Chapter 23: Entranced The sapphire alchemy furnace was started. Lin He did not dare to use the best material, black tortoise shell, for the experiment, so he used the Nine Earth Flags as the test object. The true Nine Earths Hidden Formation requires ninety-nine and eighty-one formation flags. There are no high requirements on materials. The key to the formation is still in the formation. So don't worry about practicing bad things, or you'll have to start over again. Besides, with Lin He's current cultivation level, even if he could lay out a complete Nine Earths Hidden Formation, he still wouldn't be able to control it. At least until his cultivation level improves, Lin He can only operate the elementary formation of the Eighteen Flags. The materials are all readily available, and the refining process is very simple. Just take the eighteen flags from before and re-melt them. It sounds simple, but the actual operation is obviously different. The flames in the sapphire pill furnace obviously give Lin He a completely different feeling. Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, Lin He was able to resonate with the flames in the alchemy furnace with his thoughts, and he could know everything in the alchemy furnace without even looking at it. Under Lin He's control, the faint blue flame began to temper the first flag. Lin He could not only clearly see the process of the flame wrapping the flag pole, but also clearly feel the tempering process of the fire. Next, the Nine Earth Flags, which were originally of average quality, are undergoing essential changes. Their structure becomes tighter in the fire, and the conductivity of spiritual power is greatly improved. This is not the Three Flavors True Fire, but judging from the refining process, the Nine Earth Banners produced are definitely more effective than the Three Flavors True Fire in the traditional sense. This was the wonderful content that Lin He felt during the refining process. It seemed that after being tempered by this nameless divine fire, the Nine Earth Flags became alive and could communicate with Lin He's thoughts to a certain extent. This feeling is so amazing. It took an hour for the first Nine Earth Flag to be returned to the furnace, and after re-tempering, it was out. When he held it in his hand, Lin He could clearly feel that this Nine Earth Flag had undergone earth-shaking changes. The original dark red color turned into blue-black, blooming with a faint blue luster. Lin He, an old weapon refiner, knew at a glance that this thing was not ordinary. The first time the furnace was successful, Lin He became bolder next time. He put all seventeen Nine Earth Flags into the elixir furnace at once and activated the nameless divine fire for tempering. As a result, he found that one flag at a time and seventeen flags at a time were , there is not much difference in the process. It is nothing more than that the volume of the nameless divine fire increases under the operation of the mind, and the flame rises. There is no difference in time. An hour later, the sapphire stone furnace emitted a stream of hot air and issued a sharp The whistling sound reminded Lin He that the tempering was completed. Seventeen nine-ground flags have been released. Each one seems to be made from the same mold. It has the same size, the same appearance, the same color, and the same gloss. When you hold it in your hand and compare it, it can be said that they are exactly the same. . The success of the Nine Earth Flags has greatly increased Lin He's self-confidence, and he has a deeper understanding of the tempering effect of this nameless divine fire that is like an arm and a finger. After finishing the Nine Earth Flags, Lin He remembered that he seemed to have not turned in Linggu, so he made a special trip back to the thatched cottage. Someone had been in the thatched cottage, and it wasn't difficult for Lin He to tell. Fortunately, there weren't any good things in the thatched cottage, so just throw it away. After entering the house, I saw the sword hanging in the main hall and the words on the wall. "The old immortal has finally discovered his conscience. This character is written really well, as if it is going to go through the wall." After sighing, Lin He remembered his identity as an inner disciple. It seemed that inner disciples didn't have to pay this or that. In other words, others don't have to hand over various plants at the outer door. Taking off the sword on the wall, he felt a strong sense of sword energy as soon as he picked it up. Lin He's face condensed, this sword must have seen blood. It seems that the old guy didn't lie. Look at the sword in his hand. It has a very ordinary shape and the word "Chai Dian" is engraved on the hilt. This shows how arrogant the old immortal is. When he was young, he must have flown at extremely high speeds with this sword. Pulling out the sword blade and looking at it again, the sword body seemed to be covered with fish scales, reflecting a strange luster. Pull it all out, stand it up and look at it again. The sword body is like a stream of autumn water in the light. With a snap of your fingers, it makes a buzzing sound. It is really a good sword, and the traces left by the original owner have been erased from the sword body. Lin He doesn't need to bother much, he only needs to inject Hunyuan and temper it with spiritual fire for his own use. There was a jade slip tied to the sword tassel. When Lin He took it off and took a look, he realized that the jade slip was the way to control a sword. After ten years in Wanxiumen, this was the first time Lin He had a flying sword and the first time he was exposed to the art of sword control. Although the old immortal was indifferent to him, he still gave him a flying sword and two jade slips. It seemed that he had time to study the contents of the jade slips given by the immortal. This old guy seems to be very powerful. Lin He thought this in his heart, and Lao Ge's impression changed in his mind. At least it has some use value. In front of this old guy's inner disciple, he doesn't have to pay various fees and can get a flying sword. It seems that it is not without benefits. Lin He's arrogance in using spiritual stones to kill his opponents during the competition seemed too cruel to his peers. In fact, Lin He still felt sorry for those expenses. If not for?Prove yourself, and Lin He won't be so prodigal. The North-South Competition will be held in three months. Counting on fingers, there are not many days left. There must be a breakthrough in cultivation, and one must seize the time to learn how to wield a sword. There are also weapons to be busy refining, and the Ironwood Black Turtle shield to be refined for use. These all take time. Three months seems to be a long time to ordinary people, but in the long years of cultivation of cultivators, it is only a blink of an eye. Returning to Baimufeng Blessed Land Cave Heaven, Lin He's life once again returned to the rhythm of a thatched cottage, with three self-study classes a day, and the time between the two hours of rest each day was spent on refining weapons and learning how to wield a sword. It was another morning class just before dawn, and Lin He noticed something different from before. The difference is that his body seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy has become much faster. This speed is based on the fact that the speed of spiritual energy circulating in the body is much faster than before. For example, if you use a dirt road to compare Lin He's meridians before, then Lin He's meridians have been strengthened countless times, just like the F1 formula track. In the past, the process of the spiritual energy circulating in the body and returning to the Dantian to transform into Hunyuan Qi was like a three-bounce ball bumping on a dirt road. Now the spiritual energy is like an F1 car, racing rapidly on the track. What's even more amazing is that Lin He's mind can clearly see the spiritual energy running at high speed in the meridians for thirty-six days. After entering the Dantian, the golden Hunyuan Qi ball expands from the size of a child's fist to the size of an adult at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fist size. At the same time, that feeling of complete freedom swept over me like a tide again, more surging than before. Lin He, who closed his eyes and focused on the meridians in his body, did not notice the changes in his body at this moment. If there is an onlooker, they can clearly see that Lin He's body sitting cross-legged inflated like an inflated balloon at that moment, and as if it was filled with hydrogen, the whole body floated slightly. Shaking slightly in the air. At this time, Lin He felt like he was in a hot spring, every pore in his body was open, and he felt as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit. Time flew rapidly in this selfless state, and Lin He's mind also clearly saw the fist-sized Hunyuan Qi ball, which after shrinking slightly, changed from a light golden yellow to a pure golden color. yellow. And without opening his eyes, Lin He could feel everything happening ten meters away. It seemed that all the movements in the world were under the control of his mind. This feeling was so wonderful. Lin He was immersed in it and had forgotten the time. He kept repeating the circulation of spiritual energy, constantly looking for that feeling of freedom. Constantly observing the process of the Hunyuan Qi group in the body becoming larger and smaller, changing from pale gold to pure gold. It was only after Lin He stopped the morning practice and opened his eyes that the pure gold Hunyuan Qi in his body would not change significantly no matter how hard he tried. When he opened his eyes, the whole world seemed different. In Lin He's eyes, he could clearly see that the air was filled with tiny particles, and these particles were slowly falling at an extremely slow speed. During the falling process, these particles were still falling. It will be beaten on some sides and eventually fall to the ground and turn into dust. When a stench entered his nostrils, Lin He looked down and found that the black stains on the futon were painted along the sitting figure, and his body was even more sticky and uncomfortable. What's going on? Lin He didn't have time to think too much and hurried to the corner dedicated to flushing and excretion. When the Little Spiritual Rain Technique is activated, a piece of spiritual energy gathers above the head at an extremely fast speed. The spiritual energy turns into rain. But in the blink of an eye, a spiritual rain falls in a space of one meter square, and it is a heavy rain, with big raindrops. It fell with a snap, washing over Lin He's body. Lin He simply stood up and took off all his clothes. The rain clouds rose as Lin He stood up, and the raindrops fell down without any delay. A refreshing wash took half an hour, and finally the whole body was washed clean. Lin He didn't need to wipe it, but he circulated the Hunyuan Qi in his body and saw the attached water droplets turn into steam and rise, and it was dry in the blink of an eye. After putting on clean clothes, Lin He felt that his whole person was completely different. Unfortunately, there was no mirror here, so Lin He could not see that his appearance had changed a lot. Although the shape of his face had not changed much, his skin became fuller. glossy, a pair of big and bright eyes, and the whole person's temperament becomes more energetic and confident. At this time, when Lin He closed his eyes and felt his own cultivation, he was surprised to find that his cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi training. It was just an ordinary morning class, but such a big change happened? When Lin He felt incredible, he glanced at the hourglass hanging on the wall and was shocked. The scale next to the hourglass clearly showed that the hourglass had been turned over thirty times, and it took twenty hours for the hourglass to turn over. In other words, Lin He unknowingly entered a state of retreat, and this retreat lasted for a whole period. moon. In the past month, Lin He had been completely in a state of selflessness.Afterwards, he entered a realm that cultivators dream of. There is a special term for this state: trance!
