Chapter 17 Blending
Half an hour later, Xiao Ling opened his eyes, the light flashed in his eyes, his spirit was at his peak, he looked at the equipment and tonic liquid in front of him, and showed a satisfied smile.
Take out several kinds of medicinal materials picked outside today, and put them into the tonic liquid one after another according to the proportion, and after a while, the color of the tonic liquid changes to dark green, and the smell also becomes strange and abnormal, which is a sign that the tonic liquid has reached the top.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling smiled happily, no matter what Chen Li's purpose was, at least he gave himself a lot of useful information, as long as he didn't have bad intentions for himself, he tried his best to help him recover his physical body.
Xiao Ling carefully recalled what happened today, and after feeling that there were not many problems, Ning calmed his mind and began the next step of cultivation!
It is also said that the way of cultivation is cultivation and refinement, and Xiao Ling only broke through the first level some time ago, this is the result of refining, and today's rest and relaxation instead achieve the purpose of relaxation, unintentionally Xiao Ling actually achieved the way of relaxation, one by one, the cultivation can be smooth, if you patronize the cultivation, it will still be harmful to the body for a long time. However, these current Xiao Ling still don't know the way, but he feels that today's rest actually makes the trace of essence qi he has condensed a lot stronger, but there are so many of the previous days of cultivation!
Xiao Ling felt it carefully, and thought in his heart that it might be that cultivation also needed to be relaxed, and relaxation would help cultivation.
In the hall, a slightly immature figure was sweating like rain doing all kinds of strange movements, and the equipment on the ground was basically sweaty. This figure is Xiao Ling, speaking of which, Xiao's body is much stronger now than before, and now Xiao Ling basically has to cultivate for nearly two hours before his body reaches the limit, far from the appearance of reaching the limit in less than half an hour before.
However, Xiao Ling is no longer cultivating like before, and the time Xiao Ling spends cultivating every day is about four hours, and the rest of the time is soaked in the replenishing liquid. And now, although the cultivation time has been shortened, Xiao Ling feels that the progress is much faster than before.
The reason for this, Xiao Ling also thought about it carefully, one is that the current medicinal effect of the tonic liquid is much higher than before, the second is that a trace of the essence of the essence has been condensed, and he can already absorb the essence of the essence of the liquid to grow, and the third is that the flesh has been tempered by the essence of the essence of the body is much stronger, and the essence of the heaven and earth around him also has a little induction, and when cultivating, there will be the essence of the essence of the qi from time to time into the body, these essence of the essence of the qi after the body is tempered and refined, and is also constantly integrated into the body of the trace of essence of the qi。
And Xiao Ling now spends more time than cultivating every day, comprehending the way of cultivation.
According to the scriptures, the so-called way of cultivation is cultivation followed by cultivation. Cultivation is self-cultivation, mind cultivation, and character cultivation, while cultivation is the refining of the body, spirit, and qi.
These things are easy to say, but they are actually very difficult to do. For example, self-cultivation and mind cultivation, it sounds clear, but it is very difficult to really do it, even that Qingling Ancestor is afraid that these three things are not very good, otherwise, he would not have been angry for a while to come to the Forging Body Hall to find trouble. However, Xiao Ling also knew that it was difficult for that Qingling Ancestor to go further in his cultivation path in the future, because he did not have a tenacious and peaceful mind, even if he was successful on the path of cultivation for a while, it would be difficult to go further, which was also the most important message left by Chen Li to Xiao Ling.
However, it is not so easy to cultivate the body and mind, only through tempering can we achieve a strong mind, these are not things that can be done by passing on the teachings, only after experiencing it, can we become more tenacious above the mind. According to Chen Li, in the fairy world no longer say the mind, but called the state of mind, it is said that the state of mind is also divided into multiple realms, only the state of mind is strong, in the cultivation of mana can go further, and even the state of mind of a powerful person is so strong that it can sense hundreds of millions of miles, and where the state of mind goes, everything exists and dies from the heart, and it can also sense what is about to happen. However, Xiao Ling thought that this matter was still a little incredible, but there was no doubt that the mind or state of mind was extremely important on the path of cultivation. However, Xiao Ling's experience in the land of the falling sun undoubtedly made Xiao Ling's heart extremely tough. Xiao Ling himself felt that his current heart was far stronger than that of Qingling Ancestor, which was also Xiao Ling's most confident thing.
And refining the body, refining the gods and refining the qi is simpler, refining the body is through quenching, so that the body becomes strong, these refining is through the refining of the essence of the qi, you can also use some heavenly treasures to quench, some exercises are specially used to condense the body. Refining the gods refers to the power of the mind, and the powerful power of the mind can often find life between life and death, but the cultivation of the power of the mind has never heard of any exercises, but some elixirs can enhance the power of the mind, but these elixirs are extremely rare, and occasionally some are available, and they are also snatched up by some powerful people. For refining qi, it is better to understand, that is, to make the essence of the essence of the qi in the body stronger, and there is not much shortcut, because only the refining of the essence of the essence of the qi can enter the body, and the refining and condensing of the essence of the essence of the qi is a time-consuming process, as far as Xiao Ling's forging period is concerned, it basically depends on the efforts of each person, the tougher can withstand loneliness to spend time refining the essence of the qi, then it will be faster, otherwise, it will be much slower, of course, the replenishment liquid can also speed up, but after all, it is limited, the key is to depend on personal efforts。 However, it is said that you can choose exercises when you reach the qi gathering period, and some exercises are much faster when condensing the qi of Jing Yuan, these are still a little far away for Xiao Ling, and the most important thing now is to break through the double body of forging as soon as possible, so that the power of Jing Yuan is thicker, and at that time, some low-level spells taught by Uncle Ma can be better controlled.
While constantly cultivating, while feeling what he had gained from cultivation, time passed day by day, and Xiao Ling was also getting stronger day by day, almost every day the essence yuan qi in his body would grow a lot, and the trace of essence yuan qi that was condensed at the beginning vaguely began to transform into a mist mass when it grew. Of course, the most obvious change was the tempering of the flesh by the essence of the essence qi during cultivation, and now Xiao Ling felt that his body was as hard as a rock, and he believed that if he punched out, he would definitely be able to kill a cow.
And there are more and more perceptions of cultivation, and there are many insights that are not mentioned in the scriptures, which makes Xiao Ling himself surprised, and Uncle Ma is also quite appreciative of this, Uncle Ma thinks that Xiao Ling is a rare cultivation wizard, so understanding, his achievements in the future will not be low.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and during this time, Xiao Ling actually broke through to the double, and breaking through the double in more than half a year is rare in the records of Qingyunmen, which makes Uncle Ma even more highly regarded Xiao Ling.
However, in the past half a year, Xiao Ling has gone out to rest a few times, and found a few more precious medicinal materials, and exchanged these medicinal materials with some spiritual energy and Uncle Ma for the blood of the Thousand Spirit Grass and the Black Toad Beast, with these two kinds of movement, Xiao Ling began to prepare for the refining of the body, at this time, the purple fire ant queen was also taken back by Xiao Ling, and the useful spiritual grass and elixir in the Baicao Valley were collected by Xiao Ling, these things are still put by their own side to be safe, there was no place to put them before, and now that there is a Qiankun bracelet, of course, these things must be taken away.
And these few outings are with Mei Jue, the two of them are like a pair of young lovers, but Xiao Ling doesn't care too much about this, although he has a lot of good feelings for Mei Jue, but because he focuses more on cultivation, he doesn't pay too much attention to it, but Mei Jue always has a smile on his face every time he sees Xiao Ling, and when he separates, he is full of sadness, so that Xiao Ling is sometimes a little overwhelmed. After all, Xiao Ling is young and still very immature about emotional matters. However, Mei Jue's cultivation speed is also very fast, and in half a year, he has already begun to prepare for the second weight of the forging body, and it seems that he will be able to complete it in more than a month, which can be said to be enough to rank among the top ten among these beginner disciples.
And during this time, other people will deliberately make friends when they see Xiao Ling, and Yu Xueling often finds opportunities to discuss with Xiao Ling about the experience of forging body cultivation, although Xiao Ling does not refuse, but he does not show that he is very close, this girl always feels a little strange to Xiao Ling. However, in the exchange with Yu Xueling, Xiao Ling also had more insights into his cultivation experience. That Lu Jian was more refreshing, and actually gave Xiao Ling a bottle of elixir, which could be used to promote the breakthrough of the bottleneck of the forging body, and Lu Jian said that he was grateful to Xiao Ling for allowing him to avoid being searched for souls. Xiao Ling didn't care too much, but he saw that Lu Jian was still quite bold, and Xiao Ling felt a little sympathetic to him. The other children are either grateful or admired or jealous or resentful towards Xiao Ling, but they are all very sincere when facing Xiao Ling.
These Xiao Ling are very clear in his heart, people's hearts are not ancient, it is quite difficult to predict, he is harmless to others, but he still has to have the heart of guarding against others.
The materials are complete, Xiao Ling carefully comprehended the method of refining the body passed on by Chen Li, adjusted his mentality, and began to prepare to refine the body, after all, refining the body is the first time for Xiao Ling now, and all aspects must be considered clearly, otherwise the refining fails, it will be a big trouble, and it will be possible to be injured at least or injured at worst.
The first step in refining the body is to prepare the relevant body refining things, and the existing several body refining things are complete, but they need to make some adjustments, but Xiao Ling himself does not have the ability to refine the materials, and these still need the help of the purple fire ant queen.
It's strange to say, since the purple fire ant queen followed Xiao Ling, it seems to have become a lot more docile, and after Xiao Ling's mind was released, the communication was also very smooth, not at all like some demon beasts whose wisdom has not been opened, and at this stage, the purple fire ant queen is only equivalent to a monk in the Dan realm, and has not yet condensed her spiritual wisdom, and Xiao Ling is surprised to be able to reach this step, it seems that the purple fire ant queen has some mutations, and she is not sure how far she will grow in the future, thinking of this, Xiao Ling is happy in his heart, if there is a strong helper on the road of cultivation, the danger in the future will be much smaller, and the chance of survival will be greater。
Xiao Ling took out several materials, summoned the purple fire ant queen, and began to refine the materials with the help of the essence fire of the purple fire ant queen, but the refining of these materials will take a long time, so Xiao Ling specially told Uncle Ma that he needed to prepare for meditation on his cultivation in the past few days, and Uncle Ma agreed to close the entire side hall, so that no one would disturb him.
Xiao Ling took out a few jade bottles, these were given by Uncle Ma, it turned out that some porcelain bottles were used to hold some medicinal liquid, and the storage time was short, with these jade bottles and Qiankun bracelets, the medicinal liquid could be stored for a long time.
Xiao Ling took out dozens of white bamboo leaves, and then gave instructions to the purple fire ant queen, who opened her mouth and spewed out a purple flame to wrap the white bamboo leaves. The temperature of the purple flame was very high, Xiao Ling felt extremely uncomfortable in Zhang Xu Yuan, this was also the result of the purple fire ant queen controlling the temperature and rarely releasing it, Xiao Ling had no doubt that he might turn into ashes in a few breaths when he was in this purple fire.
This purple fire is the essence fire of the purple fire ant queen, and it is generally necessary to reach the qi gathering period before the essence element fire can be condensed, and the essence fire of the purple fire ant queen is obviously quite strong, far from being comparable to ordinary Dan realm monks. Xiao Ling's eyes showed a look of envy, if he could condense the fire of the essence element, then he could refine the pill refiner.
The leaves of the white bamboo are constantly curled in the purple fire, slowly rolling into a ball, with a white mist rising from it, and the leaves slowly become transparent, and over time, become a viscous liquid, this is the essence of the white bamboo leaves, the purple fire ant queen controls this liquid, and slowly roasts it with the purple fire, until there is no more white mist, and puts the liquid mass into a jade bottle.
Xiao Ling took out a few sections of white bamboo, which was secretly left in the purple bamboo forest, and threw them to the purple fire ants, the purple fire ant queen was excited, and ate it in a big gulp, and could see the fire breathing for several hours, and the consumption of the purple fire ant queen was also very large.
Xiao Ling watched the purple fire ant finish eating the white bamboo, and let it rest for more than an hour before taking out the red spirit crystal.
After receiving Xiao Ling's idea, the queen ant spewed out purple fire to wrap the red spirit crystal, and the condensation of the red spirit crystal was much more difficult than the white bamboo leaves.
For a whole hour, the surface of the red spirit crystal showed some signs of melting, and at this rate, it would take at least nearly ten hours to melt this red spirit crystal, and it would take at least nearly twenty hours to complete the quenching. Xiao Ling secretly smacked his tongue, if such a hard thing melts into his body, the strength of his body will reach an incredible level, it seems that Chen Li that old guy really has some good things.
Nine hours later, the red spirit crystal had turned into a fiery red liquid mass, and this was not what Xiao Ling wanted, only turning into powder was what was needed to quench the body. Xiao Ling looked at the purple fire ant and continued refining.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the next day, and the liquid mass in the purple fire had shrunk to a very small mass, but Xiao Ling saw that it had completely turned into powder, and the color of the powder had also changed to golden yellow, and a faint golden light emanated from it.
Xiao Ling took out a jade box, put the powder in it, and let out a long breath, although he didn't refine it himself, but Xiao Ling's spirit was also extremely nervous, after all, it was the first time to do this kind of thing, and it was with the help of the purple fire ant queen, if there was a little mistake in the middle, the thing would be ruined.
Xiao Ling saw that the purple fire ant queen was extremely depressed, and he was a little distressed, so he took out a medicinal herb that was hundreds of years old, took out a few sections of white bamboo, and gave it to the purple fire ant queen in one go. After eating it, the purple fire ant queen lifted her spirits slightly. However, it will take some time to recover.
Xiao Ling let the purple fire ant queen go to a corner of the side hall, and threw out a piece of yuan crystal for the purple fire ant queen to absorb, so as to speed up the recovery of the yuan power.
After arranging the purple fire ants, Xiao Ling took out a jade bowl, put the liquid refined from the white bamboo leaves into the jade bowl a little, took out a piece of Qianling grass, put it in, and watched the green mist rise in the jade bowl, half an hour later, the Qianling grass in the bowl had melted, leaving only a viscous turquoise liquid, Xiao Ling took out the jade box where the red spirit crystal powder was placed, and picked out a little golden powder and put it into the jade bowl. After a few moments, the powder melted into the liquid mass, and the color of the liquid mass changed to purple gold.
Looking at the purple gold liquid mass in the jade bowl, Xiao Ling was overjoyed, he didn't expect to mix the quenching solution for the first time, and looking at the appearance of the color, it was obvious that the grade was still very high.
Next, it's time for physical tempering, which will be a huge test.
