Beast-controlling fairy clan
Chapter 423 Breaking through the middle stage of Zifu [Please subscribe]
The spiritual power contained in the "Mountain Soul Pearl" was so huge that Zhou Chun estimated that it would be much more difficult for the stone to digest it than to digest a third-level low-grade demon pill.
So he was ready to wait ten or eight years.
After sealing the spirit beast room, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Two months later, Luo Qingni's Golden Elixir Ceremony was held grandly at "Qingni Ju".
It is said that on the day of the ceremony, there were more than 30 Jindan monks and nearly 200 Zifu monks who came to congratulate.
This shows how influential such a golden elixir stage alchemy master is, and how wide Luo Qingni’s network of contacts is.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why she was still hesitant and did not accept it easily when faced with top magic weapons and spiritual materials such as the spirit wood core.
Although Zhou Chun did not go to the scene, after hearing about the grand scene that day, he was very emotional and felt lucky for his previous tentative behavior.
Fortunately, when he saw that the gift failed, he took a backup plan in time to remedy it. Otherwise, if the gift was really returned, it would greatly affect the friendship between the two.
After the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Luo Qingni announced that she would go into seclusion again to concentrate on refining her natal magic weapon.
After Zhou Chun learned about this, he went to renew the rent of his cave for another five years, and then concentrated on cultivating his own magic power and practicing secret techniques.
There are no years of practice, and five years have passed in a flash.
After five years of silent cultivation, Zhou Chun felt that his realm barrier had become very loose. At most, he could break through in one fell swoop after another year or two of silent cultivation.
At the same time, after these years of silent cultivation, he finally mastered the secret attack technique of "Golden Gang Slash".
Zhou Chun was very satisfied with the power of the secret technique "Golden Gang Slash".
After his testing, once this secret technique is activated, its power is no worse than a third-level high-grade spell.
After his cultivation reaches the middle stage of Zifu, the power of the secret technique will be further enhanced.
Moreover, this secret technique itself has three levels. Now Zhou Chun has only successfully cultivated the first level and can perform "Golden Gang Slash" once.
If he reaches the second level of cultivation, not only can he perform "Golden Gang Slash" twice, but the power of the secret technique will also increase accordingly.
If you can practice to the third level, you can cast "Golden Gang Slash" three times, and the power will be as powerful as the fourth level spell!
It should be said that Tianyuan Immortal City is indeed a holy land for cultivation. As long as you have spiritual coins in your hand, you can easily buy many things here.
The gold energy needed for Zhou Chun's cultivation, as well as the high-quality gold energy needed for practicing secret techniques, are sold in many stores here, and reservations are also accepted.
If Zhou Chun was willing to spend money, he could rent a cave specifically for the cultivation of Jindan monks. The concentration of spiritual energy inside was no worse than those of the Jindan monks in Qinglian Temple.
It's just that the cost here is too high.
The rent for the cave that Zhou Chun is currently using in ten years is as high as 45,000 spiritual coins, which is like a waste of money.
If he hadn't made several big fortunes one after another, even if he had the support of the Zhou family, he probably wouldn't be able to afford such expenses.
"Calculating the time, Fellow Daoist Luo should be out of seclusion by now!"
Thoughts flashed in Zhou Chun's mind, and he immediately sent a communication talisman to Luo Qingni to inquire about the situation.
Within a quarter of an hour, Luo Qingni's reply came.
Then he got up and packed his things with a happy face, and went to visit Luo Qingni Cave Mansion.
Arriving at "Qingni Residence", Zhou Chun saw Luo Qingni again after several years, and found that the aura on the other person's body was deeper, giving him a vague feeling of extreme danger.
Obviously, after refining the natal magic weapon, Luo Qingni's strength suddenly increased greatly.
At this time, after the two of them greeted each other, Zhou Chun said half-jokingly: "Fellow Daoist Luo has finally come out of seclusion. Zhang has been looking forward to it all these years, hoping that fellow Taoist Taoist will come out of seclusion soon!"
When Luo Qingni heard what he said, her eyes blinked slightly and she said in a leisurely tone: "There was an accident in the middle, so it was delayed for two more years and made Fellow Daoist Zhang wait for a long time."
"Haha, Zhang was just joking. Fellow Daoist Luo, don't worry."
Zhou Chun smiled, looked at Luo Qingni and said, "I wonder when Fellow Daoist Luo will be free and be able to help Zhang start the alchemy furnace."
"Since Qing Ni has been released from seclusion, she will naturally be available at any time. If Fellow Daoist Zhang is in a hurry, he can do it today."
Luo Qingni replied seriously.
Hearing this, Zhou Chun quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. Zhang has been waiting for so many years, and it's not half a day away. How about starting tomorrow?"
"You can do anything!"
Luo Qingni nodded slightly and agreed.
So Zhou Chun stayed for a while, discussed with her the situation of the elixir to be refined, and then left.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chun came to "Qingni Residence" again and followed Luo Qingni into her alchemy room.
Although the two currently have a good relationship, in order not to test their humanity and to show their trust, Luo Qingni still took the initiative to ask Zhou Chun to accompany him to make alchemy.
This time she will help Zhou Chun refine four furnaces of elixirs, namely three furnaces of "Foundation Building Pills" and one furnace of "Zengyuan Pills".
For the rest of the elixirs, Zhou Chun has not yet gathered enough main materials, but now he cannot refine them yet.
"Foundation Building Pill" Luo Qingni admitted that she had not refined it several times, but with her current alchemy skills, refining an elixir of this level was a piece of cake.
The first batch of "Foundation Building Pills" was refined in only seven days. Eight pills were produced, which was considered normal performance.
After resting for a day, Luo Qingni started refining the second furnace of "Foundation Building Pill".
Another seven days passed, and the second furnace of "Foundation Building Pills" was released, with the same eight pills.
Then he continued to rest for a day and started refining the third furnace of "Foundation Building Pill".
Perhaps it was because the first two batches of "Foundation Building Pills" were used to lay the foundation. When the third batch of "Foundation Building Pills" was released, Luo Qingni performed exceptionally and produced nine pills at once!
As a result, Zhou Chun harvested a total of twenty-five spiritual pills from three furnaces of "Foundation-Building Pills", far exceeding expectations.
"Fortunately, fellow Daoist Zhang will take stock of the elixirs first. Qing Ni will rest for three days before refining the 'Zeng Yuan Dan'."
After removing the formation shield and walking out of the alchemy area, Luo Qingni handed Zhou Chun the nine newly baked "Foundation Pills" and then went back to his bedroom to rest.
Refining alchemy is a very mentally demanding task. After refining three batches of "Foundation Building Pills" in a row, even a golden elixir stage monk like Luo Qingni will consume a lot of mental energy. He must rest for a few days before he can reach full state.
And Zhou Chun also returned to his cave.
Three days later, Zhou Chun came to visit again and witnessed Luo Qingni refining the "Zengyuan Pill".
Compared with the "Foundation Building Pill" for monks in the Qi Refining Stage, the "Zengyuan Pill" is undoubtedly much more difficult to refine.
According to what Luo Qingni said, if she was still at the Zifu stage, it would take at least seven, seven and forty-nine days to refine a furnace of "Zengyuan Pill".
Because just tempering the impurities and residual thoughts of monsters contained in the third-level demon elixir would cost her a lot of time and attention.
But now that her cultivation has broken through to the early stage of the Golden Core and possesses the True Fire of the Golden Core, this time should be shortened a lot.
Luo Qingni raised her hand and the demonic elixir of the snake lizard was driven into the elixir furnace.
Then she opened her mouth and spat out, and a ball of green alchemy fire fell under the alchemy furnace and began to temper the demon elixir in the alchemy furnace.
During this process, you can vaguely see wisps of black smoke floating out of the alchemy furnace, turning into a snake lizard monster in mid-air and neighing upwards, seeming to resent the injustice of the sky.
But Luo Qingni just blew the black smoke away with a gentle breath.
Zhou Chun was not surprised at all when he saw this scene.
Not to mention that the snake lizard monster is just a wisp of residual thoughts in the demon elixir, and has no ability to harm people at all. Even if the real snake lizard monster soul is here, Luo Qingni, a golden elixir stage monk, can completely disperse it with just one word. .
However, after witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the rumors in the world of immortality.
It is rumored that the elixir is refined from the inner elixir of monsters. If the alchemist's skills are not good enough and the residual thoughts of the monsters are not completely purified, then the elixir after the pill is made into a pill may contain the residual thoughts of the monsters.
And if a cultivator swallows such an elixir, he or she will easily become possessed while sitting in meditation.
Therefore, when taking such elixirs, you should generally check carefully to avoid making mistakes.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and thirty-two days pass in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Luo Qingni, who had been slowly cultivating the elixir, suddenly increased the power of the elixir fire, and then quickly made a secret to condense the elixir.
Not long after, as she played the elixir-collecting technique, the furnace lid instantly flew upwards, and seven rays of spiritual light flew out from it, turning into seven round elixirs and falling into the jade bottle in her hand.
Then she lowered her head and glanced at the elixirs in the jade bottle, then nodded slightly and said: "There are seven elixirs, one more than most times before. It seems that the increase in cultivation level is indeed an improvement on the level of elixir refining." The improvement is of significant help, and the elixir fire is indeed the most suitable true fire for alchemy!"
Then he put out the fire, removed the formation shield, and handed the elixir to Zhou Chun.
"The elixir actually turned into seven. It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo's alchemy skills have improved again. Congratulations."
Zhou Chun took the elixir, looked it over for a moment, then put it away, and then expressed his congratulations to Luo Qingni with a smile on his face.
"It's just the changes brought about by the improvement of cultivation, it can't be considered a real improvement."
Luo Qingni waved her hands gently, without any sign of complacency.
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chun and asked: "In a few days, Qing Ni will go to Master Ge Yun to exchange the elixir recipe. How did Fellow Daoist Zhang consider the original proposal?"
The suggestion she made was naturally about refining the "Dragon Spirit Pill".
After hearing what she said, Zhou Chun felt depressed.
In the past few years, while Zhou Chun was cultivating, he naturally did not forget to go to Master Ge Yun to refine elixirs.
But until now, he still hasn't been able to place an order.
Obviously, as Luo Qingni said, Master Ge Yun is currently busy reaching a higher realm of alchemy and has no time to take on such a small order.
But now that Luo Qingni mentioned this matter again, Zhou Chun pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then Zhang will bring out two demon pills for Fellow Daoist Luo to refine, and let's see the results first!"
He has three dragon-born monster pills, one each of third-level low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade.
Of course, he couldn't use the most precious third-level high-grade demon elixir for Luo Qingni to practice, unless Luo Qingni's first two batches of elixirs could produce stable elixirs.
Seeing his promise to make alchemy at this time, Luo Qingni also showed a smile on his face. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, then Qingni would like to thank Fellow Daoist Zhang for his trust. As a thank you to Fellow Daoist Zhang, I will not accept the alchemy this time." It’s all Daoyou Zhang’s expense.”
She had said at the beginning that she was willing to refine three furnaces of pills for Zhou Chun for free, which coincided with the previous three furnaces of "Foundation Building Pills".
Therefore, according to the rules, there is a fee for refining the "Zengyuan Pill" this time.
Now because Zhou Chun promised to train her, she waived the fee again, which was considered a return favor to Zhou Chun.
This made Zhou Chun feel better.
He immediately said: "Zhang doesn't know what other materials are needed for the 'Dragon Spirit Pill' besides the third-level dragon-born monster inner pill. If you want to make the pill, you will have to have connections with fellow Taoist Luo to help gather other materials." .”
When Luo Qingni heard this, he immediately agreed: "This matter is easy to talk about. As long as fellow Taoist Zhang is willing to provide spiritual coins and thousand-year elixir, Qingni will try his best to help fellow Taoist gather relevant materials as quickly as possible."
After the two reached an agreement, Zhou Chun said goodbye and left.
And Luo Qingni's work efficiency is indeed fast. In just the past two months, she informed Zhou Chun that she had exchanged the prescription for the "Dragon Spirit Pill" and began to mobilize relationships to collect other materials.
According to what he said, the most difficult material to collect for the "Dragon Spirit Pill" is the third-level dragon-born monster inner pill. Except for the two common thousand-year-old elixirs, the other materials are not particularly valuable and difficult to find.
Therefore, it is not difficult to collect the materials for two furnaces of elixirs.
The difficulty now is that the Luo Qingni Pill recipe has just been obtained, and it needs careful study and understanding before refining it.
After all, she only received the pill recipe in exchange. Master Ge Yun would definitely not give her the tips and related experience of refining the "Dragon Spirit Pill".
Zhou Chun was not in a hurry, so he let her slowly comprehend and study first. He also renewed the rent for the cave for another five years and silently cultivated towards the middle stage of the Zifu.
Two years later, Zhou Chun suddenly broke through the realm barrier in a normal process, and his cultivation level officially reached the middle stage of Zifu.
"Phew, we finally succeeded. This is really not easy!"
In the cave, Zhou Chun woke up from meditation and felt the surge of mana in his body, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, the past ten years can be said to be the most stable years since he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
He has never been distracted by any external affairs like he has been in the past ten years or so, and can concentrate on his cultivation.
Especially during the ten years when his cultivation was stuck in the realm barrier, he had completely become an ascetic monk. He only worked hard to polish his magic power and practice secret techniques every day, and his cultivation was not completed.
This kind of practice is not only the polishing of the magic power, but also the polishing of the mind.
If we can't calm down and silently endure the feeling of loss that we practice diligently every day but have not made any progress in our magic power, it will be difficult to achieve today's breakthrough.
There is no doubt that this practice, which lasted for more than ten years, has baptized Zhou Chun's entire spiritual mentality.
The original impetuousness in his heart has been completely washed away in the past ten years of practice.
At this time, he no longer just wanted to seek opportunities everywhere to improve his magic power and break through the realm as soon as possible, as he did before when he first came to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He gradually understood that sometimes the growth of mana cultivation too fast may not be a good thing.
Being down-to-earth and practicing diligently are the foundation for cultivating immortality.
You can rely on external forces such as elixirs, but you must not regard them as shortcuts.
There are no shortcuts in life, and there are no shortcuts in practice!
"I don't know what's going on with the stone now. Counting the time, it has been sleeping for more than seven years. There should be some changes now!"
Zhou Chun thought about this and immediately opened the closed door of the spirit beast room to check the situation.
It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. When he looked at it, he himself was stunned.
I saw that the stone that was originally lying in the spirit beast room was now gone, and there was a huge mud-yellow stone egg in the spirit beast room!
The stone egg is oval in shape as a whole, nearly two feet long and more than one foot high.
"The stone...it turned into an egg!"
Zhou Chun looked at the stone egg with a surprised look on his face. Through the contractual connection with his spiritual pet, he was able to confirm that the golden armored rock turtle stone was inside the stone egg.
But the question is, how was this stone egg formed?
The original size of the stone was larger than this stone egg!
"It seems that the 'Shan Po Pearl' is really in tune with the stone. Maybe it will give me a different surprise after its breakthrough evolution this time!"
After silently looking at the stone egg for a long time, Zhou Chun also saw some clues and couldn't help sighing expectantly.
He knew that some monster insects would spin silk into a cocoon to wrap themselves before evolving, and then bite through the cocoon and come out after successfully evolving.
The golden-armored rock turtle stone is now turned into a stone egg, which is undoubtedly a similar behavior.
This stone egg can not only protect it, but also isolate it from the influence of the external environment, allowing it to concentrate on transformation and evolution.
Even so, Zhou Chun had no idea of moving the stone egg.
Because he knows one thing very well, the golden-armored rock turtle whose main attribute is earth is more likely to evolve successfully when it is in contact with the earth.
Not to mention that he is still in Tianyuan Immortal City, and the spiritual energy under his feet is extremely rich, which is very suitable for making major breakthroughs.
After taking a deep look at the stone egg, Zhou Chun closed the door of the spirit beast room again.
Next, Zhou Chun sent another communication talisman to Luo Qingni, asking about refining the "Dragon Spirit Pill".
As a result, Luo Qingni replied that she had not yet fully understood the elixir recipe and had no plans to blindly refine the elixir at the moment.
Zhou Chun liked her cautious and responsible attitude very much, and naturally he would not rush her.
After all, he still has two "Huang Jing Dan" and seven "Zeng Yuan Dan" in his hand, and there is no shortage of elixirs for the time being.
So Zhou Chun returned to the practice room, took out a jade bodhi fruit and swallowed it.
Previously, his cultivation was stuck on the realm barrier and he could not break through. He was worried that taking it would waste the power of the medicine, so he did not take it.
Now that the cultivation level has been broken through, without this worry, it is natural to realize the effect of this thing as soon as possible.
And this Jade Bodhi Fruit is indeed a spiritual fruit that Luo Qingni admires.
After Zhou Chun took one and refined it, he found that not only did his consciousness, which had just been enhanced due to his realm breakthrough, increase by nearly 10%, but his mana cultivation also increased a lot, which was worth a year of hard work.
The key is that the increase in mana brought about by this spiritual fruit is very neutral and peaceful. It is not as manic and frivolous as pills. It is almost the same as the increase in mana through meditation.
After discovering this benefit, he immediately took another pill.
But after taking it for the second time, the effect was much worse.
The spiritual consciousness only increased by about one-thirtieth, but the increase in mana cultivation was not much different, still about one year.
This completely extinguished Zhou Chun's original intention of taking the third pill.
He planned to leave the remaining two to his two elders, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, as a sign of filial piety as a junior.
Then Zhou Chun reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist again, and this time what he took out was an "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".
He has thirty-three "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" plants in his hand, which are more precious than the thirty-three plants of the thousand-year-old elixir.
However, this item was too precious and could easily be exposed as stolen goods, so he did not dare to exchange it with others easily.
However, it would be a pity to keep this item in the storage bag.
Therefore, Zhou Chun is now ready to taste the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" for himself and see what benefits it can bring to him.
If the benefits were considerable, he planned to indulge himself in luxury and eat all the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".
High-end ingredients often do not require any cooking skills and can be eaten raw!
After Zhou Chun removed all the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" from a seven-leaf purple bamboo grass, he stuffed it into the innermost part and ate it raw.
The crystal-like "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" is actually very hard, and it would be difficult for a Zifu period monk to chew it if it were eaten raw.
But whether Zhou Chun is majoring in the "Golden Cauldron Mysterious Technique" or practicing the "Secret of Dragon Transformation" secret method, it has a considerable tempering effect on the physical body.
Now his physical strength alone is no worse than some golden elixir stage monks.
So he can still chew these "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".
And the taste of this kind of spiritual object, which was originally only enjoyed by Nascent Soul monks, did not disappoint.
After the hard bamboo rice is chewed, it immediately reacts wonderfully with the saliva in the mouth, and a faint sweet flavor quickly spreads and fills the brain.
The bamboo rice that was swallowed quickly decomposed into extremely pure spiritual power and spread throughout the body.
Zhou Chun closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then slowly used his kung fu to refine the spiritual power in his body.
After an unknown amount of time passed like this, Zhou Chun finally refined all the spiritual power released by the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" in his body.
At this time, he carefully felt his own situation and found that the improvement in his cultivation level brought by this "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" was actually not much.
It is probably equivalent to three months of hard training, which is far inferior to the previous Jade Bodhi Fruit.
However, in addition to improving cultivation, "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" also has the effect of tempering the body.
Zhou Chun obviously felt that his physical body was slightly strengthened. If he could keep taking it, his physical body would definitely be greatly strengthened.
As for the rumored life-prolonging effect, he didn't feel it at all. Maybe it was because he only took one strain and the effect was not obvious.
Generally speaking, eating "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" by yourself is a bit too wasteful. It is better to exchange it for a thousand-year elixir.
Therefore, Zhou Chun did not continue to eat the remaining thirty-two "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" plants, but carefully preserved them in jade boxes, preparing to find an opportunity to sell them off later.
This kind of spiritual object itself is durable in preservation, and it will not lose its medicinal effect even if it is stored for hundreds of years.
And after a hundred years, the ancient ruins will no longer be mentioned as often as they are now. By then, Zhou Chun may have succeeded in forming the elixir, and will have the confidence to trade with others.
After half a year had passed like this, Zhou Chun, who was cultivating in a secret room, suddenly had a look on his face, made a seal with his hands, and summoned a ray of fire to fall in front of him.
After he read the contents of the communication talisman, his face suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly got up and left the cave.
Not long after, Zhou Chun arrived at an inn in the fairy city, and then met Lin Hongyu who had come from afar.
"Junior pays homage to Elder Lin."
In the room, after Zhou Chun saw Lin Hongyu, he quickly bowed to meet her.
"There is no need to be polite, Zhengchun. This place is not in a family, so there is no need for so many etiquette."
Lin Hongyu waved her hand, indicating that you're welcome.
Then without Zhou Chun asking, she took the initiative to tell her why she came.
"I came to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time because I wanted to seek help for Wan'er to find spiritual objects to help open up the Zi Mansion. I also came to visit you on the way and brought you a few letters from home."
Having said this, he nodded to Zhou Chun with a satisfied look and said: "Not bad, Zhengchun, you have broken through to the middle stage of Zifu so quickly. If Dao Yi and the others knew about it, they would definitely be very pleased."
When Zhou Chun heard her words, he did not show any sense of satisfaction, but asked with concern: "I have been away from home for more than ten years, is everything in the family okay?"
When Lin Hongyu heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, everything has been fine in the Zhou family for more than ten years. The relevant situation has been written in the family letter by Zhou Daoyou and Dao Yi. You will understand after reading it."
After saying that, he handed Zhou Chun family letters written by several Zhou elders into his hand.
Although Zhou Chun wanted to know the contents of the family letter, he did not open it now.
At the moment, he just put the family letters into his storage bag, and then said to Lin Hongyu: "This junior has been in Tianyuan Immortal City for more than ten years, and he has some understanding of the situation in the city. Is there any place where Elder Lin can use this junior?"
"That's not necessary. I have received reliable information and know where to get the spiritual objects to help open up the Zi Mansion. You don't need to worry too much."
Lin Hongyu shook her head and declined his kindness.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't ask any more questions. He immediately reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the twenty-five "Foundation Pills".
"Then please Elder Lin, when you return to your family, take these foundation-building pills back and give them to your uncle and the others!"
