Xiao Sa was just thinking about it, and he was very nervous, and Baoyu seemed to say thank you and left. Only then did she react when they left. The girl couldn't help but reach out and stroke her heaving chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in her heart—Could it be that she was thinking too much? At the same time, she was inexplicably a little lost.

......

Baoyu asked the little girl for the destroyed empty mulberry branch, not only to keep it as a souvenir, but of course it was not a way to confess or as some kind of token of love. The girl had been thinking too much about it just now, and Baoyu had thought a lot about it last night when she sensed the spirituality of the empty mulberry branch and refined the magic weapon, but they didn't think about it at all.

Baoyu's sentence to Xiao Sa, "refining tools are also refining people", is his own deep understanding. Although he refined another empty mulberry branch into an eight-leaf magic weapon in one go, there was one most important process that he did not complete by himself. What he got in his hand was a treasure of heaven and earth that was already pure in physical nature, and after the disciples of Refining Branch Peak broke through the four realms, they could use it to assist and seal their cultivation, and one leaf would use it to unfold their spiritual wonders.

How did a branch that originally grew on the empty mulberry tree become such a treasure of heaven and earth? This process was not completed by Baoyu's hands, but by the Venerable Elder of the Refining Branch Peak, and Baoyu's understanding was not clear enough. Last night, his main energy was spent refining magic weapons, so he also hoped to continue to study this empty mulberry branch, sensing all the changes it had changed from an ordinary branch to the unique heaven and earth treasure of the Refining Branch Peak, to the eight-leaf magic weapon, and finally destroyed.

Even if it is destroyed, it will leave its unique vein texture, which is what Baoyu wants to study, and can only be clearly observed by using a method similar to the warm sacrificial vessel. There are probably few people in the world who can put such thought into a damaged artifact as Baoyu, because it will never become the magic weapon of the past.

Seeing this empty mulberry branch, Baoyu also thought of the cultivation of people, especially those who cultivated the strength of the mountain. The martial arts in the opening mountain are cultivated to the extreme, and they can even operate the strength of the form and god to release outward, and they can exert strength from all parts of the body. But no matter how strong the skill is, this kung fu itself cannot break through the cultivation equivalent to the third realm, that is, it can only touch foreign objects but cannot control them.

The cultivation of martial arts is also equivalent to refining weapons, so what it refines is the person himself, so that the person has the most perfect body in the ideal, becomes healthy and strong, and has amazing strength, and can master and use this power. However, if the power of Wu Ding Gong is excessively used, it may also injure the internal organs. This injury is difficult to regulate, and if it is out of control, it is equivalent to damage, and at this time, it is not the utensils but the person himself who is damaged.

Cultivating martial arts can make a person's innate physique and strength reach a perfect state, but if you want to have a more magical "spiritual use", you must require yourself to break through to a higher cultivation realm. This process is also equivalent to the change of the object, and only by feeling the extreme of one's own physical nature can one be endowed with more subtle divine powers.

Baoyu had never missed a weapon, let alone damaged any heavenly treasures, so he not only wanted to study how this empty mulberry branch went through the growth and refining process, but also wanted to see how others failed in the refining?

He shouted, "Hanxiong, what are you doing sneakily this morning?"

Hanxiong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiaolu, did you go to Miss Xiaosa again just now?"

Baoyu: "Yes, I returned her magic weapon, do you have something to do with her?"

Hanxiong: "I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for you." Last night, I touched the sword embryo and pondered for a long time, and I felt that the method you used to point to the stone wall with the sword embryo that day and guide Xiao Sa to find the martial arts stone was really amazing! Is that also one of the spiritual uses of the sword embryo?

Baoyu smiled: "What's inconvenient about this? If you talk about the magic of spirituality, everything in this world has its own spirituality and has its wonderful use, and what I have exerted is just a kind of sensing power. With your current Three Realms and Nine Transformation Cultivation, you already have the ability of your divine consciousness to sense physical nature, and I can also teach you to try it. ...... I'm just about to go out for a walk, so let's talk as we go. ”

As he spoke, Baoyu whistled, and Xiao Tian ran over with his tail wagging out of nowhere. Last night, when Baoyu was refining, Xiao Tian sat at the door of the cave to protect the Dharma, but as soon as it was dawn, she ran away without a trace. At this moment, it barked twice at Baoyu, and Baoyu understood what it meant—the dog had found the trace of the snake girl, and had found clues to the breath she had left behind when she fled.

The encounter with the snake girl happened just yesterday, and the snake girl fled with her wounds and panic, although she did not want to expose her whereabouts, it was difficult to completely hide her breath, and she would leave some clues in the mountains. In just one day and one night, these traces have not completely disappeared, and Xiaotian can find them. If you talk about the ability to sense the aura to track in the mountains, Xiao Tian is even more powerful than Baoyu.

Hanxiong followed the man and the dog, leaving the rocky slope and walking into the depths of the vast jungle. This big man is not stupid, seeing that Xiao Tian ran to the vicinity of yesterday's col to drill into the jungle, although no one seems to have been to these places, but some blades of grass have traces of being subdued, he blinked his eyes and asked mysteriously: "Mr. Xiaolu, are you looking for the snake girl?"

Baoyu nodded and said, "Yes, she has injuries on her body, and she seems to have encountered some problems in her cultivation, and I am worried that she will not escape too far, so I found a place to retreat and recuperate." If the place is not hidden enough, it can still be discovered. The breath and whereabouts she left yesterday were not obvious, but they were found by the dog. The monks of the Mountain of Beasts claimed that they were no longer looking for her, but they were not necessarily telling the truth. I was trying to remind her that if I could, I would help. ”

Han Xiong praised and said: "Yes, you should do it! Yesterday in front of the girl's family, you were embarrassed to say it, but I can already see that you mean it." ...... Yan Feng disappeared before dawn, he must be looking for the snake girl, you have to catch up with him!"

Baoyu smiled: "Since I'm looking for it, why can't I let others go to her too?" If Yan Feng has no malicious intent, this is not a bad thing, didn't you say it yesterday?"

Although Xiao Tian is good at tracking, the snake girl must have been afraid of being found yesterday, and she was very careful when she escaped, leaving not many traceable traces, and the breath that could be sensed was also intermittent. Xiao Tian needs to stop from time to time to search the neighborhood and determine the next direction before he can continue to track. Therefore, Baoyu and Hanxiong did not follow the dog very fast.

Hanxiong said with some concern: "It doesn't seem to be easy to find, what if you can't find her?"

Baoyu spread her hands: "You think too much! If you can't find it, you can't find it, if you can't find me, it means that it is difficult for others to find her, she should have left safely, why should I worry about anything?...... Didn't you look for me for something, is it just to accompany me to find the snake girl?"

Hanxiong slapped the door of his head: "Yes, I almost forgot about the serious matter! I just want to ask you how you used this sword embryo to guide the little sprinkler girl to find the martial arts beauty stone?...... Such a spiritual use. When I go back, I'll have to make it clear to my father!" he untied the burden on his shoulder, took out the sword embryo, and handed it over.

With such a valuable treasure, of course, Hanxiong didn't feel at ease to stay in the stone chamber and always carry it with him. Baoyu waved his hand and didn't answer, and pointed to the little heaven in front of him: "In terms of its metaphysics, it's actually similar to this dog tracking the snake girl, it doesn't have seen the snake girl......

Baoyu did not hide his secrets, and explained his experience and the secret magic powers he used to Hanxiong. These were not taught by anyone, but he realized them consciously or unconsciously in his cultivation. I think that Baoyu found a lot of stone eggs with the help of a stone egg. When he got to know Cangjie, his comprehension of this magical method reached a deeper level. In fact, the so-called physical properties can also be said to be the texture of a certain memory of everything.

First of all, this is a way to exercise the sense of consciousness to reach a very subtle state. Sensing the physical properties of something and incorporating this physical nature into the divine consciousness is again the method of transforming the divine consciousness. Then this kind of divine consciousness unfolding becomes a unique spell. In order to arouse the same physical resonance between heaven and earth.

When it is cast, it can be used as a guide. This thing may not be a magic weapon, but the caster himself seems to be a magic weapon. And the wonder of the unfolded divine consciousness is equivalent to the spiritual use of the magic weapon.

The valleys in this area are littered with mufu crusts that were abandoned by miners many years ago. Baoyu asked Hanxiong to put away the sword embryo, picked up a few stone shells, and instructed him on the spot to use this secret magic power and try to experience it.

Baoyu finally said: "If you don't have that sword embryo, in fact, you can directly use the martial arts stone as a guide." But at that time, we didn't have the Takefu Meishi in our hands, and it was better to use the sword embryo to find the ore vein. ...... The traces I sensed with the sword embryo were not the Wufu stone itself at first, but the direction of the vein when it was formed. ”

Hanxiong's cultivation is a big realm worse than Baoyu's, and his technique is even worse, but after trying for a long time, he can barely sense some of the surrounding stone shells with the stone shells in his hand, and gather them with the method of imperial objects. Later, he touched his head and said: "Some stone shells are nearby, but I can't sense a stone shell with a stone shell as a guide, but I find out the stone shell farther away." ”

Baoyu nodded and said: "The Wufu stone shell is produced by the infiltration and fusion of certain substances into the surrounding rock layers in the process of natural creation of Wufu stone. Depending on the surrounding rock formations, the physical properties of the crust are also different. When you use a crust, you sense other crusts in the same rock formation. ”

Hanxiong can be regarded as a true disciple of a big sect, and he knows very well that what Baoyu teaches is a unique secret method, so he taught him so casually, and he explained it so carefully. Han Xiong was grateful in his heart, and at the same time, how could he miss such a good opportunity to ask for advice, and then asked: "Using the stone to sense the direction of the ore vein, it seems to be a different mystery, how did you do it?"

Baoyu replied: "It's not that the metaphysics are different, but the realm is different. You haven't broken through the four realms yet, and even if you learn such a secret method, you won't be able to use that kind of method. ”

Hanxiong tried for a long time, but Xiao Tian didn't walk fast anyway, so he played as a stone shell along the way. But the means he used were far worse than Baoyu, this was not a difference in the origin of the Great Dao, nor was it a difference in the secret method, but in the comprehension and mastery of the person who cast the spell.

The content of Baoyu's explanation is close to the origin of the Tao, and it is applied to the corresponding realm and the texture perception of all things, and such a means has evolved. When Hanxiong was taught and then used it, it became a pure secret magic power, and then for cultivators, the level was different.

Although Hanxiong's appearance is honest, he is quite knowledgeable. After trying it for a long time, he said, "Mr. Xiaolu, if you reach the realm of extreme wisdom and cooperate with your unique cultivation, the power of your secret power is unimaginable. You're just teaching me how to use the stone shell as a guide and sense the stone shell of other kinds. What if this kind of induction is turned into a kind of inducement that can attract the power of wind and thunder between heaven and earth?"

Baoyu frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "I have also heard of such a secret magic power when the wind and rain and thunder and lightning between heaven and earth are operated, and if this method is used, it is also possible." But when it comes to that realm, it's not as simple as our demonstration today, it requires special cultivation, and even needs to use some special rune supernatural power to refine the texture of wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the primordial spirit. ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard Xiaotian roar twice, and suddenly accelerated his speed and ran forward. They had already gone far in the mountains and forests, and when the snake girl ran to this position, she thought she had fled far enough, so she was no longer so careful, so the trail left was continuous and obvious. And it was clear that these breaths had been left over from the previous night, and that she had just passed through this place.

Baoyu and Hanxiong stopped talking, and followed Xiao Tian as they walked out of the dense primeval jungle, bypassing a high slope overgrown with shrubs and rocks, and stopping at the edge of a high cliff. With a deciduous forest above and a horseshoe-shaped valley with rocks in front of it, this is a secluded shelter from the wind, a place that few people usually visit, and a relatively safe place to recuperate.

Xiao Tian stood still on the edge of the high cliff, looking ahead and not running. Hanxiong asked, "Why didn't your dog go forward?"

Baoyu lowered her voice and said, "There is no need to run anymore, the snake girl's hiding place is in front, and there is a stone cave in the rock formation there, and the entrance can be faintly seen from here." She should have hid inside to recuperate, and she had to rest after escaping all night, maybe she was in retreat. Let's not frighten her, let alone disturb her for a while. ...... Someone is coming over there, it seems to be Yanfeng. ”

"Two, don't you disturb anyone? What a coincidence, we actually met here, why are you here too?" As soon as Baoyu finished speaking, Yan Feng walked out of the deciduous forest above and spoke with a smile.

Hanxiong just wanted to divert the topic to cover up, but Baoyu nodded and replied: "We are here to follow the traces of the snake girl, I am a little worried about the monks of the Beast Mountain, and she has injuries on her body, and there seems to be something wrong with her cultivation. Mr. Yanfeng, aren't you also looking for her?"

Yanfeng set off before dawn, and after a long day in the mountains, he finally found this place, but he happened to see Baoyu and Hanxiong. He was taken aback and secretly disappointed, but he still greeted the two with a smile on his face. Hanxiong sighed secretly, Baoyu's style of acting really made him have to sigh, he didn't mean to hide it, and directly broke the words.

The snake girl is recuperating in a cave in the distance, and it seems that Yanfeng has not found her yet. Hanxiong sighed that Mr. Xiaolu was really heartless, but in a flash, he felt that he was thinking too much. Now that Mr. Xiaolu has arrived here, there is nothing to do with Yanfeng!

Yan Feng laughed dryly and said: "Mr. Xiaolu is really a caring person, he let the snake girl leave yesterday, but he secretly paid attention to the traces, and he came over today." ...... Mr. Hanxiong, are you here to help Mr. Xiaolu find the snake girl, and who else is here?"

Hanxiong also smiled and said, "This kind of thing, how can it be convenient to bring others with me?" I happened to ask Mr. Xiaolu today, and the sword embryo can be used to search for the magic of the martial arts stone, so I followed him. ...... Later, when Mr. Xiaolu goes to see the snake girl, you and I will stop making fun. ”

At this moment, Xiao Tian whispered twice in the rocky bushes on the hillside not far away, and twisted his body and raised his tail to shake vigorously, as if beckoning Baoyu to pass. Everyone walked over quickly, and Baoyu leaned over and said, "Hey, is this the Bi Ling Flower? Well, it is exactly the same as the legendary Bi Ling Flower...... Looking at the color and texture of its stems and leaves, I am afraid that it has grown for more than 100 years, and its medicinal properties are extremely pure. ”

Biling flower is a strange flower, which is similar to snow lotus, which grows in the plateau area, but it is even rarer. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads tower-like multi-layered leaves at the beginning of summer and does not bloom until late in winter with goose-yellow fist-sized flowers with thin purple lines on the petals. The darker and clearer the color of this pattern, the longer it grows and the more refined its medicinal properties are.

The flowering period is only a few days, and soon after flowering, it is the season when the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and the plants that are exposed to the ground will soon wither. However, the well-developed root system, which is buried deep in the ground, is still alive and will continue to break through the ground and sprout the following year. Bi Ling Hua is the main medicine for refining Bi Needle Pill, and as for the spiritual effect of Bi Needle Pill, all the monks already know it very well.

It took at least sixty years to grow the Bi Ling Flower to meet the requirements for refining the Bi Needle Pill, and this elixir was very difficult to find. It is not the flowers, but the pale blue sap of the whole plant, especially the well-developed root system. Refining it with supernatural power and storing it in a special vessel is the Bi Ling liquid that can be used to refine the Bi Needle Dan.

In addition to being used to refine Bi Needle Pill, Bi Ling Liquid also has other uses, such as applying it to wounds to prevent infection, detoxifying seps, promoting bone and flesh regeneration, and purifying the body. The juice directly squeezed out of the Biling flower plant also has this effect, but its original juice cannot be kept for too long, and must be used on the spot, otherwise it will lose its effectiveness.
