Chapter 457 Black Water Lineage

"It is made up of four fragments. If it is a trap set by bandits or demons, then the efficiency of fishing is too low. It is better to release hundreds of complete maps directly. There will always be fish caught if you cast a wide net."

"I can only know what the situation is. With the Purple Mansion Puppet exploring the way, I don't need to take risks."

"But this matter can't be rushed. Let's calm down for a while and recuperate first."

After counting the spoils, Chen Qingyun decomposed the magic tools, magic treasures, and storage bags of Sun Zhijian and the others. Only the Xuanyin Black Water Formation was left.

This is a set of formation tools and magic treasures. The biggest difference from the formation is that it is a niche magic tool formed by combining the formation and magic tools.

For example, the inverted five elements formation used by Chen Qingyun in the early years is also a formation flag magic tool. If it reaches the magic weapon level, it is called a formation flag magic weapon.

To make such a magic weapon, not only do you need to have the attainments of refining, but you also need to understand some formations.

Often, only cultivators who practice both formations and refining can create treasures.

This set of formation flag magic weapons has reached the top level. The Xuanyin Black Water condensed in it can restrain fire-attributed cultivators to a certain extent, which is quite useful.

"Xuanyin Black Water, could this person have some relationship with the Black Water lineage?"

After figuring out the purpose of the Xuanyin Black Water Array, Chen Qingyun frowned secretly and couldn't help but think of a cultivation family that was rarely mentioned.

Treasures that can be related to Black Water, whether they are magic weapons, formations, or talismans, are not simple.

There are many geniuses in the starry sea, and there are many talented people with different talents. They emerge like mushrooms after rain, creating a prosperous era in this cultivation world where a hundred flowers bloom, various skills and secrets are dazzling, and there are endless emergences.

Among these techniques, the more famous ones, in addition to the inherited techniques of the Xingzong, "Huangji Tianxingshu" and "Zaohuaxinggong", there are more than a dozen exclusive techniques that are famous in the inner and outer star seas.

Among them are the various techniques and secrets of the Black Water lineage.

The Black Water lineage is similar to Tianqin Island. They all started from a spiritual island and have extremely easy-to-identify characteristics. The cultivators on the island basically practice the water-attributed technique "Black Water Fire and Fire Art".

This technique is known as the best technique to overcome fire.

Whether it is a fire-attributed technique, secret technique, magical power, or the great power of the fire attribute of heaven and earth, it can be restrained in one fell swoop, and its power is quite amazing.

Even the spiritual fire of heaven and earth is dwarfed by the "Black Water Fire and Fire Art" and cannot compete.

It can be said that being the nemesis of all fire-attributed cultivators shows how strong and unique this Black Water lineage is, and how smart the person who invented this fire-overcoming technique is.

But things will turn into the opposite when they reach their extremes. The martial arts in the world have their powerful side, but they are also bound to have shortcomings and deficiencies.

This "Black Water Fire and Fire Art" has a major shortcoming that is fatal, that is, the fire-controlling magical power in this martial art can only be used five times in a cultivator's lifetime.

Every time it is used, one-fifth of the life span of the performer will be consumed, regardless of the level of cultivation, whether it is the Qi Refining Stage, the Foundation Building Stage, or the Purple Mansion Stage.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivator is no exception, and one-fifth of the life span must be cut off before it can be used once.

According to the life span of a Qi Refining cultivator of 100 years, the cost of using it once is to cut off 20 years of life span.

How many cultivators are willing to accept this price alone?

20 years, how many 20 years do Qi Refining cultivators have?

If it is used once in the forties, the Tao body will be damaged, and the Tao body's Qi and blood will be weak. Perhaps there is no hope of building a foundation, and the rest of the life will be wasted in the Qi Refining Stage.

How many years can be wasted in such a race against time as cultivating immortals? The slower you are than others, the easier it is to widen the gap.

Not to mention the Purple Mansion cultivators, who have a lifespan of 500 years, and one exercise will directly cut off 100 years. The loss of 100 years is really too great.

So this also led to the increasing scarcity of cultivators in the Black Water lineage. At the beginning, they occupied the spiritual island Black Water Island to develop and create a family of immortal cultivators.

But as time went by, the Black Water lineage was involved in various disputes over interests, causing the family population to decline rapidly.

In the last 100 years, the family was almost about to cut off the bloodline inheritance and self-destruct.

Behind the powerful Black Water lineage, it has always been unable to get rid of the assistance of the "Black Water Fire and Fire Art", resulting in fewer and fewer descendants, and almost fading out of the world stage.

This is also the helplessness of the Black Water lineage.

Success is due to Xiao He, and failure is also due to Xiao He.

If you want to avoid extinction, you can only reduce the number of people who practice this art, or even restrain yourself and not get involved.

Those who have already practiced and cannot turn back should try to use it as little as possible unless it is absolutely necessary.

Such a good skill is powerful, but you have to be alive to use it.

Decades of life can be cut off at will, how many opportunities are there to pursue the Golden Elixir Road and go further on the road to immortality?

When Chen Qingyun saw this set of Xuanyin Black Water Formation, his heart tightened subconsciously.

Once this thing is used, it will also reduce life. It must not be touched, just decompose it directly.

What a powerful magic weapon, if it is used on the basis of consuming life, in Chen Qingyun's view, it is shit.

Fortunately, Chen Qingyun soon found that he was worrying too much.

This Xuanyin Black Water looks a bit related to the Black Water lineage, but it is not the real Black Water. It is a magic weapon invented by imitating Black Water. It not only consumes a lot of mana, but also has only one thousandth of the power of Black Water.

But as long as it is used properly, it is a trump card to deal with fire-attributed cultivators of the same realm.

After some tinkering, the maximum deployment area of ​​the formation can reach 5,000 meters, which consumes a lot of mana for the cultivators.

According to Chen Qingyun's current mana maintenance, without the help of the Qinglian Yangshen Platform, he can only operate this Xuanyin Black Water Formation for an hour at most, and can trap and kill up to three Purple Mansion peak cultivators.

Once there are more than three, the formation can be easily cracked.

In fact, when Chen Qingyun was fighting against Sun Zhijian and Wu Zhenqiang, he could completely use the puppet advantage to forcibly crack the Xuanyin Black Water Formation.

But this formation is not a big threat to Chen Qingyun.

Now, the appearance of the Xuanyin Black Water Formation has given Chen Qingyun more means to fight against the enemy.

Leaving some magic tools behind, Chen Qingyun will decompose all the more than 400 magic tools he acquired, 31 magic tools of Sun and Wu, and 5 magic treasures.

First, the palm bottle was strengthened to the level of the best magic weapon, and the power increased by 20%.

Then he strengthened the Xuanyin Black Water Formation and upgraded it to a top-grade magic weapon. The range of the formation was expanded to 10,000 meters, and the power was increased by 20%.

After counting the spoils, Chen Qingyun decided to improve his strength and started making five-element puppets to increase his foundation.

In the storage bag, there were four bodies of second-level Sky Wind Beasts. Chen Qingyun calculated and prepared to refine a magic weapon similar to a flying puppet.

This time, the refining was mainly to refine the second-level lower-grade Wind Spirit Wings. Both refinings were successfully completed and two Wind Spirit Wings were obtained.

Other bones, fur, feathers, etc., Chen Qingyun added some refining materials and refined two flying boat magic weapons.

Because the appearance of these two flying boats resembled feathers, they were named Flying Feather Boats.

With magic weapons as fusion materials, they were all strengthened to the second-level top-grade.

After some tinkering, Chen Qingyun made two foundation-building peak puppets, each of which was fused with a Wind Spirit Wing and a Flying Feather Boat.

After consuming 200 reinforcement points, two new puppets were fused one after another.
