The Path to Immortality

After nearly a hundred failures.

Fang Ping gradually figured out a set of experience and suppressed the power of the Fiery Sun True Fire within a certain range, burning more slowly and steadily, thus finding a range that best suits the Condensation of the Yuan Pill.

Now that the method is in place, all that remains is persistent practice.

The 98th furnace!

After a large amount of refining, the stage before the liquid condenses into a pill is no longer difficult for Fang Ping.

Fang Ping skillfully activated the ability of the Yuan Ding until he was about to condense the liquid into a pill.

Then, he took a deep breath, exerted his magic power with all his strength, and condensed the Fiery Sun True Fire.

Gradually finding the trick and the method of improvement, he put the condensed true fire into the Ding at a speed slightly lower than the last time, and more slowly.

This is the closest range he has found after repeated failures.

At the same time, after every seven or eight true fires, there is a break for a few breaths. Wait for the temperature in the Yuan Ding to drop slightly, and then re-ignite the Fiery Sun True Fire in time.

Everything went very smoothly.

This time, the medicinal power of Qingling Grass and the half-finished liquid medicine in Yuan Ding were almost perfectly integrated into one.

However, this kind of fine control and multiple castings consume a lot of mana and mind.

In terms of mind, Fang Ping can still barely hold on and maintain concentration.

As for mana, it is a bit bad.

In order to avoid the situation where the mana is insufficient at the last moment and the work fails, Fang Ping puts a Qi-recovering pill in his mouth in advance. Calculate the advance amount and swallow it in time.

The slowly restored mana of Qi-recovering pill can just make up for the lack of mana in the last stage.

In Fang Ping's slightly excited mood, the liquid medicine in Yuan Ding has gone through the last stage and is about to be furnaced into pills!

Stop refining, wait for the invisible restriction of Yuan Ding to disappear automatically, and Fang Ping's hands reach out one after another like lightning. Before the medicinal power dissipates too much, use the long-skilled pill-dividing technique to divide one round spiritual pill after another.

In the blink of an eye, six Condensation Pills were quietly placed in front of Fang Ping.

Although this refining still had great flaws and shortcomings. Among the six Condensation Pills, three were defective, and one pill had no problem with its medicinal power, but its shape was slightly deformed, and the shelf life of the pill would be greatly shortened.

But it was the first time that Fang Ping personally refined a spiritual pill that could improve his cultivation!

At the same time, being able to refine Condensation Pills also meant that Fang Ping had the ability to refine most of the medium-grade basic pills!

From now on, he can call himself a real Dan Dao apprentice, not a rookie apprentice who can only refine the simplest Bigu Pills.

"A real Dan Dao apprentice?"

Picking up a Condensation Pill casually, throwing it into his mouth, feeling the rich medicinal power contained in the pill, Fang Ping felt more at ease than ever before.

Putting away the Yuan Ding, he started to meditate and practice directly in the original place.

After two years of traveling through time, Fang Ping's practice, which had been bumpy, finally stepped onto the real fast track!

………

Since he was able to refine the Condensing Yuan Pill, Fang Ping almost stopped refining the Bigu Pill and the Qi Rejuvenating Pill, and only occasionally refined a few bottles for his own use.

A normal alchemy apprentice can make a profit if he can maintain a 20% success rate of the Condensing Yuan Pill, thus embarking on a positive cycle.

If he can maintain a 30% success rate, he will no longer have to worry about cultivation resources.

But Fang Ping has the Yuan Ding to go back nine times a day, so his success rate will only be higher than that of alchemy apprentices of the same level!

Even if most of the refined Condensing Yuan Pills are used to maintain his own cultivation, his speed of earning spirit stones is still far higher than before.

There is no time in cultivation.

Unknowingly, more than a year has passed.

Fang Ping, who is already 23 years old, has enough supply of Condensing Yuan Pills. Although his strength remains at the third level of Qi training, he has made a qualitative improvement compared to when he was just promoted.

This day.

In his room, Fang Ping swallowed a Condensing Yuan Pill and used the power of the pill to speed up his cultivation.

About an hour later, with the operation of another big circle, Fang Ping had an epiphany and realized that he had reached the limit of the third level of Qi training.

From the third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training, it is a relatively significant breakthrough.

The former is the early stage of Qi training, and the latter is the middle stage of Qi training, which has initially escaped from the bottom of the world of immortal cultivation!

Fortunately, for cultivators with four spiritual roots, there are generally no obvious bottlenecks and thresholds from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training.

Fang Ping's mentality is relatively calm, and he did not think that he must break through the barrier at once. He only focused on refining spiritual energy and running the Five Elements Sutra.

But this mentality is in line with cultivation.

After countless cycles of operation and impact, the not-so-obvious barrier between the two realms was broken by Fang Ping in one fell swoop.

It seemed that there was a crisp sound of something breaking.

At that moment, there seemed to be a breeze in the quiet room. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly became active and quickly poured into his body, allowing his strength to continue to grow.

When the rising aura gradually stabilized, Fang Ping's cultivation finally stopped at the fourth level of Qi training.

Previously, when he went from the second level to the third level of Qi training, his mana increased by several times.

But after this critical breakthrough, Fang Ping's mana was nearly twice as strong as when he was at the third level of Qi training!

"Middle stage of Qi training, it's done!"

Feeling his strength at this moment, Fang Ping was very excited.

Even if it was just from an ant to a bigger ant, this progress was extremely rare.

"Oh, there is also Yuan Ding!"

Remembering something, Fang Ping released Yuan Ding from his Dantian.

At the critical moment of his previous promotion, he felt that Yuan Ding had some abnormal movements, but he did not dare to distract himself to investigate.

At this moment, he carefully looked at this treasure and found that compared to when he first got it, the Yuan Ding had actually undergone subtle changes.

Before this, the appearance of the Yuan Ding was just an ordinary low-grade magic weapon Dan Ding, which looked unremarkable.

But as he was promoted, the grade of the Yuan Ding was significantly improved.

It has become a mid-grade magic weapon!

"In addition to the improvement of grade, or revival, is there any other change in this Yuan Ding?"

Fang Ping looked at it for a moment and decided to verify it directly.

Put in a portion of Ningyuan Dan material and refine it on the spot.

In the past year or so, he has no idea how many furnaces of Ningyuan Dan he has refined. It is not an exaggeration to say that practice makes perfect, and he can refine it with his eyes closed.

But even so, after opening the furnace this time, Fang Ping still felt a clear difference.

That is, it is easier!

Compared to the original low-grade magic weapon form, the current Yuan Ding is like a real middle-grade magic weapon furnace. It can provide more help to the alchemist during refining, and it also slightly improves the success rate and quality of the pills.

After two successful furnaces in a row, Fang Ping made a trivial mistake and produced a substandard pill.

He was not in a hurry and went back to the past.

The divine light that could reverse time appeared again in the Yuan Ding, washing the materials and restoring the substandard pills to the original medicinal materials.

Since discovering the ability of the Yuan Ding, Fang Ping has been unshakable for several years, and he has used up the nine times of backtracking every day.

No matter how shocking the situation is, it will become numb after seeing it thousands of times.

But this time, Fang Ping actually had a strong feeling that the divine light that could reverse time contained in the Yuan Ding was also recovering with the grade!

Perhaps, as his realm continues to improve, the Yuan Ding will gradually show its due grade, until it completely gets rid of the seal and restrictions in the Ding and restores its former power!
