Three hundred years later.
In a quiet room.
Lu Zhong's face was solemn, and silver-gray light shone on his fingertips. He looked at the elixir seedling in front of him and hit it on it without hesitation.
"Crash!"
I saw a green light blooming, and the seedlings grew rapidly.
The age of the medicine has also increased from one to two years. With the continuous injection of power, the age of this elixir has rapidly increased to ten years.
However, at this moment, the elixir that had just reached the age of a thousand years suddenly turned into countless flying ash with a bang.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong's eyes darkened slightly.
"Failed again... What's the problem?"
Some time ago, he had a sudden thought. Since he had mastered the laws of time and space, why not cultivate the elixir for ripening on his own?
If the "Towering Fortune Dew" can be successfully realized, there will be no need to worry about elixirs in the future.
The results of subsequent attempts also proved that the power of pseudo-laws is indeed effective on elixirs, but every time the elixirs are ripened to the end, they all end in failure.
After much thought, he could not figure out the reason for the failure.
"Perhaps I used too much force..."
Lu Zhong made a secret with his hands, and the rays of light condensed on his fingertips again, and shone with silver and gray light.
This time, he deliberately controlled the power.
With a flick of his finger, he hit a Polygonatum seedling.
Just like before, Polygonatum began to grow rapidly, and it grew to a year in an instant, and the medicinal fragrance became more intense.
Wisps of spiritual light filled it, and it soon transformed into a spiritual medicine.
"There's a show!"
Lu Zhong was excited, seeing that the elixir was not as corrupt as before, and seemed to see hope of success, so he continued to pour strength into Huang Jing.
puff!
Huang Jing exploded and turned into countless flying ash.
"What is the reason?"
Lu Zhong couldn't think of an answer for a while.
"If you work behind closed doors, you are destined to get no answer. Maybe you should ask Ye Panyan. This person is well-informed and may be able to give an answer."
】
...
Lu Zhong walked out of the quiet room and came to the inside of the fortress.
Today's Dao Alliance is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, especially after Ye Panyan advanced to merge and took in a fallen immortal again, it became even more popular.
In today's Linghuan world, the Dao Alliance is regarded as a force that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, the popularity inside the fortress is also increasing day by day, and there are intensive exchanges of Taoist monks, including many Void Refining and Fusion monks.
Lu Zhong couldn't help but sigh, the Taoist alliance was now completely established.
He soon arrived at Tiange, and it happened that Ye Panyan was also there.
After some insinuations, Lu Zhong quickly learned the reason for his failure. In his familiar words:
"Matter will not disappear out of thin air, nor will it be created out of thin air."
The reason is that the power of pseudo-law alone is not enough to maintain the growth of the elixir, unless it is given the things needed for growth to meet its growth needs.
After returning, Lu Zhong tried again.
It was found that even if the nutritional conditions are met, the elixir cannot be ripened quickly. It is limited by the absorption speed of spiritual plants. Once it exceeds a certain growth limit, it will instantly turn into fly ash.
Finally, he experimented with the ripening limit of Huang Jing.
Under the premise that the growth conditions are met, the medicine can only be ripened for ten days at most every day, which can be simply regarded as increasing the growth rate by ten times.
In other words, Lu Zhong needs to ripen a Polygonatum sibiricum plant that is ten thousand years old for a thousand years.
This result is somewhat unsatisfactory.
It would take a thousand years for one main plant to grow, and it would probably take nearly ten thousand years to put together a batch of elixir ingredients.
But according to the information Lu Zhong learned, even though it seems so laborious, it is still an opportunity that outside monks in the integration stage long for and cannot get.
In the absence of elixirs, even if the monk himself is extremely talented and will not encounter a bottleneck in his cultivation, he still has to meditate for tens of thousands of years in his spiritual veins, like a spirit bound to the earth, in order to push his cultivation to a perfect state. period peak.
If there is a suitable elixir, this period can be greatly shortened.
Or half, or a third.
This is also why you can see the end of the integration stage at a glance.
Without the heaven-defying qualifications and the legacy of ancestors or predecessors, even if the descendants break through to the integration stage, their future will be hopeless and they can only give up on running the sect.
"According to this, I am lucky?"
Lu Zhong felt a little dumbfounded by this conclusion.
Regardless of whether the elixir for ripening is useless or not.
After all, it is a practical way. It is better than staying in seclusion in the spiritual veins and becoming a lifeless earth-bound spirit.
Although the method is available, it is not easy to find a suitable prescription.
When it comes to the integration stage, the elixirs required are even rarer.
There is simply no way around this.
Even if Lu Zhong had a Taoist alliance to rely on, he could only lower his demands again and again, as long as most of the elixirs in the elixir could be ripened and they were not extinct.
Even so, he still hasn't been satisfied.
In the end, he had no choice but to leave in person.
...
at the same time.
The Linghuan world is also turbulent.
Qiankun Danyuan.
This is the name of what Lu Zhong previously obtained from the Holy Land of Xuan Chi.
I don't know who or which force spread the effect of the Qiankun Danyuan. The fallen immortals who had been silent were now ready to take action again.
As said before:
Only fallen immortals who cannot become immortals will always persist in becoming immortals.
Suddenly, the storm surged.
Surrounding the Qiankun Danyuan, various forces seemed to smell a fishy smell and gathered in the Holy Land of Xuanchi. However, when they learned that the Danyuan was stolen, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Would such an important thing be stolen by Yi Lianxu?
But they didn't know that although Xuan Chi Holy Land was aware of the value of the elixir at first, they didn't know its true function. They only understood it after the news spread.
That's why Dan Yuan and Heart Burial Flower are regarded as the same.
Now the focus shifts.
But after a group of powerful men found Bai Yefan, they discovered that this man had been dead for a long time due to the failure in overcoming the tribulation, but the Qiankun Danyuan had disappeared.
All of a sudden, the thread stopped.
.......
Black Cauldron Domain.
Lu Zhong transformed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged monk wearing Taoist robes and arrived here.
Recently, under the influence of Qiankun Danyuan, he has been tortured by those deduction techniques.
One day a small push, three days a big rope.
If it is not an advanced combination, you can use the law of life to transfer the pressure, or you will be positioned by the fallen immortal like before.
Even so, it also made him extremely annoyed.
Fortunately, there is good news for hedging.
Lu Zhong came to the Black Cauldron Territory to find a seventh-level elixir recipe—Dragon Tiger True Ultimate elixir. This elixir was once extremely famous hundreds of thousands of years ago. Later, as high-level elixirs gradually became extinct, its reputation declined, but it is still a first-class sect-suppressing heritage.
It is not easy to get it.
For this reason, Lu Zhong had many negotiations with the holder of this elixir, the overlord of the Black Cauldron Domain, the Black Cauldron Sect. The other party was looking at his combined cultivation, and after offering a price for a Jue Nian Fruit, the Black Cauldron Sect was willing to let go.
The two parties have agreed to trade after the Black Cauldron Patriarch comes out of seclusion.
