Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 188 The combination of Yin and Yang, flawless golden elixir!

Forming a golden elixir has never been an easy task.

Especially for a cultivator like Xiao Chen who only has low-grade spiritual roots, it is like a natural chasm.

Therefore, even though he had successfully defeated You Yan Sha and formed the Yin Fire Seal, he did not relax at all.

"Eighty percent probability is not safe enough, let's find a safe place to absorb the spiritual object first."

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Qingxiao Gorge is now almost thin, which is very unfavorable for cultivators to break through.

In fact, not only when breaking through the realm, but also when a cultivator is practicing daily, the concentration of spiritual energy around him is an extremely important condition.

The lack of spiritual energy supply will greatly affect the efficiency of practice.

The reason why Xiao Chen usually doesn't care about this is because his way of practicing is completely different from others.

Ever since he earned his first spiritual stone, he has never stopped acquiring various spiritual pills and even a wide variety of top-level spiritual objects.

Before meditating, take a Changqing Pill and drink a sip of Liuhe Divine Water. The spiritual energy in your body will instantly flow endlessly, and you won't need to absorb it from the outside world anymore.

But breaking through to a higher realm is different.

Firstly, it emphasizes the interaction between heaven and man. In simple terms, it is about obtaining spiritual energy from the outside world.

Secondly, the amount of spiritual energy required is extremely huge, and it can hardly be supplied by spiritual objects alone.

In short, it is best to find a place with abundant natural spiritual energy, such as a third-level spiritual vein.

As a second best option, we can artificially create an environment rich in spiritual energy, such as building a spirit gathering array.

This is not a problem for Xiao Chen, it just requires spending a few more spirit stones.

Therefore, there is a lot more room for choice, and you can focus on safety.

Maintaining safety is the second hurdle when breaking through a realm, especially a high realm.

The so-called observing the weather, examining the terrain, and understanding the harmony of people.

It took Xiao Chen three full days and three nights to build his foundation, so it would definitely take even longer to form his elixir.

But now, not only is he alone, but the situation in Hezhou is also chaotic.

If you encounter someone with bad intentions during the breakthrough, it may affect the process of forming the elixir and lead to failure.

"We have to find a place where no one will find us."

Xiao Chen came out of Qingxiao Gorge, thought about it and decided to go further south first.

"Why not just find a deserted area? At worst, I can just spend a few more spirit stones to avoid man-made disasters."

Guided by this idea, he deviated slightly to the west and flew out of Hezhou.

They arrived at the border between Lizhou and Hezhou, and continued walking south for a full 50,000 miles.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Chen also made a special patrol.

I found that there was no monks here, not even a single mortal.

"Very good. If this is followed by another man-made disaster, then we'll have to question God."

He nodded with satisfaction, then picked a dormant volcano and jumped directly into the crater.

"Seven Star Sword Technique - Kaiyang!"

The sword flashed across, immediately cutting out a large piece of flat ground.

Then Xiao Chen took out the formation flag and set up the Yellow Wind Quicksand Formation outside the crater.

Then place a portable spirit gathering array inside and activate it to its maximum effect.

Immediately, abundant spiritual energy was released, filling the entire crater.

After initially dealing with the breakthrough site, Xiao Chen first took a nap in the formation until he woke up naturally, feeling full of energy and refreshed.

Then he sat cross-legged and began to practice the "Spirit Cultivation Technique", repeating the Great Circulation over and over again without getting tired.

Until a certain moment, when he felt that he had reached the best condition, he took out the storage box from the storage bag and solemnly took out the large golden nanmu branch.

He took a deep breath and gently surrounded the branches with a trace of magic power.

While refining this precious third-level spiritual object, he also used it to comprehend the great way of wood.

In order to achieve the best comprehension effect, Xiao Chen deliberately controlled his refining speed and kept it at the slowest level.

Anyway, he has already reached the great perfection of foundation building and does not expect to increase his magic power through refining.

After a whole day and night.

The branches of the golden nanmu tree finally lost their last bit of vitality and became dead branches on the spot.

However, Xiao Chen did not stop his comprehension. Instead, he took out the third-level Fulong ginseng that Lei Yin Zhenren had given him as a substitute and continued to comprehend the Great Way of Wood.

Fulong ginseng is also a wood-type spiritual object. Although it is not as valuable as the branches of the large golden nanmu, its spiritual root properties are compatible after all.

Such behavior is actually very extravagant, but at critical moments, he is always willing to invest in himself.

After another six hours, the Fuluo ginseng was completely drained.

Only after the thick wood spiritual power disappeared did Xiao Chen reluctantly wake up from his meditation.

"It feels like there hasn't been much change, right?"

Compared to two days ago, he gained a lot of insights.

I also took the opportunity to understand some of the things that I didn't understand before.

"The Spring and Autumn Period unfolds... withering and flourishing one after another..."

A ray of magic power appeared in Xiao Chen's hand, which first emitted a green light and then turned into a withered yellow color.

Then they began to blend with each other and change continuously.

And from being unfamiliar at the beginning, it gradually became more and more fluent.

This means that his understanding of the Great Way of Wood has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

In fact, from the overall perspective, Xiao Chen felt that his understanding of the Great Way of Wood was only a little more real than before.

If the Avenue of Wood is a towering tree, his current progress in comprehension is like that of a small sapling.

It cannot be said that the two are completely unrelated, but it can be said that we are still far away from the true enlightenment.

Fortunately, as a foundation-building cultivator, he was able to get a glimpse of the key points, which was enough to help him form the golden elixir.

"My mana seems to be a little denser?"

The third-level Fulong ginseng has the effect of purifying magic power. Xiao Chen noticed that his magic power has indeed become more refined.

It's even a bit mellow, as if it's about to solidify.

This is undoubtedly good news!

When forming the elixir, the richer the magic power, the easier it is to gather the elixir shape.

It will also help Xiao Chen save more energy to be used on other aspects.

At this time, he had been enlightened for eighteen hours in a row.

In order to avoid feeling tired, I took a nap for three hours.

Then he began to deduce the time and prepare for the date of his own pill formation.

Now it is the fourth day of May, so the most appropriate time is the same as the last time we built the foundation, which is the hour of Mao in the morning of the 11th.

There are still six and a half days in between.

Xiao Chen learned from the lesson he encountered with Black Wind Wanderer before his last breakthrough. This time he made up his mind not to go out no matter what and just hid in the crater and waited.

Of course, he didn't just wait there for such a long time.

Instead, during these six and a half days, he recalled all the contents related to Danjie in the "Secret Book of Huangquan Zhenjun's Judgment of the World".

In particular, study the secret techniques of forming elixir recorded in it, looking for commonalities and precautions.

And during this time when Xiao Chen was collecting evil spirits, comprehending the great Dao, and waiting for the right time.

The outside world has undergone tremendous changes.
.
Fight to the death to protect the ancestral heritage, or temporarily retreat and preserve the manpower, this is a big problem.

Especially for Master Yaoqin, it is time to make a decision in Wanhua Valley.

Although Yaohua Zhenren was far away at Yuanci Peak, the white-bone demon body was right before his eyes.

Zhenren Yaoqin needs to give a clear attitude as soon as possible so that the disciples under Wanhua Valley can take action.

Inside the Wanhua Hall, several elders of the sect suggested activating the sect protection formation to use it to fight against the demonic body.

Although they claimed that they were doing it for the greater good of the sect, in reality they were more reluctant to give up their own foundation.

That white bone demon body kills anyone it sees. After being tortured like this, even if they can come back in the future, it will be difficult for those mortals and independent cultivators to recover.

If these people who are usually looked down upon were gone, who would cultivate the spiritual fields? Who would mine the spiritual mines?
It would be too busy for my family members alone to handle it.

By then, all the major families in Wanhua Valley will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

As a result, the resistance faction gained an absolute upper hand.

"As a major sect in the Southern Territory that has stood for a thousand years, how could Wanhua Valley simply retreat from the demonic path without a fight? If this matter were to get out, the world would laugh at you!"

A middle-aged guest official was very emotional and passionate.

"No matter what, I want to stay here. The worst that can happen is that I die here."

Another elder, whose hair and beard were all white and whose life was nearing its end, had a calm yet determined expression.

"Disciples and others are willing to work together with the elders to fight against the demonic disaster."

Several true disciples knelt on the ground and petitioned jointly.

But their opinions were not enough to influence Master Yaoqin.

She looked at Master Mingyue who had come forward to report the news: "Is that demonic body really that powerful that even the composite third-order formation cannot match it?"

Although Wanhua Valley does not have war puppets like Lingyuan Sect, it has the most powerful sect protection formation in Hezhou.

It is the superposition of three third-level formations. When all activated, it can resist the siege of several Jindan.

However, Master Mingyue did not directly answer: "Daoist Yaoqin, to be honest, I have not fought against that demonic body, so I don't know how powerful it is."

"But Senior Brother Qianzhu asked me to tell you that the Qingxiao Sect is gone."

"I still have to go back to Yuanci Peak to warn people. We'll meet again later."

When he reached the entrance of the main hall, he turned around and reminded, "By the way, that white-bone demon body is extremely fast. If it weren't for my senior brother helping to draw attention, I wouldn't be able to get rid of it."

Although this has something to do with the fact that he broke through the Golden Core stage not long ago, it is enough to prove that the demonic body should not be underestimated.

After watching Master Mingyue leave, Master Yaoqin went to the ancestral hall alone and stayed there for half an hour.

After returning, he summoned his only direct disciple, Zhong Lixue.

"Xue'er, take all your fellow apprentice sisters to Yuanci Peak to find your master aunt."

Zhong Lixue panicked: "Master..."

"Don't worry about me, don't overthink it. Even if I can't stop the demon body, I still have the ability to protect myself."

Yaoqin Zhenren raised her hand to interrupt Zhong Lixue's words: "On the contrary, it is you staying here that will make me worry, so I let you go first."

"No matter what, we cannot leave behind a reputation of retreating without a fight and bring shame to our ancestors."

She actually had already thought about backing out, but she was not decisive enough.

They wanted to stay and offer a symbolic resistance, at least to show that Wanhua Valley did not flee in desperation.

So three days later, the day when Xiao Chen took away the evil spirit and went to the southwest, except for Yaoqin Zhenren who blew up her spiritual weapon and escaped.

All the other monks who did not choose to evacuate with Zhong Lixue.

All of them collapsed along with the complex formation of Wanhua Valley, and were stripped of their skin and bones by the hair all over the sky, becoming part of the bone altar.

Afterwards, all the low-level cultivators in the entire Wanhua Valley lost their protection.

Most of them became food for the Skeleton Demon Body, and a small number of lucky ones escaped towards Lingyuan Sect.

Of course, there are also a few casual cultivators in the late Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages who believe that Hezhou is no longer safe.

He simply took enough fasting pills and ran towards Lizhou.

Fortunately, driven by desire, the white bone demon body stopped in the Wanhua Valley and devoured bones everywhere, instead of directly running to invade Lingyuan Sect.

Even so, the speed at which the situation changed still left everyone dumbfounded.

The Divine Fire Cult fought for a year and a half, and only managed to capture about one-sixth of Hezhou. However, the White Bone Demon Body destroyed two-thirds of the area in just half a month.

A large amount of information, mixed with various rumors, began to spread wildly within Lingyuan Sect.

Except for important places such as Yuanci Peak, Lingyuan Market and Xianghe Market, the rest of the places were in chaos.

In fact, it was not only the Lingyuan Sect, but also the Shenhuo Sect that was confused.

They had finally gained the advantage and were about to dominate Hezhou, so how could such a sudden change happen?

Although there is only one word difference between the Demon Sect and the Demon Body, they are actually completely different things.

The former are at most bad people, and they don’t even think they are bad people.

The latter is not a human being at all. At least in the eyes of outsiders, Gu Weiyuan has gone astray, lost his self-will, and turned into a deformed monster.

"The demon bones have been destroyed, so why is the white-bone demon body still coming?"

Master Nie Jing was a little confused, this was completely beyond his expectations.

He had been on guard originally. Even if Xiao Chen hadn't picked up the map with the location of the Holy Son of the White Bone Sect, someone else like Ye Fei would have gotten it.

The White Bone Sect should have been eliminated long ago. What on earth is going on?

Unfortunately, with Gu Weiyuan turning into a demon, this matter became a mystery.

Except for a certain Huayang Zhenren from Tianji Pavilion who did not want to reveal his name, no one else knew what the mystery was.

Huayang Zhenren was proficient in divination, a method of using tortoise shells or animal bones to predict good or bad luck. The better the quality of the bones used, the more accurate the divination results.

"Oh~!"

Inside Yuanci Peak, Master Leiyin couldn't help but sigh, "Now that things have come to this, which fellow Taoist is willing to contact the Divine Fire Sect?"

Although he asked this, he looked at Master Yaohua.

It might be more appropriate for her to be the only one here.

"What do you mean, Fellow Daoist Leiyin?"

Yao Hua Zhenren's face darkened. "Are we still going to cooperate with those lunatics who have committed so many evil deeds?"

She couldn't accept it.

To be honest, even Master Leiyin couldn't accept it.

But thinking purely rationally, if the forces of good and evil continue to fight, and fail to join forces in time to curb the development of the white bone demon body.

In the future, a demonic body at the Nascent Soul level might appear, and by then the entire Southern Region would become a living hell.

It’s better to put aside the grudges and deal with the Skeleton Demon Body first, and talk about what happens next later.

True Man Leiyin wants to put aside the grudges for the time being.

Unfortunately, the Jindan of the Divine Fire Sect did not think so.

What does it have to do with them if the Southern Region becomes a hell on earth?
.
For Master Nie Jing, even if all other cultivators died, as long as he could obtain the inheritance of Huangquan Dao or open other secret treasures.

At that time, you can naturally escape to the Eastern Region for refuge.

Therefore, not only did they refuse to cooperate, but they intensified their offensive.

Although Tianji Pavilion has completely turned to Lingyuan Sect in order to save itself.

The two real people from Wanhua Valley also temporarily joined Lingyuan Sect, but the situation is still critical.

At this moment, we must unite all the Jindan Zhenren in Lizhou to have a chance of survival.

However, in Lizhou, the Cang Yan Sect took the opportunity to ask for a huge amount of benefits, wanting to share a lot of profits after the success.

At the same time, he forced Lihuomen and Sihaizong to make concessions, and the two sides had completely fallen out in the correspondence.

If it weren't for the news of the White Skeleton Demon Body, the fight might have already started by now.

In addition, Xiao Chen’s “death news” also caused quite a stir.

Although it did not generate enough discussion due to the changing situation, it still made many people in the know sigh.

Chang Shunping felt very uncomfortable, really uncomfortable.

The thigh that he had just held on to was gone just like that.

Hei Baizi, Zhu Hui, Tie Xinweng and others were a little emotional, but Liu Feng felt a little regretful besides his emotion.

In fact, after he saw the sword duel between wind and thunder on the spirit boat, he wanted it very much.

It's a pity that such a good flying sword eventually fell into the hands of the Demon Sect's Golden Elixir. I'm afraid it will be a waste of talent.

After Ye Fei learned about the situation at that time, he sighed and secretly became alert, taking it as a warning.

At the same time, I also felt a huge pressure.

After two months of fighting, he has reached the eighth level of foundation building, but he is still a long way from achieving the golden elixir.

Everything was happening too fast, and he had to move even faster. He had to reach the Golden Core stage before the situation completely collapsed, so he could protect his confidantes.

The news also reached the Su family and the Chen family.

After hearing this, Mr. Su was stunned for a long time and found it difficult to accept.

He placed the future of the Su family on Xiao Chen. Now it seems that he is indeed old and no longer has the keen judgment of his youth.

This gamble ended tragically with him losing one-third of his family fortune.

Manager Chen hesitated for a long time before sending the news back to Lizhou.

After Chen Tianfeng, Chen Tianyuan and Elder Chen learned about the situation, they each dropped their tasks and gathered at the Chen family to set up a table for wine.

There are also various other emotions.

Some people were delighted by this.

Some people feel lost about this.

Some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But only Lin Ping'an reacted differently from everyone else.

He quietly found a deserted place and told a fortune.

"Earth Wind Rising?"

Lin Ping'an widened his eyes in shock at that time. This was a very good omen.

This hexagram is composed of two different hexagrams stacked together, with Xun below and Kun above. Kun represents earth and compliance, while Xun represents wood and submissiveness.

It means that trees grow on the earth and gradually become taller and more valuable. It is a metaphor for rising step by step and having a bright future, hence the name "Sheng".

He stared at the hexagram in astonishment, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and made sure that he was not seeing things.

"This……"

Lin Ping'an was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses and put away the hexagram.

Afterwards, he quietly hid in his own yard to practice his skills, completely ignoring the various turmoil and rumors in the outside world.

Soon, it was May 11th.

At the hour of Yin in the middle of the night, Xiao Chen, who had slept for five hours, got up and stretched.

He then checked the spirit gathering array in the crater again and replaced all the consumed spirit stones with new ones.

The spirit gathering array has been going on non-stop these days, but it is still far from enough.

In order to keep the concentration of spiritual energy here high enough, he directly covered the surrounding rock walls with spiritual stones, and also built a high platform of spiritual stones under his feet.

He counted them again using his spiritual sense.

Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, a total of 66,666 spirit stones, not one more, not one less."

In fact, such an arrangement is obviously wasteful, but it doesn’t matter, as the number is auspicious.

As these spirit stones were activated, a huge amount of spiritual energy escaped.

Even the spirit gathering array couldn't completely restrain it, and it began to leak out.

But Xiao Chen didn't seem to feel sorry at all and continued to use the remaining spirit stones.

The overly dense spiritual energy even formed white mist, making the crater look like a fairyland.

In a short period of time, the concentration of spiritual energy here completely reached the level of a third-order spiritual vein, and even far exceeded it.

He sat cross-legged, practicing his skills while patiently waiting for the arrival of the hour of Mao.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and a fake pill in black and white flew out.

It hung in mid-air, emitting streams of magical power to the left and right.

The magic power on the left emits a green luster, while the magic power on the right flashes a withered yellow color.

Feeling that the time and place were right, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated.

He silently recited the last chapter of the "Yuling Jue" that he had already memorized, and began to break through the bottleneck of the golden elixir.

"The sun and the moon shine together, and day and night alternate."

……

In the middle of the process, he did not forget to make seals with his hands and activate the "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi" to increase his chances of forming a pill.

"boom!"

There was a crisp sound.

The colorful jade coral worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones shattered into pieces on the ground immediately.

There were actually wisps of extremely special spiritual energy floating out from it, which emitted colorful light and sparkled as if it had substance.

Xiao Chen immediately opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the five-colored spiritual energy into his stomach.

It's mysterious to say, as soon as these spiritual energies entered his stomach, it seemed to recognize that he was a wood spiritual root, and immediately turned bright green, exuding vitality.

"Snapped!"

Not long after, the exquisite water-playing beads were also smashed open roughly, and a large amount of water spiritual power dissipated.

The fake pill suspended in the air suddenly began to rotate, causing the magical powers that had been prepared long ago to flow like Tai Chi.

During this circulation process, about 30% of the water spiritual power was converted into wood spiritual power.

The rest are either consumed in the conversion or pushed aside to prevent interference.

If an ordinary Jindan Zhenren saw this scene, he would probably curse Xiao Chen as a prodigal son.

But at this moment, Xiao Chen was too lazy to think about anything extra, and all his energy was focused on breaking through.

Countless spiritual powers poured into the dantian and quickly turned into huge amounts of magic power.

The total amount of mana that was previously limited was no longer able to restrain it at this moment, and countless mana began to circulate spontaneously along the mental method.

But at the same time, a large amount of magic power impacted the tendons and veins, shaking the bone marrow.

Bloodstains began to appear all over Xiao Chen's body, and then every bone began to wail.

This is the necessary process for a cultivator to transform from mortal bones to jade bones.

It is just as the words on the white jade disc said: "Reborn, transcending the mundane, cleansing the body of impurities and making it anew."

Fortunately, he also had the ability to cultivate his body, and although he did not have the protection of spiritual medicine that could break through the rank, he was still able to withstand these attacks.

After the severe pain, new bones grew out.

Xiao Chen's expression was solemn. He formed seals with his hands, and his body began to flash alternately with green and yellow colors.

This happened 9981 times, and the soul-raising flower in the dantian withered and bloomed nine times.

Finally, a unique "fruit" grew.

It has black and white colors on the top and purple-gold color on the outside!

The whole body is round and smooth, it is the flawless golden elixir!
　It just so happens that today is New Year’s Day, and it just so happens that today is the day when I formed the elixir

　　Actually, I wanted to write a small plot in the middle to pave the way for the sequel, but after thinking about it, I deleted it.

　　Tianjin accent: Xiao Chen, when will you become a Jindan Zhenren?

　　Just today!
