World of Cultivation - Chapter 48

[Chapter 48 The Black Heart Book Room]

“This sect is a sect of swordsmanship, and the strongest sword art is the “No Space Sword Art” created by the ancestor back then, but this sect is gradually declining. This sword art, which was rated as the sixth grade, has no one in this sect. I learned it. Later, it was split into “Invisible Sword Art” and “Empty Sword Art” for some reason. What Junior Brother Luo Li learned was “Empty Sword Art”. It’s just that the two separated sword art can only reach the third grade. In addition, we must count Master’s “Ice Chi Sword Art”. This sword art is originally a fourth-grade sword art, but it shines in the hands of the master and ranks among the fifth-grade. This sword art has cut down countless demons in the hunt for demons, and got the title of Ice Chi Sword.”

Speaking of master Xin Yan, Xu Yi’s expression couldn’t help but be somewhat leisurely and fascinated.

A fourth-grade sword art can develop into fifth-grade, which is enough to show that Xin Yan’s attainment in “Bingchi Sword Art” has not only reached a profound and unparalleled level, but also further perfected this sword art. Those who can do this are not ordinary people.

“In addition, the ancestors of this sect are also talented, and the “Cloud Sword Art”, “Red Flame Sword Art”, and “Qingliu Sword Art” are also among the fourth-rank sword art. Fu has no reputation, but looking at Dongfu, there are only us who can have the sixth-grade sword art, except for the lineage of Dongfu Temple. Even the fourth-grade sword art is not owned by all sects in Dongfu.”

Zuo Mo’s eyes widened. He had never thought that this sect was so powerful.

Xu Yi noticed Zuo Mo’s eyes and said with a smile: “Junior brother, don’t think too well. Sword tactics above the fourth rank will never be easily passed on to the disciples of the sect. At that time, junior brother Luo Li was unmatched among the second-generation disciples in the sect, but just like that, he was only passed on the third-rank sword art of “Empty Sword Art”.”

Seeing the disappointment in Zuo Mo’s eyes, he comforted him: “Junior brother, don’t be too disappointed. Among these three swordsmanships, there are many excellent ones. Like the “Empty Swordsmanship” learned by junior brother Luo Li, there is also the same one. The “Invisible Sword Art” from “The Wukong Sword Art” is also the best among the third-grade sword art. Junior and brother should pay attention, these are also three-grade sword art, and there are differences.”

Zuo Mo immediately pricked up his ears, since it was too difficult to pursue the good ones right now, he couldn’t pick the worst ones. He is very realistic, the goods are one point short, and this spar is more than one point short.

“Generally speaking, the Five Elements Sword Art is the worst. The younger brother is Ling Zhifu, and he must have a deeper understanding of the Five Elements than I do. The Five Elements change a thousand times, but they are not pure. In this way of swordsmanship, the word “pure” is essential. But these five elements are mutually reinforcing, but it is difficult to be as pure as one. I have never heard of the Five Elements swordsmanship that exceeds the third rank. Junior and brother must never choose this type of swordsmanship. Other swordsmanship has its own magic. , is good at fighting, some are strange and unpredictable, some are ambush unparalleled, some are warm and nurturing, and some increase their cultivation.”

“Nursing the mind? Isn’t the sword art the main killing? How can you warm the mind?” Zuo Mo couldn’t help asking.

“Hehe, our cultivation is long and difficult. If we don’t have a firm and persevering heart, how can we achieve the Dao? Use the sword to nurture the heart and strengthen the original heart. There are not a few people who practice this kind of sword art. Like me, learn The “Heavenly Heart Sword Art” is this kind of sword art, it is not powerful, but it is quite good for nourishing the mind.” Xu Yi explained with a smile.

“The classics room in the door is at Wangjiang Peak. You are now an inner disciple, and you can go in and check it out. But every time you go in, you need to contribute points. If your junior brother has spare time, remember to earn some more sect contribution points, which will naturally be used in the future. Get it.” Xu Yi urged.

Saying goodbye to Senior Brother Xu Yi, Zuo Mo went straight to Wangjiang Peak. There is a river under Wangjiang Peak. The mountain is steep. The classics room is built on the cliff. It is not big, just a small courtyard. There are some thin bamboos outside the wall. Disappointed. He had never set foot here before, and it was only open to inner disciples.

The gatekeeper was an old man. At first, Zuo Mo fancied that the other party was a hidden master, but soon, he was greatly disappointed. This old man who guards the gate only has the cultivation base of the ninth level of Qi refining. But Zuo Moke didn’t dare to be rude because of this. Don’t look at this old man’s poor cultivation, but guarding the classics room and making trouble for himself is also a very simple matter.

Respectfully handed over his waist badge, the old man glanced at it, then lowered his eyes and said, “The first floor will deduct two points for an hour, and the second floor will deduct four points for an hour. The first floor jade slip can be copied, the second floor Transcription is prohibited. Go in.” He threw his waist card to Zuo Mo.

so dark!

Zuo Mo cursed inwardly. The contribution points of the inner sect disciples and the outer sect disciples’ contribution points are not the same and cannot be converted to each other. Zuo Mo has a total of ten sect contributions, five of which are the rewards given to him by the head of the sect for winning the jade medal, and the other five are the last time he asked Uncle Yan Le to help him sell on behalf of him.

Contributing points at ten o’clock will allow him to stay on the first floor for five hours and on the second floor for two and a half hours.

If you transcribe jade slips, it will take an hour or two casually. And if you can’t transcribe it, you can only rely on rote memorization, which can’t be done in one or two hours.

He now understands why Senior Brother Xu Yi reminded him to earn more contribution points. The big head is here! Suddenly a little fortunate, the master’s alchemy book room does not need to contribute points, otherwise he will cry. Zuo Mo reckoned that Senior Uncle Xin Yan must also have a private refining book room, otherwise, Senior Brother Xu Yi would be miserable.

Time was running out, Zuo Modo couldn’t think about it, he rushed into the first floor.

I saw rows of jade slips, neatly arranged. Zuo Mo couldn’t help curling his lips. In his opinion, this place was much worse than the master’s classics room. There was a thin layer of ash on the wooden board, and it seemed that no one patronized it at ordinary times. Although it is a little neglected, the jade slips are still placed so that people can see at a glance.

There are all kinds of jade slips, including sword tricks, five elements, heart methods, and refining tools. These are all jade slips collected by the predecessors of Wukong Jianmen in the past. These jade slips are not of high grade and have no practical value. It is a pity to throw them away. These kinds of jade slips are often only useful to those who have just become inner disciples, and their value will become less and less as they spend more time with their masters.

Wukong Jianmen has not had any new inner disciples for a long time. After Li Yingfeng became an inner disciple, he followed Uncle Yan Le every day to help manage various industries. And after Senior Brother Wei Sheng became an inner disciple, he was taught meticulously by Senior Uncle Xin Yan, and later entered Jiandong directly, so naturally he did not need to come here.

That’s why Zuo Mo came in and saw the dusty scene in front of him.

Although there were no advanced techniques, the dazzling array of jade slips still made Zuo Mo dazzled and drooled. Don’t see that these jade slips are not taken seriously, but if they are thrown into the market, each one can sell for a good price. For disciples in the Qi refining stage, every jade slip is precious.

Zuo Mo went straight to the Sword Art category, which is also the category with the most jade slips on the first floor. Wukong Jianmen is a sect of sword cultivation, and it naturally spares no effort in the collection of swords and jade slips. There are a large number of second-grade and third-grade sword tactics on the first floor, and these are naturally not high-quality goods. After taking a look around, he quickly put it down. Sure enough, there is nothing too good. It’s good as a reference, but the major is really not good.

Seeing the stairs leading to the second floor, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to go up and have a look.

The space on the second floor is smaller, and the number of jade slips is also much smaller, but the scene is very similar to the master’s book room, the jade slips are all floating in mid-air, and each jade slip is surrounded by a halo of different colors.

Zuo Mo, who had the previous experience, naturally knew what to do.

He flipped through the jade slips related to swordsmanship one by one. Up to this point, he hadn’t decided what kind of sword art to cultivate. In the past, he might have chosen swordsmanship like the “Heavenly Heart Sword Art” practiced by Senior Brother Xu Yi, to sharpen his mind, which is very important for any cultivator. However, it seems more realistic for him, who needs to pursue power, to look for those powerful swordsmanships.

Zuo Mo, who didn’t have a firm ethos, read them one by one.

He had never seen so many jade slips once. The jade slips on the second floor, each one placed in the past, was his dream treasure. He couldn’t help but give birth to an illusion like being in a dream.

Sure enough, there are none of the sword tactics mentioned by Senior Brother Xu Yi. The second floor is also a third-grade sword art, but it is obviously much more advanced than the jade briefs downstairs, and they should all belong to the third-grade high-quality goods.

For example, there is a set of “Wind and Thunder Sword Art”. After it is perfected, it will be like the wind, its momentum is like thunder, and its power is amazing. It is said that it was originally a fifth-grade sword art, but with the continuous loss of thousands of years, its power has dropped sharply, and it has dropped to third-grade.

The other set of “Autumn Rain Sword Art” is even more novel, requiring a set of 108 swords, which is extremely difficult to resist. However, like “Wind and Thunder Sword Art”, it also has a lot of missing content, especially the method of refining swords is lost, the power of each sub-sword is drastically reduced, and it becomes much embarrassing. However, its manipulation changes are very subtle, so it was placed on the second floor.

Each kind of sword art has its own unique features, but equally, each kind of sword art has its fatal flaws.

Seeing that the number of jade slips that hadn’t been flipped through was getting smaller and smaller, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

Could it be that he couldn’t pick a sword technique that he liked?

He didn’t pay attention to the passage of time, the number of jade slips decreased one by one, and his heart dropped to the bottom a little bit.

Until, he faced the last jade slip.

“Lishui Sword Art”, Lishui, these two words obviously related to the Five Elements, made Zuo Mo’s heart cool.

Brother Xu Yi’s words were especially in his ears, the five-element sword art was weak, and the brother kept telling him.

Zuo Mo, who has a rough understanding of the five elements, is also very clear that what the brother said makes sense. The five elements are varied, but it is difficult to be pure. Once the sword intent is impure, its power will drop sharply.

Zuo Mo, who was in despair, subconsciously flipped through the “Lishui Sword Art”.

“Huh!” He suddenly found something, and he couldn’t help feeling refreshed. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and he found himself in the courtyard.

“The time is up, your contribution points are used up.” The old man didn’t lift his eyelids, and immediately issued an expulsion order.

Zuo Mo wanted to cry without tears.
