Chapter 245 Tai Chi Twin Swords
"Innate Spiritual Blanket? Is it related to the innate treasure I mentioned before?"

Fang Chen saw the reactions of the three people and couldn't help but become curious.

Especially the name of Xiantian Lingbi that the three people blurted out, which sounds like a very precious item no matter how you listen to it.

"There is indeed some connection. The innate spirit blank is a material that contains innate energy and can be used to refine innate magic weapons that can grow. As for the innate treasures you mentioned, they are the same as the classification of magic weapons, spirit treasures, and treasures. They belong to different grades."

Tianyu nodded and gave a brief introduction.

"Magic treasure, spiritual treasure, supreme treasure?"

To be honest, Fang Chen was also very confused about the concept of magic weapons, and he knew nothing about spiritual treasures and supreme treasures.

He read a lot of classics in the gaps between his cultivation, just as a break. The introductions to magic weapons in them were all abstract, such as how they were infinitely powerful and could move mountains and fill the sea.

Moreover, on the one hand, it is said that Purple Mansion cultivators mainly use treasures, while on the other hand, it is also said that Purple Mansion cultivators can use magic weapons.

Only when one reaches the Jindan stage do magic weapons become mainstream, and it seems that the magic weapons used by Yuanying cultivators are also magic weapons.

All the introductions made Fang Chen confused.

In comparison, it is simple and clear for Qi-cultivating monks to use magic tools, and for foundation-building monks to use spiritual tools, and there will be no confusion.

"Any questions?"

Tianyu didn't expect that Fang Chen was so vague about these simple concepts, so he turned around and asked.

"Nothing, I'm just curious about the difference between this magic weapon, spiritual treasure and supreme treasure?"

Fang Chen simply asked.

"the difference?"

Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Fang Chen’s real question.

So he opened his mouth to answer him: "The biggest difference between the three lies in the level of the core restriction. The core restriction of magic treasures is generally the fourth and fifth levels, and the core restriction of spiritual treasures is the sixth and seventh levels. Naturally, the ultimate treasure is the eighth and ninth levels."

"In other words, both Jindan cultivators and Yuanying cultivators use magic weapons? It's just that the levels of the core restrictions are different?"

After Tianyu's explanation, Fang Chen also understood something and roughly understood the classification of magic weapon grades.

"That's right. That's why, although they are all called magic weapons, their powers are actually different. The magic weapons that Purple Mansion cultivators can use are pseudo-magic weapons with only the core restriction of the fourth level, and the other restrictions are all third-level restrictions. They are much weaker than the magic weapons of Jindan cultivators, but they are much stronger than ordinary treasures with only third-level restrictions."

Tianyu nodded and explained to Fang Chen the magic weapons that the Purple Mansion cultivators could use.

"So, what is the innate magic weapon?"

Lin Qingshan, who had been listening, couldn't help but ask.

As a formation master and half-equipment refiner, Fang Chen actually knew the answer to his question, but Tianyu answered it first, so he didn't say anything. He wanted to hear if Tianyu had any different answer.

It’s a pity that Tianyu only talked about basic things and Lin Qingshan was not interested. He wanted to know more about the innate magic weapon.

"I was just about to say that if it is a naturally born innate magic weapon, then only immortals can use it. But if you can get an innate spiritual blank, no matter what your cultivation level is, you can refine it and store it in your dantian for nourishment. Restrictions equivalent to the cultivation level of the nourisher will automatically be born inside it."

At this point, Tian Yu paused, and then continued, "And the level of the restriction will increase as the cultivator's cultivation level improves, just like the spiritual roots. After all, the spiritual roots are transformed from the innate energy, and the innate spiritual embryo is the same. Moreover, the innate energy that constitutes the innate spiritual embryo is much purer and richer than the spiritual roots."

"Ah? Then wouldn't it be better to use the innate spirit to refine the Qiyun Divine Mirror directly?"

After learning about the characteristics of the innate spiritual embryo, Fang Chen's eyes instantly turned to the Divine Mirror of Fortune in his hand.

To upgrade the grade of this magic weapon, the power of faith and luck is also needed, but the innate spiritual blank can grow along with his cultivation, which is obviously more convenient.

"You can, but it's not necessary. Items that become divine positions and dragon veins don't need to be precious. The power of faith and luck will strengthen them anyway. Using the innate spirit blank is just a waste. It's better to refine the innate spirit blank into a weapon. This way, no matter what realm you break through to, you will have a certain combat effectiveness."

Tianyu shook his head and did not agree with Fang Chen's idea.

"So this thing is so precious, but why can half of the bamboo section of Taiji Lingzhu become a congenital spiritual embryo?"

Seeing that Fang Chen had almost asked enough questions, Xu Qiyun, who had been holding the innate spiritual blank, which was half of the Tai Chi spiritual bamboo, finally spoke.

"Yes, do the three seniors know the answer?"

Fang Chen also reacted. He guessed that it might be related to the fragments of Tai Chi contained in the Tai Chi Lingzhu. However, for the specific reason, he still had to ask Tianyu and the other two who knew more about the innate spiritual embryos.

"I don't know either. Innate spirit embryos are usually only born in places with extremely rich innate energy, and they also require various coincidences. Even in the former immortal world, in places with rich innate energy, at most some innate magic weapons, spiritual treasures, or supreme treasures were found. Innate spirit embryos are also extremely rare."

Tianyu was the first to answer, but he didn't know the answer.

"I think this has something to do with the Way of Tai Chi. When the Yin and Yang of the living things in the world combine, a ray of innate energy will be born. The Way of Tai Chi is the combination of Yin and Yang, so it can naturally produce innate energy, but the amount is very small."

Among all the people present, Yue Yunni was the most knowledgeable. Seeing that Tianyu could not answer, she began to explain.

"This amount shouldn't be enough to give birth to an innate spirit, right?"

Tianyu touched his chin and said he could not agree with Yue Yunni's explanation. He also thought that Taiji Lingzhu could produce some innate energy, but the amount was too small. It was unlikely to produce an innate spiritual embryo, let alone an innate magic weapon.

"Of course it's not enough, but what if Tai Chi Lingzhu takes the initiative to sacrifice half of its own Tai Chi Dao fragments?"

Yue Yunni smiled, as if she already knew Tianyu would ask this, and then asked back.

"Ah? In this case, that is indeed enough. In other words, this is the Tai Chi Bamboo repaying the favor? No, it should be the Tai Chi Dao repaying the favor."

After Yue Yunni's reminder, Tianyu reacted instantly and figured out the cause and effect.

"Repay a favor? But the birth of Taiji Lingzhu should be the work of Heaven. Even if it wants to repay a favor, it should be to Heaven. Why did it make such a big sacrifice to repay me?"

Listening to their explanation, Fang Chen himself couldn't quite understand it.

"No, the Heavenly Dao requires you to create a spiritual plant with unique characteristics. However, if the characteristics you use to construct the spiritual plant have nothing to do with the Dao of Tai Chi, then what is stripped out will not be the Dao of Tai Chi, but another Dao. For the Heavenly Dao, this makes no difference. However, for the Dao of Tai Chi itself, it means that it can have free will for a period of time."

Yue Yunni immediately answered Fang Chen's question.

"I see."

Fang Chen then nodded. He didn't expect that there were so many tricks in it.

"I say, instead of trying to figure out where this thing came from, since the innate spirit is already here, why not let him refine it immediately, which will also increase his strength."

Zhu Yueyao also interrupted the conversation at this time. She was a pragmatist and didn't care at all about how the innate spirit body came about.

Now that it is in Fang Chen's hands, of course he has to refine it immediately to avoid any more trouble.

"What Yueyao said makes sense. After Fang Chen established his foundation, he has always lacked a handy spiritual weapon. The innate spiritual blank can just make up for this deficiency."

Yue Yunni also thought that what Zhu Yueyao said made sense and agreed with her.

"Alright."

Fang Chen nodded, took the Xiantian Spiritual Blanket from Xu Qiyun, and said to him: "Then I will start refining the Xiantian Spiritual Blanket. Old Xu, you can discuss it with Old Lin later. He will explain the matter of the Spiritual Mirror to you. You two should work together to promote it to various immortal cities and replace the Sub-Jade Slip as soon as possible."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Although he didn't know what Lingjian was, since Fang Chen said he wanted to ask Lin Qingshan, Xu Qiyun didn't ask in detail, but turned to look at Lin Qingshan.

As an old partner, Lin Qingshan naturally knew what he meant and left the top floor with him.

"Have you ever thought about what kind of weapon you want to refine the innate spirit blank into?"

Tianyu did not leave, but asked Fang Chen with great interest about the plan for refining the innate spirit blank.

Fang Chen actually didn't have any ideas, but when Tianyu asked this, he suddenly thought of the Five Elements Sword Technique he had exchanged from Ling Mengqiu.

Now that I have made up my mind to improve the Five Elements Sword Technique into the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sword Technique, I naturally need a spiritual sword that matches the sword technique.

The materials for the five elements spirit swords are still being planted. As for the yin and yang spirit swords, he originally planned to use the solar spirit bamboo and the lunar spirit bamboo. Since the Tai Chi spirit bamboo gave him an innate spirit blank, it could be used to forge a pair of yin and yang spirit swords.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to Tianyu: "I want to make it into a pair of Tai Chi swords."

"Tai Chi Twin Swords? That's a good choice. In the future, I can also practice swordsmanship. The two swords can be combined to form a Tai Chi sword formation. Fighting against opponents of higher levels won't be a problem."

Tianyu also appreciated this choice very much, and then took out a jade slip.

"This is an illustration of the Yin-Yang magic weapons that I have refined. Although there are many differences between magic weapons and spiritual tools, there are also similarities. You can use it as a reference to avoid being like a headless fly and failing to unleash the potential of your innate spiritual embryo."

"Thank you, Senior Tianyu."

Fang Chen also accepted the jade slip and expressed his gratitude to Tianyu.

"Nothing. As for how to use the innate spirit, the two seniors are more professional than me, so I won't teach them how to do it."

Tianyu waved his hand and left the top floor of the bamboo building.

"So, how do we refine the innate spirit blank? Do we need to shape it and then engrave restrictions on it like a weapon refiner does?"

Since Tianyu said so, Fang Chen immediately asked Yue Yunni and Zhu Yueyao for advice.

"Of course not. Just like the Qiyun Divine Mirror's recognition of its master, first drip a drop of essence and blood, so that it can recognize its master and enter your Dantian, and then use your true essence to nourish it. During this process, imagine the function of the spiritual tool you need, and it will follow your wishes and automatically generate the most appropriate restriction."

Of course, the two of them would not hide anything from each other. They looked at each other, and it was Zhu Yueyao who answered him.

"it is good."

Knowing that it was so simple, Fang Chen sat cross-legged again and began to refine the innate spirit into the Tai Chi twin swords.

　This is the first update today, there will be another one to come.
