Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 59: Breakthrough Pill
The Green Snake Gu is a top-grade poisonous insect of the first grade. Its toxicity is strong enough to terrify any cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

Even with protective spells, it is difficult to resist the erosion and destruction of the green snake poison.

Not only that, the Green Snake Gu can also release a large amount of poisonous fog. Although this poisonous fog is not as toxic as the Green Snake Gu itself, it has a unique effect.

It can not only block the enemy's vision and change the surrounding environment, but also quietly invade the enemy's meridians and corrode their flesh and blood.

As time went on, even monks with profound magical powers would find it difficult to resist the spread of the horrific toxicity of this poisonous fog.

What's more crucial is that poisonous insects, especially those refined artificially, are different from ordinary spiritual beasts. They have almost no intelligence and only react instinctively.

Moreover, the feeding consumption of the poisonous insect is far less than that of spiritual beasts of the same level. Generally speaking, only magic power is needed to maintain its survival.

Even if they are not fed for a long time, the poisonous insects can often survive for a period of time.
In addition, the lifespan of the poisonous insect is also quite long, often two to three times that of a cultivator of the same level.

It is the most useful tool.

After putting away the Green Snake Gu, Ji Chang couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence in his heart.

With this Green Snake Gu as his trump card, even if he encounters a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, he has the confidence that he can compete with him or even kill him.

……

Time flies, and half a year passes in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Master Mo Dan broke out of seclusion, and Ji Chang naturally went to pay a visit to him.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, onto the bluestone paths and quaint courtyards, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this quiet place.

Master Mo Dan was sitting beside the stone table in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and with a faint smile on his face, as if he had gained something from this retreat.

Ji Chang walked along the path, and when he came in front of Master Mo Dan, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master."

"Well, get up." Master Mo Dan put down the teacup in his hand and nodded. "How have you been in the past six months?"

"Disciple has been practicing and refining pills according to your instructions, and dare not slack off in the slightest." Ji Chang replied respectfully.

"Oh? Then let me test you."

As Master Mo Dan finished his words, he waved his hand lightly, a ray of light flashed, and the black gold alchemy furnace appeared steadily in the courtyard.

He casually used his object control skills to take a few spiritual herbs from a small spiritual field in the courtyard and placed them next to the alchemy furnace.

Then, he looked at Ji Chang and said calmly, "Refine a furnace of Qi-boosting pills and let me see your progress in the past six months."

Ji Chang's mind moved. The Qi-replenishing Pill is a first-grade low-grade pill that can restore the mana of a cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refining.

He took a deep breath, walked to the alchemy furnace, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the alchemy by clasping his hands together and activating his magic power.

With the continuous input of magic power and the gradual melting of the elixir, a faint medicinal fragrance began to emanate from the alchemy furnace.

Ji Chang concentrated on controlling the temperature and the output of magic power. His movements were skillful and smooth, as if every detail had been carefully carved and polished.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, at a certain moment, a crisp sound came from the alchemy furnace.

Immediately afterwards, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into my nose, refreshing my heart.

Ji Chang loosened his hands, smiled lightly, then raised his hand and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.

I saw nine round Qi-replenishing pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace, each of them emitting an attractive luster.

"Not bad." Master Mo looked at the Qi-boosting pills that Ji Chang had made and nodded with satisfaction. An expression of approval appeared on his face. "You have really not wasted the past six months. Your alchemy skills have made great progress."

Afterwards, Master Mo Dan answered some of Ji Chang's questions about alchemy and cultivation.

After the last question was answered, Ji Chang took out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Master Mo Dan.

"Master, the Chen family wants you to refine a Cocoon-Transforming Pill during this period." "Cocoon-Transforming Pill?" Master Mo was slightly stunned, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that the kid Chen Yinghu is about to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining."

He sighed, took the storage bag and opened it. Inside was various rare elixirs needed to refine the Cocoon-Transforming Pill, as well as the reward for his help.

Master Mo Dan nodded with satisfaction and put away the storage bag.

Half a month later, Ji Chang came to Lingquan Pavilion again.

As soon as Ji Chang entered the room, Chen Yinghu came up to him impatiently and asked expectantly, "Fellow Daoist Ji, have you finished refining the elixir?"

His voice revealed a hint of eagerness and desire, as if the wait of more than half a year had made him unable to hold back any longer.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Ji Chang smiled when he heard this, raised his hand and took out an exquisite jade bottle from the storage bag, placed it gently on the table, and then pushed it in front of Chen Yinghu.

Chen Yinghu's eyes were fixed on the jade bottle, and his breathing seemed to become rapid.

He picked up the jade bottle carefully and slowly opened the cap.

A faint fragrance wafted into the air and instantly filled the entire room.

Chen Yinghu took a closer look and saw a flawless white pill lying in the jade bottle. The pill emitted a faint luster and was exactly the first-grade top-grade pill, the Cocoon Pill.

In an instant, Chen Yinghu's eyes lit up, and an expression of joy that was hard to conceal appeared on his face.

With this Cocoon-Transforming Pill, he can try to break through the bottleneck. Even if he fails to break through the bottleneck directly and advance to the late stage of Qi Refining, he can save himself several years of hard training.

You know, he is only thirty years old now.

A cultivator in his thirties in the late Qi Refining stage would certainly be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as long as he had the method to establish the Foundation.

Chen Yinghu couldn't contain his inner excitement. He raised his hand and took out a jar of spirit wine from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

Then he clapped his hands, and two female cultivators with outstanding looks and graceful figures walked into the room.

The dresses they wore were thin as cicada wings and brightly colored. They swayed gently with their light steps, which was quite alluring.

The faces of the female monks were filled with charming smiles, and their eyes were bright and charming, and their glances seemed to be able to capture people's souls.

Their arrival added a charming atmosphere to the room.

"Friend Ji, today you and I must have a drink to celebrate the success of this elixir."

Chen Yinghu laughed loudly and motioned for two female cultivators to come forward and pour wine.

Two female monks walked slowly to the table, opened the wine jug, and slowly poured the amber-colored wine into the cup.

Suddenly, a refreshing aroma of wine spread out and filled the entire room.

Chen Yinghu picked up the wine glass, gestured to Ji Chang, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Chang also picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The spiritual wine went down his throat, with a mellow and sweet taste, and turned into a warm current that instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones, nourishing his meridians and dantian.

"Good wine!" Ji Chang exclaimed sincerely.

With his knowledge, he could naturally taste the extraordinary nature of this wine. This wine should be a first-grade mid-quality spiritual wine, far superior to the spiritual wine sold in Lingquan Pavilion. It was obviously a fine wine collected by Chen Yinghu.

The two female practitioners snuggled up to the two men, and were held in their arms.

They smiled sweetly, poured wine and served food to the two men, and occasionally laughed and chatted, making the atmosphere in the room even more warm and cheerful.
