Chapter 54: Three Fires and Seven Phases
Lu Zheng's heart refining method uses seven emotions to refine the cold spirit, the so-called seven emotions are of course not the so-called seven emotions of mortals, but actually the three fires and seven phases. The so-called three fires, one is the fire in the body, the second is the fire in the heart, and the third is the fire of the sky, the fire in the body originates in the body, the fire in the heart is its righteous thought, and the fire of the sky is the god of fire from the fire spirit tree. The three fires gather together and derive from the seven feelings, so it should actually be said to be the fire of the seven feelings. This fire has the power of dyeing, so it will stir Lan Yao, who is engrossed in watching the changes in the cold spirit, produce the changes of the seven emotions, but she is not the body of the seven feelings, and she is not affected by some of these changes.
Of course, ordinary cultivators can also cultivate the three fires, but it is not possible for the three fires to evolve into the seven phases. In Taoist practice, when the three fires appear, it is often practiced to practice meditation to nourish the three fires and nourish them without using them, which is called the method of containing light and consolidating the benefits. The same is true in Buddhism, although there is no name for the three fires, but the power of meditation is the same. This point shows the difference between the dragon trick and other practices, the three fires are derived into seven phases, and they are used without dispersion, without bias and seclusion, and without gain or loss.
This piece of cold spirit was originally obtained by chance in the stream when Lu Zheng was practicing the way of sensing physical properties taught by the master of the man in white. There are treasures in heaven and earth, scattered between heaven and earth, and there is the wonder of creation in the wilderness, and cultivators get it by chance. This piece of cold spirit is a very remarkable treasure of heaven and earth, with refined physical properties, which can be used as a material for refining artifacts. At that time, the master of the man in white said that if Lu Zheng had learned the secret of the mountain, he could refine it into a weapon, which was very suitable for refining the mountain sect weapon.
The refining of the seven emotions is only the first step, which completes the process of condensing and stimulating the physical properties. The cold spirit has changed from a square and uneven state to a round piece that can be placed in the palm of the hand, not thin or thick, crystal moist, and there seems to be a seven-colored light cave from time to time, which looks exquisite and abnormal. For refining, of course, this is not yet complete, but the physical properties of the cold spirit itself have been completely awakened and stimulated, but Lu Zheng has not yet given it a real wonderful use, and the next part of the way of refining is the most important, which is to endow the magic weapon with real spirituality and subtle changes. It's not just about the refiner's own understanding of the materials being refined. It is also the cultivation of the divine mind to reach a certain level. It is also enough to endow the magic refiner with all kinds of mysteries in his own mana.
In addition to the physical properties of the magic weapon itself, the more important thing is how the refiner refines it, and the process is also a process of coordination between people and things. It is impossible for the magic of the Dharma to be separated from the physical nature, but how can its physical properties be integrated with the spiritual mana of the practitioner. Carries the changes given by the mana of the gods. Among them is the question of heat and experience. This situation is a bit like a master training a disciple in the cultivation world. It is an innate qualification for the disciples themselves to practice which method they are suitable for, but what is the problem? The success has a lot to do with the master's guidance and enlightenment.
When Lu was refining this piece of cold spirit, in addition to Lan Yao and the other Jianmu spirits who did not dare to approach lightly in the distance, there was also the man in white who was in the jade pendant. Compared to Lan Yao's surprise, the man in white is not far behind, and he may be even more admirable than Lan Yao.
Lan Yao's surprise was the difference in the changes in the entire refining process, and the admiration of the man in white came from the subtle control of the Seven Emotions Fire in Lu Zheng's refining process, and the fire was no less than any great master of refining, but I am afraid that it is the Elder of the Earth Sect who will come straight to refine this piece of cold spirit, and I am afraid that the awakening and stimulation of physical properties in the early stage can only reach this Cheng Dù.
The man in white knows the difficulties very well, and he must know that Lu Zheng is refining for the first time, and the surrounding environment is so chaotic, the refining master refining tool is to retreat to eliminate a nuisance, how can he be like Lu Zheng, directly between heaven and earth, under the gaze of so many building wood spirits around, he does not avoid the three lights, if other refining masters see it, they will simply scold, which master who doesn't understand anything teaches such a stunned apprentice. Of course, the man in white is not unaware of this qiē, but the method of heart refining that he preached is very different from the method of refining weapons in the cultivation world, and it is precisely this environment that he wants.
According to the master in white, Lu Zheng should use the mana of the mountain to condense the physical properties of the cold spirit into a kind of mountain qi, so that it can not only help Lu Zheng cultivate the mountain trick and condense the form, but also this cold spirit will become a very handy magic weapon used to perform various spells of the mountain sect.
The most important thing for disciples in the mountain sect is to travel between heaven and earth after cultivating the Dao body, looking for a famous mountain suitable for themselves, condensing mountain qi as the basis for the next practice, and achieving a natal magic weapon for themselves. This piece of cold spirit is very suitable for condensing into such a magic weapon. But to the surprise of the man in white, Lu Zheng did not continue to do this, but collected mana to terminate the process of continuing to refine the weapon, making this piece of cold spirit a semi-instrument, that is, a semi-finished product without a finisher.
Although Lan Yao was angry with this cultivator Lu Zhiyi, he still couldn't help but keep looking at him refining, seeing that he suddenly stopped, the cold spirit he said in his mouth stayed in his palm, and he couldn't help blurting out: "What? It's already done, it's become something!"
Lu Zheng handed his hand to Lan Yao and said, "Do you want to see it?"
Lan Yao couldn't help but lean forward, then reacted, immediately took two steps back, and said, "I don't want it, what's so good about this." Having said that, his eyes kept glancing at Lu Zhi's palm.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "This is for Lan Qian, don't you take a look?"
When Lan Yao heard this, she was pleasantly surprised: "Is it for Lan Qian? Really! Hey, Lan Qian's things are mine, of course I want to see my things!"
Lu Zheng closed his hand, Lan Yao grabbed the air, was immediately stunned, and said angrily: "Hey, what do you want to do with you bad cultivator, come to trick me again?"
Lu Zheng said with a smile: "I said it was for Lan Qian, but it's strange, isn't your name Lan Yao? ”
When Lan Yao heard this, he said without thinking: "Lan Qian's things are Lan Yao's, and I am ...... with him I don't care, you can't control this, it's my affair with Lan Qian, anyway, his stuff is mine. Speaking of this, his face turned red, and he couldn't say any more.
Lu Zheng naturally understood what she was going to say, and when he saw her embarrassment, he didn't tease her too much, so he said: "So that's the case, Lan Qian's things are Lan Yao's, this is what you said, I heard you right! I want to make sure, is everything yours?"
Lan Yao raised her head and said with arrogance: "Of course, you didn't hear a word wrong." It's that everything is mine, even his people, his bow and arrows, and his qiē are mine. ”
Lu Zheng lowered his head and made a contemplative expression: "In this way, it won't be easy to do." Lan Qian has already worshiped me as a master, since Lan Qian's is all yours, then wouldn't I have become your master too?"
Lu Zheng looked at Lan Yao, flicked his palm, and said: "Now it seems that if you call me Master, you can take away the cold spirit, if you don't want to, it means that Lan Qian's is not yours, you don't seem to have anything to do with Lan Qian, then this cold spirit can't be handed over to you!"
Lu Zheng thought that Lan Yao would lose his temper at himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, he heard Lan Yao shout happily: "Master!" grabbed the cold spirit from his palm, held it in his hand, and played with it repeatedly, shouting while playing: "Wow, this stone is so cold, Master, you said it is a magic weapon, so what is the use of it?" Ah, Master, why don't you speak? Hey!"
Lu Zheng was a little dumbfounded at this time, he didn't expect Lan Yao to call out like this without thinking. Lan Yao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng came back to his senses, saw a wisp of cunning in Lan Yao's eyes, and immediately understood that he was the one who fell for her. He just said that Lan Qian wanted to apprentice, that was when he saw Lan Qian's thoughts, but Lan Qian himself had never shown it to him face-to-face, he just said this just now just to tease Lan Yao, but in fact, he never had the intention of accepting apprentices in his heart.
Why did Lan Yao shout so fast, obviously Lan Yao had already known Lan Qian's thoughts, and it happened that Lu Zhiyi also took the initiative to bring up this topic, of course, he agreed without hesitation. Although she kept saying that she hated Lu Zhiyi, but to put it bluntly, she was just willful and naughty, now that Lu Zhiyi saved the entire Jianmu Spirit Clan, and also saved Lan Qian, she has a very good impression of him in her heart, plus she loves Lan Qian in her heart, so she naturally wants to help him complete the apprenticeship, where is she willing to let go of such a good opportunity.
Lu Zheng understood in a flash, and couldn't help but have a little headache, although he now knew that the cultivation of the realm could completely open a sect and accept disciples, but first, he felt that he did not have such ability and mind, and secondly, Lan Qian was the essence of Jianmu, and like a demon, he was not in the realm of liberation, and he was only afraid of incomparably difficult points out, he asked himself if he might not be able to do it, but he was about to leave, where could he stay. Now Lan Yao is calling one master after another, it seems that he is going to rely on himself, but he let Lu Zhengleng for a moment.
However, now Lan Qian has not woken up, Patriarch Lan Mu and other Jianmu Spirits are still treating Brother Chiling, Lu Zheng has already asked for the consent of the master in white, he can wait here for another ten days, if they don't come out by then, then they have to leave first. In addition to waiting to see that Chi Ling is safe, Lu Zheng is also trying to protect the Jianmu clan. According to Lan Qian's situation, I am afraid that it will take a few days to gradually recover, and now that the Jianmu Barrier of the Jianmu Forest has been broken, the Jianmu Essence is extremely vulnerable to attacks by other living beings. Ordinary beasts are okay, and the most feared are the monsters that become demons, especially those who have escaped.
It's just a joke with Lan Yao, and you don't have to take it too seriously, Lu Zheng thought, at this time, he has become more calm than before, and immediately made up his mind, and said: "This piece of cold spirit is given to Lan Qian, it has the purpose of condensing vitality, and it is extremely helpful to Lan Qian's recovery, you go and hang this piece of cold spirit on his chest now, and Lan Qian can recover in advance!"
"Really, Master, you're so good!" Lan Yao heard this, and hurriedly ran to Lan Qian's side in surprise to put the cold spirit on Lan Qian's chest, and then hurriedly ran over and asked, "Master, when will Lan Qian recover?" (To be continued......)
