Mind Cultivation Record

"You want to make a sword!?"

"yes!"

"This piece of Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron is the congratulatory gift I received at the Danqiu Yuanying Dharma Ceremony, right? I didn't expect it to be in your hands! Could this be the Heavenly Meteor Star Crystal formed by mixing the Milky Way Star Sand and the Heavenly Meteor Fire Spirit Crystal? What a pity! Two good eighth-level spiritual materials were wasted! As for this exquisite gold wire, although it is not precious, it is rich in weight, but it is rare... Wait, don't you think you want to refine it? The Heavenly Star Geomagnetic Flying Sword, right?

"Senior has unparalleled discernment!"

"You kid! You came to me at such a juncture, are you afraid that I won't help you refine the sword at another time? But this time you miscalculated! I can't refine this sword!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, because the scholar said he couldn't practice, not that he refused to practice!

"You should know that my weapon-refining spirit fire is the sixth-level cold flame blue ice flame. After being blessed by the weapon-refining tripod, the sixth-level spiritual fire can also be used to process seventh-level spiritual materials, but the one you took out Both of these spiritual materials are not suitable for processing with cold flame! If the grade is one level lower, I am sure that the spirituality of the spiritual material will not be harmed. However, the seventh-level spiritual material is rare. If it is forcibly refined with Blue Extreme Ice Flame, Transformation, I'm afraid the gain is not worth the loss! Let me tell you this, if it is refined properly, this flying sword will be a low-level magic weapon when it is made, but if I force it to be refined, I am afraid it will be a top-level magic weapon..."

Xiao Mian was stunned by the scholar's words and didn't know why.

Although there is only one level difference between the first-level magic weapon and the top-level magic weapon, the value of one is heaven and the other is earth, and their value is more than ten times different.

Xiao Mian was happy for a while when he got these spiritual materials, but he didn't expect that in the end it would be like this - even the top scholar in Wan Zong City's weapon refining couldn't do it!

"What's your expression like? Although I can't refine the flying sword you expected, it doesn't mean that others can't! I have a senior brother, and the spiritual fire he uses to refine the weapon is the sixth-level 'Star Core Explosive Flame' , If you let him refine this flying sword, you can get twice the result with half the effort! But..." Seeing Xiao Mian's eager face when he said this, the scholar sighed softly: "He doesn't have long life, but if there is a secret from the Bai family! Life-sustaining pill..."

Bai family? It’s the Bai family again!

"If you can get a life-sustaining pill from the Bai family, I will promise to help you refine your sword!"

The scholar said it lightly, but it made Xiao Mian frown: Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this life-extending pill is absolutely extraordinary. All pills that can extend people's life are above the fifth grade. Besides, even people like scholars do not have life-extending elixirs, which shows that the elixirs are either very small in quantity or extremely rare, or most likely both.

"Senior! Are you forcing me to go to the Bai family?"

"I didn't expect you to be able to find these seventh-level spiritual materials to make a sword, but my senior brother does not have long life, and your sword must be made by him..."

The scholar has never been good at trickery. If he thought about it carefully, his words and deeds seemed to be meant to force Xiao Mian into submission, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Xiao Mian was relieved when he saw this. If the scholar really tried his best to force him into the Bai family, he might just slap his ass and leave.

After all, it doesn't matter if you can't refine the flying sword in Nanyue State. You can go to other states to refine it, but it's not worth it if you risk your life.

Thinking again about the scholar begging Wan Zongsheng to come to him, Xiao Mian could also feel the scholar's good intentions. Suddenly, he remembered something, and Xiao Mian was silent in thought.

"Let's put aside the matter of sword refining for the moment. I dare to ask senior, what is so unique about the skin of the ten-thousand-year-old fire beast that it cost the Bai family a huge sum of five hundred thousand souls?"

"Is this what you are talking about?" While Xiao Mian was stunned, a piece of fiery red animal skin appeared in the scholar's palm. It was the fire beast skin passed down from Xiao Mian's hand. The scholar explained: " After the auction ended that night, Boss Bai brought this thing to me. Of course, he didn't give it to me for free. He asked me to help him refine an auxiliary magic weapon. He is trying to make progress by retreating! "

"As far as I know, at the auction at that time, the only people bidding for this piece of animal skin were Mr. Bai Da and Senior Wenyuan. Could it be that this thing..."

"That's right! If it is an ordinary animal skin, it can only be used to refine some defensive weapons. Even if it is a ten thousand year animal skin, it can only increase a little defensive power. But the fire beast skin is different! Although the fire beast itself is weak, it only It is a second-level spiritual beast, but its innate magical power is the art of controlling fire, and for us weapon refiners or alchemists, the art of controlling fire is precisely the most important auxiliary spell! Although the skin has some flaws, it is well preserved and has obviously been sealed in a fire-attribute secret realm. It has indeed reached the ten thousand-year state, and it can be called a treasure! "

"Mr. Bai Da has such a deep scheming! He immediately sent this piece of animal skin to senior, and explicitly asked senior for help. Given your character, senior, since you agreed to him, it is naturally impossible for you to go back on your promise to enrich yourself. It saves him the trouble!"

"That's why I said he was taking retreat in order to advance!"

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and then continued to ask for a long time.

"What can it refine?"

"It is possible to refine a top-level magic weapon-level 'fire-proof hand guard', which can ward off fire and allow alchemists or weapon refiners to control flames more freely and refine spiritual materials! If Boss Bai has this thing to assist him, his success rate in alchemy will increase by about 30%!" The scholar shook his head and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that this piece of animal skin is too small and the quality is not very good. Otherwise, if a piece of red dragon scale armor can be found to assist, it will be enough to refine a primary-level magic weapon-level 'Nine Dragons Fire Control Arm'!"

Xiao Mian's heart moved after hearing this, but he didn't say anything else.

After that, Xiao Mian asked the scholar about some difficult problems in cultivation. Many of the problems that usually troubled Xiao Mian's cultivation were immediately cleared up.

"May I ask, senior, when does a cultivator in the foundation-building stage enter the golden elixir stage?"

"There is a saying in the cultivation world: when the true essence exceeds half, a small heavenly tribulation will come; when the divine thoughts exceed ten thousand, a big heavenly tribulation will come! In short, when the true essence in the cultivator's body reaches half of the total true qi, the balance between true qi and true essence will be broken, and all the true qi in the cultivator's body will spontaneously transfer to true essence. When all the true qi in the cultivator's body is transformed into true essence, it is the time for the small heavenly tribulation to come. As for the second half of the sentence, you are still far away!"

"When the true essence exceeds half, a small heavenly tribulation will come; when the divine thoughts exceed ten thousand, a big heavenly tribulation will come? Senior means that in order to break through the stage of forming a elixir, more than half of the true qi in the body must be converted into true essence in one go? How much true qi is equivalent to one point of true essence?"

"Normally, one point of true essence is equivalent to the total amount of true qi contained in a meridian. In other words, the total amount of true qi in a cultivator's body is about twelve points of true essence."

Twelve points of true essence?

Doesn't that mean that if there are six points of true essence in a cultivator's body, it can trigger a small heavenly tribulation? But I clearly have ten points of true essence in my body!

What's going on?

Although he was puzzled, Xiao Mian did not dare to tell the scholar about this.

After saying goodbye to the scholar, Xiao Mian left the teleportation array under the guidance of Kong Yuanren. As expected, he saw that the Jade Hoe Patriarch was still waiting there. Xiao Mian hurriedly caught up with him. After bidding farewell to Kong Yuanren, the old man and the young man returned to the courtyard.

That night, Xiao Mian and the Jade Hoe Patriarch had a long secret meeting.

No one knew what the old man and the young man discussed, but they only knew that his hearty laughter came from the Jade Hoe Patriarch's quiet room several times that night.

After saying goodbye to the Jade Hoe Patriarch, it was almost dawn. Xiao Mian, who returned to his quiet room, did not stop, but called Guitou and discussed it carefully.

"When the true essence exceeds half, the small heavenly tribulation will come? When the divine thoughts exceed ten thousand, the big heavenly tribulation will come? This statement is quite new! However, there is absolutely no such statement in our era. After devouring Lu Jiu's soul, I remembered a lot of things. The cultivators of my era could easily cultivate to the level of transformation of spirits, and therefore the heavenly tribulation of infant condensation is even more of a piece of cake. However, in my opinion, there should be two reasons why you have not encountered the small heavenly tribulation after condensing ten points of true essence: one is that the total amount of true energy in your body is far better than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level by practicing the "Three Pure Ones Bible"; the other is that you have practiced the eight extraordinary meridians!"

The ghost head's words awakened Xiao Mian from his dream, and Xiao Mian suddenly understood.

Putting aside the "Three Pure Ones Bible", Xiao Mian, who has combed and practiced the eight extraordinary meridians, is equivalent to having a total amount of true energy of twenty points of true essence.

In this way, if Xiao Mian wants to trigger the small heavenly tribulation, he must at least condense ten points of true essence in his body. If the Three Pure Ones Bible is taken into consideration, it may be more than that!

After coming to this conclusion, Xiao Mian immediately stopped his efforts to condense his true essence. Now that Wanzong City was full of enemies, it was not a good time to overcome the tribulation.

As a result, Xiao Mian had to shift the focus of his practice to the hard work of "Soul Separation Method" and the hard work of "Five Elements Sword Canon".

"Five Elements Sword Canon" is profound and is the first sword technique passed down by the Five Elements Sect for ten thousand years. It is not just a sword technique. In addition, "Five Elements Sword Canon" is very compatible with the Five Spirit Sword and Xiao Mian's five elements. Naturally, Xiao Mian will not waste it.

What's more rare is that even Guitou highly praises "Five Elements Sword Canon".
