The Path to Immortality

Put away the Xuanyuan Fruit.

Fang Ping turned and took out an ancient pill recipe [Yangmai Pill] that he had obtained a long time ago from his storage bag, and pondered!

Yangmai Pill can nourish the meridians and improve the strength of the meridians, which is undoubtedly of great benefit to cultivators.

Now that the necessary spiritual medicine Xuanyuan Fruit is in hand, if possible, Fang Ping must want to refine Yangmai Pill as soon as possible.

But the biggest reason why he was able to buy this ancient pill recipe at a very low price is that with the changes in the world, some spiritual medicines are almost extinct, and this pill recipe has become a waste recipe that cannot be refined.

Unless, after countless attempts, its pharmacology and medicinal properties are modified, and a new pill recipe is redesigned on the original basis.

However, this is so difficult!

If it is a modification of the basic pill recipe, with Fang Ping's current attainments in the way of pills, plus the help of Yuan Ding, he can try it.

But Yangmai Pill is a real first-level spiritual pill, and the pill theory of the ancient pill recipe is very different from the current one.

It is not impossible to modify it. After all, Yuan Ding allows Fang Ping to have unlimited trial and error costs. However, it is likely to take up a lot of his time and energy.

What is even more terrible is that this kind of modification is not like refining a new elixir, which has a clear progress. If you go back a few times, you can roughly know how long it will take to fully master it.

It is more like an uncertain gamble. It is very likely that after trying hundreds or even thousands of times, you still don’t know how long it will take to succeed next time.

"Forget it, I should still focus on cultivation at the moment. After all, building the foundation is the top priority at the moment. After building the foundation, I will have more time and try to modify this ancient elixir recipe."

Fang Ping made a decision in his heart.

………

At the same time.

Outside Luoyuefang, the cultivator who sold Xuanyuan Fruit before was waiting leisurely and slowly flying around the market.

However, after waiting for half a day, he still didn’t see anyone chasing out of the market.

Instead, several casual cultivators who met along the way seemed to be eager to make a move on him, a lone cultivator. However, this place is not far enough from Luoyuefang. After hesitating, they didn't dare to do it in the end.

"Didn't you take the bait?"

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Taoist Liu sighed with a half-smile.

Was it because he acted too much and was seen through?

Or was the owner of Luoyun Dan Pavilion really of high character and not moved by spiritual stones?

"Forget it, let's try a few more shops tomorrow. I don't believe that all the people in Luoyuefang are gentlemen!"

He touched his chin, with a malicious look on his face.

………

Six or seven days later.

A shocking news spread throughout Luoyuefang.

Several managers and shopkeepers who had been operating in the market for many years and had a good reputation disappeared one after another for unknown reasons.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the monks on the island didn't care about the first few incidents.

Until the owner of [Qing Fu Zhai] was killed by an unknown cultivator outside the market, the process happened to be witnessed by a passing cultivator, who saw the magic weapon used by the unknown cultivator - a crane that could summon a Qi training late stage cultivator from a painting to help in the battle!

After the news came back, the cultivators in Luoyuefang figured out the truth.

The "unknown" cultivator, who called himself Taoist Liu, was probably a well-known casual cultivator active in the central part of Liang State and the territory of Qingxu Sect.

His name was Taoist Baihe, and his strength had reached the realm of perfect Qi training.

In order to raise resources for foundation building, he turned into a robber cultivator and plundered.

Because he committed many major crimes in succession, he was wanted by Qingxu Sect, and even attracted the pursuit of foundation building cultivators. He couldn't survive anymore, so he went south from the territory of Qingxu Sect and fled to Luoyue Valley.

Taoist Bai Lu, whose strength was far from enough to rob Luoyuefang, chose to lure out some wealthy monks on the island and kill them one by one.

In fact, if this person had not been unlucky and was discovered by a passing monk when killing people, there might be far more monks killed than these few people!

As the news spread, the monks in the entire Luoyue Valley were alarmed.

For a time, the number of monks who came to Luoyuefang to do business decreased significantly. After all, everyone was worried that they would become the next target of the Qi-cultivating Perfection Tribulation Cultivator.

Even the Ji family, Zhao family, and Shi family who were in charge of Luoyuefang were alarmed by this incident.

As a last resort, they jointly dispatched law enforcement teams to strengthen patrols in the market and maintain order in Luoyue Lake.

Even so, the market of Luoyuefang was still much colder. It might not recover in a few months.

"He actually showed off his wealth on purpose!"

Fang Ping, who was trying to reach the ninth level of Qi training with all his strength, was oblivious to the outside world. He didn't know about this until the incident became a hot topic. He felt a little relieved.

The Taoist Bai Lu had entered the perfect Qi training realm a few years ago and had escaped from the pursuit of the foundation-building cultivator.

Although Fang Ping was not afraid of the other party, he could not guarantee that he had no trump cards.

If he was really greedy, he might get into trouble.

………

Three days later.

It was pouring outside Luoyuefang.

On the second floor of Luoyun Dan Pavilion, Fang Ping, who was practicing with his eyes closed, had no time to sense the changes in the celestial phenomena outside.

With the help of the two major elixirs, Yangji Dan and Peiyuan Dan, he tried his best to promote the operation of Ziyang Zhenjing and strive for a higher realm.

After more than ten cycles, the pure Ziyang Zhenjing mana attacked the invisible bottleneck one after another.

In just a cup of tea, Ziyang Zhenjing suddenly broke through the barrier.

At that moment, Fang Ping's aura began to rise sharply.

A large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged towards Fang Ping, causing his mana to surge.

After a while, Fang Ping's aura gradually stabilized and stopped at the ninth level of Qi training.

Compared with the eighth level of Qi training, his mana has only increased by about 30% to 40%. But because the original base is already very large, the total amount of mana that has increased is actually quite amazing.

At this moment, if Fang Ping faces a cultivator who has just entered the late stage of Qi training, he will be completely crushed!

Feeling the changes in his body, Fang Ping was a little excited.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking through the restrictions of Luoyun Dan Pavilion at Luoyuefang shrouded in rain in the distance.

"In a trance, I have been in this world for twenty years. Finally, at the age of forty, I have successfully promoted to the ninth level of Qi training!"

There is only one small realm left to build the foundation.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the situation before the crossing, and many scenes have become blurred. It seems that the experience before the crossing was just a dream, and he has been a resident of this world from the beginning.

After a while, he put away his emotion.

"To celebrate today's breakthrough, let's take a break from the busy life for half a day."

Getting up and brewing a pot of Kongming Spiritual Tea for himself, Fang Ping moved a recliner and sat in front of the window facing the street. While listening to the sound of rain outside, he slowly drank the spiritual tea and enjoyed a long-lost leisure.

Kongming Spiritual Tea tastes great. Drinking alone in the rain, before he knew it, the sky outside had darkened.
