After the direction of the auxiliary forging body is confirmed, then the next step is to find ways to ensure the smooth implementation of this forging body cultivation method.

Relying only on Ding Zhengyi to run with weights to forcibly consume physical energy and promote the way of forging and cultivating the body is not only time-consuming, but also has too many people in the family to see, which is too high-profile.

Ding Changming thought about it for a while, considered a variety of plans, and made a comparative analysis one by one.

Not only must not waste time, but also be low-key and introverted, and must be able to ensure the effect of exercise, then there seems to be only one option that is feasible, and this is the extreme weight-bearing cultivation method.

Extreme weight-bearing cultivation is actually a common method of body forging, by loading the body with heavy objects that the spirit body can bear, to continuously increase physical energy consumption, and the monk does not need to deliberately spend time exercising, so that the purpose of speeding up the cultivation of the body forging technique can be achieved.

Many body cultivators have made this heavy object into an armor style, which is composed of two leg guards, arm guards, and armor pieces on the front chest and back, which can not only adjust the weight at will in daily cultivation, but also reduce the strange feeling of the heavy objects on the body, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the body, which is simply a triple win.

Regarding the choice of heavy materials, Ding Changming was a little difficult to decide at this time.

This is not because he is ignorant of the various spiritual materials in the cultivation realm, on the contrary, although Ding Changming is not good at refining, his status in Xuanshan is not low.

Therefore, Ding Changming was qualified to participate in some trade fairs or auctions, which also made him familiar with all kinds of refining spiritual materials, and his surface characteristics and hidden characteristics were well understood.

In Ding Changming's opinion, there are at least dozens of mid- and low-level spiritual materials in the cultivation realm to choose from, and they all have the characteristics of both heavy and hard, even if some rare and precious things are excluded, there are many spiritual materials suitable for creating this kind of weight-bearing protective gear.

But then he thought that using spiritual materials to create these protective gear was not only expensive and difficult for the family to afford financially, but also that the protective gear created was overflowing with spiritual pressure, and the qi cultivators wore it on their bodies, just like a three-year-old child holding a gold brick, which was very easy to cause trouble.

Just when Ding Changming was hesitant and was about to put this matter aside for a while, he suddenly thought that there was a kind of mortal thing that was not inferior to ordinary middle-level spiritual materials in terms of hardness, and even ranked among the best among all kinds of spiritual materials in terms of weight, and there was no spiritual pressure, which was the most suitable for Ding Zhengyi's specific needs at present.

This kind of mortal thing is iron essence, iron essence is one of the very few mortal things in the cultivation world that need to be traded with spirit stones, and its main role is to use it to build more important building components for sects and families.

The iron essence is derived from mortal iron, which is made by calcining and refining the monks who have built the foundation and cultivated above with the real fire in the dantian.

Every time 100 catties of iron are refined, it needs to be calcined for about half an hour by building a foundation with real fire.

The refining process also requires careful control of firepower, and constant adjustments are made, which is quite energy-consuming.

A large amount of mana and divine consciousness are consumed, and only about ten catties of iron essence can be obtained in the end, so this kind of refining is not a big challenge for the foundation building monks.

And the iron essence that made the foundation building monk so time-consuming and laborious to obtain, the value is naturally not low, although it is not as good as the spiritual material, and cannot be used for the refining of magic weapons, but the price of each catty of iron essence is at least above a low-grade spirit stone.

However, even so, there are very few iron spirits in the general market.

After all, the cultivation time of the monks who have built the foundation and cultivated above is extremely precious, and every monk has been cultivating day and night in order to go further and realize the leap in life.

Even the most down-and-out foundation building cultivators would rarely waste a lot of time and energy refining iron essence for the sake of these few small number of spirit stones.

It was only under the constraints of some sect tasks that these high-ranking cultivators had to refine a few of them, and even so, they kept complaining, and seemed to be miserable.

However, the iron essence comparable to the spiritual material naturally has its own uniqueness, after the calcination and refining of the foundation building true fire, the hardness of the iron essence is very different from that of mortal iron, and some high-quality iron essence can resist the attack of intermediate magic weapons by itself.

And excessive heaviness is a disadvantage attached to iron essence, a fist-sized piece of iron essence often weighs more than 100 catties.

Because of the existence of this drawback, the application of iron essence in other aspects has been greatly restricted, and iron essence is almost invisible on the market, so that many monks have completely unheard of this thing.

And it is precisely the disadvantage of heaviness, coupled with its hard characteristics, that the combination of the two just meets the requirements of the armor needed to build Ding Zhengyi.

Thinking of this, Ding Changming no longer hesitated, he made up his mind to use the iron essence to create the armor needed for Ding Zhengyi's body refining.

However, according to Ding Zhengyi's current forging progress, it is not a big problem for him to carry hundreds of catties, and with the improvement of his refining body, even if it is thousands of catties, it will not be far away.

However, to refine the iron essence weighing thousands of catties, although the cost of materials is negligible, it will take at least nearly a month for Ding Changming, and during this period, the energy he will spend will be difficult to estimate.

In addition, Ding Changming still has to pay attention to his injuries, and refining such a large amount of iron essence will inevitably become a great burden for him.

However, for the sake of Ding Zhengyi's growth, Ding Changming still believes that this matter is indispensable, and at most the time span for refining iron essence will be extended, and the recovery progress of the injury can be guaranteed first.

With a plan in his heart, Ding Changming didn't waste any more time, he quickly walked out of his thoughts.

At this time, Ding Zhengyi was not upset by the patriarch's contemplation, and was playing with the armor-piercing cone with great interest.

"Xiaoyi, I just summarized your discovery of forging body, and I think that the way to use weights to consume physical energy and thus promote forging body cultivation is very suitable for your current situation. ”

Seeing Ding Zhengyi staring at the armor-breaking cone quite intently, Ding Changming felt very relieved, but it was not too early, so he didn't delay in this matter any longer, and directly talked about the matter of forging body cultivation.

"I'm going to use a special material to create a pair of armor for you, you can consume a lot of physical energy by wearing it on weekdays, and you don't need to waste time doing strenuous exercise, but it's not easy to build armor, and it is estimated that it will take three months to achieve success, during which you first concentrate on Qi cultivation, and strive to break through to the late stage of Qi cultivation with the assistance of pills. ”

Ding Changming saw that Ding Zhengyi didn't mean to speak, he put on a deferential look, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued.

"Okay, I also think it's time to speed up the progress of cultivation, otherwise in the face of a crisis, you can only be helpless, and the feeling of sitting still and waiting to die is really indescribable. ”

Hearing Ding Changming mention the matter of cultivation again, Ding Zhengyi's face became serious, and he seemed to be able to feel that the sharp sword hanging over the family's head was emitting a cold light.

"You don't have to worry too much, the current situation in Xuanshan is quite delicate, even if the Xuanshan faction's master and apprentice forces are dominant, but many Xiuzhen families are also intertwined, even if they are bold, they don't dare to have an open conflict with the Xiuzhen family, as long as they are cautious in everything, they will be safe. ”

Ding Zhengyi wrote all the vigilance on his face, and Ding Changming naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, he analyzed the overall situation and said comfortingly.

After finishing the business, the two chatted for a while, and Ding Zhengyi shared the situation of several young juniors he had cultivated with the patriarch by the way.

Ding Changming listened to it with relish at first, but it didn't take long for him to gradually realize that the mana that had been forcibly suppressed just now was hurting, and he began to move again, and he urgently needed to meditate and recuperate, so he signaled that this was the end of today.

Then Ding Changming quickly explained a few words, in addition to letting Ding Zhengyi take the latte essence protective gear three months later, he also told him to be careful in everything in case of another accident.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, Ding Changming waved his hand to Ding Zhengyi and motioned for him to leave on his own, and he himself got up from the chair, walked to the futon and sat down.
