Refining Taoism and ascending to immortality

After Zhou Chen appeared, he looked sideways. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the young man standing in front of the bronze mirror and was startled.

In his eyes, his nephew was filled with a ray of light. When the sky illuminated it, it was as thin as a light golden gauze. , change at will, back and forth.

As soon as the inspiration from outside touched, there was a sonorous sound immediately, and thin and dense golden light splashed, containing sharpness and murderous intent.

Zhou Chen is one of the most promising Nascent Soul cultivators in the Zhou family of Luochuan. His eyesight is so good that he can tell right away that his nephew, whom he hasn’t seen for a while, is in the "Spiritual Life Gold Book". Great progress has been made.

At the level of Qi refining, it is very rare to be able to achieve such amazing attainments in the "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book", which is one of the Five Qi and Four Methods of Zhenyi Sect, even among the Zhenyi Sect where geniuses gather. To exaggerate, almost no one can do this.

"It's a good seedling."

Zhou Chen's eyes turned, as crystal clear as jade.

The nephew in front of me has just started practicing the "Spiritual Life Gold Book", and he taught it to him personally. Calculate the time, how long has passed this time, and the other party has cultivated the "Spiritual Life Gold Book" to such an extent that his talent is more terrifying than anyone thought.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen's heart moved again.

In the past, my nephew Zhou Qing had laid a deep foundation in the "Transformation of Dragons" in his clan. Being able to make waves in the Luanshiwan Water Mansion shows that his attainments in the "Hua Long Diagram" are unparalleled among the younger generation of the entire Luochuan Zhou clan.

Now that I have practiced one of the Five Qi and Four Methods of Zhenyi Sect, the "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book" to such an extent, it is absolutely perfect, and metal and water are interdependent.

After condensing the elixir, a high-grade golden elixir is in sight.

If the "medicine" for condensing the elixir you are looking for is good, the level of the condensing elixir may become a second-grade golden elixir.

In that case, let alone the victory in the competition with Wuzhong, with the support of the Luochuan Zhou family, he would have the opportunity to challenge the top ten disciples in the sect in the future.

With this judgment, Zhou Chen's face reflected the light, and was filled with a jade color, and he said: "You have made great progress in the mysterious skill of "Spiritual Life Gold-falling Book", and the condensation of pills is about to be put on the agenda."

"Thanks to Brother Xuan for taking me to Phoenix Mountain and witnessing the competition between the top ten disciples in the sect." Zhou Qing seemed to think of the flashes of swords and shadows on Phoenix Mountain not long ago, as well as the mysterious power and supernatural powers. He slowly exhaled and said: " After I opened my eyes, my cultivation became smoother for some reason.”

Zhou Chen nodded. He was also very concerned about the competition between the top ten disciples in the sect. Once the seats of the top ten disciples really changed, it would have a great impact. Maybe they could fish in troubled waters.

Unfortunately, like most competitions between the top ten disciples in the sect, the selection of the top ten disciples in this year's sect was still uneventful, and no new top ten disciples were promoted.

Zhou Chen's thoughts flashed across his mind, he looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Work hard, and you won't be a spectator when you go to Phoenix Mountain in the future."

Having said this, he paused and continued: "The main reason why I am contacting you this time is to obtain the weapon refining materials you mentioned last time."

"Item refining materials."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. With his current level of cultivation, he was qualified to refine the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd. However, due to lack of materials, he never took action.

After all, the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd is one of the rare offensive and defensive magic weapons mentioned in "The Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture". To refine it, hundreds of materials are needed.

"We have basically found all the materials for refining the weapon."

Zhou Chen's voice was deep. The materials Zhou Qing needed this time were various, some of which were not even available in the Luochuan Zhou clan.

There is no other way but to spend a lot of effort to obtain it from the Zhenyi Sect.

The family’s contribution is really not small.

That is, Zhou Qing is not only a true successor, but also has the hope of becoming a disciple of Zhenren Guande. He has also practiced the "Hua Long Tu", which will be of great use in the future. Otherwise, if it were another person, even Zhou Xuan, there would be no one in the clan. It's impossible to act like this.

"That's great."

Zhou Qing's face was filled with joy. There were other materials for refining the Sea-Swallowing Sky-Swallowing Gourd, but three of them were very rare, namely Xianglong Stone, Yunponi, and Yuhua Lingkong. He had never even heard of these three materials when he was an inner disciple.

It was only after he was promoted to a true disciple and his authority in Luochuan Zhou Family and Zhenyi Sect was greatly improved that he learned the origin of these three materials.

They are indeed rare and hard to find.

"However," after Zhou Qing was overjoyed, Zhou Chen still said: "Whether we have found a suitable one among the Luochuan Zhou Clan or the Zhenyi Sect, Yuhua Lingkong, do you want to consider replacing it with other materials? ?”

"There are materials in the clan that are a little worse than the Feathered Spiritual Sky, but if you want to refine ordinary magic weapons, they are definitely enough."

Zhou Qing just thought about it and shook his head in refusal.

What he wants to refine is a natal magic weapon. After the refinement is successful, it must grow with him. What he needs is to keep improving, and there must be no fooling around.

After all, for the natal magic weapon, the slightest difference now will be more difficult to make up for in the future.

"In this case," Zhou Chen took a look and understood Zhou Qing's choice, and said, "We don't have the Feathering Spirit Sky here, but there are other places. There is the Feathering Spirit Sky in Yuping Mountain, and it is the best."

"Yuping Mountain."

Hearing these three words, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows. He knew this name, and it was a villa belonging to the Yuan Chen Sect.

Yuan Chen Sect, one of the Upper Xuan Sects, the power in Shan Lun Sect is no longer inferior to Zhen Yi Sect.

To obtain such heavenly and earthly treasures as Yuhua Lingkong from the Yuanchen sect's other palaces is definitely not a matter of a few sentences, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

"The clan elder has a relationship with a powerful figure in the Yuanchen sect. If you really want to become a spiritual being, ask the clan elder to come forward and say hello to you." Above the door above Zhou Chen's head, astral clouds rose and fell, and sparks burst out. Said: "But even in Yuping Mountain, Yuhua Lingkong is not an ordinary product, and it cannot be leaked easily. The top Yuhua Lingkong is more strictly controlled. A greeting from the clan elder may not be 100% effective."

Zhou Qing understood this truth, but the refining of the natal magic weapon, the Sea-Swallowing Gourd, was too important, so he still said: "I want to give it a try."

"That's fine." When Zhou Chen said this, he changed the topic and said: "You have reached the current state of cultivation, and it's time to think about condensing elixirs. Are you going to form elixirs in the sect, or go out for a walk? ?”

After the monks have completed their Qi refining, they will try to condense the elixir and hit the realm of elixir transformation. But to succeed, on the one hand, you need to sense your body's opportunity to condense the elixir, and on the other hand, you need the "medicine" to condense the elixir.

When it comes to condensing pills, the true disciples of Zhenyi Sect generally have two choices.

Either stay in the mountain gate and have everything prepared by the forces behind you, or go out to experience and collect outside.

The advantage of condensing elixir in the mountain gate is obvious, that is, it is safe and everything is under control. Anyway, the forces behind him have prepared the elixir-condensing medicine. Once the monk senses his own elixir-condensing energy, he can rush to close the elixir condensation. Even during the elixir condensation process, there are people protecting the law to eliminate possible crises to the greatest extent and ensure the smooth elixir condensation.

But such a choice is safe, but it also has shortcomings, that is, it is impossible to achieve a kind of excellence, a kind of perfection, and a kind of limit.

First, since the Zhenyi sect, as a Shangxuan sect, would have prepared the medicine in advance. However, when taking this kind of pill, the "medicine" effect will be more or less affected, which will then affect the grade of the pill.

Secondly, elixir condensation requires opportunity. Only when you have perfected your Qi refining and truly sensed the opportunity for elixir condensation can you take medicine to condense elixir. As for the chance of condensing elixirs, according to the conclusion of generations of monks, it is much harder and slower to find opportunities while staying in a sect than to go out and experience them.

Of course, there are also disadvantages to going out to form elixirs, that is, outside, without the protection of the sect, you will inevitably encounter danger.

The choice between them is decided by each person.

Zhou Qing had already thought about this, so when he heard Zhou Chen's question, he immediately replied: "Uncle Six, I will travel outside to find the "medicine" to condense the pill."

His words sounded calm, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a kind of determination after deep thought.

Don't be impulsive or follow the crowd, but make your own decisions after careful consideration.

Zhou Chen listened and nodded slightly.

Those who condense elixirs in the sect will also have high-grade elixirs. But throughout the thousands of years of the Zhenyi Sect, the group of people with the highest level of elixir cultivation were those who practiced elixir condensation outside.

After all, condensing elixirs is not just about taking "external medicine" after completing the Qi refining process. Having a tempered heart and a firmness in seeking the truth can take elixirs to a higher level.

Staying in the sect all the time, everything is protected by the forces behind it and the sect. Without experiencing the ups and downs outside, it is difficult to have such an understanding.

All Zhou Chen's thoughts passed away in a flash, and he kept a calm expression on his face as he organized his words and said: "Since you plan to go out to practice and search for medicine to condense pills, you will definitely pass by the Yuping Mountain area. When the time comes, go to the Yuanchen Sect in person Yupingshan Villa, see if you can get a top-notch Yuhua Lingkong.”

"good."

Zhou Qing agreed, but he knew that a foreign medicine needed to condense the elixir was in the Yuncang Sea area north of Yuping Mountain.

If he wants to enter the Yuncang Sea area to get medicine, he will inevitably pass by Yuping Mountain, which is just the way.

"That's it." When Zhou Chen said this, he had nothing to say, and said directly: "I will first send you the collected weapon refining materials, and then prepare for you to leave the sect. matters.”

If an outstanding disciple like Zhou Qing wants to go out to practice Condensing Pills, he can't just go out on his own. The Luochuan Zhou family also has to prepare for him and leave behind him.

After all, Zhou Qing went out to condense the pills, not to look for danger.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chen waved his sleeves and the figure disappeared. The mirror light that almost overflowed just now shrank at an extremely fast speed and returned to the bronze mirror.

Zhou Qing took a look, took a step forward, put the talisman on the bronze mirror again, and then came outside.

The sky outside was just right, and the melancholy water spirit came over and fell on the steps. It was like a pearl tree, covered with colored glaze, and had thousands of flowers and stamens in full bloom. A sound like the sound of nature came out. Listening to the ears, it made people energetic. A jolt.

His eyes seemed to have gained a layer of color and became hazy.

If a monk wants to condense elixir, he must find his own opportunity to condense elixir. And the more mysterious mystical skills are practiced and the better the foundation is laid, the harder it is to find this opportunity to condense the elixir.

In the current state, if you stay in the blessed land to practice every day, or walk around the mountain gate, you will most likely not find an opportunity to condense the elixir.

Only by walking out of the mountain gate as early as possible, watching the mountains, listening to the water, admiring the snow, meeting fellow Taoists, slaying evil spirits, and having adventures, will it be easier to find the opportunity to condense the elixir.

After having this idea, Zhou Qing suddenly felt that his soul was lightened, as if a kind of restraint had been removed from thin air, and he had an indescribable freedom and agility.

He thought about it and made a decision.

I have been staying in the sect, and it is stable, but I have to do things step by step according to the sect rules. If I stay for a long time, there are invisible constraints on myself.

Regardless of one's own nature, or the true meaning of the Xuan Gong of Biyou Palace's "Yuanhuang Dragon Transformation Picture", one not only needs such order, but also needs a kind of freedom and freedom to act according to one's own mind.

Practicing Taoism, going against the will of heaven, and following one's heart, each stage has its own needs, and the balance is in one's heart.

Zhou Qing figured out one thing, and his heart was relieved. He did not practice deliberately, but stood here, quietly waiting for the people in the clan to send him the materials for refining the Sea-covering and Heaven-swallowing Gourd.

Half an hour later, Zhou Qing sensed the ripples of water outside Taihe Island, and the sound of the collision of qi came through.

His eyes moved, and he used the token to open the restrictions of the cave. He immediately saw a colorful treasure deer flying from a distance. There was a person on the back of the deer, with his hands in front of his mouth, like a trumpet, shouting: "Zhou Qing, Island Master Zhou, open the door."

"Haha."

Hearing this not unfamiliar voice, Zhou Qing smiled and used a rainbow bridge to lead the other party over.

Not long after, the treasure deer came down along the bridge. It was nine feet tall and more than ten feet long. Its four hooves were stepping into the air. Every time it landed, there were clouds and mists blooming like lotus flowers, which was magnificent.

On the treasure deer, a young man in a striped robe sat cross-legged, with a round face and small eyes. After arriving at Taihe Island, he looked around and exclaimed in amazement.

"It's different, it's really different." The young man jumped off the treasure deer, and seeing that the treasure deer didn't care about its master at all, he let out a joyful cry, and went to a spiritual spring that emerged from the ground to drink in big gulps, and swung his tail happily, saying: "In the blink of an eye, you have gone from Qifu to the top blessed land. This blessed land is really good. There are spiritual essences in any spiritual spring, which makes Xiaojiu unable to raise his head."

This treasure deer of his has a gentle temperament, flies very fast, and has a certain combat power. It is a very good means of transportation. But this treasure deer especially likes pure spiritual energy, and it is not easy to raise it. It takes a lot of effort.

If he also has such a blessed land, it would be great, and he can raise it freely.

"I didn't expect that Sixth Uncle asked you to come." Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Chun in front of him. He still looked the same as before, very lively, but after not seeing him for such a long time, his realm and cultivation had also improved, and he had made great progress.

Of course, he couldn't compare with himself. But among the young people of Luochuan Zhou family, he was not bad.

"When you opened the mansion, I happened to have something and didn't come, so when I heard Sixth Uncle said he was going to send something, I volunteered and rushed to come." Zhou Chun was still looking around, and the more he looked, the more he liked him, and the more he envied him.
