Generally speaking, if a martial artist wanted a sword to recognize him as its master, he would need to gain the recognition of the sword spirit.
The Sword Spirit was also a special life form with spiritual intelligence. Just like humans, it had all kinds of different preferences.
They had all sorts of conditions for choosing a master, but most of them were harsh. Some would choose a master who was most compatible with their attributes, some would choose someone with profound attainments in the Sword Dao, and some would test the martial artist's temperament and talent.
In short, to gain the recognition of a famed sword, apart from one's own strength, it often required a large amount of luck.
As for the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword, it was the number one famed sword in the Sword Maste. The conditions for choosing a master would definitely be even harsher.
According to what Lin Xuan knew, among the top ten famed swords in the Sword Maste, only two or three had a true master. But this did not include the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword.
In other words, Qiu Wuju did not gain the recognition of the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword and could not be considered the sword's true master.
He might have used some special means to temporarily control the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword.
"I wonder if I, Lin Xuan, am qualified to be your master?"
Lin Xuan looked at the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword with a burning gaze. He tried to force out a drop of golden blood essence onto the sword.
Hum!
The Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword shook slightly and actually bounced that drop of blood essence away.
"Eh! It's really unique! "
Lin Xuan withdrew the blood essence and could not help but be slightly amused.
He was not a sword cultivator to begin with. The possibility of gaining the recognition of a famed Sword Maste sword was extremely small, so he was not too disappointed.
However, he would definitely not give up just like that.
The next moment, he took out a dark red spirit talisman from his ring.
This spirit talisman was called the Chaos Spirit Talisman. He had specially exchanged for it from the Kunlun Temple and prepared it specifically to subdue the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword. It cost him a total of 1,300 contribution points.
The Chaos Spirit Talisman was a fifth-grade spirit talisman. It was a spirit talisman that targeted the soul. It could confuse the target's mind and make the target do anything for a certain period of time. Even a Transcendent powerhouse might not be able to escape.
A strange Soul Dao aura emanated from the Chaos Talisman and gradually filled the entire space.
Perhaps it was because it felt the deterrence of the talisman, the Seven Deadly Shao Feng Sword actually started to tremble slightly. It seemed like it wanted to struggle and escape, but because it was suppressed by the talisman, it was unable to absorb the vitality around it and was unable to resist at all.
The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and he immediately wanted to use the Chaos Spirit Talisman.
But at this time, a cold and furious female voice suddenly came from the Seven Kills Shao Feng Sword, "Don't you feel ashamed to use such a despicable method to deal with me?"
"Huh? So you can talk? "Lin Xuan smiled playfully.
"Hmph, is that strange? Even Xuan-ranked treasures can develop intelligence. As a top-grade dao weapon, how difficult is it for me to communicate with you humans? "The Sword Spirit said coldly.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Since we can communicate, that's great. A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. I'm lacking a weapon, and I think you're quite suitable. If you're willing to acknowledge me as your master, I'll definitely treat you well in the future. If there's a chance, I'll do my best to help you upgrade to a divine artifact. What do you think? "
The Sword Spirit said disdainfully, "Hmph! Nothing! I think you're not worthy to be my master! "
"Hmm? Why am I not worthy? "
Lin Xuan stroked the long sword lightly and said with a playful smile, "I, Lin Xuan, am one of the few martial prodigies in the world. I possess a unique heaven-defying martial fortune, and my future is limitless. If even I'm not worthy to be your master, who is?"
The Sword Spirit said proudly, "My name is Seven Kills Shao Feng. The meaning of my existence is to kill all the disloyal, unfilial, heartless, unrighteous, unwise, brave, and untrustworthy people in the world!
And your character has no loyalty, benevolence, or trustworthiness. People like you deserve to be killed the most. Acknowledging you as my master will be my greatest shame! "
"F * ck …"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He was actually despised by a lousy sword!
He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but grin. "Aren't your words a little biased? How am I not loyal, benevolent, and trustworthy? "
The Sword Spirit said coldly, "Hmph, you may be able to deceive others, but you can't deceive me! The murderous aura on you is complicated, condensed with the hatred of countless vengeful spirits. Some of those vengeful spirits who died in your hands hate you for being disloyal, some hate you for being heartless, some hate you for being unjust, and some hate you for being untrustworthy. Who can you deceive?
Even without these, just based on the fact that you actually wanted to use despicable means to deal with me earlier, it's enough to show that you're heartless and unjust! People like you should be destroyed in body and soul, and completely disappear from the world! "
"Damn you! I shouldn't have talked nonsense with you! "
Lin Xuan shook his head and sneered. He couldn't help but be angered!
Although he had killed countless people, he thought that he could still be considered a good person. He didn't expect that he would be criticized so badly by a Sword Spirit today. It was simply intolerable.
In his anger, Lin Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Sword Spirit. He simply planned to force himself on the Sword Spirit and use the Chaos Talisman to deal with it.
But just as he was about to make a move, the Sword Spirit suddenly screamed, "Stop!"
"What's wrong with you now? If you have something to say, say it quickly. After saying it, you can sleep. In the future, you'll be my sword. "Lin Xuan sneered mockingly.
The Sword Spirit seemed to be very afraid of the Chaos Talisman in Lin Xuan's hand. It shouted fiercely, "If you use despicable means to deal with me, I, I'll self-explode, and you won't get anything!"
"Self-explode? Haha, why don't you explode for me to see! I've lived for dozens of years, and I've seen chaste women, but I've never seen a chaste sword. Today, I'll take it as an eye-opener. "Lin Xuan sneered disdainfully.
The Sword Spirit scolded angrily, "You despicable bastard! If you were a Sword Maste disciple, you would have been executed by the sect's rules! "
"Haha, I've disappointed you. I won't go to that lousy Sword Maste place even if you beg me! Alright, if you don't explode, I'm going to make a move. "Lin Xuan said with a smile.
The Sword Spirit was very anxious and hurriedly said, "Wait, I still have something to say! I can recognize you as my master, but you have to promise me two conditions. Otherwise, I'd rather self-destruct than help the evildoer! "
Lin Xuan couldn't help but grin when he heard this.
He had long felt that the Sword Spirit's moral integrity wasn't very noble. Most of its bad habits were caused by being spoiled by the Sword Maste disciples.
After all, it was a sword of the Dao of Killing, and it didn't have a strong sense of righteousness. What was there to talk about loyalty and benevolence? Wasn't that a joke?
However, he didn't push it too hard and said, "Tell me what conditions you have. If they aren't too excessive, I might consider it. But if I can't do it, you'd better self-destruct."
The Sword Spirit was very angry, but a sword under the eaves had no choice but to lower its head. It was silent for a moment and said, "My conditions are very simple. First, I have my own principles. If I'm not heartless, unrighteous, unloyal, unfilial, unwise, brave, and untrustworthy, I won't kill!
Second, I want to be your natal Taoist weapon. If you have the conditions in the future, you have to do your best to help me advance! "
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed. The two conditions of the Sword Spirit weren't too harsh. He reckoned that it was just trying to find a way out for itself.
In terms of the first condition, the Seven Kills actually covered ninety percent of the people in this world.
Especially in this world where martial arts were respected, people who were loyal, filial, benevolent, righteous, wise, brave, and trustworthy were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. If they really had all these qualities, it wouldn't matter if they were spared.
As for the second condition, it was even more to his liking.
His original natal Divine Weapon, the Saint Xuan Heavy Mace, was still a top-grade Xuan Weapon and was no longer of great use. The Seven Kills Well Wind Sword didn't have any attributes, so it was suitable to be refined as a natal Divine Weapon.
"Okay! I agree! "Lin Xuan said.
"Then you have to keep your word! No, you don't keep your word. You have to swear! "the Sword Spirit said.
Lin Xuan smiled, then raised his left hand and swore, "I, Lin Xuan, swear to the heavens that if I become the master of the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword, I will only use this sword to kill those who are unloyal, filial, unrighteous, unwise, brave, and untrustworthy. If I violate this oath, may the heavens and earth destroy me!"
Not to mention the effectiveness of this oath, there were loopholes in it. If he encountered an enemy who was loyal, filial, benevolent, wise, brave, and trustworthy, it wasn't impossible to kill them. He just didn't need to use the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword.
The Seven Kills Well Wind Sword's Sword Spirit didn't harp on this too much and accepted his fate.
Next, Lin Xuan activated the blood refinement technique, sacrificed his natal blood essence, and engraved a blood pattern array. As the blood patterns merged into the sword, his connection with the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword gradually became closer and closer.
Six hours later, Lin Xuan finally completed the blood refinement and also successfully recognized the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword as its master.
He removed the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword's seal talisman, grasped the sword hilt, and poured endless power into the long sword. The long sword shook with a loud bang, and a terrifying killing intent spread out in all directions, causing the entire cultivation room space to sway slightly.
"Good! Excellent! "
Lin Xuan felt the terrifying power enhancement of the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword and couldn't help being overjoyed.
The Seven Kills Well Wind Sword was worthy of being a top-grade Dao sword that focused on killing. Just in terms of attack enhancement, it was much more powerful than the supreme-grade Dao weapon, Dragon-Sealing Pagoda.
Of course, the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda's various uses were more balanced, while the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword's use was more singular. It was really hard to compare the value of the two.
Once the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword recognized a master, it could be directly absorbed into the body, extremely convenient to carry around. This point also made Lin Xuan very happy.
With a thought, the long sword immediately disappeared from his hand.
The next instant, the Seven Kills Well Wind Sword appeared in his Natal Palace, sitting quietly in the center of the Natal Palace, swallowing essence energy and tempering itself.
…
In the Dragon-Sealing Pagoda's ninth level's great hall.
"Dao Lord, our people just discovered last night that there was another person in contact with the imperial Dao Slaves. It's just that this subordinate has yet to find out that person's identity. But according to this subordinate's guess, their contact last night is very likely related to Dao Lord's return, "Wu Huan reported.
Lin Xuan's Imperial Dao clone raised his brows and said in a solemn voice, "Letting these guys jump around under our noses all day is ultimately a problem. It's better to resolve it as soon as possible!"
Wu Huan's eyes lit up. "Dao Lord, are we going to capture them directly?"
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "At present, it's still unclear just how many people they have in hiding. I'm afraid it's very difficult to catch them all in one go. En, might as well lure the snake out of its hole!"
"Lure the snake out of its hole?" Wu Huan was stunned.
