Alchemy Dao Immortal

Chapter 489: The Newcomer's Courage Unexpectedly Improved
In a trance, Zhou Qingru turned into a whirlpool, deep and dark, with no visible bottom. The essence of heaven and earth extracted by the True Artifact Refining Cauldron poured down into it continuously, but disappeared silently. Only the operation of his profound skills remained, and strange visions could be seen faintly, illuminating all directions.

At the beginning, there was a sound of tide, no one knew where it came from, and then a long stretch of water light extended over, with an icy blue color surging on it, and a raging flood raged in all directions, that kind of cold color that froze everything and covered everything.

After the water light was about to dissipate, another stream of brilliant white sword energy flew out, breaking through the air in just one move, tearing apart the aura. Wherever it went, the afterglow was eerie and sparkling. Everything it touched was reflected with cold light and filled with murderous intent. Just a slight sensation gave people a sense of invincibility.

This sword energy lasted for half a quarter of an hour, and what came out in the end were clumps of emerald green grass. After the rain, they continued to grow, and with a rustling sound, they soon became towering trees, blocking out the sky and the sun, lush and green. Thousands of aerial roots hung down from the trees, and they spread out in all directions. An abundant vitality extended from them, thread by thread, thread by thread.

Water, gold and wood, three attributes, three colors, constantly flow, shining with the nine parts of the immortal bones in the Taoist body, resonating and attracting more power.

At the beginning, it was still in the order of water, gold and wood, but as time went on, the order changed naturally with the mysterious skills, whether it was water, wood and gold, or gold, water and wood, or gold, wood and water, etc., becoming more perfect and natural, allowing the mysterious skills to promote and enhance each other in the mutual generation of the two, forming a perfect match.

In this way, Zhou Qing's profound skills and mystical skills spiral upward, able to digest more and more essence of heaven and earth.

However, it must be said that the use of a real instrument to refine a real jade cauldron is indeed extraordinary. In a place like the Yushu Star Palace where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely rich, the essence of heaven and earth is refined at a speed far exceeding the usual speed, and it is still being sent in continuously. Essence of heaven and earth in the shape of a phoenix and a dragon continues to drill into Zhou Qing's body, like a rushing tide or a surging wave, roaring as it rushes.

Even while practicing, Zhou Qing could feel the torrent of the essence of heaven and earth that seemed to surround him. Even though the operation of his Sanluo Dao body and Sanmen Xuan Gong consumed more than ten times the essence of heaven and earth as that of a cultivator at the same level, the essence of heaven and earth still continued to flow in.

"Well come."

Faced with such a situation, Zhou Qing was not surprised but happy. His Sanluo Dao body was built with nine parts of immortal bones as the foundation. Its characteristics were naturally balanced and coordinated, and it was not afraid of such energy erosion. With this confidence, he continued to practice the mysterious skills while turning his mind to call out the two natal magic weapons.

The Sea-Covering and Heaven-Swallowing Gourd came out first. Not only was it a mysterious device, but it also focused on breathing, and was very tolerant. At this time, the essence of heaven and earth was countless, which made the spirit of the mysterious device that had already generated wisdom very happy. The whole gourd was rippling with joy, and the gourd opened its mouth wide, swallowing the essence of heaven and earth that rushed in.

For a moment, a gurgling sound was heard in the void, like a long-dried earth finally receiving a downpour of rain, which welcomed all who came.

Compared with the Sea-Covering Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, the other life-defining magic weapon, the True Dragon Locking, is only a spiritual weapon, and is much inferior in terms of weather. However, this treasure is more wood-based, and it is constantly alive and tenacious, and its absorption of the essence of heaven and earth should not be underestimated.

Just like that, one could soon see that the Locking True Dragon Dunting Pillar took shape, like a piece of emerald green wood floating up and down, with the green lotus flowers below blooming one after another, the green rising up, washing away all the dross, and the clear autumn for thousands of miles was all in it.

When the essence of heaven and earth comes over, the fine lines around the pile are elegant and light, and a brilliance emerges, like the green sound of a phoenix tree. Fine and fragmented sounds are heard, and when they touch the qi, star wheels of different sizes are formed, like thousands of blue stars, perfect and flawless.

The three superior profound skills, the three Luo Dao bodies, and the two natal magic weapons simultaneously devour and transform the essence of heaven and earth. As they improve, the speed of devouring the essence of heaven and earth also increases accordingly.

"Huh,"

Yuan Qinghua, the spirit of the artifact who was standing on the Jade Cauldron of Refining Truth, with her skirt fluttering, suddenly shifted her gaze to Zhou Qing. She looked at the vacuum created by the rapid absorption of the essence of heaven and earth around him, and the sense of collapse that looked shocking. She was startled at first, and then a look of shock emerged on her jade face.

She started with full firepower, trying her best to extract the essence of heaven and earth from the void. On the one hand, she came to the Jade Pivot Star Palace and saw this spiritual power beyond the cave heaven. She was overjoyed and couldn't control herself. On the other hand, she was a little intentional, wanting to extract as much essence of heaven and earth as possible and pour it into Zhou Qing's body to see if he couldn't bear it and begged for mercy.

After all, in the Zhen Gu Ming Xiu Guanghua Cave Heaven, she did not recognize the ray of essence of heaven and earth that the other party took out, which made her lose face. As a petty-minded spirit, she has always remembered it clearly.

However, as a soul-fusion cultivator like Zhou Qing, the amount of essence of heaven and earth that he can use and contain is limited. In Yuan Qinghua's opinion, with his unimaginable speed of refining and the astonishing supply of essence of heaven and earth, Zhou Qing will not be able to bear it for long.

But looking at the current situation, Zhou Qing not only shows no signs of being unable to bear it, but becomes more and more courageous as the battle goes on. Three colors of auspicious light blooms above his body, and it seems to be rising into the sky.

This level of containment power has already surpassed that of the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Luochuan Zhou family that the artifact spirit Yuan Qinghua had seen.

A cultivator at the Hepo realm is better than a Yuanying cultivator in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. This sounds like a fairy tale, but it happened right before Yuan Qinghua's eyes!

Yuan Qinghua opened his mouth slightly, unable to hide the shock in his eyes: No wonder the old Taoist Tianming was willing to use threats and inducements to force himself, a real weapon, to assist a young man with a soul-combining ability. It turns out that this young man from the Zhou family in Luochuan has such an incredible foundation, so deep that it is unprecedented in history.

"In that case,"

After the shock, Yuan Qinghua was aroused to feel resentful. She shook her body and fell into the Lianzhen Jade Cauldron. Infinite light bloomed from her body, covering the entire cauldron, and raising the power of the cauldron to a higher level.

She didn't believe it. No matter how extraordinary Zhou Qing was, he was still a Hepo cultivator. Could her real weapon not be enough to refine the essence of heaven and earth for his cultivation in a place like Yushu Xing Palace?
This time, Yuan Qinghua used his spirit body to control the Lianzhen Jade Cauldron with all his strength, releasing waves of power, dragging the dragon and phoenix, and shining precious light through the earth and the sky, attracting more essence of heaven and earth.

The next moment, there was a loud "boom" and the essence of heaven and earth gathered together, hanging upside down like the Milky Way, constantly washing Zhou Qing.

With each blow, the three-color light on Zhou Qing's body became more and more purified, and the trajectory of the mysterious power inside was revealed, like the annual rings of a thousand-year-old tree, slowly rotating. The afterglow of the collision went in all directions, fell on the ground, bounced again, and formed countless jade beads, crackling non-stop. For a moment, in the Cloud Pavilion, under the lotus throne, it was full of the sweet rain formed by the essence of heaven and earth, like a colorful rain, and the rain was filled with pure essence power.

"This arrogant spirit."

Of course, Zhou Qing, who was at the center, could not hide the changes in the essence of heaven and earth. He guessed most of it as soon as he thought about it. However, the essence of heaven and earth was indeed so much that even the halo on his own Sanluo Dao body seemed unable to contain it, and circles of colors fell to the ground. Compared with before, there was a sense of pressure.

Faced with pressure, Zhou Qing was neither hurried nor impatient. In his sea of ​​consciousness, the Green Pool of Rare Treasures of Good Fortune hung high in the sky, pouring out a little sweet rain, bringing clarity and brightness to the whole sea.

Just now, he was just practicing three profound skills, controlling two life magic weapons, pursuing a one-force victory over ten skills, and arbitrarily devouring the essence of heaven and earth extracted by the True Refining Jade Cauldron, but he didn't pay too much attention to the details, let alone striving for perfection. Now, Mi, facing more essence of heaven and earth, what he needs to do is not complicated, just pay attention to the details.

"detail."

Zhou Qing used the sweet rain from the Green Pool of Creation to nourish his divine will and strengthen his two spirits. He once again practiced the three profound skills, controlled his two life-saving magic weapons, or adjusted his Taoist body. He paid more attention to details, striving to do his best in every step and strive for perfection.

Undoubtedly, this state consumes more of his divine will and spiritual essence than before, but with the replenishment of the sweet rain from the Green Pool of Fortune, Zhou Qing can always stay in his prime, taking one step at a time, and each footprint is impeccable.

If he continued like this for a while, Zhou Qing would immediately discover that the coordination between his Dao body, Xuan Gong and his natal magic weapon was smoother. Not only could he accommodate and absorb more of the essence of heaven and earth, but the whole thing was also improving subtly.

He is now at the third level of soul-integration. To reach the third level of perfection, he must absorb a vast amount of essence from heaven and earth so that he will have enough strength to break the first-grade golden elixir in his body when he breaks into a new realm, allowing the Nascent Soul formed by the combination of essence, energy and spirit to come out smoothly.

The shell of the golden elixir is so solid that it is daunting. For ordinary cultivators who have a mid-grade golden elixir, it takes more than ten years or even decades of accumulation to break the shell of the golden elixir in their bodies, which shows how much essence of heaven and earth is needed. Zhou Qing's elixir is of the first grade, and the solidity of the golden elixir shell is even more unimaginable. How much essence of heaven and earth is needed?

No one knows, but I guess the more the better.

There is a certain limit for the cultivation in Yushu Star Palace. Zhou Qing believes that with his current state, he can absorb and devour the most essence of heaven and earth.

Time passed quickly, Zhou Qing felt that the True Jade Cauldron was constantly refining the essence of heaven and earth, and he stored it in his body through the profound skills. Every time it was compressed, the essence of heaven and earth inside seemed to be purified and became purer. If it continued like this, in the end, the essence of heaven and earth would probably undergo a transformation and its quality would improve.

Seeing this change, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, and he made a judgment. No matter how strong his Dao body was, the accumulated essence of heaven and earth was limited. At that time, he might not be able to break through the indestructible shell of the first-grade golden elixir with such a large amount of essence of heaven and earth. But if he could compress the essence of heaven and earth transformed by his profound skills again and improve its grade, it would be different.

To open the orifice of the golden elixir, not only the amount of heaven and earth essence in the body is considered, but also the quality of heaven and earth essence. Although there is no record of this in the classics, Zhou Qing has learned this secret passed down from his master Guan Dezhen or from the Zhou family in Luochuan.

Zhou Qing even obtained from the two major forces the secret technique of refining and upgrading the essence of heaven and earth after absorbing enough of it. This secret technique is the inheritance of the family and is very mysterious.

However, Zhou Qing originally felt that the essence of heaven and earth transformed into his Taoist body based on his three superior profound skills, "The Purple and Blue High Saint Yuanhuang Transformation into a Dragon", "The Book of Spiritual Life and Gold", and "The Wonderful Green Combined Skills" was already very pure and of a very high grade. It would be difficult to improve it without the use of secret techniques. Now, as he has refined the details of the operation of these three profound skills, there has been some progress.

In order to break the shell of the first-grade golden elixir, he would probably have to put in a little more effort to increase the grade of the essence of heaven and earth stored in his Taoist body to the maximum extent possible to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

When the level is no longer able to be upgraded and the number is sufficient, the clan's secret technique can be used to upgrade the last time. In the end, it will carry a large amount of the highest grade of heaven and earth essence to impact the Nascent Soul Realm and break through the first grade golden elixir.

Only in this way can one have the greatest hope of being promoted with the power of the first-grade golden elixir!
While Zhou Qing was thinking, he tried harder to restrain the three profound skills, taking one step at a time, striving for excellence and perfection. He not only wanted to absorb as much essence of heaven and earth as possible, but also to improve the grade of the essence of heaven and earth as much as possible.

Just like this, one was devoting all his energy to refining the True Jade Cauldron, and the other was striving for perfection in the three methods and had a deep foundation in practicing them, almost to the point of being the first in the third level of Hepo, the two of them, one guiding and the other absorbing, unconsciously formed a virtuous circle, and the visions they caused became increasingly larger and the momentum became increasingly astonishing.

Not knowing how far away Zhou Qing was, there was a grand hall. Inside the hall, it was full of silver-white, like the moon after a light rain. Outside, there were tiny and fragmented precious characters, like the rustling rain, presenting a sky-blue color. Where the silver-white and sky-blue met, there was a high platform.

On one side of the platform was a painting of a pine forest and a spring, on the other side was a painting of the Qingming Jupiter, under a crystal curtain on one side, and under a moon palace laurel tree on the other side. A Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on it, with a cloud of celebration on the top of the door, and above the cloud of celebration, there were thousands of golden lanterns. He woke up from his trance, and as if he had a sense, he just happened to see the strange phenomenon caused by Zhou Qing and the real jade tripod, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The sect's supreme elder had long eyebrows that looked sharp. He didn't hold a whisk in his hand, but a pair of mountain and river beads, which sounded like thunder when he turned them.

"Who is this?"

A ray of light flashed from the eyes of this supreme elder, and he looked at the colorful light rising into the sky with a deep voice.
