This is indeed the case. Who would have expected that there would be monks practicing on a small island without spiritual energy.
For ordinary monks, it is basically impossible to practice without spiritual energy. Even if you practice with spiritual stones, you still need to breathe in and out of spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is essential.
Therefore, those who practice Taoism strive to pursue that kind of place filled with dense spiritual energy as a place for cultivation.
The island the two of them were on was just a deserted island. Unless the monks who chose to practice on the deserted island were fools, who would waste time on such an island?
Chu Chen and Liu Xiao have unique physical constitutions and martial arts. They do not need spiritual energy as a source of cultivation. Even if they have abundant spiritual energy, it will be almost the same as having no spiritual energy.
"If we form the pill as soon as possible, we won't have to be so timid." Chu Chen sighed, but he made up his mind.
"Well! The Flame Spirit Monster Body that Senior Lianfeng gave me feels like its talent is much better than the Jade Spirit Fairy Body. As long as there are enough monster souls, forming a golden elixir is just a matter of course." Liu Xiao
Jianshui answered unhurriedly, a hint of determination flashed through her eyes.
"That's good! When we successfully form the elixir together, we can leave here." Chu Chen scratched his head and smiled.
Liu Xiao said softly "Hmm".
After that, the two of them were speechless. Liu Xiao patted the storage bag, took out the green fire flag, shook the flag body, and released more than ten souls.
An inch-long mini light golden flame bird flew out from the center of Liu Xiao's eyebrows, with red and golden flames sprouting from its body. It was the true spirit of Yan Ling.
Opening its beak, more than ten souls were immediately swallowed by the mini flame bird.
These souls were all the souls of the monks from the Spiritual Medicine Mountain before, including Qin Shou's soul. Now that Qin Shou's grandfather was dead, Liu Xiao had no scruples anymore, so Liu Xiao simply swallowed the souls of these people.
After swallowing the soul, the mini flame bird lingered for a few times and flew into Liu Xiaomei's heart. Liu Xiao immediately began to meditate to refine the absorbed soul.
After Chu Chen used the Yuyang Sacred Tree to cultivate his spiritual consciousness, he took a magic source pill and began to meditate.
Life will be more or less like this from now on, and hunting monsters and beasts will continue as usual.
It is worth mentioning that after Qin Shou's grandfather died, he left two things behind.
One is the white wood folding fan, the authentic Lingbao Flowing Frost Moon Thorn!
This is a good thing. The spiritual treasure can be used after the two of them form the golden elixir.
There is something even better, a storage bracelet!
This storage bracelet is equivalent to all the treasures of Qin Shou's grandfather, and its value can be imagined.
The ancient spirit treasure soul-binding rope that was revealed earlier should also be inside.
I still remember that when Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were still on the desert island, they also received storage bracelets from two golden elixir monks, which were still in Chu Chen's storage bag.
At present, Chu Chen and Liu Xiao have obtained all the belongings of three golden elixir monks before they have reached the golden elixir stage. It is really an unexpected fortune.
When the two of them reach the golden elixir stage in their cultivation, they will probably have no shortage of spiritual treasures, especially spiritual stones.
Time flies, five years later...
For five years, Chu Chen and Liu Xiao were still cultivating peacefully, living a life isolated from the outside world, but feeling free and unrestrained.
Two years ago, the evil spirit in Chu Chen's Three Pan True Patterns had accumulated to a critical point. No more killing could increase the evil spirit, and he did not continue to hunt monsters after that.
Hunting the monsters became Liu Xiao's mission alone. Chu Chen proposed to work with her, but Liu Xiao refused.
Liu Xiao didn't want to disturb Chu Chen's cultivation. Besides, with his own strength, it was not difficult to hunt monsters by himself, and his cultivation speed did not slow down.
Until a few months ago, Liu Xiao's demonic spiritual power was saturated and he was finally able to advance again.
This advancement is naturally perfect. Now the Flame Spirit Demonic Body has reached the peak of level four, and its strength has been further improved.
Liu Xiao still hunts monster beasts every day. His cultivation level has reached the fourth level and his devouring ability has improved. Now Liu Xiao can swallow the souls of more than twenty upper level four monster beasts at one time, which is more than double the previous level.
Want more.
Thanks to this, after Liu Xiao advanced to the fourth level, his cultivation speed was no slower than before, or even slightly faster. This was an unexpected surprise.
As for Chu Chen, after several years of training, his alchemy skills have made substantial progress. Now he can refine third-grade elixirs with ease, with at least a 90% success rate.
If it were spread, it would be shocking.
Alchemy can be considered to have reached the limit of his current level of cultivation. Chu Chen finally couldn't hold himself back and began to refine the spirit-boosting elixir.
Since the materials for refining the spirit-boosting pill had been prepared before, Chu Chen immediately started refining them.
There is only one set of materials, which means "only success is allowed, failure is not allowed".
In order to refine the Spirit-Building Pill, Chu Chen spent six days and six nights refining the Spirit-Building Pill. It can be said that he devoted all his efforts without making any mistakes.
Fortunately, God follows people's wishes, and with the help of the Flame Spirit Burning Heaven Technique, Chu Chen was able to successfully refine this spirit-replenishing pill!
Chu Chen was naturally extremely happy. In this way, the huge effort he spent finally paid off.
With this spirit-boosting pill, the formation of pills is guaranteed, and Chu Chen can also formulate pills with peace of mind.
Now that he has the spirit-boosting pill in hand, all Chu Chen needs to do is practice.
Five more years later, Chu Chen finally reached the foundation-building stage of cultivation, and Liu Xiao's cultivation level was also steadily improving.
Finally, a few days ago, after everything was prepared, Chu Chen began to form pills!
Considering that the golden elixir thunder disaster would occur when forming elixirs, Chu Chen chose a higher mountain peak and prepared to form elixirs here.
Liu Xiao watched from the side, concern showing in his brows.
Liu Xiao was full of confidence in Chu Chen's formation of elixirs, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
Chu Chen sat upright as usual and began to form elixirs.
In the dantian, the demon spirit power began to roll, like boiling hot water, with extremely violent fluctuations.
The first step in forming an elixir is to condense the elixir.
Chu Chen's whole body was billowing with black air, which looked slightly cold, and the evil energy was involuntarily inspired from the Three Pan True Patterns on his back. The aura was terrifying.
Condensing the elixir is relatively smooth. The so-called elixir condensation is to condense the spiritual power in the Dantian into a ball, and then slowly compress it to form a golden elixir.
Because of the lack of spiritual energy in the Dantian at the last moment of condensing the elixir, many monks failed to condensate the elixir and lost their souls.
There are many such examples. The last moment of condensing the elixir is the most important. It is related to whether the golden elixir can be condensed. If it cannot be condensed into the golden elixir, let alone advance, you will lose your life, and your soul will be wiped out by the backlash.
The Spirit Replenishing Pill is used in the final stage of condensing the elixir. It can suddenly increase the spiritual power in the Dantian, thus increasing the chance of condensing the golden elixir.
Chu Chen took a spirit-boosting pill at the last moment of condensing the pill. In fact, according to the situation of the pill condensation just now, he should be able to successfully condense the pill without taking the spirit-boosting pill.
But in order to avoid accidents, Chu Chen still took one.
After a while, the pill condensation was finally successful!
The black energy all over the body suddenly converged, and a golden light emitted from the Dantian, which was a sign that the pill condensation was successful.
The golden elixir has been successfully condensed, and the next step is to deal with the golden elixir thunder tribulation!
Chu Chen did not feel any contempt, he took out a few defensive spiritual weapons from the storage bag and immediately activated the Three Rocks Holy Technique.
The huge three-pan shadow condensed in the mid-air, and Chu Chen prepared to take over the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation.
The Golden Core Thunder Tribulation is the first thunder tribulation experienced by those who practice Taoism. It is actually not very powerful. There are only three Golden Core Thunder Tribulations, one is stronger than the other. Once the three are passed, if the monk is still alive, he will be able to survive.
The robbery was successful.
After a few breaths, several layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and the sound of thunder and lightning was loud, covering an area of dozens of miles in radius.
Above the black clouds, countless thunder snakes loomed, and the sounds of lightning and thunder were endless.
The black clouds continued to spread, the day turned dark, and the power of thunder continued to increase.
Liu Xiao's eyes gradually changed from suspicion to horror.
"This! Is this the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Liu Xiao kept shaking his head and shouted.
Liu Xiao had also witnessed those master uncles going through the Golden Pill Thunder Tribulation in the Bifu Palace before, and the power and power of the scene in front of him were really different!
Now, with dark clouds covering hundreds of miles around and thunder snakes raging, how could it be the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation!
Chu Chen was extremely horrified at this moment, this is the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation?! How come it is so different from what is described in the book!
Above the mountain peaks, layers of dark clouds gradually lowered, and thunder shook the sky.
Cold sweat broke out on Chu Chen's forehead, and he felt an extremely huge pressure.
At this moment, a bright thunder broke through the void, and purple light surged, shocking! It was heading towards Chu Chen at this moment.
The power was so terrifying that Chu Chen could feel that the purple thunder carried an extremely tyrannical power of destruction.
"Is this the first tribulation thunder?"
Chu Chen's expression didn't have time to change, so he hurriedly took out a shining golden shield and activated it immediately.
The golden light on the shield increased greatly. It was a purely defensive high-grade spiritual weapon, and its defense power was considered very high.
To be on the safe side, Chu Chen activated the Three Rocks Holy Technique, and the black energy outside his body completely enveloped his body.
The three-pan shadow above the head suddenly stretched out his hands, trying to resist the incoming thunder.
The next moment, thunder pierced the sky, locked on Chu Chen, and struck suddenly.
"Boom!" The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world.
The bright thunder instantly hit the golden shield in front of Chu Chen's hands. There was only a "click" sound, and the shield was shattered by the thunder in an instant, and it didn't even last half a breath of time.
Chu Chen's eyes were focused, and he stretched out his hands. The three-pan holy method was activated to the extreme, and his arms carried a trace of light gold in the billowing black energy.
Chu Chen clenched his teeth to block the dazzling lightning. His arms were entangled by the raging thunder and lightning, which made him numb and almost unconscious.
"Why is this happening?"
Liu Xiao was watching from somewhere down the mountain. At this moment, his mood had hit rock bottom and his face turned pale.
Unexpectedly, the power of the Jindan Thunder Tribulation that Chu Chen encountered was so outrageous. The power of the ordinary Jindan Thunder Tribulation was not even one-tenth of what it was now!
"What...what...is going on!" Liu Xiao's body began to tremble. She wanted to help Chu Chen, but she was unable to do anything. Only one person could survive the tribulation. If an outsider intervened, the tribulation would be destroyed.
The power of thunder will only increase exponentially, and it will cause death but no life.
Chu Chen held up his arms to resist the thunder of calamity. The Holy Law of Three Pans was activated to the extreme. The shadow of Three Pans also stretched out its golden hand to resist the thunder of calamity together with Chu Chen.
Even so, he still couldn't completely block the thunder and lightning. Chu Chen's whole body was entangled by lightning, with lightning radiating all over his body, his brows furrowed, and he endured great pain.
The black energy surrounding his body was also dissipating, and lightning flashed all over his body.
"I won't be able to last long if this continues!" Chu Chen's forehead was sweating. The power of this thunderbolt was ridiculously high!
