Chapter four hundred and seventy-seven: form the pill again!
After returning to Cangyuan Immortal City, Zhou Yang's life was very simple.
Because his cultivation could no longer be improved and his weapon refining skills had reached the fourth level, he spent most of his time studying the remaining advanced sword formations of the "Dayan Sword Art" and practicing the talisman making skills.
Sometimes he would take his Taoist companion Xiao Ying and his concubine Qin Yue'er out of Cangyuan Immortal City for a trip, or be invited to participate in some high-level monk exchange meetings, or help some high-level monks who came to refine the four
Level magic weapon.
During this period, Zhou Yang focused on one more thing, which was to test Qin Yue'er.
He didn't believe that Guo Jinhong gave Qin Yue'er to him as a concubine. It was really just to win over him and had no other purpose.
Neither of them are fools. Just the fact that Qin Yue'er was controlled by the "God Control Technique" means that Zhou Yang is destined to never truly believe her and treat her as a real pillow.
As a Nascent Soul monk who has lived for more than two thousand years, how could Guo Jinhong not even know this?
Therefore, Zhou Yang always firmly believed that the other party who gave Qin Yue'er to him as a concubine must have some sinister intention that he didn't know about.
It's a pity that no matter what means he used to test, openly test or secretly observe, he didn't find any abnormality from Qin Yue'er.
She was just like a concubine from a truly ordinary wealthy family. She obeyed all of Zhou Yang's obviously unreasonable orders without daring to resist at all, nor did she make any unusual moves.
All in all, all her actions were no different from those of a real humble concubine. Zhou Yang couldn't tell whether she was really trained by Qin Zhiyun to become a humble maid, or she was just pretending to be humiliated.
In fact, when Zhou Yang couldn't find any doubts about her, he would ruthlessly find a monk to practice dual cultivation with her to break her Yuan Yin idea, to see if she could continue to avoid revealing any flaws.
But he never dared to realize this idea.
This is not because he is reluctant to let other men ruin such a beautiful woman who belongs to him, but because his true heart does not allow him to use such evil means to achieve his goal.
Regardless of Guo Jinhong's intentions in sending Qin Yue'er to him, Qin Yue'er is an out-and-out pathetic person.
As a "victim", Zhou Yang could be on guard against Qin Yue'er and not sympathize with Qin Yue'er, but if Qin Yue'er showed no obvious malice, he really couldn't be so cruel if he was allowed to harm such a pitiful woman like this.
Furthermore, if he really does this, it is also a question of whether Qin Yue'er will cooperate, and his Taoist companion Xiao Ying will definitely be very disappointed with him when he finds out about it.
Therefore, Zhou Yang finally had no choice but to let go of testing Qin Yue'er and let her continue to stay by his side.
After five more years of this kind of life, Zhou Yang felt that there were no hidden dangers in his body, so he borrowed a fifth-level cave from Cangyuan Sanren and tried to retreat and form elixirs again.
This time, after his mana was purified by the "Three-Transformation Pure Yuan Dan", when he completed the first step of "dan condensation", it was much smoother than the first time.
After two years of seclusion, he successfully passed the "dan condensation" step and successfully condensed a real elixir without the help of any auxiliary elixir-forming treasures.
"Condensation of elixirs" was successful, so of course Zhou Yang would continue to try the second step of "combining elixirs".
When he followed the experience of the senior monks in forming elixirs, and his soul stepped from the Purple Mansion into the Lower Dantian and merged with the actual golden elixir, his mind sank, as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back.
He knew that this was because his soul had not yet merged with the golden elixir and was affected by the huge power contained in the golden elixir.
The step of "combining the elixir" means that he wants to merge the divine soul and the golden elixir into one body, and let his own divine soul imprint on the golden elixir. From then on, the divine soul and the golden elixir will never be separated.
Zhou Yang's powerful soul indeed makes this step much easier than ordinary monks of the same level.
According to what he knew from the experience of the senior monks in forming elixirs, when many monks went through this step for the first time, not long after their souls sank into the golden elixir, they were overwhelmed and had to voluntarily leave and return to the Zi Mansion, which led to
The essence of the elixir dissipating and forming the elixir failed.
However, it was his first time to experience this step, but he was able to make up his mind to carry out the "combination of elixirs" step.
But despite this, his "combination of elixirs" step was not completed in the end.
When he had completed about 40% of the entire "Elixir Combining" step, the pressure on Zhou Yang's soul reached its limit, and he could no longer support him to continue.
Therefore, like those senior monks who failed at this step, he had to take the initiative to withdraw his soul and return to the Zi Mansion, and then watched helplessly as the essence of the golden elixir he had worked so hard to condense cracked and spilled into countless liquid mana essence.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Zhou Yang's mouth, leaving a pool of bright red blood on the ground.
This time the elixir formation failed, the impact on his Dantian was different from the last time. Now he only felt like there were countless knives cutting inside his Dantian. The pain made his whole body twitch, and beads of sweat as big as beans fell down his cheeks.
beads.
There is no way to relieve this kind of pain, you can only rely on your own willpower to get through it.
After sustaining this for three full days and nights, Zhou Yang felt much better. Only then did he dare to take out some healing elixirs, take them, and force himself to do exercises and meditate to heal his injuries.
After three years of keeping warm and recuperating like this, Zhou Yang finally controlled the injuries in his dantian and was able to use some of his magic power.
With the ability to use his magic power and the ability to protect himself, Zhou Yang did not continue to stay in this fifth-level cave. Instead, he returned the cave and quietly went to the Chiyuan Villa to recuperate.
Of course, he asked Cangyuan Sanren to conceal this news, and even Taoist companion Xiao Ying didn't know that he had actually left seclusion.
In Chiyuan Villa, after Xu Song studied the spirit-gathering array for ten years, he already had many clues and was not far away from officially working out the layout method.
After Zhou Yang arrived here, he didn't bother him to study the formation. He just continued to recuperate here and study swordsmanship.
"Dayan Sword Technique" is extensive and profound, and the advanced sword formations recorded in it are more difficult to practice the further they go, and with Zhou Yang's cultivation strength at this time, it is not easy to learn.
However, this also strengthened his determination to learn it. If this swordsmanship can be fully understood, even if it lacks the corresponding part of the golden elixir stage, after he successfully forms the elixir, he will still be able to become a powerful opponent for him.
means.
After spending another three years in Chiyuan Villa, Zhou Yang had not yet learned the last advanced sword formation in the "Dayan Sword Art", the "Nine Palaces Sword Formation", but Xu Song had already successfully mastered it.
The special spirit-gathering array completely reproduced it.
"This spirit-gathering array itself is not of a high level. A fourth-level high-level array mage can arrange it. However, if you want to achieve the effect of the current cave on the third-level spiritual veins, you need to operate the array for more than thirty years.
It has been achieved, and when setting up the formation, five high-grade spiritual stones with five elements attributes must be used as the base of the formation."
"And according to my inference, this spirit-gathering magic circle can only push the spiritual energy concentration in the magic circle to the level equivalent to the fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins at most, and it is impossible to reach the level of the sixth-level spiritual veins!"
"Also, once you place this spirit gathering array in your spiritual vein, don't think about raising the level of this spiritual vein in the future, because this spirit gathering array will change the foundation of the spiritual vein and make it lose
Promotion possible!”
"Finally, this jade slip records my research experience on this spirit-gathering array and the method of arranging it. As long as you find a fourth-level high-grade array mage and ask him to follow the above method, you will definitely be able to make this
The formation is laid out."
In Chiyuan Villa, Xu Song found Zhou Yang who was recuperating, threw a jade slip into his hand, and explained his research results to him with a tired face.
Over the years, he had focused all his attention on studying the spirit-gathering array, which had consumed a lot of energy. His current tired look was not deliberately pretending to gain Zhou Yang's sympathy.
Zhou Yang held the jade slip he threw over in his hand, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and bowed deeply to Xu Song with a serious face and said: "Senior Xu, thank you for your hard work. I will do what I said, so let me
I will send you to the [Demonfall Valley] to practice cultivation!"
"This is what you said, then I will wait for you to fulfill your promise!"
After Xu Song finished speaking, he took a deep look at him and went back to rest in the "Yunshen Tablet" hanging on his waist.
Zhou Yang didn't waste any time and immediately left Chiyuan Villa. He quietly delivered the "Yun Shen Tablet" to Li Hong and asked him to personally visit the "Falling Demon Valley" and send Xu Song to infiltrate it.
build.
After doing all this, Zhou Yang officially returned to the cave in Cangyuan Immortal City and announced the result of his failure in seclusion and elixir formation.
At this time, thirteen years have passed since he was in seclusion and formed elixirs. The monks who had some knowledge of elixir formation had already guessed this result. Therefore, even his Taoist companion Xiao Ying didn't think much of it when he heard him talk about it.
My biggest impression was just to comfort him with a few words.
Xiao Ying's cultivation level at this time has also reached the seventh level of Zi Mansion. She is not far from the eighth level of Zi Mansion. For her, forming a pill is not too far away.
At this time, there are only two years left before the twenty-year agreement between Qingyuan Sword Sect Han Xiao and Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang counts the time and plans to go to Qingyuan Mountain in Jinyang State to receive the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir"
idea.
However, just when he had this idea and was about to leave in another year, the "Xuanguang Ring" he had been wearing on his left index finger suddenly shone brightly with silver light.
When he saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened.
"Damn old ghost Guo, it's only been less than twenty years, and he's already thinking about me?"
"At this juncture, he suddenly summoned me to visit him. Could it be related to the [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir] promised to me by Qingyuan Sword Sect?"
"Sure enough, the old ghost in the Nascent Soul stage is treacherous. He summoned me at this moment. Unless I don't want the [Jade Liquid Golden Elixir], I will have no choice but to obey his call and go to see him!"
Zhou Yang cursed secretly in his heart, almost scolding all eighteen generations of Guo Jinhong's ancestors.
However, despite the scolding, he could not really give up the "Jade Liquid Golden Elixir" that he had risked his life to earn at this juncture. He could only respond to the call, arrange some things in a hurry, and then went to Shanxi with Qin Yue'er.
Yang country.
Qin Yue'er must be brought with him. Firstly, Guo Jinhong had said that he would take her back to Wangyou Valley every few decades to check on the restriction of the "God Control Technique". Secondly, he was not worried about letting her go after he left.
He was with his Taoist companion Xiao Ying.
On the contrary, it was Taoist companion Xiao Ying. This time Zhou Yang let her stay in Cangyuan Immortal City and handed her the "Great Movement Order" and thirty-six high-grade spiritual stones.
If something really happened during his trip, or if no news came back within ten years, Xiao Ying would take Zhou Guangxiang, Zhou Tongyue and others directly back to the Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World, and then cut off the connection with the teleportation array.
ps: Doing the math, there are about six or seven chapters before the elixir can be formed. Speaking of which, I also want the protagonist to succeed at once, but this type of book is not that fast-paced, although many people don’t like to read it now.
It’s a bit of a “struggle”, but I’m really writing a book called “Zhou Yang’s Struggle to Cultivate Immortality in Another World”!
