The gate of the old site park is very magnificent, it is completely the kind of gate of the ancient cultivation sect that I saw on the Internet nine days ago, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the thick wooden pillars, and intricate strange patterns carved on them. And the gate as a whole is very high, ten meters high, like a portal to accommodate the passage of giants.

"This gate is built by experts according to the estimated records, imitating the gate of Xia Yuzong, but it is said that the pillar on the left side of the gate is one of the pillars on the gate of Xia Yuzong back then, but no one knows if it is true, this has always been a mystery in the hearts of people in Jiujian Prefecture. Chen Yunyang pointed to the door and introduced the two.

However, Jiutian soon found that it seemed that this gate was not only magnificent to look at, but also not simple. There were many tourists who couldn't help but cover their faces and exclaim again and again the moment he entered.

Jiutian was about to ask again, but the little girl impatiently pushed him forward.

"I always ask what it means, and the store manager has to feel it for yourself. ”

What is the good feeling of a gate? With this doubt, Jiutian walked forward for a distance, and then raised his foot and crossed the gate.

The moment he crossed the gate, he felt as if he had penetrated a membrane-like thing, and a gust of wind blew, and there was a sudden slight tingling sensation on his cheeks, as if he had been scratched by some sharp weapon.

He exclaimed, covering his face like the other tourists who had crossed in with him.

"Hee-hee. Chen Yunyang watched the excitement from the side.

Zheng Weiqi also looked indifferent.

Jiutian hurriedly took out his phone to see if he had broken his face, he wanted to know what was attacking his face!

Haven't you heard of a wise saying?

Hit someone without slapping in the face!

However, his face was undamaged, it was still intact, and his skin was delicate, as if it had been peeled off...... Ahem...... It's not that good.

At this time, Chen Yunyang explained that the formation was artificially added to this gate, which can simulate the feeling of being scratched by a sword, which is the so-called sword wind. But in fact, it does not cause any damage to human skin at all, which is one of the characteristics of the old park. However, this circle is only open at the annual Sword Wood Conference, and it is usually closed.

Walking into the park, it is even more lively and full of people.

Jiutian found that there were various shops on both sides of the road, and each store was full of customers.

Most of these shops are souvenir shops, and there are a variety of gifts around the park. What amulets, talisman jade, Xia Yu Zong's ancient cultivation costumes, and so on.

However, what really attracted Jiutian was the few shops with quaint decorations, and the names on them were all XX Sword Wood Lingzhi Stores without exception.

Just when Jiutian was about to find a place to go over, Chen Yunyang grabbed him and said: "Don't go to this kind of sword and wood shop at the gate, it's all a lie, the sword and wood in it are all ordinary goods, but the price is very expensive, and it is generally used to pit foreign tourists." ”

Nine days of sweating, sure enough, many tourist attractions or similar excursions will have this kind of stealing customers.

However, if you want to see the sword wood, you don't have to go to this kind of shop, the little girl said that if you go some distance further, there will be a sword wood forest.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

The three of them moved forward with the crowd, in fact, the sword wood forest was the only way, and they walked about a few hundred meters along the main road, and suddenly turned a corner, and a sword pool appeared in front of everyone. It was a bluestone-enclosed pool with some kind of royal blue and transparent liquid inside.

In the cyan liquid, there were hundreds of sharp swords floating in it, most of them were cyan in appearance, occasionally silver or gold.

Half of these swords are exposed to the water, and the rest of the blade and hilt are submerged in the water, and through the clear water, you can see that the hilt has roots extending out and floating in the water.

The shape of these swords is indistinguishable from that of a real sword, with sharp edges and a glittering cold light that looks spectacular. However, the length varies, the short one is like a dagger, and the long one is as tall as a person.

According to Chen Yunyang's explanation, the judging criteria for good sword wood should be reviewed from the aspects of length, sharpness, hardness, and appearance. There are complete grading standards for sword wood: Cheng Sword, Sharp Sword, Spirit Sword, Treasure Sword, and Emperor Sword.

This set of criteria for evaluating sword wood comes from Xia Yuzong of that year, not later, after some modifications, it is still used today as the quality division of sword wood.

It's just that the written things are not easy to understand, Chen Yunyang took the two of them to squeeze into the front position, and then pointed out to them.

"Those cyan ones are generally swords, representing the lowest level in the entire sword wood hierarchy, and they are also the most ordinary, and they are not sharp. According to ancient records, this kind of sword is generally used by apprentices who are just starting to practice their hands, and it is not precious and easy to obtain. ”

"And further up, those sword woods with a silver or gold appearance and a metallic sheen are called sharp swords. The sharpness of this level of sword wood has reached a certain level, although it cannot be said to be as sharp as clay, but it can be regarded as a relatively handy weapon. Generally, it is assigned to senior apprentices who have been in the field for two or three years to make weapons. That's right, the sharp sword has already reached the standard of a weapon, and it can kill people. ”

Jiutian nodded, he didn't know much about this characteristic spirit plant, but fortunately, Chen Yunyang explained it very clearly, and he also quoted ancient books.

"What about the Spirit Sword or better yet?"

Chen Yunyang shook his head and said: "Although the cultivation method of sword wood and the original place of discovery are all Xia Yuzong, but after the Great Chaos period, there are too many lost materials, and the current artificially cultivated sword wood is only at the level of sharp sword at most, and the higher-level sword wood cannot be artificially cultivated at all." ”

Jiutian was immediately disappointed, as a spirit plant perfectionist, he really wanted to see if it was a spirit sword...... No...... What kind of brilliance will the Emperor Sword be, to be called the Emperor, it must be the absolute overlord of a certain field, unmatched!

But soon, he realized that Chen Yunyang had something to say, what the little girl said was that at most, sharp swords could be cultivated artificially, and higher-level sword wood could not be artificially cultivated.

Isn't that artificial? Is there a wild top-quality sword wood?

Don't think that artificial cultivation is always optimal, the wonders of nature are beyond human comprehension in a lifetime. Some spirit plants, even if they have reached the theoretically optimal growth environment, are not necessarily in better condition than wild ones. This is a problem that many spiritual planters face, and there is no escaping it. Therefore, Jiutian felt that as a spiritual planter, he should always be full of reverence for nature.
