Chapter 593
With the tacit cooperation between Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, the Tiangang Disha formation, under the blessing of the Daluo Vajra Seal, emitted a brilliant golden light, and the runes flowed, forming an indestructible barrier. The spiritual power fluctuations in the formation became stronger and stronger, as if resonating with the heaven and earth, resisting the destructive power of the pill thunder.
"Boom!"
The second bolt of lightning descended from the sky like a giant dragon, carrying an even more violent force than before, and struck the alchemy room. The lightning struck the barrier, making a deafening roar, and the entire alchemy room was shaking violently. However, the runes in the formation were as solid as a rock, and with a flash of golden light, they completely neutralized the power of the lightning.
"Shao Ping, the formation is stable!" A hint of joy flashed in Nangong Wan's eyes, but her expression was still solemn, "But the power of the pill thunder is still increasing, we can't take it lightly."
Fu Shaoping nodded, his eyes firm: "Wan'er, continue to bless the formation, I will guide the spiritual power to ensure that the pill is formed!"
The two of them worked together tacitly. Nangong Wan formed seals with his hands and whispered, "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil, the world is reversed!"
The runes in the formation changed rapidly, forming a more complex spiritual power network that firmly protected the alchemy furnace.
At the same time, Fu Shaoping took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered: "Daluo Vajra, all things return to one!"
As he formed seals, the golden light in the formation became brighter and brighter, as if it had transformed into a huge diamond shadow, standing above the alchemy room, majestic and incomparable.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The third and fourth thunderbolts fell one after another, each one more violent than the previous one, as if the heaven and earth were angry and wanted to destroy everything. However, under the dual blessing of the Tiangang Disha Formation and the Daluo Vajra Seal, the power of the thunderbolts was completely neutralized, the formation was as stable as Mount Tai, and the runes circulated, emitting a frightening spiritual power fluctuation.
"Shao Ping, the power of Dan Lei is beginning to weaken!" Nangong Wan said in a low voice with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "The pill will soon take shape, let's hold on for a while!"
As the last thunderbolt fell, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth again. The spiritual vortex in the alchemy room also slowly dissipated, and the elixir in the alchemy furnace emitted a dazzling light, like a bright star, suspended in the air.
"The pill is done!" Nangong Wan was overjoyed, his eyes full of excitement.
Fu Shaoping let out a long sigh, with a gratified smile on his face: "Wan'er, we succeeded!"
The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of tacit understanding and trust. The pill in the alchemy furnace slowly fell down and was carefully put into the jade bottle by Fu Shaoping. Countless mysterious runes appeared on the surface of the pill, emitting powerful spiritual power fluctuations. It was obviously a pill of extremely high grade.
"Shao Ping, the quality of this pill is far beyond our expectations. It seems that the baptism of pill thunder has made it even better!" Nangong Wan exclaimed.
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although the pill thunder is dangerous, it is also the last test for the pill to take shape. If it can successfully resist the thunder tribulation, the quality of this pill is naturally extraordinary."
Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Shao Ping, this time it was all thanks to your Daluo Diamond Seal. Otherwise, the Tiangang Disha Formation alone would not be able to withstand the power of Dan Lei."
Fu Shaoping shook his head, his eyes gentle: "Wan'er, this is our joint effort. Without your formation, I would not be able to accomplish all this alone."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment. In the alchemy room, the spiritual energy gradually returned to calm, only the light of the pill was still bright, as if telling the miracle they created together.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan sat cross-legged and took the elixir. The elixir melted in their mouths and turned into a warm spiritual power that quickly flowed through their bodies. At first, their breath was stable and a layer of light spiritual light enveloped their bodies, as if they were integrated with the world. However, as the power of the elixir was gradually released, their bodies began to undergo subtle changes.
In Fu Shaoping's Dantian, a vortex of spiritual power slowly rotated, and the spiritual power flowed along the Ren and Du meridians. Every time it passed an acupuncture point, his meridians trembled slightly, as if being washed by a powerful force. A layer of light golden lines gradually emerged on the surface of his skin, as if ancient runes were wandering. His breath began to become thick, and a majestic aura emanated from his body, like a mountain about to wake up. At the same time, his eyes became deeper, as if he could see through all illusions.
Nangong Wan's changes were equally significant. Her spiritual power flowed along the eight extraordinary meridians, and every time it passed an acupuncture point, her meridians glowed slightly, as if nourished by a gentle force. A layer of light silver lines gradually emerged on the surface of her skin, as if moonlight was shining on her. Her breath became light and agile, and she exuded a cool temperament, like a bright moon. Her eyes also became clearer, as if they could reflect the essence of all things in the world.
Just as the two were about to finish absorbing the elixir, a sudden change occurred. In Fu Shaoping's dantian, the spiritual power vortex suddenly accelerated, and a violent force burst out from his body. His golden lines instantly became dazzling, like burning golden flames, and his aura suddenly increased, like an erupting volcano. A trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, as if he could tear apart all obstacles.
Nangong Wan's body also underwent a sudden change. Her spiritual power suddenly accelerated in the eight extraordinary meridians, and a gentle but powerful force burst out from her body. Her silver lines instantly became bright, like flowing moonlight, and her aura suddenly increased, as if a full moon was shedding endless light. A trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, as if it could heal all the pain.
After the sudden change, the auras of Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan changed completely. Fu Shaoping's aura became thick and violent, like a towering mountain, with endless majesty and power. Nangong Wan's aura became light and agile, like a bright moon, with endless coolness and tenderness. On the surface of their bodies, golden and silver lines intertwined, like an ancient scroll, telling of their transformation and sublimation.
The two opened their eyes at the same time, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in their eyes, as if they could see through all illusions. Their aura gradually subsided, but the powerful force still flowed through their bodies, as if it could burst out at any time. At this moment, they were no longer the same as before, but had completed a qualitative leap and entered a higher realm.
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan had just finished absorbing the elixir, and before their auras had completely subsided, they heard footsteps coming from outside the alchemy room. A moment later, the Chamber of Commerce manager and his apprentice Lin Xuan walked in together. The Chamber of Commerce manager was wearing a luxurious robe, smiling, holding an exquisite jade box in his hands, and was obviously well prepared. Lin Xuan followed behind the manager, with a respectful look on his face, but his eyes could not hide the excitement.
"Congratulations to Master Fu and Master Nangong for successfully refining such a high-grade elixir!" The Chamber of Commerce manager smiled and congratulated them. "The alchemy skills of the two masters are truly amazing. The emergence of this elixir will definitely cause a sensation in our Chamber of Commerce!"
Fu Shaoping smiled slightly and returned the greeting: "Thank you for the compliment, Manager. The success of this alchemy is also thanks to the support and assistance of the Chamber of Commerce."
Nangong Wan also chuckled and said, "We are really flattered that the steward has come here in person. I wonder if the steward has something important to discuss this time?"
The Chamber of Commerce manager laughed and handed over the jade box in his hand: "You are too polite, Masters. This time, I came here to congratulate you two and to discuss the follow-up matters of this elixir. This elixir is of very high grade. If it can be auctioned in the Chamber of Commerce, it will definitely attract countless powerful people to compete for it. What do you think, Masters?"
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other. Fu Shaoping pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "What the steward said is very true. This elixir is indeed suitable for auction, but the specific matters still need to be discussed with the steward in detail." Upon hearing this, the steward of the Chamber of Commerce smiled even more: "Master Fu is really straightforward! In this case, we will discuss it in detail later. By the way, Lin Xuan has admired the two masters for a long time. I came here today specially to ask the two masters for advice."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Lin Xuan, I am honored to meet Master Fu and Master Nangong! I have long admired the alchemy skills of the two masters. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to see them today. I wonder if the two masters can give me some pointers?"
Fu Shaoping looked at Lin Xuan and saw that he looked sincere and his eyes were full of curiosity, so he nodded and said, "Lin Xuan, since you are willing to learn, we will naturally not be stingy with our guidance. However, alchemy requires patience and perseverance, so you must be mentally prepared."
When Lin Xuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded quickly and said, "Disciple understands! Disciple will definitely live up to the expectations of the two masters!"
Nangong Wan also chuckled and said, "Lin Xuan, since you are willing, we will naturally do our best to teach you. However, the way of alchemy requires gradual progress. You can't rush for success."
Lin Xuan nodded respectfully: "Disciple will remember Master Nangong's teachings!"
Seeing this, the Chamber of Commerce manager nodded with satisfaction: "The two masters are indeed broad-minded. It is a blessing for Lin Xuan to have the guidance of the two masters! In this case, I will not disturb the two masters. I will come to discuss the elixir auction with the two masters in detail later."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan nodded and said, "Manager, please take care. We will talk later."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan took a short break in the alchemy room, and then decided to go out to travel in order to consolidate the realm they had just broken through and look for more opportunities. The two simply packed up their luggage, took the necessary elixirs and magic weapons, and embarked on a journey of travel.
They first came to a vast forest, with towering ancient trees and rich spiritual energy, as if it were an undeveloped pure land. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan strolled in it, feeling the tranquility and vitality of nature. Suddenly, a low roar of an animal came from the forest, and a huge spiritual beast jumped out of the bushes and blocked their way.
A trace of vigilance flashed in Fu Shaoping's eyes, and he whispered, "Wan'er, be careful, this is a third-level spirit beast, and its strength is not bad."
Nangong Wan nodded, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered: "Heavenly Gang Disha Formation, start!"
The runes in the formation flashed rapidly, forming a powerful barrier to block the attack of the spirit beast.
Fu Shaoping quickly formed a seal and whispered, "Daluo Vajra Seal, bless!"
A huge golden handprint appeared out of thin air and struck the spirit beast. The spirit beast was hit and let out a painful roar, then turned and fled into the forest.
Nangong Wan chuckled and said, “Shao Ping, it seems that our strength has improved a lot, and we can even deal with the third-level spirit beast easily.”
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, this forest is rich in spiritual energy, and perhaps there are many opportunities hidden. Let's go deeper and take a look."
The two continued to move forward and soon came to a deep valley. The valley was filled with mist, as if it were a fairyland. They stepped into the valley carefully and found an ancient stone tablet at the bottom of the valley, which was engraved with mysterious runes.
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he whispered: "Shao Ping, the runes on this stone tablet seem to be some kind of ancient martial arts!"
Fu Shaoping carefully examined the stone tablet and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the runes on this stone tablet do record a profound technique. We might as well comprehend it and perhaps we can gain something."
The two of them sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the runes on the stone tablet. As time went by, they gradually comprehended the mysteries in the runes, and their spiritual power also increased. After a moment, Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan opened their eyes at the same time, with a gleam of brilliance in their eyes, and it was obvious that they had gained something.
Nangong Wan chuckled and said, "Shao Ping, this technique is indeed mysterious. Our strength has improved a lot."
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Wan'er, this valley is rich in spiritual energy. Perhaps there are more opportunities. Let's continue exploring."
The two continued to go deeper into the valley and soon came to a clear lake. The lake was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky, like a paradise. They stood by the lake, feeling the coolness of the lake water and the rich spiritual energy.
Suddenly, ripples appeared on the lake, and a gentle voice came from the lake: "Since you two have come here, it is fate. I am the guardian spirit of this lake, and I wish to establish a good relationship with you two."
Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, and Fu Shaoping bowed and said, "What advice do you have, senior?"
The voice of the guardian spirit in the lake came again: "Two destined people, I see that you have extraordinary talents and pure hearts. I would like to give you a treasure to help you make further progress on your future path."
Before he finished speaking, the lake surface shone with light, and a crystal clear jade slip flew out of the lake and landed in front of Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan. The jade slip was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a powerful spiritual power fluctuation.
Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he whispered, "Shao Ping, this jade slip seems to record a profound technique!"
Fu Shaoping nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior, we are very grateful for your kindness. Do you have any other advice?"
The voice of the guardian spirit in the lake came again: "You two destined people, you may encounter many challenges on the road ahead, but as long as you keep your heart, you will not be afraid of anything. Go, I wish you a smooth journey on the road ahead."
As soon as the words fell, the lake returned to calm, as if nothing had happened. Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan looked at each other, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They put away the jade slips and continued their journey. (End of this chapter)
