At this stage, Lin Mo still needs to find and collect a variety of auxiliary materials. The main raw material is poisonous grass to refine several combination-level elixirs.
Although the value of other materials is not worth mentioning compared to the poisonous grass, they are all extremely rare items in the spiritual world.
Therefore, it does take considerable effort to collect all the materials required for alchemy.
In addition, in order to cope with the great catastrophe that occurs every three thousand years, he also needs to refine the Taiyi Green Mountain obtained in the Guanghan Realm into one of the Extreme Mountains.
Although its power cannot be compared with the real Yuanhe Wuji Mountain, it still has a certain effectiveness in cooperating with Yuanciji Mountain to resist the catastrophe.
At the same time, the obtained Xuling Pill also needs to find the corresponding method of use.
Only in this way can he take it with peace of mind and know when it is most appropriate to take it.
In addition, due to the great enhancement of his spiritual thoughts after practicing the art of divine refining and advancing to the realm of integration, he was unable to immediately control tens of thousands of gold-eating insects.
But releasing about a thousand gold-eating bugs at once is enough to last for a period of time.
There are so many mature gold-eating insects, which are undoubtedly a frightening and powerful weapon. Even ordinary combined beings will feel deeply afraid of them.
Based on the above reasons, he decided to use the Feihongyu inner elixir in his hand to prepare the legendary "Colorful Elixir".
Under the synergistic effect of the ancient elixir and the leaves of Golden Thunder Bamboo, it may be possible to promote the evolution or mutation of the original mature gold-eating insect.
Recalling the past, he once used a strange stone material to mutate a small number of gold-eating insects.
However, apart from causing these gold-eating bugs to become unusually heavy, this mutation did not exhibit any eye-catching special effects, which he deeply regretted.
As for the gold-eating insect king mentioned by Qing Yuanzi, which even true immortals would shy away from, it was too far away for him. Even if he wanted to cultivate it, he didn't know where to start, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
However, whether it is to control more gold-eating insects or to prepare in advance for future bottleneck breakthroughs, the practice of the second level of divine refining is indispensable.
Judging from the current situation, he has met the requirements in terms of the strength of his spiritual thoughts, but he is still insufficient in terms of physical strength. He must wait for the completion of the Brahma Saint's True Demonic Art in the later stages of integration before he can barely meet the requirements.
Before that, he can try to use some external means to improve his physical quality.
For example, Hongluotian wine has the miraculous effect of gradually improving physical fitness and can be mixed and drank in advance.
Of course, those talismans and mysterious starry sky maps from the fairy world also require time to be studied in depth. Lin Mo was silently calculating in his heart, and the whole person fell into deep thought...
In the next year, Lin Mo always stayed in the Rising Sun Peak Cave and devoted himself to consolidating his magic power and state of mind.
However, the outside world was plunged into chaos due to the news that he had successfully advanced to the combined state.
Many forces in the surrounding areas are ready to take advantage of the situation and seek benefits.
Fortunately, these forces all know that a monk who has just broken through the bottleneck will definitely need to practice in seclusion in the first year.
Therefore, they acted very wisely during this period and did not send anyone to disturb Lin Mo's practice.
However, when the one-year period expired, someone finally couldn't restrain their inner impulse and decided to take action.
On this day, a tall, thin-framed old man stepped onto the edge of the Sea of Fog.
He was wearing a blue robe, with a jade-green Ruyi hanging from his waist. He stood steadily on a nearby mountain top, staring into the depths of the misty sea of fog, with an extremely indifferent expression on his face.
Suddenly, the old man's sight turned to the sky behind him, and he saw a dazzling bright light flashing at the end of the distant sky, followed by an astonishing silver rainbow that was more than ten feet long.
The sound of breaking through the sky was deafening, and the speed of the silver rainbow was jaw-dropping. In just a few blinks of an eye, it was already approaching, and it was about to rush into the sea of fog.
However, at this moment, a soft "eh" sound came from the air. Although the volume was not loud, it was clearly transmitted to the old man's ears.
Hearing this exclamation, the old man's expression couldn't help but change.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the silver rainbow making a gorgeous rotation in the air, then suddenly speeding towards the top of the mountain where the old man was.
In a flash of silver light, a graceful figure appeared more than ten feet in front of the old man.
This person turned out to be a young woman with a fair face and a beautiful face wearing a blue palace dress.
There was no abnormal aura emanating from her body, and she had a faint smile on her face, just like the Xiaojiabiyu that can be seen everywhere in the secular world.
"Fairy Xiaofeng! I really didn't expect that as an important figure in the Gu family, you would actually come here in person."
When the old man in green robe saw this woman, his eyes flashed and he spoke slowly.
"It turns out to be Elder Qi from Tianyuan City. Are you here this time for the senior from Rising Sun Peak?"
The woman's eyes moved, she bowed slightly, and asked politely.
"Haha, Tianyuan City is only a few months away from here. Everything that happens here has naturally spread throughout the city."
"Other members of the Presbyterian Church are practicing in seclusion or going out to do business, but I, an old man, have to go there in person. I guess the head of the Gu family came here with the same purpose as me, right?"
The old man in green robe raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a slight smile, and replied in a rather respectful tone.
"Elder Qi has a keen eye! In fact, as early as a year ago, an elder of our Gu family had already had contact with the seniors of Rising Sun Peak."
"However, who could have expected that less than a year later, the senior would break through to the combined stage. Therefore, the junior will naturally come here to visit in person."
The woman explained with a smile.
"As far as I know, in a few years, your family's True Spirit Ceremony will be held every three thousand years. No wonder you are so eager to improve the strength of the Gu family."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But for the fellow Taoist from Rising Sun Peak, if he really reaches the state of integration, then I am afraid that the younger generation will not be able to give up his love easily."
"After all, we already lost two elders when the aliens attacked Tianyuan City last time. With the addition of the other two elders, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the next great catastrophe, and we are in urgent need of new fusion-stage Taoist friends to join us."
The old man in green robe shook his head, saying that he would not compromise easily.
"I see. However, this matter is related to the honor of our Gu family in the True Spirit Ceremony, and the younger generation cannot give up easily." The woman frowned and sighed helplessly.
"Haha, how can a monk in the integration stage be easily persuaded to join a certain force? Maybe our trip this time will end in failure. Let's wait until we meet that fellow Taoist before we make plans."
The old man smiled softly and said nonchalantly.
"That's true. If that's the case, then I and Elder Qi will go together to pay homage to that senior." The woman nodded slightly in agreement.
The old man in green robe had no objection to this.
The two people turned into escaping light, and in an instant they were in mid-air at the edge of the sea of fog.
The old man in green robe took a deep breath, and a loud and powerful voice suddenly sounded in his mouth:
"Qi Xubing from Tianyuan City and Fairy Xiaofeng from the Gu family are here to pay their respects!"
The old man's words turned into a mysterious spiritual power that floated leisurely above the sea of fog, echoing for a long time above the sea of fog with a radius of hundreds of miles.
At this time, Lin Mo, who was closing his eyes to rest in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes, and his face showed a solemn look.
However, he immediately stretched out his right hand and held it in the air, and a Dharma plate as white as snow quietly appeared in his hand.
He quickly pointed at the Dharma plate with his fingers and opened his lips slightly. At the same time, Lin Mo's calm voice immediately came from the edge of the fog sea where the two old men in green robes were:
"It turns out that two Taoist friends came to the humble residence. Lin is in seclusion for cultivation and cannot greet them immediately. I kindly ask the two Taoists to move to the lower cave to rest for a while. Lin will come out to greet them in person later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of fog below suddenly billowed, and a passage several feet wide suddenly appeared.
After the green-robed old man and Fairy Xiaofeng looked at each other, they stepped into it one after the other without hesitation.
After only a moment, they arrived at the top of the mountain and lowered the escape light in front of the cave door on the mountainside.
The door of Lin Mo's cave had already been opened, and the old man and the young woman immediately stepped inside. After a while, they took their seats in a simple hall.
Immediately afterwards, an expressionless woman in white held a tea tray and served them two cups of fragrant spiritual tea, and then stood quietly aside.
The old man in green robe and the young woman didn't pay attention at first, but when their consciousness casually passed over the woman in white, they were both shocked.
"Senior Qi, are you wrong? This woman seems to be a puppet."
The young woman asked in a low voice with some confusion.
"Indeed, it is indeed a puppet, and judging from its aura, it should be at the Void Refining level. However, what is quite strange is that it does not seem to be controlled by anyone, but acts on its own."
The old man in green robes had sharp eyes and discovered details that the young woman had not yet noticed. When the young woman heard this, you can imagine the shock in her heart.
However, just when she wanted to take a closer look at the woman in white again, light footsteps came from outside the hall, and a young man in his twenties walked in with steady steps.
The young woman's eyes quickly turned to the young man, and then she immediately stood up and gave him a slight salute.
"Senior has successfully advanced to the integration stage. On behalf of the Gu family, I would like to congratulate my senior on his successful meritorious deeds."
The old man in green robe on the other side also stood up with a smile, cupped his fists and said in greeting:
"My dear, Qi Xubing, currently serves as the elder of Tianyuan City. I am fortunate to have met fellow Taoist."
"The two fellow Taoists are too polite! Lin has just entered the integration stage and needs to consolidate his cultivation, so he is unable to go out to greet you in person. I hope that the two fellow Taoists will take care of you."
Lin Mo smiled slightly and returned the same salute.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, this is the time to consolidate your cultivation. How could Qi not know that?"
The old man stroked his beard and responded with a smile. Then, the three of them exchanged a few polite words and took their seats in order of status.
"Excuse Lin for being so abrupt. When I learned that you had advanced to merge, my initial reaction was almost unbelievable."
"Not long ago, Elder Gu Yun of our family just returned and clearly told us that your cultivation is still in the stage of refining. However, in just one year, your cultivation has reached such an astonishing level."
The young woman from the Gu family recounted with emotion.
"Haha, in fact, at that moment, Lin had already begun to break through the bottleneck. However, both Taoist friends also knew that the chance of advanced integration was extremely slim. Going against the current, Lin did not expect that he could successfully break through this time. It was not the case at the beginning.
I deliberately concealed something from fellow Taoist Gu Yun."
Lin Mo had a look of guilt on his face.
"How dare I, this junior, complain about this? Seniors, breaking through the bottleneck of integration is a matter of life and death, so it is natural to be cautious." The young woman replied with a smile.
"When I broke through the bottleneck of integration, I also chose an extremely remote location. My thoughts were quite similar to those of Fellow Daoist Lin." The old man in green robe also added with a smile.
After hearing this, Lin Mo naturally responded with a smile.
Afterwards, the three of them stopped talking about this topic and chatted about other topics casually.
Lin Mo's rich experience of walking alone between two continents in his early years, and his extensive knowledge and knowledge, naturally need no elaboration.
As for the old man and the young woman, one is the head of the True Spirit Family, and the other is a monk who has been in advanced integration for many years. Their knowledge is naturally extraordinary.
After a heart-warming conversation, the three of them actually had a great time chatting with each other, and the distance between them seemed to have become much closer in an instant.
Both the old man and the young woman felt suddenly enlightened.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I just heard what you said. You have a very thorough understanding of the affairs of foreign races. Many of them have not even been recorded in the human race's classics, and they also involve various deeds in other continents. Could it be that you have traveled to other continents?
"
The old man finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked.
"That's true. Fellow Daoist Qi has a unique vision! In fact, I just recently returned from the wilderness, and I also had a muddle-headed trip to a foreign continent." Lin Mo answered frankly without any intention of hiding anything.
However, when the old man in green robe and the young woman heard this, they couldn't help but gasped.
Fairy Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, and then said with some hesitation:
"It's no wonder that with your cultivation and magical powers, this junior has never heard of your name before. It turns out that you have been practicing outside and have only recently returned to your clan. However, according to Elder Yun, you once mentioned that you are as famous as our True Spirit Family.
Ye family and Long family. This reminds me of something, I wonder if I should report it to you."
"Oh? What is going on? Fellow Taoist, please speak frankly!" Lin Mo said calmly.
"Since the senior has given such an order, the junior has the courage to speak out. Forgive the offence, junior. After Elder Gu Yun told me about your matter, I became very interested in it and spent some manpower and material resources to conduct relevant investigations."
