From summer to winter, Wu Xie has been busy refining various materials.

Every time he finished refining a material, new tasks would be assigned, one after the other, with little time to rest.

The content of these tasks is much the same, they are all about refining a special material. But the same refining is also different, the properties of various materials are very different, when refining them, not only rely on the wonderful nature of Nanming Lihuo, Wu Xie himself must also concentrate on fully understanding the nature of the raw materials and the needs after refining, in order to refine as much as possible.

This process is very painstaking, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and most importantly, boring.

When a certain material is refined for the first time, it is groping, when it is refined, when it is refined, when it is refined, it is improving, but when it is refined, it is just a simple mechanical repetition.

And this mechanical repetition is what he has been mainly doing during this time.

There is a proverb in the martial arts, "If you practice ordinary tricks 100,000 times, you can also practice powerful tricks...... but this is not true for immortals. The immortals possessed hundreds or thousands of times more soul and mental power than mortals, so even the most complex techniques they could master with a little practice. What hinders their progress is often some hard indicators – for example, whether the exercises themselves are appropriate? Have you attained the realm of cultivation? Is there enough true qi and mana?

Wu Jie's cultivation is still only in the middle stage of refining, but the accumulation of his soul and mental power has far exceeded the level of the middle stage of refining. Lingxiao Fire Department Rectification is worthy of the mastery of the Heavenly Realm Fighting God, Wu Xie will accumulate something in every battle, although the accumulation of true qi and mana is not obvious, but the tempering of the Dao heart, the growth of mental strength, and the reinforcement of the soul...... These are far beyond the normal level, so that the elders of the division can't help but sigh.

Elder Sun, who had fought side by side with the Taixu Patriarch, sighed: "After every battle, your realm will be significantly improved. If you continue like this, it may not be long before you can leapfrog thousands of years and surpass me......"

Among the materials refined by Wu Xie during this time, the most complex is a thing called "Moon Wolf Eye", which is the eye of a demon beast called "Moon Wolf". This material is very rare, because only the moon wolf that dies naturally can grow into this material, and as a demon beast, the moon wolf has a long lifespan...... The Sunset Sect has accumulated thousands of years, and it has only accumulated about a hundred.

If it weren't for the fact that the prairie was so arid that even ordinary demon beasts couldn't survive, the Sunset Sect would definitely be reluctant to take out thousands of years of accumulation - you must know that the moon wolf is a "divine beast" worshipped by the people of the grassland, and the moon wolf eye is not only a material for refining weapons, but also an important souvenir for them!

Because they cherished these Moon Wolf Eyes too much, the Sunset Sect sent an Elder Ning Yuan to Anfeng County to sit in the town, responsible for ensuring that Wu would not be disturbed in any way during the period of refining the Moon Wolf Eyes.

The Sunset Sect Elder who was a part-time chief of a large tribe stared at the bull's eye, looked Wu Xie up and down, sighed and handed him the jade box containing the moon wolf's eyes with a distressed face.

"I always feel that it is a very risky thing to hand over these treasures to a junior refining junior to purify......" he muttered, shook his head and sighed, walked out of the hall slowly, and erected a sign at the gate of Wu Jie's courtyard that said "idlers are not allowed to enter", and then sat under the sign as a bodyguard to guard the door, and sat for two months.

In the past two months, Wu Xie has carefully refined the hundred or so moon wolf eyes one by one. This material is delicate and delicate, not to mention the force is too strong, even a breath may cause the pure moon power in it to be polluted. The process of refining Wu was quite hard, no matter how cautious he was, he had to refine three pieces in succession at the beginning.

However, from the fourth onwards, he never missed again.

In fact, after the first three failures, he had completely mastered the physical properties of this material, and probably by the time of the fifth refining, he had completely sorted out the entire process. By the time of the eighth refining, he had also optimized the process, which could make the quality of refining better, and the effect of the moon wolf eye refined would be more powerful and wonderful.

After his refining, the moon wolf's eye, which was originally just an eyeball, turned into an oval bead about the size of a tail finger, and the color of this bead was yellow and slightly white, like a full moon in the night sky.

It didn't have any mana fluctuations, and at first glance it looked like it was just an ordinary glass bead. But if you use your divine sense to probe, you will find that it contains pure moon power, and that moon power forms a wonderful natural cycle that will not leak out at all.

In fact, there are many ways in which the Moon Wolf Eye can be refined, but now this method of processing is the most suitable for the task it will undertake.

These strange orbs that have been refined will become the core of the magic circle that will receive Yuehua outside the Nine Heavens. Their own power will not be consumed at all, all the magic circle needs is the induction between them and Yuehua.

In order to make this induction extremely strong, Wu Xie erased all the other spiritual effects of the Moon Wolf Eye, and only kept this one and only one. But precisely because of its singular and pure effect, this effect is brought to the extreme.

When you hold it in your hand, even in broad daylight, you can feel the power of the moon falling from the distant sky, echoing the glass-like beads in your hand. If it's night, just a little bit of True Qi can gather the power of the amazing moonlight, so that the whole person is shrouded in the pale moonlight, just like the legendary immortal from the Moon Palace!

The chief was initially disdainful of Wu Jie, but when he saw the first truly completed Moon Wolf Eye, he changed his attitude.

"Although the grassland is large, no one has ever been able to handle the moon wolf eye so skillfully! The land of Kyushu is really full of heroes, and we can't reach it!"

He sighed like this, and the whole person seemed to be much older.

Even for the most sophisticated Moon Wolf Eye, Wu Xie only used it less than twenty times to completely perfect the entire refining technique, and there was no longer any possibility of improvement or optimization, all that was left was simple repetition.

This repetition was no different from the other refining he had done during this time.

However, the boring and monotonous repetitive refining is not meaningless, it not only provides many expected precious materials for the preparation of the star-picking operation, which greatly improves the success rate of the entire operation, but also allows Wu Jie's soul to be precipitated and tempered once.

Although he has been cultivating for decades, although he has often retreated and practiced penance, his cultivation is a process of gradual accumulation, and at the same time as his cultivation, it will also be accompanied by the cultivation of new spells, the refining of magic weapons, and so on, so there will never be a sense of boredom.

But this time, what he experienced was utter boredom. This boredom fully honed his mind and made his mental state more calm.

When he first began refining materials, his body was full of the sharp energy brought by the great war, like a sharp blade out of its sheath, ready to fight any enemy at any time.

After this period of tempering and precipitation, his temperament has become deep and introverted. It doesn't look extraordinary on the outside, just like an ordinary young man, who can be seen everywhere on the street.

At this moment, if he walked into the crowd, even if he was an experienced old man, he would not be able to distinguish him from those ordinary pedestrians.

"Grind away the prosperity and return to the basics." When Elder Ruiling came to fetch a batch of medicinal materials that he had asked him to purify, he couldn't help but praise when he saw him like this, "To be able to comprehend such a realm, you have already reached the level of condensation in your mind. The next thing you need is to accumulate mana and cultivate your Gang Qi to the extreme. ”

Wu Xie smiled and bowed slightly to show politeness: "Disciples can grow, it is all the cultivation of the master. ”

"Ha Luha, don't be so polite! You're motivated, and that's your own credit. The master can help you design some targeted cultivation projects, but it can't really replace your cultivation - if you can cultivate talents like you by cultivation, there should have been hundreds or thousands of Returning Dan Patriarchs in this sect!"

Saying that, the easy-going elder smiled: "If there are really so many Huan Dan masters, we will rush out of the hula and directly drag the comet in the sky down, why bother so much!"

Wu Xie also smiled, he knew that Dao Ruiling Zhenren was joking - in the entire land of Kyushu, there were less than fifty Huandan Patriarchs on the bright side of all sects combined. Even if the family foundations of various sects are emptied, I am afraid that I will not be able to make up hundreds of Huandan Patriarchs.

Ruiling Zhenren has also turned three times, and among the twenty-four generations of disciples of Qingyang Guan, he can probably rank in the top five. And in the entire Qingyang Temple, there are a total of sixteen Huandan Patriarchs - this does not include the two who guard the Star Palace.

As far as Wu Xie knows, the Kyushu realm has the most Dan patriarchs, probably this gate. Then there is the White Lotus Hall, and there are about twelve or thirteen monks who have cultivated to the realm of Huandan; The White Emperor Pavilion followed, and there were about ten Huandan Patriarchs.

In addition to these three major sects, the rest of the sects also have the most Dan patriarchs are Wanshou Mountain, the head of the Xuanmen, there should be six or seven, and then there are five in the Kantian Sect and the Divine Sword Hall; Then it was the turn of those sects represented by the Tongtian Sect that had two Returning Dan Patriarchs, and those that had only one Returning Dan Patriarch.

Of course, most of the sects in the Kyushu realm did not return to the Dan Patriarch. For example, a few years ago, the master died inexplicably, and only a group of disciples were left, and there were only two Supreme Elders of the Ning Yuan Realm, and the rest, including the real person in charge, were just in the Refining Gang realm.

Of course...... This is already in the past tense......

In order for a monk to progress, on the one hand, he needs to work hard enough, on the other hand, he needs to have excellent exercises, and he needs a certain amount of opportunity at the end.

Chance manifests itself in various ways, the most significant of which is the Dao heart.

Even the Taixu Patriarch and Sword Abandon Disciples, who are known as the geniuses of the world, are not born with a strong and thorough Dao heart, and they also need to continue to grow in the process of cultivation. This process of growing up is often accompanied by a lot of hardships and hardships, accompanied by a lot of tribulations.

Some of these tribulations are for the body and some for the mind. Those who can't survive will either die or go down the evil path. Only by being able to endure the tribulations again and again can we refine a strong, stable, and clear Dao mind, so that we can clarify our true heart in the midst of chaotic thoughts, and finally be able to achieve the return of the Dan.

If you want to go through all kinds of hardships without falling, all kinds of help are one aspect, your own perception is one aspect, and mysterious luck is also one aspect. All of this adds up to what is called chance.

The master can provide some opportunities, but in the final analysis, the core of opportunities lies in oneself!

Therefore, throughout the ages, no one has been able to rely solely on external help to achieve Huidan. Every patriarch who has achieved Huandan, is a strong-minded and clear-minded person. Whether they are right or evil, good or evil, they all have something to admire and look up to in terms of being human beings.

Of course, Wu Xie also wanted to understand his true heart and achieve the return of Dan, so he was very grateful to the master for providing him with these trainings and regarded them as part of the opportunity.

"It's so complicated!" Jasmine said disdainfully, "When we cultivated our disciples back then, we never had so many tricks!"

"I've always been suspicious," Wu explained...... "according to you, back then, you gathered a large number of qualified young people and then carried out brutal training in a unified manner. In the process of cultivation, the vast majority of monks die, and only one golden pill can be achieved out of about 100,000 people, right?"

"yes, I think it's pretty efficient......"

"But I'm curious, according to your kind of cultivation method, can the disciples really have a strong Dao heart, and after the most Lu Lu understands the original heart, can they achieve the Dan? Not to mention that they still have to go from Huandan to the ninth turn step by step, and finally achieve Jindan...... It's incredible!"

"This ...... I don't really know exactly how low-level disciples are cultivated......" Jasmine smiled a little embarrassedly, "But according to my impression, the cultivators of our era don't seem to think about the issue of understanding their hearts. ”

"Huh?" This time it was Du Xin who asked the question, and her tone was very rare to rise, showing her inner surprise, "I don't know my heart, how can I achieve Huandan?" How can you return the Dan Nine Turns until the Jindan Dacheng?"

"What were we then...... Basically, it is to keep accumulating, constantly consuming resources, and then growing little by little. From refining qi to building the foundation, from building the foundation to the golden pill, from the golden pill to the yin god, the law phase, the heavenly man, and the dao fruit...... Anyway, it's accumulation. Jasmine was a little vague, and it seemed that she didn't know much about the specific situation.

"Just accumulate?"

"yes, just accumulate."

"That'...... What do you do when you hit a bottleneck?" Du Xin asked, "When the Ning Yuan realm reaches its peak, the worldly law has reached the end, and only by knowing the original heart can we find the most suitable path for ourselves, and thus derive the 'law beyond this world' to open the door to the heavens for ourselves." If you can't know your heart...... How do we break through this bottleneck?"

"Take the medicine!" Jasmine smiled, "From mortals to Qi refining, there is a Yuan Qi Pill; From refining gas to building the foundation, there is the building of the foundation; From the foundation to the golden pill, there is a knot golden pill...... Anyway, when you reach the bottleneck, take medicine, and if one medicine is not enough, take two or three...... As long as you eat enough, you can always break through!"

"Is this the way of the Waidan?" As a professional, Du Xin showed a little contemplation, "But...... Even if it is the way of the Waidan, all that the Waidan can provide is the Tao and mana, and the cultivation of the soul also depends on itself......

"Times are different. At that time, we didn't have humanity, and we didn't have any Dao ancestors!" Jasmine said nonchalantly, "Every era is different, in the primeval era, the monks of the human race all regarded themselves as monsters in their cultivation, and after cultivating to the extreme, they would turn into a powerful existence like a great demon of the desolation, and their name was Ancestral God." But in our time, there are very few monks who continue the path of the ancestral gods...... If there is an ancient ancestor god who lives to our time, when he communicates and discusses with the monks of our time, they will probably wonder each other. ”

Du Xin was still pondering, but Wu Xie couldn't help but nod slightly.

Although Jasmine is usually very unreliable, after all, she has cultivated with the Supreme God Monarch, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, her vision is indeed very high.

While he and Du Xin were still thinking about the difference between the exercises of the two eras, and why there would be almost a difference between them, Jasmine had naturally skipped the difference.

In her opinion, this is the gap between the times, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just that each era has its own cultivation method.

In Jasmine's time, the path of the ancestral gods has been basically cut off; And in this era, Jasmine's path at that time is no longer cared for.

This is the change of times. When you look at it from the height of hundreds of millions of years, let alone a mere monk, even if the entire cultivation world is just a picture scroll that is constantly flipping!

What are the monks cultivating for? Isn't it just to let yourself transcend time and life and death from the river of years, from the vast number of beings in the picture scroll to the leisurely spectator outside the picture scroll!

Thinking of this, his heart shook slightly, only to feel as if a door had been pushed open, and his thoughts suddenly became much clearer.

Although this wonderful state of clarity only existed for a short period of time, it was this short period of time that gave him a deeper understanding of the Fa-rectification of the Spirit Heaven Fire Department that he had cultivated. This set of exercises is incomplete! The entire content of the Lingxiao Fire Division's Fa-rectification is about how to improve one's cultivation, how to fight the enemy, how to sharpen oneself through battle, and then further improve - it is like a battle encyclopedia, and the whole article is related to battle.

As for the question of how to sharpen the Dao mind, it is almost completely not mentioned in the Fire Ministry Fa-rectification. Probably for those Heavenly Realm Fighting Gods, those who can go through countless battles without being confused will naturally have a solid and thorough Dao Heart, and there is no need for additional targeted cultivation at all.

This is completely different from the Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra of Qingyang View, which is closely connected with the Taishang Innocence Theory, on the one hand, with fate as the furnace and chance as the furnace, the self is the elixir and repeatedly refined; On the other hand, through the continuous analysis of the mind and the constant elimination of distracting thoughts, the Dao mind continues to improve.

The two complement each other, and it is the complete Taishang Nine Turns Dan Sutra.

Wu Xie didn't know which of the two paths was better, but he could say with great confidence that compared to the continuous analysis and introspection path of the Taishang Nine Turning Dan Sutra, he did like the battle path of the Lingxiao Fire Sect more.

A true strong man grows up in battle after all!
