171, the first preparation of a thousand crafts

Bai Shaoliu sat quietly on the white jade platform, with auspicious clouds lingering around his body gathering into a huge lotus shape. The white lotus slowly opened and closed and rotated to protect his body in the center of the lotus platform. Looking closely, Xiaobai had already risen in the air, sitting cross-legged with his legs without touching the ground, sitting on the heart of the lotus with its essence and energy condensed. He closed his eyes and curtains and really felt a bit of a fairy-like atmosphere, and his treasure was solemn.

Qingchen looked at Xiaobai with his eyes intently, with a gentle and happy look in his eyes. She was of course happy to see the handsome image of the lover. Baimao also blinked the donkey's eyes and looked at it, and his expression seemed to be a bitter smile or a mockery. Xiaobai's cultivation is now barely considered a master of cultivation, but it is nothing in the eyes of a great master like Baimao, but he is very frightening now, and he is simply a living Bodhisattva descending to earth.

If Xiaobai appeared in front of a group of foolish believers in this image, wouldn’t he betray everyone to burn incense? The White Lotus Sect has been circulating since ancient times and it seems that it is not unqualified. It doesn’t matter how profound this method is. At least this image packaging can confuse people. Even a mere Hong Hequan can create a brotherhood of worshipping God. It’s a lot of noise to cheat money and sex. So, wouldn’t Xiaobai, who has obtained the true teachings of the "White Lotus Secret Book", be much stronger than Hong Hequan if he wants to open an incense hall?

Of course, Xiaobai is not pretending to be cool, but refining weapons. Regardless of the way of refining weapons in each sect, the key step is inseparable from the "Samadhi True Fire" technique. There are many legends about Samadhi True Fire, and even seen in many mythological novels. Buddhists say Samadhi comes from the Sanskrit word "Samadhi", and its meaning is very broad, but most of them refer to "right-concentration mind". "True Fire" refers to the wisdom of the mind in correcting concentration. The way of refining weapons in each sect is named after this, but the mind methods are different.

Using Samadhi True Fire to refine weapons, it actually uses a pure thought. The mind of ordinary people is empty and unreal, but this Samadhi True Fire includes a great energy. It is free from all external troubles, and after the appearance of the soul, there are pure thoughts. After this pure thought appears, it has an external condition that has been cut off from the inside to the outside. This induction approaches the state of unity of mind and matter. Samadhi True Fire is the mind wisdom and magic power in the innate nature of mind and matter, and it can even change matter.

No matter whether you study the Taoist Dharma of each sect, you can use the "Samadhi True Fire". The only condition is to have the cultivation of "the appearance of the soul". Each sect may have different names for this, but the cultivation level is the same. After Xiaobai practices the "external realm and internal absorption" in the "Surface of Desire and Mind" in the "Surface of Desire and Mind", he practices the "reality" in the "Clean White Lotus Platform". If summarized in another concise language, he is five words - Li Yan and Mind.

What is the primordial spirit? It is difficult to explain clearly. It is the pure "I" that appears after peeling off the color. It is a pure "consciousness" that can be free from the constraints of the body and five senses. This state cannot be imagined out of thin air. It requires practical experience to understand. For example, Xiaobai, nowadays, uses the primordial spirit to produce Samadhi True Fire in the right concentration. This step is the most critical, mainly processing the purified and purified materials into the required shape with the mind. The characteristics of the material itself determine to a large extent what shape it is suitable for processing into and what wonderful uses it can play?

In the air three feet in front of Xiaobai, there was something floating in the air and was slowly changing. This object was less than three inches long, white, slightly curved in cone shape, very sharp tips, and extremely hard texture.

This hard and sharp curved cone is gradually becoming soft and transparent under the refining of the magic power of Samadhi True Fire, becoming a strange semi-fluid state, slowly elongating and flattening in the air, showing the outline of a dagger. At this time, it suddenly made a "pop" sound, and the white hair turned its head and jumped back far away. Qingchen stepped forward and the purple gold spear shook out a spear flower to face the air.

What's going on? It turned out that the objects in the air were about to take shape, but suddenly trembled like water droplets spreading, bursting into several balls, and an explosion of energy came to the surroundings. This was not the first time this happened. Qingchen was ready, and the shaking purple gold gun scattered the burst of energy in the air.

However, the Qingchen Gun Flower was shot out, and a white lotus petal flew out beside Xiaobai, wrapping the objects that exploded in the air. The petals changed in shape and turned into a white lotus. The heart of the flower was filled with a mercury-like liquid. The liquid gradually condensed in the center of the flower and turned into two beads the size of fingernails. The pink color was very beautiful.

Qingchen pulled his gun, the white lotus dissipated, and two beads fell into her hands. At this time, Xiaobai opened his eyes and said apologizing: "Sorry, this time the fire has passed, and another dragon tooth has been destroyed. Fortunately, I learned to control it, but the shape of the instrument has been destroyed, but the things are still left behind. Are these two beads useful?"

The white hair made a noise. This was already the third dragon tooth that Xiaobai destroyed. The first two were not even left with the materials of the objects and materials. This time, two beads transformed from dragon tooth were left. They were formed and cannot be refined independently. What is the use of this bead? Are you playing with a slingshot?

Despite his anger, Baima still encouraged: "It's great, your skills are great, and you can be refined and formed in one go. Using the Sanwei True Fire is the most important thing. You must succeed in one go and you cannot stop. If your magic power is not enough, you will not be able to do it. It takes a long time to refine magic weapons, but only this step determines success or failure in a moment. It is not only a refining weapon, but also a practice. I ask you to practice with Jiao Teeth. On the one hand, you can master the heat of the weapon forming as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it will also help your magic power grow deeper. This opportunity is rare, you must cherish it..."

Baimao was still talking, and when he heard Qingchen say happily: "Brother Xiaobai, you have succeeded this time. These two beads are so beautiful. If you refine a few more pieces to make a necklace, you will be beautiful."

Bai Mao said helplessly when he heard this: "Tell Qingchen that the bead is useful. When you learn to combine the instrument, you can inlaid it into other materials to refine it in one piece, so that the magic weapon can be used to add the unique magic spells of the Red Dragon."

Xiaobai was a little disappointed, but when he heard that the beads were not refined in vain and said happily, "It's okay? Then why did I refine all the dragon teeth? Even if I can't form, I'm sure I will leave this kind of bead."

The white-haired legs almost fell down when they felt weak, and gritted their teeth and said, "I can't bear to leave the child and cannot trap the wolf, and I can't let the dragon teeth refine the master. There are 32 dragon teeth in total, and I will refine them all for you!... Do you know what the bead is? It was after the refining was out of control and the material was melted by the Samadhi True Fire. Fortunately, the dragon teeth were refined by me without any impurities. You can use the white lotus magic power to collect it and condense it into the lotus seed marrow beads, otherwise you will break as much as you want!... The artifact must be formed as you wish to be considered successful, and it is not refined indiscriminately."

Although there are many materials in the treasure, the most precious ones are the materials obtained from the Red Dragon. The most common ones are thirty-two dragon teeth. It would be impossible to refine these dragon teeth by Xiaobai himself using the "White Lotus Fire Purification" technique, but it would take at least one or two years. Fortunately, the dragon teeth have been refined by the seven leaves without any impurities, and they can be used to practice the art of forming three real fire objects.

Baimao wanted Xiaobai to refine the Red Refining Divine Bow, and he also spent a lot of money. It is safest to refine his hands first with the materials on the Red Dragon. If the Jiao teeth can be successfully refined repeatedly, there should be no problem in refining other ordinary materials, so he simply used this most "expensive" and the simplest method to teach him. Xiaobai was also very successful. After destroying three dragon teeth and leaving six beads, the seventh dragon teeth were finally refined and formed in one fell swoop.

After forming, it was seen that the shape of the instrument that Xiaobai was trying to refine was a short blade, which was seven inches long and thin and sharp, like a knife, not a knife, not a dagger, not a dagger, and the blades on both sides were slightly curved, and the teeth were white with a luster. The short blade had just formed but had no final product, and the handleless and sheathless were still a semi-finished product.

According to the original plan of Baimao, after learning Samadhi True Fire, as long as the weapon is refined, then learn the next step of the "White Lotus Divine Fire" weapon-making technique. But at this time it changed its decision and asked Bai Shaoliu to refine the remaining twenty-five dragon teeth into the same weapon shape. On the one hand, it repeatedly masters the fire to make sure that everything is foolproof. On the other hand, the practice of Samadhi True Fire can also help improve magic power. The most important thing is to use this batch of short blades to continue practicing the next step of kung fu.

In the next three days, Xiaobai did nothing else. He refined all the dragon teeth into shapes. After removing the loss, he refined a total of fifteen short blades and thirty beads. Xiaobai discovered two things: the first is that every time the shape failed, the short blade failed to form, he only took back the beads, and his spirit was exhausted. The second is that every time he used Samadhi True Fire until his magic power was exhausted, he sat meditation and took Huangya Pill to recover, and felt that the true fire magic power was stronger, and his cultivation level was further improved without realizing it.

Xiaobai also realized Baimao's intention, why did he ask him to refine all the dragon teeth into shape? This is not only for refining weapons, but also for humans! In the end, as long as Xiaobai is full of energy and calm, he can refine the short blade to form the shape, and the dragon teeth are just used up.

Next, Baimao taught Xiaobai the "White Lotus Divine Fire" technique to finally refine the short blade into a weapon. It is different from the original "White Lotus Pure Fire". Refining a weapon not only requires the material to be refined with pure thoughts, but also requires the spiritual consciousness to experience this thing, experience its natural attributes and changes after formation, and communicate with the weapon with the spirit. Only in this way can it become a magic weapon that is in harmony with the body and mind, and can use it freely. Although refining a weapon requires special materials, the magic weapon that everyone refines with the same material has different uses, and this is the final "making tool".

Generally speaking, the shape will not change after the weapon is formed. For example, the magic weapon refined by Xiaobai is a strange short blade, like a short scimitar that has not been forged. Therefore, the magic weapons of each sect are usually all kinds of strange. If someone wants to be good-looking, he can add a handle and a sheath on it, but the handle and sheath are all decorations, and the real magic weapon is still the short blade.

As a grandmaster, Baimao certainly would not let Xiaobai deal with it the same way. Each part of a magic weapon must be useful in his hands. While teaching the "White Lotus Divine Fire" to form a weapon, Baimao also taught Xiaobai's "the way of merging the instrument" that the Zhongnan School is best at. The so-called merging means that when refining a material, a finished magic weapon is combined with it.

For example, Xiaobai refining the cold gold essence into a tool is not a separate magic weapon, but a two steps of "forming" and "forming" are completed at one time, making it a short blade handle. The key to the method of merging the tool lies in two points: one is that what is refined is not a finished magic weapon, but another material; the other is that the two steps of forming and forming the material must be completed at one time, and after completion, it is integrated with another finished magic weapon.

The way to clamping is not to have deep skills. It is difficult for people who are good at refining weapons to complete it. And if they are distracted, they will damage the materials. However, this time Baimao no longer cares about it and let Xiaobai choose the materials to refine the handle of the knife. Because even if the clamping fails at this time, the only thing that is damaged is the clamping material rather than the finished magic weapon, so there is no need to worry too much.

The first magic weapon Xiaobai practiced with the art of art of art is extremely exquisite. The handle of the knife is made of the cold gold essence he refined himself, and two beads refined from dragon teeth are also inlaid with two beads refined from dragon teeth. Look at this short blade, the handle is one foot long, one golden four-inch knife handle, and two dazzling beads are inlaid with one left and one right at the swallowing mouth. The short white and slightly curved blade with a seven-inch teeth flows with a strange luster. It is really stylish and has to be of good quality. Even if it is placed in a craft store, it can be sold at a good price.

Qingchen played with it for a long time and couldn't let go, but Xiaobai looked at it and was still dissatisfied - the short blade had no sheath! He wanted to find materials and refine them into scabbards. Baimao gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaobai, you don't have to find other materials anymore. Just use the red dragon skin. In the largest stone niche on the top of the stone wall on the left side of the secret room, there is a refined red dragon skin......"

On the seventh day after Xiaobai entered the secret room, he finally completed the first magic weapon he had refined in his life. The dark red dragon skin sheath was covered with wavy patterns of scales, and could emit golden phosphorescence in the dark. The magic weapon is different from ordinary knives. You cannot pull out this short blade if you can't control objects, because the dragon skin sheath and the short blade have been refined into one. So what can someone who knows how to control the weapon? You need a "test tool" to understand.

When the magic weapon was completed, the first thing Xiaobai did was to "test the instrument" to demonstrate its magical use. Qingchen stood five feet away with a purple gold spear in his hand. Xiaobai waved his short blade in his hand, and echoed like a monster roaring in the secret room. This sound could be breathtaking, but Qingchen's heart was determined and unmoved. Xiaobai waved his hand again, and the refined hilt of the cold gold knife emitted golden light, turning into a golden wrist guard. Then the dark red dragon skin sheath automatically flew out and turned into a red light curtain. The light curtain and wrist guard were connected, and a huge shield appeared in front of Xiaobai.

The shield is golden, and there is a red flying dragon pattern with fangs and claws in the center. The dragon image seems to be alive, and it circles in the center of the shield to make a hissing sound. Xiaobai demonstrates the magical use of protection. When Qingchen saw this scene, he cheered loudly, and Xiaobai shouted: "Qingchen, be careful, I'm going to take action!"

Xiaobai waved his hand again, and a cloud of smoke shot out from the short blade, turning into a huge likkow in the air. Likkow opened his eyes and was about to swallow Qingchen's petite body. Qingchen could not use his magic power, but his internal strength was still there. He shouted a delicate voice and danced the purple golden spear with a sharp gun wind to smash the likkow into a cloud of smoke. At this time, he heard the white hair in the distance muttering in his heart: "What a big scene, it's a pity that it's not useful!"

Xiaobai smiled slightly when he heard this, and the tip of the blade flew into the air. The smoke and clouds scattered and condensed again. Countless slender white blades appeared in Qingchen's direction, like thousands of fangs flying and strangled towards her with a cold light. What a Qingchen, who was not confused in the face of danger and jumped into the air and rotated rapidly. The purple gold spear danced into a phantom to break thousands of fangs.

Qingchen's magic power has such ability before it has been restored. It seems that even if Xiaobai's skills have become deeper recently, he may still be her opponent when Qingchen recovers his magic power. Xiaobai shouted, and the short blade suddenly flew out of his hand. The dragon pattern also broke through the air and merged into one with the short blade. A flying light with a red flame tail feather shot straight at Qingchen. Qingchen shouted loudly and did not move forward, but retreated, and the man and gun combined with one tit-for-tat, and he heard a sharp deafening sound. The tip of the gun hit the flying light, and the flying light shot back and appeared in Xiaobai's hand again.

All the magic was put away, and the short blade returned to its original state with a sheath. The test tool ended. Xiaobai just briefly demonstrated the magical use of the magic weapon. Qingchen only defended but did not attack, and he did not dare to do his best to fight with her. At this time, he heard Qingchen applause: "What a powerful magic weapon, Brother Xiaobai is really amazing!"

Xiaobai said modestly: "The first time I successfully refining the weapon, the attributes of various materials have been used in a wonderful way. I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

Baimao wailed: "Xiaobai--!"

Xiaobai turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Baimao: "You don't even look at what materials you use? How many treasures have you destroyed! Do you really think it's your own seven-day weapon? Every part of the magic weapon you have had for several years. If it's not powerful, we might as well kill you!"

Xiaobai smiled and said, "Can you give me some face in front of Qingchen? I have never been her opponent. Today she rarely admires me... I know that it is basically your credit for practicing this magic weapon. I just became a weapon because of human beings. Who told me to have such good luck to meet you, the great master?"

Baimao coughed: "Actually, you have something unique. What happened to the wrist guard and shield just now? How did you think of it, and how did you make this wonderful use?"

Bai Shaoliu: "Actually, I am imitating. I have seen another pair of golden wristbands of Avtena, which overlapped a light shield on his chest. There was a golden cross in the center of the shield, but it shot out golden light to hurt people. When I was refining the weapon, I found that the cold gold essence could turn into a shield, and stimulated the two beads to shoot red and flying light in the center of the shield."
