Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen sat meditating quietly on the ground. He had returned from the Xuandan Palace. He naturally understood what the leader Gao Wukong said, so he had to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to handle it. At this moment, he had already taken the Fayuan Pill given to him by Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng's Fa Yuan Dan contained a hint of Taoism, and this trace of Taoism finally made Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation begin to change. At this time, within Zhang Zhiwen's Qi Sea, the trace of Taoism from Liu Suifeng had already been The sword intention was swallowed up, and then turned into a transparent ray of Tao intention suspended in the sea of ​​​​qi, swimming around Jianwan.

This seemingly transparent Taoist meaning does not have any Taoist meaning, and is more like the effect of medicine, pushing Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation to the second level of foundation building. However, Zhang Zhiwen is still unable to break through to the second level of foundation building, because Jianwan gradually His body began to tremble. Obviously, if he wanted to reach the second level of foundation building, Zhang Zhiwen had to upgrade his sword pill to the second level of foundation building.

This sword pill is his natal sword pill, which contains the ninefold sword intention and is extremely sharp. Zhang Zhiwen naturally knows how to improve the level of the sword pill, so he must let the sword pill absorb enough spiritual gold, and the sword pill can naturally improve Go to the second level of foundation building!

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen is preparing spiritual gold at this moment. He doesn't have much money on him, so naturally he can't purchase large quantities of ore or spiritual gold. However, when Zhang Zhiwen was visiting the affairs hall before, he accidentally purchased some ancient Tianshui stones. Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Li also said that if the ancient Tianshui stone is refined, the ultimate High-grade spiritual gold is extremely precious, but the ancient Tianshui stone needs Dao fire to refine. Naturally, Zhang Zhiwen does not have Dao fire, but he does have the Xianfu furnace, so Zhang Zhiwen plans to test whether the Shitai furnace can smelt it. Tianshui ancient stone, because Zhang Zhiwen had not thrown the ore into the Shitai furnace for refining before, but only for refining spiritual weapons.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen is in the Immortal Mansion. After many years, the Immortal Mansion has more than doubled in size. The Shitai Furnace has also doubled in size, and the spiritual field has also doubled in size. The entire Immortal Mansion has also doubled in size. The space is also twice as big. When the Xuanling tree was cultivated before, the Xuanling tree was almost full. The Immortal Mansion barrier has been raised, but now the Xuanling Pill is far from reaching the height of the barrier. This change is obviously caused by Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation, and Zhang Zhiwen's cultivation naturally also appears on the Immortal Mansion stone tablet. Except for the grade-level changes, there are not many other changes, so the destiny is still a low-grade destiny.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't care about this. His fate was not good, so there was nothing strange about it. Naturally, what he was most concerned about now was whether the Tianshui ancient stone could be smelted by the Shitai furnace, so Zhang Zhiwen took out an ancient Tianshui stone and threw it in. Stone platform furnace.

As soon as the ancient water stone entered the Shitai furnace, it reacted immediately, and the reaction was quite intense. It was much more intense than the reaction of the spiritual weapon entering the Shitai furnace. The molten liquid immediately began to boil, which surprised Zhang Zhiwen. And he was still a little nervous. He was worried that Tianshui Ancient Stone would cause any bad reaction to Shitai Furnace, such as exploding the furnace or something. This was his forbidden area in the Immortal Mansion. If something happened, he would probably be finished. of.

Fortunately, although the ancient Tianshui stone had a violent reaction, it did not cause the furnace to explode in the end, and the spiritual gold was separated very smoothly. The color of the spiritual gold turned out to be colorful and extremely beautiful, but the ancient Tianshui stone was not enough. Enough The size of a sea bowl, the extracted Ancient Spirit Gold is only the size of a grain of rice, and the entire refining process is also quite slow. If it were not in the Immortal Mansion, Zhang Zhiwen felt that if he wanted to refine the Ancient Spirit Gold, it would probably take more than half a month. time!

It’s no wonder that no one wants the Tianshui Ancient Stone. Let’s not talk about whether other monks have Dao Fire. Even for monks who have Dao Fire, refining it is very time-consuming. What can this ancient spirit gold do? To refine a magic weapon long sword, I'm afraid it would take more than 10,000 grains, right? Of course, it is much easier for Zhang Zhiwen here. He does not need to waste time here, he can just throw the Tianshui Ancient Stone into the Shitai Furnace.

But Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. He wanted to test whether the effect of this ancient spirit gold was good, so he took out such a small grain of ancient spirit gold and absorbed it. After holding the ancient spirit gold in his hand and transporting it, there was an abnormal feeling. The strong and vigorous spiritual gold aura suddenly emerged, and Zhang Zhiwen was also quite shocked, because he had absorbed other spiritual gold, and the spiritual gold separated from the spiritual weapon was far from being so strong. With a fierce aura, Zhang Zhiwen estimated in his mind that this ancient spirit gold is ten thousand times stronger than ordinary spirit gold, and it seems to be more than that. If the spirit stone has the difference between low-grade and medium-grade, then the spirit gold will definitely have this difference. This difference is that the previous spiritual gold should only be of the grade of low-grade spiritual stone. At this moment, this small grain of ancient spiritual gold is likely to be at the level of the top-grade spiritual stone, or even exceed the top-grade spiritual stone.

Therefore, this ancient spiritual gold should be more than the top-grade spiritual gold. That top-grade spiritual gold itself can be exchanged for 10,000 mid-grade spiritual gold. The materials used to refine quasi-top-level spiritual weapons are estimated to be close to mid-grade spiritual gold. level, so Zhang Zhiwen’s feeling and judgment should be almost correct.

This is no wonder that Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Li said that the ancient spirit gold extracted from Tianshui Ancient Stone is of unimaginable value. This thing is extremely valuable, and it is also extremely rare. You must know that the best spiritual stones themselves are also very rare, and the higher ones are fairy spirits. Stone, those are rare things in the world.

So Zhang Zhiwen was quite surprised, because Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Li also said that this Tianshui Ancient Stone was almost abandoned because no one could refine it. However, the output of this Tianshui Ancient Stone did not seem to be that high, because it seemed to come from the core of the mine, and the output was estimated to be not much. But no matter what, this kind of Tianshui Ancient Stone should still be available outside, and the ancient spiritual gold refined from it is extremely precious. Then Zhang Zhiwen hesitated again. It seemed a pity to absorb such precious ancient spiritual gold. If it was sold, it might be exchanged for more spiritual gold.

But Zhang Zhiwen just thought about it, because this ancient spiritual gold was very rare. Once it appeared on the market, it might also attract all kinds of suspicion. This ancient spiritual gold was indeed valuable, but it was obviously not easy to sell. It seemed that this ancient spiritual gold could only be kept for his own use.

Although this is a bit regrettable, at least it is also used for self-use to improve cultivation, so Zhang Zhiwen is relieved. He is not a person who is obsessed with money. He just needs money, not that he likes money. In this way, Zhang Zhiwen began to absorb the ancient spirit gold with peace of mind.

Soon, a small grain of ancient spirit gold was absorbed by Zhang Zhiwen, but the speed of the sword pill's improvement was negligible, which made Zhang Zhiwen a little helpless. He did not expect that the sword pill's improvement would be so expensive, because although it is only a small grain of ancient spirit gold, it is worth 10,000 grains of medium-grade spirit gold. The price should not be much different from that of spirit stones. Although a grain of spirit gold is only one-tenth of a grain of spirit gold, now this small grain of ancient spirit gold is equivalent to the value of 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Zhang Zhiwen estimated that he actually needed to consume 100 grains of ancient spirit gold to upgrade the sword pill to the second stage of foundation building!

What is this concept? This means that Zhang Zhiwen needs not only a large amount of Fa Yuan Dan to improve his cultivation, which is valuable in itself, but also a huge amount of spiritual gold, otherwise it is difficult to improve his cultivation!

He is only improving his cultivation from the first stage of foundation building to the second stage of foundation building, but look at how many resources are needed now? Not to mention the elixirs, hundreds of Fa Yuan Dan, tens of thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones, and the ancient spiritual gold, which is an astonishing consumption, which directly requires hundreds of thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones. If Zhang Zhiwen didn't get this ancient spiritual gold by chance, where would he have so much money to purchase spiritual gold?

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Zhiwen felt quite scared. The improvement of the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art was so expensive. No wonder the Nine Heavens Blue Sword Art was so powerful. It was all built up with money!

However, at this moment, Zhang Zhiwen still had a hundred pieces of Tianshui Ancient Stone in his hand, which seemed to be enough for him to improve his cultivation to the second stage of foundation building. Zhang Zhiwen also breathed a sigh of relief. He would first improve his cultivation to the second stage of foundation building, and then slowly solve the future things later.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen began to absorb the ancient spirit gold with peace of mind, and time passed unknowingly for more than half a month. Finally, when Zhang Zhiwen absorbed the last grain of ancient spirit gold, the sword pill hummed loudly, and then with a puff, it changed like a shelled egg, from a pale white sword pill to a pale green sword pill, and the sword pill was surrounded by colorful auras, which were obviously the auras of ancient spirit gold, and the sharpness of the sword pill instantly soared, and it was even more sharp.

As the sword ball was upgraded and broke through, Zhang Zhiwen also clearly felt that the shackles of his cultivation were completely lifted, as if a part of the space in the sea of ​​qi was vacated to inject other Daoyi methods. This was a sign that Zhang Zhiwen could continue to improve Daoyi after the second stage of foundation building.

Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he could continue to improve Daoyi, it would be fine. Otherwise, how would he explain to the head of the sect? Moreover, everyone knew that he had the Daoyi of the second level of Dan Dao, but if he couldn't even release the Dan Dao spirit fire, his fake Daoyi would naturally be exposed. I really don't know how to describe it.

But now it's different. His cultivation has finally broken through to the second level of foundation building. Zhang Zhiwen also breathed a sigh of relief. As for whether he can improve other Daoyi, that's another matter. Anyway, there is a chance. Zhang Zhiwen withdrew from the state of cultivation and then stood up and came to the yard outside.

These days, he was in seclusion and practicing, Qin Luoyun did not dare to disturb him. Zhang Zhiwen also saw a spiritual crane tied outside the yard. It was the spiritual crane of Xuandan Sect, which could be rented in the Affairs Pavilion. However, for Zhang Zhiwen, he did not need to rent it. Xuandan Sect specially equipped him with one as a means of transportation.

However, Zhang Zhiwen could not use it, so Qin Luoyun usually used it, because Qin Luoyun had to help Zhang Zhiwen, and it was impossible for him to run around every day. The Lingshan Mountain was quite far from the Affairs Hall. For the foundation-building cultivators, it was not a big problem. As long as they flew for a while, they could reach it. But for the Qi-refining cultivators, it would be a long journey, so it was very necessary to raise a spiritual crane.

This spiritual crane was also quite well-behaved. When it saw Zhang Zhiwen coming out, it did not call randomly, but only chirped twice, and then closed its eyes to rest. It can be seen that this spiritual crane was well taken care of by Qin Luoyun, and its feathers were much more beautiful and colorful than before.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwen was in a very calm mood. He sat quietly in the yard. He had just upgraded his cultivation to the second stage of foundation building. He needed to consolidate it, so he naturally needed to concentrate and calm down. But at this moment, a voice came from Qin Luoyun's room. It seemed that something was knocked over. Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised, because Qin Luoyun was usually very careful and cautious in doing things. It was unlikely that anything would be knocked over. However, it was not easy for Zhang Zhiwen to use his spiritual sense to check. After all, it was the female disciple's room. But after the sound came for a while, there was no movement. Zhang Zhiwen felt that something seemed to be wrong, because under normal circumstances, there would be movement, such as cleaning up the knocked over things, but it was quiet inside, without any movement. Zhang Zhiwen immediately released his spiritual sense without any hesitation, and he immediately saw the situation in the room. He saw that Qin Luoyun had fainted on the ground, motionless!
