Chapter 459: Unexpected Discovery, Retreat to Heal

"Brother, rest assured. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Chen Xuan nodded.

His expression became very solemn.

Liu Lan thanked him and talked to Chen Xuan about some other things before leaving.

Chen Xuan stood quietly in the cave alone, his thoughts unable to calm down for a long time.

"If you can't become a true immortal, you will end up being just a handful of dirt!"

"Even if I have reached the middle stage of Jindan, it is still the same."

"Brother Chen is now considering sitting in meditation and passing away. It seems that he is ready for the failure of his attempt to reach the Jindan stage."

“Although I still have some time before my deadline, the difficulty of reaching the Nascent Soul stage is much greater than reaching the Core Formation stage.”

"Even now, I have the Heavenly Spirit Water in my hand, but I cannot guarantee that I can advance to the Nascent Soul stage 100%."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's yearning for immortality became stronger.

An irrepressible desire to become stronger gave him great motivation to practice.

"Whether you want to seek immortality or become stronger, you need to practice step by step."

"Any opportunistic behavior will probably not allow me to go further."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan calmed down instantly.

But he still didn't practice.

Lying on a stone bed, Chen Xuan soon fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was two days later.

At this time, Chen Xuan's energy and spirit returned to their peak.

The whole person is full of energy.

With a thought, Chen Xuan arrived at the space of the Beast Taming Tower.

The divine consciousness quickly fell towards the cold pool.

Under the effect of the top-grade Purple Jade Pill, the injuries in the Red-tailed Scorpion King's body have been mostly recovered.

After this period of training, the Red-tailed Scorpion King's injuries have recovered a lot.

Chen Xuan estimated that after some time, the Red-tailed Scorpion King would be able to recover completely.

This instantly made Chen Xuan feel much better.

“Although I encountered many crises in the Cangyun Temple, these crises were completely resolved after returning to the sect.”

"Since the Red-tailed Scorpion King is fine, I should also take care of my own business."

Chen Xuan sighed lightly and found a place to sit down next to the cold pool.

hum!

Chen Xuan made a move casually and released the essence of Lihuo first.

call!

The golden essence of fire was quietly floating in front of Chen Xuan.

It is as big as a head.

Moreover, the golden light on it became more and more intense.

Chen Xuan didn't say much, but carefully felt the changes in the essence of Lihuo, and soon a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"After the Essence of Li Fire absorbed the Qianlan Flame, its power increased a lot. If I'm not mistaken, after a while, the Essence of Li Fire will undergo a qualitative change. Maybe there will be a certain chance for it to transform." Chen Xuan said expectantly.

The essence of Lihuo is actually a wisp of heavenly fire.

Although he was born with a little intelligence, it was not much.

However, if the Essence of Fire can transform, it also means that the Essence of Fire has completely undergone a complete transformation.

From then on, the essence of Li Fire had broken free from the shackles of ordinary heavenly fire.

It can evolve indefinitely towards a more powerful direction.

This is also where the Fire Essence is most powerful.

"Go ahead and continue practicing."

Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the essence of fire into the fire-attributed mimicry space.

After doing all this, Chen Xuan flipped his palm again and took out a storage bag.

This storage bag is exactly the storage bag of Yun Fei, the patriarch of the Yun family.

During this period, Chen Xuan was busy on the road and had no time to sort out the spoils.

Now that he has returned safely to the Yuling Sect, he can openly count the spoils he has captured.

Wow!

An extremely pure spiritual power was rapidly injected into the storage bag.

In an instant, the contents of the storage bag fell to the ground.

All kinds of natural treasures are piled up like mountains.

Spiritual stones that sparkle with spiritual light, ancient treasures that exude an aura of spiritual power, thousand-year-old elixirs that exude a fragrant aroma, and so on.

For a moment, Chen Xuan was dazzled.

"Haha, you are worthy of being the Patriarch of the Yun Family. Your net worth is much higher than any other immortal cultivator!"

Chen Xuan was extremely excited.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly got busy.

First, select out a large number of spirit stones, followed by spiritual medicines, ancient treasures, jade slips, talismans, etc.

Only half an hour later, Chen Xuan finally finished his work.

He also thoroughly selected everything.

As for the things that Chen Xuan looked down upon, they were all treated as miscellaneous items and piled aside at random.

"Five million mid-grade spirit stones, three high-grade ancient treasures, and one top-grade ancient treasure. As for the spirit medicine... eh?"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

With a casual move, a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine that was suppressed under many spiritual medicines instantly fell into Chen Xuan's hands.

Unlike other spiritual medicines, this one exudes a faint green light all over.

The aroma of the medicine is very faint.

If Chen Xuan hadn't gotten closer to smell it, he probably wouldn't have been able to smell the medicinal fragrance.

Most importantly, on this spiritual medicine that emits green light, there are three thumb-sized fruits that emit a faint green light.

Each one is round and smooth.

Just like a beautiful green jade.

"This is……"

Chen Xuan looked extremely surprised.

After observing it carefully for a long time, he was suddenly very excited: "Is this... Qingluo Dan Fruit?"

Qingluo Dan fruit!

This is the main ingredient for refining Qingluodan.

And it's very hard to find.

Chen Xuan didn't expect that this extremely rare elixir could be found in Yun Fei's storage bag.

"Haha, in that case, I only need to gather the other materials for refining Qingluo Dan, and then I can refine Qingluo Dan."

Chen Xuan was extremely surprised.

Soon, Chen Xuan put the Qingluo Dan Fruit aside.

After selecting all the other spoils, he put them away in different categories.

Only the Dragon Slaying Whip was left behind by Chen Xuan.

"This is the ancient treasure inherited from the Yun family, and it has great attack power. Although it is not as powerful as the Xuanlong Sword in my hand, it is very useful to me."

"If that's the case, I have to take some time out from now on to get familiar with the Poison Dragon Whip."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

Not to mention other things for now, just the ancient inherited treasure like the Dragon Slaying Whip made him gain a lot of money.

However, Chen Xuan himself also suffered considerable losses during this trip to the Cang Yun Temple.

Several top-grade spiritual weapons were all destroyed.

Now, apart from the Dragon Subduing Sword and the Cloud Piercing Bow, Chen Xuan could not find any other ancient treasure that could be used to defend against the enemy.

After playing with the Dragon Slaying Whip for a while, Chen Xuan put it away properly.

He also took this opportunity to take out the recipe of Qingluo Dan and study it carefully.

After three full months had passed in the Beast Taming Tower, Chen Xuan finally stopped.

"God really helped me. I was able to gather all the spiritual medicines for refining Qingluo Dan by myself."

"In this case, I can refine Qingluo Dan now."

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

After selecting other spiritual medicines for refining Qingluo Dan from his storage bag, Chen Xuan put them aside.

He also took this opportunity to pick the Qingluo Dan fruits and stored them separately.

After doing all this, Chen Xuan calmed down and concentrated. After his mind was completely stable, he activated the Fiery Black Cauldron and started working.

call!

The essence of Li Fire appeared rapidly under the Fiery Black Cauldron.

The golden flame burns fiercely.

The long tongue of fire licked the Fiery Cauldron.

The temperature in the Fiery Black Cauldron also gradually increased at this moment.

Chen Xuan's spiritual consciousness kept staring at the temperature changes in the Fiery Cauldron.

After dozens of breaths, when the temperature in the Fiery Black Cauldron reached the optimal temperature for refining the Qingluo Pill, Chen Xuan directly threw a Qingluo Pill fruit into the Fiery Black Cauldron.

Whoosh!

Under the terrifyingly high temperature, the impurities inside the Qingluodan fruit were evaporated instantly.

There was only the concentrated essence of the medicine, like a drop of water, spinning non-stop at the bottom of the Fiery Cauldron.

Chen Xuan paid close attention to the changes in the Fiery Cauldron.

After a long time, he threw the other spiritual medicines into the Fiery Cauldron one after another.

After waiting for several hours in the Beast Taming Tower, a burst of extremely pure medicinal fragrance suddenly emanated from the Fiery Black Cauldron.

A ray of colorful light also emerged from above the Fiery Black Cauldron.

"It's done!"

Chen Xuan looked very happy.

After he skillfully performed a spell, the tightly fitted lid of the Fiery Black Cauldron automatically popped open with a bang.

Inside, a furnace of twelve pills came out one after another.

Chen Xuan, who was well prepared, put all the pills into the jade bottle with a simple move.

hum!

At this moment, Chen Xuan's spiritual consciousness also completely fell into the jade bottle.

I saw that each of the Qingluo Pills that had just been refined was the size of a dragon flame.

There are four eye-catching patterns on each Qingluo Pill.

This is the sign of a top-grade elixir.

"They are all top-grade elixirs. It seems that my alchemy skills have improved again."

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

At this moment, he didn't have time to review his experience in alchemy.

He picked up a Qingluodan and quickly threw it into his mouth.

call!

Chen Xuan quickly activated the Secret of Controlling Spirits.

In an instant, the medicinal power of the Qingluo Pill in Chen Xuan's body also dissipated rapidly along with the spiritual power.

The hidden injuries hidden deep in Chen Xuan's body were also being healed bit by bit.

However, the hidden injuries in Chen Xuan's body were too serious.

Just one top-grade Qingluodan is not enough to cure it.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry at all.

After he refined five top-grade Qingluo Pills in one breath, he found that the hidden injuries in his body were indeed more than half healed.

As for those stubborn hidden injuries lurking in the body, they have not yet healed.

At the moment, although these hidden injuries exist in Chen Xuan's body, they do not affect Chen Xuan's normal practice.

This instantly made Chen Xuan's mood much better.

"As long as the hidden injuries in my body are mostly healed, then I can continue to seize the time to practice and improve my realm." Chen Xuan sighed.

The realm of a cultivator is the foundation of everything.

Only cultivators with higher realms can live longer.

Take the Nascent Soul Stage and the Core Forming Stage for example.

The lifespan of a cultivator in the Jindan stage is only four hundred years at most.

Even a cultivator like Chen Xuan, who was lucky enough to take the Hongluo Longevity Fruit, could only live for 520 years.

But any immortal cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can easily live to be a thousand years old.

It is twice as long as the lifespan of a cultivator in the Jindan stage.

This is a great temptation for any cultivator in the Jindan stage.

"Now that my internal injuries have almost healed, I will continue to practice in seclusion."

Chen Xuan muttered softly and instantly entered a state of meditation.
