As a sect that specializes in assassinations, the Tang Sect has several things that are crucial in the sect, one of which is the last trump card - the Poisonous Elixir.
One is the ability to switch between hiding and running wild, and it is also a five-treasure body protection method based on poison and energy and earth and wood flow pillars.
The only remaining one is the phantom body barrier. By relying on this method, the Tang Sect's assassins can bypass the heavy protection around the target like an invisible man, smoothly take the head among the thousands of troops, and then leave calmly.
He had the elixir bite, and he also memorized the Five Treasures Body Protection Technique and the Earth Wood Flowing Pillar. The reason for this was that he had never seen anyone use the phantom body barrier before, so he couldn't use it.
But now that Tang Miaoxing has let go, it means that even if it fails this time, Jiang Xin may obtain this ability in other possible ways in the future.
The ability of the phantom body barrier actually overlaps to a certain extent with Jiang Xin's current concealment ability, but in addition to the overlap, it also has an ability that Jiang Xin does not have - phantom body.
The ability to achieve 'invisibility' is not too many, but it is also quite a lot. However, when it comes to being able to leave a phantom in place to confuse others, and then quietly approaching the target to complete the assassination, this ability is truly unique.
At least Jiang Xin has never seen it.
If he could obtain the Phantom Body Barrier and merge it with his own abilities again, Jiang Xin believed that his abilities could be improved again. By then, he might be more like an assassin than these people from the Tang Sect.
But before that, he still needed to wait quietly for a few days.
Returning to her dormitory, Jiang Xin took out the garden she made by herself from her pocket.
Refining weapons is something that takes a lot of time and attention. Even if Jiang Xin's qualifications and skills are excellent, she still can't do what the magic machine can do.
If the Eight Magic Skills are the ultimate display of Qi training methods such as Qimen, witchcraft, weapon refining, etc., then the Yuan Qi in Jiang Xin's body corresponds to the Baijia Yi.
Only good materials can be used to learn Baijia Yi, and Jiang Xin's Yuan Qi not only makes him a good material for learning Baijia Yi, but also allows him to master and master Baijia Yi faster than ordinary people.
However, there are specializations in the arts, and Jiang Xin Yuanqi's specialization is broad rather than deep. Although Jiang Xin successfully learned to refine weapons by relying on his own talent, he is still within the scope of normal people.
Time and energy are still important constraints that restrict him. He can refine weapons, but he cannot just grab a handful of sand and complete the transformation of objects into objects in a few minutes like Shenji Bailian.
It took Jiang Xin nearly a day to complete the transformation of a flying knife, which was more than dozens of times more than a hundred times of divine machine refining, not to mention the already difficult field of weapon refining.
Jiang Xin's Guanyuan has reached the penultimate step, but even this seemingly smooth penultimate step has taken him several days without significant progress. If he continues at the current speed, he will
It will take at least one or two months to complete the worship of the garden.
Is Jiang Xin the kind of person who can watch the progress bar slowly move for a month or two? Obviously not!
It would only take a month or two if you followed the rules, and it would only take another month or two if you didn't follow the routine. When the finished product could not be obtained in a short period of time, Jiang Xin came up with a bold idea.
The Yang family's method can turn mud into clay sculptures with strange abilities, while the weapon refiner can turn metal, wood, and stone into magic weapons. The starting points of the two are similar, and the results obtained are similar. Will the steps be the same?
What do the dots have in common?
Even if he made a black statue and a white statue, it only took him less than a day. If they could learn from each other, wouldn't it be possible to greatly shorten the time required for refining weapons?
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xin quickly put it into practice.
A human statue requires a special method to construct a complete structure similar to the human body's meridians in its body. At the same time, certain changes must be made to the material structure that makes up the 'flesh'. The final result is that the statue has Qi energy all over its body.
trace.
As for non-human statues, Jiang Xin's previous Zhaodun statues are used as examples. Although they do not have complete meridians, they still have the most basic core and a transmission network with similar meridian functions.
Then the earth and stone composed of it are still built into a special structure by Qi, so that it can cooperate with the core and network to use abilities such as flying.
There is a certain similarity with statues and those alchemical products in the West. There are also cores and lines with the same functions in the magical artifacts. The former is responsible for receiving the user's Qi and converting it, while the latter allows the Qi to circulate for exertion.
Develop various abilities.
Similar to how Taoists use different talismans to display different abilities, the importance of the lines in the magical artifacts is comparable to the meridian diagrams in clay sculptures.
The meridian skeleton of the Yang family's clay sculptures is completely made according to the human body, so it can show different abilities according to the different flow patterns of Qi in the meridians. This is also true for weapon refining.
However, unlike the human clay sculpture, which is a reference method, weapon refining basically relies on the mind of the weapon refining master. They have to think about the possible combinations of different textures and characteristics in advance.
And Jiang Xin is stuck at this step now. Compared with the birth of clay sculpture, this thing may take less time, but it consumes more mental energy. Calculating this thing is nerve-wracking.
So he planned to use some other methods to complete the weapon refining.
Unlike metal plastics, soil is not only available everywhere, but also has plasticity and a certain degree of toughness after drying, so it is the best material for clay sculptures.
But if some other means can be used, metal and plastic can actually show the same characteristics as soil, being malleable and becoming tough after being blown by the wind.
And this means is temperature.
In the West, Jiang Xin learned a method of controlling temperature from Gill. Although it was only used in some superficial ways, by integrating it with Zhihu, Jiang Xin was able to condense lower-temperature ice and hotter ice.
flame.
The flame in Jiang Xin's hand was still a ball of orange-red, but it was just an ordinary flame. If Jiang Xin used all his strength, the temperature of the flame could break through to about two thousand degrees, reaching the level of alchemy and molten iron.
Gold and iron can be melted under a thousand-degree flame, not to mention the plastics that can be seen everywhere in daily life.
Using mind power as the furnace and flame as the base, Jiang Xin turned the footbath in the room into a fluid, high-temperature liquid in just ten seconds.
Maintaining the temperature of the flame, shaping the plastic liquid with mind power, and at the same time transforming the plastic liquid using the techniques of refining tools and statues. This is no longer a dual-purpose state, and even Jiang Xin can't bear it.
In order to reduce the burden on his mind as much as possible, Jiang Xin could only give up shaping the plastic into something like a garden, and squeezed it with his mind from all directions, turning it into a few round beads.
Plastic is different from ice. Once it melts, it turns into loose water. By controlling the temperature changes, Jiang Xin can keep the plastic liquid at a point where it requires external force to be squeezed before it deforms.
In this way, he could make some movements inside the plastic beads.
Clay sculptures use soil as flesh and blood, and vegetation as the bones of the meridians. But what Jiang Xin is facing now is a high-temperature plastic bead. When vegetation cannot be used, Jiang Xin chooses to use metal wires as the construction carrier of the 'meridians'.
Of course, pure metal wire without any modification obviously did not meet Jiang Xin's needs, so he used Yuan Qi's ability to turn it into a piece of pure material that did not have any special qualities and fit Yuan Qi's incomparably well.
.
Using this metal wire that was extremely suitable for the flow of Jiang Xin's Yuan Qi as the 'meridians' and the hot-melted plastic as the 'flesh and blood', Jiang Xin quickly completed the first step - shaping.
Then, keeping the external environment unchanged, Jiang Xin then used the method obtained from Lian Qishan to conduct a targeted analysis of the characteristics of the plastic ball, carefully screened its internal characteristics, and got what he wanted.
the result of.
Using tool refining methods to transform the inner microcosms of plastics and metals, and using sculpture techniques to shape the outer structure of the plastic ball. This seemingly inconspicuous plastic ball is like a big pot, with many abilities mixed into it and stewed together.
stand up.
Unknowingly, time began to pass quickly. When Jiang Xin stopped moving because the energy in her body was almost exhausted, a bead with an extremely smooth surface fell into Jiang Xin's hand.
Because it has been transformed by Qi practitioners, the weight of the plastic beads is completely different from the volume it shows, like a solid stone, and it also has a constant warmth on the surface.
After a little recovery of energy in her body, Jiang Xin re-entered the inside of the plastic bead. Looking at the complicated lines, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes: "This should be considered a success, right?"
After thinking for a while, he looked up at the pale sky outside the window, then opened the door and walked to the training ground.
Whoosh-bang-
A minute later, the sky-blue beads broke the branch not far away in just an instant. If you look closely, you will see a little black carbonization sign at the broken part of the branch, as if it was burned by high temperature.
"High temperature..." Jiang Xin looked at the bead in his hand and pondered for a moment: "I remember that my planned refining direction was to turn it into a fire-preventing bead, but now it seems that it is a bit reversed?"
With a little guess in his mind, Jiang Xin drove the beads again, and then started a regular circular motion with Jiang Xin as the center in a radius of five meters.
It was not obvious at first, but as the speed continued to increase, the wind noise gradually became one. Finally, a series of faint red lines appeared in the air, and then as if some kind of valve was opened, a diameter of
A ten-meter ring of fire instantly erupted around Jiang Xin, and the scorching tongues of fire killed the grass on the ground with just one breath.
But looking at the ring of fire, Jiang Xin was not satisfied, because it was a huge deviation from his expectations and efforts.
She frowned and left. Not long after, Jiang Xin pulled Yang Cheng over, stretched out her hand and threw the beads into his hands: "This is my new finished product. It should be able to withstand flames. I want you to try it."
"Should???" Yang Cheng looked confused, but he still took the bead in his hand, and then poured Qi Qi into it to fully activate it. The next moment, Jiang Xin sprayed a flame at Yang Cheng.
call--
A roar of fierce flames continued, and it was not until more than ten seconds later that Jiang Xin retracted his hand and saw Yang Cheng, who had activated the body-protecting Qi shield on his body: "What's wrong, the fire-preventing beads didn't take effect?"
"It has taken effect." Yang Cheng threw the bead to Jiang Xin again without saying anything: "But your bead recognizes people and only protects yourself and not me."
"A circular area of ​​five centimeters with this bead as the center can ward off fire. If it exceeds this area, it will not care. This thing of yours is really a crooked way, and it is useless."
"Only to protect itself?" Jiang Xin was also a little surprised, and put it back into Yang Cheng's hand: "Here, let me experiment again."
A few minutes later, Jiang Xin looked at the Fire Bead held in the air by Yang Cheng. She stretched out her hand and a flame shot out. Just like what Yang Cheng said before, with the Fire Bead as the center of the circle, five flames shot out.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking the flames. Once this distance was exceeded, it would no longer have any effect.
Putting away the fire-proofing beads again, Jiang Xin pondered: "The combination of the weapon refining and the statue should be a success, but it is only a limited success."
"It was originally expected that the fire-proofing bead could be used as a first-level means of resisting flames, but now it can only defend itself against flame attacks in a limited area, and at the same time trigger flames when it attacks the enemy."
"Although its demonstrated abilities are all related to fire, if we really want to count them, this attempt should have failed. There should be some problems in the method."
Seeing that Jiang Xin was silent while looking at the Pihuo Bead, Yang Cheng became a little curious: "This bead of yours doesn't feel like a clay sculpture. Why? Is this a magic weapon you refined?"
"It's not a magical weapon." Jiang Xin shook his head: "It takes at least one or two months to refine the magical weapon. This thing is a new attempt, but the final result is somewhat different from what I expected."
Hearing Jiang Xin's answer, Yang Cheng suddenly thought: "You don't combine the methods of weapon refining and clay sculpture, do you?"
"Almost." Jiang Xin nodded: "But now it seems that it has failed."
After looking at the beads on Jiang Xin's hand, and then looking at Jiang Xin carefully, Yang Cheng's eyes changed, and finally he could only spit out two words: "Monster!"
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Xin's reaction.
Most techniques in the world progress from the shallower to the more advanced, and this is no different for weapon refining and clay sculpture. Usually those who can make changes in their skills are veterans who have studied for more than ten years, but Jiang Xin broke this convention.
Just a few days after mastering the weapon refining, he combined other statues to create something like the fire-proofing bead. Even though it was a failure in terms of its expected function, it was enough to make people raise eyebrows.
Having seen many things from Jiang Xin that were contrary to his knowledge, Yang Cheng felt that he had become a lot more nervous, but he was still a little worried now.
His ability to practice and study in the Tang Sect led to some research breakthroughs in clay sculpture, but Jiang Xin once again threw him away. He had fully realized the meaning of the sentence "There are differences between people"
