The Path to Immortality

Compared to the small spirit gathering array that Fang Ping is using now, the effect of gathering spiritual energy of the first-level medium-quality spirit gathering array is at least twice as strong.

As long as this level of spirit gathering array can be arranged, I believe his cultivation speed can be improved again.

It is worth mentioning that although the number of array flags required for the first-level spirit gathering array is more, because it is auxiliary in nature and does not need to withstand the enemy's attack, the grade and quality of the array flags can be lower.

When Fang Ping visited Luoyunfang again, he spent about the same amount of spirit stones as he did to customize the array flags of the Bibo Fumo array, and negotiated the business of making the array flags of the spirit gathering array.

"Every time I arrange a new array, I need to find a weapon refiner to help customize the array flags. It's a bit too troublesome..."

Thinking of this, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel a little more troubled.

Perhaps, I can learn a little about the way of refining?

You don't need to be a real weapon refiner, as long as you can refine the array flag blanks yourself. In this way, whether it is to arrange a new array in the future or to repair the array when it is damaged, it will be much more convenient.

But this thought only lasted for a moment before Fang Ping gave it up.

At this stage, he has used up all his time to cultivate both the alchemy array and the body, and it is impossible for him to be distracted.

This matter can be considered after the Jindan stage.

Jindan cultivators can refine their own magic weapons. This is so secret that it is obviously impossible to find other refiners to do it for them, so they can only do it themselves.

It can be said that any Jindan cultivator with a life magic weapon already has some means of refining.

It is only natural to learn some methods of refining array flags.

………

One hundred days later.

As the twelve spirit gathering array flags were all engraved, Fang Ping put down the engraving knife in his hand.

His spiritual sense carefully scanned the pattern on the last array flag, confirming that there was no problem, and his slightly tired face showed a bit of relief.

"After a lot of effort, I finally completed this level of spirit gathering array."

Next, it was time to test this array.

Standing up and coming to the quiet room for cultivation, Fang Ping glanced casually, and instantly understood the positions that needed to be set up.

After inserting the flags engraved with mysterious array patterns into the corresponding positions, he probed into the ground with his spiritual consciousness, stimulating the underground spiritual veins and introducing them into the array.

Maintaining the operation of the first-level array requires a lot of spiritual stones, and the gathering array has to be opened for many years.

In this case, even Fang Ping is unwilling to waste a lot of spiritual stones in vain.

When he returned from Luoyunfang last time, he had already reported to the array hall and obtained the authority to borrow the power of the underground spiritual veins.

At this moment, after obtaining the support of the spiritual veins, the first-level gathering array is equivalent to having a continuous supply of spiritual energy.

Under Fang Ping's urging, the twelve array flags lit up with spiritual light, and then resonated one after another and started to operate.

At that moment, the gathering array formed an amazing spiritual energy vortex with the array eye as the center.

All the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of feet was attracted by the spirit gathering array and poured into the array continuously.

Fang Ping could clearly feel that the concentration of the spiritual energy in the array was rapidly increasing.

Being in such an environment with extremely rich spiritual energy, every part of his body was cheering. It seemed that between breaths, the mana in his body was naturally increasing at a very subtle degree.

This is the powerful effect of the first-level intermediate spirit gathering array!

Such a drastic change in spiritual energy even alarmed Liang Yinghua and Xiao Ruoyu, who were only in the middle stage of Qi training, and didn't know what happened.

After Fang Ping's voice transmission to comfort them, the two women were relieved.

"This concentration of spiritual energy... If I was not sure before whether I could reach the middle stage of foundation building within 20 years of foundation building, then from today on, there will be no doubt!"

Fang Ping laughed loudly, sat cross-legged, and began today's practice in this formation filled with spiritual energy.

………

Cold and summer come and go

Running between Dantang and Lingbao Peak Cave, and practicing diligently every day, another four years passed.

This night.

After finishing the dual cultivation with Xiao Ruoyu, Fang Ping bathed and changed his clothes, and came to the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, Liang Yinghua, dressed in a plain shirt, was staring at the Lengyue Plate in the center of the courtyard in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking. It was not until Fang Ping deliberately increased the sound of his footsteps that she suddenly came back to her senses.

After waving his hand to indicate that there was no need for courtesy, Fang Ping looked at the Lengyue Plate.

Under the rich moonlight, the wisp of moon energy in the Lengyue Plate was about to condense.

And this wisp of moon energy was also the last wisp of moon energy Fang Ping needed to condense the first drop of moon energy true dew.

"It took about nine and a half years..."

Fang Ping was not very satisfied with this efficiency, but it was definitely acceptable.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, as the spiritual energy in the Lengyue Plate was exhausted, the last wisp of moon energy took shape perfectly.

Fang Ping personally took action to collect it, then glanced at Liang Yinghua next to him, indicating that her work tonight was done and she could rest early.

Liang Yinghua was already very familiar with this job after entering Lingbao Peak these years.

But Fang Ping had no idea what he was going to do with the Moonlight Energy.

Fang Ping naturally had no intention of explaining more, and returned to his cave with the Cold Moon Plate and the Moonlight Jade.

Then, he first took out the ninety-nine strands of Moonlight Energy that had been collected from the jade bottle and put them together with the harvest tonight.

Under the suppression of the mana of the foundation-building period, the hundreds of strands of Moonlight Energy spontaneously merged and gradually condensed into a drop of crystal clear Moonlight Spiritual Liquid that contained rich spiritual energy.

Although this item can be swallowed directly to quickly increase mana, Fang Ping would naturally not do such a wasteful thing.

He took out another treasure bottle sealed with many restrictions, and poured all the ninety-nine drops of moonlight spiritual liquid condensed in the past nine years, together with the newly condensed drop of spiritual liquid, into the cold moon plate inlaid with the moonlight gem.

At that moment, some mysterious changes quietly occurred.

Under the infiltration of hundreds of drops of moonlight spiritual liquid, there was a kind of mysterious spiritual essence in the moonlight gem that was inexplicable and even the consciousness of the foundation-building cultivator could not capture, which gradually merged into the spiritual liquid.

The integration of that touch of moonlight spiritual essence made the spiritual liquid boil and sublimate suddenly!

In the quiet cave, it seemed as if a full moon suddenly lit up out of thin air, and the cold moonlight sprinkled in the quiet room. There were also countless Tao rhymes quietly emerging, but before Fang Ping tried to comprehend, they disappeared instantly.

After a few breaths, the strange phenomenon ended.

In the Cold Moon Plate, the original hundred drops of Moonlight Spiritual Liquid had disappeared, replaced by a drop of emerald "dewdrop" suspended above the Cold Moon Plate.

"Is this the Moonlight True Dew?"

Feeling the strong throbbing and desire in his body, Fang Ping couldn't help but sigh.

After more than nine years of waiting and paying 10,000 spirit stones, he finally got such an inconspicuous Dan-forming spiritual object.

He no longer hesitated, and his magic power captured the Moonlight True Dew and swallowed it.

Perhaps because the amount was too small, a mere drop could not taste anything at all.

Fang Ping only felt as if there was something vague, falling into his stomach along his throat.

Before he could come to his senses, he felt an unusually cold and rich airflow suddenly bursting out in his body.

It is difficult to describe Fang Ping's feelings at that moment with specific words.

It's like bathing in the moonlight on a summer night. Everything is quiet all around, the breeze is blowing gently, and all things are heard. There is an indescribable feeling of being relaxed and happy, and the whole body feels extremely relaxed and clear.
