Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

In the Wuzhuang Temple, the cultivators were sitting in rows. Although they were gathered together, they had clear priorities.

The main seat in the center is suspended, with immortals and Buddhas on the left and right, a seat for the Great Merciful Bodhisattva, and a seat for the Lord of Yaochi Palace.

Then he went to the Dragon King of the South China Sea, Yama of Taishan, and the seats of immortal gods in the unified Qianjie Realm of the three continents of Nanzhan, Dongsheng, and Xiniu.

Although there are no true immortals of the Nine Tribulations, there are dozens and nearly hundreds of immortals under the Nine Tribulations. In addition, there are many disciples of Guanmen, Taoists in the academy, masters of various palaces and courtyards, and monks from various states and places. There are even millions of people, ranging from Mahayana fusion to Jindan Nascent Soul, all of them have a place.

Fortunately, in the blessed land of Cave Heaven and Xumi Mustard Seed, there is a universe of its own within the temple, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate it at all.

Such a grand occasion, not only the thousands of immortals coming to court, but also the gathering of true cultivators!

The cultivators sat down, suppressed their emotions, and waited for the arrival of the righteous master.

At this moment, in the backyard...

“Buzz!!!”

With a buzzing sound, the Taoist temple shook, auras of light rose into the sky, and a strange fragrance filled the air, causing thousands of trees to grow in the Wuzhuang Temple, and hundreds of grasses and flowers to bloom. It also shocked everyone's spirits and made all their pulses relax.

"This is……"

"Danxiang?!"

The cultivators' eyes narrowed and they looked in surprise: "Is the Great Immortal accomplished?"

"Just one sniff of the elixir fragrance makes all the pulses soothed!"

"Not to mention the improvement in magic power, there is also a feeling of cleansing the meridians and cutting down the marrow."

"Could this be..."

"The ultimate elixir?!"

All the cultivators were shocked and doubtful, and the immortal gods of Qianjie Realm were even more solemn.

The best elixir, ranked eighth level!

That person's alchemy cultivation has reached such a state?

If this is the way of alchemy, what about other skills and the creation of heavenly craftsmanship?

This Danyuan Conference may not only win people's hearts, but also show off its power!

A group of immortals looked solemn and said nothing.

Only everyone woke up and started talking about it.

But no matter what, it is not an obstacle.

After a while, the light of the fairy spirit subsided, and the strange fragrance of the elixir disappeared, leaving only the sound of footsteps coming into the hall.

Everyone looked up and followed the sound, only to see this appearance.

Taiqing fish tail crowned with yin and yang, neon colors and purple clothes, walking on the ladder to heaven, with a jade belt and clouds and dragons wrapped around his waist. He has the true body of an eternal green pine immortal, with an ageless and youthful face in Changchun. He is not like what can be found in the world of mortals. He practices the holy way with the world.

"Tao Master!"

"Emperor!"

"Brother!"

"Great Immortal!"

Seeing this, all the cultivators stood up one after another, and the gods and gods of the Qianjie Realm also bowed in great obeisance.

"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite!"

Xu Yang smiled, helped everyone up with his empty hands, and then walked to the main seat.

"I have achieved a little success in my Taoist practice, so I will hold the Danyuan meeting again to celebrate with heaven and congratulate with Tao. All of you who have come from afar are people who have achieved the same certification. Please drink this cup to the full and rejoice with me. !”

"Great Immortal Enormity!"

When all the cultivators heard this, they also followed the good deeds and drank the wine in the cup to the full, and started the banquet of alchemy.

Xu Yang put down his wine glass and went straight to the point without saying much.

"Three thousand years ago, I looked south and established the Taoist tradition of the Five Villages of Wanshou Mountain. I also planted thousands of trees, thousands of flowers, and hundreds of green grasses inside and outside the mountain, in the front and back yards!"

"The best among them must be the Wanshou fruit tree in my backyard, which has reached the seventh level of spiritual root."

"In addition to the Wanshou fruit tree, there is also a group of spiritual roots donated by Taoist friends. They have been cultivated for three thousand years. With the spiritual energy of the earthly immortal, they can also achieve fruitful results."

"I took the fruits of thousands of trees, combined them with the essence of the sun and moon, the aura of vegetation, the quintessence of heaven and earth, and used the furnace to refine the elixir and the cauldron of Yuan Gong, and finally obtained the elixir that the grass returns. Please appreciate it, fellow Taoists."

After saying that, he swept away the dust in his hand, and saw a myriad of spiritual lights falling on everyone's table, turning into a jade box, and in the box was a miraculous elixir.

"This is..."

"Grass for elixir?"

"The fruits of thousands of trees, the essence of hundreds of grasses and flowers, the essence of the sun and moon, the essence of heaven and earth."

"The top grade is Da Huan, the middle grade is Cao Huan, the bottom grade is Xiao Huan, and the lower grade is the elixir of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements, ranging from the combined Mahayana to the golden elixir Yuanying. Taking them all has great benefits."

"Prolong life, advance cultivation, enhance Taoist magic power, and even purify spiritual roots."

"There are millions of participants in this elixir meeting, but everyone can get one?"

"Thank you, Great Immortal!"

"The Ten Thousand Dao Academy has only been established for three thousand years, but it has become so exhausted?"

Although they are mentally prepared, many people still find it difficult to control themselves when they open the jade box and see the elixir in the box.

Although it is the upper realm of the Earthly Immortal, the path of cultivation is still very difficult. This grass-returning elixir has given countless people the hope of extending their lives, extending their lives, healing their wounds, and strengthening their roots. Each one has its own uses, but they are not all the same.

Some are for breakthrough, some are for saving lives, some are for themselves, some are for others...

All aspects of life are here!

All the cultivators sitting down here are indescribably surprised.

Looking at the people above, all the immortals and gods were also silent.

In the meeting of Dan Yuan, one million true cultivators will need millions of herbs to return the elixir, and the consumption can be imagined.

In other words, the Wandao Academy not only has the Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple foundation in the upper realm, but also opens up many lower realms with the power of the Ascension Platform.

Needless to say about the former, with the help of the Danyuan Meeting, it not only attracts people's hearts but also obtains material resources. All kinds of gifts can be turned into their own assets, especially those spiritual roots that can be planted.

Nowadays, inside and outside Wanshou Mountain, in front and behind Wuzhuang Temple, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, fairy fruits and trees, of fifth and sixth order, sparse and ordinary, and there are also many seventh-level ones.

These spiritual roots are thriving. Under the cultivation of Wuzhuang Temple and Wandao Academy, they continue to produce spiritual objects and put them into the use of alchemy arrays to enhance the strength and foundation of Wandao Academy.

As for the latter, the resources of the lower world, it is also needless to say. Although the earthly immortals are in the upper world, the world is vast and the resources are rich, but not everything is available. Some rare things are only produced in the lower world and are not seen in the immortal world.

The Wandao Academy has the power to control the ascension platform. In the past three thousand years, it has opened up one world after another, allowing the upper and lower worlds to exchange what they have and what they need. It also relies on the method of raising to engage in large-scale production, operation and sales, so that it can accumulate wealth and support the consumption of this Danyuan meeting.

Otherwise, even if there are gifts to make up for it, the Danyuan needs can also drag down a force, and it is simply unable to take out so much manpower and material resources to refine the supply of elixirs. In the end, this Danyuan meeting will either be unworthy of its name or end in vain.

Looking at the earthly immortal world, those with such a foundation are only the four major sects of immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons, and the current Wandao Academy. Even the four seas dragon palaces and Fengdu underworld, the first-class true immortal portals this time, cannot support such a stage.

In other words, the Wandao Academy has the capital to stand on equal footing with the Buddhist sects in the Heavenly Court and the Demonic Kingdom?

The immortals were speechless and pondered in their hearts.

At this moment, they heard another voice: "This Cao Huanzhi Pill was originally only of upper, middle and lower grade, fifth, sixth and seventh grades, but I made a small breakthrough in alchemy this time. The last furnace of immortal pills barely made it into the eighth grade of top-grade. Please taste it, fellow Taoists!"

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he waved his whisk, and dozens of spiritual lights flew out and landed in front of the seats of the immortals and gods in the calamity realm, such as the Great Mercy Bodhisattva, the Lord of Yaochi Palace, the Dragon King of the South Sea, and the Yama of Mount Tai.

"Top-grade immortal pill!"

The eyes of the immortals condensed and were silent.

Although they had expected it, such a result still made the immortals feel mixed.

The top-grade immortal pill is ranked eighth grade. To refine such an immortal pill, it means that the alchemy attainments of this Wandao Lord have entered the eighth grade boundary, and the name of the immortal master of the alchemy is no longer a bit of water.

Hundreds of arts and methods are extremely labor-intensive and can only be used as auxiliary, not as the main focus of specialization. Otherwise, one will definitely lose the big picture for the small, neglect cultivation, and waste time.

Therefore, whether it is refining pills and tools, or setting up uniforms and formations, the number of masters is very small.

This is even more true for the eighth-level immortals. Except for the nine-tribulation true immortals who have achieved immortality, have an endless life span, and have no heavenly tribulation hanging over their heads, almost no one can achieve this achievement.

But how many nine-tribulation true immortals are there in the earthly immortal world?

The six emperors of the heavenly court, the two masters of Buddhism, the emperor of Fengdu, the dragon sea of ​​the East Sea, and the demon gods and demons of the demon country and the demon abyss, at most, there are only more than ten.

Among these more than ten true immortals, there are only three or four who are proficient in the way of alchemy. This is the total number of eighth-level alchemists in the earthly immortal world.

The weight can be seen.

This master of the ten thousand ways has raised his attainments in the way of alchemy from the seventh level to the eighth level in just three thousand years.

With such talent and ability, how can the immortals not be silent?

In silence, the Yaochi Palace Master stretched out his hand and opened the jade box in front of him, and saw a bright light. In the misty clouds, a fairy pill appeared. There were patterns of the Great Dao on the outside, and vitality and destiny inside. The fragrance of the pill spread out. With a sniff, you can feel that all the meridians are unblocked, and the immortal's pure body is also somewhat refined.

"This pill..."

The Yaochi Palace Master looked at the jade box, then turned his eyes and praised: "The emperor's attainments in the way of alchemy are really heaven-defying. Except for the Emperor of Dongji, Yao Ji has never seen a third person in the world of earthly immortals!"

The Great Mercy Bodhisattva on the other side also spoke: "With the fruit of longevity as the main ingredient, and hundreds of herbs and flowers, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the essence of heaven and earth as supplements, the monarch and ministers assist, and the alchemy furnace refines, this top-grade fairy pill is created. Daoyou's attainments in the way of alchemy are already top-notch in the world of earthly immortals."

The words were full of praise.

Xu Yang smiled, shook his head and said: "You two are too kind. I am new to this realm and still have many shortcomings. How can I be called the top?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After these words came out, the immortals were silent again.

Although humility is not a bad thing, excessive humility can sometimes be embarrassing.

Although the way of the alchemy cauldron emphasizes the monarch, ministers, assistants and messengers, and the mysterious creation, it is still a matter of emphasis, and not everyone can do it.

Theoretically, when alchemists refine pills, they can use the pill method to extract the essence of the medicine, the monarch, ministers, assistants and messengers, and the mysterious creation, and use inferior spiritual objects and low-level materials to refine high-level pills.

This is the theoretical situation. It is reasonable to refine the sixth-level pill with fifth-level materials and the seventh-level pill with sixth-level materials.

But sometimes reality is unreasonable. When using inferior spiritual objects and low-level materials to refine high-level elixirs, the probability of failure is extremely high. It is okay when it is low-level, and the loss can be borne, but when it comes to high-level, the cost of a failure is very painful.

Therefore, although there are several true immortals in the earthly immortal world, whose attainments in alchemy have reached the eighth level, this eighth level is not watered down. They use eighth-level or even ninth-level immortal materials, and the quality of the materials guarantees the success rate of alchemy, and finally refines the eighth-level immortal elixir.

Like the current Cao Huandan, it is rare to use the seventh-level main medicine mixed with a dry fifth-level and sixth-level auxiliary materials to finally refine the eighth-level immortal elixir. There are three or four eighth-level alchemists in the earthly immortal world, and only one or two people can do it, such as the Dongji Emperor mentioned by the Yaochi Palace Master.

The same eighth-level alchemist, the same eighth-level immortal elixir, some rely on the quality of materials, and some rely on the alchemy technology. It is needless to say which one is higher and which one is lower.

Therefore, the words of the Yaochi Palace Master and the Great Mercy Bodhisattva are not a bit watered down, but are sincere praise.

But this Wan Dao Lord...

Fortunately, those two "counterfeit goods" were not here, otherwise seeing him being so "modest", I'm afraid they would be furious.

How can you show off like this?

Now that you occupy Wuzhuang Temple and have a few seventh-level spiritual roots, you can refine the eighth-level immortal pill. If you are allowed to enter the Tongtian Secret Realm and obtain a batch of eighth- and ninth-level materials, wouldn't you be able to refine the ninth-level immortal pill?

Why don't you take advantage of the wind and fly up to 90,000 miles?

A group of gods from the Tribulation Realm secretly cursed in their hearts, but they still had bright smiles on their faces.

"Fellow Taoist is too modest!"

"If this kind of alchemy method is not the best, then why is it the best in the earthly immortal world?"

"My fellow Taoist is astonishingly talented and extremely knowledgeable, and we cannot match him!"

Although the words of the cultivators are just for the occasion, they also come from the sincerity.

"ha!"

Xu Yang smiled and didn't say much. He just twisted the elixir and said, "Fellow Taoists, please come!"

After saying that, he took the grass-returning elixir and took it into his mouth.

"please!"

When the immortals saw this, they were not suspicious and drank the elixir to feel the mystery.

Once the elixir enters the abdomen, creation will be full of vitality. Even if it is the body of a fairy, it will also have a sense of floating, like falling into a sea of ​​clouds and dreaming for a moment.

"This elixir..."

The Great Merciful Bodhisattva closed his eyes slightly, cultivated for eight kalpas, and instantaneously transformed the power of the medicine, and then he exclaimed in admiration: "This is the elixir of good fortune, the method of life, the door of mystery, and it is better than the poor monk's Jade Dew in the Pure Vase." ah!"

On the other side, the Palace Master of Yaochi also said: "The way of the Alchemy Cauldron is the work of harmony and creation. The day after tomorrow seizes the power of the innate. It took the emperor thousands of years to reach this state. I am afraid that no one in the earthly immortal world will be able to surpass him in the future."

"ha!"

The conversation between the two made Xu Yang smile, seeming to be very pleased with it, and said to everyone present, "This elixir is peaceful. All fellow Taoists, feel free to take it, taste this elixir, and then study the Taoist teachings."

After everyone heard this, they just woke up from a dream. They looked at the immortals and the elixir in front of them, and they felt no taste for a moment.

For some things, I am afraid of comparison, and the greater the comparison, the greater the gap.

But there is no way, people wear what clothes, what horses drive what cars.

The cultivators calmed down and took the elixir, entering Linglong into their stomachs. Immediately, vitality was created, and the limbs and bones moved all over the body.

Xu Yang smiled and swept the dust, covering the Wanshou Mountain up and down the Wuzhuang Temple. The "Eternal Evergreen Formation" inside and outside Wuzhuang Temple was in motion, attracting the spiritual energy of thousands of trees, helping everyone dissolve the elixir and absorb more medicinal essence.

After tens of thousands of years of hard work, he obtained the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra and the Tusita True Edict, he finally pushed his alchemy cultivation to the eighth level, and used the spiritual materials from Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain to refine the eighth level elixir. .

In the eyes of outsiders, his alchemy skills are already at the top of the immortal world.

But his family knows his own affairs, and his attainments in alchemy are not much better than those of other eighth-level alchemists. The reason why he can use seventh-level spiritual materials to refine eighth-level elixirs is, firstly, due to his skill characteristics, and secondly, due to chance. A bit of a "lucky" element.

If he were allowed to practice again, there would be no guarantee of success.

Therefore, what he said before was really not to show off, but that he had just entered the eighth level, and there were still many shortcomings that needed to be polished to be perfect.

Once the eighth-level elixir method is perfected, not only is the output of the eighth-level elixir guaranteed, but even the ninth-level elixir has some hope of being refined with enough materials.
