At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

Qingcheng Mountain, inside the cave.

Su Rui was wearing a green Taoist robe, sitting upright on a thatched mat, his eyes slightly closed, his expression dignified and solemn. In his hand, he held a magical herb that was surrounded by a misty aura, and was slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in it into his body, refining it into his own golden elixir.

At this time, half a month had passed since the Battle of Emei. The thrilling century-long sword fight between good and evil was about to usher in the final decisive moment. Since the sword fight began, the disciples of both the good and evil sects had experienced countless tragic fights and suffered heavy casualties. Especially those elite disciples who made it to the top of the list became the focus of competition between the two sides. Each of them became the prey of the good and evil sects, and they would die if they were not careful.

Even Yuan Ning and other masters in the Qingcheng Sect encountered ambushes many times when they went out. Fortunately, whenever danger came, Master Xiaoge would appear in time. Although these ambushers were powerful, they had no power to fight back in front of Master Xiaoge and could only end up dying miserably.

In this sword fight, many masters with powerful primordial spirits unfortunately perished or were suppressed. For example, Zhushan Sect Leader "died" at the hands of Ge Zhenren during the siege of Qingcheng Sect, Bai Gu Zhenren was killed by the Purple and Green Swords in the Emei Showdown, Xuanyuan Dharma King was suppressed by Ningcui Peak, and Wutaishan Sect Leader Hunyuan Zhenren was suppressed after surrendering. Some Zhenren in the righteous path were also ambushed and killed by the evil path, such as Zhang Bin Zhenren, the elder of Wudang Mountain, and Master Yuanzhen, the abbot of the Dong Sect.

However, Su Rui had never encountered an ambush, all because he had never stepped out of the cave in the past half month.

After the war, there were no important tasks to be performed in the sect. Moreover, the resources obtained from the looting of the Zhushan Sect Master's treasury were enough for him to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Therefore, he had been concentrating on cultivation during this period.

Now, in his Dantian, in that clear and round golden elixir surrounded by nine halos, a baby embryo began to appear faintly. The spiritual energy contained in the treasures he had swallowed before was now pouring into the golden elixir like a tide, constantly catalyzing the formation of this baby.

In the memory of the leader of the Zhushan Sect, there is actually a unique set of secrets for the gestation and cultivation of the Nascent Soul.

In the early stages of nurturing the Nascent Soul, the most important thing is to "understand". You need to understand the natural laws of seeds taking root and sprouting, plants blooming and bearing fruits, stars being born and dying, and creatures being born, aging, sick and dying. Only by truly understanding these can the Nascent Soul grow smoothly in the pill. When the shadow of the Nascent Soul begins to appear in the pill, the next thing to focus on is the word "supplement". At this time, you need to absorb a lot of inspiration from various natural treasures to make up for your own shortcomings. After all, the growth of the Nascent Soul requires sufficient energy support.

However, in the final stage, the most important thing is "stability". When the infant shadow inside the pill is full of spiritual energy, the foundation must be stabilized and the crucial moment must be quietly waited for - the moment of grasping the "treasure" to come. Only at this time can the golden pill be broken, allowing the Yuanying to break out of the shell and enter the Yuanying stage. Otherwise, whether the golden pill is broken too early or too late, it will cause damage to the Yuanying, bringing huge negative impact to the subsequent tribulation!

The reason why Su Rui was able to cultivate the shadow of the Nascent Soul in just half a month was really thanks to the help of the Mirage Dragon Illusion! He carefully read through all the phantom memories in the Mirage Dragon Illusion, and deeply understood the reincarnation of countless human and demon lives. Not only that, he also ventured into the gate of the starry sky, entered the starry sky for a long time to observe the movement of the stars, and after a period of arduous efforts, he finally achieved today's achievements.

So, why did he work so hard to improve his cultivation? It turned out that it was because he had seen too many geniuses and giants fall since the sword fight, which made him feel the crisis deeply!

At this moment, the little fox's voice suddenly rang in Su Rui's ears: "Lord God, Senior Brother Zhang Beiyang is outside the door asking to see you!"

This voice suddenly awakened Su Rui who was immersed in cultivation.

"Go and ask him to come in!"

After hearing this, Su Rui slowly stood up from the mat and stretched himself.

After Zhang Beiyang was welcomed in, he immediately grabbed Su Rui and said:

"Junior Brother Su, I came to you this time because I want to ask you for help with something. I hope you can help me!"

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If it is something I can do, I will definitely not refuse!" Su Rui raised his eyebrows slightly and answered without hesitation.

"In two days, it will be an important day for the good and evil forces to enter the ruins of the Heavenly Palace to fight for the destiny. According to the idea and plan of the headmaster, he will personally lead three of his favorite disciples to this battle for destiny. The headmaster has already decided on you and Brother Yuan Ning as the two candidates, and the remaining spot will be chosen from the inner disciples. I hope you can find a suitable opportunity to recommend me to the headmaster!"

Zhang Beiyang showed an earnest look on his face and spoke with an expectant tone.

"Brother, you have participated in the previous sword fighting competitions, so you should be very aware of the cruelty of them! This time, the battle of the Heavenly Palace ruins is related to the final ownership of a hundred years of luck, and its intensity will probably only increase! Brother, you are so eager to get this spot, are you mentally prepared to fight to the death and face death with courage?"

Su Rui couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Since he entered Qingcheng Mountain and began to practice, the person he interacted with most frequently and had the closest relationship with was none other than Zhang Beiyang. He didn't want to see Zhang Beiyang participate in the final battle of the Hundred Years Sword Fight, fearing that he would lose this precious and intimate friend forever.

"Junior brother, you should know that I have only achieved a mid-grade golden elixir so far. If I don't take a risk and go to the ruins of the Heavenly Palace to fight for that bit of luck, then there is no hope of forming a Nascent Soul in this life! Fighting for the Great Dao is like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will move backward. I really don't want to stay in this desperate situation just to survive. Only by fighting hard can I succeed!!"

Zhang Beiyang spoke with a hint of excitement, even his eyes were a little red.

After hearing these words, Su Rui couldn't help but be stunned. He thought to himself that this guy was probably stimulated by the fact that he could condense the golden elixir so quickly, otherwise how could he make such a radical decision?

But after thinking about it carefully, what he said does make sense. The great battle is like sailing against the current. If you don't fight against fate, then the end that awaits them may be death. It is better to take advantage of this time when the luck of the hundred-year sword fight is redistributed and strive for it! Even if you don't get it, the worst that can happen is that you will die and come back in the next reincarnation! But if you get it, maybe you can "live forever"!
