The old patriarch Zhou Minghan, a third-level high-grade weapon refiner, personally refined the second-level high-grade magic weapon, so there was no possibility of failure.
Monks in the foundation-building stage can already convert mana into foundation-building true fire. Although the temperature of this true fire is worse than that of earth fire, it is much higher than the white flame formed by burning [Yangyang Wood].
What's even more rare is that true fire is transformed by the magic power of monks. It can be gathered and dispersed by the heart and is extremely easy to control. This is completely incomparable to the flames of earth fire, sky fire and other spiritual objects.
In order to let Zhou Yang watch carefully, the old patriarch deliberately slowed down the speed when he was refining the weapon, and was distracted at some key points to use his spiritual consciousness to explain to him. This is a treatment that only a direct disciple can have.
.
Obviously, in the eyes of the current old patriarch, Zhou Yang, this younger generation, is his final chosen successor of the weapon refining technique.
Zhou Yang also understands that opportunities are precious. Regardless of whether he understands what the old patriarch explains, he will carefully write it down. When he has free time, he will also take notes and write them down to avoid forgetting them in the future.
Although all cultivators have photographic memory, if they remember too many things, they will sometimes forget some memories, so it is still necessary to take notes on some important things.
It is said that after the great monks in the Nascent Soul stage cultivate into the Nascent Soul, they will gain the magical power of "memory retrieval". At that time, as long as they are willing, they can recall the memories in their mother's womb during the fetal period, and there will be no need to take notes at all.
.
After about two hours of this, the old patriarch completed the weapon refining.
The two crafted magical weapons were a defensive inner armor made of rat skin, and a set of four daggers made of four rat incisors.
Because two drops of Zhou Yang's essence and blood were taken from the ritual weapon when refining it, once the magical weapon is made, it can be used directly.
He was not polite to the old patriarch. He immediately took off his outer robe and put on his defensive inner armor. He also inserted four daggers about seven inches long into their leather sheaths and tied them to his waist for easy access at any time.
After he had done this, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan said: "Your cultivation should be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi training soon, right? Once you break through to the seventh level of Qi training, with these two things [
With the [Wujin Armor] and [Armor-Breaking Dagger] magical weapons, plus the [Silver Gang Shield] I gave you before, you can still fight against ordinary ninth-level Qi-training cultivators!"
The monk's cultivation level determines the number and level of the magic weapons he wields. With Zhou Yang's current level of cultivation at the sixth level of Qi training, it would be difficult to use two second-level high-grade magic weapons at the same time. If he can break through to the level of Qi training,
At the seventh level of Qi, your magic power and spiritual consciousness have greatly improved, and only then can you truly unleash the power of the three second-level high-quality magic weapons on your body.
As for the more powerful third-level magic weapon, even if it were sacrificed to him, his current mana and consciousness would not be able to exert half of the power of the magic weapon. It would not be as useful as using a second-level high-grade magic weapon.
Therefore, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, as a third-level high-grade weapon refiner, would not give it to Zhou Yang to sacrifice to Zhou Yang even though he had a surplus of third-level magic weapons in his hand. Not only would it be a waste of resources, he would also bring it to Zhou Yang.
To get rid of the danger of death.
After all, many monks in the foundation-building stage of casual cultivation still use second-level high-grade magic weapons after foundation building. If they see a monk in the Qi-training stage of Zhou Yang carrying a third-level magic weapon, it would be strange not to murder him.
Zhou Yang also understands this truth, so even if he is valued by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he will not make such a request.
When he heard the words of the old patriarch, his face suddenly straightened up, and he replied respectfully: "My grandson was just about to tell his great-grandfather about this matter. Recently, my grandson has felt the barrier in the late stage of Qi training, and he is trying to use the abundant energy here in the cave on the top of the mountain.
To make a breakthrough with my spiritual energy, please ask my great-grandfather for permission."
"Very good, then go to the cave opposite my cave to retreat and break through. This is the formation token from that cave. Remember to return it to me after you use it."
The old patriarch waved his hand, took out a cave token and handed it to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang took the token and couldn't wait to say goodbye to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and moved into the cave opposite.
There are three caves on the top of Yuquan Peak. Except for the one where the old patriarch Zhou Minghan lives, the other two are ownerless. If anyone in the family wants to break through the realm with the help of the abundant spiritual energy of the cave on the top of the mountain, they can ask the old man.
The clan leader applied to temporarily stay there for retreat.
However, there are not many late-stage qi-training monks in the Zhou family, and it often takes more than ten years for late-stage qi-training monks to advance to a higher level of cultivation. Therefore, eight of these two ownerless mountain top caves have been destroyed for eight out of ten years.
Is in a vacant state.
The caves are all equipped with dust removal arrays, which are as clean as new even if they have been uninhabited for many years. Zhou Yang entered them with the cave control token in hand. After briefly visiting the layout of the cave, he went directly to the retreat room in the deepest part of the cave.
The retreat room in the cave on the top of the mountain is directly connected to the spiritual eye of Yuquan Peak's spiritual veins. It is the place with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Yuquan Peak, and each retreat room has a cold jade bed carved from the second-order spiritual cold jade.
The cold air emitted by the Cold Jade Bed helps monks to concentrate their minds and prevent them from going crazy. Basically, some foundation-building monks from some families will add such a treasure when building their caves.
Some wealthy foundation-building monks will also prepare treasures to assist cultivation such as Qingxin Futon, Ningshen Incense and other treasures to carry with them, in addition to cold jade beds.
Zhou Yang sat down cross-legged on the cold jade bed, and immediately felt a piercing cold air pouring into his body from the cold jade bed beneath him, straight to his forehead.
Being hit by this cold air, his whole body became much more energetic, and the time it took for him to enter samadhi was almost twice as fast as usual.
In the next few months, Zhou Yang went into seclusion in the cave on the top of the mountain without taking a single step. When he was hungry, he would cook a bowl of [Golden Pearl Rice] by himself. When he was thirsty, he would drink it directly by condensing water with magic without stepping into the training room.
At the seventh level of Qi, you will never leave the cave.
With this determination, one day three months later, the door of the retreat room opened with a creak, and Zhou Yang, who had reached the seventh level of Qi training, walked out with a look of exhaustion on his face.
After three months of retreat, he meditated every day instead of resting. Zhou Yang's spirit was exhausted to the limit.
It was with this breath that he broke through the barrier between the middle and late stages of Qi training. Once the barrier was broken, he could no longer hold on and walked into the bedroom next to the retreat room and fell down on the warm jade bed in the bedroom.
He fell asleep soundly.
He slept for three days and three nights before waking up. After waking up, Zhou Yang felt indescribably comfortable all over his body. He felt that he had never had such a good sleep in his life.
Of course.
Not to mention that it was the first time in his past and present lives that he slept for such a long time. Even the warm jade bed he was sleeping on was a treasure that he was not qualified to enjoy before.
This warm jade, like the cold jade, is also a second-level spiritual object. The difference is that the cold air emitted by the cold jade can help the monks to focus and refresh their minds and avoid going crazy, while the hot air emitted by the warm jade can help the monks soothe their spirits and extremely
Greatly improve sleep quality.
"No wonder everyone wants to become a high-level monk. Compared with low-level monks, the difference between high-level monks and low-level monks is not only the difference in longevity and magical powers, but also the treatment they enjoy in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is also the treatment of nobles and civilians.
ah!"
Zhou Yang looked at the smooth and warm jade bed beneath him and couldn't help but sigh.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
In the world of immortal cultivators, the problem of uneven resource distribution is much more serious than the world in his previous life.
The low-level casual cultivators would fight to the death for a piece of low-grade spiritual stone, but they didn't know that they had been struggling for decades and couldn't afford a bed for the high-ranking cultivators to sleep on.
"Fortunately, I'm the one sleeping on the bed now!"
He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he muttered something like this with a strange expression on his face, and then he stood up and left the cave in a cool manner.
After leaving the cave where he had stayed for three months, Zhou Yang originally wanted to meet the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and tell him the good news that he had broken through to the seventh level of Qi training.
He never thought that just a few steps out of the cave, he would find that his seventh grandfather Zhou Jun, who had been sitting under the Dragon Scale Tree for a long time, was missing, and the tree was actually hung with a white cloth.
Seeing the white cloth, Zhou Yang's expression suddenly changed. Hanging a white cloth on the [Dragon Scale Tree] was something a family would do only after the death of an elder.
"Which elder passed away?"
His heart sank, and the joy of breaking through the seventh level of Qi training was instantly washed away by this bad news.
There are only eight elders in the Zhou family. This sudden loss of one person is not only the loss of an elder, but also the loss of a high-end combatant. The loss to the family is definitely not the loss of an extra Qi Lian Qi Seven.
A layer of monks can make up for it.
Not daring to neglect, Zhou Yang immediately changed his itinerary and rushed towards the family ancestral hall down the mountain.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, he discovered that as long as the family monks in the Yuquan Lake Oasis, including the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, were here to arrange the funeral arrangements for the deceased elders.
Only then did he realize that the deceased elder was none other than Zhou Qian, the eldest elder of the Zhou family, the tenth-level Dzogchen monk who had taken the "Foundation Building Pill" but failed to build the foundation.
The eldest elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Qian, is the eldest son of the "Light" generation. He is also a middle-grade spiritual root monk and a rare second-grade high-grade formation mage.
It was precisely because of Zhou Qian's extremely high talent in formations and his good spiritual qualifications that the Zhou family placed great value on him and gave him the "Foundation Building Pill" purchased with the family's savings.
If he can successfully build the foundation, the Zhou family will not only have one more foundation-building monk, but also a rare third-level formation mage. By then, the strength of the entire Zhou family will have doubled.
It's a pity that he failed!
His failure not only caused the Zhou family to waste an extremely precious "Foundation-Building Pill", but his heart was also stained with dust. From then on, he never had the opportunity to break through to a third-level formation mage, and for the remaining half of his life, he would never
Working hard to repay family debts, he didn't even leave any descendants.
"Your uncle is only three years older than me. With his Qigong Perfection cultivation, he should have been able to survive for a few more years. Unfortunately, after he learned that the family was planning to develop the Red Flame Iron Mine, he made a decisive decision.
I bet all my longevity to forcefully attack the realm of the third-level formation mage, and I want to leave a third-level formation and a third-level formation mage inheritance for my family!"
Outside the ancestral hall, when Zhou Yang came out after paying homage to the deceased old man Zhou Qian, he happened to see old man Zhou Quan with red eyes, and then heard the old man's hoarse voice telling the reason why old man Zhou Qian passed away.
Zhou Yang was not very impressed by this great grandfather at first, because this great grandfather did not often appear in front of the younger generations of the family to teach them how to practice like Zhou Quan or Zhou Yun.
Counting carefully, in the past 22 years, he has seen this great grandfather less than five times, probably less than five times, and every time he met, it was at some important family gatherings, and he only followed his parents' instructions.
It was just a courtesy, and the interactions between the two were really rare.
But now, after hearing the old man Zhou Quan talk about the cause of this great grandfather's death, he was in awe, and he had great admiration for this old man who had always been unknown and dedicated behind the scenes.
Then he looked at the old man Zhou Quan, whose eyes were red and seemed to have been crying, and comforted him in a low tone: "My condolences to the third grandfather. Although the great grandfather has passed away, his contribution to the family will always be remembered in the memory of us living people.
In my heart!"
He didn't ask Zhou Qian whether he succeeded, because that was no longer important.
Many people tend to only value the results, but they don't know that the process is sometimes more important than the results.
If old man Zhou Qian had not made up his mind to attack the third-level formation mage realm, how could there be any results?
So the result is really not important sometimes, what is important is to have a heart to achieve the result!
