Yan Xuan locked himself in his residence and did not leave an inch of work.

The fastest way to consume spiritual power in fire control is to release spiritual power with your hands, forming a flame that burns non-stop. The day's scene in Yan Xuan's yard is full of fire.

She tried how long her body's spiritual power could last at most, and then tried to use the "Southern Fire Technique" and the Fire Control Technique together to see if it lasted longer.

The first problem encountered was that "Southern Fire Technique" was always stumbling and not smooth when used with fire control techniques. Either "Southern Fire Technique" has stopped, or the fire control technique has stopped. It took a day of practice to barely be able to use the two spells together.

This is not surprising, if Yan Xuan can have the ability to memorize three books at the same time with Qian Chao, then she can also control the methods of using these two spells at the same time, but there are too few freaks like Qian Chao, at least Yan Xuan is not.

Alchemy is somewhat similar to refining, that is, it must be carried out with the help of the firepower in the fire eye.

The spirit grass is set in the middle of the Dan furnace, and it cannot fall to the bottom of the Dan furnace, and if it falls, the spirit grass will be destroyed. The spirit grass is burned and melted into a juice form by high temperature, Qixia Mountain calls it Dan liquid, and the different Dan liquid from several spirit grasses must be fused with each other in a certain order at different times, and finally it can become Dan.

Yan Xuan's previous alchemy failed because the Dan liquid did not grasp the heat well when it fused, after all, she couldn't see through the thick Dan furnace wall, and she didn't know what the heat of the Dan liquid was when the Dan liquid fused, completely according to what was said in the book and what Senior Sister Min said, according to the time when the Dan furnace was roasted above the fire eye, the probability of error was naturally great, if she could practice the imperial technique like a money tide, and know the situation in the Dan furnace clearly, then the alchemy would naturally be much easier.

There are also several important periods, and the heat of different spirit grasses in the Dan furnace is different, some are higher, some are lower, and at this time, they must be adjusted by fire control techniques. The use of this fire control technique is that in the same high-temperature Dan furnace, you can isolate or strengthen a part of the heat to different spirit grasses, so that different spirit grasses can generate Dan liquid at different high temperatures, if the Dan furnace is the same high temperature, there will be some spirit grasses that have been overburned and other spirit grasses may not be on fire, so it is just a waste of spirit grass.

Yan Xuan's use of the fire control technique and the Imperial Technique together was also stumbling smoothly, but she felt that this was definitely feasible, but she still owed the fire.

After a day's work, Yan Xuan felt a little tired, so she stopped to rest, and she would continue tomorrow, she thought, no, there is still time tonight, even if she sleeps less every day, she must understand this method in the past few days.

Generally speaking, whether a person can practice depends on his qualifications, and this qualification is an iron threshold, and if he can't cross it, he can't practice.

However, after stepping into the cultivation world, how far a monk can go on the path of cultivation and how much he can achieve in the future is not determined by a single qualification.

There are four factors that play a decisive role: one is qualification, the second is the heart, the third is talent, and the fourth is chance.

Not to mention the qualifications, it is the advantages and disadvantages of the spiritual root.

The better the heart, the more tenacious and unshakable the character.

Talent can be broadly understood as how intelligent a person is.

As for chance, the two words are opportunity and fate.

According to this standard, looking at Qian Chao, Tang Ping, Yan Xuan and others, the gap between them is still not small.

Yan Xuan has good qualifications, his heart is secondary, and his talent is secondary.

Qian Chao is the most talented, followed by the heart, and the second most qualified.

It is said that this talent is a person's intelligence, such as Qian Chao, if he does not have this talent, he is afraid that he is also an ascetic who cultivates to a mediocre level. Fortunately, he was so smart that he was able to find his own way of cultivation.

And Yan Xuan wants to learn Qian Chao, but he can't learn it completely, for example, Qian Chao can now use three spells at the same time, and Yan Xuan has practiced for a long time since he got Qian Chao's method, even after breaking through the second layer of qi refining, he can only use two spells together, this is the difference in talent. But fortunately, Yan Xuan's qualifications are good, coupled with Qian Chao's method, he has made impressive achievements in alchemy in the future.

Among the other three of the five, Lu Pingchuan has the best qualifications, and his temperament is not bad, so there is no need to mention the talent, it is a mess.

Li Jian has the best temperament, and his qualifications and talents are about the same, so they are all good.

Tang Ping's situation is quite special, her qualifications are rare companion spirit roots, which she only learned after entering the inner door to worship the teacher. If she can do it step by step according to what Gu Hou Fairy told her, her qualifications are no worse than Lu Pingchuan, so Tang Ping's qualifications are very good now, but they are ranked behind the talent, Tang Ping is a very smart girl, and the talent is good and Qian Chao is between the best, it is just the relationship between the cultivation method, and she can't use Qian Chao's method. In the end, it is her heart, Tang Ping is playful, so her heart is last.

Only chance is really illusory and difficult to fathom. In fact, the fate of the five people is not bad, after all, they experienced the encounter of Little Lotus Lake when they were in Youming Valley together, if the fate is not good, where can there be these five little guys in the inner gate of the Five Spirit Sect.

Qian Chao found a new way to play in the Chengqi Hall.

The fire eyes used to smelt ore or refining tools in the Chengqi Hall are basically very regular, but there are a few places that are more special, I don't know whether the two fire eyes are deliberately done when they are excavated, or they are caused by careless excavation, in short, the two fire eyes are very close to each other, almost next to each other.

Basically, if a person sits on a refining weapon in those places, the fire eye next to it will no longer be used, and it will inevitably affect each other when they are close.

And after Qian Chao found out, he thought it was a good place.

There are dozens of ores in his storage bag that have been exchanged for spirit swords, and there are not a few of them, so many ores are too much to smelt and it is troublesome, if the two fire eyes are used together, will the speed of smelting ore be much faster?

Qian Chao tried it and found that it was okay, the two fire eyes were close, and the Imperial Technique could take care of it, but the double firepower was smelting two pieces of ore at the same time. At first, he was cautious, but gradually after smelting a few green copper ingots, Qian Chao was already proficient.

"Senior Brother Qian, what are you doing?" A senior brother who was passing by looked curious, so he leaned over and asked.

"Well, there's a lot of ore, so it can be smelted faster." Qian Chao said.

"Hehe, not bad, I'll give it a try when I get back." With that, the senior brother walked away.

Qian Chao found that since he could refine the spirit sword, there were far fewer people who asked him to help smelt the ore. In fact, this is also normal, although Qian Chao is still a junior disciple in Chengqitang, but when the Chengqitang brand is put on, he is no longer a junior apprentice of refining weapons. In the eyes of those senior brothers and sisters, Senior Brother Qian was already able to skillfully refine the spirit sword of the four runes, which was already much stronger than many people who dangled around the Chengqi Hall all day long, how could they be embarrassed to ask him to do such a trivial matter?

Fortunately, Qian Chao saved a lot of ore by himself, which was enough for him to refine for a while.

You can refine two parts of ore at the same time, so can you refine two spirit swords at the same time? Qian Chao thought that it was estimated that it would not be easy to do, as soon as the Blue Eye Technique was opened, the "Yuan Chu Technique" would stop, and at that time, with the addition of engraved runes, the speed of spiritual power consumption should be unbearable. Without the supplement of "Yuan Chu Shu", his own inherent spiritual power is still not enough, alas, cultivation! If his spiritual root can be a little better, I'm afraid that it will ...... Alas, think about what to do with those useless ones!

But it always seems like a way to increase my cultivation even a little more, and I can engrave the fifth rune on the spirit sword!

Later, Qian Chao really tried it, but instead of refining two spirit swords at the same time, he continued to smelt ore on top of another nearby fire eye while refining the spirit sword. For the first time, because of his caution, although he was frightened, he actually let him do it.

Later, he tried a few more times and succeeded, and his courage gradually grew, and he really tried to refine two spirit swords at the same time, and when the blue eye technique was opened and the runes were engraved, the spiritual power consumption was too large, and secondly, he couldn't help but be in a hurry when he did it for the first time, and as a result, he watched the two refined sword embryos fall into the two fire eyes respectively.

Qian Chao stared at the two scarlet fiery eyes for a while, and then secretly cursed himself in his heart that he was really full. It's not that he feels sorry for the little material, but when the two sword embryos fell into the eye of fire just now, he found that he seemed to be very anxious about this breakthrough, first, he was eager to break through, and second, he was inexperienced and didn't know how to prepare at this time.

Looking at it, Chengqi Hall is full of people, all of them are senior brothers and sisters, and their popularity is not bad, isn't it good to find someone to ask?

"Senior Brother Cheng"

"Senior Brother Qian, sit down."

Senior Brother Cheng looked up and saw Qian Chao, so he beckoned him to sit down and talk.

"Senior Brother Cheng, I have something I want to ask you about."

"Well," Cheng Qiantang nodded, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

Speaking of which, Qian Chao has always admired this Senior Brother Cheng's unhurried and light-hearted appearance.

"Senior Brother Cheng, well, I always have a feeling now, as if I feel that I am shackled all over my body, but I don't know what the problem is, and sometimes I am inexplicably very irritable and unable to meditate, does Senior Brother have this situation when he is practicing?"

Cheng Qiantang didn't speak immediately after listening, but stared at Qian Chao a few times, and finally smiled slowly.

"I didn't expect it, Senior Brother Qian has only been in the inner door for a few months, and he is about to break through the cultivation, congratulations!"

"Is it really going to break through?" Qian Chao asked anxiously.

"Well, according to what you said, it shouldn't be wrong, what you said just now reminded me of the time when I first broke through my cultivation, and it felt similar to what you said, that is, I felt as if I was tied up by someone, and I couldn't break free, and when I finally broke free, my cultivation went even further."

"That'...... How long did it take Senior Brother Cheng to break through his cultivation? ”

"I can't remember this clearly, how many years ago, but it doesn't seem to take long to make the final breakthrough with that feeling, more than ten days or more than twenty days, alas, that's what it looks like."

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Cheng looked at Qian Chao again and smiled, and continued:

"Isn't Senior Brother Qian a little anxious?"

"Don't hide it from Senior Brother Cheng, there are indeed some, and I myself suspect that I am about to break through, but I am afraid that something has gone wrong in my cultivation. It's been more than ten days, and I'm worried at first, but apart from this feeling, I usually do nothing to do anything. I couldn't figure it out, so I came to ask the teacher. ”

"It's been more than ten days, and it's going to be soon. Senior Brother Qian, I think you are a little anxious, no wonder, don't say the first time, I was still anxious when I broke through the cultivation for the second time, but after the final breakthrough, I laughed at myself for being a mediocre person, at this time it is useless for you to be anxious, although it is an important thing for you, but you are anxious and there is no half help, it is better to still do what you have to do, and when you break through, you will have a very wonderful feeling, don't forget to taste it carefully. ”

"Well, it's like just after summer, you can't jump to winter all at once, and the leaves on the trees can't fall overnight after autumn, there must be a process, don't worry, Senior Brother Qian, this is also not in a hurry."

Qian Chao nodded, Senior Brother Cheng's words made him feel a lot more at ease.

Back in Chengqi Hall, there was nothing to do, and Qian Chao thought about what he would do on weekdays.

casually found a fire eye, and Qian Chao still continued to refine the spirit sword.

However, after doing these things at this time, the mood and mentality are naturally much calmer and calmer than at the beginning, and after using the blue eye technique to look at the neatly engraved runes on the sword embryo one by one to confirm that they are correct, Qian Chao quenched the sword embryo in the potion.

In fact, at this time, it is really hard to say that Qian Chao really let go of his mentality and did these things very naturally. On the contrary, it is more like Qian Chao suppressing the impulse in his heart, forcing himself to do things patiently, and quietly waiting for something to happen while doing it.

After refining a few spirit swords, Qian Chao of the four spirit swords didn't look at it now, and got up with it on his body and walked towards the inner hall.

He did the same on weekdays, refining his sword and then going to the inner hall to change materials.

Today, the inner hall is still on duty with that Senior Brother Fang, in fact, there are several senior brothers who have built the foundation in the inner hall taking turns to sit here, which is also a dispatch in the Nine Xuanmen after they build the foundation.

Senior Brother Fang was also very familiar with Qian Chao, and when he saw Qian Chao coming in, he smiled lightly and said, "I know that Senior Brother Qian is still so diligent." ”

Qian Chao smiled, said hello and finished saluting, and handed over his newly refined spirit sword to Senior Brother Fang.

After inspecting it, Senior Brother Fang asked, "Do you still change the materials?" ”

Qian Chao nodded, and Senior Brother Fang counted the ore for Qian Chao.

Qian Chao hesitated slightly, then took out a wooden box from his storage bag and put it on Senior Brother Fang's table, and said: "Senior Brother Fang, yesterday I went to the Crane Tower with a few friends, and saw some senior brothers selling the jewelry they got from outside, the jewelry is made of gold and silver, not a spiritual weapon, but it gave me some inspiration, I tried to make one myself, and brought it over to ask Senior Brother Fang for advice." ”

"Oh?" The senior brother Fang was so curious that he opened the wooden box and saw that there was a hairpin inside, the long needle-like hairpin was straight, and the hairpin head was made into a flowery style, which was also chic.

Senior Brother Fang took the hairpin in his hand, tried it with the Imperial Technique, looked at Qian Chao with some surprise and asked, "Four Fus?" ”

"Yes, I used two bird charms, a wolf rune and a spirit turtle rune."

"Well," Senior Brother Fang nodded, and then put the hairpin back into the wooden box, "Senior Brother Qian, someone has done this before, I can guess how you use this hairpin, but I want to tell you, fighting with people in danger is not such a simple thing, your every move is under the watchful eye of others, so to speak, you can't beat the opponent with the spirit sword, this hairpin is also difficult to use, understand?" ”

Qian Chao listened and nodded.

"But with your cultivation experience, it's good to think about more things, it's just that you're thinking a little biased. You see"

Saying that, Senior Brother Fang's right hand clenched into a fist and stretched it out to show Qian Chao.

Qian Chao saw that Senior Brother Fang was wearing this ring on his ring finger, and there was no jewelry on the front of the ring, but a small square frame like a small seal, and some strange words were engraved in it.

"This ring is a magic weapon, and its role is not to help me defeat my opponent, but if the opponent uses some specific spells, I can use this ring to defend it, don't underestimate this defense, maybe I can turn the situation around or get out of danger." You use the art of alchemy to refine things like jewelry, first, it's too early, and second, it's not as good as defense for jewelry, but that requires higher-level alchemy and rune learning, so I'm just saying it's too early, do you understand? ”

After listening to this, Qian Chao understood, saluted to Senior Brother Fang, and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Fang for teaching me." ”

"There's nothing to thank you for. I might as well tell you more about this alchemy technique. When you first learn the art of refining, you are generally classified according to the material of the refiner, and this classification is correct, but you will know later that the alchemy is more classified by its instrument. This division generally classifies the refined weapons into three types: sword, armor and miscellaneous weapons.

Sword, it's easy to understand, but it's not just the spirit sword, many spirit weapons that can attack the opponent fall into this category. A is a variety of protective spiritual weapons, worn on the body, held in the hand, mainly to prevent the opponent's attack. The last miscellaneous instrument is really all-encompassing, there is everything, and the ornaments worn on this body are naturally miscellaneous weapons. Well...... It can be said that the refining of swords and armor can show the basic skills of a refiner, and the refining of miscellaneous weapons can really see the ability of this refiner.

I'll get to that later.

Your hairpin can't be said to be useless, but it can be used when cultivating to a low level, if I think you don't have to spend more time on it, now you are still laying the foundation, the foundation is solid, what can't be refined in the future? ”

This senior brother Fang also has good intentions, according to what he said, the cultivation of refining weapons can be compared to a tree, the trunk of this tree is the refining of swords and armor, and the refining of miscellaneous weapons is the crown of the tree. But every mature tree has a thick and tall trunk, and only in this way can the canopy of the tree be luxuriant. If the tree grows in a sapling and is not pruned, it will grow slanted and crooked.

The same is true for Qian Chao, the little junior brother, who just learned to refine the spirit sword, and began to ponder the refining of miscellaneous weapons, although it is a good thing to ponder more, but it is still the same as the oblique branches of a small tree, it is too early, and it is good to lay a solid foundation before doing something else.

This Senior Brother Fang had a good impression of Qian Chao, so he talked so much. These made Qian Chao gain insight again, and while remembering it in his heart, he thanked him sincerely.

In the end, the hairpin, Qian Chao didn't take it back, and exchanged some ore like a four-rune spirit sword.

"Senior Brother Fang," Qian Chao originally planned to leave, but he thought that he asked Senior Brother Cheng about the breakthrough, and Senior Brother Cheng told him something, I don't know if this foundation-building Senior Brother Fang has any more intelligent opinions on this issue.

"Anyway, you can ask if you have something." Senior Brother Fang asked.

"Ask Senior Brother Fang, I always have a strange feeling when I practice recently, it seems to be a sense of oppression that I can't always use my hands and feet happily, I have consulted some senior brothers, and they all say that I am about to break through in my cultivation, and I don't know what I should do at this time."

"Oh, so fast? Brother Qian is really diligent, how long has he been like this? ”

"It's been more than ten days, Senior Brother Cheng Qiantang said let me not worry, just how to do it on weekdays."

"Well, he's right, as it should be. It's been more than ten days, so it's really fast, in this way, when you practice again, you might as well use your pills and spirit stones more, and when you break through, it's time to use these things more, and then, hey, that is, calm down, and you can't rush it. ”

It turned out that at this time, it was time to use more spirit stones and pills, Qian Chao nodded after hearing this.

After a busy day in Chengqi Hall, after returning to his residence, Qian Chao was ready to practice quietly for a while.

According to what Senior Brother Fang said, Qian Chao took out his spirit stone and pill from the storage bag, as well as a small pot of wine, which was the spirit wine given to him by Tang Ping.

Qian Chao's spirit stones and pills are very economical, and due to his own cultivation methods, the speed of cultivation improvement is not slow. A few days ago, I used some spirit stones and pills when I was pondering the Blue Eye Technique, and the rest are here.

After taking a pill and drinking a glass of spiritual wine, after sitting down, he folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and held a spirit stone in his hands. Abandoning many distracting thoughts, the whole world seems to be silent with the silence of the mind, and the tide of money at this time is like a small tree in the mountains and forests, although it is silent, but it is slowly sprouting.
