Chapter 6: Chapter 6: The Five Elements Spirit Ring
Liu Yan was stunned by his words, the wine gourd he was holding up stopped in mid-air like that, the wine inside the gourd clattered out, suddenly spilling all over him, and only then did he wake up.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've heard someone say something like that to me, it's rare that you still have a sense of filial piety, this is just like your Eldest Senior Brother," Liu Yan said, corking the wine gourd and hanging it back on his waist.
Xu Mu sniffed and asked curiously, "Senior, I wonder why several senior brothers have died?"
Liu Yan's eyes were mesmerized by his question, which seemed to have stirred up past events in him, and he recalled for a long time, but then he asked, "Firewood Zi, which realm cultivator do you think Master Zun was?"
When Xu Mu saw that his master didn't answer his own question, but instead asked himself this question, he first froze for a moment, then didn't dare to think of anything else, and after a moment's thought, he honestly said, "Going back to my master's words, the disciple doesn't know."That's also true, you've only met a few cultivators, it's normal that you don't know," Liu Yan smiled faintly and said in a rather despondent tone, "Back in his teacher's time, he was a mid-JieDan cultivator!"
"Mid-JieDan level?" Xu Mu was startled when he heard this, he had never expected his master's cultivation to be so high.
He had lived in a mountain village for a long time and didn't know much about the legendary cultivator realms, but he had heard many legends that once a cultivator formed a Jindan, it was an extremely powerful existence.
However, since Master was a Jindan level cultivator, and this elder addressed Master as his nephew, did he mean that he was an even more powerful cultivator?
Seeing Xu Mu's shocked face, Liu Yan smiled and said, "Unfortunately, that was all back then, and the current master is nothing more than a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Hearing this, Xu Mu saw that his master had no intention of stopping, so he did not ask any more questions, but quietly made a listening gesture to the side.
Seeing this, Liu Yan nodded his head in satisfaction and continued to politely recount what happened back then.Ten years ago, when Liu Yan was still a mid-JieDan cultivator, his master ordered him to go out and explore a monument from which he was able to obtain a copy of the weapon refining method.
After two years of hard work, Liu Yan, relying on the insights left behind by his master's ancestor, managed to comprehend a spiritual weapon refining method called the Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring.
According to his speculation, once this spiritual weapon was successfully refined, it would completely overturn the previous cultivation world's weapon refining system!
However, in order to refine such a spirit weapon, it would first require the cooperation of five cultivators with different spirit roots!
Therefore, Liu Yan immediately opened his master's door and recruited not only his eldest disciple Xue Zhang, who had been at his side from the beginning, but also four other disciples with different spiritual roots.
In order to improve the cultivation of these four disciples as soon as possible, Liu Yan can be said to have made every effort to cultivate them, and finally, two years ago, the lowest cultivation of Fire Forest Zi Feng Yi also successfully laid the foundation.
Since all five disciples had successfully built their foundation, Liu Yan's plan also began, and he told the five disciples about the method of refining the Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring, prepared the materials for refining the weapon, and planned to start refining this spiritual weapon immediately.
Since the five disciples had followed Liu Yan to learn the method of refining from the very beginning, they were also quite proficient in the path of refining, and when they saw the method of refining the Five Element Spiritual Fixing Ring, each of them was also very excited.
That is how the refining of this special spiritual weapon began.
After nearly two years, the Five Elements Fixed Spirit Ring finally took shape, but the day before it was to be released, the refining actually went wrong.Just as the five disciples and Liu Yan were all in the middle of the most important step of the sacrifice, that Five Element Spiritual Hold Ring actually went berserk in an instant, draining the cultivation of the five Foundation Establishment stage disciples as well as their life potential!
Liu Yan was lucky enough to escape with his extremely high cultivation, but he paid the price of lowering his cultivation by one major realm, plummeting to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
Upon hearing this, Xu Mu was also startled, not expecting that this so-called Five Elements Fixed Spirit Ring was actually so evil that the day of the device would actually still devour the master!
Seeing Xu Mu's pale face, Liu Yan smiled faintly and flipped his large hand, in which there was suddenly an additional grayish ring that looked unimpressive.
"Master, could this be the Five Elements Spiritual Fixation Ring?" Xu Mu asked curiously, completely unable to see what was so remarkable about this ring.
"That's right, Firewood Zi, since you've worshipped in my sect, you should at least have an understanding of the Way of Refining Weapons, do you know how many levels Spiritual Weapons are divided into in the world?" said Liu Yan, throwing out another question.
"Disciple does not know," Xu Mu said respectfully.
Then he heard Liu Yan slowly say, "Cultivators' treasures can be roughly divided into three levels: magic weapons, spirit weapons, and magic treasures; for those who have magic weapons, cultivators at the Qi Practice level can use them to travel thousands of miles in a day and chop mortals as if they were cutting grass.
"Spirit Weapon," a Foundation-stage cultivator can use it to defeat thousands of horses and travel unhindered across a country's territory."Those with magic treasures used by cultivators above the JieDan stage can cause rivers to capsize, mountains and rivers to crumble, and the world is free since then."
Following Liu Yan's tone, Xu Mu seemed to see the scene of himself with his feet on a flying sword, traveling to all the major scenic spots in the Mirror State, and could not help but be mesmerized for a while, and only after a long time did he come to his senses and respectfully said, "Disciple is taught!"
Liu Yan nodded and continued, "In addition to this, there is another type of treasure that has been passed down from ancient times, collectively known as Ancient Treasures, since the fall of the human realm, the refining method of Ancient Treasures has not been passed down to the world."
"Ancient treasures, the materials used are not limited, from the essence of ten thousand years, to the ordinary grass and trees, can be contained in the material, the difference is to take the heavenly way contained in the case, into the treasure."
"This kind of treasure cannot be incorporated into the body, but after more training, can still be used as an arm, the power is unpredictable, its power is completely determined by the user's cultivation, refining a weapon, available for ten thousand years."
Xu Mu listened and seemed to understand, after thinking about it, he boldly asked: "Master, does this statement mean that the use of the power of the Ancient Treasure is completely determined by the user's cultivation?"
"Liu Yan smiled and said, "What determines the power of an ancient treasure is also the time spent cultivating it, all in all, because an ancient treasure contains a hint of heavenly power, its power is generally far from being comparable to that of a magic treasure.
Xu Mu nodded at his words and said, "Isn't this just like dogfighting? When a puppy is raised for a long time and becomes a big dog, it is naturally more powerful and fiercer than a puppy and can win the fight.Hearing that Xu Mu actually took raising a dog as a metaphor for refining weapons, Liu Yan directly gave a gasp of joy, laughing and scolding, "Don't interrupt, listen well!"
