Seeking the Way of Immortality

Wu Zheng was also seriously injured when he killed three people. He was already at the end of his strength to kill Xue Moyang at this time. Dugu Yan obviously saw that Wu Zheng was not right.

At this time, without waiting for Wu Xue to remove the illusion array, the two supported each other and took Wu Xue away from the place where they had just fought. After all, even if there was Wu Xue's illusion array blocking, there was no guarantee that there would be no array master who could see through the illusion array.

In a cave, Dugu Yan and Wu Zheng sat opposite each other. At this time, the injuries of the two had basically stabilized.

"Wu Zheng, why did you come here?" Dugu Yan asked puzzledly.

Wu Zheng pointed to the towering tree in front and said, "This is the biggest opportunity in the entire Muling Land."

"So that's it." Dugu Yan suddenly realized. She was still wondering why Wu Zheng appeared here so coincidentally!

"Well, you can absorb the spiritual energy of the Muling Jedi?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes! What's the matter?" Wu Zheng nodded and asked.

"Oh, nothing, just a little surprised." Dugu Yan explained. After all, it is not good to ask such a question rashly. After all, everyone has their own secrets.

"Wu Zheng, how many lines are there on your golden elixir?" Dugu Yan suddenly asked.

"What lines?" Wu Zheng said puzzledly.

"Why, there are no lines on your golden elixir?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

"No! What do you mean?" Wu Zheng was confused.

"Hey, I really don't know how you got all your strength." Dugu Yan shook her head.

"Please ask fellow Taoist Dugu to help me solve my doubts." Wu Zheng turned and looked at Dugu Yan.

"When cultivators practice and advance to the golden elixir stage, there is a saying called the golden elixir is divided into five grades, namely low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Low-grade golden elixir has one line, middle-grade golden elixir has two lines, high-grade golden elixir has three lines, and top-grade golden elixir has four lines." Dugu Yan explained.

"Well, why are there four kinds? Didn't you say it was five kinds?" Wu Zheng asked.

"There is another kind of golden elixir without lines, called 'Wuji Golden Elixir'. As far as I know, no cultivator has condensed 'Wuji Golden Elixir' in the past thousand years." Dugu Yan let out a deep breath.

"Do you mean that my golden elixir is 'Wuji Golden Elixir'?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise.

"Well, that's right. How can an existence that can trigger the nine-nine thunder tribulations condense an ordinary golden elixir?" Dugu Yan said helplessly.

"What's the story behind these five kinds of golden elixirs?" Wu Zheng asked again.

"If the inferior golden elixir does not have a chance to defy the heavens, it will never be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in life. The probability of the middle-grade golden elixir advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is 50%, and the probability of the upper-grade golden elixir is 80%. If the top-grade golden elixir does not die prematurely, it is a foregone conclusion that it will advance to the golden elixir. The 'Wuji Golden Elixir' is not the end of the transformation into a spirit." Dugu Yan sighed and said.

"So, what grade is your golden elixir?" Wu Zheng asked.

"Top-grade golden elixir." Dugu Yan replied.

"Oh, is there no elixir that can improve the grade of the golden elixir?" Wu Zheng said.

"With the profound alchemy skills in the cultivation world, of course there is, but improving the quality of the golden elixir is almost against the will of heaven. The elixir required is only the quality of the peak of the third level, which can barely be ranked fourth level, called 'Shenglong Pill', but even the third-level elixir cannot be refined." Dugu Yan said bitterly.

Even if her golden elixir is of the best quality, it is not certain whether it can be promoted to the God of Transformation. Whether she can complete the great task of the Dugu family in the future is really another matter.

"Oh, why is this? Is there no elixir formula?" Wu Zheng continued.

"No, on the contrary, almost every golden elixir cultivator knows the elixir formula of 'Shenglong Pill'." Dugu Yan said.

"Why is this? Why don't I know it?" Wu Zheng was confused by Dugu Yan's words.

"You don't know because you rarely come into contact with anyone. You don't even know the golden elixir quality, and you still have the nerve to say it." Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Wu Zheng touched his nose awkwardly.

"No reason, because there is a medicinal ingredient on the recipe of the 'Shenglong Pill', called 'Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Grass', which is ranked fifth. Although there are many 'Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Grass' in the world, there are almost no fifth-grade ones. Even if there are, no one will use them to refine the 'Shenglong Pill'." Dugu Yan said immediately.

Wu Zheng understood that those with lower-grade golden pills are generally casual cultivators. Even if there are two playboys, no one would be willing to spend a lot of effort to find the fifth-grade 'Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Grass'.

"Oh, tell me the recipe of the 'Shenglong Pill' and I will give you the 'Shenglong Pill', how about it?" Wu Zheng said with a smile. It happened that he had a 'Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Grass' and he also had the strength of a third-grade alchemist.

"Okay!" Dugu Yan smiled and then engraved the recipe of the 'Shenglong Pill' on a blank jade slip and handed it to Wu Zheng. As for Wu Zheng's suggestion of giving her a 'Shenglong Pill', she didn't take it seriously at all.

As soon as Wu Zheng saw Dugu Yan's expression, he immediately understood Dugu Yan's thoughts and thought: "Well! I'll give you a surprise when the time comes!"

The reason why Wu Zheng wanted the recipe of the 'Shenglong Pill' was because he knew that Liu Qian and Yin Mengyao's golden pills were at most top-grade golden pills, so he wanted to improve the quality of their golden pills.

What made Wu Zheng happy was that he had all the herbs on the 'Shenglong Pill' recipe, so he could start refining the pill at any time.

It’s really strange. Liu Qian and Yin Mengyao both knew about ‘Jindan’ and ‘Shenglongdan’. They thought Wu Zheng knew about it. It was very impolite to ask people about the quality of Jindan. Even if they were lovers, they thought Wu Zheng’s Jindan was at least of the best quality, so they didn’t ask.

Both of their Jindan were of the best quality, so there was no need to improve the quality. Besides, ‘Shenglongdan’ was not that easy to refine. They thought Wu Zheng’s Jindan was also of the best quality, so they didn’t ask. Little did they know that Wu Zheng didn’t know about ‘Jindan’ and ‘Shenglongdan’ at all.

If Dugu Yan hadn’t been unable to help asking today, Wu Zheng would probably still be in the dark! Even if he had ‘Purple Gold Dragon Pattern Grass’ on him, he didn’t know how to use it. At most, he could change the potential of Wu Bingyue and others so that they could advance their Yuanshen quickly like ‘Xue Jiao’.

“By the way, according to what you said, Jindan is of the best quality, so what about Yuanying?” Wu Zheng asked again.

"Are you quite smart? You figured it out so quickly." Dugu Yan smiled.

"Hehe, just tell me!" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"In the cultivation world, there is a saying, 'Golden elixir is graded, and Nascent Soul has Dao patterns'. Since Golden elixir can be graded, how can the Nascent Soul, which is of a higher level, not have a grade!" Dugu Yan's eyes showed yearning.

After a while, Dugu Yan came back to her senses: "Nascent Soul has Dao patterns?"

Wu Zheng heard it and immediately said: "No, I have killed many Nascent Soul cultivators, but I have never found Dao patterns?"

Wu Zheng was puzzled.

"Hehe, it would be strange if you could find it. Even if you are a Taoist couple, you may not know the Nascent Soul grade of each other." Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"Why is that?" Wu Zheng was confused.

"Listen to me and you will know." Dugu Yan said.

After listening to Dugu Yan's narration, Wu Zheng realized that the world of cultivation was really big, and he was really small. It was a miracle that he could get to where he is today without the guidance of a master, or it was all thanks to the magic of the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Art. Dugu Yan's words opened up another world for Wu Zheng.

The Jindan talks about the quality, and the Yuanying talks about the Dao pattern. The Dao pattern is illusory and generally only known by one person. Even if someone is given a soul by others, others cannot obtain any information about the Dao pattern. The so-called "Dao pattern", as the name suggests, is the veins of the Great Dao. Unless an individual actively shows it, it cannot be obtained even if it is three great realms higher than the other party.

It can be said that the "Dao pattern" is the most mysterious existence on a cultivator.

The Dao pattern condenses on the forehead of the Yuanying. Whether the Dao pattern is powerful or not depends entirely on the accumulation of the Jindan period and the perception of the Great Dao. The Yuanying is divided into five grades like the Jindan, but unlike the veins of the Jindan, the Yuanying has only one Dao pattern, but the color is different.

The first-grade Dao pattern is black iron, named "Black Iron Dao Pattern"; the second-grade Dao pattern is bronze, named "Bronze Dao Pattern"; the third-grade Dao pattern is silver-white, named "Silver Dao Pattern"; the fourth-grade Dao pattern is golden, named "Gold Dao Pattern"; the fifth-grade Dao pattern is purple jade, named "Purple Jade Dao Pattern", which is also the strongest Dao pattern.

The ancestor of the Dugu family, Dugu Qingcheng, was extremely talented, but he only had the "Fourth-grade Golden Dao Pattern".
