Chapter 209
"Moire Orichalcum is an expensive immortal material known for its hardness. It is usually used to refine magic weapons such as protective copper bells for immortal monks in the foundation building stage or the golden elixir stage."
And Qiao Shui can break the cloud-patterned orichalcum Taoist soldier, which means that this old martial artist of the Qiao family can break the immortal monk's protective magic weapon with one blow?
Luo Han's eyes twitched and he wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
Qiao Canxue described him as a moire orichalcum in human skin, which really humiliated him who had a high self-esteem.
But this is just the beginning.
"This is the first time I've heard of a Taoist weapon forged from a living person, but I guess it won't be easy."
Qiao Canxue eloquently said:
"This soldier is very tough and not afraid of the threat of death. He probably thinks that even if his body is destroyed, as long as the immortal monk behind him comes, he can get another bronze body."
"So difficult? Can you still survive if it's broken?" Hai Siyuan frowned.
He found the soldiers and generals in the desert extremely difficult to deal with. Who knew there were such bronze-bodied Taoist soldiers with copper skin and iron bones?
"How can it be so simple?" Qiao Canxue shook her head.
"The eternal goal of immortality is immortality, which is elusive and elusive."
Qiao Mu: Oh.
Qiao Canxue continued: "Even the great monks of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect cannot bring people back to life, they can only control the souls of the dead."
"If a body dies, it can be constantly replaced with new bronze bodies. This is equivalent to a different kind of immortality. If immortality can be obtained so easily, then there will be such Taoist soldiers everywhere in the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect. "
She lowered her head, stared at the bronze-bodied Arhat with her white eyes, and said slowly:
"It is not the right way to abandon the body of a warrior to become a Taoist soldier. A person who loses his body is like a rootless duckweed. How can he easily attach himself to the cloud-patterned orichalcum man?"
"The soul of a third-grade god-refining martial artist is naturally very comparable to that of a human being. Although it can be restrained on a bronze body using immortal magic, it cannot last forever."
"Not only will you not be able to live forever, but from the moment you abandon your body, your life will be like a candle in the wind, and your time will be numbered."
The bronze-bodied Arhat's eyes widened slightly, and he almost stopped breathing.
He didn't take Qiao Mu's threat to heart at all, because even if he was defeated, he thought he was above ordinary warriors and that there were immortal ways to revive him.
But this Qiao Canxue was obviously an immortal monk that he needed to look up to, and the vague uneasiness in his heart was revealed with one word.
Arhat opened his mouth to retort, but the uneasiness in his heart almost swallowed him up and he was unable to speak at all.
After transforming into a bronze-bodied Arhat, he more or less noticed something strange about this body, and he knew something about it.
Chapter 232 The truth about entering Taoism through martial arts (4k
Verbal threats could not sway the third-grade martial artist of the God Refiner, but as an immortal monk who a bronze-bodied Arhat needed to look up to, Qiao Canxue could sway his mind with just a few words.
She obviously knew more, and with her identity as an immortal monk, after revealing the truth about Arhat's bronze body and his near-death, Arhat directly broke through his defenses.
But at this moment, Qiao Canxue pinched a spell in her hand and drank it lightly, but it was like a winter thunder suddenly appearing, shocking the dying Arhat's mind, and the expression on his face became confused.
"Qiao... If Mr. Qiao has anything to ask this person, you can ask more now." Qiao Canxue said softly:
"I used the soul-deterring technique on him when he lost his guard. Now his soul is frightened and he is confused and answers all questions."
Qiao Canxue interrupted, obviously wanting to help.
It's just that Qiao Mu didn't ask the Arhat immediately for inside information. Instead, his eyes fell on Qiao Canxue, which was quite complicated.
If you include the memories spent in the dream world, the two have not seen each other for more than a hundred years, and Qiao Canxue actually embarked on the immortal path and became an immortal monk.
Immortal magic is so convenient... Qiao Mu is a little envious.
When the demon disintegrates and explodes, he can kill the bronze-bodied Arhat with one blow, but without targeted intelligence, it will be difficult to open the Arhat's mouth.
If we use Qiao Mu’s experience in playing games in his previous life, it is obvious that Xiandao is the son of the current version.
The Immortal Way has been iterated for countless years over the long years, and it has become quite prosperous and has derived a wide variety of spells.
Talismans, formations, refining Taoist weapons, refining weapons, refining elixirs... just like the most prosperous Master in the game, it has spawned many sub-professions in different directions.
As for Wufu...it's not so much that Wufu is like the warrior profession in the game. When Qiao Mu thinks about it carefully, it's actually more like an assassin.
The human body has its limits. After a martial artist practices the fourth level of strength, he derives four paths to the strength, strength, and skill... But in fact, the first three roads are almost dead ends for mortals. There is only one road leading to the third level, which is The way to refine God.
The way of refining the gods is the mainstream of today's martial arts practice, but it is a different approach. Instead of seeking to break through the limits of the physical body, it instead pursues refining the gods. It trains the intuition in the dark.
Even if you are a first-level God Refiner, you cannot resist the Bone-corroding Fire Talisman of the Immortal Monk, and you can only rely on your keen intuition to avoid it.
Either there are no injuries, or there are no bones left.
Compared with the prosperous immortal way, martial arts is just a toddler, only reaching the ninth level, and the third level is still a small path like the way of refining the gods.
"The human body has its limits. Compared with Immortal magic, a warrior's physical body is still a little weaker and has not exceeded the limits of the human body. Immortal monks have always regarded warriors as ordinary people, which is not unreasonable." Qiao Mu secretly shook his head.
It is common sense that the physical body cannot resist immortal magic.
Even Qiao Mu, who has practiced martial arts for nearly two hundred years, cannot use his fists to fight against the Arhat who has a moire orichalcum body.
In the end, he relied on the powerful and extremely strong martial arts inner strength after the demon disintegrated, rather than relying on his physical body to stand upright.
No matter how much you practice martial arts, human muscles and bones cannot compare to steel, let alone the immortal material moiré orichalcum.
"Unfortunately, the human body will age. Hai Wuya's "Sumishan King Sutra" is a strength training method that specializes in qi and blood. But I have practiced it for more than a hundred years, and most of the qi and blood have been used. On top of fighting your own aging.”
With a thought in his mind, Qiao Mu glanced at the Ouroboros Immortality Lock in his mind.
The information flow emerged, and the energy and blood column was marked with 21%.
This means that Qiao Mu's total energy and blood volume is only about one-fifth of what it was at its peak.
Of course, this so-called peak period is a false proposition. A property like a frictionless smooth slope exists only in theory.
When Qiao Muqing was in his prime, his physical body was actually not as strong as it is now at the age of 210.
Qiao Mu has always regarded the qi and blood column as empty, because his qi and blood did not decline with age, but increased with the breakthrough of the Sumeru King Sutra.
The immortal way has been prosperous for countless years, which is the result of the pioneering work of generations of long-lived monks, but the four paths of martial arts are still unclear.
Qiao Mu originally thought that if the Martial Arts Alliance could really open up a path to Taoism through martial arts, it would be a great good deed.
But now it seems...it's all an illusion.
"How did you get the skills to cultivate Taoist soldiers, and how did you develop the bronze body you have today?" Qiao Mu pressed the bronze-bodied Arhat, who already looked confused.
"I was one of the first batch of god-refining warriors to join the Martial Arts Alliance, and also one of the first batch of people to master the Golden Body Technique..."
The bronze-bodied Arhat fell into memories....
His real age is actually over seventy years old, and like many warriors, he is in his later years when his vitality and blood are declining.
Although he has reached the third level of refining the gods, his breakthrough is far away. He was once hunted by the killers of the Wu Jihui and became the food of the martial saints.
Under such a dilemma, he made a decisive decision and became one of the earliest members of the Martial Arts Alliance.
"The Golden Body Technique... is a martial arts technique bestowed by the immortals of the Dao Dao Sect. It is divided into three levels: copper skin, iron bone, and golden body, which correspond to the third, second, and first levels of refining gods respectively."
"I am a third-level God Refiner, and I can only cultivate to the copper-skin realm at most. Once I achieve it, I will stay at the copper-skin realm for life and cannot break through to a higher level."
"If you want to practice the Golden Body Technique...most of the god-refining warriors have difficulty cultivating it alone. The techniques alone are not enough, you also need the pills issued by the Martial Arts Alliance...If you practice by yourself, even if you are not successful, No, but it’s extremely difficult.”
The elixir in his mouth should be specially processed moire orichalcum... This thought crossed Qiao Mu's mind, and he lowered his head and glanced at Arhat's beaten chest.
This Arhat still has some flesh and blood and organs in his body, so he is not considered a pure human being, nor is he pure orichalcum with moiré patterns.
He was also different from the Tao soldiers Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and others met in the Baili Desert.
Those paper figures and bean soldiers do not have much wisdom, but this bronze Arhat still retains his own consciousness, and is not much different from ordinary people except for his physical body.
Without taking off his clothes to reveal his true physical appearance, Arhat looks more like a tall warrior with an extremely burly figure.
"Who is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?" Qiao Mu asked again.
"Yes" Luo Han said halfway, but he stopped suddenly, there was no sound in his mouth, and his originally hazy eyes suddenly froze.
At the same time, Qiao Canxue also opened her eyes again, and a faint clear light appeared in the white eyes, covering Arhat's whole body.
"There are restrictions from the immortal monks...but it can be suppressed for the time being." She pinched a spell in her hand, and a piece of talisman paper fell naturally on her fingertips, turning into a faint cyan talisman fire and surrounding the Arhat.
At the same time as the fuhuo appeared, Arhat's eyes, which had been frozen, moved again and continued:
"It's King Qin."
"Prince Qin?" Hai Siyuan, who had been listening quietly next to him, suddenly changed his color:
"The King of Qin who was recently canonized by the Great Yan Imperial Court? The King of Qin of the Great Qin Mansion?"
"Yes, it's King Qin. I was also ordered by King Qin to come to the imperial capital to meet the Qiao family." Arhat continued with a dull expression:
"Prince Qin was already a first-level god refiner before he mastered the "Golden Body Art". His real name was Qin Shiqing, and he died physically at the hands of Qiao Shuangsen of the Qiao family."
"It's just that the soul changes at the time of life and death, so after the Tao Zhen Immortal of the Dao Dao Sect restrained the soul, Qin Shiqing became the first person to reach the golden body level and enter Taoism through martial arts."
"The Immortal Chief of Dao Dao Sect said that he survived the catastrophe, and he might be an extraordinary person with martial arts luck, and his Taoist heart is stable, so he devoted all his efforts to cultivate him..."
After saying this, the clear light that shrouded the Arhat suddenly shattered, the surrounding talisman fire went out, and the Arhat tilted his head, bleeding from his seven orifices and died.
Qiao Canxue's opened eyes closed again, but her face was as white as paper at this time. It was obvious that preventing the activation of the Immortal Dao Restriction just now was a big drain on her.
But at this time, Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan and others were already immersed in the last news about Luo Han's life.
King Qin, whose real name is Qin Shiqing.
He was once a first-grade god-refining martial artist that Qiao Mu "killed".
It's just that the other party's "resurrection" method seems to be different from that of the bronze-bodied Arhat who takes oral elixirs to assist his practice.
He lost his body and his soul changed... He survived the catastrophe but became the "King of Qin".
Hai Siyuan looked bitter.
He had been holding back his words just now, but now he couldn't help it anymore.
"Mr. Qiao, do you still remember the reward from the court that my father Hai Wuya read out after he went to worship the heroic souls outside the Anxi Pass?"
At that time, the Dayan court was quite generous with its rewards.
Although they were not given real power, each of the three hundred old soldiers received gold and silver rewards, and their official positions were promoted to three or five levels in a row. The worst among these three hundred people was also a fifth- and sixth-level military official.
As for the people of the isolated city other than the old soldiers, the imperial court also waved its hand and made appropriate arrangements...
"The imperial court arranged for the people of the isolated city to go to the newly established Daqin Mansion!"
After Hai Siyuan said this, his eyes were dull for a moment.
At the beginning, they thought that after leaving the isolated city, there was still an unquenchable fire left by the Immortal-Destroying Army in the outside world.
Later, when I learned the truth, I got a reward in the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace. Although it was not as good as I had originally expected, it was still a good result.
The old soldiers have been fighting for a lifetime. Although they have not seen the Kyushu people resisting the Immortal Sect, it is not bad now that they can return home with the gold and silver rewards.
Who knows....it's just an illusion.
The relationship between the Martial Arts Alliance and the Xianmen Dao Sect is unclear, but King Qin Shiqing made it clear that he was a warrior who "resurrected from the dead" and became a golden Taoist soldier with the help of the Dao Sect monks.
Then the imperial court arranged for the people of Gucheng to be resettled in the newly established Daqin Mansion. Wouldn't this mean that they were leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth again?
"No wonder the Dao Dao Sect didn't respond after the truth about the lonely city in the desert came out. It turns out they were waiting here!"
Hai Siyuan subconsciously clenched his fists, but he only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
When we were in a hundred miles of desert, the threat from the Immortal Sect monks was obvious. They didn't play conspiracy, they only played violent attacks.
But in the outside world of Kyushu, the battle between the Immortal Sect and the Great Yan Dynasty was going on in the dark, which frightened even a veteran like him.
He lived for more than sixty years, and spent most of his life trapped in an isolated city, fighting on the battlefield, but he was completely confused about these overt and covert conspiracies.
"Mr. Qiao..." Hai Siyuan raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Mu.
"Mr. Qiao."
"Mr. Qiao." The other veterans had similar reactions, and their eyes focused on Qiao Mu.
They all wanted to say something, but they couldn't speak.
What Qiao Shui did made them subconsciously regard Qiao Shui as Qiao Shuangsen and others who had fought alongside them in the lonely city.
Although Qiao Shuangsen is a foreign warrior, he is also a comrade who fights side by side.
If they were with their ordinary comrades, Hai Siyuan and others would naturally not be coy and would immediately speak up, saying that they wanted the old man from the Qiao family in front of them to set off with them to break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave in the Great Qin Mansion, where the Dao Dao Sect stood behind them.
But Qiao Shuangsen was already dead, and in front of them was Qiao Shui.
