Scenery of the North Chapter 28 Retreat
A month seems to be a long time, but for those who are guarding outside, it may be a time to sleep, or to think about a problem, which passes in a flash, but for Lu An, a month is quite a long time, and he has never spent so long doing something.
Therefore, after three days of hard work, but no great progress, Lu An began to be inexplicably irritable, and gradually couldn't control his emotions, although he knew that time was precious, but he still couldn't calm down and devote himself wholeheartedly.
After wasting another day, Lu An finally realized that he should solve this problem first, otherwise this month may be wasted for him, and he can only wait for death after he goes out.
After thinking about it for a while, since the master deliberately chose such a place for himself to retreat, then there must be a special place, and it is impossible to get such a room for himself, otherwise it would be too meaningless, although his cheap master is always Shinto, but what he thinks and does Lu An thinks he can't do, and thinks very deeply, he must have considered this problem for a long time, and must have thought of a solution for himself, that is, this person is particularly not on the way, and always likes to set up a trick for others, and this time I don't know what set for myself, even if I go out to ask him, it is estimated that he will definitely not say, everything has to rely on himself。
Thinking of this, Lu An couldn't help laughing, the anxiety and irritability in front of him were unconsciously reduced a lot, and sure enough, there was an elder behind him, and he was easy to feel at ease.
Lu An looked around, this cave is so big, the stone bed, the stone table, the stone bench, after checking one side, he gave up, solid, he stayed on it for four days, and he didn't find anything special, the stove is just an ordinary fire, and the spring water is also ordinary water, and there is nothing special about it.
Then there is the flower garden left, and there are a lot of flowers and plants that Lu An has never seen before, needless to say, they should all be relatively valuable, so most of the solutions should be in this pile of flowers and plants.
Thinking back to the first day I came in, I had a close look at this flower garden, and I had the impression that I seemed to smell a special smell, and after I smelled this smell, the whole person calmed down.
Yes, that's what it should be, but why can't I smell it today?
Lu An didn't believe in evil, lying on the place, smelling them one by one, silently reciting in his heart, hoping that they were all not poisonous.
After smelling more than a dozen flowers and plants, Lu An finally found the smell, compared to the taste of the first day, now its taste has been much, much lighter, if you don't get close to smell it, you can hardly smell this smell.
Smelling this tranquil smell again, Lu An couldn't help but calm down again.
So he carefully picked a leaf with his hand, took it to his nose and smelled it, and suddenly a cool breath rushed straight to his brain, making Lu An shiver for a while, but after a while, the mood that was still irritable and abnormal calmed down, and his mind only felt quiet and emptied.
Lu An unconsciously glanced at this leaf one or two more, there is really such a magical thing, which can affect people's spirits, this is simply a divine object, with this, isn't it that cultivation can directly enter the state of selflessness, twice the result with half the effort, sure enough, the old man's family background is still very strong, but I still feel a little uneasy, I am not going to suck it after a while, a little troublesome, Lu An'an crossed, and swallowed this leaf directly, the leaf does not have any taste, and it melts directly after it is in the mouth, and then it is a chill that rushes straight to the brain。
Without allowing for much thought, Lu An swept away the strange thoughts in his mind, tightened his mind, and started again.
Lu An skillfully condensed that layer of faint mist in his hand, took a small piece of gold ingot and put it in his hand, and began to try, when the mist touched the gold ingot, Lu An's mind actually appeared a model of a gold ingot, and there was a faint flame below, Lu An realized that the mist in his hand should be that fire, burning against this gold, this is the so-called condensation, this sudden change made Lu An happy, The situation in my mind should be the sea of spiritual consciousness mentioned on the slate, which is the so-called spiritual root realm, which has opened up my own sea of spiritual consciousness, and it is only when I have truly entered the path of cultivation that I have finally succeeded in the first step.
The piece of gold in the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness, Lu An could even see the potholes on the surface, as well as all kinds of impurities, and even the composition of the entire gold was so clear in the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness, then he could finally start to use that faint flame to condense it.
Lu An recalled the operation of the day he understood, first a cloud of green smoke, the gold ingot became smaller, rounded, and turned into dazzling gold, this step should be to purify it, burn all the impurities clean, leaving only the purest gold, and then purify it, melt and purify, and finally form pure gold, the steps are all figured out, then you can start.
Lu An directly used the flame to wrap the entire gold ingot, burning from the outside to the inside, Lu An found that although this gold looks like a whole, but it is not pure at all, this flame can flow directly to the inside of the gold along those impurities, and burn in all aspects, so what is left in the end is the gold after purification.
In this way, Lu An watched the impurities of this piece of gold being burned clean, although the speed was very slow, but at least he could see that the impurities were decreasing.
Lu An condensed in the sea of spiritual knowledge, and the gold in his hand also changed with the changes in the sea of spiritual knowledge, and in this way, half a day passed, and the gold became a round spherical shape, Lu An opened his eyes, exhaled softly, and finally burned all the impurities clean.
But unfortunately, the internal force in Lu An's body has been completely consumed at this moment, and he is now just a first-grade martial artist, unlike a grandmaster who has a lot of internal force to support, and he can only rest now, recover his internal strength and continue.
It didn't take long for Lu An to recover almost, because he was still a first-class martial artist, and to be honest, the consumption and recovery were really fast.
The next step is the second step, which is to condense this golden ball into transparent gold water.
Lu An closed his eyes, and the familiar scene in the sea of spiritual consciousness resurfaced, at this moment, this sphere seemed very tight and strong, and he could no longer feel any impurities.
The fire wrapped this golden ball in this way, and after a long time, this golden ball finally began to melt, and slowly began to turn into golden water, Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, but realized a problem, his internal force may not last until the end, at most the gold water will be condensed into transparency, and it should be unrealistic to condense pure gold in one breath.
Lu An realized this problem, but he could only bite the bullet and try it.
The result was not surprising, after this gold water became transparent, Lu An couldn't hold on, the first attempt failed, and after Lu An stopped condensing, the transparent gold water slowly condensed into irregular gold nuggets, and everything was completely abandoned.
Lu An sighed, let's recover the internal force first.
After Lu An recovered his internal force, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the internal force that had been decreasing before had increased a little at this moment, which was simply an unexpected joy.
This sudden change made Lu An excited, and no matter what caused it, it could be the leaf he ate?
Lu An picked up the irregular gold nugget and tried again.
It's still the same as the previous process, it slowly turned into golden water, and then the golden water became transparent, until this step, Lu An found that he still had a small half of the internal force, and this time he was sure that he could succeed.
The next step is the most important step, the transparent liquid on the hand slowly emitted white smoke, the liquid became less and less, and finally began to turn into a faint gold water, the white smoke continued to rise, the gold became deeper and deeper, and finally the white smoke was no longer rising, and the liquid on the hand was gone.
Lu An was also relieved, and finally finished, leaving only the golden hair in his palm.
Seeing this, Lu An suddenly laughed, "Hahahaha", and then collapsed directly on the stone bed, giggling there alone.
The guard outside is lying on a chair basking in the sun, and the corners of his mouth are also showing a smile at this moment.
In this way, after Lu An succeeded once, he was enchanted after that, and devoted himself wholeheartedly, condensing the gold nuggets every day, and then Lu An really condensed all the gold nuggets that he understood, from the first time he needed to rest twice to condense a piece, and now, he can condense a piece without resting, the reason is that Lu An's internal strength has unconsciously recovered to the point of second grade within a month, and some small skills that he has realized after practice makes perfect.
The recovery of internal strength can be regarded as a big gain, and the other is that Lu An has a small handful of pure gold like hair in his hand.
This thing looks like a strand of hair, and it seems to be very light, but it is actually a very heavy thing, and it is also a magical thing.
Lu An looked around, confirmed that there were no more gold nuggets, and he could finally go out, which was considered a successful retreat, and he didn't know how long it took him, so he cleaned up the cave a little, and then left the cave directly with such a handful of things in his hand.
The door opened, and after coming out, I found myself back in the blacksmith shop, smelling the familiar smell, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and then at first glance, I saw that I was sleeping on a chair outside the door, and I saw that I had been guarding outside for so long, and Lu An was actually a little moved.
was about to wake up to understand, but he woke up directly, saw Lu An standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Come out?"
Lu An nodded, and then stretched out his hand to show his results.
Knowing that when he saw this handful of pure gold, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped up directly from the chair, "This, this, this, is your achievement this month?"
Lu An nodded, laughed understandingly, and said, "Get rich, get rich." Then he patted Lu An on the shoulder, "Boy, do you know the value of your handful of pure gold?"
Of course, Lu An shook his head, how could he know.
"Your handful of pure gold can be counted as a month's output in Shangjiang City, do you understand? You alone are worth a month of hard work for all the grandmasters in Craftsman City, and it is good, it really didn't disappoint me. He laughed in understanding.
Lu An still didn't understand the situation, "Why are you so surprised? Didn't you let me finish refining them all within a month?"
"At that time, I just said it casually, for fear that you would be lazy, so I deliberately said it harshly. He replied casually, then held the pure gold in his hand and sniffed it, "It smells like money, it smells good." ”
Lu An couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust when he looked at this kind of performance, and the previous emotion had now dissipated.
"This month, except for eating, drinking, and lazing, I almost didn't dare to sleep there, and I almost died of exhaustion there. Lu An couldn't help scolding.
Knowing this, he put away his things first, then brushed his beard, returned to his appearance as a teacher, and said dignifiedly: "That's not what I said, this month, the benefits to you are huge, haven't you noticed that your strength has not regressed, but is about to reach the third grade?"
"Then I'm going to heal soon?" Lu An asked.
Clearly shook his head, "That's no, although the strength has recovered, but the injury is still the same, it can only be said that it delayed your time a little, don't forget, you also ate a leaf in it, that thing is precious and precious for a few years to grow a piece, you actually ate it directly, originally when you were restless, as long as you meditate in the flower garden for a while, you can solve the problem, but your kid's approach really makes me feel a little distressed when I think about it, but by mistake, you directly opened the sea of spiritual sense." ”
Hearing that the injury was still like this, Lu An was discouraged again, but it was good news that he had bought a little time, and he didn't listen to what he said at all.
