Chapter 563
The refined Qingning Pill flew out of the pill furnace and hovered above their heads. The Qingning Pill emitted a soft light, which seemed to have a magical power that relieved the pressure on them.
"This is the power of Qingning Pill!" Fu Shaoping shouted in surprise. They took the opportunity to circulate their spiritual power and use the power of Qingning Pill to strengthen their defense. With the help of Qingning Pill, they finally resisted the last lightning attack.
The thunderbolt dissipated, and the sky became clear again. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan collapsed to the ground exhausted, but they had relieved smiles on their faces. They successfully refined the Qingning Pill and resisted the attack of the thunderbolt.
Fu Shaoping slowly stood up and carefully placed the Qingning Pill into the jade box. He looked at the Qingning Pill in his hand, his heart full of emotion. This small pill embodied their hard work and efforts, and would also become an important aid in their cultivation.
Nangong Wan walked up to Fu Shaoping and said, "We succeeded. This Qingning Pill will definitely take our strength to a higher level." Fu Shaoping nodded and said, "That's right. Next, we will take the Qingning Pill to improve our strength and continue to explore the secrets of the Wushen Temple."
The two smiled at each other, took the Qingning Pill, and embarked on a new path of cultivation. They knew that the road ahead was still full of challenges, but they were confident that they could overcome all difficulties and achieve their cultivation goals through their own efforts and wisdom.
After the thunderstorm, Fu Shaoping dragged his tired but excited body and staggered to a quiet place in the valley. This place was surrounded by a dense forest of spiritual bamboos. The bamboo leaves rustled in the breeze, as if whispering a mysterious rhythm. A layer of light spiritual mist filled the spiritual bamboos, like a dream, as if it was isolated from all the noise and disturbances of the outside world.
Fu Shaoping slowly walked to a piece of bluestone that exuded a faint spiritual aura, sat down gently, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, letting the fresh and spiritual air fill his lungs, trying to dispel the remaining fatigue in his body. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind - to use the power of Qingning Pill to sprint to the ninth level of the Spiritualization.
He slowly recited the Qing Emperor's Longevity Secret, chanting: "The Qing Emperor came to the world, longevity is the foundation. The spirit is in the heavens, the qi is absorbed into the void. Yin and Yang flow, the five elements return to one. The spirit is integrated with heaven and earth, and the life span is as long as the sky." Every word he uttered seemed to carry a mysterious power, echoing in the air. As he chanted the secret, he could feel a mysterious and powerful force surging in his body, like a sleeping dragon beginning to wake up.
The spiritual power started from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, and slowly flowed up along the foot Shaoyin kidney meridian of the leg like a gurgling stream. At first, this spiritual power was relatively weak, like the stream in early spring, gentle and slow. But as it continued to flow, it gradually gathered in the Dantian. At this time, the Dantian was like a deep spiritual pool, constantly absorbing this spiritual power and making it gradually stronger. The spiritual power rolled and merged in the Dantian, becoming more and more concentrated, as if it was about to give birth to a dazzling spiritual pearl.
Then, the strengthened spiritual power started from Dantian and split into two streams. One stream went up along the Ren channel, and when it passed the Tanzhong point, Fu Shaoping could feel a warm force spreading in his chest, as if a flame was burning, dispelling the coldness in his body; it continued to go up to the Tiantu point, and the spiritual power became more active, like a happy bird flying; finally it went straight to the Baihui point on the top of his head. At this time, Fu Shaoping only felt a coolness on his head, as if a clear spring was injected into his mind, making his thinking clearer and sharper. The other stream went down along the Du channel, and when it passed the Mingmen point, he could feel a strong force gathering at his waist, as if it injected endless vitality into his body; then it went to the Changqiang point, and the spiritual power was like a smart little dragon, happily shuttling through it; finally it returned to the Yongquan point on the bottom of the foot, forming a complete Zhoutian cycle.
With each cycle, Fu Shaoping could feel his body becoming lighter and more energetic, and his spiritual power becoming more condensed and mellow. He was immersed in this wonderful feeling, constantly practicing the technique, trying to get himself into the best condition.
At this moment, Fu Shaoping carefully took out the Qingning Pill that he had successfully refined from his storage ring. The pill emitted a soft and mysterious light, and the texture on its surface flickered like stars, as if it contained endless mysteries. He gently put the Qingning Pill into his mouth, and the pill melted in his mouth, and a majestic and pure medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body.
This medicinal power was like a surging tide, with a strong impact, impacting the meridians and acupuncture points in Fu Shaoping's body. Fu Shaoping only felt a sharp pain in his body, as if his meridians were about to be broken by this medicinal power. His forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face turned as pale as paper. But he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and quickly accelerated the operation of the Qingdi Changsheng Jue, trying to guide and refine this medicinal power.
However, the Qingning Pill was too powerful, and Fu Shaoping's first attempt ended in failure. The powerful medicinal power rushed through his body, causing him unbearable pain. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he uttered a faint groan. But his faith was firm, and after a short breath adjustment, he started his second attempt.
This time, he was more cautious, carefully feeling the direction of the flow of the medicinal power, and accurately using the Qingdi Changsheng Jue to guide the medicinal power. The spiritual power and the medicinal power constantly collided and blended in his body, making a subtle crackling sound. But when the medicinal power hit the bottleneck of his eighth level of transformation, it was blocked again. The bottleneck was like a copper wall and iron wall, indestructible. Fu Shaoping only felt a strong recoil force coming, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body was hit hard, and flew back several feet away.
He fell heavily to the ground, but soon struggled to get up. There was no fear or retreat in his eyes, but an unyielding fighting spirit. He sat down again, practiced the skills, adjusted his state, and launched a third sprint.
This time, he focused all his energy on the bottleneck, trying to find its weakness. His spiritual power was like a sharp blade, constantly cutting the bottleneck. Under his guidance, the power of the medicine also rhythmically hit the bottleneck. With his efforts, the bottleneck finally showed a crack, but soon returned to its original state. Fu Shaoping knew that he was not far from success, but this last step was the most difficult to cross.
He did not give up. After a short rest, he started his fourth sprint. This time, he mobilized all his spiritual power and medicinal power and launched a full-scale attack on the bottleneck. The light around his body was so bright that he seemed to have turned into a luminous body. Under his fierce attack, the cracks in the bottleneck became bigger and bigger, but he could not break through it completely. Fu Shaoping felt that his spiritual power and physical strength had been consumed to the limit, but the belief in his heart supported him to continue. Finally, he launched the fifth sprint. This time, he integrated all his will into his spiritual power and medicinal power. His eyes became extremely firm, as if he wanted to completely destroy the bottleneck. Under his full-strength attack, the bottleneck finally couldn't bear the burden and shattered. A powerful force erupted from his body, and he felt that his body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible force, constantly sublimating.
Before the breakthrough, although the spiritual power in Fu Shaoping's body had reached the peak of the eighth level of the Spiritualization, it still seemed a bit mixed, like a rushing river mixed with some mud and sand. Although the spiritual power was flowing smoothly, it seemed a bit powerless when it hit the bottleneck, as if it was blocked by an invisible film and difficult to break through. Although the spiritual power in Dantian was full, it was not condensed enough, like loose cotton, lacking that kind of powerful explosive power.
After breaking through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation, the spiritual power in his body underwent a tremendous change. The spiritual power became extremely pure, like fine steel that had been tempered a thousand times, emitting a deep and powerful aura. The spiritual power in the Dantian was no longer in a loose state, but condensed into a crystal clear spiritual core, like a bright star, constantly emitting powerful energy fluctuations. At this time, he only needed to gently circulate his spiritual power to feel the majestic power surging in his body, as if it could burst out with the power of destroying the world at any time.
Before the breakthrough, although Fu Shaoping's body had been very strong after long-term training, it still seemed a little fragile when it was subjected to the powerful impact of Qingning Pill. Under the impact of the drug, his meridians ached slightly, as if they were in danger of breaking at any time. His face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was trembling slightly due to pain.
After the breakthrough, his body was fully strengthened. The meridians became tougher, like thick steel pipes, able to withstand stronger spiritual impacts. The bones also became harder, as if wrapped in an invisible armor, enhancing the body's defense. His skin exuded a healthy luster, full of vitality and energy. The whole person's temperament also changed, becoming more calm and confident, as if he had an innate majesty.
When he broke through the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation, although Fu Shaoping's perception range was already very wide, there were still some subtle blind spots. He might not be able to detect some weak spiritual power fluctuations and hidden dangers in time. Although his spiritual awareness could cover a certain area, it was not sharp enough. For some complex spiritual power changes, it still took some time to analyze and judge.
After breaking through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, his perception ability was greatly improved. His spiritual awareness was like a huge and dense net that could easily cover an area of hundreds of miles. He could clearly sense even the slightest movement of a mosquito. He could keenly detect changes in spiritual power and even predict the arrival of some dangers in advance. He seemed to be integrated with the surrounding heaven and earth, and could feel the flow and changes of every trace of spiritual power in nature.
Fu Shaoping slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He stood up, feeling the powerful force in his body, and felt as if he had been reborn. He knew that this breakthrough allowed him to take another solid step on the road of cultivation. Although the challenges in the future are still severe, he is confident that he can overcome them one by one with his own strength.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan walked out of the retreat hand in hand, and the noise of the outside world instantly drowned them like a tide. At this time, the world of immortal cultivation was in an uproar over a piece of news - the ruins of Penglai Fairy Island appeared. In ancient legends, this Penglai Fairy Island is the place where immortals live, hiding endless opportunities and secrets, which has attracted countless immortal cultivators crazy.
Fu Shaoping was dressed in white, with an elegant temperament and calm and wise eyes. He stroked his chin gently, thinking about the pros and cons: "The legend of this Penglai Fairy Island is mysterious and unpredictable. It must be full of dangers, but if we can gain something, it will be of great benefit to our practice." Nangong Wan was wearing a lavender dress, heroic and dashing. She put her hands on her hips, her eyes flashing with excitement: "What are you afraid of? We have been in the world of immortal cultivation for many years. Are we afraid of this small fairy island? Besides, it would be a pity to miss such an opportunity."
The two of them had a common understanding and decided to embark on a journey to Penglai Island based on the clues they had obtained. They heard that the island was located deep in the vast East China Sea and could only be reached by taking a special flying boat. So they came to a small town on the coast of the East China Sea, where many cultivators who were ready to go to the island had already gathered.
At the dock of the town, flying boats of various shapes were neatly arranged. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan chose a flying boat called "Lingyun Boat". This boat was made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, and the boat body was engraved with mysterious runes. It could sail fast on the sea without fear of wind and waves. They boarded the flying boat, and with a roar, the flying boat rushed into the vast sea like an arrow from a string.
The weather at sea is unpredictable. Just now it was clear, but in the blink of an eye, there was a strong wind and dark clouds. Huge waves surged like a hill and hit the flying boat hard. Fu Shaoping formed seals with both hands, and a stream of true energy was injected into the runes of the flying boat. A layer of light blue light suddenly appeared around the flying boat, blocking all the waves outside. Nangong Wan stood at the bow, vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent sea beasts from taking the opportunity to attack.
After sailing for several days in this harsh environment, they finally saw a looming island in the distance. The island was filled with fairy air, like a fairyland. Fu Shaoping's eyes flashed with excitement: "That should be Penglai Fairy Island." However, when they approached the island, they found that a transparent barrier enveloped the entire island. The barrier was flashing with strange light, and there was a faint flow of formations.
When Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan arrived in front of the barrier, they felt a powerful force blocking their way. Fu Shaoping carefully observed the runes and formations on the barrier, frowning: "This is an ancient restriction. If you want to break through it by force, it will definitely trigger a powerful counterattack. We can only break it slowly."
Nangong Wan took out an ancient book from her storage ring. It was a secret book about formations and restrictions that she had accidentally obtained before. She flipped through it quickly, trying to find a way to break it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "It records a method to break the formation. Maybe we can give it a try." (End of this chapter)
