Seeking Immortality

On this day, the wind was light and the sky was bright and gentle, which seemed to indicate that this day would be extremely peaceful.

But things are unpredictable. When the people of Jiuhua Sect were chatting leisurely or meditating quietly, suddenly, they all felt a strong spiritual fluctuation coming from the top of Jiuhua Mountain. Under the strong spiritual fluctuation, many Jiuhua Sect members who were practicing almost went astray because of the interference of the spiritual vibration.

With their minds shaken, both the elders of Jiuhua and the ordinary disciples of Jiuhua stood up, went out of the house and looked up at the top of Jiuhua Mountain, but found that the Jiuhua sky, which was originally not peaceful, suddenly became turbulent, and a large number of white clouds gathered on the top of Jiuhua Mountain. The sun's rays reflected the rays of the sun, which was very beautiful.

As the fluctuation of spiritual energy became stronger, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly came from the top of Jiuhua Mountain, and instantly filled every corner of Jiuhua. This pressure was so strong that ordinary disciples of Jiuhua who had not reached the Jindan stage had the urge to worship at the top of Jiuhua Mountain.

Then, the spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth began to focus on the top of Jiuhua Mountain. For a time, the light on the top of Jiuhua Mountain was devastating and colorful, making it impossible to see. Under the regular collision of the spiritual energy of the king of heaven and earth, there was a sound similar to fairy music coming from the top of Jiuhua Mountain, and it came from a very far distance in a short time.

If Jiuhua Mountain was not helped by the "Nine Extremes Formation", these changes on the top of Jiuhua Mountain would probably have to spread to a radius of 100 miles.

Those elders and elite disciples of Jiuhua who had reached the Jindan stage, or disciples with a wider range of knowledge, were surprised to see these changes. Because these changes represent that the cultivators have broken through the Lingji stage and reached the Jindan stage. From then on, they have been refined to the extreme by the spiritual energy of the weather, and turned to the path of understanding the way of heaven.

In fact, in the past ten years, a total of eight disciples in Jiuhua have successfully formed a pill, but because they were practicing in the "Jiuji Cave" when they formed a pill, under the obstruction of the "Jiuji Formation", no one felt anything unusual. The elders of the "Hua" generation may have successfully formed a pill hundreds of years ago. Or because they could not form a pill and their life span was exhausted, so the Jiuhua disciples were so surprised when they saw these anomalies.

This kind of strange phenomenon caused by someone forming a pill has not appeared in Jiuhua Mountain for hundreds of years.

While full of surprise, the Jiuhua disciples were speculating who this person who formed a pill was. The elite disciples who practiced in the "Jiuji Cave" and increased their skills but failed to form a pill kept appearing in their minds, but few people thought it would be Xu Qingfan.

Originally, Xu Qingfan was also a famous figure in Jiuhua Mountain, but in these years, Xu Qingfan has been practicing in seclusion, and he has gradually disappeared from everyone's sight with his low profile.

Those who knew that Xu Qingfan was practicing in seclusion at the top of Jiuhua Mountain, such as Jin Qinghan, Feng Qingtian, Dongfang Qingling and others, were all shocked. They knew Xu Qingfan's qualifications best, but they didn't expect that Xu Qingfan would enter the Jindan realm just one step later than them without entering the "Jiuji Cave" to practice. For a while, they were filled with incredible feelings.

In order to confirm their guesses, except for Feng Qingtian. Other people who were familiar with Xu Qingfan all hesitated for a moment and flew quickly to the top of Jiuhua Mountain.

Flying to the top of Jiuhua Mountain with them, there were also some curious Jiuhua elders.

But just when they were about to reach the top of Jiuhua Mountain, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, blocking them a hundred feet away from the top of Jiuhua Mountain. This barrier was so strong that even with the power of all of them, it could not be shaken at all.

Then, an extremely old voice suddenly reached their ears.

"Xu Qingfan is at the critical moment of Dan formation. Don't disturb him."

Hearing this, the faces of the Jiuhua elders changed, and then they turned around and flew back to their caves without stopping, and met those who were familiar with Xu Qingfan. For example, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang looked at each other helplessly, and then stood in the air and waited silently.

At the same time, in front of the Hualing Palace on the waist of Jiuhua Mountain, Zhang Hualing was also silently watching the changes on the top of Jiuhua Mountain with a complicated expression.

"Master, is this the purpose of letting Xu Qingfan accompany you? Have you seen through the condition of my body and have you started to prepare for the future of Jiuhua?"

Zhang Hualing sighed silently, and then never looked at the top of Jiuhua Mountain again, but turned and walked towards the depths of Hualing Palace.

At the same time, on the roof of the Feng family's old house, Feng Qingtian looked at the changes on the top of Jiuhua Mountain with doubts in his eyes. Unlike Jin Qinghan and others, he had a mysterious connection with Xu Qingfan and was sure that the person who was forming a Dan was Xu Qingfan.

However, he really couldn't imagine how Xu Qingfan, with his qualifications, could successfully form a pill without ever entering the "Jiuji Cave" to practice.

But these doubts were only fleeting. Feng Qingtian just silently looked at the top of Jiuhua Mountain for a while, then quietly turned back to the house to continue practicing, but he didn't go to Xu Qingfan to inquire and congratulate like Jin Qinghan and others.

If Feng Qingtian still had a little fantasy about friendship before, then for Feng Qingtian now, he has shouldered too much and has no spare energy to accept friendship.

But at the top of Jiuhua Mountain, Xu Qingfan himself, who caused these changes, did not notice anything wrong at all. In fact, his mind at this time had fallen into the ethereal world like never before. It seemed that everything around him could be clearly sensed, but But nothing reached his heart.

On this day, Xu Qingfan didn't notice anything wrong. He just finished a retreat and rested for two or three days before continuing to retreat.

But as soon as he circulated the spiritual energy in his body, his mind suddenly began to become void, as if his soul suddenly dissipated and then quickly merged into the world.

In a situation where his soul seemed to have dissipated, Xu Qingfan did not feel the slightest fear. He just felt that this was a matter of course. He only felt that the heaven and earth were his soul at this time, and his soul merged with the heaven and earth, and any changes in the entire Jiuhua Mountain. He could clearly feel the movement of grass and grass within a radius of dozens of miles.

Even the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were clearly imprinted in his mind. He could even clearly predict the next change of spiritual energy or heaven and earth. He just felt that everything about Zhi was in his mind.

This is exactly the state that occurs when a monk reaches the elixir-forming stage - the induction of heaven and man.

Just as Xu Qingfan's mind was confused in this unknown territory, earth-shaking changes were also taking place in his body. His body seemed to have turned into a black hole. The crazy spiritual energy of the five elements of heaven and earth formed a huge vortex under the rapid influx of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The originally formless spiritual energy actually changed rapidly. The breeze shook the thatched house.

As for the spiritual energy in Xu Qingfan's body, with the continuous filling of this spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in his body became increasingly larger. In a short period of time, the spiritual energy increased more than three times. Then, with the body's Dantian and meridians filled with spiritual energy, these spiritual energy began to compress the salt industry on its own. While compressing, these spiritual energy were constantly transforming Xu Qingfan's body, making Xu Qingfan's body more harmonious with the world. harmonious.

Then, after the spiritual energy was compressed, Xu Qingfan's body, which had space again, began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth again, and so on.

I don't know how long it took, but Xu Qingfan's body was finally saturated.

But the change in his body was far from over. The essence and blood in Xu Qingfan's body suddenly surged toward his dantian. At the same time, Xu Qingfan's whole body's spiritual energy and part of his consciousness also surged toward his dantian.

After they gathered in Xu Qingfan's dantian, things that were originally different in shape and substance actually coexisted perfectly and gradually merged.

When the three were completely fused together, a bead the size of a child's fist appeared in Xu Qingfan's dantian. It's just that although this bead is formed, it is illusory and transparent. If it weren't for the green, gray and red glow on the bead, it would be impossible to ignore it.

This transparent bead is the preliminary form of the inner elixir formed by the monk's body after the elixir is formed - the virtual elixir! !

After cultivating immortality for nearly a month, Xu Qingfan, who originally had low qualifications, finally reached the elixir formation stage! After a long time, Xu Qingfan's soul finally gathered and slowly returned to his body. He slowly opened his eyes, and an illusory light flashed through his eyes.

When Xu Qingfan woke up, he only felt that he seemed to have become different, and the world and everything in front of him had also become different. It was like an ant suddenly transformed into a human being, but could not adapt to his body and the world in front of him. .

But Xu Qingfan felt that these changes were so peaceful and natural, as if they were taken for granted.

After a long time, Xu Qingfan's body suddenly trembled. He quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, but he suddenly discovered that a transparent inner elixir with blue, gray and red glow was floating and spinning in his Dantian. As it rotated, the three strands in Xu Qingfan's body... The spiritual energy was also driven to circulate. It was thick and pure, ten times stronger than before! !

It seems that the rumors that a monk in the early stage of Xudan can easily defeat more than ten monks in the late stage of Lingji are not false at all.

"Energy formed?"

Xu Qingfan murmured to himself.

After sixty years of cultivating immortality, Xu Qingfan once attained enlightenment. He had been looking forward to this moment for an unknown amount of time. He originally thought he would be ecstatic, but when this moment actually came, Xu Qingfan just murmured to himself, There is a sense of affirmation in it, as if everything is natural, it comes naturally, and everything seems so peaceful and natural. After a long time, when Xu Qingfan finally became familiar with the condition of his body, he slowly stood up from the straw bed without hesitation. The huge spiritual consciousness naturally began to spread with his body as the center of the circle, and the situation within a radius of ten miles clearly appeared in his mind.

However, the situation where he could clearly grasp the scene hundreds of miles around the entire Jiuhua Mountain when he formed the elixir just now can no longer appear.

Xu Qingfan knew that when he formed the pill before, his body resonated with heaven and earth, so his consciousness could spread so far. It was impossible to maintain this state all the time, so he just smiled slightly, but didn't care, and just pushed it. Go out the door and walk outside the house. He knew that many people had been waiting for him outside the house for a long time.

Outside the house, Liu Huaxiang, Ting'er, Jin Qinghan, Lu Qingshang, Dongfang Qingling, Li Yuhan, and Sheng Yushan stood together, silently looking at Xu Qingfan who was pushing the door open.

Looking at the people who were waiting for him silently, Xu Qingfan felt a little warm in his heart. He first nodded to Liu Huaxiang and Ting'er, and then turned to look at his former partners.

"Have you formed a pill?"

"Fortunately, I finally didn't fall too far behind you."

They asked and answered, but no words were spoken, and there was this tacit communication between looking at each other.

No congratulations, no fuss. Everything was still so quiet and peaceful, and everyone was just silently savoring the joy in their hearts at this time. Finally, Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the past ten years, and your skills have become more advanced."

Jin Qinghan nodded silently and said, "It's okay."

With that said, Jin Qinghan, who never liked to express his feelings, actually walked straight towards Xu Qingfan, and then gave Xu Qingfan a hug, which surprised everyone who knew Jin Qinghan's character.

Only Xu Qingfan knew the meaning of this hug.

After forming the elixir, although it was only in the early stage of the elixir, Xu Qingfan's lifespan was still three hundred years longer than before.

The relationship between monks with different realms is the most difficult to last. For example, the foundation period can only last more than three hundred years at most. The elixir formation period is at least six hundred years. Therefore, whether it is friendship or love between them, they cannot last forever. The monks who are one level higher can only helplessly watch their brothers or lovers slowly grow old and die, but there is nothing they can do about it. This kind of pain even for those who are considered to be stoic. The monks also found it difficult to endure.

At this time, Xu Qingfan and Jin Qinghan have entered the Dan Dan stage, which means that they no longer have to fear that they will have this kind of pain.

"Brother, we can practice together again."

Although Jin Qinghan didn't say this clearly, Xu Qingfan understood that this was what his hug meant. Look at the other people. Whether it was Lu Qingshang, Dongfang Qingling, Li Yuhan, or Sheng Yushan, their eyes were full of genuine joy. The kindness on Liu Huaxiang's face and Ting'er's constant companionship made Xu Qingfan's heart full of emotion.

Just when the others were about to say something, a ray of glow suddenly appeared on the top of Jiuhua Mountain. After the light dissipated, a Jiuhua elder appeared in front of everyone.

I saw this elder bowing respectfully to Liu Huaxiang first, and then said to Xu Qingfan: "Congratulations to Master Xu for his great progress in cultivation and success in forming pills."

Xu Qingfan hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Gongsun."

Elder Gongsun nodded, but then said: "Brother, the head master, was also very happy when he learned that you successfully formed the elixir. Now he is waiting for you in Hualing Hall. You can follow me now."

Xu Qingfan was slightly startled, but he immediately understood that Zhang Hualing was probably planning to arrange for him to practice in the "Jiuji Cave", so he could only smile apologetically at everyone, and then followed Elder Gongsun towards the mountainside Hualing Palace. Fly away. "

It was after Zhou Huahai rebelled against Jiuhua Mountain that he led Xu Qingfan to meet Zhang Hualing. Jiuhua's new Supreme Protector Gongsun Huapo was usually low-key, but her cultivation was only second to Xiao Zhe, Zhang Hualing and others. Xu Qingfan's Master Lu Huayan was quite good during his lifetime.

Xu Qingfan was a famous figure in Jiuhua Mountain before, and his performance in that battle ten years ago was quite eye-catching, so all the Jiuhua elders knew his situation very well. Because of this, Elder Gongsun also knew Xu Qingfan very well. With Xu Qingfan's qualifications, it stands to reason that it is only a coincidence that Xu Qingfan's qualifications can cultivate to the late stage of Lingji. How can he succeed in forming pills at this time? And with Gongsun Huapo's eyesight, she could naturally see that Xu Qingfan's qualifications had greatly improved at this time.

Although she knew the true identity of Liu Huaxiang, who had been mentoring Xu Qingfan all these years, and understood that Liu Huaxiang had great magical powers, Gongsun Huapo still couldn't figure out how Liu Huaxiang and Xu Qingfan did this.

So on the way to Hualing Palace, Gongsun Huapo kept asking about the changes in Xu Qingfan's body, but Liu Huaxiang had already made arrangements for Xu Qingfan before, and private legal matters could never be told to others, so although Gongsun Huapo faced Xu Qingfan The sudden changes made him feel itchy and unbearable, but Xu Qingfan just smiled and said nothing.

The two flew very fast and arrived in front of Hualing Hall in an instant. Gongsun Huapo glanced at Xu Qingfan who was just smiling all the time, then pointed at Hualing Hall and said: "The leader is waiting for you inside, hurry up. Go ahead."

Xu Qingfan nodded, bowed to Gonghan Hua Po to express his gratitude, and then walked towards the depths of Hualing Hall.

This is the second time Xu Qingfan has entered Hualing Hall. At first glance, Hualing Hall is still so grand and majestic. Just or because time does not change the environment, after the catastrophe ten years ago, the Hualing Palace was still extremely empty, but Xu Qingfan clearly felt a sense of desolation from it.

Zhang Hualing, on the other hand, was sitting in the deserted hall, quietly waiting for Xu Qingfan. At the same time, he closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Uncle Master, this disciple has been ordered to come." Xu Qingfan bowed to Zhang Hualing and said.

Hearing Xu Qingfan's voice, Zhang Hualing slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qingfan carefully. Facing his replacement in Liu Huaxiang's heart, Zhang Hualing flashed a complicated look in his eyes.

After a long time, Zhang Hualing said softly: "You really succeeded in forming the elixir."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's words, Xu Qingfan was stunned and asked: "Sure enough? Master Master, did you already know that I can form pills?"

Zhang Hualing nodded slightly and said, "Liu Huaxiang once told me that he would help you form an elixir, but I thought it was unbelievable at the time."

Xu Qingfan was stunned again. He had always thought that only he, Liu Huaxiang, and Ting'er knew about Liu Huaxiang's help in forming the elixir. He did not expect that Liu Huaxiang had also told Zhang Hualing about it. Judging from Zhang Hualing's appearance, he not only knew a lot about it, but also seemed to have contributed a lot. He could not help but feel that the relationship between Zhang Hualing and Liu Huaxiang might not be as simple as ordinary fellow disciples.

But this thought only flashed through Xu Qingfan's mind, and he heard Zhang Hualing continue to say: "In one month, the Jiuji Cave will be reopened. At that time, you will go in with everyone to practice. After you come out, I will arrange for an elder to give you a crown, and then grant you the position of deacon elder."

Deacon elder? ! Didn't Liu Huaxiang say that he was just an ordinary elder?

After hearing what Zhang Hualing said, Xu Qingfan was shocked.
