As Lou Xiaoyi began his consolidation and cultivation, he immediately discovered that cultivating in seclusion wasn't as leisurely as he'd imagined!
Cultivation techniques were the foundation, so familiarizing himself with the Jin Dan chapter of the Big Dipper Scripture was the most important! This was a process that required at least ten years of meticulous polishing!
Escape techniques and body techniques were all subsidized … Most importantly, there were also eight sword techniques, sword embryos, and materials, as well as a consensus with the sword spirits!
This was within his expectations, but there were also some unexpected things!
He would participate in the construction of Daoist Rui's Five Elements Sword Pagoda!
He was no longer the petty little Foundation Establishment cultivator who often threw tantrums. After nearly two hundred years of cultivation and successfully forming his Gold Core, his state of mind was even more mature, and he was even more of a Swordsman!
Lou Xiaoyi was very clear that this was the condition that Daoist Rui had specially created for him after knowing that he'd chosen the Five Elements Sword Technique. This wasn't just a job, it was also a rare opportunity. If he hadn't performed exceptionally well in Foundation Establishment, this kind of odd-job job wouldn't have been given to him! Countless senior martial brothers were waiting for him!
The key point was that he also needed this kind of opportunity!
As early as a hundred years ago, he'd realized that he needed to have some achievements in the Five Elements, regardless of whether he was willing or not! This was a process that every cultivator had to go through, regardless of whether they were Swordsman or magic cultivators, the Five Elements and Yin and Yang were the cornerstones of all magic! Cultivation, battle, and all kinds of special fields couldn't be separated from this cornerstone!
Cultivators could ultimately not focus on the Five Elements and Yin and Yang as their main cultivation direction, but they had to have a basic understanding. This was something that couldn't be avoided!
At that time, he'd made two flying swords with two attributes, Fire and Water Army. In the end, after several decades, if it weren't for the Water Army being struck by lightning sword spirits due to a freak combination of factors, he probably wouldn't have been able to produce anything!
He knew why this was! It was because of his lack of understanding of the Five Elements!
On the second day after receiving the notice from the Soaring Heaven Pavilion, he arrived at the Great Artifact Hall. This was the place where Xuanyuan's internal and external swords were made. Perhaps this scale was a bit pitiful in front of a Dharma vein, but in Lou Xiaoyi's eyes, it was all-inclusive.
It was his first time coming to this place, so he couldn't help but be curious and look around. Although Xuanyuan was the Sword Vein, it was still necessary to make some basic tools, such as talismans, pills, and arrays, as well as flying boats and floating rafts. This was a bit like the world of his previous world. No matter how bad the technology, as a national industry, a lot of things had to be maintained. it was the same principle.
One couldn't just stop making talismans because they weren't as good as the Three Pure Ones. They couldn't stop making pills if they weren't as good as the Supreme Purity Pills. The most basic consumption still came from their own sect's production. It was just that they were lacking a lot in terms of high quality. This was very difficult to catch up. It wasn't something that a few alchemy geniuses and talisman masters could solve. There was a deeper reason here, and it was also the foundation of an orthodox Taoist sect.
Reverend Rui's request was for the Jin Dan disciples to come and listen to him for four hours in the afternoon. This was also the time when most cultivators could spare some free time. They avoided the day and night, as well as the morning. It was the best time to practice swords after nightfall.
Reverend Rui wasn't a professional tool maker, so it was impossible for him to make tools here twenty-four hours a day. It could only be said to be an attempt on his interest. It was a way to adjust his state of mind, just like how mortals raised flowers and grass, or teased cats and dogs.
Lou Xiaoyi lacked this kind of leisure and leisure, and he also lacked this kind of hobby … This couldn't be blamed on him. He was ordered around like a dog, so how could he be free and easy?
However, after he formed his Azoth Core, this situation should change, right?
The Hall of Great Tools was very big, and it occupied a very wide area. After politely inquiring about the location of Reverend Rui's workshop, he quickly walked on the ground like the others.
On the surface, it seemed that most of the people who were hurriedly passing by were Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they were just like him, doing odd jobs. To be able to have their own workshop in the Hall of Great Tools, they were at least in the realm of Jin Dan. Most of them were Immortals or even Supremes, so it wasn't good to make a ruckus and be rude.
He came a little early. After he entered with the sword talisman, he found that the workshop was empty. Cultivators had a very precise concept of time, and punctuality was a virtue. Being late was of course extremely impolite, but there was no meaning in being early. In the mortal world, there was no such thing as' I came an hour early 'to clean up, boil water, and make tea.
The most perfect timing was to arrive before the High Master!
Because it was Lou Xiaoyi's first day here, he came a little early. In the future, he would also arrive on time. This was the concept of time in cultivation. If you came too early to show your sincerity, how would the other disciples feel?
The small details of the operation were also cultivation.
In the huge courtyard of the workshop, there was only the embryonic form of the foundation, and he couldn't see the end of it. Lou Xiaoyi didn't look around, he just found a corner and sat quietly, waiting with rapt attention.
Not long after, two Jin Dan Senior Martial Brothers entered the workshop. One was Time, the other was Guang Lan. They were both Jin Dan experts who had been immersed in the Jin Dan realm for at least a hundred years!
According to Xuanyuan Swordsman's generation, above Yan was Guang, then You was You, then Gu was Gu. In terms of age, these two Senior Martial Brothers were 100% geniuses. They formed their Azoth Core before they were fifty years old. They couldn't be compared to Lou Xiaoyi, who was almost two hundred years old and barely formed his Azoth Core!
This was the difference between cultivation-type cultivators and battle-type cultivators. In terms of the Great Dao, cultivation-type cultivators were the ones who pursued the Great Dao!
From this, it could be seen what kind of state the Hall Masters of the Gu generation were in. Their potential had been exhausted, and they could only teach, educate, and manage daily life. There was no distinction between Swordsman, but there was a faint hierarchy. Most of them worked hard for the Sword Vein's foundation, while a small portion became the blades of the Sword Vein. Each had their own division of labor!
Lou Xiaoyi had come into contact with the Gu generation before, so he was now in contact with the sharpest Swordsman of Thousand Virtues Peak. Before he formed his Azoth Core, he didn't have any interactions with this group.
They were all Jin Dan figures, so who would pay attention to their Foundation Establishment past? They didn't look up to each other for a long time, but they also didn't alienate each other. Each of them persevered on their own path, their own rhythm. This was also the reason why they were able to reach their current level. If they looked at others and compared themselves to others every day, they wouldn't be able to cultivate their Dao!
After the three of them met and introduced themselves, Lou Xiaoyi found out that these two senior martial brothers were actually the same as him, coming to this place for the first time. He continued to wait until a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
With a wave of his hand, three jade slips were tossed out, and Daoist Rui said indifferently,
"The Five Elements Sword Pagoda wasn't built by me alone, but by the four of us!
I'll outline the outline, and the four of you will fill in the gaps. I know that all of you don't care about external objects and are unfamiliar with the crafting of artifacts, but is there anything in this world that can be done innately?
You have to be familiar with it, and you have to do it yourself. My master once told me that cultivators shouldn't always treat cultivation as an empty Great Dao. In true cultivation, the ability to use one's hands is as important as the ability to use one's brain!
Hands can be divided into battles and other things, including the refinement of pills and the crafting of artifacts. Don't think that these are unrelated to battle. In the process of doing things, you will be able to comprehend many truths that you can't touch in battle.
For example, physics, nature …
The jade slips contain the structure and mechanism of the Five Elements Sword Pagoda. Study it well. Three days later, I want everyone to submit their own opinions!
Do you want to know why? Because I don't know how to make this thing! "
Lou Xiaoyi took a deep breath. This was a familiar feeling. The learning had begun!
