don't want to waste a little time in cultivation. Of course, I, an idler, will do the job of running errands and bargaining in the market." Jin Xinxin explained.
"Oh? Running errands to buy something?" Lu Yu thoughtfully.
"What? Young Master Lu also has jobs for the younger ones." Jin Xinxin joked.
"Really, I need you to buy me a hundred catties of refined iron." Lu Yu thought about it. He could already memorize that "Art of Refining Artifacts" fluently, so he decided to make a few low-level fine steel swords to try.
"Brother, you don't really believe that old man went to forge weapons, do you?" Jin Xinxin said.
"Yes, I intend to refine the weapon." Lu Yu replied seriously.
"I've heard that crafting is much more difficult than cultivation. It's not enough to rely on talent, it also depends on luck. Even a master will often miss it." Jin Xinxin tried to persuade him.
"I figured it out. Let me tell you how much the refined iron costs." Lu Yu said firmly.
Seeing that Lu Yu couldn't be persuaded, Jin Xinxin had no choice but to say: "The market price of a hundred catties of refined iron is fifty low-grade spirit stones. You can give me fifty, and the price I can cut will be my errand fee."
Lu Yu took out fifty low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to Jin Xinxin. Jin Xinxin took the spirit stones and sighed to Lu Yu, "Oh, I'm just working hard. Brother, you practice hard, I'll give it to you Buy refined iron."
Seeing that Jin Xinxin had left, Lu Yu did not practice in a hurry. Instead, he took out a small white bottle from his bosom, and poured out seven black pills from it. Lu Yu pinched one with two fingers and put it under his nose to smell it, and a fresh fragrance immediately refreshed his heart.
"Do I really need to use Guiyuan Pill if I break through the first floor?" Lu Yu said to himself.
Lu Yu looked at the elixir for a long time, and threw it into his mouth cruelly. Suddenly, a cool breath swam from the dantian to all the meridians in the whole body. Lu Yu immediately meditated to refine the medicinal power of Guiyuan Dan.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and Lu Yu sat quietly like this for three days. Until the early morning of the fourth day, a sound of "boom---" suddenly came out in Lu Yu's mind, and Lu Yu suddenly felt an extra breath in his dantian. Very familiar yet very strange, like aura but not like it. Lu Yu suddenly remembered what was written in the book, once he breaks through the first level and becomes a swordsman, there will be vitality in the dantian, and mana will flow in the meridians.
Lu Yu quickly opened his eyes, took out the "Qing Ling Jue" from the storage bag, and searched all the spells that a swordsman could practice in it. I found that there are still a few spells that can be practiced. For example, fetching objects from a distance, Lu Yu tried a few times, and he was able to slowly pick up the pillow at the head of the bed. Lu Yu then tried the fireball technique and the water wave technique, but he would be able to do it after a few times of practice.
Lu Yu was ecstatic in his heart. According to Old Man Sun, learning spells is also a very difficult process. But I just practiced it a few times. Is this the benefit of high mental strength? No, old man Sun said that once you become a swordsman, you can't call it spiritual power, it has to be called divine consciousness. It's a pity that without the sword spirit, the consciousness cannot be released. Otherwise, you can see whether your spiritual consciousness is strong or weak.
Lu Yu went to bed and meditated for several hours, completely stabilizing his state. Then, suddenly remembered something. He dug out a small package from his storage bag, and unpacked it was the blacksmithing experience his father gave him. Lu Yu thought to himself: "In fact, there are many similarities between blacksmithing and smelting, so there must be some references." Lu Yu opened the book and carefully read the contents of the book.
After reading for several hours, Lu Yu finally closed the page. My heart was full of shock, it seemed that my father had studied blacksmithing quite thoroughly. He has also deduced some of the superficial aspects of the refining device by relying on blacksmithing, and many of the experiences in it have benefited him a lot.
Lu Yu pondered quietly for another half an hour, digesting the contents of his father's book one by one. Then he began to meditate and practice again, waiting for Jin Xinxin to come back and start refining the weapon.
