My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 173 Pill Formation
After listening to the music played by Xiang Qinxian again, Zhou Ping relaxed completely, and all the anxiety and pressure in his heart were swept away. He knew that this was also related to his previous actions. It was like he was releasing all the negative emotions accumulated during his retreat.

Leave Lexiang Pavilion.

He used instruments to test three major data items.

Mana: 800

Spiritual consciousness: 79

Physical body: 79

See this display.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Just by relaxing his mind, the three stagnant data increased so much in just a few hours. Although this was originally promoted by the excess energy such as natural treasures and elixirs accumulated in his body, the effect of his state of mind was indeed obvious.

This also made Zhou Ping realize for the first time how important state of mind is.

It seems like nothing at ordinary times.

But at critical moments, especially when strength reaches its limit, the impact will be huge.

Xiao Ding said, "The reason why many peerless geniuses ultimately perished was actually mostly due to their state of mind. Unlike visible talents like spiritual roots and aptitude, the state of mind is invisible and intangible. It all depends on the individual's understanding. The higher the realm, the more important the influence of the state of mind becomes."

"The state of mind is divided into four levels. The first level is seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. The second level is seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water. The third level is seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as who it is. The fourth level is seeing the mind as infinite and infinitely inclusive, the mind is the universe."

"I have never seen anyone reach the third level of mind. Sometimes, what we call seeing through is actually not seeing through. It's such a shame to lose so many extraordinary talents."

As if he recalled something, Xiao Ding said a lot, which was unusual for him.

Zhou Ping was silent.

He probably hasn't even reached the first level yet, but he understands that an ancient treasure like Xiaoding, which has been left over from ancient times, has experiences, insights, and even stories that can be easily pulled out to form an epic experience film.

"Based on your current progress, you'll be ready to officially form a Core in half a month at most. So, during this half month, all you need to do is continue to relax, adjust your mindset, and put yourself in peak condition so you can break through to the Extreme Golden Core level in one fell swoop."

Xiao Ding continued, "Don't feel any pressure. You have accumulated a lot of experience. The success rate of forming a golden elixir is 100%. Even if it is not good enough, it will be a top-grade golden elixir."

Zhou Ping nodded.

Along the way, he consumed too many national fortune points and frequently entered ancient ruins on Earth several times. When he came here, he secretly sneaked into the three top forces in the Chixia Mountains. Although the dangers he encountered were not many, his experience can be said to be legendary.

Leaving Chiyunfang.

He deliberately slowed down a bit while stepping on the Purple Sky Sword, just to see if the old skeleton dared to catch up with him. However, after waiting for several hours, he did not sense any hidden breath, which made him shake his head. It seemed that Le Xiangge's attack had indeed scared the other party.

that's the truth.

The old man with dried bones had some confidence before, but he was not sure about Zhou Ping's strength. However, after seeing it with his own eyes, he instantly lost the idea of ​​taking action.

too strong.

With that kind of oppressive aura, he suspected that if he took action, he would be the one to die.

After the news of Lexiang Pavilion spread, many forces in the entire Chiyunfang area were completely shaken. Before this, they had visited the house but did not take it seriously. Only the Luo family, the Chiyun Merchant Alliance and three other families stayed and waited.

But now.

Almost everyone with a little strength and background rushed to Huangling Mountain, wanting to visit and make friends with Zhou Ping. After all, such a powerful late-stage foundation-building cultivator, once he formed a golden elixir in the future, his strength could be imagined. He might become one of the top-ranked golden elixir masters in the Chiyun area.

It will even be absorbed into the major forces of Chixia Mountains.

The Luo family elder was also among them, and this time he brought Luo Hong with him.

"Old man of three tribes."

"That senior really killed a late Foundation Establishment cultivator with a single blow?"

On top of the flying magic weapon.

There are several of them, in addition to the Luo family elder and Luo Hong, there are also two other young talents of the Luo family.

The Luo family elder sighed, "I still can't believe it. Many cultivators were present at the Kelexiang Pavilion and saw it with their own eyes. This can't be fake. Although the late Foundation Establishment cultivator who was killed was just a casual cultivator and not very powerful, he was still in the late Foundation Establishment stage no matter how weak he was!"

The Luo family used to have a Jindan Zhenren, but now they only have one in the late foundation building stage. If it weren't for the magic weapon left by the Zhenren, the Luo family's reputation would have declined rapidly.

"Hong'er."

"You and Master Zhou have met once. You crossed paths when he first arrived here. This is fate. If you can meet him later, you must do as I say."

"Yes, Elder Three."

The other two young talents looked at Luo Hong and couldn't help but feel a little envious. As long as such a powerful cultivator did not die, he might become a powerful figure who would influence the Chixia Mountains in the future. And being able to get to know him in the beginning was an opportunity that could not be sought after.

Huangling Mountain.

It does not look like other mountains with spiritual veins, which are rolling, majestic and magnificent. Instead, the entire Huangling Mountain is an isolated high mountain, surrounded by low mountains and there is no large water source. Although the scenery is nice, it is far inferior to other spiritual vein caves.

But these days.

There are many people coming and going in Huangling Mountain every day, and it is very lively.

There are family forces like the Luo family who come to visit, there are also individual cultivators who want to join Huangling Mountain, and there are also those who want to become disciples.

However, the Zhou Ping they wanted to see was no longer in Huangling Mountain.

"My dear seniors, I'm truly sorry. After returning from Scarlet Cloud Square, the mountain master has been traveling to relax. He hasn't said when he'll be back. However, my mountain master has instructed that if you want to join Huangling Mountain, you must sign the Huangling Mountain Agreement. This agreement prohibits you from leaving the Huangling Mountain area for a hundred years. If you violate it, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Deacon Wang did not show any fear in the face of so many monks. Although he was still nervous, his every move and gesture showed that of a deacon from a powerful force.

The master of their own mountain is very powerful and can instantly kill those in the late stage of foundation building. Now many forces are trying to make friends with him, and no one dares to provoke him. In this situation, those in Huangling Mountain are all proud of it.

When I go out, I can stand up straight.

The elders of the Luo family and the forces of the Chiyun Business Alliance didn't say much. As for complaining, they didn't dare to complain.

……

Zhou Ping was indeed relaxing.

He also took Gu Yunru with him to travel around Chiyunfang. He was really unfamiliar with the surroundings. Although he had a map, the map here was very blurry, unlike the ultra-clear map with no blind spots like the one on Earth.

Therefore, while taking advantage of the time to relax, he used the high technology of the Earth to map out all the mountains and cities in the Chiyunfang area.

The last time he went to Chi Ming Mountain, it took him more than ten days, but that was a full-speed flight. The area around Chi Yun Fang is actually very large. If measured by airplane, it is larger than the New Han Kingdom, that is, South Africa.

It's about twice as much.

Among them, there are more than a dozen places with spiritual veins and caves, which makes Zhou Ping very excited. Huangling Mountain alone has earned more than 3 billion national fortune points. If all these territories are occupied, it will be tens of billions!
"After breaking through to the Golden Core level, the National Fortune Points consumed for daily cultivation will probably increase. I'm afraid the remaining National Fortune Points will not be enough!"

Although he was very tempted, he knew that he did not have enough strength to occupy such a large area. Firstly, he was not strong enough, and secondly, he did not have enough manpower to manage it. At least he had to have monks under his command to guard it and prevent other forces from plundering it.

Otherwise, he would not be able to bear the loss of national fortune points due to the backlash of territory.

More than half a month passed.

Zhou Ping's spiritual consciousness and physical body have both reached 80 national destiny points.

This was already the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, he still did not choose to retreat immediately. Instead, he followed Gu Yunru to visit the last place and returned to Huangling Mountain before announcing his retreat.

In the quiet room of Lingmai.

A large number of spirit stones were piled up randomly, including dozens of high-quality spirit stones.

Xiao Ding had said that his breakthrough to the Core Formation stage would cause quite a stir, and the spiritual energy required would be immense, so he had to be prepared for any eventuality. Therefore, in addition to preparing these spirit stones, he also set up a formation to extract spiritual veins. Once the critical moment came and there was insufficient spiritual energy, the spiritual veins would have to be exhausted.

call.

suck.

Adjust your breathing and mental state.

Zhou Ping felt the abundant and mellow magic power in his body, and then he practiced the technique of "The Book of Fire and Fire·The Human Scroll". The fairy fire seed immediately burned, and a blazing flame rose from his dantian. A large amount of magic power became violent and hot under the burning of the fairy fire.

Form pills.

It is necessary to integrate the spiritual, physical and magical powers into one to condense the purest magical pill. Therefore, the golden pill contains the spiritual and physical essence of the cultivator. Once the golden pill is broken, it will cause great losses to the cultivator, and in serious cases, he will die.

There are three steps.

The first step is to compress the magic power to the extreme so that it reaches the purest state. The second step is to use spiritual consciousness to integrate the magic power and circulate it through the meridians of the entire body for nine cycles. At this stage, the magic power will become condensed.

The last step is also the most crucial one, which is to condense the magic power into a pill.

The higher the level of the magic pill, the more likely it is to trigger a thunder tribulation. This thunder tribulation is called the pill tribulation. It is not as bad as the various tribulations of Nascent Soul. Most cultivators can withstand it. The reason they fail is mainly because their own foundation is not enough and it is difficult to form a pill.

Zhou Ping has an extremely strong foundation.

The first two stages didn't take much time at all.

The third stage.

Rumble.

At the beginning, the spiritual energy from thousands of miles around Huangling Mountain quickly gathered together and soon formed a vortex, with thunderclouds seeming to gather in the center.

Such a movement instantly attracted the attention of all the monks in Huangling Mountain, including the guests staying in Huangling Mountain.

"Who is forming the elixir?"

"Such a strange phenomenon in the world, it seems that someone is forming a pill."

"Who else could be in Huangling Mountain? It's the mountain master who is in charge of forming a pill!"

The Luo family, as well as forces such as the Chiyun Business Alliance, were all suspended in the sky, looking at the rolling spiritual thunderclouds.

Boom kaka.

A pillar of purple lightning descended and struck the top of the mountain.

See this scene.

The Luo family elder was stunned. "What? Purple lightning appeared just after forming a pill!"

Elder Hong of the Chiyun Business Alliance was also shocked. When a golden elixir is formed, the thunder tribulation that occurs is basically accumulated power, and it is rare for it to actually fall. It is rumored that only golden elixirs of excellent quality will experience real thunder tribulations. They did not expect to see it.

"Zhou Shan has successfully survived the thunder tribulation and condensed his golden elixir. He must be the first golden elixir to have survived the thunder tribulation in the Chixia Mountains in the past thousand years!"

"Yes, he can destroy those of the same level in the late stage of foundation building. If he becomes a golden elixir..."

The representatives of all forces had different expressions.

Some of them wanted to take the opportunity to break the interference, but the thought was suppressed as soon as it came. Not to mention whether they could destroy it by interfering in such a thunder tribulation, the consequences would be very serious once they took action. Moreover, since the other party dared to form a pill, he must have made many preparations.

Boom kaka.

Another purple lightning descended.

Representatives of the Luo family and other forces were quietly suspended in the air, but their faces were filled with envy.

And in the quiet room.

As the thunder struck.

His strong body easily withstood the attack, and the purple power of the lightning was absorbed into his body, nourishing the magic pill.

At this moment, the golden elixir in his dantian had already condensed into shape. The surface of the rapidly rotating golden elixir had an extremely complex and mysterious pattern. The small cauldron in the sea of ​​consciousness looked at it with shock. It knew that this was a Dao pattern, and it was an innate Dao pattern.

"This kid is really lucky. His golden elixir can automatically record the innate Dao pattern. As long as he doesn't die, he will have a bright future. Maybe he can even walk the path of immortality!"

The innate Taoist body is indeed very special, but it is extremely rare for Taoist patterns to appear on the golden elixir.

This clearly showed that Zhou Ping's accumulation was too strong. Both his consciousness and body were perfect and had reached a certain limit. The most important thing was that he had the Immortal Fire Seed to condense his magic power, which resulted in his body being free of any flaws accumulated from taking the pills.

boom.

The purple thunder clouds continued to fall, and each time seemed to be tempering Zhou Ping's golden elixir, making it more round and unpretentious.

However, this process is also very dangerous.

If you are not careful, your body will be smashed to pieces by the high-speed rotating golden elixir.

The various forces floating outside were numb as they watched the continuous thunder tribulations. It was the first time they had seen a Jindan thunder tribulation comparable to that of a Nascent Soul. It was simply outrageous.

The more outrageous it is, the more it represents Zhou Ping's uniqueness.

Until the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

All the monks stared at the top of the mountain.

Deacon Wang and others in Huangling Mountain were praying that nothing would happen to the mountain master. They finally had a backer, and if Zhou Ping failed, their future cultivation life would return to the time when it was occupied by the Seven Demons of Huangling.

The Luo family and the Chiyun Merchant Alliance hope that Zhou Ping will succeed. They have a pretty good relationship with Zhou Ping, but other forces do not have such kindness. After all, if Zhou Ping succeeds, Huangling Mountain will become the strongest Jindan force in the Chiyunfang area.

Wow.

The thunderclouds dispersed, and the spiritual energy gathered in Huangling Mountain also began to dissipate.

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably powerful aura of magical power emanated from the top of the mountain. This aura enveloped Huangling Mountain in the blink of an eye. All the cultivators felt the huge, mountain-like pressure, and breathing became difficult.

"Oh my god, is this the true strength of Master Zhou?!"

"Just after forming the elixir, he already has such a magnificent aura of magical power. How did he cultivate?"

"Damn it! If I had known earlier, I would have interfered even at the risk of my life!"

this moment.

The elders of the Luo family and other forces all understood that the new master of Huangling Mountain had succeeded in forming a golden core!
