"It is said that alchemy helps to control the golden elixir and the elixir fire. In the process, one can better understand the heaven and earth, and experience the heaven, earth and Tao through a rigorous process. This process is very important for the fifth level human elixir in the golden elixir realm. The state of unity has been greatly promoted, and many people have even found their own way to unite human and elixir in alchemy."
"Being familiar with oneself is a very important step in tempering the golden elixir. Although I have the most outstanding golden elixir magic method and a large number of Yuanjin elixirs, I still need to be familiar with myself and understand the existence of the Tao before I can reach the realm of the golden elixir. Five layers, otherwise you will always be stuck at the bottleneck.”
"There are tens of thousands of golden elixirs at the fourth level of the Great Dao Realm in the Mortal Sword Domain, and a large number of them have stayed in this realm for at least several decades. For such a long time, no matter how slow they refine the golden elixirs, they can still reach the critical point of the fifth level. , the reason why it has not reached the fifth level is that it lacks a sense of Tao, and cannot be familiar with oneself, the unity of human and elixir, and the understanding of heaven and earth."
Since Wu Yu started practicing Taoism, he has basically had a smooth journey because of his superb magic. But now he realizes that the only thing he really depends on is himself. The fifth level of the Golden elixir realm is what he encountered. The first threshold, perhaps only after crossing this threshold can one truly be qualified to embark on the 'high road'.
And this is a hurdle that no one can help yourself with.
"In addition to refining alchemy, drawing the magic circle is also a very important part. The magic circle is the crystallization of countless ascetics' insights into the world and the wisdom of the world. Those who could create the magic circle in the past were all ancient powerful beings who could truly become immortals. They We have traveled a long way on the road and left behind so many treasures. Drawing a magic circle requires the most rigorous and careful attitude, and it also requires the most extreme concentration at all times. If there is even the slightest mistake in any place, it will All magic circles will fail, but it is this highest degree of concentration that makes us more intoxicated. By copying the handwriting and thinking of our predecessors, we can understand what they have understood and thereby improve ourselves."
Refining elixirs and drawing magic circles does not seem to increase combat effectiveness. In fact, countless data in history prove that ascetics who do not know how to make alchemy and draw magic circles will never achieve the true path. Of course, except for demons, demons rely on blood, and their ancestors also have cultivation methods, but they are different from refining alchemy and drawing magic circles.
However, for countless years, humans and demons have blended together. Nowadays, among the demons, there are also those who are very good at refining alchemy and drawing magic circles. For example, this supreme hunting ground is surrounded by many arrays.
Opening a book called "General Book of Magical Arrays", there is no method for drawing magical formations, but it gives a general introduction to the world of magical formations.
On the first page of the "General Book of Magical Arrays", there are the words "dragon flying and phoenix dancing". These words are similar to the formation diagram of "Na". Although they are words, they also have the meaning of the formation diagram. When he saw this word, Wu Yu seemed to have seen it. In a picture, an old man with a long beard stood with his hands behind his back, his voice was deafening, and he said loudly: "Beginners need to be extremely careful, the method of drawing the magic circle in the Jindan Dao Realm and Zifu Canghai Mirror is not the real method! In ancient times, only those who have achieved the Yuan Shen and used the Yuan Shen to draw magic arrays can draw and arrange the real magic arrays. Those magic arrays all have the power to destroy the heaven and the earth! The strong Yuan Shen can use the magic circle to control the world. The world!"
"However, later, through the efforts of some people, the ascetics of the Jindan Dao Realm and Zifu Canghaijing were able to create a 'pseudo magic circle' by copying the ancient Yuanshen magic circle and adding some auxiliary techniques. The power of the magic circle is far from that of the real magic circle. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. Most of the magic circles circulating in the world today are pseudo magic circles that are simplified from the magic circle. There are only a few real magic circles in the world. In the hands of some powerful people, but even so, the pseudo magic circle is still more popular than the real magic circle. Although it is just a copy, it still has great effect. It is the efforts and simplification of these predecessors that formed the era of the universal magic circle today! Therefore, those ancestors who simplified and created copying methods have great merits!"
It is precisely because of the popularization of the 'pseudo magic circle' that people above the Golden Elixir Dao realm can enhance their comprehension ability by copying the magic circle and comprehend the wisdom crystallization of their ancestors, thereby making faster progress in these two realms.
Of course, outside today, no one mentions the term pseudo-magic circle at all. Today, the world has long regarded pseudo-magic circle as part of the magic circle.
Next, Wu Yu flipped through and found the specific classification of magic formations.
Among them, there are 'attack and killing formations' arranged between heaven and earth, such as the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, the Shushan Ninety-nine Immortal Sword Formation, and so on.
There is pure defense, an insurmountable 'defensive array', such as the limits of this supreme hunting ground.
There are also magic formations like the Ghost Jue Formation, which are built between heaven and earth with cruel methods to gather essence and spiritual energy and infuse oneself. There are many kinds of magic formations in this part, especially for ghost cultivators.
These three types are collectively called the "Heaven and Earth Array". The most obvious sign is that these arrays are built between heaven and earth.
The second major type is the 'Magical Weapon Array'. Wu Yu has seen a lot about the Magical Weapon Array. Basically all magical weapons and psychic magical weapons exist. In terms of scale, it is not as large as the Heaven and Earth Array, but its effect is exquisite. It is the core of the magical weapon and has long-lasting effectiveness.
The third type is the 'talisman array'. The talisman array is the easiest to draw. It is drawn on the talisman paper and can be attacked at once to release destructive power. Because of the different talisman arrays, the talismans created are also different. Different ones, such as the Communication Talisman and the Benwei Talisman, have no attack power. For example, the Soul-Chasing Electric Talisman and the Soul-eating Talisman are very scary, but they can only be used once.
The fourth type is a magic circle built on mechanisms and puppets. This type of formation is relatively rare, but it is also very precious. In history, some people used this type of formation to create legions of mechanisms and puppets, sweeping the world. It is said that in ancient times, At a certain time, 'organic arrays' and 'puppet arrays' were very popular.
In addition to these four major categories, there are countless magic circles outside the four major categories, which are classified into the category of other magic circles.
Because of the different types, the methods of drawing and copying the magic circle are different.
In fact, the creation method of the magic circle itself is the same, but the way to achieve success is slightly different.
Take the Heaven and Earth Formation, for example. This type of formation is so powerful that it basically takes many years to set up. It also requires a lot of materials, including treasures and fairies, and may also be some evil things, and it is closely related to the terrain location, such as Talking about ghosts. Most of the layout of powerful heaven and earth formations requires a lot of energy and cannot be done by ordinary people. For example, a small heaven and earth formation like the Gate of Hell, Black Mountain Ghost Wing can do it in half a day. Of course, it must have enough. Materials will do.
As for the magic formation that copies the heaven and earth formation, it itself will be much more complicated than other formations, and it is easy to fail.
Then there is the drawing of the 'Magic Weapon Array'. The difference between the Magic Weapon Array and the Talisman Array is not very big, but when drawing the Magic Weapon Array, you need to forge the magic weapon, which requires the use of a 'Weapon Furnace' and For other hammering instruments, precious materials must first be forged into swords or other objects. There are also some strange objects between heaven and earth that can be directly drawn into the array of instruments, such as gourds. But most of them still require the calcining and beating of the weapon in a furnace, and the use of elixir fire, such as a sword. After the sword embryo is completed, the magic weapon array can be drawn into it. After success, the magic weapon can be released from the furnace.
The talisman array requires talisman paper, and the talisman paper is simpler, but the materials still need to be homemade. The more powerful the talisman array, the better the talisman paper will be. However, monks generally do not make their own talisman paper. Most of them Choose to buy and redeem. Some people specialize in making talisman paper and selling it to make money. The steps for making talisman paper are relatively complicated. It is said that some tree-type fairies are used, which is somewhat similar to the papermaking technique in the world. The only difference is that the materials are replaced by fairies, and the cooperation of magic and magic is required.
As for the mechanism magic circle, it is relatively mysterious and is not even introduced in the "General Book of Magic Circles".
"For beginners, the Heaven and Earth Formation is too overbearing and responsible, and the mechanisms and puppet formations are too mysterious. The best ways to practice are the magic weapon array and the talisman formation, and the talisman formation is easy to obtain because of the talisman paper. Generally, beginners will choose to make talismans first and draw a copy of the talisman array."
However, Heishan Guiyi himself is a master of magic circles. In his inventory, there are a large number of 'furnaces' and several hammer-shaped psychic magic weapons. The best of them is better than Wu Yu's 'Three-legged Cauldron Furnace'. 'It's much better. They are all ownerless things now. Wu Yu refined a furnace called the 'Red Flame Furnace'. The furnace is more complicated than the alchemy furnace. In addition to the furnace, it also includes some other tasks. mesa.
Then, he forged an iron hammer called the 'Shattering Hammer'. There was no attack array on this hammer, only the strength, coordination and other magic circles. It was specially forged for the purpose of forging the magic weapon. , and has no attack effect.
The Crimson Flame Furnace and the Sky-shattering Hammer are the most important things for refining magic weapons. In addition, Dan Fire is also needed.
In terms of drawing the magic circle, it is said that Yuanshen cultivators use spiritual power. The Jindan realm does not have such power and can only use Danyuan instead. This is also one of the differences between pseudo magic circle and magic circle.
Because he was not familiar with the Crimson Flame Furnace and the Sky-shattering Hammer, and did not have the skills to be a blacksmith and forge the embryos of magic weapons, and with hundreds of ready-made talismans, Wu Yu was the first to study the 'talisman array'.
Among them, Black Mountain Ghost Wing left a secret book that specifically recorded more than ten kinds of talisman formations. In fact, there is no clear distinction between good and evil talisman formations. After all, there is no need to use some very cruel materials, so among them Wu Yu can basically learn all the talisman formations.
On the contrary, most of the secret scriptures of magic weapon formations he left behind require mortal flesh and soul to guide them, and cannot be learned.
It is said that learning the magic circle and the secret code are very important! The secret code of the magic circle requires a high level of merit to be redeemed. For example, the secret code of talismans in Wu Yu's hand. For each type of talisman magic circle, there is first a magic circle drawn on the book. This is a real magic circle, and it can be Take it out and use it! After all, this paper itself is a talisman paper.
After the real magic circle, there is a description of the origin of this magic circle, and then the order of each stroke. The order is the foundation of the magic circle. If you don’t know the order, it is absolutely impossible to draw and copy it successfully. This is why others get the talisman and have no idea. The reason for the method to copy its magic circle.
In addition to the order, there are many senior skills. Every detail needs to be paid attention to, as well as where and what magic formula should be inserted. Wu Yu only looked at a very simple talisman magic circle called 'Fireball'. Fu', there is a feeling of dizziness.
"The way of the magic circle is too deep, much deeper than the way of alchemy!"
Wu Yu sighed sincerely.
