Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 52 Strange Fire
Strange fire, yes, it is the Xuanhuangyan, ranked 23rd in "Fights Break Sphere".

However, what is currently in Zhao Shuang's hand is just a ball of deep yellow flame. Apart from the higher temperature, there is nothing special about it.

The temperature of this Xuanhuang Flame was also terrifyingly high, much higher than the highest temperature of the earth fire he had ever seen.

Iron essence, a refining material that can only be refined by cultivators in the Jindan stage, turned into a pool of molten iron in just a few breaths under the high temperature.

However, the disadvantages are also very obvious, and the consumption of true energy and mana is too great.

At Zhao Shuang's current level, he can only hold on for one or two minutes at most before his Dantian's true energy and magic power are exhausted.

Therefore, it can only be used as a trump card to deal with enemies that cannot be dealt with.

Apart from the high temperature, Zhao Shuang studied it for several days but did not find any other uses, which made him feel quite sorry.

"If only it were the Flame of Life."

Zhao Shuang muttered helplessly.

However, he also knew that if it was the Flame of Life, with his current level of cultivation and realm, it would probably be drained out before he could use it to ripen the elixir.

But after all, I have one more killer weapon that can be used to save my life, so it’s not a complete loss.

Moreover, he felt that the use of the Xuanhuang Flame was not limited to this one, and there should be other uses.

After all, it is a treasure from this world, how could it have only this little use?

He remembered using strange fire to refine pills, and the effect was very good, but he could not persist for long, so he had to give up the idea, continue to practice, and wait for the next golden finger to appear.

The most important thing now is to practice, break through the realm, and wait for the golden finger.

Nothing else matters to Zhao Shuang, and he doesn't care.

Of course, not many people paid attention to him, a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Just like that, half a year passed in a flash after obtaining the strange fire Xuanhuangyan. Zhao Shuang relied on the waste pills refined from the blue star sea, ten times the cultivation speed, and the Demon Refining Pot to successfully break through the late stage of foundation building.

The Black Scaled Dragon Beast, a top-level monster in the Demon Refining Pot, and the other two top-level monsters also successfully advanced to the second level, which is equivalent to the existence of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

His strength can be said to have greatly increased, and the most important thing to do after breaking through the late stage of foundation building is naturally to condense the golden elixir and become a cultivator in the Jindan stage.

Only in this way can we have a certain degree of self-protection in the next invasion of the demonic path or when we go to the Chaos Star Sea.

However, it is not an easy task to condense the golden elixir and become a Jindan stage cultivator. It requires elixirs, resources, and especially too much time.

As for the waste pills, it is not advisable to continue exchanging the waste pills from Huangfeng Valley for the time being, so we can only find ways to obtain the waste pills from other sects.

Of course, another reason is that the waste pills from Huangfeng Valley are no longer of much use to him, so naturally he needs pills of better quality.

Among the seven sects of Yue State, the only one that possesses this elixir is the Yanyue Sect.

Moreover, after Zhao Shuang inquired, he also got a reason why he had to go to Yanyue Sect to collect the waste pills.

"Golden Yuan Pill, the ancient elixir obtained by the Yanyue Sect, can increase the chance of condensing a golden elixir in the late foundation-building stage by one or two percent. However, over the years, the Golden Yuan Pill can only be refined once every hundred years, and it has been divided up by the Yanyue Sect and several other sects."

Even though it is only one or two percent, it is still the panacea that countless cultivators in the late foundation building stage of the seven sects of Yue State dream of.

Every time it appeared, it would stir up quite a stir. In order to obtain a Golden Yuan Pill, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators of various sects would use all means, at any cost. Even the immortal cultivation sects of Yuanwu and Zijin, countries neighboring Yue, would occasionally join in, offering treasures or favors in exchange for one or two.

After all, every additional Jindan stage cultivator is a huge boost to the strength of the entire sect.

However, a success rate of only one or two percent is not much, but it may also play a key role. Basically, every time it comes out, one or two Jindan stage cultivators will appear afterwards.

This time the Jinyuan Pill was "deified".

But if you look into it in detail, the one or two percent chance of obtaining the Golden Yuan Pill is nothing at all, and there are quite a few cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, not to mention the other countries, even in the seven sects of Yue Kingdom.

Each sect has at least twenty to thirty cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage. With such a huge base, the appearance of one or two cultivators in the Core Formation stage is really nothing.

But no matter what, this Jinyuan Pill can indeed increase the chance of condensing the golden pill, so it is also something Zhao Shuang must get.

After practicing for so long, Zhao Shuang also understood the power and function of the tiger talisman. It can block the inner demons and put the mind in a state suitable for practice.

This state is something that other cultivators can only encounter by chance, but for Zhao Shuang, he can enter it at any time with the help of the tiger talisman without worrying about accidents.

It is not uncommon for cultivators to be invaded by inner demons when they are impatient or have something on their mind during the practice, causing their true essence to be reversed and backfired, and their realm to fall.

But Zhao Shuang doesn't need to worry about this happening.

Therefore, he still attaches great importance to the Tiger Talisman. As long as he accumulates enough, he will be able to break through successfully.

For example, this time the breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building was very smooth.

He might not be able to get the finished Jinyuan Pill from the Yanyue Sect, but if it is a waste Jinyuan Pill, it should be no problem.

However, you also need to find out some information before you can successfully enter the Yanyue Sect.

The foundation-building cultivators of the seven sects would mostly stay in their sects to practice. If there were no other matters, they would rarely go out to gain experience or do things.

Moreover, unlike the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, each of them will be registered, so it is not easy to disguise themselves.

Zhao Shuang's current identity was confirmed after many inquiries.

It is not easy to infiltrate the Yanyue Sect nowadays.

Therefore, it is not enough for him to rely on himself alone, and he needs help from others.

The only people he could trust were Xin Ruyin and Xiaomei, the master and servant.

He simply couldn't trust anyone else. It was a good thing that so much time had passed, and the master and servant should have heard some news about the waste pills.

Although he originally wanted to take away all the waste pills in the Yuelu Hall of Huangfeng Valley under various identities, this would be too suspicious, so he had to give up.

However, it is possible now. As for the Spirit Eye Spring in the cave, with enough spiritual medicines, ten times the cultivation speed, and the help of the Demon Refining Pot, it is not as helpful to him as he imagined.

So, even if it is discovered, it won’t be a big deal.

Of course, he couldn't take them all away, otherwise he would be discovered and wouldn't even be able to leave Yuelu Palace.
