Chapter 73 Late stage of forming the pill
One day two months later.
In the early morning, the scorching sun is in the sky.
The breeze blew away the morning mist, and the Yunping Mountains were exposed to the sun, and a wave of dry and hot air appeared in the void. This was the time when the vitality of heaven and earth was the most intense in the day. Many disciples of the Zhong family were sitting cross-legged in the yard outside their respective residences, or on nearby mountains, breathing in and cultivating qi and practicing the exercises.
Just three days ago, the Zhong family held a grand ceremony, which not only awarded six disciples who had recently succeeded in making pills as elders of the Zhong family, but also rewarded a large number of cultivation resources.
As the backbone of the clan, the Zhong family's Jindan stage elders have a remarkable status. They can not only enjoy a considerable amount of regular resources, but also hold some positions in the clan and have great power, even the treatment of common disciples.
As a result, the condensed golden elixir became the Jindan cultivator, and almost all the common disciples worked tirelessly for it.
This ceremony greatly boosted all the common disciples in the clan's clan's spirit, and the inner desire for cultivation and advancement became stronger, and the atmosphere of cultivation became stronger. Of course, if it weren't for the birth of the Nightmare Palace this time, these disciples had obtained a batch of Taiyi Pills, and the chance of condensed golden Pills would still be pitifully low.
At this time, the mountains where the Zhong family’s retreat area was located were quiet.
On the belly of the mountain, in front of two stone doors that look quite majestic, a pair of unknown monster stone carvings squatted in front of them. One of them had an eagle-headed tiger body with wings on the back, and the other one was about three feet tall, with a ox-headed and a human body, holding a giant axe in his hand, and a black plaque above the stone door was embedded in the rock, with three simple characters "Juding Hall" written on it.
Inside the stone gate is a cave space of twenty or thirty feet in size. There is an old man in gray-haired purple robe sitting cross-legged on the cushion, closing his eyes to rest.
A rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the passage deep in the cave, and then a young man in a blue shirt walked out slowly.
The old man with his eyes closed heard the movement, opened his eyes and glanced at the direction of the passage. When he saw the young man in green clothes coming out, he was slightly stunned, then took out a jade slip and pasted it on his forehead, and slowly said, "Zhong Chen, you have rented it for a year this time. If you leave the seclusion early, the remaining spiritual jade will be..."
The old man was halfway through his speech, and then he said in a shocked expression: "You... have you formed a golden elixir?"
"Elder Dayan, I have indeed achieved the golden elixir." Zhong Chen smiled slightly and said so.
"Why are there no strange phenomena in heaven and earth? Could it be that time a few months ago... it was you?" The old man in purple robe looked at Zhong Chen and suddenly slapped his head and said.
"Yes, after forming the golden elixir, I found that the realm was unstable, and there was still a lot of time to rent it, so I continued to practice in the secret room for a while." Zhong Chen nodded and said.
"Okay, okay! Go back and rest first. I will report this matter. I believe that the head of the family will grant you the position of elder soon." The old man in purple robe slowed down and smiled, his voice extremely polite.
"Then Elder Dayan is here to be free, I will say goodbye to you." Zhong Chen clasped his fists at the other party and walked straight out of the gate of the retreat area.
After a while, Zhong Chen stood at the door, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, his eyes narrowed with discomfort, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, he had already condensed the golden elixir in one fell swoop a few months ago and officially became a Jindan cultivator. With the three-turn Taiyi elixir and many other thorough preparations, he had almost no obstacles in practicing the Biwa Power. The whole process was natural.
The golden elixir he formed is still an extremely rare top-grade golden elixir, which means that he will have the possibility of forming a Nascent Soul in the future and making his cultivation level higher.
The reason why he did not leave the seclusion immediately was because the three-turn Taiyi Pill not only had a unique medicinal effect, but the spiritual power contained in it was too strong, so after he condensed the golden elixir, a large amount of spiritual power was still accumulated in his dantian in his body, and it continued to move into the meridians of the limbs, forcing him to continue practicing.
As a result, I found that I could not stop at all in this practice. With the assistance of the remaining spiritual power of the elixir, his cultivation level rose like a high level. First, it was the peak of the early stage of the Golden Pill, then the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Pill, and even to the late stage of the current elixir, it was only barely stopped.
During the entire cultivation process, I don’t know if it is related to the three-turn Taiyi Pill, so it was almost done in one go without encountering any bottlenecks. This naturally made him overjoyed!
You should know that it is very normal to practice after forming a pill. It takes ten years or even decades to improve every small realm, especially if you practice Bibo Gong.
Among the hundreds of Jindan monks in the Zhong family, 80% of them are in the early stage. It is not uncommon for those who stay in the early stage and have not made any progress for many years, which is enough to illustrate this matter. I can get this strange fate and break through to the late stage of Jindan, and my life span will break through to hundreds of years in one fell swoop. The future path of cultivation will naturally be smoother.
However, if others know about such a fast cultivation speed, it will inevitably cause a stir, and even be investigated by those who are interested in the root cause, which is very bad.
So he was worried and deliberately restrained his breath and concealed his cultivation. If the cultivator whose cultivation was far higher than that deliberately used his spiritual sense to check, he would never find any clues.
At this moment, in his dantian, a golden bead the size of a thumb rotated slightly in the spiritual sea, with golden light turning on the surface. While breathing, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to gather from all directions into his body, as if he had endless power.
"Since the golden elixir is successful, it's time to mention that matter to him next." Zhong Chen took a deep breath and murmured to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, his feet were filled with light, and his whole body turned into a blue escape light and headed towards the highest mountain.
"Uncle Qing, do you know when his father will come back?" Zhong Chen stood in front of the side hall and asked in a deep voice.
"Young Master Chen, the clan leader is anxious to go out because of an urgent matter within the clan. I am not very clear about when I will return. However, when Young Master Chen can form a golden elixir as he wishes, the clan leader will definitely be very pleased to know." Uncle Qing looked at Zhong Chen and said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, I'll come back another day, I'll say goodbye." Zhong Chen bowed to Uncle Qing and turned around and left.
Uncle Qing looked at Zhong Chen's distant figure and his body remained motionless. After a while, he shook his head slightly, turned around and walked into the side hall.
...
In some unknown secret realm, there was a white mist everywhere, making all the scenery around it look a little hazy.
At this time, a strong man in a gray short shirt was carrying a black spear in one hand, walking slowly in the white mist that could not be seen.
The man was in his early twenties, with his arms and muscles exposed outside. He had a black boxing glove on his hand without a gun. Every step he took seemed to have a thousand pounds of strength. He gave people an extremely tough and good at fighting. It was Zhong Daotian, the legitimate son of the Zhong family.
Compared with more than a year ago, Zhong Daotian's expression now became more and more cold. From his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry in his heart at this moment.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped, raised the black spear in his hand like lightning, stabbing somewhere, causing the surrounding fog to roll.
The tip of the spear blurred and immediately sank into the void. In another void more than ten feet away, the black spear tip emerged.
With a loud "bang", the void cracked open like glass, and then collapsed and disappeared.
A black shadow flashed, and then a voice sounded: "Oh, Brother Daotian, don't do it, I quit, quit."
While speaking, a figure staggered out of the void, and the black spear also stayed less than three inches in front of his eyebrows, causing him to tremble.
This is a young man with a square face who looks over 20 years old. He is holding a magic weapon that looks like a dagger in one hand and a small round shield covered with cracks in the other hand.
As soon as he appeared, he took a jade talisman from his waist without saying a word and crushed it. Suddenly, a roll of white light flew out of it, and the figure disappeared in its original place.
"Everyone comes out, why bother hiding! Do you want me to show up for you?" Zhong Daotian suddenly shouted as he watched the other party disappear in front of him.
"Hehe, Zhong Daotian, your spiritual consciousness fruit is very comparable. It seems that I have discovered my whereabouts very early." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a black brocade robe, who looked in his thirties, walked out of the fog that was rolling like a cloud waving the sun.
At the same time, behind Zhong Daotian and on both sides, there was a fog rolling in each other and each walked out.
