Can Qi cultivators refine foundation-building spiritual weapons?
In theory, of course there is no problem. However, under normal circumstances, this is not very realistic.
To refine a foundation-building spiritual weapon, two prerequisites must be met.
The first prerequisite is that you must have the ability to refine foundation-level weapon refining materials. If the materials cannot be refined, then there is no need to refine the weapon.
This is naturally not a problem for Xu Ke by manipulating the Five Elements Formation and harnessing the aura of heaven and earth within a radius of five hundred miles to refine the foundation-level weapon refining materials.
The second prerequisite is that one must be able to establish a spiritual restraint in the embryo.
How do normal qi cultivators know what spiritual restraint is?
It is already remarkable to be able to practice according to the exercises, follow the gourd and draw the scoop, and with the help of the foundation-building pill, successfully succeed in building the foundation after many stumbling steps.
Only Xu Ke, who has done thorough research and completely understood the essence of Qi training, can master the "Spiritual Taboo" during the Qi training period.
This is the difference between "cultivating immortality" and "cultivating Taoism".
You know what it is, and you know why it is so. Only by practicing cultivation can we go further and walk more steadily.
In Xu Ke's view, monk is actually a knowledge-based profession.
Whether it is practicing Qi or refining alchemy, refining weapons, forming formations and drawing talismans, sufficient knowledge accumulation is required.
Otherwise, he is just a simple imitator who can only "cultivate immortality like a fool", or a "disabled" monk who must hold on to the "railing" to walk.
If there is no "railing", I don't know how to go.
What is Tao?
The ancient sages have said: Tao is in all things.
"Tao" is not an enigmatic "mysterious thing", but the fundamental principle of all things in the world.
Xu Ke opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling.
He let out a long breath of turbid air, and the energy and blood all over his body surged. The bones all over his body clicked, and the collision of the joints was like the clash of gold and iron, with an endless clanging sound.
"Yellow Turban Bodybuilding Technique (Second Level): Dacheng."
After this period of practice, Xu Ke's physical training has taken a further step forward, and he has officially achieved the physical vision of being "invulnerable to water and fire".
Invulnerable to water and fire, this is just a reference, it does not mean that it can only resist water and fire.
This physical phenomenon represents powerful spell resistance.
From then on, for ordinary spell attacks in the middle stage of Qi training, even if Xu Ke did not protect himself at all, he could rely on his body's own spell resistance to resist three or five spells without any problem.
Isn't it very fierce to resist three or five spells, rush forward, and deliver a bastard punch and a hammer?
However, the current body-refining cultivators still have a fatal flaw, that is... they cannot fly!
In the middle stage of Qi training, basically everyone has learned the art of wind control. Flying in mid-air, throwing spells, and flying kites are still very advantageous.
But... beware of being thrown directly from the sky by the body cultivator.
No more gossip.
Xu Ke took advantage and stood up.
Feeling the surging energy and blood in his body and the stronger physical strength, Xu Ke showed a smile on his face.
The further improvement in strength naturally makes people happy.
Next... we still need to refine the "Tool of Proving the Way".
Xu Ke took out the summons talisman and summoned Gao Zhengzheng.
"Senior Brother Gao, I need some materials. I will send you a list later. Please help me purchase them."
When Gao Zheng received the summons, he naturally agreed: "No problem, leave it to me!"
Afterwards, Xu Ke sent the list of required materials through the messenger.
These materials are a list of materials that Xu Ke selected based on the "material identification" knowledge he learned before, combined with the materials needed to refine the "Tool of Proof".
Gao Zheng received this list of materials and immediately sent another summons.
"Junior Brother Xu, do you want so many foundation-level weapon refining materials? Are there also materials with space-time attributes?"
"Yes, that's right."
Xu Ke nodded, "Can you buy these materials?"
"You can buy it. I've done some business with Tiangongfang and already have some friendship. It won't be a problem to purchase the materials for refining from them."
Gao Zhengzheng answered, and then said: "It's just...these materials are a bit expensive! You don't want to learn to refine weapons again, do you?"
"It takes a lot of materials to refine weapons. Did you use such good materials to practice your skills from the beginning? Even if you made some money before, it's not enough for you to burn so much money!"
"It's okay. Just buy it!"
Xu Ke smiled and said, "I know it well!"
"Fine!"
Gao Zhengzheng nodded, "I'll go to Tiangong Pavilion to buy the materials for you."
"Then I'll trouble Senior Brother Gao."
Xu Ke thanked him and ended the call with Gao Zhengzheng.
The material problem has been solved, and now we are waiting for Gao Zhengzheng to deliver it.
After getting up and walking out of the meditation room in the cave, Xu Ke observed the situation of the disciples in Bishuitan through the formation's spiritual induction when passing by the altar.
The identity badges of the Bishuitan disciples were all marked on the formation. Xu Ke could clearly see the position of each disciple through the formation.
These Bishuitan disciples basically practiced at home and did not do anything unusual.
That's good.
As a square official, Xu Ke is already a manager.
Managers are no longer the lone rangers that they were in the past who only had to take care of themselves and could ignore everything else, and their perspective on thinking about problems must also change accordingly.
From a manager's perspective, the people under his command are all part of his own strength.
Just like his predecessor, Bishuitanfang Zhengzhuang Yuting, he wanted to open up Hengduan Mountain. With just one order, all the people in Bishuitan followed him.
Now, if these new disciples in Bishuitan are managed well, they will also become soldiers and horses under Xu Ke's command, and they can also become one of the forces under Xu Ke's control.
To "lead troops", of course, it is impossible to only intimidate and deny benefits.
If there is no benefit, who will work for you?
"Preaching" is the bait Xu Ke puts out for fishing, or the cake he draws. With the existence of "preaching", ordinary interests are not enough to make these people "betray".
By preaching and even teaching exercises, Xu Ke can completely control these people.
Those who dare to betray will have no follow-up skills, and the price of betrayal will be very high.
(The reason why I write this is because some people don’t understand and specifically write down Xu Ke’s plan. The height of a manager and the height of a lone ranger are definitely different!)
Xu Ke is very satisfied with the current situation of the new disciples in Bishuitan.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Ke walked out of the cave and returned to Kunwu Academy. While practicing Qi, he waited for Gao Zhengzheng's arrival.
This is a day of waiting.
It was not until dusk that Gao Zhengzheng rode the machine-made green ox to the island in the middle of the lake.
"Junior Brother Xu, fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny and bought everything you asked for."
After entering, Gao Zhengzheng sat down in the main hall, "These materials total 460,000 spirit stones."
"The most expensive ones are the materials with space-time attributes. The Sky Ming Stone costs 80,000 pieces. The Eternal Light Water costs 100,000 drops. It's so incredibly expensive."
Gao Zhengzheng reached out and took out the storage bag and took out the foundation-level weapon refining materials that Xu Ke wanted.
"Excuse me, Senior Brother Gao."
Xu Ke reached out to take the materials and collected them one by one. Then he took out forty-six high-level spiritual stones and paid for the materials.
"Junior Brother Xu, if you really want to learn to refine weapons, use ordinary materials to practice! With these high-end products, if you fail once, hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones will be turned into ashes."
Gao Zhengzheng couldn't help but persuade again, "Even if you made a fortune before, it's not enough for you to burn so much money!"
"I understand, thank you Senior Brother Gao for your kindness."
Xu Ke smiled and replied, "I will definitely use ordinary materials to practice. Only when I am confident will I use these materials to refine weapons."
confident? Is the Qi Practitioner confident in refining the foundation-building spiritual weapon?
No matter how awesome your junior brother Xu is, he can't possibly have this ability, right?
Gao Zhengzheng didn't know what to say, and thought to himself: Formidable people like Junior Brother Xu are extremely confident, and he must be unable to persuade him.
When it comes time to run out of money, I still have some income here and can meet my spiritual needs.
As brothers, you can only help so much.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhengzheng stopped trying to persuade him and went into the utility room with Xu Ke. After purifying a batch of acquired materials, he said goodbye and left.
After Gao Zhengzheng left, Xu Ke picked up the materials and walked into the cave in the mountain.
Gao Zhengzheng was right. You can only practice with ordinary materials. No matter how rich you are, you won't burn hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones for fun.
But...I cheated!
After refining the Five Elements Wheel before and adding a hundred times the harvest, the refining of magical weapons was immediately completed, and the refining of spiritual weapons was also proficient.
With this skill, refining the "instrument of enlightenment" is no longer a problem.
Entering the weapon refining room, Xu Ke took out the materials for refining the "Proof Tool".
First, use the compass and Qi-gazing technique to test the aura data of each material. Then, Xu Ke used Xuanmen magic to calculate all the spiritual power manipulation and operation data during the weapon training process.
To successfully complete the refining of these foundation-level weapon refining materials, one must not be hasty.
After all, Xu Ke was only at the seventh level of qi training. Without the help of a large formation, he could not refine these materials with his own spiritual power.
Xu Ke must go through careful derivation and calculation to determine all the operating steps before Xu Ke dares to start refining the foundation-building spiritual weapon.
This is also the benefit of "cultivation".
The process of refining materials does not need to rely on feeling or experience at all, but there is an accurate process, and the process of refining spiritual weapons does not have so many variables.
Next, Xu Ke took out a piece of Taibai fine iron as the Yuan embryo for refining the weapon.
Then he activated the Five Elements Formation, called on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of five hundred miles, and began to refine the materials.
The blazing flames surged up, and the Taibai fine iron gradually melted into a ball of molten iron.
It is different from the previous steps of refining the Five Elements Wheel.
This time, after Xu Ke refined Taibai Fine Iron, he squeezed his fingers to drive his own spiritual power and turned it into metallic spiritual power. He laid a metallic rune ring in the molten iron of Taibai Fine Iron.
This is because the material used to refine the Five Elements Wheel was so poor that it could not bear the spirit ban even after it was split. It can only be formed as a whole and slowly cultivated, and maybe it can be transformed into a spiritual prison.
The materials being refined now are all foundation-level materials, which is naturally much more convenient.
After the metallic rune ring was poured into the molten iron, the powerful metallic aura contained in the Taibai fine iron quickly integrated into the rune ring.
With Xu Ke's refining, all the metallic aura in the Taibai fine iron was integrated into the rune ring.
A powerful sharp energy circulates in the molten Taibai fine iron, and the prototype of spiritual imprisonment has already taken shape.
The first step went very well.
Immediately, Xu Ke refined the water-attributed Canglang crystal according to the order of the five elements, and at the same time inserted the water-attributed rune ring.
These rune rings are naturally the rune structure of the mutual seal attribute separated from the rune rings of the foundation building method deduced by Xu Ke.
Metal can generate water, and the water-attributed rune rings merge into the Taibai refined iron melt, merging with the originally existing metallic rune rings to form a new rune structure.
The second step was completed successfully.
Next, Xu Ke continued to refine new materials according to the order of the five elements.
While refining each material, Xu Ke also punched in a ring of runes that matched each other, blended into the molten Taibai fine iron, and blended with the original rune structure.
Each time a piece of material is added, the difficulty of the operation increases by one point.
The most critical issue is that when the rune structures are integrated with each other, there can be no mistakes.
The slightest mistake will lead to the failure of the weapon refining. Hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones will be turned into fly ash. It may even blow up Xu Ke to ashes.
This is not a simple blast.
If it really explodes, it will be equivalent to the power of a single blow from a foundation-building monk.
If there was no Five Elements Formation to protect him at any time, how could Xu Ke dare to perform such a dangerous operation? Are you really not afraid of being blown up?
Fortunately, the preliminary preparation work was very thorough, the derivation and calculations were also very thorough, and Xu Ke's spiritual power manipulation was also very precise, so he practiced smoothly all the way.
But...it also takes a lot of time.
Xu Ke worked hard for four days and four nights before finally refining and fusing the ten materials.
In the end, two materials of space-time attributes were left.
You have to be more careful in the next operation, and you can't make any mistakes.
Once a material with space-time properties explodes, I really don’t know what terrible things will happen.
Xu Ke took a deep breath, calmed down, took out the space-attributed Kongming Stone, and started refining it.
The Kongming Stone melted smoothly, and Xu Ke also successfully penetrated a rune ring with space attributes.
Thanks to the flash sword technique and instant sword technique of Wanxiang Guiyuan Sword Art, otherwise, Xu Ke might not be able to control the spiritual power of time and space attributes.
After successfully entering the space runes, the next fusion is the most critical step.
Xu Ke carefully manipulated the large array of spiritual power, driving the refined Kongming Stone to slowly approach the spiritual weapon Yuan Fei.
Space carries everything in the world.
This space-attributed rune must also wrap up all the previous rune ring structures, and all connection points must be connected at the same time in an instant.
Fortunately, Xu Ke had already made derivation calculations and determined the operation steps.
Xu Ke accurately controlled the movement of spiritual power and covered the space rune structure on the Yuan Fei. As soon as he thought about it, it was connected instantly without any accidents.
"call……"
Xu Ke took a long breath and finally succeeded.
The next Zhouguang Water does not require additional refining, and the rune structure of the time attribute can be directly inserted into it. This operation was completed successfully.
Time flows through everything in the world.
The refining and fusion of Zhouguang Water is actually the simplest.
Xu Ke used his magic power to turn the Zhouguang water that built the rune structure into a stream of light, which instantly penetrated into the embryo of the spiritual weapon that was beginning to take shape.
Time is like water, instantly blending into the spiritual weapon Yuan Fei.
The next moment, runes lit up one after another, and a dazzling aura rose into the sky.
The rune structure after the twelve splits was instantly constructed into a whole, turning into a rune circle formed by Xu Ke's fusion of three techniques.
The huge spiritual power contained in the twelve foundation-building materials instantly merged into one, turning into Hunyuan Qi, revealing a powerful spiritual pressure.
Before Xu Ke could shape the spiritual weapon, the spiritual weapon's embryo instantly turned into a ring-shaped jade.
The texture is like jade, with mysterious textures condensed on the surface that look like they were made from nature, exuding a mysterious and mysterious aura.
"It's done! The weapon of enlightenment is ready!"
Xu Ke stretched out his hand and picked up the jade-shaped spiritual weapon with a smile on his face.
The energy of Hunyuan circulates endlessly in the ring-shaped jade bi.
It goes round and round, endlessly, without beginning or end, endlessly.
"This is the Hunyuan Qi Taichu Talisman!"
The word Taichu is a bit big. However, it is also a beautiful wish.
