the next few months.
In addition to practicing at the lake every day, Xiao Hua also occasionally goes to Zou Shuniang's cave to refine elixirs.
He even went to the cave to collect several bottles of spiritual liquid for making wine.
Over the past few months, Xiao Hua not only re-refined several bottles of elixirs, but also brewed several bottles of high-strength spirit wine that was not effective enough.
In the blink of an eye, Zou Shuniang has been away for half a year, and Xiao Hua has been trapped in Lingshan for three years.
Looking at his newly refined elixir and newly brewed spiritual wine on the square table, Xiao Hua felt lonely again.
His cultivation level has been promoted to the late stage of foundation building during this period.
If he continues to practice, he will soon be able to form a golden elixir to usher in the catastrophe, and Xiao Hua has nothing to do.
A person's secluded life is not as beautiful as imagined.
If he could keep practicing, Xiao Hua could stay in seclusion for a long time regardless of the years, but he just couldn't continue to practice because of his acquired spiritual roots.
If he were still a mortal, Xiao Hua might be able to live by working in the mountains.
But he happened to be an immortal cultivator who could live without eating. Even if he could still sleep, he couldn't sleep forever.
Xiao Hua feels like he is now a walking corpse that has been imprisoned without a soul.
These boring days with no one to talk to and nothing to do are completely torture for Xiao Hua.
But how long has it been? There are still more than two hundred years.
Xiao Hua once again felt deep despair. What's the point of living in such a boring way?
Three days later, Xiao Hua came to the small lake where he usually practiced.
He decided to go against heaven and form an elixir to survive the calamity.
These three years of experience in Lingshan have made Xiao Hua understand a lot.
Especially after Zou Shuniang left, he took many things lightly.
Perhaps everyone does have his or her own destiny, but cultivating immortals is an act that goes against heaven, and is a struggle with heaven and earth.
Instead of just accepting your fate, it's better to give it a go and give it a try.
Xiao Hua took a pill and took out a bottle of high-spirited spirit wine from his storage bracelet and placed it in front of him.
He would use a two-pronged approach to forcibly form the elixir by refining the elixir and the medicinal properties of the high-spirited spirit wine.
One day a month later.
Suddenly, the sky above the island where Xiao Hua was located was filled with wind, clouds, and fog rising. Countless auras of light visible to the naked eye poured into the thick fog from all directions, forming a huge vortex that was slowly rotating.
Xiao Hua finally reached the critical point of forming pills.
While wearing Earth Elemental Armor, Xiao Hua used a thick double-layered water shield to protect his whole body.
Then he recited the mantra silently and pushed his hands toward the sky. "Whoa" a blue light beam shot towards the spiritual energy vortex.
The beam of light shot through the sky into the vortex.
The aura light groups in the vortex began to slowly circle around this blue light pillar, and one by one they were submerged into the light pillar during the circle.
Soon after, the light pillar disappeared, and a fist-sized, golden, transparent bead appeared in the center of the vortex.
An unusually large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth slowly emitted from the bead.
The spiritual energy vortex began to rotate rapidly.
The fist-sized crystal ball also began to slowly fall towards Xiao Hua, who was sitting under the island, as the vortex rotated rapidly.
But at this moment, the spiritual energy vortex suddenly became cloudy, thunderous and lightning, and stopped in mid-air.
Xiao Hua sat by the lake and was sweating profusely, constantly activating his mana to condense elixirs.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could never break through the final bottleneck of pill formation.
If the stalemate continues like this, Xiao Hua is likely to suffer a backlash from his magic power and eventually go crazy.
Xiao Hua was very puzzled.
Although my spiritual roots are acquired, they are alien spiritual roots after all. I should not encounter bottlenecks in the process of cultivation. Why is there a bottleneck now and I still can't break through it?
Just when Xiao Hua was extremely confused, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Liangdan, what are you doing sitting on the ground? Come here quickly, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Hua looked back.
I don't know when there was a square table and two chairs behind me. Huang Ming was sitting behind the square table and waving to him with a smile.
"Huang Ming? Why are you? Why are you here? What's going on here?".
Xiao Hua was stunned immediately.
Why is Huang Ming here? When did he come? Why don't you know?
"Come here first. What do you think these are in front of me?"
Huang Ming pointed to the square table in front of him.
"Damn, where did you get so much gold and silver? What the hell is going on here?"
Xiao Hua was surprised again.
In front of Huang Ming, there were piles of all kinds of gleaming gold and silver treasures.
"Hey, come here. As long as you come over, I'll tell you right away."
Huang Ming smiled again.
"Hiss..." Xiao Hua took a breath.
No, Huang Ming has opened his spiritual roots and become an immortal cultivator. What he needs most now is the same as himself, which should be advanced skills and treasures that can help him overcome the disaster.
How could he get a bunch of gold and silver treasures from the world and use them in front of him?
Is there something weird here?
"Are these things useless to us? Hey, Lao Ming, why are you here? How did you get in?"
Xiao Hua began to doubt, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this Huang Ming.
"You want to know? That's not easy. As long as you stop practicing and come sit down, I'll tell you right away."
"You just say no and it's over? Why do you have to ask me to come over? Hey, who are you? What do you want to do?"
Xiao Hua was still a little confused, but he was already sure that this person was not Huang Ming.
"I said Liangdan, how long have we not seen each other and you don't recognize me yet? Stop talking and come here quickly. I've found a way to make a fortune. Let's make a plan."
"Total nonsense".
"Chi la".
A bolt of lightning flew out from the thunder flag in Xiao Hua's hand.
Xiao Hua was a little confused, but not stupid. How could Huang Ming be able to enter this ancient cultivation seal in Lingshan if he wanted to?
If the Huang Ming in front of him is not a monster, then he must be another monk hiding in the mountain.
But no matter who it is, showing up at such a critical moment when he is forming a pill must have bad intentions.
"Bang"
Lightning struck Huang Ming.
Huang Ming and the tables and chairs in front of him were like mirrors, shattering into countless tiny crystal pieces and disappearing.
"phantom?".
Xiao Hua was confused again.
What is the situation, how can there be an illusion?
Is this a necessary process for advancing from the foundation building stage to the golden elixir stage?
Just when Xiao Hua was confused and couldn't figure it out, a female voice came from Xiao Hua's Stone Mountain Cave.
"Brother Xiao, my little sister has brewed a new spiritual wine. Do you want to try it?"
"Little sister Zou!".
Xiao Hua was shocked and immediately wanted to get up.
Didn't Mother Zou Shu leave? I couldn't find her before, was it just because she didn't want to see him that she hid on purpose?
But at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Hua's mind.
No, the Huang Ming just now was an illusion. Could this Zou Shuniang be an illusion just like Huang Ming?
