At this moment, Xin Yi, who served as both a negative role model and the most authoritative grandmaster at the same time, was lecturing the various cultivators on his insights and experience:
"The purpose of ritual refining is to make implements an extension of one's own form and spirit. This is technical work that must follow a complete set of rules governed by the laws of heaven and earth, and it also requires sufficient adaptability to change. Theoretically, all things are transformed and operated by the laws, and whether they possess physical form or not, they can all be ritually refined. Of course, this is very difficult."
"Even the ritual refining of physical implements is extremely difficult at first, but senior experts of old like Ha Shi Yi summarized basic molds such as 'Tiangang Disha', which have a universal effect within a certain scope. Once that is done, the remaining work becomes much easier. Using the 'mind and spirit' as fire and having the mold, whatever shape you wish to forge it into depends only on mastering the heat..."
At this, everyone finally understood:
Xin Yi meant that just as molds could be universal, there were also non-universal ones. The traditional ritual refining method known as "one implement, one method" was precisely like this.
Yet once one mastered the essence of ritual refining, they could manipulate the "mold" at will, and all things in existence could be subjected to ritual refining.
Daoist Qianbao, since he held the title "Qianbao", possessed countless magical treasures. Most of them required ritual refining before they could be used, yet this did not delay his cultivation progress in the slightest. Such a figure was, nine times out of ten, of the sort who could deeply master and control the very essence of ritual refining.
