After Shen Luo put all the dust-reducing pills into the gourd, he began to meditate and practice with concentration.
Time flew by, and a month passed quickly. Shen Luo, who had been meditating in the cave, opened his eyes.
"It seems like I can't break through the pill-forming bottleneck by myself."
Shen Luo laughed at himself, flicked his sleeves, and a bunch of mid-level spiritual stones with different attributes fell around him.
He wants to use these spiritual stones to set up a five-element spiritual gathering array. This is a auxiliary array that can gather all the spiritual energy within several miles nearby into the array.
Although the cave in Shenluo was very rich in spiritual energy, he felt that the more spiritual energy, the better.
After all, when impacting the elixir formation, the most important thing is to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fill the body, so that the true energy missing in the dantian can solidify and form the elixir.
This step seems extremely simple, but if the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not thorough enough, it will not be enough to replenish the true energy consumed by condensing the pill.
Then it will cause the elixir condensation to fail, and the true energy will evaporate and the cultivation level will fall to the foundation-building stage. Therefore, this aspect must not be careless, and Shenluo must be prepared for a rainy day.
After setting up the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation, Shen Luo took out a gourd and several jade bottles and placed them in front of him.
The dust-reducing pills stored in the gourd have been refined and are all top-quality elixirs.
The several portions of Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid stored in the jade bottle were also refined by the sinking gourd, greatly increasing their medicinal power to the extreme.
Now he can swallow these spiritual objects and form elixirs anytime and anywhere.
Shen Luo picked up the gourd, poured out one of the dust-falling pills stored in it and placed it in his hand.
Looking at the refined elixir in his hand, he put it into his mouth and swallowed it.
The elixir melted as soon as it entered the abdomen, and the spiritual energy in Shen Luozhou's body suddenly began to stir uncontrollably.
It wandered back and forth on his limbs and bones, as well as the eight extraordinary meridians, as if washing and breaking through something that was tightly bound to his body.
This restless spiritual power fluctuation gradually calmed down after wandering around for a few times.
He knew that this was because the medicine was not powerful enough. He could not break through the pill-forming bottleneck with just one Dust-falling Pill.
So he poured out five dust-falling pills from the gourd, put them into his mouth, and swallowed them all.
In an instant, the spiritual power that had sunk into his body surged crazily like a violent storm and a stormy sea.
In just a few breaths, he vaguely felt like he was touching the pill.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Shen Luo grabbed the jade bottle containing snow spirit water and sky fire liquid, drank it, and suddenly felt a feeling of ice and fire.
Under the two heavens of ice and fire, Shen Luo's face became extremely strange. One moment he was bright red, and the other moment he was as cold as ice, switching back and forth constantly.
Suffering this state, Shen Luo followed the method of the Golden Elixir Chapter of the Immortality Sutra and began to refine the medicinal power to prepare the golden elixir.
In this way, a year has passed without realizing it, and everything has been peaceful in Shenluo's cave.
One day, in the sky above the sunken cave in a corner of Penglai Fairy Mountain, a purple light group the size of a palm appeared from nowhere. The light group began to spin rapidly since it appeared.
The rotation of the light group is like a suction force, absorbing all the surrounding aura of heaven and earth into the light group at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a moment, the purple light turned into a thick purple cloud, completely covering the Sinking Cave, and it was still expanding.
This large-scale spiritual energy mobilization and the appearance of sudden phenomena, not to mention everyone living here, at least the monks living near Shen Luo, they all noticed the appearance of purple clouds.
Knowing that this was the formation of pills, they had a strange phenomenon. They walked out of the cave more or less, and stopped to watch in the direction of Shenluo Cave.
"Hey, I didn't expect someone to form pills so soon!" A middle-aged man with a fat stomach, big ears, and a generous build stared at the purple clouds in the sky not far away, chuckled, and murmured to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, another man's voice came from far away and said: "Being able to cause the strange phenomenon of forming an elixir does not mean that it will definitely be able to survive. The thunder tribulation and inner demons in the golden elixir stage Tribulation.”
Hearing this sound, the middle-aged man turned away and looked in the direction of the sound.
The person who saw him was a man dressed as a Taoist priest, who had the same early stage cultivation of Jindan as him.
Faced with the Taoist priest eavesdropping on his words, he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he grinned at him and said, "Fellow Taoist is right. If you want to break through the golden elixir stage, you can't just swallow some pills and take some spiritual liquid." It’s a simple breakthrough.”
After hearing these words, the Taoist priest glanced at the man, then focused his gaze on the purple clouds. A trace of aftertaste flashed in his eyes and said: "I remember that when I was just going through the Golden Pill Thunder Tribulation, I was almost chopped to death. The thunder tribulation is so terrifying, let alone the inner demon tribulation that follows."
"Yes, it is extremely difficult for monks of our generation to become immortals. The bottleneck of forming pills alone has trapped many people." The middle-aged man said with emotion.
"In the heart of the world, on the path of Miaomiao Immortal, whether this person can condense the golden elixir depends on how this vision will change."
After the Taoist priest spoke, the purple clouds above the Sinluo Cave suddenly changed.
A purple vortex is formed, which continuously transports the gathered spiritual energy to the cave below.
The emergence of the spiritual energy vortex is the last step for the immortal cultivator to attack the elixir formation, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and slowly condensing the true energy in the elixir field into elixir.
As long as the condensation of the golden elixir is successful, the clouds transformed by the spiritual energy will gradually disperse and return to the world; but if the condensation of the golden elixir fails, the clouds will immediately explode in the air.
Shen Luo inside the cave is using the spiritual energy that is continuously poured into his body to use all his strength to refine and compress the spiritual energy in his dantian into solidified true essence.
This phenomenon lasted for three days. After three days, Shen Luo finally compressed enough real energy.
According to the instructions of the Immortality Sutra, a purple inner elixir about the size of an inch was condensed in the Dantian.
This purple inner elixir is nothing else, it is the golden elixir he dreamed of, and now his golden elixir has been successfully condensed.
As long as you survive the golden elixir thunder tribulation and the inner demon tribulation, you can become a veritable golden elixir stage monk.
"It seems that his golden elixir has been successfully condensed, but I don't know whether he can survive the thunder tribulation and the inner demon tribulation." The middle-aged man who had been watching from a distance opened his mouth to see the clouds formed by the spiritual energy gradually dissipating.
"Thunder disaster is not so easy to survive." The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile.
After Shen Luo on the side successfully condensed the elixir, he used the technique of inner vision to look at it with joy. He felt that he had condensed the elixir.
The reason why it is purple instead of gold is probably related to his main practice, the Immortality Sutra.
