Chapter 592
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stepped into the depths of the valley. The spiritual energy around them became more and more dense, and the air was filled with an ancient and powerful aura. The two looked solemn and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the front, and the ground shook. A huge monster rushed out of the dense forest, its body as big as a mountain, covered with black scales, its eyes as red as blood, and exuding a terrifying pressure.
"A demon beast in the fusion stage!" Nangong Wan exclaimed in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Fu Shaoping's eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on the Star Scimitar in his hand, whispering, "Wan'er, be careful! This monster is not simple."
The monster roared and pounced on the two of them. It opened its huge mouth and a stream of blazing flames gushed out, heading straight for Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan.
"Daluo Vajra Seal!" Fu Shaoping formed seals with his hands, and golden light shone around him. A huge golden handprint appeared out of thin air and collided with the flames, making a deafening roar.
Nangong Wan quickly retreated, forming seals with both hands, and whispered, "Shao Ping, I'm here to help you!"
She cast the "Heavenly Gang Disha Formation", and the spiritual energy around her quickly gathered to form a powerful formation, trapping the monster in it. In the formation, countless runes flashed, constantly weakening the monster's power.
The monster roared angrily and swung its huge claws violently. A sharp claw wind tore through the air and headed straight for Fu Shaoping.
"Qiankun Niluan Palm!" Fu Shaoping's figure flashed, and the palm wind was like a rainbow, colliding with the claw wind, bursting out a powerful shock wave.
The monster was repelled several steps, with a hint of surprise in its eyes. It suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a black beam of light gushed out, heading straight for Fu Shaoping.
"Imprison Heaven Ice Seal!" Fu Shaoping formed seals with his hands, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped. Countless ice crystals condensed into a huge ice wall, freezing the black light column.
Seeing this, Nangong Wan quickly cast the "Nine Heavens Thunder and Fire Formation", in which thunder and fire intertwined and continuously bombarded the monster. She whispered, "Shao Ping, I will strengthen your magical power!"
Fu Shaoping nodded, and swung the Star Scimitar fiercely, the blade light was like a rainbow, and he chopped the monster directly. At the same time, he summoned twelve Thunder Swords to form the "Taiyi Sword Formation", in which thunder and lightning intertwined, constantly bombarding the monster.
The monster roared continuously, and its body was trapped in the sword formation, unable to escape. Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to sacrifice the broken sword of the innate spiritual treasure, and the sword light was like a rainbow, piercing the monster's vital point.
The monster swung its huge tail suddenly, knocking the broken sword away. It roared, suddenly jumped up, and rushed straight towards Fu Shaoping.
"Flying demons to protect your body!" Fu Shaoping's body was filled with golden light, and a huge golden shield enveloped him. The monster's giant claws hit the shield, making a deafening roar.
Fu Shaoping took the opportunity to cast the "Life Spirit Talisman Seal", and a huge talisman appeared out of thin air, directly pressing down on the monster. The monster was suppressed by the talisman, and its body froze.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Wan quickly used the "Hun Tian Pearl". The Hun Tian Pearl floated in the air, emitting powerful spiritual power, which raised Fu Shaoping's cultivation to a small level.
Fu Shaoping felt the surge of power in his body, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He whispered: "Wan'er, let's join forces to solve it completely!"
Nangong Wan nodded and quickly performed the "Underworld Temple Dragon God Summoning Technique". A huge dragon shadow emerged from the void and pounced on the monster.
The monster roared continuously, but gradually became powerless in the face of the joint attack of Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan. Fu Shaoping suddenly swung the Star Scimitar, the blade flashed like a rainbow, and chopped the monster's head directly.
The monster let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground with a bang, and turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated.
Fu Shaoping let out a long sigh, put away his magical powers, turned around and looked at Nangong Wan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Wan'er, thanks to you, otherwise it would be difficult for us to deal with this monster."
Nangong Wan smiled slightly and said softly: "Shao Ping, we are one. No matter what we face, I will fight alongside you."
Fu Shaoping nodded, held her hand, and whispered: "Wan'er, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan stood in front of the corpse of the monster. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, but the two looked calm, with a gleam in their eyes. The corpse of this fusion-stage monster was undoubtedly a huge fortune for them.
Fu Shaoping squatted down and carefully examined the corpse of the monster. He whispered, "Wan'er, the scales of this monster are extremely hard and can be used to refine defensive magic weapons, especially its scales. If they can be refined into armor, they will definitely be able to withstand the attacks of cultivators in the fusion stage."
Nangong Wan nodded and said softly, "Shao Ping, its bones are also extraordinary. The bones of the fusion stage monsters contain powerful spiritual power. They can be used to refine offensive magic weapons or as the core material of the formation."
Fu Shaoping smiled slightly, took out a sharp short knife from his storage ring, and began to carefully peel off the scales of the monster. He was skilled, and each cut was extremely precise to avoid damaging the integrity of the scales. Nangong Wan assisted him and neatly piled the peeled scales aside.
"Wan'er, its heart is also a treasure." Fu Shaoping cut open the monster's chest and took out a fist-sized monster heart. The heart was still emitting a faint spiritual power fluctuation. "The heart of a fusion stage monster contains powerful vitality. It can be used to refine high-level elixirs or as an auxiliary material for cultivation."
Nangong Wan took the heart, examined it carefully, and said softly, "Shao Ping, its blood also contains powerful spiritual power, which can be used to draw high-level talismans or refine spiritual fluids."
Fu Shaoping nodded, took out several jade bottles from the storage ring, and began to collect the blood of the monster. Nangong Wan took out some talisman paper, dipped it in the blood of the monster, and quickly drew several high-level talismans.
"Wan'er, its demon pill is the real treasure." Fu Shaoping cut open the monster's belly and took out a fist-sized demon pill. The demon pill exuded rich spiritual power fluctuations, like a dazzling gem.
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he whispered, "Shao Ping, the demon pill of the fusion stage demon beast contains powerful spiritual power. If we can refine and absorb it, it will definitely greatly improve our cultivation."
Fu Shaoping held the demon pill in his hand, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Wan'er, I plan to refine this demon pill myself and use it to break through to the sixth-level alchemist."
Nangong Wan was slightly stunned, then showed a look of joy: "Shao Ping, you finally decided to take this step! The sixth-level alchemist is the realm that countless alchemists dream of."
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I have been accumulating experience. Now that I have this fusion stage demon pill, I am confident to try to break through. If I succeed, not only will my alchemy skills be greatly improved, but the status of our Chamber of Commerce will also rise."
Nangong Wan held his hand, his eyes full of support: "Shao Ping, I believe you will succeed. I will fully support you, protect you, and ensure that the alchemy process is foolproof." Fu Shaoping smiled slightly and said softly: "Wan'er, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear."
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he whispered, "Shao Ping, no matter what the outcome is, I will stay with you."
Fu Shaoping carefully put away the demon pill, and then continued to collect the corpse of the demon beast. He put the scales, bones, heart and blood into the storage ring, and whispered: "Wan'er, we can take these materials back to the Chamber of Commerce. We can use them to refine magic weapons and pills, and also add a lot of resources to the Chamber of Commerce."
Nangong Wan nodded and said softly: "Shao Ping, we have gained a lot this time. Not only did we get the corpse of the monster, but we also verified our strength. In the future, we will definitely occupy a more important position in the Chamber of Commerce."
Fu Shaoping held her hand, his eyes full of determination: "Wan'er, no matter what the future holds, we will face it together."
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and he said softly: "Shao Ping, with you by my side, I have nothing to fear."
The two men packed up the corpse of the monster and put it into the storage ring, then continued to go deeper into the valley. Their figures seemed particularly firm in the setting sun, like two bright stars, illuminating the road ahead.
After Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan returned to the Chamber of Commerce, they immediately summoned several alchemy masters in the Chamber of Commerce to study the recipe of the Poxian Pill. Poxian Pill is an extremely rare high-level pill that can help cultivators break through bottlenecks and even improve their realms. However, it is extremely difficult to refine, and even a sixth-level alchemist may not be able to succeed.
Fu Shaoping took out the demon pill of the fusion stage demon beast and placed it on the table. The demon pill exuded a strong spiritual power fluctuation, like a dazzling gem. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this fusion stage demon pill is our biggest gain this time. I plan to use it to refine the Immortal Breaking Pill. But the recipe of the Immortal Breaking Pill is extremely complicated. We need to study it carefully to ensure that it is foolproof."
Nangong Wan nodded, took out an ancient recipe from the storage ring, and unfolded it on the table. The recipe densely recorded the proportions and refining steps of various medicinal materials. Each medicinal material was extremely precious, and some had even become extinct.
"Shao Ping, although the recipe of this elixir is complicated, as long as we think carefully, we will be able to find a way to refine it." Nangong Wan said softly.
Fu Shaoping read the recipe carefully, frowning slightly: "The 'Nine Revolutions Mysterious Spiritual Grass' and 'Heavenly Gang Disha Flower' mentioned in this recipe are both extremely rare spiritual medicines. I'm afraid we don't have them in stock in our Chamber of Commerce."
Nangong Wan smiled slightly and took out two spiritual herbs from her storage ring. They were the Nine-turn Mysterious Spiritual Grass and the Heavenly Gang Disha Flower. She said softly, "Shao Ping, I have prepared for this. I got these two spiritual herbs at an auction many years ago and have kept them ever since."
A hint of surprise flashed in Fu Shaoping's eyes. He held Nangong Wan's hand and whispered, "Wan'er, you are always so careful. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."
While studying the recipe, Fu Shaoping also began to practice the secrets of the immortality pill. The secrets are an extremely important part of the alchemy process, and the proficiency of the secrets directly affects the success rate and quality of the pill.
Fu Shaoping sat cross-legged, forming seals with his hands, silently reciting the formula for the elixir. His whole body was gradually enveloped by a layer of light golden light, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth. Nangong Wan was guarding him on the side, his eyes full of concern.
"Shao Ping, the practice of alchemy requires your full concentration. Just concentrate on practicing, and I will protect you." Nangong Wan said softly.
Fu Shaoping nodded and continued to practice the alchemy formula. As time went by, he gradually mastered the essence of the alchemy formula, and the spiritual power in his body became more and more condensed.
After everything was ready, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan came to the alchemy room of the Chamber of Commerce. In the alchemy room, there was a huge alchemy furnace, the body of which was engraved with ancient runes and emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations.
Fu Shaoping put the demon pill and various medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace one by one, then formed seals with his hands and began to activate the alchemy formula. The flame in the alchemy furnace gradually rose, and the medicinal materials gradually melted in the flame, emitting a rich aroma.
"Wan'er, the temperature needs to be constantly adjusted during the alchemy process. Come and help me control the flame." Fu Shaoping said in a deep voice.
Nangong Wan nodded, quickly formed a seal, and controlled the flame in the alchemy furnace. Her technique was skillful, and the flame was sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle under her control, ensuring that the medicinal materials could be fully integrated.
As time went by, the medicinal materials in the alchemy furnace gradually merged into a crystal clear pill, which exuded rich spiritual fluctuations, like a shining star.
"Shao Ping, the pill is about to take shape. We need to use all our strength to activate the pill formula to ensure the quality of the pill." Nangong Wan said softly.
Fu Shaoping nodded, formed seals with his hands, and used all his strength to activate the alchemy formula. The elixir in the alchemy furnace gradually took shape, emitting a dazzling light.
As Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan used all their strength to activate the alchemy formula, the elixir in the alchemy furnace gradually took shape and emitted a dazzling light. Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the alchemy room fluctuated violently, as if being pulled by some mysterious force, and the entire alchemy furnace was shrouded in a layer of brilliant golden light.
"Shao Ping, the pill is about to take shape, be careful of unusual phenomena!" Nangong Wan reminded in a low voice with a serious expression.
Fu Shaoping nodded, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. He knew that when high-level elixirs were being refined, they would often cause strange phenomena in the heaven and earth, and even cause elixir thunder. If one was not careful, it would lead to the failure of elixir refining, or even endanger oneself.
At this moment, the pill in the alchemy furnace suddenly burst out with a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, and countless mysterious runes appeared on the surface of the pill, as if resonating with the heaven and earth. The spiritual energy in the alchemy room quickly gathered, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex that rushed straight into the sky.
"The elixir has completed its mission!" Fu Shaoping whispered, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Nangong Wan quickly formed a seal and whispered, "Shao Ping, the elixir has already appeared. It may attract elixir thunder next. We need to set up a formation to resist it!"
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, you set up the formation, and I will continue to activate the alchemy formula to ensure that the pill is formed!"
Nangong Wan quickly took out several formation flags from his storage ring, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered, "Heavenly Gang Disha Formation, start!"
As she formed seals, the formation flags were quickly inserted around the alchemy room, forming a powerful formation. In the formation, countless runes flickered, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations, covering the alchemy furnace.
"Shao Ping, the Tian Gang Di Sha formation has been set up, and it can withstand the first wave of Dan Lei's attack!" Nangong Wan said softly.
Fu Shaoping nodded and continued to activate the alchemy formula. The elixir in the alchemy furnace gradually took shape and emitted a dazzling light. At this moment, the sky suddenly changed color, dark clouds gathered, and thunder rolled, as if the heaven and earth were angry.
"Dan Lei is coming!" Nangong Wan said in a low voice with a solemn expression. (End of this chapter)
