Taihao Gold Medal

Chapter 449 Four Spirits Symbiosis, Promoted to Golden Elixir

"Jiehuo is clear and quiet, keeps the breath and adjusts the breath, does not deceive his heart, all gods gather together, does not shake his essence, can't think inside, can't think outside, three flowers gather at the top, five qi return to the root, return to purple and embrace yellow, empty The room gives birth to whiteness. Entering is the Tao, leaving is the Dharma. The Tao and the Dharma do not exist, but the emptiness exists. When one thought arrives, all spirits will be cursed..."

As Zhang Lie recited the mantra, the magic weapon gourd floating in the void beside him produced a force of absorption, absorbing the dying dark red fire spirit on the ground into it.

After finishing all this, Zhang Lie also let out a long sigh of relief.

With this fire spirit, the patriarch's four-spirit symbiosis supernatural power can be cultivated.

At this moment, a huge sword mark appeared in this volcanic area, going deep into the earth, so that volcanic magma gushed out like blood from the ground.

Booming and gushing, high temperature and blazing.

Zhang Lie and the real Huazheng who flew over looked down at the place, observed for a period of time, and left after making sure that the ground fire would not erupt in a large area.

"The ten-thousand-year fire spirit keeps gathering the earth's fire veins. It's good to be cut off by Yuan Lie with this sword. Venting the earth fire that has gathered during this period is like cutting open a pus wound to release poisonous blood. Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." For the next period of time, you will stay temporarily in Chiding Mountain, and I will teach you some alchemy techniques that I am good at. The inner and outer alchemy techniques are connected with each other, and I believe it will be beneficial to you."

Hearing this, Zhang Lie knew that Master Huazheng had entrusted Chiding Mountain Taoism intentionally.

Thinking about it in my heart, I can pass the letter with flying swords, so that the patriarch is ready to be promoted and adjust his status, so Zhang Lie nodded in response:
"If that's the case, let's bother Master Huazheng."

"Well, I didn't have any outstanding disciples in my life. Yuan Lie, you sealed the fire spirit and made such a great achievement, how could I let you go away empty-handed."

Inner alchemy refers to the way of golden elixir cultivated by monks, while outer alchemy refers to the technique of boiling stones and making pills.

But the two are mutually external and mutually reinforcing, and there are many reasons that can be interlinked.

Although the Chiding Sect has fallen, as the only orthodox inheritor of this sect, Master Huazheng still has a lot of knowledge. At his invitation, Zhang Lie temporarily stayed on the Chiding Mountain to learn the Chiding Dandao.

Chiding Mountain, in the Baiyun Temple where the real Huazheng lived.

Master Huazheng took out two volumes of ancient Taoist scriptures and handed them over to Zhang Lie.

"The so-called orthodox Taoism has a characteristic. The more one's mana is cultivated to the later stage, the faster the accumulation of spiritual mana will be."

"In my early years, I had dual spiritual roots, and I had the alchemy and Taoism, so I was proud of my talents. In the end, I had an adventure and cultivated the alchemy, but I only got the fifth-grade Wuxintonghua pill. Hundreds of years later, every time I think about it, I regret it. It can only be that Dan Cheng has no regrets."

The real person Huazheng shared his regrets in his early years, hoping that Zhang Lie could learn from them.

A low-grade pill, a middle-grade pill, and a high-grade pill are all essentially cultivation of alchemy. No matter the ninth grade or the first grade, they can all live for eight hundred years.

In his early years, Master Huazheng had outstanding aptitude for cultivating Taoism, but after establishing his foundation, he had a great chance and encountered a seriously injured demon snake.

Slay the demon snake, take the essence of inner alchemy and outer alchemy, refine it, make it into a elixir, and take it, it can directly condense the elixir, saving a hundred years of hard work.

Hundreds of years ago, Master Huazheng couldn't resist the temptation and chose this shortcut to practice.

But after cultivating the Wuxin Tonghua Pill, Dancheng has no regrets. At that time, even if she had the Chidingmen's orthodoxy in her hands, she could no longer practice the righteous magic skills.

Therefore, in the following hundreds of years, I regretted it.

In contrast, Zhang Lie's dao foundation is nothing but the purest Taoism orthodox testimonies.

He began to practice Qi at the age of six, completed the foundation building at the age of 28, opened up the Purple Mansion at the age of 76, cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of the Purple Mansion at the age of 140, and promoted to the Golden Core Realm at the age of 190 to become the Dharma Body of the Son of Heaven.

Now at the age of 240, he is already at the sixth level of Jindan. Although there is an opportunity to encounter epiphany, it is more because of the profound foundation of Taoism, and the faster the cultivation of mana in the later stage.

It's not that the cultivation speed of Jindan's mana is faster than that of Zifu's mana, but that the speed of mana cultivation in the Jindan Nascent Soul realm is far faster than the normal Jindan Yuanying realm's mana cultivation speed, relatively faster and faster.

There are many masters of alchemy in this world, who spend hundreds of years in practice, and in the end they are only four or five levels, seven or eight levels of alchemy, and it is difficult to break through.

As for the monks of the second rank, or even the first rank of the golden elixir, even if they do not rely on the technique of the outer elixir, but rely solely on their own breathing and accumulation of mana, they still have the opportunity to hit the realm of the Nascent Soul Dao.

True person Huazheng has the ancient orthodox inheritance of the Chidingmen, but she is a fifth-rank Yuandan, so she can't practice at all. Even after the beginner's approach, she can't do many details of the cultivation of spiritual consciousness and mana in the later stage.

But at this time, she handed over these alchemy scriptures to Zhang Lie. Although there are many incomplete systems in it, it is not a problem for Zhang Lie at all.

With the help of these brilliant orthodoxy, he deduces and verifies the content of the Taihao Gold Medal, which describes the profound relationship between the monarch and his ministers, interdependence, and compares the inner and outer alchemy key points that he already knows, and immediately benefits a lot .

For a while, Zhang Lie was a little obsessed with it.

As for the Red Cauldron Sect, Zhang Lie lives on this mountain, exhales and trains Qi, even if he does nothing else, the existence and presence of such a great master is very important to the surrounding monks and sects. It was a huge deterrent—the Wannian Fire Spirit was suppressed by this man, and the status of Chidingmen's sect in this area rose sharply because of this.

And this is what Master Huazheng wants to see. On the one hand, he will get a strong support for the Zongmen, and on the other hand, he will also do something for the Zongmen's inheritance.

Many old devil masters in the casual cultivators outside the mountain were not in Zhang Lie's eyes, but they were enemies that made Hua Zheng a headache. After this incident, those casual cultivators also died down.

After half a year, although I was still quite reluctant to give up, but considering the protection of the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen's practice of golden elixir.

Zhang Lie bid farewell to Master Huazheng of Chidingmen and returned two volumes of alchemy.

In the early morning, it was still inside the Baiyun Temple on the back mountain.

Master Huazheng looked at the two volumes of sect inheritance classics handed to him, and said with a little sentimentality:
"No need, take these two Daoist books back home and study them. They are far more valuable in your hands than in mine."

"In the future, if there are outstanding juniors from the Chiding Sect, I will send them to your sect to study and improve. This can be regarded as the end of today's fate."

"In that case, this junior obeys."

Hearing what Master Huazheng said, Zhang Lie didn't continue to refuse. In the future, when monks from the Chiding lineage come to study, it's just a matter of self-teaching. This is the best reward.

On that day, the young Taoist left with his sword turned into a rainbow.

In the Chiding Mountain below, Immortal Huazheng stood among the clouds and mist, looking into the distance for a long time:

"My path has come to an end, but the path of these young people has just begun. Really, it is enviable."

……

Two years later, the Zhang family in Chiyang Valley.

The entire Zhang family was on alert, with Huangshan as the center of the mountain closed for hundreds of miles, and in the sky, there were monks from the Zhang family patrolling with swords everywhere.

Unlike many families and sects, the senior monks in the sect are promoted secretly, and only after the promotion is successful, will they announce the invitation to the world.

On the one hand, doing so is to guard against foreign enemies, on the other hand, monks are envied by the world, and the possibility of failure is higher than the possibility of success, so it is kept secret.

However, the Zhang family is different, and Zhang Xiangshen is different.

It can be said that the patriarch Zhang Xiangshen has devoted his whole life to this family, and he has devoted all his energy to it. The family is the source of his strength, so after Zhang Xiangshen is ready to hit the golden core realm, Zhang Lie will send [-] monks in the family, eight Ten people from Zhuji, five from Zifu, themselves, and Master Xiaoshan Zhenjun, all invited to come:

"Patriarch, your life's hard work has not been in vain. Take a look at my Zhang family, how prosperous it is!"

Zhang Xiangshen attacked the golden core realm, suppressed thousands of miles, and all living beings remained silent. Zhang Lie sat in the mountain to protect the dharma, with a flying sword horizontally in front of his knees. He wanted to see who would dare to interfere with the patriarch's breakthrough in cultivation.

"Yuan Lie is too domineering in this matter, but I know that he is for me, suppressing thousands of miles, and all living beings stop talking."

After looking at the situation outside through the sky-watching mirror.

Although Zhang Xiangshen didn't quite agree with Zhang Lie's behavior style, he was moved by the vast array of nets arranged around Huangshan as the center.

Taking advantage of this heartfelt thought, Zhang Xiangshen came to the futon of the cave mansion and sat upright with his eyes closed, breathing out and condensing his energy.

Gradually, a spiritual vortex gradually appeared in the sky outside the cave.

Zhang Xiangshen was so focused on retreating, he didn't know that the alchemy phenomenon outside had gradually formed, and there was a lot of movement. A bottomless abyss that swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had formed in his body.

Zhang Xiangshen's mana is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm, and in the process of transforming his alchemy, his demand for the aura of heaven and earth is also stronger.

The aura vortex formed by an ordinary Jindan stage monk forming a pill is less than ten miles in radius, but Zhang Xiangshen swallows the aura of heaven and earth like a long whale absorbing water, and the aura vortex formed reaches a radius of tens of miles.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy was born out of thin air and soared into the sky. However, the monks of the Zhang family had long been prepared and kept investing a large amount of spiritual stones in the spiritual apertures of various areas, regardless of the cost or price.

This is the ancestor of the Zhang family cultivating golden elixir. Anyone who dares to secretly leave a half piece of spiritual stone at this time is a felony that will implicate the lives of his whole family.

"It's such a big scene, the four spirits live together, devouring the sky and the earth! But Yuan Lie, in the end you captured the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit for Xiangshen, it's still too radical, even if it's just a mid-to-late Jindan monster, it's enough Use it, once the phase god has cultivated the symbiosis of four spirits, his mana is several times that of a monk of the same level, and when he makes a full-strength attack, the symbiosis of four spirits, with the help of three monsters at the Golden Core level, is already a very powerful miraculous skill Absolutely brilliant."

Whether it is the symbiosis of two spirits, the symbiosis of three spirits, or the symbiosis of four spirits, the sealed monster can be raised to the same level as a monk.

Therefore, from Xiao Shan's point of view, the mid-to-late stage monsters of Jindan are enough. Zhang Liegan took the risk to seal a sixth-level monster king and returned. From Xiao Shan's point of view, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.

"No, the patriarch has an arrogant personality. He will definitely choose the strongest path. If I capture a golden core monster casually, it will definitely be difficult to arouse the patriarch's fighting spirit. If I practice the golden core road, my heart will not be able to rise to the peak, which will cause far-reaching harm. .”

Zhang Lie said with the flying sword horizontally in front of his knees, his eyes slightly closed.

"Hey, cultivating the Dao is an extremely objective thing. If you only think about fighting spirit and anger, these illusory things will lower his chances of refining the golden elixir."

True Monarch Xiao Shan didn't have a deep friendship with Zhang Xiangshen, in his opinion, if Zhang Xiangshen failed, it would be a good thing instead, it would frustrate his disciple's spirit.

The strong are easily broken, and the strong are humiliated. This proud disciple of himself has been deeply influenced by the inheritance of the ancient sword cultivator.

But the sword is only a means to protect the Tao after all, not the foundation of Taoism.

Although the ancient sword cultivator in this world is strong, isn't it also declining in the end?

It can be seen that it is not the blessing of heaven.

Time passed day after day, and in the blink of an eye, seven days later, all the mana in Zhang Xiangshen's body had been transformed into elixir qi and true essence, and he was constantly trying to solidify it to completely condense the golden elixir.

Zhang Xiangshen practiced the method of life-ending success. After the peak monks of the Zifu's life was short, he condensed the golden elixir in the extreme state of his own life and death, and completed the life-long elixir at the moment when his life was about to die.Reminiscing like the fire and phoenix nirvana, the danger is dangerous.

However, once it succeeds, it will be like a dry well with waves rising out of control. Because the hole penetrates yin and yang, this type of cultivator often has a profound Taoist foundation and terrifying supernatural powers.

This method was not created by Zhenjun Xiaoshan, it has existed since ancient times, but there are very few people who can succeed in cultivation and practice according to the method.

The vast majority of monks, at the end of their lives, simply can't gather enough spiritual consciousness and mana to go to the ultimate realm again.

Inside the cave house in the deep mountain.

Zhang Xiangshen's head is full of withered, white and messy hair, and his originally majestic body is crumbling at this moment, but flames are burning in his pupils. On both sides of him, there are monster beasts, such as the monster He Luo. Phantoms of fish appeared, and they roared silently.

The aura on them is also constantly improving with the improvement of Zhang Xiangshen's realm.

In Zhang Xiangshen's mind, there was only one idea, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. He ingested the gourd beside him with a magic formula, smashed it with a wave of his hand, and blazing fire gushed out from it, flying quickly to the cave. outside.

In the vortex of spiritual energy, suddenly a group of fiery burning fire essence appeared, greedily devouring the vitality of heaven and earth gathered from all directions.

The Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit is in an extremely weak state at this moment. Zhang Lie's sword almost killed it before, and then it was suppressed for several years, without any vitality replenishment. At this moment, it can finally With a sigh of relief, he simply ignored it and swallowed it wantonly.

But its reaction, which was expected by Zhang Xiangshen, also led to a kind of connection between itself and Zhang Xiangshen.

"What is that, Heavenly Tribulation?"

"It's not like, it's really scary real fire."

Along with the whispered discussions of the surrounding monks, the Wannian Fire Spirit, who had just recovered a little vitality, found a huge suction force coming from below, and it seemed that he was about to suck himself into it.
