Chapter 543: Level Weapon Master
Chapter 543: Tenth Level Weapon Control Scroll
Strengthen your body externally and your spirit internally.
When martial arts practice reaches the state of Three Elements Integration, one has truly transcended the scope of "human".
A warrior who has mastered blood transfusion can, if he is willing to pay a certain price, twist his muscles and bones, and use the body shape he has cultivated to transform into a spiritual beast or even a spiritual bird.
Before Li Yuan, he had also tried to transform himself into a baby elephant, but he only had its shape.
But the grandmaster was different. At least the eight kinds of top-grade spirit beasts transformed by the Taoist Tiancan had both form and spirit. No matter how he looked at them, he could not find the slightest flaw. They seemed real.
"If this old Taoist priest leaves offspring in the form of an animal, then wouldn't it be a sin for the extinct spiritual animal... a sin."
As soon as Li Yuan's mind wandered, he felt a chill. This kind of thing was probably something that no grandmaster would want to try, at least he had never seen any record of it in any book.
"wrong!"
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of the Dragon Demon Taoist.
This person had done similar research in his handwriting, and even dissected a grandmaster in the Unity Realm. He eventually came to the conclusion that the spirit beasts transformed by warriors in the Unity Realm were exactly the same as the real ones.
He didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thought about it, he noticed something was wrong.
This old demon is not afraid of the Grandmaster of dissection, so there may be similar experiments...
"This……"
Li Yuan was startled, and dismissed the idea in his mind, and picked up the jar to study it:
"Transforming into a spirit beast and bleeding seems to consume a huge amount of energy. This is because I have strong vitality. If it were any other great master, they might not be able to bleed eight kinds of blood in one breath."
"I still don't understand the Grand Master well enough."
These are eight different kinds of blood, with different colors, smells and even viscosities. If he hadn't let the blood out with his own hands, he wouldn't have dared to believe that this was blood from the same person.
"I hope the Grandmaster won't be too picky about food..."
Muttering to himself, Li Yuan returned to his residence.
He now also lives in the back mountain of Longmen, but not opposite the small temple. However, it is only seven or eight miles away. The environment is quiet and the place is large. Because it is close to the cliff, it is foggy all day long.
A squeaking sound was heard in the yard. After the little mouse returned to the Dragon and Tiger Temple, the first thing he did was to summon his "old subordinates", which were a dozen fat rats, to take back his lost throne as the Rat King.
Ignoring the little mouse who was scolding his "subordinates", Li Yuan took the jar and went somewhere else.
This courtyard was where Long Xixiang lived in his early years. It covers an area of more than ten acres. There are bamboo forests and rockery, vegetable fields and mountain springs in the courtyard, as well as dozens of houses and front and back gates.
As soon as Li Yuan put down the jar, someone came to report.
"Brother Niu, this is the essence of a hundred gold coins that Master asked me to personally deliver to you."
At the back door, Xin Wenhua had been waiting for a long time. He bowed and greeted the man. He was also looking at the yellow-faced man "Niu Gui" in front of him curiously. He was really a little surprised.
He knew how much his master valued the essence of a hundred gold coins. When Junior Brother Li forged the Pure Yang Dragon-Tiger Sword for him, he only got one or two ounces of it.
For Niu Gui, he paid fifteen taels of silver, which was all the remaining money he had.
"Thank you, Brother Xin, for seeing me off. Thank you, Sect Master Nie."
Li Yuan bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and solemnly took over the piece of essence worth a hundred gold coins. This was something he had only obtained after he had been persuading Taoist Nie for so many days and had asked him to make another piece of top-grade divine armor for him.
Including what he got from Xinyi Sect and Qinglong Pavilion, the last material needed to advance the Weapon Control Scroll to the tenth level, 'Fifty taels of the Essence of a Hundred Golds', was also gathered.
"This hundred-gold essence is not easy to come by, Brother Niu, remember to use it sparingly. Master doesn't even have one or two left."
Xin Wenhua reluctantly let go of her hand and felt a pang in her heart.
The wealth accumulated by his Xin family for twenty generations is far less than half of this fifteen hundred taels of gold. This is still an exaggeration. In fact, this thing is completely priceless.
"Thank you, Brother Xin, for your advice."
Li Yuan found it quite difficult to take over the essence of a hundred gold coins.
If it weren't for the great kindness he showed to the two Taoist ancestors, Tiancan Taoist and Laitou Zen Master, and if it weren't for his promise to bring them into the Bafang Temple later, it would have been difficult to gather all the materials for the promotion of the Military Control Scroll to the tenth level even in another fifty years.
There is no other reason, this essence worth a hundred gold coins is too rare.
The gold mines in all the provinces of Dayun combined may not even produce two taels of gold a year, and this is all Dao Zong's accumulation over the years.
"Xin takes his leave."
Xin Wenhua did not stop, for he was afraid that he would regret it. It would have been fine if he had given such a large sum of money, worth a hundred gold coins, to Junior Brother Li, but he actually gave it to an outsider.
"Senior Brother Xin has also started the blood transfusion. However, he doesn't ask for speed, but stability. That's right, stability is better."
Li Yuan watched him go away. During the six months since he went down the mountain, many things happened in Longhu Temple.
Mainly the hall masters and deputy hall masters are trying to enter the Tao. Some are happy and some are sad. Half of them are still in retreat, and among the half who have come out, only three have successfully entered the Tao. Although the remaining few have the Dragon and Tiger Health Pill, their qi and blood are weak, making it difficult for them to enter the Tao.
"Enter the Dao."
Li Yuan muttered to himself.
The transformation of talent affects all aspects, and the most immediate one is naturally the speed of practice.
From the time he completed the blood transfusion to the time he was ready to enter the Dao, Dou Yue had been preparing for more than ten years. However, it took him two months to complete the blood transfusion, and he was almost ready.
"Once you have achieved the military command, you can start practicing Taoism."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, closed the door and returned to the backyard.
In the backyard lobby, the doors and windows were closed.
"Twelve thousand jin of gold, nine thousand one hundred liang of pure gold, two thousand two hundred liang of pure gold, and fifty liang of pure gold."
Li Yuan was counting the materials needed to advance his Military Control Scroll to the tenth level.
This is a huge sum of money even for an aristocratic family or sect. Without the support of the sect's power, it would be almost impossible for an individual to amass such a huge fortune.
After throwing the little female dragon into the military talisman, Li Yuan took out the essence of a hundred gold coins. After a quick calculation, he found that the number was correct. Then he lit the spiritual incense one by one and held the elixir in his mouth.
After you are fully prepared, sit cross-legged with your hands outstretched:
"Promotion!" Buzz~
The moment the gold materials disappeared, the experienced Li Yuan's body trembled, and his soul instantly left his body, followed by a loud noise that seemed to be able to tear the soul apart.
Boom!
A loud bang exploded from nowhere.
Li Yuan felt that his perception was violently destroyed in an instant, and the severe pain made his spirit twisted.
"Why is this loud noise getting louder and louder?!"
Li Yuan secretly groaned in his heart, feeling like a dead leaf blown by a strong wind, which could be overturned at any time.
This loud noise lasted throughout the process of receiving the talisman and being promoted, but at first, he remembered that the sound was not so violent...
boom!
The loud noise echoed in his heart, longer than any previous time. In a trance, Li Yuan seemed to recognize something.
This loud noise, like the roar of an indescribable being?
"Ok?"
With a change of mind, Li Yuan, relying on the blessing of the nine bone ornaments, concentrated his mind in the pain and sensed the loud noise.
hum~
It seems like a moment, yet it seems extremely long.
Li Yuan seemed to see the vast and boundless deep space of the universe, and saw the "stars" lighting up one after another...
"puff!"
The loud noise disappeared, Li Yuan came back to his senses and looked down, only to see blood gushing out of all seven orifices of his body, which looked horrifying.
"Om~"
Li Yuan returned to his physical body. He endured the severe pain, swallowed the pill, and moved his true energy. It took him a long while to recover.
"What is that deep space?"
Li Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his eye, and his mind kept recalling the stunning glimpse he saw.
In the boundless deep space, the stars light up in the darkness...
"It's a bit like a ghost town?"
Li Yuan recalled the Tianshiyuan that he had glimpsed from the Netherworld that day, but he felt that something was not right. He frowned and pondered, but since he had only seen it once, he could only make random guesses.
After a moment, he stopped thinking and then he sensed the Weapon Control Scroll.
[Tenth-rank Military Master: Li Yuan]
[Number of weapons you can control: 10]
[Already opened: Divine Fire Weapon Furnace (Level 10), Divine Fire Weapon Forging Platform (Level 10), Long Corridor (Already opened)]
Promotion successful.
Li Yuan concentrated his mind and entered the military control space, looking around on the stone platform that had expanded exponentially and looked like a huge square.
The Military Control Scroll was hanging like a galaxy, with ten stars twinkling, but it could not illuminate the deep darkness around it.
"That deep space is more like the abyss outside the stone platform. Could those stars be the weapon-controlling scrolls?"
Li Yuan was having all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, and was also feeling the message after his promotion to the Military Commander talisman.
There is no qualitative change between the tenth level and the ninth level. On the empty stone platform, there are only the weapon combining furnace, the forging platform, and the secluded corridor that is always on the edge.
There is no difference between a weapon combining furnace and a weapon forging platform.
Li Yuan sensed it slightly and walked to the edge of the stone platform. After the Weapon Control Talisman was promoted to the tenth level, the only thing that changed was the corridor.
"The long corridor."
He tried to touch the corridor and sensed fragmentary information.
Li Yuan concentrated on analyzing it for a long time before he heard the two words "Yuan Huo" from it. His heart moved slightly, and he attracted a ball of incense and tried to bring the incense closer to the corridor.
From the lowest level to the sixth level, the corridor showed no reaction until Li Yuan frowned and attracted a wisp of seventh-level incense, then a faint light burst out from the arched door of the corridor.
Like a hungry beast with its mouth wide open, it swallowed the incense in one gulp.
hum~
Li Yuan took a few steps back and saw various words emerging on the edge of the arch. The words were extremely strange and were unlike anything he had ever seen.
But after just a quick glance, he could actually understand the meaning of the text.
【Tongyou Long Corridor】
[Number of walks possible: 1]
[Level of strange land that can be entered: First Heaven]
"This……"
Li Yuan was a little horrified.
This line of text contained a lot of information, and it was not forced upon him, but was directly instilled into him in a way that he could not understand at the time, so that he could fully comprehend the meaning.
The Tongyou Corridor, as the name suggests, leads to a secluded place.
By paying the "Primordial Fire", one can travel through the dark realm, but where one will go is completely unknown, and it is most likely a "strange place".
As for the First Heaven...
"The strange land actually has high and low grades?"
Li Yuan digested the information about the long corridor, and his heart relaxed. Before, he was a little worried that some strange thing would come in from the other end of the corridor.
"But, is this first level of heaven high or low? How high is it, and how low is it?"
