Chapter 562
The attack of the green-faced white fox hit the shield, making a violent roar. Although the shield had some cracks, it was not broken. Fu Shaoping seized this opportunity and summoned the Heavenly Dragon God of the Underworld Temple to assist. A huge Heavenly Dragon God appeared from the void, its body exuding a powerful aura, and pounced on the green-faced white fox. Seeing this, the green-faced white fox was shocked. It didn't expect that Fu Shaoping actually had such a powerful helper. It quickly cast an illusion to try to confuse the Heavenly Dragon God. However, the Heavenly Dragon God has a powerful spiritual consciousness, and the illusion did not have much effect on it.
The Sky Dragon God opened his mouth and blew out a huge dragon breath, sweeping towards the green-faced white fox. The green-faced white fox quickly used his magical power, and a green barrier appeared in front of it, blocking the attack of the dragon breath. But the power of the dragon breath was too strong, and the green barrier gradually cracked under the impact of the dragon breath.
Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to use his natal talisman seal. A huge talisman flew out of his hand and smashed towards the green-faced white fox with a powerful force. The talisman hit the green-faced white fox, making a violent roar. The green-faced white fox was smashed by the talisman and flew backwards, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, you are so difficult to deal with!" The green-faced white fox roared angrily. It knew that if it didn't use its full strength, it would be difficult to defeat Fu Shaoping today. So, it decided to use its strongest magical power - "Fox Shadow Phantom Kill".
Countless fox shadows suddenly appeared around the body of the green-faced white fox. These fox shadows had different shapes, some holding sharp blades, and some casting spells, rushing towards Fu Shaoping. Fu Shaoping felt a strong pressure coming at him, and he knew that this was the strongest attack of the green-faced white fox. He quickly operated the Hun Tianzhu to improve himself to a small realm. Suddenly, he felt that his spiritual power became more abundant and his strength was greatly improved.
Fu Shaoping used his strongest spells, combining the Daluo Diamond Seal, Qiankun Reverse Palm, Prisoner Ice Seal, Star Scimitar, Taiyi Sword Formation, Innate Spirit Treasure Broken Sword, Flying Demon Bodyguard, and Life Spirit Talisman Seal to form a powerful attack wave. This attack wave rushed towards the green-faced white fox with overwhelming force.
The two powerful forces collided in mid-air, making a thunderous roar. The entire spiritual medicine garden was shaking violently, and the surrounding exotic flowers and plants were destroyed by the powerful force. After the light dissipated, only the green-faced white fox was seen lying on the ground, with scars all over its body and a weak breath. Its fox shadow illusion was completely broken by Fu Shaoping's fusion spell, and it also lost the ability to fight again.
Fu Shaoping slowly walked to the front of the green-faced white fox, looking at its miserable appearance, without any sympathy in his heart. He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive. He stretched out his hand, ready to give the green-faced white fox the final blow.
"Wait!" The green-faced white fox suddenly said, "As long as you spare my life, I am willing to give you all the precious herbs in this spiritual medicine garden."
Fu Shaoping's mind moved. He thought about it and felt that what the Green-faced White Fox said made sense. The purpose of his visit this time was to obtain the precious medicinal materials in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. If he could get these medicinal materials without killing the Green-faced White Fox, it would naturally be the best.
"Okay, I can spare your life, but you must keep your promise." Fu Shaoping said.
The green-faced white fox nodded quickly, indicating that he would keep his promise. So Fu Shaoping put away his weapon and let the green-faced white fox take him to pick the precious herbs in the spiritual medicine garden.
Under the guidance of the green-faced white fox, Fu Shaoping came to the depths of the spiritual medicine garden. There are many rare medicinal herbs growing here, including thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, seven-color fairy fruit, etc. Fu Shaoping was very excited. He carefully picked these herbs and put them into his storage ring.
After picking the herbs, Fu Shaoping was about to leave the Spiritual Medicine Garden. He looked at the green-faced white fox and said, "I hope you won't do evil again in the future, otherwise I won't forgive you a second time."
The green-faced white fox nodded quickly, saying that he would definitely turn over a new leaf. Only then did Fu Shaoping feel relieved and leave the spiritual medicine garden.
After leaving the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Fu Shaoping was filled with emotion. He knew that this battle had made him grow a lot, and also made him more deeply aware of the cruelty of this world. He decided to continue to work hard to practice, improve his strength, explore more secrets, and meet more challenges.
On the way back, Fu Shaoping recalled the fierce battle with the green-faced white fox. Every spell cast and every life-and-death contest seemed to be still before his eyes. He knew that although he had won, he had also paid a heavy price. His spiritual power was exhausted and his body was slightly injured. However, thinking of the precious medicinal materials he had obtained, his heart was filled with joy again.
After returning to a safe place, Fu Shaoping woke Nangong Wan up and told her about his experience in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. After hearing this, Nangong Wan's eyes were full of admiration and gratitude. She knew that Fu Shaoping had paid a lot for her and to explore the secrets of the Witch God Temple.
"Shao Ping, you are so awesome! These precious medicinal herbs will definitely help us improve our strength." Nangong Wan said.
Fu Shaoping smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, we will start refining the elixir now and strive to improve our strength as soon as possible."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan hurried back to a hidden valley with the precious herbs picked from the mysterious spiritual medicine garden. The valley was filled with spiritual energy, and a clear stream was gurgling. Various unknown flowers and plants grew by the stream, emitting a faint fragrance. This place was full of spiritual energy and quiet, making it an excellent place to refine pills.
Fu Shaoping carefully took out an ancient jade slip from his storage ring. The jade slip was engraved with some mysterious runes and emitted a faint light. The jade slip contained the recipe for the Qingning Pill, which he accidentally found from the remains of a senior. It was said that the Qingning Pill could not only stabilize the realm of a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, but also improve the purity of their spiritual power to a certain extent, which would be of great help to their subsequent practice.
The two of them sat cross-legged and probed their spiritual consciousness into the jade slip. The words on the pill recipe seemed to come alive, constantly emerging in their minds. The main ingredients were thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and seven-color fairy fruit. The thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum grew in the deep mountains and old forests, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and contained rich and gentle spiritual power, which could provide a solid spiritual power foundation for the pill; the seven-color fairy fruit grew in a mysterious fairyland, with a hint of spiritual fairy spirit, which could reconcile the medicinal power and make the effect of the pill more balanced.
The ingredients include Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus, Amethyst Grass and Fantasy Flower. Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus grows in extremely cold places and is cool in nature. It can neutralize the warm air of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and prevent the medicinal power from being too strong. Amethyst Grass grows in places with abundant spiritual power, which can enhance the stability of the elixir and prevent the medicinal power from dissipating during the refining process. The Fantasy Flower grows in a mysterious fantasy realm and can give the elixir a special spirituality, making it easier for the user to absorb the medicinal power. Fu Shaoping frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "This elixir recipe seems clear, but the proportions of the various medicinal materials are extremely delicate. The slightest mistake may lead to failure." Nangong Wan nodded slightly, revealing a hint of worry in his eyes: "Yes, we must accurately grasp the dosage and addition time of each medicinal material."
While comprehending the recipe, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan also began to familiarize themselves with the alchemy techniques. They found some common medicinal materials and simulated the refining in a small alchemy furnace. Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, circulated his spiritual power, and controlled the flame in the alchemy furnace. The flame was like a smart little dragon, jumping in the alchemy furnace, and its size and temperature changed according to his will. Nangong Wan watched carefully from the side, reminding Fu Shaoping from time to time to pay attention to the stability of the flame.
After many attempts, they gradually mastered the basic techniques of alchemy. Fu Shaoping was able to skillfully control the intensity of the flame so that the medicinal materials could be tempered at the appropriate temperature; Nangong Wan also learned how to use spiritual power to wrap the medicinal materials to prevent the medicinal power from leaking out.
After everything was ready, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan began to refine the Qingning Pill. They cleaned the furnace, injected pure spiritual power, and preheated the furnace. The furnace made a slight humming sound, and the temperature inside the furnace gradually increased.
Fu Shaoping's hands trembled slightly as he took out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma. This Ganoderma was the size of an adult's palm, emitting a soft glow, and the texture on its surface flickered like stars. He carefully placed the Ganoderma into the furnace, wrapped it with spiritual power, and began preliminary tempering.
As the flames rose, the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum gradually softened in the furnace, emitting bursts of rich medicinal fragrance. Fu Shaoping concentrated on controlling the flames, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes were fixed on the furnace, as if he wanted to see every change in it. At the same time, Nangong Wan took out the seven-colored fairy fruit. This fairy fruit was colorful, like a small universe, containing endless mysteries. She gently put the fairy fruit into the furnace and blended it with the medicinal power of the Ganoderma lucidum.
The two main medicines collided and blended with each other in the furnace, producing a wonderful reaction. The light in the furnace became brighter, and the medicinal power became stronger and stronger. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan did not dare to slack off. They constantly adjusted the size of the flame and the output of spiritual power to ensure that the quenching process of the main medicine went smoothly.
When the main medicine was refined to a certain degree, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan began to add the medicines one by one. The first was the thousand-year-old snow lotus, which was like a crystal ice cube, exuding a cold breath. As soon as the snow lotus entered the furnace, the cold air quickly spread and neutralized the warm air of the main medicine. The temperature in the furnace dropped a lot instantly. Fu Shaoping hurriedly increased the intensity of the flame to maintain the appropriate refining temperature.
Next came the amethyst grass, which was like a purple thread, wrapped around the main medicine. The spiritual power emitted by the amethyst grass was like glue, tightly bonding the various medicinal powers together and enhancing the stability of the elixir. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan could clearly feel that the medicinal power in the elixir furnace had become more condensed.
Finally, there is the Phantom Flower, which is an extremely mysterious flower with strange light flashing on its petals. As soon as the Phantom Flower enters the furnace, it exudes a unique fragrance that seems to penetrate the human soul and give people an illusory feeling. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan hurriedly circulated their spiritual power to resist the influence of this fragrance. The medicinal power of the Phantom Flower and the medicinal power of other medicinal materials merged with each other, giving the elixir a special spirituality.
After the medicinal power of various herbs was completely integrated, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan began the final process of condensing the pill. They continuously input spiritual power into the pill furnace to control the condensation of the medicinal power. The light in the pill furnace gradually converged, and the medicinal power began to gather towards the center. However, at this moment, an accident happened.
The furnace suddenly trembled violently, making a sharp roar. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan were startled. They felt that the medicinal power in the furnace was slightly disturbed. Fu Shaoping hurriedly increased the output of spiritual power to try to stabilize the medicinal power, but it was no use. The light in the furnace became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to explode.
"No, the power of the medicine is out of control!" Nangong Wan shouted anxiously. Fu Shaoping gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on, let's try again!" He quickly formed seals with both hands and cast a powerful spiritual power technique, trying to forcibly control the power of the medicine in the furnace. However, the disorder of the medicine power became more and more serious, and the furnace trembled more and more violently.
Just when they were almost in despair, Fu Shaoping suddenly thought of a way. He took out his life-saving magic weapon, the Star Scimitar, injected powerful spiritual power into it, and then inserted the Star Scimitar into the alchemy furnace. The Star Scimitar exuded a powerful force, competing with the medicinal power in the alchemy furnace. Under the suppression of the Star Scimitar, the disorder of the medicinal power was gradually brought under control.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan took the opportunity to increase the output of spiritual power and continued the process of condensing the pill. After some hard work, the light in the pill furnace finally stabilized, and the medicinal power gradually condensed into the shape of a pill.
"Success!" Nangong Wan shouted excitedly. However, before they could be happy, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a huge lightning bolt streaked across the sky, striking towards them. It turned out that the Qingning Pill was of extremely high quality, which brought about a heavenly calamity.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect to attract such a powerful thunder tribulation. Fu Shaoping quickly took out the broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure and used the flying demon to protect his body. A layer of golden light enveloped them. Nangong Wan summoned his own magic weapon, the spiritual feather fan, and used his spiritual power to form a wind wall to resist the attack of the thunder tribulation.
The first lightning struck their defenses, making a violent roar. The golden light and the wind wall formed by the spirit feather fan trembled violently, but barely withstood the attack of the lightning. However, the thunder tribulation did not end there, and the second and third lightning followed.
Each lightning bolt was more violent than the previous one, and their defenses were constantly weakening. Fu Shaoping felt that his spiritual power was rapidly depleting, and his body was under tremendous pressure. But he gritted his teeth and insisted, "We can't give up. We must protect the refined Qingning Pill!"
Nangong Wan nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She increased the output of spiritual power, and the wind wall created by the spiritual feather fan became stronger. Under their tenacious resistance, the lightning was blocked by them.
However, the thunderstorm became stronger and stronger, and their defense became weaker and weaker. Just when they could hardly hold on, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the furnace.
