Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 179: Life Golden Pill
Besa's methods were quite ruthless. The heads of the Tianci people rolled down, and there was a lot of cheers on the virtual network.

This was a baptism from the Federation, which wiped out many of the chronic diseases on Tianci Star, but the disadvantages it brought were equally obvious.

The situation began to become chaotic, a large amount of supplies and armaments poured into the army, prices began to soar, and the lives of the lower class people did not change at all, and even became more difficult.

Chu Zheng roughly browsed through some of the information and destroyed the intelligent optical computer directly.

He didn't intend to have anything to do with the Tianyao Federation anymore. After entering the universe, this thing would be of no use to him.

The genetic evolution potion that Besa gave him was quite rare, and in terms of value, it was not as valuable as the gift given by Su Huafeng.

Nie Longhu didn't care about these things. He just found a life star and extracted some star source liquid, which would be enough for him and Chu Zheng to practice for a long time.

Chu Zheng pulled out a nearby star map, tilted his head to look at Nie Longhu, and asked him to point out the direction:
"Fellow Daoist Nie, where are we going next?"

Nie Longhu looked at the starlight surging around him, and after some calculations, he immediately pointed out the direction.

Chu Zheng looked at the radar and roughly determined that this direction was gradually moving away from the Tianyao Federation.

In the universe, everything is upside down, east and west, north and south are indistinguishable, up and down, left and right are difficult to tell. Even with a star map, Chu Zheng can only make a rough idea of ​​it.

He had previously collected some information about the battle in the Tianyao Federation, but its exact location was top secret in the Federation and he had no way of knowing it. Now he could only take it one step at a time, which was safer than staying in the Tianyao Federation.

After setting the destination, the huge warship slowly sailed into the cold universe, heading towards the unknown life star.

…………

…………

Sailing between the stars is dull and tedious.

It takes a huge amount of energy for a warship to make a space jump, and each jump requires a long time to replenish.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed.

During the past two years, Chu Zheng and Nie Longhu could only rely on the genetic evolution fluid in the warship to practice. The efficiency of practice was very low, and most of the evolution fluid entered Chu Zheng's body.

Inside the main cabin, a simple metal square pool was temporarily transformed, which was mixed with a large amount of genetic evolution liquid, rippling with microwaves and glowing with spiritual light.

Chu Zheng sat cross-legged with his upper body naked in the evolutionary liquid, circulating his Qi in his body and slowly absorbing the energy from it.

In two years, even in a harsh environment, his cultivation had already reached perfection in the Daotai realm, and now he could finally begin to try to condense his natal golden elixir.

This was his first attempt to condense the golden elixir. He had never thought before that it was his incarnation used to experience tribulations that had reached this realm first.

The Dao Embryo in Dantian has contained the Yuan Qi which has approached the critical point. The Yuan Qi is as viscous as nectar, and the Dao Embryo is perfect. In some Taoist sects that practice inner alchemy, it is also called 'condensed liquid'.

Chu Zheng did not hesitate and immediately began to compress the Daotai, further squeezing the Yuanqi inside it. The barriers of the Daotai gradually gathered and closed.

Nie Longhu, who was not far away, sensed the fluctuation of breath, opened his eyes, and could not hide his surprise on his face.

So fast?
He always felt that Chu Zheng's cultivation speed was a bit exaggerated. When they first met, Chu Zheng's cultivation was similar to his. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and he has only just managed to condense the Dao Embryo, while Chu Zheng has already begun to try to condense the Golden Elixir.

It is incredible that in such a place where the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth is scarce, one can still reach such an evolutionary level.

He watched Chu Zheng's cultivation improve day by day. It couldn't be faked. He was making steady progress and there wasn't any problem with it.

This undoubtedly made people even more puzzled. This speed represented Chu Zheng's aptitude. It was definitely impossible that it took him more than two hours to draw the Qi into his body as he said at the beginning.

Looking at Chu Zheng who was practicing with his eyes closed, Nie Longhu subconsciously stroked his beard, but found nothing. He couldn't help but frown and think for a moment.

At this moment, Chu Zheng had no time to care about anything else. In his Dantian, the Dao fetus that was originally open had now completely gathered together and turned into an irregular gray sphere with sharp edges and corners.

Gold is hard and indestructible, and lasts forever over the years. Elixir is round, flawless, bright and pure.

The golden elixir combines the best of both, but its appearance is still far from being the real golden elixir.

The Yuan Qi was completely isolated by the Daotai barrier. Chu Zheng was unable to use any of his own energy. At this moment, he could only polish this "golden elixir" by absorbing energy from the outside world.

He absorbed the powerful energy of the evolutionary fluid into his body and condensed it into extremely rough sandpaper, which he used to polish the golden elixir.

This is a very slow and laborious process, and is extremely time-consuming.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

During this period of time, Nie Longhu did not practice anymore, but kept a close eye on Chu Zheng, helping him replenish the lost evolutionary fluid from time to time.

He had vaguely sensed something unusual. The process of Chu Zheng condensing the golden elixir seemed too unfamiliar, as if it was the first time in his life that he condensed the golden elixir.

Chu Zheng’s true cultivation level was probably much lower than he had expected.

After continuous polishing, the golden elixir in Chu Zheng's dantian gradually took shape and became round and flawless.

Crack—the next moment, a ray of golden divine light suddenly bloomed above the gray golden elixir, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Soon, under the polishing of pieces, the golden elixir was completely free of dust and emitted an extremely dazzling golden light.

Chu Zheng has become more cautious, and this step is the top priority.

Although the golden elixir has taken shape now, it is still a dead object, and he is still unable to use any of the Yuan Qi in it.

The golden elixir needs to be 'opened'.

The breakthrough is far from over. Only when the spiritual orifice is opened and the Yuan Qi can flow freely can it be considered a complete success.

In the blink of an eye, it's January again.

puff--

A muffled sound came from the golden elixir, and the tiny spiritual orifice was opened. A divine liquid soaked in golden light slowly flowed out from the spiritual orifice like a trickling stream.

The moment his spiritual orifice opened, an unprecedented feeling of fullness and refreshment flooded into Chu Zheng's mind.

The energy purity of the condensed golden elixir liquid is astonishingly high. Even though it has not yet completely broken through, the combat power that Chu Zheng can exert at this moment has at least increased tenfold.

In the next two months, his spiritual orifices opened one after another, until six spiritual orifices were opened, and then Chu Zheng felt the end.

After calming down his breath, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and immediately thanked him:
"Thank you, Brother Daoist Nie, for protecting me."

Without Nie Longhu watching over him, this breakthrough would not have been so smooth.

"It's just a small favor, why should I thank you?"

Nie Longhu shook his head and asked casually, "How many golden elixirs have you condensed, fellow Daoist?"

Chu Zheng opened his mouth, and the golden elixir flew out of his throat and fell into his palm. A thick tide of energy surged from the evolutionary fluid on his side and was swallowed and refined by the spiritual orifice in an instant.

"It's above average quality. Daoist friend, you are lucky. It seems that this incarnation of a calamity has decent aptitude."

Nie Longhu took a glance, nodded slightly, and expressed his congratulations.

The moment he saw the golden elixir, he was completely certain of his previous guess that Chu Zheng's true cultivation level was definitely not at the golden elixir level.

He could have completed a golden elixir of above-average quality in a month at most, but Chu Zheng took nearly half a year and was obviously very unfamiliar with it.

Golden elixirs are also divided into different grades. The difference in comprehension is difficult to test directly in the early stages of Qi refining. Only when the golden elixir is reached will there be a more intuitive manifestation of talent.

The more spiritual orifices one has, the stronger the Qi that can be released in an instant will be, which means the stronger the combat power will naturally be and the higher the talent will be.

From one to three orifices are all of inferior quality, from four to six spiritual orifices are called middle quality, and from six to nine orifices are of superior quality.

The Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir is rare in the world. Even if one's comprehension is slightly poor, there is still a chance to become a Golden Immortal.

The middle-grade golden elixir condensed by Chu Zheng will not encounter any hindrance in his cultivation before he reaches the stage of returning to the void and merging with the Tao. When he reaches the stage of returning to the void, the quality of his natal golden elixir will gradually begin to limit the speed of his cultivation.

Because the speed of absorbing and releasing Yuan Qi will gradually fail to keep up with the progress of cultivation.

Nie Longhu's eyes were solemn. Before he reached the Golden Core Stage, he had already come into contact with the method of incarnation and experiencing tribulations.

The information revealed here is really terrifying.

In his opinion, this was something that was simply impossible to do, but Chu Zheng actually did it, which was incredible.

Chu Zheng took the golden elixir back to his dantian. He didn’t care about the quality of the golden elixir. His gains from this incarnation and tribulation were already great enough.

The original body's cultivation has not yet reached this level, but the incarnation that has experienced tribulations has reached this realm first.

After this experience, the condensation of the golden elixir in his body will be smoother and there will not be any sense of sluggishness.

At this moment, he has begun to look forward to condensing a few golden elixirs when his body breaks through.

His own foundation is much higher than that of this incarnation, so I think he will be able to give him a surprise.

"Coming."

Chu Zheng glanced at the star map, then suddenly stood up, his eyes moving slightly.

A small star with a diameter of less than 20,000 miles appeared in his eyes, and the terrain on it could be vaguely seen.

This voyage, which lasted nearly three years, is finally coming to an end.
