I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 135 Chapter 134: Mirror of the Sky, the Beginning of the Treasure Refining System

Outside the cave, on the Kunwu peaks, the younger Taoists and disciples were either meditating and refining their energy, or playing chess and visiting friends, all indifferent as if nothing had happened.

But if you look closely, you will see that those who are playing chess on the rock wall, drinking tea in the pavilion, and visiting friends in the cave are all talking about "Ji Yuan", "Ling Bao" and things related to Master Ji recently.

From the moment the magic weapon was mastered, or in other words, from the moment he won the bet against all the predecessors and took control of the Bagua Furnace.

Whether he likes it or not, Ji Yuan has already become the center of attention and is truly the best of the younger generation of Xuanwei Sect.

The entire Xuanwei Sect, from the Taoist masters, immortals, and elders to the peak masters, inner sects, outer sects, and servants, everyone knows that there is a true genius in the sect, Immortal Ji, whose Taoist name is Lingbao, who has mastered magic weapons at a young age.

Let’s not talk about this for now.

It is said that on top of the Divine Mountain in the East, there is a precious mirror standing above the clouds, reflecting the sunlight. As it rotates, it illuminates the entire Kunwu inside and out, revealing every detail.

Under the sacred mountain, at the bottom of the lake, there is a faint reflection of a fairy root tree. It is filled with auspicious light and fairy flowers. Needless to say, if someone knowledgeable could see it, he would surely be astonished. This fairy root is none other than the innate fairy apricot, the most precious treasure that can suppress the three disasters.

On the pavilion on the lake, Xue Guangfa, with white hair and beard, was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard wearing a gray Taoist robe.

This is where he has been in seclusion for many years, and it is also an important place in the sect; the immortal roots, the cave heaven realm, the earth vein nodes, and the treasure house of the sacred mountain are all nearby.

Usually, there is only Patriarch Xue here, and no other outsiders can come; even Taoist Master Dao Miao will not come here easily.

But today, in this courtyard and waterside pavilion.

It was really noisy and lively. Patriarch Kurong, Patriarch Ziyang, Patriarch Shaoqing and other previous ancestors, as well as Guangyang, Guanggu, Guangmiao and other ten cave immortals who had appeared before to help Ji Yuan refine treasures and protect the Dharma, were all there.

No less than a hundred people.

Those with the lowest cultivation level are all at Dao Miao level. All of Kunwu’s current core senior executives are here.

Even the two Taoist masters Danling and Chiling in Dayan Cave, who were Ji Yuan's uncles in terms of seniority, had arrived here at some point and sat at the last seat.

"Old ghost Xue, you guys better do your best. Don't let the devil get in again and steal my kid Ji and the Bagua furnace." The aura of Taoism flashed, and the figure of General Yin emerged, laughing sarcastically.

Xue Guangfa's face turned dark; he snorted coldly and did not answer.

He usually doesn't get along with General Yin. When they were young, they were rivals and were used to sabotaging each other.

He is the kind of opponent who can't wait to make his opponent look bad, but at the same time, feels reluctant to see his opponent die.

The Taoist masters nearby had different expressions on their faces. They were talking and drinking among themselves, and no one spoke up to interfere.

Everyone knew that Commandant Yin was mocking the last time the 'Green Robe Old Devil' attacked Kunwu and the outer sect's treasure house was stolen, but Master Guangfa captured Yin Yaoer and asked the Yin family to pay compensation.

"Now that all matters in the sect have been completed, it's time for the old commander to go down the mountain, right?" Xue Guangfa couldn't bear to see Commandant Yin so proud of himself, so he drove him away directly.

"Hmph! I'm leaving if I want to. I'm afraid you won't be able to resolve the turmoil in the sect." Commander Yin didn't give Xue Guangfa any face at all. He pulled the cushion and sat down next to him.

This is the top and also the main seat.

"you!"

"What do you mean? I'm here, please sit closer." General Yin tilted his butt and almost pushed Patriarch Xue off the seat.

Xue Guangfa was about to lose his temper, but after thinking about it, he seemed to remember something. He snorted angrily, turned his head away, moved to another position, and did not lose his temper.

"Haha, speaking of which, it's a relief that I came back in time this time; otherwise, our magic weapon, the Eight Trigrams Furnace, would have been seized by the pagans and aliens long ago."

"Mr. Xue, please tell me how you should reward me." General Yin held his head high and chest puffed out, his eyes sweeping over the Taoist masters below him one by one as a greeting.

Everyone was afraid of his magical powers; no one could do anything about it, whether they liked him or not, they all smiled or stood up to greet him.

She looks exactly like his obedient granddaughter.

"Reward? Who asked you to go back to the mountain? You won't be held accountable for leaving your post and neglecting your duties, so just be happy." Speaking of this, Xue Guangfa suddenly became tough.

"Okay, okay. We won't pursue your words. Whoever tells tales to the founder is a grandson." Commander Yin was overjoyed. He crossed his legs, picked up the wine that belonged to Master Xue on the table and drank it.

"You!" Xue Guangfa was helpless with him.

I can only change the subject: "How are your preparations? When the robbery occurs, if your arrangements don't work, and the disciples go down the mountain and fail to capture the Xuanhuang Yuling, the master will blame you, and you will die!"

"Hmph, I have already made arrangements. Don't worry about it. You can't even handle Kunwu's affairs, and you still care about me." General Yin said contemptuously.

Xue Guangfa shook his head, said nothing more, and pointed upwards.

"Sky-reflecting mirror?" Commandant Yin looked up and saw a mirror standing in the clouds, showing every detail, revealing every move of Ji Yuan in the Dayan Cave Heaven.

All the Taoist masters and immortals were paying close attention to the developments.

"What a wonderful treasure furnace! The raging fire and divine flames inside it overlap by billions, like a realm within fire. It can even burn away all the thoughts that we can cast from a distance." Patriarch Ku Rong looked solemn.

Everyone turned their eyes to Gu Shaoqing, who was good at refining thunder and fire.

“I have never heard of such a fire that can burn thoughts. Even though my lineage is good at collecting cloud energy and refining thunder fire, it does not have such a powerful and mysterious power.” Gu Shaoqing shook his head.

Because Ji Yuan had been so mysterious before, he didn’t want to explain or show the mystery of the Bagua Furnace in too much detail.

After winning the bet with the other ancestors, the elders all promised in person to let him go back and meditate for a few years to practice and comprehend the magic weapons.

During this period, as long as Ji Yuan does not come out on his own initiative, no one is allowed to disturb him.

So the ancestors didn't dare to ask any more.

But one by one, seeing how mysterious it is, the cloud patterns and thunder seals on the outside alone are the innate treasures of fire magic, their curiosity cannot be stopped.

But if you send out a thought to peek, what you see is the Dharmadhatu, which has no color, not to mention color.

He didn't dare to get close to the Bagua furnace.

On the Bagua furnace, there were eight furnace mouths, including Qian, Kun, Zhen and Dui, all of which were flickering with a hint of fire.

Once they get close, and just scrape out a little bit of fire, no matter what spirits, ghosts, or even empty thoughts you have, they will be easily burned to ashes.

Therefore, the faces of these Taoist masters of Kunwu Mountain have turned pale in recent days, but they all secretly want to put their thoughts into the furnace to comprehend the mysteries.

As a result, the divine energy was damaged.

So everyone used the name of discussion to discuss the matter.

Gather together and ask Patriarch Xue to bring out Emperor Sui's most precious treasure, the Mirror of the Sky.

I want to use the celestial mirror to see the mystery of the treasure furnace.

It turned out that the ancestor Xue Guangfa was in possession of the supreme treasure of Emperor Sui, the Zhaotian Mirror; this mirror was ranked as an innate magic weapon, and like the Bagua Furnace, it was not good at fighting, but it also had many mysteries.

The first is to observe the realm; once the ritual is practiced as desired, not only thousands or tens of thousands of miles away, but even the nine heavens and ten earths can be illuminated in great detail.

It can be regarded as the most precious religious treasure of Kunwu Mountain.

According to everyone's thinking.

As innate treasures, the Sky Mirror is known as the number one peeping treasure in the heavens.

He is also very good at taking pictures of people's figures and shadows, and doing peeping things.

Taking a peek at the mystery of the furnace, everyone can secretly pick up a few scrolls of cloud pattern thunder seals, relying on their profound Taoist skills, and practice one or two fire magic techniques, which should not be a problem.

As a result, I still underestimated the Bagua Furnace.

"I never thought that even the most precious treasure of Emperor Sui could not get close to the treasure furnace; I could only see the clear image in the cave, Ji Yuan's every move, the wonderful principles of the flames in the furnace, the supreme mystery, but it was like looking at flowers in the fog, vaguely visible, but unattainable."

All the Taoist Masters were somewhat helpless.

"Well, so this treasure is actually an offensive treasure?" Commander Yin was also a little curious.

He also sent out a thought through the air and stepped directly into the Dayan Cave Heaven, trying to reach into the furnace to see the true talisman of the Great Dao.

However, as soon as he approached the furnace, he felt the world changing instantly, intense heat sweeping over him, great terror loomed, and everything went dark before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, that trace of thought and spiritual energy had been burned away.

"It doesn't look like it. Before, Junior Brother Ji threw an iron seal magic weapon and an innate spiritual jade in one after another." Zhenren Danling of Dayan Cave said, twirling his beard.

"What! Why don't you stop him?" General Yin stood up suddenly.

"I was just lost in thought when I saw divine flames raging in that small furnace. They were extremely fierce, and there were hundreds of millions of divine smoke and flames."

"Let alone getting close to it, even if you were to stand right next to the treasure furnace, the fire in the furnace would be terrifying and make your spine tremble with fear even if it wasn't emitting its power."

“Once such a million-fold divine fire is ignited, not to mention pearls, jade, and treasures; even the essence of gold, iron, and the best of the five metals will be burned into smoke in an instant if they enter the furnace.”

"This prodigal boy, I must teach him a lesson on behalf of Old Ghost Suo." Commander Yin's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he was about to go to Dayan Cave to teach Ji Yuan a lesson.

He suddenly remembered what he had said before when he lost the bet, that he should let others practice magic weapon in peace and not disturb them.

He could only stamp his feet and say: "This prodigal boy, his innate jade quality is shallow. Even if the material is not innate and is not afraid of fire, this will ruin the spirituality of the spiritual treasure."

But all the Taoist masters kept shaking their heads.

Dayan Cave Red Spirit Immortal then continued: "Earlier, when that nephew Ji opened the treasure furnace, all of a sudden, the mountains and rivers in the cave changed shape, forming the shape of the Eight Diagrams, storing wind and gathering energy, and pouring the spiritual wonders of heaven and earth into the furnace."

"From my point of view, the Eight Trigrams Furnace is not a weapon for killing, but rather a treasure for nurturing the spirituality of objects."

“Cultivate your spirituality!!!” Upon hearing this, all the Taoist masters were shocked.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Spiritual treasures are born and nurtured by nature. This spirit is not a spirit of wisdom, but an innate light of nature. It is like a person who has attained the Tao and transcended the physical world. How can it be nurtured?"

"That's right. If the spirit can be cultivated by external forces, then what are we cultivating? What is the Dao? There is no need to select geniuses or true disciples. No matter what stupid garbage or fools, throw them into his furnace. Those who are not burned to death will cultivate their spirits and become the innate bodies of the mixed primordial world."

All the Taoists burst into laughter and said that this was absolutely impossible.

It goes against common sense.

"Ji boy, with only a little bit of Taoism, isn't it against common sense for him to cultivate a magic weapon? The founder said that the laws of nature are always changing, and water has no fixed shape. How can anything in the world remain unchanged?" It was the ancestor Xue Guangfa who felt that this was possible.

Although others did not agree with this statement, they became more and more curious about Ji Yuan's behavior.

They had no choice but to pay attention to Ji Yuan's every move.

You know, Ji Yuan has mastered the Bagua Furnace, which is a mysterious treasure that is not inferior to the Suihuang Zhaotian Mirror, but even more precious than it.

Such a precious treasure, in the hands of a young disciple who has not yet overcome the three disasters, has not yet achieved the Tao, and has not yet shown great supernatural powers, is like a child holding gold.

So even though the storm has subsided, how could the senior leaders of the church not care at all?

There is a faction that supports Ji Yuan and thinks highly of him; they secretly watch over him and protect him at all times to prevent anyone from plotting to harm him.

The group that is greedy for the magic weapon is lurking in the dark corners, fanning the flames, not showing it on their faces, but in fact they are staring at it closely.

There were also those who wanted to curry favor with Ji Yuan, thinking that he had a promising future and wanted to get close to him, and they also got involved.

Anyway, it can be said that since that day when he won the bet with the senior ancestors of the sect, it was agreed that the magic weapon would be in the hands of Ji Yuan. He would go into seclusion for several years to practice and comprehend the magic weapon before returning to the cave heaven.

The Sky Mirror stands on the sacred Kunwu Mountain. It monitors all suspicious people inside and outside Kunwu, as well as Ji Yuan's actions in the cave for twelve hours a day.

Here, Ji Yuan was studying the "Ruyi Zhenfu" internally, but the magic mirror could not show anything. The ancestors and the head teachers did not pay any attention to it, and just thought that he was meditating and submitting.

But when Ji Yuan took out the iron seal magic weapon and the innate spiritual jade, and threw the two treasures into the furnace, everyone who was watching Ji Yuan through the sky mirror was shocked.

Everyone wants to know what Ji Yuan's specific purpose is in doing this.

.........

Dayan Cave, Lingtai Peak.

"Why don't you return it quickly? You can't steal this thing! It only brings trouble to your family. If your aunt and grandfather find out, they will break your legs." Looking at the Binyu Gold Seal, Ji Yuan was speechless.

This golden seal is not some magic weapon, but it is the most important weapon in Kunwu Mountain. It is the great seal passed down by the headmaster.

Many decrees must be stamped with this great seal to be effective, and it can be used at any time to mobilize the entire sect, from the Taoist masters to the ordinary disciples.

There are also many spiritual realms, treasure houses, etc., which require this seal to open.

No wonder this girl could enter Dayan Cave directly without Jingyuan's permission.

It turns out that he relied on the golden seal of the headmaster.

Yin Yaoer was not afraid when she heard this. She raised her head and said, "Humph, I didn't steal it. I received the order from the headmaster this time and brought this seal to see you."

"You came to see me in accordance with the master's order?" Ji Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Yeah, look at what you are doing." Yin Yaoer put her hands behind her back and walked around the Bagua furnace with a burning look in her eyes.

"So many cloud-patterned thunder scrolls and these red books and jade characters are all fire-related Taoist magic. Whoever can comprehend one or two of them can obtain the secret art of fire!" Yin Yaoer's eyes were shining, and she wished she could throw herself on the Bagua furnace and comprehend it hard.

"What can I do? If you don't tell the truth, I will have to take you out." Ji Yuan snorted.

Now he just wanted to retreat and comprehend the Eight Trigrams and the Ruyi Talisman, and had no intention of getting involved in those mundane matters.

These were also previously permitted by the seniors and the headmaster of the sect.

So after returning to the spiritual realm of the cave, there were not only my former peers and good friends, but also my uncles and aunts.

Even the two Dao Miao realm uncle masters from Dayan Peak, Dan Ling and Chi Ling, just watched from afar and did not dare to disturb Ji Yuan.

"To be honest, I just came to see what you were doing." Yin Yaoer felt a little aggrieved. She was indeed here on the orders of the headmaster.

"See? Now you can go back and report, right?" Ji Yuan didn't want to pay attention to her and sat on the cushion by himself.

With a pointed finger, the Bagua furnace concealed its spiritual light, and all the cloud patterns and thunder seals disappeared, turning into bronze and gray.

Yin Yaoer could no longer comprehend any Taoism from it.

She was a little frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.

He stamped his feet and said angrily, "How petty! You can't even look at your stove, but you hate me so much?"

Seeing Ji Yuan busy counting his fingers and calculating, lying on the cushion, or pulling at his collar, or adjusting his sleeves, he simply ignored her.

She was also bored, so she could only say, "The headmaster and the ancestors asked me to ask you, why did you put the iron seal and the jade into the furnace just now? Wouldn't they be burned by the fire?"

"Did the master really ask you to come?" Ji Yuan finally took it to heart and stood in awe.

"Yeah, I'm not like you. I don't lie."

However, all the senior teachers under the Dongtian Divine Mountain wanted to ask, but they had promised Ji Yuan before that he would be given time to meditate in seclusion and comprehend the magic weapon, and they would not disturb him before he came out of seclusion.

They couldn't bring themselves to lose face, but couldn't help being curious, so a group of old ancestors urged the master to come and ask.

The head master now only wants to make friends with Ji Yuan; he would never think of relying on his own status to disturb and make enemies with the future number one genius of Xuanwei who is in charge of magic weapons before the situation becomes clear.

But he had no choice but to do it because of the urging of the ancestor above, and the headmaster himself was also a little curious, so he came up with an idea.

Yin Yaoer, who grew up with Ji Yuan in Yuntai Taoist Temple and was currently facing the wall to reflect on her mistakes, came directly to Ji Yuan with his seal as the headmaster to ask questions.

This way, it should not disturb Master Ji's practice of the Bagua Furnace, nor would it be considered a violation.

This is what the headmaster thought.

……

“Yao’er, go back and report to the senior teachers and the head master that I am practicing with magic weapons.” Ji Yuan’s eyes turned and he said slowly.

Originally I wanted to talk about refining the 'magic weapon'.

Fearing that this word might sound too shocking, he temporarily changed his words and just said it was a ritual to practice a "magic weapon".

"What! Refining a magical instrument? How do you do that? Use fire to burn it?" Yin Yaoer was stunned and didn't react at all.

Seeing Ji Yuan nodded affirmatively.

She leaped forward and tried to open the furnace to look inside, but was brushed away by Ji Yuan's sleeve.

"Puff", a gust of wind blew and knocked her head upside down, catching her off guard.

"You're courting death! The fire in the furnace is so fierce that even a little bit of it can melt gold and iron. I don't even dare to get close to you. Are you looking for death?" Ji Yuan shouted harshly.

The Bagua Furnace merely restrained its divine light and appeared gray and dull, but the flames within it were still raging fiercely.

If a person gets close to the wind outlet of the eight orifices and looks, his flesh and blood body will be burned to ashes in an instant if a trace of fire is blown out of the furnace.

Ji Yuan himself certainly dared to step forward without any hindrance, but if other people, objects, livestock, or even invisible spirits, ghosts, and immortal thoughts stepped forward, it would not be certain.

It's like a pot of boiling hot oil, which looks like a basin of cold water when placed somewhere, without smoke or steam, and is very inconspicuous. But once you touch it, you will know how powerful it is.

Even the great Taoist ancestors of various sects could not send their thoughts into the furnace through the air.

As soon as one enters the furnace, billions of overlapping fierce smoke and divine fire gather together, directly burning away even the empty thoughts.

That's why he sent someone here specifically to inquire about the secret of the Bagua furnace.

"I just want to take a look." Yin Yaoer pouted in grievance, but she also knew her own power, so she restrained herself a little and dared not to be presumptuous again.

"Your fire refining method, is it to cultivate the embryo of a magical instrument, or to cultivate a magical instrument? How long will it take to cultivate it?"

"Of course it's a magic weapon. If there is a standard model and all the materials are complete, and I am skilled in it, it will take three to five months at the fastest, and seven to eight years at the slowest." Ji Yuan said calmly.

But Ji Yuan suddenly had an idea.

Thinking that I am now like a child holding gold and attracting much attention, it is not easy for me to go out and look for treasures.

But now he had the advantage of having the status of a true disciple, the protection of the sect, and the support of a group of seniors.

Then exposing the treasure refining technique that we are concerned about first will no longer be a problem.

At least on the surface, no one dares to harm him.

Then I can take this opportunity to provide some simple magical instruments for the sect to practice.

In this process, you can not only quickly become familiar with the Bagua Furnace, but also comprehend the art of refining treasures.

You can also harvest some precious spiritual treasures, which can be used to practice the many magic weapons in the mythological atlas in large quantities.

All the supernatural powers, big and small, were realized one by one.

……

Dongtian Shenyue.

The conversation between Ji Yuan and Yin Yaoer was recorded exactly as it was, even their voices were projected out from the Mirror.

"So he was training to create the embryo of a magical weapon! Oh, we should have thought of it earlier." Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder the spiritual jade and iron seal have to be thrown into the furnace for smelting.

No one was too surprised.

But until I heard Ji Yuan say: "It's not an embryo, but a real Dharma instrument. It will take a few months at the fastest and seven or eight years at the slowest."

"Clang!" "Crack!" Chopsticks and cups kept falling down at the table. Everyone in the Dao Miao group stood up without caring about losing their composure.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can there be such a method? I have never heard of it and I have never seen it. I don't believe it." Seeing the gleaming eyes in everyone's eyes, Captain Yin was the first to shake his head.

As someone who possesses a magic weapon, he knows too well how difficult it is to practice it.

Even magical instruments are not that simple.

Using fire to forge, without relying on breathing, meditation, and cultivation, and without relying on the guidance of true methods, to quickly complete a magic instrument in a few months or years, this method is almost unheard of.

In the past, in the cultivation world, people practiced magic tools.

There are several common methods.

For example, the first type uses waste materials and uses water grinding, sand grinding, and air forging to carefully hammer and polish them into shape. Then, holding it in the hand, practicing with Taoism and talismans, it may take thirty to fifty years to achieve success.

It may take hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve the goal.

Whatever the accomplishment of a magical instrument is, and whatever restrictions are created by it, will never change.

This is called the water refining method. It is superior and faster.

Another example is the "divine forging" method.

For example, you need to refine swords, knives, bags, gourds, gold picks, etc.

First find a craftsman, chant the mantra and recite the formula, gather all the energy, and order the craftsman to hammer and forge it into shape.

If it is an innate spiritual treasure that cannot be forged into a system by external forces, it will be directly stored in the body for warming.
Anyway, in the future, you will hold it in your hand or carry it on your body, day and night.

With the breathing, the human spirit gradually merges with the treasure, and gradually becomes more and more penetrated, like an arm.

In this way, no matter whether it is a sword, gun, knife or other sharp weapon, or a gourd, clothes, or brocade bag, it can be controlled to fly into the sky and change; it can soar through the clouds and fog and disappear without a trace.

This is called the 'Divine Forging Method', which is a secret teaching of the six sects of Xuanmen. It is the most superior and best method, and even the cultivation of magic weapons uses this method.

And there are two advantages.

One is that the treasure made in this way is very consistent with the magic, supernatural powers, and Taoism that one has cultivated.

For example, when practicing fire magic, you breathe in and out and concentrate your thoughts. What you see is a breath of fire. The breathing method you practice becomes a magic weapon, which can naturally be used to emit and control flames.

There are also disadvantages.

The effect is just very slow, just like grinding an iron rod into a needle, which is a very time-consuming process.

Not to mention thirty or fifty years, even three to five hundred years,

Even three to five thousand years may not be effective.

Even if one does not have the opportunity or luck, wanting to achieve the unity of body and mind, and to disappear from sight, is a delusion that can only be encountered but not achieved in a lifetime.
