The Path to Immortality

In addition to breaking through to the ninth level of Qi training, Fang Ping's strength was improved again just half a month later.

Today, more than two years after arriving at Luoyuefang, with half an hour of unremitting practice every day, plus the body-tempering spirit liquid extracted from a large amount of spiritual medicine, the accumulation of True Fire Body Refining finally achieved a qualitative change, and he was the first to break through to the second level!

Compared with the improvement in the first level, the second level of True Fire Body Refining has significantly increased the increase in physical strength and blood.

The improvement in defense is even more visible to the naked eye.

Feeling the strength and blood in his body, Fang Ping was very satisfied.

He quickly made adjustments, just like when he broke through the first level before, and changed the main body-building method to Thick Earth Golden Body.

In this way, with the promotion of True Fire Body Refining, the practice speed of Thick Earth Golden Body was significantly improved, and began to accelerate the impact of the second level.

In addition to the improvement in realm and body training, Fang Ping's research on the formation has not completely stagnated in the past two years.

By studying the second-level formation inheritance of Tianfeng Patriarch, Fang Ping not only improved the Mysterious Formation, but also mastered the first real offensive formation [Rockfall Formation] during this period.

This is a medium-grade basic formation that is difficult to set up.

Once the formation is set up, it can continuously summon falling rocks to bombard the enemy, and each attack is comparable to the earth magic spell performed by a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.

The only shortcoming is that the Rockfall Formation focuses on killing and has almost no ability to trap the enemy.

As long as the enemy is strong and has a little understanding of the formation, it is easy to force it out of the formation range.

If you want to give full play to the power of this formation, it is best to have other cultivators cooperate, or set up the formation in a narrow terrain so that the enemy has nowhere to hide.

How to use it is still a test of the wisdom of the person who sets up the formation.

As for the formation within the formation, embedding the Rockfall Formation into the Mysterious Formation, this high-end technique can only be mastered by a true first-level formation master.

At present, Fang Ping, let alone the formation within the formation, just the two formations arranged closer together may cause the forces of heaven and earth that the formations evoke to disturb each other.

For now, the Falling Rock Formation is actually of limited help to Fang Ping.

But after mastering this formation, Fang Ping's attainments in the art of formation have improved, and he can finally try to arrange a top-grade basic formation.

Fang Ping has been looking forward to this day for a long time. After all, long before entering the inner gate of Luoyang Sect, he began to covet the [First-level Spirit Gathering Formation] recorded in the inheritance of the formation of the Tianfeng Patriarch.

This formation can gather the surrounding spiritual energy and greatly speed up the cultivation speed of the cultivators.

But the arrangement of the first-level middle-grade formation is very difficult, which is not something that Fang Ping can achieve at present.

Fortunately, the inheritance of the formation of the Tianfeng Patriarch also records a simplified [Small Spirit Gathering Formation], which is only at the level of a top-grade basic formation, but can achieve 40% to 50% of the effect of the first-level spirit gathering formation.

With this formation, the lack of spiritual energy in Luoyuefang can be greatly improved, which indirectly helps Fang Ping save a lot of elixirs and spirit stones.

If he returns to the sect, the small spirit gathering formation combined with the already rich spiritual energy of Yunyang Peak can maximize his cultivation speed.

This temptation is still very great for Fang Ping, who has average qualifications.

However, the status of the small spirit gathering formation in the top-grade basic formation is roughly equivalent to the Peiyuan Pill in the elixir category!

The difficulty of its formation is far higher than the formations such as the Dry Bone Illusion Formation, the Mysterious Illusion Formation, and the Falling Stone Formation.

Being able to master the small spirit gathering formation basically means that you have the ability to arrange most of the formations below the first level, which means a leap in level for formation practitioners.

Apart from other things, there are as many as two or three hundred formation patterns used in this formation alone.

Even if most of the formation patterns are basic formation patterns that Fang Ping has already mastered, it is still impossible to figure out and master them all with Fang Ping's qualifications without several years of hard work.

There is no way. The art of formation is more difficult than the art of alchemy. He is not good at the art of formation like the art of alchemy. He can only rely on his own research without the help of a treasure like Yuan Ding. It is not surprising that the progress is slow.

Fortunately, Fang Ping's current cultivation speed is close to the foundation building.

There is no need to rush the matter of this small gathering spirit formation, and he can study it calmly.

………

In the blink of an eye, it was several months again.

During this period, Taoist Baihe lay dormant for a short time. Just when the cultivators of Luoyuefang thought that this robbery cultivator had left this place, Taoist Baihe unexpectedly appeared again, killed several wealthy cultivators in succession, and then floated away again.

Just as the cultivators of Luoyuefang were in panic, time slowly came to the end of the third year.

As usual, the sect sent a foundation building cultivator to review the accounts.

After Fang Ping took office, the business of Luoyun Dan Pavilion was booming. Not only did it earn more spirit stones for the sect, but the resources issued by the sect to purchase spirit herbs and spirit materials were also completed beautifully.

This time, the review was naturally passed with the above evaluation.

In particular, after Fang Ping secretly gave this foundation-building master a bag of spirit stones, he was even more satisfied with Fang Ping's work.

The original idea of ​​nitpicking was also dispelled on the spot.

In addition to taking away the spiritual medicines recently purchased and the new acquisition list, this foundation-building cultivator helped Fang Ping bring letters from Liu Wuchen, Jiang Yucheng and others.

It turned out that not long ago, Liu Wuchen had completed his three-year journey and returned to the sect as soon as possible.

In the letter, although the other party did not mention the encounters during the journey, judging from the words between the lines, he should have gained a lot.

In addition to their own situations, the two people's letters also introduced Fang Ping to the recent situation of the sect.

In general, three years after Fang Ping left the inner sect, the factional conflicts and interest disputes caused by Wang Chen's death have gradually subsided after a series of waves.

If you have a strong enough relationship, you can now use the connection to return to the sect in advance.

"Return in advance? There is no rush!"

With enough cultivation resources, Fang Ping is quite comfortable staying in Luoyuefang.

On the contrary, if he returns in advance, he will not be able to escape the two menial tasks every year. It is better to continue to perform his duties here, and he can get a large amount of sect contribution for free after returning.

After writing a few letters in reply, and asking the foundation-building cultivator who came to inspect to take back the gifts that he had prepared in advance and full of Luoyue Valley style, Fang Ping returned to the second floor and continued his own cultivation.

………

Compared with the quiet cultivation of the inner sect of Luoyang Sect, the life in Luoyuefang is more noisy, with a bit more market atmosphere, which also allows Fang Ping to peek into a corner of Liangguo's cultivation world from another perspective.

In such a calm day, two years have passed inadvertently.

This is the fifth year since Fang Ping arrived at Luoyuefang.

He has made great progress in the realm of the ninth level of Qi training.

In terms of body-building exercises, the thick earth golden body exercise has also been successfully practiced to the second level, catching up with the progress of the true fire body-building exercise.

The superposition of the two exercises that have been practiced to the second level at the same time, plus the increase in the body quenching in the spirit pool itself, gives Fang Ping the feeling that his physique is almost close to the level of Li Wang of the Black Water Sect back then.

The only pity is that as his strength increases, it is not so easy to continue to practice to the third level!

Even if there is enough quenching spirit liquid and the physical aptitude is sufficient, it is impossible without more than ten years of accumulation.

"It seems that it is unlikely to practice the body-building exercises to the third level before building the foundation."

Fang Ping made a preliminary judgment.
