Infinite true path

From the day Huan Yin made a bet with Lan Tongtian, he got up early every day and practiced hard every day. Among the twelve hours a day, he only spent one hour sleeping, and the rest of the time was spent studying the art of sword-making.

Huan Yin would look for a large number of classics to read every day, because Duan Yun said that materials are the foundation of sword making. If you can't even recognize the materials, then there is no need to talk about sword making. Fortunately, Huan Yin is now the leader of the new generation of Wuliang Sect. He wants to read the sect's classics without any hindrance, which makes his study much smoother.

However, the more Huan Yin saw, the more difficult he found in making swords. Because there are always materials he has never seen before in every classic, and there are always effects that make him feel novel. Even if there are two materials with the same effect, there will be subtle differences between them. If this difference is not remembered, it is likely to lead to the final failure of the sword.

Huan Yin felt like he was back to the days when he was a child studying. He would read many books every day, and new discoveries and more questions would arise every day. Although such days are hard, Huan Yin also enjoys them. Because he has loved reading since he was a child, he was deeply influenced by his father and full of desire for knowledge.

This day was also an ordinary day. Huan Yin locked himself in the room and kept looking at the books on the table. At this moment, his originally empty room was filled with various classics. If someone who didn't know him came to his room, they would think that he had gone crazy reading. Because now, except for the bed and table, almost all other places in his room are occupied by books. I don't know if he has moved less than half of the classics from Wuliang Sect into his bedroom.

"Squeak!" This voice became extremely obvious in the quiet and lifeless room. Huan Yin turned around to look, only to find that there was no one at the open door.

"Senior brother, are you still reading?" Xiaotian's voice came from the door. It seemed that the books at the door were piled too high, blocking his young body.

Huan Yin smiled, walked to the door, picked up Xiaotian from the ground and said, "What's wrong, Xiaotian, no one plays with you?" It's afternoon now, and it's also the time for everyone in Jiangge to rest. In the past, here During that time, except for Huan Yin and Li Xianyue who were still practicing, everyone would be doing something else. As for Xiaotian, he will definitely seize the time to have fun at this time, after all, he is still a child.

"Well, Senior Sister Li doesn't play with me. Senior Brother Gao has been like that all day, and I feel bored. Senior Brother, what are you reading?" It seems that Xiaotian feels that Gao Shan is the only one to accompany him all day, too boring.

"Senior brother is reading a book about sword-making materials. Come on, senior brother, let me show it to you." Huan Yin picked up the "Jiuzhou Chronicle" he was reading and brought it to Xiaotian.

"Senior brother, you work really hard." Xiaotian was a little helpless. He originally wanted to find Huan Yin to play with him, but he didn't expect that a book would be stuffed into him when he entered the door. However, he still picked up the book and flipped through it hastily.

"Eh? Why is this material called 'Black Snake Slough' written with unknown effects?" Xiaotian suddenly pointed to a material in the book and was surprised.

Huan Yin touched his head: "The immortal master who wrote this "Jiuzhou Chronicle" himself didn't know what the function of 'Black Snake Slough' was, so he just recorded it without adding any annotations."

Xiaotian looked at Huan Yin with a confused look on his face: "Is it easy to imagine the efficacy of this thing?"

Huan Yin looked at Xiao Tian in surprise: "Xiao Tian, ​​what do you think is the use of this 'Black Snake Slough'?"

Xiaotian looked innocent: "I have read in other books that the black snake is a spiritual species of Jizhou in the north. This kind of snake can only appear in the river desert of Jizhou. Although Jizhou is a cold place, the river The desert area is quite different. Instead, it is a desert with unbearable heat, so the black snakes living there are all fire. Since snakes are all fire, and the black snake sheds its skin, it should naturally belong to fire. ”

Huan Yin was shocked. He knew the characteristics of the black snake mentioned by Xiaotian and had seen them before. However, he had never thought of starting with the snake to analyze the materials. In other words, he never thought about analyzing the material. Before, he just memorized the material. Whatever the book said, he felt it was what it was. But now, he clearly felt that everything Xiaotian said made sense.

"Xiaotian, are there any more?" Huan Yin was somewhat looking forward to whether his junior brother, who was extremely talented in the art of sword-making, could say something else.

Xiaotian nodded: "Well, since this 'Xuan Snake Slough' is the skin shed by the Xuan Snake, it is also a kind of skin on the Xuan Snake's body. I saw a book saying that although the Xuan Snake's skin is soft, it can It can be stretched at will, but it is very powerful and difficult to destroy. Moreover, the higher the Black Snake's cultivation level, the tougher its skin is. Therefore, using the 'Black Snake Slough' to cast a soft sword can exactly meet the needs of soft swords with soft exterior and strong strength. . At the same time, if you can know what kind of cultivation the Black Snake sheds, you can better determine how strong it is, and it will be easier to use. "

"As for what kind of cultivation the Black Snake is, it has actually been recorded in the book. The characteristics of the Black Snake skin shed by different cultivation levels are different. So in fact, as long as you see the characteristics of the Black Snake shed clearly, you can directly determine the Black Snake skin in your hand. What kind of mysterious snake is shedding?" Huan Yin took over Xiaotian's words with a look of surprise.

"Yes, senior brother!" Xiaotian still looked so innocent, thinking that what he said was taken for granted.

However, Xiaotian had no idea how much shock he had brought to Huan Yin now. Huan Yin had always memorized the properties of various materials before, because he felt that these materials were the accumulation of previous discoveries, and they were all knowledge that could be understood if he had memorized it, but he could not understand it if he had not memorized it or seen it. But after Xiaotian's analysis just now, Huan Yin had to applaud, because he didn't even know the function of the black snake slough in the book, but Xiaotian analyzed it very clearly.

Xiaotian didn't know what 'Xuan Snake Slough' was, but he understood Xuan Snake, the environment in which Xuan Snake grew and its own characteristics, so he analyzed the characteristics of Xuan Snake's slough by analogy, and even how to use it. It also makes sense.

Huan Yin knew that what Xiaotian said was right. Whether it was the characteristics of the black snake slough or the method of using it, Xiaotian was right. He suddenly felt that perhaps the material could be learned not only through memorization, but also through analysis.

Analyzing various relevant properties of materials, and then using this to figure out what the materials are used for and how to use them may sound a bit illusory, but it is actually feasible. Moreover, the clearer the relevant characteristics of the material are understood, the clearer the grasp of the material will be.

Huan Yin has read many classics these days, but some of these classics tell about the climate distribution in various parts of Kyushu, and some tell about the changing environment in various parts of Kyushu. Although Huan Yin thought that these things had nothing to do with sword making before, he still browsed through these contents. But now it seems that the content recorded in the classics is as useful as the content specifically talking about sword-making materials, because Huan Yin can analyze it. As long as he knows enough seemingly complex knowledge, he can derive the properties of many materials that he has never seen before.

Huan Yin felt that Xiaotian had inadvertently opened a new door for him in identifying materials. Through this door, he can make use of all the miscellaneous knowledge that he thought was useless in the past, allowing him to take his knowledge to a higher level!

"Xiaotian, thank you!" Huan Yin picked up Xiaotian again, grinning from ear to ear with joy.

From that day on, Huan Yin's way of learning changed. He no longer relies on a single memory, but will think while watching. During this learning process, he even found that some of the annotations were inconsistent with his own analysis. This meant that the annotations in the book were probably wrong. If he continued to study as before, then he would The thing that arrives may actually miss him.

In addition to knowledge of materials, Huan Yin repeatedly pondered the sword-making chapter of "Wu Liang Sword" when it came to sword making, and practiced with Duan Yun every day.

Due to studying the "Infinite Soul Sutra", Huan Yin's understanding of the sword-making chapter of "Infinite Sword" is also different from ordinary people. He can often find the corresponding answer in the "Infinite Soul Sutra" for things that others cannot understand. This made it easier for him to learn "Infinite Sword".

Huan Yin didn't know what the sword-making method in "Wu Liang Sword" was like, because he didn't have any comparison object. However, he believes that the sword-making techniques in "Infinite Sword" are not comparable to other sword-making techniques. He believes that what he is learning now is far more profound than the sword-making techniques in Yijian Peak. It is only what he knows. It is far from enough.

Day after day, although Huan Yin always experienced repeated failures when learning to make swords from Duan Yun, he never lost heart. All Huan Yin can think about is to keep working hard and learn from the experience of failure.

Duan Yun also works hard every day. As a mortal, he only rests for less than three hours a day. He spends almost all of the rest of his time teaching Huan Yin how to make swords. His training methods were extremely harsh, often making Huan Yin stay by the sword furnace for more than ten hours. Sometimes Huan Yin even stayed up for several days just to forge a sword.

The efforts of the two masters and apprentices had obvious results. From the beginning, Huan Yin was unable to forge swords by himself, but it only took less than half a year for him to successfully forge the first fairy sword. Although this sword is very inferior, even the monks in the early stage of Qi Condensation may be a little disdainful, but it is also a real fairy sword.

As spring passed and autumn came, Huan Yin's days continued to flow through the sea of ​​various classics, among the countless words of "Infinite Sword", and beside the sword furnace on the platform of the sword pavilion.

This year, Huan Yin read through most of the classics in Wuliang Sect, read through the sword-making chapter of "Wu Liang Sword", and forged three swords.
