The Mortal's Path to Immortality

After being promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core, Cao Rui did not rush to start his retreat and practice immediately, but chose to adapt to the changes brought by the new realm.

He spent a few days adjusting his physical and mental state to better adapt himself to this stage of practice.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to make detailed arrangements for the next retreat.

First, Cao Rui made an important goal clear: to consume a large number of spiritual stones on his body and transform them into precious spiritual medicines.

His own cultivation was the most important, which should have been arranged immediately when the Lingyin Jade Pendant was obtained. During this period, he was busy with the matter of "Purifying the World", so it was delayed.

After some statistics, he found that he now had a total of 2.66 million low-grade spiritual stones on him.

According to common sense, these spiritual stones should be enough to successfully ripen 500 Foundation Building Pills and 500 Lingyun Shenghui Pills.

If there are any remaining spiritual stones, he can even try to ripen the more precious Leiyuan Jujin Pill.

In addition to dealing with spiritual stones and pills, Cao Rui also needs to continue to work hard to repair and crack the energy array core of the Tianji Fortress.

Only through this channel can he obtain the transmission coordinate information of other states, so as to change the original random transmission function of Tianji Fortress to directional transmission.

And arrange transmission points, spread the Lingyin Jade Pendant throughout the Xiuxian World, and completely let Qingqiong World break the blockade of the natural moat.

After sorting out his thoughts, Cao Rui carefully formulated a daily schedule.

Then he began to retreat.

The first thing to do is to ripen the spiritual medicine.

Inside the Tianji Fortress, Cao Rui sat on the futon. He waved his left hand gently, and took out the spiritual stones from the storage bag continuously, like running water, and kept putting them into the palm of the sky bottle.

If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely sigh at his wealth. I am afraid that few people in the entire Qingqiong World can do such a hand.

The spiritual medicine that Cao Rui chose to ripen first was the main medicine for refining Lingyun Shenghui Dan.

These spiritual medicines grow slowly and have extremely high requirements for the environment. They can only grow in specific places.

However, for Cao Rui, with the fourth-level top-level magic weapon, the Palm of Heaven Bottle, which imitates the innate spiritual treasure, everything becomes no longer difficult.

As long as there are enough spiritual stones as energy supply, the growth cycle of spiritual medicine can be greatly shortened.

At this time, the fourth-level magic weapon, the Palm of Heaven Bottle, is running at full capacity. It constantly converts the spiritual energy in the spiritual stones into a special ripening energy to accelerate the growth rate of spiritual medicine.

As time goes by, the vitality of the spiritual medicine becomes more and more vigorous and gradually matures.

However, because the growth cycle of Jindan period spiritual medicine is too long, even with the use of magic weapons such as the Palm of Heaven Bottle, it still takes a long time to ripen them.

After some attempts and calculations, Cao Rui found that it would take at least two months to fully ripen the spiritual medicine of this batch of Lingyun Shenghui Dan.

As for the number of spiritual stones required, it is an astronomical figure-300,000 spiritual stones!

However, this spiritual stone consumption is still much less than the consumption of directly purchasing its spiritual medicine.

Previously, Cao Rui purchased ten Lingyun Shenghui Pills from Yaowang Sect, and Cao Rui spent one thousand Lingshi for each one, assuming that he was still a guest elder.

And more importantly, Yaowang Sect itself was also short of Lingyun Shenghui Pills, and the purchase was limited to ten each year.

If he wanted to buy 500, even if he calculated it at the preferential price Cao Rui received as a guest elder, he would need 50 years and 500,000 Lingshi. It can be said that this ripening process made Cao Rui a lot of money.

Two months passed in a flash, and Cao Rui finally successfully ripened 500 Lingyun Shenghui Pills.

At the same time, during the ripening process, Cao Rui would also transform and decompose the array on the energy core ball of Tianji Fortress, and he had made one-tenth of the progress.

On this day, Cao Rui harvested the spiritual medicine of Lingyun Shenghui Pill.

And planted the spiritual medicine seeds of Leiyuan Jujin Pill into 500.

Leiyuan Jujin Pill is the key spiritual pill that can enable Lingshou Sect to truly enter the Qingqiong Realm Sect, and its spiritual medicine must be planted sooner or later.

"Next, it's time to refine the Lingyun Shenghui Pill."

Cao Rui took out the Purple Thunder Furnace and began to refine.

Previously, Cao Rui had refined ten Lingyun Shenghui Pills. Although he had not yet entered the entry level, his experience beads had been successfully condensed and he had a lot of experience points.

This time, Cao Rui refined ten Lingyun Shenghui Pills again and successfully promoted it to the entry level with experience beads.

After entering the entry level, Cao Rui had a 20% chance of refining Lingyun Shenghui Pills with the help of many parties.

Cao Rui succeeded once, but the pill yield rate was only six, far from the upper limit of ten.

However, every time the refining was successful, the experience points of the experience beads would increase greatly.

In this way, after thirty portions, Cao Rui had achieved a small success in refining Lingyun Shenghui Pills.

He spent another fifty portions and successfully cultivated Lingyun Shenghui Pills to a great success.

From great success to perfection, Cao Rui spent one hundred portions of Lingyun Shenghui Pills. At this time, Cao Rui was able to achieve a 100% success rate in refining, and the pill yield rate remained above ten, sometimes even reaching 11.

After practicing the Lingyun Shenghui Pill, a Jindan-stage elixir, to perfection, Cao Rui gained additional benefits.

When the experience beads were upgraded, a large amount of pharmacological knowledge emerged in his mind, which significantly improved his alchemy level.

For ordinary alchemists, these pharmacological knowledge may take decades to learn and understand, but through the experience of the experience beads, Cao Rui mastered it completely in just a few months.

This is one of the most powerful functions of the experience beads.

Every time Cao Rui is promoted through experience points, he can truly obtain valuable knowledge, rather than an empty level upgrade.

This is also the main reason why his alchemy and refining skills can reach an astonishing height so quickly, and he can make changes to the magic array independently.

After three months of hard work, Cao Rui successfully refined 500 Lingyun Shenghui Pills and obtained more than 4,000 pills in total.

After all the elixirs were refined, he began to take Lingyun Shenghui Pills to improve his cultivation realm.

In ancient times, Lingyun Shenghui Pills were elixirs for Jindan early cultivators, suitable for Jindan early and middle cultivators.

Previously, when Cao Rui added Lingyun Shenghui Pill elixir seeds, he had just entered the Jindan stage.

After that, under the influence of factors such as the gathering of the five elements of innate spiritual roots, Cao Rui's cultivation quickly increased to the fourth level of the Golden Core.

The growth rate of his cultivation exceeded the level of the spiritual medicine seeds Cao Rui prepared for himself.

However, even if there were more Lingyun Shenghui Pills, they could also fill the treasure house of the Spirit Beast Sect, so it was not a waste of the spiritual stones for ripening.

It can be predicted that the Spirit Beast Sect will inevitably produce a large number of Golden Cores in the future, and the spiritual medicines for cultivation in the Golden Core stage will only be lacking but not more.

Cao Rui took out a Lingyun Shenghui Pill from the storage bag and put it in his mouth, then operated the experience beads in his mind to absorb the medicinal power of the pill.

Buzz.

The experience beads quickly digested the medicinal power and converted it into experience points.

He closed his eyes, carefully felt the proportion of the increase in experience points, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

As he expected, this pill also had a good effect on improving the cultivation of the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Cao Rui calculated the number of elixirs needed to reach the maximum experience value, and took out all the remaining 799 Lingyun Shenghui pills without hesitation and swallowed them in one gulp.

He felt as if his body was hit by a powerful force, and his experience value was also increasing wildly.

After a while, the experience value was full.

Cao Rui clicked the experience bead without hesitation.

The purple torrent wrapped around his body, Cao Rui's mana increased by 30%, and his spiritual awareness increased by 200 miles to a terrifying 1,400 miles!

Cao Rui did not stop and continued to take Lingyun Shenghui pills.

After a little calculation this time, he directly swallowed 1,500 Lingyun Shenghui pills. As soon as the pills dissolved in his throat, they were absorbed by the experience bead, and Cao Rui's body did not need to bear the impact of the medicine.

The experience value of the experience pill increased faster than before.

It soon reached the maximum.

"Keep breaking it!" Cao Rui clicked the experience bead with his mind and successfully promoted to the sixth level of the golden elixir. His mana increased by 30% again, and his spiritual awareness reached 1,600 miles!

However, when he took Lingyun Shenghui Pill again, he found that the experience value increase of this pill for the promotion to the late Jindan was no longer as obvious as before.

It can be said that it has dropped significantly.

Lingyun Shenghui Pill has too limited effect for the later stage of cultivation.

It is a waste to take it.

So, Cao Rui decisively gave up taking Lingyun Shenghui Pill and decided to take the remaining Lingyun Shenghui Pill back to Lingshou Sect.

In this way, in just five months, Cao Rui not only completed the ripening of spiritual herbs and the alchemy work, but also successfully promoted to the sixth level of Jindan.

At this time, he still had nearly two thousand Lingyun Shenghui Pills left.
