Chapter 499
They found a hidden cave in a valley. There were signs of spiritual energy gathering around the cave, and there was a natural restriction at the entrance to prevent outside interference. Fu Shaoping said, "Wan'er, this looks like a good place to refine blood pills." Nangong Wan also agreed.
Fu Shaoping began to arrange the formation for refining the elixir in the cave. He took out various rare materials from the storage bag and placed them in specific positions. His expression was very focused, thinking to himself: "The arrangement of the formation is crucial for the refining of this blood pill, and it must be foolproof." He placed a spirit gathering tripod at the core of the formation. This spirit gathering tripod was a treasure left to him by his master, which could gather spiritual power to the greatest extent and ensure the smooth refining process.
Nangong Wan assisted him from the side. She used her knowledge of formations to check for loopholes in the formation set up by Fu Shaoping. She whispered, "Shaoping, the flow of spiritual power in this position seems to be a little blocked. We can add a piece of spiritual jade to guide it." Fu Shaoping followed Nangong Wan's suggestion and added a piece of spiritual jade to the formation. Sure enough, the spiritual power of the entire formation became smoother.
After everything was ready, Fu Shaoping carefully placed the blood pill into the Soul Gathering Cauldron. He began to exert his spiritual power and ignited the spiritual fire under the cauldron. This spiritual fire was cultivated by him using a variety of spiritual woods and his own spiritual power. The flame was a dark blue color and the temperature was extremely high. As the spiritual fire burned, the blood pill began to slowly rotate in the Soul Gathering Cauldron, and the blood mist became thicker.
Fu Shaoping did not dare to slack off. While controlling the temperature of the spiritual fire, he gradually added the prepared auxiliary materials into the Soul Gathering Cauldron. Each time an auxiliary material was added, a different reaction would occur in the Soul Gathering Cauldron. After some auxiliary materials were added, the blood mist of the blood pill would be temporarily suppressed, while others would cause fluctuations in the internal power of the blood pill.
Nangong Wan watched nervously, her palms sweating. She knew that if the refining failed, not only would the blood pill be destroyed, but Fu Shaoping might also be attacked by the evil power of the blood pill. She prayed silently in her heart: "It must succeed."
As the refining process progressed, the color of the blood pill began to change, from the initial blood red to dark red. Fu Shaoping felt that the evil power of the blood pill became more difficult to control, so he increased the output of spiritual power to try to stabilize the state of the blood pill. The veins on his forehead bulged, and sweat kept dripping down his face.
Just when the refining of the blood pill reached the most critical moment, suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. Fu Shaoping was shocked, he knew that this was the arrival of the pill tribulation. The pill tribulation is a test that is bound to appear when refining high-level pills. Only by overcoming the pill tribulation can the pill be truly successfully refined.
Nangong Wan said anxiously: "Shao Ping, this pill tribulation looks very fierce, what should we do?" Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and said: "Wan'er, you stay here to protect me, I will concentrate on dealing with the pill tribulation." Nangong Wan nodded, she formed seals with her hands and set up a defensive formation around Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping was concentrating on controlling the blood pill in the Soul Gathering Cauldron. He raised his spiritual power to the extreme, trying to make the blood pill complete the final transformation under the pressure of the pill tribulation. The first thunder tribulation fell and struck directly on the restriction above the cave. The restriction flickered a few times and barely blocked the attack.
Fu Shaoping's heart tightened, he knew this was just the beginning. Then, one thunder tribulation after another continued to fall, each one more fierce than the previous one. Fu Shaoping's spiritual power was consumed greatly, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Nangong Wan saw that Fu Shaoping was in such a difficult situation, and she also wanted to help. She began to exert her spiritual power, gathering the surrounding spiritual power to Fu Shaoping's defensive formation to enhance the defensive power of the formation.
With the joint efforts of Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, the Blood Pill was finally refined under the baptism of the pill calamity. What was surprising was that three Blood Pills were refined from the original one. These three pills emitted a dark red light, and the blood mist around them had been completely refined, replaced by a mysterious and powerful aura.
Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief. He put away the pill and said tiredly, "Wan'er, I finally succeeded." Nangong Wan also smiled with satisfaction, "Shaoping, you really did it."
At this time, the pill disaster outside the cave gradually dissipated, and the sky became clear again. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan knew that they now had these three precious pills, and they could find a place to take them and improve their spiritual cultivation. They smiled at each other, and then walked towards the depths of the valley, looking for a safe place to take the pills and improve their spiritual cultivation.
Fu Changsheng sat cross-legged in the quiet cave, the spiritual energy around him like a trickle, slowly gathering towards him. He closed his eyes, his expression solemn, ready to start practicing the mysterious and powerful "Green Emperor's Longevity Secret".
The Qing Emperor's Secret of Immortality has always been the supreme secret manual in Fu Changsheng's sect, and the cultivation routes recorded in it are complex and exquisite. Fu Changsheng knew the importance of this practice, so he took a deep breath and immersed himself in it.
He first began to circulate his spiritual power according to the route called "Spiritual Root Initial Awakening" in the technique. This route requires the spiritual power to start from the Dantian and slowly ascend along the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, like a trickle nourishing the meridians along the way. Fu Changsheng carefully controlled the flow rate of the spiritual power to ensure that every meridian could fully absorb the nourishment of the spiritual power. As the spiritual power flowed, he could feel his meridians gradually widening, and the originally obscure places became unobstructed.
Then, he entered the route called "Qi Hai Ning Bo". The spiritual power flows from the kidney meridian to the Qi Hai, forming tiny spiritual power vortices in the Qi Hai. These vortices blend and collide with each other, just like the waves in the sea, rolling constantly. Fu Changsheng concentrated his mind and gradually merged these vortices into a larger spiritual power vortex. This vortex slowly rotated in the Qi Hai, emitting a soft light, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, making the spiritual power in the Qi Hai more and more concentrated. Then there is the route of "Zi Fu Xing Yao". The spiritual power rises from the Qi Hai along the Governor Vessel and reaches Zi Fu. When the spiritual power enters Zi Fu, Fu Changsheng seems to see a vast starry sky. According to the guidance of the practice, he transformed the spiritual power into twinkling stars in Zi Fu. These stars are arranged according to a specific star map, and each star represents a powerful spiritual power. As the number of stars gradually increased and the arrangement became more perfect, Fu Changsheng felt that his spiritual consciousness was constantly increasing, and he could perceive everything around him more keenly.
The last route is "transforming the spirit and returning to the true self". This is the most critical part of the entire cultivation process. The spiritual power flows down from the purple palace along the Ren meridian and returns to the Dantian. In this process, the spiritual power must be compressed and purified many times, and all the spiritual power essences absorbed and transformed in various routes are integrated together. Fu Changsheng was fully focused and did not dare to be distracted in the slightest. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
As the last bit of spiritual power returned to his Dantian, Fu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. He could clearly feel that his cultivation of the third level of the Spiritualization Realm had improved by one third. It seemed as if a new force was surging in his body, and his spiritual awareness was sharper than before. Fu Changsheng was filled with joy.
I just took a few steps.
I heard the sound of fighting.
Hearing the noise, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were startled. As the supreme elders of the Rock Family, they could not sit idly by and watch the family members fall into crisis. At that moment, the two of them rushed towards the direction where the sound came from like lightning.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw four members of the Rock Family being besieged by ten divine beasts. The situation was precarious. These four members were all rising stars in the family, but they were in a state of panic when faced with so many ferocious divine beasts.
The young man holding the long sword made of rock was named Yanfeng. The spiritual light on his sword had dimmed a little, and every time he swung the long sword, he needed to consume a lot of energy. He faced three divine beasts. One of them was a giant wolf beast. It was huge and swift. Every time it attacked, there was a sharp sound of wind. Its claws flashed with cold light, and it almost scratched Yanfeng several times. The other two beasts, one was a monster that looked like a civet cat but was huge in size. Its eyes flashed with strange blue light, and it was good at sneak attacks. There was also a pangolin monster covered with scales. It had extremely strong defense. Yanfeng's sword pierced its scales, but only a few sparks were splashed.
The other two disciples, Yanyun and Yanlei, stood back to back. They were surrounded by a spiritual shield, which was a defensive measure they jointly used. Yanyun was good at earth-based spiritual spells. He constantly drew spiritual power from the ground to maintain the shield, but the shield was already shaky under the attack of the monster. A monster shaped like a giant spider kept spitting out tough spider silk, which was like a steel cable, tightly wrapped around the shield, trying to break the shield. The spider monster's eyes flashed with a faint green light, and each time it spit out spider silk, it was extremely accurate. And an eagle monster with huge wings hovered in the air, swooping down from time to time, attacking the shield with its sharp claws. Yanlei was good at thunder spells. From time to time, he released a few lightning bolts from the shield to repel the approaching monster, but his spiritual power was also consumed very quickly.
There was another female disciple named Yan Xue. She was good at magic attacks, and waves of spiritual power came out from her hands. She was facing a porcupine monster covered with spikes. The spikes of the porcupine monster were not only extremely hard, but also could be fired. Although Yan Xue's spiritual power waves could make the porcupine monster retreat slightly, the porcupine monster would soon rush up again, and once the spikes on its body were fired, it was like a rain of arrows, and Yan Xue could only keep dodging.
Seeing this, Fu Shaoping snorted coldly, and waved his hands. A powerful spiritual power wave spread out from him. This spiritual power was like a surging tide, instantly pushing back several monsters that were close to his disciples. Nangong Wan also took action at the same time. The magic weapon in her hand was an exquisite jade fan. With a light wave, the spiritual power wind blades whistled towards the monsters.
After the giant wolf monster was hit by Fu Shaoping's spiritual power, the fierce light in its eyes became stronger. It howled to the sky and rushed towards Yanfeng again. Fu Shaoping's figure flashed and appeared in front of the giant wolf monster. He stretched out a finger, and the spiritual power condensed on his fingertips. With a light tap, a spiritual power beam instantly shot towards the forehead of the giant wolf monster. The giant wolf monster wanted to dodge, but found that its body seemed to be fixed. It could only watch the spiritual power beam hit itself and let out a painful howl. After the giant wolf monster's forehead was hit by the spiritual power beam, a small blood hole appeared. It shook its head angrily and rushed towards Fu Shaoping again. Fu Shaoping quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a spiritual power barrier appeared in front of him. The giant wolf monster's claws grabbed the barrier, leaving only a few shallow marks. Fu Shaoping pushed his hands forward, and the barrier instantly expanded, bouncing the giant wolf monster away again.
On Nangong Wan's side, her wind blade hit the spider monster, cutting off all the spider silk it spit out. The spider monster shook its body angrily, and its eight long legs moved quickly, rushing towards Nangong Wan. Nangong Wan was not in a hurry, and waved the jade fan again, this time fanning out a spiritual flame, which swept towards the spider monster. The spider monster tried to resist with spider silk, but the flame instantly burned the spider silk and continued to pounce on it. The spider monster had no choice but to burrow into the ground to avoid the attack of the flames. How could Nangong Wan let it escape easily? She inserted the jade fan into the ground and chanted a spell. A spiritual restriction spread from around the jade fan, trapping the spider monster underground.
At this time, Fu Shaoping had already fought with several other monsters. His figure was like a ghost, moving freely among the monsters. Every time he attacked, a monster would be injured. The black panther monsters tried to besiege Fu Shaoping. They cooperated with each other and attacked from different directions. Fu Shaoping's mouth corners slightly raised, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, instantly forming a spiritual barrier around himself. The claws of the black panther monster grabbed on the barrier, leaving only a few shallow marks. Fu Shaoping pushed his hands forward, and the barrier expanded instantly, repelling all the black panther monsters. Fu Shaoping took advantage of the situation to form seals with his hands and summoned several spiritual spears. The spears flashed with dazzling light and shot towards the black panther monster. The black panther monster dodged flexibly, but one of the black panther monsters was pierced in the leg by the spear. It let out a painful roar and slowed down.
The four besieged disciples of the Rock Family were greatly encouraged by the bravery of the Grand Elder. Yan Feng adjusted his breath, clenched his sword again, and rushed towards the injured black panther monster. His swordsmanship became more fierce, and each sword contained powerful spiritual power, and soon killed the injured black panther monster. The other disciples also cheered up, and they began to cooperate with Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan to counterattack the monster.
Yan Yun increased the intensity of extracting spiritual power from the ground. He injected more spiritual power into the shield, and the shield glowed brighter. Yan Lei also took the opportunity to release several powerful lightning bolts, shooting them at the flying eagle monster. The flying eagle monster dodged flexibly in the air, but was still hit by a lightning bolt on the wing, and its flight became a little shaky. Yan Xue quickly formed seals with both hands, and she cast a powerful ice spell, shooting ice cones at the porcupine monster. Although the spikes on the porcupine monster's body were hard, there were many ice cones, and some of them still pierced its body, and the porcupine monster let out a painful groan.
