Chapter 16: Flint
Early the next morning, Han Yi took advantage of his status as the second son of Marquis Xuanbo and took a walk around the storeroom of the Marquis's mansion.

However, there was no gain at all!
In the territory of Jiuzhou, not only is the spiritual energy thin, but even various natural treasures, or rare and precious irons, are extremely scarce. The treasures in the storehouse of Xuanbohou's mansion may be rare treasures for mortals, but for practitioners, they are no different from a pile of rotten wood and cannot withstand the erosion of the practitioners' magic power.

"It seems that we still have to think of other ways!"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and left the warehouse of Xuanbo Hou Mansion without hesitation.

Then, he walked towards the ancestral temple of Xuan State!
He thought over and over again, and decided that within the territory of Xuan State, perhaps only the things recorded in the "Records of Sages" could be of some use to him at the moment!

The third section of the first chapter of "Records of Sages" records the process of the birth of the first meritorious spiritual treasure of human beings. It is the flame that started civilization and the spiritual source for human beings to move from insignificance to greatness.

----

The eternal flame burning on the flint tree loses its everlasting characteristic after leaving the flint tree.

Suiren tried again and again, but was never able to bring fire back to the human tribe.

"Could it be..."

"Is it really impossible for me to do this?"

After trying again and again, Suiren was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

He even had some doubts in his heart, whether it was really like Bai Yan said, that this thing... was really impossible to accomplish!
"No! It must be my own fault!" Suiren resisted the fatigue of both body and mind, supported himself with his hands and sat cross-legged. He shook his head and said, "The Holy Mother will not lie to us!"

He looked at the flint tree burning with blazing flames and felt that hope was within reach, yet it seemed as if there was a chasm between them that would never be crossed.

“Fire!”

"Tell me the answer!"

"What should I do to...successfully bring you back to the human tribe?"

Perhaps, it was God who responded to his prayers, or perhaps it was the goddess Nuwa who was moved by his spirit. A flint bird flew in front of him and pecked at the flint tree a few times with its beak. After a moment, a bright and warm flame rose again on the flint tree that was covered in countless flames!

"When a bird pecks at a piece of flint, a bright fire appears!"

Seeing this scene, Suiren was inspired and immediately broke off a branch of the Sui-ming tree, ready to imitate the Sui-ming bird and drill wood to make fire.

Hard work, God will not let you down!
He carefully observed the movements of the flint bird, and after several failures, he finally used the branches of the flint tree to drill a tiny flame like a star on a piece of dead wood!
This flame was extremely weak and could not compare to the blazing flames on the flint tree.

But, He is warm!
As the first flame born without the aid of any magical power, He... represents hope and inheritance, and symbolizes the beginning of civilization.

A single spark can start a prairie fire!
Although He is weak, He has infinite possibilities!
"I succeeded!"

Suiren shouted with joy, he finally found a way to bring fire back to the tribe.

The Heavenly Dao was moved and suddenly sent down an incomparably dazzling golden light of merit.

Merit, divided into two!
Half of it fell into Suiren's brow and turned into a golden wheel, hanging behind his head.

The other half of the merit was integrated into the piece of flint branch he used to drill wood to make fire in an instant, turning it into a magical treasure with acquired merit - the flint drill!

The Suiren made fire in an extraordinary way, and the world has been renewed since then.

From that moment on, a new chapter in the history of mankind began.

And Suiren also proved to Bai Yan that his almost stubborn persistence was not in vain!
Although humans are born weak, they will not remain weak forever. They will use their wisdom and persistence to compose brilliant poems and create their own legends and myths!
With the Suiren drill that had turned into a magical treasure of merit, Fuxi crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and returned to the human tribe.

He taught other humans how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together!

He became the first leader of the human race!
Without fire, there would be no civilization!
After learning how to make fire by drilling wood, humans gradually figured out various uses for fire, such as keeping warm, driving away wild beasts, cooking food, firing utensils, and forging weapons... And after Suiren became the first leader of the human race, the Suiren drill became more and more powerful with the continuous nourishment of the vast luck of the human race!

Later, as the human race continued to multiply and grow, every time a new tribe was formed, they would seek a flint fire from the ancestral temple that enshrined the flint drill as the spiritual symbol of the tribe. This is the heritage of the human race!

Later, even when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ruled the human race, they still retained this custom!

When Dayu divided the nine states, he said to the princes: "We are all born from the human race. No matter where we go in the future, or who will rule the human race in the future, remember, as long as there is this wisp of flint fire, we are all one family, with the same bloodline and support!"

At that time, all the princes who were granted titles unanimously asked for a wisp of flint fire from the ancestral temple of the human race as an offering, and regarded it as the inheritance and certification of the human bloodline.

In other words, only the tribes and vassal states that worship flint fire are the legitimate descendants of the human race!
As for the rest...

In the eyes of many princes, they are all barbarians and heretics!

Xuan State was also one of the vassal states granted by Dayu, so naturally it also worshipped a wisp of flint fire!
And this is also his purpose!
Among the three Xuanmen religions, there is a magical power called Samadhi True Fire, which most disciples practice.

However, the power displayed by different monks is very different!
Because, this magical power is divided into three levels. In addition to looking at the user's level of cultivation, the magical power displayed can be divided into lower samadhi, middle samadhi, and upper samadhi!
In his previous life, he only knew the most basic kind, which is the so-called lower samadhi!
This kind of Samadhi True Fire uses one's own essence, energy and spirit as Samadhi. It cultivates the essence and releases the True Fire. Its power is average and it can only burn small demons that are insignificant.

If someone with high cultivation level comes and just stands there and lets him burn you, I'm afraid he won't be able to burn even a hair.

Above this, there is the Central Samadhi formed by the integration of the three innate spiritual fires: fire in the air, fire in the stone, and fire in the wood. It can slay evil, destroy evil spirits, and subdue demons, which is considered a top-level magical power.

However, generally only a few authentic Xuanmen people have this opportunity!
As for Han Yi, he doesn't have such luck!

The most superior Samadhi fire is refined by integrating the monarch fire, minister fire, and people fire, and absorbing the energy of humanity. It has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. Under the whole sky, only the saint of the Human Religion and his disciple Xuan Du can master it!
The two of them, one is the leader of the Human Religion, and the other is a direct disciple of the Human Religion, only have such an opportunity!
For others, wanting to imitate this method is simply wishful thinking!
The lowest level of Samadhi True Fire can be easily cultivated by simply entering the realm of Refining Qi and Transforming the Spirit, giving birth to the power of the primordial spirit and being able to control the essence, energy and spirit!
With the practice experience from the previous life, it was not difficult for Han Yi to display this level of Samadhi True Fire.

However, Han Yi was naturally unwilling to give up and practiced the inferior method!
Live a new life!
You should find a different way to success!

To reach the middle Samadhi, one needs to refine the three kinds of innate spiritual fire: fire in the air, fire in the stone, and fire in the wood. Not to mention that he doesn't have them now, even if he did, with his current level of cultivation, he wouldn't dare to refine them easily.

Although these three kinds of innate spiritual fire are not as famous as the Sun's True Fire, the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and the Nanming Li Fire, since they are innate spiritual fires, how can they be underestimated?

Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, has in his hand a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure called the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, which is related to these three innate spiritual fires.

It is said that this treasure was made by Yuanshi Tianzun using the feathers of seven birds, namely, phoenix wings, blue luan wings, great peng wings, peacock wings, white crane wings, swan wings and owl wings, and the five fires of air fire, stone fire, wood fire, samadhi fire and human fire. It has traces of divine charm emanating from it, and its power is even not inferior to some innate spiritual treasures!
During the Conferred Gods Battle, this treasure also shined. Qingxu Daode Zhenjun first used this fan to break the Red Water Formation, one of the Ten Absolute Formations, and killed the formation master Wang Biantianjun. He then lent it to Nanji Xianweng to help him break the Red Sand Formation, one of the Ten Absolute Formations, and fan away the red sand in the formation.

Later, it was passed on to Yang Ren to protect and help Zhou.

Holding the treasure, Yang Ren came down the mountain and first rescued five generals including Huang Feihu. Later, he used it to break the plague formation and killed the leader of the formation, the plague god Lü Yue, as well as Jiejiao disciples including Li Ping, Chen Geng, Fang Yizhen, Yu Xian and Yu Zhao.

In addition, he also scared away Gao Ming and Yuan Hong, the leader of the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

It can be seen from this!

The extraordinary features of these three innate spiritual fires!

In his previous life, Han Yi was good friends with Luo Xuan, the Flame Immortal, and knew that the human fire used in refining the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan was actually the flint fire that was regarded as a spiritual symbol by the human race!

The fact that it is compatible with several other spiritual fires and contains some of the true meaning of humanity is enough to show its extraordinary nature.

When Han Yi found no way to attain samadhi in his practice and could not find the three spiritual fires needed for the middle samadhi, he set his sights on the flint fire enshrined in the ancestral temple of Xuan State.

Integrating it into the Samadhi True Fire will definitely increase its power a little!

"I hope you won't disappoint me!"

After a while, Han Yi arrived at the ancestral temple of Xuan State and saw the flint enshrined there.
