Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 58: Many Methods
"One died?"

"Six dead..."

"..."

"..."

You're the sixth one alive, right?

What a fucking joke from hell.

Lin Jian couldn't laugh. "Are these seven sword immortals the most powerful seven in the Upper Nine Realms?"

"Not really, there are some others of similar level."

"Then there's still a fight..."

"But the purpose of these four great demons' activity is to summon their common master."

"..."

"..."

"Haha!" Lin Jian started straight away and picked up the secret book. "Let's take a look at the secret book."

There are several kinds of secret books brought back from Zhenyang, which are divided into three categories: skills, mental skills, and techniques.

The skills are the bones, the mind is the soul, and the techniques are the use.

The most basic of these, of course, is the exercises.

When one first comes into contact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during the Qi Refining Period, it is enough as long as one can refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into one's own true qi. There is no need to be too particular about it, and there is no distinction between the spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The basic skills of the Zhengyang Sect are available to all disciples, and everyone starts from the same point.

But it was not until the foundation was established that differences began to appear.

To lay the foundation is to lay the foundation for the golden elixir and the foundation for the path to immortality.

From this moment on, spiritual energy itself is no longer the absolute focus of cultivation.

The quantity is important, but so is the quality.

From this moment on, the martial arts techniques were differentiated according to the five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and each school and sect also had its own secrets that were not passed on to others.

The Zhengyang Sect's gold-attributed foundation-building technique is called "Taibai Forging Gold Technique".

Every day, you need to absorb the sharp energy of the metal element during the Shen hour when the Geng metal energy is at its strongest. Depending on the speed of practicing the exercises, every time you complete a large circle, you can extract a strand of purer metal-attributed true qi from your own true qi, which is also called "Taibai Xuangang".

The most important goal of the foundation-building period is to transform all the true energy in the body into "Taibai Xuan Gang". By then, even a random stream of true energy will have the power of the current "Golden Light Sword".

In terms of mental skills, during the foundation-building period, one also begins to gradually train one's spiritual awareness.

The path to becoming an immortal requires the cultivator to strengthen himself in all aspects, making sure that there are no shortcomings.

There are loopholes in spiritual awareness. When encountering an expert in spiritual awareness, one can fall into the illusion without knowing it with just a glare. When he dies, he may still be laughing foolishly in the illusion.

Just like the statue of the God of Wealth encountered last time, the opponent's methods were not very sophisticated, and Lin Jian was also very vigilant. But even so, he was easily fooled and saw many illusions that could have been avoided.

Therefore, in terms of mental skills, it was upgraded from the basic mental skills that could only be used to calm the mind and concentrate during the Qi Refining Period to the "Golden Spirit Secret Method".

There are two major secret techniques in the secret method, one is "Sharp Eyes" for insight and defense, the other is "God-Slaying Needle" for attack and killing.

The spiritual consciousness of the first level of foundation building in the forest cannot leave the body too far, so it is impossible to practice the second secret technique. For the time being, he can only practice the first secret technique "Sharp Eyes" to protect himself.

To practice this secret technique, one needs to visualize the aura of war every day, and the best effect is achieved at the hour of Yin.

As for magic, in addition to the "Qi Guan Chang Hong" that he had secretly learned before, there are two more means of attack and killing: "Thousand Blades Tribulation Finger" and "White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation".

The Thousand Blades Tribulation Finger is an advanced application of the Golden Light Sword, condensing hundreds or even thousands of Golden Light Swords into a single, hair-thin blade. Theoretically, its single-target lethality is the highest among Foundation Establishment cultivators. The greater the number of Golden Light Swords compressed, the greater its ultimate power.

If the theoretical upper limit of one thousand golden swords can be compressed, then even a cultivator in the Jindan stage can have a chance... but only with one move.

Of course, in actual combat, the opponent usually has the final say on how much the number can be compressed.

After all, there are very few opponents who would just watch stupidly when they see a cultivator with golden spiritual roots rubbing the Thousand Blades Tribulation Fingers on the spot.

Therefore, the key to using this move actually lies in how familiar you are with the Golden Sword and how fast you can shoot it.

As for the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation, it is a traditional tactic used to arrange the battlefield in advance.

After activating the formation, a "golden evil rain" can be brought down on all targets within the formation.

To perform this formation, some specific metals are needed as the materials for the formation. The more evil the metal is and the more outstanding its quality is, the more powerful the lethality will be when performing this move.

As for how long the rain will last, of course it depends on the amount of metal prepared in advance. As long as the amount is sufficient, it will not be a problem to rain for three days and two nights.

If some legendary magic weapons could be used as materials, let alone the golden elixir, even an old monster in the Yuanying stage could be slaughtered as long as he was stupid enough not to run away.

Like the Thousand Blades Finger, this is another technique with an extremely high theoretical upper limit.

This is the nature of metal. No matter how it performs in actual combat, the theoretical damage is always stronger than the other.

In addition to the two major killing techniques, there are also "Golden Hand", "Seven Star Stepping Clouds", "Cicada Shedding No Trace", "Zhou Tian Absorbing Yuan Technique", "Earthly Evil Borrowing Spirit Array" and other functions that do not require direct killing or general techniques.

The transition from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment is an all-round improvement. All the grievances suffered during the Qi Refining stage can be made up for in the Foundation Establishment stage.

This is just the first level of foundation building. When you reach the second, third, and fourth levels of foundation building, there will be corresponding methods waiting to be developed in the forest.

At this moment, Lin Jian displayed all his techniques to Chunxue, looking at the female swordsman expectantly. "How is it? Any ideas?"

The Four Sects Competition will be held in a few days. If I want to perform well in the Four Sects Competition, I must hurry and master these techniques.

But if Haruyuki has an improved and optimized plus version, then there is no need to waste time on the regular version.

Chunxue twisted her green and white jade fingers and picked out the secret books one by one as if she was picking vegetables in the market.

"Let's practice the Taibai Forging Gold Technique first. This is the foundation. We can only think of a way to improve the speed of the technique."

"There's no rush for the Golden Spirit Secret Technique. I'll think of something for you."

"The core of the Thousand Blades Tribulation Finger and the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation lies not in themselves. The answer already lies within you."

Lin Jian scratched his forehead, "I know about the Thousand Blades Tribulation Finger..."

As for the Six Meridians Divine Sword, one sword is more powerful than six. His speed in casting the Golden Light Sword has far surpassed that of his peers.

"But the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation..."

Chunxue looked at the storage ring on Linjian's hand with a smile in his eyes.

"I saw you pick up a lot of flying sword fragments that day. They contain both the evil spirit I carried when I killed the enemy and the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon. In terms of effectiveness, they are much better than ordinary treasures and divine ores. Aren't they the best materials for setting up the White Tiger Roaring Sky Formation?"

"What the hell?" Lin Jian was stunned, then his face turned delighted. "Master Sword Immortal, your opinion is brilliant!"

Chunxue had a smile on his face, holding the Golden Spirit Secret Technique in his hand, but just when he was feeling proud, his face suddenly froze.

"...No, didn't I offend the world's fortune and can no longer earn spirit stones? Why should I help you?"

Lin Jian's face was solemn as he put his arm around Chunxue's shoulders. "What's the relationship between you and me? Even if it means going against the will of heaven, I will definitely get this bit of fortune back for you!"

Haruyuki was touched. "You're so kind..."
