To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 385 Four Symbols Golden Elixir

After the day of his transformation, Chang Yuan returned to his original form.

Normally, it would reveal its snake form, either meditating in the Qingxiao Palace or shrinking down and coiling around Gu Fan's arm.

He concealed his aura so well that no one noticed that the spirit beast hidden in Gu Fan's sleeve was actually a transformed demon king.

One month later.

Su Heng came to Qingxiao Palace to pay his respects.

After some treatment, his injuries had healed, but his face was still pale and shadows were visible under his eyes.

After the palace doors opened, Su Heng slowly entered the hall, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Senior."

"Sit down," Gu Fan said, waving his hand.

"Thank you, senior." Su Heng nodded in response and bent down to sit.

With a flick of his sleeve, Gu Fan caused the palace doors to close automatically. He then pointed a finger into the air, and a faint, almost imperceptible ray of spiritual light spread out.

Su Heng immediately sensed something was off about his surroundings, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

This is not his experience, but one of the characteristics of the Immaculate Body, which is uncontaminated while being exceptionally sensitive to changes in the external world.

"Alright, just say what you have to say. What we say will not be known to outsiders."

Gu Fan said indifferently.

That move just now activated the formation set up in the Azure Sky Palace.

Su Heng's eyes trembled upon hearing this, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I failed to protect the spiritual materials you needed, senior, and I have come here specifically to ask for your forgiveness."

"Is that all?" Gu Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes filled with amusement.

Su Heng quietly looked up and cautiously exchanged a glance with Gu Fan, knowing that his thoughts had been seen through.

After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "This junior does indeed have a favor to ask of you, senior."

Gu Fan thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Although the theft of the spiritual materials was a significant loss, it was the loss suffered by the Yan family.

Su Heng risked his life to protect some of the spiritual materials, which is already a meritorious deed, and there is no reason for him to be punished.

The Xuan Ying Demon Cultivator was so powerful that even the three races at the Nascent Soul stage could not be completely wiped out. Su Heng's apology was just an excuse; his real purpose was to step into the Azure Sky Palace.

To outsiders, it might seem like he was trying to curry favor with Gu Fan.

"Tell me about it," Gu Fan said.

After pondering for a moment, Su Heng requested, "I would like to ask you to forge a natal magic weapon for me, senior."

Gu Fan chuckled and asked, "None of the magical artifacts I crafted... you actually found one you liked?"

The many superior magic weapons he has crafted over the years, though not as good as the Taibai Immortal-Slaying Sword, are still highly coveted by ordinary Golden Core cultivators and are more than enough to serve as their natal magic weapons.

Su Heng's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. After forming his core, he followed Yan Fuyao to escort spiritual materials in the surrounding border regions. With the contributions he had accumulated, it was not difficult for him to exchange for a magic weapon.

"The magical artifacts crafted by the senior are naturally extremely rare and precious, but..."

'

As Su Heng spoke, he took out a crimson jade slip from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Gu Fan: "I would like to ask you to commission one."

Gu Fan immediately became interested.

Su Heng spoke politely, but his actions revealed his true intentions; he clearly didn't fancy the magic weapon Su Heng had crafted.

With a hint of defiance, Gu Fan picked up the jade slip and began to examine it.

After a long while, he slowly put down the jade slip, his brows furrowed slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Danxia mirror, quite interesting."

The jade slip contained the method for crafting a magical artifact called the Danxia Mirror.

This treasure can both unleash a dazzling light to attack enemies and release a misty haze to protect oneself. It contains nineteen restrictions, making it a superior magic treasure that excels in both offense and defense.

But if that were all, it wouldn't be something that would make Gu Fan find strange.

The most unique effect of this treasure is known as the "Mirror Flower Water Moon Technique".

With the right secret technique, a phantom image of the cultivator can be projected into the mirror.

Cultivators can manipulate the illusory image, including but not limited to sorting out meridians, practicing cultivation techniques and secret arts, and even refining the golden core.

If successful, one can expend magical power to reflect the result, ensuring there will be no mistakes during formal cultivation.

Even if it fails, a large amount of mana can be consumed to avoid the outcome of this failure.

In the world of cultivation, many techniques and secret arts can lead to irreparable problems if practiced incorrectly. The "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" is one such example.

The Danxia Mirror was made specifically to deal with this situation.

"If I remember correctly, the Danxia Realm should belong to the Creation Lineage, right?"

Gu Fan suddenly asked.

This mysterious ability to transform illusion into reality is definitely not something that belongs to the Creation Lineage. He saw traces of the Myriad Fates Lineage on the restrictive runes.

Although the Myriad Fate Lineage and the Creation Lineage are not mortal enemies, they are by no means harmonious.

The cultivator who designed this treasure has committed a taboo.

Su Heng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"What you say is true, senior. The Danxia Realm is indeed a lineage of creation, but our sect once had an ancestor who was on good terms with a cultivator from the Myriad Fate Lineage."

"The two sat down and discussed the Dao, and later the method of refining the Danxia Mirror was developed."

"I see." Gu Fan nodded slightly.

It has to be said that Su Heng really found the right person.

Of all the weapon refiners in the Yan family, only Gu Fan is confident that he can successfully refine this treasure.

It's not just the nineteen restrictions that are important, but also the runes of the Myriad Fate Lineage contained within them.

The talisman is the "application" of Taoist magic. The difficulty of fusing the talismanic restrictions of two lineages is greatly increased.

"I can indeed refine this treasure."

As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, Su Heng was overjoyed.

Before she could even thank him, Gu Fan asked, "So... what about the payment?"

Su Heng's smile froze.

The reward for refining a magic weapon of this grade is definitely not small, not to mention that Danxia Mirror is somewhat taboo.

Fortunately, he was prepared and took out another jade slip: "This is the reward I can offer. I wonder if senior can accept it."

Gu Fan picked up the jade slip and examined it. After reading it clearly, his heart skipped a beat, and his expression quickly became serious.

"Is this prescription authentic?" he asked in a deep voice.

Su Heng responded decisively: "Absolutely true!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan tapped his finger lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and then stared at Su Heng: "Alright, I'll take this task!"

The jade slip contained a recipe for a pill called "Four Symbols and Five Elements Golden Elixir," which was not for enhancing magical power or healing injuries, but rather a body-refining elixir.

As is well known, demonic beasts of the same cultivation level have a lifespan far longer than human cultivators, but their cultivation speed is extremely slow.

Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the lifespan of a demon beast is about three times that of a human cultivator.

Although there are some exceptions, such as the transformation of spiritual plants into human form and the longer lifespan of turtle-type spiritual beasts, this is generally true.

As cultivation levels increase, the lifespan difference between demonic beasts and human cultivators will gradually decrease.

The Four Symbols and Five Elements Golden Elixir is made by taking the inner cores of four kinds of demonic beasts, combining them with other spiritual materials, and then digesting them using secret methods to create a unique Dharma body.

With a breakthrough in body refinement, lifespan can be increased to the same level as that of a demon beast!

Gu Fan could imagine the bloodshed that would ensue if such a formula were to be leaked.

A Nascent Soul cultivator's lifespan is five thousand years, but consuming this pill can extend it to ten thousand years!

Of course, while the effects are miraculous, the cost is also extremely high.

The four types of demonic beasts corresponding to the four symbols must be at the same level as the cultivator.

In other words, if one cultivates to the Void Refinement stage and then refines pills, one must kill four sixth-tier demon lords!

"Killing those four transformed demonic beasts might be a viable option," Gu Fan thought to himself.

However, to refine the Four Symbols and Five Elements Golden Elixir, a unique body-refining secret method is required, which is not recorded in the jade slip.

Upon hearing Gu Fan's agreement, Su Heng immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, senior! As long as the magic weapon is successfully refined, the body-refining technique will surely follow."

""

Gu Fan reached out to interrupt him, helped him up, and shook his head, saying, "This gift is far too generous; there's no need to thank me."

"However... I am a little curious."

His brows lowered slightly, his body leaned forward a little, and he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you offer this Danxia Realm inheritance... to the Yan family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qingxiao Palace fell silent.
