Chapter 210 Refining Method
Bian Weiying quickly regained his senses and asked, "Can you help me?"
Shi Chun glanced at the blue mist slowly descending from the sky, "Do you know the detailed process of refining the immobilization talisman?"
Bian Weiying: "The refining process from beginning to end is basically completed by the disciples of various levels in the sect. I basically know the whole process, but there is one link that no one else knows except my grandfather and father. This hidden link is a top secret that is not passed on to others. This is what I lack."
Shi Chun: "Can you demonstrate the entire refining process to me?"
Bian Weiying: "I said I can't demonstrate the whole process."
Shi Chun: "Show me the refining process you know, and tell me which part is missing."
Bian Weiying was skeptical, "Can we find the missing secret method of refining in this way?"
She didn't quite believe it. Most of the refining processes had been handled by too many people and would have been leaked long ago. Wu Kangshan had experienced so many incidents of spies or undercover leaks that she couldn't count them on one hand. If it was really that easy to find out the secrets from the refining process, the secret refining method would not have been preserved until now.
Shi Chun: “Try it.”
Bian Weiying thought it was unnecessary, but considering the insistent look in his eyes and the ability he showed at the Tianyu Liuxing Conference, she had some expectations. After a little hesitation, she felt that it didn't matter. She just thought of it as the two of them having fun together, so she nodded and said, "Let's start from now on."
She pointed at the blue bamboos spread out in front of her, "This step is called 'Cai Xuan', which is the second step of internal cultivation. The first step is to buy blue bamboos. You can collect them yourself or purchase them. As long as they are dried, they will do. I don't need to show you this first step, right?"
Shi Chun: "If you are just purchasing blue bamboo and there is nothing else to it, then there is really no need for a demonstration."
Bian Weiying continued to explain: "The refining of the fixed body talisman is divided into external refining and internal refining. The external refining refers to the process of refining the talisman paper, and the internal refining refers to the process of refining the internal power of the talisman. The first step of the internal refining is to purchase, the second step is to collect the mysteries, the third step is to burn the mysteries, the fourth step is to purify the mysteries, and the fifth step is to combine the mysteries. There are five steps in total.
Now is the second step of collecting Xuan. The time of this process is uncertain, mainly depending on how long the strange colors in the sky last. If it lasts for a long time, you need to turn the spread blue bamboo over every hour. The third step is burning Xuan. If you want to watch, you need to wait until the second step is over."
Shi Chun thought about it and asked, "Which part is the top secret that cannot be passed on to others?"
Bian Weiying: "In terms of external training, there are six steps: the first step is to gather immortals, the second step is to brew immortals, the third step is to forge immortals, the fourth step is to seal immortals, the fifth step is to sink immortals, and the sixth step is to combine immortals. Internal training depends on the weather, although it is critical, the process is actually relatively simple. On the contrary, the steps of this external training are more complicated, and the span of time is about half a month. The secret is in the fifth step of sinking immortals."
Hearing that the process would take half a month, Shi Chun suddenly felt a toothache. How could he have half a month to slowly watch it? So he said, "External refining is so troublesome, so why not demonstrate the refining process? Just tell me the general idea."
Bian Weiying smiled and roughly explained: "The first step, collecting immortals, also means purchasing, purchasing a kind of rattan called 'Tiger Immortal Yellow'. The second step, brewing immortals, is to peel the 'Tiger Immortal Yellow', crush it into pulp, soak it in the prepared medicine, and take its pulp, similar to papermaking. The third step, forging immortals, is to dry the taken pulp and forge it into the shape of talisman paper. The fourth step, sealing immortals, is to grade and mark the inside and outside of the talisman paper. The fifth step, sinking immortals, is to soak the talisman paper with medicine again. The wet talisman paper is taken out again and distributed to various places according to the grade to complete the talismans of various grades, which is the sixth step, combining immortals. Combining immortals and combining Xuan are the same process. After the talismans are dried, the talismans are successfully refined."
Shi Chun said thoughtfully, "You mean to say that there is a secret hidden in the potion that the fifth-step Shenxian soaked in?"
Bian Weiying nodded, "Yes, this step is usually handled by my grandfather and father personally, and no outsiders can do it. I have also made various attempts and I am sure that the missing link is in the preparation process of this potion, and the key secret method of refining lies in it."
Shi Chun: "In other words, the fifth-step Shenxian has a special secret place for refining?"
Bian Weiying: "The place where it is refined is in the sect's forbidden area. Others are not allowed to enter without permission. In addition, my grandfather has been in seclusion in the forbidden area for a long time, so it is impossible for others to sneak in."
Shi Chun didn't expect the refining process to be so complicated, mainly because it took too long. He was a little bit unconfident, but he still tried to ask: "When will the fifth step of refining be carried out?"
Bian Weiying gestured to the spreading Yu Lanzhu with his slightly double chin, "After the second step of Caixuan is completed, the fifth step of Shenxian Soaking will begin."
Shi Chun was startled, "Doesn't the external training take half a month?"
Bian Weiying: "Half a month is correct. Most of the time was spent on the first four steps. The fourth step of sealing the immortals stored a lot of talisman paper to be continued. Then it depends on the weather. After the internal training can begin, the fifth step of external training will continue. Because the soaking time cannot be too long, it can only be controlled at about an hour. After taking it out, you have to proceed to the next step while it is still wet. If it dries up, it will be useless."
Shi Chun's eyes lit up slightly, "That is to say, after the Cai Xuan step is completed, whoever sneaks into the forbidden refining area will be able to see the secret of refining?"
Bian Weiying nodded, "That's true. However, it's unrealistic. It's impossible to sneak in quietly. It's useless to forcefully seize the secrets. The royal court doesn't approve of it. We can't occupy the spiritual veins here. It's also fake to have the secret method of refining. This is why the Bian family has been able to keep the secret method of refining for so many years."
Shi Chun suddenly looked down at his feet, because he saw with his right eye's special ability that the mist with a faint blue glow finally fell in front of him. If the mist fell on the wet blue bamboo, it would stick to it, and if it fell on the tiles, it would pass through it as if it were nothing and continue to float to the ground. The stone wall could not hold it, but the mountain ground of Wukang Mountain could withstand it.
As for those materials between illusion and reality, Shi Chunqing let out an "eh" and leaned over to pick a blue bamboo. He waved it gently in his hand, gently stirring up the blue mist that continued to fall. Anyone who touched it would be stuck to the blue bamboo.
Not long after, the blue bamboo in his hand was covered by a layer of faint blue light. Only his right eye could see it, but the weight in his hand did not increase at all.
He brought it close to his right eye and observed it carefully. After observing it for a while, he could vaguely see that the so-called mist was a bunch of tiny particles. He could feel that this thing was the one that exerted the power of the immobilization talisman, but he didn't know how it could exert such power. Bian Weiying watched for a while, but in the end he still felt that he couldn't understand him, so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
Shi Chun shook his head slightly and threw the blue bamboo in his hand onto the tiles. Looking at the spread out blue bamboo, they were all stained with a layer of light blue. The entire top of Wukang Mountain was covered with a layer of light blue like frost and snow, which was very beautiful.
Retracting his gaze, he tilted his head and asked, "After the collection is over, can you take me to the forbidden area to have a look?"
Bian Weiying: "Are you kidding? I can't even get in myself, how can I take you in?"
Shi Chun: "If you don't want to go in, just go nearby and take a look around the forbidden area."
Bian Weiying frowned, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Shi Chun: "I want to help you find the answer before I leave."
Women always fall for sweet talk. When she heard that it was for her, Bian Weiying replied unhappily, "We agreed to stay nearby. Don't mess around."
Shi Chun: "I have to be brave enough to do anything. If I dare to do anything, do I need you to take me with you?"
Bian Weiying rolled his eyes at him and noticed that many eyes were looking at them, so he jumped down and called Shi Chun to go into the house together.
It was unknown how long the strange phenomenon in the sky would last, and the two of them were not idle either. Shi Chun wanted to understand how the slightly blue mist was transformed into the power of the talisman, so Bian Weiying gave him a brief demonstration of internal cultivation.
She picked a branch of blue bamboo from outside, found a brazier, and set it on fire, burning it completely to ashes. This meant that it had to be completely burned to ashes. This was the so-called third step of burning the bamboo.
The so-called Jingxuan is easier to understand. Just use special tools to clean the ashes produced by burning.
The conditions here are limited, but through Bian Weiying's demonstration and explanation, Shi Chun understood that, in the final analysis, it is actually about collecting the blue thing that falls from the sky.
In fact, he felt that this fourth step of purification was a bit unnecessary.
Because he saw that as the fire started, the slightly blue substance attached to the lush blue bamboo fell off, and the brazier was unable to catch it. This substance between fantasy and reality passed through the brazier, through the floor tiles, and settled underground.
It seems that Shaoxuan and Jingxuan's magic weapons are indeed special, otherwise it would be impossible for them to catch this thing.
If the right method is adopted, in the third step, the blue substance can be collected cleanly as soon as the fire is burned, and there is no need to separate it from the ashes for the second time.
All he could do was see through all these without saying anything, and let Wu Kangshan follow his own traditions.
As for the fifth step, He Xuan, he could easily understand it by listening to the description, because he could see that it was to combine the slightly blue object and the talisman paper into one.
But the current blue object does not have the magical power of the immobilization talisman. In other words, the power can only be generated after it is combined with the talisman paper.
It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden in the talisman paper, and the fifth step of external cultivation, Shenxian, is indeed crucial.
An hour later, busy sounds were heard outside. Bian Weiying called him out to help again. The swaying figures were quickly turning over the spread out blue bamboo.
Shi Chun could understand what this step of refining meant, and the other side that was not stuck with the slightly blue substance also had to come into play.
He was very curious, could the person who created the method of refining the body talisman also see these visions? Thinking of the unnecessary steps of "Jingxuan", he became a little confused.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, blowing the leaves of the lush blue bamboo, but it had no effect on the light blue mist that fell from the sky. Although it was light, the wind could not affect it in the slightest.
This scene made Shi Chun's heart move slightly. He dropped the work in his hands and left quickly.
Bian Weiying shouted, "Where are you going?"
Shi Chun did not respond. He left the yard, tiptoed all the way to avoid stepping on the blue bamboo, and came to the edge of the mountain. He looked at the slope on the cliff and found that there was a thick layer of blue substance piled up at the bottom of the slope.
