Chapter 433 The Spirituality of the Sword
It is an extremely difficult thing to sacrifice and refine your natal magic weapon.
It is not easy for cultivators in the golden elixir stage to perform sacrifices to magic weapons. It is naturally even more difficult to perform sacrifices to the magic weapons of one's own destiny. However, those who succeed in the sacrifices are all talented or have great opportunities.
Moreover, the ritual refining of magic weapons is different from the ritual refining of magic weapons. It requires higher spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. If you are not careful, your cultivation level will be greatly damaged, or the sea of consciousness will be exhausted, and you will never recover!
The price of failure is extremely heavy. How many people dare to risk their own cultivation and lives?
Cultivators below the Golden Core level cannot sacrifice magic weapons, and this is also why.
What Lin Mu wants to do now is not to refining the magic weapon, but to refining his own magic weapon that is several times, or even dozens of times more powerful than the magic weapon!
The difficulty can be imagined, and the dangers can also be expected.
Once it fails, given Lin Mu's current cultivation and realm, the damage to himself will be much greater than that of a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, and the danger will be at least ten times that of a cultivator at the Golden Core stage refining his own magic weapon!
There are only a few cultivators in the golden elixir stage who can successfully refine their natal magic weapon.
But Lin Mu made up his mind and vowed to sacrifice his natal magic weapon!
He has his own plans for the future, and he cannot ruin his future and destiny just because he has inexplicably offended a force now!
Enhancing strength is certainly a top priority and is urgent.
But now that he was asked to condense the golden elixir, he was unwilling in every possible way. He is not a short-sighted person. Now he has the opportunity to continuously strengthen himself. Compared with other top cultivators, his qualifications and resources are inferior to others. The only advantage now is that he can wait, endure, and slowly polish his foundation.
Once he hone his foundation to a deep enough level and condenses the golden elixir, he will be confident that he can kill the golden elixir at will!
And now, as long as he can successfully refine the natal magic weapon, with his swordsmanship and the sharpness of the natal magic weapon, he may be able to gain a slight upper hand in a battle with ordinary late-stage Jindan cultivators!
The Lingjin Sword was a gift from Judge Sikong. It is said to be worth tens of millions of spiritual stones. The previous owner was already a master in the Concentration Stage!
The power of this natal magic weapon is unparalleled and extremely sharp!
Of course, the risks of sacrificial refining are also like an abyss, unfathomable.
But Lin Mu is not afraid of these. He has never seen big winds and waves. He has experienced many struggles between life and death. Even if he has lost all his cultivation, he has also experienced how bad the situation is and how bad it can be. The point?
The worst thing is, we have to start over again!
And once the sacrifice is successful, it will be essentially different from now!
When he encounters an ordinary late-stage Golden Elixir master, he can hope to kill him alone. If he cooperates with the Xuan Yue Pendant, or with the assistance of Qingniu Tianshui Qinglao, it is not difficult to kill the late Golden Elixir master!
Go ahead to dangers.
No matter how high the risk is, he will try it.
Lin Mu immediately patted the storage bag, and with a flash of inspiration, a golden flying sword appeared in his hand.
The golden flying sword is sharp and murderous.
The Lingjin Sword is well-deserved.
Looking at the sharp Lingjin sword in his hand, Lin Mu's expression flashed with confusion.
Lin Mu knew nothing about sacrificing and refining magic weapons, and he was even more confused about refining his own magic weapons. He made such a decision with determination, but when he really held the Lingjin Sword in his hands, he knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between ideal and reality!
Fortunately, Lin Mu remembered the "General Guidelines for Refining Weapons" passed down by Master Tianzhu. He clearly remembered that in the "General Guide to Refining Weapons", there were records on how to refining the natal magic weapon.
With a thought in his mind, Lin Mu immediately took out the "General Guide to Refining Weapons" from his storage bag and began to study it.
After a while, Lin Mu put down the jade slip, thoughtfully.
It wasn't until he read the jade slips that he had a clearer understanding of the life-saving magic weapon, and he also knew more clearly how difficult it was and how difficult it was to achieve!
According to Tianzhu Zhenren, there is no essential difference between the natal magic weapon sacrifice and the magic weapon sacrifice. It is just that it requires higher spiritual power and spiritual consciousness, and it tests the practitioner's comprehensive strength.
Sacrificing a magic weapon is different from refining a magic weapon. Sacrifice and refining a magic weapon is nothing more than the cultivator leaving a mark of his or her own consciousness in the magic weapon, and then using this mark of spiritual consciousness to control the magic weapon. But the magic weapon is different. The magic weapon is more spiritual. The spiritual consciousness of the cultivator must be more consistent with the magic weapon. It is even necessary to integrate a small part of the spiritual consciousness into the magic weapon. Once the magic weapon is successfully sacrificed, the cultivator can control himself. The body is the same, to control the magic weapon!
The sword turns at will, and the mind moves according to the heart. The "General Guide to Refining Weapons" talks about this realm.
The natal magic weapon is more spiritual, the sacrifice is more difficult, and more spiritual consciousness of the cultivator needs to be integrated. Once the sacrifice fails, all the spiritual consciousness integrated into the natal magic weapon will be lost and cannot be recovered!
But if the sacrifice is successful, the power of the natal magic weapon is far more powerful than the magic weapon. Because it is very spiritual, it even has the ability to automatically protect the master when the practitioner is practicing, in case the practitioner encounters unexpected events. In addition, due to their different spiritualities, the natal magic weapon can also spontaneously attack the enemy to a certain extent without the need for deliberate manipulation by the cultivator.
Some extremely powerful natal magic weapons do not require the owner to control them. They can automatically absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and perform sword skills on their own. They can even fire sword skills continuously and integrate sword skills!
This made Lin Mu dumbfounded and surprised. If he had such a magic weapon, he could watch from the sidelines leisurely when fighting with others without having to do anything himself. Even if you encounter a powerful enemy, you can let Feijian fight for a while. After consuming the enemy's strength, he can go up and strike with a fatal blow!
The world is full of wonders.
After studying the "General Guide to Refining Weapons", Lin Mu had a clearer understanding of the ritual refining of the Lingjin Sword.
But he knows more clearly that with his current strength, he cannot even complete the first step of the sacrifice!
The first step and the most critical step in refining a magic weapon or a natal magic weapon is to transform into a spirit!
The biggest difference between a magic weapon and a magic weapon is that the magic weapon can enter and exit the cultivator's body at will. When in danger, the magic weapon can immediately appear outside as soon as the practitioner's mind moves. On weekdays, cultivators can also take the natal magic weapon into their body and use their own spiritual power and spiritual consciousness to constantly warm and nourish the magic weapon and enhance its power.
The power of magical weapons is destined from birth and cannot be improved after sacrifice.
At the beginning, the power of the magic weapon may be almost the same as that of the best magic weapons, or even slightly inferior to some extremely powerful top quality magic weapons. However, as the golden elixir stage cultivators continue to warm and cultivate it in their bodies, the power of the magic weapon will gradually become Powerful, until you can completely throw away the best magic weapon!
Lin Muxuan's golden sword was shattered by Qiu Feng's magic weapon-level flying sword, precisely because of this.
If you want the magic weapon to enter and exit the body at will, the most important thing is to transform it into a spirit!
That is to say, the magic weapon is turned into a wisp of spiritual energy, which can enter and exit the body at will according to the practitioner's thoughts.
This is extremely simple and commonplace. But it is extremely difficult to actually do it.
The magic weapons are all made from some rare refining materials. They can break mountains and crack rocks. They are extremely strong. It is not easy to turn them into a soft gas like spiritual energy. Moreover, the magic weapon itself has spirituality, and practitioners will encounter resistance from this spirituality when performing sacrifices.
The power of a magic weapon is not even weaker than that of the cultivator himself, and his spiritual power is naturally extremely powerful.
The natal magic weapon is far more powerful than the magic weapon, and the spirit is even more powerful. It is extremely difficult to practice it.
According to Tianzhu Zhenren's conception, if a cultivator wants to refine his natal magic weapon, he must have at least the strength of a middle-stage Jindan cultivator, and also have great opportunities!
This is the bottom line!
No matter how low your cultivation level is, there is no chance that the sacrifice will be successful. You will only lose your cultivation level and spiritual consciousness in vain, and there will be no hope of success!
Lin Mu's current physical body and spiritual consciousness have barely reached the minimum requirements mentioned by Master Tianzhu, but his own spiritual power is far behind in both quantity and quality!
And the reason why he wants to sacrifice his natal magic weapon now is because he wants to use it to enhance his strength and delay the time for the golden elixir to condense.
After some twists and turns, Lin Mu discovered that he was now back to where he started.
But this is not a desperate situation.
Tianzhu Zhenren is also a genius, and he came up with a gentle method of sacrificing and refining the natal magic weapon.
How can a person who can refine the Five Elements Ring be an ordinary person? You must know that the Five Elements Ring can be upgraded from the lowest low-grade magic weapon all the way up, and it is hoped that it will become a magic weapon!
Lin Mu has now upgraded the Five Elements Ring to the level of a top-quality magic weapon. Moreover, the Five Elements Ring itself also has a faint spirituality. Now he is planting it in his body with a sword technique. Once he successfully condenses the golden elixir, the Five Elements Ring will be You can be directly promoted to a natal magic weapon!
Gentle sacrificial refining of the natal magic weapon requires the cultivator to continuously communicate with the natal magic weapon with his spiritual consciousness on daily basis, so that the two become familiar with each other, until they finally reach the point where they accept each other harmoniously and are in harmony with each other. At that time, the sacrifice can begin!
In this way, the cultivator will avoid the spiritual resistance of the natal magic weapon when performing sacrifices. He only needs to follow the method and use his own spiritual power to turn the natal magic weapon into a gas like spiritual energy. Relatively speaking, it is simple. More than double!
Of course, this gentle sacrificial refining process is much longer and takes longer than ordinary sacrificial refining.
Lin Mu was very fond of this gentle sacrificial refining method. He asked himself that with his current strength, forcibly refining the Lingjin Sword would only be a thankless task. Gentle refining would give him more hope of success!
Moreover, he can practice the "Star God Refining Technique" and the "Medicine Tempering Body Refining Technique" while doing gentle sacrifices, slowly improving his consciousness and body.
Sacrificing and refining your natal magic weapon and accumulating strength and foundation enhance each other and go hand in hand!
In the next period of time, apart from occasionally entering the Xuan Yue Space to take care of some third-grade elixirs, Lin Mu spent the rest of his time practicing and communicating with Ling Jinjian.
Whether he was practicing or resting, Lin Mu always carried Ling Jinjian with him. He completely regarded Ling Jinjian as a good friend. After his sincere communication, taking the trouble, and testing again and again, Ling Jinjian's reaction was completely different from the initial strong resistance, and he began to gradually Show acceptance to him.
The spiritual energy in the Lingjin Sword is already like a life, far more powerful than the spiritual energy in Qiu Feng's natal magic weapon-level flying sword.
After Lin Mu communicated with Ling Jinjian for more than a year, he deeply felt that Ling Jinjian had life!
Over the past year, Lin Mu's consciousness has also greatly improved, his body has gradually become stronger, and everything is developing in a good direction.
The spiritual mass of the Lingjin Sword is very close to Lin Mu. Lin Mu believes that as long as he can successfully refine the Lingjin Sword, the spiritual mass in the Lingjin Sword will most likely turn into a spirit as he slowly nurtures it. The body becomes an alternative life!
Even, they all have their own emotions and joys and sorrows!
Now, Lin Mu's spiritual consciousness can enter the Lingjin Sword at will and communicate with that group of spirits as if he were a best friend.
The most difficult step of transforming into a spirit has been solved skillfully by him!
