The Path to Immortality

However, although the current progress in constructing the Dharma Body is pretty good, Fang Ping can feel that as he continues to practice this magical power, the mana and time consumed in opening new Dharma Apertures and condensing runes will become more and more astonishing.

In comparison, the practice of the Lieyang Xuanguang spell progressed much more smoothly.

As early as when he was in charge of Fuyun Shanfang City, he had already practiced this spell to a state close to perfection.

With the help of the two boxes of [Sunlight Spiritual Sand] exchanged after returning to the sect, Fang Ping has cultivated this spell to a true perfection in the past two years.

Each ray of blazing sun light was condensed to the point where it was like a real spiritual weapon, emitting a deep dark golden glow, and its power was once again enhanced.

Ordinary low-grade spiritual weapons may be destroyed by a single blow in front of the blazing sun's mysterious light!

"The sect's contribution spent previously is really worth it."

After the last drill was completed, Fang Ping put away the nine blazing sun lights and nodded secretly.

At this moment, Fang Ping realized that the cave's restrictions had been triggered. With a sweep of his consciousness, he discovered that the visitor was Zhou Lingyu, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

However, this time, he looked pale and looked like he was severely depleted of energy and blood.

Did he just suffer some serious injury?

Fang Ping secretly speculated while opening the cave's restrictions. After the person entered, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, why are you free to come today?"

Sitting down opposite Fang Ping, Zhou Lingyu sighed and said: "The war situation in Mingyun Immortal City is tense. I have received the news in advance. I will be sent to the front line in three months at the latest. Those demon cultivators are not good. I was provoked, so I took the liberty to come here and wanted to ask Junior Brother Fang to help me refine some elixirs and make preparations in advance.”

"Is the situation on the frontline so urgent that even fellow Taoist Zhou has to go to the front line?"

Fang Ping had a bit of surprise on his face.

This person is considered a well-rounded figure in the sect. He has a wide circle of friends and connections. The small circle of other sects also relies on this person to help run and maintain.

After several other monks with the same identity were sent to the front line, Zhou Lingyu was the last monk in the small circle to help maintain it. Once he leaves, this small circle may no longer be able to maintain itself in a short period of time.

Zhou Lingyu hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "The situation is collapsing so badly... The building is about to collapse, I'm afraid it's not far away!"

Fang Ping frowned and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has spoken, Fang will definitely help with such a small favor. I wonder what kind of pills Fellow Daoist Zhou needs to refine?"

Zhou Lingyu said: "Have you ever heard of [Returning Life Pill], Fellow Daoist Fang?"

Fang Ping recalled briefly and nodded: "I have seen this name in an alchemy book. It is said that this elixir is extremely special. When refining, a large amount of the monk's essence and blood needs to be incorporated. In this way, when the monk is seriously injured in the future, You can use the Life-Returning Pill to instantly recover from your injuries, which is an extremely rare life-saving elixir.”

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the prepared life-returning elixir can only be swallowed by the monk who has been fused with blood essence.

Even if other monks get it, it will be useless.

Forcibly swallowing it is not only useless, but harmful. It will mix your own energy and blood, and even repel each other and aggravate the injury!

In addition, the life-returning pill also has another characteristic, that is, the retention time of its potency is much shorter than that of other elixirs.

Generally speaking, only monks who have a premonition that they may encounter fatal danger in the next period of time will refine it in advance.

Otherwise, if you spend a lot of essence and blood to refine it carelessly, the life-returning pill will become ineffective after a year and a half, and it will not be used. It will only waste your own essence and blood, and even slow down the progress of your cultivation.

Zhou Lingyu obviously knew these characteristics, and also had a premonition that he might encounter danger when he was stationed on the front line of Mingyun Immortal City, so he approached Fang Ping.

He took out a pill recipe and the materials for seven furnaces of life-returning pills that he tried his best to collect, and handed them to Fang Ping: "Fellow Daoist Fang, this is the recipe for the life-returning pill."

After a pause, he said with some shame: "I know the market for commissioning alchemy. Generally speaking, three furnaces of common elixirs guarantee one furnace. For rare elixirs that come with their own prescriptions, you must prepare at least ten materials before you have a chance. To make a furnace of elixirs. But the materials for the life-returning elixir are really hard to find and require three hundred-year-old elixirs. In a hurry, Zhou tried his best and could only gather the materials for seven furnaces..."

Did you bring your own materials for the seventh furnace?

Fang Ping was very satisfied. After all, this life-returning pill was indeed a good thing, and he might be able to use it one day. Now I even have the ingredients for the elixir recipe, so it’s all for free.

But on the surface, he still had an embarrassed and solemn expression: "This Life-Returning Pill is a first-class middle-grade elixir. The difficulty of refining it is really not low, and it is not inferior to the Shengyuan Pill. There are only seven furnaces of materials. I’m afraid it’s a little difficult to come up with a potion of pills!”

Seeing his expression, Zhou Lingyu thought that was indeed the case.

After all, it is a prescription that has never been touched before, so it is human nature for the other party to be unsure.

It seems that the only option is to find a way to ask the senior first-level alchemists sent by the family, but I don’t know how much it will cost.

He sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if Fellow Daoist Fang is not sure, I will think of a way."

? ?

No, you are here and you still want to leave?

Fang Ping had a straight face and seemed a little unhappy. He said to Zhou Lingyu: "How can we embarrass fellow Taoist Zhou? Let's do this. I will spend more effort and time and try not to practice for two months, but I will definitely put this into practice." If you understand the elixir thoroughly, you can help Junior Brother Zhou make it at any cost!"

Zhou Lingyu hesitated and said: "Wouldn't this be a bit troublesome to Fellow Daoist Fang..."

Fang Ping put on an unquestionable tone: "What kind of friendship do we have? Let's put it this way. If the seven materials fail, I will pay for the herbs myself and help Brother Zhou refine one furnace!"

Having said this, even if Zhou Lingyu was still a little unsure, he couldn't leave, otherwise this friendship would be over.

He said with a moved face: "In this case, then I'll trouble Brother Fang. If it doesn't work, it's God's will. If it works, I'll double the commission fee!"

Then, he took out two bottles of blood essence from the storage bag and handed them to Fang Ping: "This is the blood essence that I drew in advance. When Brother Fang tries to refine the pill, it's better to take some monster blood instead for the first few times. When you are more confident, use my blood essence to refine. Otherwise, every time you try a furnace, you have to draw blood essence, and even my iron body can't stand it..."

Even this is ready, I didn't expect that Zhou Lingyu is quite thoughtful.

No wonder the other party came to the door this time, looking like he was seriously deficient in Qi and blood. His feelings were used on this.

Fang Ping nodded and said to Zhou Lingyu: "Don't worry, Fang has his own considerations. Only when he is sure enough will he use your blood and essence, and try not to let you bleed for the third time."

With this promise, Zhou Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief and showed gratitude.

The feeling of Qi and blood deficiency and physical fatigue after bleeding twice before has left a deep impression on him.

He really doesn't want to experience it again in a short time.

………

Send Zhou Lingyu away.

Fang Ping took out the recipe of the Life-Returning Pill he had just obtained and pondered it.

After half a day of contemplation, he had a preliminary understanding of this first-level medium-grade pill recipe.
