"Senior Lu, do you want to form an elixir?"
The female cultivator in the green skirt was surprised and looked at the bearded middle-aged man in front of her. Her half-kneeling posture became more humble, with her chest almost touching her knees.
"In the immediate future, the sooner the better."
"Senior, follow me."
The female cultivator took out a jade pendant and injected it with magic power.
She stood up, bowed again, and led Lu Changan into a side hall.
Waited for a while.
A black-faced old man with fake alchemy cultivation and wooden clogs entered the side hall.
"I have met the real Ebony."
The woman in the green skirt pulled back her crotch and spoke in a respectful tone. She gave a brief introduction to both parties and exited the side hall.
"Friend Daoist Lu, fill in this information. Afterwards, Huanglong Immortal City will verify your identity."
Master Wu Mu had no expression on his face as he threw a blank jade slip to Lu Changan.
Lu Changan checked with his consciousness and found that his name, age, origin, and past trajectory needed to be filled in the information.
He made elixirs once in Jing Kingdom, and it was similar, except that Wufu Chamber of Commerce took care of it at that time, which saved a lot of tedious steps.
"Please ask a real person, how long will it take for the review and verification?"
When Lu Changan was "filling in" the information in the jade slip, he noticed that Master Wumu's consciousness was already exploring him.
As a true elixir cultivator, possessing a hundred illusion masks, he would naturally not be spotted by a fake elixir.
"Leasing a third-level spiritual vein-forming elixir requires the approval of the deputy city lord of Immortal City. It's hard to say how long the process will take. It could be a few months at least, or a year and a half at most."
Master Ebony looked businesslike.
Lu Changan felt at ease.
Even though one and a half years is not long, most of them have reached the ninth level of foundation construction, and they are quite old, often over a hundred years old.
Every year that passes, my physical condition will decline slightly compared to its peak.
At this stage, time is precious and priceless.
"Can the real person be accommodating? If this happens, there will be half of the aftermath..."
There were only two people in the side hall, so Lu Changan didn't want to talk nonsense and handed a brocade bag to Master Wumu.
Master Ebony glanced at the brocade bag with his spiritual consciousness. There were twenty middle-grade spiritual stones, and his expression softened a bit.
He nodded and said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with Deputy City Lord Deng. I can help you with some urging. As long as there is no problem with your identity, you should be able to pass the review within a month."
"In addition, according to regulations, you need to pay a fee of five thousand spiritual stones to form an elixir in Huanglong Mountain."
"If Xiaoyou Lu signs an agreement and is willing to become a worshiper of Huanglong Immortal City after successfully forming the elixir, and guard it for twenty years. Then, regardless of whether the elixir is successfully formed or not, the cost of the spiritual stone can be saved."
Ebony Masato added.
Lu Changan hesitated and struggled for a moment, "Five thousand spirit stones, Lu can afford it if he sells some magic weapons and supplies."
"Well, Fellow Daoist Lu, please go back and wait. Please do not leave Huanglong Immortal City during this period. Someone may question you then."
…
Huanglong Fairy City, inside the inn.
Lu Changan waited for more than half a month before Master Wumu sent a message.
He went to the previous office hall, met with Master Wu Mu, and received a dark copper warrant.
Lu Changan offered the other half of the spiritual stone as a bribe.
Master Wumu was in a happy mood and took Lu Changan to the third-level spiritual vein cave area in Huanglong Mountain.
Lu Changan chose a slightly remote cave.
"Then I wish Master Lu success in forming the elixir."
He cupped his hands and congratulated him in advance.
"Borrowing auspicious words from real people."
After watching Lu Changan enter the cave, Master Wumu headed back home, looking thoughtful.
"This person's consciousness is tenacious and his magic power is pure and stable. There should be a 40-50% chance of forming a fake elixir."
"It's just that he is a little older. If there is no superior elixir-forming spiritual object, the possibility of a true elixir is relatively low."
As the manager of the third-level spiritual veins, Master Wumu is relatively accurate in judgment.
…
Inside the third-level cave.
Lu Changan immediately set up a restriction and a quasi-fourth-level magic formation.
It mainly prevents other high-level monks from exploring the details in the cave with their spiritual consciousness.
If that's the case, there will be clues about the mana aura when he turns the elixir or forms the elixir.
The highest defender of Huanglong Immortal City is in the middle stage of Zhendan.
Lu Changan's quasi-fourth-level magic formation was more than enough even if it was only half-powerful.
To be on the safe side, he still used all the formations.
Everything is ready.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and rested his mind, and once again reviewed the "Gui Chen Transformation Pill Method" that he had already thoroughly understood, including the insights given by Zhang Tieshan.
Zhang Tieshan's experience is just the experience of turning fake elixirs into elixirs.
The transformation of real elixirs into elixirs is much more difficult.
Fortunately, Lu Changan only formed a very mediocre lower-level true elixir, which was only slightly stronger than Fu Xuemei's low-level true elixir.
[This is also the reason why the quality of the elixir cannot be high for the first time. 】
[No matter how rich the theory is, no matter how confident you are, without practical experience, you must be extremely cautious when making elixirs for the first time. 】
"With my current level of body training, no matter how bad the situation is, I won't die."
Lu Changan rotated "Hundred Forged Diamond", his entire body was raised by half, and a layer of gold-plated muscle texture condensed on his body surface.
At first glance, it looks like a solid gold-plated bronze figure, with a terrifying physical aura exuding from its breath.
That level of blood pressure is similar to that of a third-level demon.
Half a year after leaving Wuqi Mountain, he found a small place and devoted himself to practicing the "Hundred-forged Vajra". He finally reached the seventh level of this body-refining method!
It is equivalent to true elixir level body refining!
Half a day later.
Lu Changan's secret method of transforming elixirs worked for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, the spiritual pressure in his body began to gradually decrease.
Especially the area where the true elixir is located.
Lu Changan, who was practicing the true elixir level, felt a little uncomfortable.
It can be seen how much pressure other monks have to convert elixirs.
The process of condensing the elixir, infusing the body with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, will increase the spiritual pressure.
As for transforming elixirs, you have to do the opposite.
"Reduce the spiritual pressure, erode from the outside to the inside, and loosen the core."
"From the core of the pill formation, vibrate at a high frequency from the inside to the outside, causing it to peel off the pill particles bit by bit..."
Lu Changan has a very clear understanding of the principles of alchemy.
In addition, there are medicines prepared that will help loosen the pills after being taken.
The recipe of the medicine comes from Zhang Tieshan’s experience.
The powerful spiritual consciousness and third-level body refining gave Lu Changan more room for error.
Another half hour passed.
hiss!
Lu Changan's abdomen felt faintly collapsed and twisted, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
The dark blue true elixir trembled unsteadily, expanded a bit, and a few crystal particles as big as gravel peeled off from its surface.
The pressure inside Lu Changan's body increased sharply.
Poof!
Under the lower spiritual pressure, those pill particles suddenly turned into several times the volume of liquid mana.
Immediately afterwards, the own energy contained in the true elixir particles quickly dispersed.
At the same time, along with the huge wood spiritual energy, it returned and dispersed in the world.
During this process, every part of Lu Changan's body, including the hidden veins in his dantian, the bone marrow of his organs, and the foundation of his life, were subjected to oppression and impact.
This kind of damage is like an invisible wind, penetrating into the internal organs, blood and bone marrow.
The expansion and vibration of the true elixir creates an unstable force field.
If the control is not good, the worst case scenario is equivalent to the explosion of a small nuclear bomb.
Therefore, the secret method is important on the road to transforming the elixir, and it must be protected by the True Lord Nascent Soul.
"No wonder after the elixir is transformed, the foundation is easily damaged and the vitality is severely damaged."
As time went by, Lu Changan became more and more skilled in the method of converting pills.
The seemingly unstable true elixir is in a relative balance, constantly peeling off the true elixir crystal particles.
The crystal particles quickly transformed into liquid mana.
More vitality, huge wood spirit energy, collapsed from his body.
Lu Changan's spiritual pressure dropped from the early stage of the real elixir to the level of the fake elixir.
The repair base continues to decline steadily.
After seven days and seven nights.
All of Lu Changan's true elixirs turned into crystal-clear and flawless liquid evergreen mana, returning to the original lake of mana.
"Return to the ninth level of foundation building!"
"Huh? It's the peak of the ninth level of foundation building, and the magic power is indeed quite pure."
The elixir was transformed smoothly, and Lu Changan's face was filled with joy.
Before Jing Guo formed the elixir, his cultivation level was at the ninth level of foundation building.
This elixir transformation is equivalent to saving more than ten years of cultivation time.
It can be seen that the time point of the last elixir formation was chosen very cleverly.
…
After converting the elixir, Lu Changan checked his physical condition.
"The vitality is damaged, leaving small hidden wounds deep in the body."
Because of the third level of body refining, Lu Changan had no obvious injuries or even any bleeding.
However, small hidden injuries deep inside the body are inevitable and will have some impact on the foundation.
Although Lu Changan's body training is strong, the internal organs and heart meridians in the body, the hidden hidden veins, including the eyes, etc., are still fragile parts.
Even some big demons will cause great harm if they are stabbed in the eyes or internal organs.
"Shouyuan falls rapidly and returns to the lifespan of the foundation building period."
Lu Changan felt the strong energy of time passing by rapidly.
It took a long time for Lu Changan to adapt to the "weak" physical condition after taking the pill.
The feeling of losing the level of life is extremely uncomfortable.
It may even have an impact on the state of mind, affecting the success or failure of the next pill formation.
"Fortunately, I still have more than five hundred years of life after falling back to the foundation building stage."
Lu Changan took his time and smiled lightly.
He immediately consumed his lifespan and used the Evergreen Secret Technique to repair his body.
Buzz!
A touch of ancient green light exudes the aura of reincarnation of time, like the light of life, rippling in Lu Changan's body.
"This is what Evergreen Secret Technique treatment feels like..."
Lu Changan closed his eyes, as if a baby in his mother's womb was being warmed and nourished by the innate energy.
The feeling is so addictive that I don’t want to interrupt it at all.
"Oh! No, I used too much..."
"Half a year of longevity and good health!"
Lu Changan opened his eyes and felt physically and mentally comfortable. The hidden wounds and small flaws in his body had been repaired and washed.
With the blessing of the third-level body refining, the hidden damage to the body is relatively minor, and the impact on the foundation does not require so much longevity.
With normal care and medication, it can be repaired in a year or two at most.
It only took Lu Changan a few breaths to complete this step, and his body's vitality was restored to some extent.
Lu Changan did not form an elixir immediately, but took some elixirs that replenished Qi, blood and essence.
Half a month later.
Lu Changan was in good spirits and began to form pills for the first time after forming pills.
Other monks who transform elixirs do not have such a strong spiritual consciousness and physical body, nor do they have the longevity sacrifice of the Evergreen Secret Technique.
Even if the elixir is successfully transformed, the subsequent recovery time may range from one or two years to three to five years at most.
If the damage to the foundation is too severe and difficult to reverse, even a fake elixir won't be possible next time.
…
Forming pills is becoming increasingly easy for Lu Changan now.
Poor condition does not affect success or failure.
It only affects the quality of the finished pill.
This is still the case without using any external pill-forming objects.
[After the first test of alchemy, Lu Changan felt that he still had a lot of energy left. 】
The third level physical body was strong and not much injured.
And the trump card of possession in the previous life was not used at all.
Zhang Tieshan’s experience in converting elixirs is recorded:
After the elixir is transformed, the quality of the next elixir will be improved by about 20 to 30%.
It varies from person to person.
[With this improvement, Lu Changan is confident and more confident about the next elixir transformation. 】
Seven days later.
In the sky above Huanglong Mountain, the clouds of spiritual energy covering a radius of more than two and a half miles slowly dispersed.
"Form a true elixir!"
"With such a weather, at least it's the downstream true elixir! It's stronger than the ordinary downstream true elixir."
The foundation-building monks of Huanglong Mountain, the Master Jiedan, and the senior officials of Immortal City were paying attention to this scene.
Several monks gathered outside Lu Changan's cave.
Among them is the real person Ebony.
"That kid actually formed a true elixir. Could it be that there is a superior elixir-forming spiritual object?"
Master Wumu was surprised, envious, and felt sour in his heart.
In the era dominated by the Lihuo Palace, the birth of a true elixir in Huanglong Immortal City will shock the world.
After Jinyang Zongbei moved to the north, the overall strength of Liang State improved a lot, and the number of Zhendan monks was much greater than before.
Inside the third-level cave.
Lu Changan, who was promoted to the true elixir again, closed his eyes to check the quality of the completed elixir.
"The elixir returns to liquid, and the mana becomes more pure. After re-knotting, the quality of the elixir has indeed improved."
"It's just that it's not the 20% to 30% increase mentioned in Zhang Tieshan's experience, it's about 10% to 20% increase."
The quality of Lu Changan's elixir this time was almost as good as the mid-range true elixir.
If it is improved by about 30%, it should be able to reach the middle level of true elixir.
Lu Changan thought for a moment and understood the reason.
The 30% improvement in quality refers to the fake elixir monk's re-formation of elixirs.
Normal elixirs are fake elixirs by default.
Fake alchemy monks are equivalent to "poor students", so there is certainly a lot of room for improvement.
Lu Changan himself is a real elixir and has a strong foundation; as an outstanding person, the difficulty level becomes higher every time he improves a little bit.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the price of my elixir is very low."
If a few months of lifespan can be used to increase the quality of the pill formation by 10% or 20%, those real pill formation practitioners will probably flock to it.
Don’t underestimate the effect of one or two percent.
Many fake elixir cultivators actually only need a small amount of heat to form real elixirs.
…
Half a month later, Lu Changan, who had consolidated his realm, came out of seclusion and put away the quasi-fourth-level magic formation.
Huanglong Fairy City was visited by several real people.
In order not to make Ma Jia's identity appear abnormal, Lu Changan met with several people and declined the invitation politely.
The only fake alchemy monk he met was Master Ebony.
"Congratulations to Master Lu. You can achieve a true elixir in one step, which is enviable."
Master Ebony had a nice smile and sat with him with compliments.
In less than two months, their identities and statuses were exchanged.
Master Wu Mu not only came to visit, but also gave him a generous gift, which was worth more than the spiritual stones that Lu Changan had bribed before.
"Lu has no intention of staying in the Liang Kingdom and plans to develop in the Seven Nations Alliance. Although the Seven Nations Alliance also faces demonic invasion, its strength is stronger than those around the Liang Kingdom..."
Half a day later.
Lu Changan refused all invitations and flew out of Huanglong Fairy City.
Going all the way west, they finally disappeared into the desolate border wasteland of Liang Kingdom.
…
One month later.
In the hinterland of the Immortal Realm of Liang Kingdom, there is a prairie fire fairy city.
Inside the third-level cave.
puff!
A man in white with true elixir cultivation turned into a phantom and shattered, leaving behind a charred third-level talisman.
"Lu just happened to be 'out of customs' and purchasing some supplies."
In the cave, the real Lu Changan appeared and left the third-level cave area.
In the eyes of others, Lu Changan had been "cultivating" in the cave of Liaoyuan Immortal City for the past few months.
This cave also has restrictions.
Even if a real person's spiritual consciousness scans it, he can at most sense that there is an aura of a real elixir monk inside, which is consistent with Lu Changan.
Forcibly breaking the ban to investigate is an impolite act and is equivalent to declaring war.
A few days later.
After attending the auction, Lu Changan left the Liaoyuan Fairy City, the first fairy city in the Liang Kingdom.
…
In the north of Liang Kingdom, further north of the Black Mist Mountains branch, there is a newly established fairy city called "Five Lights City".
The entire fairy city is shrouded in five colors of light, which is quite magnificent and attracts many female cultivators.
This fairy city was jointly developed by the forces moving north from the Feng Kingdom.
Originally, the "Liuyun Sect" in the north of Liang State was the largest family, second only to the "Lihuo Palace" in strength, and owned the Golden Pill monks.
But now, there is an additional Immortal Cultivating Sect in the North, named "Fengxing Sect", and its strength is close to that of Liuyun Sect.
Wuguang City was actually supported by Fengxing Sect and divided up some of the interests belonging to Liuyun Sect.
Ten months later.
In the city lord's palace of Wuguang City, there is a luxurious palace.
The deputy city lord Huang Chao is receiving a beautiful lady in palace attire with fair skin and a graceful figure.
The beauty in palace attire is about thirty years old, with a graceful and elegant temperament, and is in the advanced stage of foundation building.
"Fairy Liu, if Huang remembers correctly. After the 'Xuanyin Pavilion' was breached, the core monks fled further north, and it is said that they moved to Feng Yuan Kingdom in the desert."
"Why did Fairy Liu appear in the north of Liang Kingdom again after several decades?"
The deputy city lord Huang Chao is a fake elixir master. He looks very young, about thirty years old.
To be able to become the deputy city lord of Wuguang City, Huang Supernatural has some background. His grandfather is the inner sect elder of "Fengxing Sect".
At this time, he was very interested and interrogated Fairy Liu in front of him.
This woman wants to apply for the use of third-level spiritual veins and impact pill formation, so she naturally needs to find out her identity.
Fairy Liu's name is Liu Qingyan. She was once an inner disciple of Xuanyin Pavilion in the Liang Kingdom. During the war of cultivating immortals to the north, she was defeated by the Jinyang Sect camp and disappeared.
"Lord City Lord."
Liu Qingyan's voice was gentle, and there was a soft and charming look between her eyebrows.
"Xuanyin Pavilion was defeated that year, and the master of the pavilion fell. Elder Niyue did lead a group of monks to Feng Yuan Kingdom. But there are still some female monks living in various places, and some of them have miserable fate and become other people's playthings..."
"In addition, there are several sisters who fled to the direction of Jing Kingdom, and I am one of them..."
Telling about the tragic experience, Fairy Liu burst into tears, which made me feel pity for her.
The deputy city lord's eyes were gentle and seemed to be pitiful, looking at that snow-white and alluring face.
"What? My face is stained?"
Seeing Huang Chao staring at her, Liu Qingyan lowered her head slightly and blushed.
"This city lord just sympathizes with your situation."
Huang Chao smiled and looked back.
"Can the city lord..."
"Huang cannot violate the city's regulations. An identity check is essential."
"I understand the unspoken rules of Wuguang Fairy City..."
Liu Qingyan walked closer, and the fragrance filled her nostrils.
Huang Chao felt a cool and delicate touch on his fingers, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then, he saw the brocade bag in his hand.
"I have collected the elixir-forming resources, but there are very few left, only a thousand spirit stones. If the elixir-forming fails, or if it turns out to be a fake elixir, I will not be able to seek refuge with City Lord Huang at that time."
"Fairy Liu is so sincere. If Huang refuses again, wouldn't it be a failure of the beauty's favor..."
Huang Chao chuckled and pushed back the brocade bag.
…
It only took half a month.
Liu Qingyan passed the identity check in Wuguang City.
There is a female music cultivator from Xuanyin Pavilion in the city, who performs in the high-end Xiang Pavilion and was once an outer disciple.
The investigating monk ordered the female music cultivator who was performing arts to meet with Liu Qingyan and confirm the latter's identity.
However, the relationship between the two parties was limited to acquaintance, and after a brief chat, Liu Qingyan rewarded her with a musical temperament technique and hundreds of spiritual stones, and sent her away.
The third level spiritual vein cave in Wuguang City.
Liu Qingyan arranged the restrictions and formations and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I haven't met any familiar 'sisters'. If we discuss musical talents, the secret will be revealed."
Liu Qingyan whispered.
The face of the beauty in palace clothes suddenly blurred and turned back into Lu Changan's appearance.
It turned out that Lu Changan also obtained the identity of the female disciple of Xuanyin Pavilion on his way back from Jing Kingdom to Liang Kingdom.
Decades ago, Liu Qingyan escaped from the Liang Kingdom and prepared to go to the neutral Jing Kingdom.
At that time, in the early stages of foundation building, she was injured and was plotted against by Lu Chi.
Lu Chi is Lu Changan's elixir-forming vest.
Lu Chi saw that she was beautiful, proficient in music, and suitable for dual cultivation, so he imprisoned her.
After decades of taming, Liu Qingyan gradually degenerated.
She kept her name anonymous, took on a new identity, colluded with Lu Chi, and killed many monks.
Liu Qingyan gained trust and reached the late stage of foundation building, but suddenly betrayed and murdered Lu Chi.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chi guarded her.
The two of them had a fierce fight in the cave, with both sides losing.
As a result, he was sensed by Lu Changan who was passing by and killed him casually.
During the decades when Liu Qingyan was in decline, she had a new identity. Others did not know that she was a female cultivator of Xuanyin Pavilion.
Perhaps, she didn't want Xuanyin Pavilion to be humiliated.
…
Half a month later.
In the sky above the third-level cave in Wuguang City, a cloud of spiritual energy with a radius of three miles appeared, swallowing up the mountain clouds.
"The true elixir atmosphere! I'm afraid there is hope for a true elixir in the middle!"
In the fairy city, many monks stopped to watch, with awe on their faces and longing in their hearts.
"This girl actually formed a true elixir..."
Deputy City Lord Huang Chao's face twitched, and his eyes showed a kind of shock and panic of being deceived.
Liu Xianzi had been ambiguous with him before, saying that she had been seriously injured and her foundation was damaged, so she had to use inferior Crystal Condensation Pills.
The best-case scenario is a fake elixir, which has a higher chance of failure.
Regardless of whether it is a fake elixir or a failure, I am willing to commit myself to him in the future.
The promised foundation is damaged, what is the most fake elixir?
In the current situation, it is almost certain to achieve the true elixir, and it may even surpass the downstream true elixir.
Huang Chao, who was deceived, almost cursed his mother.
Looking at the slowly dissipating atmosphere of the Dan formation.
Huang Chao doubted life, was envious, jealous, and resentful, but the anger in his heart dissipated.
A female cultivator of the true elixir of music, very popular in the circle of high-level monks.
He is a little fake and can't afford to offend him, otherwise it will bring trouble to the family.
…
Inside the third-level cave.
"Secondized elixir, the effect is even better!"
Lu Changan, who had formed a true elixir again after a year, opened his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The second time the elixir was transformed and re-knotted, without borrowing any external objects, the middle-level true elixir was formed.
Even the golden elixir seeds of the Nascent Soul Sect may not be able to do this.
Of course, Lu Changan has his own advantages in experience, skills, and spiritual awareness.
"However, this time the increase in elixir return is less than 15%. Moreover, the pressure on the elixir has increased significantly!"
Lu Changan realized that the mana quality bonus he had obtained by converting elixirs back into liquid was approaching its limit.
"No more than three things! Otherwise, even if you have an identity vest, it will be easy for the outside world to associate you with it."
Lu Changan is focused on finalizing the plan.
Three transformation golden elixirs!
The next elixir-forming reconstruction will be the final impact, using all the elixir-forming things!
Lu Changan is more than 50% sure that the golden elixir will be formed in three turns.
Even if the performance is poor, like a rock rat, achieving half-step golden elixir is a sure thing.
The cost for Lu Changan to transform the elixir is very small, and theoretically it can be transformed several times.
He only turned it three times because he expected that the next elixir bonus would be at most 10%, or even less than that.
The bonus effect is getting lower and lower, but the backlash pressure of the elixir will continue to increase.
High risk, low return, not in line with his philosophy.
Therefore, the three-transformation pill can be used to its maximum extent under controllable risks.
If you still can't become a golden elixir, you can only accept your fate.
Even with the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the collection of various superior elixir-forming spiritual objects, there is no guarantee that one can achieve the immortal golden elixir 100%.
Transforming elixirs is not a re-examination of other texts, nor is it the content of promotion to elixir formation (it would be better to write about students who are in the upper, middle or lower levels of elixir formation). Transforming the elixir is equivalent to the reinforcement after forming the elixir, and the strength is improved.
They also said that the setting of the elixir is inconsistent and the elixir is dangerous. Why do you have to do it several times instead of getting it done in one go? This has been explained more than once in the previous Jingguo chapter. At that time, some people still found it verbose.
There is also an explanation in this chapter, which is specially [ ] given.
Explained for the last time. If anyone complains about this issue in the future, they will be banned directly. Too lazy to explain anymore.
(End of chapter)
