Divine Mystical Immortality: Starting Cultivation with the Town Martial Guard

When they had collected all the sand beast materials they could collect, Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at these hard-won materials with great expectations. Nangong Wan said: "With these materials, plus some auxiliary medicinal materials I collected before, we should have a good chance of refining the sixth-level refreshing pill."

The sixth-level refreshing pill is a very precious pill, which has a great effect on practitioners. It can quickly restore the spiritual power of practitioners. When practitioners break through bottlenecks or are exhausted after a long battle, a sixth-level refreshing pill can restore their vitality. This kind of pill is extremely rare on the market, because the materials for refining it are not only difficult to obtain, but also the refining process is extremely complicated.

Fu Shaoping said: "However, the process of refining the sixth-level refreshing pill is not easy. We still need to find a safe place with abundant spiritual power." Nangong Wan nodded in agreement. The two took the collected sand beast materials and walked towards a valley with rich spiritual power in the distance. Their hearts were full of longing for refining the sixth-level refreshing pill.

After collecting the sand beast materials, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan began to look for a suitable place for alchemy. They shuttled through this vast world of immortal cultivation, and after many days of exploration, they finally found an ideal place in a quiet valley.

This valley is surrounded by dense spiritual plants, and the valley is filled with rich spiritual mist, like a fairyland. There is a huge flat stone platform in the center of the valley. The surrounding spiritual power seems to converge towards the stone platform, forming a natural spiritual power vortex. Fu Shaoping stood in the valley, feeling the abundant spiritual power, and said with satisfaction: "Fellow Daoist Nangong Nangong, the spiritual power here is so rich and very quiet, it is a great place for alchemy."

Nangong Wan also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Brother Fu. However, in order to ensure that the alchemy process is not disturbed, we still need to set up several defensive formations."

So, the two began to get busy. Nangong Wan took out various rare formation flags and formation stones from the storage ring. His eyes were focused and serious, and he was muttering something. Fu Shaoping assisted on the side and inserted the formation flags in specific positions according to Nangong Wan's instructions.

Nangong Wan said while setting up the formation: "Brother Fu, I plan to set up the 'Hunyuan Spirit Protection Formation' for the first formation. This formation can resist external attacks and absorb the surrounding spiritual power to provide more energy for alchemy."

Fu Shaoping asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Nangong, this 'Hunyuan Spirit Protection Formation' is so magical, it must be very complicated to set up, right?"

Nangong Wan smiled slightly: "It is indeed a bit complicated, but don't worry, Brother Fu. I have studied this formation for many years and I am quite confident."

Under Nangong Wan's careful arrangement, the "Hunyuan Spirit Protection Formation" gradually took shape. Rays of spiritual power shuttled between the formation flags, forming a transparent spiritual power shield that enveloped the entire stone platform.

Then, Nangong Wan took out another set of formation flags: "Brother Fu, I am going to set up the second formation, the 'Pure Mind Concentration Formation'. Refining the sixth-level refreshing pill requires a high degree of concentration. This formation can eliminate distracting thoughts and keep our minds clear during the alchemy process."

Fu Shaoping deeply agreed: "Daoyou Nangong has considered it very carefully."

As the arrangement of the "Pure Mind Concentration Formation" was completed, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan both felt that their minds became particularly peaceful, as if everything around them had nothing to do with them, and only the alchemy in front of them was left.

After arranging the defensive formation, the two came to the center of the stone platform and prepared to start refining the pill. Nangong Wan took out the sand beast materials and other auxiliary medicinal materials that he had collected before, and placed them neatly on the stone platform.

Fu Shaoping looked at these materials and was a little worried: "Fellow Daoist Nangong, this sixth-level refreshing pill is extremely difficult to refine. Can we really succeed?"

Nangong Wan patted Fu Shaoping on the shoulder and said firmly: "Brother Fu, we have collected such precious sand beast materials, and we have this unique alchemy environment. With the cooperation of you and me, we will definitely succeed."

After listening to Nangong Wan's words, Fu Shaoping's worries were slightly relieved. He nodded: "Fellow Daoist Nangong is right, let's get started."

Nangong Wan took a deep breath and took the lead. He formed seals with both hands and injected spiritual power into the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace is a treasure of Nangong Wan. The furnace is engraved with ancient runes and exudes powerful spiritual power fluctuations. With the injection of spiritual power, the alchemy furnace slowly rose and floated in the air.

Fu Shaoping was not to be outdone. He picked up the crystal core of the sand beast and slowly injected his spiritual power into it, trying to extract the pure power in the crystal core. He said in his heart: "The power contained in this sand beast crystal core is so strong that it must be carefully refined without any mistakes."

Nangong Wan controlled the temperature of the alchemy furnace and said to Fu Shaoping: "Brother Fu, slowly inject the refined crystal core power into the alchemy furnace."

Fu Shaoping followed Nangong Wan's instructions and carefully injected the crystal core power into the alchemy furnace. At this time, the flame in the alchemy furnace became more vigorous, and various medicinal materials began to change under the burning of the flame.

As the alchemy progressed, beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan. Refining the sixth-level refreshing pill requires precise control of the temperature, the speed of spiritual power injection, and the order of fusion of various materials. Any mistake in any link may lead to the failure of alchemy.

Nangong Wan's inner monologue: "This sixth-level refreshing pill is indeed well-deserved. The refining process is so complicated that every step is like walking on a tightrope and cannot tolerate any carelessness."

Fu Shaoping also thought silently in his heart: "We must succeed. This elixir will be of great help to our cultivation. We cannot let down those precious sand beast materials."

Under the careful refining of the two people, the elixir gradually took shape in the alchemy furnace. However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, with dark clouds and lightning and thunder.

Fu Shaoping was shocked: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, this is a calamity!"

Nangong Wan's face also became solemn: "I didn't expect that the refining of this sixth-level refreshing pill would lead to a calamity. It seems that the quality of this pill is extraordinary."

The elixir tribulation is a test when refining high-level elixirs. Only by successfully surviving the elixir tribulation can the elixir be truly successfully refined. If it fails, not only will the elixir be reduced to ashes, but the alchemist may also be seriously injured.

Nangong Wan looked at Fu Shaoping and said seriously: "Brother Fu, this calamity is difficult to deal with. We must work together. I will control the alchemy furnace, and you are responsible for resisting the attack of the calamity."

Fu Shaoping said without hesitation: "Okay, fellow Taoist Nangong, don't worry about making alchemy. I will not let the calamity destroy our results."

The first thunderbolt of the Alchemy Tribulation fell. It was a purple thunderbolt as thick as a bucket, and it struck towards the Alchemy Furnace with the power to destroy everything. Fu Shaoping shouted loudly, mobilized all his spiritual power, and performed the "Tiangang Body Protecting Magic". A golden ray of light emanated from his body, facing the purple thunder and lightning.

"Boom!" The thunder and lightning collided with the protective light, making a deafening sound. Fu Shaoping only felt a huge force coming from him. His body involuntarily took a few steps back, but he gritted his teeth and stabilized his body.

Nangong Wan continued to control the refining of the elixir in the alchemy furnace. He was very anxious in his heart: "Brother Fu, you must resist!"

Fu Shaoping wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and responded loudly: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, I'm fine. Just concentrate on refining the elixir."

Immediately afterwards, the second pill calamity thunder fell again. This time the lightning was stronger and more powerful than before. Fu Shaoping knew that the "Tiangang Body Protecting Magic" alone could not withstand it. With a thought in his mind, he took out a sword from the storage ring. This sword was a weapon for self-defense.

He poured spiritual power into the sword, and the sword instantly glowed with dazzling light. Fu Shaoping held his sword and struck at the thunder and lightning. The sword intersected with thunder and lightning, causing a splash of brilliant sparks. Fu Shaoping felt that his arms were numb from the shock, but he still held the sword tightly and refused to flinch.

Nangong Wan was very moved when he saw Fu Shaoping working so hard. He speeded up the alchemy process, hoping to refine the elixir as soon as possible and end this elixir disaster.

As the alchemy process progresses, the elixir's light becomes brighter and brighter, reaching the final critical moment. And Dan Jie seemed to have realized that the elixir was about to be successfully refined, and became even crazier.

The third Alchemy Tribulation Thunder gathered the power of the first two Thunder Tribulations and turned into a huge thunder dragon that rushed towards the Alchemy Furnace. Fu Shaoping felt the terrifying power of Thunder Dragon, and he knew that he must go all out.

He stuck the sword on the ground, quickly formed seals with his hands, and cast his strongest defensive spell - "The Shield of All Laws Returning to the Sect". A shield composed of countless spiritual runes appeared in front of him. The shield exuded colorful light and seemed indestructible.

The thunder dragon hit the "All Laws Guizong Shield" and made an earth-shattering roar. Fu Shaoping felt as if his spiritual power had been drained, and his body was crumbling. But his eyes were still firm, and he kept encouraging himself in his heart: "We must hold on, and we can't let our previous efforts go in vain."

Nangong Wan also reached the most critical moment in the alchemy furnace. He poured his last spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace and chanted ancient alchemy spells. The elixir in the alchemy furnace has been completely formed and exudes a charming light.

"Brother Fu, if you work harder, the elixir will be ready soon!" Nangong Wan shouted.

When Fu Shaoping heard Nangong Wan's words, he gritted his teeth and injected the remaining spiritual power in his body into the shield.

Finally, the Thunder Dragon's power was exhausted and dissipated in the air. The elixir in the alchemy furnace was also successfully refined.

Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened the alchemy furnace. Two sixth-level refreshing pills emitting colorful light appeared in front of them. There are complex elixir patterns on the elixir, and each elixir pattern contains powerful spiritual power.

Fu Shaoping looked at the elixir, with a relieved smile on his tired face: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, we succeeded!"

Nangong Wan also said excitedly: "Yes, Brother Fu. This journey has not been easy."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at the two sixth-level refreshing pills emitting colorful light in front of them, and their hearts were filled with joy and expectation. These two elixirs were hard-won and were the result of their countless efforts. From collecting sand beast materials, finding a place for elixir refining, carefully arranging formations, to resisting the elixir disaster, every step was full of hardships.

Nangong Wan was the first to pick up a sixth-level refreshing pill, with a determined expression on her beautiful face. Fu Shaoping also picked up the other one without hesitation. After the two looked at each other, they put the elixir into their mouths at the same time.

The elixir melted in his mouth, and a majestic and pure spiritual power instantly exploded in Fu Shaoping's body. At this time, Fu Shaoping had restored his real name of Fu Shaoping. He did not dare to neglect at all and immediately started the "Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality". When this technique starts to work, the spiritual power is like an obedient soldier, slowly starting to move forward along the prescribed route.

The spiritual power starts from Dantian first, and goes up along the main meridian. Wherever it goes, the meridians are like being moistened by a spring, and some minor hidden injuries left over from the original practice are repaired quickly. Fu Shaoping can clearly feel that his mental power is recovering quickly, and it is constantly increasing with the flow of spiritual power.

When the spiritual power runs to the Danzhong acupoint, this is an important node for the gathering and conversion of spiritual power. Fu Shaoping concentrates his mind and carefully guides the spiritual power to convert. This process requires extremely precise control. If there is a slight deviation, the spiritual power may run out of control. Fortunately, he is experienced and successfully completes the conversion of spiritual power and continues to move towards the next acupoint.

As the spiritual power continues to circulate, a layer of faint green light begins to appear around Fu Shaoping's body. This is an external manifestation of the "Green Emperor Changsheng Jue" running deep. Fine beads of sweat gradually seep out of his forehead, because he can feel that he is very close to breaking through the third level of the spirit transformation.

However, just when the spiritual power is about to complete the last round of the Great Zhoutian cycle, Fu Shaoping encounters a bottleneck. The spiritual power in his body suddenly became a little stagnant, as if it was stuck in a quagmire, and the speed of advancement became slower and slower. He was shocked and knew that this was the critical period for breakthrough. If he could not break through this obstacle, he would not only fail to advance to the third level of the Spiritualization, but he might also be injured due to the backlash of spiritual power.

Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and silently encouraged himself in his heart: "I must succeed. I can't be defeated by this small obstacle." He began to try to adjust the rhythm of the spiritual power, increase the control of the spiritual power, and try to force the spiritual power to break through this obstacle.

However, this resistance was much greater than he imagined. His face turned a little pale, and his body trembled slightly. But he still didn't give up, and kept thinking about some special exercise techniques in "The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" in his mind.

Just when he was about to exhaust his mental strength, he suddenly remembered a note about "The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret" that he had obtained in an ancient cave. The note mentioned that when breaking through the bottleneck, you can try to compress the spiritual power for a short time and then release it suddenly. (End of this chapter)
