I would like to express my special thanks here to several book friends for their rewards! Just mentioning one or two of them alone might chill the hearts of others, that’s it!
A broad mountain range occupies the vast land. Different from ordinary mountain ranges, this mountain range contains rich stone mines and is rich in fine gold. Most people cannot survive at all, but it is a blessed place for gold monks.
However, in the center of the mountain range, there is a concave valley. The bottom of the valley exudes a strong hot atmosphere, which restrains the golden energy. It can be seen that there are many large holes on the stone walls of the valley, where fire monks practice. Outside the valley, people wearing the same armor-patterned clothing
The monks were active, some were carrying gold, silver, copper and iron, some were smelting and purifying, and some were hammering and forging tools in the furnace.
This is the Melting Flame Valley. The Ancient Artifact Immortal Sect, one of the famous Ten Immortal Sects in ancient Yuanzhou, is based on refining weapons. Whether it is physical training, Qi training, or magical power training, it is integrated into the life of refining weapons.
At this moment, Xue Chen and Gu Qi were drinking and chatting in a courtyard.
It turned out that Xue Chen first went to the Seventh Ring Circle, but unfortunately the harvest was mediocre, and then he came to Ancient Yuanzhou, found the mountain gate of the Ancient Artifact Immortal Sect, and fulfilled his promise to the Ancient Artifact Immortal two years ago to visit him.
After chatting casually for a while, the Ancient Artifact Immortal said with emotion: "Fellow Daoist Xue, I haven't seen you for two years, and it's amazing to see that your aura has become a lot stronger. It takes us ordinary immortals at least a hundred years to become even more sophisticated!"
"Haha! I just discussed with a few immortal friends on the way, and I occasionally gained some enlightenment!" Xue Chen waved his hands modestly, and then asked: "Fellow Ancient Artifact Daoist, is your third senior brother, the Bing Yan Immortal, free recently?"
Because Tianxian had been in seclusion for a long time to practice Buddhism, Xue Chen did not mean to disturb him rashly, but asked about the ancient artifact first. The intention behind his words was that he wanted to exchange insights on yin and yang with him.
The Ancient Artifact Immortal rolled his eyes strangely, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xue, you are really lucky. Our Ten Immortals Sect will have a competition among the true disciples in two months. At that time, our brothers and sisters will gather together to discuss Taoism.
!”
"oh!"
Xue Chen's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he said: "What the ancient Taoist friend means is..."
"That's right! Come with me. You are skilled in all five elements and all things, and you have extensive knowledge in refining materials. I believe the other nine brothers can also talk to you!" The Ancient Artifact Immortal replied affirmatively.
"Two months?"
The style!”
In the following two months, in addition to his normal practice, Xue Chen was taken away by the Ancient Artifact Immortal at other times to go to various refining factories of the Ancient Artifact Sect to ask him for knowledge on materials. Xue Chen also learned many refining techniques.
, the ancient tempering and contemporary Qi refining are combined to ensure quality and are sold to various nearby states and islands. Even the Yanyang Immortal Sect cannot compete with it for business. After all, the Yanyang Sect is far away and it is unsafe to transport goods.
What made Xue Chen envious the most was that the heat in the valley was not caused by fire spiritual veins, but by a molten flame spring, which was also rare in underground magma. To some extent, it was comparable to a incomplete fairy vein.
The Ancient Artifact Immortal also looked proud when he said this, but more of he admired his master: "This spring was given to me by the master. Each of our ten brothers had a gift when he became an immortal, and his
The cabin is full of treasures, the lowest of which are fairy treasures, and I don’t know where the master got them!"
Two months passed in the discussion. The younger generation of the Ancient Artifact Sect selected dozens of people, and then followed the Ancient Artifact and some elders to the venue of this competition - Haoran Academy.
Xue Chen had heard it before, including when he met Huo Lian, but he didn't understand it clearly until this time from the ancient artifact.
Haoran Academy was founded by Haoran Confucian Immortal, who ranked fourth among the Ten Immortals. It has been teaching and educating people for 30,000 years. It has produced countless great Confucian scholars and sages who hold important positions in various courts and principalities of the Nine-ring Star, praying for the people, and upholding the righteousness of the world.
Haoran, a Confucian Immortal who is the master of all Confucianism, has infinite merits and virtues. He is already at the peak of his Immortal Soul. With the blessing of merits and virtues, the law of life and death in heaven and earth will slow down the deprivation of his lifespan, and his immortal life will be long.
When he came to the place where the rising sun rose in the east of Ancient Yuanzhou, Xue Chen sensed that here everyone recited the words of sages, there was abundant righteousness between heaven and earth, it was difficult for ferocious monsters to derive wisdom, and ordinary beasts did not hurt people. The laws of heaven and earth
They are all infected by righteousness and affect their souls. It can be seen that the streets are open at night and the houses are not picked up on the road. This is an ideal country for all people to live.
Haoran Academy was built on the highest mountain in the east of ancient Yuanzhou, which is called Donghao Mountain. The mountain walls are carved out and towers stand. The academy is surrounded by a 100,000-step staircase extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Students from all over the world want to enter the academy to study.
You have to walk up 100,000 steps. The higher the steps, the more exquisite the Confucian spirit pattern of will. The higher the college, the more exquisite Confucianism and the Confucian scholars who teach cleverly.
If ordinary monks walk by, there will be no reaction, but Confucian monks will be tortured by Confucian concepts every time they step up a step to strengthen their Confucian will. When they reach the top of the hundred thousand steps, where the Confucian masters are,
There is only one person in ten thousand years - Mo Cang Shuxian.
It is said that after Mo Cang, the scholar immortal, stepped forward, he became an immortal in one step and stained the sky with ink. He then chatted with the Confucian Immortal Haoran all night, and then left Gu Yuanzhou the next day and went to the other side of the Nine Ring Star to occupy a small state and establish the Mo Cang Sect.
, and build a large number of colleges to promote Confucian concepts.
As for the secret, he didn't know it until the ancient artifact told him: "My third senior brother learned a secret technique from his master, and then made a great wish to the Nine Rings Heaven and Earth to open Confucian academies all over the Nine Rings Star.
With the help of heaven and earth, he can easily cross the peak level of the Immortal Soul, condense the true Confucianism and Dharma, and become the second person after his senior brother to enter the realm of immortality. Now his students continue to promote Confucianism in the Nine Rings, and it is estimated that it will take less than five thousand years.
Goal achieved!”
After listening to a lot, Xue Chen analyzed and felt that the source of everything was the Ancient Yuan Immortal, who seemed to be omnipotent, even having this rare secret method to break through the six realms.
brush!
The Immortal Boat of the Ancient Artifact Sect descended from the sky and landed on the square next to the seven thousand steps. Thousands of monks have gathered here, a large part of them are students in white robes and green coats, that is, students of Haoran Academy.
Exudes righteousness.
When they saw the Ancient Artifact Immortal, all the monks bowed down and said, "I've met the Fifth Master's uncle!"
Because the Ten Immortal Sects are connected by the same spirit, they are equivalent to one sect, and the Ten Immortals are the ten masters. The monks of each sect also call each other senior brothers. There are few disputes. There are Confucianism cultivators in the middle to mediate, and there are rarely any grudges.
"Yeah!" The ancient weapon looked majestic at this moment. He stretched out his hand and lifted everyone up with gentle force. Then he smiled at Xue Chen and said: "Disciples and disciples have no choice but to do this. Fellow Taoist, follow me!"
Then, with everyone's surprised expressions, Xue Chen followed the ancient artifact up the steps to the top of the mountain. As for the passing disciples of the ancient artifact sect, they had their own arrangements, and everyone was waiting for the competition.
As Xue Chen walked on the steps, Wuxiang Shenxin was suddenly shocked. He evolved into a Confucian figure and imitated those Confucian texts. When he looked carefully, he saw a series of sages and splendid words, exuding profound Confucian will and philosophy.
His Confucianism was perfected at an extremely fast speed, and he realized the mystery of these articles, and his righteousness grew strong from the pure land of his soul.
All of this happened within his body, and the Ancient Artifact Immortal did not notice it.
After walking three thousand steps, they arrived at the top of the mountain. There was no magnificent palace here, just a simple thatched house, with nine people chatting and laughing at a stone table.
When the two came up, the nine people also turned to look. One of them, an old man in green clothes with a tripod pattern, shouted to the ancient artifact: "Fifth Senior Brother, I'm just waiting for you. This time, you're too late!"
"Sixth Junior Brother! I'm at the end of the west, so I'm naturally late. There's nothing I can do about it!" Gu Qi chuckled. When he walked in, he pointed at Xue Chen and boasted: "Let me introduce to you, this is the person who has become famous in recent years.
Xue Chen from Tianbao Immortal City, the refining master, is now the number one genius in casual cultivation!"
"Fellow Taoists, you are polite!" Xue Chen smiled and saluted with both hands.
The sixth junior brother of Guqi suddenly joked: "It turns out to be Grandmaster Xue. I also heard about your deeds from the disciples who came back from Tianbao City. You refined all the materials and took away the business of refining medicinal materials from my Gudan Pavilion!"
This made Xue Chen feel a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly.
"Slow down! I haven't told Xue Chen about you yet!" Gu Qi forgot about this because he and Xue Chen had been selflessly discussing weapon refining for two months, and then hurriedly pointed to the Nine Immortals and introduced to Xue Chen: "Nine
The brothers are respectively the eldest brother Tian Suanzi, the second brother Zong Heng Jian, the third brother Bing Yan, and the fourth brother Haoran. Starting from the beginning, they all start with the word "古", and the last word is "qi", "dan", "formation", "zhi", "puppet" and "embroidery".
, the six of us achieved enlightenment with these six characters, and the master gave us this title!"
After Gu Qi mentioned himself, he quickly pointed to someone with each word he said. It only took three breaths to complete the introduction, but Xue Chen remembered it all.
The boss, Tiansuanzi, is an old man with a white beard and a kind face. He wears a Tai Chi Bagua Taoist robe and a wooden hairpin to tie his hair. He is dressed like a Quanzhen Taoist priest, but he has a mysterious aura that blends with heaven and earth; the second one is
A cold-faced middle-aged man, carrying a Qing Feng on his back, nothing could be seen anymore, the edge has been restrained; Bing Yan was wearing a corset with engraved water and fire yin and yang symbols, and there were red and white yin and yang marks on his forehead, red fire belongs to yang, white water belongs to yin
, smiled calmly; the fourth ranked Confucian Immortal Haoran is also an old man, with a white beard longer than Tian Suanzi, a typical Confucian monk in Tsing Yi and a long gown, and also wears a white hat with a built-in jade crown to tie his hair, his Yintang is bright, and his face is bright.
Peaceful.
The sixth Ancient Alchemy Immortal is similar to ancient artifacts. He wears a robe with alchemy and cauldron patterns and has a ruddy complexion. Because he often uses flames to refine weapons, his body is rich in fire mysteries. The seventh Ancient Array is a middle-aged man with deep eyes and a clear understanding of the world.
The mysteries of the law are always flashing with runes; the eighth is Gu Zhi, an old man with a black beard, a light green complexion, and his body exudes the fragrance of wood. When he smells it, he feels comfortable in his body and soul; the ninth Gu Zhi is a dull young man,
His body was stiff and his face was dull. Only his eyes occasionally flashed with spiritual light. Xue Chen probably practiced some kind of magical power and secret method, which caused his consciousness to shrink too much, and he had less contact and communication with the physical body.
The tenth ranked one is a female immortal, with no powder on her skin, wearing a light yellow dress. Except for a red hairpin to tie her hair, she has no other accessories. Her eyes are clear, her expression is gentle, and she is as quiet and quiet as Xiaojiabiyu.
