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

He took out two jade talismans and handed them to the two of them: "This is the 'Soul Protection Jade Talisman', which can protect your soul from being attacked at the critical moment. In addition, I will prepare some detoxification pills and concealment talismans for you in case of emergency."

Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan gratefully accepted the jade talisman and the elixir, and said solemnly: "Thank you, President. We will be careful."

After a little preparation, the two set out on their journey to the Ghost Swamp. The Ghost Swamp is located deep in the southern region, thousands of miles away from the capital of Wei. They traveled all the way and finally arrived at the edge of the swamp after a few days. Before entering the swamp, they felt a cold breath coming towards them. The air was filled with a faint stench, which made them shudder.

After entering the Ghost Swamp, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan immediately felt their spiritual senses being suppressed and their vision obscured by thick fog. They could only rely on their spiritual senses and maps to move forward cautiously. The swamp was full of dangers, not only with poisonous miasma, but also with many strange creatures, such as ghost vines that could devour spiritual power and phantom butterflies that could confuse the mind.

After several days of searching, they finally found traces of the incense in an ancient ruin. However, in the ruins, there was a ghost cultivator in the early stage of transformation, named "Ghost Venerable". Ghost Venerable was powerful and good at soul attack, which posed a great threat to Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.

Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice: "We are no match for him, we can only outsmart him." Nangong Wan nodded in agreement: "We can use the formation in the ruins to temporarily trap him, and then take the opportunity to take away the incense."

The two divided the work and cooperated with each other. Fu Shaoping was responsible for diverting the attention of the Ghost Venerable, while Nangong Wan quietly sneaked into the depths of the ruins to find the incense. Fu Shaoping used the sword moves in the "Yunxiao Sword Canon" to deal with the Ghost Venerable. Although there was a huge gap in strength, he successfully held the Ghost Venerable with his flexible body movements and sword intent.

At the same time, Nangong Wan found the incense deep in the ruins. However, the incense was protected by a powerful ban, and it would take time to break the ban. Nangong Wan quickly used his spiritual power and began to break the ban. Just as the ban was about to be broken, the Ghost Venerable noticed something was wrong, roared, and rushed in the direction of Nangong Wan.

Seeing this, Fu Shaoping immediately exerted all his strength and slashed at the Ghost Venerable with a sword, trying to stop him. However, the Ghost Venerable was too strong, and Fu Shaoping's attack did not cause much damage to him. At the critical moment, Nangong Wan finally broke the ban and took away the incense. She quickly reunited with Fu Shaoping, and the two used the concealment talisman to successfully get rid of the Ghost Venerable's pursuit.

After leaving the Ghost Swamp, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Although the journey was extremely dangerous, they finally succeeded in finding the incense to attract the gods. With the incense, they returned to the capital of Wei State and prepared to start the retreat to break through the fusion stage.

Before the retreat, they found Li Tianyuan again and reported the situation to him. Li Tianyuan nodded with satisfaction: "You have worked hard on this trip, and you can retreat with peace of mind from now on. I will protect you and ensure that you have a smooth breakthrough."

Fu Shaoping brought the fusion pill and the incense to the retreat, ready to sprint to the fusion stage. He sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, sank his mind into his dantian, and began to practice the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret". This technique was inherited from the Green Emperor, which can not only greatly improve spiritual power, but also help cultivators consolidate their foundations when breaking through, and resist the invasion of inner demons and thunder tribulations.

As the medicinal power of the fusion pill gradually dissolved, Fu Shaoping's spiritual power began to surge, and the meridians in his body surged like rivers, and spiritual power flowed endlessly in his body. However, just when he was about to break through, the inner demon calamity quietly arrived.

The inner demon tribulation is one of the greatest tests for a cultivator to break through the fusion stage. It will evoke the deepest fear, obsession and desire in the cultivator's heart. Fu Shaoping's consciousness gradually blurred, and various illusions appeared before his eyes. He saw his past failures, saw his relatives and friends suffering because of him, and even saw himself being killed by a powerful enemy one day in the future because of his lack of strength.

These illusions came like a tide, trying to break Fu Shaoping's mind. However, he was prepared. He silently recited the formula in "The Secret of the Longevity of the Green Emperor": "My heart is like still water, my thoughts are all one, the Green Emperor protects me, and the demonic obstacles disappear." As the formula was circulated, his mind gradually stabilized and the illusions began to dissipate.

At the same time, the effect of the incense began to show. Wisps of fragrant smoke lingered around Fu Shaoping, helping him to stabilize his soul and resist the invasion of his inner demon. After several hours of struggle, Fu Shaoping finally got rid of the troubles of his inner demon and his mind returned to peace.

As soon as the inner demon tribulation passed, the thunder tribulation followed. The thunder tribulation of the fusion period was extremely terrifying. Nine heavenly thunders would fall one after another, each containing destructive power. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and operated the special path in the "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret", condensing the spiritual power in the dantian to form a layer of green shield.

When the first thunderbolt fell, Fu Shaoping used his shield to resist it. Although the shield was shattered, he was not seriously hurt. He quickly recited the mantra: "The Green Emperor is immortal, and he will live forever. The thunderbolt tempers my body and casts my golden body." As the mantra was recited, his spiritual power quickly recovered and the shield condensed again.

The second and third thunderbolts fell one after another. Fu Shaoping used the special path of the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret to introduce the power of thunderbolts into his body and temper his body. His meridians became tougher under the tempering of thunderbolts, and his spiritual power became more refined.

However, the power of the thunder tribulation was stronger than the last. By the sixth thunder, Fu Shaoping's shield could no longer completely resist it, and cracks began to appear in his body. At this critical moment, he recited the ultimate formula in "The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret": "The Green Emperor has come to the world, all things will return to one, the thunder tribulation will become the source, help me break through!"

As the formula was circulated, a powerful vitality burst out from Fu Shaoping's body, the cracks healed quickly, and his spiritual power reached its peak. With the help of the power of thunder tribulation, he completely integrated the spiritual power in his body and broke through to the fusion stage.

When the ninth thunderbolt fell, Fu Shaoping had completely adapted to the power of the thunderbolt. He used his body to resist the thunderbolt, and the power of the thunderbolt was completely absorbed by him and turned into his own strength. After the thunderbolt dissipated, Fu Shaoping slowly opened his eyes, felt the surging spiritual power in his body, and his heart was filled with joy. He successfully broke through to the fusion stage, and his strength had a qualitative leap. Not only that, after the tempering of the thunderbolt, his body and soul reached a new height. Fu Shaoping knew that all this was inseparable from the help of "The Green Emperor's Longevity Secret". This technique not only allowed him to achieve twice the result with half the effort when breaking through, but also laid a solid foundation for him.

After coming out of seclusion, Fu Shaoping felt unprecedented strength. He knew that the road ahead was still long, but with this strength, he had more confidence and courage. He decided to continue to work hard to practice and improve his strength to deal with the threats of powerful enemies such as the Netherworld Sect and protect everything he cherished.

After Fu Shaoping successfully broke through to the fusion stage, he knew the importance of consolidating his cultivation. The fusion stage is an important watershed on the path of cultivation for a cultivator. Only by thoroughly consolidating the cultivation can a solid foundation be laid for future breakthroughs. Therefore, he decided to start consolidating his cultivation immediately after coming out of retreat.

He first practiced the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret to guide the surging spiritual power in his body to the meridians throughout his body, ensuring that the spiritual power flowed smoothly in his body. Through the formula "Qing Emperor's Longevity, endless life, spiritual power condensed, solid foundation", he further condensed the spiritual power, removed impurities, and made the spiritual power more pure. Then, with the help of his body tempered by the thunder tribulation, he continued to practice the special path in the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret to integrate the spiritual power into his flesh and blood and strengthen his body. His meridians, bones, and flesh and blood became more resilient under the nourishment of spiritual power, and the strength of his body reached a new height.

At the same time, Fu Shaoping also focused on the stability of his soul. He took out the incense, lit it, and sat cross-legged, silently reciting the soul formula in the "Green Emperor's Longevity Formula": "The Green Emperor protects the soul, all thoughts return to one, the soul is stable, and the inner demons are not invaded." The fragrance of the incense lingered around him, helping him to stabilize his soul and avoid the instability of his soul caused by the sudden increase in his cultivation. After several days of practice, his soul became more solid and the range of his consciousness was greatly expanded.

In order to further consolidate his cultivation, Fu Shaoping also began to practice the high-level sword moves in the "Yunxiao Sword Canon". He integrated his spiritual power into the sword intent, which greatly increased the power of his sword moves and made his sword intent more condensed. By practicing sword moves, he not only improved his combat effectiveness, but also perfectly integrated his spiritual power and sword intent, making his cultivation more stable.

In the process of consolidating his cultivation, Fu Shaoping also focused on cultivating his mind. He reviewed his own cultivation path, summed up his gains and losses, adjusted his mindset, and avoided arrogance or laziness due to his sudden increase in strength. He knew that the path of cultivation was long and arduous, and only by being humble and cautious could he go further.

After several months of consolidation, Fu Shaoping's cultivation was completely stable. His spiritual power was pure and strong, his body was extremely strong, his soul was as solid as iron, and his sword was unparalleled. He felt that he had truly stepped into the threshold of the fusion stage, and his strength had made a qualitative leap.

After Fu Shaoping successfully broke through to the fusion stage and consolidated his cultivation, the Wei State Chamber of Commerce decided to hold a grand celebration for him to celebrate this important moment. This is not only a recognition of Fu Shaoping's personal achievements, but also a boost to the morale of the entire Chamber of Commerce. Li Tianyuan was personally responsible for the preparations for the celebration, and the Chamber of Commerce worked together to make this celebration grand and unforgettable.

The venue for the celebration was chosen to be the largest square in the capital of Wei. The square was surrounded by colorful flags and lanterns, and a high platform was built in the center. On the platform were flags symbolizing the glory of the Chamber of Commerce and a portrait of Fu Shaoping. There were also VIP seats on both sides of the platform for representatives of major forces and senior members of the Chamber of Commerce to sit. Li Tianyuan personally sent invitations to major forces, including the royal family of Wei, major sects, and allies of the Chamber of Commerce. After many forces learned that Fu Shaoping had broken through the fusion stage, they expressed their congratulations and sent important figures to participate in the celebration.

The celebration was filled with a variety of programs, including lion dance, acrobatics, singing and dancing performances, etc. The Chamber of Commerce also specially invited a famous storyteller to tell the legendary story of Fu Shaoping to inspire the younger generation of monks. The celebration officially began in the early morning. Li Tianyuan stepped onto the podium and delivered an opening speech. He reviewed Fu Shaoping's growth since joining the Chamber of Commerce, praised his efforts and achievements, and announced the official start of the celebration.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Fu Shaoping stepped onto the stage. He was wearing a formal dress specially made by the Chamber of Commerce, and his expression was solemn and calm. He bowed deeply to the guests and members of the Chamber of Commerce present, and then gave a brief speech. He thanked the Chamber of Commerce for its training and support, thanked Li Tianyuan for his guidance and trust, and thanked all the partners who fought side by side. He mentioned that breaking through the fusion stage is only a small step on the road of cultivation, and there are more challenges waiting for him in the future. He promised to continue to work hard and contribute his own strength to the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce and the State of Wei.

Fu Shaoping's speech won warm applause from the audience. Then, the celebration entered its climax. Representatives from various forces came on stage and presented gifts to Fu Shaoping. The Wei royal family sent precious elixirs and magic weapons, the major sects sent rare cultivation resources, and the Chamber of Commerce allies sent treasures symbolizing friendship. Fu Shaoping accepted the gifts one by one and expressed his gratitude to each representative.

At the end of the celebration, the Chamber of Commerce held a grand banquet. At the banquet, the guests toasted to celebrate Fu Shaoping's breakthrough and wished the Chamber of Commerce a brighter future. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, as the protagonists, were surrounded by the crowd and received blessings from all sides.

This celebration not only made Fu Shaoping feel honored and recognized, but also greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Chamber of Commerce. The younger generation of monks were inspired and expressed their willingness to follow Fu Shaoping's example, practice hard, and contribute to the future of the Chamber of Commerce and the State of Wei.

After Fu Shaoping successfully broke through the fusion stage and held a celebration, Nangong Wan also had her own breakthrough opportunity. She has been fighting side by side with Fu Shaoping, and her cultivation has already reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. After a period of accumulation and preparation, she decided to retreat and impact the Spiritualization stage.

Before the retreat, Nangong Wan made full preparations. She asked Li Tianyuan for the key points of breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and obtained precious resources provided by the Chamber of Commerce, including the Spiritual Transformation Pill, the Soul Protection Jade Talisman, and the Spirit Inducing Incense. She also specifically asked Fu Shaoping for advice on his experience during the breakthrough, and Fu Shaoping passed on his experience to her without reservation.

After entering the retreat, Nangong Wan first practiced her main cultivation method "Xuanbing Xin Jue" to guide the spiritual power in her body to the meridians throughout the body to ensure the smooth flow of spiritual power. She further condensed the spiritual power through the formula "Xuanbing Concentrates the Mind, All Methods Return to One, Spiritual Power Condenses, and the Foundation is Solid", removing impurities and making the spiritual power more pure. As the power of the Huashen Pill gradually dissolved, her spiritual power began to surge, and the meridians in her body surged like rivers, and spiritual power flowed endlessly in her body.

However, at the critical moment when she was about to break through, the inner demon calamity quietly arrived. The inner demon calamity is one of the greatest tests for a cultivator to break through the spirit transformation stage. It will evoke the deepest fear, obsession and desire in the cultivator's heart. Various illusions appeared in front of Nangong Wan's eyes. She saw her past failures, her relatives and friends suffering because of her, and even saw herself being killed by a powerful enemy one day in the future because of her lack of strength. These illusions came like a tide, trying to defeat her mind.

Nangong Wan was well prepared. She silently recited the formula in "Xuanbing Xin Jue": "The heart is like Xuanbing, all thoughts return to one, Xuanbing protects me, and the demonic obstacles disappear." As the formula was circulated, her mind gradually stabilized and the illusion began to dissipate. At the same time, the effect of the incense began to show. Wisps of fragrant smoke lingered around Nangong Wan, helping her stabilize her soul and resist the invasion of the inner demon. After several hours of struggle, Nangong Wan finally got rid of the troubles of the inner demon and her mind returned to peace. (End of this chapter)
