Chapter 21: First Refining of Equipment (Seeking Recommendation Tickets ~)

  Explain, yesterday afternoon computer crashed, I was so depressed that I almost died, and as a result, there was no update.

  And yesterday's several thousand words were also recovered only half of them, and the rest was written in vain... heartbreaking.

  Today's third update is for everyone, seeking recommendation votes... Please support Xiao Shui in the rankings.

  With the mind controlling it, like burying a seed in the soil to grow, the spark of fire was planted in the center of the lower dantian. Letting this spark take root in the dantian naturally requires going through the suffering of the three souls being burned. At the same time, this is also why Yang Tian asked had not cultivated this divine fire for a long time, because his primordial spirit had not solidified, and if he couldn't withstand the suffering of the three souls being burned, then he would only die a miserable death.

  But now it seems that I have no choice but to take a risk, enduring the immense pain that comes from my soul, which can drive people crazy.

  Yang Tianwen clenched his teeth and endured, diverting more than half of his attention to control the slow implantation of the Heart Refining Dan fire. His whole body was already drenched in sweat, and his entire body trembled involuntarily.

  Finally, just before Yang Tian's consciousness became blurred, he managed to plant the last strand of Lian Xin Dan fire into his Dantian. At this moment, the supply of Xiantian purple gas slowed down suddenly, and it no longer needed to be automatically supplied. The Lian Xin Dan fire would automatically absorb the Xiantian purple gas inside the Dantian. A warm sensation spread from the Dantian to the four limbs and hundred bones, followed by a cold sensation that also spread from the Dantian to the four limbs and hundred bones, making his whole body feel as comfortable as if he had just taken a refreshing bath. Countless spiritual energies poured into his body through countless pores, transformed into Xiantian purple gas after circulation, and then entered the Dantian to fill up the empty lower Dantian.

  Although it consumed the five-year accumulation of congenital purple energy, replenishing it would not take as long as five years. After all, the boundary is here, and during the Qi-cultivation period, the congenital purple energy in the body flows continuously throughout the body like running water, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform into true energy.

  Three short periods of time, and the consumption of his innate purple energy has actually recovered three layers! This made Yang Tian somewhat surprised at himself. The innate purple energy in his lower dantian transformed into a thick, dark purple energy that entered his middle dantian. The ratio was almost one to one before, but now it's fifty to one, an increase of more than double.

  Yang Tianwen couldn't imagine that the Heart Refining Fire was not only used for refining equipment and alchemy, but also to purify true energy and evolve true yuan. The ancient cultivation method of Taigu was indeed extraordinary.

  Yang Tianwen did not immediately start refining the instrument, but instead spent three days replenishing his innate purple energy and another day polishing it. After using the Heart Refining Dan fire, the purification of the innate purple energy became increasingly simple, and the amount of refined energy that could be obtained in a short period of time was almost comparable to what had previously taken several months to accumulate. Moreover, its color was far superior to what it had been before.

  The state has recovered to its peak, and Yang Tianwen did not expect it to recover so quickly. High investment indeed has high returns. He took out the batch of jade stones given by Yu Qinghong, first taking out one-tenth of them to familiarize himself with the most basic array methods in "Array Way", which includes an introduction to the Spirit Gathering Array. Yang Tianwen planned to use the Spirit Gathering Array in conjunction with pure jade to refine a Spirit Gathering Jade Symbol. This is only the Qi Refining stage, and "Danqi Secret Explanation" has only revealed the basic part of the iceberg, so it's impossible to refine any powerful magical artifacts or flying swords. Even if he refines one, it would be useless.

  With the jade stone suspended in mid-air by true energy, stretch out your right hand and a spark of fire will rise up in your palm, growing larger and larger. This is the Heart Refining Fire, a supreme divine flame that has been lost since ancient times. If not for the Heavenly Fate Plate, it would be impossible to recreate this flame in the world. Once this divine flame takes root in the dantian, it can burn endlessly using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as its foundation, with the user's cultivation being an indispensable factor.

  In mid-air, the jade stone was quickly melted into a ball under the smelting of the divine fire, slowly getting smaller and smaller, but its color became purer and purer. After removing impurities, Yang Tian began to engrave the Ling Array within it. With his spiritual mind controlling a thread of flame, he engraved the array pattern stroke by stroke in the molten jade, completely following the method explained in the "Array Way". The Heart Refining Fire, also known as the Heart Fire, allowed the user to control it with their spiritual mind like an arm, freely manipulating it. Just like this, the array was carved out. Of course, the prerequisite was that one's spiritual power could support it.

  The ordinary method of refining instruments is not as wonderful and convenient as this, and the procedures are much more cumbersome. The effect is also very difficult to achieve.

  Refining equipment, there are only five major steps: gathering materials, quenching fire, engraving arrays, fusing, and shaping. Because this time only a single jade material is used, it can be directly shaped by infusing the array method into it. With the Heart Refining Fire Pill, except for the first step, the removal of impurities by fire, the heart fire engraves the array, the fierce fire fuses, and the ice flame cools to shape are all contained within. The Heart Refining Fire Pill is a supreme divine fire that can change with one's mind, able to be extremely hot or extremely cold.

  Yang Tianwen's first attempt at refining an artifact was completed in the blink of an eye, but now he can barely enter the door. He still doesn't fully understand the superimposition of formations, so this jade symbol unfortunately didn't even enter the lowest grade of treasure artifacts in the Refining Realm. However, it is still considered a superior existence among symbols and artifacts, far surpassing those so-called divine weapons and sharp instruments in the mundane world. Because it couldn't be submerged into his dantian, Yang Tianwen specially used heart fire to refine a sturdy jade thread to string up the jade symbol, which he hung on his body.

  Start meditating to summarize the experience. Although it's just a small gathering spirit array, it's still one of the spiritual arrays in the cultivation world. The Heart Refining Dan Fire may not consume the innate purple energy as much as it did at the beginning, but after taking root, using the Heart Refining Dan Fire is extremely consuming for the heart and soul. With Yang Tianwen's unformed nascent soul, his three souls and seven spirits had already condensed a lot, but they couldn't support continuous alchemy. Nascent Soul, Yang Tianwen once again deeply realized the importance of the nascent soul. The true beginning of "The Selfless Great Way" is during the Transformation of Spirit stage, and Yang Tianwen, whose nascent soul has not yet formed, cannot be considered a cultivator, but only an apprentice cultivator.

  In no time, the consumed innate purple energy was fully replenished, and because of the Lingyu Jade Symbol on his chest, he could feel that the speed of cultivating and accumulating Qi had increased by tenfold! This made Yang Tianxing so excited that he wanted to jump up, as this represented that with it, the speed of entering the Qi Refining stage would also increase by tenfold. Even the prolonged Qi Cultivation phase was accelerated by tenfold. Of course, this was just a thought, as the higher the realm, the more spiritual energy required, and no matter how fast the accumulation and tempering process was, it wouldn't be enough. The tenfold increase was only an initial feeling, perhaps when he reached the next realm, the feeling would be different again.

  All in all, this first attempt at refining equipment was a success.
