I'm a demon cultivator

Chapter 188 The alchemy furnace written in the diary exploded

Tan Shuchang has been practicing in the mountains for seven years. There is no time in the mountains, so he doesn’t want to write what time it is today.

No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must work hard to overcome them. If there are no difficulties at the moment, then create difficulties first.

You can't be too rigid in your life.

Learn to be flexible.

……

Tan Shuchang has been practicing for seven years, and there is no time in the mountains. He still doesn't want to write what time today is.

Because we don’t know what to do, we have left many secrets in this world.

But, I just set it up casually.

Therefore, those who are destined to obtain the secret realm should not hold out too much hope for it. It only contains some superior techniques and cultivation experiences, as well as the elixirs I made when I was learning the art of alchemy.

Occasionally there are a few spiritual instruments.

But you basically can't use them, because these secret realms are only accessible to mortals.

……

Tan Shuchang has been practicing for seven years. December, twenty-seventh.

The alchemy furnace exploded.

……

In recent days, Tan Shuchang has been writing his diary very diligently, writing an entry almost every two or three days. However, there are some differences between these three diaries.

The first and second articles were both written deliberately by Tan Shuchang.

Finding a reason to write a diary!
This third diary entry was extremely short, and even had the date written on it. It was written when Tan Shuchang's emotions were extremely complicated and he couldn't help but write it down.

Because he opened the collection of alchemy experiences that Yi Qingqing gave him, and then he was attracted by one of the fantastic alchemy ideas.

However, if this method can be cultivated successfully, then Tan Shuchang, who has already mastered the method of cultivating both elixirs and pills, can rely on puppets to refine pills in the future to improve his own cultivation.

For Tan Shuchang, improving his Taoism was secondary. The key was to collect a lot of insights! After all, alchemy improved his Taoism, so there must be some insights.

And the reason why he has been reluctant to sit on the lotus platform to practice Taoism, isn't it because he lacks the key understanding?
Therefore, once this method is mastered, Tan Shuchang's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds again, and his understanding of the "Twenty Four Seasons" and day and night practice will also be able to get on the right track.

In this way, the difficulties of He Dao will surely be overcome one by one, until he can leave his name in the immortal world!
Then...the alchemy furnace exploded.

It is worth mentioning that although this alchemy furnace is not a magic weapon, it is also a spiritual tool. In addition, when trying this method, Tan Shuchang also deliberately activated the fairy treasure Danbao fan.

But even so, the alchemy furnace exploded in an instant.

So, Tan Shuchang thought about it with a complicated mind, then he took out the diary he had just written, and added a sentence - Junior Sister Yi Qingqing's talent in alchemy is unprecedented, and no ordinary alchemy furnace can withstand it.

Although there seems to be no causal relationship between the two, Tan Shuchang is not really belittling the third-generation leader of the Holy Sect who loves to blow up the alchemy furnace.

This man has only been practicing for about twenty years, but his ideas and conjectures about the Dao of Alchemy deeply touched and even inspired him, who had already achieved the second level of enlightenment. It is conceivable that Yi Qingqing's talent in the Dao of Alchemy is so great that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented.

And because of her amazing talent in alchemy, she inevitably had some fantastic ideas. Such ideas were undoubtedly beyond her current realm, and naturally could not be supported by ordinary alchemy furnaces of upper realm.

Before Yi Qingqing became the third generation Saint Master of the Saint Sect, the alchemy furnace she used was only an upper realm magic alchemy furnace. And according to Yi Qingqing, it was given to her by a little girl named Dong, otherwise, she only had a lower realm magic alchemy furnace.

After all, her master Nangong Yishuang did not have a rich family background. He originally wanted to get her an upper-level magic tool alchemy furnace, but Nangong Yishuang's husband Zhao Chenyang had been trying hard to curry favor with people from the immortal sects such as Tu Jianshan, so the couple did not have much surplus.

This can be seen from the fact that what Zhao Chenyang used was only a flying sword of the upper-level magical weapon level, and that Nangong Yishuang had to go to collect herbs himself.

In addition, Yi Qingqing's cultivation level is still very low, so she would not be given a better alchemy furnace.

As for the alchemy furnace, a higher-level magical instrument that Dong Dong gave her, it has not been blown up yet because Yi Qingqing treasures this alchemy furnace so much that she has been reluctant to use it.

"It seems I have to go to the spiritual realm to find a magic alchemy furnace." Tan Shuchang pondered.

Let’s not consider the fairy treasure for now.

It was purely by chance that he got the Danbao Fan. And even with this Danbao Fan, there might be some small troubles waiting for him in the future.

Therefore, the only thing that can be considered is the alchemy furnace that has reached the level of spiritual treasure.

This kind of treasure is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find in the Cangsu Heaven.

Because even the Demon Cultivation Order was not recorded.

Although some ancient books have mentioned that there was actually an alchemy furnace of the spiritual treasure level in the Cangsu Heaven, which was made of two naturally formed stone mills.

When separated, they can be used as offensive weapons, and when gathered together, they can become a furnace for refining elixirs.

But no one knows which ancestor took it to the Four Pillars of the Sky, so no more specific information has been recorded.

When the Cangsu Heaven was still called Jiawu Realm, there were cultivators who ascended to the Four Heavenly Pillars one after another. However, unlike the one three hundred years ago, those ancestors all relied on their own cultivation to ascend.

Therefore, the number is extremely rare.

Even if the eight top immortal sects are added together, and even if the ascenders from the Sword Temple are included, even if the count starts from the time when the Taoist Ancestor preached, there are still less than a hundred people.

After all, it is in the mortal world. It is much more difficult to cultivate to the point of ascending in the mortal world than in the Four Heavenly Pillars.

What's more, there is the restraint of mundane aura.

If you don't wash away the mundane aura, the difficulty of practicing Taoism will double after you have achieved immortality. Given the same training environment and conditions, two practitioners of the same qualifications, the one in the Four Heavenly Pillars Land will undoubtedly find it easier to practice Taoism for three hundred years than the one in the mundane world.

According to the explanation of the girl "Alu", having a worldly atmosphere is equivalent to being in a barren land, while having no worldly atmosphere is equivalent to being in a rich land.

Comparing spiritual practice to making money, the same amount of money is undoubtedly easier to earn with the latter.

The former may not be able to earn it even if they squeezed their bones and sucked their marrow. Therefore, an average immortal with ordinary qualifications can cultivate for 300 years in the land of the Four Pillars within a thousand years, while in the old days of the Cangsu Heaven, it would take 5,000 years or even more.

Although after attaining immortality, one has stepped into the door to immortality, few of the cultivators who have attained immortality in the past of Cangsu Heaven could live for more than two thousand years.

If there is not enough time, how can I combine the two proofs?
Therefore, those who were able to ascend to heaven in the past basically all had the qualifications to become immortals.

……

At the same time, when Tan Shuchang was thinking about where to find a magic-level alchemy furnace, the fact that he had taken away the Willingness Pill Fan had already been known to others.

On a fairy island filled with murderous sword energy, the Purple Gold Immortal looked at his servant Duan Wu who was kneeling before him, and frowned as he asked, "Did Tan Shuchang take away the Qingyuandan treasure fan I left behind?"

"Yes, Duanwu is incompetent. Please punish me, master!" Duanwu didn't dare to look up when he said this.

Because in Yuanshi Heaven, once you kneel down, you will never be able to stand up again.

When Zijin Shangxian heard this, he did not speak at first, because it was not the first time he had heard the name Tan Shuchang, and the last time, he had sent this person to the prison of Shensu.

Unexpectedly, after a while, this ordinary monk ran away.

One day in Yuanshi Heaven is equal to one year in the land of the Four Heavenly Pillars.

"Forget it. It was his chance that he could take it. Moreover, this treasure is not related to the sword art, so it is not very useful to him. I will find a suitable opportunity in the future and have someone exchange it for a sword art treasure..." The Purple Gold Immortal paused here, and then said in a deep tone: "After all, he inherited the calligraphy from my teacher, so I still have to give him face."

"The master is kind!" Duan Wu hurriedly said what he had said no idea how many times.

Duan Wu didn't care whether the Purple Gold Immortal was really kind or not, he just said so because others said so.

He is just a servant and does not need to have his own thoughts.

However, Duan Wu still wanted to show his role: "Master, will Tan Shuchang give up the sword and practice calligraphy after he inherits the teachings of Master Weng?"

"Although Jiawujie has lost its title of Heavenly Armor, it is after all the place where Daozu preached. If he abandons the way of sword, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Daozu was able to be called a master because he practiced the way of sword! Therefore, only by practicing the way of sword passed down by Daozu can one receive the invisible blessing of the way of sword! I don't think he would be so stupid."

The Immortal Zi Jin laughed and said that if calligraphy alone could affect one's firm determination in the way of the sword, then in his opinion, Tan Shuchang was completely stupid to the extreme.

What's more, the place where the Taoist priest preached, even thousands of years after the preaching, that piece of heaven and earth will still be affected by the Taoist priest's preaching, and the invisible sword intent will permeate the heaven and earth.

Those who can achieve success in practicing in such a world will, without exception, be extraordinary talents in the way of the sword.

"That's absolutely not stupid! Go down and accept your punishment now!"

"That's not necessary. Let's forget about it this time. You can go down and do your work first." The Purple Gold Immortal nodded slightly. The more he used Duan Wu, the more comfortable he became with it.

Perhaps in the future, when the sword spirit is replaced, this honor can be bestowed upon this servant.

……

Tan Shuchang has returned to the spiritual realm of the Nanmen Tianzhu area. He found fellow Taoist Honglianzhu and asked him how to obtain an alchemy furnace magic weapon.

"Alchemy furnace? Brother Tan, do you know how to make alchemy? If you do, it's quite simple. The Nangong family has a gathering to discuss alchemy. All you need to do is go there and express your willingness to make alchemy for the Nangong family for a hundred years, and you can get an alchemy furnace. Although most of these alchemy furnaces have some problems, they are all genuine magic weapons."

Red Lotus Crucian Carp said.

"A hundred years of alchemy? That's too long." Tan Shuchang naturally would not accept it. He has been practicing for a long time, and apart from setting up stalls, he has never done any regular business.

"Brother Daoist, do you want it quick? Sanhua Mountain once offered a bounty, which has not been cancelled yet. As long as you can take the heads of the two immortal monks of the Nangong family, you can exchange them for many treasures from Sanhua Mountain. One of them is this magic alchemy furnace." Honglian Crucian Carp said after hesitating for a while.

He took into account Tan Shuchang's strength.

Although he was not clear about Tan Shuchang's specific cultivation level, he thought that since he was able to escape unscathed after meeting the Yin God of Tiangui Ridge, his strength was definitely beyond that of many immortals.

Therefore, it is still possible to kill the two immortals of the Nangong family.

As for the troubles after killing the Nangong family, Sanhua Mountain has promised to provide at least 500 years of protection to the killer. And 500 years is enough time to escape to other domains.

As for the promise made to Sanhua Mountain, Honglian Crucian Carp also told Tan Shuchang about it.

This is to avoid any misunderstanding between the two.

"It's not good to take someone's life just for a magic weapon." After hearing this, Tan Shuchang shook his head slightly.

The most important thing for people who practice cultivation when interacting with others is not to easily believe the promises of such powerful forces.

Unless your status and strength are equal to that of the other party, otherwise, you are just a piece of fish on the chopping board. After the matter is done, whether you really protect him or betray him is just a matter of thought.

As for the fact that no one would work for the other party after this news spread...

As long as there are enough benefits, there will always be people who "let bygones be bygones". Besides, who would care about some dead people who have nothing to do with them?

Those who practice spiritual cultivation are all selfish.

"Brother Taoist, what you said is absolutely right!" Upon hearing this, Honglian Crucian Carp naturally agreed with what Tan Shuchang said.

Tan Shuchang's words undoubtedly revealed some principles of dealing with people, which made Honglian Crucian carp feel at ease, so he continued to give Tan Shuchang advice: "Brother, I know a place that was left behind by a true immortal after he ascended to the Yuanshi Heaven. That true immortal was also famous for his alchemy, so there should be a magic alchemy furnace in it. However, that place is very dangerous. Several of my clansmen have died there, so..."

"It's really not possible as it's so dangerous." Tan Shuchang said without hesitation. He was invincible in the Cangsu Heaven, but that didn't mean he was also invincible in the Four Pillars.

What’s more, it is a cave left behind by a true immortal!
Who knows what's in there?
"Then, there is only one way left to obtain it. This is the Azure Lotus Token, the entry and exit token for the Azure Lotus Palace, which was left by the seventeenth ancestor of my Red Lotus family. The Azure Lotus Palace was once a fairy island force in the Yuanshi Heaven Realm, but because it was disrespectful to the fairy court, it was cast down from the Yuanshi Heaven Realm. Originally, it was my turn to explore this time, but I have a mortal enemy who may have entered the ranks of immortals, so if you want to go, I can lend you this Azure Lotus Token. You just need to help me bring a few red lotus flowers of any quality along the way."

As Honglian Crucian Carp said this, he looked at Tan Shuchang eagerly.

Speaking of which, it is undoubtedly a good thing for Brother Tan that he can get out of Tiangui Ridge.

After all, firstly, the two of them are familiar with each other, secondly, they have a certain basis of trust, and the third point is that Tan Shuchang's strength seems to be quite impressive, so naturally there is a high probability that he will bring back the red lotus.

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. I will definitely bring back the red lotus for you." Tan Shuchang thanked him. He just came to ask if there was any cultivator willing to exchange the alchemy furnace. He never thought that he would get such an opportunity.

However, this also made Tan Shuchang understand that the alchemy furnace of magic weapon level is also a rare item in the Four Pillars of Heaven.
