Mr. Kui nodded. "I also saw it in the scriptures. It is said that it existed in ancient times, maybe to ward off these sea beasts."
"Have you seen the true face of the sea beast, teacher?" Xuan Ye asked.
Mr. Kui rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know what my master's cultivation is? If I just fight for my cultivation, I'm afraid some of the disciples of Daqingqiong can beat me. If I encounter a sea beast, wouldn't I be courting death?"
After saying that, he opened the earthen pot again, and a sweet fragrance of tea overflowed.
"This is meditation tea. It is useful for cultivation. Come to the peak to find me after drinking it."
Xuan Ye nodded, waited for the tea to cool down a little, and drank it in one gulp. There was no special feeling except for the fragrance of tea, just like drinking water.
When he reached the top of the mountain and just walked out of the woods, he felt a hot wind blowing on his face, like needle pricks.
With Xuan Ye's current cultivation level and the addition of physical training, he can still feel the tingling sensation. It can be seen that the wind here is not ordinary. Looking up, there seems to be a wall of air in the distance, which becomes stronger in the sun.
Twisted.
He stared closely at the twist, as if he wanted to see through the wall of air, but the next moment, he was blocked by a broad palm.
"I didn't expect you to see the clues so quickly, but I advise you not to look." Mr. Kui reminded.
"What do you mean, teacher?"
Mr. Kui glanced in the direction of the Qi Wall, which is the overseas land, and his voice deepened, "That is an illusion. As for what is outside the illusion, I am afraid that it is not something you and I can see through. Don't spend your time on places that are beyond the reach of your abilities.
, let’s practice first.”
Xuan Ye nodded in response, but found that Mr. Kui's whole body was wrapped tightly, and he didn't know what it meant. It was obviously hot enough, but he was wrapped so tightly, wouldn't it be stuffy?
The two continued walking forward and came to a concave bare rock valley. The hills rolled up on both sides, like crescent moons.
As soon as he set foot here, Xuan Ye felt that the heat was getting worse, the wind was blowing harder, and the stinging sensation on his face was particularly obvious.
"This wind is a strong wind, and the sunlight reflected from the sea surface all converges here. It's like there are a few extra suns, which is why it is named Rizhao Valley."
Xuan Ye was deeply touched. Just after being exposed to the sun for a while, the skin on his face already felt obvious pain. It must have been red and hard.
"Take off your upper body clothes and sit in the pool. It will be late for a while, and the heat will continue to rise. Even if the power is not as powerful as the demon fire, it will not be much worse. We must seize the time to practice."
Xuan Ye nodded, took off his shirt, and walked towards the pool in the middle. The further he went, the hotter the heat coming from the ground became hotter, and even the air in front of him became distorted, making the scenery in front of him look a bit unreal.
Fortunately, he has been dealing with demonic fire recently, so he doesn't find it too unbearable.
When I walked to the pool, I found that the water was as clear as a mirror, and the steaming heat had disappeared here.
It's strange to say that in such a hot place, wouldn't the pool be evaporated?
Xuan Ye stepped into it with doubts in mind, and the hot temperature instantly spread from his calves. The surface of the skin was like thousands of needle ants biting it, it was painful and numb.
He subconsciously used his spiritual power to fight against the demonic fire, and finally forced the discomfort away.
"If you want to learn the Fire God's Refining as soon as possible, it's best not to make any resistance."
Kui Lao's voice came from his ears. Xuan Ye looked at Kui Lao standing behind him, wrapped like a cicada, and finally understood why he was dressed like this. He swallowed lightly, and then removed his spiritual power.
The pain came again. He adapted for a while and continued to walk forward a few steps until the water reached his waist, and then he was told to stop.
At this moment, Xuan Ye felt like he was in a steamer. What he breathed in was not air at all, but scalding hot water.
The heat under the body is constantly passing upwards, and the meridians in the body are constantly relaxing due to this heat, and there is a slight feeling of swelling.
"Hurry up, the sun is just rising. The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be." Kui Lao shouted.
Xuan Ye sacrificed the Juelong Cauldron and felt that the spiritual power in his body was not running smoothly, and even his breathing was a little short. As the spiritual power surged out from his palm, the demonic fire turned into a fire dragon and jumped out, and the heat increased several times.
At this moment, Xuan Ye felt that he was about to dry up, and the water in his body surged out like this spiritual power.
He ignored the sweat pouring down like water and silently recited the magic formula to gather some of the demonic fire into his Dantian.
The focus of the Fire Divine Refining is to use your own fire to control the fire of the furnace.
Therefore, only with the help of external fire can one fire be transformed into two sources. Then, by adjusting the demonic fire in the body, the fire in the furnace can be controlled. In short, through the chain of external fire, people and the furnace can be integrated into one.
Although this method is a bit extreme, as long as you master it, your control over the weapon can be increased several times. In the words of Mr. Kui, it is the threshold to reach the subtle realm.
Originally, Xuan Ye had already practiced at Xiaozhu Peak, but now in a different environment, he found that he could not calm down and could not resonate with the demonic fire in the furnace.
After repeated failures, a sense of anxiety arises spontaneously.
Soon, he could no longer control the demonic fire and felt like his body was burning with fire.
"That's enough, let's call it a day." Kui Lao interrupted Xuan Ye, took out another earthen jar and threw it over.
Xuan Ye knew that this was meditation tea, and his mouth was already dry. He drank it in one gulp, and most of the anxiety in his heart receded in an instant. "Teacher, let me try it again."
Seeing Mr. Kui shaking his head, he could only crawl out of the pool obediently and follow him down the mountain.
Although Kui Lao is usually very easy-going to him, once he starts practicing, he will become extremely strict, like the iron-faced King of Hell, no decision can be changed.
Returning to the woods again, the hot feeling subsided instantly.
Xuan Ye felt refreshed and cool all over his body, and extremely comfortable, just like when he suddenly soaked in the cool spring water on a hot summer day, and all the muscles and bones in his body relaxed at this moment.
But he did not become happy because of this. Instead, he kept reflecting on what he did wrong when he first started practicing.
However, there was one more thing that Xuan Ye didn't understand. It was clearly not hot enough to leave, so why did Mr. Kui stop him from doing it again?
And on the way down, Mr. Kui kept walking forward silently. That old and heavy figure made Xuan Ye's heart feel as if a stone was weighing on him.
After returning to the cave, Kui Lao came to the fire again and started making tea, still with a sullen face and saying nothing.
After a while, after the Jingxin tea was brewed, he raised his head and said to Xuan Ye, "Drink the tea."
"Yes," while waiting for the tea to cool down, Xuan Ye finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, why did you stop me from practicing again just now? As long as I try a few more times, the disciple will definitely be able to master the key."
Mr. Kui was stunned, but when he saw the serious look on the young man's face, he couldn't help but smile. "Of course, I believe that you will be able to master the Burning Fire Divine Refining. I stopped you just now because I still underestimated the power of the demon fire."
He sighed and then said: "Introducing external fire is only the first difficulty in the Fire God's training. What is even more difficult is that during training, or even when it is used to refine weapons, the external fire will slowly infect the host and affect the mind."
Xuan Ye had also heard that monks who majored in Fire Spirit would have a more violent temper. Perhaps this was the reason.
After Kui Lao said this, he also felt that when he first started practicing, he was much more impatient than usual. Thinking about it, it should be the influence of external fire, which is much more serious than using spirit to transform fire.
The demon fire on his body was more intense than ordinary external fire, and the effect was naturally more significant, so he was called to stop urgently.
"Does the teacher have a solution?" Xuan Ye asked.
"Not yet, but I don't want you to become the God of Burning Fire in one day. In the evening, when the sun sets, try it again. You should get used to it and think of a solution later."
It's not that Mr. Kui was unprepared, it's just that those things were intended to be used in later training.
Now is just the first step. He hopes that Xuan Ye can survive with his own willpower. But in the final analysis, it is still caused by underestimating the power of the demon fire.
In the evening, the sky is embedded in the sea level. Although it is evening, the temperature at this moment is much higher than in the morning.
Xuan Ye came to Xiaotan again and had the first experience. This time it was better. He slowly waded into the water and endured the heat.
He sacrificed the Julong Cauldron and divided the demonic fire into two sources. But this time, his anxiety became even stronger. He tried several times without success, and his face became a little gloomy.
Kui Lao stopped again and asked Xuan Ye to come out, with an extremely serious expression on his face.
This was very different from what he originally thought. He originally thought that after the first experience, the second time would be much better.
Who would have thought that not long after entering the pool, Xuan Ye's energy would become chaotic, and he would know the outcome before he even started practicing.
The master and apprentice went down the mountain again and returned to the cave.
Xuan Ye was silent all the way, sitting by the fire.
Until nightfall, the cold wind blew.
This island is really strange. It is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night, and even frost can form on it.
In one day, I experienced winter and summer.
Shortly after nightfall, the low roar sounded again.
Xuan Ye looked at the dark sea, but his mind was thinking about today's failure. He was a little confused. He had succeeded many times, why couldn't he do it here? Is it because he couldn't overcome the heat here?
Gradually, he seemed to have reached a dead end and kept thinking about why he failed. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Even when he came back to his senses, he could not get rid of his unhappy thoughts.
After struggling for a long time, Xuan Ye stepped out of the cave, letting the cold wind blow on his face, staring into the dark night, and gained a brief moment of clarity.
With a burst of impact, the mountain trembled slightly.
He suddenly felt a stinging pain coming from the totem on his arm. For some reason, a long-abandoned technique suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Tian Yuan Gong..."
Xuan Ye murmured in a low voice, thinking of this skill that he had practiced hard for seven years without any results. His mind gradually recalled what he had experienced in these days. Although there were many setbacks, there were countless desperate moments.
But in the end, he is still getting stronger very smoothly, and even his cultivation has experienced two leaps of thousands of miles.
For Xuan Ye, who had experienced setbacks in the past seven years, he suddenly relaxed because he had been suppressed for too long and his subsequent cultivation path was too smooth.
Now, the immediate setbacks have turned into pressure, which will lead to changes in mentality.
Xuan Ye caressed the totem on his arm, remembering that Gu Meier once said that it was not a good thing for him to enter the country too fast. Perhaps this was the reason.
After thinking about this, Xuan Ye took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and sank into the darkness.
