Chapter 276: The Ultimate Weapon

At this time, Xiao Mian has successfully advanced to the top level of foundation building stage.

Xiao Mian didn't know how much time he spent in the advancement process, but he conservatively estimated that it would take several days. Now that he had left the Golden City, Xiao Mian knew that what Dan Qiusheng said was true when he saw that the scholar and Leng Ningyu did not look impatient at all.

Obviously, the speed of time flow in the Golden City is indeed not comparable to the outside world.

While Xiao Mian was thinking secretly, Dan Qiusheng took the golden city emitting golden light into his palm with his backhand, and re-hidden it on the chain hanging around his neck.

"I am able to enter the Golden City this time. Thank you to Senior Shang!" Reinforcing his mind, Dan Qiusheng bowed to the scholar. Xiao Mian naturally followed his example. After all, it is not strange to give gifts to many people. The scholar was as if nothing had happened, but Leng Ningyu asked directly: "You boy, have you found any heavenly material or earthly treasure? Why don't you show it to me!"

"this……"

"What? Are you afraid that the three of us won't be able to steal your treasure?"

As he spoke, Leng Ningyu's expression turned cold unconsciously. Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard the words and had to take out the severed needle again.

Privately, he had been paying attention to the scholar's expression.

After all, with the dual identities of the scholar Nascent Soul Ancestor and the weapon refining master, it is expected that his vision is even higher than that of Dan Qiusheng. In addition, now that he is out of the Golden City, the scholar's spiritual consciousness is not restricted, and I am afraid he will soon find out. Abnormality of broken needle.

Sure enough, the next moment, when the severed needle appeared in the secret room, a flash of horror suddenly flashed across the scholar's usually calm face...

"Seven-star chain needle!?"

An exclamation burst out from the mouth of the scholar who endured it again and again.

Xiao Mian was stunned, Leng Ningyu was startled, but Dan Qiusheng, on the other hand, had regained his previous composure.

"Isn't the Seven-Star Chain Needle a legendary and unparalleled weapon that ranks among spiritual treasures? How can it be related to this cutting needle?"

While speaking, Leng Ningyu's eyes glanced back and forth between Dan Qiusheng and the scholar.

The scholar shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know the details.

Dan Qiusheng sighed softly and talked about a dusty past event.

"This object is indeed a fragment of the seven-star chain needle. The 'evil demon' used the seven-star chain needle to kill countless people, creating a powerful and powerful force that led to a joint attack by the spiritual community. In the end, he was killed by an ancestor of my Five Elements Sect. Yu Ye. The seven-star chain needle was broken into two pieces, but the weapon spirit fled away. The broken needle was left without the warmth of the weapon spirit, and gradually declined. After five thousand years, it could not withstand the erosion of time, and it declined like this. !”

Xiao Mian was dumbfounded by Dan Qiusheng's words. On the one hand, he was surprised by the huge origin of the half-cut needle in his hand, and on the other hand, he was disappointed with the embarrassing situation of the broken needle - it turned out that it was really meaningless to throw it away. It’s even worse than useless!

"You kid finally entered the Golden City once, and you picked out such a famous rag?" As if he heard something funny, Leng Ningyu, who had a straight face, suddenly smiled like a flower, and then, Leng Ningyu His smile turned into astonishment, he pointed at Xiao Mian's nose and exclaimed: "You... have you advanced?"

At this time, Leng Ningyu finally saw the changes in Xiao Mian's cultivation.

"It seems that even Brother Yu is a little jealous of you! Xiao Mian is indeed extraordinary. After visiting the Golden City, he has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation..."

But it was Dan Qiusheng who spoke to help Xiao Mian explain.

Leng Ningyu frowned, obviously not believing it, but she didn't say anything more. As for the scholar, he also frowned slightly, but didn't say a word.

It was tacitly understood, and no one mentioned this matter again.

The next day, in the Bibo Cave, Leng Ningyu stared at Xiao Mian with an ugly expression.

"Is this the talisman you drew?"

"If you don't draw well, you'll make Master laugh!"

"You're so ridiculous! I'm almost crying!"

Reaching out to hold the third-level golden needle talisman handed over by Xiao Mian, Leng Ningyu's face turned gloomy.

Seeing Xiao Mian standing below without daring to express his dignity, when he thought about it, Leng Ningyu sighed.

"I have wronged you! How many years have you been practicing Taoism? You can defeat Lu Chengzhi, who has been practicing Taoism for thirty years and is known as a genius. You must have spent a lot of time and energy on cultivation, right? ? Why can you still draw this third-level golden needle talisman? It seems that you have some talent in drawing talismans..."

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Leng Ningyu, who was always difficult to talk to, would take the initiative to excuse himself.

But of course this was a good thing, so Xiao Mian just pretended to be confused.

"The essence of the method of drawing talismans is to seal the monk's spiritual energy in the talisman paper in a relatively stable manner. There are three requirements for this, namely, completeness, stability, and smoothness. The strokes must be complete. This constitutes the spiritual energy of the talisman spell. The strokes must be smooth so that the talisman's activation process will be short and smooth." At this point, Leng Ningyu stretched out his hand towards Xiao Mian and said. : "Bring Jiucunqing and take a good look at it!"

Xiao Mian quickly took out the nine-inch green and handed it to Leng Ningyu. Leng Ningyu took the nine-inch green and looked at it carefully before calming down and starting to draw the talisman.

Last time in Lingchuanfang City, Xiao Mian had not seen Leng Ningyu draw talisman in person. Now it seems that he has discovered that there is still a lot of knowledge in the way of drawing talismans.

For example, starting the pen against the trend, retracting the pen, and other examples such as lifting, turning, weight, urgency, connection, right and wrong, square and circle, escapement...

Leng Ningyu explained while drawing the talisman, and Xiao Mian listened very carefully, as if he had returned to the years when he studied hard with his father.

After drawing the third-level ice needle talisman, Leng Ningyu did not stop and continued to teach Xiao Mian how to mix ink, how to choose paper, and how to match various talismans.

"The art of talismans is profound and cannot be taught in a day or two. What I teach you today is just how to draw talismans. As for the profound art, you have to figure it out slowly in the future."

As he said this, Leng Ningyu caressed the Nine-inch Green Pendant lovingly, and then returned it to Xiao Mian, and instructed him carefully: "This Nine-inch Green Pendant is the talisman drawing pen left by my master, your great master. It is said that it was also a top-grade spiritual pen for top-level magic tools. When it was passed down to my generation, it was somehow downgraded to a mid-level magic tool. But this thing is your great master's legacy after all, so don't lose it!"

"Yes!"

"Hey! The four of you are from the same sect. Logically, the other three are women, and it is more appropriate for them to learn the art of drawing talismans. But your eldest sister is devoted to Taoism and has no distractions; your second sister is entangled in worldly affairs, and I don't want her to be too distracted; as for Chu Qing, she said that she saw the pen, ink, paper, and other things. "The inkstone is a headache, and I don't bother to care about her!" After saying this, Leng Ningyu glared at Xiao Mian unhappily, and said: "Since you are the inheritor of the talisman painting of my Bibotan lineage, remember not to forget to draw talismans when you improve your cultivation in the future."

"Disciple, remember!"

"How long do you plan to come back this time?"

"This..., it's hard to say!"

"If you have formed a dan, come back earlier!" Seeing Xiao Mian looking at him in confusion, Leng Ningyu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Although the sect has recruited three Jindan strongmen as guest elders, and 56 foundation-building cultivators with good qualifications have joined the sect, they are casual cultivators who have changed their careers halfway through, not like you! Those foundation-building cultivators are fine, they can never make any big waves..."

"Master is afraid of the three Jindan guests..."

"Be careful!"

After interrupting Xiao Mian, Leng Ningyu looked solemn.

"Originally, I was a little against you going out to travel, but your performance this time is too dazzling. If you stay in the sect, you are afraid of being hated by others. You can prevent it for a day, but not a year. It's better to go out. Among the current direct disciples of the Five Elements Sect, only you and Ling'er have the best hope of successfully forming a golden elixir. Even Qingqiong is a little behind. As for other disciples, it will take at least several decades to cultivate them."

"Master, why don't you concentrate on meditation and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible?"

"Nascent Soul Stage? Haha... I don't expect it in this life!"

"How could it be? Didn't Master form an eighth-grade golden elixir?"

"Let's not talk about this! But you, when are you going to leave? According to what your uncle said yesterday, after the trade fair, a large number of cultivators will leave the Five Elements Sect in groups. Why don't you leave with them?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodded in response. Leng Ningyu hesitated for a while, and finally said kindly: "I know that what you are most worried about is Chu Qing. Don't worry, as long as I am alive, I will not let her be bullied! What are your plans for Qing Qiong?"

"I plan to leave Wuxing Mountain tomorrow! Thank you Master for taking care of my sister during this long journey! As for... Qing Qiong, I will talk to you when I come back!"

"..., that's fine! Although you are easy-going on the surface, I know that you are very twisted in your bones. I don't want to say much about the things between you and Qing Qiong, I just hope you can take care of yourself. You must know that when the flowers are in bloom, you must pick them, don't wait until there are no flowers to pick branches!"

"..., yes!"

"Go down!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mian knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Leng Ningyu respectfully, then stood up and walked out of the hall.

But Xiao Mian did not go back to his own courtyard directly. After a little thought, he came to the gate of Huangfu Ling's courtyard.

After a while, Huangfu Ling escorted Xiao Mian out, and Xiao Mian returned to his own courtyard.

Seeing Xiao Mian's back gradually going away, Huangfu Ling picked up the jade slip in his hand and read it carefully, then shook his head and sighed.

The jade slip recorded the cultivation method of the water and soil dual attribute separation and combination divine light that was very suitable for Fu Qingqiong to practice. However, Xiao Mian did not give it to Fu Qingqiong directly, but only asked Huangfu Ling to pass it on to Fu Qingqiong after he left.

As for Xiao Chuqing, she was naturally entrusted to Huangfu Ling to take care of.

The next morning, a piece of news spread throughout the Five Elements Sect, that is, Xiao Mian, the leader of the Sword Fighting Association, was attacked by an unknown Jindan cultivator the night before and was seriously injured.

Huangfu Ling and Fu Qingqiong stood together by the Bi Bo Pond and the top of Shuiyun Peak.

"He left after all!"

"..., Junior Sister, I advised you to say goodbye to him last night, but you didn't listen. Now that he's gone, it's just adding to the sadness. What's the point?" Huangfu Ling has always been straightforward, but she didn't know how to comfort Fu Qingqiong beside her. Instead, Fu Qingqiong smiled casually: "What's wrong with saying goodbye? Senior Sister, have you ever heard that it's hard to meet and hard to leave!"

"You..."

"No matter what, thank you, Senior Sister!"

While speaking, Fu Qingqiong tightened the jade slip in her palm, turned around and walked down Shuiyun Peak, leaving Huangfu Ling alone with a frown on her face.
