Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 453: Golden Elixir and Apprenticeship

An old cow dressed in armor and holding a mixed iron stick stood outside the cave like a door god, and the civet cat was hiding in the dark. This was only what happened on the surface. In the cave where Yan Xu was in seclusion, he used the Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banner to deploy a large formation. Even a wandering immortal would have a headache with this scene. Only then did Yan Xu feel relieved and started to break through.

First, take out the jade bottle filled with soybean-sized inner elixirs. The inner elixirs inside have been purified. Although their size has shrunk a lot, they are purer and slightly yellowish. They look like amber. There are also miniature birds, beasts, fish and insects in the middle, which are lifelike and even full of vitality. This is the purified essence of the inner elixir.

Many people think that swallowing the monster's inner elixir can improve their cultivation, but this is not entirely true.

If you are strong enough and can expel impurities, there is no problem with eating this way, especially for monsters, who don't even need to expel impurities.

If one is not strong enough, indigestion is a minor matter. The most feared thing is to be eroded by the monster essence in the inner elixir, become a half-demon, and even have the possibility of taking over another body and being reborn.

What worries Yan Xu is that the origin of monsters is not an impurity, but rather a purer essence of life. Just like the weird essence still retains its weird characteristics, it cannot be separated at all. So taking a small amount is fine, but taking too much or taking it for a long time may turn it into a genetically modified organism.

Now that he had the spirit pearl, things were different. Yan Xu tried to take one. The essence of the elixir melted in his mouth, and then only pure magic power and life essence merged into his body. However, a certain biological essence contained in it was extracted and preserved by the spirit pearl.

If he practices the art of transformation in the future, Yan Xu can perfectly transform into these creatures by relying on the essence of these creatures, which can be called a special version of the Seventy-Two Transformations.

After consuming a lot of inner elixir essences and reaching the limit of his body's endurance, Yan Xu hurriedly clicked the breakthrough button. Immediately, his dantian turned into a black hole, drawing in the extremely vigorous three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. The original water elixir also gradually transformed into some special crystals.

Yan Xu took the opportunity to integrate the water and fire energies extracted from the Tai Chi diagram into the elixir energy, refining it to be more pure. As for the aura of the two generals, the turtle and the snake, which had been contaminated before, it was nothing in front of the spirit bead.

Although this is not as good as the fully-developed Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill, it is much better than ordinary golden pills.

Because he had eaten a lot of inner elixir essence in advance, the golden elixir formed this time was not malnourished, and the grains were full and round. From time to time, the water and fire energies turned into turtles and snakes swimming in the dantian, and the magic power was also rendered with the power of water and fire. Yan Xu could completely manipulate the water and fire elements. It was a bit like awakening some special ability, just like his ability to discharge electricity, except that one came from the body and the other came from the golden elixir.

Every step in spiritual practice is a threshold, and this step is particularly important, because refining a golden elixir is the key to transforming from a human into an immortal.

Yan Xu now feels very conflicted. His body is very weak, and the essence of his inner elixir cannot be immediately transformed into the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit which have been extracted in large quantities. Those are the purest essence of a person, and even if he takes a panacea, it will take time to replenish them.

While feeling weak, Yan Xu also felt that he was terrifyingly strong, as if he was omnipotent and could cover the world with just one hand.

However, he was very clear that this was an illusion. The cultivators in the Jindan stage were very strong, but not that strong. Obviously, this was just an illusion caused by the sudden increase in the level of life.

Just like how humans and mice are terribly stronger than nature, is it possible to say that humans are invincible?
Therefore, Yan Xu needs time to adapt, hone his skills, and find his position again.

With the spirit pearl, his overly depleted essence, energy and spirit were quickly replenished, allowing him to get rid of his physical weakness, but there was no good way to deal with the mental illusion.

Either you hone your skills slowly to find your correct position, or you find a strong opponent to beat you up, both have the same effect.

Yan Xu is better, he is not limited to one world. Although he has not seen more, he knows how big the world outside is. His ability is really nothing, so he will not do anything stupid.

As soon as he came out of seclusion, Yan Xu heard someone kneeling outside the cave and wanted to become his disciple. He immediately turned his attention to the sick beauty, because this was her cave before.

"I don't know? And there's already a stone tablet of the Ghost Tomb Sect outside the cave." Lin Xiangqiao hurriedly shook her head and said, "Is the Ghost Tomb Sect so famous? Is it worth it for the other party to kneel outside for three days and three nights to become a disciple?" Yan Xu said in confusion. If it was really so famous, how could he, the head of the sect, not know about it?
The Ghost Tomb Sect is certainly not that famous. After all, if you add up the hundreds of years, you would need more hands to count the number of its leaders and disciples. And they are all otakus. They only accept disciples based on who is unlucky enough to fall into their trap. How could the sect have such a reputation?

As for Lin Xiangqiao, let alone her. Her strange martial arts made her notoriously weak. She couldn't even hide, let alone fight with others, let alone gain fame.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu turned his gaze to the ghost boy. Could it be that he attracted him?

Not many people know that the Ghost Boy is the disciple of the Old Man with the Bitter Staff, but if you really want to find out, you may be able to find out. After all, the Ghost Boy has been wandering around Yinshan many times before.

"Let her in." Yan Xu didn't know the other party's purpose, but his increased strength gave him a lot of confidence, so he planned to meet the other party.

At this time, outside the cave, under the stone tablet with the three words "Ghost Tomb Sect" engraved on it, a young girl was kneeling. She looked young, but had a broad mind. Although she was wearing tight clothes, they were quite exquisite. It was obvious that she came from a noble family. No one knew why she ran to this poor and remote place to become a disciple. After all, the three eerie words "Ghost Tomb Sect" were right in front of her. She must have been very depressed to run here to become a disciple.

Lu Jiaojiao secretly rubbed her knees, but they were too heavy. When she knelt and looked down, she couldn't see her knees, so she could only rub them blindly.

When she felt more comfortable, she secretly pulled her hand back, fearing that someone would see her. After all, she knew that one must be sincere to become a disciple.

However, after kneeling here for three days, Lu Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore. She still had a lot of fasting pills and some magic weapons to protect herself. She was not hungry or in pain, but she was bored!

But as long as she thought about her father's face, Lu Jiaojiao regained strength, allowing her to persevere. After all, if she couldn't become his disciple, she would have to go back, and she didn't want to go back.

But Lu Jiaojiao didn't know that her father and his good friend were hiding and watching over her.

Even if there is a big quarrel at home and the daughter wants to run away, the father cannot just ignore it. He asks his friends to escort her all the way here. Otherwise, with her stupid look, she will be sold eight times within ten miles. Her story will be included in Bai Jie's autobiography after she has been away for three days.

"Why should you be too embarrassed about your own daughter? Just persuade her to go home." Taoist Lu, who was dragged along by his friend to accompany her, looked helpless. The whisk on his arm even became more impatient. He could only persuade her again.

"Hmph, this rebellious girl is too outrageous. She dared to run away from home just because I said a few words to her. I, as her father, have no face left!" said the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes with python pattern, with a frown on his face.

Taoist Lu rolled his eyes when he heard this. He really didn't want to persuade him anymore, because he had said these words at least eight hundred times along the way.

However, Taoist Lu stopped talking, but the middle-aged man in fancy clothes felt a little restless to sit still, especially since his daughter was kneeling to become his disciple. He felt like sitting on wax and couldn't help feeling that something was wrong.

He felt sorry for his daughter, but also felt angry. Most of the anger was directed at the damn Ghost Tomb Sect for daring to make his daughter kneel there, and a small part was directed at his own daughter.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never let his daughter suffer a bit, and gave her the best of everything, including a husband, but...
Every time he thought of this, Lu Baijiao felt so angry that his teeth itched, but he could do nothing about it.

He just couldn't understand why his daughter was so resistant and even put a knife to her neck. He didn't dare to be tough anymore. Even though he knew his daughter might be pretending, Lu Baijiao didn't dare to take the risk.
