Xiao Jiu is the spirit of the cave and has the power to devour the magic weapon of the cave. Although this medicine garden is the magic weapon of the cave that has been refined by the blood moon alliance leaders in the past generations, in front of Xiao Jiu, he still cannot escape the fate of being swallowed.
Without the magical treasure of Yaoyuan, Xuantian's soil naturally has nowhere to hide and can only be exposed to Liang Yan's sight.
In fact, the reason why he waited until now to take action was mainly because he wanted the Linghu Yu siblings to complete their cultivation in the spiritual spring. After all, if he did this, the spiritual spring of the inheritance cave would be completely scrapped.
"Let's see where you go this time!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, pinched the technique with one hand, and a ray of blue light shot out, instantly drawing the Xuantian soil that had nowhere to escape into it, and shot it in his direction.
The Xuantian soil lost the blessing of the cave-heaven magic weapon of Yaoyuan and the "Four Elephant Thick Earth Formation". Naturally, it could not compete with Liang Yan's magical powers. This time, it was received by him with almost no hindrance.
Seeing the Xuan Tian Qi turning over and over in his palm, Liang Yan felt very good.
He spent decades in Hell, and now he finally gathered enough of Xuantian's Five Elements Qi. He couldn't help but smile happily and said:
"With the five elements gathered together, what's the harm in Liang forming elixirs in Nanyang Peak!"
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged in the dark space below the inheritance cave, put his hands flat on his knees, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and began to meditate.
This sitting is ten days of work.
During this period, Liang Yan's breath gradually became melodious and steady, as if every breath in and out had been integrated into the surrounding nature.
At this time, if there are other monks present, those with lower moral standards may not be able to detect his existence and will just ignore it as an ordinary rock.
By the tenth day, Liang Yan's own condition had been adjusted to its optimal state.
At this time, he opened his eyes, raised his hand and flicked it, and there were many medicinal materials on the ground.
These were all the materials he collected according to the list he left unintentionally when he was in the Flying Star Alliance. Most of them were very rare. Even if he devoted all his efforts to the Alliance, he could only get such a piece.
Of course, the most precious things inside are a root and a feather.
The root had a strange shape, about three feet long, with hands and feet. Although it was pinned to the ground by Liang Yan's spell, it still punched and kicked it as if it was not convinced, making it look like a naughty boy.
"Blue Field Fruit"
According to Wu Xin, a five-hundred-year-old Lantian fruit can increase the chance of forming an elixir by 10%, and the Lantian fruit in front of you, which has been heated for at least two thousand years, should increase the chance by 15 to 20%.
Although it seems quite incredible that two thousand years of heat have only resulted in less than 10% chance of forming a pill.
But you must know that each person can only take one blue field fruit when forming an elixir, and the road to the great road will be extremely difficult if the chance increases by 10%.
With a less than 10% chance of forming a pill, countless people would probably beat him!
As for the other feather, it was naturally the colorful phoenix feather given to him by Wu Xin. This was a necessary material for forming a golden elixir of rank five or below.
The greatest use of colorful phoenix feathers is to help cultivators awaken their own soul.
What is Yuanshen? Yuanshen is the innate divine energy that exists in everyone's body since birth, but its existence cannot be touched by mortals and low-level monks.
The soul is free from thought and care, natural and empty, and is an innate "little aura".
The Taoist sect calls the soul the "true self", and the path of cultivation created is to "refining the essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, until the qi and essence merge, and the essence and spirit merge."
According to the Taoist classification, the three realms of refining Qi, building foundation and gathering Yuan actually belong to the stage of "refining Qi".
If you want to form a golden elixir, it falls into the category of "refining Qi and transforming into a spirit", because the most important step required to form an elixir is to first awaken your own soul.
Liang Yan was fully prepared. At this time, his consciousness was free of thoughts and his aura seemed to exist, and his whole person had reached a state of returning to his original nature.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and cast out several magic formulas. The miraculous elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures around him flew in front of him in order, and were swallowed by them one by one.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Yan changed his technique and pointed his right hand at the colorful phoenix feather on the ground, and the feather floated up and shot towards the center of his eyebrows.
In just an instant, the colorful phoenix feathers disappeared between Liang Yan's eyebrows. At the same time, a colorful glow appeared behind Liang Yan, shrouding his entire body.
In the dark underground cave, this colorful ray of light is particularly brilliant, as if it is a beacon that illuminates everything, guiding the cultivators on their way home.
There are three major difficulties in forming pills, and awakening the soul is one of them. Countless monks have unfortunately died in this first step, let alone subsequent breakthroughs.
Liang Yan has entered a state of selflessness at this moment. He is neither happy nor sad, and the spiritual power in his body is surging crazily, and it is constantly running according to the formula route in the "Tao Sword Sutra".
This state lasted for ten days.
At noon on the tenth day, the colorful glow behind Liang Yan's head shook slightly, and a faint shadow actually appeared.
Although the facial features and appearance of this phantom cannot be clearly seen, it is vaguely identifiable and should be exactly the same as Liang Yan who is sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"The colorful phoenix feather is indeed a treasure that awakens the soul!"
Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of joy on his face.
However, he did not relax at all. He still sat still and continued to use his hands.
The phantom in mid-air gradually rose and began to rotate slowly in the bath of colorful rays of light. Each time it turned, it shrank by one point. In the end, the entire phantom had turned into a little aura.
This spiritual light seems to have consciousness, floating and rotating in mid-air, appearing very agile.
However, Liang Yan did not let it linger in mid-air. Instead, he used the technique with one hand, and the spiritual light obediently disappeared into the Baihui point above his head.
"The soul is complete!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly there were waves in his heart.
The Yuan Shen is the innate spiritual light. Once the Yuan Shen is completed, it is like a newborn baby.
The past decades flashed before his eyes like a fleeting horse. Only then did he realize that his journey of cultivation had just begun.
For a moment, Liang Yan felt in a daze that he had turned into a babbling baby again, staring at his big eyes and re-examining the nature of the world.
"Peace of mind, Shouichi!"
Liang Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Unknown things are indeed the most terrifying!"
He smiled, feeling the awakening soul in his body. Without any hesitation, he flicked his sleeve with his right hand, and there were five more jade boxes on the ground.
As a few spells were played, the lids of the five jade boxes were opened one by one, and five spiritual energies of different colors, gold, green, red, blue and yellow, flew out and circled and danced in the air, which looked really beautiful.
.
The second biggest difficulty in forming the elixir is to fuse the five Xuantian Qi in front of you with the Yuan Shen in your body.
This step is not only difficult, but also dangerous.
As long as you are not careful, you will hurt the soul. The soul can be called the "true self" by Taoists, and it is naturally the foundation of human beings. Once it is hurt, your cultivation will regress in the least, and the avenue will be destroyed in the worst case.
Liang Yan's face gradually became serious. At this point, he could no longer be as calm and calm as before.
He stared closely at the five spiritual energies in mid-air, and continued to shoot various magic spells with his right hand.
Under the guidance of the magic formula, the five spiritual energies that were originally free and flying around gradually gathered towards the center, and in the order of the five elements of gold, water, wood, fire and earth, they connected head to tail and slowly rotated.
.
Fusion of five Xuantian Qi and Yuanshen is several times more difficult than using only one pure Xuantian Qi. This is because during the fusion process, the person who forms the elixir must ensure that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and maintain an absolute balance.
Any ray of Xuantian's Qi that crosses the bottom line of balance will make all the previous efforts in forming the elixir useless, and will also damage the monk's soul.
This is also the reason why the fifth-turn golden elixir is several times more difficult to obtain than the third-turn golden elixir.
However, in comparison, the power of the Five Elements can be refined by forming the Xuantian Five Qi Golden Pill. In the future, the three top flowers can be condensed. The fighting power is much stronger than the Wugou Golden Pill.
Risk and return have always coexisted.
Having already reached this point, Liang Yan naturally would not flinch at all. He raised his hand and took the remaining roots on the ground with a single move.
The reason why "Lantian Fruit" can increase the probability of forming elixirs is because it can assist the fusion of the soul and external objects.
Whether it is the five qi of Xuantian or a pure qi of Xuantian, as long as it can be integrated with the soul, this Lantian fruit can exert its magical effects.
At this time, "Lantian Guo" seemed to have known his fate, and was dancing in the air, constantly resisting.
However, Liang Yan would not let it act recklessly. He just raised his hand and gently tapped it, and the root-like fruit turned into a faint light and was swallowed directly into his belly.
As the "Lantian Fruit" entered his stomach, the soul in Liang Yan's body gradually became void.
He now has a strange feeling, that is, if he wants to, he seems to be able to blend into everything around him and become a tree, a grass, or even a grain of sand.
"Everything is everywhere, nothing is tolerated, everything is included!"
Liang Yan seemed to have a bright mirror in his heart at this time, and the originally profound and difficult golden elixir avenue had been touched by him.
"It's now!"
Liang Yan pinched the magic formula, and the five-color spiritual energy slowly rotating in the air flew toward his Dantian one by one.
As these five spiritual energies entered his body one after another, spiritual lights of different colors also appeared outside Liang Yan's body.
The five colors of gold, green, red, blue, and yellow light shined brightly, illuminating the entire dark underground cave entrance as if it were daytime.
But inside Liang Yan's body, there was another scene at this moment.
I saw that the little spiritual light that his soul had transformed into was surrounded by five rays of Xuantian Qi. These five rays of spiritual Qi were slowly rotating, as if they were examining an uninvited guest. Neither party had the slightest intention of getting close.
"The Qi of the Five Elements is condensed on the base, and God and Qi combine to form a golden elixir. Combine it with me!"
Liang Yan's heart moved, and he pinched the magic formula with both hands. Under his guidance, the five spiritual energies finally slowly moved closer to his own soul.
Xuantian's Qi and Yuan Shen began to merge with each other, and a tearing pain came from the depths of his soul, making Liang Yan almost collapse and cry out.
This kind of pain is different from physical pain, but a kind of tremor deep in the soul. It can be said to be the limit that a cultivator can bear.
Liang Yan's face was a little distorted at this time, and the spiritual energy in his body was surging like boiling water, but it still didn't help.
However, he knew that this kind of pain must be experienced. Only under the obstruction of this kind of pain and completing the fusion of Yuan Shen and Xuantian Qi can he be reborn and one step closer to the golden elixir avenue!
Time passed bit by bit, and I don’t know how long it took.
The originally bright underground cave gradually dimmed again.
At this time, Liang Yan closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged in mid-air. His originally twisted face gradually relaxed, as if he was an old monk who was motionless in meditation.
But in his Dantian, there was a miniature version of Liang Yan, maintaining the same posture as him.
The only difference is that next to Liang Yan's shadow, there are five auras of different colors, slowly rotating around him.
These five auras have been completely integrated with his soul. There is no longer the feeling of mutual exclusion as before, and they are extremely balanced among each other. There is no distinction between who is stronger and who is weaker.
"Refining Qi to transform into God, combining God and Qi. I have already accomplished the second step of forming the elixir!"
In the darkness, Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air from his mouth.
The primordial spirit and the five qi merged. At this time, Liang Yan was closer to the essence of the five elements than ever before, taking his understanding of the great road one step closer.
"Now there's only one last step left."
The last of the three major difficulties in elixir formation is to use the physical body as the furnace and spiritual power as the flame to refine the fused soul into a real golden elixir.
This process is like a monk using an alchemy furnace to refine elixirs, except that he replaces the alchemy furnace with his own body.
It should be noted that the soul is inseparable from the physical body. When the body decays, the soul cannot survive forever. Therefore, everyone's physical body is an excellent furnace for forging the golden elixir.
At this last step, there is no magic pill or magic pill that can help. Success or failure depends entirely on your own qualifications, opportunities and perseverance.
If there are any clues to follow from the first two difficulties, then in this last step, there is no experience at all to learn from.
Because everyone's physique is different, the final process of forging the golden elixir is naturally very different, and other people's insights may be misleading to you.
Liang Yan knew very well that if he made one wrong move, he would lose everything. The closer he got to the last minute, the more cautious he became.
"The pearls fall in the Huangting Courtyard, hold the Yuan and keep it together, the body is a tripod, the spirit is not separated from the Qi, and the Qi is not separated from the Spirit."
As the magic formula quietly circulated, all three spiritual powers in Liang Yan's body had been mobilized.
And in the dantian, the phantom of the soul that had been integrated with Xuantian's five qi also began to rotate slowly, and finally turned into a colorful aura.
Every time the spiritual power in Liang Yan's body circulates for a large period of time, the spiritual light will be compressed by one point, and a prototype of the golden elixir will slowly appear in his dantian.
