After bidding farewell to Yang Cheng, Jiang Xin returned to the dormitory with a frown.
The initial production of the fire-proofing beads ended in failure, but this was not bad news in an absolute sense.
From the birth of this semi-finished product, it can be seen that there may be some commonalities between weapon refining and clay sculpture, and some of these hidden commonalities have been discovered by Jiang Xin unintentionally.
Failure is the mother of success, not to mention that Jiang Xin had already touched the edge of success. Referring to some changes in the manufacturing process of the Fire Bead, Jiang Xin quickly determined the next experimental method.
The failure of the fire-proofing bead was manifested in its lack of performance. Its expanded fire-proofing area could not meet Jiang Xin's needs, but its function had already met Jiang Xin's requirements, and even had some additional performances.
The performance of the fire prevention function means that the direction of Jiangxin is correct. It is like using a machine tool to process a hollow pipe. The processing direction is correct, but the operating steps or the machine tool itself are unqualified, resulting in the inability to produce the results expected by Jiangxin.
While thinking about the possible mistakes in the production process, Jiang Xin looked inside the Pihuo Pearl again.
Once the magic weapon is completed, there is almost no room for change, but by feeding it with Qi for a long time, it is still possible to improve some of the abilities of the magic weapon itself, and even if it cannot be improved, it can still be fixed from Qi.
Some deficiencies were found in the structure.
Ordinary people making weapons is just like a craftsman making a unique handicraft work. In addition to using fixed formulas, each one has a unique performance, but Jiang Xin is different.
The magic weapon born in his hands is more similar to a composition born under the scientific induction method. Through continuous analysis of its internal fine structure and multiple combinations of production techniques, Jiang Xin tried to obtain it in a more convenient and controllable way.
The finished instrument.
The former may be more spiritual in a sense, but spirituality still depends on the person. Even in a village like Yangjiacun that has been passed down for hundreds of years, from time to time there will be two people who only care about the ability to reshape images and not care about spirituality.
people.
A magic weapon is essentially a tool with special abilities that can provide users with more convenient abilities. As long as the tool is easy to use, the word spirituality should not appear in Jiang Xin's opinion.
With the unique ability of the weapon refiner, Jiang Xin quickly saw the situation of the fire-proofing bead.
Just like what Jiang Xin had considered before, metal wires that are extremely suitable for the circulation of Yuan Qi are used as the skeleton to support the entire fire bead. The circulation speed and loss of Yuan Qi in it are much lower than those of other magic weapons, making it possible
Driven by the Qi breath, extraordinary speed and an extremely stable fire-proofing field are erupted.
But an embarrassing situation occurred that Jiang Xin had not thought carefully about before.
In the cave, the old man once talked about his idea of ​​using Yuan Qi to expel a large amount of special qualities from the utensils to construct materials that are extremely suitable for the circulation of Yuan Qi.
Perhaps because Jiang Xin tried again later and achieved results, he thought Jiang Xin knew about it and did not tell Jiang Xin the consequences of doing so in detail. Now through the example of the Fire Pearl, Jiang Xin saw the consequences.
In a word, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.
The transparent nature of the metal wire allows Yuan Qi to flow in it at high speed, but precisely because it is too transparent, the characteristics that make the magic weapon truly function cannot be fully exerted.
At a glance, the red dots inside the Pihuo Bead are like stars, but only a small part are gathered in the lines to play a role, and more are distributed everywhere to watch the show, truly achieving one core to work and multiple cores to watch.
Jiang Xin intentionally wanted to use Yuan Qi to bring these qualities together into the Metal Path Rebellion so that they could work, but this was obviously not shown.
There are only two position states on a trait - 'inside' and 'outside'.
When Jiang Xin uses Yuan Qi to change the position, its status begins to change to the "outside" until it suddenly appears in the outside world at a certain moment.
The rapid flow of Yuan Qi on the metal path can produce a unique force that slowly attracts those qualities, but the speed is too slow, slow enough for Jiang Xin to make a real magic weapon.
After thinking about it, Jiang Xin stood up and chose to go to Tang Tomb again.
"Master, take a look at this." After meeting the old man again, Jiang Xin taught him the Fire Bead: "I used some other methods to make this thing that is similar to a magic weapon. I want you to take a look."
"Something similar to a magic weapon?" The old man put down his work and took the fire-proofing bead in his hand with some curiosity. He looked at it carefully for a while before raising his head: "It's a good idea, but this thing is considered useless.
"
"Can you tell me the specific reason?" After hearing what the old man said, Jiang Xin immediately asked: "I don't have enough knowledge to see where the problem is."
"At this time, because you studied for too short a time, you simply couldn't remember all the knowledge." The old man said, "It's also my fault. I only taught you basic and difficult things, but you forgot such common sense things.
I told you."
Putting the fire-proofing bead on the table, the old man took out a Guanyuan from his pocket and put it in Jiang Xin's hand: "Look carefully and see the difference between my magic weapon and the fire-proofing bead you made."
Jiang Xin lowered her head and was silent for a while, then felt a little strange: "It doesn't seem to be any different?"
"Use Qi."
Jiang Xin heard it and activated it with his breath. The next moment, a red dot symbolizing his position appeared on the dark screen. After taking a closer look, Jiang Xin understood the mystery: "All the characteristics
Are they all gathered together in the pathway to play a role?”
"That's right." The old man nodded: "I told you from the beginning that traits are extremely important and are the foundation of magic weapons, but you just didn't listen, and you added a trait-free element into this bead.
of waste.”
"Materials without special qualities are far superior to other materials in terms of aura affinity, but the reason why no one uses them is because they think they are missing an important function."
"What function?"
"Introduction." The old man chuckled: "The characteristics walking everywhere are like the candle oil of the candle, Yuan Qi is like the spark, and the path is the candle wick. With this candle wick, the flame has the meaning of existence. Those candles
Only oil can work."
"No matter how fierce the Qi Qi flow in your fire beads is, if you don't have a wick that can be ignited, what's the use of it?"
"Although it also emits 'light and fire', its meaning is completely different."
Jiang Xin pondered for a moment: "So the solution is to change the composition of the metal wires?"
"Not entirely." The old man chuckled: "If you are really free, you can make the metal wire on it even thinner and denser, and then the bead will be able to perform the functions you want.
"
Hearing the joke in the old man's words, Jiang Xin smiled sarcastically: "That's not like using a musket to burn candle oil. That's not okay."
"It's good to know." The old man said and threw the beads to Jiang Xin again, and then turned around and walked inside: "You kid, just wait here for a little longer today, and I will give you all the common sense knowledge.
Let's talk about it carefully so that you don't get sidetracked again."
"You are lucky this time. If you leave the Tang Sect, it will not be easy to find another weapon refiner to teach you these common sense lessons."
Hearing what the old man said, Jiang Xin just smiled, and then sat calmly and listened to his story.
He thought that there might be a problem with some of the techniques used to create the Fire-Proofing Bead this time, but he never expected that the path that seemed to allow the Fire-Proofing Bead to emit stronger power was the root cause of everything.
In the refining process, the basic knowledge is similar to how to distinguish the live and neutral wires from the switch, etc., and common sense is that people cannot reach out and touch the 220-volt switch.
The former still requires learning knowledge, while the latter is the accumulation of common consensus. Jiang Xin's improvement in weapon refining gave the old man a slight misunderstanding, and he forgot to teach him the common sense of "not touching the switch".
But not long after leaving, Jiang Xin reached out to touch the switch.
Fortunately, things are not really like reaching out to touch the switch. Now I can still spend some time to make up for these missing things.
In the dormitory, Yang Cheng was separated from Jiang Xin, but he did not continue to sleep. Instead, under the stimulation of Jiang Xin, he tried the possibility of clay sculpture again, and the first experimental direction was what Jiang Xin had mentioned to him before.
Too much use of inner demons.
Over the past few years, the village has proven to Yang Cheng that it is basically impossible to suppress the inner demons, and the progress of controlling the inner demons is also slow. Using the power of the inner demons to achieve one's own goals may be a new direction.
.
With this thought in his mind, Yang Cheng reached out and took out some materials from the box and started making it.
Inner demons are invisible and intangible, even more elusive than those false thoughts. However, after several years of getting along with each other, Yang Chengbie did not dare to say that he still knew how to draw out inner demons. After just a few minutes,
The inner demons were everywhere, and Yang Cheng's temperament suddenly changed.
Violence, impatience, worry, laziness, all kinds of emotions were born in Yang Cheng's heart like rootless water, preventing him from continuing to move forward on the path of spiritual practice.
Faced with the interference of inner demons that would cause an ordinary Qi practitioner to lose balance and riot, Yang Cheng just took a deep breath, then focused his attention on the mud in his hand, and began to slowly use it on it.
Kneading, kneading, pinching, dishing, sticking, plus digging, drilling, carving, scraping, and dotting with the carving pen tool. Although Yang Cheng's aura seemed to be that of a man on the verge of going crazy, his eyes remained unchanged.
A little bright color gathered on the brown mud on his hands.
Since the first time his inner demons appeared, both he personally and the village had asked him to suppress his inner demons as much as possible to prevent him from completely falling one day. This time, it was the second time that he had put his inner demons into his hands.
The devil is completely released from the prison.
As the inner demon's arrogance became more and more arrogant, some Tang Sect disciples who were good at catching changes in emotions and thoughts walking outside the house seemed to have noticed something, but they could not find the source of the problem and finally just turned around and left.
The Qi breath, which became fluctuating under the influence of the inner demon, flowed through Yang Cheng's meridians, and then came out of Yang Cheng's hands like a shark smelling the smell of blood, continuously infecting the clay sculptures in his hands.
Little by little, the details of the clay sculptures in Yang Cheng's hands became more and more vivid, and the transformation of the clay sculptures by his Qi breath became more and more profound. But the moment he stopped writing with eyes full of energy, he was restless.
The inner demon's breath suddenly rolled back like a little devil who had finished causing trouble.
A bang and a soft sound broke into Yang Cheng's ears. Looking at the clay sculpture in his hand that was damaged due to the sudden change in the nature of the Qi breath, Yang Cheng fell into silence, and then locked away most of the inner demons that wanted to emerge again.
"Failed..." Looking at the clay sculpture in his hand that could only be regarded as an ordinary handicraft, Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "The inner demon comes from my mind. I am it, but it is not me. I want to use his power.
, I must first transcend my own will..."
Maybe some people can do something beyond their own thinking, but it is still a bit difficult for Yang Cheng now.
Various Jing Gong contemplation methods may be of some help to him, but the possibility is not very high. Jing Gong can still make people feel peaceful and comfortable in the end. This is actually an idea that Yang Cheng had envisioned before to control and restrain inner demons.
But with inner demons standing in the way, the relationship between the two becomes a closed loop. Practicing meditation can restrain the inner demons. The inner demons' turbulence makes people unstable and makes it difficult to practice. For Yang Cheng, this level is achieved once he has passed it.
There is no such thing as getting started.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng put aside the fully formed clay sculpture in his hand: "The direction should be feasible, but there are many requirements. Maybe he has some better suggestions."
After thinking about it, Yang Cheng stood up and left: "I remember that the Tang Sect seems to have a method of understanding. I'll go and ask about it. Maybe it can give me some reference."
Half a day later, Jiang Xin left Tangzhong with satisfaction. This time, he had completed many basic tasks. But before he had gone far, he heard a noisy voice: "Have you heard?
Some people have become obsessed with cultivation."
"Obsessed?" One person's tone was full of surprise: "Is it the kind of obsession in the novel? Is it possible that he practiced meditation to eliminate the problem?"
"It doesn't seem to be a problem with Jing Gong." One person said, "I heard there was a lot of commotion over there, and someone has already passed by."
"How about we go over and have a look?"
"Are you stupid? Let's not mention whether you have completed your homework today. What if someone really invades your body and hurts you?"
Upon hearing this, the person who suggested joining in the fun immediately became silent.
Jiang Xin's face changed slightly when she heard the discussion of several people. When she heard the word "obsessed", Jiang Xin subconsciously thought of Yang Cheng who was haunted by inner demons, and couldn't help but murmured in her heart: "Don't really do it to me.
It's hard for me to explain if you go crazy and become possessed."
Chapter completed!
