The Path to Immortality

With the help of Yuan Ding, Fang Ping has nine opportunities to practice at will every day.

Even if he goes back, he does not need to spend one or two hours and a lot of mana to start from the beginning every time. Instead, he can directly locate the moment before failure, so as to accumulate experience in refining first-level elixir with unimaginable efficiency.

This is something that other alchemy apprentices cannot do no matter what.

In the long run, as the grade of refining elixirs increases, the resource cost and time cost required for each furnace of elixir are getting higher and higher, and the unique advantages that Yuan Ding brings to Fang Ping will be more significant!

Relying on this zero-cost trial and error, Fang Ping pushed the refining stage of Jade Breaking Barrier Pill to the final stage before the end of the month.

"Come again!"

After an unknown number of failures, Fang Ping has already understood all the difficulties and tricks of refining Jade Breaking Barrier Pill.

He looked extremely focused, and traced the refining process back to ten breaths ago, firmly grasping the complex changes in the medicinal power in the final stage, and constantly regulating it with the help of the temperature of the true fire and his own mana.

Even without the spiritual awareness of a foundation-building cultivator, Fang Ping still relied on his own experience to do everything to the extreme of the current realm.

Finally, as the last layer of medicinal properties changed, the originally mixed spiritual liquid gradually turned into a uniform and clear emerald green.

When looking through the invisible restrictions of the Yuan Ding, you can vaguely see the cool airflow in the liquid medicine. But when you look closely, there is clearly nothing.

"It's done!"

Seeing that the elixir was about to be refined, he stopped the true fire in time. At the moment when the restrictions in the cauldron disappeared, his hands reached into the cauldron like a cloud dragon's claws, and separated several round elixir that looked like jade carvings, but did not take them out of the cauldron.

"Jade Barrier Breaking Pill!"

Although only two finished pills were refined this time, plus two inferior pills with slightly blackened surfaces and excessive elixir poison, this result was enough to satisfy Fang Ping.

"After immersing myself in the way of alchemy for twenty years, I finally took this step!"

Fang Ping was inevitably a little excited.

From today on, he can officially call himself a first-level alchemist!

The value of this identity is even far above the foundation-building realm.

"However, how can it be enough to produce only two elixirs for such a high-cost elixir!"

Fang Ping smiled slightly, and reviewed the elixir that had been refined, and summarized the successful experience just now.

He would consider letting this furnace of Jade Barrier Breaking Pills really come out of the furnace only after at least three pills were made!

At this moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly came from the direction of Luo Yunfeng, and it was still rising.

In the sky above Luoyang Sect, black thunderclouds began to condense rapidly.

In the thundercloud, there were thunders with destructive auras rolling and brewing. Even a strong Jindan ancestor could not help but feel awe from the bottom of his heart under the thundercloud.

As for the foundation-building and Qi training cultivators, let alone.

Including Fang Ping, almost everyone was shocked by the destructive power, and the entire Luoyang Sect was in a panic.

Countless Qi training disciples and foundation building cultivators flew out of their caves as if they were facing a great enemy.

For a moment, countless streams of light emerged, looking up at the sky, and no one knew what was going on.

Until the pressure and voice of a Jindan elder instantly spread throughout the sect.

"Silence! This unusual movement is the small heavenly tribulation caused by the inner sect elder Wang Chen's impact on the Jindan!"

"All disciples, return to your caves immediately, and do not walk around at will."

The words of the Jindan elder caused an uproar in the inner sect.

Is Luoyang Sect about to give birth to the sixth Jindan ancestor?

Countless disciples looked at the heavenly tribulation that was rapidly brewing in the air with expressions of disbelief, surprise, and longing, waiting for the moment when it was about to fall.

After a few breaths, the Luoyang Sect's mountain protection formation slowly opened.

A figure turned into a rainbow and flew out from Luoyun Peak. In an instant, it was dozens of miles away from the main peak and landed on an uninhabited mountain nearby, fully welcoming the upcoming small heavenly tribulation.

Soon, the first thunderbolt fell with a bang.

The dark blue thunderbolt with a hint of purple had a power beyond the imagination of the foundation-building cultivators. Just a glance from afar made many foundation-building cultivators tremble.

Is this the small heavenly tribulation caused by the foundation-building cultivators' promotion to the golden elixir?

However, the thunderbolt that made these foundation-building cultivators doubt their Dao heart was not taken seriously by Wang Chen, who had already condensed the golden elixir and was only one step away from becoming a real golden elixir cultivator.

He raised his hand and casually cast a spell, and easily withstood the thunderbolt that was comparable to the joint attack of several foundation-building great perfection cultivators.

"Wang Chen!"

At the top of Yunyang Peak, Fang Ping looked at the rolling thunderclouds and terrible thunderbolts in the distance, and his mood was a bit complicated.

He was quite impressed by this inner sect elder.

Although Fang Ping had only met him twice from a distance after joining the Inner Sect, it was this elder's granddaughter who lost a spiritual crane when he was still in the Outer Sect, which eventually forced almost all the Outer Sect disciples to travel for many days and search the mountains for cranes.

As early as that time, this Elder Wang was already in the late stage of foundation building.

In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, and many Inner Sect disciples once thought that this Elder Wang would miss the last time of forming a pill and end his life as a foundation-building cultivator.

Who would have thought that today, at the age of more than 170, this Elder Wang actually had the courage to make a last attempt.

Moreover, he succeeded in forming a pill!

Now, as long as he can survive the last small heavenly tribulation of forming a pill, this Elder Wang can become a true golden pill cultivator and enjoy a lifespan of 500 years!

From a personal perspective, Fang Ping naturally didn't like this quasi-Jindan cultivator.

But from the perspective of the sect's interests, if Wang Chen could successfully form a pill and become the sixth Jindan ancestor of Luoyang Sect, it would be good for all Luoyang Sect disciples.

However, he also knew that the senses of a Qi training disciple would not affect the small heavenly tribulation of a quasi-Jindan cultivator at all.

Thinking of this, he calmed down, watched from a distance, and waited for the final result with peace of mind.

Elder Wang Chen's small heavenly tribulation looked like the most ordinary heavenly tribulation, with only nine heavenly thunders.

At this moment, the first four heavenly thunders had already fallen one after another.

Except for the fourth heavenly thunder that slightly put some pressure on Wang Chen, the first three heavenly thunders were basically blocked by Wang Chen with one strike.

Such a smooth start made many Luoyang Sect disciples and even some foundation-building cultivators optimistic.

But a few hundred miles away, the faces of several Jindan ancestors who were watching from afar became solemn at the same time.

At this time, the thunderclouds rolled, and the fifth thunderbolt slowly took shape and fell with a bang!

The power of this thunderbolt was several times greater than the first one.

Facing the destructive force that fell from the sky, even though Wang Chen had been prepared, his face changed slightly.

He took a deep breath, released a spare long-sword-shaped top-grade spiritual weapon, and drove the spiritual weapon towards the thunderbolt head-on!

"Boom!"

The hundred-foot-long sword light stimulated by the spiritual weapon collided fiercely with the thunderbolt.

Although the fifth thunderbolt was successfully blocked, this top-grade spiritual weapon also suffered an unimaginable impact, and countless cracks appeared on the surface.

Although it was not completely scrapped, it was obviously unusable.
