Chapter 43 The Talisman
"Just just now, you and Senior Brother Ding competed with each other to fight against objects. The power of the copper coin sword and the peach wood sword is both great. It can easily cut off the wood and destroy the forest. This must be the legendary magic weapon, right?" Chen Luo asked while walking.
"You said this thing? It's not a magic weapon." Bai Xiaotian shook his head, took out the copper coin sword from his sleeve as he spoke, and handed it to Shen Luo's hand.
Chen Luo took it without hesitation and looked at it carefully.
This copper coin sword is only two feet long, and the workmanship is quite fine. It is made of ninety-ninety-one ancient coins with slight copper rust and woven in series with red ropes.
The styles of ancient coins are all the same. On one side, there are images of the twelve zodiac signs engraved around the square hole, and on the other side, there are four words "Long Lives and Wealth" engraved in regular script, but there are 81 rare ancient money.
The money is also minted by the government, and is generally not used for trading and circulation. It is mostly used for functions such as opening furnaces, warehousing, praying for blessings, etc. Although the quantity is far less than that of ordinary coins, it is not something too rare. In theory, it should not have the magical powers that are just now?
Could it be that this red rope connecting ancient coins is something weird?
Chen Luo was curious, rubbed the red rope with his hands, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, and found a faint smell of cinnabar on it, but he couldn't see what material was woven.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Xiaotian touched his nose and couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, stop researching it. The key is not on the copper coin sword. Even if you remove it, you can't tell the truth." After that, he took the sword back from Shen Luo's hand, took out a yellow paper talisman from his sleeve and stuck it to the hilt of the sword.
As he pinched the magic trick with one hand and recited it softly, a faint red light suddenly appeared on the talisman, wrapping up the entire sword body, just like when he was fighting just now.
Bai Xiaotian raised his fingers, and the copper coin sword trembled slightly, suddenly shot up, and flew in the air, flying around them.
Chen Luo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel sincere envy in his heart.
Bai Xiaotian did not mean to show off on purpose, but just made a little demonstration, then waved his hand and took back the copper coin sword and tore off the talismans on it.
"You also see that this copper coin sword needs to be activated by the talisman. Only with the help of the talisman's power can it be used to display some power. In fact, it is a pseudo-magic weapon called the 'talisman weapon'. Its power is 108,000 miles lower than that of the real magic weapon." Bai Xiaotian casually put away the copper coin sword and talisman and explained.
Chen Luo knew that there was no problem with Bai Xiaotian demonstrating the talisman to him, but the talisman on the copper coin sword could not be shown casually. This is the rule of the sect and the principle of dealing with things. No matter how close the relationship is, it cannot be overruled.
He had no grudges in his heart, but instead admired him more and felt that Bai Xiaotian was a worthy person to be with.
"The talisman weapon is already so magical, and I don't know how powerful that magic weapon should be?" Chen Luo said yearningly.
"The real magic weapon is not only powerful, but also has high requirements for users. Only when the cultivation level reaches the fasting stage can it be activated. Where can I see it? Our entire Spring and Autumn View is probably only available to the Master and the Master Uncle, and even Master Luo and Master Wang do not have it." Bai Xiaotian also had a yearning look on his face.
"It's fine if the master of the temple, but have you seen that uncle of the master before?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this.
Speaking of this uncle, it is also a strange story in the Spring and Autumn Annals. Because almost everyone has heard of his name, but has not heard of any disciple who has seen his true body, it seems very mysterious.
Some people say that he has lived for hundreds of years, some people say that he has become an immortal, and some people say that he has actually died long ago, and Guanshi has been hiding it for the sake of making a strong presence from the outside world.
The sinking falls from the bottom of my heart, but I am more willing to believe that this uncle of the master has a long life and is still alive.
"Although I have never seen him, I heard from Master Luo that Uncle Master is indeed in seclusion, but he rarely shows up. Perhaps only Master Guan and Master Luo can meet him in the temple." Bai Xiaotian said.
"In this way, can the path of cultivating immortals really prolong life?" Chen Luo was delighted.
"This is natural. As long as you break through one pass after another during practice, the upper limit of life expectancy will increase by one level every time you increase your realm. Our uncle is now hundreds of years old." Bai Xiaotian nodded and said affirmatively.
"It's true... according to the level of practice, I'm at the lowest level now, right?"
From Bai Xiaotian's mouth, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, and his desire to survive became increasingly eager.
"This..." Bai Xiaotian's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard this.
"I understand. It seems that it's not even the lowest level." Chen Luo immediately understood this, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said.
"The lowest level of the cultivation level is the Qi Refining Stage. If you can cultivate magic power, you can enter the Qi Refining Stage. I am now at this level. And the higher level is the Fasting Stage. Master Luo and Guanzhu are both in this realm." Bai Xiaotian had no choice but to explain.
"So that's it, where is that uncle of the master? Do you know what realm he is?" Chen Luo asked again.
"Master Luo has never mentioned it, but from his rough life span, he may be in the Soul Condensation Stage that is higher than the first level of the fasting stage." Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said so.
When Chen Luo heard this, he immediately remembered it in his heart.
Bai Xiaotian's words today seemed to open a door in front of him, allowing him to see his hope of survival and realize his insignificance as an ordinary mortal. For a moment, his heart was mixed.
A mortal has only been in a hurry for decades. How much time can there be left in the middle when the young and old are powerless?
But he couldn't even ask for this short time, how could he be willing to do so?
"Brother Bai, when you were fighting with Senior Brother Ding, the technique you used should be the 'Pure Yang Sword Technique'?" Chen Luo calmed down and asked again.
Bai Xiaotian was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he was a little surprised that Chen Luo knew the "Pure Yang Sword Technique".
"Don't think it's strange. Although I, a registered disciple, cannot access other techniques, it's not difficult to spend more money and find out some information. I know that the Xiaohua Yang Gong is just a foundation-based technique, which is considered a body-building technique practiced by mortals. It is used to lay the foundation for practicing the Pure Yang Sword Technique. The Pure Yang Sword Technique is the technique that can truly cultivate magic in the Guan, right?" Chen Luo saw the doubts in Bai Xiaotian's heart and said with a smile.
"You guys are very informative. Yes, Xiaohua Yang Gong is indeed the foundation-laying technique. Only disciples who have practiced it to the point of perfection are qualified to try to practice the first level of Pure Yang Sword Decision." Bai Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and said no longer concealed.
"In other words, as long as you practice Xiaohuayang Gong, you can practice the Pure Yang Sword Technique and truly begin to enter the path of cultivation?" Chen Luo asked seriously.
"How can it be so simple? Being qualified to try the first level of the Pure Yang Sword Technique does not mean that you can achieve the 'Urgent Dharma Nature'. Only by passing the Urgent Dharma Nature can you be considered a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage and truly stepping into the gate of the Immortal Way." Bai Xiaotian shook his head repeatedly.
