Cliff Mountain, Dengyun Temple.
This is already the third month since Zhang Yan sealed the upper half of the mountain.
Three Four-Elephant Fruits have been used by Zhang Yan and only the last one is left in his hand at this time. The first two were all in vain due to problems in the final elixir, and all the energy of the Four Symbols that had been drawn away was dispersed.
And people from hundreds of miles around Changhu County near Duya Mountain have seen the wonder of four-colored clouds in the sky twice.
Will there be a third time?
Of course there is. Just waited a few days.
Zhang Yan asked himself that he had completely mastered all the methods of the Heaven-Repairing Pill for Tribulation Spirits. He couldn't say that he could just pick them up at his fingertips, but he could definitely say that he knew them by heart.
The first failure can be said to be caused by "hands-on".
The second time Zhang Yan asked himself that he had no problem with the technique. He felt that the reason for the failure was due to some flaws in the combination of medicinal materials, which was within the normal probability of failure. To put it bluntly, it's just luck.
Now for the last time, Zhang Yan still dare not say that it will definitely happen. Who knows if luck might not be on his side again?
When the third four-color cloud appeared a few days later and then disappeared, Zhang Yan's alchemy furnace was once again filled with a terrifying amount of the four-image spiritual energy. Then he completely entered a state of selflessness, without being nervous or thinking about anything except the elixir technique. Whether you fail or succeed in the end, that's all for the future.
The sweat on Zhang Yan's forehead began to slide down his cheeks in strands, his clothes were even soaked on his back, and his breathing became increasingly rapid and heavy. Even the alchemy furnace suspended between his hands was vibrating violently and slightly.
If the alchemy furnace is unstable, it means that the energy inside is not stable and is still too violent. Zhang Yan needs further comfort and the auxiliary materials in the alchemy furnace can absorb as much of this energy as possible.
Although this step may seem dangerous, Zhang Yan has survived the first two times without any danger, and this time it should not be an obstacle to him unless there is an accident.
Sure enough, after a day and night, Zhang Yan's breathing became steady again, and the alchemy furnace suspended in front of him no longer vibrated violently. The situation in the alchemy furnace was stabilized by him. Even this time there was an improvement compared to the previous two times, with the time shortened by about 20%.
The last step is to assemble the auxiliary materials in the elixir furnace that have absorbed a huge amount of energy into the elixir. It is also the most dangerous and difficult step. Zhang Yan failed at this step the first two times.
The difficulty is that there is too much energy in the alchemy furnace, and the auxiliary materials are just some simple medicinal materials. As carriers of huge energy, they are extremely fragile at this time, like rubber bands stretched to the limit. Improper external force may break them. And once one of the pillars breaks, what is left is an avalanche effect, the energy of the alchemy furnace will be dissipated, and the elixir will completely fail.
Zhang Yan is confident that the elixir formula will not go wrong. He was just lucky.
Piece by piece, glue by piece.
This process lasted seven days.
By the eighth day, Zhang Yan's face was already pale, and the continuous consumption was finally draining the spiritual energy from his body.
Success or failure is today.
When Zhang Yan's last alchemy formula was entered into the alchemy furnace, the remaining surge of energy also disappeared from the alchemy furnace. It was not scattered like the previous two times, but was completely "locked up." ".
After waiting for more than ten breaths, and after the situation in the alchemy furnace was determined to be completely stable, Zhang Yan's face showed a smile. He seized the last opportunity of the Four Elephant Fruit. The elixir in the elixir furnace successfully put together the last piece, turning its fragility into stability.
In this way, the elixir is finally completed!
The moment he opened the alchemy furnace, the clouds in the sky seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind from below. And a grape-sized pill with a halo of four colors was suspended in the pill furnace.
Putting it on the palm of his hand and examining it, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time understood that the opportunity for him to achieve the Fusion Realm in a short period of time had finally arrived. According to the amount of spiritual energy pulled down by the alchemist's Four Symbol Fruits, Zhang Yan secretly calculated that it should be enough for him to reach the limit state of the late stage of the Return to God Realm. As long as he can touch the barrier of the next big realm, Zhang Yan will be confident to break it.
The Tribulation Spirit Heaven-Building Pill was refined. Zhang Yan lifted the ban on the upper half of the mountain. He showed his face when one of his apprentices came to him, and then left the cliff mountain directly and returned to Langyuan City to pick up his younger sister Zhang Huiyuan. Together they went to Xiangkou to meet his mother and eldest brother Zhang Shun's family. , it was a reunion in a few months.
This time Zhang Yan lived in Xiangkou for a full month. The main purpose is to relax one's tense mental state during the previous alchemy, and at the same time replenish all the consumed spiritual energy.
It has been a long time since the family enjoyed their time together. Wang Lanping was so happy that she kept smiling all day long.
However, Wang Lanping always felt in her heart that her second son seemed a little different from the Yun Danfengqing who had everything under control in the past. It seemed that there was something uncertain in her heart that was bothering her.
However, Wang Lanping did not ask in the end. As an old mother, she has long been unable to get involved in the affairs of the second son. So what if you know? Even if Erzi said it, would she really understand? So I can only hide my worries in my heart.
It is said that a child is better known than his mother. Parents have a natural psychological reaction, or intuition, towards the children they have brought up since childhood. You can judge some of the emotions that the other person wants to hide deliberately from the extremely subtle demeanor and mental state of the other person.
Just as Wang Lanping felt. Although Zhang Yan is smiling happily and enjoying himself with his family without any worries, he is actually quite uneasy in his heart.
Now that the Tribulation Spirit Heaven-Building Pill has been refined, his mental state has recovered, and his body's spiritual energy has become abundant again. When all aspects of his condition are adjusted to the best, Zhang Yan is ready to take the pill and hit the Fusion Realm.
This is the reason why Zhang Yan feels nervous and uneasy. Breaking through the Fusion Realm was different from all the breakthroughs he had experienced in the past, both large and small. Because the integration state is a big hurdle, it has to go through nineteen heavenly tribulations, and it is only through the heavenly tribulations that the final transformation of the soul and the body can be completed.
Of course there is confidence. But having confidence does not mean that Zhang Yan has no respect for the word "Heavenly Tribulation". On the contrary, the higher the strength, the more awe you will have for the magnitude of heaven and earth, because you will be more aware of the gap between yourself and heaven and earth.
According to what the Taoist books say. The Nineteen Heavenly Tribulation is the first test that a monk experiences, and it is also the easiest to overcome.
One nine. The "one" among them represents the number of levels of heavenly tribulation, and one is the lowest level with the smallest power. Go up to the top level to nine.
One nine. The "nine" among them represents the number of thunderstorms in the heavenly tribulation. The highest is nine and the lowest is one. This is not fixed and varies from person to person. Of course, this is also related to the difficulty of thunder.
In addition, there are many detailed advices about heavenly tribulations in Taoist books. Zhang Yan is currently unable to determine these and can only write them down as a contingency.
