Chapter 23: The Man Who Refined
As the comfort of my whole body became stronger and stronger, I finally filled up the aura, but eighty percent of the aura I replenished was less than one-tenth of the master's total.
"Master, what level of spiritual root are you?" As I walked towards the town, I asked a question that I had wanted to ask for a long time, but Master hadn't said it, and I was embarrassed to ask, but Master taught me such a good lesson today, so I naturally struck while the iron was hot and asked the question that was holding back in my heart.
Kong Zhi said: "I don't have a level. ”
"No level? That's incredible, I haven't heard of it. "I was amazed.
"There's a lot you haven't heard of. Kong Zhi said mockingly, and a little stubbornness in my bones "soared".
"I don't believe that Master doesn't have a level, it must be a ninth-level ......"
"Haha...... Level 9 ...... Level 9 is a fart. "Kong Zhi's arrogance shocked me very much, he is usually very low-key, but when there were only the two of us here, he actually said a crazy word, which made me feel very strange, what happened to the master.
However, I thought about it calmly, since the master is not the ninth level and looks down on the ninth level so much, it must not be the seventh level, because the seventh level will be turned into scum in seconds, just like Sister Ling'er. Could it be that the master is the eighth level, and the eighth level has the qualification to disobey, and the ninth level can only hurt him, but it can't second him. But it's not like ah, if it's an eighth-level monk, then the fireball technique can also blow up that stream dry, and if the power is a magician, plus the immortal monk's weakening to eighty percent, it will be a second-level monk at most, right? If I cultivate the fireball technique, I will definitely be able to blow up that kind of fireball.
No, no, there are ghosts. Master, this person is so ghostly, even the apprentice hides it, and he doesn't put the ninth level in his eyes, it's too weird, but I can't figure it out.
"I don't understand, do you?" said the master, mockingly.
I pouted and said, "If you don't say it, just say it, and sooner or later you'll know." ”
"Actually, I've already told you!" Kong Zhi pretended to say mysteriously, and then continued to move forward with his face up, like that, if it weren't for my master, he would have to slap him, but then again, I can't beat him. His words left me confused and confused. But after a long time with Kong Zhi, as a person from Yi Shumen, I must find details and loopholes, since he said it, that is, in the conversation and action just now, I tried my best to recall.
These processes were deliberately trained by Master Kong Zhi, but in fact, there is no need to hide the number of levels of spiritual roots, unless you are facing the enemy in battle.
Master said that the ninth level was also destroyed by the first-level people, and after he threw out the fireball, he actually shook his hand, could it be that it was burned? I have never heard of a magician who played with fire and burned himself. That means that the basic flames are not easy to bear, and the master is a first-class monk...... How can it be so powerful There is also an awakening technique, the speed of flight, I can't bear it at all, I'm obviously level three.
I was stunned, and the master naturally noticed it, smiled and said, "Being a teacher is a first-class. ”
The first level is still laughing so confidently, so stinky fart, and it is rare later, but the master has cultivated the awakening technique, which means that the master is a genius, but the foundation is too poor, but even if the foundation is poor, why is it so powerful (
e) What about it?
"Then Master, I don't understand, why is your momentum so amazing, you always look like a master outside the world, and your awakening technique, four-character true trick ......"
"How to say it, I have already told you the method just now, just disperse the aura if you have nothing to do, don't worry about someone attacking you and no aura, you have to be brave enough to refine your own spiritual root, and polish it repeatedly, if the ninth-level spiritual root is a towering ancient tree, then the relative first-level spiritual root is a small wooden stick, if you sharpen the wooden stick to be extremely sharp, like a steel needle, you can also kill the enemy, the object must be reversed, the first level seems to be the weakest, but it can actually be the strongest, just like "Eight Phase Chess" Elephants eat lions, tigers, leopards, wolfdogs, dogs, cats, cats, mice, and mice. And when one day you cultivate the Awakening Technique, the level gap of the Spirit Root is close to zero, and the rat can also become a giant rat and kill everything, but there are too few people who have cultivated the Awakening Technique. ”
"Huh, will I not be able to practice?"
"As a teacher, why can't you be at the third level? In fact, the flame detection level method popular in the Immortal Cultivation Realm is not perfect. The first-level spiritual root is also pure, and the ninth-level is also chaotic, and the heat resistance is useful, but it can only prove that the ability to resist hits is strong, but speed, reaction, strategy, cooperation, play, etc. are also the key to the battle, and there is the explosion and awakening, and when you have the awakening skill, the difference in the level of the spiritual root will become smaller. However, there are also differences in the quality and quantity of Awakening Techniques. Master Kong Zhi explained.
When I heard this, my mind immediately exploded, which means that although I am a third-level player, I can still cultivate the combat power of Tongtian.
Kong Zhi said again: "Your previous master mentioned luck to you, in fact, luck is a dog thing, that's like some storytellers in the rivers and lakes can't go on, I don't know what to do, so let the protagonist put on a halo, come to a good luck so he survived, fooling mortal things, the most illogical." Luck does exist, but good luck can only be once or twice, if you want to be lucky every time, this possibility is unique, people who rely on luck have no strength, powerful people never consider the parameter of luck, absolute strength needs absolute grasp, relying on luck is a gambler. ”
Our master and apprentice chatted while walking, I gained a lot, and the master taught me the cultivation method of the magic formula, it was too difficult, it turned out to release all the aura in tens of thousands of wind control flights, in order to gradually hone it, the same second to use ten times of the wind control formula at the same time, but also to use the four-character formula at the same time, not to mention the simultaneous launch of ten wind control tips, that is, the four-character true formula is impossible to use at the same time, just like holding a rice bowl in one hand, this hand also has to carry a leather bag, the other hand holds chopsticks, and at the same time has to punch, both feet have to jump high, the head has to shake, and the eyes have to stare into the distance to look at a thing carefully, you say it is not difficultIt's just embarrassing.
Thinking of this, I asked Master a question: "Master, did you practice by running away too many times?"
Master slapped me in the head, but Master didn't speak, as if he was wandering in his memories.
I covered my head and stepped on Master's back in the rising morning sun and walked into the town in front of me.
......
The red line of the lightning marten stopped in front of a blacksmith shop, and the red line on the soul turned in place, and it seemed that the "Cao Xue" was hiding here.
Master looked at me, put away the lightning marten soul, and then began to transfigure, and after a brief tidying up, he turned into a suave middle-aged monk with a long sword on his back. It is said that this immortal cultivation world is still dominated by swords, the fiery red red phoenix sword, the frost sword that braves the frost, and the bamboo sword like a bamboo knot, which is dazzling, and occasionally you will see a good sword of the highest grade.
As for me, I was wiped by the master's face, and I became a little disciple wearing a light blue robe like him, and I took a small mirror from the storage bag and looked at it, oh, okay, why did I become a dound face? Like a bun, but fortunately, it is not like a sugar triangle. Master is deliberately playing tricks on me and making me so ugly, but in fact, I am quite handsome now.
At this time, it is the time for people to get up and work, and as soon as they have finished changing their appearances, there are more pedestrians outside.
The door of the blacksmith shop was hidden, and when I pushed the door in, a smell of copper rust filled the air, but when I looked around, I found that the iron hanging on the wall and on the weapon rack was not extraordinary, but some magic weapons, all kinds of magic weapons, I heard the tearful master say that you will also buy a magic weapon in the future, my heart jumped, and I entered the place where the magic weapon was sold for the first time.
The difference between the magic weapon and the ordinary mortal iron is that there are aura fluctuations around the magic weapon, as long as you cast the word absorption formula, you can see it, and the moment to use the word absorption formula is the daily life of the monk, so that you can quickly judge the things and people related to the immortal cultivator, the four-character true recipe of the word absorption formula, the consumption of spiritual energy is the smallest, negligible, and negligible.
"Excuse me, do you want to practice a magic weapon?" asked Master Kong Zhi an old man wearing an apron, wiping a magic weapon behind the counter.
"Ah, I felt outside the door that this was not a blacksmith shop, but a magic shop, so I came in and took a look, but I didn't expect that my luck was good, it was really a hidden magic weapon shop, but I don't know why the shop didn't just call it a magic weapon shop? ”
"The town is too small to fit big fish, and I usually make some iron tools for the people around me, if it is called a magic weapon shop, the people around here will not patronize it, and the old people will not starve to death, and there is such a remote place, how can it be easy for immortal cultivators to patronize it? The old man didn't hide it and explained directly, and he generously sold the "collection" at a casual price. What is a collection, of course, it is the best or unique magic weapon in the magic weapon.
Kong Zhi really couldn't resist the temptation, and looked around, but said as if he was embarrassed: "The old gentleman really killed me, since it is your collection, how can I easily win people's love, if there is really something I like, there are as many spirit stones as there should be." ”
cough, how can an immortal cultivator be so generous, the master is pretending to be pi, making himself look like a rich master of a famous family.
As soon as Master finished speaking, a person came out from behind the curtain of the inner hall, a young woman of stunning appearance, who looked to be twenty-two or three years old, and looked at Master and me curiously, we did not know her, and she did not know us.
The young lady was very watery, with white and tender skin, and her short, compact little face was inlaid with two black jewel-like almond eyes, and the whole looked like a little goblin. The neck length and shoulders look a little weak, and the serious face makes people feel a little old-fashioned. The front bangs were cut into a stove pit door, making the already small face appear smaller. The bangs are long at both ends of two long locks of hair, which are always connected to the sideburns, and the two small braids hang down to the cheeks. The most conspicuous thing about her is that there is a white snowflake the size of a little thumb at the center of her eyebrows, which seems to be tattooed, but I can faintly feel that there is a unique aura fluctuation there.
She nodded politely to us, and then she said to the old man: "Grandpa, I have cooked the spirit beast soup you want, drink it while it is hot!"
"Girl, grandpa's longevity is coming to an end, it is the destiny of heaven, why do you want to be like this, the spirit beast is a strange beast of heaven and earth, the creation of heaven and earth, although it has the effect of prolonging life, but it cannot be slaughtered casually, how can I drink this soup, I have killed countless sins in my cultivation life, and I will commit a sin when I am about to do it?" The old man sighed again and again, with a sad face. Now I think of the old man's appearance, and what is the difference between my sigh now, people will die, and his words are good.
When Kong Zhi heard this, his face was not shocked, which made me admire, the eighteen or nine of the spirit beast soup was boiled by the bones of the lightning mink.
The master said: "Old man, since the spirit beast is dead, there is no question of killing or not killing, karma and morality, and it is also a chance that you can get the spirit beast soup, and it is also very cost-effective to increase your longevity." ”
After the master finished speaking, he turned his back to the grandfather and grandson and looked at the magic weapon on the wall, staring at a double-ring magic weapon that shone with light blue brilliance in a daze, two lines of hot tears rolled down, and I was helpless on the side, and I didn't dare to show the slightest concern, I didn't expect the relationship between the master and the spirit beast to be so deep, the master is a good person who values love and righteousness, and can be an apprentice of Kong Zhi, I am also fortunate to have three lives, I feel a lot of emotion in my heart, and I think of the ruthless people who roll on the ground, on the surface, they are very united, but in fact, they have ghosts.
The old man sighed and drank the spirit beast soup in one go, then meditated cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refining the spirit beast soup.
And the woman walked out of the counter and said to the master with a charming face: "Senior, this spirit beast soup is a great tonic, but there is a lot of soup left over from a spirit beast, you just persuaded my grandfather to drink the soup, the little woman is very grateful, and I will give you a bowl here to express her gratitude." Although these two bowls are not as pure as the first bowl, they are also good elixirs. ”
"This, how embarrassing is this!" When the master turned his face, the tears on his face had disappeared, and his face had changed, even the tears had disappeared, admiration, he was definitely the actor in the world of cultivating immortals.
"That's it, my apprentice is young and in the stage of growth, let's give him this bowl of soup to drink, maybe he can improve his cultivation a little, my lifespan is very long, and I don't need foreign things to make up for it. Kong Zhi said this and glanced at me.
I...... Master, you ...... Embarrassed me, can you really do it, Master, are you still testing my reaction at this juncture? I'm going to drink your spirit beast, you can't beat my ass into eight petals. Forget it, I have to find a way to refuse, I had an idea, and said: "That, young lady, I am a fighting mage, my body is very strong, and the spirit beast soup is not suitable for me, you should keep it for the old man." ”
The young lady smiled slightly, that smile was like ten thousand flowers blooming, chrysanthemum curling, summer lotus blooming, she said: "The little brother is really well-behaved, but it looks a little familiar." ”
My heart was excited, but on the surface, I was not shocked, this was all forced out by the master, how could I hurry, if I didn't say anything about the master's affairs by showing my feet, I would be very miserable. In short, this ability was not only taught by the master, but also forced.
"How can there be, this child looks popular, it is inevitable to look a little familiar, we came here from a long distance to visit relatives, passing by here, I didn't expect that there is a magic weapon shop in this remote place, I actually have the heart to choose a magic weapon for the apprentice, but I don't want your grandfather to be too generous, how can I win people's love, and I have the prestige of losing the reputation and decency. Kong Zhi said.
The little girl smiled slightly and said, "My grandfather's limit is approaching, no matter how good this magic weapon is, he can't take it away, maybe he saw it and gave it to someone who is destined." Of course, if you are willing to buy the spirit stones, I can also give you a price, these magic weapons are shared by my grandfather and me. If you don't like it, I can still make it for you, as long as you take out the drawings and materials, and make a high-grade magic weapon is not a problem for this girl. From small embroidery needles to large mountain seals, it is not a problem. ”
Kong Zhi was stunned this time, but it made me feel very strange, only to hear the master say, "You are a refiner?"
I didn't know what was going on at the time, but later I realized that refiner is a profession of monks, and many stories of cultivating immortals write about how good the refiner is, how good and how he fights with other monks, that's all nonsense, does striking iron have anything to do with absorbing the aura of heaven and earth? The refiner is not a cultivator's cultivation method, but an additional profession for monks, just like the master pretending to be a dancing god is a profession, Wang Qianqiu is also a profession for singing and turning a two-person person, and the formation mage is also a profession, and the formation can be driven by any kind of monk of the hexagonal type. The combat effectiveness of refining weapons may not be high, what really depends on the combat effectiveness is the degree of cultivation, the comprehension of the awakened technique developed, and the quality of the spiritual root.
Although my cheap master denied the factor of the spiritual root, it was only after the awakening technique that it was still very influential to ordinary immortal cultivators, and it had been circulating in the immortal cultivation world for a long time, and the impact was far-reaching. Kong Zhi is a hermit, naturally different, it is inevitable that he has such an insight, it is possible for a brilliant genius to change his life, and the first-level spiritual root has become a master-level monk, if this is seen by others, it is definitely a myth. Although my apprentice-level is a third-level spiritual root, what is the use of it? Master can suffocate me with a single breath, not to mention that he is so eloquent.
"Yes, the little woman is a refiner, but the exercises are low, so she can only refine the magic weapon, and the magic weapon cannot be practiced. ”
"I'm still young, my cultivation is shallow, and I'm just an apprentice-level monk, so it's good that the magic weapon can barely be driven. I think the purple double ring is good, you make a price, I'll take a look, if it's right, I'll buy it. Kong Zhi is facing away from the purple double ring, and he has just seen it, and the discerning person knows that he is optimistic about this one.
The little girl smiled slightly and said, "Just three hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
"Ah, so expensive!" I was immediately stunned, the corners of the master's mouth twitched, and he couldn't hide his expression, and said: "Ming people don't say secret words, I think you want to get back the three hundred high-grade spirit stones, so what about the spirit beast I have become into broth?"
Master surprised me and tore his face directly, and then he turned into the makeup of the dancing god, changing in public, directly exposing his skills. And the girl was not ambiguous, and became Cao Xue in a blink of an eye.
I took seven steps back, stood by the wall, and immediately became "Stand aside!", Master, his old man was angry, and Cao Na was good at changing times, "Cao Xue" turned out to be so powerful, could it be that the immortal monk is not successful, and he is also good at changing, that is too coincidental? But it is said that it is too rare in the world for monks who can achieve Master's change technique.
The girl's grandfather was refining the spirit beast soup and entered the peak state, and all the movements in the outside world were unknown, and the old man's face gradually became ruddy, from a white-haired old man to a black-haired man.
It stands to reason that Master's statement is that if he can not fight, he will not fight, and since the person in front of him can deceive him from the world, then the means are naturally clever, but what is wrong with Master now? That means that Master is completely sure and his strength is far greater than that of the other party.
Master, as soon as he stretched out his hand to the wall, the ring magic weapon fell into his hand in an instant, and the "Cao Xue" was not ambiguous, the moment he raised his hand, there was an extra leather whip in his hand. The ring is a very powerful magic weapon, and it generally restrains mainstream swords, but the whip also restrains the ring.
Kong Zhi smiled and said, "Girl, you misunderstood, I just want to see if this ring is bought or not." After speaking, he returned from a fighting posture to the appearance of an honest person, and his momentum suddenly disappeared, making people cry and laugh, and the master was still too lazy to use force, because with the master's combat strength, ordinary monks might be wiped out from the immortal cultivation world in an instant.
Momentum is something that I learned with my later battles, if you go up, the enemy will also rise, and if you fall, the enemy will easily decline. However, Cao Xue on the other side didn't seem to eat this set, and whipped it over.
Just when the whip was about to fall on Master Kong Zhi, I thought that Master would explode, but I didn't want to have an extra shadow between the two, I didn't see anyone coming at all, it was the man in the prime of life who had changed from an old man behind the desk, his face was still the same face, but the folds were gone. I didn't expect a bowl of spirit beast soup to have such a big effect, it's really amazing.
The man grabbed the end of the whip and said, "Girl, stop!"
The master smiled again and said to the man, "It seems that the old man is still sensible. ”
The man bowed his head to Kong Zhi with his fists and said, "My granddaughter is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know Mount Tai with her eyes, and her predecessors also invite Haihan." ”
I felt a majestic power from the old man, an irresistible vastness, but I didn't want to bow my head and admit my mistake in front of Master Kong Zhi, who was completely imposing, and called Master a senior.
Speaking of this refining spirit beast soup, many people don't understand, why it is so fast, this reason is very simple, if you eat a bowl of beef, it is difficult to digest, but if it is just a bowl of beef soup, most of it is clear water, and it is normal to refine it in the blink of an eye.
Kong Zhi said: "Your granddaughter is not simple, she will become a big weapon in the future, but this temper needs to be changed slightly, knowing that the lightning marten is mine, and she will fight me, so it is unreasonable how to marry in the future." ”
I almost laughed, Master just likes to ridicule people, since the other party admitted his mistake, Master is not the kind of aggressive person, said: "I'll take a few magic weapons on top, although it is said that spirit beasts are scarce, not a few magic weapons can be replaced, otherwise what else can be done, you can't replace the life of a beast with your life, it's not easy to cultivate, cherish it." ”
The middle-aged man who was supposed to be an old man still said in an old voice: "The predecessors are benevolent and righteous, I, Yan, am ashamed, and I drank that soup in front of you, I really deserve death." ”
When "Cao Xue" saw that his grandfather called himself a senior, he was really too much, so he immediately withdrew his charming color, knelt on the ground with a cold face, and said, "Thank you seniors for sparing my life." ”
Master just said that as long as there are a few magic weapons, no one will be killed, and this is indeed a promise not to kill others.
Of course, the master will not do a loss-making transaction, the lightning marten is worth at least two thousand high-grade spirit stones, which can be exchanged for seven magic weapons, and finally the master asked for ten, of course, the master really rewarded me, the master said: "Apprentice, do you think the sword is the most handsome in the magic weapon?"
I nodded, this is needless to say, fighting the sword world is not only the dream of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, but also the immortal cultivator. As the folk ink writer said:
Chivalrous sword strike,
The reputation is far and wide.
A few people don't dream when they were children,
The surging torrent carves sword marks.
"The sword is the first of a hundred soldiers, mostly because it is flexible and changeable, can be defended and attacked, can be hard or soft, has strong toughness, and is fast to stab, and stabbing is the fastest and most ruthless basic move. However, there is a weapon in this world that is this kind of ring, which specializes in sword, since most immortal cultivators use swords, you can consider using rings, and you will have an extra chance of winning in self-preservation. ”
I didn't say much, but I had something in my heart, and I asked Master: "Master, I never expected that you and a spirit beast would have such a deep relationship, and you would cry so much, I saw you cry for the first time, so wronged." ”
Kong Zhi patted my head and said, "Bastard boy, that's not the case, that spirit beast soup is only effective when you drink it hot, and it will be no different from ordinary soup for the two of us." Do you think I don't want to drink, it's a big tonic, don't you see that the old man is getting younger? I just pretended to be b, pretending to be used to it, and I regret not grabbing the first bite, so I cried. ”
I immediately fell to the ground with my jaw, and after a long time, the master cried for this, he is really a good master who is not profitable and can't afford to be early, the master is very strong, how strong I only feel but I don't know, the old man seems to have practiced very strongly all his life, and he is not even as good as a third grandson in front of the master, what a stinky grandfather, in front of my master is the grandson, I am his father.
"Senior, wait!" an old voice came from behind me.
