Chapter 15 Taihao Flying Knife
Having cultivated on Yaoguang Peak for a hundred years, Mo Yuan's internal organs were tempered to an indestructible state, and he successfully mastered the divine power of the Five-Colored Collapsing Heaven Light.
Seizing the opportunity, Mo Yuan flashed to the banks of the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River.
The winding Linghe River meanders like a dragon, with each bend revealing a unique world, subtly embodying the profound principles of heaven and earth.
The river water was crystal clear, shimmering with spiritual light, and the waves crashing against the shore created a series of murmurs.
The banks of the Nine-Bend Spirit River are home to strange spiritual stone veins and ancient crystal clusters, while the immortal herbs and flowers that grow along this river radiate a faint glow.
"The Earth Spirit Flower can enhance one's qi and blood, and the Ghostly Grass is the main ingredient for refining the Profound Pill. After I have strengthened my flesh, bones and muscles, I will definitely try to refine the Immortal Pill."
Mo Yuan glanced around and murmured to himself.
Then, he looked up at the upper reaches of the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River and saw the Earth Vein Spirit Ginseng coiled in the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River like an ancient dragon. Its skin was a warm, dark yellow color, and it had patterns similar to dragon scales.
At the top grow nine leaves that resemble mutton fat jade. Surrounding the leaves is a red stone flower that is half-open and about to bloom. With each imperceptible opening and closing, the essence of the Earth element is drawn into it.
The roots of the Earth Vein Ginseng penetrate into the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River and even reach deep into the earth, where a continuous stream of energy is refined every moment.
The earth vein ginseng that Mo Yuan had previously picked could only be considered its roots, but even so, the energy it contained was enough to make Huanglong Zhenren and others marvel.
Mo Yuan raised his forelimbs, and a blade of light slashed through the void, severing dozens of roots from the Earth Vein Spirit Ginseng. These roots then transformed into palm-sized Earth Vein Spirit Ginsengs that landed in front of him.
"With the essence of the Earth element in the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River and these Earth Vein Spirit Ginseng, my flesh and meridians should be greatly strengthened, and at the same time, my cultivation should be able to break through to the mid-stage of True Immortal."
Mo Yuan swallowed all the earth vein ginseng and went directly into the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River, letting the river water wash over his flesh, blood, and meridians.
A vast and boundless energy erupted within his body, and the Earth Vein Ginseng released its unique vitality, causing his meridians to be tinged with a mysterious yellow glow.
Circulating the Earthly Ancestral Qi Scripture, Mo Yuan began to refine this energy, while simultaneously absorbing the essence of the Earth element to temper his flesh and meridians, stabilizing his cultivation and accumulating his magical power.
Mo Yuan's flesh, meridians, and bones were becoming stronger at a visible speed, but he was not satisfied with the status quo. Instead, he took out the alchemy manual given to him by Master Du'e and began to study the way of alchemy.
Because he mastered the basics of alchemy hundreds of years ago, it is not particularly difficult for him to comprehend it now. Whether it is manipulating the Qilin True Fire or the art of condensing pills, he can easily understand it.
In a way, he felt a special affinity for alchemy, and even without putting it into practice, he was confident that he could successfully refine the elixir.
Time flies like an arrow; the world changes and stars shift.
Before they knew it, hundreds of years had passed.
Mo Yuan's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of True Immortal, and his body had grown more than ten feet taller. At this moment, his blood flowed with a molten gold-like radiance, and his flesh and bones were incredibly dense. His meridians were like rivers and canals, with pure magical power flowing through them.
Mo Yuan did not become complacent about his breakthrough in cultivation level. He concealed his aura and appeared directly in the Ta Yun Mansion the next moment.
"First, I will refine the white tiger's teeth into an acquired spiritual treasure, and then refine some elixirs. This way, I will have the confidence to go to Buzhou Mountain to find the Qilin Seal."
"Without a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to protect me, I always feel like something's missing!"
Mo Yuan took out the white tiger's tooth and the remaining Gengjin spirit crystals. Not only that, he also took out all the rare and precious materials related to the Gengjin law within the Qilin Cliff territory for refining.
Taiyi Refined Gold, Starfall Gold, and Void Crystal Steel are all natural treasures that were born after Qilin Cliff became a blessed land for immortals, and now they will all play their due roles.
The Qilin True Fire fell from the top of Mo Yuan's twin horns, enveloping Gengjin Spirit Crystal, Taiyi Refined Gold, and other materials. The scorching heat permeated the top of Qilin Cliff, and the materials transformed into a stream of water, surging towards the white tiger's teeth that were suspended in the air.
"roar!"
The tiger's roar shook the heavens and the earth. A white tiger phantom appeared and disappeared, its fierce aura and killing rules rushing towards Mo Yuan. Its tiger eyes were filled with a cold expression.
However, all the imposing aura quickly dissipated. The white tiger phantom seemed to recognize Mo Yuan, let out a mournful cry towards him, and then vanished.
Some fragmented images appeared in his mind, showing the past when the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin Clan led their respective forces in an earth-shattering war in Fenglin Continent, and this white tiger phantom was a powerful member of the White Tiger Clan.
He was actually at the early stage of Quasi-Saint during his lifetime, but unfortunately he perished after this great battle.
"Below the saints, all are ants. Whether they are quasi-saints or ordinary beings, once they fall into a great calamity, they will face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. The three races are a stark example of this."
"I still need to cling to the Heavenly Dao and the Sage of the Chan Sect to accumulate merit and good fortune for myself, so that I can transcend the calamity and attain freedom and ease."
Mo Yuan sighed softly in his heart, his will becoming even stronger.
Going against the will of Heaven is the way, and going with the flow is also the way.
Being cautious and following the natural order is never wrong.
Using the Qilin True Fire to refine the white tiger's tooth, the object gradually transformed into a seven-inch-long and one-inch-wide throwing knife. Its entire body was as warm and smooth as jade, occasionally emitting a chilling light, with white tiger stripes faintly visible.
"The condensed runes have broken through the acquired restrictions."
"Only in this way can this throwing knife become an acquired spiritual treasure."
Mo Yuan looked at the flying knife floating in front of him. He made a hand seal in the air, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed into runes. From the top of Yaoguang Peak, fragments of the golden element law came towards the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River and then gathered into the runes.
Mo Yuan cannot comprehend the laws, but within the Qilin Cliff territory, he can activate these law fragments. Therefore, he intends to use these metal element law fragments to enhance the power of this flying knife.
really.
As the fragments of the Metal Element Law and countless runes merged into one, a chilling and sharp aura instantly appeared, causing the space to tremble slightly, as if it were about to be torn apart.
"Imperial Edict!"
Mo Yuan gave a soft shout, and runes entered the flying knife.
The flying knife immediately became stained with a crimson-gold radiance, within which runes, killing intent, and the rules of Geng metal were integrated, and then, under the control of Mo Yuan's divine sense, it began to evolve into an acquired restriction.
At the same time, the power revealed by the throwing knife is also increasing.
In the primordial world, the number of restrictions on innate spiritual treasures is fixed at the moment of their evolution and birth. For example, the Qian Yuan Pagoda, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure wielded by Mo Yuan, has twelve innate restrictions, reaching the limit of a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.
The middle grade consists of twenty-four paths.
The highest level is the thirty-six paths.
The innate restrictions on top-grade innate spiritual treasures can reach as many as forty-eight.
The innate treasure is subject to forty-nine innate restrictions, which correspond to the number forty-nine in the celestial evolution. Only those with profound fortune and deep roots can possess it.
Even within the same grade, the power of an innate spiritual treasure can vary depending on the number of innate restrictions it has.
Of course, the innate restrictions are only one aspect. We also need to see whether this innate spiritual treasure was born after the creation of the primordial world or evolved from fragments of chaotic spiritual treasures from the Great Calamity of Creation.
Generally speaking, any innate spiritual treasure that is associated with Chaos Spiritual Treasure is quite powerful and possesses a creative power that is different from other innate spiritual treasures.
Different paths lead to the same destination; the same principle applies to the acquired spiritual treasure.
Both the Enlightenment Futon and the Water Element Pearl possess twenty-four innate restrictions, making them flawless and impeccable among mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures.
After all, these two mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures were crafted by sages, so how could they have any flaws?
"Breaking through acquired restrictions is by no means easy, and it becomes more and more difficult as you go further. The time, mana, and metal element law fragments required, as well as the mental effort required, all increase exponentially."
"However, giving up halfway is not in my nature. It's just twenty-four acquired restrictions. I'll break through them even if it costs me my life."
Mo Yuan looked at the throwing knife and grinned.
With the advantage of being the master of Qilin Cliff, Mo Yuan was able to unleash his magic power and condense runes without any scruples, in order to break through the acquired restrictions.
Unlike the Enlightenment Futon and the Water Element Pearl, which are mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures that require him to refine with magic power and divine sense, this flying knife that he personally crafted can be directly controlled by him.
Therefore, if he could imbue this throwing knife with twenty-four acquired restrictions, it would become one of his trump cards.
Killing without leaving a trace is enough to help him transcend realms and fight.
There's no other way; when traveling through this ancient world, having more trump cards gives you a greater sense of security.
Great immortals are everywhere, while golden immortals are less valuable than dogs.
We are currently in the period of the Lich-Demon Calamity, where the Lich Clan, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, and the Immortal Court of Zifu Continent are vying for power. Any minor figure among these three forces could bring about his annihilation.
It's best to be fully prepared before heading to Buzhou Mountain to find the Qilin Seal.
His magical power dried up and then replenished, his divine sense was constantly honed in the condensation of runes, becoming stronger than before, and Mo Yuan's manipulation of the Qilin True Fire became more and more refined. He had his own unique understanding of the way of weapon crafting.
The acquired restrictions on that flying knife kept increasing, and eventually only one more acquired restriction would appear every few decades. It took Mo Yuan almost a hundred years to open up the last acquired restriction.
As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards diligence," and after more than three hundred years, Mo Yuan finally made this flying knife a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and it was already at the top level in this grade.
A cold glint appeared, and the killing was fierce.
Looking at the throwing knife that made a crisp, clanging sound in his palm, Mo Yuan's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he immediately decided to give it a name.
"Logically, something forged from a white tiger's tooth should be called the White Tiger Dagger or the White Tiger Flying Knife, but I want to be a little more elegant and cultured, so let's call it the Taihao Flying Knife!"
"The Taihao Flying Knife can be used to ambush and kill enemies, or it can trigger the rules of killing and the order of Geng metal to kill enemies. It is an essential treasure for me to travel in the prehistoric world."
"Next, I need to use Earth Spirit Flower, Ghostly Grass, and Earth Vein Ginseng to refine the elixir, and then I'll set off for Mount Buzhou!"
Mo Yuan absorbed the Taihao Flying Knife into his primordial spirit and said with a profound look in his eyes.
Earth Vein Ginseng, Jade Marrow Vermilion Fruit, and Nine Aperture Stone Infant Fruit are all low-grade acquired spiritual roots, which should be materials for refining three-stage golden pills. However, he does not yet have the ability to refine three-stage golden pills, so he can only waste them.
The art of alchemy and the art of weapon crafting share some similarities. For example, both involve manipulating the Qilin True Fire to refine rare and precious materials. Therefore, Mo Yuan had great confidence in refining immortal pills.
Furthermore, having the alchemical texts compiled by Laozi of Taiqing, he only needs to follow the steps.
Failure? Impossible!
