☆, 0605_ decent

These petals are certainly not real water lily petals. Although this spiritual plant grows in water and looks like a water lily, it is actually a fire attribute and is called a fireball lily. The origin of the name is that when the wild fireball lotus encounters danger, the petals will automatically fall off, and then turn into small fireballs to attack enemies.

However, the fireball lotus of the Yunxia Sect has been domesticated, and if you pick the petals directly, the petals will not burn on their own, and they will only attack when the root system is seriously damaged. Compared to the wild ones, which have to shoot a few fireballs even when the wind blows, it is really dull and not like the same creature.

Using ice spiritual power to refine these petals with ice flame stones is also decent.

The function of the ritual instrument is also decent.

Each flower can spread out into petals, with a thin layer of ice emerging from the petals, making the petals a sharp blade to attack and defend, and the petals can also burn into fireballs that can also be wrapped around the user's body for defense, or shot out to attack.

The original petals of the fireball lotus burned into ashes, but the petals in the magic weapon only floated on the surface of the petals, and essentially burned the user's spiritual power, so as long as no one destroys the petals themselves, it will not burn on its own. After use, the petals that have not been destroyed can be recombined into lotus flowers.

Each lotus flower has the same function, and can be used alone, three or four in combination, three plus one, four plus one, three plus three, three plus four, etc. But no matter how it is combined, it increases the power of attack and defense, and it is convenient to arrange the layout of part of the attack and part of the defense.

In fact, if you design it well, you can make each lotus flower have a different function, and then each combination also has a different effect. But that would be too troublesome, and a professional cultivator might take pleasure in that kind of fine design, but a creature like Sword Cultivator who wants to do everything with a single sword is absolutely impossible to carefully set the variability of the magic weapon.

Although I'm not a competent sword cultivator, I definitely support the point of view of sword cultivation because it's troublesome.

☆、0606_ Unnecessary trouble

After refining, I threw the lotus magic weapon aside and used the refining room as a cultivation room to meditate. Elder Guanghe came, and after taking a look at my refining results, he took me to the Hunting Peak without commenting on anything.

I'm too lazy to guess what this mission is about, maybe it's just a random pile of things that can't be hit to fool me.

When he arrived at the Hunting Peak, Elder Guanghe said, "Only use the set of magic weapons you have just refined, and keep going inside, except for fighting, meditating and pranayama, and healing injuries, you are not allowed to stop." Keep going inside until I come back. ”

I reminded: "I am a sword cultivator. "Your family's sword cultivation doesn't use a sword in battle, but uses a new magic weapon that has not been tested in actual combat?

Elder Guanghe: "I don't explain. You just do it. ”

Ever since he was beaten to the point that he was not cute and cheap, he has been serious and concise. Although it was impossible to put words out in the first place, now it seems that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

Maybe I should apologize to him, let him think that he is not disliked by the young beauty, and then maybe he will talk about it in his excitement?—— tsk, I might as well continue to be at a loss.

I sincerely suggested, "Actually, if you just give instructions like this, you don't have to go through it yourself, and I'll be fine." ”

Elder Guanghe: "Don't try to beat around the bush. When I fought wits and courage with my disciples and even came out, your father was not even born. ”

Me: "......" is a self-defeating tone that I don't dare to answer.

After Elder Guanghe left, I looked at the lotus magic weapon that I had just refined, except for its appearance, it was not very good anywhere and thought: If I had said that I had to fight with this thing, I would not have practiced it perfunctorily, at least I would have refined a spare sword, not such a fancy thing. It's not that it can't be used, but it's really not easy to use.

Therefore, there should still be an overall plan for doing tasks, how can we take one step at a time? Unnecessary troubles have been caused.

Although the elders may have given me this task to correct my habit of relying too much on information, I am now more determined to think that I should get enough information before I do the task - but when I can't get enough information, I should be calm, improvised, and not panic.

Oh, that's what the elders want me to do—they obviously don't appreciate my older sibling's heroic way of doing things.

☆、0607_No pressure

Elder Guanghe did not set a time this time, 'keep going inside until he comes again' This is a kind of psychological pressure.

The tasker may slow down because he is worried that he is too fast and will go deep into the places he can't cope with before the elder comes, but he is afraid that the elder will be angry because he is too slow to move forward, so he does not dare to go too slow. Being so entangled and constantly adjusting one's progress can easily cause psychological fatigue, so that it has already begun to fall into danger where its own strength can deal with it.

But in fact, this kind of psychological tactic is meaningless in the sect, because there is a big premise: it is impossible for an elder to watch a disciple die.

So, no matter how fast I rushed and how much I didn't care about the tail, it was a serious injury.

...... It's still a bit weak to think about, and it's painful to be seriously injured.

However, speaking of which, I really haven't been seriously injured, the kind of injury that takes ten days and half a month of medicine to get off the ground while lying in bed, in fact, I'm a little curious. Although it will be very painful, it is common for the cultivation realm to be injured, and sooner or later I will have to experience it, so take advantage of this time to worry about my life, why don't you try?

- Sometimes I think I might really have a bit of an M-tendency.

Thinking about it like this, I don't have any psychological burden, and I hold the lotus magic weapon and go to the depths of the hunting peak.

The artifacts in the cultivation realm basically have their own scaling function starting from the Dharma weapon, which is nothing more than the difference in how much they scale. This is a space distortion caused by spiritual power, mainly for the convenience of carrying and use. Some sneak attack magic weapons will be specially set up in this regard.

The lotus ritual I made with my own hands...... No, this feature.

- It's just an errand.

However, although each lotus flower cannot be scaled, the whole set is okay, because when the standard is placed, there are many gaps between the eleven lotus flowers, and the eleven flowers can be directly stacked together, the largest at the bottom, and the smallest at the top. It's still a bit high, but you can walk around with it.

Of course, the best way to do this is to put it in storage – that's what I thought was the idea of simply omitting the zoom function because it wouldn't be useful to me.

Furball also heard Elder Guanghe's words, and rarely stayed awake, lying on my shoulder and flicking his tail from moment to time, ready to protect me at any time. However, I'm not sure if fighting with spirit beasts is a violation of the requirement of 'only using the magic weapon you just refined', so I asked the furball not to interfere when my life is not in danger.

Furball Mimi screamed and nodded, but remained ready to enter the battle at any time.

Well...... Actually, I'm not that weak, I can definitely handle it within half a day of walking so straight, and I won't be injured, so you can sleep for another half a day.

☆、0608_ walked safely

The outermost spirit beast of the Hunting Peak will not only not fight when I approach, but will take the initiative to avoid it - spirit beasts are more sensitive to the gap in cultivation than humans, and spirit beasts in the Qi cultivation period will never attack a monk who is one level higher than themselves unless they are cornered or crazy.

So I just walked the previous part of the road, and I almost wanted to use the lotus magic weapon to fly me over this road, but considering that there are still many ring tasks after that, and I don't know how many days this hunting mission with restrictions will last, I feel that I am not in a hurry at all, so I will walk on my legs, and it is better to keep the magic weapon in full condition for fighting. The magic weapon I have refined in this half-hung is not like my sword, and it can't withstand all kinds of destruction.

Safely walked through the outer layer of the Qi cultivation period, and when I came to the inner layer of the foundation building period, there was a spirit beast spirit plant that began to attack me.

As the internal training ground of the Yunxia Sect, the spirit beasts here are planted in the behavior of the disciples of the Yunxia Sect who have been beating or collecting for many years, and have developed a conditioned reflex: if someone comes, they will strike first.

Full of aggression and vigilance.

There are very few pictures of people living in harmony with nature - that kind of picture should be found in the planting peak or the beast control peak.

I've mentally adjusted along the way, and when the attack hits, I immediately threw out the lotus instead of drawing the sword. It's just that even though I have made full psychological preparations, when I used spiritual power to command the attack and defense of Lotus, I still felt that my hands were empty, and in the end I simply pinched the tail of the hairball.

The furball moved uncomfortably, and after a while it pulled its tail out and pinched it for me instead, only then its whole body slid off my shoulder and back into my arms—a comfortable sleeping position.

However, the furball is a cat owner with a sense of responsibility, and the human who said that he would cover it would definitely not go to sleep alone, so although he changed his comfortable position, his eyes were still wide open, ready to pounce at any time.

☆、0609_Consideration

The petals of the fireball lotus are consumables on the fireball lotus, and the fireball lotus as a whole is only a spiritual plant in the early stage of foundation building, so with the fireball lotus petals as the main material, so that the magic weapon that I refined is only equivalent to the cultivation of the qi training period, when facing the spirit beast in the early stage of foundation building, although I always use the spiritual power in the later stage of foundation building to assist, but there will still be petal loss if I am not careful.

After the fireball lotus petals are burned, new petals will soon grow on the fireball lotus spirit plant's body to make up for it, but the lotus magic weapon does not have this ability to repair out of thin air, so it has to take some excess fireball lotus petals and put them near it, and then it can repair itself without much loss.

If I continue to fight like this, before I am seriously injured, maybe the lotus magic weapon will have to be completely destroyed first, and when the time comes, if I can't use the artifact, I can only fight with pure spiritual power? It sounds good to say that there can be a level of qi training period, but you must know that some qi training periods can't even be beaten by mortals, and facing the spirit beasts in the foundation building period is completely hanging.

Can I really hold out without a sword at that time? I don't think it's likely. After so many years of training, I still practiced some reflexes for using swords in battle. Now that the battle situation is easy, I can control my reflexes rationally, and when I have a hard time coping, I will definitely have to take care of restraint, so I will definitely violate the mission requirements.

Okay, if you violate it, you will violate it, how about this hidden and tucked broken task, and I don't lack those few task records.

When I think about it, I don't spare the petals, and when they blow up to kill the enemy more efficiently, I just blow them up, and I don't want to keep them intact.

However, because there are a lot of fireball lotuses in that pond, a lot of petals are picked, so the lotus magic vessels made are very thick, and two-thirds of them can still show a relatively natural lotus form, and it will not affect the function of the set of eleven flowers.

I estimated that I would probably be able to survive until the late stage of foundation building, and then I would be able to experience serious injuries.

"Mi?" the furball tilted his head to look at me.

...... It's okay if I'm seriously injured, but the hairball will never leave me alone, so if I get seriously injured, it means that the hairball will be seriously injured. This is not going to work, I still have to think about how I can make better use of this clumsy lotus magic weapon to prolong the safe time for me to go deep into the Hunting Peak.
