Chapter 532
Next, the two divided the work. Fu Shaoping was responsible for cutting the fur. He used the Star Scimitar, and the sharp blade easily peeled off the fur of the wolf monster. Nangong Wan was responsible for collecting the bones, sorting out the huge bones one by one and putting them in a storage bag.
After finishing the cleaning, Fu Shaoping wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Wan'er, we have gained a lot this time, but we should not stay here for long. Let's find a safe place first, and then study how to refine the Cangling Pill."
Nangong Wan nodded: "Well, I also think that there are still many dangers in this sacred mountain, so we should be cautious."
In the well-arranged cave, Fu Shaoping began to refine the Cangling Pill with a solemn expression. He first took out the Canglang Yaoyao Pill and placed it on a special jade plate. The Yaodan exuded a faint green light, and the powerful spiritual power contained in it made the surrounding air tremble slightly.
In the cave, Fu Shaoping was preparing to extract the essence of the Canglang Yaoyao Pill, which was a critical step in refining the Cangling Pill. Nangong Wan also knew the importance of this step, and came to Fu Shaoping early, ready to provide assistance at any time.
Fu Shaoping placed the Canglang Yaoyao Pill in the center of the jade plate. The demon pill emitted a faint green light, and the spiritual power around it flowed like a vortex. He looked solemn, and his hands quickly formed seals, muttering something in his mouth. Threads of spiritual power flew out from his fingertips and accurately wrapped around the demon pill.
Nangong Wan stared at the demon pill and the spiritual power thread intently. She felt Fu Shaoping's nervousness and concentration at the moment. "Shaoping, I'll be by your side to monitor the spiritual power fluctuations around you, you can operate with confidence." She said softly, while circulating her own spiritual power to form a layer of perception barrier in the cave to ensure that there would be no unexpected interference with Fu Shaoping.
"Okay, I feel much more at ease with you here." Fu Shaoping nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving the demon pill.
When extracting the essence of the demon pill, one of the key points is the control of the spiritual power threads. These threads must penetrate into the demon pill evenly and steadily without any deviation. Fu Shaoping carefully controlled the spiritual power threads, as if he was carving an extremely precious work of art. Each thread carried his will, slowly and orderly penetrating into the demon pill to absorb the essence.
Nangong Wan was watching from the side. Once he found that the spiritual power thread showed signs of instability, he immediately reminded Fu Shaoping: "Shaoping, the spiritual power of the left thread is a little weak, it needs to be strengthened."
Fu Shaoping responded quickly: "Understood!" He slightly adjusted the output of spiritual power to stabilize the silk thread again.
Another key point is to grasp the balance of power inside the demon pill. The demon pill contains powerful and complex energy. During the process of extracting the essence, the relative balance of its internal power must be maintained, otherwise the demon pill may explode due to energy imbalance. Fu Shaoping, with his profound alchemy skills and keen perception, always pays attention to the energy changes inside the demon pill. Nangong Wan did not dare to slack off. She used her unique spiritual perception ability to assist Fu Shaoping in monitoring the energy flow inside the demon pill.
"Shao Ping, there is a slight fluctuation in the energy at the core of the demon pill, and it seems to be spreading outwards. Do you think we need to adjust the direction of the silk thread's absorption?" There was a hint of nervousness in Nangong Wan's voice.
Fu Shaoping's eyes were fixed on the demon pill. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll try changing the direction of the silk thread." As he said that, he decisively controlled the spiritual power silk thread to change direction and successfully stabilized the energy inside the demon pill.
As the essence was gradually extracted, the light on the surface of the demon pill became dimmer, and the extracted essence, wrapped in the spiritual power thread, gradually formed a dark green light ball, suspended in the air. However, at this moment, the remaining spirit of the wolf demon began to struggle violently, emitting a gloomy breath, trying to break free and attack Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping's face instantly became solemn. He used all his strength to activate the power of the stars and build a star barrier in his sea of consciousness to resist the attack of the spirits. Seeing this, Nangong Wan immediately helped. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and a soft and tough spiritual power barrier appeared in front of Fu Shaoping, cooperating with his star barrier to resist the attack of the spirits.
"Shao Ping, my spiritual barrier can temporarily weaken the power of the spirit. You should speed up the refining of it!" Nangong Wan shouted.
"Okay, watch me!" Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth, increased his spiritual power output, and controlled the spiritual power thread to refine the spirit more violently. With the close cooperation of the two, the struggle of the spirit gradually weakened, and was finally completely refined and integrated into the essence of the demon pill.
After a long and arduous extraction process, the essence of the demon pill was successfully extracted. Next, Fu Shaoping began to put other auxiliary materials into the pill furnace. Nangong Wan assisted in passing the materials and used his spiritual power to adjust the surrounding spiritual environment to ensure the smooth progress of the pill refining process.
Finally, under Fu Shaoping's careful refining, the Hidden Spirit Pill was about to take shape. But at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a powerful thunderstorm descended.
Nangong Wan felt the powerful aura of the thunder tribulation, and she quickly came to Fu Shaoping's side: "Shaoping, this thunder tribulation is extremely powerful, let's deal with it together!"
Fu Shaoping nodded with a firm look: "Well, we can definitely get through this!" The two of them took action immediately.
Fu Shaoping arranged several layers of powerful defensive arrays around the cave, and at the same time released all his star power to form a huge shield covering the cave. Nangong Wan also circulated his spiritual power and integrated his spiritual power into the shield to enhance the shield's defense.
The first lightning struck fiercely, and the shield trembled violently, emitting a dazzling light. Nangong Wan and Fu Shaoping felt a strong impact at the same time, and their spiritual power was quickly consumed.
"Hold on, Wan'er!" Fu Shaoping shouted loudly.
"I'm fine, Shaoping, keep holding the shield!" Nangong Wan responded, although his voice was a little strained, he was still firm.
Lightning bolts kept falling, each of which contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. The shield gradually cracked under the bombardment of lightning, Fu Shaoping's face became paler and paler, and Nangong Wan was sweating profusely, but she still firmly maintained her spiritual power output.
When the thunderstorm was at its most violent, a bolt of lightning several times thicker than before struck the cave. Fu Shaoping used up his last bit of strength and gathered all the star power in his body into the shield. Seeing this, Nangong Wan released all his life force without hesitation and injected it into the shield.
"Shaoping, let's fight!" Nangong Wan shouted.
"Okay!" Fu Shaoping responded, bearing the tremendous pressure together with Nangong Wan.
With a loud bang, the lightning hit the shield, and the shield shattered instantly. The powerful impact knocked the two people away. Fu Shaoping spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Nangong Wan was also seriously injured, but fortunately, after the lightning, the thunder tribulation finally dissipated gradually. The two supported each other and stood up, looking at each other's eyes, which were injured but firm, and both showed a relieved smile.
Nangong Wan looked at Fu Shaoping with concern: "How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Fu Shaoping gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm fine, how about you? Don't hold on."
Nangong Wan shook his head: "I'm fine too. This time I was able to escape without any danger, and the Hidden Spirit Pill was successfully refined."
Fu Shaoping looked at the alchemy furnace, his eyes full of relief: "Yes, thanks to you being by my side."
After successfully refining the Cangling Pill, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan carefully distributed the pills in the cave. Nangong Wan gently picked up several Cangling Pills that were emitting colorful light and fragrant, and after carefully examining them, he handed three to Fu Shaoping and said with a smile: "Shaoping, you contributed the most to the pill refining this time, so these three are yours. I hope they can help you make further progress in your cultivation."
Fu Shaoping took the pill and looked at Nangong Wan with gentle eyes: "Wan'er, you have worked hard too. This pill is very important to all of us. You must make good use of it." The two smiled at each other and understood each other.
After distributing the pills, they decided to practice in seclusion. Fu Shaoping found a quiet place, set up a defensive array, and sat cross-legged on the futon, ready to take the Cangling Pill to practice the Qingdi Changsheng Jue.
He carefully took out a Cangling Pill, which emitted a mysterious light in the dim cave. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath and put the Cangling Pill into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and a powerful and gentle medicinal power instantly spread in his body, flowing along his meridians like a gurgling stream.
Fu Shaoping hurriedly practiced the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret, which was a mysterious and obscure secret: "Green wood turns into spirit, vitality is contained within. Spirit sources gather, the sea of qi hides the truth. The heavenly organs circulate, the divine will guards the heart. With the blessing of the Qing Emperor, longevity is found."
The path of cultivation begins with sensing the spiritual power veins in the body, and using the mind as a guide, slowly gather the spiritual power scattered in the limbs and bones to the lower dantian, forming a spiritual power vortex, which is the meaning of "green wood turns into spirit, vitality is contained within". Fu Shaoping followed the formula and guided the medicinal power of the Cangling Pill and his own spiritual power to gather in the lower dantian. The lower dantian soon felt warm, and the spiritual power vortex gradually grew larger.
Next, the spiritual power gathered in the lower dantian needs to be guided to the middle dantian through a specific meridian route. This step is "the spiritual source gathers, and the qi sea hides the truth." The middle dantian is where the qi sea is located. The spiritual power is gathered and refined here, just like forging rough iron into fine steel. Fu Shaoping concentrated all his attention and carefully controlled the flow of spiritual power to ensure that it passed smoothly through the middle dantian.
Afterwards, the spiritual power will circulate along the eight extraordinary meridians. Starting from the lower Dantian, it will pass through the perineum, coccyx, Jiaji, Yuzhen, and reach the Niwan Palace, and then descend from the Zuqiao and Tanzhong to the lower Dantian, completing a small circulation. Each time the circulation is completed, the mind must be protected by the divine will to ensure that the spiritual power runs smoothly. This is "circulation of the body, divine will guarding the heart."
However, as a profound skill, the Qingdi Changsheng Jue is not a smooth process. When Fu Shaoping directed the medicinal power to a key acupuncture point, the Mingmen acupuncture point, he suddenly encountered an obstacle. This acupuncture point was like being blocked by a solid barrier, and the medicinal power could not pass through smoothly, and began to become disordered in the meridians.
Beads of sweat appeared on Fu Shaoping's forehead. He knew he had to stay calm at this moment. He slowed down the speed of his spiritual power and tried to impact this acupuncture point in a gentle way. But every impact brought a piercing pain, as if countless needles were piercing his meridians.
"I can't give up. I must break through this obstacle." Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and muttered to himself. He kept adjusting the route of his spiritual power and tried to impact the acupuncture points from different angles.
Just when he felt a little powerless, the spiritual power in his body seemed to be stimulated by the drug and began to run around uncontrollably. Fu Shaoping's face became very ugly. He could feel that his meridians were slightly damaged under the impact of the spiritual power, and blood was slowly seeping out along the meridians.
"No, if I go on like this, all my efforts will be wasted, and my life may even be in danger." Fu Shaoping forced himself to calm down. He circulated the power of the stars, building a stable spiritual power channel in his body, slowly guiding the chaotic spiritual power back on track.
After a lot of hard work, Fu Shaoping finally found the weak point of the acupuncture point. He concentrated all his spiritual power and medicinal power and launched a final attack on this point.
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out inside Fu Shaoping's body, and the solid barrier was finally broken. The medicinal power poured into the acupuncture points like a flood breaking through a dam, and then quickly flowed throughout the body.
Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief, but a bigger challenge was still ahead. As the medicinal power was fully absorbed, he began to strive for the fifth level of the Spiritualization Realm.
The fifth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is a huge watershed. Breaking through this realm requires bearing the powerful pressure of heaven and earth. Fu Shaoping felt an invisible pressure coming from all directions, as if to crush his body and soul.
His bones made a "crackling" sound under the pressure, as if they would break at any time. His skin was squeezed by the pressure and bleeding, and he looked miserable.
At this difficult moment, the figure of Nangong Wan emerged in Fu Shaoping's mind. "Wan'er, I must break through and walk side by side with you." This belief supported him and made him burst out with unprecedented strength.
He desperately practiced the Qing Emperor's Longevity Art to increase the spiritual power in his body to the extreme. Just when the pressure was about to completely crush him, Fu Shaoping suddenly felt a mysterious power being stimulated in his body.
This power merged with his spiritual power to form an even more powerful force. Under the impact of this power, Fu Shaoping finally broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level of the Spiritualization.
A powerful spiritual power burst out from his body, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed towards him frantically, enveloping him in a huge spiritual power vortex. Fu Shaoping's aura continued to rise, and finally stabilized at the fifth level of the Spiritualization Realm.
After Fu Shaoping successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the spiritual energy in the cave gradually subsided, but the changes that took place in him were astonishing.
His aura, the originally restrained and steady spiritual power fluctuations, now became more powerful and vast. If it was a bottomless pool before, now it is a turbulent ocean, and every breath contains awe-inspiring power. A layer of faint green light lingers around him, which is a unique sign of the successful practice of the Green Emperor's Longevity Art. The green light flickers, as if it carries endless vitality and energy. Strands of spiritual power emanate from his body, like a gentle breeze, but with an indescribable powerful aura.
