Volume 3: The One Who Should Think About It Chapter 117: Stone Refining

After taking the lotus root stems and lotus seeds of the Five-Colored Divine Lotus, he didn't have to eat for a long time, and Baoyu this time was equivalent to the spiritual effect of the Five-Colored Divine Lotus that had been refining the form god. Xiao Tian didn't hunt either, and he had eaten a lot of the five-colored divine lotus, although the refining and fusion was not as perfect as Baoyu, but it was also effective. It hasn't been idle these days, and it has been cultivating with Baoyu.

The higher they went, they kept discovering something, so Baoyu and Xiaotian never went down the mountain. They had not been seen for such a long time, and the water girl who stayed in the village was a little worried, and she quietly went to the Taihao ruins. The mountain god smiled and told Shui Gu that Baoyu had taken Xiaotian to pick up stone eggs, which was both play and cultivation, and they would be back soon, so there was no need to worry.

Xiao Tian and Baoyu walked all the way to the highest part of the mountain range, searched all the areas where the heavenly and earthly treasures might be distributed, and then carried two bulging sacks down the mountain. They found and refined a total of eighty stone eggs, plus the original treasure egg in Baoyu's hand, a total of nine hundred and eighty-one eggs.

When Baoyu returned to the shore of flowers, his hair was scattered, his clothes were in tatters, and he was carrying two sacks on his shoulders like a little savage. In fact, in the eyes of the inhabitants of the five countries of Bayuan, these people in the deep mountain tribe are also savages. But Xiaotian is still brightly furred, and he is still a clean and refreshing dog.

On the way back, they met a person from Huahai Village, who greeted him in surprise: "Baoyu, why did you do this?...... If I hadn't seen Xiaotian, I wouldn't have dared to admit it!"

Baoyu smiled: "I came out of the mountains. โ€

The man asked again: "Did you take Xiaotian to hunt? You are so capable at such a young age that you dare to go into the mountains to hunt alone! Everyone admires you." ...... What's in the sack, what good things have you hit?"

Baoyu smiled and explained, "I'm not going hunting, it's all stone eggs that I have picked. โ€

Everyone knew that Baoyu had this hobby, and the man curiously asked Baoyu to open the sack and show her, and then exclaimed, "Where did you get so many eggs! How many chicken nests have you found in the mountains?...... No, did you go to Huahai Village to steal eggs?"

Seeing so many eggs, and looking at the direction Baoyu came from, I am afraid that it can only be found in the chicken shed of Huahai Village, where eggs are stored in a centralized manner, no wonder she is so suspicious. Baoyu laughed out loud and explained that it wasn't an egg, just a stone that looked like an egg. The man didn't believe it, so he took several stone eggs and knocked them in his hand for a long time before he could confirm them, and finally left in amazement.

After Baoyu returned to Lu Village, his appearance and the two sacks also aroused the curiosity of the clansmen, and after everyone opened the sack and looked at it, they were surprised and shouted: "Baoyu, why did Huahai Village give you so many eggs?" Some people said: "Child, you get so many eggs at one time, are you going to propose marriage?...... You're still young!"

Baoyu explained again, and the clansmen picked up the stones and bumped into them before confirming that they were all stones. Someone was still puzzled and said, "Baoyu, why did you turn these eggs into stones, it's a pity, right?" Baoyu had to explain that these stones were not made of eggs, they were originally stones.

At this time, Shui Gu came over, let the onlookers disperse, and called Baoyu to his house, and Xiao Tian also followed behind with two legs, looking very show-off, because there were more than a dozen of these stone eggs that it found.

Aunt Shui asked Baoyu about the past month or so, and carefully inspected those stone eggs, and secretly gasped, but her expression was a little crying and laughing. She is a person who knows the goods, and she can recognize that these stone eggs are all natural treasures, and the surnames of the objects have been condensed and refined, and the next step is to directly refine them into magic weapons.

This kind of thing is a rare thing that the monks try to find, and occasionally seeing one or a few pieces cannot surprise the water aunt too much. But so many natural treasures with the same texture and surname were loaded with two sacks by a child, and they were carried back to the village in the wild mountains, if you say it, who can believe it!

Shui Gu had to admire the mountain god, the heir pointed out by her heart was so extraordinary! But, however, Baoyu was also a monk with a high realm, how could he make it look like an egg seller in a bazaar. After inquiring again, it turned out that the mountain god asked Baoyu to refine the portable magic weapon in the future, but there is no need to be so exaggerated, right?

Since it was the mountain god's confession, Shui Gu didn't say much, but just told Baoyu to carry so many things, and to be careful on the way next time she went to Taihao's ruins.

After a few more days, Baoyu took Xiaotian and walked into the back mountain with two heavy sacks on his shoulders, and went to the Taihao Ruins again. They look like they're returning from a hunting trip, but they're going in the opposite direction, and their destination is not a village.

The contents of the sack, even if it is eighty-one real eggs, are not light, let alone stone eggs, and they are walking dangerous peaks and paths that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, and they have to climb over snow-capped mountains where the air is thin and there is no way to find them. If it was an ordinary person, it would definitely not be able to stand it, but Baoyu didn't feel any burden.

Xiao Tian saw that Baoyu was carrying the two sacks all the way, and it seemed a little unhappy, and wanted to carry it on its back after asking for it several times. After crossing the snowy mountain, Baoyu finally put the two sacks on Xiaotian's shoulders, the dog was very happy, the four hooves landed on the ground and ran fast, and its movements were very light and flexible, the two sacks were tossed and turned but never landed.

In a way like this, not to mention an egg, even an ordinary stone is probably broken by half. Fortunately, it was a refined heavenly treasure, so there was no damage, and there were not even traces of scratches.

When Baoyu came to the Taihao Ruins and sat down on the white jade altar, he heard Zhu Ming smile and said, "Child, your portable magic weapon has been refined, and it is the precious stone egg." But what are you doing with so many eggs, do you want to hatch chicks?"

Baoyu replied, "It was you who told me that I could go to the same place and maybe find the same thing, and I also realized the realm I had just broken through." โ€

Mountain God: "I've been watching, I'm amazed by your self-realization, but there's no need to have so many identical magic weapons. Do you want to send a stone egg to each person as your token in the future?"

Baoyu also smiled: "Well, this is a good idea, and you can consider it later." But I'm bringing so many stone eggs today to ask you for advice. Since there is only one imperial weapon for each weapon, and I used to cultivate and control so many stone eggs to lay down birdmen at the same time, now with the method of imperial weapons, can I also cultivate and control these eighty-one ones at the same time?"

Mountain God: "It doesn't matter, the way of the imperial weapon is in harmony with the body and mind, you are equivalent to one more hand flying in the sky and having magical powers, as long as the Yuan Shen is strong enough, it will not prevent you from continuing to cultivate and control the other eighty stone eggs." One device, at the same time, eighty things, it depends on whether you have the ability. โ€

Baoyu asked, "I understand that this can be done, but if a magic weapon is sacrificed, can it turn into eighty-one stone eggs?"

The mountain god replied simply, "Yes, of course!" while explaining with a thought.

A magic weapon is sacrificed, and many lights and shadows are used to attack the opponent at the same time, which is a very common situation in the fighting method, depending on the magic weapon. The magic of the magic weapon depends on the skill of the refining tool. Baoyu can have two choices, first of all, since he hopes that the magic weapon will have such a wonderful use, then in the future, he can choose a stone egg to continue refining, and give it this wonderful use, which can distinguish different lights and shadows, and target many targets at the same time.

But with Baoyu's current cultivation, it is still impossible to do it. He also had a choice, which was to refine these eighty-one stone eggs into the same magic weapon. This is not possible under normal circumstances, and the magic of the magic weapon depends on the material of the object, but for these heavenly and earthly treasures, it is possible to succeed. Because Baoyu's eighty-one stone eggs, I don't know how many thousands of years ago, originally came from the same stone, which was washed down from a high place by a mountain torrent and collided and shattered, all over the mountain, and was found by him along the stream.

But this is not an ordinary refining kung fu, although it does not require Baoyu to have a higher cultivation realm, but it requires him to cultivate and comprehend this kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, and the whole process of refining the weapon must not make the slightest mistake. He could start with two and refine them into a single artifact, and the surname of this artifact was - two stone eggs, but their utensils were one, just like the lid and body of the jar.

If this step is successful, Baoyu can also try to melt the third combination, and then this magic weapon will become "three stone eggs". Theoretically, Baoyu could keep trying, but in fact it was a very stupid thing to do, because in the process, if any step went wrong, all the magic weapons that had been refined would be destroyed.

Besides, there is no need to combine too many weapons, and it is better to use this effort to find another magic weapon, and in the future, a stone egg will be refined into a medium-grade magic weapon that can be divided into attacks. What's more, if Baoyu really refined this kind of magic weapon, how could he carry it with him? Can't he carry two sacks on his back everywhere he goes, and the sacks are full of "eggs", right?

Baoyu laughed again when he heard this, he also thought that scene was quite funny, and then asked: "If I refine the appearance of eighty-one stone eggs into one, I don't always have to carry two sacks of this size when I go out, is it okay?"

Zhu Ming sat on a tree hill in the distance, and if Baoyu could see his appearance, he would definitely find that this mountain god, who could barely move, had changed his face. Because the question raised by Baoyu is that with his existing cultivation, he can theoretically refine the ultimate realm of magic weapons. And this kind of extreme that ordinary monks can only imagine is actually impossible to do.

The surname of the Heavenly Treasure can undergo subtle changes in the refining process, and the reason why the magic weapon is a magic weapon is completely different from the ordinary artifacts that ordinary people can understand. Theoretically, such a special heaven and earth treasure like the one Baoyu found can completely melt two stone eggs into one, which usually looks like an egg, but when it is beaten, it can be turned into two identical eggs.

If he continued to refine like this, then eighty-one stone eggs could be turned into one stone egg, which was very convenient to carry on his body. When this artifact is sacrificed, it can be turned into eighty-one pieces. While this is not necessary most of the time, as it also distracts from the power of the supernatural powers, it is theoretically possible to have this kind of magic after all.

Then such a magic weapon is actually still a low-grade magic weapon, because its wonderful use of this kind of split attack comes from the special surname of the material itself, but it has to be refined in a way that can almost only be imagined in theory, but it is impossible to succeed in practice. However, for the cultivation of the upper realms of the Ascending Avenue, the exploration of various possible surnames in theory is also very important.

Zhu Ming pondered for a long time before replying: "It's not impossible for you to think like this, you can try it with the cultivation of the Four Realms, but it is difficult to do it." There are also some secret method inheritances in the world that are based on the skill of refining weapons, if according to their experience, if you refine the weapon like this, when you refine the third piece, the difficulty will be more than twice as high as that of the second one, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes, if you can refine nine pieces, it will already be the realm of the four realms and nine transformations. And after you break through the Four Realms and reach the Five Realms, there is no longer any need to continue refining like this. โ€

If there were a different person, Zhu Mingke would be able to tell the other party directly-you don't dream! But he still had reservations in front of Baoyu, saying "difficult" rather than "impossible".

Hearing this, Baoyu said happily: "That's what I thought when I was refining stone eggs on the mountain some time ago, and that's what I can do now, so it turns out that this is the case! As for the kind of secret method inheritance you mentioned, it's very interesting, using the results of refining tools to measure the realm, but even if you don't refine tools, you can still achieve nine transformations?"

Zhu Ming replied: "They may not be ignorant, but in this way, the standard is very clear, and the secret method they cultivate is to rely on refining utensils. Kid, you already have a portable magic weapon, don't think too much about it for the time being, remember what you came to do today?"

Baoyu: "Of course I know, I'm here to break branches, can I start now?"

But the mountain god said, "Don't worry, you first take a lotus seed and sit in the water, and scatter your stone eggs in each lotus pond." Let Xiaotian come to this throne, and when I want you to break the branches, I will let Xiaotian call you. โ€

Zhu Ming has the authority of the mountain god when he speaks, and he doesn't explain when he doesn't want to, although Baoyu is surprised, he still does it. Baoyu sprinkled the eighty-one stone eggs into the surrounding lotus ponds, and these heavenly and earthly treasures sank into the spring of eternal clarity, half-sunk on the five-colored divine mud, surrounded by the flowers, leaves, rhizomes of the immortal elixir.

Baoyu also walked into the lotus pond, the water was not deep and only reached the waist, but it happened to be topped when he sat cross-legged. In the past, he used to sit on the white jade throne, while Xiao Tian was playing in the water, but today it was reversed. Sitting in the water naturally has to rest, and the body and mind are one with this strange little world, and have another mysterious experience, Baoyu's concentration is very peacefulโ€”this is the first time he has experienced the method of inner rest.

When the cultivation reaches a certain level, you can go without eating, and the monks often call it Bigu. Ordinary people's vitality comes from grain food, but monks have other mystical methods to reach this realm. However, if you have not cultivated to the Seven Realms, you still can't stop eating completely, but in some cases, you can go without eating for a long time, which is also a kind of cultivation.

Along with this kind of cultivation, what can also be experienced is the inner breath, which is the foundation of Bigu and a way for monks to restrain their own spiritual energy. The mountain god didn't tell Baoyu what Bigu was, but apart from the immortal elixir, Baoyu hadn't eaten for a long time. The mountain god didn't tell him what internal breath was and how to master it, but let him sit in the water, and Baoyu naturally realized it.

Leaving the white jade altar to sit in this water and enter the inner breath, Baoyu has a clearer experience, he is a part of this small world, like the divine lotus in the pond and the Langji jade tree on the shore. Then he realized that this small world was shrouded in a strange power, isolated from the prying eyes of the outside world, and at the same time, it was also gathering the vitality and aura between heaven and earth.

There is a magic circle laid by Emperor Taihao back then, Baoyu has not learned the formation, and he cannot arrange the same magic circle now, this small world has left a clear outline in his Yuan Shen, and he can slowly understand it in the future, and he is just experiencing it at the moment. Baoyu also noticed the peculiarity of the white jade altar, which was in the center of the circle. Xiao Tian, who was sitting in the middle of the white jade altar, seemed to be able to possess some kind of strange mana. This mana did not come from Xiao Tian himself, it should have been left by Emperor Taihao.

Of course, the white jade altar and the Dharma seat in the middle have a mystery, otherwise how could they only sit in that place to communicate with the mountain god? Although Baoyu still can't see through the mystery, he sees it after all. He had taken a lotus seed before he sat down, and now he was able to fully refine and absorb its divine effects.

The little celestial sat in the center of the altar like a dog, and he didn't know what the mountain god was communicating with him. In this way, a day and a night passed, and Baoyu finally completely refined and absorbed the divine effect of that lotus seed, instead of just melting into the form of the god as before.

Xiao Tianli jumped into the lotus pond, raised his head on the water and screamed a few times, which meant that the mountain god beckoned Baoyu to break the branches. Baoyu got up and walked out of the lotus pond, and when he stepped ashore, the water was dry, and he sat down again in the center of the white jade altar. The voice of the mountain god asked, "Child, do you see that?"

This sentence obviously has a deep meaning, and Baoyu replied, "I see it." โ€

Mountain God: "Well, you can try this piece of Lang Zhi." I can't give you too long, and you only have one chance, so do it yourself. โ€

A Lang Ji fruit flew out of the clay pot and was held under Baoyu's tongue. In the past, he only took one immortal elixir at a time in the Taihao Ruins, but this time he had already taken a lotus seed, but he also contained a Langji fruit. After refining with mana, the Langji fruit immediately dissolved, but it did not shoot through the body as before, Qiongguang completely transformed into Baoyu's form and god, and his bones and organs even faintly became transparent, looking a bit like a human-shaped Langji tree, rooted in the altar seat.

This was a sign that the magic effect of the Lang Yu Fruit had been refined and absorbed by him, rather than just refining the form god and then dissipating as before. At this time, the altar also changed, and there was a mysterious mana that communicated with this small world. Baoyu, who was sitting in the center of the altar, opened his eyes and stretched out a hand, pointing to the branch in front of him.

At this moment, his arm is almost transparent, like another crystal clear branch, but no matter how long his hand is, it can't reach that branch. I saw that his palms and fingertips were emitting Qiong light, shining out and merging with the Qiong light on the branches. Zhu Ming was also a little nervous, he was expecting the child to completely break off the Langji branch and insert it into the clay pot.

However, Zhu Ming didn't see this scene, the Qiong light emitted by Baoyu's hand suddenly disappeared, and the Langji branch disappeared inexplicably, just like the branch had never grown on the Langji jade tree. The moment the Lang Ji branch disappeared, the change of the altar also stopped, Zhu Ming originally said that the time for Baoyu was not long, and the opportunity was only this time, but the real time for Baoyu was much shorter than he expected.

Where's the branch? Even if you search this small world, you can't find it again, and Baoyu put down her hand and closed her eyes, as if she was experiencing something in the fixed realm. Zhu Ming was in a trance on the Shude Hill, and for a moment he actually left the Yuan Shen Realm, because only he knew the whereabouts of the Lang Ji branch - he was integrated into the form of God by Baoyu!

The plant of the immortal elixir is, of course, a heavenly treasure that can refine an artifact, and what is even more bizarre is that it is already the first embryo of an artifact, and the material can directly become an artifact without any refining, only the last step of reading power forming and completing the artifact. Since it is an artifact, it can change with the body and mind and integrate into the form and god without any trace.

But if you want to do this, you must either be an immortal family who has already stepped into the path to heaven, or a monk above the Six Realms who has obtained the inheritance of the artifact. But Baoyu only has four realms, and under normal circumstances, even if he gets the inheritance of the artifact, he can only use it as a powerful magic weapon, and cannot be integrated into the form of a god.

Theoretically speaking, there is only one possibility for Baoyu to come to this situation - this artifact was refined by himself! But if you want to refine an artifact, you must at least have the cultivation to transcend the transformation realm, which is far beyond the difficulty of using an artifact, how can it be something that a minor monk of the four realms can do?

But Baoyu did it, his breath merged with the Langji tree, and wrapped it in the Qiongguang light transformed by the Langji fruit, which was the method of breaking off the Langji branch. Although there are other secret ways to break off the branch, it is the best and most perfect. Baoyu didn't just want to successfully break off this branch, otherwise as soon as the essence qi that wrapped the branch dispersed and the mana he used was collected, the branch would still turn into a clear light and disperse.

Therefore, when Baoyu breaks it, it becomes a complete artifact that is one with the body and mind, and is separated from the reading power of the Langji tree. Then at the same time as breaking off the Langji branch, Baoyu is equivalent to refining it into an artifact.

In Zhu Ming's expectation, he planned to let Baoyu first break off the Langji branch and insert it into the clay pot on the altar, continue to cast a spell to wrap and seal it with Qiongguang, and then let him use the magic of this altar to use the mana left by Emperor Taihao back then, so that the artifact could be formed. This was originally two steps in a row, and after the first step was successful, the second step was discussed, but Baoyu directly completed the two steps together.
