Chapter 16: Trying
"Bodhi?"
Bai Xuan naturally didn't know what Bodhi wood was.
Looking at the unknown appearance of the two, Yin Wanwu explained with a smile,
"This Bodhi wood is a kind of spiritual Horcrux, elusive, the reason why the old man said that you are lucky is because this Bodhi wood is different from ordinary Horcruxes. There are four types of horcruxes in the world, the first is a general horcrux, just like the spirit beads you have seen before are general horcruxes, through the spirit beads, the soul refiner can extract and refine to form a soul source, so that the soul master can absorb and cultivate and improve the realm.
The second type is like Baiyu Mulan, a medicinal horcrux, this kind of horcrux cannot be directly refined into a soul source, and it needs to be combined with a variety of medicinal materials to refine the soul source, and the effect is much higher than that of ordinary horcruxes.
And this Bodhi wood is the third kind, called a rare Horcrux, the so-called rare Horcrux, that is, this kind of Horcrux can not only be refined into its own soul source, but also may undergo mutations, so as to extract a more advanced soul source.
For example, if this Bodhi Wood is in the hands of a soul refiner of some ranks, it has a high chance of refining into a "Bodhi Jade" soul source, which is a rare treasure for cultivation. ”
Bai Xuan chewed the words of Yin Wanwu carefully, nodded slightly,
"I didn't expect that the soul refiner still has so much knowledge, it's really not simple, by the way, sir, didn't you say that there are four, then there is another?"
Only then did Bai Xuan think that Yin Wanwu only said three kinds of Horcruxes,
"The fourth type is called the Ancient Horcrux, this kind of Horcrux is handed down from ancient times, how it was formed, where it appeared, there is no way to know, many people will not see it once in their lives. If you refine the soul source from the ancient horcruxes, the legend will not only greatly enhance your cultivation, but also keep you young forever, and even travel through time and space. ”
Yin Wanwu said this, and actually conjured a stone from his hand and threw it to Bai Xuan.
The stone composed of white points of light suddenly turned into a real thing in Bai Xuan's hands.
"Sir, what is this?"
Bai Xuan looked at this stone with some doubts, looking no different from other stones.
"This is the Ancient Horcrux. ”
Bai Xuan couldn't have imagined that Yin Wanwu would throw such an important thing into Bai Xuan's hands like garbage, so frightened that Bai Xuan's hands almost trembled and dropped the ancient horcrux to the ground.
"I didn't expect such an inconspicuous stone to be an ancient horcrux, that sir, if I refine this ancient artifact, I can become as strong as Tang Yue and them?"
Sure enough, since Bai Xuan saw the strength of Tang Yue and the others, he was always worried in his heart, and Yin Wanwu sneered,
"Think beautifully, do you really think there will be pie in the sky?"
Bai Xuan was suddenly lost and said,
"Then sir, you are talking about the Ancient Horcruxes so godly. ”
Yin Wanwu sighed and said slowly,
"The old man didn't exaggerate the role of this ancient horcrux, but this ancient horcrux was not something that ordinary soul refiners could refine. ”
Bai Xuan tilted his head and looked at the hidden way,
"Not even sir?"
Yin Wanwu shook his head and said with a wry smile,
"Naturally not, otherwise do you think I will give it to you so casually? If you want to refine this ancient horcrux, it is no longer a matter of realm or realm, grade or grade. All ancient horcruxes have been handed down from ancient times, and only those who have the blood of the gods can refine them, and even if ordinary people get them, they are just like you holding them in your hands, just a stone, and they have no effect. ”
"Bloodline of the gods? aren't these all legends, and there really are gods?"
Bai Xuan's eyes widened, and Bai Shushu was also dumbfounded.
Yin Wanwu smiled faintly,
"That's not true, the bloodline of the gods is all a matter of ancient times, their descendants are afraid that they only have the bloodline of demigods, and now they should also live in this soul continent, but whether they know it themselves or not, the old man doesn't know. ”
Saying that, Yin Wanwu sighed again,
"That's why ancient horcruxes have always been a legend, because no one knows where these people with demigod blood are, even they don't know. Besides, even if you find these people, if you don't have a soul refiner, you can't do it, so ah, if you want to refine the ancient horcrux, it's even more difficult. ”
Hearing Yin Wanwu say this, Bai Xuan thought about it carefully, and really felt that it was like a fool's dream to refine this ancient artifact, although he sighed and shook his head, he still carefully put the stone in his heart.
"Go, fold the Bodhi wood, be careful when you fold it, don't break it all, and leave three points. ”
Because Yin Wanwu is now a soul body, the things of reality can only pass through the palm, otherwise he must have broken it himself.
Yin Wan was careless in guiding Bai Shushu to break the wood, as if he was afraid that she would break it.
"Sir, why do you want to keep three points?"
Bai Shushu took his finger and buckled it at seven points, and found that it was a little hard and difficult to break, so he asked.
"Presumably, Mr. thinks that this kind of horcrux is rare, and it is not an easy task to absorb the aura of heaven and earth to grow so far. ”
Hearing Bai Xuan say this, Yin Wanwu was suddenly startled, looked back at Bai Xuan, and suddenly laughed after a long time,
"Good boy, the old man is very relieved to have such an awareness!"
Bai Xuan smiled, and arched his hand towards Yin Wanwu,
"The gentleman is serious. ”
Under the guidance of Yin Wanwu, Bai Shushu finally folded the Bodhi wood, and looking at Yin Wanwu's happy appearance, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu were also looking forward to it.
Yin Wanwu let Bai Shushu put the Bodhi wood on the ground, floated to the side, and slowly raised his hand, only to see Yin Wanwu's palm, which was rising at this moment.
After the points of light gradually stabilized, Yin Wanwu flipped his palm, and these points of light were like elves, happily circling around the Bodhi Wood, and suddenly, the Bodhi Wood, which was originally a broken dry branch, actually emitted a strange light.
"The key to refining the soul lies in three steps, and the first step is what the old man is doing now, understanding. Use your soul power to perceive the Horcrux to resonate, and the Horcrux will be used for you, and only when the soul refiner's soul power is higher than or equal to the power of the Horcrux, will there be a resonance reaction. ”
Yin Wanwu explained to Bai Xuan while demonstrating.
As the light points moved faster and faster, the light of the Bodhi Wood became more and more intense, and when the light of the Bodhi Wood was close to the limit, suddenly, the Bodhi Wood also shattered into countless points of light.
"This is the second step, called assimilation, that is, using soul power to temporarily assimilate the Horcrux with the soul refiner, this process will be very different depending on the strength of the Horcrux and the ability of the soul refiner. ”
Then Yin Wanwu flicked his fingers, and those points of light gradually dissolved like water droplets, watching the light points transformed into Bodhi wood and the points of light of Yin Wan Wu combined little by little, Yin Wanwu said,
"This third and most difficult step is called composition. It is to rearrange the scattered soul sources of the Horcrux and combine them with your own soul power to finally form a real soul source, which is similar to the soul gathering that the old man taught you before. ”
Bai Xuan suddenly realized when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Yin Wanwu asked Bai Xuan to practice soul gathering at that time, it turned out that it was to prepare for the composition of soul refining.
Slowly, those points of light finally merged together, but for some reason, the points of light that scattered white light suddenly turned golden.
Yin Wanwu said with a smile,
"The one you see now is the Soul Source. ”
Looking at the golden light source in front of him, Bai Shushu poked his finger with great curiosity,
"It's going to move! It's so soft, like cotton, it's warm, brother, try it quickly!"
Seeing Bai Shushu so excited, Bai Xuan couldn't help but be curious and gently poked the soul source,
"Really, I didn't expect this to be the soul source. ”
"Cotton? That's an interesting description. ”
Yin Wanwu thought about it carefully, and even agreed with Bai Shushu's words.
"Have you noticed that at the end of the day, the color of the soul source suddenly changed?"
Seeing that Yin Wanwu asked, Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu also nodded.
"That's the sign of mutation, and only at the moment of completion will you know if you can get the mutated soul source. ”
Bai Xuan thought that the discoloration was just a normal phenomenon, but he didn't expect it to be a mutation.
"That's... Then this is the Bodhi Jade Soul Source?"
Seeing that Bai Xuan was so surprised, Yin Wan said confidently,
"In the hands of the old man, it is difficult for it to be a Bodhi Wood Soul Source!"
Seeing that Yin Wanwu was so proud, Bai Xuan took the opportunity to say,
"Then sir, you might as well teach me how to absorb the soul source, otherwise this good thing will not be wasted. ”
Hidden Wanwu laughed,
"I know that your kid is worried about this, but it's a pity, with your current strength, this Bodhi Jade Soul Source is too powerful for you, and forcibly absorbing it will only do a hundred harms and no benefits, at least the meridians will be damaged, and at the worst you will vomit blood and die. ”
Bai Xuan looked at the golden soul source in front of him and said regretfully,
"Eh, it's a shame to have such a good thing. ”
Hidden everything thinks so,
"It's a pity, just keep it, you can't use it now, it doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. ”
"Huh, how do you collect this, do you just put it in your heart?"
Bai Xuan always thought that he would absorb the soul source immediately after the successful refining, and then he realized that it was really his own ignorance, which made Yin Wanwu see the joke.
"Wow. ”
I saw that the palm of the hidden sky turned into a glass bottle and threw it to Bai Xuan.
"This is called the Soul Gathering Bottle, and all soul sources can be filled with this bottle. ”
Bai Xuan hurriedly took the bottle, and just opened the cap, the Bodhi Jade Soul Source actually consciously got into the bottle, Bai Xuan closed the bottle cap, and threw the soul bottle into his heart, his face was full of joy.
"These are all theories, you should memorize them, but to become a soul refiner, the most important thing is practice, in fact, soul refining is not completely unified, each soul refiner will have some of their own characteristics when refining souls, so there will be slight differences in the quality of soul sources and effect characteristics in the world. The old man brought you here today just to let you try the feeling of soul refining by yourself. ”
"It's finally me. ”
Seeing Bai Xuan's eagerness to try, he smiled and said,
"Then go ahead, and the old man will see if there is anything suitable for you to practice. ”
After saying that, he led Bai Xuan and Bai Shushu and continued to walk straight towards the forest.
"Tricolor snake tongue grass".
"Water Jade Grass".
"Yin and Yang Leaves".
Along the way, Yin Wanwu introduced a lot of soul refining materials to Bai Xuan, but most of these were medicinal materials, and they could not be refined alone, so they could only give up, but Bai Xuan didn't waste the opportunity, and picked some scattered to facilitate practice and use in the future.
"Huh?"
It was when he walked through a section of stone road that Yin Wanwu suddenly stopped.
"Did you find anything, sir?"
Seeing that Yin Wan didn't stop, Bai Xuanbai was in a hurry.
"See that dark green stone?"
Yin Wanwu asked, pointing to the gravel road underground.
"Where, where?"
Bai Xuan followed the direction of Yin Wanwu's finger and searched for a long time, but the stones in this place were of any color, and their appearance was different, and Bai Xuan's eyes were all spent.
I didn't expect it to be white and sharp-eyed,
"That's what you're talking about, isn't that?"
Bai Shushu suddenly turned out a dirty dark green stone from under the two stones.
"Well, that's it, let's take a look at the old man. ”
Bai Shu sighed, and brought the stone closer to Yin Wanwu's eyes, Yin Wan looked at it for a while, and smiled,
"That's it. ”
Bai Xuan, who was still rummaging around with stones on the ground, heard Yin Wanwu say this, and suddenly got up and said,
"Sir, what is the origin of this stone?"
Yin Wanwu smiled,
"What's the beginning, this is a soul stone, the most ordinary Horcrux, anyone who practices soul refining, who is not used for the whole vehicle. Today, try to refine this soul stone for me. ”
Bai Xuan took the soul stone from Bai Shushu's hand, looked at it carefully, and then coughed lightly, learning what it looked like just now, put the soul stone on the ground, stretched out a hand, and palmed it up.
"Sir, don't say it, my brother's posture is quite presentable. ”
Seeing Bai Xuanpan sitting on the ground, Bai Shushu whispered in his ears.
Yin Wanwu shook his head with a smile,
"The old man is waiting to see. ”
Bai Shushu didn't understand what Yin Wanwu meant, and turned his head to look at Bai Xuan again.
Seeing Bai Xuan sitting motionless on the ground like this, I don't know how long it was, Bai Shushu began to feel strange, and asked in a low voice,
"Sir, what is my brother doing, why is there no movement at all?"
Unexpectedly, Yin Wanwu smiled evilly,
"It's not the right way, no matter how long you sit, it's useless. ”
This Bai Shushu and Bai Xuan are really on the same front, and only after listening to Yin Wanwu finish speaking, Bai Shushu shouted at Bai Xuan with his throat,
"Brother, Mr. said that your method is wrong, and it is useless to sit for a long time!"
Bai Xuan scratched his ears and cheeks and got up from the ground and complained,
"Sir, you are too unkind, why didn't you tell me when you saw it, it caused my legs to be numb. ”
Yin Wanwu wiped the silver beard,
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Bai Xuan was rubbing his legs and said lazily,
"It should be the use of soul power, I have always used the fighting soul, and now although I can distinguish it, I can't use this soul refining power. ”
Hidden eyebrows raised,
"Yes, it seems that I haven't sat in vain for so long. In fact, it is not difficult to drive the soul refining, the fighting soul is strengthened in the body, and the soul qi is released to hurt the enemy. But soul refining is strengthened in the soul, and the soul qi is restrained, and it is used for solids. Whenever you want to use soul power, you are using the power of release, naturally you will only use the fighting soul, if you use the introverted power, you can drive the soul refining. ”
Bai Xuan was a little confused when he heard it,
"What do you mean, sir?"
Yin Wanwu smiled,
"Realize it yourself, if you can realize this way, you will not be far from success. ”
Bai Xuan smiled when he heard this, and sat down cross-legged again,
"Then sir, just wait and see. ”
Looking at Bai Xuan's confident appearance, Yin Wanwu nodded, Bai Shushu gently walked around to Bai Xuan and sat down, looking forward to Bai Xuan's successful soul refining.
Although it is a good thing to show determination, Bai Xuan is still distressed, what is the introverted trend?
This is what Bai Xuan can't understand the most.
"Let's try to lift the soul energy first. ”
Bai Xuan thought like this, the soul power in his body began to operate, and the pale yellow soul energy on his body also rose.
"No, it's not right, it's still a fighting spirit. ”
Bai Xuan quickly realized the problem and quickly collected his soul energy.
"Sir said that the fighting spirit is the outward trend, but is the introverted trend the opposite? When I use the fighting spirit, I first use the body, muscles, meridians, and blood?"
Bai Xuan pondered over and over again, but still didn't seem to have a clue.
Every time I extract the fighting spirit, the first thing that swells is the blood of the whole body, the blood flow accelerates, and the whole body boils. Is soul refining all about slowing down? Can humans slow down the flow of blood?"
Bai Xuan felt that he had entered a dead end, and shook his head,
"No, it seems that you have to think about it from a different angle. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to use soul refining. ”
Bai Xuan chewed on the words of the hidden ten thousand words repeatedly,
"Outside... Restrained... Strange, what exactly does this mean?... Wait!"
Bai Xuan seemed to realize something,
"Mr. is talking about driving soul refining, but he also talks about using fighting souls. I seem to understand, I really thought wrong, I have been thinking about using the method of using the soul refining method, is the so-called introverted is to let the soul refining use you, you are just driving the soul refining?"
Bai Xuan's confused brain seemed to suddenly wake up at this moment,
"Give it a try!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xuan, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, suddenly made a move, and Bai Shushu and Yin Wanwu also moved in their hearts and looked forward to it.
I saw Bai Xuan slowly stretch out his right hand, palm up, and took a deep breath, his body was already distinguishing the two souls,
"Drive soul refining, then what does soul refining need?"
Bai Xuan used almost every cell in his body to feel the soul refining, the soul refining needed space, Bai Xuan adjusted the position of the fighting soul, the soul refining needed guidance, Bai Xuan controlled the bloodline closer, Bai Xuan could obviously feel that under his own cooperation, the soul refining became more and more active, and at the same time, it was more and more cooperative with Bai Xuan, and finally, the power of soul refining seemed to awaken, along the Bai Xuan meridians, and integrated into Bai Xuan's bloodline.
Bai Xuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yin Wanwu and Bai Shushu beside him, and said proudly,
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at it!"
I saw Bai Xuan exhale slowly, and at this moment, above Bai Xuan's palm, it was as if there was nothing, and a few small points of light rose up.
"Wow!
Bai Shushu cheered almost as soon as the light appeared.
Yin Wanwu also laughed with his silver beard, and his old face showed a look of satisfaction.
Bai Xuan looked at the point of light in his hand, although it was not as big as Yinwanwu, but it finally succeeded in driving the soul refining.
Bai Xuan was not disturbed by the noise around him, he still looked at the soul stone in front of him intently, understanding, Bai Xuan recalled the teaching of the hidden talents, only to see that the few small points of light slowly left from Bai Xuan's hand and approached the soul stone, and began to slowly rotate around the soul stone, at the moment when the light points rotated, Bai Xuan suddenly felt the breath of the soul stone in his heart, this breath was like a soul lodged in the soul stone, and suddenly drilled into Bai Xuan's heart at this moment,
"The so-called resonance seems to be taming this breath in the body!"
Bai Xuan couldn't help but sigh,
"It turns out that this is where the soul refiner fights. ”
Feeling the restlessness of the breath in his body, this kind of battle that can't be fought with his body, and simply uses his soul power in his body to tame, understand, and feel, Bai Xuan really feels very hard.
The breath in the body is like a frightened beast, scurrying around, indistinguishing between friend and foe.
Bai Xuan constantly tried to appease it, understand it, and eventually domesticate the beast.
Minutes and seconds passed.
After half an hour, the soul stone that had been lying on the ground for a long time finally reacted, and I saw that the light points around the soul stone were turning faster and faster, and finally, the soul stone emitted a resonant light.
"Looks like the kid has passed the first step. ”
Yin Wanwu thought about it and muttered.
Assimilation.
"Now that you have understood the soul stone and assimilated it, it shouldn't be so difficult. ”
After the battle of understanding just now, Bai Xuan was already sweating profusely, and this long period of guiding soul power also made him a little tired.
I saw Bai Xuan slowly drive the light spots, and the small light points accelerated.
Seeing the soul stone shatter into several points of light, Bai Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's still the hardest step left. ”
Structure.
Just like Yin Wanwu said, completing the entire process of refining souls at once is a very spiritually consuming thing, if he hadn't been taught by Yin Wanwu before, but on his own, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to complete the first step.
Just when the soul stone shattered, the breath in Bai Xuan's heart was also completely gone, leaving only a vague consciousness, this consciousness, like a huge building block puzzle, was scattered there irregularly.
What Bai Xuan has to do is to build these building blocks according to the appearance he wants, restore the broken puzzle pieces, and then use his soul refining power as a link between these building blocks and puzzles.
Bai Xuan closed his eyes and felt all this with soul refining, this was the first time Bai Xuan felt that soul refiners were like artists, they were creating and changing.
Although the process of refining souls was very hard, this wonderful feeling gave Bai Xuan an unprecedented sense of achievement.
Especially at this moment, when Bai Xuan saw with his own eyes that these points of light fused together, forming that small light source.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something, what a real soul refiner was.
"Success?"
Looking at the soul source in front of him, which was a little weak, but still exuded a soft light, Bai Xuan couldn't believe it.
The soul qi on Yin Wanwu's fingers gently plucked the soul stone soul source on the ground, squinting at Bai Xuandao,
"It worked. ”
