From summer to winter, Wu Jie has been busy refining various materials.
Every time he finished refining a material, a new task would be assigned, one after another with almost no time to rest.
The contents of these tasks are similar. They are all refining certain special materials. But the same refining is also different. The properties of various materials are very different. When refining them, not only Nanmingli relies on
Due to the magical nature of fire, Wu Jie himself had to concentrate and fully understand the properties of the raw materials and the needs after refining, so that he could refine as many useful things as possible.
This process is very arduous, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and most importantly boring.
When a certain material is refined for the first time, it is being explored, when it is refined for the tenth time, it is improving, when it is refined for the hundredth time, it is improving, but when it is refined for the thousandth time, it is just that.
The simple mechanical process was repeated.
And this kind of mechanical repetition is what he mainly does during this time.
There is a proverb in the martial arts world, "You can practice an ordinary move a hundred thousand times and you can develop a powerful trick..." However, this is not true for immortals. Immortals have souls and mental powers that are hundreds or thousands of times better than mortals, so
No matter how complex the technique is, they only need a little practice to master it. What hinders their progress is often some rigid indicators - for example, is the technique itself suitable? Has the cultivation level been reached? Infuriating energy and magic power
Is it enough?
Wu Jie's cultivation level is still only in the middle stage of refining the sword, but the accumulation of his soul and mental strength has far exceeded the level of the middle stage of the refining process. The Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa is indeed the unique skill of the fighting god in the heaven, and Wu Jie will have it in every battle.
Although the accumulation of true energy and mana is not obvious, the tempering of Taoist heart, the growth of mental power, and the strengthening of soul... these are far beyond the normal level, and the elders of the master can't help but sigh.
Elder Changsun, who once fought side by side with Patriarch Taixu, once lamented: "After every battle, your realm will be significantly improved. If this continues, it may not take long before you can surpass thousands of years and catch up from behind.
More than me..."
Among the materials Wu Jie refined during this period, the most complicated thing is something called "Moon Wolf Eyes", which is the eye of a monster called "Moon Wolf". This kind of material is very rare, because it is only natural
Only the eyes of dead moon wolves can grow into this kind of material, and as a monster, moon wolves have a long lifespan... The Sunset Sect has been accumulating for thousands of years, and they have only accumulated a hundred or so.
If it weren't for the fact that the prairie has become so dry that even ordinary monsters can't survive, the Sunset Sect would definitely be reluctant to give up all the accumulation of thousands of years - you know, the Moon Wolf is a "divine beast" worshiped by the people of the prairie.
For them, the Moon Wolf Eye is not only a material for refining weapons, but also an important souvenir!
Because they treasured these Moon Wolf Eyes too much, the Sunset Sect sent an Elder Ning Yuan to come to Anfeng County to take charge of ensuring that Wu Jie would not be disturbed in any way while he was refining the Moon Wolf Eyes.
The elder of the Sunset Sect, who was also the chief of a large tribe, stared at Wu Jie with his bull's eye, and finally sighed and handed him the jade box containing the Moon Wolf Eyes with a distressed look on his face.
"I always feel that it is very risky to hand over these treasures to a junior Lian Gang for purification..." He muttered, shook his head and sighed, walked out slowly, and erected a flag at the door of Wu Jie's courtyard.
He placed a sign that read "No Entry for Unused Persons", and then sat under the sign as a bodyguard for two months.
In the past two months, Wu Jie has carefully refined hundreds of Moon Wolf Eyes one by one. This material is both delicate and delicate. Not to mention using too much force, even blowing on it can make it pure.
The power of the moon was contaminated. Wu Jie's refining process was quite laborious. No matter how careful he was, three of them were destroyed in the beginning.
However, starting from the fourth one, he never missed again.
In fact, after the first three failures, he had completely mastered the physical properties of this material. About the fifth time of refining, he had completely sorted out the entire process. By the time of the eighth time of refining, he still had
The process has been optimized. The optimized process can make the quality of the refining better, and the effect of the refined Moon Wolf Eyes more powerful and wonderful.
After his refining, the Moon Wolf Eye, which was originally just an eyeball, turned into an oval bead about the size of a little finger. The bead was yellow and slightly white in color, just like the full moon in the night sky.
It does not have any mana fluctuations. At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary glass bead. But if you use your spiritual sense to explore it, you will find that it contains the pure power of the moon. That power of the moon forms a wonderful natural cycle, and there is no trace of it at all.
Will be leaked.
In fact, there are many ways to refine the Moon Wolf Eye, but this method is the most suitable for the tasks it will undertake.
These refined strange orbs will become the core of the magic circle that connects to the moonlight outside the Nine Heavens. Their own power will not be consumed at all. What the magic circle needs is just the induction between them and the moonlight.
In order to strengthen this sense to the extreme, Wu Jie erased all the other spiritual effects of the Moon Wolf Eyes, retaining only this one. However, precisely because of its single and pure effect, this effect was maximized.
When you hold it in your hand, even in broad daylight, you can feel the power of the moonlight falling from the distant sky, echoing the glass-like beads on your hand. If it is night, you only need to circulate your Qi a little, and it will
It can gather the astonishing power of the moonlight, so that the whole person is enveloped in the pale moonlight, just like the legendary immortal from the Moon Palace!
The chief was rather disdainful of Wu Jie at first, but when he saw the first completed Moon Wolf Eye, he changed his attitude.
"Although the grassland is large, no one has ever been able to handle the Moon Wolf Eyes so skillfully! The land of Kyushu is indeed full of heroes, and we are beyond our reach!"
He sighed like this, and his whole person seemed to be much older.
Even for the most sophisticated Moon Wolf Eye, Wu Jie only used it less than twenty times to completely perfect the entire refining technique. From then on, there was no possibility of improvement or optimization, and all that was left was pure repetition.
This kind of repetition is no different from the other refining he did during this period.
But the boring and monotonous repeated refining is not meaningless. It not only provides many more precious materials than expected for the preparations for Operation Star Reaching, which greatly improves the success rate of the entire operation, but also allows Wu Jie's soul to settle down.
, a training.
Although he has often practiced hard in seclusion for decades, practice is a process of gradual accumulation, and while practicing, it will also be accompanied by the practice of new spells, the refining of magic weapons, etc., so he will never feel bored.
.
But this time, what he experienced was complete boredom. This boredom fully tempered his will and made his mental state more stable.
When he first started refining materials, his body was filled with the vigor brought about by the battle, like a sharp blade unsheathed, ready to fight any enemy at any time.
After this period of training and precipitation, his temperament has become deep and restrained. There is nothing extraordinary about his appearance, just like an ordinary young man who can be seen everywhere on the street.
If he walked into the crowd at this moment, even the experienced Lao Jianghu would not be able to distinguish him from ordinary pedestrians.
"Get rid of the prosperity and return to nature." When Elder Ruiling came to pick up a batch of medicinal materials that he had been asked to purify, he couldn't help but praise him when he saw his appearance, "Being able to comprehend such a state, you have reached the level of condensation in your mind.
.What is needed next is to accumulate mana and cultivate the Gangqi to the extreme."
Wu Jie smiled and bowed slightly to show courtesy: "The growth of a disciple is all due to the cultivation of the master."
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite! It's your own fault that you are motivated and motivated. The master can help you design some targeted training programs, but it can't really train for you - if you rely on cultivation, you can be cultivated like you.
With the talent coming, our sect should already have hundreds or even thousands of Huandan Patriarchs!"
As he said this, the easy-going elder smiled: "If there are really so many masters of returning elixirs, we would rush out and just pull down the comet from the sky, why bother!"
Wu Jie also laughed. He knew that Master Ruiling was joking - in the entire land of Kyushu, there were less than fifty Huandan Patriarchs of all sects in total. Even if all the sects' wealth was emptied,
, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather hundreds of Huandan Patriarchs.
Master Ruiling, who has returned to the third level of elixir, ranks among the top five among the twenty-four generations of disciples of Qingyang Temple. In the entire Qingyang Temple, there are a total of sixteen founders of elixir returning - this does not include the two who guard the Star Hall.
Count it in.
As far as Wu Jie knows, the sect with the most masters of returning elixirs in the Jiuzhou realm is probably his sect. Then there is Bailiantang, with about twelve or three eminent monks whose cultivation is equivalent to the realm of returning elixirs; Baidi Pavilion follows closely behind, with about
There are ten founders of Huandan.
Apart from these three major sects, among the remaining sects, Wanshoushan, the leader of the Xuanmen sect, has the most number of Huandan Patriarchs. He should have six to seven, followed by Kantian Sect and Shen Dao Tang, both of whom have five;
As for the sects represented by the Tongtian Sect, there are two sects that return the pills, and there are only one sects that return the pills.
Of course, most of the sects in the Jiuzhou Realm have not returned their Dan Patriarch. For example, Laojun Guan, whose master died inexplicably a few years ago and only has a group of Taoist disciples left, has only two Taoist masters in the Ning Yuan realm.
The elders above, and the rest, including the real person in charge, are only in the Gang Refining realm.
Of course...this is already past tense...
For a monk to make progress, on the one hand, he needs to work hard enough, on the other hand, he needs superior skills, and finally, he needs a certain amount of opportunity.
Opportunity manifests itself in various aspects, the most obvious of which is Tao Xin.
Even Patriarch Taixu and Abandoned Sword Disciple, who are known as unparalleled geniuses, are not born with a strong and thorough Taoist heart. They also need to continue to grow in the process of practice. This growth process is often accompanied by many hardships and hardships. With many hardships.
Some of these tribulations are for the body, and some are for the soul. Those who cannot endure it will either die or go astray. Only those who can survive tribulations one after another can develop a strong, stable, clear and clear mind. Taoist mind, so as to clarify the original mind in the chaotic thoughts, and finally achieve the return elixir.
If you want to go through all kinds of hardships without falling, all kinds of help is one aspect, your own perception is another aspect, and mysterious luck is also another aspect. All of these combined are called opportunities.
The teacher can provide some opportunities, but in the final analysis, the core of the opportunity still lies in yourself!
Therefore, throughout the ages, no one has been able to achieve Huan Dan by relying solely on outside help. Every founder who has achieved Huan Dan is a person with a firm mind and a clear mind. Regardless of whether they are right or evil, good or evil, they are all good in life. There is something to be admired and looked up to.
Wu Jie, of course, also wanted to understand how to achieve the goal of returning elixirs with his original intention, so he was very grateful to his master for providing him with these trainings and regarded them as part of the opportunity.
"It's not that complicated!" Jasmine said disdainfully, "When we were training disciples, we never had so many tricks!"
"I have always had doubts..." Wu Jie said, "According to your statement, back then you gathered a large number of qualified young people and then carried out cruel training. During the training process, the vast majority of the monks died. , it takes about 100,000 people to achieve one golden elixir, right?"
"Yeah, I think it's quite efficient..."
"But I'm surprised. According to your training method, can the disciples really have a strong Taoist mind, finally understand their original intention, and achieve the return of the elixir? Not to mention that they have to go from the first stage of the return of the elixir to the ninth stage step by step. , and finally achieved the golden elixir...it always feels incredible!"
"This... how the low-level disciples are trained, actually I don't know very well..." Jasmine smiled awkwardly, "But according to my impression, the cultivators of our time didn't seem to think about understanding their true intentions. question."
"Ah?" It was Du Xin who asked the question this time. Her tone rarely rose, showing her inner surprise, "If you don't understand your true intention, how can you achieve the goal of returning the elixir? How can you return the elixir nine times to the golden level? Dan Dacheng?"
"At that time... we basically kept accumulating, consuming resources, and then growing little by little. From refining Qi to building foundations, from building foundations to golden elixirs, from golden elixirs to Yinshen, Dharma, Heavenly Beings, and Dao Fruits ...Anyway, it’s just accumulation.” Jasmine was a little vague, and it seemed that she didn’t know much about the specific situation.
"Just accumulate?"
"Yeah, just accumulate."
"Then... what should we do when we encounter a bottleneck?" Du Xin asked, "When the realm of condensation reaches its peak, the laws of the world have come to an end. Only by understanding the original heart can we find the path that best suits us. Derive the "method beyond this world" to open the door to heaven for yourself. If you can't understand your true heart...how to break through this bottleneck?"
"Take medicine!" Jasmine smiled, "From mortals to refining qi, there are vitality pills; from refining qi to foundation building, there are foundation building pills; from foundation building to gold pills, there are gold forming pills... Anyway, we have reached a bottleneck.
Take medicine whenever possible. If one medicine is not enough, take two or three pills... As long as you take enough, you can always make a breakthrough!"
"Is this the way of Waidan?" As a professional, Du Xin showed a little pensive look, "But... even if it is the way of Waidan, what Waidan can only provide is Taoism and magic power, and the cultivation of the soul is the same.
You have to rely on yourself..."
"Times have changed. We didn't have humanity at that time, and we didn't have any Taoist ancestors!" Jasmine said nonchalantly, "Each era is different. In the ancient times, the human monks all regarded themselves as monsters in their cultivation.
In the end, it will turn into a great monster
A powerful existence named Ancestral God. But in our era, there are very few monks who continue the path of Ancestral God... If there is an ancient Ancestral God who lives to our era, when he communicates and discusses with the monks of our era
, both of us will probably feel very puzzled.”
Du Xin was still deep in thought, but Wu Jie couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Although Jasmine is usually very unreliable, she has trained with the Supreme Lord after all, and her vision is indeed very high due to her influence.
While he and Du Xin were still thinking about the difference between the techniques of the two eras and why there were almost polar opposites, Jasmine had naturally skipped over this difference.
In her opinion, this is the difference between the times. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. It's just that every era has its own cultivation methods that suit it.
In Jasmine's era, the path to the ancestral gods had been basically cut off; and in this era, no one cares about Jasmine's path at that time.
This is the change of the times. When viewed from the height of hundreds of millions of years, let alone a mere monk, even the entire world of cultivation is just a picture scroll that is constantly turning over!
What is the purpose of the monks' cultivation? Isn't it just to transcend time and life and death, walk out of the river of time, and transform from beings in the picture to leisurely bystanders outside the picture?
After thinking about this, his heart was slightly shaken, and he felt as if a door had been opened, and his thoughts suddenly became much clearer.
Although this wonderful clear state only existed for a short time, it was this short time that gave him a deeper understanding of the Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa he practiced. This set of exercises is not
Complete! The entire content of Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa talks about how to improve one's cultivation, how to fight the enemy, how to sharpen through battle, and then further improve - it is like a large encyclopedia of combat, the entire chapter
All are related to combat.
As for the issue of how to sharpen the Taoist heart, it is almost completely not mentioned in the Fire Department Zhengfa. Probably for those heavenly fighting gods who can go through countless battles without being confused, they will naturally have a strong and thorough Taoist heart, and there is no need for additional
targeted training.
This is completely different from Qingyang Guan's Taishang Jiuzhuan Dan Jing. The Jiuzhuan Dan Jing is closely connected with Taishang Tianzhen theory. On the one hand, it uses fate as the fire, encounters as the furnace, and itself as the elixir, which is repeatedly refined;
On the other hand, by constantly analyzing the mind and constantly getting rid of distracting thoughts, the Taoist heart will continue to progress.
The two complement each other to form the complete Taishang Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra.
Wu Jie doesn't know which of the two paths is better, but he can say with confidence that compared to the path of constant analysis and introspection in the Taishang Nine Transformations Alchemy Sutra, he indeed prefers the fighting path of Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa.
.
A truly strong man will eventually grow up in battle!
