Tao and Heaven

Chapter 131 Breaking through two levels in a row, the second level of golden elixir

Hearing this, Gu Wen could not wait to nod his head repeatedly, bowed his hands politely and said, "Thank you, Daoist Chiyuzi."

This guy really is the mother of whoever gives him milk.

Akabane was speechless when he noticed the change in the other party's attitude, and said, "I will teach you now, but you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

Gu Wen looked puzzled. This was different from what was agreed at the beginning. Why was she raising the price? But this girl shouldn't be so utilitarian, right?
Akabane said seriously, "Don't blame me if you don't succeed, and don't blame me if you waste your time."

It was a disclaimer.
Gu Wen nodded in agreement, and then Akabane patiently confirmed it many times.

It wasn't that she wanted to regret it, but because there were too many people who were obsessed with the immortal method. Now Gu Wen had two immortal methods, so he could choose one to practice with concentration, instead of practicing multiple immortal methods at once.

It is not the case that the more skills you have, the better. Taoism is about refinement rather than quantity. Most of the great masters in the cultivation world have only one trick to conquer the world.

But they had already reached an agreement, and now even if Akabane had good intentions, he could not refuse Gu Wen, otherwise he would be breaking his promise.

The sound of Chiyuzi entered his ears, and the mysterious sound entered his ears.

"The Golden Elixir Method is one of the Thirty-Six Methods of Immortality. It means the ultimate of the Golden Elixir and the peak of magical power."

"The root of the return of the golden elixir, condensing the holy fetus immortal body, is called the root of Tai Chi, the handle of the innate, the system of nothingness, the source of creation, the root of chaos, and the valley of Taixu. This is the sixth transformation."

Gu Wen sank his Qi into his Dantian, looked inward at his Qi sea, and comprehended the method passed down by Chiyuzi.

The first six turns of the Golden Elixir Method are similar to the six turns of the Golden Elixir of the Jade Purity Dao Foundation, but there are some differences. Gu Wen's realm is too much to describe clearly, but he can vaguely feel the changes.

The six-transformation golden elixir of Yuqing Daoji is moderate and stable. No part of it is particularly outstanding, and no part is insufficient.

Just as Yu Hua described, none of the Jade Purity Dao Foundation's levels were the best, but it could be in the top three. Others were at the top of their own level, but the Jade Purity Dao Foundation's were all top-notch, so they were better overall.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method is the ultimate in golden elixir, and it crushes the former in almost every aspect.

The consumption of celestial marrow also varies greatly.

[Fifth level of Yuqing Dao Foundation, Six-turn Golden Pill, one turn for fifty years of Heavenly Marrow, six turns for three hundred years of Heavenly Marrow]

[Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method, the first turn requires fifty years of Heavenly Marrow, the second turn requires sixty years of Heavenly Marrow, the third turn requires seventy years of Heavenly Marrow, and so on, accumulating to the sixth turn in sequence, requiring a total of four hundred and fifty years of Heavenly Marrow]

The difference between the two is one hundred and fifty years of Tiansui, and this is only the first six turns, there are three more turns to come.

This would probably add up to six hundred or even eight hundred years of Heavenly Marrow, which could no longer be replenished by ordinary spiritual medicines. The amount of Heavenly Marrow that Gu Wen had painstakingly collected over the past six months might not even be eight hundred, if all the spiritual medicines were added together.

And this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill actually requires so much.

But on second thought, it is very normal, because if we really talk about the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, it is equivalent to practicing a method of becoming an immortal in one go, not the true understanding of the way of the sword and the training of the foundation of the Tao.

What's more, the Golden Light Mantra that comes with it is currently the only one that can be practiced using Heavenly Marrow.

Gu Wen has already realized the power of the magical power. Just a ray of fire from the Angri True Fire can take half of their lives.

Should I practice it? Should I practice all of them, or just the first six?
Gu Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If he is sure, he wants them all, but he doesn't seem to be that rich now, and it is unlikely that he can collect them slowly when the whole world is hostile to him.

'Let's not consider the ninth turn and the Golden Light Mantra for now.'

This is what Gu Wen judged.

A woman cannot cook without rice, so he could only practice the first six turns of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. The environment did not allow Gu Wen to collect the Heavenly Marrow step by step, so he had to grow up as quickly as possible.

After seeing that all the methods had been passed down, Akabane said:
"The sixth transformation is not only the perfection of the golden elixir, but also the preparation for the third transformation after the perfection of transcendence. The ninth transformation cannot be explained in words. I will show you how to do it myself in a few days."

"The first step you should take now is to crush the original golden elixir and use the immortality elixir and the special laws of heaven and earth to complete it. I suggest you take this step after I recover."

"Why?" Gu Wen asked.

"Because the shattering of the golden elixir will cause you to fall into a short period of weakness, which is equivalent to what Akabane is like now."

Then Jun Yan's voice came from the darkness, accompanied by a slight friction sound, like the sound of claws scratching tree bark.

".Tiannu and Akabane are both in trouble. If you have any problems, I will be unable to handle it alone."

Akabane nodded and said, "This step is also the most difficult and takes the longest time. The energy consumption is comparable to that of practicing a third-level golden elixir. This is why most people only need to complete the first level."

Gu Wen, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly became alert and asked, "What if there is no golden elixir?"

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet, and even Jun Yan stopped scratching his cat scratching board.

How is it possible that the golden elixir does not exist?

Those who can enter the land of immortality are all geniuses, and during the practice, the levels of Qi training, foundation building, induction, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, etc. can be accumulated. It is not impossible to break through with enough elixirs.

The geniuses of the big sects advance one realm every year, and their progress gradually slows down until they reach the Spirit Severing Stage. Some even say, "If you haven't reached the Golden Elixir after a year of Qi training, you will never reach the Mahayana Stage in this lifetime."

In top sects like the Sanqing Taoist Sect and the Yu Jian Sect, one of the ways to become a true disciple is to obtain the Golden Elixir in one year.

Akabane was a little confused and asked, "You don't have a golden elixir?"

"No." Gu Wen shook his head and said as a matter of course: "Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

“I’m actually a local.”

Gu Wen briefly explained his life story, and the two of them suddenly looked at him with a sense of sympathy.

He was used as nourishment for the offspring of an unfathomable Taoist emperor. His relatives were slaughtered, his chance to become an immortal was taken away, and initially even the Three Pure Ones Taoist sect gave up on him.

That's how he can get to where he is today.

Although Gu Wen said it lightly and without any personal emotion, Akabane still felt extremely sympathetic after hearing it. Perhaps because she felt too much involved, her eyes slightly reddened as she consoled him:

"It's not easy for you either." ".Ah?"

Gu Wen's mouth twitched, and he tilted his head slightly to look at Chi Yuzi, then pointed at himself and said, "You sympathize with me? Why would you sympathize with me when you can't even protect yourself now?"

This is simply the opposite of Tiangang. Akabane's situation is somewhat similar to his own, but he is not disabled now, and he does not have a "cancer" that could kill him at any time.

Whether it is Akabaneko or Jun Yan, they only look bright and beautiful, but in fact, each one is more disabled than the other.

Now they actually feel sympathy for me, which is really outrageous.

Akabane said: "We could at least struggle. Could you have turned the tables at that time?"

"Being able to practice is better than anything else."

Jun Yan walked out of the darkness, with some turbidity still in his eyes and his breathing was heavy.

But after knowing how Gu Wen, a family servant, had come to this point, he seemed to have found an anchor and his mental state became much more stable.

"The Emperor Daojun is at most a semi-immortal. I thought he was just above the Dao realm and had not yet begun to overcome the tribulation of becoming an immortal. But to a person with no cultivation, he is more terrifying than an immortal. Ants are at least running, but mayflies can only float."

They have different concepts. Gu Wen compares size, while they only consider whether they can resist.

Gu Wen was not proud of his hardship, he spread his hands and said: "At least I am better off than you now."

"Not necessarily." Jun Yan grinned and said, "But in the past you were indeed better than us, at least you could still run, but now it seems that you can't run away. The only word in the world that is the most unpredictable is love."

This is not a love between a man and a woman. Even if the Taoist goddess changed her gender, based on the character Gu Wen has shown so far, Jun Yan does not think that he would run away without any regard for his feelings.

Otherwise, Jun Yan would not have taken the great risk to come along, because he was certain that Gu Wen would help him.

The quality of reputation always plays a huge role inadvertently.

Gu Wen didn't want to compare who was worse off, he wanted to compare who was better, he said calmly: "It took me half a year to go from knowing nothing to perfecting the fourth level of Taoism, who do you think is better?"

Jun Yan's expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Chi Yuzi said, "I can control thousands of spirit swords with one soul and one spirit, and I have also mastered the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir. Humph! You are far behind me."

"how old are you?"

Gu Wen asked back, and Akabane fell silent.

Afterwards, Chiyuzi seemed to change the subject and began to teach the Golden Elixir Method which did not require the Golden Elixir to be crushed. In essence, it was to let Gu Wen ignore a certain part and start practicing directly from the middle.

The camp returned to silence. Jun Yan was mumbling softly, Chi Yuzi was breathing softly, and Gu Wen was meditating.
-
Look inward at the Qi Hai.

【Tian Sui 100 Years】

[Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method, one turn of the Golden Elixir lasts fifty years. ]

With a thought, fifty years of celestial marrow fell down, and an inexplicable feeling surged into his heart. In an instant, it seemed as if all his past understandings of practicing Qigong had been split into thousands, and a higher level of construction was carried out according to the Golden Elixir method.

The three elements of Qi training, Qi sea, and magic power are gathered together to transform into a method of condensing the golden elixir.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir method manifested a phantom image, and a huge sun appeared in the sky.

In the sea of ​​qi, the aimlessly floating magic power was like threads, and under the traction of the virtual image of the sun, it gradually gathered into clouds and began to slowly rotate, gradually forming a vortex, enveloping more magic power.

There was a faint light spot in the center of the vortex, and as the magic power decreased, the light spot gradually became larger.

After an unknown amount of time, the cyclone suddenly stopped and Gu Wen felt a dry feeling all over his body, followed by the drying up of his meridians.

Not enough mana!
And he is still in the process of comprehending Tiansui. If his magic power cannot be replenished in time, this may be the first failure of Tiansui.

The insights should be retained, so it’s not a big loss. The fate has already said that the golden elixir needs additional medicinal power.

But the mana and time consumed cannot be recovered.

Suddenly, Gu Wen felt as if a pill was stuffed into his mouth. The warm medicinal power still filled his qi sea, and the cyclone began to rotate again.

From then on, every time his mana ran out, someone would feed him a pill. I don’t know who it was, but this is the meaning of teamwork.

If Gu Wen was fighting alone, no one would care about his condition at this time, and no one would feed him elixirs just because they saw that his magic power was exhausted when he was condensing the golden elixir.

There was a sudden change, the cyclone collapsed suddenly, and a golden light pierced through the magic cloud, shining like a rising sun in the sea of ​​​​qi.

Finally it becomes the golden elixir, the second level golden elixir!
[Fifth level of Dao foundation, second level of golden elixir, gathering Tai Chi, condensing Xiantian]

It’s actually the second transfer?
Gu Wen was a little surprised. He thought that he had just skipped the step of breaking the golden elixir, but he didn't expect that he had actually skipped it directly.

After a little thought, with the basics of the Golden Elixir Method, he quickly understood the reason.

No matter how broken other people's golden elixir is, it still exists. Otherwise, it is not called completing the golden elixir, but condensing the golden elixir. Gu Wen belongs to the latter. He has never had a golden elixir, so the golden elixir he made has no impurities.

Afterwards, Gu Wen did not come out of the state of meditation, but continued to consolidate his state, running the Qi circles a hundred times in a row, which was estimated to take a day and a night.

When I first started practicing, one big cycle would take a whole night to complete, but now it only takes one day to complete a hundred times.

He looked inward at his Qi sea again, and saw a golden elixir as big as the sun suspended in his Qi sea, shining brightly.

The mana was exhausted, but the stock more than doubled. Compared with the previous example of the true solution of the sword, at this time Gu Wen was in full strength and could swing six swords at once.

He was able to jump one level and kill three old guys. Because cultivators usually have a backup plan, Gu Wen assumed that one sword would cripple them and one sword would kill them.

Moreover, the golden elixir has another effect, which is to break the elixir. At the cost of breaking the golden elixir, it can explode with power several times beyond the limit.

Before coming out of meditation, Gu Wen directed a hundred years of imperial juice into the heirloom.
