The Path to Immortality

The medicinal power and earth essence contained in various spiritual medicines were continuously absorbed into Fang Ping's body, warming and tempering his body.

At first, it was just the skin, followed by the internal organs, bones, tendons, meridians, dantian...

There was a kind of majestic power that continued to grow in the body!

If it was an ordinary jade liquid body tempering, it would probably have exhausted the medicinal power at this point and was nearing the end.

But the stalactites that were more than a thousand years old, and the fine spiritual medicines that Fang Ping spent a lot of spirit stones to collect, made the quality of the prepared golden juice and jade liquid the highest level.

In the spiritual pool where Fang Ping was, the medicinal power of the golden juice and jade liquid seemed to never run out, and it continued to temper and strengthen his body.

This magnitude was so amazing that it could be described as reshaping the body!

Time passed little by little.

Under the effect of the medicine, the blood and blood in Fang Ping's body became extremely vigorous, and increased several times. His physique was as strong as that of a mid-stage Qi training cultivator. His meridians and Dantian were much more stable than before, and even his bones had a faint golden hue.

In this process, the poison accumulated by swallowing a large amount of pills was slowly discharged.

The minor hidden injuries left by the Purple Sun Blood Burning Secret Technique were also perfectly healed by the repair of the Golden Juice and Jade Liquid.

Fang Ping had a strong feeling that if he used the Purple Sun Blood Burning Secret Technique again, he would probably be able to maintain it for more than thirty breaths.

Even if it was forty or fifty breaths, there might not be any permanent problems!

Such a strong physique and blood and qi are undoubtedly of great benefit to the first level of the three stages of foundation building, the physical level.

At the moment when the blood and physique were raised to the extreme, Fang Ping in the spirit pool could even hear the sound of the blood and qi in his body flowing like a gurgling river, and heard the loud and powerful heartbeat like a drum.

Without the need for spells and magic tools, he had the confidence to tear apart the mid-stage Qi training monster with his hands with just this body!

………

The entire quenching process lasted for an hour.

It was not until the spiritual energy and earth vein essence in the spirit pool were consumed and the water in the pool turned back to light green with a little turbidity that it finally came to an end.

After finishing the breath-holding technique, Fang Ping slowly stood up from the water.

It was not known whether it was due to the huge increase in his physique, or whether the spiritual pool body quenching baptism had invisibly helped him wash away some hidden shackles, but Fang Ping felt an indescribable sense of relief at this moment.

He could even feel that a considerable amount of medicinal power was still deposited deep in his body.

In the future, as the cultivation progressed and the strength increased, it would be slowly released, bringing greater benefits.

"For cultivators, the physique, mana, and consciousness are originally one. Although the mana did not increase significantly and the consciousness did not change during the spirit pool body quenching this time, the improvement in physique was extraordinary!"

Compared with this level of improvement, what are some spiritual medicines and spiritual stones?

Perhaps, the only one who lost money was Jinghu Taoist Academy.

Fang Ping looked back at the obviously much shallower pool water, knowing that the accumulated spiritual energy and earth vein essence in it had been completely exhausted.

The normal ten-year cycle might not be enough to recover, and it would take at least twenty years to provide the next cultivator with the opportunity to temper his body.

He shook his head, put on a new Taoist robe, put away the mysterious formation, and walked out with a dragon-like and tiger-like step.

………

The completion of the spiritual pool tempering meant that Fang Ping had basically digested all the gains from killing Tianluo Taoist.

After returning from Jinghu Taoist Academy, Fang Ping's life returned to the previous rhythm.

He practiced step by step, made elixirs, practiced Taiwei Yangshen Pian and Zhenhun Yin, and occasionally had free time to continue studying ancient Taoist texts and formations.

But Fang Ping soon discovered the changes brought about by the spiritual pool tempering.

Due to the limitations of the meridians and Dantian, the spiritual energy that a cultivator can absorb and refine every day is limited. Forcing to practice for a longer time will not only make it difficult to improve efficiency, but may also damage the meridians, which is harmful rather than beneficial.

But after being tempered in the spirit pool, Fang Ping's meridians and Dantian were much stronger.

Although his cultivation efficiency did not change significantly, the time he could practice every day was greatly increased.

After half a month of observation, Fang Ping confirmed this.

"The total cultivation speed has increased by at least 20%, and may even be close to 30%!"

This unexpected discovery made Fang Ping very happy.

Although this means that his daily schedule will be more tight, it also means that he will practice to the tenth level of Qi training faster than expected!

………

In this hard work, another two years have passed inadvertently.

It was during this period that Fang Ping had joined the Luoyang Sect for a full twenty years.

On this day, Cheng Guan's spiritual field outside the cave house welcomed the harvest of the second batch of five-year-old spiritual herbs.

When this spiritual plant husband was full of joy and was ready to wait for Fang Ping to come out to report the good news, he didn't know that Fang Ping, who had been in seclusion in the cave house for more than ten consecutive days, had also ushered in a new breakthrough.

"At the age of thirty-seven, I have reached the eighth level of Qi training!"

As his greatly improved aura gradually stabilized, Fang Ping could not help but sigh with emotion as he felt the sudden increase in his mana.

This speed was definitely not slow.

Even if it was a conservative estimate, he could reach the tenth level of Qi training before the age of forty-five.

Then there was at least fifteen years left to prepare for foundation building, which was quite ample time!

In addition to the improvement of his cultivation, Fang Ping's improvement in other aspects was also amazing in the past two years.

For example, the cultivation of the Fiery Sun True Fire.

After hundreds of times of repeated extraction and cultivation, and consuming a large amount of [Red Sun Sand], he finally fully cultivated the second stage of the Fiery Sun True Fire.

The True Fire, which was originally only slightly light blue, has now completely turned blue, and its power has also been amazingly improved.

In addition, with the help of the ancient Taoist texts and the Dao of Arrays, Fang Ping's accumulation in the Dao of Arrays has finally improved.

In addition to the previous low-grade basic arrays [Miscellaneous Array] and [Green Bamboo Array], Fang Ping successfully understood the medium-grade basic array [Withered Bone Illusion Array] bought in the market half a year ago.

Because the original array was damaged in the battle with Tianluo Taoist, Fang Ping specially bought materials and prepared to make a new set of Withered Bone Illusion Array.

But just when the last array flag was about to be completed, Fang Ping hesitated again.

The previous few battles have proved that the Withered Bone Illusion Array is useful, but it is not enough to threaten the late-stage cultivators of Qi training. For Fang Ping with his current strength, the help will only be more limited.

However, if he were to comprehend the top-grade basic formations directly, it would still be a long way off and difficult for Fang Ping now.

At this moment, he remembered something.

In the second-level formation inheritance of Tianfeng Patriarch, there was a case of improving and perfecting a similar illusion formation.

Inspired by this, Fang Ping began to consider whether he could improve and integrate the [Phantom Formation] and [Dead Bones Illusion Formation] that he had already mastered to a certain extent, so as to obtain a set of enhanced formations.

This idea was undoubtedly a bit bold and beyond the ability of ordinary formation apprentices.

But after careful consideration, Fang Ping found that he really had the conditions.
