Chapter 29 Instruments

"This source is enough for you to cultivate to the Life Spring realm. Remember to keep it well and don't show it to others. Even if a Divine Bridge monk sees this, he may not be unmoved."

Li Ying's face was serious and she reminded him several times over. It was obvious that this source was indeed very precious.

Chai Xin nodded and agreed seriously, then looked at Zhang Ziling: "I haven't prepared any gifts for you, choose two from here."

Zhang Ziling quickly smiled and waved his hands: "I was just joking! I made a preliminary sacrifice to refine the 'vessel' two days ago, and broke into the Life Spring realm in one go. It will take a long time to consolidate it carefully, so these spiritual medicines are of little use."

In less than a year, he reached the Life Spring realm. This speed is quite fast.

It would take an ordinary cultivator at least three to five years, or even more than ten years, to reach this level.

"You already have a prototype of your 'device'?"

Chai Xin was not surprised that Zhang Ziling had entered the Life Spring Realm, but it was very rare for him to be able to refine the "instrument" into a rudimentary form at this stage.

After all, since Zhang Ziling has such talent, he naturally doesn't want to waste it, and he also plans to cultivate a "weapon" in the fourth realm.

The difficulty of specializing in a certain "instrument" is much greater than cultivating one separately in each realm. According to the records in the beginning chapter of "Tao Te Ching", it is often necessary to reach the Divine Bridge or even the other shore realm before the initial sacrifice can be made.

"My 'weapon' is a sword. This has been decided long ago. Thinking about the future scene of sword energy crisscrossing three thousand miles, I can't help but get excited!"

Even though Zhang Ziling has such a simple personality, he couldn't help but be excited when talking about his "instrument".

"I have to thank Master for making it happen."

It turned out that the reason why Li Ying was not in the sect a few days ago was that he went to kill a powerful enemy for the sect in exchange for Zhang Ziling's place in the "Jinxia Cave".

The reason why Jinxia Dongtian is named so is because there is a Jinxia Cave on its main peak. In the cave there is a piece of meteorite from outer space, on which there is a golden flame that never goes out all year round.

It is because of this fire that the main peak appears to be emitting golden glow from a distance.

This fire has many wonderful uses. Not only can it be used to make elixirs and weapons, it can also help people forge divine patterns and refine their own "weapons".

However, the sect has its own rules. Even if Li Ying wants to enter Jinxia Cave, he must make corresponding contributions.

As Zhang Ziling spoke, he released his "device" from the sea of ​​wheels.

"Buzz!"

It was a three-inch long silver-white sword. It looked very rough and one could barely make out the hilt and the blade. It was obviously just a sword embryo.

"Brother, can you teach me something?"

Zhang Ziling stood up suddenly, the silver sword swam around him as nimbly as a fish, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

In the past, he was no match for Chai Xin at all, but now he is one level ahead of him, and his "weapon" is already complete, which makes him eager to make a move.

"As you wish."

How could Chai Xin not know what Zhang Ziling was thinking? He also wanted to try out how powerful the Mingquan Realm cultivator's control of weapons was, so he agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, I'm here with you."

Li Ying was also quite curious about the current strength of the two disciples. She smiled and stepped back dozens of steps to make room for the two.

With her protecting them, even if the two of them failed, their lives would not be in danger.

"Senior brother, I'm offended!"

Zhang Ziling let out a low shout and took several steps back. The small silver sword in front of him suddenly shot out, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Chai Xin.

He did not underestimate his enemy because of his great strength. He knew that Chai Xin's body was much stronger than his own, so he quickly distanced himself from him.

The reason why he was so cautious was that in every previous fight, he had never lasted more than ten moves at the hands of Chai Xin.

"So fast!"

Chai Xin was secretly shocked. Zhang Ziling's speed was already faster than his, but the speed of this "weapon" was even faster than its owner.

However, he did not dodge, as he was trying to test the power of the sword.

The purple air in his sea of ​​suffering rose up, and the dazzling rays of light instantly enveloped him, and he rushed forward with his right fist without hesitation. "Bang!"

The silver sword turned into a stream of light and collided with his right palm. He felt a sharp pain and his eyes narrowed slightly, only to see a deep red mark on the knuckle of his middle finger.

"It's just a rough piece, but it's so sharp!"

Not only that, at the moment of the collision just now, a surge of divine power poured into his body. If it were an ordinary Bitter Sea cultivator, he would have been defeated by this move.

"abnormal!"

Zhang Ziling's eyes were wider than his, and it took him a long time to utter two words.

Not only him, Li Ying who was watching the game not far away was also shocked.

A few days ago, she tried Zhang Ziling's silver sword and cut her palm due to carelessness. She never expected that Chai Xin didn't even have a scratch on his skin.

"No more fighting! You can't even break my defense, and I don't dare let you get close to me, how can I fight!"

Zhang Ziling simply waved his hand and took the silver sword back into the wheel sea.

Chai Xin shook his head and laughed: "You are faster than me now, and your divine power is not inferior to mine. If you keep your distance and continue to attack with your small sword, you may not lose in the end."

"I am a Life Spring monk after all, and I have my own 'weapon'. When I compete with you, a Bitter Sea monk who has nothing, I have to rely on kite flying to have a chance of winning. This is already a complete defeat!"

Zhang Ziling rolled his eyes. His analysis was quite clear.

"What's more, you haven't even used the divine runes yet."

"I give you these two bottles of medicine to soothe your wounded heart."

Chai Xin smiled and took out two bottles of Ziyun Dan from the wooden box and threw them over.

Zhang Ziling's lips moved slightly, but in the end he said nothing and silently put away the porcelain bottle.

"Xin'er, you can go to Jinxia Cave to practice at any time with this jade token, but after entering, you can only stay there for a maximum of seven days."

Li Ying gradually regained her composure. She walked forward and handed Chai Xin a jade token, then turned and left.

"Thank you Master!"

Chai Xin held the jade token and bowed deeply to the old man's back.

That night, Chai Xin sat cross-legged on the couch, thinking carefully about what kind of "vessel" to cast.

According to the experience handed down from ancient times, the hope of interweaving the trajectory of "Tao" inside complex "instruments" such as "trip", "bell" and "tower" is slightly greater than that of conventional weapons such as "knife", "gun" and "sword".

Of course, the more complex the "tool" is, the more difficult it is to shape. Even if you spend endless energy and time, you may not be able to forge a prototype. The risks are self-evident.

However, nothing is absolute. Whether the "tool" is powerful or not ultimately depends on its owner.

In the original novel, there are many other imperial weapons besides the "cauldron", "bell" and "tower", such as the Void Mirror, the Heaven Devouring Demon Pot, the Human Emperor Seal, the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Demon Emperor Ruler...

These supreme imperial weapons are not complicated in terms of shape, but in terms of power, they are enough to sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths.

In the final analysis, only when people are invincible can there be invincible weapons.

If you only pursue complex shapes, you will end up falling behind.

While thinking, Chai Xin's consciousness gradually sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he saw the mysterious ancient jade that had been silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I am so confused!"
