Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 99 Fighting Dan
Su You carefully studied the information on the jade slip, especially the taboos and the content of previous assessments.

After waiting for an hour inside Jade Spirit Peak, an old man with red hair walked in unhurriedly from outside.

"Uncle Cui," Zhao Qing greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder." Su You and the others also bowed in unison.

He recognized the old man in front of him from the sect's encyclopedia; he was a Grand Elder at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. It seemed that the sect attached great importance to this trip to the secret realm.

"Let's go. It's not good to go too late," Cui Xiu said calmly.

A few days later, when they arrived at the nearby teleportation hall, an elder was already waiting there. "Uncle-Master, the teleportation array is ready."

As he spoke, he handed Su You and the others another talisman.

"This is a teleportation talisman. It will be activated after a few people enter the teleportation array."

This teleportation took place hundreds of millions of miles away. Without the protection of their physical bodies by spiritual talismans, they, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, would probably have been annihilated by the spatial pressure.

Su You took the talisman and looked at the runes on it with great interest. He was quite interested in this kind of talisman.

Although his teleportation array is currently very short and his physical body is strong, he does not need the protection of such a talisman for the time being.

However, we may still need this kind of thing in the future, since such a thing doesn't exist in the wizarding world.

After entering the teleportation array, Su You immediately activated the spirit talisman, and an invisible layer of protection appeared around the edge of his body.

Before he could observe carefully, the space instantly changed, and an immense pressure swept over him.

Even with the protection of the talisman, he could still feel that suffocating pressure.

However, during this teleportation process, Su You had no way to observe it, and couldn't even open his eyes.

After a few breaths, the surroundings returned to normal, and the talisman in his hand dimmed slightly.

Su You estimated that it could be used a few more times; this kind of talisman should be at least at the third level.

Fortunately, it is a protective talisman, which does not require spiritual sense. Only offensive talismans require a strong spiritual sense in order to control the talisman to attack.

……

Danxin Prefecture, Shengdan City.

After arriving here, Zhao Qing let them move around freely and experience the atmosphere of the sacred land of alchemy.

They were considered geniuses in alchemy within their sect, and even in Qingzhou, but they were nothing special here.

After all, once he arrived here, Su You could feel the difference from the Void City.

The large number of cultivators is only one aspect; he can now clearly smell the fragrance of elixirs as he walks down the street.

This shows how strong the atmosphere of alchemy was here.

"It's a pill-refining contest! It's a pill-refining contest! The Zhang family's little genius is having another pill-refining contest with a third-tier pill master!" The first cultivator nearby announced loudly.

"Dou Dan" is a popular form of competition here.

After all, most of the people living here are alchemists, and if they have grudges, they will settle them by alchemy competition.

Su You was very interested in this, so he immediately followed the crowd and prepared to see what was going on.

Moreover, judging from the bustling crowd around him, it was clear that the young genius from the Zhang family was quite famous.

Upon arriving at the scene, Su You saw a young man and a middle-aged man sitting upright in front of the alchemy furnace, forming various profound hand seals and casting them into the furnace. "Are these the geniuses of the Alchemy Holy Land?" Su You was slightly surprised.

Judging from the words of the others, the young man in front of them was only over seventy years old, but his cultivation had already reached the Golden Core realm, and his alchemy had also reached the middle level of the third rank.

On the surface, Su You is indeed far inferior to his opponent.

He is now over seventy years old, and his cultivation level has just broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. His alchemy level is only at the second-grade upper level.

However, these geniuses were all nurtured from a young age, and countless precious resources were spent on them.

Su You truly began to exert his power thirty years ago, when he had just gained financial freedom and a safe cultivation environment.

If he had also enjoyed such resources from a young age, he might have been able to break through to the Golden Core realm as well.

Of course, there's no comparison when it comes to alchemy. Su You's talent in that area is average and can't be compared to a true genius.

However, by taking the path of steady progress, without rushing ahead, and by making steady progress step by step, he can achieve the same, or even greater, success.

Even after experiencing the wonders of the outside world, Su You had no desire to venture out.

Even within the Void Heaven Sect, which he knew best, he hadn't made a name for himself, let alone in the outside world.

Even if he were to leave Qingzhou to make his way in the world, he would at least need to break through to the Golden Core realm.

Su You still has ways to break through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage. Whether in the Void Heaven Immortal City or within the Void Heaven Sect, there are ways to obtain the Golden Core.

However, the transition from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is beyond the support of any sect.

The Nascent Soul Pill is extremely precious, and even within the sect, it is in short supply. Some elders have waited for hundreds of years without ever getting the chance.

One's chances of success depend on their contributions to the sect.

Su You watched for a while and then left.

Alchemy battles are actually quite boring. He can't learn anything from their alchemy techniques, so he might as well wander around and see if he can buy some high-grade spiritual herbs.

After all, this is a sacred place for alchemy, so there must be a large supply of spiritual herbs, otherwise there wouldn't be so many alchemists here.

Su You also hoped that his alchemy skills could reach the third level as soon as possible, so that he could try to refine third-level pills to enhance the soul.

Although his mental strength was slowly increasing, the speed was still too slow.

Although he persists in meditation every day, and each breakthrough in his cultivation brings a slight increase to his mental strength, his mental strength is now not far from the level of the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

However, if he had a third-tier soul-refining pill, his spiritual power would definitely improve much faster, allowing him to break through to the second-tier wizard realm sooner.

……

The Void Heaven Pavilion.

Su You and his group of six returned one after another, and it was clear that their morale was not very high.

After all, these six people were considered alchemy geniuses, the stars of the show, within the Void Heaven Sect, but they were nothing special here.

Zhao Qing didn't say anything after seeing it. Back then, when he was brought here by the elders of the sect, he also suffered a great blow, but he was more determined to fight.

If they can get through this hurdle, although these people may not be able to reach the level of a fourth-tier alchemy master, maintaining a relatively high level of third-tier alchemy will be quite easy.
