Heavenly Dao Formula

finally come!

It's not cheap master's experience and quack tricks, but the systematic teaching of alchemy in this era!

Xia Fan gathered his spirits and raised his ears expectantly—Master Zhang called out Luo Youer's name first, and then inserted his gold medal into a groove on the wall behind him.

With a soft "click", a one-meter-square dark cabinet appeared on the wall.

Everyone couldn't help exclaiming, they didn't expect such a mystery to be hidden in the seemingly empty inner hall.

Xia Fan's eyes were attracted by the items in the dark cabinet.

—It was a beautiful bronze vessel.

It is almost half a meter high, and the bottom is similar to a three-pronged goblet, but the cup is longer and cannot be grasped with one hand. An octagonal roulette is placed horizontally above it, and a small square box is hung on each side. There is a beam in the middle of the roulette connected to the central cup, and a long golden needle is hanging from the top.

Aside from its unclear purpose, it is an exquisite work of art just by looking at its shape: from the corner of the cup to the body of the cup, it is covered with reliefs, and the roulette is hollowed out. Its volume is several times larger than that of the lower half, but a little No top-heavy feeling either. If it is unearthed in later generations, it will definitely be a work of the town hall level.

"This is a spiritual altar, which is used to measure the heart of alchemists. I think it is not the first time some children from aristocratic families have seen it." Mr. Zhang introduced.

Luo You'er looked it over carefully, "There is indeed something called Lingtai in the Luo family's Youzhou mansion, but it doesn't look so beautiful, and only disciples approved by the master are allowed to touch it."

"Heh, little girl, your so-called beauty is worth nothing. The preciousness of the Lingtai lies in the materials used. Casting the base like this is purely a show off. In my opinion, it is unnecessary at all." He opened his mouth. Depreciating the creation that can be called a work of art to nothing, "Come, stretch out your hand to hold the cup, and then guide the air into the cup, just like you usually fill the wooden sword with air."

Luo You'er was stunned for a moment, "But this is something made of gold and iron..."

In terms of affinity for qi, living things are greater than dead things, and dead things are in between, which is why alchemists usually wear wooden swords.

"That's just the outer shell, so the old man said that the quality of the Lingtai depends on the internal materials. Well, stop talking nonsense, let you do it as a snapshot!"

Luo You'er was so frightened that she shrank her neck, and quickly stretched out her hand.

After about a few minutes, Xia Fan saw the golden needle on the top of the altar slowly shaking.

After turning left and right twice, it finally points in the direction of Sunda.

At the same time, a piece of talisman paper floated up in Xunwei's box, and the two approached each other, half suspended in the air, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

"Okay, this is your xinxing. Go down."

Luo You'er returned to her seat with a dazed expression, obviously not quite understanding what happened just now.

"Excuse me Zhang...Master," Xia Fan raised his hand habitually and asked, "What exactly does this character refer to?"

Master Zhang squinted at him, frowning slightly.

The sudden silence made the atmosphere in the room tense.

Wei Wushuang at the side gave him several winks, probably wanting him to apologize quickly.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang changed his normal attitude and said with a big smile, "Hahahaha...very good, this is what studying should be like!"

"Some of you come from aristocratic families, some come from scattered schools, and you know different things. Do I have to ask you every time if you understand this, and if that will work? No matter what the occasion is, just ask questions , this is not the Sixth Department of the imperial court, don't bring in the atmosphere from the outside!"

"Listen well, nature determines whether a person can perceive the existence of qi, and xinxing determines which type of alchemy a person is better at using. The former is innate and cannot be changed; the latter is different from person to person and will be affected by many factors. Together, they make a complete person!"

"For example, that little girl—" Mrs. Zhang pointed at Luo You'er sharply, "she is timid, not confident in herself, and dare not ask questions in public even if she doesn't understand. I think it's only when people When driven, she will take action—even if the action is not what she expects. What is this like, isn't it just like the wind that is elusive and disperses when it encounters resistance?"

Luo Youer was dumbfounded.

Xia Fan was equally astonished, thinking of the scene when Luo Qingqing forced her to smell her body, it was really similar to what the other party said.

"But this wind can also be divided into breeze and hurricane," the woman who called herself Shangguancai interjected, "Since they all belong to the genus Sunda, how can we determine which type the tester belongs to?"

"I knew you would fall into this misunderstanding." Mrs. Zhang raised his beard, as if he had been prepared to say, "Do you think it is a bad thing to have a temper like the wind? Timidity means caution in reverse, and it can be avoided if you are not confident. Arrogant and complacent——Cultivation is both self-cultivation and mind-cultivation. There has never been a perfect mind in this world. Carrying forward your own advantages and overcoming your own shortcomings will always be the most important theme on the way of practice. When you can retract freely , of course it can be destroyed by a hurricane while the wind is blowing!"

Shangguan Cai was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I've been taught."

The teacher in the privy office is still a little level...Xia Fan thought to himself, in terms of organization and eloquence, he was several levels higher than his cheap master.

"Spells are born from the heart, so the nature of your mind determines which type of alchemy you are better at using." The other party continued, "Of course, this does not mean that you cannot use other alchemy, but learning it will get twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is not as good as that of the heart and nature. In addition, even if it is a spell with the same attribute as yourself, different people will have great differences in casting it - it depends on proficiency, understanding ability and personal perception, so you don't need to be greedy, rather than know everything , it’s better to use a certain alchemy technique to the extreme.”

"When you cooperate with other alchemists to eliminate evil spirits, don't forget to introduce your hexagram attributes and the most commonly used alchemy. No one can cover everything. The correct way to deal with it is to cooperate with each other and use each other's strengths. The genius I have seen There are so many of them, and the headstrong ones usually don't live long."

"Then next one, Yue Feng."

The remaining four people took the stage one by one, and the results were: Yue Feng, belonging to Gen.

Shangguan Cai belongs to Li.

Wei Wushuang belongs to Dui.

Wang Renzhi belongs to Kan.

Finally, it was Xia Fan's turn.

Xia Fan walked to the dark cabinet, and held the cup according to the posture of everyone - he could feel the Qi not climbing against the outer wall of the Lingtai, but spreading along the inner skeleton. This bronze vessel may only serve as a fixation function, and the gas guide is still something similar to wood inside.

At the same time, a close observation also allowed him to discover that there were all kinds of strange medicinal materials in the square boxes hanging on the roulette. It was probably the linkage between these materials and Qi that made the golden needles hanging on the roulette so effective. pointing effect. Those reliefs might not be pure decorations, but some kind of seals.

To put it simply, this Lingtai constitutes a simple "art".

A technique that transforms invisible "Qi" into real "force".

After a few breaths, the golden needle landed on the shock, and several flickering arcs even appeared between the needle tip and the square box.
