Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

The old man smiled and shook his head, and continued: "You two young friends are very powerful. I would like to invite you to join our Shayan family. With your strength, you will definitely be highly respected in our family. We can let you serve as the supreme elders, and you can use the family's resources at will. In addition, we will give you generous rewards every year. This reward includes rare cultivation materials, high-level martial arts secrets, and a large amount of spirit crystals."

Fu Shaoping's heart moved. He looked at Nangong Wan and found that Nangong Wan was also thinking. He silently weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Joining the Shayan family can indeed bring a lot of benefits. With abundant resources, his cultivation speed will definitely increase faster, and the identity of the supreme elder can also give him a certain status in this desert. However, he did not want to be bound by family affairs. He longed to explore freely on the road of cultivation.

Nangong Wan was thinking that the Shayan family had lived in the desert for many years, and they must have some unique cultivation methods and secrets about the desert. If she could join them, she might get unexpected gains. However, she was also worried that the complicated relationships within the family would bring trouble to herself and Fu Shaoping.

Fu Shaoping hesitated for a moment and said, "Old man, we appreciate your kindness. But we are used to a free and easy life and don't want to be bound by family rules."

The old man seemed to have expected this. He smiled and said, "It's normal for you to have some concerns. Although our Shayan family has family rules, there are very few restrictions on the Supreme Elders. You can freely arrange your own training time, and you don't need to worry too much about family affairs. You are only needed to help when the family faces a major crisis. In addition, our family has an ancient relic deep in the desert. It is said that there are endless treasures and powerful exercises hidden in it, but the relic is full of dangers, and our family has not been able to explore it in depth. If you join, you can have priority in choosing the gains in the relic."

Nangong Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She said to Fu Shaoping, "Brother Fu, this sounds like a good opportunity. We can have free time to practice and have the opportunity to explore the ruins."

Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and nodded: "Old man, since you are so kind, we can consider joining your Shayan family. However, we would like to learn more about the specific situation of the family first, such as the strength distribution of family members, the family's existing skills and resources, etc."

The old man was overjoyed. "Of course, my friend. We have five cultivators in the God Transformation Stage in our Shayan family, including one family head in the late God Transformation Stage, three elders in the middle God Transformation Stage, and dozens of cultivators in the early God Transformation Stage. The family's skills include the "Shayan Skill" which is suitable for cultivating earth attribute spiritual power. This is the foundation of our family. When cultivated to a high level, it can be integrated with the power of the desert. There are also some scattered skills that were accidentally obtained from desert ruins. Although they are incomplete, they are also unique. In terms of family resources, in addition to the spiritual crystals and cultivation materials mentioned above, there is also a spiritual field dedicated to growing spiritual plants. In the spiritual field, some spiritual plants suitable for growing in the desert environment are planted, which are of great help to cultivation."

After listening to the old man's introduction, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan had a deeper understanding of the Shayan family. They felt that this family still had certain potential and appeal.

Fu Shaoping said: "Old man, then we agree to join your Shayan family and serve as the supreme elder. However, we hope that after joining, we can explore the ruins as soon as possible."

The old man said happily: "Okay, okay, welcome to the Shayan family. Our family has sent people to guard the ruins. As long as you are ready, you can set off at any time."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan followed the old man on the journey to the Shayan family. Along the way, the old man enthusiastically told them various interesting stories about the family.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a magnificent scene appeared before their eyes. They saw a huge sky city suspended in the sky. The city seemed to be carved out of a huge piece of sandstone, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The walls of the Sky City were tall and thick, with all kinds of mysterious runes engraved on them. The runes flickered with a faint light, as if telling an ancient story. Around the walls, there was a circle of restrictions that emitted a soft glow, like a transparent light curtain, protecting the entire city.

Entering the city, the first thing that caught my eye was the spacious streets, which were paved with a special kind of sand and stone. With every step, I could feel the spiritual power surging slightly under my feet. On both sides of the street were buildings of unique styles, most of which were rounded in shape, as if they had been eroded by wind and sand for a long time. The building materials were also taken from the special sand and stone in the desert, and after special refining, they became extremely solid.

The roof of the house is tilted, which seems to be designed to better resist the invasion of strong winds. There are also some crystals inlaid on the roof, which reflect colorful light under the sunlight, adding a touch of gorgeous color to the whole city.

The residents in the city wore clothes that were completely different from those in the lower world. Most men wore loose robes, mainly in khaki and brown colors, with exquisite sand patterns embroidered on the robes. These patterns seemed to have a mysterious power, flowing slightly with the men's movements. They wore a wide belt around their waists, which was made of tough sand animal skin and inlaid with various shapes of spiritual crystals. It was both a decoration and a container for storing spiritual power.

The women wore tight short jackets and long skirts. The collars and cuffs of the short jackets were embroidered with delicate patterns. These patterns were like flowers blooming in the desert, delicate and yet tough. The long skirts dragged on the ground, and the hems fluttered in the wind. They were also embroidered with sand patterns, but they were different from the patterns on men's clothing. The patterns on women's clothing were more delicate and soft. They wore exquisite headdresses on their heads. The headdresses were made of various spirit bones and spirit crystals, and they were in different shapes. Some looked like desert eagles with spread wings, and some looked like blooming spirit flowers.

There is a huge square in the city, and in the center of the square is a towering statue. The statue depicts an ancestor holding a sandstone staff, his eyes firmly looking into the distance, as if he is guarding this sky city. The square is surrounded by some spiritual trees, the trunks of these spiritual trees are thick, and the leaves are a light blue, rustling in the wind, bringing a cool feeling to the square.

Deep in the city, there is a magnificent palace, which is the core of the Shayan family. The architectural style of the palace is more gorgeous, and the gate of the palace is tall and wide. The historical stories of the family are carved on the door, and every detail is vivid. Walking into the palace, the interior decoration is even more magnificent, and precious scrolls are hung on the walls, depicting the glorious achievements of the family.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan settled down in the Shayan family, they couldn't wait to start refining pills using the sand beast materials they had collected before.

They chose a quiet valley as the place for alchemy, where spiritual power is abundant and relatively hidden. Fu Shaoping was responsible for arranging the alchemy formation. He took out some spiritual crystals and buried them underground according to specific directions, and then used spiritual power to outline complex formation patterns. A formation that can gather spiritual power and stabilize the alchemy process gradually took shape. Nangong Wan carefully prepared the sand beast materials on the side. She carefully ground the sand crystal shield materials of the sandstorm demon beast into fine powder. The powder flashed with crystal light, like tiny stars. After everything was ready, Nangong Wan poured the ground sand crystal powder into the alchemy furnace, and then added the spiritual heart grass and purple star leaves that had been prepared long ago. Fu Shaoping made seals with his hands and slowly injected spiritual power into the formation under the alchemy furnace. The formation began to operate, and spiritual power flowed into the alchemy furnace like a trickle, and the materials in the furnace began to undergo wonderful changes.

As time went by, the light in the alchemy furnace became brighter and brighter, and a strong medicinal power began to condense in the furnace. Suddenly, the sky changed, and the originally clear sky was quickly covered by dark clouds. Nangong Wan looked up and said solemnly: "Brother Fu, the pill calamity is coming."

I saw lightning flashing faintly in the dark clouds. The lightning of this pill tribulation showed a strange sandy yellow color, as if it was condensed from sand grains. The first thunder tribulation fell, like a ferocious sand beast rushing towards the alchemy furnace. Fu Shaoping shouted loudly, and his hands quickly changed the seals. A spiritual power barrier appeared above the alchemy furnace. The thunder tribulation hit the barrier, bursting out a dazzling light, and the spiritual power barrier also shook.

Then, the second thunder tribulation came, and this thunder tribulation was stronger than the previous one. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, and they attacked at the same time, injecting their spiritual power into the barrier, barely resisting the attack.

At this time, the elixir in the alchemy furnace has gradually taken shape, exuding a charming fragrance. However, the elixir tribulation will not easily let go of this elixir that is about to be born. The third thunder tribulation has been brewing in the dark clouds for a long time and finally fell. This thunder tribulation is no longer just thunder and lightning, but mixed with the power of the sandstorm. The sandstorm swept with thunder and lightning, with amazing power. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan did not dare to slack off. They mobilized all their spiritual power and even consumed some precious spiritual crystals to enhance the power of the barrier.

After a violent collision, they finally succeeded in resisting the pill tribulation. In the alchemy furnace, the sixth-level sand crystal heart-protecting pill was finally successfully refined. The pill exuded a soft light, surrounded by a faint sand shadow, as if it still carried the breath of a sand beast.

The two smiled at each other. Although they had gone through hardships, they had successfully refined this precious elixir. This made them full of confidence in using the sand beast materials to refine other elixirs and explore the ruins.

After Fu Shaoping refined the sixth-level sand crystal heart-protecting pill, he couldn't wait to take one. The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm medicinal power quickly spread throughout his body, like a clear spring in the desert, nourishing his meridians.

He sat cross-legged and began to practice the Qing Emperor's Longevity Skill. This skill was accidentally discovered by him in an ancient monument in his early years. When practiced to a high level, it can merge with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and live forever. The route of practicing the Qing Emperor's Longevity Skill is extremely complicated and needs to be carried out along a specific meridian route. If you are not careful, you may go astray.

Fu Shaoping concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, completely immersing his mind in the operation of the technique. He started from Dantian, slowly raising the spiritual power along the Ren Meridian, passing through Tanzhong and Tiantu, and finally converging at the Baihui acupoint. Then, the spiritual power descended from the Baihui acupoint along the Du Meridian, passing through Dazhui and Mingmen, and finally returned to Dantian.

This process seems simple, but in fact each step requires precise control of the flow of spiritual power. Any slight mistake will cause spiritual power disorder. Fu Shaoping relies on his profound cultivation and rich experience to steadily control the flow of spiritual power.

As he became more proficient in the technique, the spiritual power in his body began to undergo a qualitative change. The originally calm spiritual power gradually became active, like a storm in the desert, rushing freely in the meridians. Fu Shaoping felt that every meridian in his body was being washed by this powerful spiritual power, as if to completely remove the impurities in his body.

At this time, the power of the Sand Crystal Heart Protecting Pill also began to take effect. The Sand Crystal Shield material in the pill contained a powerful defensive force, which gradually merged into Fu Shaoping's meridians as the technique was operated, forming a solid barrier that protected his meridians from damage by the spiritual power storm.

Fu Shaoping felt that the spiritual power in his body was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was about to break through some kind of shackles. He knew that this was an opportunity to break through. He took a deep breath, focused his mind completely on Dantian, and guided the spiritual power to impact the bottleneck of the third level of the Spiritualization.

Once, twice, three times... Every impact made Fu Shaoping feel a sharp pain in his body, but he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. Finally, after a fierce impact, he felt the bottleneck in his body shattered, and his spiritual power was like a flood that broke through the dam, instantly pouring into a new realm.

Fu Shaoping's aura suddenly surged, and his cultivation at the third level of the Spiritualization finally stabilized. He opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he felt the surging spiritual power in his body. He knew that he had finally succeeded in breaking through.

Nangong Wan watched Fu Shaoping's successful breakthrough with a gratified smile on her face. She knew that this breakthrough not only meant that Fu Shaoping's strength had been greatly improved, but also added more confidence to their next expedition.

The moment Fu Shaoping successfully broke through the third level of the Spiritual Transformation, circles of spiritual energy ripples visible to the naked eye appeared around his body. These ripples were like real waves of light, spreading out from him to the surroundings. Wherever they passed, the sand and stones on the ground seemed to be pulled by invisible forces, floating gently and slowly rotating around him.

There was a faint glow on the surface of his skin, as if a layer of flowing light covered it. This light was not a single color, but a halo of blue, gold, and sandy yellow that shone from the inside out. The blue symbolized the vitality brought by the Qingdi Changsheng Jue that he practiced, the gold represented the purity and nobility of the spiritual power after the breakthrough, and the sandy yellow was the unique mark of the fusion of the power of the Sand Crystal Heart Protection Pill and his own body.
