Chapter Twenty-Six: The Trick of Making Flames
Sun Yi'an pinched the trick with both hands, closed his eyes and sat in a cave deep in Dongling Peak.
This karst cave is about 20 zhang square, about seven or eight zhang high, the four walls and the top are smooth like glass, and the top is inlaid with a night pearl the size of a skull, exuding a soft white light.
On the ground of the cave, there are countless spirit stones inlaid according to a certain law, which complement each other with the moonstone at the top of the cave.
In the middle of the cave, there is an oval-shaped Dan furnace covered with a layer of blue light.
This Dan furnace is more than one person high, as if it is made of bronze, and there are some strange runes carved on it, and the bottom of the Dan furnace is slightly higher, and there are five fist-sized holes around the four walls of the Dan furnace.
On the ground corresponding to the five holes, five blue-purple flames with the thickness of small arms emerged from the ground and were slowly sucked into the five holes on the four walls of the Dan furnace.
On that day, after Sun Yi'an followed Geng Pojun and Elder Lu to Dongling Peak, he was taken to this cave known as the Earth Flame Cave.
According to that Elder Lu, this cave was burned out by the fire of the earth lungs, and the so-called earth lung fire was the five blue-purple flames on the ground in front of him.
After Geng Pojun and the others brought him here, they did not immediately start alchemy, but left him a jade slip and let him understand the fire control technique recorded in it called "Flame Jue".
According to what Elder Lu said, this method will definitely take one month to comprehend and master. It's just that only three days have passed now, and Sun Yi'an has already begun to try to control the flames.
This method called "Flame Making Technique" is quite peculiar, very different from the other exercises on flame manipulation that Sun Yi'an has seen from the Tianque Pavilion.
Once a monk has cultivated to the foundation building stage, true fire will be generated in his body, and the power of true fire will increase as the monk's cultivation progresses. Most monks will use the true fire in their bodies for alchemy or refining.
Regarding the control of flames other than the true fire in the body, there are generally two methods, one is that the cultivator who cultivates the fire attribute exercises, uses his own spiritual power attribute to indirectly manipulate the fire spiritual power floating between heaven and earth for alchemy, refining weapons and attacking the enemy.
The other is that the monk uses his spiritual power to envelop and control the external flames to achieve the same purpose as the first. The difference between the two is that cultivators who cultivate fire attribute exercises themselves are easier to control and consume less spiritual power, but vice versa.
However, this decision, called "The Secret of Making Flames", requires the monk to release his spiritual power and divine consciousness from his body at the same time, and use the power of his divine consciousness to guide and manipulate the flames, so that the control of the flames can be more delicate and flexible. However, the monk's control of the power of the divine consciousness must be meticulous.
For monks, the divine consciousness normally increases with the improvement of cultivation. There may be a big gap in the spiritual power in the body of a monk of the same level, but the power of divine consciousness is not much different.
Although there are some people in the cultivation world who have swallowed certain heavenly and earthly treasures by chance and the power of their divine consciousness has increased dramatically, or who have improved their divine consciousness due to the cultivation of a certain exercise, this kind of great opportunity and anti-heaven exercise method is not something that ordinary people can get.
The power of divine consciousness is even more important to the monk than the spiritual power in the body. The power of the divine consciousness can not only help the monk control the magic weapon to fight with people, but also release the divine consciousness from the body, without the need for eyes and ears, he can easily present everything within the scope of the divine consciousness in his mind, and through the divine consciousness, he can also communicate with people.
Of course, the divine consciousness also has an Achilles' heel, if the monk fights with others and only the vitality is damaged and the spiritual power is exhausted, he can recover quickly by meditating or swallowing the elixir, but if the divine consciousness is damaged, it is difficult to recover in a short time, and even die as a result.
Therefore, although the power of divine consciousness also has a certain ability to attack, unless it is a last resort or the difference in cultivation is huge, few monks directly use the power of divine consciousness to kill the enemy.
Sun Yi'an followed the guidance of the legal decision, released the divine consciousness and spiritual power out of the body at the same time, carefully wrapped the five flames with spiritual power, and at the same time wound the power of the divine consciousness divided into five strands, and used the power of divine consciousness to control the strength of the flames, and slowly became familiar with this newly obtained legal decision.
As for the fact that he was able to master this method so quickly, Sun Yi had a faint guess in his heart, which may be related to the divine consciousness that he devoured the Guangfa Immortal Monarch.
In fact, a long time ago, he had discovered the abnormality of his divine consciousness, because according to a certain classic book in the Tianque Pavilion, the strength of his divine consciousness in the late stage of normal qi refining could probably support the monk to release the power of divine consciousness out of his body for about a hundred zhang.
He, on the other hand, can release his divine consciousness from his body nearly a mile away. Judging from this distance, his current divine consciousness strength is at least at the level of the early stage of foundation building.
More than ten days have passed, Sun Yi'an has completely controlled this newly acquired exercise, and now he only needs one thought, and the five flames on the ground will increase or weaken accordingly.
He stopped the magic decision in his hand, crossed his knees and ran the Five Elements Returning to the Yuan Gong, silently recovering nearly half of the spiritual power that had disappeared in his body.
Suddenly, Sun Yi'an stood up without warning and looked at a narrow passage on the side of the cave that was only one person tall and only allowed one person to pass through.
Ohqing, a thin old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a white robe walked into the cave as if his feet did not touch the ground, it was the Elder Lu of Dongling Peak.
"Disciple meets Elder Lu!"
Before Sun Yi'an could completely walk out of the passage, he bowed and saluted.
"Hehe, Master Sun doesn't need to be polite! Have you understood that "Flame Trick"? ”
Elder Lu asked kindly.
"The disciple has already grasped it roughly."
Sun Yi'an replied.
"Oh? Let's show the old man. ”
Elder Lu commanded with a little surprise.
"Yes!"
Sun Yi'an replied respectfully, sat down cross-legged and played a series of magic decisions with both hands, and at the same time released the power of divine consciousness and began to manipulate the flames on the ground into the Dan furnace.
Seeing Sun Yi'an skillfully manipulating the flames, the smile on Elder Lu's face became stronger and stronger, and after a while, he said:
"Hehe~ Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect that Master Sun's nephew really had some talent in the control of the power of divine consciousness, although it had not yet reached the point of doing what he wanted, but it was already very good, so the old man was relieved! ”
After Elder Lu left with a smile on his face, Sun Yi'an was left alone in the cave and pondered silently.
Although I don't know what anti-heaven pill the other party wants to refine, it is definitely not easy to make a peak cultivator in the early stage of the Dan and a peak cultivator in the late stage of the Yu Dan who is second only to the Yuan Infant Stage pay so much attention to it.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and on this day, Geng Pojun and Elder Lu came to the cave again, and at the same time brought nearly a hundred kinds of strange herbs.
The two once again asked Sun Yi'an to demonstrate the art of fire control on the spot, seeing that he was very skillful in control, they nodded frequently, and were very satisfied with him, even Geng Pojun, who had never given him a good face, squeezed out a smile and praised him a few words.
But Sun Yi'an was not happy at all. Because then, his hard life really began. Under the guidance of that Elder Lu, he put the elixirs into the Dan furnace as required and began to refine them.
The refining process alone took two months.
Two months later, Elder Lu had checked all the refined elixirs. Hit a few spells towards the ground of the cave, and in an instant, the countless spirit stones embedded in the entire ground began to flash with their various colors. Then there was a "hum", and a formation covering the entire large array began to operate slowly, and then I saw wisps of five-element spiritual power emanating from those spirit stones, slowly surging towards the Dan furnace.
Of course, Sun Yi'an, who was beside the Dan furnace, could easily absorb a lot of spiritual power, but at this time, he had no time to use the Five Elements Returning Yuan Gong in his body to refine.
Because he's controlling the five flames with all his might. According to Elder Lu's explanation, only after the pill in the Dan furnace began to take shape, could he cultivate while controlling the fire.
After another two months passed, the refining essence of the various elixirs in the Dan furnace finally slowly fused together.
At this time, Elder Lu handed Sun Yi'an a jade slip and asked him to strictly follow the steps recorded by the jade slip to increase or weaken the firepower according to the refining situation of the pill in the furnace.
Subsequently, after leaving a magic plate that allowed him to contact the other party in a special situation, he launched a formation to completely seal the passage into the cave, and then left in a fluttering manner.
According to Elder Lu's explanation before leaving, he would definitely not be able to leave this cave until the pill was completely refined.
Although he can now "Bigu", he only needs to absorb spiritual power to supplement his body's needs, and he doesn't have to eat ordinary meals anymore. But this elixir is not yet known to be successfully refined in the Year of the Monkey!
Not to mention being imprisoned, he had to work for others, which made Sun Yi'an very depressed.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he really didn't dare to slack off in refining the elixir, with the importance that these two of them attached to this furnace of elixir, if it was really because of him that the elixir refining failed, whether he could get out of this cave alive or not was two words.
But fortunately, although he was "imprisoned", the aura here was indeed extremely rich, and it had almost turned into a mist.
"Hey~ If you come, you will be safe!"
Sun Yi'an sighed in his heart, closed his eyes and controlled the five flames of alchemy while running the Five Elements Guiyuan Gong and began to cultivate.
