Volume 3: The One Who Should Think Thinks Chapter 118: Tribal Alliance

Although Baoyu's own cultivation is limited, the mana of Taihao's seal is more than the means of the Eight Realms, and this mana is to help the person sitting in the center of the white jade altar to communicate with the things in this ruin. Zhu Ming's altar on Shude Hill is also a part of it, so Baoyu can communicate with him in the Yuan Shen.

Zhu Ming can also control this altar on the Shude Hill and use the magic power left by the Taihao Heavenly Emperor. Although this is not his own supernatural power, but in his current state, even a simple trigger operation is very difficult, and he can only work for a moment. Unexpectedly, Baoyu needed much shorter time than he expected, and he reached out and succeeded.

After the success of the first and second steps, there is theoretically a third step, which is the secret transmission of this ruin. Now this third step is not necessary, because there are still heirs of the Jinghua recipe left by Taihao, and Zhu Ming can teach it to Baoyu. Directly obtaining the secret transmission of the method is much easier than comprehending the process of how Taihao created this method back then!

But Zhu Ming didn't disturb Baoyu at the moment, let him feel the indescribable state by himself, he could experience it better, and it would be easier to pass on the essence of the essence to start cultivating in the future. And Baoyu has been sitting on the altar, the so-called integration into the form of the god, is not like the intuitive imagination of ordinary people, there is an artifact hidden in the body, this is an unimaginable state, and even another form of the existence of things.

Baoyu experienced this artifact in the form of the god in the meditation, sensing its wonderful use, as if looking at his own body and mind. Don't forget that he has taken so many Langji fruits, don't forget the foundation of the first realm, and don't forget that this Langji branch is an artifact that he refined "with his own hands". Maybe there is a difference between high and low cultivation. However, there is no distinction between the subtlety of each layer of the realm, and Baoyu now experiences the first realm, feeling herself as novelly as a baby.

I don't know how long it took for him to let out a sigh of relief and open his eyes again. The mountain god had been waiting for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Baoyu." What did you realize?"

Baoyu replied: "The Langji branch is already an artifact, and I am realizing this wonderful spiritual use - why is the Langji tree an immortal elixir, and why can it produce the Langji fruit? This is the process of refining the vitality between heaven and earth and condensing into the essence of the essence. ”

Zhu Ming asked, "Then what is the use of this artifact for you?"

Baoyu replied, "The greatest use should be to assist in cultivation. There is such an artifact in the form of gods. While cultivating, along with the method of imperial weapons, it can also condense the vitality of heaven and earth. ”

Zhu Ming's voice trembled slightly: "If you don't have this artifact in the form of a god, can you still do it?"

Baoyu thought for a while: "I have only sensed it for a long time, and I am understanding the question you are asking now." I also need to experience the Imperial Weapon in my cultivation, and I will do this with the help of the magic of the Lang Ji Branch, and then I will master it perfectly. It can also be a kind of law for cultivating vitality. Cultivating this kind of Fa is like a Langji tree, and the skill of cultivation is equivalent to the spiritual effect of the Langji fruit. ”

Zhu Ming sighed and said, "Child, what you are talking about is the Jinghua recipe passed down by Emperor Taihao Heavenly to future generations! I have cultivated the Jinghua Recipe, and I have also taught it to your Mountain Master and Granny Shui. ...... It was here that Emperor Taihao created the Essence Recipe back then, as for how he realized the Tao. The world doesn't know, it seems that you have found the answer, it is the most important secret of this Taihao ruins. ”

Baoyu: "I see! So Emperor Taihao did the same thing as I do today?"

Zhu Ming: "Yes, although I didn't see that scene, but seeing you today, I can be regarded as witnessing it with my own eyes." It's just that Taihao back then, his cultivation was much higher than you are now, at least he had broken through the transformation realm to verify immortality. The Xuanqi mana that had only been running on this white jade altar was left by him. ”

Zhu Ming's original plan. It is to let Baoyu break off a piece of Langji branch, and with the help of the altar and magic circle left by Emperor Taihao, it will be refined into an artifact. But whether he succeeds or not, he will next teach Baoyu Jinghua the secret before he leaves the wilderness. Be sure to get started with cultivation.

Zhu Ming had never taught Baoyu any secret methods, but only explained to Baoyu what was going on in the layered realm of cultivation, but there was one secret that he absolutely wanted to teach, and that was the Jinghua Technique. But today, when Zhu Ming could teach it, he suddenly found that Baoyu no longer needed him to teach Jinghua Jue.

Baoyu often cultivates in this ruin, and the secret of this ruin is just like the legend, containing the mystery of Taihao's creation of the essence of the essence. If you use the most concise language to describe it, it is what Baoyu just said.

Baoyu has already comprehended his way, and with his cultivation realm getting higher and higher, his understanding is becoming more and more profound, and when he breaks through the six realms and completes the cultivation of the Jinghua Jue, he will be able to pass on this complete set of Dharma to future generations with his heart seal.

This also means that Baoyu's cultivation of the essence of the recipe is not passed on by Zhu Ming. But if it weren't for Zhu Ming's help and guidance, Baoyu would not have been able to achieve this kind of achievement. So who taught Baoyu's Jinghua Formula? It seems that it should be the Taihao Heavenly Emperor back then, but if you think about it carefully, this is not the case, he just has the same perception as Taihao back then.

Before Taihao, there was no secret inheritance of the Jinghua recipe in the world, but the "Jinghua Jue" between heaven and earth has always existed, and it only depends on whether people can perceive and summarize it and cultivate it successfully. I'm afraid that even Emperor Taihao couldn't have imagined that a child who had just broken through to the Four Realms had also comprehended the Jinghua Secret today, with the help of the relics he left behind and Zhu Ming, another top master in the world.

When Zhu Ming spoke again, his voice seemed a little weak: "Child, you are doing a good job." In the future, I will continue to realize in my cultivation, and cultivate the essence with the help of the Lang Ji branch in the form and god, and after it reaches Dacheng, it will be a complete inheritance. ...... You take Xiaotian back first, the stone eggs will be left in the lotus pond, I'm a little tired today. ”

Zhu Ming was really tired, and the magical mana left in the altar made him feel very weak and tired. Zhu Ming has been preparing to teach Baoyu Jinghua Secret, so that this child can leave the wilderness with his inheritance, but when this day comes, Baoyu does not need him to teach, this feeling is relieved or lost.

The mountain god sat on the mound of the tree, and there was a sigh of desolation between heaven and earth. There is no one in the world who is strong-minded than Zhu Ming, who can have such an experience as him? When he saw Baoyu, his heart ignited the most ardent hope, but at this moment he also inexplicably felt his weakness.

Baoyu didn't know what the mountain god was thinking, and after about half a month, he excitedly took Xiaotian to the Taihao ruins again, sat on the white jade altar and talked to the mountain god about his various feelings in cultivation, including the state of internal breath when he sat in the water last time, and finally asked: "The immortal elixir, is the material itself the original embryo of the artifact?"

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to ask this question anymore, do you?" Baoyu has already refined that piece of Lang Ji branch into an artifact with his own hands and integrated it into the form of the god, and the fact is the best answer.

But Baoyu said again: "The Langyu Tree is an immortal elixir, and so is the Five-Colored Divine Lotus. You asked me to pick up so many things and put them on the altar, you must have wanted me to take them all away, right? When I sat down, everything on this altar seemed to be one with my body and mind. If you use the same magical powers as last time, I can also integrate them into the form of gods and refine them into my own artifact. Because they are the first embryos of the artifact, only the last step of the artifact, I can do it. ”

The mountain god sighed, and after a while said, "It seems that you have understood why I asked you to put so many things on the altar, and I am indeed preparing for you to take them with you in the future." But there is no extravagant expectation that you will be able to take it this way, and you are beyond my expectations. ...... Since you want to try, let's try it today, no matter what the result is, you can refine as much as you want!"

In fact, this altar can be used two more times, and the magical mana left by Taihao back then will help Baoyu. But after two more operations, not only will the mystical mana left by Tai Hao back then be exhausted, but also the power of Zhu Ming's residual divine thoughts over the years will also be exhausted, and he will probably not be able to communicate with the outside world for a long time, even with the people on the white jade throne.

But Zhu Ming didn't tell Baoyu this, and Baoyu smiled and said, "Then try it, it's fun!"

Zhu Ming was speechless for a while, did this kid actually regard this kind of thing as a play? But after thinking about it, for a child who has been living in a barbarian tribe, isn't this a very interesting game? Zhu Ming didn't have the heart to play, he concentrated on the power of divine thought, and once again triggered and operated the mysterious mana in the altar.

The things that Baoyu has picked up in the past few years have always been placed on the altar, and his spiritual aura has also accompanied his cultivation. In fact, the most difficult thing to do is to successfully fold the Langji Branch, Baoyu even refined the Langji Branch into an artifact and integrated it into the form of the god, and then "dealt with" other things in the same way, of course, it is easier.

However, there are so many things on the altar, and Baoyu only has a short time, and the biggest test is how many artifacts he can refine?

I saw that the Langyu fruits stored in the clay pot first flew into the air and emitted a faint light, and disappeared one after another. They did not disappear at the same time, because one weapon was only one and the other, but the interval was very short, and they all became an artifact in turn, and they were integrated into the form of the god by Baoyu.

Then those lotus seeds, a few complete stemmed lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and four lotus seeds that were empty, were successively refined into artifacts by Baoyu and integrated into the form of gods.

The other four had lotus seeds among them, and Baoyu's first attempt was unsuccessful. But his reaction was also very fast, and he realized the problem in an instant, and peeled out all the lotus seeds in the air with the method of imperial objects, but did not damage the lotus pod at all, and then refined them one by one, and also merged into the form and god in turn.

When he finally tried those petals and stamens, he failed, but Baoyu didn't try again, because he knew that he couldn't succeed, and if he reluctantly refined, not only would he not be able to refine them into artifacts, but he would destroy these precious immortal elixirs.

Although Baoyu's speed was fast, it took not a short time to refine so many artifacts in turn to integrate into the form god, and when he gave up refining the stamen and petals, the magic power of the altar had stopped working, and the voice of the mountain god had not sounded in the original god for a long time.

Baoyu knew why she had failed, not only because it was too late, but also because the petals and stamens were not the embryos of the whole artifact. Although they were still natural treasures for refining artifacts, it was impossible to complete the final steps with Baoyu's abilities. He had already noticed this when refining the lotus pod, the fully ripe lotus seeds and the lotus pod were separated, one lotus pod plus nine lotus seeds were ten complete embryos, and he couldn't refine them into artifacts at the same time, so he had to peel them off and cast spells separately.

Baoyu was glad that he didn't damage the lotus pod at all when he took out the lotus seeds, otherwise he wouldn't have succeeded in refining today. As for the lotus stems, lotus flowers with stems, and lotus leaves, they are all complete embryos, which were folded off from the stem nodes by Baoyu in the method of imperial objects. Only the petals and stamens fell on their own, and were caught by Xiaotian before they could enter the water and dissipate.

Looking at the white jade altar again, most of the miscellaneous items piled up on it had disappeared, leaving only a clay pot and those petals and stamens. Although the clay pot was refined by Baoyu himself, it was only a low-grade magic vessel. Of course, you can't integrate it into the form of the gods.

Zhu Ming didn't speak, on the one hand, he was really tired, every time he triggered and operated the mana in the altar, he felt extremely weak, and on the other hand, he didn't know what to say. Except for what can't be collected. Baoyu took a lot of them all. In fact, these things that had been placed on the altar, Zhu Ming had planned to let Baoyu take them away.

Zhu Ming also specially prepared another thing for this purpose, which was a spatial artifact. With Baoyu's current cultivation, he can't control all of its wonderful uses, but the altar can still run for the last time, and it is no problem to put all these things in and take them away. And now it seems that that space artifact may only be used to hold Baoyu's stone eggs.

The mountain god is silent. Baoyu also felt and experienced something in the fixed state. After a long time, Zhu Ming's voice sounded again: "Child, what are you doing?"

Baoyu: "I am experiencing the wonderful use of the five-colored divine lotus in the form of the gods, but there are too many and too miscellaneous, there are lotus flowers, lotus leaves, lotus seeds, lotus stems, and lotus pods. ”

Zhu Ming: "They are your artifacts, and they are part of the body and mind in the form of the gods." It's just that some of the magic things you can't use in your current realm yet. But what you've been able to do, can't you sense it clearly?"

Baoyu explained: "No, I was thinking about another thing. The Langji tree is an elixir of immortality, from which you can understand the essence of the essence. Then the five-colored divine lotus is also an immortal elixir, and it should also contain another method to assist in cultivation. I seem to have a feeling, but the feeling is not very clear. ”

Zhu Ming: "Child, you can slowly experience it in the future." I also look forward to more discoveries from you. But don't be too reluctant now, you should be tired too, go play with Xiaotian for a while. ”

Baoyu is clearly in a state of enlightenment, last time he integrated Lang Yuzhi into the form of the god, realized how the Taihao Heavenly Emperor created the essence of the essence, and in the future, he will integrate the five-color divine lotus into the form of the god, naturally he has similar ideas. Maybe there was really some mystery in this, but Baoyu couldn't summarize it clearly, so Zhu Ming persuaded him to play with Xiaotian first.

Baoyu is still a child, and it may be better to behave in accordance with her nature. As for urging him to cultivate diligently, Zhu Ming thought that it was not necessary.

Baoyu jumped off the altar and shouted into the lotus pond, "Xiaotian, come here and show you something interesting." ”

Xiao Tian quietly dived from the bottom of the water covered with lotus leaves. Suddenly jumped out of the water to scare Baoyu. Baoyu waved his hand, and an emerald green long stick appeared out of thin air in his hand, which startled Xiao Tian. The dog's movements were extremely nimble, and he twisted his waist in the air to dodge the oncoming stick. Unexpectedly, this long stick will change, and it is also elastic, and it flew away and turned around in the air, or knocked Xiaotian down on the lotus pond, causing a splash.

They often played like this, but Xiao Tian didn't get angry, but found it very interesting, and jumped ashore again and yelled at Baoyu. It had already seen that Baoyu was holding a lotus stem in his hand, which Baoyu had picked from the lotus pond in time after the lotus pod at the top had naturally matured and fallen off. Xiao Tian sensed it very clearly, there was nothing in Baoyu's hand, and this lotus stem appeared suddenly.

It was screaming, but Baoyu seemed to be able to understand it naturally, and he said with a smile: "This lotus stem, you can't eat it now, it is already an artifact that I have refined." ”

Xiao Tian was a little unconvinced, is it great that Baoyu can conjure a lotus stem? Use this kind of thing as a weapon, be careful to be eaten by it! Ordinary lotus flowers can only be taken by lotus seeds and lotus roots, but Xiao Tian has no such concept, it has only seen the five-colored divine lotus, and even the whiskers on the root joints and the green skin on the lotus seeds have been eaten, no matter whether the taste is good or not, anyway, it melts in the mouth without any residue, then this green stem can also be chewed and eaten.

Hearing Baoyu's words, it was a little unbelieving, and ran over to bite the stem and gnawed for a long time. Strange to say, the texture and texture of this thing are still the stems of plants, soft and elastic, and it has not broken its teeth, but it can't chew after gnawing for a long time, and it doesn't even leave a tooth mark after loosening its mouth.

Baoyu laughed and said: "How can you bite the artifact that has been refined? You can eat it if you want, but unless I let you eat it, but this thing is not delicious, and it would be a pity to eat it!"

Xiao Tian looked very envious and shouted a few times, meaning that he could use it to play? Baoyu was not stingy, and threw it to it. Xiao Tian jumped into the lotus pond with it in his mouth, used the stem as a stick to pluck the stone eggs in the mud, and after a while, he lay his whole body on his back in the water, holding the stem out of the water in his mouth. The stem has nine holes in the hollow, and it is used as a straw for underwater aeration.

Zhu Ming sat on the tree hill, looking at the children and dogs messing around in the Taihao ruins, and sighed slightly, can he let them go to Bayuan like this? What he wants to teach Baoyu next is not the cultivation of secret methods, but the almost endless knowledge of the human world, so that Baoyu can understand what kind of place he lives in and what kind of world he will usher in.

Maybe for a child, all this is too complicated, more difficult to solve than those mysterious cultivation secret methods, and the time has come too early, but Zhu Ming thinks that time is already very short.

......

The Qingshan patriarch was not idle during this time, building customs and building roads was an unprecedented huge project in the wilderness, but fortunately, after all these years of operation, after the alliance of various ministries, it was already possible to mobilize manpower and material resources to do such a thing. After the alliance, the tribes are no longer called clans alone, but collectively called the Shanshui clan, then the original clans are called "tribes" or "villages", such as the Jiaorong tribe and Huahai Village, and no longer continue to use the names of the Jiaorong tribe and the Huahai clan.

Building customs and roads together is also a process of bringing the tribes closer together and accelerating their integration. After the expansion of the road from the central valley to the Shanshui Pass was completed, the Qingshan patriarch still did not repair the Shanshui City, but sent people to go down the mountain, dig and smooth some too difficult road sections, or simply build a new road to bypass, focusing on building ten post stations along the way that can be used for people to stay.

The mountain road to Ba Yuan was too long, and the Aoyama patriarch also knew that it would not be possible to fully excavate and expand it in a short period of time, so he first solved the main problem and opened up the trade route with Ba Yuan as soon as possible.

Therefore, most of this road has not changed, and there will be more people coming and going in the future, and it will gradually be stepped on and widened, but some of the most difficult nodes have been opened, and more importantly, people have a fixed place to rest and spend the night. Shan Ye calculated that it would take about ten days for ordinary caravans to send goods by cattle and horses, and it would take him about ten days to walk from Bayuan to Shanshui Pass, so he opened up ten open spaces next to this road in turn, and built stone walls, stone houses and bamboo sheds.

These locations are selected in places where the torrent cannot be washed away during heavy rain, which can be used to shelter from the rain or stay overnight, which is much safer and more comfortable than sleeping in the mountains, but there is no one on duty at ordinary times, mainly for the convenience of passers-by. After this matter was completed, the trade route from Shanshui City to Bayuan was equivalent to being opened, and at this time, half a year had passed since the Qingshan Patriarch was officially sealed as the city lord.

Next, the Qingshan patriarch still did not order the construction of the city, because the strong laborers of the various departments had been working for more than half a year, and it was time to recuperate, and then many caravans came to Shanshui City on Bayuan.

There have long been bazaars in the central valley, and the Qingshan clan chief ordered a number of bamboo and wood shacks to be built around a narrow open space. The caravan from the direction of Gaocheng brought all kinds of products from Ba Yuan, exchanged them with various tribes into products from the mountains, and brought them back to Ba Yuan to sell. This city without walls is gradually showing signs of prosperity.

Why haven't you started building the city yet? Master Xin Shu also asked the Lord of the Great Wall of the Qingshan Clan. The Qingshan patriarch looked at the lively bazaar and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, let this place develop for a while, and in a few years we will have more manpower and material resources, build a mountain and water city, and completely dig and expand the road, it may be easier than I expected, so there is no need to worry." ”
