Chapter 287: The Right Time and Place, Golden Elixir 2 Wash
Chapter 287: The Right Time and Place, the Second Wash of the Golden Elixir (It’s the end of the month, please give me some votes~)
"My Lord, what is this?"
Wu Qingbo came to the cave and looked at the open black and red giant umbrella with some surprise.
He knew at first sight that this was a magic weapon that suited him very well.
Cheng Xinzhan smiled and said,
"It's made for you. Take it."
If there is any creature in the world that is naturally suitable for a magic umbrella, it must be the corpse ghosts. These zombies, even if they have achieved enlightenment and practiced cultivation, are still afraid of the scorching sun, thunder and fire, and are even more likely to be targeted by others, so having a magic umbrella is extremely appropriate for them.
Wu Qingbo was somewhat moved.
"But sir, I have done nothing great and dare not accept the reward."
Cheng Xinzhan said,
"You and I are one, why would I need a reason to give you a treasure? Besides, you searched all over the world for a place to transcend my tribulation, how can that not be considered a credit? Stop talking and take it."
He said without further ado.
Even if Wu Qingbo had thousands of words to say, the only word that came to his lips was "yes". He took a few steps forward, grasped the magic umbrella, and channeled the magic power.
The magic umbrella suddenly shone with light, and it expanded further according to Wu Qingbo's burly body. A sea of fire surged on the umbrella, and the falling star in the umbrella whistled, as if it was about to fly out of the umbrella.
Wu Qingbo shook his hand again, and the magic umbrella closed by itself. The surging sea of fire and the whistling sounds of falling stars disappeared, and the umbrella surface was as black as the deep night.
"It seems appropriate. Go ahead."
Cheng Xinzhan said.
Wu Qingbo saluted with an umbrella, bowed, stepped back, and left the cave.
Cheng Xinzhan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing again. He had almost completed all the necessary preparations. With the five tribulation-transcending instruments, he could withstand even the fifty-ninth thunder tribulation.
There were only two things to do next. The first was to wait and check from time to time whether there were any problems with the spells carved on Tiecha Mountain and the array formations arranged. Whenever there was a thunderstorm, he would offer a high sacrifice to refine the golden elixir.
The second thing is to think about the Dharma image of the golden elixir. This is only the second thunder tribulation. Cheng Xinzhan doesn't want to think about "the peaches are ripe and the golden liquid is lingering", but the Dharma image should be refined so that he can have more means and help.
People's hearts may deceive themselves, but the Dharma images formed through the interaction with heaven and earth will not. Cheng Xinzhan also wants to see what his own Tao is like.
----
It was the early morning of the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month in the fourth hundred and sixty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty.
It was the Waking of Insects, with frequent thunder and heavy rain.
There was a rumbling sound everywhere between heaven and earth. The whole sky seemed like a huge iron sheet with carriages running on it non-stop. The sky and earth were also hazy. The spring rain was drizzling, as if the rain master was hanging her rain curtain.
This is especially true on the Qilu Peninsula. At this time, the southeast wind is blowing, and the sea fog is coming ashore. The coast for hundreds of miles is hazy. The sea fog and the rain curtain are intertwined, and you can only see five steps around you.
Tiecha Mountain, located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, is completely shrouded in rain and fog, as if there is sea on all sides and only nine peaks floating like rafts.
It has been three years since Cheng Xinzhan came to Tiecha Mountain.
During these three years, he carefully controlled the "Su Feng Liang Tian Gang" wind to blow away the calamity clouds, and carefully controlled the "Tai Yi Hun Yuan Dan Tai Lei Huo Jian Xing Secret Method" to temper the golden elixir, all in order to control the time of overcoming the calamity to the day he wanted.
These two secret methods not only shortened the interval between pill washing and accelerated his cultivation speed, but also allowed him to control the precise time of tribulation in a small range, which was enough for him to choose an auspicious day.
And the auspicious day for him to wash away his second elixir tribulation is today, the Waking of Insects Day.
There are three reasons.
Firstly, there are many thunderstorms in Jingzhe and sea fog in Zhongchun. At this time, the sky and the earth are hazy, which is the best concealment in terms of weather.
Secondly, he calculated the zodiac signs for the days before and after the Jingzhe season, and found that only the day of Jingzhe was "gold foil gold, established position", which was the most suitable for him to survive the tribulation.
Combining his own golden elixir, his first Guishui thunder tribulation, and the nature of the elixir cleansing tribulation, Cheng Xinzhan has already guessed the nature of his second thunder tribulation.
He made the elixir with rain Gang and earth evil, and the Gang was weak while the evil was strong, so the first golden elixir tribulation was Guishui tribulation, which supplemented the rain and made the golden elixir Gang and evil equal, and the yin and yang balanced.
The purpose of cleansing the golden elixir is to make the golden elixir more rounded and mature. My golden elixir is now integrated with water and soil, and the yin and yang are balanced, with no obvious omissions. Therefore, the second cleansing of the golden elixir will most likely start directly on the gold nature.
Cheng Xinzhan guessed that it was either a golden thunder that strengthened the gold nature, or a fire thunder that refined gold with fire. Although soil can also produce gold, this was a water-soil golden elixir. If it was an earth thunder, it would cause an imbalance between water and soil, and the evil spirit would be out of balance, so it was highly unlikely.
As for the disasters of fire and gold, the days of "gold foil and gold, construction and position" are the best.
"Gold Foil Gold" is already the day when gold energy is at its peak, presenting a gorgeous and frivolous appearance. However, if it encounters thunder tribulation heavenly gold and thunder tribulation heavenly fire, it is like using gold to replenish gold or using fire to forge gold, which coincides with the meaning of thunder tribulation cleansing the elixir.
"Establishing a position" means that all things are just beginning to be created, and it is suitable for creating and laying the foundation. Doesn't this mean that it is suitable for cleansing the elixir and breaking through the realm?
The third reason lies in Jingzhe itself. It is said that the thunder begins on Jingzhe and all things revive. The thunder on this day is also the thunder of vitality, with abundant vitality and little killing intent, which is suitable for washing the elixir.
At this time, Cheng Xinzhan looked inward and saw that in the Huangting Palace, the calamity cloud had completely enveloped the golden elixir, and there was no gap between the calamity cloud and the golden elixir.
It should be coming soon.
He greeted Wu Qingbo, and finally started to form a formation.
Spells began to flash on the mountain walls on the ground and under the sea at the same time. Then the rain became heavier and the fog became thicker. The hazy water vapor began to rise further, slowly submerging the nine iron rafts, and finally connected with the rain clouds in the sky.
At this time, not only the mountains and sea are invisible, but the water and sky are also connected as one.
Wisps of mirage clouds dispersed and seeped into the mist and rain. Thirty-six veiled bird flags flew out, connecting with the mysterious and leak-free talisman in Cheng Xinzhan's body through the Tiangang formation, forming a "veiled bird sky-covering flag formation" that was even larger than when the Earth Book was overcoming the tribulation.
Then, Cheng Xinzhan, who was in the cave halfway up the mountain, summoned the Nine-Hole Dust-Free Lotus incarnation and placed this empty shell on one of the nine peaks.
After completing all these cover-ups, Cheng Xinzhan waited patiently for the auspicious time to arrive.
----
Noon.
It is the time of the day when the Yang energy is the strongest. However, on such a rainy day, the scorching sun is naturally not visible. The sky and the earth are dim, as if it is the Yin and Mao hours.
But Cheng Xinzhan in the cave suddenly opened his eyes. He could feel that the disaster had begun to take place.
He raised his head to look towards the sky and saw the sky was turning purple. Right on the top of Tiecha Mountain, wisps of purple calamity energy appeared out of thin air, slowly gathered together, and condensed into clouds. They looked so obvious in the gloomy gray rain curtain.
Purple Sky Tribulation?
Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised. After all, it was the second time to wash the pill, and he thought it would be another yellow heavenly tribulation.
The purple clouds continued to grow, surge, and expand, and finally covered the entire mountain where Cheng Xinzhan was.
After the calamity cloud took shape, it began to breed thunder, with loud thunder and flashing lightning, which lasted for a long time.
Cheng Xinzhan stared at the robbery cloud, and at a certain moment, he saw a flash of lightning burst out from the edge of the cloud, revealing a color. A scarlet red color.
Moreover, at the moment when the thunder struck, the surrounding rain and fog were burned into white smoke.
It really was a fire disaster!
It did not exceed Cheng Xinzhan's expectations, but there were many magical fires in the sky and on the ground, and just by looking at the color of the fire, he could not guess what kind of fire it was before being struck.
The thunder roared for two quarters of an hour, a total of forty-five times. It was truly the fifty-nine thunder tribulation, skipping forty-nine.
Cheng Xinzhan also offered a golden elixir. A bright white pill flew out from his crown, emitting golden light like a rising sun. He placed it at a height slightly lower than the nine peaks.
Then, the thunder stopped for a while, brewing for the final time.
"Qing Bo, can you see anything there?"
Cheng Xinzhan asked in his mind. He was in the formation, so he could see the purple calamity clouds above clearly, but he didn't know what was happening outside the formation.
"I can't see anything, except that the thunder was a little loud, but it has stopped now. Apart from that, there is nothing unusual."
Judging from Wu Qingbo's tone, he seemed to be much more nervous than Cheng Xinzhan.
"I'm about to start my tribulation journey. Don't let anyone get close to me."
"As ordered!"
Wu Qingbo said in a decisive tone.
Cheng Xinzhan then focused his attention on the sky.
It was noon.
"boom!"
The first thunder came down, emitting red light and carrying silver electricity. The thunder pierced through the void, igniting a blazing sky fire that fell along with the thunder.
The golden elixir had survived a thunder tribulation before, and had been tempered by Cheng Xinzhan with the "Taiyi Hunyuan Dantai Leihuo Tempering Secret Method" for so many years. Now, when it saw the thunder, it finally did not run away immediately, but waited quietly for the thunder tribulation to strike.
Jindan was not afraid, but Cheng Xinzhan was more careful than ever before.
When the thunder was only inches away from the golden elixir, the nine peaks of Tiecha Mountain suddenly emitted light. On these nine silver-shining iron peaks that had been refined by thunder and fire for tens of millions of years, nine iron halberds were erected by Cheng Xinzhan at some point.
This is a Fangtian painted halberd made by Cheng Xinzhan using Shoushan red copper. The halberd is square in shape and can be used as both a weapon and a ritual object. Later, it evolved into a ridge brake. The nine huge iron halberds that Cheng Xinzhan inserted on the top of the mountain are more like ridge brakes in shape, and the halberds are densely engraved with curse words.
And if you look down from above the calamity cloud, you will find that on the iron peaks of the Nine Mountains there are nine huge characters several dozen feet in size engraved. Those are the nine characters for "靐".
Cheng Xinzhan carved the lightning-inducing spell from the "Taiyi Hunyuan Dantai Leihuo Qianxing Secret Method" on the iron roof!
The backs of the nine iron halberds were also densely engraved with the word "靐", and it was inserted right in the middle of the three "雷" characters on the iron tops.
The curse and the iron halberd were not visible on normal days, but they appeared at this moment as Cheng Xinzhan made a seal and gave the order.
The curse word flashed with purple light, and the iron halberd flew out like an arrow, with a chain dragging at the end of the pole, connected to the iron top. Just when the fire thunder in the sky was about to hit the golden elixir, the iron halberd took the lead and blocked it in front of the golden elixir.
Boo!
The thunder and fire hit the iron halberd, but the halberd was not burned into molten iron immediately. The thunder and fire spell characters on the halberd flashed, and directed the thunder and fire that fell on the body into the chains. The thunder and fire quickly burned along the chains to the top of the iron and then poured into the mountain.
When Cheng Xinzhan looked up, he could see a flaming lightning net blocking the golden elixir.
This was the lightning protection formation he had arranged for the Golden Elixir based on the topography of Tiecha Mountain after he had designated it as the place to transcend tribulation. It would be a waste if such a good terrain was not used.
"Boom——"
Tiecha Mountain shook slightly, and some rubble rolled down and fell into the sea, causing a row of waves.
But that was all, the Tiecha Mountain itself had not cracked, collapsed, or collapsed. Cheng Xinzhan had naturally checked the mountains, the earth veins, and the sea veins before daring to set up such a lightning protection formation.
A streak of lightning several feet wide split nine mountains, and finally only a streak of fire thunder as thick as a bucket was left that hit the golden elixir.
A burning and numb feeling immediately spread to Cheng Xinzhan through the golden elixir.
burn!
The last time the water thunder was as cold as bone-chilling, this time the fire thunder was as burning as to melt the bones.
The bones all over his body made crackling sounds, like thunder in the sky, or firecrackers, as if his joints had been cracked by the burning fire.
All the internal organs seemed to be ironed by a branding iron, and the heart palace was in great turmoil, beating and throbbing, as if it was about to explode. The robbery fire was indeed the robbery fire, and even the sun's Bing fire could not suppress it. Bing fire was like an angry dragon, turning the rivers and seas in the heart palace, baring its fangs and claws, trying to prevent the robbery fire from burning in.
It felt as if charcoal was filled into his lungs, the Qilin was screaming, and Cheng Xinzhan was unable to breathe for a moment, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it. The Twelve-story Building seemed to have been burned dry and was emitting a burnt smell.
It was like thousands of glowing steel needles piercing my skin, making my whole body numb. It was so hot, yet I felt a chill. Sweat poured out like blood, but before it soaked my clothes, it turned into white steam and dried up.
Cheng Xinzhan had an extremely strange feeling, as if the fire was burning from the inside out!
I don’t know how long it took, but the thunder seemed to stop, the thunder in the sky stopped, the thunder that felt like bones cracking in the body also stopped, and the movements in other parts of the body gradually subsided.
But at this moment, the heart-piercing pain slowly seeped out from the bones.
The pain was so severe that even Cheng Xinzhan was grimacing.
This is only the first thunderbolt.
He struggled to raise his eyelids and look at the golden elixir in the air. There was nothing wrong with the golden elixir. After being refined by thunder, it became even brighter. But he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that the golden elixir seemed to have become smaller.
What kind of fire is this? Why is it so powerful?
"boom!"
Without giving Cheng Xinzhan much time to breathe and think, the second thunderbolt came again. Cheng Xinzhan saw that the golden elixir performed well in the first thunderbolt, so he changed the spell, and the thunderbolt attracted by the iron halberd was less.
As long as the golden elixir can withstand it, he can naturally withstand the pain of burning body.
Then, immediately afterwards, that feeling of burning from deep within my bones came over me again, and it was even more violent than the first time.
However, since he had anticipated the fire disaster, he would naturally make preparations.
At this time, the inner world was ablaze, as if a fire disaster had destroyed the world, and there were blazing flames everywhere. His mind moved, and suddenly, in the Yin Palace, a faint light shone brightly, and the green light instantly illuminated the entire inner world, spreading a coolness, and immediately reduced the bone-melting heat a lot.
It was the Xuanpin Pearl that was emitting divine light.
