Losing one and losing both
"Ma'am, could you please give me a hand?"
In front of the small courtyard, Zhao Huo'er was riding a flamingo floating in the air. Looking at He Lian who stretched out a hand and looked like a lazy rogue, he sighed quietly in his heart.
With no other choice, the bird flew low, held He Lian's hand tightly and pulled it up the bird's back.
"Thank you ma'am."
He Lian smiled brightly, stood side by side with Zhao Huo'er, and put one hand around Zhao Huo'er's waist very naturally.
He Lian is a person who combines knowledge and action. He said that day that he would develop into a relationship model of an old husband and wife in the future, and naturally progressed very quickly.
Zhao Huo'er didn't take it seriously at all, or it had become a habit. Since they came back from the Spirit Opening Conference, the two of them spent half the time together. He Lian practiced and she guarded, and He Lian helped her when making spiritual materials. It can be said that they quickly became friends.
A tacit understanding was formed.
Nowadays, the two of them are in and out of the sect as a pair, and their relationship is almost open. Not only are these two people used to it, but everyone in the sect is gradually getting used to it.
"What's the point of your visit to Qidao Zhenyi Dharma Assembly this time? Don't you call yourself the founder of Yeluzi's weapon refining? Is it possible that you want to compete with the Fire Refining Sect?"
"Madam, you are joking. I am not qualified to compete with the Fire Refining Sect. I am just here to study and learn from other people's ideas. I haven't done much refining in the past year, and I feel that my cultivation in the refining department has deteriorated a bit."
What He Lian said was half true and half false. He had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi training more than a month ago. He was just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi training. But just when he was about to go all out, he felt blessed in his heart and felt this
Generally, if you break through directly, you won't encounter bottlenecks or anything, but you will only miss one or two opportunities.
This feeling can be described as mysterious and mysterious, and it is difficult to explain it to outsiders, but He Lian must pay attention to it.
"Study? I think those weapon refiners are so stale that they almost take what Li Xingtian said as an iron law of heaven. What's there to learn?"
After getting along for a long time, Zhao Huoer also discovered that He Lian often hid half of what he said, or even at least half of it. Therefore, she did not believe that Ye Luzi, the founder of the weapon refinement, would go to the Qi Dao Zhenyi Dharma Assembly with a learning attitude.
"Don't worry, madam. My cultivation level is still low now, and my soaking method and dividing and combining method are both deviant. If I take them out rashly, I will be criticized by the group, so I am not here to show off.
I just want to learn it, and also want to see if I can find a way or two so that we can cooperate in the refining of magic weapons in the future."
The cooperation with Shi Manman over the years has given He Lian a certain net worth, but he is not Wu Junming, and earning spiritual stones is still for the purpose of refining weapons.
He Lian also knew in his heart that with the size of Jubao Pavilion, it was possible to occasionally help him get some business of customizing magic weapons, but it was impossible to fully cooperate in the refining of magic weapons. Therefore, He Lian had to work on the magic weapon
To make a breakthrough, you still need to find a suitable partner.
"I see, it's not difficult at all."
Zhao Huoer thought he had told the truth about He Lian, so he couldn't help but smile with joy, his expression pure and natural.
He Lian turned around and looked, and saw that she was like a green lotus, with a refreshing fragrance in her laughter, and the fiery red cloak formed another layer of contrast, making the fragrance even more fragrant.
He Lian couldn't help but stretched his head and sniffed Zhao Huo'er's neck.
Zhao Huoer's cheeks suddenly turned red and he patted He Lian.
"I'm going to die! It's still outside."
"The lady smells so fragrant, why don't you let your husband smell it? You need to know that you can recognize a woman only by smelling her fragrance."
The two were fighting and making noise all the way, and not long after, the flamingos flew over Lingyue Peak.
This Qi Dao Zhenyi Dharma Assembly is far less lively than the Dharma King Alchemy Dharma King, because this Dharma assembly has always had three sessions, each session can be as short as half a month or as long as one or two months, and the first part of 'Talk about Mysteries' is
The various weapon refiners exchanged their experiences and came up with all kinds of wild ideas, inspiring each other. This kind of link is naturally of little interest to outsiders.
"To say that the most superior weapon refining technique today is the 'Hundred Rolling Point Star' created by Sect Master Li, which uses spiritual thoughts to gather the true fire, and uses the true fire book to restrain the spirit. Once the true fire rolls, it is
One great ban, a hundred rolls, is a hundred great bans, such a method has never been seen before or since."
As soon as he entered the Dharma Assembly, He Lian heard someone working hard to advocate for Li Xingtian, the leader of the Huolian Sect. With his skill in weapon refining, he could understand.
The so-called "Great Ban" is a compound ban similar to a compound Dao pattern. Several or even more than ten bans are formed into a group, which is somewhat similar to the division and combination method.
Speaking of which, this compound restriction was not first invented by the weapon refiner, but by the spirit builder.
Thinking of this, He Lian couldn't help but look at Zhao Huo'er and said: "This 'Great Forbidden' created by your spirit builders is a bargain for Li Xingtian, but this person is unique in the art of weapon refining and has blazed his own path.
.”
"It can't be said to be cheap, this 'Great Forbidden' itself borrows from the composite Tao pattern of the talisman.
The art of cultivating immortals is essentially about me being among you, and you being among me."
Zhao Huoer's statement is quite objective.
He Lian stopped teasing him and listened carefully to the person in the center of the venue explaining the 'Hundred Roll Pointing Star' technique.
If you want to become the authority of the Qi Dao Shinichi Dharma Association, you must not be too self-conscious. Although the major weapon refiners will not tell you all about their unique skills, the general idea and the details will naturally be explained clearly.
People who are not good enough will naturally be confused, but in the eyes of true masters and experts, once they have ideas, there is no secret. After all, the art of weapon refining has been developed for countless thousands of years, and various theories are complete.
, as long as it is within the framework of orthodox weapon refining, it is just a dojo in a snail shell, nothing more.
For more than ten days, He Lian and Zhao Huo'er came here every day. He pretended to be a student, and he really learned a lot.
But He Lian also discovered that, as Zhao Huo'er said, the weapon refiners attending the meeting were very stereotyped and were completely constrained by the orthodox weapon refinement framework and did not dare to go beyond it. The so-called inspiration suddenly appeared, and another basic idea came up.
It's just old wine in new bottles. There are no truly subversive, groundbreaking theories or even ideas.
This Qi Dao Zhenyi Dharma Conference started on the eighth day of March. Twenty days have passed, and we are about to enter April. The 'Talking about Mysteries' part of this Dharma Conference has finally come to an end.
On this day, He Lian and Zhao Huo'er arrived at Lingyue Peak early. Compared to before, Lingyue Peak was full of lights and bustling today, and the number of people there was several times greater than before.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, how are you doing after being separated for so many years?"
Zhao Huoer took He Lian to find a middle-aged monk with a big belly. This man was the deacon of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce among the six major chambers of commerce in northern Chu.
"It's fine of course. Our Baiyi Sect may not be satisfactory in the eyes of outsiders, but the atmosphere in the sect is still the same as before. Fellow Daoist Zhang should know that."
The two exchanged polite greetings, and Zhao Huoer introduced He Lian to the deacon of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce named Zhang Tuo.
Zhao Huo'er introduced He Lian's basic situation. When he heard that He Lian was already a second-level weapon refiner, Zhang Tuo was a little surprised and couldn't help but said: "He Xiaoyou is really young and promising. He is a master of the fifth level of Qi training."
To be promoted to a second-level weapon refiner is something that would be unthinkable to the outside world.
I wonder if my little friend has any favorite works? Can you taste some of them?"
He Lian immediately took out the ‘Tongyuan Boots’ that had been removed from the storage bag and handed them over.
"Mid-grade magic weapon."
Zhang Tuo was even more surprised when he got the Tongyuan boots, but he was relieved after a moment.
In the minds of monks, the barrier for Qi-training monks, especially low-level monks, to become second-level weapon refiners lies in their spiritual consciousness. Under the concept of "one Qi can reach the gods", it is difficult for Qi-training monks' spiritual consciousness to meet the requirements of the law.
Weapon refining, especially the refining requirements for high-grade magic weapons.
However, although the Tongyuan Boots are a mid-grade magic weapon, they are essentially a combined magic weapon. The two shoes can be refined separately, which reduces the requirement for spiritual consciousness by half.
In this way, coupled with the many methods in Baiyi Sect to improve spiritual consciousness and reduce the consumption of spiritual consciousness, Zhang Tuo would not be too surprised that He Lian could refine these Tongyuan Boots with his fifth level of Qi training.
This is also the reason why He Lian used the 'Tongyuan Boots' to throw stones to ask for directions. He Lian still used the word 'stability' as the first word, and 'covered' the entry with the Tongyuan Boots, causing it to fall back to the middle-grade magic weapon.
Even if he exports high-quality or even top-quality magical weapons in the future, before establishing the foundation, he will only produce combined magic weapons like "Mother, Mother and Scattered Stars".
In the process of refining weapons, He Lian would not stand out too much to avoid prying eyes from people with ulterior motives.
However, it’s not enough if you don’t show any ability. Otherwise, the refining of the magic weapon will be stuck in the door and rolled up, and there will be no future at all.
After some tasting, Zhang Tuo handed the Tongyuan boots back to He Lian and said: "The 'discussing the mystery' part of this Qi Dao Zhenyi Dharma Assembly has ended, and today we will enter the demonstration phase, and there will be some small details.
The tasting will be held, and little friend He may be able to participate.”
The Qi Dao Shinichi Dharma Assembly is held once every four years, and almost every time it is held, it is divided into three parts: "Talk about Mysteries", "Empirical Demonstration", and "Transaction".
The so-called "evidence" is to take out the actual objects, discuss their respective ideas for refining the weapons, and let fellow practitioners and peripheral merchants evaluate them.
As for the 'transaction' link, in addition to the small-scale transactions where everyone gets what they need, the highlight is the ordering from major merchants, which can determine whether the major weapon-refining sects will be humble or popular in the next four years.
He Lian was quite satisfied that Zhang Tuo could help introduce the channels. However, after Zhang Tuo glanced at Zhao Huo'er beside him, he changed the subject and said, "However, He Xiaoyou still needs to be mentally prepared."
"Oh? Please give me some advice, Senior Zhang."
"Although it is a small-scale tasting meeting, most of the people who are involved in the tasting are the weapon refiners from the Fire Refining Sect. I would like to come to you and understand this. If Little You He is scorned by words, I hope you don't take it too seriously."
Zhang Tuo has been walking outside all year round and has a clear mind. He Lian was introduced to him by Zhao Huoer and other foundation-building Dzogchen monks, and the two of them seemed to be quite close. They probably had a lot of background. Coupled with his young age, he could
He would find a different way to become a second-level weapon refiner, but he would be very ambitious. He would not want He Lian to be frustrated at the tasting meeting, thus turning a good relationship into bad consequences, so he had to explain something in advance.
Zhao Huo'er on the side sighed and said: "The master's sect is in decline, and those in the weapon refining path have destroyed their foundation. How can we not be looked down upon?"
Seeing that both of them were reminding him, He Lian was mentally prepared. He was not a quick-tempered person, so he was not afraid of sarcastic remarks.
While the three of them were talking, the people from the Huolian Sect finally arrived, and He Lian saw Li Xingtian in a fiery red robe descending from the sky and sitting on the main seat of the Dharma assembly. The 'experiencing' session was about to begin.
