Chapter 26: The Secret of the Law Treasure (Part 2)

  "Seven flying swords!" Lin Qiulü's words were clearly filled with excitement, it seemed that after Qin Yifan's guidance, her mood had indeed changed greatly.

  "Oh, you like it, take it then." Qin Yifan didn't even lift an eyebrow as he directly transferred the ownership of the flying sword to Lin Qiulü.

  Holding the flying sword for a while, Lin Qiulü shook her head: "Although the grade of this flying sword is higher than mine, my own flying sword was forged by myself, and every day I temper it with aura without interruption, which has achieved its current grade and is in harmony with my mind. If I covet the high grade of this sword, I will inevitably need to re-temper it, and to reach the level where I can use the flying sword as freely as I do now, it would take at least twenty years. Twenty years, by that time, my own flying sword may have already surpassed this grade, what's the point?"

  "Could it be that cultivators have such an attitude towards these divine artifacts?" Qin Yifan couldn't help but think of the rivers of blood shed by martial artists fighting over that so-called peerless divine artifact, and he couldn't help but sigh.

  "It's not that simple, if there was a flying sword ten ranks higher than mine, I would definitely take it." Lin Qiulü didn't hide her greed at all, but thinking about what she said before, it also made some sense. There is no flying sword or treasure that can be used just by picking it up, the reason why treasures are called treasures is because they have differences with ordinary weapons or other things.

  The biggest difference is that a magic treasure can't be used immediately after being taken, at least not without a period of fusion with the user. Everyone's style is different, their usage habits are different, and their operational habits are different, so it's almost impossible to just pick one up and use it. Even the lowest level magic treasures require a period of tempering, it's just that the time required is relatively short.

  In this way, among the cultivators, very few people will participate in the frequent disputes over divine weapons and sharp instruments that occur among the martial artists. Perhaps it is because of this reason that the conflicts between cultivators are also greatly reduced. Adding to everyone's tolerance, there will definitely be many fewer disputes than in the Jianghu.

  Unless there is a magical artifact that can directly ascend to heaven, it will shake their determination. Of course, it can be imagined that those who are shaken are not the ones who have achieved great success in cultivation, but rather those who are mediocre and urgently need external forces to improve themselves.

  However, Qin Yifan immediately thought of another question: "If a beginner disciple is equipped with a high-grade magic treasure, can he avoid the hardship of starting to refine it?"

  It seems that Qin Yifan has decided to get to the bottom of things in his cultivation. Lin Qiulü's hands didn't stop moving, putting away the things Qin Yifan handed over and categorizing them neatly. At the same time, she explained to him: "Generally speaking, one's cultivation level and their ability to control magical artifacts are closely related. If someone with a first-rate cultivation level tries to control a tenth-rate artifact, it will be futile. Unless it's an artifact with its own spirit, no one can control an artifact that is more than five levels above their own cultivation level. Especially when just starting out, if you try to control high-level artifacts, it will only make your foundation unstable. Whoever gives him high-level artifacts would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow."

  So that's why, no wonder Zhang Chong Zhou Qing and the others didn't have anyone who could bring out some good stuff. It seems it wasn't that the school was reluctant to let them go, but rather they didn't want them to miss the foundational stage. However, Lin Qiulü's answers always managed to bring out some new concepts.

  "Why can a low-grade person use a spiritual device?" Qin Yifan had heard of spiritual devices several times, but he didn't ask specifically what they were, and subconsciously thought that they were just magical artifacts with their own spirits, equivalent to having thoughts and souls, nothing more.

  "The divine instruments have spirits, and they will naturally choose their masters. As long as the person is recognized by them, they can fully utilize the instrument's spirit. The Purple and Blue Double Swords of Mount Shu are two such instruments, each time passing down through generations, the swords themselves choosing their master, selecting from among their disciples when they select a sword embryo. With the help of the sword spirits, each time their successors can easily wield the double swords, so the fame of the double swords has been passed down continuously." Lin Qiulü explained indifferently, but with a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.

  "Because of this inheritance, every time the disciples of the Double Swords' inheritance resolve a crisis, they will inevitably get into trouble due to their own insufficient cultivation, leading to the Double Swords having to find new inheritors again and again. Although they claim to be unbeatable under the heavens, it is the swords that are unbeatable, not the people." Lin Qiulü seemed to be very dissatisfied with this inheritance as well, so when explaining, she would always have a suppressed tone of mockery.

  Qin Yifan nodded, not dwelling on the issue. It seemed that so-called spiritual instruments weren't necessarily good things, but he didn't know why some people would go to such great lengths to find rare and precious objects, seal their divine consciousness within them, and call them spiritual instruments.

  Yu Qing Lao Dao had collected quite a few things, and just now he had only sorted out half of them. Moreover, it was just a simple sorting, and almost all the things they talked about later were not carefully examined to see what they really were. They just roughly categorized them and put them aside. If a cultivator saw this, they would definitely be shocked. So many temptations that even cultivators couldn't resist, and yet the two of them treated a corpse with such great carelessness.

  It's okay, there aren't any rude people, and the sorting process went smoothly. In the end, Qin Yifan still curiously asked a question: "Isn't it said that your treasure flying sword can be stored in one's body? Why is your flying sword a pendant?"

  Lin Qiulü looked at Qin Yifan with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Where did you hear this rumor? You actually believe it? Please, cultivators are also human beings. Putting something like that into someone's body is no different from putting a sword inside."

  Looking at Qin Yifan's surprised and wide eyes, Lin Qiulü still had a hint of a smile in her heart: "When did you ever hear that Tieguai Li's gourd is taken out when it's used, not always carried on his back? Why does He Xiangu's lotus flower have to be held in her hand every day? Lan Caihe and Han Xiangzi's bamboo flute are also always carried with them, how can they be stored inside the body? Sun Wukong is so powerful, but the Ruyi Jingu Bang is not inferior to the Purple Gold Double Swords, it can only be shrunk and placed in his ear, right?"

  This time Qin Yifan's question really made him embarrassed, it seems that rumors are indeed unreliable.

  I'm really sorry everyone, I just finished dinner with a client and have been busy all day. The update is late, please forgive me, thank you!
