In the secret room on the sixth floor of Baoling Zhai of Huayang Family, Dayang County, this is Huayang Runhai's private refining room. At this time, in the refining room, an old man in black was explaining the knowledge of alchemy to a young man.

The boy listened very carefully, and when he heard the highlights, he would use notes to make two sentences.

The art of refining weapons originated in ancient times, and it is a kind of tool-making technique explored by the ancient powerful people according to the method of heaven and earth to conceive all things. At first, it was to facilitate farming and production, and later to facilitate hunting and killing monsters. At first, the art of alchemy was able to produce common artifacts, such as scythes, axes, basins, bowls, ropes, etc.

As the Almighty's perception of the Heavenly Dao became deeper and deeper, he also discovered many innate spiritual treasures between heaven and earth. Imitating the innate spiritual treasures, the powerful ones endow spiritual power into the utensils. Some artifacts have a bonus effect after giving spiritual power, while some artifacts will reduce their original function after giving spiritual power. After thousands of years of research, the mighty can finally summarize different refining methods. This is the art of refining, and it is also the different factions of refining.

Fang Ze listened to Huayang Runhai's narration and had doubts in his heart. These mighty people also came from the agrarian age? So what were they before the agrarian age? Could it be that they were born wise? Or did they gradually go from barbarism to civilization? Or ......

All kinds of questions appeared in Fang Ze's mind, if others heard such a legend, they would definitely sigh at the greatness of their ancestors. But Fang Ze is different, he is a person with experience in various lifetimes, and he has also received higher education in his previous life. For the strange power chaos, I didn't believe it at first. But now I have to believe that there are living examples here.

It's just that under the influence of education in the previous life, the spirit of doubt still exists, and everything can be doubted.

Huayang Runhai took out a palm-sized three-legged tripod, looked at Fang Ze and said, "If you want to become a refiner, the first thing you need to learn is to control your spiritual power. This thing is called the Palm Ding, and it is specially designed for the cultivation of refiners. ”

After saying that, Huayang Runhai handed his palm to Fang Ze. Fang Ze stretched out his hand to take it, and there was a cold and heavy feeling after entering it. Rotate and observe the palm of the hand, which is very similar to a normal bowl. There are only three tripods on the bottom of the bowl, and a groove like a handprint at the bottom of the bowl. I inserted my hand into the groove and played with it for a long time.

Huayang Runhai saw that Fang Ze was familiar with the general structure of the palm tripod, so he opened his mouth to introduce Fang Ze to the use of the palm tripod.

The palm tripod is a special magic weapon, which has the same structure as the refining heart tripod used by refiners. The only difference is that the palm tripod cannot be refined, and once the refining tool palm tripod will explode. There are three feet on the palm of the hand, which are open, closed, and adjusted. A normal-level high-level refiner doesn't need these three legs. Based on experience and the control of spiritual power, the material can be successfully smelted.

However, for novices, or refiners who do not have good control of spiritual power, such assistance is needed. Some materials change their properties with temperature, and sometimes they are just a little bit worse, and the material cannot be transformed. Or maybe it's just a second of heat, and the material changes again. Therefore, the design of this switch allows the material to be successfully refined to the greatest extent.

Fang Ze nodded, looked at Huayang Runhai, and said, "Master, what kind of refining weapon should it be?"

Huayang Runhai was talking energetically, and when Fang Ze asked him like this, he felt a little disappointed. Looking at the palm tripod in Fang Ze's hand, he said, "You first inject spiritual power into the palm tripod, and flames will be born in the tripod." Adjust the spiritual power under the ding to the maximum. The flame lasts one meter at a height, when it lasts for an hour, when it comes back to me. ”

After speaking, Huayang Runhai walked out of the refining room, and added before leaving: "I want to run if I don't learn to walk, young people are always so anxious, impetuous, and unable to hold their breath." ”

Looking at Huayang Runhai's back, Fang Ze was also a little innocent. He just wanted to ask, and he didn't mean anything else. Helplessly, let's start practicing first. Fang Ze wanted to see how difficult this little palm tripod could be?

The index finger touches the bottom of the open foot of the palm and gently presses it. There seems to be a spring in Dingzu, only to hear the sound of "pop", Dingzu is stuck in a certain position. Fang Ze tried to close his feet again, and there was also a mechanism. When the foot closure is pressed, the foot opening will automatically pop up.

"I didn't expect the cultivation world to have such an operation, I really want to admire the great wisdom of human beings. At any time, in any world, there can be the essence of human wisdom. Fang Ze thought like this, and opened the foot again.

The spiritual power slowly flowed out of the palm, controlling the direction of the spiritual power, and the spiritual power released was injected into the palm. With the influx of spiritual power, flames rose from the palm of the palm. The flames rose higher and higher as the spiritual power increased, and the dew drops in Fang Ze's body were decreasing one after another.

When the flames reached one meter, Fang Ze obviously felt that the spiritual power in his body was a little oversupplied. This is a very spiritual power-consuming object, spiritual power is like fuel, and only by constantly pouring inward can the normal operation of the palm tripod be maintained.

Fang Ze thought, "Do you want to give it enough at once, and then let it burn slowly." Thinking of it, Fang Ze released six drops of spiritual power in one fell swoop. The flames in the palm of his hand burst out of the ground, and Fang Ze tried to slow down the speed of releasing the spiritual power. What Fang Ze didn't expect was that the flame in the palm of his hand was slowly extinguished.

After trying several times, Fang Ze figured it out. The size of the flame in the palm of the hand is determined by the current spiritual power output. It's not like a furnace where you bet fuel and then burn slowly.

Finding out this, Fang Ze began to make careful calculations. Use spiritual power in batches and phases to maximize the use of spiritual power.

For the first time, Fang Ze released all the spiritual power in his body, and only then did he maintain the one-meter flame in his palm for twelve minutes.

Sitting cross-legged and meditating, Fang Ze recovered the spiritual power in his body. After practicing like this for an hour, Fang Ze had a bad feeling. If this feeling were to be placed on other people, it would definitely be considered a great thing. Because at this time, Fang Ze actually sensed the opportunity to break through. It seems that as long as you work hard, you will enter the two-star realm.

Fang Ze strongly suppressed the idea of breaking through, because all the academies accepted students, and only accepted monks below the two-star level. Once it breaks through the two-star, it means that you will have no chance with the academy in this life.

While suppressing the restlessness of spiritual power, he complained in his heart: "Your uncle, who sets the rules." Why can't you enter the academy in the two-star realm, it makes Lao Tzu work so hard. ”

The reason why the academy does not accept two-star students is because after the monks reach the two-star, the cultivation system is basically finalized. To change it, or to change it, is a great sacrifice. The academy will also put in a certain amount of energy, if you are from a big clan, you can also have complete cultivation guidance without entering the academy.

After two hours of strong suppression, Fang Ze finally broke up the feeling of breakthrough.

At this moment, Huayang Runhai pushed open the door. Seeing that Fang Ze was cultivating, and it was very hard. Then he asked out loud: "Apprentice, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Ze slowly opened his eyes and looked at Huayang Runhai who was standing at the door. He said, "Master, I'm fine. It was the feeling that I was going to break through just now, so I forcibly suppressed it. ”

Hearing Fang Ze's answer, Huayang Runhai felt like a fantasy. Others can't ask for this kind of breakthrough opportunity. Fang Ze still had to forcibly suppress it now, Huayang Runhai asked with concern: "Apprentice, why are you doing this? Is there anything you can't think of, if you have one, tell the master, don't wronged yourself." ”

Fang Ze looked at Huayang Runhai's eyes, like looking at a fool. Fang Ze's mind was full of black lines, and he was speechless in his heart. After a long while, Fang Ze confided the truth to his master.

Fang Ze said: "Master, I am now the strength of the one-star late stage Xiao Perfection. It may be that I had eaten too many pills before, and when I took the initiative to cultivate just now, I attracted the spiritual power hidden in my flesh and bones, so there were signs of a breakthrough. I'm planning to go to the academy next year, so I can't break through right now. ”

Hearing Fang Ze's explanation, Huayang Runhai understood the whole story. Moved slightly, Huayang Runhai asked, "Are you going to take the academy exam?"

Fang Ze nodded, and then asked rhetorically: "Master, does my participation in the academy count as a betrayal of the master." ”

Huayang Runhai shook his head and continued to ask, "Which college are you going to go to?"

Fang Ze shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "I haven't chosen it yet, I feel that it's almost the same." ”

Hearing such a reply, Huayang Runhai stroked his beard and asked, "Do you have any information about the academy in your hand, show me." ”

Fang Ze took out the academy information that Gu Man had found for him from the ring, and he had only read this information once. The old man took the information in Fang Ze's hand, looked at it carefully, and commented on the academy from time to time.

Ziwei Courtyard is all women, not for you. Yuhengyuan is too stingy, too harsh on student disciples, and uncomfortable. The Beidou Temple is okay, but there are no powerful characters, and some mediocrity. There are a few characters in Tianxin Courtyard, but there are too many enemies and it is not safe. I haven't heard of it, and I don't think it's going to work. The old college of Tianfu Academy is just old in thinking, and it is difficult to have great development.

In a few words, Huayang Runhai denied all the six colleges in Qizhou. After listening to Huayang Runhai's words, Fang Ze complained bitterly in his heart. I thought to myself, "Master, I just plan to find an academy to play with, and I don't expect any great development from this academy." What should I do if you give me no directly? ”

Returning the information book to Fang Ze, Huayang Runhai asked again: "Do you have any favorites for these?" Fang Ze was helpless, and only said: "Master, I was still a little interested in a few of them." When you say that, I'm not interested at all. ”

When the old man heard Fang Ze's words, he smiled awkwardly. said: "So that's the case, that's not good for the teacher." Well, would it be good for you to recommend a college for your teacher?"

Fang Ze hurriedly said, "Okay, it's the same wherever you go." ”

The old man stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "Apprentice, this is very different, you think too superficially. ”
