No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 83 Going down the mountain
The process by which monks use different materials to refine magical instruments is called "refining instruments".

The Dragon-trapping Stake made from spiritual wood is a weapon for refining, and the Flying Hammer made from spiritual iron is also a weapon for refining.

Refining a flying boat that flies in the sky is still refining a weapon. Refining a ground boat that drills into the soil and rocks is naturally refining a weapon.

Refining equipment is a very broad concept, just like decoration. Plumbing and electricity are also decoration, plastering is also decoration, tiling is also decoration, and making cabinets is also decoration.

Therefore, refining equipment not only tests the skills, techniques, and experience of the refiner, but also requires a good understanding of the power of heaven and earth in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Many years ago, Zi Geng explained to Xu Shun how the shuttle flew, which made Xu Shun realize that refining equipment was not that simple.

He used to think that refining equipment was very scientific, until he came into contact with refining equipment, and then he found that although refining equipment was scientific, it was not very scientific.

When it comes to refining equipment, I still do more "thinking".

For example, to refine the "Green Wood Divine Needle", one needs to select a spiritual tree with a diameter of half a person's height, engrave a spell on the tree, and then use the cultivator's true fire to refine it for 49 days. Finally, the tree can be refined to be as big as a mountain or as small as an embroidery needle before it is considered successful.

During this process, the spiritual wood was refined by true fire for many days without burning, which went against common sense.

Rather than saying that it takes many days of rituals and refinements, it is better to say that the monk uses his magic power to turn the magic weapon into an extension of "I", branding it with the mark of "I", causing those cold and dead objects to undergo essential changes, so that after the magic weapon is formed, it has various functions.

This is Xu Shun's experience in refining equipment after he came into contact with it and spent a lot of green silver to buy materials.

He also didn't know whether his experience in refining weapons was right or wrong.

The way ordinary people, low-level monks, and ascended monks look at the world are all different.

What feels right now may not mean it will be right in the future.

As for the magic weapon refined by Xu Shun... it's the set of yellowish clay tea set on his desk.

A teapot and four teacups can be used to warm tea, and the effect is comparable to the heating tea set bought online for a few dozen dollars before traveling through time.

It took Xu Shun several years and a lot of materials and silver to make this. If it weren't for Lan Daoren's card, Xu Shun would never have tried to refine the weapon.

Refining equipment is really too expensive.

However, after seeing this set of tea sets, Taoist Lan admired Xu Shun's talent in refining tools and suggested that he could study more.

Study the ball!

The money he invested in his research was enough to buy a hundred sets of such tea sets!

When it comes to refining equipment, he is not naturally talented at all. It is just that he has accumulated some experience in his previous life, which allows him to look at refining equipment from a different perspective.

After he failed many times, he suddenly changed his mind. He carved a spell with magic power inside the pottery. As long as he input the magic power, the spell would convert the magic power into heat energy to heat the tea.

Just like the thermally conductive nickel-chromium alloy inside electrical appliances before time travel.

This seemingly unorthodox method actually succeeded in the end.

I don’t know whether it is scientific or unscientific?

Is it "the power of my thinking" or "I didn't think"?
Doubt.Jpg.

However, he will study these issues after he has achieved a higher level of cultivation.

Now, he had more important things to do. He put the tranquility pill in his hand into a mutton-fat jade bottle and stuffed it into the bronze jade ring.

As for how many tranquility pills were in the jade bottle, he had not counted them carefully.

After that, he extinguished the alchemy furnace and began to clean up and pack some daily necessities.

He is getting ready to go down the mountain.

How can spiritual practice be smooth sailing?
When he reached the eighth level of spiritual enlightenment at an unprecedented speed, he encountered a bottleneck.

He encountered the same problem as the one he encountered in the City God Temple that year.

Under the command of the "god", the mana rolled like a forearm, and he could cast various spells at will, but he couldn't form a "tiger". He was still missing something.

So Taoist Lan suggested that he go down the mountain and take a walk and have a look.

Cultivation is about practice and action. It is not okay to just stay in the room.

After he had packed up, he came to the yard and found Master Lan waiting for him.

"Master, I have packed everything." Xu Shun said.

Lan Daoren's appearance was no different from twenty years ago, he still had two buns on his head, was shirtless, and had a big belly.

There was just a hint of murderous aura about him.

"The world of immortal cultivation has been in turmoil recently, so you'd better be careful." Taoist Lan said to Xu Shun.

Zi Cai is also beginning to step into the world of cultivators. What choice will he make in the future?
Hope you won’t be disappointed!
"Take this to protect yourself!" Taoist Lan said, handing over a small black jade sword.

"What is this?" Xu Shun said as he touched the small black jade sword that was only half a finger long.

"It is a protective magic weapon, hung around the neck, for self-defense. Once activated, a sword light will protect you. You will know the magic of it when the time comes." Lan Dao said, "The sword energy can only be activated once, so you must use it with caution."

"Lan Dai has a magic weapon called the Sword Qi Gourd, which can store a lot of sword qi. Once it is activated, it is like dozens of monks releasing sword qi together. Hundreds of sword qi are overwhelming and powerful. It's a pity that we still need that magic weapon, so we can't lend it to you for protection!" Lan Dao said regretfully.

No, mine feels like a musket, and the one you mentioned feels like a Gatling gun!

Xu Shun complained in his heart, pointed at the small black jade sword, and said, "I don't need that thing, this will do! Master knows me, I am an honest person, I never cause trouble."

"Once you're in the world, you can't decide for yourself! Just go!" Taoist Lan nodded, turned around and disappeared.

Today he gave two specific instructions.

He still has a lot of things to do. There are more and more immortals sneaking down from the fairyland, and he can't kill them all.

Xu Shun went down the mountain, but he didn't know what the result would be.

Perhaps, Xu Shun died in the world of immortal cultivation, and the master and disciple would never meet again.

Maybe, when Xu Shun comes back, he will ascend to the fairyland.

Maybe...Xu Shun will come back in a few years.

Who knows what will happen in the future?
The unknown future is interesting!

Xu Shun hung the black jade sword around his neck and saw Zi Su standing at the side of the courtyard.

Zishu has been impacting his soul and has been in seclusion for more than ten years. In the small courtyard, there are only him and Zisu.

At this time, Zi Su had already reached the third level of spiritual cultivation. In the past twenty years, the gap between him and Xu Shun had not narrowed, but widened instead.

He used to envy and be jealous of Zicai's cultivation speed, but later when the gap became bigger, he let it go.

How can he be compared to a pervert? He has his own practice.

"Have a safe trip, senior brother!" Zi Su said with a smile.

"Junior brother, see you later!" Xu Shun said to him with a smile.

So, Zi Su watched Xu Shun leave the yard and walk away.

The mountain road was winding. Zi Su stood there for a long time, watching Xu Shun's figure gradually become smaller. Finally, he turned around and disappeared from his sight.

After Xu Shun left, Zi Su was the only one left in the small courtyard in the mountains.
