ps: Today's first update is the beginning of a new day, I hope you will continue to support and ask for a monthly pass!

“？？？？”

Qi Xiang contacted Hai Gong on the software, and only a few minutes later, Hai Gong replied with a string of question marks. Obviously, Hai Gong was also a little surprised by Qi Xiang's active contact.

"Ask for advice." Qi Xiang is very direct.

“…… What the? Hai Gong was quite curious: "Say! ”

"Recently I had a strange incident." Qi Xiang typed quickly, briefly described what happened at the auction, Jane+++m, and then focused on the mysterious man: "He was wearing a red and black robe, rusted with gold threads, very gorgeous." By the way, he also wears a weird mask with a cross......"

“…… His strength is very strong, and with a casual finger, he can shield people's memories. ”

Qi Xiang described it in great detail, and finally asked, "Have you ever heard of a character like this?" ”

“……”

Qi Xiang waited for a long time, but Hai Gong did not answer, and fell into a strange silence.

“？”

After waiting for a long time, Qi Xiang was also a little impatient, frowned, and sent a question mark to the past, and then found that the avatar of Haigong's instant messaging software was dark, and it seemed to be offline.

At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone to take a look, and as expected, it was Haigong's call.

"Huh?" Qi Xiang answered easily: "Haigong? ”

"I'm Tian Shi......" Another voice came from the mobile phone: "Did you really meet that person?" ”

"I did, and I even lay in the hospital for a few days." Qi Xiang said truthfully: "That's why I want to ask you if you know what the other party is." ”

“…… Just listening to your description, we can't be sure. Tian Shi's voice was very cautious: "However, there is indeed a bit of speculation, and I dare not guarantee that it will be accurate." ”

"It's okay, you say." Qi Xiang listened carefully.

Tian Shi was silent for a moment before he spoke: "You...... Heard of ...... Ten directions. ”

"Ten Directions?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. Ten Directions! Tian Shi said in a deep voice: "If there is no accident, the person you met should be the most mysterious force in the cultivation world today. ”

"But this force usually acts very secretively, and it is a bit evil. Everyone can't figure out where they come from, but they just know that their strength is not small, and it is not easy to deal with ......"

Tian Shi explained: "Their members are dressed as you described, they are used to wearing red and black robes and cross-mark masks. to mask your true identity. ”

"All in all, this is a deeply hidden force, and everyone doesn't know much about them."

Tian Shi said truthfully: "So, we know these general news, and the specific situation can't help you." ”

"It's good to know that, thank you!"

Qi Xiang's eyes flickered, and after hanging up the phone. Silently groaned: "Ten directions, heaven and earth, southeast and northwest, life and death." Does the past and future encompass all things in the universe? ”

"What a big ambition ......"

After Qi Xiang sneered, he also had to face an embarrassing fact. Even if he now knows the enemy's line, he doesn't have enough strength to retaliate.

"At the end of the day. It's still the first in strength. ”

Qi Xiang returned to the bedroom and lined up the treasures in the secret safe.

This time. He no longer hesitated, and in the few days he spent in the hospital, he had already made up his mind and thought about how he should go on with his future cultivation.

In fact, during this period of time, Qi has not been idle, and has been studying the collection of Haigong and others. After comparative analysis, he found that although there were some differences in the details of the ancient and modern cultivation methods, the hierarchical division basically remained the same.

The first step is to build a foundation and enter the Dao, then refine and condense the qi, refine the qi and transform the gods, refine the gods and return the void, and finally refine the void and merge the Dao.

Of course, each sect and school has its own descriptions of the realm of cultivation. But in essence, it is all such a process, at most it is just a replacement of nouns, and a change of soup is not a change of medicine.

The word "foundation" is also called refining oneself.

The word self has two meanings.

The first way is to understand oneself, saying that refining oneself is to refine one's own treasure and lay a good foundation. The second is to say that oneself is one's own land, because oneself accepts the hexagram, which is the code name of the original god (also known as the true meaning of the heart).

Refining oneself and further extending it is the dual cultivation of life.

What is sexuality? The beginning is true, and a spirit is also bright. What is fate? Innate to fine, one breath is also.

To put it bluntly, sex refers to the spiritual consciousness of the mind; Life refers to vitality and energy. Therefore, the dual cultivation of life, also known as the cultivation of the god and the form, the combination of the original spirit and the body, closely connected, and indispensable.

However, there is also a problem of life before life, or life before sex.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the difference between these two philosophies also led to the split of some sects of practice. However, in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, these cultivation sects moved from division to merging.

Later generations analyzed and concluded that it was during the Yuan and Ming dynasties that the aura of heaven and earth became thinner and thinner, and it was on the verge of being cut off, and cultivators were no longer allowed to pick and choose. Whether it is the first cultivation of nature or the first cultivation of life, the cultivation of results is the last word.

Therefore, everyone abandoned the view of the portal, and the confluence naturally became a general trend.

By the Qing Dynasty, no matter what life the cultivation world had, as long as they could enter the Tao, no matter what the correct and evil methods were, they dared to try, which led to the rampant evil cults and the vigorous development of various folk religions.

Now, the path of initiation has become a moat, towering into the sky, blocking 99.999 out of 19.999 people from the threshold of the path of cultivation.

Judging from the current situation, as long as you can enter the Dao, don't say any evil methods, even magic, some people dare to try it. It is said that there are also people who have whimsical plans to transform themselves into vampire zombies and other beings.

At the beginning, Qi Xiang was in the library and was also taken aback after seeing this piece of information. I can't help but sigh, crazy everywhere, this brain hole is wide, end.

There are crazy years every year, especially in modern times......

Qi Xiang muttered in his heart, and his attention refocused on a few treasures. As his eyes wandered, his conviction became firmer: "That's it." ”

He was still hesitating, but the mysterious person at the auction made him soberly aware of it. The earth is really dangerous, even if he has a magic weapon to protect him, he may not be able to be safe.

encountered danger, and when he reacted, the gap between the sacrifice of the magic weapon was enough for the mysterious person to kill him several times.

After making up his mind, Qi Xiang did not hesitate, immediately went online, and then found a contact method. After he made the call, it was the next morning. I came to the place where I had made an appointment.

It was a metal smelter, a state institution, but its performance was not very good, the plant was a little dilapidated, and the workers were very scarce. Nuoda's factory, with only two machines turned on, rumbled faintly, and looked particularly depressed.

The one who greeted Qi Xiang was the deputy director of the factory.

The specifications of this reception. It's also very grand. For a small business, the deputy factory director can deign to accompany the customer. It can also be seen from this that the factory has become so bleak.

After seeing Qi Xiang, the deputy director was stunned. It is estimated that he was surprised by Qi Xiang's youth. However, after he was stunned, he showed a bright smile and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Qi, welcome." Welcome ......"

"Director Li." After knowing his name, Qi Xiang was also more polite: "I'm bothered." ”

"Where." Deputy Director Li said sincerely: "We wish that guests like you would come to the door to bother more." ”

That's the big truth. If there are no customers, no business, no orders, no money, dozens of people up and down the factory, drinking the northwest wind? Even if the factory is difficult, at least it can barely survive, and if it closes down, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this time, Qi Xiang smiled, looked left and right, and said, "Director Li, can you take me around?" ”

Deputy Director Li hesitated slightly, and then laughed at himself, what is there to hesitate, what is the current situation of the factory, it can be called clear at a glance, and it can't be covered up at all.

At that moment, Deputy Director Li nodded briskly and said, "Mr. Qi, please come with me." ”

Deputy Director Li was very wise and knew what Qi Xiang wanted to see, so he took him directly into the production line of the factory to visit the smelting process of metal.

Looking at the pieces of ore, after being screened and refined layer by layer, they are incinerated into a fiery red slurry, and finally mixed together and turned into pieces of alloy.

After a process, Qi Xiang nodded with satisfaction. Although this factory is a little dilapidated, there is still no problem with the technology, at least it is more professional and rigorous than the small workshop, which can meet his requirements.

Deputy Director Li looked at his face and found the smile on the corner of Qi Xiang's mouth, and his heart also settled down.

Why is he so enthusiastic and so nervous?

Of course, there are reasons for this, mainly because last night, when Qi Xiang contacted the factory, he had already paid 100,000 yuan to the account of the third party in advance, which was regarded as an advance deposit.

100,000 yuan is already a lot of profit for this small factory. Therefore, Deputy Director Li naturally hopes to retain a "big customer" like Qi Xiang.

After visiting for more than half an hour, Qi Xiang had a certain understanding of the factory's technology, and then under the guidance of Deputy Director Li, the two returned to the office to drink tea.

As soon as he sat down, Qi Xiang didn't sell it, and said straight to the point: "Director Li, I want to customize a thing, but I don't know if your factory can make it." ”

"I don't know what Mr. Qi wants to customize?" Deputy Director Li was very cautious and did not dare to boast about Haikou.

Qi Xiang appreciated this pragmatic attitude, and said bluntly at the moment: "I want to make a furnace!" ”

"Furnace?" Deputy Director Li was stunned for a moment, and didn't hear clearly: "What furnace?" ”

"Furnace, the furnace of ancient alchemy." Qi Xiang explained.

"What?" Deputy Director Li was immediately taken aback, greatly surprising him.

Qi Xiang smiled and said lightly: "What, can't you do it?" ”

“…… No! Deputy Director Li instantly sobered up and secretly scolded himself for being confused. If Qi Xiang wants to customize any controlled knives, he will have to carefully consider whether to call the police. But the furnace of alchemy, no matter how rare this thing is, and it doesn't break the law, what are you afraid of?

At the moment, Deputy Director Li said categorically: "No problem, we can make ......" (to be continued......
