Cultivation Begins From The Desert

There are three steps for cultivators to form alchemy.

The first step is to condense the pill, condense the emptiness to transform the solid, condense the liquid to transform the pill, compress and condense the whole body's mana and true energy into a small golden pill the size of a chicken.

Almost 80% of the monks could not even complete this step when forming alchemy for the first time.

And if you can complete the first step "Congealing the Pill", you can proceed to the second step "Consolidating the Pill".

The so-called "healing pill" refers to the spirit that gave way to the Divine Court of the Purple Mansion, sinking into the Qi Sea of ​​the Lower Dantian and merging with the condensed golden pill. With the help of the refining power of the golden pill, the soul is transformed Become Jindan Primordial Spirit.

This step is very difficult. For monks who can complete the "Congealing Pill" step, the chance of success in this step is hardly even one-fifth.

However, according to the experience of senior monks, before forming alchemy, the purer the mana and the stronger the soul, there is a certain advantage in the step of "consolidating the alchemy", and the success rate will be much higher than that of monks who are not as good as yourself few.

If a monk can complete the two steps of "condensing the pill" and "melting the pill" one after another, then he can enter the third step, which is the last step "Cheng Dan".

"Cheng Dan" is to form a golden core. When the soul successfully transforms into a golden core and merges with the golden core, a strange change will occur, and the spiritual energy within hundreds of miles or even hundreds of miles will be gathered to form a celestial phenomenon of core formation. .

Although this step is at the end, it is the easiest step to complete in terms of difficulty.

As long as the alchemy cultivator prepares in advance, finds a retreat in the Lingshan cave, finds a monk who will protect him, and prevents himself from being disturbed by others after the alchemy celestial phenomenon appears, basically there is no possibility of failure.

After Zhou Yang studied the alchemy experience of several senior monks in Xiao Ying's cave for half a year, he hired a fifth-level cave to formally retreat and form alchemy.

The rent for a fifth-tier cave is as high as 8,000 low-grade spirit stones a year. Zhou Yang rented a cave of this level for retreat, obviously he still had a little luck in his heart.

It's a pity that his fluke heart was quickly shattered by the cruel reality.

After only retreating for more than a year, he didn't even complete the first step of "condensing the alchemy". His first alchemy ended in failure.

Zhou Yang's dantian was greatly impacted by the failure of forming the alchemy. For this reason, it took him nearly two years of recuperation to recover from the injury, so that it would not affect his normal fighting skills.

But if you want to try "Congealing Pill" again, it will take at least ten years.

This is because his first "congealing pill" process didn't last too long, and the impact after the failure was not big enough.

If it is those monks who have completed the "Congealing Pill" step, but fell on the second step of "Combining Pill", when their condensed real golden pill redisperses into liquid mana to fill the dantian, it will have a great impact on the dantian , Without a few decades of recuperation, don't even think about fully recovering the damaged dantian.

The failure of the first alchemy made Zhou Yang fully feel the difficulty of alchemy. He had to re-examine his alchemy plan and prepare for the worst.

At that time, he thought that after trying it once, he could use the spiritual objects in his hand to assist in the formation of alchemy to attack the golden elixir stage.

But now, he felt that he had to complete the "Congealing Pill" step by himself at least once, and then use those spiritual objects to maximize his confidence.

The pill formation failed, of course there is no need to live in the fifth-level cave, Zhou Yang retreated from the cave and re-lived in the Taoist Xiao Ying's cave, and has already begun to think about leaving the Haoyang Immortal City.

Zhou Guangxiang's matter, he had to go to see it in person before he could rest assured, and the old ghost Xu Song was always whispering in his ear that he wanted him to fulfill his original promise and put him back in the "Valley of Fallen Demons" to practice.

Of course, the main reason was that Taoist Xiao Ying kept whispering about leaving in his ears. As a Taoist, he had to fully respect the other party's opinion.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly. When Zhou Yang had agreed to leave, Jindan stage monk Zhao Hao suddenly came to visit him uninvited in person.

"Senior Zhao's presence really makes the humble house luxuriant. Please come in quickly, Ying'er, and serve Senior Zhao the best spiritual tea."

Outside the cave, the moment Zhou Yang saw Zhao Hao, his pupils shrank, and various thoughts emerged in his mind, and he immediately guessed the other party's intention.

As the saying goes, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall, Zhao Hao, a Jindan stage monk, suddenly came to visit Zhou Yang uninvited, which in itself is a very strange thing, let alone the Qingyuan Sword Sect I have been asking him to be a "substitute".

However, although various conjectures kept popping up in his mind, there was no sense of neglect in terms of etiquette, and he reached out his hand to invite the other party to sit in the cave very naturally, and let Taoist companion Xiao Ying serve tea.

Xiao Ying wasn't really a fool either, when she saw Zhao Hao coming to the door, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed instantly.

But in the face of Zhao Hao, a Jindan stage monk, she was very unwilling in her heart, and she didn't dare to refuse guests directly like she did to Jin Qu, so she could only obediently go down and prepare tea with a face full of reluctance.

After a while, she prepared the tea and brought it up, and stood directly behind Zhou Yang like a maid, without any intention of retreating.

This is her last stubbornness!

"Is this the Taoist companion of Zhou Daoyou? It really is beautiful and heavenly, with the appearance of a celestial being. Like Daoyou, he is a dragon and phoenix among men!"

As if Zhao Hao didn't see the unhappy expression on Xiao Ying's pretty face, after sitting down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then opened his mouth with a pleasant smile and praised the hostess first.

It's a pity that his move was useless against Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying has a pure and straightforward personality. Since she knew in her heart that Zhao Hao's visit was due to unkind people and good people would not come, she was first full of guard and resistance towards Zhao Hao. He will not relax at all because of his compliment.

With a straight face, she bowed lightly, and said without any emotion in her voice: "I don't dare to be praised so much by my seniors. Being able to serve my husband is already a blessing I have cultivated in my life." , in this life, I just want to grow old together with my husband, and live and die together!"

When Zhao Hao heard his words, he shook his head and said, "Xiao Xianzi's words are different!"

"My generation of monks, what we want is to live forever, to be free and easy!"

"Fairy Xiao and Daoyou Zhou, such immortal couples, can only pursue such a simple pursuit like ordinary people. They should pursue something higher, such as sharing together for a thousand years, and being happy for a thousand years."

Sharing together for thousands of years is something that only Jindan stage monks can do. If Zhao Hao came here in another time period and said this in another time period, Xiao Ying must have a different attitude.

Now, she just replied with a blank face: "Senior Zhao taught me that my concubine has been taught."

Zhao Hao was immediately annoyed by her words, and his face darkened instantly.

He is a dignified Jindan stage monk, willing to take the initiative to praise and compliment a purple mansion stage monk, it is already very face-saving.

Now, Xiao Ying repeatedly ridiculed her with barbed words, how could he not be angry.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Yang, who had been silent all this time, saw that things were faintly getting out of control, and hurriedly coughed and interjected: "Ahem, my wife is not good at words, and there are many conflicts. Here, I apologize to Senior on her behalf."

After he finished speaking, he slightly arched his hands, and then signaled to Taoist Xiao Ying with his eyes, signaling her not to speak again.

No matter how unhappy Xiao Ying was, she still wanted to give Zhou Yang face in front of outsiders. Seeing this, she was silent for a while, and bowed and said: "I am in a bad mood today, and I offended Senior Zhao with my reckless words. I also hope that Senior Zhao will forgive me."

Seeing this, Zhao Hao's expression softened a lot. He looked directly at Zhou Yang and said, "Friend Zhou, let's open the skylight and talk brightly. You probably have guessed a thing or two about Zhao's coming this time. Would you like to hear from Zhao about the details?"

When Zhou Yang heard the words, he immediately nodded and said, "Senior Zhao, please tell me."

"The matter is very simple. After eighteen years of continuous war, the side of the Great Bright Immortal Palace took the initiative to propose a death fight to end the war, and our high-level leaders in the alliance also agreed."

"Now the two sides still have one year to decide who will participate in the deathmatch. According to the rotation mechanism of each member sect in the alliance, our Qingyuan Sword Sect must choose one person to participate in the deathmatch this time, and it is best to win."

"Zhao is not afraid of fellow Daoist Zhou's jokes. Because the death fight is too dangerous, none of the late-stage cultivators of the Zifu in our sect dare to play, and based on Zhao's understanding of them, they want to win the death fight based on their strength. , I am afraid that the winning rate is less than 10%, which means that once they play, they are almost dead!"

"The deathmatch mode has been going on so many times. Even if the cultivators in the sect don't want to participate in it, Zhao and the head of the sect have a way to force them to draw lots to decide the candidate."

"But they can only complete the minimum task to die. Once they lose, our Qingyuan Sword Sect will have to bear one-third of the gambling resources lost!"

"Zhao and our Qingyuan Sword Sect don't want to let the disciples of the sect die in vain, and don't want to send a large amount of resources to the bastards of the Great Bright Immortal Palace for nothing, so Zhao will strongly recommend Zhou Daoyou to the head and several other senior brothers. , I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Zhou to help us against the light alliance and help our Qingyuan Sword Sect win a deathmatch!"

Zhao Hao looked at Zhou Yang with a solemn expression, and said his intention in a solemn tone.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Yang didn't react yet, but Xiao Ying's face was so pale that she couldn't help reaching out and grabbing Zhou Yang's arm and shouting tremblingly: "Zhou Lang, don't agree, please? I beg you, Don't take risks, okay?"

"Don't panic, lady, you know what your husband knows!"

Zhou Yang gently held the jade hand of the Taoist couple, and gave her a reassuring look to show her comfort.

Then he looked at Zhao Hao solemnly and said: "Thanks to Senior Zhao's attention, Zhou is very honored, but this matter is too dangerous, please forgive Zhou for not agreeing!"

Seeing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to refuse, it's not too late to make a decision after hearing what Zhao said about the reward!"

One and a half million words! Originally, it was planned that the protagonist will form the alchemy at this time, but now it seems that he has to write another twenty or thirty chapters before he can form the alchemy!
