Tian Xiaoding received a communication talisman from Ouyang Qing and learned that Ouyang Qing was in trouble in Tiansha City and needed Xiaoding to rescue him.
Before setting off, Xiao Ding still needs to make some preparations in advance.
After returning to Dazhao Peak from Dongzhao Peak with Zhang Xiaodie, Xiaoding took Zhang Xiaodie into the Qiankun Pot.
I haven't entered the Qiankun Pot for many days, but the situation in the Qiankun Pot remains the same.
Should the demon beast followers practice or practice hard? The Bagua Weapon Spirit has nothing to do and only needs to take care of the various spiritual plants in the Qiankun Pot. The little fox Ahri, after returning to her original form, still likes to sleep during the day and only gets up to practice at night.
Like Ahri, who started practicing at night, there was also the Aladdin magic lamp hiding in the shadow at the foot of the mountain. He hid in the soul-catching gourd during the day and came out at night to practice the ghost clan's techniques.
Although Aladdin's magic lamp only has his soul left, he can also transform into a human form as long as he practices the ghost skills to a certain level.
Xiao Ding led Zhang Xiaodie directly to the casting room.
The Li Wang Cauldron for alchemy, the Hao Furnace for weapon refining, and other commonly used tools or materials for alchemy and weapon refining are placed in the casting room.
The items placed next to the alchemy furnace are mainly various bottles and jars. The items placed here in the refining furnace are mainly various refining materials.
Xiao Ding first refined several batches of commonly used elixirs.
In fact, he did not lack elixirs, but the elixirs he had refined before were of relatively low levels, and could be used by monks in the Qi training period. Now that he has reached the level of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen, if he continues to use the previous elixir, it is obviously not enough.
This time, Xiao Ding refined several furnaces of commonly used elixirs such as mid-to-high-level spiritual energy pills, recovery pills, and detoxification pills. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaodie on the side was very interested in alchemy. Therefore, Xiao Ding also taught Zhang Xiaodie the "Six Hours Pill Jue" he had mastered. As for how much she can learn, it depends on her talent.
Zhang Xiaodie has both wood and light roots. People with the wood element are naturally very sensitive to vegetation. She can understand the properties of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures without any teacher. At this point, she is on a par with Yue Yurou, because Yue Yurou also has the wood element. Tiangen is naturally very familiar with plants such as grass and trees.
In addition, although Zhang Xiaodie does not have the fire root like Xiao Ding, she does have the light root, which also belongs to the yang attribute. Although she is slightly inferior to the fire root in alchemy and weapon refining, if the light is If it gets extremely hot, it can catch fire. Therefore, the light system and the fire system are also inextricably linked.
In this way, Zhang Xiaodie will get twice the result with half the effort when learning alchemy, which will not be as difficult as when Ouyang Qing learned alchemy.
Ouyang Qing originally studied alchemy and weapon refining with Xiao Ding. Later, because she had an ice element, she could only learn some superficial skills and was unable to develop further. In the end, she was forced to give up and learn Xiao Ding instead. Ding's formation technique.
Whether it is Ouyang Qing or Zhang Xiaodie, to Xiao Ding, they are both his women. Whatever they want to learn, Xiao Ding will spare no effort to teach them.
As the saying goes, if you have many skills, you will not be overwhelmed. If you learn one more skill, you will have one more ability to survive. No one knows which skills will be used in the future on the journey of cultivation.
After refining the elixir, Xiao Ding went to refine the robes. This time Zhang Xiaodie had no interest in refining weapons.
So, Xiao Ding asked her to refine the spirit sword that was given to her before for her own use.
That spiritual sword was accidentally obtained by Xiao Ding when he was on Earth. It comes from the Jianghu Sect Spirit Sword Villa on Earth. The sword comes with its own sword spirit. The user needs to reach the foundation building stage before he can surrender the sword spirit in the sword.
The weapons Zhang Xiaodie used before were always the black wood sword and black wood shield that Xiao Ding refined for her using the main materials of flat wood that had been struck by ten thousand years of lightning. Now that Zhang Xiaodie has reached the stage of Foundation Establishment Perfection, she can naturally refine and use that spiritual sword.
Regarding refining this spiritual sword, Zhang Xiaodie was the first lady to get on the sedan chair. Although she has reached the completion stage of the minor spells she learned during her Qi training period, she basically stays at the practice stage for each spell.
This is the first time for this operation.
If you want to refine a spiritual sword, the spell you need to use is naturally the ritual refining technique.
Although Xiao Ding knew that it was the first time for Zhang Xiaodie to use the sacrificial refining technique to refine the spirit sword, he did not interfere too much and went to refine the robe alone.
The master leads me in. Cultivation is personal. You still need to walk your own path, and the same goes for cultivation. Many things need to be experienced personally in order to achieve greater gains.
Xiao Ding is now refining the robes, but there are no good materials. Basically all the materials he obtained before have been used up. Now the only material left that can be used to refine the robes is the skin of the water cold snake. After all, he kept a lot of water snakes in the small lake in his Qiankun Pot, and he had no shortage of such snake skins.
However, although there are many water snakes in the small lake, they are all ordinary water snakes and have not become monsters. Therefore, their snake skins are inferior to those of the water cold snakes that become monster beasts.
However, there is no other way, and we can only make do with it for the time being. Fortunately, Xiao Ding still has some materials for refining the armor.
Last time, he refined a robe and a battle armor for Zhang Xiaodie. The robe was used to withstand the foundation-building thunder calamity and was destroyed, but the battle armor was still there. Xiao Ding only needs to refine a suit of armor for himself.
However, Xiao Ding almost never wears armor. He likes to wear more robes. After all, the cassock is softer and not so heavy when worn on the body, making it more comfortable.
After Xiao Ding finished refining two robes and one battle armor, he saw that Zhang Xiaodie had already finished refining the spirit sword and was sitting in front of Li Wangding, eager to try, as if he wanted to try refining elixir himself.
Seeing Xiao Ding coming over, Zhang Xiaodie took the lead and said, "Ms. sir, have you finished refining it?"
Xiao Ding nodded and replied: "Yes, I have finished refining it. Is your spirit sword ready?"
Zhang Xiaodie also nodded and replied: "It's refined. There is a sword spirit in that spiritual sword. I sacrificed it twice before it became obedient and accepted me as its master. I named it Xiaoling... …Ms. sir, I’ll ask it to come out and show it to you...” As she spoke, Zhang Xiaodie took out the spiritual sword from the pendant space with a thought, and then she shouted to the spiritual sword: “Little Ling, come here and meet your master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the spiritual sword in Zhang Xiaodie's hand suddenly stood upright, with the hilt pointing up and hanging in the air. It shook it towards Zhang Xiaodie for a few times, as if it was bowing, and actually said: "Master, I only recognize you now. I don't know any other male masters."
The voice was like that of a five or six-year-old child. Xiao Ding knew that there was a sword spirit hidden in that spiritual sword, but he didn't know that the sword spirit could actually make human sounds. He looked at the sword, moving around on its own like a person, and felt very strange.
Zhang Xiaodie advised, "Your master is my husband. Since you recognize me, you must also recognize him."
However, the spirit sword did not buy it. It insisted: "We sword spirits can only recognize one person as our master, and we can only take orders from one master. As for your husband-in-law, that is just your husband-in-law. He has nothing to do with me." I won't recognize him even if it has the slightest relationship."
Zhang Xiaodie wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Xiao Ding on the side.
Xiao Ding said: "Forget it, if it doesn't want to recognize me, then there's no need to recognize me. As long as it can obey your command."
Although Xiao Ding has never seen sword spirits before, he has seen Bagua Weapon Spirits. He knew that no spiritual creature would recognize its owner casually.
The spirit race is different from humans, nor does it belong to the demon race, ghost race, or demon race. They are alive but do not need external material conditions such as breathing, food, and water to maintain life. Their lives are entrusted to a certain artifact. If the artifact is there, they will be there. If the artifact is destroyed, they will disappear with it.
The artifacts that can give birth to artifact spirits are all from a long time ago. New artifacts that have just been refined will not give birth to artifact spirits. Only those artifacts that have been around for a long time and have absorbed the essence of the aura of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, will derive artifact spirits.
From this we can know that the spiritual sword in Zhang Xiaodie's hand must be an older sword.
Zhang Xiaodie was a little helpless when she saw that the sword spirit of the Spirit Sword refused to meet Xiao Ding.
After listening to Xiao Ding's words, she had no choice but to give up and said to the spirit sword: "Since you refuse, you should enter my pendant space by yourself."
"Okay! Just follow the master's orders!" After saying that, the sword immediately turned into a bright light and flew into the space of the pendant hanging around Zhang Xiaodie's neck.
Space magic weapons usually cannot accommodate living creatures, such as humans and animals. But the sword spirit is neither human nor animal. As long as the sword exists, it will not die. Therefore, it is hidden in the sword. Putting the sword into the space magic weapon will not have any impact on the sword spirit.
"Ms. sir, I want to try to refine a few batches of elixirs. Do you think it's okay?" Zhang Xiaodie looked up at Xiao Ding's face and said expectantly.
Xiao Ding readily agreed and said, "Okay, if you want to make elixirs, then just do it. I've taught you the elixir formulas anyway, and you have to rely on yourself to practice them."
"Excellent, sir, I'm going to refine it now. Please help me get some alchemy materials. I know that there are many kinds of spiritual plants planted in the world inside your pot." Zhang Xiaodie said.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "No problem, I'll help you get it right now."
After saying that, Xiao Ding, like the Bagua Weapon Spirit, moved his mind and grabbed a few casually in the air with his hands, and then several kinds of spiritual plants fell into his hands.
Since the Qiankun Pot was upgraded, Xiao Ding also has the authority to control everything in the world inside the pot. Therefore, like the Bagua Weapon Spirit, he can control any item in the world inside the pot through his spiritual thoughts.
