My construction materials are weird

“Exactly, exactly… what is a genius in the eyes of Master Xuan?”

Jin Ning asked with some difficulty.

Xuan Huang was taken aback, “Why do you ask that?”

“Master Xuan, it was the seniors and the pavilion master who asked me to ask. They want to know what a genius is, and whether to focus on refining techniques or merging techniques?”

After Jin Ning finished speaking, he looked at the others with a depressed expression.

He always felt that he was too naive and had been fooled by these old guys.

“So that’s it!” Xuan Huang smiled and said, “There’s nothing that can’t be said. In my opinion, a genius should at least be able to comprehend a complete visualization diagram in one epiphany.”

“Well, you guys are okay, but almost there.”

Xuan Huang looked at the expectant crowd.

As soon as these words fell, everyone felt embarrassed, and finally understood what Master Xuan thought a genius was.

Too bad!

Unfortunately, they were not.

Too painful.

“For those with extraordinary talent, being able to fully comprehend the visualization diagram once under the guidance of my will is the standard.”

Everyone was stunned. Was the standard so high?

“Alright, although you are not top geniuses, you are also outstanding talents. Moreover, you have a strong foundation. Transcendence is only a matter of time for you ten.”

“After transcendence, because the technique I created is very special, essence, qi, and spirit need to be refined together. Therefore, a first-level Xuan Transformation has at least 200 years of lifespan, giving you enough time to climb… Just strengthen your will and work hard to move forward.”

“Firmness and effort are themselves a kind of talent, and the best supplement to absolute talent.” Seeing the distracted crowd, Xuan Huang added, “I know you are asking this because you are thinking about the choice between refining techniques and merging techniques?”

“I’ll use the three of you as examples.”

Xuan Huang pointed to the Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist individuals.

“Taking you as an example, because you have reached the seventh level in Qi Refining and Spirit Refining, it means that at least one of your essence, qi, and spirit has reached the seventh level.”

“With this premise, it means that your seventh level of Will Refining is unhindered. The place where you spend time is to make up for the shortcomings of the essence, so that the essence also reaches the seventh level.”

“In other words, if you want your will to improve quickly… you need at least one aspect of your essence, qi, and spirit to be strong, and use that strong point as a support to lead the progress of the other two points. Is that clear?”

With this explanation, everyone understood that will unifies essence, qi, and spirit.

If you want your will to improve quickly, at least one of your essence, qi, and spirit needs to be outstanding.

Therefore, Xuan Huang added, “Refining techniques, merging techniques, at least a ratio of ten to one. If merging techniques are perfected in one year, refining techniques will take ten years… I suggest you practice both techniques together, first use merging techniques to improve your abilities, and then use refining techniques to enhance your foundation.”

“At a deeper level, you need your own foundation as a support. My merging techniques can get you started, but if you want to become a top powerhouse, you still need your own strong will.”

After hearing this, everyone made a decision in their hearts.

“Go now.”

Xuan Huang waved his hand, dismissing the ten.

“Yes!”

The ten bid farewell to Xuan Huang.

…

“Is that what Master Xuan calls a genius? As expected, we thought too much.”

Sun Hui sighed leisurely.

“Hmph, if I had known I would be humiliated, I wouldn’t have asked. I said that the genius in Master Xuan’s eyes is being compared to Master Xuan himself. Even if they can’t compare to one ten-thousandth of Master Xuan, it’s not something we can covet. You insisted on me asking.”

Jin Ning still felt aggrieved, and really couldn’t play with these old guys.

“Hehe, Fellow Daoist Jin Ning, you are wrong. You are now walking in front of us, the first to fully comprehend the visualization diagram. According to ancient times, you are our eldest brother, and the eldest brother should be responsible.”

“Yes, yes, yes, what the Daoist said is right, Jin Ning, you are the eldest brother.” Wu Gang patted Jin Ning on the shoulder, encouraging him.

“Eldest brother?” Jin Ning was a little dazed.

Was this real?

It seemed to be true.

“Eldest brother, can you tell us how it feels to comprehend the complete visualization diagram?”

Daoist Ma interjected and asked.

It seemed that he still needed to ‘cultivate’.

“It feels very strange, as if connected to Master Xuan’s spiritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Furnace. It’s just that I can subtly borrow the power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace… I choose to merge techniques. In the future, every time I condense a rune, I can deepen the connection with the spiritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and borrow more power.”

No mistake, one first, one inside, one capacity, one look!

“In addition, after the complete visualization diagram takes shape, it will suppress my soul in place of my will, which means that I can continue to refine my body without worrying about losing control.”

He added, “Of course, it’s not an unlimited enhancement of body refinement. You need to constantly engrave runes to deepen the connection with the spiritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, so that you can borrow more power… The more I borrow, the more I can enhance the level of body refinement.”

“…I haven’t used the other things yet, but I think I have the means to fight against the strange.”

After saying this, everyone seemed to suddenly understand.

Yan Lai said, “Can you slightly activate the Heaven and Earth Furnace in the sea of consciousness to fight against the strange?”

“Yes, Mr. Yan Lai is right, that’s it. You can slightly use the Heaven and Earth Furnace to resist, but the intensity is not great, and I need to continue condensing runes… It’s still the same sentence, the more runes are engraved, the deeper the connection with the spiritual artifact, the stronger the ability I borrow.”

Everyone nodded.

Wu Gang said, “Is it really as Master Xuan said? Then how many runes do you think you can condense at this moment?”

Jin Ning thought for a while, “This? My will is barely at the peak of the first level, not yet at the second level. That is to say, I can easily condense one rune, and the second rune is a bit difficult.”

After speaking, he looked at the three Confucian, Taoist, and Buddhist individuals, “Seniors, Master Xuan said before that after you comprehend the complete visualization diagram, you will improve very quickly… It should be what Master Xuan said, your will is very strong, to the extent of the fourth level of Will Refining… Your fourth level of Will Refining has no obstacles, and you can easily inscribe four runes. Moreover, you are still at the seventh level of Qi Refining and Spirit Refining, which means that there is no barrier before the seventh level of Will Refining.”

The three nodded.

After all, they were old guys, and their accumulation over the years was still very strong.

The three also chose to temporarily merge techniques, and then catch up with refining techniques after becoming stronger.

Thinking of this, they thought of the two books and two diagrams in Sun Hui’s hands.

The wise monk felt that he had a better talent for Spirit Refining, and he planned to observe the Gui Xu Great Mill visualization diagram and the Gui Xu Nine Seals technique.

Yan Lai and Taoist Jiu Tong, however, identified the Tongtian Jianmu visualization diagram and the Jianmu Huanzhen technique.

Among the others, Daoist Ma had the Jianmu visualization diagram.

Zhao Long, the martial artist, naturally had the Heaven and Earth Furnace visualization diagram.

Du Ming also had the Tongtian Jianmu visualization diagram and the Jianmu Huanzhen technique.

Only Minghui, the monk, was refining his spirit. The others were refining their bodies and qi.

However, some of them wanted to try both or even three cultivations, and personally try it out. If the progress was okay, they would naturally be more comprehensive.

If it was very slow, they could only focus on one discipline.

Especially Taoist Jiu Tong, Monk Huiming, and Yan Lai.
