Chapter 54: Refining the Magical Tool
The next day, my godfather didn't mention the money anymore.
Two days later, I took a bus back to Qinghe City.
Seeing me coming back, my parents seemed very happy. When I was cooking in the evening, my mother specially gave me a local chicken and said she was to replenish my body.
During this period, my mother wanted to speak but stopped her, but her father shook her head and stopped her.
It seems that I am preparing to have supper and have a meeting to discuss. This is also the tradition of my family.... Sure enough, after dinner, I was stopped by my mother when I was about to go back to the house.
"Ahao, your godfather made a lot of money to our bank card two days ago. I heard that you got it from treating someone's illness?"
"Yeah," I could only nod. It turned out that my godfather secretly gave this money to her parents, no wonder she didn't mention it when she left.
After getting the affirmative answer, the mother pondered for a moment and asked again: "I used to clean up the house for you and read some messy books inside. I thought you were just reading it casually, but I didn't expect to practice it. Is this thing harmful to people?"
"Mom, it's okay. Practicing Taoism is like practicing martial arts. It's both strengthening the body." I was afraid that it would be too complicated to make my parents think too much, so I could only try to explain it in a simple way.
“Doesn’t study delay?”
"No delay, I will just flip through it when I am idle." In order not to worry, I continued to underestimate them.
The mother pondered again and sighed for a long time: "Your father and I don't understand the practice of Taoism, and there is nothing to say. But you have to remember that you are the only child in our family. Your father and I have great expectations for you. I hope you can study hard and try to get into a better university in the future. Then get married and have children. By that time, the store will not be opened, so I will coax your children for you."
Sweat... Mom's speed of changing the topic was too fast. I hurriedly stopped talking: "Mom, it's too early to say this, it's too early."
"Anyway, that's it. Just understand. I have nothing to say, what your dad says." The mother turned her head and looked at her father.
"Xiao Hao, you are eighteen years old this year and are not young anymore. I don't need to say much about many things, you understand yourself. You are still a student now, and your main task is to study... We can give some suggestions when we encounter difficulties in the future."
My parents talk so much, which can be attributed to one sentence: study hard and don’t do some complicated things.
I could only keep nodding. After finishing my practice at night, I lay on the bed, and I was still thinking about this conversation in my mind.
Practicing Taoism, learning, learning, practicing Taoism... both must be taken into account, and it seems not too difficult. At present, I think I am doing well.
I hope that the three years of high school will end soon, and it is said that going to college will be much easier.
Well, from tomorrow, continue to work hard and strive to be a good student who loves to practice Taoism and life!
Time suddenly passed. Since my parents talked to me last time, they have not mentioned the practice of Taoism again.
During the day, I help my parents organize the flower bonsai in the yard most of the time. After practicing at night, I think about a piece of jade I got last summer vacation, and plan to practice it into an evil-proof talisman and give it to Lin Qingqing.
I thought about it and did it. I carefully recalled the records of refining talismans in the "Diqian Ji". After confirming that there was no problem, I took out the jade.
Taking a few deep breaths, the vital energy in the body quickly started to flow, causing the three yang fires on the body to burn.
Under the guidance of the spiritual consciousness, the three groups of yang fires were separated into each of them, and finally gathered in the palm of the hand to completely wrap the jade.
At this moment, I clearly sensed the internal structure of the jade. It turned out that the crystal clear jade was not flawless, but there were many earth-brown impurities inside.
The yang fire continued to burn, and the jade was slowly changing. The soil-brown impurities turned into nothingness and were discharged from the surface bit by bit.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark green jade gradually turned milky white, and its volume decreased by more than twice, and fog appeared on the surface.
Is this... refined? Looking at the softened jade, my heart moved, using my spiritual consciousness as the pen and the vitality as the ink to carve talismans on the surface of the jade.
The spiritual consciousnesses carried the vitality and condensed into talismans. When I took back the Yang Fire, the jade talismans were still lying in my hand without any change.
I took a deep breath and released my spiritual sense: Success!
This method of sacrifice and practice just now was not obtained from "Daozang", but was inspired by reading "Diqian Ji". I never thought it was really successful. It seems that this evil book is not useless, Immortal Heavenly Lord!
As soon as I was excited, I suddenly felt so sleepy that my eyelids were sore. This feeling of sleepiness has not been around for a long time.
I turned my head to look at the three yang fires on my body and realized that they had become much weaker.
Obviously, it was a huge amount of consumption when I was practicing jade just now... I held the jade talisman in my hand and fell asleep in a drowsy way.
When I woke up, I felt refreshed. I looked at the three yang fires on my body and had recovered as before.
After successfully refining the jade talisman, my confidence increased greatly, and then I started to think about the green-skinned gourd at hand.
As my career in practicing Taoism grew, I felt more and more magical about this thing. You know, even the Taoist Sanyang cannot bear the tyrannical vitality, and the green-skinned gourd can actually do it.
It's a pity to just use it to make the Spirit Gathering Bottle.
Now that I have not entered the state of the Heart Burning Fire, I will use Yanghuo Sacrifice to practice a simple magic weapon.
Don’t think about the immortal-killing gourd... There is a flash of inspiration in my mind. There is a record of storage magic weapon in "Daozang". Why not refine a storage gourd? It is very cool to use it to hold things.
With jade talismans in front of me, I am very confident in using Yanghuo to refine green-skin gourds. But the key is that I don’t know how long it will take. If it takes more than ten hours or even a whole day, it will definitely shock my parents.
Finally, I decided to go back to my hometown to live for a while. It was secluded and no one disturbed me. It was very suitable to refine magic tools. I told my parents about the news of returning to Balipo that they did not explicitly object to it, but just asked me to come back before school started.
Pack up your luggage and return to Balipo.
After I got home, I did not rush to start practicing with the green-skinned gourd, but continued to practice meditation, accumulate energy, and adjust my mind.
It was not until I felt that my mind was in the best state that I began to sacrifice magic weapons for the first time in my career in my Taoism.
The spiritual consciousness released...the yang fire followed...formed a fire ball, wrapping the green-skin gourd above the palm. All the steps to repeat the sacrifice and practice jade talismans were very smooth.
One minute, half an hour, I don’t know how long it took, but I felt that the green-skinned gourd began to change. When my heart moved, my vitality increased greatly, and the yang fire became more vigorous.
Well... no, my spiritual sense soon realized that something was wrong. The green-skinned gourd in the void did not slowly shrink and condense like jade. Instead, it tended to liquefy under the continuous scorching of yang fire, and seemed to be ruined. Now it seems that I took it for granted that the green-skinned gourd and jade were made of completely different materials.
Emei Tofu, Wuliang Tianzun! Can anyone tell me what's going on?
The answer cannot be found in "Daozang". What is said above is very clear. Generally, you need to use the heart fire to sacrifice and practice magic weapons. My method of refining weapons was borrowed from "Diqian Ji". Is the fire too strong? Looking at the burning Yang Fire, my head became a little dizzy, as if it was over-consuming.
I was about to take back the yang fire, but stopped again.
If the Yang Fire is removed, the green-skinned gourd in front of you will be really ruined.
We must cool this thing down so that the yang fire becomes gentle. Cool down, by the way... my mind moves, and the yin fire condenses and forms behind me.
Next, do the same, release a strand and press it above the green-skinned gourd.
It’s strange that the Yin Fire just appeared, and the tyrannical Yang Fire calmed down again.
The two combined with each other and rotated rapidly around the green-skinned gourd, and the latter also changed drastically in an instant... What happened? Another accident happened!!
Unlike what I expected, I felt that the Yin and Yang fire seemed to be sucked into the gourd, blending into one, and then slowly cooling down.
Damn, I haven’t used my energy to carve talismans yet.
It's too late. After so long refining, the brain's dizziness is getting stronger and stronger.
In desperation, I had to quickly retract my spiritual sense and hold the green-skinned gourd as big as a palm and feel tearsless.
This thing is completely a waste of practice, and the spirit-gathering gourd has turned into a white plate gourd!
I don’t know if I can practice it well after returning to the furnace in the future.
I was unwilling to give up. This time, I was a little confused and I didn’t have enough estimates of the difficulties in advance.
I used my spiritual sense to test again, wanting to see if the spirit-gathering talisman array in the gourd is still there.
Hey... Why are there two balls of fire inside, one yin and one yang, and it automatically rotates and burns!!
