Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 423 Breakthrough in the middle period of the Zifu 【Subscription】

The spiritual power contained in the "Mountain Soul Bead" is too huge, Zhou Chun estimated that it would be much more difficult for a stone to digest it than a third-order low-grade demon pill.

Therefore, he is ready to wait ten or eight years.

After closing the spirit beast room, I didn't pay much attention to it.

Two months later, Luo Qingni's Golden Elixir Ceremony was grandly held in "Qingni Residence".

It is said that on the day of the big pawn, there were more than [-] monks of the Jindan period who came to congratulate, and nearly [-] monks of the Zifu period.

From this we can see how influential such a master of alchemy in the golden alchemy period is, and how extensive Luo Qingni's network is.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why she still hesitated to accept the top-level magical material such as the Spirit Wood Core before.

Although Zhou Chun didn't go to the scene, after hearing about the grand scene of the scene that day, he was very moved, and felt a little grateful for his previous probing behavior.

Fortunately, seeing that the gift delivery failed, he took a backup plan to remedy it in time, otherwise, if the gift was really returned, it would affect the friendship between the two too much.

After the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Luo Qingni announced that she would go into seclusion again and concentrate on cultivating her natal magic weapon.

After Zhou Chun learned of this, he went to renew the rent of his cave for another five years, and then concentrated on cultivating his own mana and practicing secret techniques.

There is no time to practice, and five years have passed in a flash.

After five years of deep cultivation, Zhou Chun felt that his realm barrier was already very loose. He should be able to break through in one fell swoop after one or two years of deep cultivation at most.

At the same time, after these years of subdued cultivation, he finally mastered the secret attacking technique of "Golden Gang Slash".

Zhou Chun was very satisfied with the power of the secret technique "Golden Gang Slash".

After his tests, once this secret technique is activated, its power is no worse than that of a third-tier top-rank spell.

After his cultivation base breaks through to the middle stage of the Zifu, the power of the secret technique will be further enhanced.

Moreover, this secret technique itself has three layers. Now Zhou Chun has only successfully cultivated the first layer, and he can perform "Golden Gang Slash" once.

If he cultivated to the second level, not only would he be able to use "Golden Gang Slash" twice, but the power of the secret technique would also increase accordingly.

If you can cultivate to the third level, you will be able to cast "Golden Gang Slash" three times, and then the power will directly catch up to the fourth-level spells!

To say that Tianyuan Immortal City is indeed a holy place for cultivation, as long as you have spirit coins in your hand, you can easily buy many things here.

The golden energy needed for Zhou Chun's practice, as well as the high-quality golden energy needed for practicing secret arts, are sold in many shops here, and reservations are also accepted.

If Zhou Chun was willing to spend money, he could still rent a cave that was specially designed for Golden Core stage monks to practice. The concentration of aura inside was no worse than those of the Golden Core stage monks in Qinglian Temple.

It's just that the cost here is too high.

The ten-year rent for the Dongfu that Zhou Chun is using is as high as [-] spirit coins, which is like burning money.

If he hadn't made several fortunes one after another, even with the support of the Zhou family, he probably wouldn't be able to afford such expenses.

"Calculating the time, Fellow Daoist Luo should be out of customs too!"

A thought flashed in Zhou Chun's mind, and Dang even sent out a summons talisman to ask Luo Qingni about the situation.

As a result, within a quarter of an hour, Luo Qingni's reply came.

Then he got up with a happy face, packed his things, and went to visit Luo Qingni's cave.

Arriving in "Qingni Residence", Zhou Chun saw Luo Qingni again after a few years, and found that the aura on the other party was deeper, giving him a faint feeling of extreme danger.

Obviously, Luo Qingni's strength has been greatly increased after sacrificing the natal magic weapon.

At this time, after the two greeted each other, Zhou Chun half-jokingly said: "Fellow Daoist Luo has finally left the customs. Zhang has been looking forward to it all these years, and I hope that Fellow Daoist will leave the customs soon!"

When Luo Qingni heard his words, her eyes blinked slightly, and she said in a leisurely tone: "There was an accident in the middle, so it was delayed for two years, and Zhang Daoyou had to wait for a long time."

"Haha, Zhang was just joking, you don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Luo."

Zhou Chun smiled, looked at Luo Qingni and said, "I don't know when Luo Daoyou will be free, and he can help Zhang to make alchemy."

"Since Qing Ni has left customs, she is naturally free at any time. If you are in a hurry, Zhang Daoyou can do it today."

Luo Qingni replied seriously.

When Zhou Chun heard the words, he quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not the case. Zhang has been waiting for all these years, and it's not too late. Why don't we start tomorrow?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Luo Qingni nodded lightly and agreed.

So Zhou Chun stayed for a while longer, discussed with her the situation of the elixir to be refined, then took his leave and left.

Early the next morning, Zhou Chun came to "Qing Niju" again, and followed Luo Qingni into her alchemy room.

Although the two are currently on a good relationship, in order not to test human nature, but also to show trust, Luo Qingni still took the initiative to ask Zhou Chun to accompany him in alchemy.

This time, she will help Zhou Chun refine four furnaces of pills, namely three furnaces of "Building Foundation Pill" and one furnace of "Zengyuan Pill".

For the rest of the elixirs, Zhou Chun hadn't gathered enough main ingredients yet, but now he couldn't refine them yet.

"Building Foundation Pill" Luo Qingni said frankly that she hadn't refined it a few times, but with her current alchemy skills, refining this level of pill can be said to be a piece of cake.

The first batch of "Building Foundation Pill" was refined in only seven days, and eight pills were produced, which is considered normal.

After resting for a day, Luo Qingni started refining the second batch of "Building Foundation Pill".

Another seven days passed, and the second batch of "Building Foundation Pills" was released, with the same eight pills.

Then continue to rest for a day, and start refining the third batch of "Building Foundation Pill".

It may be that the first two batches of "Building Foundation Pills" laid the foundation, and when the third batch of "Building Foundation Pills" was released, Luo Qingni performed supernormally, making nine pills at once!
In this way, the three batches of "Building Foundation Pills" allowed Zhou Chun to harvest a total of 25 panaceas, far exceeding expectations.

"Fortunately, Daoyou Zhang counts the elixir first. After Qing Ni rests for three days, she will start refining 'Zengyuan Pill'."

After removing the formation shield and walking out of the alchemy area, Luo Qingni handed the newly released nine "Building Foundation Pills" to Zhou Chun, and went back to her bedroom to rest.

Alchemy is a very mentally exhausting thing. After refining three batches of "Building Foundation Pills" in a row, even a Jindan stage monk like Luo Qingni will consume a lot of mental energy. He has to rest for a few days to be in full state.

And Zhou Chun also went back to his cave.

Three days later, Zhou Chun came to the door again and witnessed Luo Qingni refining the "Zengyuan Pill".

Compared with the "Building Foundation Pill" for monks in the Qi refining period, the refining difficulty of "Zengyuan Pill" is undoubtedly much greater.

According to what Luo Qingni said, if she was still at the Zifu stage, it would take at least seven to seventy-nine days to refine a furnace of "Zengyuan Pill".

Because just tempering the impurities and monster remnants contained in the third-order demon core would take her a lot of time and mind.

But now that her cultivation base has broken through to the early stage of the golden core, and she has the golden core true fire, this time should be shortened a lot.

With a wave of Luo Qingni's hand, the snake-lizard monster's demon pill was shot into the pill furnace by her.

Then she opened her mouth to spit out, and a ball of emerald green pill fire fell to the bottom of the pill furnace, and began to refine the demon pill in the pill furnace.

During this process, one can vaguely see wisps of black smoke floating out of the alchemy furnace, turning into a snake-lizard monster in mid-air and screaming upwards, as if resenting the injustice of the sky.

But Luo Qingni just blew lightly, and the black smoke was blown away.

Zhou Chun was not surprised when he saw this scene.

Not to mention that the snake-lizard monster is just a ray of remnant thoughts in the demon core, and it has no ability to harm people at all. Even if the real snake-lizard monster spirit is here, Luo Qingni, a monk at the golden core stage, can completely disperse it with one word. .

However, after witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the rumors in the world of cultivating immortals.

It is rumored that if the alchemy is made from the inner alchemy of monsters, if the alchemist is not skilled enough to purify the remnants of monsters, then the pill after the pill is made may contain the remnants of monsters.

And if a cultivator swallows such a elixir, he will easily go mad when he meditates.

Therefore, when taking this kind of elixir, it is generally necessary to check carefully, so as not to mistake yourself.

The sun rose and the moon set, and 32 days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Luo Qingni, who had been slowly accumulating the elixir, suddenly increased the power of the elixir fire, and then quickly condensed the elixir.

Not long after, as she played the pill collection formula, the furnace cover instantly flew upwards, and seven auras flew out from it, which turned into seven round pills and fell into the jade bottle in her hand.

Then she looked down at the elixir in the jade bottle, then nodded lightly and said: "There are seven elixirs, which is one more than most of the time before. Ascension is of great help, Pill Fire is indeed the most suitable true fire for alchemy!"

Then he turned off the fire, removed the formation shield, and handed the elixir to Zhou Chun.

"There are seven pills. It seems that Luo Daoyou's alchemy skills have improved again. Congratulations."

Zhou Chun took the elixir, put it away after looking it over for a while, and then expressed congratulations to Luo Qingni with a smile on his face.

"It's just the changes brought about by the improvement of cultivation base, it can't be regarded as a real improvement."

Luo Qingni waved her hand lightly, showing no sign of complacency.

After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhou Chun and asked: "In a few days, Qing Ni should go to Master Ge Yun to exchange pill formulas. How did fellow Daoist Zhang think about that proposal?"

The proposal she spoke of was naturally about refining the "Dragon Spirit Pill".

And after Zhou Chun heard her words, he felt depressed all of a sudden.

In the past few years, Zhou Chun has not forgotten to go to the master Ge Yun to make alchemy when he is not practicing.

But until now, he still failed to get the top order.

Apparently, as Luo Qingni said, that master Ge Yun is now busy attacking the higher realm of alchemy, and has no time to take such a small order at all.

Now that Luo Qingni brought up this matter again, Zhou Chun pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then, then Zhang will take out two demon pills for Fellow Daoist Luo to refine, let's see the results first!"

He has three dragon-born monster pills, and one each of the third-rank low-rank, middle-rank, and high-rank.

Of course, he couldn't use the most precious third-order high-grade demon pill to practice for Luo Qingni, unless Luo Qingni's first two batches of pills could produce stable pills.

At this time, when he saw that he agreed to alchemy, Luo Qingni also showed a smile on his face, and couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Hehehe, then Qingni will thank Zhang Daoyou for his trust first. As a thank you to Zhang Daoyou, this alchemy will not be accepted. Fellow Daoist Zhang’s fee.”

She had said at the beginning that she was willing to refine three furnaces of pills for Zhou Chun for free, which happened to be on top of the previous three furnaces of "Building Foundation Pills".

Therefore, according to the rules, a fee will be charged for refining the "Zengyuan Pill".

Now because Zhou Chun promised to train her, she waived the fee again, which can be regarded as a return to Zhou Chun.

This made Zhou Chun feel better.

Immediately said: "Zhang doesn't know what other materials are needed for the 'Dragon Spirit Pill' besides the inner pill of the third-order dragon-born monster. If you want to make alchemy, you will have to use the relationship of Luo Daoyou to help gather other materials. .”

When Luo Qingni heard the words, she immediately agreed, "It's easy to talk about. As long as Fellow Daoist Zhang is willing to offer spirit coins and millennium elixir, Qingni will try his best to help you gather relevant materials as quickly as possible."

After the two settled, Zhou Chun took his leave and left.

And Luo Qingni's work efficiency is really fast. In just the past two months, she informed Zhou Chun that she had exchanged the prescription of "Longling Pill", and began to initiate relationships to collect other materials.

According to what he said, the most difficult material to collect for the "Dragon Spirit Pill" is the third-order dragon-born monster inner alchemy. Except for the rare two-flavored common thousand-year-old elixir, the rest of the materials are not particularly expensive and difficult to find.

Therefore, it is not difficult to gather the materials for the two batches of elixir.

The difficulty now is that Luo Qingni Danfang has just obtained it, and it needs to be carefully studied and enlightened before it can be refined.

After all, she only exchanged for the alchemy formula. Master Ge Yun would definitely not give her the tricks and related experience of refining "Long Ling Pill".

Zhou Chun was not in a hurry, so he let her study slowly first, and he also renewed the rent of the Dongfu for another five years, silently cultivating and launching an impact towards the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.

Two years later, Zhou Chun broke through the boundary barrier suddenly and naturally during a normal clearance process, and his cultivation officially broke through to the middle stage of Zifu.

"Phew, it's finally a success, it's really not easy!"

In the cave, Zhou Chun woke up from meditation, felt the surge of mana in his body, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Speaking of it, the past ten years can be said to be the most stable ten years since he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals.

He has never been distracted by any external affairs and concentrated on cultivation like he has done in the past ten years.

Especially during the ten years when his cultivation base was stuck at the barrier of the realm, he has completely become an ascetic monk, only diligently polishing his mana every day, practicing secret techniques hard, and his cultivation base has not been completed.

This kind of practice is not only the polishing of mana, but also the polishing of xinxing.

If you can't calm down and endure the sense of loss that you've worked hard every day but haven't made any progress in mana, then it's hard to make a breakthrough today.

There is no doubt that Zhou Chun's practice mentality has been baptized for more than ten years this time.

The original impetuosity in his heart was completely washed away during these ten years of practice.

At this time, he is no longer like before when he first came to the Great Zhou Kingdom, he only wanted to seek opportunities everywhere to improve his mana cultivation, so that he could break through the realm as soon as possible.

He gradually understood that sometimes it might not be a good thing for mana to grow too fast.

Keeping your feet on the ground, practicing diligently and practicing hard, is the foundation of cultivating immortals.

External forces such as pills can be used, but they must not be regarded as shortcuts.

There are no shortcuts in life, and there are no shortcuts in spiritual practice either!

"I don't know how the stone is doing now. Counting the time, it has been sleeping for more than seven years. There must be some changes now!"

Zhou Chun thought about this, and immediately opened the closed door of the spirit beast room to check the situation.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after seeing it, he himself was stunned.

I saw that the stone lying in the spirit beast room had disappeared, and there was a huge mud-yellow stone egg in the spirit beast room!
The stone egg is oval in shape, nearly two feet long and more than one foot high.

"Stone it...it turned into an egg!"

Zhou Chun looked at the stone egg in surprise, and through the contractual relationship with the spiritual pet, he was able to confirm that the golden-armored rock turtle stone was inside the stone egg.

But the question is, how did this stone egg form?
The original size of the stone is bigger than this stone egg!

"It seems that the 'Mountain Soul Bead' really fits well with the stone. Maybe its breakthrough evolution this time will give me a different surprise!"

After silently looking at the stone egg for a long time, Zhou Chun also saw some tricks, and couldn't help sighing expectantly.

He knew that some demon worms would spin silk into cocoons to wrap themselves before they evolved, and after they evolved successfully, they would bite through the cocoons and come out.

The golden-armored rock turtle stone has now turned into a stone egg, and it is undoubtedly a similar behavior.

This stone egg can not only protect it, but also isolate it from the influence of the external environment, so that it can concentrate on transformation and evolution.

Even so, Zhou Chun had no intention of moving the stone egg.

Because he knows one thing well, the golden-armored rock tortoise whose main attribute is soil, is more likely to evolve successfully when it is in contact with the earth.

Not to mention that he is still in Tianyuan Immortal City now, and the spiritual energy under his feet is extremely strong, which is very suitable for making a big breakthrough.

After taking a deep look at the stone egg like this, Zhou Chun closed the door of the spirit beast room again.

Next, Zhou Chun sent a message talisman to Luo Qingni, asking about refining the "Dragon Spirit Pill".

In the end, Luo Qingni replied that she hadn't comprehended and researched the alchemy formula thoroughly, and she didn't plan to blindly make alchemy.

Zhou Chun liked her prudent and responsible attitude very much, so naturally she would not urge her.

After all, he still has two "Huang Jing Pills" and seven "Zengyuan Pills" in his hand, and there is no shortage of pills for the time being.

So Zhou Chun went back to the practice room, took out a jade bodhi fruit and swallowed it.

He was stuck on the realm barrier before and couldn't break through. He was worried that taking the medicine would waste the power of the medicine, so he didn't take this medicine.

Now that the cultivation base has broken through, without this worry, it is natural to fulfill the role of this thing earlier.

And this emerald bodhi fruit is indeed a spiritual fruit that Luo Qingni admires.

After Zhou Chun finished refining one, he found that not only did his spiritual consciousness, which had just been enhanced due to the breakthrough in the realm, increase by nearly [-]%, his mana cultivation base also increased a lot, which was worth a year of hard work.

The key is that the increase in mana brought by this spiritual fruit is very neutral and peaceful, not as manic and vain as pills, and it is similar to the increase in mana cultivated by one's own meditation practice.

After discovering this benefit, he immediately took another one.

But after taking it for the second time, the effect is much worse.

The spiritual consciousness has only increased by about one-thirtieth, but the increase in mana cultivation is not much different, still about a year old.

This completely extinguished Zhou Chun's original plan to take the third pill.

He was going to leave the remaining two to the two elders, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, which could be regarded as a filial piety of him as a junior.

Then Zhou Chun reached out to pat the storage bag on his waist again, and what he took out this time was an "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

He has 33 "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" in his hand, which is more precious than 33 thousand-year-old elixir.

However, this item is too precious, and it is easy to reveal the fact that it is stolen, so he dare not take it out and exchange it with others easily.

However, it is a pity that this thing has been kept in the storage bag.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is now going to taste the taste of this "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" by himself, and see what benefits it can bring him.

If the benefits are considerable, he plans to spend all of this "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" on his own.

High-end ingredients often do not require any cooking skills, just eat them raw!

After Zhou Chun took off all the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" from a plant of Aescinus chinensis, he stuffed it into the innermost part and ate it raw.

The crystal-like "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" is actually very hard, and it is really not easy for ordinary Zifu period monks to chew it if they eat it raw.

However, whether Zhou Chun is majoring in the "Golden Tripod Xuan Gong" or the secret method of "The Secret of Transforming Dragons", they all have a considerable tempering effect on the physical body.

Now he is no worse than some golden core stage monks based on his physical strength alone.

So he can still chew these "Amethyst Bamboo Rice".

And the taste of this spiritual thing, which was originally only enjoyed by monks in the Nascent Soul stage, did not disappoint.

After the hard bamboo rice was chewed, it immediately had a wonderful reaction with the saliva in the mouth, and a faint sweet smell spread quickly, filling the brain.

And the swallowed bamboo rice was quickly decomposed into incomparably pure spiritual power that spread throughout the body.

After Zhou Chun closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, he slowly practiced exercises to refine the spiritual power in his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun finally refined all the spiritual power released by the "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" in his body.

At this time, he felt his own situation carefully, and found that this "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" did not bring much improvement to his cultivation.

It is probably equivalent to three months of penance, far inferior to the previous emerald bodhi fruit.

However, "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" has the effect of tempering the body in addition to refining the cultivation base.

Zhou Chun obviously felt that his physical body was slightly strengthened. If he could take it all the time, his physical body would definitely be greatly strengthened.

As for the rumored longevity-prolonging effect, he didn't really feel it. It may be because he only took one strain, and the effect was not obvious.

To sum up, eating "Amethyst Bamboo Rice" by oneself is a bit too wasteful, it is better to exchange the thousand-year-old elixir.

Therefore, Zhou Chun did not continue to eat the remaining 32 plants of "Amethyst Bamboo Rice", but carefully preserved them in a jade box, and prepared to sell them later.

This kind of spiritual thing itself is resistant to preservation, even if it is preserved for a hundred years, it will not lose its medicinal effect.

And after a hundred years, the matter of the ancient ruins will no longer be mentioned as often as it is now. At that time, Zhou Chun may also succeed in forming the alchemy, and he will have the confidence to trade this thing with others.

After another half a year passed like this, Zhou Chun, who was quietly cultivating in the secret room, suddenly changed his expression, and with a gesture of both hands, he summoned a flame to fall in front of him.

After he finished reading the contents of the messenger talisman, his face suddenly became happy, and he hurriedly got up and left the cave.

Not long after, Zhou Chun arrived at an inn in Xiancheng, where he saw Lin Hongyu who had come all the way.

"The younger generation pays respects to Elder Lin."

In the room, after Zhou Chun saw Lin Hongyu, he hurriedly paid homage first.

"There is no need to be polite for being pure. This place is not in the family, so there is no need for so many etiquette."

Lin Hongyu waved her hand, indicating that you are welcome.

Then without Zhou Chun asking, she took the initiative to talk about her intentions.

"I came to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time to seek help for Wan'er to open up the spiritual objects of the Purple Mansion. I also came to visit you along the way and bring you some letters from home."

Speaking of this, he nodded to Zhou Chun with a satisfied face and said: "Not bad, not bad, Zheng Chun, you have broken through to the middle stage of Zifu so quickly. If Daoyi and the others know, they will definitely be very pleased."

When Zhou Chun heard her words, he didn't show any complacency, but asked with concern: "The younger generation has been away from home for more than ten years, is everything okay in the family?"

Lin Hongyu immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything in the Zhou family has been fine for more than ten years. The relevant situation Zhou Daoyou and Daoyi have also been written in the family letter. You will understand after reading it."

After speaking, he handed over the family letters written by several Zhou parents to Zhou Chun.

Although Zhou Chun wanted to know the contents of the family letter, he didn't open it now.

At the moment, I just put the family letter into the storage bag first, and then said to Lin Hongyu: "This junior has stayed in Tianyuan Immortal City for more than ten years, and I have some understanding of the situation in the city. What can Elder Lin use for this junior?"

"That's not necessary. I have received reliable information and know where to get the spiritual objects to help open up the Purple Mansion. You don't need to worry about it."

Lin Hongyu shook her head and politely declined his offer.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't ask any more questions, and immediately reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out the 25 "Building Foundation Pills".

"Then Elder Lin, when you return to your family, please take these Foundation Establishment Pills back to your uncle and the others!"
