Zhu Ming was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "Child, Fang has done a perfect job. Don't say anything about the artifact, even if you want to refine it into a medium-grade magic weapon, you are still early, and you can't reach it if you want to hurry. ”

Baoyu blinked and replied, "I will sit for a day and a night, just to understand what you said." I know that I can only refine it like this today, not because things can't work, but because my skills are not enough. Only when the realm is higher in the future can we continue to refine it. ”

He took everything he said to heart, the silt at the bottom of the pool was a treasure that could refine artifacts.

Thousands of years ago, Taihao took the five directions, five qi and five colors of the earth in the world, refined it into pure black silt, planted the five-color divine lotus in it, and nourished it with the spring of eternal clarity. Baoyu took out such a small lump of mud from the bottom of the pond, and in the future, there will be one less lotus leaf that can grow in this lotus pond.

Now that the immortal elixir in this lotus pond has been removed by Baoyu and Xiaotian, if something happens in the future, Zhu Ming is not even sure if this ruin can be saved, so he doesn't care about this mud.

Today, Zhu Ming let Baoyu experience the way of refining, of course, he must use heaven and earth treasures. And this Taihao ruins are full of natural treasures, but they are all the most precious and rare things in the world, and they can't be found at all if they are not precious. Now that the immortal elixir in this lotus pond has been removed by Baoyu and Xiaotian, if something happens in the future, Zhu Ming is not even sure if this ruin can be saved, so he doesn't care about this mud.

This five-colored divine mud is a heavenly treasure that can refine artifacts, but in fact, it wants to be refined into artifacts. Even the immortal family is difficult to succeed. But refining ordinary utensils with this material should be the most profound. Then let Baoyu try her hand. But since Baoyu knew what this clay was, he wanted to use it for what it was, and would not just refine it into an ordinary clay pot.

Zhu Ming thought about it when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, and said, "Then you can take half a jar of the Ten Thousand Years of Eternal Clear Spring, and then fold a five-colored divine lotus and insert it in the jar." ”

Baoyu sat still, the lid of the jar flew up and landed lightly aside, and a line of water flew up in the lotus pond not far away. Naturally, it was sucked into the jar, and then he folded a five-colored lotus flower and inserted it in the jar with a long stem. He saw that he could insert more, so he easily inserted another five-colored divine lotus and a lotus leaf that had been picked and placed on the altar before.

Baoyu never understood why the mountain god asked him to pick up so many immortal elixirs and put them on the altar, wasn't it good to grow in the pool or on the tree? But the mountain god is the mountain god, just let him do it. But there is no explanation.

The mountain god smiled again, "You can put those Langji fruits and lotus seeds in the jar as well." ”

On the altar were some Lang Ji fruits plucked from the trees, as well as lotus seeds dug out of the mud at the bottom of the pool, and Baoyu cast a spell into small handfuls and put them in the jar. Then there were thirty petals and a few stamens on the altar, nine verdant stems, eight of which had fallen off and been collected here, and three of which were empty of lotus seeds.

There were originally nine lotus pods in the surrounding lotus pond, but Baoyu and Xiaotian had taken the lotus root stems nine times. The ripe lotus fell into the water. The lotus seeds in the four lotus pods have been stripped empty and eaten, and one of the empty lotus pods has been taken by Granny Shui.

At this point, there are no ripe lotus pods in the lotus pond, and the petals of nine lotus flowers have fallen, and new lotus pods are growing. But it will take another hundred years to mature. As for the silt at the bottom of the pond, new lotus roots are also growing. There are also a few lotus seeds that have been buried for thousands of years that can finally sprout. Baoyu's vitality blends with this small world in the fixed realm, and of course it can be sensed clearly.

There were still a lot of things on the altar, obviously it was impossible to put them all in the clay pot, and Baoyu was thinking that three lotus stems could be inserted into the mouth of the jar, and the mountain god said, "You cut off a branch of the Langji tree and insert it in this clay pot as well." ”

Baoyu asked in wonder, "Why did you break the branches?"

He now knows that this is the immortal elixir Langji tree left by Emperor Taihao thousands of years ago, and it is nothing for the mountain god to ask him to pick the Langji fruit, and many fruits that grow on the wild trees in the mountains can be picked and eaten. But why bother breaking a branch for no reason, this branch will continue to grow fruit in the future!

The words of the mountain god were intentional, and he specified the branch to be broken by Baoyu, which was about four feet long, with a few branches, crystal clear and very beautiful, and there were many Langji fruits growing on it, there were dozens of them, but now they had to be broken off.

Zhu Ming secretly sighed, but replied unhurriedly: "I want you to fold it off, of course it is useful." However, if you break the branches of the Langji tree with the method of imperial objects, the branches and leaves will immediately turn into Qiongguang and fly away. Such a divine object in heaven and earth, even if it is broken, must use secret methods, you can try it. ”

There is indeed a secret method for breaking the Langji branch, ordinary power simply does not break this kind of thing, even if it is reluctantly broken with strong mana, the branches and leaves that are separated from the body of the tree will turn into Qiongguang and scatter, leaving nothing. Of course, Zhu Ming himself knew about this secret method, but he just asked Baoyu to try it himself, but he didn't tell Baoyu what to do.

With Baoyu's cultivation, it can be done, it depends on whether he can realize it, if he doesn't succeed, he will destroy a piece of Langji branch and dozens of Langji fruits in vain, anyway, Zhu Ming has already let it go. But this is also Zhu Ming's bottom limit, if Baoyu doesn't succeed, Zhu Ming will never let him fold it a second time, then this child has nothing to do with this thing.

Baoyu had "taken" so many Langyu Fruits, and had been cultivating on the White Jade Dharma Seat for so long, and from the very beginning, he had fused himself with the breath of this small world in the Concentration Realm, until he broke through to the Four Realms and reached a state of physical and mental harmony. He didn't mean to, but only then could he communicate with the mountain god.

The first time Baoyu made an imperial object, he picked the Langji fruit, and the first imperial weapon, what he refined was the five-colored divine mud at the bottom of the pool. But no one taught him the secret method, he relied on his natural experience of the body and mind and all things, and his cultivation was the purest realm.

Such an experience has never been even experienced by Zhu Ming himself. Then Baoyu may be able to do something that ordinary people can't imagine, even Zhu Ming can't do it, it is related to the secret of this Taihao ruins. Whether Baoyu can understand this secret, Zhu Ming is also very curious, if he can, it also proves that his cultivation so far is to confirm the origin of the Transcendent Dao.

But the premise of all this is that Baoyu can naturally fold the Langji branch, if he can't even do this, then the secret of Taihao's ruins will of course have nothing to do with him. So Zhu Ming knew the secret method of breaking branches, but he didn't say it.

Baoyu didn't do it in a hurry, but thought for a while and said, "Mountain God, will I break the branch next time?"

Zhu Ming replied: "Well, you have just refined the magic weapon, and you should be tired too." If you want to successfully break off the Langji branch, you really need to understand it well, so try again next time. ”

Baoyu asked another crucial question: "Mountain God, have I broken through to the Four Realms?"

The mountain god finally smiled: "Yes, before you refine the weapon, you have already broken through the four realms in the meditation, otherwise I would not ask you to refine a jar." Even if I didn't say it, you know it yourself at this point. ”

The so-called four realms will also be called the "imperial weapon realm" in many school traditions, because when you reach this realm, you will have the ability of imperial weapons, and you can sacrifice magic weapons to perform all kinds of magical powers, of course, it is more clever than ordinary imperial objects, and it is a qualitative breakthrough. There are also a few inheritance sects that call it the refining realm, because there are four realms of cultivation to start refining magic weapons, and the means of refining weapons can also be used as a way to divide the cultivation realm.

In Baoyu's view, these statements are just external means, and the essence of them is a certain physical and mental state achieved by cultivation. For example, in the Three Realms, the primordial spirit seems to be able to extend out and control everything around it. And when you reach the Four Realms, it is not a simple control, but giving your body and mind to everything, which is the foundation of the imperial weapon or refining weapon.

Seeing that the tiger didn't speak, Zhu Ming smiled again: "You have entered the four realms, if you are a disciple of a certain secret method inheritance, it means that you can become a teacher, and you must have a portable magic weapon." Although the jar you refined today is very good, it doesn't seem to be very easy to use when facing the enemy, at least not for now. If it's in the fighting method, what kind of magic weapon do you like to use?"

Baoyu replied without even thinking about it: "The most convenient thing? Of course I like to use stone eggs!"

The mountain god kept laughing: "You have a lot of stone eggs, and one of them is the most special, the one that most resembles an egg." Even if I don't say it at the moment, if you take it in your hand when you go back and feel it, you will find that it is a treasure of heaven and earth with quite pure physical properties. Let me give you a suggestion, go to the place where you defeated the rhino ditch beast in the first place, and go higher along the mountain stream to see what else you can find?

You've been picking stones and eggs since you were a child, and now that you've grown up, you should know more things. The stone eggs you want to pick are not what they look like from the beginning, you have to be able to not only discover it, but also create it. You have already cultivated to such a realm, go and choose the stone egg you want. Kid, do you see what I mean?"

Baoyu said: "It seems to understand, then I'll try it." ”

When Baoyu left the Taihao ruins this time, Zhu Ming sat on the tree hill and looked at his figure, and then looked at the Taihao ruins that had been changed a lot by this child, and the feeling in his heart was difficult to describe. More than ten years ago, Zhu Ming never imagined that he would ask a child to break a Lang Zhi branch.

The fruit of the Langji tree is the legendary elixir of immortality. Whoever found such a divine object would carefully protect the branches and leaves, and it was impossible to do such a ridiculous thing, but he let Baoyu do it. There was one more thing he didn't tell Baoyu - the plant of the immortal elixir was an artifact in itself!

However, this artifact is different from other artifacts, and its inheritance is extremely special. There is also a secret in the Taihao ruins, which is related to the white jade altar, including a great creation opportunity, and Zhu Ming is going to hand it over to Baoyu.

Baoyu returned to his hut in the village, opened the sack in the corner of the house, and many stone eggs floated out of his body, and he fixed them all with the method of imperial objects, and then reached out and picked one of them, and the rest of the stone eggs flew back into the sack. Baoyu held the stone egg, sensed its physical properties with his body and mind, and found that it was indeed a so-called heavenly treasure.

Baoyu smiled and decided to refine it into his own magic weapon - or a stone egg!

Baoyu can manipulate many stones to fly out of different trajectories in the air with the power of imperial objects. But the imperial weapon is different from the imperial object, a person can only control one weapon, it is equivalent to the combination of body and mind and external objects, unless it is an immortal family, mortals cannot control multiple magic weapons at the same time. However, each ritual vessel does not have only one part, such as the clay pot refined by Baoyu, which contains the body and lid of the jar, which together are a complete and integrated utensil.

Baoyu didn't refine the magic weapon immediately, he rested for a day first, and the next day he began to refine the stone egg into a magic weapon in the meditation. The stone, which was almost identical to an egg, floated in the air, and Baoyu watched as it slowly wriggled and deformed, as if it were hatching, and as if it had turned into a mass of droplets. It wasn't until after dawn the next day that it floated into Baoyu's hands, and its appearance had not changed, but it had become a magic weapon.

This magic weapon has a spiritual use, but it is not given by Baoyu out of thin air, but its physical properties are contained in itself, and Baoyu has completely refined the magic of this material. This stone egg is beaten out, if it is activated by the method of the imperial weapon. Its power is not just a flying stone, it can transform into a large and heavy mountain. It can also sacrifice an invisible rushing torrent.

It is peeled off from the mountain rock layer in the geological movement, washed down by the mountain torrent, and polished after countless collisions, it has become a treasure of heaven and earth in the natural mystical refining, and it has been picked up by the treasure jade, and the spirituality contained in it has been refined into a magic weapon.

Baoyu was playing with the stone egg in his hand with great satisfaction, when he suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking, and Xiao Tian walked in on two legs. Staring at what he was holding with great interest, it was obvious that he was asking.

Xiao Tian could only bark as a dog, and Baoyu was talking to himself when communicating with it, and he replied with a smile: "This stone egg was originally a treasure of heaven and earth, and today I can finally refine it into a magic weapon." ...... The mountain god told me that there was more to be found. Do you remember that place?

Xiao Tian was originally a little unhappy, because Baoyu didn't bring it with him to the Taihao Ruins this time. At this moment, when he heard that he was going to find the stone eggs together, the dog felt happy again, and ran out of the village with his tail and Baoyu.

Baoyu hung a sack on his chest and back, tied the mouth of the bag with a rope and put it on his shoulder, and led a dog to the shore of flowers. They didn't go to Huahai Village. Instead, from the shore of the lake on the other side, a stream followed a stream into the mountains.

They came to a shallow pool of water, the bottom of which was covered with pebbles, where Baoyu had defeated the rhinoceros a few years earlier. Xiao Tian stood still, looked at the direction the rhino canal beast was running from and sniffed, as if wondering if the same scene would happen again? Such a once-in-a-lifetime encounter is almost impossible to happen again, and that can be said to be a catastrophe. It can also be said to be some kind of chance.

With Baoyu's cultivation realm today, if there was another rhino beast rushing towards him, he already had many other means to deal with it. But he thought in his heart, no matter what kind of supernatural power he had, the easiest and most natural way to deal with it would be to shoot two stone eggs like he had done at the beginning.

Baoyu took out the precious egg, which most resembled an egg, beckoned Xiao Tian, and continued to walk along the mountain stream to a high place, where he had never been before. Finding a path along a mountain stream with no path in the mountains, sometimes you have to push through the bushes, sometimes you have to climb over cliffs, sometimes you have to step into the water.

Xiao Tian has been playing with Baoyu since he was a child, but he has never seen him look for stone eggs so much, why do you have to lean down and rummage through the rubble?

There was a sudden commotion in the knee-deep stream, and a lot of gravel under the water was turned over, and a stone the size of a dog's head flew out. Xiao Tian was stunned, how does this stone look like an egg? The next thing surprised the dog even more, only to see that this stone did not fall into Baoyu's hand, it hung in the air and rotated, and the wet water on it instantly turned into white steam.

The thermal radiation accompanied by the high temperature could not be felt in the distance, but the stone seemed to be being refined by an invisible flame, and it was gradually softening and wriggling, as if it was a viscous droplet, and it also emitted a faint gray smoke, as if some impurity had been removed. Baoyu stood still in the water, like a rooted stump, and after a full hour, the strange change of the stone in the air slowly stopped, and then flew into his hand.

Xiao Tian stretched out his head and leaned over to see the strangeness, the stone the size of a dog's head had turned into the shape of an egg at this moment, and even the color and texture were so godlike!

Baoyu smiled, reached out and patted the dog's head, pulled out of the stream and continued to walk high. Xiaotian is very smart, it has already understood what Baoyu is doing, asked for a stone egg in Baoyu's hand, held it on his chest with his two front paws, sniffed it for a long time, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it, looking like he was going to eat it, and then closed his eyes and stared at it like a dog for a long time.

The gravel in the stream, of course, was washed down by the flood from a high place, and after countless collisions, some of the stones coincidentally became shaped to resemble eggs. What Baoyu was looking for now was not a stone like an egg, but something of the same material as the precious egg, which came from the inside of the same rock formation, shattered and scattered all over the stream.

Baoyu sensed the unique and pure physical properties of the baby egg in his hand, unfolded the original god, and naturally cast a magic spell that he had cast, so that the surrounding things echoed with the stone egg in a certain rhythm, and sure enough, he found another piece of the same thing at the bottom of the stream.

After Xiao Tian understood what Baoyu was doing, he seemed very excited, running and jumping around on both sides of the stream, launching a divine search and sniffing around. It can now be called a second-realm demon dog, of course, it doesn't have the ability of Baoyu, but as a demon, it has its natural powers. The dog's sense of smell is already very sensitive, and Xiaotian's sense of smell has become a kind of sensory power, and can even distinguish unique physical properties from the breath.

It is very unlikely that it will find this method of searching, but Baoyu doesn't care about it, so he advises him to play. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long to hear Xiaotian's surprise cry, and it actually found a piece. This time it was not in the current, but in the cold arrow bamboo forest on the shore, there was a stone buried under the soil covered with moss and bamboo leaves, which was picked up by Xiaotian with his claws.

Baoyu cast a spell to take this stone hanging in the air, and it was really something that met his requirements, so he stood still by the bamboo forest and cast a spell to refine. About half an hour later, there was another "egg" in his sack. This time it took less time than the last time, because the technique of refining this kind of heavenly treasure was already more proficient.

Baoyu did not directly refine these stone eggs into magic weapons, but only removed the impurities in the physical properties to make them pure, and became processed heavenly and earthly treasures that could continue to be refined. This consumes less magical power, after all, his main task is to find things, and refining the physical properties on the spot is just a matter of convenience.

After this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure is refined and refined, it may become different in the hands of different people, because the refining techniques are also different, but in Baoyu's hands, it becomes the appearance of an egg.

On this day, until dark, they found a total of twelve qualified stones, three of which were picked up by Xiao Tian from various places, and all of them were refined into the shape of eggs, which could be further refined into magic weapons in the future. At this time, Baoyu was tired, after all, he continuously used his supernatural power to induce, and used his mana to refine the heavenly materials and earth treasures for so long, and he needed to be recuperated.

That is, Baoyu would be like this, and if he were a monk of the Four Realms, he might have already fallen down, and no one would do this, this is simply deadly!, but Baoyu didn't realize this, because he had taken so many immortal elixirs over the years. The Lang Ji fruit is contained under the tongue and dissolved, and the essence of heaven and earth is refined by the form of the god, and it does not look particularly strong on the surface, but the vitality is extremely abundant, and the miraculous recovery is also very fast.

As for the lotus seeds and lotus stems of the five-colored divine lotus, he and Xiao Tian had taken more. Unlike the Lang Ji Fruit, the spiritual effect of the Five-Colored Divine Lotus is fused with the form god, and in the subsequent cultivation, it can continue to be refined and absorbed with the improvement of the mana of cultivation, which is simply endless, allowing him to always have the fullest vitality.

Just sit down in the mountains and fields, and stay until the second half of the night, Baoyu regained his physical strength and mana, and led Xiaotian to continue walking. At night, the mountains and forests are pitch black, and it is almost impossible to see anything clearly, except for the sound of running water and various faint and strange sounds not far away. At such a night, it is impossible for ordinary people to hurry, not to mention that there is no road here at all. But Baoyu's spirit can clearly perceive the situation around him, and he walks as usual in the dark night.

Baoyu and Xiaotian searched for that kind of natural treasure in the mountains along the stream day and night, and when they found a suitable one, they refined it on the spot, and when they were tired, they cultivated pranayama and stayed in the mountains for more than a month. There are also various fierce beast activities in the mountains, but as long as Xiao Tian roars twice from a distance, he will scare away all the fierce beasts around him, and he will not come to the near place to disturb.

When Baoyu went up the mountain, the sack was empty, and he didn't bring any dry food, but he didn't hunt for more than a month, and with his current cultivation, he didn't need to eat, because he wasn't hungry at all.
