I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 407: Refining sword pills, ascending treasure gourd, entering the evil mountain!
"Body? Method?"

Seeing this vague information, Gu Yuan was slightly stunned and a little confused.

Body seal? Dharma seal?
Or the physical body or magic power?
Gu Yuan originally thought that after the stone liquid evolved, there would be flowing pictures and shadows, and he could get all the information, but he didn't expect that it was still so blurry?
But when he recalled that the picture of Silver Chance had no color before, he understood again.

It should be a golden opportunity, which is more profound and exceeds the limit of stone painting.

"It's useless to think too much, I'd better remember the location of the opportunity as soon as possible."

A flash of doubt passed through his mind, and then Gu Yuan concentrated his attention and quickly wrote down all the opportunities he could see in his field of vision.

The only pity is that, in the field of vision, apart from this light golden opportunity, most of them are cyan opportunities, with only two opportunities with cyan and silver flashing slightly.

But a light golden opportunity is already precious enough, and Gu Yuan doesn't dare to ask for too much.

"boom!"

He noted the location of each opportunity, and then the light and shadow flowed and dissipated, and Gu Yuan's eyes returned to normal.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, but we should increase our strength first."

After putting away the stone bottle, Gu Yuan pondered in his heart.

His cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of Daotai, his magic power is 20,000 strands, and his spiritual power has increased further, comparable to the peak of Daotai.

However, some measures have not been able to keep up with the pace.

Especially Jianwan.

The fourth-grade inferior sword ball was already unable to penetrate the defense of some ferocious beasts with thick flesh and had to be blessed by the Xingtian Seal, which greatly restricted Gu Yuan's means.

The territory of a fifth-level ferocious beast is truly a den of dragons and tigers. We must be cautious, even if we are a little late.

"boom!"

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan did not hesitate and directly took out the [Genjin Broken Yuan Stone] and [Sword Spirit Jinyi Grass]. The green fetal fire in his palm surged, wrapped around the two objects, and began to smelt them.

The sword pill is different from ordinary spiritual treasures. It has its own magical powers. As long as there is the essence of gold and silver, the sword pill can automatically absorb and melt it, and then be promoted to improve its quality.

Therefore, even if Gu Yuan is not a master of weapon refining, he can easily complete this promotion step.

"And the treasure gourd was also promoted!"

Flames surged in the palm of his hand, and Gu Yuan was multitasking. With a flash of light, a gilded treasure gourd appeared in the void from between his sleeves.

On the treasure gourd, ancient Taoist characters trembled slightly, revealing a strong sense of solemnity and murderous intent.

Although it is just a magic weapon, it has an aura that would make even the Taoist fetus look at it with admiration.

Refining treasure to cut the sky gourd!
Although this gourd is only a third-tier magic weapon, it is definitely a powerful weapon in Gu Yuan's hands.

It's because of this treasure's killing power and evolutionary ability that no other treasure can compare to it.

Although the Heaven-Slaying Essence in the gourd has the power of only one strike, this strike will surely cause a cultivator of the same realm to lose his head and die on the spot.

Compared with ordinary fourth-level spiritual treasures, it is not even in the same league.

Not to mention, the ability to grow by refining treasures.

The only pity is that although this treasure can grow, it cannot cross the threshold of spiritual treasure.

This is an extremely critical step, and Gu Yuan still needs to lend a helping hand.

"go with!"

With a thought, a green treasure pot appeared in his sleeves, with golden and silver liquids flowing in the pot, like the sun and the moon shining together, and falling on the treasure gourd.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The treasure gourd suddenly trembled, and a feeling of joy spread out. The Taoist characters on it were wrapped in the light of the sun and the moon, shining brightly, and actually began to evolve automatically.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and then stopped looking at it. Instead, he calmed his mind and began to smelt the [Genjin Broken Yuan Stone] and [Sword Spirit Jinyi Grass].

For a moment, the cave was silent, with only the sound of gushing flames being heard.

……

……

This smelting process took seven days.

Seven days later, Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, with divine light shining in his eyes.

I saw that there was no trace of the [Genjin Broken Yuan Stone] and [Sword Spirit Jinyi Grass] in his palm, only two balls of "spiritual liquid", one blue and one gold, floating up and down.

“I hope I can reach the top grade!”

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, then stretched out his hand and shot two balls of "spiritual liquid" into the sword ball that had been waiting for a long time.

"Cang! Cang!"

The spiritual liquid seeped into the sword ball bit by bit, and crisp sounds continued to emerge.

Each drop of spiritual liquid is like a small hammer, constantly hammering the sword ball, hammering out the impurities inside, and then integrating itself into it, forging a sharper and stronger sword ball.

In the void, wisps of spiritual energy continued to emerge and fall into the sword ball.

Wipe away the dust and the pearl will reappear.

The sword ball seemed to have not changed, but it became brighter and brighter, like a dazzling gem, shining in the air.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately closed his eyes, immersed his mind in it, and connected with the sword ball.

In an instant, dazzling sword patterns appeared on the sword ball, half of which looked like the bright sun, and the other half looked like the bright moon. Yin and Yang complemented each other, and the two poles moved. A mysterious aura kept moving.

"boom!"

Suddenly, an intense spiritual light gushed out, and within the spiritual light, there was also an extremely strong sword intent. Even though there were restrictions set up by Gu Yuan in the cave, a big hole was still pierced in the rock wall above his head, revealing bright light outside the cave.

"It's done!"

Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan was not surprised but happy.

With the help of [Genjin Shattered Yuan Stone] and [Sword Spirit Jinyi Grass], this Liangyi Sword Pill, which already had a strong foundation, directly broke through two levels and reached the fourth level of top grade!

Although Gu Yuan hoped that the sword pill could break through to the top grade, [Genjin Shattered Yuan Stone] and [Sword Spirit Jin Yi Grass] were only fourth-grade mid-grade spiritual materials. Even though [Genjin Shattered Yuan Stone] was the spiritual essence in the mine and its quality was much stronger than ordinary fourth-grade Jin Yi objects, it was still quite difficult to upgrade a fourth-grade top-grade spiritual treasure.

Only a 40% chance.

But unexpectedly, the final result really gave him a surprise.

The fourth-grade top-quality item is already a treasure among spiritual treasures and is extremely powerful.

"The only pity is that with my current mana, I'm afraid I can't use my full power to activate the Liang Yi Sword Pill, otherwise it will be sucked dry very quickly..."

"But fortunately, the spiritual treasure is extraordinary."

The sword pill felt warm and cool in his hand, which shocked Gu Yuan. He practiced it carefully and sighed.

The higher the level of a magic weapon, the better it is. Just like the weapons of mortal warriors, long swords and large spears weighing dozens of pounds are not something that everyone can wield.

The same is true for Lingbao.

The more powerful the spiritual treasure is, the higher the magic power required from the cultivator.

When he was in the Jindan realm, Gu Yuan had always been able to activate magical weapons that surpassed his level. This was because his magic power was so strong that it far exceeded that of people in the same realm, so he was naturally fearless.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would probably be drained of energy after just a few strikes.

This is also the reason why most cultivators like to use magic seals when fighting. Compared with magic weapons, magic seals consume much less mana and are more powerful, so they are naturally the first choice in fighting.

When using magic seals to fight the enemy, one can cast more than ten seals in a row, but no one can activate more than ten magic weapons in a row.

But the reason why spiritual treasure is called "spiritual" is because this treasure has spirit and can be activated once or twice by itself without consuming the monk's magic power.

A fourth-grade, top-quality sword pill can be used once on its own.

It is also because of this that when one reaches the Daotai realm, the cultivator's love for spiritual treasures reaches a new level. After all, having one more spiritual treasure is no longer a burden, but a real help that can be of great use.

However, the refining of spiritual treasures requires the flow of the sun and the moon, which is why spiritual treasures have not been flooded.

But when facing the enemy in the future, I am afraid we will have to compete with each other in spiritual treasures!
However, there is no need to worry too much in Yaoyuan Mountain at this moment, as it is impossible for fierce beasts to have spiritual treasures. Gu Yuan got a fourth-level top-grade sword pill. In times of crisis, he can launch a late-stage Daotai attack without consuming mana, which is a small means of saving his life.

After putting away the sword ball, Gu Yuan turned his head and looked at the treasure gourd that was still absorbing the slurry of the sun and the moon, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

The magic gourd has not yet been fully upgraded, but it will be soon.

Gu Yuan estimated that it would be almost done in about a day and a half.

However, although the magic gourd has not yet been fully upgraded, Gu Yuan has already guessed its final quality.

I'm afraid it's only of the lower fourth grade.

The Heaven-Slaying Essence contained within can instantly kill an early stage Dao fetus with one strike.

If this ability was given to other Taoist monks, they would probably laugh their heads off. But to Gu Yuan, it was a little lacking.

But in a flash, Gu Yuan calmed down.

The purpose of the Treasure Refining Heaven-Zhan Gourd ultimately lies in the word "treasure refining". Only by smelting spiritual treasures and absorbing their essence can this gourd have extremely powerful power.

Otherwise you will just be lost in the crowd.

He currently has a magic treasure in his hand, which is the [Ten Thousand Souls Moon-Devouring Bottle], which was distributed after defeating the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion. It is a fourth-level lower grade.

However, this spiritual treasure is unlikely to play a big role in feeding the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, and then decided to give up for the time being and not upgrade the treasure gourd.

After making up his mind, Gu Yuan took out more than ten pieces of thunder-attribute spiritual materials, ignited the fetal fire, and began to smelt them.

After deducing from the Dao Tree in "The True Scripture of the Innate Yuanqi to the Divine Sky", one not only has the ability to reverse the innate yuanqi, but also has an extremely strong comprehension of the Taoist scriptures about thunder, and the methods of [Divine Sky Thunder Seal] and [Five Thunder Seals] are naturally born from it.

These two thunder techniques, one is a brilliant divine thunder, best at eliminating evil spirits; the other contains the changes of the five elements and can separate the thunder of the five elements, each with its own unique abilities.

But in general, these two thunder methods are not powerful killing seals. In fact, their power is far less than that of the Five Thunder Punishment Heaven Seal, but they contain changes in thunder methods and can be used to deal with many different occasions.

It just so happened that he needed to wait for the treasure gourd to be upgraded, so Gu Yuan simply took advantage of this time to refine the two seals.

"boom!"

Green flames gushed out, and pieces of thunder-attributed spiritual materials melted one by one. Then the Taoist patterns on them were peeled off, and finally they were wrapped up by a ball of powerful magic power, turning into a mysterious magic seal that could communicate between heaven and earth.

……

……

"Roar!"

"Ow!"

"Woo!"

The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.

Ancient trees are towering, and thick miasma is like fog, covering the entire mountain. As the moonlight shines, it looks eerie and creepy.

Countless wild beasts and ferocious animals let out sharp howls and began to walk out of their nests, preparing to look for food.

Gusts of scarlet wind, accompanied by impenetrable miasma, filled the entire mountain with the aura of demons.

At this moment, under the moonlight, a tall figure, wearing a gray stone coat as thin as a cicada's wing, was quietly descending from the distant clouds and entering the foot of the mountain.

"Such a strong fishy smell, without any spiritual energy at all, it looks like a devil's cave..."

This figure was naturally Gu Yuan.

Several hours ago, he made all the preparations, put on the thought-avoiding robe, and broke into the northern border of Yushou Mountain.

This place is already the hunting territory of the fifth-level ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan had the magical robe that could avoid thoughts. As long as the ferocious beasts in the mountains did not have a physical body and the ability to see through his magic eyes, they would not be able to see through his tracks.

Although the Thought-Avoiding Divine Robe is powerful, it also has a flaw. That is, when wearing the robe, one cannot use too much magical power, otherwise the strong will see through it.

At that time, the stone tiger with seal patterns secretly attacked Gu Yuan because Gu Yuan's spiritual power had not yet surpassed the stone tiger by a major realm. However, the land in front of them was the territory of the fifth-level ferocious beasts. Even if these ferocious beasts were not very intelligent, they would be discovered if Gu Yuan used too much magic power.

So he didn't dare to escape too fast and could only fly slowly into the air. It took him several hours to finally land in the mountain with a strong fishy smell.

Of course, he was not idle during this period of time. He carefully collected some opportunities that could be collected along the way.

Several of the spiritual herbs are very valuable and can increase magical power.

Thanks to the thought-avoiding magic robe and the fact that the ferocious beasts were not very intelligent, he was able to enter the mountain safely.

Gu Yuan didn’t know the name of this mountain, but it was very close to the border of Yaoyuan Mountain.

Even from a distance, Gu Yuan could feel a palpitation in his heart.

It seems as if there is some ferocious beast hiding in the mountains.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Gu Yuan carefully jumped a foot into the air, broke into the thick miasma, and flew towards the top of the mountain.

The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the thicker the miasma becomes.

It contains a strong poison. If a Jindan cultivator comes here, he will probably feel dizzy and faint on the ground in a short while.

In the miasma, a group of ferocious beasts whose names Gu Yuan could not remember were lurking there, and occasional sounds of fighting could be heard.

The violent biting sound was enough to make a Jindan cultivator tremble with fear.

This mountain is vast, covering an unknown area. Inside, there are towering ancient trees, countless exotic grasses, and all kinds of wild beasts. Therefore, it can support many ferocious beasts and the terrifying existence on the top of the mountain.

Gu Yuan shuttled through the miasma and saw several priceless spiritual herbs, which looked like green lotuses growing out of the mud without being stained, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

But he did not pick them.

He came here for the pale golden opportunity.

To do this, we must be careful and never allow any accidents to happen.

Even though it was a fifth-level ferocious beast without any intelligence, Gu Yuan was not sure he could deal with it.

This is a truly dangerous place and we cannot afford to be careless.

Just like this, like a ghost, it shuttled through the miasma little by little. After more than an hour, the miasma slowly dissipated, and a wide rock finally appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

This rock is a hundred feet wide and sits on the top of a mountain. Above the top of the mountain, there is a bright moon as big as a silver plate hanging in the sky, shining behind the rock. It is quiet and dark, and has a fairy-like atmosphere.

There was total silence near the rocks, but occasionally thunder could be heard.

Gu Yuan looked carefully and saw a ferocious beast with deer antlers on its head, a body like a tiger, four hooves like a horse, and a tail like a snake. It was lying on the rocks and sleeping soundly.

Its breathing was accompanied by a terrifying snoring sound like thunder.

Even though they were hundreds of feet apart, Gu Yuan could still feel a palpitation in his heart. The blood and energy of this ferocious beast seemed to have made the bright moon above the rocks lose its color.

It was like a furnace, burning fiercely among the rocks.

A fifth-order, mid-grade ferocious beast, a chimera!

This is not the auspicious sign in mythology, but a ferocious beast that was born from mutation. Its blood and energy are as strong as the sky. It possesses the power of four beasts and is extremely ferocious!

At the end of the sleeping rocks, there is an ancient tree with a crown like a canopy and a trunk like a coiled dragon.

Half of the branches of the ancient tree were hanging in the air between the cliffs. The mountain wind blew up from the bottom of the cliff, and the ancient tree suddenly rustled like a wind chime.

When the mountain breeze blew, the fruits under the ancient trees were suddenly revealed.

It was a strange fruit, shaped like a baby, the size of a fist, and shining brightly, like it was made of white jade.

"Is this... Nascent Soul Fruit?"

Gu Yuan looked far away and saw the fruit clearly, and was immediately amazed.
