I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 32: The Dao is subtle, and the magical power is small

Chapter 32: The Dao is subtle, and the magical power is small

Jinding Temple; Ji Yuan sat alone on the cushion, concentrating his mind, sorting out and studying the steps of refining the [Wind Bag] for the last time.

"Master, the furnace you want is ready." Zhang Fu's cautious voice came from outside the hall.

Ji Yuan stood up and walked out of the hall.

In the open space in front of the hall, several sturdy men brought a seven or eight foot tall, brand new, round-bellied, three-legged copper furnace and placed it in front of the hall.

"Very good, Zhang Fu, tell someone to bring firewood to light the fire and burn the stove thoroughly first." Ji Yuan observed it and was very satisfied.

This time of refining treasure will be different from the previous refining of centipede bee bag.

This time, Ji Yuan planned to use the fire refining method he had figured out.

First, use the furnace fire to refine the fur of the exotic animals thoroughly, and at the same time add many rare and precious spiritual materials to ensure that the fur of the exotic animals will not be burned to ashes in the process.

Then he used magic power as a pen and spiritual liquid as material to engrave nine wind bag talismans, and used gold thread as thread to weave an embroidered bag to collect the divine winds from all directions.

"Master Ji, we have found all the materials you requested." The rough voice of Zhang Qiong, the head of the Zhang family, came from outside the temple.

As he spoke, Zhang Qiong led a few sturdy monks, carrying trays filled with brocade boxes, jade bottles, and jade cups.

"Thirty real pearls; a roll of magic silk; ten taels of magic silver; a jar of red sun sand, a cup of rootless water; ten pounds of precious jade..." A trace of pain flashed in Zhang Qiong's eyes.

The collection methods in this world are crude, and items such as pearls and jade are extremely precious, and their value is no exaggeration; especially spiritual silk and secret silver are rare magical materials. Even if the Zhang, Zhao, and Li families are great families that have practiced Taoism for generations, it would be a big pain to plunder them a few times.

"Put it here, Fellow Daoist Zhang, you can go out now." Ji Yuan counted them one by one and started to send people away.

"Master Ji, this method of burning a furnace and refining with fire is the first time I've seen it. Can I ask what it is for?" Zhang Qiong couldn't help but ask curiously before leaving.

Not only Zhang Qiong, but other Taoists in the temple, such as Zhang Fu, were all filled with curiosity.

This method of fire refining is simply unheard of.

"Hmm? Haven't you seen this method before?"

See them nod blankly.

Ji Yuan was a little surprised: "Then how were the legendary treasures such as the Zhao family's ancestor's [Five Hells Escape Immortal Pillar] and the old commander Yin's [Yin Yang Twin Dragon Swords] refined?"

"Refined?" Zhao Chengyun, who had just walked into the temple from outside, was shocked when he heard this.

“How can that legendary supreme treasure be acquired through practice? It must be achieved through innate ability.” Zhang Qiong, Zhao Chengyun and others were even more shocked than Ji Yuan.

Especially Zhao Chengyun, as the patriarch of the Zhao family's branch, he can be considered a descendant of the Zhao family. Although he has never seen the Zhao family's treasure, he knows some secrets far better than others.

"That was a ball of innate immortal spiritual light, primordial golden essence, obtained from the outer world tens of thousands of years ago under the guidance of the immortal master. It was later refined by the master's magic power and cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and finally cultivated to the point of unity of body and spirit, and finally became a treasure of enlightenment."

"It is said that this treasure is a golden stake with five golden rings on it. Once this treasure is used, a hazy purple air will fill the universe, and the sky and the earth will suddenly become dark. Regardless of whether they are human or immortal, they will become confused and upside down. When they come to their senses, they will have been bound to the golden stake by this treasure. Even if the immortal master changes his mind in a thousand ways, he cannot escape."

"When the ancestor's treasure was first created, a supreme warrior from an alien race snatched it from a distance. The ancestor used this treasure as a sacrifice. From a distance of thousands of miles, he was able to bind the true body of a true saint from an alien race and killed him several times in a row. Fortunately, the true saint cultivated the Dao Fruit of Eternal Calamity and became immortal and indestructible, and could not be killed or destroyed by material things. Otherwise, he would have been buried in the hands of my ancestor."

“Later, the founder of the sect gave me the name [Five Hells Escape to Immortals], and since then my name has spread throughout the world, and everyone knows it.” Zhao Chengyun talked endlessly about the deeds of his ancestor with a proud look on his face.

It was as if the powerful man holding the treasure and fighting against the supreme power was him.

Ji Yuan did not interrupt, this was the first time he heard these secrets.

It turns out that the treasures in this world are divided into two types: magic tools and magic treasures.

Magical instruments, containing talismans, are created by cultivators through magic rituals. They are divided into seventy-two levels of restrictions. The higher the level of restrictions, the stronger the power. They are relatively common.

The centipede bee bag has a restriction, but it can barely work as an algorithm machine.

Magical weapons are made of innate materials, also known as innate treasures, and there are no restrictions on high and low levels. They are certain spiritual treasures that cultivators obtained before the creation of the world, and are combined with their own magic power to create a unique treasure for proving the truth.

The magic weapon is spiritual and unique; it is more like a regular invincible treasure. A cultivator holding it can be invincible and even develop the ability to destroy the world and rival the immortal leader.

However, the most powerful thing about the immortal leader is not his magical powers; rather, his indestructible body, immortality, and the ability to be resurrected from the spot in zero seconds. It is said that the true saint of the leader can even avoid the annihilation of the universe, and then transform into a god or demon to create the world. This is the true immortality.

In other words, even if the Immortal Patriarch stands still and lets you kill him billions of times, until you have drained all your magic power and become mentally exhausted and can no longer kill, then they will just treat him as a drizzle.

The Taoist scriptures say: Immortals are one with the Tao, not bound by laws, not stuck in the Tao, their forms transcend the five elements without a trace, they escape from the ten directions without a shadow, they enter and exit between existence and non-existence, without birth and death.

However, with the magical powers of the Immortal Patriarch, being able to defeat the Immortal Leader once and escape alive is something he can brag about for tens of thousands of years and become a legend.

As for the art of refining treasures, there is no systematic method of refining.

There are some Qigong practitioners who use furnaces to refine gold essence, lead, mercury and the like, and make them into raw material embryos such as magic silver and magic copper. They then practice on their own, using magic to slowly refine them for thousands of years, and naturally create magic weapons.

It is unheard of that the real instruments and magic weapons are not made with the help of a furnace.

"Let alone magic weapons, even magic instruments are rare items that are worth a fortune. Master Ji has great magical powers. If he can use the fire refining method to refine a magic instrument, once it is spread, it will surely shock the world!" Zhang Qiong's eyes revealed excitement.

If Ji Yuan could really use this fire refining method to make some magical instruments or treasures in a short period of time, then their cost of these spiritual objects and magical materials would not be worth mentioning.

He would even plunder the entire Yunzhou cultivation world and pay ten or a hundred times more for it.

As long as Master Ji agrees and can help them refine a magic weapon, it would be worth it.

Each magical weapon is a famous item; almost all of them are unique, and require thousands of years of magical practice by a skilled Qigong practitioner.

It can allow a person with only a few years of insignificant magical power to easily defeat a monk with hundreds or even thousands of years of practice using a magical weapon.

"I'm not sure if it can succeed." Ji Yuan shook his head.

He himself did not know how to cultivate magical instruments; but this method of fire refining was recorded in the method of refining the wind bag magic weapon together with the nine true talismans.

Ji Yuan was not sure whether he could succeed in practicing it in this world where the rules were completely different.

"Master, the copper furnace is already burning red."

"Throw the French silver into the furnace first."

Upon hearing this, the two elders, Zhang Qiong and Zhao Chengyun, rushed to push Zhang Fu away, lifted the furnace lid, and threw the French silver into the red copper furnace.

Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the altar, stretched out his hand and pointed, and the invisible magic power penetrated into the furnace, wrapped the magic silver and turned it over to calcine it.

"Mr. Zhao, stir up the fire!"

"Yes!" Zhao Chengyun became a fire-burning Taoist priest. His hair and beard were all spread out, and he poured his magic power into the fire. With a bang, the billowing flames rushed up several feet high.

"Sizzle", billowing black smoke rose from the holes of the copper furnace. The French silver refined from thousands of tons of silver was quickly forged into a fist-sized ball of red hot liquid.

Ji Yuan calculated the time and waved his sleeves; the fur of the strange beast flew out from his sleeves and was blown into the furnace by the wind.

"Boom!" The animal skin was put into the furnace and was immediately burned into a ball by the raging flames, and the burnt smell filled the sky.

"Not good! Master, your exotic beast fur cannot withstand the fire and will turn into ashes." Zhang Qiong's face changed and he reminded.

Ji Yuan did not move, but silently used his magic power to sense the situation in the furnace.

"We can't burn it like this. If we keep burning it, there won't be even ash left." Zhao Chengyun also stroked his beard and shook his head.

“As the saying goes, true gold is forged by fire; to transcend the mundane, one must be tempered by water and fire.” Ji Yuan said calmly.

The sound of "hissing" continued to echo from the furnace. Even though the fur of the exotic beasts was known for its toughness, it curled up rapidly in the raging flames and was about to turn into charcoal.

According to the records of the [Wind Bag] ritual and refining method, at this time, one should use fire-attributed spiritual sand to refine the fur of exotic animals, so that it can be detached from the mundane world and possess an immortal nature, so that it can carry the divine winds from all directions.

At this time, Ji Yuan thought it was almost done, so he ordered Zhang Qiong: "Pour all the red sun sand into the furnace!"

The wind bag records that a kind of fire crystal sand called "Chengming Sand" is used. But Ji Yuan looked through the "Lingxuan Guizhi" and other Taoist books, and asked Zhao Chengyun and others many times.

It is certain that there is no spiritual sand called "Chengming Sand" in this world.

Chiyang Sand is a kind of precious spiritual sand in this world. It is born in magma and is formed by the erosion of magma for tens of millions of years. It has a strong fire attribute.

It is often used by Qigong practitioners to practice certain fire-attribute spells.

Ji Yuan pondered for a long time and decided to use this red sun sand to replace the fire attribute spiritual sand.

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, an item is called differently in different places, not to mention that it has changed the realm?
I can only think of replacing it with other spiritual objects with similar characteristics.

This is also the reason why Ji Yuan obtained the method of refining the [Wind Bag] and studied and pondered it for a long time before finally starting to refine it.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiong did not dare to delay and quickly opened the brocade box. He used his magic power to gather the red sun sand and threw it into the furnace.

Thousands of grains of crystal sand, the size of soybeans, red in color like glass, hot and sparkling, were thrown into the furnace.

This red sun sand cannot dissolve in fire, but it cannot come into contact with silver. Once it comes into contact with silver, it will melt into liquid.

When wrapped by the magic silver that was refined into silver liquid, the Red Sun Sand immediately melted and merged with the silver liquid, turning into a ball of bright red liquid like cinnabar.

"Good!" Ji Yuan clapped his hands and applauded, feeling relieved. This meant that Chiyang Sand could replace Chengming Sand.

Zhao Chengyun, Zhang Qiong and others were very curious about what to do next.

But Ji Yuan suddenly said, "Everyone please leave the temple and do not come in to disturb us."

Zhao and Zhang did not dare to disobey, and suppressed their curiosity. They bowed and went out of the temple with Zhang Fu and other Taoists to wait.

When everyone had left, Ji Yuan was the only one left in front of the stove.

Ji Yuancai used his magic power to capture the bright red liquid in the furnace out of thin air, using his magic power as a pen and the spiritual material as ink.

Write talismans on the burnt animal skin.

Ji Yuan has thoroughly studied the nine true talismans of the wind bag in recent days, and even cultivated a little bit of the magical power of [calling the wind and rain].

At this time, nine golden talismans appeared on the animal skin, and the entire burnt animal skin suddenly stretched out.

All of a sudden, the sound of whistling wind filled the hall.

Countless wisps of wind enveloped the entire Jinding Mountain; Ji Yuan's sleeves, robe, beard and hair were all blown up by the wind.

The invisible wind was gathered by nine true talismans, flew into the furnace, and was imprinted into the animal skin.

Even though the raging flames burned, the animal skin remained intact and gradually turned into a long scroll with black and red talismans engraved on it.

All the hair was burned off by the flames.

All the impurities were burned away.

The material no longer looked like animal skin, but was black and red in color, neither cloth, silk nor iron. There were nine true talismans engraved on it, shining with golden light, reflecting in the furnace.

With the slightest touch of wind, it becomes more and more magical.

Ji Yuan could sense that the entire animal skin material had become extremely pure and transparent, and the magic power in it was flowing smoothly, activating the nine true talismans.

At this point the wind bag has actually been formed, but there is still one last step left.

Ji Yuan used his magic power to pick up the spiritual silk and flew it into the furnace. The silk was not afraid of fire and as it moved, it gradually turned the animal skin into a leather bag.

The fire was still burning fiercely.

Ji Yuan closed his eyes slightly. As the [Wind Bag] was about to be refined, the treasure absorbed tiny wisps of spiritual light from heaven and earth that were invisible to the naked eye and imperceptible.

Intangible insights also continuously surge into my heart.

The whole mind seemed to be integrated with the wind bag in the furnace.

On the wind bag, nine talismans shrunk into tiny seal characters.
Absorbing the invisible energy of heaven and earth, the small seal script is constantly changing, and with every breath, it will evolve into a different form, like a scroll of heavenly book.

"Tao... This is the Great Way of Wind!" Ji Yuan suddenly realized.

Endless obscure and complex information entered my mind, and my understanding of the wind continued to increase.

The supernatural power of [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain] also improves rapidly.

.........

Outside the Taoist temple.

Zhang Qiong and Zhao Chengyun looked at the sky, where wisps of wind gathered in Jinding Mountain.

They all looked shocked.

"This!! How is it possible!"

"Did he really master the magic weapon?"

“But looking at the momentum, it doesn’t look like it’s a magic weapon…” Zhao Chengyun shook his head.

As far as he knew, every time an innate magic weapon came into the world, its light would illuminate tens of thousands of miles; its aura would be so overwhelming that it would attract the attention of all the powerful people in the heavens.

But if you say it hasn't been refined.

This cold and chilly atmosphere spread over hundreds of miles, constantly rushing into the temple from the outside world. What was the reason?
There are also traces of mysterious energy emanating from the Taoist temple.

"Tao rhyme! This is Tao rhyme! Tao rhyme that can only be achieved with magic weapon!" Zhang Qiong looked towards the Taoist temple, unable to believe it.

Magical weapons are the carriers of supernatural powers; supernatural powers are the proof of the Great Dao. When magic weapons are achieved, there must be a mysterious rhythm of the Dao.

A cultivator who comprehends the rhythm of Tao can increase his wisdom and power, and even develop supernatural powers and Taoist magic.

Zhang Qiong and Zhao Chengyun were full of excitement and were about to sit down to try to comprehend the traces of the Tao.

But the next moment, all the strange phenomena converged and disappeared, and they could no longer touch them at all.

"Did it fail?"

The two looked at each other, both eyes full of disappointment.

If that trace of Taoism was stronger and lasted longer, perhaps they could comprehend some magic from it.

It is a rare opportunity for ordinary cultivators to see a person with great supernatural powers refining treasures.

When the two were confused.

Squeak!

A breeze blew open the gate of the Taoist temple.

Zhao, Zhang and others hurried in and saw that the flame under the furnace had gone out.

Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the Dharma platform with his eyes closed.

"Master Ji, is it done?" Zhang Qiong couldn't help but ask.

"Not yet, but I have already thoroughly understood the method of subduing the dragon." Ji Yuan opened his eyes and looked at them.

Zhang Qiong and Zhao Chengyun felt their bodies tense up inexplicably when they were swept by that gaze, and they felt as if an infinite avenue seemed to flow in those eyes.

Looking at it, one feels like a mayfly looking up at the sky.

But the next moment, that feeling disappeared without a trace, and the person sitting in front of him was still the handsome young man in simple clothes.

"Go home and prepare first. Lure out the evil dragon tomorrow. I will treat it."

"Yes!" Zhao Chengyun and the other two did not dare to ask more questions. After paying their respects, they rode the mist and left the temple.

It was not until they flew out of Jinding Mountain that Zhang Qiong sighed and said, "I told you, it's not that easy to make magic tools and magic treasures. It's a waste of all our materials and spiritual objects..."

"But this Master Ji is really capable. He can actually summon a trace of Tao rhyme. Given time, he will surely soar to the sky. We can waste these spiritual objects and just consider it as making friends with him. It's not a loss at all." Zhao Chengyun didn't care.

Although he came from a prominent family, the Yunzhou branch of the Zhao family was only a side branch and had no blood relationship with the ancestor of the Xuanwei Sect's Zhao family.

There are many branch families like the Zhao family all over Zhongzhou, with hundreds or even thousands of them, all claiming to be descendants of the great ancestor Zhao of the Xuanwei Sect.

They are all those who, after the ancestor of the Zhao family cultivated great supernatural powers and became famous, sought to gain seniority or claimed to be the bloodline of the ancestor Zhao.

The true bloodline of Ancestor Zhao had actually moved to the Southern Shan area long ago, and was not in Zhongzhou.

"That's right. Spiritual objects and magical materials are dead things after all. They will be piled up wherever they are. It is right to use them to make friends with the geniuses of such great sects who have unlimited prospects." Zhang Qiong nodded in agreement.

Ji Yuan was very young, and had only practiced magic for a decade, but he had already acquired great supernatural powers.

Even if it is not yet a true disciple of a great religion, it will surely have a place in the future.

They couldn't afford to offend such people.

Not to mention that Ji Yuan hadn't mastered any magic weapons or instruments, even if he had, they wouldn't dare to covet them.

Chen State and Yunzhou are both territories of the Xuanwei Sect.

"But what should we do about King Bai Jiao?" Zhang Qiong frowned in distress.

“Just say that the Qi-refining master of Xuanwei Sect is threatening us. We dare not disobey and let King Bai Jiao come to help us deal with the Qi-refining master of Xuanwei Sect. Otherwise, we will not be able to cooperate…” Zhao Chengyun said, stroking his beard.

"But we still have to put in some superficial effort. Let's prepare five hundred babies tonight and offer them to the white dragon. Let it come out of the cliff tomorrow to get them."

"Report to Master Ji tomorrow morning and tell him that we plan to use the baby to lure the white dragon up, and have him wait at Wanzhang Cliff."

"Okay, okay, let's put it this way; we won't offend either side, and we'll follow whoever wins." Zhang Qiong nodded repeatedly.

.........

At Jinding Temple, Ji Yuan took out a palm-sized golden brocade bag from his sleeve.

He showed a look of disappointment: "After all, it is still far from being perfect. I have not yet mastered the magic weapon."

Ji Yuan did not fail.

But it didn't turn into a magic weapon as imagined.

I just mastered the magic weapon.

"But this wind bag can be considered a real magic weapon." Ji Yuan showed a hint of joy in his heart again.

Although it is not a magic weapon, but at the last moment, it brought out a trace of Tao rhyme, which made this treasure have the complete seventy-two restrictions.

It became the most advanced magical weapon in one fell swoop.

In terms of mystery and power, it is thousands of times superior to the centipede bee bag.

"Even if it's a magical weapon, even if I practice this [Wind Bag] again, I won't be able to practice it, or I won't be able to practice it to this effect."

Even if the material could be improved tenfold, or even if he used innate materials, Ji Yuan was not sure that he could refine it into a top-notch magical weapon, or even the magic weapon [Wind Bag] again.

Now, this top-notch magic weapon, the wind bag, is actually not the best in terms of material.

When it is about to be mastered, the restrictions are only a dozen or so layers.

The key is still the last bit of the infusion of the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.

This caused the restriction of this treasure to grow rapidly, and in just a short moment it was completed to the seventy-second level.

He is even just a little bit away from mastering the real magic weapon.

This kind of infusion of Taoism is something you can only encounter by chance.

Therefore, even if he prepared better, more sufficient, and more superior precious materials, Ji Yuan was not sure that he could practice this top-notch magical weapon again.

"It's not beyond my expectation. After practicing with magic instruments and magic treasures, my understanding of supernatural powers has increased extremely quickly." Ji Yuan waved his sleeves.

A gust of wind, about ten feet long, swept past.

The wind blew sand and rocks into the air in front of the hall, and dust and smoke rose up everywhere.

The next moment, Ji Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air dozens of feet away.

"Being one with the wind, my magical powers have reached several levels. When combined with my magical skills, it is like adding wings to a tiger."

Within the soul, the mysterious talismans became more and more harmonious, becoming one with the soul; constantly absorbing subtle principles from between heaven and earth.

It seemed as if Ji Yuan was in touch with the great Dao of heaven and earth with every breath, and his spirit and soul were merging with the Dao.

Due to the limitation of the magic power level, the power of the supernatural power has not been enhanced much.

However, his mastery of the magical powers has reached a profound level, and its mysteriousness has increased to an extremely high level.

A gust of wind about ten feet long swept past, and Ji Yuan's figure disappeared again.

As if completely blending into the wind.

When the figure appeared again, he was already in Jinding Mountain, several miles away from the Taoist temple.

A wisp of wind drifted over from afar and was caught in Ji Yuan's hand.

The conversation between Zhao and Zhang could be heard clearly in the wind.

Only Ji Yuan could hear it.

After hearing this, Ji Yuan twisted his fingers to loosen the wind and chuckled.

This is the art of listening to the wind.

A wisp of invisible wind followed the two of them, and Ji Yuan could not hide anything they said over the hundreds of miles.

Ji Yuan didn't care. He returned to the temple and began to sit cross-legged and meditate.

This treasure refining is of great significance to Ji Yuan.

It is not only about mastering magical instruments and improving supernatural powers.

It also verifies the feasibility of the fire refining method. There are many insights that need to be digested and comprehended.
