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

As time went by, the two gradually mastered the essentials of the operation of the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art". Nangong Wan felt that her spiritual power became more pure, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth. She whispered: "Shao Ping, this technique is indeed extraordinary. I feel that my spiritual power is constantly improving, as if there are infinite possibilities."

Fu Shaoping also felt his spiritual power circulating in the nine spiritual veins and gradually condensing. He nodded and said, "Yes, this technique not only improves our spiritual power, but also makes us understand cultivation more deeply. Perhaps, we can really break through the fusion stage and move to a higher realm."

Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Shao Ping, with this technique, our path of cultivation will be smoother. Perhaps, we can really reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world."

Fu Shaoping looked at her, his eyes full of determination: "Yes, Nangong. Although the road of cultivation is difficult, as long as we walk hand in hand, we can eventually reach the top."

The two smiled at each other, their hearts full of expectations for the future. They knew that this "Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art" was not only a high-level technique, but also an important opportunity on their path of cultivation. In the days to come, they would work harder to cultivate and move towards a higher realm.

After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan left the Tiannan Secret Realm, they stood at the entrance of the secret realm and looked back at the mysterious little world. Nangong Wan flicked his sleeves lightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Shaoping, this trip to the secret realm has yielded a lot. However, the road of cultivation is long, and we still need to move forward."

Fu Shaoping nodded, his eyes firm: "Yes, Nangong. There are many opportunities in Tiannan Country, we might as well explore other places. I heard that there is a 'Spiritual Mist Valley' in the south, with rich spiritual energy, maybe we can gain something."

Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with interest: "Lingwu Valley? It sounds like an interesting place. Let's go and take a look."

The two headed south, crossing the mountains and rivers of Tiannan. The scenery along the way gradually became hazy, and the air was filled with a faint mist, as if entering another world. Nangong Wan looked up at the sky and whispered, "The spiritual energy here is indeed rich, even the mist is spiritual."

Fu Shaoping nodded slightly: "Lingwu Valley is well-deserved of its reputation. It seems that our trip will not be in vain."

Just as they were about to enter Lingwu Valley, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the front. A monk in a blue-grey robe came towards them. He had a thin face, a somewhat weathered expression, and held an ancient long sword in his hand. The monk smiled slightly when he saw Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, and said, "Two Taoist friends, are you going to Lingwu Valley?"

Fu Shaoping nodded: "That's right. What's your name?"

The monk smiled and said, "I am Liu Qingfeng, a casual cultivator who has been practicing near Lingwu Valley for many years. If this is your first time here, you might as well come with me. The valley is full of dangers, and more people are always a good thing."

Nangong Wan looked at Liu Qingfeng and saw that he looked calm, so he smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Liu is so familiar with Lingwu Valley, we will respectfully obey your orders."

Liu Qingfeng nodded: "Please follow me, both of you."

The three of them stepped into the Spiritual Mist Valley together, and the scene before them was amazing. The valley was filled with mist, and the spiritual energy was so dense that it almost turned into substance. There were many rare spiritual herbs growing around, emitting a faint light. Nangong Wan squatted down and gently stroked a spiritual herb, his eyes full of joy: "This is the 'Purple Spiritual Grass', an excellent material for refining elixirs."

Fu Shaoping nodded: "There are indeed many opportunities in the valley, but we need to be careful and not be careless."

Liu Qingfeng reminded them, "My two fellow Taoists, although Lingwu Valley has many opportunities, it is also full of dangers. In particular, there is a 'Lingwu Jiao' in the valley, which is very powerful and many cultivators have perished at its hands."

Nangong Wan stood up, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "Spiritual Mist Dragon? It seems we need to be more careful."

As the three of them continued to go deeper, they suddenly felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy, and the fog around them suddenly became thicker, as if some kind of giant monster was approaching. Liu Qingfeng's face changed, and he whispered: "Oh no, it's a spiritual mist dragon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spiritual mist dragon appeared from the thick fog. It was dozens of feet long, its scales shone with a faint blue light, its eyes were blood red like lanterns, and it spewed out thick spiritual mist from its mouth, with an imposing aura.

Fu Shaoping's eyes turned cold, and the long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, with a cold light flashing on the sword: "Nangong, be careful!"

Nangong Wan nodded, and drew out the long sword in his hand, with a faint spiritual power wrapped around the blade: "Shao Ping, let's join forces!"

Liu Qingfeng stood aside, drawing a spell with the sword in his hand, and whispered: "I will contain its spiritual mist!"

The Spiritual Mist Dragon roared, and opened its mouth to spit out a cloud of dense spiritual mist. The mist contained a powerful corrosive force, and wherever it passed, the grass and trees withered instantly. Fu Shaoping flashed, and the sword flashed like lightning, going straight for the throat of the Spiritual Mist Dragon. Nangong Wan attacked from the flank, and the sword tip drew a beautiful arc, hitting the side of the Spiritual Mist Dragon.

The Lingwu Jiao was agile, and its tail swept suddenly, bringing up a gust of wind, forcing Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan to retreat. Seeing this, Liu Qingfeng instantly released the spell in his hand, and a golden light shot directly into the eyes of the Lingwu Jiao, temporarily disrupting its vision.

Fu Shaoping seized the opportunity, formed seals with his hands, and whispered: "Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art - Heavenly Thunder Slash!" A thunder force condensed on the tip of his sword, and suddenly slashed at the Spirit Mist Dragon. The Spirit Mist Dragon was hit by the thunder and let out a painful roar, and its scales were blown apart.

Nangong Wan was not to be outdone, with flames entwined on the tip of her sword, she whispered: "Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Art - Blazing Flames!" She slashed with her sword, and the flames turned into a fire dragon, rushing straight towards Lingwu Jiao. Lingwu Jiao was engulfed by the flames and let out a shrill scream.

Liu Qingfeng kept casting spells to interfere with Lingwu Jiao's actions. The three of them cooperated well, and Lingwu Jiao gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After a fierce battle, the Spiritual Mist Dragon finally couldn't hold on any longer, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a ball of rich spiritual energy and dissipating into the air. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Nangong Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "This Spiritual Mist Dragon is indeed difficult to deal with, but we finally defeated it."

Fu Shaoping nodded: "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Liu's containment, otherwise we might not be able to do it so smoothly."

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, "You two Daoists are very powerful. I am just trying my best to help you."

In the lair of the Spiritual Mist Dragon, the three found a "Nine-turn Spiritual Grass". This spiritual grass was crystal clear and exuded a rich spiritual energy, as if it contained infinite power. A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Wan's eyes: "This is the Nine-turn Spiritual Grass! It is a rare spiritual grass that can greatly improve the cultivation of cultivators!"

Fu Shaoping nodded: "Let's divide this spiritual herb equally, and each of us can gain something."

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, "My two Taoist friends are very generous. I am very grateful to you."

The three of them divided the Nine-turn Spiritual Herbs equally, and each of them reaped a rich harvest. After leaving Lingwu Valley, Liu Qingfeng bowed and said, "My two Daoists, I have other things to do, so I'll say goodbye now. If we have the chance in the future, I'll drink with you again." Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan bowed in return, "Take care, Daoist Liu, and we'll meet again."

After watching Liu Qingfeng leave, Nangong Wan said softly: "Shao Ping, this trip to Lingwu Valley not only harvested the Nine-turn Spiritual Grass, but also made the acquaintance of Fellow Daoist Liu. It was really a great opportunity."

After leaving Lingwu Valley, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan decided to use the Nine-Turn Spiritual Grass to refine pills to further improve their cultivation. However, although the Nine-Turn Spiritual Grass is precious, other auxiliary spiritual herbs are needed to refine pills. The two decided to go to various dangerous places in Tiannan Country to look for these spiritual herbs.

Nangong Wan unfolded a map, pointed to a mark and said, "Shao Ping, according to ancient records, the 'Red Flame Flower' grows in the 'Flame Mountain' and is one of the important auxiliary medicines for refining the Nine Revolutions Spirit Pill. We can go there first."

Fu Shaoping nodded: "The environment in Huoyan Mountain is harsh, so we need to be careful. However, in order to refine the elixir, we have to take the risk."

The two of them headed for the Flame Mountain. The Flame Mountain is located in the west of Tiannan Country. It is covered by blazing flames all year round. The mountain is red, like a huge furnace. Nangong Wan stood at the foot of the mountain, feeling the heat coming towards him, and whispered: "The temperature here is extremely high, and ordinary cultivators can hardly bear it."

Fu Shaoping smiled slightly, pinched his fingers, and a cool spiritual shield enveloped the two of them: "With my spiritual shield, we can enter safely."

After entering the Flame Mountain, the two carefully looked for traces of the Red Flame Flower. The Red Flame Flower grows deep in the Flame Mountain. Its petals are as red as flames, emitting a fiery breath. Nangong Wan was sharp-eyed and soon found a Red Flame Flower. She whispered, "Shao Ping, there is one over there!"

Fu Shaoping nodded, and the two approached quickly. However, just as they were about to collect, they suddenly heard a low roar, and a huge fire lizard jumped out of the magma with a fierce light in its eyes.

Nangong Wan frowned and said, "It's a fire lizard. It seems to be guarding this red flame flower."

A hint of coldness flashed across Fu Shaoping's eyes: "It doesn't matter, I'll deal with it."

He flashed, and the sword in his hand flashed a cold light, going straight for the throat of the fire lizard. The fire lizard roared, and a ball of hot flames spurted out of its mouth. Fu Shaoping did not dodge, and a frost force condensed on the sword tip, instantly freezing the flames.

Nangong Wan took the opportunity to quickly collect the red flame flowers and put them into the storage bag. The fire lizard saw that the red flame flowers were taken away, and pounced on Nangong Wan angrily. Fu Shaoping snorted coldly, turned the sword, and a thunder force struck the fire lizard. The fire lizard was hit by the thunder, let out a scream, and then fell to the ground.

Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shao Ping, your strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Fu Shaoping smiled slightly: "For you, I will naturally become stronger."

After collecting the Red Flame Flower, the two continued to look for other auxiliary spiritual medicines. They went to the "Ice Valley" to collect "Ice Soul Grass" and went to the "Wind and Thunder Cliff" to collect "Wind and Thunder Fruit". Each dangerous place was full of dangers, but the two relied on their tacit cooperation and strong strength to overcome the dangers one by one.

In the Ice Valley, Nangong Wan was attacked by a giant frost ape, but Fu Shaoping acted in time and repelled it with the power of thunder. On the Wind and Thunder Cliff, Fu Shaoping was trapped by the power of wind and thunder, but Nangong Wan helped him out with the power of fire. The relationship between the two deepened with each adventure.

Finally, the two gathered all the auxiliary spiritual medicines and returned to a safe cave. Nangong Wan took out the alchemy furnace and said softly: "Shao Ping, let's start refining the elixir."

Fu Shaoping nodded and placed the Nine-turn Spiritual Herbs and other auxiliary spiritual medicines one by one beside the alchemy furnace. Nangong Wan made hand gestures and silently recited the alchemy formula, and a blazing flame suddenly ignited in the alchemy furnace. She put the Nine-turn Spiritual Herbs into the furnace, and then added the Red Flame Flower, Ice Soul Grass and Wind Thunder Fruit in turn.

The process of alchemy is extremely complicated, requiring precise fire control skills and strong spiritual support. Nangong Wan was concentrating, with fine beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead. Fu Shaoping was guarding her at the side, ready to deal with any possible accidents at any time.

As time went by, a strong fragrance of elixir gradually emanated from the alchemy furnace. A hint of joy flashed in Nangong Wan's eyes: "The elixir is done!"

At the moment when Nangong Wan put the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pill into the jade bottle, the sky outside the cave suddenly became gloomy, with dark clouds and rumbling thunder. A powerful pressure from heaven and earth enveloped it, as if it was going to crush the entire cave.

Nangong Wan's face changed and he exclaimed, "Oh no, it's the pill tribulation! The Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pill is too powerful and it has brought about a heaven and earth thunder tribulation!"

Fu Shaoping frowned and said in a deep voice: "The pill tribulation is very serious. We must immediately set up a formation to resist it, otherwise the pill and the cave will be destroyed by the thunder tribulation."

Nangong Wan nodded, quickly took out several array plates and array flags from her storage bag, and quickly set them up. As she set up the array, she explained, "This is the 'Nine Palaces Lightning Protection Array', which can resist some of the power of the thunder tribulation. But the power of the pill tribulation is strong, and we need to deal with it with all our strength."

Fu Shaoping did not hesitate, and he pressed his hands together, injecting spiritual power into the array disk. The runes on the array disk lit up instantly, and the spiritual light intertwined into a net, covering the entire cave.

A moment later, the first thunderbolt fell with a bang, and the thick thunder rushed straight to the cave like a giant dragon. The spiritual light of the Nine Palaces Lightning Array collided with the thunder, making a deafening roar. The formation trembled slightly, but was not broken.

Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained solemn: "This is only the first thunder tribulation, there are eight more to come, each one stronger than the last."

Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "We need to do our best to maintain the formation and cannot relax at all."

The second thunderbolt followed closely, and the power of the thunderbolt was several times stronger than the first one. The formation trembled violently again, and the spiritual light flickered. Nangong Wan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shao Ping, the formation can't hold up anymore!"

Fu Shaoping's eyes flashed with determination, and he whispered, "I'll reinforce the formation!"

He formed seals with his hands, silently chanted the formula, and the spiritual power in his body rushed into the array disk frantically. The spiritual light of the array suddenly became stronger, barely resisting the second thunder tribulation.

The third and fourth thunderbolts fell one after another, the power of thunder became stronger and stronger, and cracks began to appear in the formation. Nangong Wan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he whispered: "Shao Ping, this won't work, we need to find another way!"

Fu Shaoping's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I will attract the lightning, and you will be responsible for maintaining the formation!" (End of this chapter)
