Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

Song Hua called someone to temporarily guard the Shuangque portal. He led Zhou Qing away from here to see Master Nanyue.

The further inside you go, the higher the temperature becomes, and inspiration comes to you, mixed with tiny sparks, fluttering between your eyebrows, giving you a burning sensation.

There is even a faint sound of burning, which is heard everywhere. When people hear it, their whole body is about to be burned, and they feel scared.

Song Hua led the way, and with the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the two people behind him. The guy who called the door just now was already using Xuan Gong. From the top of the door, a wisp of true energy hung down, like a green leaf, and the forest was green and quiet. Protect your whole body from the high temperature outside.

As for Zhou Qing, his big sleeves were swaying and he was calm and composed. He didn't use Zhenqi Xuan Gong, but the hot air hit him as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face.

When Song Hua saw this, his eyes moved to hide the strange color in his eyes.

This leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Luochuan is indeed extraordinary. From this, it can be seen that the other party's Taoism is extraordinary.

Under the great reputation, there is no empty person.

Not long after, a group of three people passed through a gate with three doors and six pillars. The door pillars were shaped like a Chinese watch, and the pillars were engraved with cloud patterns and strange animals. They reflected the jade fire bead on the forehead of the three doors. When they passed the door, they felt like wearing a robe. A layer of bright red gauze, hazy.

Behind the gate, there is a large strip of bluestone that extends all the way to the inner hall.

At the entrance of the palace, there was a Taoist priest holding a fly whisk standing by. Seeing Zhou Qing and others coming, Song Hua waved his hand and said before he could say anything, "There is no need to go in to report. I will take Island Master Zhou from Taihe Island to see the real person inside." "

The Taoist boy knew that Song Hua was favored in front of Master Nanyue, so he did not stop him and just whispered: "Okay, Master is inside."

Master Nanyue is sitting on the high platform above the inner hall. On the jade table in front of him, there is a half-open Taoist scripture. Wisps of smoke are coming out from the pages of the book, like dragons and tigers, entrenching themselves up and down, making him appear to be The majestic long eyebrows on the temples are painted with a layer of red, making them even more majestic and profound.

Seeing Zhou Qing and others come in, Master Nanyue turned his eyes and fell directly on Zhou Qing. There was a heavy pressure pressing down like a mountain.

However, Zhou Qing's expression did not change, he raised his sword eyebrows, saluted upward, and said: "Junior Zhou Qing, I have seen a real person."

Master Nanyue did not speak immediately. He looked Zhou Qing up and down for almost half a quarter of an hour, then suddenly smiled and said: "Zhou Qing, right? He is indeed a good son of our clan. Yes, very good."

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment."

Zhou Qing also had a smile on his face, and his forehead was jade-colored, shining like a full moon, making his temperament more calm and natural.

"Sit down."

Nanyue Zhenren always has a smile on his face. At first glance, he does not look like a majestic real person, but an amiable elder.

Zhou Qing sat down steadily, and Fan Chengda stood behind him. There was a copper pot on the table on one side, earlobes, and wisps of smoke, which was filled with coldness.

After saying a few words, Master Nanyue stepped into the topic and said: "Zhou Qing, are you borrowing the earth fire oven to prepare your own weapons?"

It sounded like a question, but there was an air of certainty in the tone.

"Yes." Regarding this, Zhou Qing had nothing to hide and said, "I am going to refine a natal magic weapon to use in conjunction with Xuan Gong."

"My magic weapon." After hearing Zhou Qing's words, Nanyue, who was sitting on the high platform, was not surprised and nodded secretly.

He sits here and has his own understanding of weapon refining.

Refining weapons is not a simple matter. From selecting materials to blending materials to using fire, etc., there is a lot of knowledge in every link. Even if you are a genius in refining weapons, you may not be able to refine a magic weapon without studying for more than ten years.

For someone like Zhou Qing who didn't have much knowledge in refining weapons, he dared to use the earth-fire oven to refine weapons. He could only refine his own natal magic weapon. After all, natal magic weapons were different from ordinary magic weapons.

On the one hand, the natal magic weapon is usually closely related to the mysterious skills practiced by monks. When it first started to be refined, the natal magic weapon had a strange existence that looked like a magic weapon but not a weapon, and looked like a Taoist magic but not a Taoist magic.

On the other hand, natal magic weapons focus on growth. The natal magic weapons that can be refined in the realm of Qi refining are generally made with simple techniques and only need to be formed. Anyway, in the future, as the realm of cultivation improves, improvements can be made step by step.

It can be said that most of the time, as long as there are enough materials, monks without weapon refining skills can also refine their own magic weapons.

"but,"

Master Nanyue turned his eyes. The key to refining a natal magic weapon was not whether he had the skills to refine the weapon, but his attainments in Xuan Gong.

There is no method for refining the natal magic weapon in general Xuan Gong. The Xuan Gong that can record the natal magic weapon and fit it is the first-class Xuan Gong. In addition, I must practice this mysterious skill to a very deep level before I can refine my natal magic weapon.

People like Zhou Qing who can plan and refine the natal magic weapon in the realm of Qi refining and take action are very few and far between, not to mention the Zhou family in Luochuan, even in the entire Zhenyi sect.

Master Nanyue suppressed these thoughts, looked at Zhou Qing, and asked: "The earth-fire oven has been vacated for you. Three months is enough, right?"

"That's enough."

Zhou Qing nodded vigorously. According to his plan, he would just use the fire in the earth-fire oven to temper the embryo of the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd. If the progress went smoothly, it might not take more than a month.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master."

He seemed to be sincerely thanking him. With a family as big as the Zhou family in Luochuan with a population of hundreds of thousands, the underground fire oven would not be idle. It was rare for the other party to be able to give him three months of use time at once.

"This is your first time in the clan in person. As an elder, I can still make the decision on the use of the earth fire oven for three months, among other things." Master Nanyue glanced at Zhou Qing and spoke directly. : "That's good of you. Don't let Master Zhou Chen do everything for you. You still need to move around by yourself a lot of the time when it comes to clan affairs."

Zhou Qing nodded and said nothing.

Working on your own seems to be a lot of trouble, but in the process of doing things, people come and go, and favors are accumulated bit by bit.

A big family like the Luochuan Zhou family focuses on being worldly and sophisticated. With your own connections and favors, you will be able to do things better in the future.

"Okay." After Master Nanyue said this, he seemed to have no interest in continuing to talk. He waved his hand and said, "Let Song Hua lead you over."

"Island Master Zhou."

Song Hua heard this and came to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stood up and saluted Master Nanyue on the high platform above, and then followed Song Hua out of the hall and outside.

The three of them didn't stop and walked straight back.

"Island Master Zhou, the earth-fire oven will be here soon." Song Hua led the way, walked for a while, stopped and pointed forward.

Zhou Qing looked up and saw streaks of red smoke rising into the sky, dyeing all the clouds in the sky red, spreading out like burning clouds, making them colorful. Then, the fist-sized spark fell from a high place and rubbed against the atmosphere, forming a magnificent tail wing that flew straight down.

After passing the top of the mountain, look in the direction where the sparks fell.

In front of it is a huge flame basin. The fire veins in the earth are arranged according to a strange pattern. Where they gather, a furnace of different sizes is built. Counting, there are nearly hundreds of stoves.

Song Hua knew this very well, and spoke as he walked: "Island Master Zhou, there are one hundred and eight fire veins in the fire furnace here. If all of them are used, the fire in the furnace will be so fierce that it can even refine the highest-grade mysterious weapons. "

"The best mysterious weapon?" Zhou Qing turned his eyes and asked, "I wonder which one it is?"

The highest-grade mysterious weapon has a lot of wisdom. Once the opportunity comes, the spirit of the weapon may transform into a human being and become a real weapon in one fell swoop.

In this world, magic weapons such as real weapons are extraordinary, with extremely high lower and upper limits. Some real weapons are about as powerful as those of Nascent Soul cultivators, but the top real weapons are not even looked upon by the Cave Realm and can compete with the Immortal Realm.

"The refining of the highest-grade mysterious weapons is very demanding, and it requires more than just furnace fire." Song Hua continued, talking nonstop: "To refine the highest-grade mysterious weapons, furnace fire, materials, techniques, Luck must be on the line to have a chance. This earth-fire oven can meet the needs of refining the highest-grade mysterious weapon. If it cannot produce the highest-grade mysterious weapon, it will have too many consequences."

"But I have seen with my own eyes that mysterious weapons have come out of this earth-fire oven."

As for what mysterious weapon it was and who refined it, he didn't say.

Zhou Qing didn't ask any questions about this.

After all, magic weapons at the level of Mysterious Weapons are no small secrets for every monk. It's very bad to snoop around casually.

When they got down there, they actually came to the edge of the underground fire furnace. Even though the seal on the fire veins inside had not been opened, the temperature was already not low. Song Hua pointed with his hand and said: "Island Master Zhou, the furnace inside is empty. , how many do you choose?”

Zhou Qing glanced away and looked at Lin Li's furnaces. He wanted to temper the rough embryo of the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd. The most important thing was that the firepower must be sufficient. It must be at the level of the Earth Fire Oven. The energy in the monk's own body Real fire can’t keep up.

As for the rest, the requirements are not high.

So Zhou Qing said: "I only need one. The most important thing is to have enough firepower."

"One." Song Hua listened, nodded, and said without saying anything: "Master Nanyue notified a master of weaponry who is guarding here. He should be here soon."

"He knows much better than me about the earth-fire oven and the refining of weapons. You can wait until he comes and Island Master Zhou will talk to him."

"Okay." A strange color flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes. Master Nanyue had even arranged this. It seemed that his attitude towards her was better than imagined.

In a short time, an old man rushed over. He was tall and tall, with a face like iron, and a pair of smoky eyes glowing red. As he walked, the power of Dansha on the top door fell, making a rumbling sound. .

Song Hua waited for the other party to arrive and introduced him to Zhou Qing, saying: "This is Master Li Douli, the leading weapon refining master in our earth-fire furnace. His men have successfully refined first-class magic weapons that exceed the level of mystical weapons. "

"Master Li." Zhou Qing waited for Song Hua to finish his introduction, and said in a polite tone when dealing with the other party: "It's my first time refining weapons, and it's also my first time coming into contact with the earth-fire oven. Please worry about it."

"Island Master Zhou is very polite." Zhou Qing was polite, and Li Dou was even more polite, saying: "Since the master has given the order, and it is Island Master Zhou's business, I will do my best."

Whether he is in the Zhenyi Sect or the Zhou family in Luochuan, being a master of weapon refinement may sound nice, but his status is really average. At the very least, the gap between him and Zhou Qing is still quite big. Unless you can reach the level of a master of weapon refining, your status in the power will be relatively transcendent.

But it is so difficult to be promoted to Qi Refining Master. Anyway, at Li Dou's age, there is no hope in this life.

"Island Master Zhou, Master Li, let's talk." Seeing that the matter was done, Song Hua turned around and left. After all, it was about Zhou Qing's magic weapon, and knowing too much was not a good thing.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with Song Hua's self-knowledge. He asked Fan Dacheng, who came with him, to see Song Hua off. He stayed where he was, looked at Li Dou and said, "Master Li, let me tell you about my natal magic weapon." Son, please tell me which stove works best."

"Master Nanyue gave me three months. I don't have to worry. I can take my time and only seek the best."

"Three months."

Li Dou clenched the hands in his sleeves. He had been in the area of ​​the Earth Fire Furnace for a long time, and he understood that this kind of time was almost the treatment of the Yuanying Master in the sect.

Moreover, Zhou Qing was only refining his natal magic weapon, so his treatment was even more exaggerated.

Thinking of this, Li Dou's expression became serious. He thought carefully about the earth-fire refinement of the sea-swallowing gourd, and then chose a stove.

"Island Master Zhou." Li Dou saw Zhou Qing looking up and down at the medium-sized stove in front of him, and explained: "This stove has not been used in the past ten years. The fire veins below are both powerful and mild, which is most suitable for Zhou. Island Master, refine your natal magic weapon."

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is," Li Dou said, seeing that Zhou Qing was listening very attentively, seriously, and in a happy mood. After all, he was now instructing the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family in Luochuan, "When quenching, you must Sacrificing treasure with essence and blood.”

"Essence and Blood Sacrifice Treasure."

Zhou Qing nodded. He had no practical ability in refining weapons, but he still knew some of the methods of refining weapons. Sacrifice of blood essence and treasure was not just about spraying a mouthful of blood essence. It not only requires the quality of the essence and blood, but more importantly, it requires grasping the timing of the treasure sacrifice.

Next, Li Dou talked about the secret of refining the natal magic weapon again, and then when Zhou Qing was ready, he took a step forward, took out a small flag from his sleeve, and made a gesture.

After making some gestures, the power of the elixir in Li Dou's body was turned into the flag, and with a strong wave, he opened the seal on the fire vein under the stove in front of him.

As soon as the seal was removed, there was only a "bang" sound, and the fire suddenly appeared, as if a snake-like red thread suddenly lit up. The raging flame burned and settled on the stove, and the astonishing temperature began to rise.

"Island Master Zhou." Li Dou slowly controlled the fire veins with the flag weapon in his hand and said, "I'll clean the stove first. When the stove is hot, you can use it."

"OK."

Zhou Qing waited for a while, and after about half an hour, he took a deep breath, took out the gourd and put it inside.
