The Path to Becoming Immortal

After a while, his whole body was completely renewed, and his cultivation had reached the late third level of the foundation building stage.

At this moment, the soul power in the sea of ​​consciousness has changed from a small pool to a small lake, and it has increased several times due to this opportunity.

Ning Ping once again cast his gaze on the stone tripod beside him. Although the appearance did not seem to have changed much, upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was an inexplicable charm wrapped around it.

"Don't say anything. I'll pass it on to you. This is my unique refining technique. See for yourself."

As if he was afraid that Ning Ping would continue to entangle him, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Ning Ping's mind.

"Hehe~" Ning Ping snickered, and when his consciousness scanned it, it was a technique for refining artifacts, and he began to understand it.

Not long after, Ning Ping was seen dancing with his hands, condensing runes out of thin air, and then printed them on the stone tripod.

After nearly half an hour, Ning Ping finally bit the tip of his tongue and forced out a drop of blood, then spit it out on the stone tripod.

As soon as the essence and blood came into contact with the stone tripod, it was instantly integrated into it, and then Ning Ping had an inexplicable connection with the stone tripod in his heart.

Ning Ping's eyes were focused, and with a thought in his mind, the stone tripod suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in his sea of ​​consciousness.

‘Hey, doesn’t the magic weapon appear in the Dantian after being refined? How come you are in the sea of ​​consciousness? ’ In doubt, he thought about the extraordinary nature of the Tianyan Cauldron, and stopped worrying about it.

"How about it? Let me keep my word." At this moment, the voice of Shenying Tianhu came directly from the sea of ​​consciousness, which shocked Ning Ping.

At this time, Ning Ping's soul body appeared in an instant, and he stared blankly at the Tianyan Cauldron floating in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Don't worry, I won't even think about taking away your body." Shenying Tianhu also appeared and looked at Ning Ping's soul body with a look of contempt.

But he thought to himself: Huh, I'm still afraid that you will swallow me.

"Haha, Mr. Hu is joking." Ning Ping laughed sarcastically, and then came to the stone cauldron with a thought.

At this time, densely packed words appeared on the stone walls surrounding the inner space of the stone tripod, but Ning Ping did not recognize these words.

Before Ning Ping could speak, a piece of information suddenly came into Ning Ping's mind. Then Ning Ping found strangely that the words he didn't recognize just now became extremely familiar.

The word Tianyan comes into view.

Just as Ning Ping was filled with joy, suddenly there was a faint shout from outside.

"Which fellow Taoist is here, please come out and see me."

As soon as Ning Ping heard this, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​reading any more. His consciousness suddenly swept away and he saw a monk at the peak of his Qi refining stage outside staring at his temporary cave with burning eyes.

At this time, I saw a huge stone being pushed away, and a monk in green robes came out, with a faint smile on his face, looking extremely ordinary.

"Fellow Taoist, what advice do you have?" Ning Ping looked at him with a half-smile.

At this moment, the monk was removed due to the restriction, and he could see the entire cave in one glance. The cultivation level of the person in front of him was also clearly visible in his eyes. He was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

"Oh, I noticed something unusual here just now from Xia Laoyuan. I don't know why? Does fellow Taoist know?"

While speaking, the monk quietly looked around again with his peripheral vision.

"Oh? I've been here all this time and haven't noticed anything unusual. Fellow Taoist, I saw it wrong."

Of course, Ning Ping knew that the noise caused by his breakthrough in the foundation building just now was quite big.

"It seems that I may have made a mistake." The monk said, but he had no intention of leaving.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Ning Ping was too lazy to continue to entangle with the other party, and turned around to leave.

But just as he turned around and walked a few steps, there was a slight sound of breaking through the air behind him, and a flying sword was thrust straight into the back of his heart.

Ning Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, paying no attention to the flying sword behind him.

"Tsk~" Feijian immediately came to the back of Ning Ping, but when he was a foot closer to his body, Feijian seemed to have fallen into a quagmire and slowed down.

Finally, it stopped completely just a few inches away from Ning Ping's body.

Ning Ping smiled with satisfaction at the effect of his Dongxu Shield, and then an invisible wave came out and he pounced.

At the same time, his spiritual consciousness has also penetrated deeply into the killing order, which has formed his own instinct.

"Remember from now on, never let the soul leave the body easily." On the way back, Mr. Hu's voice sounded in his mind, and his tone was quite serious.

Not to mention, now that the Tianyan Cauldron has been refined, the communication between the two has become much more convenient.

"Oh? Is it dangerous for the soul to leave the body?" Ning Ping looked surprised. This was his biggest reliance along the way.

"Well, the soul is the origin of human beings. Unless you have to, don't leave the body easily. You probably haven't met any powerful people before."

"Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss if you meet a monk who has soul attack skills. Especially with your mysterious soul body, you have to be careful. If you fall into the eyes of someone who is interested, you will probably try your best to get it."

Ning Ping was shocked when he heard this. This was something he had never thought of before.

"Then what did they use it for?"

"Hmph, what else can you do? Seize a body, refine a soul puppet, become an incarnation, a clone, or even make an elixir. I didn't expect you to show off so hard."

At this time, Ning Ping was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and even slowed down his steps involuntarily.

The scene of the black-clothed foundation-building cultivator encountered in the Spiritual Medicine Valley came back to his mind. If the other party had some means of soul attack at that time, and he could not use the Soul Devouring Technique on him, the result would be...

"Remember, there are many geniuses or people with high talents in this world. Often, how far a person can go in the end is the most important."

"And if you want to go far, the most important thing is to be cautious and try every means to turn everything of others into your own."

"This is also called fighting for luck. Only in this way can you survive in this world of cultivation."

Hu Lao's slightly hoarse voice slowly and earnestly guided him.

"Well, I remember it, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"It's good to know. The Devouring Technique you just used is also good, but you must remember it in the future. Don't be greedy and don't lose the big picture because of the small."

"There are many ways to improve the Yuanshen. When your cultivation level is high in the future, I will take you to a few places, just in time to use your Devouring Technique."

"Yeah, I know." Ning Ping was sweating coldly after hearing the admonition, and nodded repeatedly in response.

Out of habit, Ning Ping now calls this soul the Yuanshen, just like Old Hu.

It took several days to break through the realm. After careful calculation, the day after tomorrow will be the day for the alchemist assessment. Ning Ping also quickened his pace and flew to Guangming City.

The study room on the top floor of the Merchant Alliance.

Gu Qing was sitting in the specially made wide chair, his face was unusually serious, holding a jade slip in his hand and thinking non-stop.

"According to what you said, this guy is really not simple. Is the source of the information reliable?" Finally, Gu Qing put down the jade slip and asked Gu Xiao opposite.

"It was sent by the insider of the City Lord's Mansion, so it should be reliable. This is not a very strict information."
