Chapter 205: Striking Iron
After a few days, Hao Lianfeng really asked Bao Shan to come over and inform him, probably not to worry about Dongfang Ming, and allowed You Ziji to go to Chihuo Peak to cultivate.
Dongfang Ming put on a disdainful expression, "It's not that you have to rely on Hao Xiaozi to help you cultivate, if he doesn't come to apologize in person, Lao Tzu won't be willing to accept your alms." ”
Bao Shan sneered, he felt that Hao Lianfeng and Dongfang Ming were just trying to save face, and if one of them gave in, he would never mock and ridicule.
"Why should Uncle Shi be angry with my master, you are all old acquaintances, and you don't know them yet, you have always been hard-mouthed, you pretend to be soft, isn't this done?"
Dongfang Ming sneered and said, "Will he be so good?" Maybe one day you'll come to ridicule me. ”
Bao Shan was choked by Dongfang Ming, and he didn't know what to say. At this time, it was the turn of You Ziji to appear.
You Ziji first pretended to coax Dongfang Ming to calm down his emotions before entering the topic and said: "It's useless for Uncle Shi to be angry here, it's better to let me go over and have a look, so I can come back with an explanation." ”
Dongfang Ming glanced up and down, "What can you say?" ”
You Ziji was speechless, where could he ask for any explanation.
However, when these words entered Bao Shan's ears, he immediately came to his senses, and Dongfang Ming said that there was still a chance.
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will definitely communicate with Master after I go back, and then give you a satisfactory explanation."
Dongfang Ming obviously didn't believe it, "You say yes, can you represent your master?" ”
Bao Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Almost." ”
"Almost? I don't care if you can or not, don't embarrass you, just forget about this matter, I will find a suitable place for You Boy, our Xuanming Dao is so big, it's not easy to find a place to cultivate. ”
Bao Shan looked embarrassed, Dongfang Ming didn't give any face.
You Ziji said: "Uncle Shi, I think it's not bad to split stones on the mountain. ”
Without waiting for Dongfang Ming to answer, Bao Shan hurriedly said: "How can this work, it's not to do lime business, how can there be a saying about splitting your own mountain." ”
Dongfang Ming looked impatient, "Then what do you say?" ”
Bao Shan replied: "Uncle Shi should spare me, I can't make amends to you on behalf of the master." ”
"If you say so, then I won't be angry with you. You boy, you have to open your eyes and take a closer look, if the Red Fire Peak is bullying, you have to come back and tell me. ”
Bao Shan looked terrified, "Uncle Shi is talking about this, even for the sake of the image of Chihuo Peak, he doesn't dare to bully the little junior brother." ”
Dongfang Ming said again: "I believe in your character, nephew, but Hao is very strict with his disciples, so I have to guard against it." You boy, you remember. ”
"I remember, Uncle Shi."
"Then don't bother me here, let's go."
Bao Shan saw Dongfang Ming release people, afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly pulled up the wandering Ziji Yuqi standard flying sword and ran away, "Okay, I'll take my junior brother away." ”
……
On Chihuo Peak, Hao Lianfeng had been waiting for the return of Baoshan, and saw You Ziji also following behind him from a distance, and he felt that he had the upper hand with Dongfang Ming, and he was very happy. Thinking that his image in front of the disciples was very serious, he returned to the room alone and did not interfere with the tossing of the juniors.
"Senior Brother You, I came here two days ago, and I haven't had time to show you around, but today I just took you to recognize the way."
As he spoke, Bao Shan took the wanderer and landed straight on the mountain pass, and when he looked down, he could see the faint purple flames.
You Ziji was shocked: "There is fire under this mountain? That's not very dangerous to live here. ”
Bao Shan explained: "Our Red Fire Peak is a special place for refining weapons in the sect, and this kind of crater is needed to provide a large amount of continuous flames, and there are flames in this place on the mountain. ”
As he spoke, he took You Ziji directly to the top of the mountain, where a magic weapon shaped like a bucket was placed, which seemed to be absorbing the sun's rays.
You Ziji stepped forward and touched it curiously, grinned back into his palm because he was so hot, and asked, "What kind of magic weapon is this, why is it so hot?" ”
He has samadhi true fire in his body, and it stands to reason that he is no longer afraid of ordinary flames, and being able to be scalded by this magic weapon container means that the things inside are very powerful.
Bao Shan explained: "This is filled with the sun fire essence, which is a grade stronger than the sun fire drawn by the five-color glass lamp, and the junior brother's samadhi true fire is not inferior to it, otherwise it would not be as simple as just scalding it just now." ”
"Is the Samadhi True Fire so powerful?"
Listening to the name, the two real fires should be the same grade.
Bao Shan explained: "What are the three kinds of spiritual fires in the world, can the junior brother know? ”
You Ziji had been exposed to relevant knowledge in Zi County, and replied: "Of course I know, it is divided into three kinds of flames, heaven, earth and man, the dark purple flame just now should be the earth fire in the ground, this sun fire essence is generated by using the sun, it should be the heavenly fire, and since my samadhi true fire is cultivated, it should probably be human fire." ”
"Where did you learn this knowledge?"
You Ziji said truthfully, "I heard what he said when I was helping a refiner in Zijun City, but he only said part of it, and I guessed the rest. ”
Bao Shan did not answer You Ziji directly, but took him to another place, where there was a deep pit with a radius of more than ten zhang, and in the deepest part there was a half-human-high stone that kept spewing flames.
He then asked You Ziji, "Senior brother, do you know which of the three flames of heaven, earth and man is this?" ”
You Ziji looked at the stones in the deep pit, "It's earth fire." ”
"It's a flame from a meteorite in the sky."
You Ziji immediately changed his words, "That's Tianhuo." ”
Bao Shan said: "You said it right before, but now you say it wrong, it's earth fire." ”
"Is it related to the material? Associated with stone is earth fire? You Ziji struggled to rely on his own ideas to explain.
Bao Shan then said to him: "The sun fire essence is also the fire of the earth. ”
You Ziji was stunned, and his head was a little confused for a while.
Bao Shan explained: "The level of refiners that my junior brother has met is not high, and I may not have seen the vast world of the way of refining weapons in my life, including their masters, otherwise I would not have told you the wrong knowledge. ”
You Ziji said suspiciously: "Wrong knowledge? ”
Bao Shan nodded, "Presumably, the refiner said that the human fire is a man-made flame, and the earth fire is a strange flame generated with the help of the earth's vein topography, and the heavenly fire should not be accessible to them, there is no corresponding description." The three types of flames of heaven, earth and man are simply divided into powers, with the heavenly fire being high and the human fire being low. ”
You Ziji said: "It's almost the same as what my senior brother said, is it all wrong?" ”
"The saying of the three fires of heaven, earth and man is not wrong, but the definition is not broad enough, the flames naturally generated in the world are collectively referred to as earth fire, and the heavenly fire is the flame that cannot be born in heaven and earth, and it is the divine power cultivated by living beings, such as the samadhi true fire of the junior brother, and other supernatural flames."
After You Ziji understood it, he said his thoughts, "It is not right to determine the strength of the flame simply by the three types of heaven, earth and man, and the true fire of Samadhi is also divided into many types, which may not be stronger than ordinary human fire. ”
Bao Shan couldn't help but praise: "The junior brother is really smart. ”
Before the two of them knew it, they had already arrived in front of the refining workshop, and a hot breath was blowing in their faces, and several furnaces were burning iron refining blocks, and it was obvious that someone was making magic weapons in them.
Pulling open the curtain, You Ziji was startled by the scene inside, only to see two strong men naked, pulling the four bellows at the same time to accelerate the burning of the furnace. They moved in this blazing environment, their skin was coppery, their whole body was sweaty, their trouser legs were soaked, their arms were swollen as they waved, and each movement caused a whirlwind in the room, which was no less powerful than the palm wind sent out by You Ziji.
One strong man is about the same height as the bun, and the other is a little shorter but stout, not much the width of the bun. And the faces of the two are a little immature, which does not match their figures. When they saw Bao Shan and You Ziji coming in, they didn't stop moving, and beckoned: "Senior brother is back, this should be the little junior brother." ”
You Ziji was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to call it, but he just said, "I've seen two senior brothers." ”
Bao Shan first stretched out his hand to the tall one and said, "This is your senior brother Wei Shanyue." ”
He pointed to the short man and said, "This is your senior brother Shi Yong." ”
You Ziji hurriedly re-saw the courtesy, and the two senior brothers showed honest smiles and were very polite to You Ziji.
Shi Yong and Wei Shanyue were still busy, so Bao Shan took You Ziji aside and began to teach him how to train.
"When Uncle Shi came, could you tell my brother what he needed to do?"
"Striking iron?"
Bao Shan looked at You Ziji's body, picked up a hammer, stood taller than You Ziji, and said: "It's indeed iron, but the hammer we have here also belongs to the category of magic weapons, but the junior brother can't use it." ”
He then glanced at You Ziji's body again, "So you need to use your palm instead of a hammer to beat the metal." ”
You Ziji looked at his own pair of fleshy palms, and then at the hammer head the size of his own head, stared at Bao Shan and said solemnly: "Senior brother is joking with me, how can I split with my ability." ”
Bao Shanzi also knew that this was unrealistic, so he said: "With your current strength, you naturally can't do it, so I arranged a suitable opponent for you." ”
After that, Bao Shan took out a basket of stones in the corner and said to You Ziji: "Here are some pure gold ores, and the junior brother only needs to beat them every day to refine the fine gold in them." ”
You Ziji picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see where the metal was, "Can you just hit it?" ”
The junior brother laughed, this ore needs to be burned red with a flame, and then forged with great force, so that the impurities in the ore can be eliminated and pure gold can be obtained. The junior brother will make the samadhi true fire, and it will not be difficult for you to think about it. ”
You Ziji smiled bitterly: "Then I'll try it." ”
He picked up a stone and wanted to use the method of alchemy to wrap it in a shadowless pocket to refine it, but he didn't expect that the stone was too big for the shadowless pocket to fit at all, so he had to put it in the furnace and then burn it with the samadhi true fire to refine it. When the stone burned red, You Ziji took it out and slapped it.
The temperature on the ore was extremely high, but You Ziji was not afraid, a palm was split on it, the ore did not move, and he sent a few palms in a row, but there was still no effect, but the force of the shock seemed to dismantle his bones.
Before he could figure out a solution, the temperature of the ore had decreased, and the red color on it had faded, so it had to be re-put into the furnace for refining.
Taking out the ore again, You Ziji didn't dare to touch the stone, so he hit it with a splitting palm. With his current strength, the power of splitting the air palm can be said to be unstoppable in the foundation building realm, but it has no effect at all on the stone.
You Ziji guessed that it might be that this ore contained a large amount of pure gold, which was difficult to shake, so he directly used the star vein and doubled the palm power, which could be regarded as having some effect.
The ore dimmed again, and You Ziji had no choice but to continue to burn with flames, this time, he was possessed by a wolf figure, his body swelled, and he was not afraid of the power of the shock, so he went up and beat the ore for a while.
After that, he used all his strength, and even broke out into a battle intent to fight the ore to the end.
It's a pity that his realm is not high, and his true qi content is not enough, so he has to rely on pills to maintain it halfway. In the end, at the end of the day, only one piece of ore was refined, and there were very few impurities on it, and the shape was irregular. His arms were sore and weak, and even his legs were cramping a little because he had to help with his strength, which seemed to be very difficult to cultivate.
Dongfang Ming was very satisfied with this, and said: "This is a good opportunity, not only to improve your power of power, but also to exercise your palm power, this is the beginning, but you have to persevere." ”
You Ziji has nothing to do, but he is dragged down by cultivation, and if he can't hold on a few times a day, he will run out of true qi, and his Hui Qi Pill is already running out.
Dongfang Ming patted his chest and said, "Look at it, you boy, see if I ask for some pills for you to come back." ”
Dongfang Ming and Hao Lianfeng, Qin Xiao and Le Qi are all very familiar friends, when he was out of the storm, he relied on the support and assistance of these men behind him, after all, magic weapons, elixirs and talismans are equipment that any monk must store.
……
Danyang Feng has been managed by Qin Shuyun since Qin Xiao's retreat, and she is also teaching the two junior disciples. After Dongfang Ming came, the previous feelings were useless, and he directly ate a soft nail.
Dongfang Ming said to Qin Shuyun: "Little Shuyun, Uncle Shi needs your help with something. ”
Qin Shuyun didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and directly wanted to send off the guest, "Uncle Dongfang is a rare guest, if you want to find my father, you will have to wait for a while, if he is out of the customs, I will inform you again?" ”
Dongfang Ming automatically skipped the meaning of Qin Shuyun's expulsion order with a shy old face, and then said: "You Boy needs some pills for his cultivation recently, and I wonder if Danyang Peak can provide some." ”
Qin Shuyun didn't seem to expect Dongfang Ming to be such a scoundrel, but if it was related to You Ziji, he really wouldn't refuse, "Little junior brother, I naturally want to help with my cultivation, I have a few bottles of pills here, just ask my uncle to help me send them." ”
What she said was the truth, she still wanted to continue to take You Ziji to alchemy, but thinking of Dongfang Ming's past style, the dozen bottles of pills that had reached her mouth had changed her mouth to a few bottles.
"That's really thanks to Shu Yun's niece, but his cultivation needs to consume a lot of pills, and I'm afraid these bottles are not enough."
Qin Shuyun said secretly, "Here, this old fox wants to extort things again." ”
She will not let Dongfang Ming continue, only by seizing the initiative of words will she not fall into Dongfang Ming's trap.
"My niece is also dissatisfied with my uncle, since my father went into retreat, my Danyang Peak's pill business has not been opened for a long time, where can I have spare money to purchase some excess elixir."
Dongfang Ming secretly disdainful, "This little girl is really good at lying, Qin Xiao didn't hear about any business outside Xuanming Dao when he was not in retreat, he was just about to interject, but was interrupted by Qin Shuyun."
"Uncle Shi, you must always be considerate of our juniors, it's really not okay, you wait for me to go out and sell some pills to make money, and then buy some materials and come back."
Dongfang Ming was stunned, it turned out that he wanted money, but he didn't have it, but it was still okay to exchange things for him.
"I have some medicinal wine here, which can be used to refine pills, and Shu Yun's niece only needs to take out the equivalent pills, and I will never take advantage of the juniors."
Qin Shuyun was a little stunned, and said in his heart: "Why is Uncle Shi so happy, this is not his style." ”
Fortunately, she reacted very quickly, "Look at what Uncle Shi said, your wine is the best, even if you have a little more price, it is reasonable, I don't know what kind of medicinal wine Uncle wants to use in exchange." ”
Dongfang Ming directly took out the porcelain bottle and said, "It's this flower god brew." ”
Qin Shuyun's eyes widened, this Flower God Brew is not for drinking, but its effect is extremely good, and many pills can be developed from it. Not to mention this kind of thing, even her father would definitely agree here.
"Uncle Shi wants to exchange for any elixir, just say, I will be satisfied."
"Yuan Dan."
"Yuan Dan?"
Dongfang Ming confirmed again: "That's right. ”
Qin Shuyun said with some unnaturalness on his face: "Yuan Dan is not a cherished pill, I think it is for the cultivation of junior disciples, but how much do you need to use it?" The value of a bottle of Flower God Brew is enough to exchange for tens of thousands of Yuan Dan, if you want so many Yuan Dan, wouldn't it be faster to buy them outside. ”
Dongfang Ming didn't explain why he needed so much, but said: "How can there be a perfect pill you have refined outside, but now there is only this bottle left, if it is outdated, you can't change it." ”
Qin Shuyun didn't think about it, and said, "Deal!" But Uncle Shi still has to be considerate of us, although this elixir is not difficult to refine, but the amount of work is too large, and there are many elixirs that need to be consumed, it is really a bit troublesome, and you need to add some more chips. ”
Dongfang Ming knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "You little fox, I don't know what you think yet, if you have time to go to my winery, you can take away the jar of wine." ”
Qin Shuyun raised his eyebrows, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Dongfang Ming casually threw the porcelain bottle to Qin Shuyun and left, thinking about pouring a few more bottles of flower god brewing on the way, and going to a few other places to exchange some treasures and come back.
On the other side, after receiving such a large business, Qin Shuyun immediately summoned all the personnel on Danyang Peak.
After listening to Qin Shuyun's account of what happened, Zou Shun and Dou Zhen lamented: "Although this business is cost-effective, senior sister, where did we get the materials and energy to get tens of thousands of Yuan Dan out." ”
Qin Shuyun looked like he hated iron but not steel, "Don't you know how to use your brains, why should we do it ourselves." This kind of large-scale work without skills naturally requires more manpower to complete, and we only need to divide a small part of the benefits and hand over this work to others, which is not much easier. ”
Zou Shun said: "This is indeed a good idea, as long as the collected pills are inspected, and the qualified ones will be handed over to Uncle Dongfang, and the unqualified ones will be returned." ”
Dou Zhen disagreed, "You said it lightly, but where did we find so many people to refine the pill." ”
Qin Shuyun was in no mood to continue to deal with this matter, "Then it's up to you to figure out a way by yourself, I'll go out, I hope you already have a solution when you come back." ”
Xuanming Daohua Yunying's dishes and Dongfang Ming's wine are all musts, but she still has to go to Tianyu Peak to find the third senior sister to ask for some delicious food, and she doesn't count the value of fine wine.
Zou Shun said: "It's really not good, let's go down the mountain and buy some in the city." ”
Dou Zhen said: "There may not be so many elixirs in Jianzhou City, if it really doesn't work, we will order a batch of elixirs and come back, and refine some by ourselves first." ”
Zou Shun nodded, "It's okay." ”
……
You Ziji went to Chihuo Peak to strike iron, so he didn't need to go to the wine shop to cultivate, except for the Mo Dan Peak painting talisman, he stayed in the refining workshop of Chihuo Peak almost every day.
His cultivation progress had also improved somewhat because of the elixir sent by Dongfang Ming, and he had been able to remove all the impurities of the two ores in one day.
I saw that he made a palm out of his hand, making a sound of breaking the air, hitting the ore, leaving a small depression trace, the effect was already very obvious compared to before, after sending out dozens of palms with all his strength in succession, his true qi was exhausted, so he sat on the ground, poured out a Yuan Dan and put it in his mouth to take it, and then used it to refine.
This Yuan Dan is a higher level of elixir than the Hui Qi Pill, in addition to restoring the true qi, it can also assist in cultivation on weekdays, even if the true qi is sufficient, it can continue to be refined and stored, which is something that the Hui Qi Pill can't do.
You Ziji runs the basic exercises, turning the Yuan Dan into true qi and absorbing it through the meridians. This exercise is peaceful, and You Ziji is so familiar with it that he can't be more familiar with it, it seems that he can only cultivate to the foundation building realm, and if he wants to advance, he needs to change the exercises, or break through the shackles of the realm with excellent talent.
However, because of this, You Ziji is not worried about advancing to the next realm. Dongfang Ming once said that his potential has not yet been fully developed, and You Ziji has already felt it now, although he is still a foundation realm cultivator, the content of true qi continues to grow as if there is no limit.
Especially after this period of iron striking, the daily consumption is replenished, and in this process, the true qi has risen a lot.
With his recent training and the advancement of his mastery of the Divine Power, he may one day be able to confront the monk with the magic weapon with a pair of fleshy palms.
Time passed, and a Yuan Dan was quickly consumed, and the true qi in his meridians was full again, and it was a little thicker than just now, and this rapid growth effect was really fascinating.
It's a pity that there is not much of the pill left, and the rest can last for about a day at most, if there is no blessing of this pill, his cultivation speed will be reduced again.
You Ziji threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and gathered his mind, got up and continued to strike iron, even if there was no pill, he still had to continue to cultivate, and it was useless to think so much.
