Chapter 358: Donghu Qiushui Gengjinqi
After the meal, I was full and satisfied.
There was no problem for Gu Qingyuan to eat this meal, as the purple rice was an elixir that strengthened the foundation and replenished the essence. The poison in the rice had also been eliminated, and the food replenished Qi and was easy to absorb. What he wanted was to perfect his foundation. After drinking two bowls of rice soup, he filled his stomach and nourished some of his magic power. But the purple sable was different.
There is no official method to pass it on yet. It just relies on instinct to swallow some sun essence, absorb some moonlight, gaze at the moon and practice Qi, thus building up a mediocre foundation.
It is already difficult for monsters to practice Taoism compared to humans. It is already difficult to open their intelligence, and there is dirty energy in their bodies, making it difficult to be pure and peaceful.
Now, after eating most of the spiritual rice, the evil root was forced out and the turbid energy from the source was dispelled. The purple-gold sable was blessed and no longer active. It was drowsy and almost fell asleep. It was going to enter the fetal breathing state to regulate the spiritual energy and nourish the body. This was just a little trick of Gu Qingyuan that was done on a whim.
Placing the purple-gold sable aside and letting it fall asleep, Gu Qingyuan stood up and left the temple. Now that he had some magical powers, he still needed to refine one or two spiritual treasures, one to protect his way, the other to verify the way of this world.
After leaving the Taoist temple, he walked around and went forward along the path. Although the Canxia Mountain was not big, it had many strange rocks and strange sights. The autumn wind was not strong, and the magnificent scenery ahead made Gu Qingyuan feel more interesting.
After passing through a mountain corridor, the view suddenly opens up. There are pine and cypress trees standing in front of you. The treetops are lush and stick their heads out, covering an area of the land, as if waving or welcoming guests. There are so many pine branches fluttering along the way that they form a secluded path of tall pine and green cypresses, giving the path a roof, and it is called the Pine Corridor Path.
The path extends all the way to a vast area. Water vapor fills the air and gathers into a lake. As there are water veins underneath, the water is running and the waves are gentle. There are also a few plum blossom hearts and fleshy marks by the lake, which are mostly left by wild animals in the mountains when they come here to drink water.
Gu Qingyuan walked forward and came to the lakeside. He opened his eyes and looked around, both to admire the scenery and the aura. This lake was somewhat mysterious, with water vapor and gold aura mixed together. There must be one or two mineral deposits underground, which emitted a lot of gold aura.
"What a beautiful lake, what a rich Gengjin energy!"
He opened his mouth in admiration and said that the purpose of this trip was to collect materials for refining weapons. This world was created by one Qi, which gave rise to all things. Gu Qingyuan's refining skills were developed from this.
However, he did not want to be like the old monk, who collected tens of thousands of tons of metal materials and minerals from heaven and earth just to forge out one or two pieces of fine gold. That would be a very laborious process, and it would take years to get any good materials.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the lake, made a hand gesture, and released a breath of pure magic power, which slowly fell into the lake. The lake water was purified by the magic power, and there were some waves and ripples, and then it gradually calmed down.
Threads of magic power fell to the bottom of the lake and were imprinted into the mineral deposits at the bottom. There were one or two gold and iron veins underneath. If a monk with great magic power came here, he could drain the lake water and pull out the veins, and he could also smelt a few pounds of materials for refining treasures. As for the ordinary iron, it would all be consumed by fire.
Gu Qingyuan drew a talisman and let the magic power fall into the mineral vein. The mineral vein was blessed with magic power and the gold energy inside burst out, stirring up the lake water into turbulent waves.
After the lake water rolled a few times, the sky turned white, the stars hidden in the sky flashed, and white mist fell from the sky to the lake. The energy was formed, and he drew out a stream of energy, which turned into a light gold color, with water vapor and gold vapor mixed inside, like a gauze or a ruler, swaying in shadows and sparkling. This was the Gengjin Energy of Donghu Autumn Water, which was refined by Gu Qingyuan according to the formula.
This Gengjin Qi seems simple, but it is not easy to obtain. It requires the three elements of time, place and people. The heaven and the earth are the end of autumn, neither too late nor too early. It draws the power of the heavenly stems, and when the Qi is formed, it brings a hint of golden autumn energy.
The geographical advantage is that there must be a pool of lake water and the mineral deposits at the bottom of the pool. The two are mixed and nourish each other. Over the years, the Gengjin Qi is mixed with a trace of the five elements of water. It takes a long time, otherwise the water and gold will be clearly separated and cannot become one. In addition, the human harmony requires a cultivator who is proficient in observing and accumulating qi, and uses the method of controlling the qi to stimulate it and make it a whole. If you are not careful, the quality of the Gengjin Qi in the autumn water of the cave lake will fall and it will be difficult to become a material.
Gu Qingyuan is not an ordinary person, he is born with sharp eyes and a sharp mind, as well as a pair of deft hands, which is why he has this three-foot-long autumn sword and more than ten kilograms of Gengjin Qi.
"I am so lucky to be born from heaven and earth. I am destined to become a sharp weapon to protect the way."
He sighed and said that there were few people living in this place, so this pool of lake water was brewing and waiting for the right person to take it. If there was a precious sword or a magical weapon hidden at the bottom of the lake, Gu Qingyuan would not want to see it!
The three-foot-long autumn silk was thrown out, and Gu Qingyuan spit out a bright flame to burn it. The pure yang true fire of the sun that he visualized slowly burned along the edge of the silk, removing the hidden impurities inside.
The pure yang true fire of the sun is also called the true fire of the sun. If someone else comes to practice it, he must sit at noon, facing the east, and watch the sun. He must watch it until his mouth becomes dry and his skin becomes cracked. Only then can he draw out a trace of fire and store it in his body. One trace a day, and the strands become strands, and several strands become a flower. When a true flame sprout is born, it is considered a success. It can take several years at a time. Without years of hard work and profound cultivation, it is tantamount to burning oneself.
Gu Qingyuan had a wonderful method and was close to the sun, so naturally there was no need for him to go through so much trouble. Just by visualizing, he could condense a true talisman, and when it was transformed into magic power, an endless supply of true solar fire would be generated, and it would be no problem for him to stop the enemy from refining treasures.
That sun's true fire was burning, and the autumn water Gengjin Qi of Donghu Lake changed from a three-foot plain brocade appearance to a watery ball, like an old elixir liquid.
The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus. When man asks for things from heaven and earth, it is a great harm, which reduces his energy and consumes his external strength. When he loses too much, the catastrophe will come. Therefore, when one succeeds in refining elixirs and equipment with great effort, there will often be a catastrophe from heaven to destroy it or a man to attack.
The heavenly calamity cannot be stopped, and the elixirs and weapons will be destroyed. The human calamity cannot be stopped, and all the hard work will be taken away and become a expense for others. The essence of it all lies in balance, balancing the fate and calamity, and balancing the vitality of heaven and earth.
The Tao is just distributed equally throughout the world. Only when it is distributed equally can it be used. Gu Qingyuan took the treasures from heaven and earth and practiced the method of refining tools, but he also wanted to return them to heaven.
The magic power became more and more powerful, causing the flames to burn fiercely and the Gengjin Qi to roll. The breath kept leaking out and sinking around Gu Qingyuan. Once the breath sank to the ground, it disappeared into thin air, and the soil seemed to benefit from it and became a little more solid.
The Gengjin Qi, after being tempered by the true fire of the sun, has become more magical. If ordinary iron gets a little bit of it, it will become a divine weapon. If ordinary gold gets a little bit of it, it will have more essence. It is really a great treasure.
What Gu Qingyuan wanted was the essence of energy. Although the other things were good, they were not to his liking, so he discarded them all and returned them to heaven and earth, allowing them to drift in all directions.
His magic power was small, and after burning for only half an hour, it was already depleted, and the Gengjin Qi had mostly dissipated, leaving only the pure Qi.
"You still have to practice diligently. It's not good to be so stingy with this little magic power to make a magic weapon."
Gu Qingyuan sat down, attracted spiritual energy, chanted Huangting silently, and restored his magic power. When his magic power was perfected, he was like a fire monk, and devoted himself to the great task of burning fire.
In this way, three days passed.
