Chapter 222: Is the Wuxiang Heart Sutra a legitimate practice?
Elder He didn't know how he got through that night.
The backlash from the Wuxiang Heart Sutra had never been this severe before... Had something gone terribly wrong with my trajectory today? All sorts of runaway energy raced through my body.
Even with his Martial Emperor-level cultivation, he almost couldn't hold on!
And there are some strange reactions. What the hell is this?
Is the Wuxiang Heart Sutra a legitimate practice?
Chu Xinghe didn't know whether the Wuxiang Heart Sutra was authentic or not, but he knew that when he saw Elder He early in the morning, there was not only blood at the corners of Elder He's mouth, but also blood coming out of his eyes.
"Elder He...why don't we take a break? We're not that anxious about this Wuxiang Heart Sutra...your health is more important!"
"Haha... Xinghe... You underestimate the Martial Emperor. Although I dare not say that I am the strongest Martial Emperor in our Haotian Sect, my name is also on the Heavenly Dao Ranking. What is this backlash?"
Elder He wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes as he spoke...
In the following days, Chu Xinghe found mixed drinks of different flavors every night... and Elder He could also drink various ginseng teas sent by the sensible Ouyang Ling every night... but the ginseng tea was getting thicker and thicker...
In addition, the backlash of the Wuxiang Heart Sutra is becoming more and more severe... Elder He said that this is only due to his Martial Emperor cultivation level, otherwise he really can't withstand it.
But even if he held on, Elder He looked more and more depressed. However, seeing Elder He becoming more and more depressed, Chu Xinghe finally felt relieved.
Judging from the current pace, Elder He won’t be able to hold out for too long in the face of the backlash, right?
Once Elder He gives up, it will basically mean that the Wuxiang Heart Sutra is completely finished.
However, for safety reasons, Chu Xinghe felt that he could not give up surveillance. He had to keep a close eye on Elder He and must not cause any trouble at the critical moment. Of course, he also had to persuade Elder He to retreat when he could no longer hold on.
So Chu Xinghe didn't even go to the Hidden Power Tower these days, and stayed in the Equipment Refining Palace every day... Of course, Chu Xinghe certainly couldn't say that he came to look after Elder He. Chu Xinghe's reason was... I came to see if my Junior Brother Ouyang has been working hard recently.
But you don’t know until you see it. When Chu Xinghe saw it, he almost peed himself...
Ouyang Ming's furnace is no longer in chaos. Under the Cloud Piercing Hammer Technique, all kinds of spiritual weapons and tools are popping out. Not only is Ouyang Ming's output stable, but other disciples of the Ouyang family are also making rapid progress under Ouyang Ming's guidance.
Now, no matter what kind of spiritual weapons the palaces need, Ouyang Ming can create them effortlessly while eating the chilled Lingyun Fruit.
Chu Xinghe sighed secretly after seeing this... Ouyang Ming, Ouyang Ming, I, your senior brother Xinghe, have treated you well, right?
Is this how you treat your senior brother Xinghe?
Do you still have any conscience?
No! I need to take action!
Finally, Chu Xinghe couldn't sit still anymore.
On this day, Ouyang Ming was forging spiritual weapons without provoking anyone.
"Bang..." A spiritual sword that was 70% forged and was being tempered broke in the refining furnace.
Ouyang Ming didn't think it was a big deal. Even the strongest weapon refiner in the world couldn't guarantee 100% success, right? There was indeed some small risk in this tempering.
But just when Ouyang Ming was about to start over, Senior Brother Xinghe spoke up.
"Ouyang... I think there's something wrong with your fire."
Hearing this, Ouyang Ming was stunned. To be honest, if anyone else said this at this moment, Ouyang Ming would jump up and spit in their face.
Are you kidding me here?
You said there's something wrong with my furnace? Do you even know anything about refining?
I am the best weapon refiner in the world!
Do you see the fruit knife that my sister is using to cut the Lingyun fruit?
That's the light of the galaxy that guides our Ouyang family forward. It's a super artifact, you know? And I'm the maker of this fruit knife!
So you're talking about a hearth? Come on... build me a super artifact!
Even if a refiner of Ou Yunsheng's level said there was a problem with his furnace, Ouyang Ming would jump up and hit the opponent in the face.
But it was Senior Brother Xinghe who spoke now. Ouyang Ming immediately pulled out his notebook and said seriously, "Senior Brother Xinghe, my furnace fire uses our family's tempering method. It uses the seven-tempering method, which requires two more temperings than the more common five-tempering method."
"If Senior Brother Xinghe thinks there's something wrong, I can change it!"
Chu Xinghe had no idea what seven or five times meant... But it didn't matter. Refining equipment was just like refining pills. If there was even a slight change, all sorts of failures would likely follow. So Chu Xinghe directly said that the seven-time method... was too many times. You could try six times.
You hear this number is auspicious, so just say it’s six or not!
Ouyang Ming didn't think too much and quickly started to try according to Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions.
A moment later... a gleaming, top-grade spiritual sword was born...
"Senior Brother Xinghe is truly brilliant... Reducing one tempering not only reduces the failure rate but also improves the quality...Senior Brother Xinghe, you still say you don't understand refining!"
Ouyang Ming's tearful eyes are so cute.
Senior Brother Xinghe has only been in our Weapon Refining Palace for a few days?
I was wrong. I, Ouyang Ming, was totally wrong. I used to think that I was the strongest weapon refiner in the world and that my talent in weapon refinement was unparalleled.
Now it seems, how can I compare with Senior Brother Xinghe?
Senior Brother Xinghe only looked at it for a few days and immediately discovered the important flaw of the seven-backfire method. By reducing one backfire, the method can take off directly.
Senior Brother Xinghe simply hasn't learned how to refine weapons, otherwise what would be the point for me, Ouyang Ming?
Ouyang Ming used a fruit knife to cut a Lingyun fruit to express his congratulations.
Chu Xinghe was completely confused... This is totally unreasonable, right?
I'm going all out!
"Ouyang, are you satisfied with this top-notch product? There's also a problem with the furnace temperature. Lower the temperature for the first two times and increase it for the next two times, and continue forging!"
Ouyang Ming was confused after hearing this, but since Senior Brother Xinghe said so, let’s give it a try!
Soon, this top-grade spiritual weapon began to be forged again, and a moment later... a low-grade holy weapon appeared...
Looking at the spiritual sword that was shining with the light of a holy weapon, Ouyang Ming felt ashamed.
He is worthy of being my senior brother Xinghe... Originally, the sword had failed to be forged, but my senior brother Xinghe changed the fire-returning method without a word and successfully refined a top-grade spiritual weapon.
I was feeling very satisfied just now, but in the eyes of Senior Brother Xinghe, this top-quality product is nothing.
Senior Brother Lu Huoxinghe also saw the problem. With this instruction...the best product instantly became a holy product! Senior Brother Xinghe is so domineering!
Chu Xinghe was also confused when he looked at the holy spiritual soldier. Could this be any more outrageous?
Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then spoke again: "Ouyang, please increase the strength of this forging technique by three times, and try again!"
Ouyang Ming nodded seriously and began to rebuild this holy spiritual weapon.
A moment later, following Senior Brother Xinghe's technique... a high-level holy weapon was born...
But before Ouyang Ming had time to lament that Senior Brother Xinghe was going to defy the will of heaven, Chu Xinghe spoke again.
"Reduce the force during the final shaping process by another three points, and then temper it one more time!"
"Okay!" Ouyang Ming followed Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions with a serious face.
A moment later... a quasi-divine weapon that seemed to contain seven colors of light was born...
Ouyang Ming was completely stunned as he held the quasi-divine weapon in his hands.
Is this the strength of my Senior Brother Xinghe? Senior Brother Xinghe, please tell me what changes I need to make next. We are almost able to create a divine weapon.
Chu Xinghe is offline.
Could this be any more outrageous?
Have I, Chu Xinghe, reached this level in guiding others?
Still giving you advice? I'll give you advice...
If this continues, a divine weapon will definitely be born today...
My opinion is that this spiritual weapon hasn't even reached the level of a divine weapon, so if it's really no use, let's just scrap it...
No... My heart really can't take it today. What have I done today?
I just want to destroy a spiritual weapon, is it that difficult?
Chu Xinghe walked all the way to Elder He. When he saw Elder He, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, saying that he had made great progress, he finally calmed down a little.
Elder He...is this a huge progress?
You look pale and like you're about to die... And don't wipe it anymore, you're bleeding from all seven orifices. The more you wipe, the scarier you look, okay?
In the next few days, Chu Xinghe kept a close eye on Elder He, who was indeed the most powerful chief elder in Haotian Sect.
Elder He proved with facts that no matter how intense the obsession was, he could withstand it.
Although he was bleeding from all seven orifices, Elder He could still devote himself to the study of the Formless Heart Sutra again by taking a few pills.
Moreover, Elder He has also summed up a pattern. The backlash of this Wuxiang Heart Sutra is very mild during the day, and he can withstand it completely. But it is more severe at night... He drinks ginseng tea with the same fruity flavor as lotus root powder every day, but he can't withstand the backlash of the Wuxiang Heart Sutra at night. It is worthy of being a god-level skill. It is indeed extraordinary and has day and night effects.
Seeing that Elder He was becoming more and more depressed the more he studied, Chu Xinghe finally couldn't help but find the Great Elder and asked him to stop Elder He. What if Elder He continued to practice like this and something happened?
After hearing this, the Great Elder smiled and said, "Xinghe... you're still too young. What's Lao He's level of cultivation? Could anything happen to him? You're overthinking it. Don't worry about it. Let Lao He figure it out on his own."
Chu Xinghe was helpless, but he didn't dare to go to the Equipment Refining Palace for the time being.
It's not that I'm worried about Elder He getting into trouble. After all, Elder He's cultivation level is there, so even if he goes astray, it won't be too dangerous.
The main danger comes from Ouyang Ming... Ouyang Ming has made great progress under his guidance, and his overall craftsmanship level has actually been raised to a higher level... If he talks with Ouyang Ming more, will he be able to pass it?
Humph! You still want my advice? I can't give you any advice, Ou Yangming!
Chu Xinghe began to go to Haotian Palace to learn formations from Yan Shoujing, but why are the formations taught by the deputy sect leader becoming more and more erratic recently?
So is there a normal person in our Haotian Sect?
Seeing that Chu Xinghe was making no progress day by day, Yan Shoujing was also very happy!
Humph! You still want me to give you some advice? I can't give you any advice, Chu Xinghe!
