Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 373

[Chapter 372: Hundred Years (asking for monthly ticket)]

The natural barrier of Jindan!

For any foundation-building cultivator, except for those with natural spiritual roots, this is an unavoidable hurdle!

Tai Sui failed several times in his quest to form the elixir, wasting several third-level demon elixirs, as well as rare elixirs such as the Di Yuan Dan from the Red Sun Realm.

In the end, Fang Xi had to refine a furnace of high-level elixirs with third-grade medium-quality wood-type inner elixir as the main material to barely pass the test.

Tai Shuhong himself is a top-grade spiritual root, at least he won’t be a drag when it comes to forming the elixir. Moreover, he is refining the inner elixir of a monster, so the difficulty is much smaller than actually forming the elixir.

Only Daqing… was lucky!
But when it came to Zhong Hongyu, the situation became bad.

After all, this girl only had middle-grade spiritual roots, and it was difficult for her to build a foundation, which was a bit of a drag on her formation of a pill.

Moreover, the cultivation method was not completely compatible with the ‘Ethereal Root’, which resulted in slow progress in cultivation.

Even though he was determined and had the help of Fang Xi’s elixir, he was only able to complete his foundation building and reach the threshold of forming an elixir when he was over 170 years old.

Without Fang Xi’s financial support, it might not have been possible to break through before the deadline.

But when the elixir was formed, the real test began.

Although this woman was fortunate enough to use the secret method of ‘water and fire to refine the golden elixir’, and refine ‘black crystal quartz’ and ‘sky fire colored glaze’, which could be considered the most luxurious configuration after taking the five elements spiritual fruit, it could only increase the probability of forming an elixir by 20 to 30 percent.

Even if you bid for the Five Elements Golden Elixir, it would not be as useful as these two spiritual objects.

After all, there are certain requirements for the spiritual root attributes when it comes to forming the golden elixir from the five elements, while the secret method of ‘refining the golden elixir with water and fire’ is applicable to any spiritual root attribute.

It can be said that without Fang Xi’s spiritual support, Zhong Hongyu would probably fail in forming the elixir at the very beginning!

Instead of now, with the help of secret methods and the power of spiritual objects, he has passed several major levels in succession, initially condensed the prototype of the golden elixir, and triggered the celestial phenomenon of elixir formation!

Fang Xi’s powerful spiritual sense entered the woman’s Dantian and saw a slightly illusory golden elixir prototype with countless cracks on its surface.

He was very familiar with this scene, just like when he barely formed the golden elixir. If he could not operate the golden elixir safely and let it absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and turn it into a flawless golden elixir, it would fall back sooner or later, which was a real failure
of forming the elixir! But looking at this girl, Zhong Hongyu, she was almost exhausted at this point and could not move forward at all.

“Is it going to fail?”

“Just this last little bit?”

“Then I will lose everything, not only wasting precious Dan-forming spiritual objects, but also being unable to observe the evolution of the Void Rune of the Void Spirit Root Dan-forming spiritual root?”

“Fortunately, I have considered the contingency plan.”

Fang Xi sighed, and in a flash, he appeared beside Zhong Hongyu.

“Sir…I…”

Zhong Hongyu’s cheeks were pale and she showed a miserable smile.

“Keep calm, I have a way to remedy the situation…”

Fang Xi immediately recited a formula.

Zhong Hongyu couldn’t help but blush when she heard this…

…

outside world.

Zong Linghu looked at the gathering of the heaven and earth’s vitality, which was becoming increasingly difficult. No one knew what expression appeared on his face. “This phenomenon is a bit difficult… It seems that Sister Zhong’s Dan formation this time may be a bit…”

Suddenly, she looked in amazement at the Jindan celestial phenomenon that was about to dissipate, which condensed again and even evolved extremely smoothly.

Boom!

A pressure belonging to a true Jindan cultivator emanated out!

Zhong Hongyu successfully formed the elixir!
At this moment, many members of the Zhong family on Dragon Fish Island cried with joy, while other cultivators had extremely complicated expressions!
…

Inside the secret room.

Zhong Hongyu picked up the clothes on the ground, her face flushed: “Young Master…”

“No need to thank me. If you hadn’t reached the last step, or even just a little bit of vitality away from successfully forming a pill, I wouldn’t be able to pass some vitality to you through my secret technique.”

Fang Xi performed a cleaning spell on his body, and his clothes were immediately clean.

Thinking back to when Zhong Hongyu finally achieved perfection in the golden elixir, and the more complete silver runes that emerged one after another, his heart suddenly surged with emotion, and he just wanted to retreat and comprehend them carefully.

“Thank you for your kindness, sir…”

Zhong Hongyu bowed and said, “If it is because of me that the young master is seriously injured, I will never be able to atone for my sin even if I die a hundred times…”

“Since you have already condensed the golden elixir, you should still address me as a fellow Taoist in the future… As for the vitality, this little vitality will be restored after a few months of meditation, so you don’t have to worry about it. I will go back to retreat first, and you should familiarize yourself with the realm…”

Fang Xi left in a leisurely manner, without taking away a cloud.

“Just a fellow Taoist?”

A bitter smile appeared on Zhong Hongyu’s face, but she quickly calmed down and began to sit cross-legged to comprehend the mystery of the golden elixir.

After forming the elixir, one must avoid extreme joy or sorrow, otherwise it is easy to fall back to a lower state, and excessive joy will lead to sorrow…

…

In the secret room.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged with several blank talisman jades placed in front of him.

He closed his eyes and meditated. The silver runes that appeared in the golden elixir in Zhong Hongyu’s dantian during the previous practice were as vivid as if they were still fresh in his mind.

At the same time, the outer path Yuanying comprehended the insights of the Xingluo chessboard…

My thoughts on making my own ‘Air Ban Talisman’…

Comprehending the inspiration of countless prohibitions and formations in the teleportation array…

And the incomplete rune that he obtained when he observed Zhong Hongyu’s foundation building…

Of course, there is also the extremely blurry pattern on the ‘Treasure Mirror of the Heavens’, which seems to carry the aura of the Great Dao…

They all appeared in my mind one by one, constantly intersecting and merging…

Finally!

Fang Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and it was as if two lightning bolts flashed through the void.

The next moment, he raised his hand and a blank jade talisman flew out. The silver powder in the other box melted instantly, and he used his divine consciousness as a pen and the silver powder as ink to carve on the blank jade talisman.

Not long after, a brand new ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’ appeared!
“The rune’s completeness… 67%! Not enough!”

Fang Xi closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Time is like water…

In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

While Zhong Hongyu was consolidating his initial Jindan cultivation, coming out of seclusion to shock the cultivators in Wandao Lake, and convening a Jindan celebration, Fang Xi was still silently comprehending.

Inside the quiet room.

There were jade talismans lying all over the ground, and even a Jindan cultivator would be jealous if he saw any of them.

At this time, it is thrown away like garbage.

“combine!”

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

A flash of light appeared on Fang Xi’s hand, and it disappeared into a jade talisman.

When the talisman fell, it was grabbed by a green magical hand and brought in front of him.

“80% completeness… that’s already the limit.”

He sighed, and once again made a hand gesture, injecting a new ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’.

A magical scene appeared.

This ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’ actually began to slowly transform and turned into a white… chess piece? !

The foreign Yuanying smiled and waved his hand, and the white chess piece quickly sank into the Xingluo chessboard, shrinking continuously and remaining motionless.

“Combined with the Star Chessboard, this Void Treasure, this new ‘Forbidden Sky Talisman’ should be even more powerful, right?”

“In addition, I have made great progress in formation techniques. I should be able to set up an ultra-short distance teleportation formation…”

The so-called ‘ultra-short distance teleportation array’ naturally refers to a teleportation array with a transmission distance of no more than a thousand miles. Strictly speaking, it is basically of no use.

But it represents that Fang Xi’s attainments in formation have improved again. In the future, there is a glimmer of hope that he can set up a short-distance teleportation array of more than a thousand miles, or even a real teleportation array of more than ten thousand miles, or even an ancient teleportation array.

“Um?”

At this moment, Fang Xi’s expression changed.

He could feel that the arrangements outside Emerald Island had yielded results!

“Is it finally here?”

“A hundred-year agreement?”

Fang Xi murmured, looking towards the direction of Emerald Island with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

…

Emerald Isle.

A green light flew over, revealing the figure of a Jindan cultivator, who was Zhan Tu!
“Wandao Lake… Dragon fish, jadeite…”

“I’m finally back.”

Zhan Tu murmured, with a look of sighing emotion on his face.

“snort!”

In his sea of consciousness, a cold snort rang out: “I am really blind. Why did I choose you to perform the same fate secret technique… If I had chosen the Dragon Fish Island Master… He would have been in the late Jindan stage!”

The old ghost said indignantly, “We passed by here a few days ago and heard that the spirit beasts and cultivators on that island… have recently formed their elixir. You, who cost me so much effort to reach the middle stage of elixir formation, are you going to run into a wall and die?”

“The island master didn’t go to Emerald Island at all during the time when the ruins appeared. You think too much, old ghost… In addition, the Withering and Flourishing Art is profound and extensive. I am already good enough to practice it to the middle stage of the Core Formation Stage.”

Zhan Tu sighed, “I just didn’t expect… Zhong Hongyu also formed a golden elixir, and it’s not a fake elixir, but a real golden elixir! If it weren’t urgent, I would like to attend her golden elixir ceremony… After all, she and I are from the same batch of immortal seedlings on Longyu Island.”

“Oh right… why did you, old ghost, make the promise of a hundred years? Are you sure that the island master can cultivate to the late Jindan stage within a hundred years?”

Zhan Tu suddenly remembered something and asked again.

“Fool… How can I calculate the specific progress of a cultivator’s cultivation? If I hadn’t said that at the time, would the island master have let you go?”

The old ghost sneered, “What’s more… I was also worried that you, an idiot, would not be able to successfully condense the golden elixir or advance to the late stage of the Jindan… I just asked for an extra helper as a backup, but I didn’t expect that the backup plan back then seemed to really work… Fortunately, the Dragon Fish Island Master advanced to the late stage, otherwise with your mere mid-stage Jindan cultivation, it would be very troublesome to enter the ruins secret realm… If you were already in the late stage of the Jindan now, we could just get rid of that person and go it alone.”

“I see.”

Zhan Tu nodded: “Then shall we notify the island owner now?”

“Wait a minute…”

The old ghost suddenly said: “There seems to be something wrong in front of you!”

“Um?”

Zhan Tu shuddered, and a green sword energy flew out in an instant, surging in the air, revealing a formation restriction.

“Breath-suppressing restriction? It’s a formation!”

The old ghost shouted: “Someone was spying on us just now…”

“snort!”

Zhan Tu was, after all, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period. He snorted coldly and wielded a green wooden sword magic weapon that flew out, drawing a green rainbow several dozen feet long and hitting the restriction hard.

The formation collapsed in an instant, leaving only one of the wooden puppets.

Zhan Tu wanted to catch the wooden puppet without hesitation to study it carefully, but the next moment, the restriction that Fang Xi had placed in the wooden puppet’s body in advance took effect.

This wooden puppet spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes, without leaving a single trace…
