Chapter 33 Alchemy

On Qitian Ridge, Fenghuang and Qilin were still sitting opposite each other on the peak, but Dapeng was not standing beside Fenghuang at this time, but was healing in the cave below.Qilin said: "Every move of the Tathagata is very strange. Every time he does things, he always ends up anticlimactic and loses a lot. It seems to be irrelevant. It's really weird." Fenghuang said: "I didn't know before, what happened today is indeed a bit weird, could it be that it will come back again later?" Qilin said: "I don't know what Wukong is going to practice. Just looking at how many people are tossing around, it must be a big deal. Tathagata is here to take this thing?"

Fenghuang nodded and said: "Naturally, but according to what Wukong said, the Tianji stick has not yet been tempered, and it is useless for Tathagata to take it away. What he wants is probably the best of the five elements." Qilin said: "If he really wants to snatch it, I'm afraid he won't stop there." Fenghuang saw all the yellow-clothed Buddhas on Lingshan Mountain guarding around the peak, and said: "Since the Lantern Buddha has intervened in this matter, it is not so easy for the Tathagata to get it, but how does Qi Tianling have such a good relationship with the Lantern Buddha?"

Qilin laughed: "Randeng is Master Wukong, and I was coaxed for a long time back then." Phoenix nodded: "I see." At the bottom of the peak, the seven Wukong people were in the stone room, unaware that the outside world had just experienced a great battle. Wukong and the five people holding the poles of the five elements sat upright to practice, and only Dayu stood still. At this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen, only the Tianji stick was wrapped in the Xiyang furnace, which was slowly spinning in the room. Finally, a faint yellow light flashed on Houtu's body, and Houtu opened her eyes with a smile on her face. Seeing that everyone was still in meditation, only Dayu looked at her with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ?”

Dayu said: "Twenty-one years and two hundred and eighteen days." Hou Tu was slightly surprised: "It's been so long." Dayu nodded: "It seems that among these few people, you are still the one with the highest cultivation level, so you were the first to wake up." Houtu said: "The extreme of the earth is really amazing. If there is no encounter today, I am afraid I will never be able to reach the present state of mind." Dayu asked: "State of mind? Isn't it the way to control the earth?" Houtu said: "The art of the five elements, at first, was to control the soil and control the water. I just realized today that the word 'Yu' is inferior."

"What should that be?" Hou Tu shook his head: "I don't know what it should be at the moment, but it is definitely not 'Yu'. At this time, the soil of the world is like my best friend." Dayu thought for a while, but what he heard was specious. Houtu put his hands on the ground, closed his eyes, and sat down in meditation again. Thirteen years and sixty-nine days later, Rushou woke up. Unlike Houtu, when Rushou woke up, the room was filled with white light, flashing like a sharp blade, and it took a long time to disappear. Knowing that he woke up thirteen years later than Houtu, Ruo Shou was not at all depressed, but said happily, "I only know that the wood god is earlier than me."

Dayu laughed and said, "Could it be Jin Kemu?" Ru Shou said: "Where, if that's the case, Vulcan should be before me." After finishing speaking, he also sat cross-legged.They all know that the opportunity to get in touch with the Five Elements is extremely rare, and they may only have this once in a lifetime, so they should cherish it all the more. Five years later, Zhu Rong leaped up joyfully and shouted, "I'm awake!" Dayu glared at her, Zhu Rong saw that the rest of them were in samadhi, stuck out his tongue, and said, "Am I the first one?"

Dayu shook his head, pointed to Houtu and Liaoshou, and said, "This one is eighteen years earlier than you, and that one is five years earlier than you." Covered by red light. Gou Mang opened his eyes and sighed, "Big mistake!" Zhu Rong asked, "What's so wrong?" Jumang said: "Before I practiced, I almost went astray. If I didn't get the wood, I don't know where I went wrong." Zhu Rong said: "We are each other, but now they are different." Dayu said: "There is only Wuzhiqi." Zhu Rong and Gou Mang continued to practice, and when Wu Zhiqi woke up, everyone began to practice Tianji stick.At this time, Wukong had already been immersed in the Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang. He hadn't cultivated like this for a long time, and his mood at this moment was indescribably peaceful.Since he got the good luck given to him by Xuannv that day, his cultivation has improved a lot. At this time, he faintly has a deeper understanding of magical powers such as pushing mountains and filling seas, drawing land to form rivers, and returning wind to fire.

It turns out that although the Thirty-Six Transformations do not belong to the Five Elements supernatural powers, they still have to be based on the Five Elements. Wukong's knowledge of the Five Elements for a few days is also beneficial to him. Sitting quietly, among the thirty-six changes, all supernatural powers related to the five elements have improved. Dayu was very patient. He seemed to be standing with his eyes open, but he was actually practicing.He knew that Wuzhiqi's cultivation base was the lowest, only that of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and it would take tens or hundreds of years for this level to be completed, but the water god Gonggong was not there, and only Wuzhiqi could stand in the world This appointment is also impossible.

Fortunately, in the realm of Ksitigarbha, one day on the outside can last forty or fifty years inside, so there is no need to worry about the time being too long. Finally, in the one hundred and seventieth year, Wu Zhiqi's body glowed with black light, swimming like water, he let out a suppressed roar from his throat, and his eyes shot out. Dayu saw it in his eyes and said in surprise: "The top of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!" Wu Zhiqi calmed down his excitement, nodded and said: "The extreme water makes me feel like I'm in chaos!" Dayu said: "There is no hurry to refine the weapon, you should just quietly understand it for a while."

Wu Zhiqi also knows that in matters of practice, every time a step is taken, it is best to comprehend it quietly, so as to stabilize the state of mind and avoid arrogance and impatience.He sat for several months, and finally opened his eyes again. At this time, his eyes were as clear as water, and his face was peaceful. Only then did Dayu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's done!" The others have already accomplished their job, and it was only through Wuzhiqi Weixing that they had the opportunity to get in touch with the Five Elements. Seeing Wuzhiqi woke up, Zhu Rong and the others immediately returned to their senses, but it was inevitable that there was a hint of disappointment in their hearts. .

Dayu used his magical powers to enlarge the Xiyang furnace several times, and said: "Soil should be used as the base for refining the Tianji stick." Hearing the words, Hou Tu held up the pole of the soil in his hand, and a yellow light emitted from the bright stone, shining on the soil-breathing furnace.Zhu Rong said, "Will it be self-defeating to use this potter?" Houtu said: "No way, the Xiyang furnace is originally soil, and under the strength of the soil, it will naturally blend together. If it is a copper furnace and an iron furnace, then I dare not say it." The yellow light diffused, and the whole body of the Xiyang furnace was dyed earthy yellow as if it had a tangible substance.The Neizhong Tianji Cudgel originally looked like a Ruyi Golden Cudgel, but now it has returned to its original shape, becoming a black stick with a slightly curved top. Houtu said: "The foundation of the furnace is complete!" Dayu said again: "Wood is a guide." Gou Mang imitated the movement of Houtu, and also introduced the air of green wood into the furnace. We all know that wood can overcome the earth, where the green air goes, the yellow light will immediately avoid it.Hou Tu murmured: "It's not wood that restrains soil, but Tu namu." After hearing Houtu's words, Gou Mang realized something in his heart, so the aura of green wood suddenly became softer, blending with the yellow light, making no distinction between you and me. With the continuous output of Jumang's mana, the green energy gradually occupied most of the space in the soil furnace, and only on the wall of the furnace, it was still mixed with the earthy yellow energy, and there was no clear boundary. Houtu nodded. It was probably the first time that the five elements were refined at the same time. The five elements are mutually reinforcing and complementary, but it must not be one or the other. Only by using the power of the earth to fuse each other is the most appropriate. . Dayu said loudly: "Fire is the medium." Before that, Zhu Rong didn't know the meaning of the three characters "fire is intermediary". He saw that the green and earthy yellow breath blended together, but it was far away from the secret stick in the soil furnace, so he understood. Jin Neng overcomes wood, green wood breath sees Tianji stick, avoids it for fear of being too late, how can it get close?And fire can restrain metal, and when fire is everywhere, metal will turn into water, and water can breed and encourage wood energy, so it is most appropriate to use "fire as the medium". Zhu Rong drew out the firepower from the Extreme Fire Stone, formed a thin line, directly penetrated the earth and wood, and hit the Tianji stick.Although this firepower looks like red fire, it is extremely hot, even better than Ghost Flame.It turns out that among all the fires in the world, the lowest level is Chi Huo, and the highest level is still Chi Huo.It was only through Zhu Rong's mana pressure that he could control the heat of the fire so that it could not disperse. When the Tianji stick encountered this fire, it melted into golden water section by section, but the shape remained unchanged, which was still the result of Zhu Rong's manipulation.But all the refining tools are based on fire, and Zhu Rong took the longest time in this step. She used all the fire to temper this piece of golden water, going back and forth for countless times. Finally, the black on the Tianji stick gradually faded, and it turned into a bright red color exactly like Chihuo, so Dayu nodded and said, "Okay." Houtu and Jumang continued to practice their skills, and the green energy gradually penetrated into the Tianji stick , the Tianji stick released blue thorns, as if they were born on the stick. When the whole body of the Tianji stick grew green thorns, Dayu said again: "Water is the end!" Wu Zhiqi heard this, and then he led out the pole of the black water. The black water was so thick that it was really like black water. It condensed into a big ball in the air and slowly floated towards the Xiyang furnace. At the beginning Dayu was still a little worried, but seeing that Wuzhiqi was self-taught without a teacher and seemed to be an expert in making weapons, he was relieved. The black water is soft, but extremely cold. The quenching and cooling of the refiner requires pure water and oil. Is there anything purer than the extreme of water in the world? This cloud of extreme black water floated on the top of the Xiyang furnace, and suddenly fell like weightless, enveloping the whole body of the Tianji stick in an instant.There was only a bang of "brush", and then Houtu, Jumang and Zhurong took back the soil, wood and firepower, leaving only black water and Tianji stick in the furnace. Wukong was awakened by the loud noise, and opened his eyes to see that the refining weapon had reached the most critical moment. Dayu shouted anxiously: "Zhu Rong, fire and water blend together!" It turned out that when Dayu saw the temperature of the furnace drop suddenly, he suddenly remembered that the blood of Wukong's good fortune had not yet been integrated, and when the Tianji stick was formed, it would not be able to be integrated. When he drank like this, everyone was startled, they all knew that water and fire are incompatible, so how can they coexist at this moment?Only Houtu woke up the fastest, and shouted: "Gumang, you can't withdraw your strength!"
