Steward Liu and the others were beaten so badly that they could barely breathe. They lay on the street like dead dogs. In the past, they had gone too far and had already aroused public anger. If it weren't for the advice of a few prudent old men, they would have been beaten to death. In the end, everyone threw them to their own doorsteps like dead dogs. This matter could be said to be very satisfying.
At noon, the small restaurant was filled with laughter. Little Tingting's smile was exceptionally bright. She was no longer worried or afraid. Uncle Jiang also let out the anger in his heart, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have melted a lot. He made several dishes, such as rabbit meat in red, rabbit meatballs in clear soup, sweet and sour rabbit ribs, green leaf roll chicken, spicy diced chicken, and some vegetables and wild fruits.
This meal lasted for a long time. From time to time, it was mixed with laughter. This harmonious atmosphere gave Ye Fan the illusion that he had returned home.
After lunch, Ye Fan directly went deep into the mountains. He began to try to control the "Divine Glyphs" because it was very crucial and important for his later cultivation.
Every "Divine Glyphs" was like a divine iron chain, lingering above the golden sea of bitterness. This was the primitive form formed by the condensation of life essence.
Cultivators could sacrifice the "Divine Glyphs" into various shapes, such as flying knives, daggers, and so on. They could be released from the body to kill the enemy, which was more effective than the "Divine Glyphs". Some people would spend a lot of time and effort to sacrifice the primitive "Divine Glyphs" into flying swords, small shields, divine halberds, and so on. This way, it would be easier to control, and its power would be much greater when facing the enemy.
There were also some people who were not afraid of complexity and mystery. They repeatedly tempered the "Divine Glyphs" into "cauldrons", "bells", or "towers", and so on, which could exert all kinds of mysterious power.
Legend has it that the "tools" refined by a few cultivators using the "Divine Glyphs" might undergo unexpected changes in the later stages. The "Path of Dao" interweaved inside the "tool", which had unfathomable power.
Of course, the probability of this was very low. Only those extremely talented and powerful cultivators might have such a chance.
Based on past experience, the more complicated and profound the "artifact" refined from the primitive "divine pattern", the more powerful it was. Relatively speaking, the "cauldron", "bell", or "tower" had a higher chance of interweaving the "path of the Dao" within it.
Of course, the more complicated a "tool" was, the more difficult it was to take shape. Even after spending an endless amount of time and energy, they might not even be able to forge a silhouette, wasting their time.
Moreover, even if he was lucky and succeeded, it would be difficult for him to reap the rewards after cultivating bitterly to the later stages. After all, the chances of the trajectory of the Dao appearing was too tiny, and it was only a legend to most cultivators, and it only belonged to a few extraordinary figures.
It was very important for a cultivator to refine a primitive "Divine Rune" into a "Tool". Everyone treated it seriously because it was the foundation of their "Object Manipulation" in the future.
For example, Han Feiyu controlled the Green Wood Treasure Seal, Elder Han controlled the 12 green wooden swords, and the heartless Taoist controlled many kinds of spiritual weapons. The premise was that they had already refined the primitive "Divine Rune" into a "Tool", and used the "Tool" to control and control all kinds of weapons.
The vast majority of people, after refining the "Divine Rune" into a "Tool", would choose a Spirit Treasure of the same shape. Only when the two were the same, could they display the greatest power.
Of course, because the shape was different, it was not that they could not control other weapons, but it was more or less at a lower level.
There were also some cultivators that constantly condensed "Divine Rune", repeatedly refining their "Tool", and did not need to control other physical weapons. The "Tool" that was forged was their Spirit Treasure.
According to the records of the Sea of Reincarnation of the [Dao Scripture], the Bitter Sea, Life Spring, Divine Bridge, and Paramita stages, each stage could refine a "Tool".
Ye Fan was already a cultivator of the Bitter Sea stage, and now he was going to refine his first "Tool". He was seriously considering what to choose, because this was a matter of great importance. Once the "Tool" was formed, it would be very difficult to change it.
Moreover, the first "Tool" was the foundation of his future, and was much more useful than the "Tools" that were forged in other stages.
Since he had chosen the path of cultivation, everything had to be considered in the long term. Ye Fan first eliminated flying swords, shields, spears, and other ordinary weapons.
Even though he knew that the hope was slim, but he still hoped that his "Tool" would be able to interweave the "path of the Dao" in the future. Therefore, he decided to choose from those complicated and mysterious "Tools".
"Just what should I choose …" Ye Fan seriously and carefully considered for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up.
Finally, he made a clear choice. He decided to refine his "Divine Rune" into a "Cauldron".
This was not an impulsive decision, but a decision that Ye Fan had made after careful consideration. It was not only because he liked the "Cauldron", but more importantly, the "Cauldron" was the most mysterious object in ancient China.
The Cauldron, ran through the entire ancient history of China. The collapse of mountains and rivers, the change of dynasties, the rise of feudal vassals, the unification of the Nine Regions … were all inseparable from the Cauldron. It was the divine tool of the Nine Regions, the sacred object of the country.
Seeking the throne of the Central Plains, the golden age of the Spring and Autumn Period … there were countless idioms that were related to the Cauldron. The Cauldron had a long history in ancient China, and was the most mysterious "Tool of the State". It could even be said that the "Cauldron" could represent ancient China.
It was difficult to say just how long the history of China was. There were some things that were not recorded and passed down. Ye Fan thought of many things, so he chose the "Cauldron".
In the pre-Qin period, there were many Saint Emperors and ancient Emperors who had worshipped on Mount Tai, including Fuxi, Shennong, the Yellow Emperor and other 72 ancient Emperors. Now, in Ye Fan's view, there were too many mysteries. Deducing from his own experience, it was not difficult to find that ancient China was shrouded in endless fog.
There seemed to be an extremely mysterious period in ancient China. That period of time was buried in the vast river of history. From various clues, some things could be detected. The ancient people seemed to have mastered extraordinary power.
The "Cauldron", as the most mysterious object passed down from that period, was naturally valued by Ye Fan. It was the most important sacred object that ran through the history of ancient China, so he naturally chose it as the "Important Tool".
As for this choice, Ye Fan was full of confidence. This was the crystallization of ancient China, and as his first "Tool" and "foundation", it was the most suitable.
There were many forms of the Cauldron. The most famous ones were the three-legged Cauldron and the four-legged Square Cauldron. Which one should he choose? Ye Fan thought carefully again.
"The three-legged Cauldron appeared even earlier …" He gradually made a decision in his heart.
In addition to the earlier reason, there were other reasons. From his current identity as a cultivator, he felt that the three-legged Cauldron contained some inexplicable principles.
The three-legged Cauldron was more stable than the four-legged Cauldron. It was the most stable form, and the Dao and meaning of the round Cauldron were broader and deeper.
The three-legged Cauldron was stable, firm, stable, and solid!
The circle represented the heaven and earth, the universe, and the stars. According to legend, when Pangu split the heaven and earth, he broke a circle and shattered a spherical space. This was the initial evolution process of chaos, and the circle represented the origin.
"That's right, I'll choose the three-legged Cauldron!" After serious consideration, Ye Fan made this important decision.
It was not easy to forge the primitive "Divine Glyph" into a tool. This was a long and arduous process that could not be accomplished in one go.
First, he had to determine the form of the "Tool" and firmly imprint it in his mind. In the future, he would use it as a reference to forge the tool. There could not be a single flaw.
With the Bodhi Bead in hand, Ye Fan immersed himself in an ethereal state. He engraved a diagram in his mind and simulated the nineteen "Divine Glyph" with his divine sense. Then, he began to forge them in his mind.
After relentless effort, the nineteen "Divine Glyph" finally melted and condensed into a small golden cauldron the size of a bean. It shone brilliantly and was very perfect.
However, Ye Fan was not satisfied. He felt that something was missing. The form was perfect, but it lacked the Dao.
"Yes, it's still missing the handles."
Ye Fan began to forge again. The small golden cauldron slowly formed a pair of handles.
The moment this small golden cauldron was formed in his mind, Ye Fan immediately felt a natural Dao. He was very satisfied and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "A cauldron, two handles, three legs. Yes, the Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. All things bear the Yin and embrace the Yang, and the Qi is harmonious … "
The more Ye Fan looked at it, the more satisfied he was. The small golden cauldron became more and more mysterious in his eyes. In the end, it occupied his mind, becoming simple and natural.
"Yes, that's it!"
After Ye Fan finished forging, the three-legged cauldron was forever engraved in his mind. From now on, he would begin to forge such a real "cauldron" in the sea of bitterness.
"The most mysterious tool that ran through the entire history of China …" Ye Fan's heart was filled with anticipation.
