The bright moon is in the sky, and the bright moonlight spreads all over the earth, making the wisps of spiritual mist become even more misty.
In a bamboo forest behind the cave, the green bamboos exude a faint fragrance. There are even some spiritual bamboos that have grown for who knows how many years under the abundant spiritual energy of Jin'ao Island. They are hundreds of feet tall.
As thick as a hug, the bamboo joints are actually purple-gold.
In the bamboo forest, a small stream only about two feet deep flows slowly, and a group of small fish no more than half the size of a palm swims happily. The entire bamboo forest is filled with a natural and peaceful atmosphere.
Until a little fat hand quickly picked up a dozen small fish from the water, suddenly breaking the peaceful atmosphere here.
This group of fish, which had never been in danger before, quickly fled in all directions. Some even broke free from the shackles of the magic in He Ling'er's palm, jumped up to a height of ten feet, fled back into the water, and disappeared in an instant.
He Ling'er happily handed the fish to Qi Yi, and the two began to prepare a pot of delicious fish soup.
The scales of this kind of fish are small and soft, so there is no need to scrape them, and the meat is extremely delicious without any fishy smell. The taste is smooth and tender, and it melts in the mouth. Because it is not big, it is more suitable for making fish soup.
Paired with freshly picked bamboo shoots and wild mushrooms from the bamboo forest, a pot of fragrant fish soup is freshly prepared in just a few moments.
But compared to them, Qi Yuan on the side was even more embarrassing.
He was carrying a dragon-eared rabbit, peeling off the skin and removing the internal organs. Soon, the dragon-eared rabbit, which weighed twenty or thirty kilograms, was chopped into inches-sized pieces with a newly made kitchen knife.
Meat cubes.
The Dragon-eared Rabbit is a strange beast with some dragon blood. It is much larger than ordinary rabbits, runs extremely fast, and is good at controlling the wind.
Especially the pair of slender dragon ears, which have extremely developed hearing and will run away at the slightest disturbance.
If Qi Yuan hadn't recently been particularly fond of this kind of long-eared rabbit and had specially set several traps, this thing would have been really hard to catch.
It has been more than a month since Qi Yuan came to Jin'ao Island. Ever since he last mentioned to Zhao Gongming that he wanted to learn the art of weapon refining, Zhao Gongming no longer just lectured him and solved his doubts, but also took some time to teach him every day.
Various skills.
Not only the art of refining weapons, but also various skills such as wrapping pill arrays and talismans are taught.
Qi Yuan once curiously asked Zhao Gongming, what are the rumors about practicing various arts?
Because he was really curious about what else could be called cultivation skills besides the pill array and talismans.
Zhao Gongming told him that Baiyi is just a general reference to various skills other than cultivation, just like the fifty-fifty Dao and the forty-nine Tianyan, which are just expressions of a concept.
In the prehistoric world, the most common skills are alchemy, formation, weapon refining, talisman painting, and divination.
In addition, there are also some things such as machine puppets, animal taming and control, ghost control and corpse refining, Feng Shui assessment, exploring spiritual veins, etc.
Each skill is also divided into many categories. For example, in alchemy, you need to know how to distinguish and match various elixirs. If there is no elixir, if you go to the wild to find and pick it, you need to understand the growth of various elixirs.
environment,
If you grow your own elixir, you need to know how to cultivate, prune, pick, preserve and other details.
In short, all skills that are not in line with the Dao are just a means to enhance one's own strength. You should not put the cart before the horse and delay your own practice because of these skills.
It is said that one should be versed in all kinds of arts but specialize in one, and one should not be greedy for too much. Therefore, what Jie Jiao is best at is the art of formations.
At present, what Zhao Gongming teaches him are some entry-level things, just to let him understand more. More advanced things will not be taught, at least only after Qi Yuan has achieved immortality.
Otherwise, no matter how much you learn these things, you will not become an immortal, and your life will come to an end, and it will not be in vain in the end.
Because Qi Yuan possesses Xinhuo, he quickly masters alchemy and weapon refining, and has already started to get started.
After all, with the help of firewood, he has a very fine grasp of the temperature of the fire. The only problem is the various techniques and the combination of materials. However, the best way to improve these skills is to practice more, practice makes perfect.
As for the formation and talisman techniques, they are still in the learning stage and are far from the time to make them themselves.
What troubles Qi Yuan the most is divination. Until now, he has not had a clue. He is overwhelmed by the various hexagrams and divination every day.
Jin'ao Island is a dojo opened by the leader of Tongtian Cult personally. There are countless kinds of spiritual herbs, elixirs, heavenly materials, earthly treasures and rare minerals.
Of course, there is no one who really knows how to mine on Jin'ao Island, but even if he randomly picks up some ores in the mountains, it will be enough for him to waste materials in various ways to improve his weapon refining skills.
The spatulas and knives he is currently using are the result of his study of weapon refining during this period. Although they can only be regarded as the lowest level of magic weapons and do not have much function, they are enough for cooking.
Compared with his rapidly improving weapon refining skills, alchemy skills are much inferior. After wasting many elixirs, he has only made a few crooked Qi-nourishing pills so far.
Bixiao once laughed at his elixir that seemed to have no formal shape.
However, there are countless elixirs on Jin'ao Island anyway, so it's nothing if he wastes some low-level elixirs.
At least Qi Yuan didn't feel the slightest shame for his wasteful behavior. He often took Qi Yi, He Ling'er and the two to wander around the nearby hills, and when they encountered suitable common elixirs, they picked them back and practiced them.
Qi Yuan was thinking about something in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving. He washed and drained the rabbit meat in a flowing motion, and used firewood to heat the newly made Ruyi pot.
This so-called Ruyi Pot was made by him according to the shape of the wok of later generations. Because the Sumeru Forbidden Technique was used during the sacrifice, so for now it only has the function of making it large or small.
Other items including pots and pans, kitchen knives, spatulas, spoons, etc. were also made by him using the Xumi Forbidden Method.
Originally, Bixiao wanted to help him when he was refining the weapon.
However, after Qi Yuan said that he wanted a pot that could hold the size of Kunpeng, Bixiao angrily took out the Qiankun Ruler and punched two big bags on his head, and then left.
At present, there is only one Kunpeng in Beiminghai in the prehistoric world. He is one of the few powerful men under the Hunyuan Saint who listened to the teachings of Taoist Hongjun in the Zixiao Palace like the Master of Tongtian. Qi Yuan actually dares to pay this attention. It is purely
Seeking death!
Besides, she has no ability to refine a magic weapon of this level. Isn't this making things difficult for her?
Without the help of Master Bixiao, Qi Yuan had no choice but to work hard on his own, and in the end it could only be regarded as a magic weapon.
But this was originally used for cooking, and Qi Yuan doesn't have many requirements now.
After all the moisture in the rabbit meat is fried and changes color, other seasonings and salt are added. Within a moment, a strange fragrance will waft out.
A flash of green light flashed, and Bixiao's familiar voice came: "Ha, I knew you were stealing food again, nephew, and you were caught by me again, uncle!"
