Immortality: Beginning With The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty

Chapter 7: The Theory of Law Weapons (Seeking Recommendations~)

Imperial City, Hidden Knowledge Pavilion.

Busy figures continued to come and go. Today, Lin Xuanzhi was only assigned a few tattered ancient books, which mainly contained basic methods for health and fitness.

He was not interested and kept thinking about the Daoist books he had read at night. While organizing his work, he chatted casually with Lord Liu Tongzhou behind him.

"Why does Lord look so worried today? Could it be that you were caught drinking by Madam again?" Lord Liu was a reader at the Forest Pen Academy, knowledgeable and experienced. In his hands were several bundles of clearly aged bamboo slips, but unfortunately, Lin Xuanzhi found that they only recorded ordinary content.

After all, although they, as literati, had some knowledge, most of the real things related to the Dao were directly assigned to the people in the Dao Lu Si who had cultivation.

In the past year or so, Lin Xuanzhi had only relied on the miraculous power of the Jade Wheel to pick up some leftovers.

Lord Liu shook his head and sighed, "If it were just being scolded by Madam for drinking, it would be fine."

"You Xian, you know, not long after my second son's family moved to the capital, everything was fine. But these past few days, my grandson has been crying incessantly at night, which really worries me."

Lord Liu Tongzhou was over sixty years old and had three daughters and two sons. However, when counting his grandchildren, there was only one male descendant, the youngest son of his second son's family.

Lin Xuanzhi was taken aback and apologized, "I was presumptuous."

Lord Liu Tongzhou waved his hand casually. The two of them were already familiar with each other and often made jokes. Sometimes they would even go to a restaurant together for a drink. Naturally, they wouldn't mind such trivial matters.

"Have you consulted a doctor? Why not use my grandfather's letter to invite a physician to take a look?" Lin Xuanzhi comforted.

Lin Xuanzhi came from a noble background. His father was considered a martyr, and his grandfather was a famous general in the current dynasty. With his extraordinary strength, when he first entered the Forest Pen Academy, he naturally had some people who were willing to make friends with him. However, after getting along, only Lord Liu was the most compatible with his temperament. He also gave him guidance and took care of him. After more than a year of getting along, they had developed some feelings.

Lord Liu nodded and smiled slightly but sighed, "I used my son-in-law's letter to invite Dongye Physician from the Imperial Physician Hospital, who specializes in pediatrics. After taking two sets of calming and nourishing medicines, there was some improvement, but it started again yesterday."

In the Divine Capital, there were countless high-ranking officials and nobles, and the imperial physicians were not something ordinary families could afford. Lord Liu was only a sixth-grade official. If he wanted to invite a famous pediatrician, he could only rely on intermediaries.

Lin Xuanzhi said, "If it's Dongye Physician, his medical skills are definitely not a problem. Have you asked a monk?"

"I donated three hundred taels of silver and invited a monk from the City God Temple to come to our house. He casually walked around and naturally didn't find anything." Lord Liu smiled bitterly.

Three hundred taels of silver, even in the Divine Capital, would be enough for a family of seven to eat and drink well for several years!

Lin Xuanzhi was not a doctor, so he didn't have any good suggestions. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have made some progress in my cultivation recently. How about I give you two spiritual talismans to try?"

As he spoke, he went out and took five taels of silver to ask a eunuch to go home and tell Guan Peng to bring some "evil-warding talismans," "calming talismans," and "rainfall talismans" when he came.

Imperial City was heavily guarded. If one were to bring spiritual talismans or Law Weapons without proper authorization, they would be severely punished. Even Lin Xuanzhi, as a cultivator of the Essence Nurturing stage, had to register.

All the rules and regulations were quite annoying and helpless.

Lord Liu Tongzhou looked at Lin Xuanzhi in surprise. "Your cultivation has improved again? Congratulations! In that case, this old man will gladly accept them."

The practice of cultivation was prevalent in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but not every family could afford to support cultivators. Lord Liu had worked hard from a humble background in the countryside to his current position as a sixth-grade official. Although his salary could support his family's life in the Divine Capital, it was clear that he couldn't afford to support the cultivation of his children.

Whether it was martial arts or Dao cultivation.

Because he felt sorry for his grandson, Lord Liu did not refuse Lin Xuanzhi's kind offer.

Naturally, he would not doubt Lin Xuanzhi's abilities. People like him could obtain anything more easily than others.

At the end of their shift, the two of them left the Imperial City together. When Guan Peng saw their figures, he hurriedly approached and handed over six yellow paper talismans from his pocket.

Lin Xuanzhi confidently held the talisman he had drawn himself and said, "These are two calming talismans. When you return, give one to the child to carry with them and place the other under their pillow."

"This is the Sweet Rain talisman, which has some effect in replenishing qi and nourishing essence. Before sleeping, give one to the child to dissolve in water, and use the second one tomorrow morning."

"As for this Evil Warding talisman, stick one on the bedside and one on the door. Let's see how effective it is tonight."

Lord Liu gratefully bowed and said, "I really don't know how to thank you, Yi Xian."

Lin Xuanzhi slightly bowed and said, "Lord, there's no need to rush to thank me. We should see the results first."

"I have been studying for over fifty years, and although I haven't cultivated a great aura, I can still tell whether a talisman is good or bad. These are much stronger than the ones sold at the City God Temple for one hundred taels of silver!" Lord Liu couldn't help but say.

The Imperial Tutor assists the Emperor, and the department directly under him is the Dao Lu Department, where cultivators often serve as temple priests at various City God Temples and are responsible for dealing with local evil spirits and demons.

Initially, the old master also considered having Lin Xuanzhi join the Dao Lu Department, where he might have access to superior cultivation methods. However, after careful consideration, Lin Xuanzhi gave up on that path.

Watching Lord Liu hurriedly leave, Lin Xuanzhi got on his carriage and returned to his own courtyard. As soon as he arrived, Master Shentu Hong came over with a brocade box and handed him something, saying, "Young Master Wu, this is what the old master asked me to give you."

Lin Xuanzhi's eyes brightened involuntarily. "Thank you, Master Shentu."

However, the brocade box contained only a small sky-blue delicate sachet embroidered with a crane and auspicious cloud pattern. Lin Xuanzhi knew that this was a storage sachet that every cultivator had.

The advantage of being backed by a powerful family is that as long as one's cultivation reaches a certain level, the corresponding resources will never be lacking, especially in his case, where he is highly favored.

In the study.

Lin Xuanzhi used his spiritual energy to spread into the prohibition on the storage sachet, leaving a trace of his mark, and easily opened it.

And if he truly possessed mana after Qi Gathering, manipulating Law Weapons would be even smoother and more natural.

Clatter!

The table was instantly filled with a pile of things, some of which rolled onto the floor. Among them, the most eye-catching to Lin Xuanzhi were a pearl, a sword, and a folding fan, obviously carefully selected Law Weapons by the old master.

In addition, there were about three thousand Low Grade spirit stones, five hundred Middle Grade spirit stones, fifty High Grade spirit stones, fifty various yellow talismans, ten blue talismans, several bottles of elixirs, and so on.

The Lin family has been passed down for thousands of years and owns many properties and estates, including two spirit stone veins, so they naturally won't lack the currency of low-level cultivators like spirit stones.

According to the old master, although spirit stones are used as currency, their value is not limited to that when it comes to treasures of heaven and earth at the Gold Core level and above. Even High Grade spirit stones are considered slow for Gold Core Grandmasters when it comes to restoring mana.

So although the Lin family has spirit stone veins, they are not heavily mined. The main focus is on stabilizing the veins and cultivating the spiritual herbs grown on the mountains.

Lin Xuanzhi temporarily put away the spirit stones, talismans, and elixirs, and eagerly examined the three Law Weapons. With the introduction given by the old master, it was easy for him to understand their respective uses.

The Lin family's Law Weapons are either refined by generations of ancestors, bestowed by the Emperor, obtained through trade, or seized as spoils of war.

Therefore, although he was not clear about the state treasury, Lin Xuanzhi knew that the family was not lacking in Law Weapons, and even Spirit Weapons.

In the Crimson Bright Vast Lands, the main method of refining Law Weapons is through the use of terrestrial and celestial forbidden techniques, layer by layer, nurturing the spirituality, and striving to advance to Law Treasures. In addition, there are many other methods, but it is undoubtedly more difficult to advance to Law Treasures.

Although Lin Xuanzhi's strength is weak, he is not a novice in cultivation. According to the records in the family's classics, cultivators usually start refining Law Weapons after reaching the Qi Gathering stage and gaining mana. Law Weapons are fundamentally based on terrestrial forbidden techniques, with nine layers of prohibitions representing the heavens. Each layer of prohibition is composed of numerous mysterious runes and seals.

Even if only one layer of prohibition is complete, it can still be considered a Law Weapon.

When all seventy-two layers, a total of eight layers of terrestrial and celestial forbidden techniques, are completely refined, the Law Weapon can be considered to have reached a perfect level. After that, if the eight layers of terrestrial and celestial forbidden techniques can transform into one layer of celestial forbidden techniques, the Law Weapon can be successfully promoted to a Spirit Weapon.
