Chapter 222: False Fire
"Really?" Long Yuan's eyes lit up, what he needed to improve most now was the realm, otherwise, no matter how outstanding his combat strength was, it would be impossible to cross the hurdle of the arrogance realm.
"Uh-huh. Chihong stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
"Teacher, you teach me how to refine weapons, I promise that there will be no distractions. ”
"That's right. Chihong was quite satisfied with Long Yuan's current attitude.
"Next, I will tell you about the knowledge of refining weapons. In the early stage, the refiner can rely on his own metallic true qi and fire attribute true qi to refine the true qi in his body to form the appearance of a weapon. The martial artists of the Transformation Weapon Realm gather qi to form a blade is the prototype of refining weapons, but the qi blades that ordinary martial artists turn into in the Transformation Weapon Realm do not have the shape of a real weapon. However, after the alchemy technique is improved, the metallic true qi in the body alone cannot supply the needs of refining weapons, so it is necessary to find metal as a material. Like the alchemist, refining weapons also requires furnaces, flames, materials, and spiritual power, the difference is that the materials needed by the alchemist are medicinal materials, while the alchemist needs metals. ”
Long Yuan sat up straight and listened very carefully.
"Teacher, the essence of true qi is pure qi, isn't it gas? How can it be refined into the appearance of an entity? Since it is refining, there must be fire, so won't the true qi be burned even thinner, and it will definitely be burned away in the end. Since Long Yuan listened carefully, it was easy to have questions, after being a "martial arts blind" for so many years, he was now caught with a teacher, a word, and asked.
"You don't know anything about Qingqi. Chihong glanced at Long Yuan, and then explained, "Although Qing Qi is also Qi and can be breathed, it is very different from the air we breathe in our cognition. There are three states of any substance, solid, liquid and gaseous, which is the true knowledge discovered by a school of Xuanmen, Gewupa, which once claimed that the three states of matter can be changed by applying pressure, or by changing the temperature, such as water vapor cooling or pressurizing into water, and then it can turn into ice, and vice versa. I understand your question, true qi or pure qi may change state after being transformed, but once the surrounding environment is the same, it will turn back into a gaseous state, right?"
"Yes, teacher, what I don't understand is this, as you said, under the condition of the existence of water vapor, it will turn into water, but it must not be long-term, and eventually water will turn into water vapor. Could it be that the weapons refined by the refiner are also consumable?"
"That's what I'm talking about, you don't know anything about Qingqi. When the study of the Gewu School of Xuanmen gradually matured, they actually began to study Qingqi, and finally found that this substance had too many contradictions with their research, and the weapon that the refiner could refine the true qi into a physical substance was one of them. Therefore, clean gas is fundamentally different from ordinary gases, and the three-state change is not strict. In addition, when refining true qi, metallic true qi needs to be added to act as a blender, which allows refiners to refine weapons in the early stage. ”
Long Yuan nodded again and again, like an initiation.
"However, the Gewu sect of the Xuanmen is also dead, and it is already difficult to understand the world, and they even want to study the martial arts world and take this as their way. Pure Qi hinders their cognition of things, makes their thoughts inaccessible, and blocks their path to seeking the Tao. In the end, these people actually said that Qingqi did not belong to this world originally, and came from some extraterrestrial sky, what nebula, what kind of extrariver and the like, and also said that our martial artists were some kind of extraterrestrial visitors, aliens, demons or something. The power of the last martial sect was tireless, and the two slaps almost broke the inheritance of this genre. ”
"This Gewu school is really talented. Long Yuan also shook his head, feeling amused.
"Originally, some things can't be traced back to the source, just take the article that spiritual things have pure qi as positive and turbid qi as evil, and the devil knows why? Chihong looked at Long Yuan, looking like a teacher teaching a disciple.
"Got it. ”
"By the way, I just said something, and you forgot about it. ”
"The teacher talked about the difference between an alchemist and an alchemist. ”
"Oh. Distinguish...... Another point is that the refiner's Ding furnace is the Inner Ding, which is formed over the sea of qi in the body first, and when the alchemy and self-cultivation are improved, when the metal can be refined, then the Inner Ding will break out of the sea eye. ”
Because of Chihong's promise and listening to Chihong's lessons, Long Yuan listened carefully to the teacher's lecture like a well-behaved scholar, and asked questions after class.
"As for the flame, because the refiner's own true qi has fire attributes, in the realm of the refining weapon, the refiner can use his own fire attribute true qi above the sea of qi to form a true qi flame through the inner ding to refine the true qi, but this kind of true qi flame is not the best choice for refiners, and even better is the flames on the alien beasts, such as the red flame turtle and the lava crocodile. Of course, the best flame is a false fire. ”
"False fire?"
Looking at Long Yuan's blank expression, Chi Hong explained: "False fire is an analogy for a type of flame, and it is the general name of the strange fire in the world. This kind of flame is different from the ordinary flames in the world, which are nothing more than the fire of drilling wood, the fire of hitting stones, the fire of gold, the fire of oil, etc. However, the false fire is much more powerful than these flames, some of which have existed in the world for thousands of years, and have no less spirituality than human beings. Heavenly Fire, Divine Fire, and Cultivation Fire are all false fires. The unquenchable flame of our fire-crowned clan is also a kind of false fire. ”
"It turns out that the Flame of Immortality is a kind of fire, no wonder it is so difficult. Long Yuan said.
"Although the Immortal Flame is a false fire, it is not the most powerful, and the Heavenly Fire and the Divine Fire are much more powerful than it. Chihong continued.
"Teacher, what are Tianhuo and Shenhuo?" Since the teacher had the heart to explain to him, Long Yuan asked.
"Heavenly Fire has four major Heavenly Fires, Golden Fire, Burning Sky Purple Fire, Netherworld Ghost Fire, Six Ding Divine Fire, in addition to Tushi Purple Flame and Lingguang Fire. Divine fire is the flame possessed by some divine beasts and gods, such as Bi Fang's Chiwen Strange Fire, as well as Vermilion Bird's Divine Monarch Flame, Yanguang King Buddha's Wuyu Light Flame, etc. The fire of cultivation has the true fire of samadhi and the true fire of emptiness. Both of these kinds of false fire belong to the disciples of the cultivation system, the samadhi true fire can be obtained by the cultivation of the Xuanmen monks, and the true fire of sexual emptiness is cultivated by the practitioners of the Buddhist sect. These false fires are cultivated by Dao disciples, and we martial arts disciples generally can't get them, but we have a way to borrow their true fire, so as to achieve common knowledge. "Chi Hong Dao.
Long Yuan stretched his neck and asked, "How can I borrow it?"
Chihong looked at Long Yuan and smiled, and said, "Find a female disciple of the Dao system who has cultivated the true fire of samadhi or the true fire of sexual emptiness, and fall in love with her." ”
Long Yuan was stunned when he heard this, these four elders were all old monsters, and they were so disrespectful. After a sigh, he asked, "Then why is Chiyan also false, and why didn't the teacher accept him as a disciple?"
"That kid doesn't want to be an alchemist himself, and even if he wanted to, he didn't have that talent. Chihong was a little impatient by Long Yuan's question, but considering that Long Yuan really didn't know anything, he patiently explained.
"What other talents do you need?" Long Yuan said in surprise.
"The talent for controlling the temperature of the fire is directly related to the strength of the mind. Chi Yan and the others can only control the Immortal Flame for attack and defense, but they can't control it to refine their breath. What's more, refining weapons will be distracting and affect the process of cultivation, except for when a big battle breaks out with fierce beasts or demons, the refiner can show his strength and feet, and the world is peaceful at other times, and there is no sense of existence. Therefore, Chi Yan didn't want to learn to refine weapons. Chihong explained.
"Teacher, will refining weapons delay my cultivation?"
"I said yes, don't you want to learn?" Chi Hong pinched his chin and squinted at Long Yuan with old eyes.
"Learn. Looking at Chihong's appearance, Long Yuan didn't dare to say anything else.
"Although the refiner has a prominent position in the world, in the martial arts, the disciples of the martial sect only respect them, and there is no other worship or flattery. You also know that martial arts disciples don't like to rely on foreign objects, even weapons, unless they reach the great tribulation of the world, martial arts disciples rarely use powerful weapons. The mentality of a loose cultivator and a martial disciple is different. Have you ever seen a martial arts disciple seeking medical advice and taking pills? In the world, everyone who cultivates martial arts wants to become a refiner, but in the martial arts, the situation is very different. So even if Chi Yan wanted to learn how to refine weapons, his father might not be willing. Chihong's face was a little depressed, no matter how prominent his status was in the world, it was because of the value of the weapons he refined, but not because of his exploits in the Great Tribulation. In the martial arts, only the front-line personnel who threw their heads and shed their blood in the catastrophe are easy to be remembered.
Long Yuan was silent for a while when he heard this, thoughtful. Now, from his own point of view, he is not willing to rely on other external forces in his cultivation, but now that he has important things to complete, there is no need to be obsessed with whether or not to borrow foreign objects at this time.
Looking at the somewhat depressed look on Chihong's face, Long Yuan said, "Teacher, martial arts disciples don't like to rely on foreign things, this is a good thing. If this causes the refiner to have a weak sense of presence in the martial arts, I don't think there is any need for us to fight for any glorious status in the martial arts, our role is unknown to people in the world, but every martial arts disciple must know it. Every time the Great Tribulation comes, our refiners are with the disciples on the front line, and don't they just hold the weapons we refine in their hands? As the teacher said before, a high-level refiner and others give a head courtesy, which in itself is an affirmation of us. The disciples of the martial arts sect do not fight for fame, teacher, you have drilled the horns of the bull. ”
After a pause, Long Yuan said again: "In the face of the Great Tribulation, the role of the refiner is beyond doubt. If the alien beast and the demon clan appear at the same time, the martial disciples may not be able to handle it, but if every martial arts disciple has a powerful weapon that we have refined in their hands, then maybe we will turn the tide and help the building to fall. Therefore, we should work harder to improve our attainments in refining weapons, and when the time comes for the martial arts and the survival of mankind, we will be the last killer weapon. After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden. In times of crisis, we show our skills. Take the Fire Crown Cave Heaven as an example, they really don't use weapons now, but if it comes to the moment of danger and the manpower is difficult to overcome the sky, the teacher's weapon is the key to determining survival. ”
Long Yuan looked at Chi Hong with burning eyes, this was indeed his heartfelt words.
Chihong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Long Yuan in surprise, he really didn't expect Long Yuan to have such an awareness at such an age.
"Okay! That's right! Hahaha, I didn't look away. Haha......" Chihong burst into a wild laugh.
