Chapter 433: Sword Spirituality
Refining the natal magic weapon is an extremely difficult task.
For Jindan cultivators, refining magic weapons is not an easy task, and refining the natal magic weapon is naturally even more difficult. Those who succeed in refining are all born with talent or have great opportunities.
Moreover, refining magic weapons is different from refining magic tools. It requires higher spiritual power and consciousness. If you are not careful, your cultivation will be greatly damaged, or your sea of consciousness will be exhausted, and you will never recover!
The price of failure is extremely heavy. How many people dare to take risks with their cultivation and life?
Cultivators below Jindan cannot refine magic weapons, which is also the reason.
What Lin Mu has to do now is not to refine magic weapons, but to refine the natal magic weapon that is several times or even dozens of times more powerful than magic weapons!
The difficulty can be imagined, and the danger can also be expected.
Once he fails, with Lin Mu's current cultivation and realm, the damage to himself will be much greater than that of a Jindan cultivator, and the danger is at least ten times that of a Jindan cultivator refining his own life magic weapon!
There are only a few Jindan cultivators who can successfully refine their own life magic weapons.
But Lin Mu is determined to refine his own life magic weapon!
He has his own plans for the future, and it is impossible for him to ruin his future destiny just because he has offended a force for no reason now!
Strengthening strength is of course a top priority and imminent.
But now he is unwilling to condense the golden elixir. He is not a short-sighted person. Now he has the opportunity to continuously strengthen himself. Compared with other top cultivators, his qualifications and resources are not as good as others. Now his only advantage is that he can wait, endure, and slowly polish his foundation.
Once he has honed his foundation to a deep enough level, he will condense the golden elixir at that time. He has the confidence to slaughter the golden elixir at will!
Now, as long as he can successfully sacrifice his natal magic weapon, with his sword attainments and the sharpness of his natal magic weapon, he may be able to gain a slight advantage in a battle with ordinary late Jindan cultivators!
Lingjin Sword was given by Sikong Pan. It is said to be worth tens of millions of spiritual stones. The previous owner was already a master of Condensation!
This natal magic weapon is powerful and extremely sharp!
Of course, the risk of sacrifice is like an abyss, unfathomable.
But Lin Mu is not afraid of these. He has seen all kinds of storms and waves. He has struggled between life and death many times. Even if he lost his cultivation, he has also experienced it. No matter how bad the situation is, how bad can it be?
At worst, he can start over again!
And once the sacrifice is successful, it will be fundamentally different from now!
If he encounters an ordinary late Jindan master, he has the hope of killing him alone. If he cooperates with Xuanyue Pei, or has the assistance of Qingniu Tianshui Qinglao, it is not difficult to kill a late Jindan!
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he still goes to the tiger mountains.
No matter how big the risk is, he will give it a try.
Lin Mu immediately slapped his storage bag, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his hand.
The golden flying sword was sharp and murderous.
The Lingjin Sword lived up to its reputation.
Looking at the sharp Lingjin Sword in his hand, a trace of confusion flashed across Lin Mu's face.
Lin Mu knew nothing about refining magic weapons, and he was even more confused about refining his own magic weapon. With a sharp spirit, he made such a decision, but when he really held the Lingjin Sword in his hand, he knew that there was still an insurmountable gap between ideals and reality!
Fortunately, Lin Mu remembered the "General Principles of Refining Equipment" handed down by Tianzhu Zhenren. He clearly remembered that there was a record of how to refine the life magic weapon in the "General Principles of Refining Equipment".
With a thought, Lin Mu immediately took out the "General Outline of Refining Weapons" from the storage bag and began to study.
After a while, Lin Mu put down the jade slip and thought about it.
Until he finished reading the jade slip, he had a clearer understanding of refining the natal magic weapon, and he also knew more clearly how difficult it was and how difficult it was to achieve!
According to Tian Zhu Zhenren, there is no essential difference between refining the natal magic weapon and refining the magic weapon. It is nothing more than requiring higher spiritual power and consciousness, and testing the comprehensive strength of the cultivator.
Refining magic weapons is different from refining magic tools. Refining magic tools is nothing more than the cultivator leaving his own consciousness mark in the magic tool, and then controlling the magic tool through this wisp of consciousness mark. But magic tools are different. Magic tools are more spiritual, and the cultivator's consciousness and magic tools must be more compatible. It is even necessary to integrate a small part of consciousness into the magic tool. Once the magic tool is successfully refined, the cultivator can control the magic tool like controlling his own body!
The sword turns at will, and the mind moves with the heart. This realm is what is described in the "General Principles of Refining Equipment".
The spirituality of the natal magic weapon is higher, and the difficulty of sacrifice and refinement is greater. It requires more fusion of the cultivator's spiritual consciousness. Once the sacrifice and refinement fail, all the spiritual consciousness fused into the natal magic weapon will be lost and cannot be restored!
But if the sacrifice and refinement are successful, the power of the natal magic weapon is far more powerful than the magic weapon. Because of its spirituality, it even has the ability to automatically protect the master when the cultivator is practicing, in case the cultivator encounters an accident. In addition, because of the different spirituality, the natal magic weapon can also attack the enemy spontaneously to a certain extent, without the need for the cultivator to deliberately control it.
Some extremely powerful natal magic weapons do not need the owner to control them. They can automatically absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and perform sword skills on their own, and even use sword skills in succession and integrate sword skills!
This made Lin Mu dumbfounded and astonished. If he had such a magic weapon, he could just watch leisurely from the side when fighting with others, without having to do it himself. Even if he encountered a powerful enemy, he could let the flying sword fight for a while, and after consuming the enemy's strength, he would go up and strike a fatal blow!
The world is really full of wonders.
After studying the "General Principles of Refining Equipment", Lin Mu had a clearer understanding of refining the Lingjin Sword.
But he knew more clearly that with his current strength, he couldn't even do the first step of refining!
The first and most critical step of refining a magic weapon or a life magic weapon is to transform it into a spirit!
The biggest difference between a magic weapon and a magic tool is that the magic weapon can enter and exit the cultivator's body at will. When encountering danger, the cultivator's mind moves, and the magic weapon can immediately appear outside. On weekdays, cultivators can also take their life magic weapons into their bodies, and use their own spiritual power and consciousness to constantly nourish the magic weapons and enhance the power of the magic weapons.
The power of magic tools is destined by nature and cannot be improved after sacrifice.
At the beginning, the power of magic tools may be almost the same as that of top-grade magic tools, or even slightly inferior to some extremely powerful top-grade magic tools. However, as the Jindan stage cultivators continue to nurture them in their bodies, the power of magic tools will gradually become stronger until they completely surpass the top-grade magic tools!
Lin Muxuan's golden sword was shattered by Qiu Feng's life-definition magic weapon flying sword because of this.
If you want magic tools to enter and exit the body at will, the most important thing is to transform them into spirits!
That is to transform the magic tools into a wisp of spiritual energy, which can enter and exit the body at will with the cultivator's thoughts.
This is extremely simple and ordinary. But it is extremely difficult to do it.
Magic tools are all made of some rare refining materials. They can split mountains and rocks and are extremely strong. It is not easy to transform them into a soft gas like spiritual energy. Moreover, magic tools themselves have spirituality, and cultivators will encounter resistance from this spirituality when they are refining them.
The power of a magic weapon is not even weaker than the cultivator himself, and the spirituality is naturally extremely powerful.
The life magic weapon is far more powerful than the magic weapon, and the spirituality is even more powerful. It is extremely difficult to sacrifice it.
According to the idea of Tianzhu Zhenren, if a cultivator wants to sacrifice his life magic weapon, he must at least have the strength of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and also have a great opportunity!
This is the bottom line!
If the cultivation is lower, there is no possibility of success in the sacrifice, and it will only lose the cultivation and spiritual consciousness in vain, and there is no hope of success!
Lin Mu's physique and spiritual consciousness have barely reached the minimum requirements mentioned by Tianzhu Zhenren, but his own spiritual power, both in quantity and quality, is far behind!
And the reason why he wants to sacrifice his life magic weapon now is to rely on it to enhance his strength and delay the time of condensing the golden elixir.
After some twists and turns, Lin Mu found that he was back to the original place.
But this is not a desperate situation.
Tianzhu Zhenren is also a genius, and proposed a gentle way to sacrifice the life magic weapon.
The person who can refine the Five Elements Ring is not an ordinary person. You know, the Five Elements Ring can be upgraded from the lowest grade magic weapon all the way, and there is hope that it can become a magic weapon!
Lin Mu has now upgraded the Five Elements Ring to the level of a top grade magic weapon, and the Five Elements Ring itself also has a trace of weak spirituality. Now he has used the Seeding Sword Technique to plant it in his body. Once he successfully condenses the golden elixir, the Five Elements Ring can be directly promoted to the natal magic weapon!
Gentle sacrifice of the natal magic weapon requires the cultivator to constantly communicate with the natal magic weapon with his spiritual consciousness on weekdays, and the two are familiar with each other until they finally reach a point of mutual acceptance and harmony, and then they can start to sacrifice!
In this way, when the cultivator is refining, he will avoid the spiritual resistance of the natal magic weapon himself. He only needs to follow the formula and use his own spiritual power to transform the natal magic weapon into a gas like spiritual energy. Relatively speaking, it is more than twice as simple!
Of course, this gentle refining process is much longer and takes longer than the general refining.
Lin Mu is quite fond of this gentle refining method. He asked himself, with his current strength, forcibly refining the Lingjin Sword will only be a thankless task, and gentle refining will give him a better chance of success!
Moreover, he can practice "Star Refining Spirit Art" and "Medicine Refining Body Art" while refining gently, slowly improving his spiritual awareness and physical strength.
Refining the natal magic weapon and accumulating strength and foundation, mutually benefit each other and go hand in hand!
In the following period of time, except for occasionally entering the Xuanyue Space to take care of the third-grade spiritual medicine, Lin Mu spent the rest of his time indulging in cultivation and communicating with Lingjin Sword.
Whether practicing or resting, Lin Mu always carries Lingjin Sword with him. He completely treats Lingjin Sword as a good friend. Under his sincere communication, tireless and repeated testing, Lingjin Sword's reaction is completely different from the initial strong resistance, and gradually begins to accept him.
The spirituality in the Lingjin Sword is like a life, far more powerful than the spirituality in Qiu Feng's life-definition magic weapon-level flying sword.
After more than a year of communication and exchange between Lin Mu and Lingjin Sword, he deeply felt that Lingjin Sword has life!
Over the past year, Lin Mu's spiritual awareness has also greatly improved, and his physique is also gradually getting stronger. Everything is developing in a good direction.
The spirituality of the Lingjin Sword is already very close to Lin Mu. Lin Mu believes that as long as he can successfully sacrifice the Lingjin Sword, under his slow nurturing, the spirituality in the Lingjin Sword is very likely to turn into a spirit body and become a different kind of life!
Even, it will have its own emotions and joys and sorrows!
Now, Lin Mu's consciousness can enter the Lingjin Sword at will and communicate with the spirituality, as if they were close friends.
The most difficult step of spiritualization has been cleverly solved by him!
