Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 164: Achievement of Fake Pills: The Killer Star Descends

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to use the Snake Bone Spear."

While hurrying on his way, Xiao Chen felt a little regretful.

The Western Traveler's reinforcements came too quickly, so the Southern Traveler was completely strangled by the Small Three Talents Sword Formation, and all his defensive magic weapons were shattered into pieces.

Fortunately, he successfully obtained a mirror-like golden shield from the Western Traveler.

Follow the formation diagram to find the last formation plate and get another hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Chen then found a nearby cave, took out the two storage bags and began to refine them.

"Peng!"

At the moment the restriction was broken, a cloud of orange mist suddenly spurted out from the storage bag.

This mist was somewhat unusual. As soon as it appeared, it quickly dissolved into the nearby magic power.

"Hey, that's interesting. He actually has a backup plan."

Xiao Chen checked himself, but didn't feel anything unusual.

This might be some kind of poison, but unfortunately it is of no use to him.

The carefully prepared sneak attack by the Western traveler seemed like a little prank to him.

After sweeping with his spiritual sense, he found that the two storage bags contained a total of 58,679 spirit stones.

There are twelve boxes of different sizes and models, and most of the spirit stones are in bulk.

It seems that the source is quite complicated, and they must have been stolen from different righteous monks.

Unlike other monks, these two only brought three secret books in total.

They are "Nine Secrets of Huangquan: Winter Toad", "The Great Method of Divine Fire Division" and "Lingyuan Kaiyang Talisman Scripture".

"The Nine Secrets of Huangquan again, isn't there really a series?"

Xiao Chen curiously picked up the first secret book and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, the writing style and arrangement format were exactly the same as the previous "Binding Immortal Art" and "Lingshui Shenjiang".

Moreover, these three secret techniques have one common feature, which is that they do not require essence, blood, or lifespan as a price.

Instead, there must be corresponding spiritual objects and complicated methods of practice.

"There are still advancements?"

When Xiao Chen read the latter part, he found that this book of Winter Toad also mentioned some methods of advanced cultivation.

Unfortunately, the book in his hand only mentioned a few words, and it was obviously a fragment that only contained the content of the Foundation Establishment Period, and was not a complete inheritance.

This kind of self-proclaimed behavior reminded him of several previous versions of "Blood Refining Divine Art".

Similarly, only the Eastern Traveler has the true complete version, and the version circulating outside is missing many things.

Moreover, the most powerful of them, the Soul-Severing Needle, is written separately in a booklet.

Xiao Chen even suspected that what Dongfang Xingzhe had obtained was actually a fragment, and the complete copy was only in the hands of Jindan Zhenren of the Divine Fire Sect.

The second secret book is the magic fire that the Southern Traveler used at the beginning.

The fire can be planted in the bodies of other monks in advance and then detonated when needed.

The third secret book looks like a technique from Lingyuan Sect.

Xiao Chen took a quick look and found that it was indeed the inheritance of the Lingyuan Sect's talisman path. It should be the spoils of war that were snatched away by Western travelers.

In addition to the martial arts, a special magic weapon was unexpectedly found in the storage bag - the Ghost Head Seven-Forged Sword.

The knife is three feet seven inches long, and there are creepy-looking white patterns engraved on the handle.

But where the tip of the knife should have been, there turned into a hideous ghost head.

Xiao Chen picked up the big knife and weighed it. It weighed about four hundred and forty pounds.

Generally speaking, most monks will only put one or two spare magic tools in their storage bags.

If there really were something good, I would have used it to fight the enemy long ago.

But this time the situation was special. The Southern Traveler was trapped in the sword formation and had no chance to attack at all.

Therefore, this ghost-headed seven-forged sword, which was obviously used for attack, did not have time to play a role.

One more bonus for the collectible.

In addition, many precious spiritual objects were obtained this time.

There are a thousand-year-old sword bamboo, two bottles of five-color mysterious water, three bottles of Rongling Pill, and a box of very precious gilded thousand-thread honey.

This thousand-year-old sword bamboo is almost exactly the same as the one Xiao Chen used when he was building his foundation.

They look like they came from the same bamboo forest.

This thing can not only be used to build the foundation, but it is also very useful for foundation-building cultivators who practice swordsmanship.

The simplest way to use it is to directly use magic power to squeeze out the sword intent contained in it for comprehension, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing swordsmanship.

As for the Five-Colored Mysterious Water, Xiao Chen has used it many times. It is indeed very useful and worth its price.

Rongling Pill is a relatively rare second-level nourishing pill that has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow.

After taking it, it can slightly improve the cultivator's meridians, enhance the smoothness of the flow of magic power, and indirectly increase the speed of cultivation.

Although this increase will not be very obvious in the short term, it will accumulate over time and eventually become a big thing.

The younger the cultivator, the greater the benefits he will enjoy from taking the Rongling Pill.

The characteristics of this elixir can be summed up in two words - luxury.

The spiritual herbs needed for the Rongling Pill are expensive, so the price of the pill remains high.

It is usually given as a gift by elders to younger generations who are very favored by them, and few monks will buy it and use it themselves.

Moreover, this thing can occasionally be seen in Hezhou, but it is almost non-existent in Lizhou.

The above three spiritual objects are all good things, but in terms of value, they are not as valuable as the last box of Gilded Thousand Silk Honey.

The reason why Xiao Chen knew this thing was because he had read many classics before coming to Hezhou.

There is a book called "Memories of Traveling Through Hezhou and Finding Rare Treasures" which specifically records various rare spiritual objects. It mentions this precious spiritual material from the Eastern Region.

It is said that there is a gilded secret realm in the Eastern Region, where tens of thousands of gilded flowers grow.

At the same time, there are thousands of yellow-tailed silver ring bees that feed on the pollen of gilt flowers and brew gilt nectar.

Every fifty years, when the secret realm opens, foundation-building monks will enter to find beehives and collect honey.

Since the secret realm is only accessible to cultivators who have established their foundation, and the yellow-tailed silver-ringed bee is also a foundation-building monster, this process is extremely dangerous.

But even so, the successful ones only bring out raw materials such as gilded nectar.

It also needs to be added with spiritual materials such as borneol and dragon incense, and it takes at least ten years to brew it artificially.

Only when the jade hairpin collects honey over three feet long and still has thousands of threads entangled together can it become qualified gilded thousand-thread honey.

Although it is a second-level spiritual object, its rarity and value are no less than those of third-level spiritual objects.

It can not only be used in a variety of third-level elixirs, but also serve as an important auxiliary medicine.

Moreover, it is a natural detoxifier that can neutralize 99% of poisons that do not exceed the third level.

If taken directly, it can greatly nourish the monk's lungs and greatly enhance his compatibility with golden spiritual power.

The effect is no worse than that of Zijin Lingsha, and it is effective for a long time.

If you are a physical cultivator, you can also use it as a healing medicine to protect yourself from injury while refining your body.
.
Gilded Thousand Silk Honey is a very precious spiritual object even in the Eastern Region.

Xiao Chen carefully took it in his hand and weighed it. Such a box was just a standard portion, weighing about three taels, and was worth at least 60,000 spirit stones.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder whose heirloom this is?"

The reason why it is called a family heirloom is that the box is quite old.

Judging from the jade inlaid on the edge of the box, this box of gilded Thousand-Thread Honey has been stored for at least eight hundred years, if not a thousand years.

But like wine, extremely pure honey will actually become more effective the longer it is stored.

Therefore, this is actually an advantage, which means that the value of this box of honey will only be higher.

"This box should also come from the Eastern Region."

Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the intricate and delicate patterns on the side of the box, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Judging from what I have seen and heard during this period, the Eastern Region should be far more prosperous than Hezhou, otherwise they would not be willing to spend time on these details.

After carefully collecting all the spiritual objects, there were only two things left.

They are a bounty order and a storage box respectively.

Xiao Chen looked at the portrait on the wanted poster and felt that it looked familiar. "Why does it look so much like me?"

After looking at the description below, I found that this was indeed a bounty for him.

The back of the card also has different numbers with markings printed on them and a blood-red word "Kill" underneath.

He had seen this thing once in Jingchuan County, when he was offered a bounty of 5,000 spirit stones, which was the cheapest one.

However, this time the bounty has increased a lot, becoming 60,000 spirit stones.

But Xiao Chen was still a little speechless: "The price is so low, who are you looking down on?"

At that time, he was in Lizhou and did not recognize the meaning of the mark.

But this time he recognized it at a glance. The mark on it clearly represented Huidong Chamber of Commerce.

This is interesting. Huidong Chamber of Commerce is actually secretly posting a bounty on his head.

"Very good. I'll make a note of this."

No matter what the reason is, it doesn’t matter anymore. In short, since the other party has done this, he must pay the price.

At the latest, when he reaches the stage of forming a pill, he will definitely take up his sword and destroy the Huidong Chamber of Commerce.

Put away the bounty order and open the storage box.

There was only a small round ball inside, emitting the pressure of a monster.

hiss~!

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, closed the storage box, and opened it again.

That’s right, this looks like the inner elixir of a demon beast.

He reached out and picked up the small ball, feeling the familiar weight, wrapped it tightly with his spiritual sense, and injected a trace of magic power into it.

Immediately, the shadow of a six-foot-long fish appeared. It was oval in shape, with yellow fins and six horizontal stripes on its sides.

There is no doubt that this is indeed a genuine demon beast's inner elixir.

It just looks like some kind of fish monster, not like the species from Hezhou, and it is very likely a product from the Eastern Region.

"Is this so sudden?"

Xiao Chen blinked his eyes. This was one of the two main goals of his visit to Hezhou.

He originally planned to hunt down the demon cultivators and use points to exchange for one of the six inner core pills given by Lingyuan Sect.

I didn’t expect that I could achieve my goal ahead of time here.

This is a real surprise.

"Am I going to make a fake pill now?"

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Then he carefully recalled how he had used the Dan formation to enlighten the wind and thunder sword.

Liu Feng has been talking about this route since the day he came to Hezhou.

Xiao Chen secretly took note of this and had already inquired about this matter before.

There is also a chance that the fake pill will be enlightened and the flying sword will be refined into the natal sword embryo.

Once successful, you can continue to practice and upgrade the Wind and Thunder Sword into a spiritual weapon.

According to Chang Shunping, this had happened more than once before. An ancestor of the Chang family had once formed a fake elixir and refined his own natal flying sword.

At that time, the area from Qingyang County in the north to Qiuping County in the west and Dongyuan County in the west all belonged to the Chang family's sphere of influence.

However, there is a risk in doing so, as it will double the difficulty of forming a pill.

Once failed, the inner elixir that the cultivator has obtained with great difficulty will be wasted.

Therefore, over the years, as the number of demon beast inner cores has become fewer and fewer, fewer cultivators dare to take such risks.

Xiao Chen looked at the inner elixir in his hand and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"

Others are afraid of wasting it, but the problem is that he picked up this inner elixir almost for free.

And even if it fails, you can still exchange the inner elixir from Lingyuan Sect as planned.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated, stretched out his five fingers and ignited a ball of spiritual fire in the palm of his hand.

Then he decisively used his magic power to pull the inner elixir and began to roast it with spiritual fire.

In just a quarter of an hour, the inner elixir turned into a ball of spiritual liquid sparkling with golden light.

Xiao Chen sucked lightly and instantly absorbed all the spiritual liquid into his stomach.

Above the Dantian, the inner elixir had already expanded to its limit.

It was suddenly replenished with spiritual fluid and immediately began to rotate irregularly.

Especially as a large amount of spiritual fluid was absorbed one after another, but it could not be expanded as it should have, it began to tremble violently.

At a certain moment, it seemed as if it had reached its limit.

The entire inner elixir suddenly expanded by twice its size, and its volume instantly expanded eight times.

Then, a feeling of extreme emptiness came over him, and he began to spontaneously absorb magical power from the surroundings.

Xiao Chen suddenly had an epiphany. If he couldn't supply enough mana in time, the ritual would fail.

At that time, not only will the fake elixir not be achieved, but the original inner elixir will even be damaged.

As the volume increased eightfold, the inner elixir's demand for mana also increased eightfold.

Xiao Chen picked up the Five-Colored Mysterious Water he had just obtained without hesitation and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.

With the continuous replenishment of mana, the inner elixir suddenly became fuller.

However, this is just the beginning.

After absorbing a large amount of magic power, the inner elixir actually began to continue to expand.

Soon, the five-colored mysterious water that had just been drunk was consumed.

Xiao Chen immediately picked up another bottle and drank it.

At the same time, he took out the wood-type spiritual object he had exchanged for at the Xianghefang Market Exchange from his storage bag in advance.

Apart from other things, he now has quite a few wood-type spiritual objects on him, and they are all of top quality.

After drinking another bottle of spiritual liquid, the inner elixir expanded to the same size as his dantian.

Then a large amount of magic power flows from the inner elixir into the dantian, and after circling around, it flows back again.

Xiao Chen looked inward with his spiritual sense and saw that the inner elixir seemed to have evolved into his second dantian.

This cycle lasted for about an hour before it ended.

At this time, the original inner elixir has become almost exactly the same as the dantian.

This means that everything has gone well so far and the next step is to start condensing the fake pill.

Xiao Chen took another deep breath, took out his wind and thunder swords, and placed them horizontally in front of his knees ready.

Then he grabbed a spiritual fruit and ate it in advance to ensure that he had enough magic power.

Then he slapped his storage bag and scattered a total of four thousand spirit stones in all directions, surrounding himself.

In fact, you don’t necessarily need to use spirit stones, but at this time, you must not save on things that should not be saved.
.
After a while, the inner elixir began to shrink slowly again, and its surface began to be faintly coated with a layer of light gold.

The word "Jiejiadan" is also used to describe the fake elixir.

Although it is not as real as the real thing, it can also be regarded as a simulation.

Xiao Chen quickly focused on the process. Such a precious opportunity only comes once and must not be missed.

It turns out he was a little too cautious.

Making fake pills is not real after all.

So after drinking three bottles of spiritual liquid, the entire pill-forming process was completed safely without using the prepared spiritual stones.

Above the Dantian, the original inner elixir turned into a fake elixir that glowed with a faint golden light and looked a little smaller.

It's now!

Xiao Chen injected magic power into the flying sword to maintain resonance.

At the same time, he concentrated his spiritual consciousness on the fake pill and separated it from the dantian.

"rise!"

The fake pill, which had just taken shape, trembled immediately, causing his heart to tighten.

This action is actually very dangerous. We should wait until the fake pill is completely stable before separating it.

But by that time, it would be impossible to integrate into the flying sword.

Fortunately, he finally managed to separate the fake pill from his dantian without any danger.

Once you have taken the most thrilling and difficult step, everything else will fall into place.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth slightly, and used his spiritual sense to command the fake pill to fly out of his mouth, and then it hovered above the Wind and Thunder Swords.

Then mobilize the magic power from the fake pill to flow into the flying sword, and then from the flying sword back to the fake pill, until both sides are in the same frequency.

On the fake pill, the marks of wind, thunder and sword clearly emerged.

At the same time, under the influence of the fake pill, the sword successfully activated its originally dormant spiritual power.

In fact, Xiao Chen's success rate should not be high if he does this without the help of any secret method.

But as Liu Feng said, the Wind and Thunder Swords originally came from the Donghua Yin-Yang Tree, and it itself has extraordinary inspiration. What it lacks is just an opportunity.

Therefore, as long as you get the most critical trigger, you can successfully complete the transformation.

Of course, this alone is not enough to turn it into a spiritual weapon, it just gives it the possibility of continuing to grow.

Subsequently, you will need to refine wood-type spiritual objects before they can truly be upgraded to spiritual weapons.

But even so, the power of wind and thunder against the sword can at least double compared to before the spirit was awakened.

After dealing with Qi Ling, Xiao Chen quickly took back the fake pill.

Not to mention fake elixirs, even most of the real golden elixirs are not very solid.

It is best not to leave the body easily, otherwise if something goes wrong, you will regret it.

Half an hour later.

"Hoo~!"

Xiao Chen exhaled a breath of foul air and completely stabilized his fake pill.

Then, sensing the abundant magic power in his body, he couldn't help but smile.

After the cultivator formed the fake elixir, his mana capacity soared from the original eighty-four to as many as three hundred and thirty-three.

It has almost quadrupled.

Although his cultivation level has not improved, with this total amount of magic power, he can easily suppress ordinary cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building by driving several times more magic weapons.

What’s even more amazing is that fake pills can help cultivators break through the upper limit of foundation building.

After obtaining the fake elixir, the cultivator can comprehend the heaven and earth like the Golden Elixir True Man, and comprehend the way of the five elements, the way of qi and blood, the way of swordsmanship... and so on.

Understand how to mobilize the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth when casting spells.

In this case, although the spell is still the same spell, the actual power is very different.

In the distant past, fake elixir was even once considered a separate realm between foundation building and golden elixir.

Relevant descriptions can still be found in some surviving ancient books.

For Xiao Chen, the happiest thing now is undoubtedly that he no longer needs to worry about the large number of top-grade magic weapons.

Although it sounds a bit strange to say this, he did once think about selling the extra magic weapons because he had too many top-grade magic weapons on him.

For example, the golden bamboo hairpin and the bone cane.

It’s just that I haven’t found a suitable opportunity, so I haven’t taken action until now.

But now that I have the fake pill, it’s not a big deal, I can keep it for my own use.

Including this time when facing the Southern Walker and the Western Walker, the total amount of mana is a bit tight.

There are obviously top-grade magic weapons in the storage bag, but he can only rely on magic to fight the enemy.

If there is one more demon cultivator, although I can win the fight, I won’t have enough mana to keep them all when the other party escapes, and at least one of them will run away.

But now it’s different. Even if there are two more, he is confident that he can catch them all.

"Hey, why isn't it morning yet?"

Xiao Chen walked out of the cave, looked up at the sky and found that it was still night.

When he arrived at the cave, it was already around 3:30 am at night. Logically, it should take quite a while to form the fake pill.

As a result, he carefully distinguished the stars and found that it was now the 1st hour of the night.

It turned out that while he was forming the fake elixir, a day and a night had passed outside.

Including the time he spent refining medicine at the Chang family, Xiao Chen had not slept for nearly thirty hours.

But perhaps because of the fake pill, he didn't feel sleepy at all, but instead felt full of energy.

I opened the map in the moonlight and identified the direction.

Xiao Chen rushed to Dongyuan County without stopping and began his journey to score points.

He did not forget that according to the news that had been circulated before, there were nearly forty foundation-building demon cultivators invading this time.

There are only four missing now, and there are still more than thirty, which are all ready-made points.

at the same time.

Hezhou Tianji Pavilion.

Master Yin Xi looked up at the sky with a frown on his face.

As a descendant of a lineage of stargazing, he has become accustomed to observing the stars every night.

But the starry sky tonight felt particularly unfamiliar to him.

"The sky is filled with murderous intent, and the stars are shifting."

Master Yin Xi suddenly spoke, startling the disciples around him.

However, when they looked up at the stars and down at their companions, no one knew what this meant.

In their eyes, tonight was no different from the thousands of nights that had passed.

So I totally don't understand why my master suddenly said such a thing.

Master Yin Xi was surprised and happy at the same time: "Strange, how could there be such a sudden change?"

He looked around and stroked his beard excitedly: "Did you see that? The killing star fell in the east, driving away the clouds and dispersing the fog."

"It's just in time for the demonic cultivator invasion this time. This is great news."

The disciples around looked at each other in bewilderment. The news they had received was that the demonic cultivators had basically occupied the area east of Dongyuan County, and the situation in Lingyuan Sect was in a state of deterioration.

What good news can there be in this situation?

Could it be possible that a killer star would descend upon the world and kill all the invading demon cultivators?
