Chapter 453: Danding Sect's True Fire Cultivation (Added)
Murong Ji nodded, and then he heard Qu Tong say, "Without pain, there is no joy, and no feeling of happiness and joy. What is the meaning of living then?"

As soon as the voice fell, Qu Tong rode on Murong Ji. Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Of course, watch my dragon-catching skills!"

Murong Ji: "..."

Dawn the next day.

After Murong Ji got up and washed, he found a place to do morning lessons.

Not long after, Qu Tong came over and followed Murong Ji's example to do morning exercises. She was very short on time and was not very diligent in practicing.

If Murong Ji had not helped her to overcome the three disasters and nine difficulties by practicing the method of overcoming tribulations, she would still be just an ordinary alien now.

The sun had just risen, and facing the sunlight, Murong Ji began to absorb the purple energy coming from the east. Now he was unwilling to let go of any cultivation resources.

After all, the resources in this world are too scarce.

When he came to his senses, he found Qu Tong sitting under his shadow, staring at him blankly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just looking at you."

Murong Ji withdrew his gaze and saw Liu Dang practicing boxing on the hill below them.

Qu Tong sat next to Murong Ji and looked at Liu Dang with great satisfaction, "Husband, is this Liu Dang still pleasing to your eyes?"

Murong Ji frowned slightly, "No."

"How could that be?! Because he doesn't have the qualifications?!! But hasn't that been resolved now?" Qu Tong didn't quite understand. What were Murong Ji's criteria for accepting disciples?
Murong Ji glanced at her calmly, then looked at Liu Dang, "In my opinion, his qualifications are pretty good, and he has also made changes in his consciousness. I asked Director Zhao to investigate his experience."

"The problem is his character. Let's not talk about the boxing match for now. In daily life alone, he maimed three people and seriously injured one person. The matter was settled by his financial backer."

"His acquaintance with Jin Yong was also very dramatic. Just because Jin Yong looked at him a few times, he attacked Jin Yong. Hehe, is it a blessing or a curse for Ma Xianhong to turn such a person into an extraordinary person?"

Suddenly, Liu Dang also saw them, bowed to them, and then walked towards the mountain.

Murong Ji pulled Qu Tong up and said lightly, "Let's go."

Qu Tong looked back at Liu Dang and said, "Honey, I think this Liu Dang is pretty good. His performance in Biyou Village...what if he changes?"

Murong Ji glanced at Qu Tong with a half-smile, and said in a deep voice: "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature. You can tell what a person is like from his eyes."

As he spoke, he handed Qu Tong a photo. It was a photo of Liu Dang when he was boxing. "The light in his eyes was sharp and fierce. If the law hadn't restrained him, he would have killed long ago."

"Look at his eyes now, is there any difference from what he had before?"

Murong Ji deliberately waited for a while, just to let Qu Tong see Liu Dang's eyes.

Soon, Liu Dang ran up and said, "Master Murong! Sister Qu, you guys should also come for morning exercises."

Murong Ji nodded lightly. Qu Tong took the photo and compared it carefully. Finally, she just held up the photo to compare.

Qu Tong was very smart and quickly saw the problem. With a slight smile, she replied, "Yes, we have finished our exercise and will go back first. You can get busy now."

Then, he took Murong Ji's arm and went down the mountain.

While eating breakfast, Murong Ji was startled. He saw Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye. Didn’t he ask them to leave overnight? Why were they still here?
But it doesn't matter. Whether they leave or not has nothing to do with him.

After breakfast, Murong Ji returned to the cave on the mountainside. This time, Qu Tong followed him, sitting on a stool, watching Murong Ji organize the materials and then refine the weapon.

From smelting materials to forming the magic weapon, and even carving the patterns on the weapon after several days and nights, the process was quite tiring. Qu Tong would occasionally leave the cave to deal with company matters.

I would also go back to the cave and sleep on that simple bed.

It was not until Murong Ji extinguished the fire in the furnace and took out a Taoist banner that was more than one meter tall, with the two words "Juxian" occupying almost most of the area.

Countless densely packed golden runes slowly dimmed.

Finally, as Murong Ji began to operate the Gathering Immortal Banner, countless forces were absorbed and transformed into layers of white mist and pitch-black mist. In a short time, they filled the cave.

Qu Tong didn't know what the mist was, but when she inhaled the white mist into her body, she felt so comfortable, as if her body had become a lot lighter.

"What is this? Why does it feel..."

Murong Ji put away the Juxian Banner and exhaled slowly, "Spiritual energy and evil energy, you can also call it Xuanhuang Qi."

Qu Tong took a deep breath. She was not a novice in cultivation, so she naturally understood the weight of the word "Xuanhuang".

The Book of Changes: Kun says: "The dark and yellow are the mixture of heaven and earth. The sky is dark and the earth is yellow."

This is the original power between heaven and earth. In the final analysis, this is the real power to steal heaven and earth! Qu Tong's pupils shrank and he exhaled slowly.

Without waiting to speak, Murong Ji's hand flashed with light, and countless mists were directly absorbed into his hand, and then slowly sank into Murong Ji's body. The next moment, Murong Ji's momentum surged, and an invisible rhythm spread from his body. The oppressive feeling of momentum made Qu Tong a little breathless.

It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on her.

The aura around Murong Ji slowly calmed down. He had reached the sixth level of Yuqing. With this level of cultivation, he could barely use many magic techniques.

Even if he faces some ruthless people, he can still fight them.

Qu Tong breathed slowly, and it felt like she had walked through the gates of hell. For some reason, she kind of... liked that feeling of suffocation and oppression.

"I, I'll go get some water."

"No need. We have prepared it here." Murong Ji opened the water tank beside him, took out some water and started to clean.

Qu Tong hurried out of the cave and stood at the entrance. She was still trembling as if she was suffering from fear deep in her heart. She rubbed her cheeks and walked down the mountain.

When he came back, he was holding a basket in his hands.

Murong Ji looked at the dishes that had just come out of the pot, put them down, and ate quietly.

"Brother-in-law, I heard you have made something good again? Come and show it to me." Ma Xianhong strode in, followed by another person, Liu Dang.
He glanced inside the cave and his eyes fell on Murong Ji who was eating, his face full of eagerness.

Murong Ji waved his left hand and threw something like a scroll directly over. Ma Xianhong hurriedly caught it, sat aside, and shook it vigorously.

A Taoist banner that was more than one meter tall and more than thirty centimeters wide appeared in front of Ma Xianhong.

Ma Xianhong couldn’t quite understand this thing!
"Brother-in-law, the weapon refining method you use is different from other weapon refining methods in the world, right? Or is it a different system?"

Murong Ji drank a bowl of rice soup and finally felt full. Before he could speak, he heard Ma Xianhong continue, "I have also copied your Qiankun Mirror, but I couldn't refine it. Is it related to this Bagua furnace?"

Murong Ji wiped his mouth and said, "It is somewhat related. When refining a weapon to a certain level, if you want to improve the quality further, you need to add some things, such as Tao."

"Not only that, but we also need to improve the quality of the flame. This is one of the sources of Taoist true fire. Of course, the main function of true fire is to cultivate oneself. Treat your internal organs, limbs and bones as instruments for training."

"Alchemists use it as an alchemy furnace, and tool practitioners use it as a spiritual treasure. Use the meridians as tool patterns, and bones, blood and flesh as materials, that's all."

Ma Xianhong's head buzzed, and suddenly something seemed to have clicked in him. He put away the Gathering Immortal Banner and no longer had the heart to study this magical weapon.

He remained silent and began to think carefully.

Murong Ji didn't interrupt him. He knew what Ma Xianhong was thinking. There was a big problem involved, human will.

Taoist true fire, no matter it is for refining elixirs or weapons, this true fire, even the person himself may not be able to withstand it, it can only be done little by little, step by step.

What ordinary people can do it? They don't even have that kind of willpower. Even if they persevere, they will die in pain.

For example, if Qu Tong couldn't bear his own true energy, the burning sensation would burn them alive.

"Don't think about it. Think about who can withstand the forging of true fire?" Murong Ji and Qu Tong cleaned up the table, then took the rag and started washing and wiping it.

"Sun Wukong was transformed from the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone, and he could only withstand the Six Ding Divine Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire nearly killed him."

"Think about it yourself..."

Ma Xianhong nodded, "I didn't think of doing it once and for all. I just thought of doing it in multiple times and using the self-cultivation furnace to complete my own transformation."

Murong Ji nodded and said nothing more.

Qu Tong's cell phone rang. She took a look at the number and walked outside in order not to disturb the conversation between Murong Ji and the other person.

Ma Xianhong suddenly said, "By the way, brother-in-law, Liu Dang wants to take you as his master. I think he's a good guy. Would you like to take a look?"

Murong Ji's face darkened, and he glanced at Liu Dang who was standing silently beside him, and asked with a smile: "Really? You want to take me as your master?"

"Plop!" Liu Dang knelt directly in front of Murong Ji.

"Mr. Murong, I know you are a capable person. Now that I have become an extraordinary person, I also want to meditate and attain enlightenment like you. I..."

"You want the possibility of immortality, right? Ascension?"

Liu Dang's tone stagnated, he raised his head and looked at Murong Ji, his face full of pleading, "If I really have the qualifications, I...I...please accept me!"

Murong Ji lowered his brows slightly, looked at Ma Xianhong, and asked, "What do you think?"

Ma Xianhong shook his head. "I can't decide on this matter. I'm just acting as a matchmaker. It's up to you whether you want to accept it or not."

Murong Ji nodded, "If he wants to become my disciple, he can come by himself. It's not like he can't see me. Asking you to act as a middleman is to force me to give you face."
