The Path to Immortality

Have the alchemy tasks become more and more onerous in recent years?

Knowing that he was powerless to change, Fang Ping did not say anything more. He comforted them with a few words, saying that everything would remain the same and that there would be extra rewards for doing well. Only then did the alchemy hall disciples feel relieved and leave.

"Front-line war..."

Perhaps Fang Ping accidentally mentioned this heavy topic. After the ten disciples left, the atmosphere in the alchemy room was much more depressed than before.

Next, Shen Huaigan and Deacon Yan chatted for a while and exchanged some news from the front line. Then they had no more interest in talking and stood up to say goodbye one after another.

Fang Ping did not try to keep them and personally sent them out of the alchemy room.

When he returned again, looking at the quiet layout in the alchemy room, Fang Ping's face showed a bit of relief.

With the position of alchemy hall deacon and the promise of Deputy Hall Master Wei, he should not have to worry about being sent away from the sect within ten years.

As for ten years later, as long as he showed his ability to refine Shengyuan Dan or even a first-level mid-grade elixir, it would not be a problem.

Moreover, if we think positively, ten years later, maybe the battle on the front line has been decided, and the invasion of the Ten Thousand Demons League has been repelled by the Immortal League?

Although the probability of this happening is not high, it is not impossible.

After secretly praying for a while, Fang Ping turned around and walked to the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room and began to get busy.

Although he would definitely go back to the Lingbao Peak Cave Mansion to use the Yuan Ding to refine most of the alchemy tasks assigned by the Alchemy Hall. But at least in the first few days, as a newcomer, he still had to pretend in the Alchemy Hall.

………

A few days passed in a flash.

After failing to make things difficult for Fang Ping and instead losing face, Master Xu has not appeared in the Alchemy Hall in the past few days.

In his absence, Fang Ping has been very low-key, focusing on cultivation and alchemy, and rarely doing public activities. The previous bet that was once widely circulated in the Alchemy Hall and the influence of the new deacon soon gradually dissipated, allowing the Alchemy Hall to return to its past busy atmosphere.

That evening.

After finishing today's body-building exercises, Fang Ping left the alchemy room and headed straight for Luoyunfang.

He first retrieved several spiritual instruments that had been repaired at great expense, and then came to the Refining Pavilion to make his intentions known.

Seeing Fang Ping coming, the first-level refiner who had been commissioned earlier took out a silver magic instrument disc from his storage bag.

The disc exuded a cool and cold air, and many mysterious instrument patterns were carved inside the disc. There was a raised inlay hole in the middle of the bottom, the size of which just matched the Yuehua gem in Fang Ping's hand.

Perhaps it was inspired by Fang Ping's spiritual stone that the refiner really took some effort and showed his true skills, or perhaps the gourd of ice spring holy water had an effect. The grade of this [Cold Moon Disc] is close to the level of a top-grade magic instrument.

It can be said that it has reached the limit of this auxiliary magic instrument itself.

After injecting mana, it was placed under the rising moonlight. It was obvious that the nearby moonlight was absorbed by the Cold Moon Plate, forming a hazy halo visible to the naked eye.

However, due to the lack of the most critical Yuehua Baoyu, the effect of this Cold Moon Plate stopped here, and there was no subsequent change.

"Not bad!"

After identifying it for a moment, Fang Ping was extremely satisfied with the quality of this Cold Moon Plate, and immediately paid an additional 30% of the spiritual stones as promised.

Then, he couldn't wait to return to the Lingbao Peak Cave.

At this time, the night was deep, and the bright moonlight fell on the earth, which was just right for condensing the moonlight.

Fang Ping came to the open space in the center of the courtyard, took out the Yuehua Baoyu, inlaid it in the Cold Moon Plate, and then stuffed a low-grade spiritual stone into the groove at the bottom of the Cold Moon Plate.

After completing the preparations, he released some of the formation restrictions, allowing the moonlight to fall on the top of Lingbao Peak without hindrance.

Feeling the moonlight shining, the Cold Moon Plate started automatically.

Supported by the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, the pattern on the cold moon disk slowly lit up. It kept pulling and absorbing the nearby moonlight, condensing it on the moonlight gem in the center of the cold moon disk.

At this moment, if a cultivator looked down from the sky, he would find that the moonlight near Lingbao Peak was particularly rich, and the center was even almost condensed into strands of silk threads, falling into the cold moon disk like thin and invisible raindrops.

In the quiet moonlight, as time passed, a wisp of moon-white moonlight slowly took shape from nothing.

When the spirit stone placed in the cold moon disk exhausted its spiritual energy, the wisp of moonlight also just condensed to the perfect degree, and the shape was initially stabilized.

"Although it is insignificant, it can be regarded as a towering building rising from the ground."

Fang Ping pinched a spell, collected this wisp of moonlight, sealed it with a ban, and temporarily stored it in the jade bottle.

Waiting to gather a hundred wisps of moonlight to condense the first drop of moonlight spirit liquid.

After doing all this, Fang Ping calculated the time and found that it took exactly one hour.

"That is to say, under normal circumstances, at most five to six strands of Moonlight Energy can be condensed in one night."

"If there are no clouds in the sky every night and the moon is high in the sky, then it will take about five years to condense 10,000 strands of Moonlight Energy and generate one portion of Moonlight Dew?"

This speed is not slow, but Fang Ping knows very well that it is impossible to achieve this efficiency in reality.

However, even if the speed is slowed down by half, condensing one portion of Moonlight Dew in ten years is basically enough for him.

He is exactly sixty years old this year, and the Moonlight Jade can only generate nine portions of Moonlight Dew at most, and then it will run out of spiritual essence.

Even if all nine portions of Moonlight Dew are used on himself, he will only be one hundred and fifty years old by then, and it is completely in time to impact the Golden Core.

The only problem is that it is necessary to frequently replace the spirit stones for the cold moon plate and collect the condensed moon energy.

If the spirit stones can be replaced by medium-grade spirit stones, then there is no good way to collect the moon energy in time.

It is not impossible for Fang Ping to do it by himself, but it is too troublesome and requires distraction all night.

"How about letting Dahei do it?"

Fang Ping had an idea instantly.

This stupid dragon eats and drinks his food every day, feeds so many pills, but still has not been able to break through to the foundation building stage. It is simply a dragon.

It is reasonable to give it a little more tasks and help it collect the moon energy.

After making up his mind, Fang Ping called back Dahei who was still sleeping in the deep pool in the back mountain.

With the connection between the blood contract, Fang Ping told Dahei what he needed to do.

Then, Fang Ping saw a confused look on Dahei's huge dragon face.

As if to say: "Replace the spirit stone? Collect the moonlight energy? Me?"

It tilted its head and thought for a moment. One of its huge dragon claws carefully pinched the spirit stone, and the other dragon claw picked up the Lengyue Plate, which was equally small compared to its body, and tried to gesture.

If it was not careful, the sharp dragon claw would leave a deep mark on the spirit stone...

Fang Ping pressed his temple: "...Forget it, you can continue to play in the water."

Crushing the spirit stone is still secondary. If he accidentally destroys his Lengyue Plate, it will be a big loss.

This is just replacing the spirit stone. The next step is to impose restrictions and collect the moonlight energy, which will only be more complicated than this.

It is a bit difficult to expect a black-scaled dragon in the Qi training period to do such delicate work.

"It seems that I have to find a reliable confidant."
