Chapter 179: Homecoming
"Although it looks like you're struggling, it's a success." Feng Tianjiao took the Sumeru ring handed over by Zhu Yi, nodded slowly, and then showed a smile and said.
After all, Zhu Yi was making it for the first time, and it could be said that he was careful and careful in the entire refining process, and he consumed a lot of soul power, if he hadn't listened to Feng Tianjiao's advice and chose something that was currently challenging for him to refining, I am afraid that this refining weapon would have really failed. Because when Zhu Yi refined to the bottom, the amount of soul power was almost squandered, and even the spiritual energy in his body was consumed by more than half.
"Refining weapons is really not a human job. Zhu Yi wiped a handful of sweat and said to Feng Tianjiao with a wry smile.
"A good refiner must not only have a strong aura to squander in the process of refining, but also have the ability to control his own soul power in a nuanced way. It was right to be cautious, but being too cautious was of no use other than the amount of aura and soul power in Lang Fei's body. Feng Tianjiao was playing with the Sumeru ring made by Zhu Yi, and at the same time pointed out the problems that Zhu Yi had in the first refining process.
"Look at me refining it once!" Feng Tianjiao put the Sumeru ring refined by Zhu Yi on the table, and then cut a small piece of the star iron with flames and began to refine it.
Feng Tianjiao's flame was a golden-red flame, and her movements were much smoother than Zhu Yi's. From the production of molds to the engraving and engraving, it gives people a feeling of flowing water. Soon, a Sumeru ring appeared in Feng Tianjiao's palm, almost exactly the same as Zhu Yi's.
"Understood. Zhu Yi nodded, and after watching Feng Tianjiao's refining process, Zhu Yi understood where the gap between himself and Feng Tianjiao was.
As Feng Tianjiao said before, he maintained a kind of caution in the process of refining, but this caution was a bit excessive. Feng Tianjiao's smooth refining process just now was certainly because she already had enough experience, so that she had enough confidence to ensure that her refining process would not make mistakes before refining. But on the other hand, Feng Tianjiao really achieved the four words of courage and carefulness, and she did not slow down her engraving process because of caution, so the entire engraving process consumed less than one-tenth of Zhu Yi's consumption of aura and soul power.
"It's good to understand, there's enough material here anyway, so let's play by myself if you don't have anything to do. The so-called master leads the door, and the cultivation is in everyone. The same is true for this refining, I have already taught you the basic methods, and the rest is all up to you to figure it out yourself. ”
Feng Tianjiao's way of teaching people is always so simple, brutal and efficient. Ordinary teachers bring apprentices to the door by hand when teaching them, but Feng Tianjiao did the opposite, letting Zhu Yi try first, and then tell the other party what went wrong. In this way, Zhu Yi's understanding of his own problems is more profound, and it also avoids the biggest problem that apprentices are always imitators of teachers.
Although the disciples of some major sects and sects are also extremely strong, they lack the creativity of these scattered cultivators, and they have made certain achievements in the ** of the sect, but it is even more difficult to create their own way.
This is that they are imitating from the beginning, and there is enough experience in the sect for you to learn and let you avoid detours, but it also stifles their creativity, you must know that many creations in the Dao are obtained through continuous attempts.
After entering the Heavenly Dao Academy, Zhu Yi was cultivating on his own most of the time, and Feng Tianjiao played more of a guiding role. If there is something Zhu Yi doesn't understand, she will answer it very carefully, of course, in her own unique way, just like just now.
More often than not, Feng Tianjiao is laissez-faire to Zhu Yi, so strictly speaking, compared to other students in the academy, Zhu Yi is more like a casual cultivator.
For the next month, Zhu Yi completely locked himself in the Tianjiao Courtyard, constantly trying to refine some gadgets, such as a one-time consumption of spiritual weapons, or spiritual weapons that could increase the power of the Five Elements martial arts. The engravings on these artifacts are relatively simple, but their power is limited.
Truly powerful spiritual weapons need to rely on different engravings to combine, and then exert their power through materials. Of course, the current Zhu Yi is still in the introductory stage of refining weapons, and he still needs to go through continuous practice before he can make those complex spirit weapons. If one day Zhu Yi can create his own mark, he can be called a master.
"Zhu Yi, are you going home?"
During this time, Zhu Yi continued to refine spiritual weapons, and he had some new experience in the use of Xuanzhi Zhenyan, and he could even use it in alchemy. Therefore, Zhu Yi temporarily put down continuing to refine the weapon, and planned to go out to find some medicinal materials to try to refine medicine with some special techniques in the "Danding Spectrum".
Moreover, Zhu Yi's refining weapon had already encountered a bottleneck, and he could already complete the simple engraving alone, but some complex engravings or engravings that needed to be combined were difficult to complete with his current soul power. The amount of soul power will also increase with the growth of cultivation, but this process is extremely slow, unless Zhu Yi can obtain a ** that specializes in cultivating soul power, or take an elixir that can stimulate the enhancement of soul power, it is difficult to obtain a large increase.
This time, Zhu Yi wanted to borrow the newly comprehended fire control method and cooperate with the special techniques in the "Danding Spectrum" to refine the "Soul Shaping Pill" - an elixir that can stimulate the increase of soul power.
However, when Zhu Yi had just come to the pharmacy opened by Fang City Middle School, he met Feng Wan, and after greeting him, the other party actually asked him if he wanted to go home.
"Go home?" Zhu Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this question, for him, the concept of home became very distant. He suddenly thought of Jinling City, which was far away in another plane, and thought of the Yanwang Mansion in the city, and a trace of indifference suddenly appeared on his face. There, all he was left with were painful memories and no joy.
Feng Wan didn't notice the expression on Zhu Yi's face at this time, and said with a happy expression: "Yes, don't you know the Dao? Freshmen in the Heavenly Dao Academy may have a chance to go home after a year. This is because on the way to cultivation, cultivators will constantly appear inner demons, and the biggest inner demons often arise before formal cultivation. To put it bluntly, this opportunity to go home is to give the students a chance to go back and get married, so as to avoid unending demons on the way of cultivation in the future. ”
Zhu Yi came to his senses when he heard Feng Wan's explanation. In the early stage of cultivation, it is difficult for a cultivator to encounter the inner demon, but when he enters the realm of the Cailing Messenger, when he breaks through in his cultivation, there is a possibility that the inner demon will appear. The inner demon is an ethereal thing, but it is absolutely deadly for cultivators, if they can't break their inner demons, the light ones will fall into the demonic path and lose their rationality, and the heavy ones will go crazy and be devoured by the inner demons and die. These have already appeared too much in the cultivator's worldly realm.
Especially from the beginning of the breakthrough of the Martial Saint, the heart demon will be more likely to invade the cultivator, because the heart demon itself is a concrete manifestation of the dark side of the cultivator's own heart, and it will increase as the strength of the cultivator increases, so the more advanced the cultivator, once the heart demon appears, the more difficult it will be to deal with it.
The Heavenly Dao Academy allowed the new students to return home, nominally homecoming, but in fact, it was for the cultivators to go back and cut off their own dust, strangling the demons that might appear in the future in the cradle. You must know that people will have some heart knots more or less since childhood, and only by untying these heart knots will they not lead to the appearance of inner demons.
This is also the reason why cultivators who follow the righteous path do not dare to kill innocents indiscriminately, because they still have a conscience, and if they kill innocents indiscriminately, once they are unable to look directly at their conscience in the process of cultivation in the future, they may have demons in their hearts.
Zhu Yi naturally also has a heart knot, and his heart knot is the place that is called "home" by ordinary people. Since the death of his mother, Zhu Yi has never felt the warmth of home. On the contrary, he was full of hatred for some people there, if he didn't vent all this and let the hatred lurk and breed, it was very likely that one day in the future, he would turn into a demon in his heart and bring huge trouble to Zhu Yi's cultivation path.
"In that case, let's go home and see if Xiao Lin has solved that Mrs. Yang!" Zhu Yi thought of this, his face also showed an awe-inspiring color, Xiao Lin even gave up the martial arts exam, and went to find trouble with Mrs. Yang according to the clues given by Zhu Yi, but Zhu Yi didn't know whether the other party succeeded or not. This time I went back to see if Xiao Lin had already solved the other party, his dust relationship would be over, and if not, he would just come to cut off this dust relationship himself.
Since he planned to go back, Zhu Yi naturally wouldn't forget Xiaowei, and after saying goodbye to Feng Wan, Zhu Yi went to find Feng Tianjiao. After Xiaowei went to Yanghaifeng from Zhu Yi, Feng Tianjiao sent Xiaowei out of the city, saying that he had found a good teacher for Xiaowei, and Zhu Yi never saw her again.
"Xiao Wei should be at a critical juncture in her cultivation now, and the next time she comes out, she will be able to become a helper for you. Now she may not be able to go back with you, but for Xiaowei, you are her inner demon, as long as you can cut off the dust, everything in the past has nothing to do with Xiaowei, she is your maidservant, she hates because you hate the palace. ”
After Feng Tianjiao heard Zhu Yi's plan to take Xiaowei home with him, he shook his head and refused Zhu Yi's request.
"Teacher, can you tell me what kind of cultivation Xiaowei is doing now?" Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and asked again towards Feng Tianjiao. When he mentioned Xiao Wei, he felt a little guilty, he brought Xiao Wei here, but he never cared about the other party, and Xiao Wei can be said to be affectionate to himself, although he believes in Feng Tianjiao, but he also wants to know Xiao Wei's current situation.
