After finishing things in the morning and resting at noon, there is nothing to talk about. In the afternoon, Jiang Shuo saw the two coming, so he taught the two to prepare the materials.

It turns out that material identification is only the first step of material preparation, sorting is the second step of material preparation, and fire control is the third step of material preparation.

Ye Jingqiu and the others followed and looked around, only to find that the most difficult thing for the two of them was this third step.

Because the temperature of the flame must be controlled here, the characteristics of the material must be combined, and the most important thing is to combine the internal power and true qi with the flame. Ye Jingqiu could also try to combine true qi and flames, but Leng Tian Gu had never cultivated, and he didn't have the true qi of the inner family at all.

Jiang Shuo saw that the situation of the two was different, so he asked Leng Tiangu to go back to the room to cultivate, and Leng Tiangu had no choice but to go.

Ye Jingqiu followed Jiang Shuo to the southwest corner of the workshop hall, where there were five or six people, all of whom were "hugging" a tripod, and there was juice or no juice in the tripod.

Jiang Shuo pointed to Ye Jingqiu and said:

"They're learning how to control fire. See this? This is basically about to succeed. Seeing that, he's just getting started. ”

Jiang Shuo talked for a long time, and finally took out a tripod, three feet high, as thick as a bucket, with three legs and two ears, and handed it to Ye Jingqiu and said, "You can use this to start practicing." ”

Ye Jingqiu took the tripod, learned from the people around him, and began to practice.

In this southwest corner, there are a total of nine practice positions, which are distributed in nine palaces and marked with the number one to the number nine. Ye Jingqiu looked at the people next to him, most of the positions from one to nine were people, and only the three positions of number one, number two, and number five were empty.

Ye Jingqiu "hugged" this tripod and went up to the number five, and a person next to him stopped him and said: "Brother, the number of five is not something that ordinary people can go up, if you believe me, please start by counting one." ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he asked, "Is there anything else to pay attention to here?"

The man said: "Of course, the newcomers are all going to the number one position, if you don't believe it, how do you feel different from the number one position and the number two position?"

Ye Jingqiu said in his heart that since you have already prompted, why should I make a useless attempt? ”

The man said goodbye and went about his business.

Ye Jingqiu "hugged" the tripod, stepped on the number one position, put the three-legged tripod on the tripod, and suddenly the tripod was on fire.

The flame was quite hot, and it was moved by the formation and danced wildly. Ye Jingqiu felt it, although the temperature was high, he could still bear it, but this flame danced wildly, and the way of control had to be experienced by himself.

Ye Jingqiu looked at the people around him and saw that the person who had just spoken and reminded him was manipulating the true qi and flames. I saw the man slap his left palm and his right hand, patting the ground back and forth.

So Ye Jingqiu also learned from the same way, and slapped it with one palm on the left and one palm on the right. After slapping dozens of palms like this, Ye Jingqiu felt that the flames had become slightly more controllable. But to talk about complete control, it's still far from it.

Ye Jingqiu kept clapping his palm, and at the same time, he realized that when he was under the control of his palm, although the flame was controlled by himself to a certain extent, its size, temperature, and situation did not change, and it was not under his control.

Ye Jingqiu thought of his experience of burning in the Santai Workshop, and said secretly: This is definitely not right, what is the difference between this and using bellows to control the wind? If this can control this flame, it is better to make a bellows wind wheel. From this point of view, the trick to manipulating flames lies in the right way to control them with true qi.

Ye Jingqiu moved a little slowly, focusing on the control of true qi, carefully experiencing the operation of true qi, and figuring out the combination and control of true qi and flames.

Thinking about it like this, Ye Jingqiu's hand couldn't help but slow down a little more, and the flames suddenly got out of control, and all of a sudden, they burned to their eyebrows.

At this moment, Ye Jingqiu's heart moved, and he transported the true qi to the palm of his hand, but it did not emit it, but it echoed from afar, and the true qi formed an aura, which immediately covered the flames, covering the flames that were about to burn to his eyebrows.

Ye Jingqiu was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly thought that maybe this was the trick of manipulation? Ye Jingqiu immediately maintained his aura, and once again slowly slapped out with one palm and one palm with the right, this time, he wanted the flame to be whatever it was, and even the size, temperature, and situation of the flame under the ding were completely under control!

After Ye Jingqiu slapped more than ten palms, he felt that the key to manipulation was this, so he walked towards the position where the number two was.

The person next to him who reminded Ye Jingqiu earlier had been shocked by Ye Jingqiu's performance at this time, he looked at Ye Jingqiu, his eyes were shocked, and he sighed in his heart: Who is this person, so demonic?

This person's realm is similar to Ye Jingqiu, but his own true qi is inferior to Ye Jingqiu in terms of quality and quantity, and the perception of the way of control is still "Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains", at this time, seeing that Ye Jingqiu can completely control the fire so completely when he has a meal, he can't help but feel hot in his heart, so he can talk to Ye Jingqiu:

"This brother, dare to ask the honorable surname?"

Ye Jingqiu had just come to the second place at this time, and after listening to the man's question, he said casually: "My name is Ye Jingqiu." ”

Ye Jingqiu said, put down the tripod, and settled into the tripod, and suddenly the flames flared up, which was more powerful than the size, temperature, and situation on the previous number. Ye Jingqiu hurriedly took out his palm, not bothering to talk to that person more.

When the man saw Ye Jingqiu's appearance, he also knew what Ye Jingqiu was doing, so he put down his work and went to Ye Jingqiu's side to see how Ye Jingqiu manipulated it.

I saw that Ye Jingqiu was also slapped left and right like himself, and he was puzzled, but he was not bothered, so he had to observe silently alone.

After a while, Ye Jingqiu realized in his heart, closed the tripod, and walked towards the top three. That person was originally in the number three position, but when he saw that Ye Jingqiu was about to go up, he hurriedly gave up his position, and took the opportunity to ask:

"Brother Ye is so admirable! Ask Brother Ye, what is your experience? You can even pass two levels in a short period of time? Oh, my name is Zuo Liangyu, and I also ask Brother Ye to teach Liangyu one or two!"

After that, this Zuo Liangyu bowed down and gave a salute. At this time, those who were cultivating saw Zuo Liangyu's movements and listened to his words, and they all stopped what they were doing and came forward to listen to Ye Jingqiu's high opinion.

Ye Jingqiu listened to Zuo Liangyu's words, and did not hide his secrets, so he said what he had just thought. Unexpectedly, none of these people had ever seen the bellows wheel, and Ye Jingqiu had no choice but to explain the role of the bellows wheel. He said: "Brother Ye, we can all think of the role of this bellows wind wheel, but we didn't expect to use the true qi aura to control the flames. ”

The big man in the number nine position said, "Brother Ye, my name is Situ Kong, and I am the earliest among several people, and it has been ten months.

A few of us are here, the latest to come, except for you, it is this Zuo Liangyu brother, we have always thought that the control of this flame is based on the true qi palm wind, and we only say that this is a place to practice true qi, and we have never thought about using the true qi aura to control the flames.

Today, with Brother Ye's guidance, it's really like waking up from a dream!"

After that, he gave a sincere salute: "I understand today, and I can pass the fire control level." ”

Ye Jingqiu smiled and said, "You're welcome—brothers, Master Jiang Shuo must have understood how to control the flames, but why didn't he tell us?"

Someone continued: "The master said that when he was working hard, what he realized when he suddenly looked back was the most suitable for himself, and it was also in line with the principle of accumulation, so he never understood to tell, and only spoke out at the critical time." ”

Ye Jingqiu heard this, and said in his heart that it was so.

- But said that everyone, because Situ Kong has been here for the longest time and has the strongest flame control, so everyone originally took this Situ Kong as the leader, and when they saw him saluting Ye Jingqiu at this time, they all bowed their hands and expressed their gratitude.

- Ye Jingqiu said again, you don't have to be polite, and placed the tripod in the number three position, and as soon as the tripod fell to the top position, the flames surged all at once.

Seeing this, Situ Kong reminded: "Brother Ye, the higher the number, the more fierce the corresponding flame, and the higher the requirements for the realm and true qi; ”

Ye Jingqiu said, "Thank you, Brother Situ, for the reminder", and went about his own business.

The others also returned to each of you and began to practice according to what Ye Jingqiu said, but Zuo Liangyu, who was originally in the third place, had been watching Ye Jingqiu's way of control.

Ye Jingqiu was in the number three position, and when he felt that he was able to control it skillfully, he found that Zuo Liangyu was observing from the side, and his tripod was put aside.

Ye Jingqiu also thanked the other party for giving way to himself in his heart, and was about to speak to express his feelings, but he heard the Jingyang bell ringing-

It turned out that the day's training was over, and it was almost time for dinner. Ye Jingqiu also felt weird and tired, so he said "goodbye" to the others, and then went back to the room.

Ye Jingqiu returned to the room and saw that Leng Tian was sitting alone on the futon, but he was not quiet scratching his ears and cheeks. When Ye Jingqiu saw him like this, he smiled and said, "Tiangu, you can't do this, you have to be quiet." ”

Seeing that Ye Jingqiu was back, Leng Tian immediately jumped off the bed and said to Ye Jingqiu:

"Third brother, you're back too! I'm cultivating here alone, I don't know what to do, I thought that in my stomach, that is, in the dantian you told me, there was like a small snake swimming in it. I was shocked, and I didn't feel anything. ”

Ye Jingqiu heard this, and said in surprise: "Tiangu, the feeling of having a little snake swimming is called 'Qi Sense', how long have you been cultivating, you have a sense of Qi, it's gratifying!"

Leng Tiangu listened to it, and couldn't help but say in frustration: "Third brother, I can't find that feeling again!"

Ye Jingqiu said: "Don't be afraid, as long as you insist, that feeling will appear soon." Let's go, let's eat, and I'll teach you when I come back. ”

So Leng Tiangu followed Ye Jingqiu and went to the cafeteria to get the fruit and pill again, but unexpectedly, this time, the person in the window said that the pill can be had, but the fruit is not available every day, and everyone only gets one pill a day.

The two of them received the elixir and returned to the room, Ye Jingqiu took it first, and after practicing for an hour, they let Leng Tian take it alone, and Ye Jingqiu helped him to do his luck.

It was nearly midnight, and Ye Jingqiu used the Daigo empowerment technique to teach Leng Tian Gu to learn the first chapter and the second section of the "Three Yang Gong Jue".

Time passed day by day in such a cycle, and on the tenth day, Leng Tiangu was already able to recite a copy of "Three Yang Gong Jue", and his sense of anger also stabilized.

At this time, Ye Jingqiu himself was already able to train on the number nine in terms of fire control.

Today, Na Jiang Shuo arranged for Ye Jingqiu's exam, and he took the exam himself. The exam is the final step of content control and the first step of purification: melting.

Ye Jingqiu stood in the number five position, and under Jiang Shuo's signal, he placed the tripod in place, and in an instant, flames surged.

If you say that the number one to the number four is the flame, and the number six to the number nine is the rising flame, and the flame of the fifth is the largest flame in the array, but when the flame gushes out, the temperature around it immediately rises.

Ye Jingqiu estimated that the temperature of this flame should be more than 1,500 degrees. But this is not enough, the first item of Ye Jingqiu's assessment, called "promotion control", is to use internal strength and true qi to help the temperature of the flame soar, and it must soar to 3,000 degrees in an instant to pass the test.

The second item is to keep the high temperature constant, called "constant control", which can be used for smelting.

The third item, called "wave control", allows the temperature to fluctuate up and down within a certain range to remove impurities.

The fourth item, called "controlling the shape", is to control the condensation of the molten juice in the ding with the true qi of the inner family. The formed embryo is called a rough embryo, and it can produce a rough embryo, even if it is a complete level of fire control.

Later, I learned that the last item of material preparation was called "carving array", and the rough embryo was engraved into the formation. When the master reaches this point, he will be able to refine the magic weapon.

Like Ye Jingqiu's realm, according to Jiang Shuo, if the level of "Carving Array" is passed, you can only refine crude weapons, such as ordinary weapons, which are called real weapons here. The more advanced ones are called spiritual weapons.

Ye Jingqiu transported his true qi, urging the flames, and the temperature rose rapidly, but after a few breaths, the temperature reached more than three thousand degrees. Jiang Shuo shouted, "Okay!" and then ordered:

"Concentrate and control the temperature!"

As he spoke, Jiang Shuo put the prepared piece of metal made of unknown materials into the ding, and shouted at the same time: "Start melting!"

Ye Jingqiu listened, controlled the temperature, so that the temperature of the flame under the ding stabilized at about 3,200 degrees, and the temperature in the ding was stable at more than 3,100 degrees.

Jiang Shuo shouted "Okay" again, and then said, "Start going to miscellaneous!"

Ye Jingqiu took a deep breath, and at this time he was already sweating on his sideburns. But Ye Jingqiu knew in his heart that the longer the time to remove impurities, the better the quality of the rough embryo.

However, when the flame and temperature fluctuate, the true gas consumed is very large. Usually, when the exam arrives here, the test taker just persists until half a moment. Jiang Shuo had the heart to try Ye Jingqiu's bottom, and it was a full quarter of an hour before he shouted: "Formed!"

Ye Jingqiu's sideburns were full of sweat at this time, and his face was also sweaty. Hearing a sound of "forming", like hearing the sound of immortals, he quickly controlled the true qi, and gradually lowered the temperature of the flame as required, and the juice in the ding gradually solidified, and finally turned into a large knife rough embryo.

Everyone applauded!

Jiang Shuo said: "Not only did it pass perfectly, but it also set a record!"

Jiang Shuo said: "Three years ago, there was a young man with quite qualifications, and when he passed this level, he persevered for nearly a quarter of an hour when he went to the miscellaneous area, and this person's name was Zhong Wuji.

You must know that the level of 'wave control' is the most important, the better the impurity, the better the rough embryo everyone understands, but after the start of the 'wave control', people feel that the consumption is large and fast. Therefore, if you can persist until one-third of the moment, you will be considered to have passed, and if you can persist until half a minute, you will be considered excellent.

The time that Zhong Wuji insisted on was still worse than that of Ye Jingqiu...... Therefore, Ye Jingqiu not only passed the assessment perfectly this time, but also created a record. ”

Jiang Shuo explained to everyone.

Because Ye Jingqiu was taking the exam today, Soleng Tiangu also came to watch, and at this time, he was wiping Ye Jingqiu's sweat on the side, and after hearing this, he gave a thumbs up and said to Ye Jingqiu:

"Third brother, you are so powerful!"

Ye Jingqiu said: "Tiangu, there are still a few days before you start the training of "fire control", I have some experience and feelings, and I will tell you at night that you can practice faster." ”
