The lavender pill fire was beating slightly in front of him. Due to the difference in texture, he was not worried that it would burn out this time, but he did not dare to be careless. The heat that overflowed from time to time would also give him shelter if not controlled properly.
It would bring a lot of disaster to the cave and even the entire mountain, which was not what he wanted to see.
'Li Xuan' carefully placed two layers of forbidden spells around the alchemy fire, so that the overflowing power of the alchemy fire could be controlled.
Staring at the dagger in the elixir fire with great interest, he began to wait for the moment when the iron sword melted...
An hour passed, and the sword was still a sword...
Two hours passed before the sword began to turn slightly red...
"No way! This black iron is too resistant to burning!"
In fact, 'Li Xuan' still lacks experience in weapon refining until now. Many things are just theoretical and lack practical experience. For example, this underground mysterious iron, if according to the annotations in "The Essentials of Refining Instruments",
Naturally, it is something that can be melted by elixir fire, but he overlooked one point. This sword has been smelted by others, its texture has changed, and its hardness is far beyond the black iron mold. Now it is necessary to use elixir fire again.
Come to smelting, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
As time passed by, looking at the slightly red sword body, 'Li Xuan' couldn't help but start to feel suspicious.
"Is there something wrong with what is stated in "The Profound Essentials of Weapon Refining"? It's impossible... I don't believe I can't melt you!"
Gritting his teeth secretly, he roared softly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly sprayed a deep purple elixir fire up. The elixir fire, which was originally the size of a basketball and was fluttering lightly, suddenly jumped up and turned into Mi Xu.
A square ball of fire, in an instant, the huge heat ignored the constraints of the two prohibitions and spread unscrupulously in the cave where 'Li Xuan' was located. Amidst bursts of crackling sounds, large pieces of stone
Continuously bursting from the cave wall, splashing and falling from the flying stone powder.
As soon as the deep purple elixir fire came out, 'Li Xuan''s body trembled slightly, and a trace of gold flashed on his face. To a cultivator, this natal elixir fire is just like the blood in an ordinary person's body. Although it can be recovered,
But no one will feel better if you use it too much.
When the elixir fire ignited, 'Li Xuan' realized that his decision this time was too impulsive. He secretly scolded himself, quickly squeezed the magic formula, and kept adding restrictions to the burning fireball at an extremely fast speed.
It wasn't until the one-meter-square fireball shrank back to its previous size that he let out a long sigh of relief.
The fire was under control. Looking at the scene in the cave now, it can only be described as horrific and messy. "Hey! It seems that the power of my natal pill fire is really not limited!" 'Li Xuan' secretly said again.
A bit narcissistic.
Time slowly passed, with the addition of the natal elixir fire, and the restrictive pressure from all around, the current fireball was far from what it was before, but even with the obstacles of many restrictions, the compelling heat still spread throughout the cave, but it was gone.
It was just as violent as before.
Staring at the fireball in front of him with all his concentration, a steady stream of true energy was injected into the fireball. After about a cup of tea, 'Li Xuan' had sweat on his forehead. It seemed that it was not that easy to maintain this life elixir fire.
After a while, the sword finally began to slowly melt. A drop of clear and translucent liquid appeared in the fireball, then a second drop, and a third drop... When the entire dagger completely melted, 'Li Xuan' had already
I don’t know how much time passed, and he had no time to take care of so much. Feeling that the true energy in his body was almost drained, he secretly complained and regretted: "If I had known that this thing was so difficult to get, I shouldn't have bothered...
"I regret it, but now I can only hold on, I can't let all my previous efforts go to waste!"
The smelting continued. Looking at the gradually shrinking bright silver sphere in the elixir fire, 'Li Xuan' showed a look of relief in his eyes. He gritted his teeth suddenly and the elixir fire once again broke through the shackles of the surrounding restrictions, suddenly rising into the air.
Gao, in the short period of time when the surrounding stone walls were not completely heated, they turned into stars and scattered in the cave... In mid-air, a bright silver sphere was quietly suspended there. The sphere that had been calcined at high temperature had just cooled down.
, a trace of cold air overflowed from the ball, and under the alternation of hot and cold, a mysterious silver-gray halo was formed around it.
With a move of his hand, the silver ball landed in his palm.
Staring blankly at the silver ball the size of a glass ball in his hand, 'Li Xuan' really had the urge to swallow it, not because of its charming appearance, but out of a feeling of venting.
Just for such a little thing, he actually drained all the alchemy in his body. While he was annoyed, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that this weapon refining is still too difficult for the Qi Transformation stage. Just smelting it."
It’s so laborious... put it away first!”
'Li Xuan' shook his head and sighed, put away the silver ball, and thought of the two things he had smelted earlier, and smiled bitterly. Are those still magic weapons?
Just as he was sighing, a gust of dark wind came slowly, wrapped in two black qi, which landed in front of him and circled around, and then appeared the person who was also the wind and the moon.
After the two of them paid their respects, 'Li Xuan' said: "What did you gain in this town?"
"Returning to the Taoist leader, I still haven't found the person you are looking for..." After Yifeng finished speaking, he looked at 'Li Xuan' hesitantly.
"If you have any questions, tell me! Don't be so reserved in front of me in the future."
"It's the Taoist Master... In fact, the two of us were already waiting outside the cave two days ago. But without your call, and the cave was filled with the power of pure Yang at that time, we didn't dare to go near..."
Before Yifeng finished speaking, he was interrupted by 'Li Xuan': "I know, you have done a good job, but I still have some things to do now... You go and guard outside the cave. Without my order, any
No one is allowed in."
"It's Taoist Master." The two ghosts responded, rolling to the ground and turning into two black smoke floating out of the cave.
After the two ghosts left, 'Li Xuan' placed a few restrictions around himself, crossed his legs and concentrated, and looked inside the Huangting Divine Chamber. He saw that the golden elixir that was originally surrounded by purple light was now dim, and a few elixir fires were in the air.
It was fluttering feebly around it...'Li Xuan' sighed secretly, gathered his mind again, then looked at his nose and nose, and then looked at his heart. Suddenly he forgot himself, his spirit and energy were unified, and he entered the state of concentration just like this... just now
The consumption may be the most serious since he came down the mountain. If he does not recover in time, it may cause unexpected troubles in his future practice.
As time passed slowly, the hilltop where 'Li Xuan' was located began to stir, and the invisible spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, making the grass and trees all over the mountain rustle, giving people the illusion of being automatic without wind.
The two ghosts who were guarding outside the cave first noticed this strange phenomenon, and they both looked at each other in surprise.
"Brother, this Taoist priest is so powerful that he can actually activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in such a large area!" Yiyue said.
"Sister, the Taoist priest's Dharma name is 'Qingyang'. You should pay attention to how you address him in the future..." Yifeng turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave, and said: "As long as we follow him well, we will always be able to succeed in the future."
…
Inside the cave, mist filled the air, and two purple air currents continued to expand and contract between 'Li Xuan''s breaths. The golden elixir in his body also slowly rotated during this expansion and contraction, and its color became darker with each rotation.
The elixir fire also became active, cooperating with the rotation of the golden elixir, wrapping it and tempering it...
…
Two days later, the moon sets and the sun rises, the morning light begins to shine, and the birds chirp in the mountains and forests. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered on the top of the mountain where 'Li Xuan' is located gradually becomes thinner, and there is no longer fog in the cave.
The purple air in his breath also accelerated the frequency of expansion and contraction. After a few breaths, it suddenly circled and penetrated into his body. A purple halo of light rippled with him as the center, causing stone chips to fly around...
After a long time, 'Li Xuan' slowly opened his eyes. Two rays of light flashed away, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "I didn't expect that in just a few days, my cultivation has improved a lot. It probably won't take long."
Can you break through the stage of transformation and enter the realm of human immortality? Haha, it is really difficult to distinguish between good and evil..."
Given his current situation, as long as the opportunity comes, he can go one step further in the future, transform elixirs into infants, and understand the movement of heaven. It is not impossible for the future to shine back on the innate and refine the innate fire.
After checking his own situation, 'Li Xuan' stood up, shook off the stone powder on his clothes, came outside the cave, comforted the two ghosts, put them into the gourd, and then found a way down the mountain.
Run to the small town ahead.
…
It was an early morning, and Li Xuan came to an ordinary small town.
The morning in the small town is quiet, intoxicating, comfortable, and sweet; under the faint glow of the sun, the flowing river surface flashes with silver scales, and the river water is tender blue and translucent, like a green belt
, walking quietly through the town.
The mountains are in the void, and the green pines and green bamboos reflect the blue sky. The sentimental rivers are connected, and the poetry and painting are in the world!
Walking in the small town, Li Xuan seemed to be integrated into this pleasant tranquility. From time to time, he was surrounded by villagers who got up early to make a living and schoolchildren carrying schoolbags. He looked at their hurried footsteps and their longing for tomorrow.
The look in his eyes made him feel something deep in his heart.
Ordinary people always hope that they will have an extraordinary life, silent people always hope that one day they will no longer be silent, everyone always has their own dreams and yearns for their own freedom...
The streets in the small town were not long. Li Xuan walked slowly along the way and he didn't realize that he had reached the end.
There is a college here near the end of the street. Although it is early in the morning, the entrance of the college is already very lively. Groups of students carrying backpacks and walking cheerfully gather from all directions. From their elegant faces
In their eyes, you can see the longing for a better tomorrow. Although the ups and downs among them are certainly inevitable, as long as that day has not come, who can say the future outright...
Everyone has their own innate talents and the right to pursue their goals in life. At no time can we look at everything in this world from the perspective of one moment and another. The so-called truth is just a generalization of someone's surrounding things.
Opinion is a title obtained after being recognized by the majority of people.
"We're selling pancakes! Pancakes just out of the pan...wait a minute, grandma will wrap it in tung leaves for you so it doesn't burn your hands..." Not far to the right of the college gate, an old lady was fanning the fire with a fan in one hand.
, one hand kept turning the pancakes in the frying pan. In the morning breeze, he could see his gray hair, kind eyes, wrinkled face, hunched body, and a clean and white knee-length cotton-padded jacket made of coarse cloth.
The aunt was busy, handing the steaming pancakes to the small hands in front of him. Every time the childish voice of thanking grandma sounded, her wrinkled face would always bloom with a happy smile.
'Li Xuan' stood in the distance and watched quietly. For a moment, something seemed to be touched in his heart. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he silently turned around and walked into an alley...
As the class bell rang, the entrance to the college gradually became quiet. The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little figure who had gone away, her eyes full of love.
While Mrs. Pancake was looking at the college in trance, an old and timid voice sounded: "Sister, please come on! I haven't eaten in a few days, can you give me a pancake?"
The pancake lady turned around when she heard the sound. Unexpectedly, an old beggar with ragged clothes and unkempt hair was already standing in front of her stall.
I saw that the beggar had his eyes narrowed slightly, looking listless, his cheeks were severely sunken, and his face was covered with deep lines. He was wearing a coat made of dozens of rags of different sizes. Maybe it was because the morning in early spring was still relatively cold.
That thin body looked particularly pitiful in the cool breeze.
"Brother, you are so hungry! Come on, take this and eat it quickly." A look of pity flashed in the old woman's eyes, and she wrapped a few pancakes in tung leaves on the pot holder and handed them to the beggar in front of her.
"Thank you, sister..." The beggar took the hot pancake and swallowed it in two bites, regardless of the leaves on the pancake.
"Eat slowly, don't swallow...Hey!" Looking at the beggar's eating appearance, the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
"Auntie, your pancakes are so delicious..." The beggar finished eating the pancakes in his hand, but still stared at the pot holder.
"Here, I'll give it all to you, eat it quickly!"
"Thank you, thank you..." The beggar thanked twice without being polite. He took the pancake with both hands and started chewing it hungrily. After a while, his hands were empty again.
After the beggar finished eating, he grinned at the old lady, revealing two rows of uneven and extremely yellow teeth from his dry lips, and stammered:
"Sister, look... I also ate this... cake, but I really don't have any money..." After the old beggar finished speaking, he looked at the aunt pitifully.
"No money, I gave it to you." The aunt said with a smile.
When the beggar heard this, he thanked him again and again, then turned around and staggered away.
Watching the beggar leave, the old lady seemed to think of something and shouted: "Oh! Brother, wait a minute!" Then she walked around the stall, came to the beggar, reached out and took out a small stack in her purse.
Change said: "You are a lonely old man and have no one to rely on. Just take this money. If you encounter any emergency in the future, you will have a place to reach out!"
After taking a look at the money in the old lady's hand, the beggar said: "Sister, you are really a good person, a good person! Good people will be rewarded..." After the beggar finished speaking, he did not accept the money, but just put the dirty piece of wood in his hand.
Xi raised his hand and patted the old woman between her eyebrows.
Strangely enough, seeing the beggar's dirty hands reaching for her eyebrows, the lady seemed to be in a trance, as if fascinated, and refused to avoid it, letting the hand slap her.
There was a flash of purple light, and the beggar took back his hand, looked at the old woman who was still in a daze, and left quietly. The staggering steps walking on the street were unexpectedly smooth. What seemed like an ordinary step was far different. After a while, the thin and thin man walked on the street.
His body had disappeared into the mist of the early morning.
As soon as the beggar disappeared, the old woman's body shook slightly, her eyes gradually became clearer, her stooped body slowly straightened, and her wrinkled face gradually revealed a trace of youthful brightness, and her whole body
She seemed to be twenty years younger all of a sudden, and a change was taking place in her from the inside out.
She stretched out her hand to touch her face and looked at her body in disbelief. The old lady looked in disbelief. She stood there blankly for a long time and then said to herself: "God! I have met a god..."
…
At this moment, already standing on a mountain peak in the distance, 'Li Xuan' looked at the Youzi's happy figure indifferently, with a hint of relief on his face.
His powerful shot just now could extend the old man's life for at least twenty years. This may not be worth mentioning in his eyes, but when it comes to a mortal, it is the same as recreating it.
In fact, people who find happiness in life are often those who create happiness for others...
After a while, the red clouds rolled, the sun rose in the east, the golden morning light dispersed the mist, and the tall body slowly disappeared in a bright and soft light.
There is no gorgeous truth in the world, only plainness is true. Just look at the hustle and bustle, all for fame and fortune. What benefits society, what is helpful to others, what eradicates evil, in fact, the most "real" principles of life are concentrated in
It doesn’t matter how much you help others, don’t ask what benefits you will receive in return, as long as you can do your best within your ability, that’s fine!
For ordinary people, plainness is the realm of life. Blandness is not mediocrity. Although the two are similar in appearance, their connotations are very different. Life always goes on quietly in plainness, day after day, year after year. Even though
This kind of ordinary life is far from what I imagined, but because I know in my heart that I am just a mortal, I have learned to enjoy an ordinary life peacefully.
Ordinary life means peace of mind. Even if you only have coarse tea and common clothes, you will think in your heart that it is enough.
Be an ordinary person and enjoy an ordinary life peacefully. Perhaps, in an ordinary life, the sunshine is the most gentle and beneficial.
Ordinariness comes from deep inner self-knowledge and insight into society. In life, having power in all directions does not necessarily mean you are majestic. In other words, the most comfortable enjoyment is not necessarily the satisfaction of material desires, but the tranquility and tranquility of emotions.
An Ran. Be at peace with the circumstances in life. Even if you are in adversity, you are still calm. Look at the joys and sorrows with a detached mood, and meet all challenges with a calm mind. The experiences that life brings are a pile of wealth.
