I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 352: The sun and the moon flow, and the sword ball is promoted!
"Promote to the fourth-level spiritual treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yunyang was also slightly startled, then he looked at Gu Yuan's sword ball, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he revealed a look of understanding.

"You really have a great chance."

"Most of the spiritual treasures in the world are refined from scratch after being promoted to Daotai. Treasures like yours that can be promoted directly are rare."

Master Yunyang sighed.

Digging the foundation and rebuilding a new house is sometimes more convenient than renovating it. After all, it is extremely difficult to turn a wooden house into a metal house.

"This sword pill of yours contains the transformation of yin and yang, and has the image of yin and yang, like a furnace. It is indeed mysterious and extraordinary."

"This Moonlight Sword Pill is pure and unparalleled. It is not like a metal object. It is just full of moonlight. If it can be integrated into your Liangyi Sword Pill and then transformed into Yin and Yang, it is indeed possible to be promoted to a fourth-level spiritual treasure."

"But there is still a key thing missing!"

Master Yunyang stroked his beard and smiled.

Sure enough, there was something missing!
Gu Yuan suddenly understood and bowed to ask, "Please teach me, Dean!"

"The key to spiritual treasures is the word 'spiritual'. Under the Daotai, although magic treasures are powerful, they are only auxiliary. They need to be controlled by cultivators and controlled with their minds to kill the enemy."

“But the spiritual treasure is extraordinary, it has some intelligence, and can kill the enemy on its own. The cultivator does not even need to control it with the mind. Moreover, its power is vast, far beyond that of ordinary people. It can even absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, control magic to hurt the enemy, and is equivalent to a half-Dao fetus.”

"After your Liangyi Sword Pill is fused with this Yuehua Sword Pill, its quality may be up to par, but it is still not enough to achieve a qualitative change and gain extraordinary spirituality."

"Only by obtaining the [Sun and Moon Flowing Slurry] and pouring it into a magic weapon can the magic weapon be elevated and truly become a spiritual treasure."

Master Yunyang explained.

"Sun and Moon Flowing Slurry?"

This was the first time Gu Yuan heard of this treasure.

"This item is a treasure formed by condensing the essence of the sun and the moon to the extreme. It can allow magic weapons to be watered by the essence of the sun and the moon, greatly increasing their spirituality and raising their grade!"

"You want to upgrade your third-tier magic weapon to a fourth-tier spiritual treasure. This item is of utmost importance and is indispensable."

"Even Taoist Master Daotai must use this when forging spiritual treasures!"

Master Yunyang said with a smile.

Gu Yuan understood and asked again, "May I ask where can I get this Sun and Moon Flowing Slurry?"

Hearing this, Master Yunyang stroked his beard and laughed: "Since you have come to me for help, how can I let you go empty-handed?!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and a crystal clear jade bottle flew out and landed in Gu Yuan's palm.

In the jade bottle, a ball of golden liquid and a ball of silver liquid were entangled with each other, seemingly blending together, yet also seemed clearly separated and did not blend with each other.

In the golden liquid, the brilliant essence of the sun flickers brightly; in the silver liquid, the moonlight flows like the emperor's slurry, which makes people's souls tremble.

"This is the Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid that was left over when I forged the spiritual treasure. It is useless to keep it now, so I will give it to you. It should be enough for you to upgrade this sword pill!"

"Obtaining the fourth-level sword pill is equivalent to having a half-step Dao-born sword cultivator with you. This will give you more confidence in conquering Mount Jiuyi!"

Master Yunyang said with a smile.

During this great battle, Gu Yuan's strength increased greatly, which was a good thing for both him and the Taoist Academy.

"Thank you for the reward, Dean!"

Gu Yuan was also surprised and bowed to express his gratitude.

But then, he hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "May I ask, Master, if there is more Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid? I am willing to spend all my life to find some more."

Gu Yuan had never heard of this Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid before. Now that he had caught the dean, he naturally could not let him go.

Moreover, after getting along with him, he has discovered that the dean has excellent manners. With his current status, asking for flowing blood will not annoy the dean.

"You want more of this paste?"

"This bottle of mine is enough for you to advance to the Sword Pill level. There should be some left over. What do you want this juice for?"

Master Yunyang was somewhat puzzled.

It is true that he is a Taoist immortal, but that does not mean he can see through everything. At Gu Yuan's current level, the magic weapon is stored in his body, but it is covered by his physical body and soul. Unless he tries his best to investigate, he will not be able to know what magic weapon Gu Yuan has hidden on him.

And given Gu Yuan's identity, how could he spy like that?

It's normal to have doubts.

Gu Yuan did not hide it and took out the Zhuoyun Dingjie Gui, presented it in front of him and said, "My disciple has another treasure that has been nurtured for thousands of years. It is only one step away from being promoted to a spiritual treasure, so I would like to ask for a portion of the Sun and Moon Flowing Liquid."

In fact, what he wanted to upgrade most was the Refining Treasure Zhantian Gourd, but even in front of the dean, it was not easy to reveal all his cards, so for the time being he only showed the Zhuoyun Dingjie Gui and asked for a portion of the Sun and Moon Flowing Juice.

Upon seeing this, Master Yunyang sighed: "Your luck..."

Then he said helplessly: "The Sun and Moon Flowing Slurry can only be produced occasionally in the fourth-level strange land where the essence of the sun and the moon converge. It is a necessary item for spiritual treasures and is extremely precious. I originally had one in my hand, and Fellow Daoist Cangming also had one, but they were all used up in order to refine the [Zhanyue Qiankun Plate], and there is really no more."

"This item is precious. There aren't many of them in Dongshan Region. There are very few of them outside. It's hard for me to find it right now."

"But don't worry. The Tianyao Sect has owned Mount Jiuyi for many years. The ancient spiritual veins of this mountain, where yin and yang meet, happen to be the place where the Sun and Moon Flowing Slurry is produced. After years of accumulation, there should be some surplus. If you get this mountain, I can allow you another share."

Gu Yuan was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

But he also knew that after practicing to his current level, every step forward would be extremely difficult, so he quickly calmed down and thanked Master Yunyang.

"Thank you, Master. It was I who was anxious."

Master Yunyang shook his head gently: "It's not your fault. You should practice diligently and make progress if you can. In the final analysis, it's because my Qingfeng Taoist Academy lacks foundation and can't give you much help..."

When he thought of this, his expression became serious.

"So this expedition to Mount Jiuyi must be successful!"

"I have already made an agreement with Master Cangming that he will take the corpse of the great demon and the treasures of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion first, and my Taoist temple will occupy the entire Jiuyi Mountains!"

"With this mountain as a foundation, you, Tiandou, and Jianhu will have a place to practice. This is a foundation that has been passed down for thousands of years. The general trend is changing, and the undercurrent is surging. We must take the lead, otherwise we will suffer at every step..."

There was a hint of urgency in Master Yunyang's voice.

"Disciple will definitely try his best to break the Jiuyi Mountain formation!"

When Gu Yuan heard this, he was also startled and responded immediately.

The Nanshan area is indeed a bit barren.

The Qingxiao secret realm of the Taoist temple alone is not enough to support a new Taoist fetus.

If the Taoist temple wants to go further, it must go on a conquest!
"Tian Dou and Jian Hu are both aware of this matter, but it is not appropriate to make a big move at this time. We will gather again in six months using the teleportation method."

"This is the method of operating the Jiuyi Mountain formation. You can study it carefully. I also have some experience in smelting fourth-level spiritual treasures. During this period of time, you should not go out. Practice in Qianlang Sect with peace of mind and refine the sword pills. If you have any questions about practice, feel free to come and ask me."

Yunyang took out a jade slip and a token, handed them to Gu Yuan, and gave him some instructions.

"Yes, Dean!"

Gu Yuan responded.

"Then go down and practice!"

Everything was done. Master Yunyang waved his sleeves and a water wave portal appeared behind Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan bowed, stepped into the portal, and then disappeared into the secret realm.

When he appeared again, he had returned to the hall of Master Shenyi.

The Master of Divine Clothes had already stood there waiting. When he saw Gu Yuan coming, he immediately said with a smile:

"Junior brother, you have now been promoted to a great monk. The original cave hall is no longer suitable for cultivation. I have ordered people to find a new cave for you. You can follow my boy and go there!"

After saying that, a little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, came out holding a jade token and bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan.

"Thank you so much, senior brother!"

Gu Yuan was not polite at the moment and bowed with a smile. The late stage of Jindan cultivation is a qualitative change compared to the previous middle stage. When the strange phenomenon appears, the spiritual energy from thousands of miles away roars and rolls in, with great momentum.

This kind of practice requires the blessing of a third-grade, top-grade spiritual vein, combined with a formation, in order not to disturb others.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy would roar for thousands of miles, and ordinary cultivators would not be able to practice at all, and all the spiritual energy would be forcibly deprived.

This is also the reason why cultivators above the Daotai level are like dragons that are hard to find, rarely go out, and practice in their own caves or secret realms.

Depriving Wanli of his power and snatching away his spiritual energy is too horrifying.

There is a reason why the mountain gates of large sects are often tens of thousands of miles away. Without such vast lands and spiritual veins, how can they support top monks?

……

……

"Master, this is the Changxi Palace!"

Gu Yuan followed the Taoist boy and flew up on a cloud. Not long after, they arrived at a secluded lake.

This area of ​​water was covered by thick fog, blocking all divine sense detection. Even an ordinary late Jindan cultivator would find it difficult to see the scenery inside.

But Gu Yuan's spiritual awareness was vast. Through the fog, he saw an exquisite jade palace standing on a green lotus. On the golden plaque on the palace were two large characters written: "Chang Xi".

"The spiritual energy of this temple comes from the water veins. If you practice here, you can get spiritual inspiration from thousands of miles away without causing any abnormalities. It is most suitable!"

"I have already ordered everyone to prepare everything you need. Master, you can practice with peace of mind. If you have any instructions, just call me with the token!"

The little Taoist boy handed Gu Yuan a jade token, and then, seeing that he had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left.

……

Gu Yuan took a big step and his figure disappeared above the clouds. When he reappeared, he was already in the Changxi Palace.

The hall is elegantly decorated, with cushions woven with jade and gold threads. It is luxurious yet not exaggerated, revealing the details of a fourth-level sect in the Dongshan Domain.

The spiritual energy in the hall is so rich that it has almost reached the peak of the third-level spiritual vein. Among the floating spiritual energy inside, you can vaguely see the shapes of deer and foals.

Gu Yuan took a quick look at it, then sat down on the cushion, calmed his mind, and began to practice.

"boom!"

In an instant, misty lightning accompanied by rolling thunder appeared behind Gu Yuan. The spiritual energy in the hall swept through like a tsunami and was absorbed into his body.

Not only that, among the rolling thunder and fog, one could vaguely see a real thunder dragon swimming, with its mouth slightly open, ready to swallow everything.

The spiritual energy in the hall was sucked away in an instant, but fortunately, there seemed to be an infinite reserve of spiritual power under the hall, which swept over like a wave and was absorbed by Gu Yuan.

This practice lasts for ten days.

Ten days later, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"With my current aptitude and the blessing of the vision, as long as I have enough spiritual energy, it is no problem for me to generate ten strands of golden mana per year. Compared with ordinary Jindan cultivators, I can already be called a genius..."

He now has two thousand eight hundred strands of golden magic power, and is only one thousand two hundred strands away from the peak of the golden elixir.

If one relies on one's own practice, it will only take one hundred and twenty years to reach the peak of the Golden Elixir realm.

This speed is already extremely fast.

But when it comes to the path of cultivation, as long as it does not damage the foundation, everyone wants to be faster.

One step faster means greater hope and the opportunity to enter the next realm.

As far as Gu Yuan knows, none of the current Daotai cultivators are stuck at the thousand-year limit of the Golden Core stage and unable to break through.

Only those who transcend common sense can enter an incredible realm.

Above the Taotai, there is the Yuanxiang, above the Yuanxiang, there is the Tianling, and after the Tianling is the Mahayana.

Originally, Gu Yuan had achieved the late stage of Golden Elixir and was already somewhat contented. However, when he heard about the subsequent state from the Heart-Eating Bug, he suddenly felt that the path to immortality was ethereal and out of reach, and he had only just started to climb.

"First sacrifice the sword pill!"

But in just a moment, Gu Yuan calmed down.

Now that his magic power is full and his soul is complete, it is a good time to upgrade the sword ball.

If it succeeds, this item will become his biggest trump card, and it should not be a problem for him to dominate the Golden Core realm.

The Tianyao Sect is just a mere sect, and it can be killed with one sword!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately took out the jade slip given by Master Yunyang and read it carefully.

After a long time, he slowly put down the jade slip.

As soon as the jade slip was put down, Gu Yuan's expression became serious, and without any hesitation, the fire in his palm became stronger and stronger, taking on a gilded color and rolling down.

"boom!"

The scorching heat instantly distorted the void.

Then Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, and the Liangyi Sword Ball jumped and fell onto the Dan Fire.

The pill fire was scorching hot, but the sword pill was of such a high quality that it was not affected by the fire at all. Instead, it was jumping and playing in the fire.

Gu Yuan was not surprised when he saw this. He just waved his sleeves again, and the Moonlight Sword Pill was also swept up by the rolling magic power and fell into the pill fire.

"boom!"

The fire of the elixir was surging, but the Moon Sword Pill only trembled slightly. In an instant, silver light was spread out like moon dew, and the power of the moon gushed out, revealing the shadow of a bright moon in the sky.

The pill fire dimmed in an instant. Not only did it fail to melt the sword pill, but it seemed as if it was about to be "extinguished" by the moonlight of the sword pill.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan remained unmoved.

Dan fire is originally used for refining treasures and engraving marks, and it is not the rare fire in the world used for refining tools.

These two sword balls are of extremely high grade. Even ordinary third-grade superior exotic fire may not be able to smelt them successfully, let alone a mere pill fire?
"go with!"

If you want to fuse the sword pill, Dan Fire is only auxiliary, the real main force is still the Liangyi Sword Pill!

"boom!"

With a light shout from Gu Yuan, the Liangyi Sword Ball suddenly "exploded".

It was not a destructive explosion, but countless sword patterns flew out from the sword ball, like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Countless sword patterns shone brightly, forming the shape of two yin and yang, and then they suddenly swam around like a giant yin and yang fish, swallowing the Moonlight Sword Pill in one gulp.

"Buzz!"

The Yuehua Sword Ball trembled continuously, and the rich Taiyin power surged out along with the sharp sword energy, as if trying to pierce the "fish's belly".

But the Yin-Yang Fish seemed to have a furnace in its belly, containing everything. The trembling of the Yuehua Sword Ball only lasted for a few breaths before it was suppressed.

"call out!"

Then the yin and yang fish swam continuously in the air, as if it was "digesting".

"boom!"

The elixir fire surged and the magic power surged. In the hall, it gathered into an endless rolling golden sea of ​​fire, in which the yin and yang fish swam.

The sword's power surged, the elixir fire continued to burn, and there seemed to be a flash of silver light in Gu Yuan's eyes. In the hall, there was silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the Yin-Yang fish suddenly jumped, and its swimming body suddenly stopped. Then its body continued to shrink, but in an instant, it became a round ball the size of a longan, with yin and yang colors.

The Yin-Yang sword intent flickered continuously, as if there was some "intention" inside that wanted to break out of the shell, but it lacked the strength and could not do so.

"Wow!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan did not hesitate at all. He stretched out his hand and threw the jade bottle. The gold and silver liquids fell down like two dragon waterfalls and fell onto the sword ball.
