Wonderland

Chapter 1297 Gudan Conference
Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at this Elder Gongsun with admiration.

After Xiao Lin advanced to the Void Refining Realm, he began to refine the sixth-order spirit pills. As the grades of the spirit pills he refined became higher and higher, he gradually found that he was a little weak in alchemy attainments.

The higher the grade of the elixir, the more special techniques need to be added to the refining process, and even the power of rules needs to be poured into the elixir.

These processes are extremely cumbersome and complicated, and a little carelessness may lead to the failure of alchemy.

Therefore, in order to become a top-grade purple-rank alchemist, not only a large amount of resources are needed, but also talents and opportunities are required, which can be said to be indispensable.

In Xiao Lin's view, it is only natural for him to be the keynote speaker of the Gudan Conference.

"Huh? Elder Xue, is there a market that sells elixir?" Xiao Lin suddenly saw that on the side of the valley, there was a valley in the valley. There were many immortal cultivators gathered in that valley, and there were many At the stall, most of the cultivators who entered the valley walked towards the valley.

Hearing this, Xue Lingshan said with a smile: "It will be some time before Elder Gongsun will tell the secrets of alchemy, and every ancient alchemy conference, according to the usual practice, will open up some exchanges on elixir, alchemy, craftsmanship, and elixir. Alchemists can also trade their own alchemy pills in the [Pill Fragrance Valley] to exchange information, and of course they can also sell some pills that they don’t use in exchange for the pills they need.”

After listening to the explanation, Xiao Lin finally understood.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Lin didn't expect that there would be so many famous places in the Ancient Pill Conference, and he sighed in his heart that this trip was worthwhile.

After a few people chatted for a while, the elder surnamed Mu, as well as Elder Guan and Elder Gongsun left one after another. They still needed to prepare some matters for the meeting.

As for Xiao Lin, he was naturally handed over to Xue Lingshan for reception.

The two walked up the valley.

"I really didn't expect that the last time I saw Brother Xiao, I was only in the mid-stage of Void Refinement. Less than a hundred years have passed, and I have already entered the late stage of Void Refinement. It really surprised Lingshan."

Xue Lingshan's words shortened the distance between the two of them a lot.

Xiao Lin didn't take it seriously either. In this barren sea, being able to meet a human sect really made him feel a lot closer. Moreover, Xiaodanshan has alchemy as the foundation of its sect, and it has no real benefit to him. Conflict, on the contrary, can use Xiaodanshan's accumulation in alchemy to improve his alchemy skills, and Xiao Lin has no intention of rejecting it.

"Xue Xianzi is overrated. Xiao has also reached the peak of the mid-stage of refining, and he has made a lot of preparations before he dared to try to attack the late stage of refining. However, Xiao's luck is not bad, and he succeeded in the attack by luck, but it is also Therefore, it has been delayed for a long time, so that I only came to participate in the Gudan Conference at this moment, and I hope the fairy will not mind."

"Brother Xiao, what's the matter? Brother Xiao is able to advance to the late stage of Void Refinement, and Lingshan is also happy for Brother Xiao. In comparison, the Ancient Pill Conference is still secondary, and the Ancient Pill Conference is held every ten years. With our state You can join anytime."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Looking at Fairy Xue, Xiao is already full of energy and full of mana. It seems that he has already advanced to the peak of the late stage of Void Refining. I am afraid that he will be able to advance to the peak of Void Refining in the near future. When the time comes to advance to the stage of Fusion, it will be too. Just around the corner."

Xue Lingshan sighed softly when she heard the words, shook her head and said: "Although Lingshan has reached the peak of the late refining stage, she still needs to be well prepared to hit the peak of refining the void. It is no small matter, but it is the most severe catastrophe among the three minor disasters. It can be said that nine out of ten of us cultivators will eventually perish under this wind."

Xiao Lin also fell silent when he heard the words. This minor disaster is a catastrophe that monks in the refining stage must go through, especially this last little wind, which is rumored to be able to blow directly into the cultivator's body and all physical defenses. In the primordial spirit of the victim, if the mind is not strong enough, or the power of the primordial spirit is not strong enough, it may disappear under the wind and become a corpse.

It can be said that the stage of refining the void is the most difficult hurdle for a cultivator.

The minor three disasters are also called Heavenly Tribulation by the world of cultivating immortals, especially the disaster of the last level, which is called Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, its power is very terrifying. Forty-nine heavenly tribulations and sixty-nine heavenly tribulations, there is a [-]% chance of surviving the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, and the probability of surviving the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations is less than [-]%. Eight or nine of them will fall under the wind.

"The future will be long, Fairy Xue can definitely postpone the tribulation, and make full preparations first." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin had no choice but to say comfortingly.

Unexpectedly, Xue Lingshan showed a wry smile when she heard the words: "Brother Xiao doesn't know that Lingshan has been stagnant in this late stage of refinement for 9000 years. The catastrophe has come, otherwise we can only wait for the end of life, the arrival of the five declines of heaven and man."

Xiao Lin's face changed slightly when he heard the words. What the middle and high-level cultivators are most afraid of is the five declines of human beings that day. Blood, bones, essence, qi, and spirit are the five sources of immortal cultivators. Once the five declines of heaven and man arrive, these five sources will simultaneously Exhausted, the immortal cultivator will experience endless pain in an extreme time.

This kind of torture is even far beyond the pain of refining the soul.

Therefore, immortal cultivators would rather sit down before the five declines of heaven and man come, and they are absolutely unwilling to experience it for themselves.

Xiao Lin did not expect that Xue Lingshan had already stagnated in the late stage of refining the void for 9000 years, that is to say, in at most another 900 years, her lifespan would be exhausted, and in these hundreds of years, it was inevitable that she would be shocked If she is at the peak of refining, otherwise, once her life energy is exhausted, even if it is close to exhaustion, her immortal path will be cut off.

Xue Lingshan didn't know that it took Xiao Lin more than a thousand years to cultivate from the late stage of God Transformation to the current late stage of Void Refining. This speed is already shocking. Of course, the main reason is Xiao Lin's spiritual wood With the help of space, with the help of a large number of spiritual pills, it is possible to advance so quickly.

Of course, there is also the heaven-defying technique of the Mandating Heaven Sutra, which can strengthen Xiao Lin's spiritual realm, otherwise he would not be able to advance to the late stage of refining the void so quickly.

Naturally, Xiao Lin would not reveal his secrets, and he was very saddened to hear Xue Lingshan's words. What happened to Xue Lingshan was actually what most cultivators of immortals would have to face.

The road of cultivating immortals is a road of no return. This road is full of bones, and the further you go, the fewer the number.

This is why the number of monks in the Void Refining Stage is relatively large in the spirit world. The middle and high level of some sects are also in the realm of the Void Refining Stage, but the number of monks in the Composite Body Stage has dropped sharply, let alone Transcending Tribulation And the top-level monks in the Mahayana period are even rarer.

"Xue Xianzi is not an alchemist?" Xiao Lin suddenly saw that although Xue Lingshan was also wearing Xiaodanshan's inner sect elder costume, but there was no alchemy mark on her chest, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and asked road.

"Hehe, Brother Xiao finally found out that Lingshan is also an alternative to Xiaodanshan. Lingshan is not good at alchemy, but likes to study formations. Many of the prohibition formations in Xiaodanshan are from Lingshan Wuling Island, where Lingshan is located, can also be regarded as the Artifact Refining Workshop of Xiaodan Mountain, and most of the instruments driven by disciples in the sect come from Wuling Island."

"Oh? It seems that Fairy Xue is not only good at formations, but also has a deep knowledge of refining weapons, which really makes Xiao admire." Hearing this, Xiao Lin also looked at Xue Lingshan with admiration.

"Brother Xiao, there is no need to be envious. Lingshan's realm has been stagnant for too long, and she can only pass the time through these side skills. It can't be said that she has profound attainments. Brother Xiao, look, this is the [You Dan Building] built by our Xiaodan Mountain. Yes, every time before the Gudan Conference starts, we will take out some high-quality elixirs refined by our Xiaodanzong and sell them in Youdan Building, and the price will be discounted by [-]%, which can be regarded as a kind of benefit for fellow participants in the Gudan Conference. If brother Xiao is interested, don't miss it."

"There are still such good things." Xiao Lin smiled slightly, and continued: "Xiao will go to see it later."

"The high-quality spirit pills released by our Little Pill Sect are generally fourth- and fifth-tier, and the number of sixth-tier is not much, and once they appear, they are basically sold out. If Brother Xiao wants to buy them, you need some. What about luck, and with your and my current state, ordinary sixth-order spirit pills have little effect, unless it is a seventh-order spirit pill or a superior sixth-order spirit pill, which may be able to increase some cultivation."

After saying this, Xue Lingshan showed a hesitant expression on her face, as if hesitating to speak.

Xiao Lin looked a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Is Xue Xianzi going to say something? But it doesn't matter."

There was some hesitation on Xue Lingshan's pretty face, and after a while, she said, "Brother Xiao has cultivated some kind of cold flame supernatural power?"

Xiao Lin suddenly showed a surprised expression. He cultivated Yugui Ice Flame, but he didn't use it in front of Xue Lingshan. I don't know how she knew.

But Xiao Lin did not hide it, but nodded his head and said: "Due to the practice of cultivation techniques, Xiao Lin has indeed cultivated the cold flame supernatural power, but I don't know if the fairy asks this question, does it have a purpose?"

When Xue Lingshan heard this, a joyful expression appeared on her pretty face.

"Lingshan wants to ask Brother Xiao for help with something. Of course, Brother Xiao will never be busy in vain. As long as Brother Xiao agrees to help, Lingshan will definitely thank you."

Before Xiao Lin could ask, Xue Lingshan continued: "After the Gudan Conference is over, please ask Brother Xiao to move to Wuling Island. How about we talk about it in detail?"

Although Xiao Lin had doubts in his heart, but Xue Lingshan said so, he was not in a hurry to ask, so he nodded.

"Alright, since Fairy Xue has invited you, Xiao will certainly bother you."

Xue Lingshan gave Xiao Lin the impression that she was simple and kind, and her expression obviously wanted something from him, so it was inconvenient to refuse immediately.

Moreover, being able to participate in the Gudan Conference this time is also because Xue Lingshan bestowed upon her the Little Danshan Keqing Elder Token.

"Thank you Brother Xiao for your trust." Xue Lingshan was overjoyed to hear that Xiao Lin agreed to her invitation, and thanked her repeatedly.

"Xue Xianzi is being polite."

After the two chatted for a while, suddenly there was a quaint bell ringing in the valley. Only then did Xiao Lin notice that there was a huge attic on the hillside of Xiaodan Mountain, and a copper bell hung in the attic. The sound is coming from it.

"The Gudan Conference has started, let's go and sit down." Xue Lingshan said with a smile.

Xiao Lin nodded, and followed Xue Lingshan to the center of the valley. Under Xue Lingshan's guidance, he walked to a futon and sat down cross-legged.

At this time, the valley was full of people, but there were only dozens of people who were eligible to sit on the futons. These dozens of people were all in the realm of refining the void, and Xiao Lin also saw three people sitting cross-legged in the front row. An old man, the aura emanating from these three old men was as deep as the sea, even Xiao Lin couldn't see the realm of the three of them.

"Are these three people are monks in the integration stage?"

Xiao Lin was startled, he didn't expect that there would be monks in the fusion period coming to participate in the Gudan Conference.

"The three of them are all overseas casual cultivators. Among them, the old man with white hair and childlike face is named Pengkun Patriarch, who lives in Pengkun Ling Island. The other two are a pair of brothers. One is blind and the other is deaf. As the second ancestor of heaven and earth, among them, the deaf have practiced the divine light of Tianmu, and the disabled have cultivated the supernatural power of hearing."

After a pause, Xue Lingshan's voice continued: "These three elders can be regarded as well-known figures in this desolate sea. They are all in the early stage of fusion, and they are all obsessed with alchemy. They are all purple-rank alchemists. Compared to Elder Gongsun, they are still inferior, so every once in a while, they will come to listen to Elder Gongsun's talk about alchemy, and after the meeting, they will go to Elder Gongsun's cave to discuss and learn from each other."

"I see."

Xiao Lin was amazed in his heart, the size of the world is really full of wonders, the second patriarch of that day, one was blind and the other was deaf, but the blind one practiced the supernatural power of heavenly hearing, and the deaf one also practiced supernatural power of celestial eye, which really surprised him feeling suprised.

In addition to these three monks at the combined body stage, there are dozens of monks at the refining stage, and there are hundreds of other monks who are transformed into gods and nascent souls.

Xiao Lin had never seen so many mid-level and high-level monks gathered together, and he was secretly amazed.

He thought that when he was in the Mortal Realm, it would be impossible for the high-ranking monks from the entire Mortal Realm to gather together as many as in this valley.

At this time, the whole valley suddenly became silent.

Xiao Lin raised his eyes and saw Elder Gongsun walking slowly to the front futon. He first bowed to the people below and then slowly sat down on the futon.

"The way of alchemy is to take advantage of the good fortune of heaven and earth, gather spirits in medicine, and condense them into pills. The lower way of alchemy, the way of gathering energy to accumulate spirits, the way of middle way of alchemy, the inner space of spiritual mystery, and the aura of heaven and earth, filling oneself, the superior way The Dao of Alchemy, which contains the power of the laws of heaven and earth, forms its own Dao pattern, which is also Dao Dan."

After Elder Gongsun took his seat, he began to talk directly.

When Xiao Lin heard this, his expression immediately became serious. Elder Gongsun's narration of alchemy was startling at the beginning, dividing alchemy into three categories: upper, middle and lower. As an alchemist, Xiao Lin also Naturally understand the mystery.

The way of the pill, the lower one gathers spirits, the middle one controls the sky, and the upper one accumulates the way.

With Xiao Lin's current alchemy ability, he can barely reach the middle.
