Time passed little by little, and one year passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming's cave has not been opened since it was closed, and a layer of dust has fallen on the door.
Two years have passed, and there is still no sign that the secret room where Yuan Ming was in seclusion has been opened.
Three years...
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
On this day, Huazhi, King Kong, and Lei Yu were sitting at the door of the secret room, guarding the door of the secret room in a "pin" shape, all looking a little bored.
For five years, except for Zuo Qinghui, who came and went in and out of the cave from time to time, there was almost no news about Yuan Ming. They were worried that the sound transmission would interfere with Yuan Ming's elixir formation, and they did not dare to ask about the situation inside.
Huazhi was active by nature, stretched out and was about to get up.
boom!
There was a strong wind near Yuan Ming's cave, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged up, pouring crazily towards the cave to form a whirlpool of spiritual energy several miles in size, whirling and circling.
The three Huazhi beasts were also wrapped in this sudden whirlpool of spiritual energy. The vortex was so powerful that the bodies of the three beasts were swept up.
"Ah, what's going on?" Huazhi's hands turned into vines, taking root into the stone wall behind him to stabilize his body.
"It seems that the master has succeeded." King Kong's inner breath surged, resolving the sweep of the spiritual energy whirlpool, and his body fell steadily to the ground, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
Thunder light burst out from the surface of Leiyu's body, tearing apart the spiritual energy vortex with the coercive force, and his eyes showed a bit of joy.
Such astonishing visions around Yuan Ming Cave Mansion naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of the monks in Lingfeng City.
"This vision? Someone is about to form an elixir!"
Seeing this situation, many monks on the lower and middle floors flew out one after another, looking at the vision in mid-air with extremely envious expressions on their faces.
The monks in the alchemy stage who lived in the upper area claimed their identity and basically did not show up. However, such amazing spiritual energy fluctuations could not be hidden from them. A stream of powerful spiritual consciousness went towards the cave where Yuan Ming lived, but they were rudely attacked by the Five Elements Disillusionment Array.
Isolated outside.
In the Lingfeng Hall, several pill-forming monks from the Lingfu Sect also looked over, with different expressions.
"Someone has formed an elixir again. Counting this, this is the fourth time in a hundred years." A young woman in a green shirt said happily.
"The sect master's decision to relax the management of Lingfeng City is indeed a wise one. Many of the casual cultivators who lacked a place to form alchemy came to Lingfeng City, and nearly half of them became guest elders of the Lingfu Sect. This greatly increased the strength of the sect. You all have
You have merit." A middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance nodded and smiled.
This person has the highest level of cultivation and has reached the late stage of pill formation. He seems to be the leader of several monks in the pill formation stage.
"It's because Elder Wen handles things well that so many people are willing to join our sect." Another monk in the alchemy stage said with a smile, but it was the bald old man who handled the lease for Yuan Ming.
"You don't have to be modest. I will try my best to get some of the sect rewards at the end of the year for you. Now another Taoist friend in the Dan-formation stage has been born. Let's check which cave it is first and send someone to contact him later. Let's see.
See if he is willing to join our sect." said the middle-aged scholar.
"Looking at the location of the spiritual energy vortex, it should be Cave No. 12. It turns out to be that person." The bald old man said.
"Elder Pi, do you know the people who live there?" the middle-aged scholar looked over.
"Well, I handled this person's lease. Unexpectedly, it took only five years for this person to successfully form an elixir. It is the fastest form of elixir in the past hundred years." said the old man surnamed Pi.
"In that case, then go over and invite this person." said the middle-aged scholar.
"Okay." The old man named Pi nodded.
…
The huge whirlpool of spiritual energy lasted for a quarter of an hour, bursting open and forming a brilliant five-color glow. It took a few breaths to completely dissipate.
In the secret room of the cave, Yuan Ming slowly stood up from the ground, his face covered with stubble and unkempt, looking like a beggar.
But his whole aura was completely different. His eyes shot out with frightening light, and his movements emitted waves of substantial mana, which caused the restrictions around the cave to flicker.
"Three times...I finally formed the elixir." Yuan Ming looked at his hands and was overjoyed.
Although he had prepared a variety of auxiliary means to form the pill this time, including soul pills and elixir-cleansing liquid, his spiritual root qualifications were too low and the process was very difficult.
Ended in failure.
And every failure not only puts a huge load on the body and takes a long time to recover, but is also a severe blow to his self-confidence.
Especially the second failure almost made him doubt whether he could successfully attack the pill formation with his own qualifications. After all, the monks in the pill formation stage are already rare in the world of immortality. I am afraid that a hundred foundation-building monks will finally be able to succeed.
There may not be anyone who can cultivate to the peak of the late stage of foundation building and successfully condense the golden elixir.
The monks who can reach the peak of the later stage of foundation building not only have better qualifications than themselves, but also have their own opportunities. It is obviously very difficult for them to succeed.
Fortunately, Yuan Ming had experienced the hardships of southern Xinjiang and had a strong character. After experiencing a period of self-doubt, he quickly adjusted his emotions, adjusted all aspects of his body to the best condition, and practiced Hidden Vein Condensation Pill again.
Jue, accumulated enough mana, and started the third attack.
With the experience of the first two attacks, the third effort was finally not in vain. The magic power in his Dantian finally merged with yin and yang to condense into a golden elixir.
The golden elixir flashes with five colors of light: gold, green, blue, red, and black. The first four auras are the manifestation of his four spiritual roots, and the last black light represents the Yin attribute.
Yuan Ming used the secret technique of soul pill when attacking the pill formation. After forming the pill, the mission of the soul pill has been completed, and it returned to the sea of consciousness together with the main soul.
However, during the process of elixir formation, a considerable part of the soul power was absorbed by the golden elixir, and this was how the fifth spiritual light was derived.
There is no record of this situation in Xi Cangqiong's jade slips, and Yuan Ming doesn't know whether it is good or bad.
After advancing to the elixir-forming stage, in addition to condensing the golden elixir, the mana in his dantian also underwent earth-shaking changes, condensing several times, and becoming extremely pure.
Now he can condense the elixir fire in his body, using it to cultivate the talisman array and refine the magic weapon.
After the excitement, Yuan Ming quickly calmed down, tidied up his appearance first, and then sat down cross-legged again, running the Nine Elements Technique to stabilize the turbulent magic power.
After seven days and seven nights, the magic power in his body completely calmed down.
Yuan Ming circulated the powerful magic power in his body, and a smile appeared on his lips.
After breaking through the pill formation stage, his lifespan increased to five to six hundred years. He no longer had to worry about his lack of lifespan as before. He could calm down and do the things he liked while practicing.
More importantly, after breaking through the core formation stage, it means that Yuan Ming finally has a certain say in the world of immortal cultivation, and his strength has greatly increased. Coupled with the soul cultivation magical power of the fifth level of Ming Yue Jue, he is no longer the same as before.
A small role to play.
Whether it is the Guiyuan Sect, the Five Thunder Sect, or even the threat of Changchun Temple, he has a certain degree of confidence to resist it. He will not be overwhelmed like before when the other party randomly sends a monk in the Danjie stage.
Get angry.
Yuan Ming calmed down and planned his next plan.
His cultivation had just broken through the elixir formation stage, and the magic weapon had not yet been refined, so he was at a disadvantage in a battle with monks of the same level. The most important thing at the moment was to refine a natal magic weapon.
Regarding the magic weapon of his destiny, Yuan Ming had already thought about it, so he turned his hand and pulled out a black sword, which was the Soul-Destroying Sword.
The main material used in the Soul-Destroying Sword is Nine Netherworld Iron, which has extremely high potential. It fits perfectly with his soul-cultivating magical power and does not conflict with the Nine-Yuan Art. It is very suitable for refining this life-giving magic weapon.
It's just that there are only four runes in the Soul-Destroying Sword, and one more needs to be added to form a rune array and then be upgraded into a magic weapon.
Yuan Ming has not yet decided which one to choose for this last rune.
You need to be careful when refining your natal magic weapon, because once it is completed, it cannot be changed. You need to think about all the details and not be careless in the slightest.
Moreover, Yuan Ming's weapon refining skills are still somewhat lacking. Although he has been able to refine high-grade magical weapons, he is not sure about adding the last rune to the Soul-Destroying Sword. He has not met a weapon refiner he trusts enough to complete this task for him.
step.
"Forget it, think about it later. Anyway, I have other magic weapons in my hand." Yuan Ming turned over his hands and took out three magic weapons, namely Zuo Qinghui's Golden Sun Ruler, Elder Hai's white bone knife, and Elder Guo's magic weapon.
A small bronze tripod.
The Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear was with King Kong. This gun could greatly enhance King Kong's combat power, but he did not take it back.
Yuan Ming picked up the Golden Sun Ruler, opened his mouth and sprayed out a ball of green flames to wrap it up, and started to practice it with his hands.
As a result, a golden light rose from the Golden Sun Ruler, blocking the penetration of magic power.
However, Yuan Ming's cultivation had reached the elixir-forming stage, and his mana had also undergone a qualitative change. With the operation of the magic formula, he soon broke through the golden light barrier, penetrated into the interior of the Jinyang Ruler, and came into contact with the core talisman array of the Jinyang Ruler.
Five golden runes are connected in series to form an existence similar to a magic circle.
"Rule array?" This was Yuan Ming's first time actually coming into contact with the talisman array inside the magic weapon.
The five runes of the golden rune array are superimposed on each other, making them extremely stable.
The power of the five runes has also been increased by the rune array, and the power has increased several times. It is not comparable to the magic weapon. No wonder the magic weapon is vulnerable to the magic weapon.
Yuan Ming briefly sensed that the five runes on the Golden Sun Ruler were all armor-breaking, sharp and other runes. There was only one rune he didn't recognize.
This rune is a bit special, it looks like two runes superimposed on each other.
Yuan Ming recalled that when Zuo Qinghui used the Golden Sun Ruler, he had transformed into multiple ruler shadows. Those ruler shadows were not afterimages, but had considerable power. They should be the effect of this rune.
He poured his mana into the talisman array, refining it quickly, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the talisman array.
After each magic weapon is sacrificed, a soul mark will be left in the talisman array. After other people obtain it, they can only master this magic weapon by completely removing the mark from the talisman array.
Yuan Ming's power of divine consciousness quickly touched the core of the talisman array, and saw a dim soul mark suspended there.
He activated his spiritual consciousness, wrapped the divine soul brand, and tried to drive it away.
The Soul Brand is located deep in the talisman formation. Although Yuan Ming's power of divine consciousness is powerful, it cannot be used and the efficiency is very slow.
At the current rate, it will take at least several months to completely eliminate it.
