Chapter 25: Flying Sword

Back in the courtyard, Mo Xiu began to draw things at every corner like last time.

"Mo Xiu, are you planning to set up a killing formation again?" Mo Ruyi couldn't help but wonder.

"The killing array already exists, and it's still running, but you couldn't see it." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.

"It's not a killing array?" Mo Ruyi was very curious.

"Spirit Gathering Array." Mo Xiu said, glancing at Mo Ruyi, "In these three days, you will have to upgrade your cultivation to the 9th level of the Foundation Realm, so that you could meet the challenges of those people."

"Ah!" Mo Ruyi exclaimed, "My current cultivation base is only on the 1st level of the Foundation Realm, how could it be raised to the 9th level in three days?"

"Nothing is impossible." Mo Xiu looked calm, "If you hadn't practiced the Great Vast Lunar Formula, I would even let you break through to the 9th level of the Core Formation Realm within three days."

"..."

Mo Ruyi still felt a little weird, but at this point, she believed in Mo Xiu's methods.

Since Mo Xiu said yes, it must be yes.

The Spirit Gathering Array was naturally very different from the Killing Array.

The Killing Array was used to kill people, and the Spirit Gathering Array was used to gather Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth here in Sun Martial City was very thin. There were only three ways to quickly improve the cultivation base. The first was to practice at the same time as Mo Xiu, the second was to take the pill to increase the power, and the third was to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array.

When Mo Xiu was practicing Universe's Origin Heavenly Art, the entire Spiritual Energy of Sun Martial City would be gathered together. At that time, as long as Mo Ruyi also sat down and practiced, her cultivation level would definitely increase rapidly.

However, Mo Xiu hadn't polished his foundation yet and was not planning to practice Universe's Origin Heavenly Art for the time being, so this method was not applicable.

Taking a pill that increased True Essence Power could indeed make people quickly improve their cultivation, but this kind of pill was not necessarily a good thing.

There was a certain truth to the saying that "every medicine has its side effect". Taking too much pill would cause erysipelas, which was very troublesome to deal with in the future.

There were many people who relied on pills to quickly improve their cultivation, but that was because they didn't understand the terrible erysipelas. Mo Xiu, as a past person, would not let Mo Ruyi use the pill to improve her cultivation.

Arranging the Spirit Gathering Array, the effect was similar to Mo Xiu's cultivation of Universe's Origin Heavenly Art. And it could also gather the nearby heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy, and there would be no side effects, which was just right for Mo Ruyi's cultivation.

It took about a stick of incense for Mo Xiu to finally finished arranging the Spirit Gathering Array.

When the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, the Spiritual Energy of Mo's mansion and even the entire Sun Martial City was gathered.

The incomparable Spiritual Energy filled the yard, reminding Mo Ruyi of the night a few days ago, so she couldn't help asking, "Once before, the Spiritual Energy in our yard suddenly became very rich, was it your doings?"

"Yeah." Mo Xiu nodded gently.

Although they were all his doings, they were different in detail.

When he was practicing Universe's Origin Heavenly Art, the Spiritual Energy was also gathered, but it was only centered on him. There was no limited range, it was just that the closer to him, the stronger the Spiritual Energy, and the farther away from him, the thinner the Spiritual Energy.

Because of this, in other places in Mo's mansion at that time, not only did the Spiritual Energy not become thinner, but it was also stronger than usual.

The principle of the Spirit Gathering Array was to gather all nearby Spiritual Energy into the array, as long as it was not in the Spirit Gathering Array, even other places in the Mo Family's mansion would not be spared.

Therefore, this time, the Spiritual Energy in other places in Mo's mansion not only failed to become more concentrated but became thinner like other places in Sun Martial City.

The cultivators in Sun Martial City naturally felt the changes in the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth immediately, but because the same thing had happened once, they were calmer this time.

It was just that there were still a lot of related speculations, and there were still people who insisted that the great change of heaven and earth was coming, and even took the example of Mo Xiu refining a furnace of twelve Storm Pills, thinking that it was because of the imminent change of heaven and earth happened when twelve pills were refined.

In comparison, the cultivators of the Mo Family had experienced this kind of thing for the first time, so they couldn't be so calm.

However, no one thought about Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi. After all, the Spiritual Energy could not be seen by the naked eye. It could only be felt by the body, and the yard where Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi lived was applied with the Killing Array, other people couldn't enter at all, naturally, they couldn't feel the richness of the Spiritual Energy in that courtyard.

They even thought that the Spiritual Energy in that courtyard had become thinner than usual, so they were a little excited secretly. They felt that even if Mo Ruyi's strength could be improved to a certain extent, the extent of improvement would be very limited.

In this way, they were more likely to win the position of Patriarch by defeating Mo Ruyi.

Therefore, everyone was gearing up, looking forward to the battle for the position of Patriarch in three days.

...

After Mo Ruyi went back to her room to cultivate, Mo Xiu was not idle either.

Ning Rujian, Liu Wuxian, and Jiang Hao each gave him something to make amends. Among them, the thousand-year Blood Ginseng and the Moon White Profound Iron Essence were still on his side.

In the beginning, he said that he would refine the pill and sword before giving it to Mo Ruyi.

The pill refining was relatively simple. Although some auxiliary spiritual plants were needed in addition to the thousand-year Blood Ginseng, he had already prepared it. Therefore, it only took less than half an hour to refine Blood Qi Pills.

The main function of the Blood Qi Pill was to increase Qi and blood and improve strength. Because the thousand-year Blood Ginseng was special, this pill had almost no side effects and not much erysipelas.

Even so, Mo Xiu didn't need this kind of thing.

It was still a batch of twelve supreme-grade Blood Qi Pills, and he was going to hand it over to Mo Ruyi after Mo Ruyi's seclusion was over.

The rest is Moon White Profound Iron Essence, which was relatively difficult to handle.

Mo Xiu had decided to refine it into a sword, but the sword also had specific divisions.

There were many choices in terms of length, thickness, shape, structure, etc., and the user could also be divided into combat and auxiliary.

Swords that were partial to combat were definitely more powerful, but swords that were partial to support also had their own advantages, and it did not mean that swords that were partial to support could not be used for combat, but their power was slightly weaker.

After thinking about it, Mo Xiu decided to refine a flying sword.

The flying sword was a kind of auxiliary sword. With the corresponding sword art, the user not only could fly with the sword but also kill the enemy thousands of miles away.

Of course, if you want the sword to kill an enemy thousands of miles away, first of all, the rank of the flying sword must be high enough, and second, the sword's user must have very powerful cultivation.

Cultivation methods, medicines, and magic arrays all had corresponding ranks, and weapons were no exception. They could be roughly divided into: Spiritual Weapon, Magic Weapon, Artifact...

What rank weapons could be refined depended on the materials on the one hand, and the level of refining on the other.

Mo Xiu's previous life's level of refinement was actually not as good as that of alchemy, but no matter how bad he was, he was much better than the average refiner.

Now being reincarnated and reborn, without the powerful cultivation base of the previous life, even if he obtained the heaven-defying materials, he could not refine the heaven-defying weapons in a short time.

However, Moon White Profound Iron Essence was not a heaven-defying material. It was precious to most people, but it was not enough for Mo Xiu, so it was not a problem to refine a flying sword.

It was also because the Moon White Profound Iron Essence was not so precious that Mo Xiu could only refine it into a Magic Weapon at best.

Of course, Mo Xiu didn't like the Magic Weapon Level flying sword, but for Mo Ruyi, it should be enough in a short time.

After roughly conceiving the appearance of the flying sword, Mo Xiu manifested out flames and began to refine the flying sword.

The Moon White Profound Iron Essence was white like a moon, and the refined flying sword was naturally moon white, but the hilt was refined with other materials, so it appeared black.

Because this sword was for Mo Ruyi, Mo Xiu made a thin sword. The sword was three feet long and less than two inches wide. It could only be said to be a standard size.

The thin sword pursued speed. It was not good at strength. It was relatively lighter. However, what kind of power it could exert depended on personal strength after all.

After finishing the refining, Mo Xiu put away the flames and looked carefully at the flying sword.

After a while, he displayed his sword technique. His whole body stepped on the flying sword, the sword rose into the sky and disappeared above Mo's mansion.

As the flying sword slid around Sun Martial City, Mo Xiu had a deeper understanding of the surrounding terrain.

Generally speaking, Azure Province was relatively flat, but there were also many mountains.

There was a mountain to the south of Sun Martial City. The specific name of the mountain was unknown, but the mountain was enveloped in a gray mist, which looked a little strange.

Mo Xiu's sword leaned closer, and his powerful Divine Consciousness extended out, penetrated the gray fog, and entered the mountain. After careful investigation, he was surprised soon.

This turned out to be a Ghost Mountain.

Ghost Mountain, as its name implied, was a mountain where the ghosts gathered. Only the mountain that had many people died on it and had not received light all year round that it had the possibility to become a Ghost Mountain. But it was only a possibility. Not all mountains that met the conditions could become a Ghost Mountain.

There were human or horse corpses everywhere on the mountain, so Mo Xiu suspected that there had been a war in this mountain, and it was probably a one-sided massacre, otherwise, there would not be so many ghosts.

When most people saw the ghost, they would naturally avoid it, and there was no living person on this mountain.

But Mo Xiu wasn't afraid of these ghosts, it would be better to say that he currently had a ghostly idea in his mind.

There were so many ghosts, he could refine a few Shadow Demon Guards, and he could refine a large number of Demon Puppets, consequently, this place was not an exaggeration to him.

It took a lot of time to refine the Shadow Demon Guards or the Demon Puppets. After three days, the members of the Mo Family would challenge Mo Ruyi as the head of the house. At that time, Mo Xiu would be required to host it. So he could only wait until the matter was over.

Having said that, Mo Xiu did not leave immediately. Instead, he carved a magic array somewhere in the mountain and took concealment measures before he left with the flying sword.

After returning to the Mo Family's mansion, Mo Xiu carved a similar array in the courtyard where he lived.

The two magic arrays were together, combined to form a short-distance Teleportation Array, so that when the time came, he didn't need to fly over with the sword, he could just use the Teleportation Array to go there directly, which could save a lot of effort.
