One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 266: Assessment
Zhao Fuyun is a Purple Mansion cultivator, so of course everyone will be polite to him.

But as a cultivator, everyone dreams that he or she can become a Purple Palace one day.

I always think that I can reach the same level as him.

But when Zhao Fuyun asked them to pick the lamp flowers and let the flames in their bodies go out of control, they were confused and could not understand.

When a person cannot understand other people's magic, he will feel awe from the bottom of his heart.

They found that they were one level lower than Zhao Fuyun, but they had no power to resist Zhao Fuyun at all.

"You should already know how important it is to have a high affinity for fire. Therefore, you need to feel the fire more and practice controlling fire.

"Now, I will tell you about the characteristics of flames. Perhaps many people will think that you are already familiar with the characteristics of flames, so why do you need to explain it again? What I want to say here is that when a flame is there, what you feel is different from what I feel."

So, Zhao Fuyun began to explain the Red Flame Divine Art from that day on.

During the class, Liang Jidao listened very seriously and looked at Zhao Fuyun with eagerness in his eyes, but Zhao Fuyun did not look at him. Even when he went on stage to pick the flame, the flame never entered his hands. He looked at Zhao Fuyun out of shame, but only saw Zhao Fuyun sitting there with his eyes closed.

He felt very disappointed and thought that Zhao Fuyun might have forgotten him, after all, so many years had passed.

In his heart, he was glad that he had not told anyone else that he knew Zhao Fuyun.

Until the end, when he stood up to leave, he heard Zhao Fuyun calling his name. The loss in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he was surprised to see that everyone was looking at him.

Everyone walked outside. Next to him was a good friend he had made in recent days. Sang Jiyun looked at him in surprise.

An indescribable emotion surged in Liang Jidao's heart. During these days, he realized how important Tiandu Mountain was in everyone's hearts.

He knew that in the same realm, the disciples of Tiandu Mountain must be at the top. As for the realm of foundation building, when he recalled the magic that Zhao Fuyun performed in Sanliangwan back then, he felt it was mysterious and incredible.

All the specialness and awe are achieved by comparing with others. When comparison is impossible, those things heard from others are hard to convince people.

Just like people from many other places, although they know that the cultivators of Tiandu Mountain are powerful, they have never actually seen them, so they don't have a concrete concept. Sometimes they think, you and I are at the same level, and even if I am not your opponent, can't we beat you with three of us together?
Sometimes, fighting is not a matter of the number of people. When someone else's magic is used and none of you three can understand it, it's useless even if you three fight together.

When everyone had left, Liang Jidao came to Zhao Fuyun and said to him, as Zhao Fuyun leaned against the wooden table, "Time flies. So many years have passed. I didn't expect you to come to Tiandu Mountain."

"My father insisted on coming to Tiandu Mountain back then. Although he had an accident, he was lucky to have made friends like you, Master Zhao. After I knew that Tiandu Mountain had reopened, I wanted to come to Tiandu Mountain. Even if I can't enter the upper courtyard of Tiandu Mountain, it's good to be able to see Tiandu Mountain."

Zhao Fuyun could feel that the fire element in him was not strong.

So he asked, "When you entered Tiandu Mountain, did anyone look for you?"

"Master Jin came to me and asked me if my father was a disciple of Tiandu Mountain." Liang Jidao said.

Zhao Fuyun thought for a moment and understood, and said, "Very good. Now that you have entered Tiandu Mountain, you should study hard, read more books in the Dharma Library, and learn more magic."

"Okay, I will definitely go." Liang Jidao said.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the man in front of him who looked older than himself, and realized that the other person must be over thirty years old when he established his foundation.

It may even be close to forty, but this is normal. Originally, cultivators from all over the world, unless they have extraordinary talents or good resources, usually build their foundation between thirty and sixty.

It is quite good that he can build a foundation at this age. Of course, it can hardly be considered good among the upper courtyards of Tiandu Mountain.

"Of course, you must complete the homework I assign." Zhao Fuyun assigned homework to them.

The homework is fire control.

Using fire to transform hundreds of birds, after they finish these ten lessons, they will be tested. If anyone can transform into a scene of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix, he will teach them a spell, or they can choose a secret method of Tiandu Mountain.

This is a change after the reopening of Tiandu Mountain. It gives some outstanding disciples of the upper house more rewards. Before, the rewards were relatively small, and they also needed to complete the tasks in the Tiandu Mountain External Affairs Mission Hall to get some rewards, and most of them even had no rewards at all.

Now this reward was set up by Tiandu Mountain in order to strengthen the connection between it and the disciples of the upper house.

Zhao Fuyun felt that the people in the mountain felt that those who left Tiandu Mountain did not have much affection for Tiandu Mountain. After leaving Tiandu Mountain and returning to their homes, they did not think that Tiandu Mountain was so good, because they paid a lot of spirit stones to enter Tiandu Mountain, and they had to pay it every year.

So after leaving, he felt that he had bought it with spirit stones and did not feel much gratitude.

Zhao Fuyun supports increasing the bond.

He felt the changes in Tiandu Mountain, and could also feel that Tiandu Mountain seemed to be preparing for something.

Especially this time, many people came from Guangyuan Prefecture.

Zhao Fuyun finished his first class, and he didn’t care what others said about him.

He returned to his Lihuo Palace and felt it was rather spacious, so he thought about adding some furniture.

So he went outside the temple, cut down a tree, and found a stone.

He wanted to use a myriad of techniques to transform it into the furniture he wanted, but he couldn't do it.

He learned the magic of ever-changing techniques from the main peak of Tiandu Mountain, but it was a bit mysterious, as if it was dug out from the transformation techniques deep in his heart.

The introduction, however, was the shadow-transforming technique that he had figured out himself.

Because he did not have the corresponding Dharma ideas in his body and relied purely on his own comprehension, so over the years, he was still able to transform into shadows, rainbows, cremation, and emptiness, etc. Moreover, except for the transformation into shadows, all of these were possible because there were corresponding Dharma ideas in the talismans, so they could be "transformed".

But if he wants to make furniture out of stone or wood, that’s a bit difficult.

He had no special feelings about stone and wood, just like the cultivators in the Xuanguan period.

However, the word "ever-changing" in his mind seemed to have set a framework for him.

He thought for a while, and then sacrificed the green jade paulownia branch. Then, he used the green jade paulownia branch to point at a piece of wood on the ground. The piece of wood turned into a table in a ball of green light.

Although it was a little rough, it was almost what he had in mind.

He was delighted.

So, he transformed the remaining wood into the furniture he wanted.

Afterwards, he went to the magic storage building and looked for books on wood magic and the five elements' generation and restraint.

If he was only in the Xuanguan period and decided to follow the path of the Five Elements in the future, he would have studied it. But now that he has reached the Zifu period, he found that the path of the Five Elements was vast and endless. After reading some of it, he gave up. If he indulged in it too much, he would ruin his own path.

He was very clear that he now had two paths, one was the road of fire, and the other was the road of reality and illusion.

But if you want to form a pill, there are three directions.

One is the path of pure yang, one is the balance of yin and yang, and one is the combination of reality and illusion.

However, when he opened the Purple Mansion, he took the path of homology and progression. If he wanted to achieve the harmony of yin and yang now, he must have an excellent feminine spiritual object. Therefore, achieving the harmony of yin and yang was the most difficult.

Taking the Pure Yang Path is relatively simple, but it is very difficult to achieve Infant Transformation on the Pure Yang Path because solitary Yang cannot last long.

The golden elixir turns into an infant, and the golden elixir is equivalent to the "womb". If you want to give birth to an infant from it, you must have "yin" entering it.

As the saying goes, harmony between yin and yang is the way to longevity.

Therefore, in order to transform the Pure Yang Golden Elixir into an infant, the Pure Yin Qi must be incorporated into it, only then can it be transformed into an infant.

Where does this pure Yin energy come from? It must be from natural treasures, or from other cultivators.

There is another one, which is the way of reality and illusion.

Because of Zhao Fuyun's Taixu Wujie Sutra, which made him comprehend the "void" method, and the red flame golden talisman in the purple mansion also contained the "soul-calming" method, so it can also be called real.

However, the concepts of 'virtual' and 'real' do not occupy much weight in their hearts.

However, he did not think too much about these. As for the ever-changing method, he only practiced the shadow transformation, rainbow transformation, and cremation transformation, and that was enough.

Especially the 'cremation' technique, combined with the fire burning technique, and then combined with the 'burning ruins', he suddenly felt that these techniques all had something in common, but of course there were also differences.

It is normal for spells from the same series to have similarities.

While he was preaching, he was also pondering magic and practicing.

While pondering, he found the word "hua" very interesting.

In the Secret Words of the Heavenly Commands, the word "委" has a feeling of being a command based on oneself, and a feeling of acting on behalf of Heaven and carrying out Heaven's orders.

However, the word "transformation" does not appear in "The Secret Words of the Heavenly Commands".

But it does exist in the cloud patterns.

In particular, he once again flipped through the "Nine Heavens Cloud Pattern Chapter Record" and paid close attention to the symbol that represented "transformation".

He had not paid much attention to this rune before.

In other words, he didn't actually use many of the cloud patterns.

The runes representing the meaning of "transformation" are very complex.

The word "hua" (transformation) means change, transformation, metamorphosis, evolution, and corruption.

From one state to another.

He was thinking and feeling.

Thus, there was one more secret decree added to the "Secret Words of the Heavenly Commands".

He practiced various secret spells and mantras every day, in accordance with the imperial edict.

As time passed, he taught the Dharma and practiced the Dharma.

In the blink of an eye, the course of the Red Flame Divine Art was over.

Zhao Fuyun told them how to communicate with the Red Flame God and some techniques of controlling fire.

After the last class, Zhao Fuyun assessed them.

As long as they could conjure up a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, Zhao Fuyun would teach them a spell, or they could choose a spell themselves.

It was still the Qingfeng Hall, with a lamp placed in the middle of the hall, a table in the middle, and a lamp placed on the corner of the table.

These days, after listening to Zhao Fuyun's teachings, they have made great progress in fire magic, but many people still have expressions of anxiety or regret on their faces.

Many of them couldn't do it, but they didn't want to leave, and they all wanted to see who could do it here.

Some of them have already muttered privately that this is too difficult and cannot be done.

Liang Jidao sighed in his heart. He did not participate in this discussion because he could not do it at all. It was not just that he was almost there, but he was far from it.

For a moment, everyone sat down and did not dare to go up.

After a moment's silence, someone finally stood up. She was the female cultivator who was the first to come up to the stage and pick the flame during the test in the first class.

Zhao Fuyun still doesn't know her name because he has never asked and doesn't care. When he is preaching in the temple, he can just point at whoever he wants to answer a question.

She came to the middle and first saluted Zhao Fuyun.

Then stand five steps in front of the table. This is the set distance.

Then, she closed her eyes and concentrated.

Zhao Fuyun didn't know her name, but he had an impression of her.

Because when she was picking sparks, she was shy but also had a spirit of not admitting defeat. At that time, even though she failed twice, Zhao Fuyun felt that she actually wanted to try again for a third time.

Zhao Fuyun had taught them the steps of casting spells.

If someone else taught them, they would definitely sneer, because for a foundation-building cultivator, how could he not know how to cast a spell?

But after watching them picking flames, Zhao Fuyun felt that many people did not cast spells in a standard way. Improper spell casting means that a person's magic power cannot be fully exerted. When fighting with others, others can pour out all their magic power in an instant, but you cannot do it, then success or failure will come into play.

When others know how to save mana, but you use it all up at once, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

There are four steps in total to cast the spell.

Focus your mind and concentrate your intention, watch the enemy without changing your mind, unify your thoughts, mantras and actions, and lock the enemy with your mind.

Zhao Fuyun discovered that many of them were unable to concentrate during this process, or were not focused enough on a certain process. Although they were able to cast spells, they were wasting their magic power.

At the same time, there will be inaccuracies when casting at long distances.

For example, with the simplest fire arrow, even if there is a feather standing far away, many people will not be able to hit it.

And this female cultivator is just like this.
