Chapter 31: Collecting the Elixir, Going to the Mountain Gate
Guo Houshan did not stay long, his injuries were not healed, and he flew away after a brief explanation.
This time, because he was in the dark night, he could barely let Cao Xiu see where Elder Guo was going after he escaped from the light.
But it was only fleeting and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
"A strong man in the three realms of heaven and man is so powerful!"
Cao Xiu praised him with a look of envy on his face.
At this level of cultivation, he can already enter and leave Qingming and travel around the world. He is truly worthy of being a great monk in the world of cultivation.
Apart from other things, such a fast escape method is enough to put countless monks beyond their reach!
He retracted his gaze from the distance, looked at the jade slip in his hand, and immediately ran back to the room excitedly. He didn't care about sleeping anymore and directly penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness. It was indeed the magic method for controlling the lotus lantern.
So Cao Xiu entered the cave and tried to control the lotus lantern with magic spells.
Although his true energy is not weak among monks of the same level, it is still far from being able to refine magic weapons.
This is not only due to the lack of true energy, but also the gap in realm!
Fortunately, he does not need to completely refine this magic weapon, nor does he need to control the flame within it. He only needs to follow the restrictions of the lotus lamp to extend the true essence to the flame and gradually refine it!
But even with the suppression of the Lotus Lantern, which ensures that the Red Lotus Holy Fire will not counterattack and hurt him, with his current strength, if he wants to completely refine this flame, according to the current progress, it will probably take several years.
.
"It seems that we have to continue to improve our strength!"
Cao Xiu did not feel embarrassed because he was too weak to refine the holy fire. Instead, he looked at the fountain of life not far away.
Although there is only a small handful of spiritual water at the bottom of the spring, as long as it is operated properly, it is enough to ensure that his strength will skyrocket in a short period of time.
If you have the strength of the Condensing Yuan Realm, the speed of refining the Holy Fire will increase tenfold.
If you advance to the mortal realm and cultivate the Dharmakaya, you will be able to completely refine this fire within ten days!
Of course, this is also due to the fact that magic weapons such as the Lotus Lantern are specially made sacred objects of the Red Lotus Sect. Although they have the material of a magic weapon, they have no treasure function. Their essence is just a vessel that carries the Red Lotus Holy Fire.
As a sacred object of the Red Lotus Sect, the Holy Envoy of the Red Lotus would not dare to refine it and keep it for himself, let alone leave any spiritual thoughts in it. After all, after he removes his identity as the Holy Envoy, he still has to return the Lotus Lantern.
Teaching.
It's a good thing that this is the case, otherwise Cao Xiu wouldn't be able to control it even with his current strength.
Because he knew that the holy fire could not be completely refined in a short period of time, Cao Xiu did not put too much energy into it in the following days.
On the contrary, when I am not practicing, I often inquire about where there is a panacea that suits me.
He felt that the most important thing was to improve his strength first.
However, this cannot be achieved by simply eating Zhu Guo, because what he practices is not an orthodox method of refining Qi. The "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Technique" is a pure physical cultivation method.
Although physical training is relatively simple, as long as you continue to temper your body, you can improve your strength, but it requires a lot of resources. Zhu Guo's spiritual power alone cannot complete the promotion in a short time.
So he begged his mother to take him to Fangshi and spent more than two hundred spiritual stones to buy several bottles of Body Tempering Pills from Lingdan Pavilion!
He has tried the effect and it can indeed strengthen his body.
However, compared to the requirements of "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Art" to temper the physical body to the extreme with the power of the extreme, it is obviously far from enough.
So after a few bottles of elixirs, although my body was much stronger than before, it was still far from Cao Xiu's goal.
Moreover, taking elixirs to practice actually consumes a lot of spiritual stones.
Of the original two thousand spirit stones, there are now more than a thousand left.
It seems to be a lot, but for a casual cultivator or a low-level cultivator family, it will definitely take a long time to accumulate it.
But the truly good things in the world of spiritual practice are all valuable, and if you really use them, you will definitely feel what it means to spend money like water.
Especially after joining the sect in the future, there will be many places where spirit stones will be spent. It is impossible for him to spend all the spirit stones on elixirs, not to mention leaving some for his mother and younger brother.
Therefore, in the next few months, he would go to the market from time to time, but he never bought any elixirs again. Instead, he targeted places that sold elixirs.
Whether it is a casual cultivator or a shop owned by various forces, as long as he encounters something suitable, he will buy some.
Moreover, he does not buy those expensive things, but is particularly interested in many elixirs that are not old enough and have been recently harvested.
Because these elixirs are not old enough, they are relatively cheap and can be purchased for less than a few spirit stones.
After several months of this, he was forced to transplant dozens of elixirs into the cave world.
But not all elixirs are irrigated by the water of life.
Those that he can't use for the time being are just planted inside, dilute the water of life and simply pour a little on it to make sure they don't die.
Although the dilution level of a drop of water of life mixed into a large vat of water was a bit low, it still allowed the recently transplanted elixirs to survive.
However, Cao Xiu was very attentive to several elixirs that he valued particularly highly.
Such as Lieyang Vine, Red Jingzhi, Dragon Pattern Grass, Candle Spirit Fruit and other fire-attribute elixirs.
In addition, there are cold tobacco, snow jade ginseng, and ice heart fruit with yin and cold attributes. In addition, he dug a pond, filled it with water from outside, and planted a cold jade lotus seed bought in the market, preparing to cultivate it.
A cold jade lotus!
The elixir with ice properties was naturally prepared for mother.
Wang's talent and qualifications are not very good, and he has delayed a lot of practice in recent years to take care of his two sons. However, after all, he comes from a family of monks and has a pretty good foundation since childhood.
Cao Xiu believes that with these elixirs, he can absolutely guarantee that his mother can successfully transform from mortal life!
Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Spiritual medicines are not spiritual fruits, and many of them cannot be swallowed directly, especially for human monks.
Because the human body is naturally inferior to the demons, if the demons dare to swallow the elixir directly, the humans need to cooperate with other spiritual herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties and refine the elixir into a milder elixir for consumption, so as to avoid being disrupted by certain elixirs that disrupt their practice.
This is why spiritual fruits such as red fruits, fairy peaches, and fire dates are quite popular in the spiritual world.
Because spiritual fruits can be eaten directly, many of them have unique magical effects, such as increasing longevity or improving one's realm. There are even spiritual fruits that contain the laws of the Great Dao, which can allow people to gain supernatural powers!
Cao Xiu practices body training techniques, which are not that particular. Moreover, the body tempered by the "Six Extremes of Holy Demon Technique" will definitely not be weaker than any ancient gods and demons after it is mastered, so he is swallowing the spirit.
There are a lot less worries when it comes to medicine.
But on his mother's side, except for the spiritual fruits like Bing Xin Guo that can be eaten directly, he still plans to ask someone to help her make elixirs for the rest of the elixirs!
This matter is not urgent. My mother has only just entered the Yuan Condensation Realm. It would be unreasonable to rashly look for an alchemist who is practicing casual cultivation.
So he planned to wait until he became a member of the Daluo Sect and ask the sect's alchemist to take action. It would be okay if the other party covets some elixirs. At the very least, he could guarantee that he would not lose everything.
Time passed like this day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was time for Daluo Sect to open its gate to recruit disciples.
On this day, Cao Xiu said goodbye to his mother and headed towards Daluo Mountain with Chen Shi!
