Chapter 246: Understanding the Different Appearances of Stars and Treasure Refining
In front of Xianyue Tower.
Fragments of skylight fall from the clouds, rubbing against the spotless water surface. Among the flowing gold and jade, there are clusters of pearls and emeralds, and beautiful things are piled up.
A maid with big eyes and a bun with a jeweled ring stood on a graceful lotus leaf, stepping on her feet and looking into the distance.
At this moment, I heard a sonorous sound, like a golden fire hitting a pillar, and a large arc of light appeared in front of my eyes. It was brilliant white and reflected people's eyebrows. It carried a sharp aura that made people feel sad. A chill ran through my body.
Immediately afterwards, the arc of light in the sky shrank, like long and narrow wings unfolding, and a handsome young man came out with his crown on his head. His eyes were deep, and a Gengjin aura slowly fell from the top of the door and was gradually dissipating.
The visitor was naturally Zhou Qing. He glanced at the little maid, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Senior Sister Qin is in there?"
"Yes." The little maid had big eyes. Blinking, he said: "Zhou Shangzhen, please follow me."
Zhou Qing followed him up the stairs. As soon as he got upstairs, he saw Qin Yun had already stood up and came towards him, his skirt swaying. In the meantime, the rings jingled, and the refreshing fragrance filled the air, like smoke and clouds.
Zhou Qing bowed and said, "Senior Sister Qin."
"Junior Brother Zhou."
Qin Yun also greeted him with a smile. After their contact, they became more familiar with each other and their names changed.
After the two of them sat down, Qin Yun held up a piece of green silk hanging down with his hand. The jade leaf tied to it was glowing, swaying, and organizing his words, he said: "What you are talking about is the earth's fire. I have already made arrangements for the furnace. There will definitely be news in at least three days, and in ten days at most."
"I'll trouble you, Senior Sister Qin."
Zhou Qing said thank you. The other party entered Taoism much earlier than she did. After getting acquainted with her, it was natural for her to call her senior sister.
"It's easy, junior brother, you don't have to be polite."
Above Qin Yunding's door, when the clouds came out, the stars were as big as a bucket, and the bright light was like a newly polished mirror, reflecting her green eyes, with a smile.
In fact, in order to help Zhou Qing coordinate an underground fire furnace earlier, she almost went all out and put in a lot of effort. She was by no means such an understatement.
She did this based on her master's advice and her own judgment, which was to make good friends with Zhou Qing and solidify the favor for the future.
With such an opening, the atmosphere in the building was great.
The daylight outside happened to be getting darker. After accumulating, it hit the hollow pattern on the glass window, and the remaining color hit the smooth mirror-like ground, like mottled golden dancing beads.
In a trance, there is a lively and comfortable feeling as if the skylight dances into the building.
While the situation was harmonious, Qin Yun calmed down and said in a curious tone: "Junior brother Zhou, I heard that you cleared Zhu Zhenren's Xingluo Tuo in less than an hour."
"Zhenren Zhu has always been very strict with his subordinates and has very high demands on his disciples. It is amazing that the Xingluotuo he arranged can be solved in one go."
Xingluotuo is a unique sect of the Yuanchen sect. A magical power that assists cultivation, but its difficulty varies from monk to monk.
Zhu Zhenren of Yuping Mountain is willing to integrate more of his own star principles into it, so the difficulty of this magical power is higher than others.
Of course, once you clear the level, you will gain more insights into Zhu Zhenren’s way of the stars.
Zhou Qing had his own explanation for this. He smiled and said: "It was a fluke that I was able to pass Zhu Zhenren's Xingluo Tuo. If it had been a while, I might not have been able to pass. . ”
Similar to playing in a maze, luck is very important when crossing the star. If you are always lucky, you can always find the right path from various forks in the road, and you can indeed get through it all the way.
However, Zhou Qing also knew that just saying this was too perfunctory and the other party would not believe it. After a pause, he continued to speak and said: "Besides, I am not a big fan of the way of stars. I don’t know anything at all, but I do know something. And the most important thing is that I have my own methods when it comes to the soul.”
Although these words have the meaning of criticizing the Spring and Autumn Period, they are also true.
As for the Way of the Stars, on the one hand, the "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture" and "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book" he practiced are the first-class Xuan Gong in Xuanmen, and they have the meaning of being in a commanding position. At high places, you will naturally draw parallels. On the other hand, in his previous life, he was an official in the court, accumulating official energy, accumulating luck, distinguishing yin and yang, and was inseparable from the theory of astrology, which was involved in this.
As for the soul, he does have more means.
Whether it is the strength of the soul itself, the two innate spirits, or the rare treasure that creates the blue pool, it is far beyond the reach of other monks.
Unlocking Zhu Zhenren’s Xingluo Tuo, he mainly relied on the characteristics of his soul, worked hard and gained nothing.
"That's it."
Qin Yun nodded, glanced at Zhou Qing, and sensed the other person's spiritual consciousness surrounding him. With just a touch, a golden circle would swing open, above the outer slope. , densely covered with fine golden light, crackling, and having its own vision.
This was almost the first time she had seen such intensity of consciousness in the Qi Refining Realm. However, the divine soul only has this strength, and without continuity, it cannot crack Xingluo Tuo.
Qin Yun did not ask again, skipped the topic, and discussed the way of stars with Zhou Qing.
“The way of the stars.”
Zhou Qing understood at a glance that the other party intended to help him. After all, what he had learned from Zhu Zhenren's Xingluo Tuo was fragmented and not systematic.
Now that a true disciple of the Yuanchen Sect like Qin Yun can give guidance and sort things out, it is really a dream.
So Zhou Qing cheered up and communicated with him.
This time, the harvest is not small.
As time goes by, Zhou Qing's understanding of the way of stars becomes deeper and deeper. Stardust once again floated above the door above his head. The wind gathered, and the gods looked back with a charm of their own.
Qin Yun's blue eyes were also filled with precious colors, and an undetectable joy appeared on his jade face.
She found that she still underestimated the true disciple of the Zhenyi Sect opposite him. After clearing Zhu Zhenren’s Star Luo Tuo, the opponent gained so much profound knowledge of the Stars that Beyond your imagination.
And some of the other party’s star insights about Zhenren Zhu also inspired me and gave me something to gain.
I originally thought that this kind of exchange was just about helping each other unilaterally. Unexpectedly, there were still gains.
Qin Yun originally wanted to stop there, but after that, he became interested and began to exchange experiences with Zhou Qing about finding medicine and condensing pills.
Two people, you say something and I say something, we can talk freely. One is a true disciple of the Yuanchen Sect. He has the guidance of a great monk. He has a solid foundation and a far-sighted vision. His attainments on the path of stars are very rare. One is a true disciple of the Zhenyi Sect. He practices two top mystical arts, the interplay of metal and water, and has experience in the previous two lives, so he has a broad vision.
The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they got out of hand.
At the beginning, it was limited to the theory of collecting herbs and condensing elixirs. Later, it expanded to practice, and then extended to my own views on everything, Taoism, Qi, soul cultivation, and formations. , prohibition, alchemy and so on.
From day to night, and from night to day, the two kept talking, full of energy, and not tired at all.
After talking with each other, Zhou Qing discovered that the Yuanchen sect, a superior sect, had a terrifying understanding of the way of the stars. The various deduction techniques and prediction methods derived from the stars were astonishing.
Many times, the Yuanchen sect can predict the enemy beforehand and kill people invisibly. At random, the transformation of misfortune and fortune induced by the magnetic field of heaven and earth can be seen.
The two of them went back and forth, and faintly, a substantial golden glow appeared between the two, clustered like flowers, blooming continuously, showing something extraordinary.
On this day, it was dawn again. The skylight came in from the glass window, and on the ground, it was like golden lines swaying and dancing. Zhou Qing and Qin Yun stopped at the same time, raised their heads, and watched The sky is bright.
After dawn, the skylight became brighter and brighter, and soon filled the entire building. There was light everywhere, golden and extremely dazzling.
"Nine days passed in a blink of an eye."
Zhou Qing squinted and shook the robes on his body, as if shaking off a layer of dirt that had fallen on his body. Above his eyebrows, gold condensed like a star bead. Sparkling.
“I have benefited a lot.”
Qin Yun sat still and looked up at the sun outside. A ray of sunlight was taken into her blue eyes, and the gold and green were dizzy. Large and small ripples are derived, and inside, there are the colors of stars, constantly swaying.
She looked at Zhou Qing again with a different expression. Although the other person's level of cultivation was not as good as hers, his many insights on the Tao were thought-provoking and should not be underestimated.
As long as the other party can successfully condense the elixir, he will definitely be a powerful figure who can attack the top ten disciples of Zhenyi Sect in the future.
At this moment, there was a soft sound outside, and then the frosty white color became brighter, like a bright moon emerging in the daytime. Finally, in a blink of an eye, it entered the Xianyue Tower and arrived in front of Qin Yun. , turned into a flying letter.
Seeing this, Qin Yun had some expectations. When he opened it, he found out that it was the earth-fire oven that she had been looking for.
"Junior brother Zhou." Qin Yun looked at Zhou Qing and said, "The underground fire oven has been vacated. I will take you there."
"Good things keep coming. " Zhou Qing looked happy after hearing this. He laughed loudly and stood up, with a sense of vitality all over his body.
"Let's go."
Qin Yun stood up and told the maid outside to prepare the chariot. Then he and Zhou Qing left Xieyue Tower and headed for the back mountain of Yuping Mountain.
Crossing the mountains and following the waves out of the gorge, after traveling seven or eight hundred miles, we arrived at Huolong Ridge. Standing below, you can see that the flames are coming from the east, and the smoke is billowing underneath, reflecting the red glow all around. Even from a distance, you can feel the heat inside.
"Junior Brother Zhou." Qin Yun called Zhou Qing to come down, and the two of them walked up the mountain road winding down from top to bottom.
Waiting halfway up the mountain, suddenly, the world in front of me seemed to be spinning, and the world had changed. It seemed that I had arrived at the eternal starry sky, which was extremely vast.
"Restricted Array."
Zhou Qing was not surprised when he saw this. Instead, he took advantage of the space and sensed the power of the stars on the pavement based on the way of stars he had learned on Yuping Mountain.
As if sensing the alien energy outside, waves of water ripples appeared on the star map, and then turned into a huge eye pupil, and a voice came from inside, saying: "Which fellow disciple is here? "What's the point of this?"
Qin Yun took half a step forward, the talisman on his body shone brightly, and a bright star energy burst out, he swung up and replied: "The true disciple Qin Yun wants to borrow the land. Use the fire to bake the furnace."
After the words fell, the giant eyes flashed and disappeared immediately, and then the stars in the sky disappeared one by one, and the mountain road reappeared in front of him.
The two continued to move forward. After crossing the mountain road, a flying palace appeared in front of them, leaping high and looking down in all directions.
On the steps of Feigong, there is a middle-aged Taoist standing. He has a fair face and three strands of black beard. At his feet lies a strange beast that looks like a cat but not a cat, like a raccoon but not a raccoon, crumpled into a ball. , was sleeping soundly, snoring like thunder, causing rustling sounds everywhere.
Seeing Qin Yun coming over, the middle-aged man chuckled, walked down the steps, and took the initiative to say hello, saying: "Junior Sister Qin."
Although the two of them entered the profession at almost the same time, and their current level of cultivation It's almost the same, but he only holds a position in Huolong Ridge. From now on, he can only be an ordinary elder at most. And the other party is not only a true disciple, but also has the support of a great monk like Zhenren Zhang, so his future is limitless.
The status of the two in Yuping Mountain is quite different, how could he not be enthusiastic?
"Deacon Ruan." Qin Yun faced the other party, with a reserved smile on his beautiful face, which was very different from when he faced Zhou Qing, and said: "I will trouble you about this matter."
"Yes, let's go."
Deacon Ruan smiled and led Qin Yun and Zhou Qing past the Dao Palace and walked a while further to the ground fire oven.
Arrived here, Zhou Qing froze, looked around, and saw streaks of red light rising into the sky, dyeing the clouds in the sky into a bright color, as if they were burning at any time. Correspondingly, on the ground, there is a flame ravine covering a huge area. The fire veins in the ground are arranged according to a strange pattern. Where they gather, a furnace of different sizes is built.
Zhou Qing saw in his eyes that compared with the ground fire oven he had used in Luochuan Zhou's, the ground fire oven in front of him was not inferior.
When he arrived here, Deacon Ruan showed that his efforts in Huolong Ridge were not in vain. He introduced the Earth Fire Oven here in very brief but very clear words, and finally said: "I'm not boasting, this Earth Fire Oven There are not only enough fire veins in it, but also strong firepower, which is enough to refine the top mysterious weapon."
"Xuanqing?" After hearing this, Zhou Qing smiled softly and said, "Then. It’s not available, I’m just refining a small magic weapon myself, I can’t use such a large formation.”
Deacon Ruan glanced at Zhou Qing, he only knew that this time it was one of Qin Yun’s. The friend borrowed the ground fire oven, but he was in Huolong Ridge and had no information. Even though Zhou Qing had attracted some people's attention in Yuping Mountain, he did not know Zhou Qing's identity. He just said: "I don't know what the specific requirements are for refining treasures." ?”
“It’s very simple...”
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he followed the other party’s request and entered a fire house in the underground fire oven.
According to the records in the "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture", after Zhou Qing activated the fire veins, he integrated the top feathered spiritual sky and the sea-swallowing sky-swallowing gourd for tempering.
Half a month later, suddenly, in the fire house where he was, there was a loud sound, and strange sounds spread out and hung above the house.
