Chapter 323 Without escaping the trap all is lost Red Peony will eventually form her Nascent Soul

Yu Xian paused for a moment upon seeing Zheng Huo’s rather mysterious expression and hearing his words.

Do you want to condense the Golden Elixir?

Isn’t that just stating the obvious…?

What Foundation Establishment cultivator would say they don’t want to condense their Golden Core?

But then Yu Xian’s expression changed, and he looked at Zheng Huo and asked, “Brother Dao, have you discovered something good?”

“Hehehe…”

Zheng Huo immediately laughed, his eyes shining as he looked at Yu Xian and said, “Brother, you’re so smart! I won’t lie to you, I did find a great place with a great opportunity that can increase the chances of condensing the Golden Core! But I’m only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, so it would be a waste to use it. That’s why I came to inform you as soon as possible!”

Yu Xian’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he carefully observed Zheng Huo’s excited expression, noticing the sincerity in Zheng Huo’s eyes.

He had truly discovered a wonderful place, and it would be a shame to use it himself, so he subconsciously thought of his brother and hurriedly came to find him, wanting to give it to him with sincerity!

There is no falsehood.

“Come in first and we’ll talk.”

With that thought in mind, Yu Xian immediately said something and pulled Zheng Huo into the courtyard.

After closing the door and activating the formation, Yu Xian looked at Zheng Huo with a frown and said, “Brother Dao, this place of yours… um… good place, your master didn’t tell you about it, did he?”

Yu Xian wasn’t stupid. Zheng Huo had already become Li Ce Xuan’s disciple, so Li Ce Xuan probably wouldn’t do anything to Zheng Huo.

But he might very well use his relationship with Zheng Huo to do something to me!

Therefore, this so-called good place is very likely a trap set by Li Cexuan.

If I go there, I will have no chance of winning against Li Cexuan, who is in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and I won’t even be able to escape!

Unless the divine consciousness left behind by King Zheng Cheng within one’s sea of ​​consciousness is used.

“How would my master know? Of course, he didn’t tell me.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Huo looked surprised and waved his hand, saying, “That was after I obtained the Mirror of Radiant Light…”

It turns out that after Zheng Huo obtained the Mirror of Radiant Light, he spent two years comprehending the complete Chaoyang Caixia Technique from it.

At the same time, he also received a message left by the predecessor who passed down the Chaoyang Caixia Technique.

That was a secret realm, reserved for future generations who obtained this complete technique for cultivation.

Its secret realm contains several insights from the predecessors, among which the most important one is the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds, which can help juniors who have reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to increase their chances of comprehending the rules of heaven and earth and increase their chances of successfully condensing the core!

Then Zheng Huo spent two months making a special trip and found that the information was indeed correct; there really was a secret realm left behind by that senior!

He originally intended to use the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment, but suddenly he thought that his brother Yu Xian had already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment for many years. If he gave the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds to Yu Xian, it might be able to directly help Yu Xian reach the Golden Core stage!

As for myself, I’m not in a hurry to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment a few years earlier or later.

Of course, he had initially thought that it would be better to wait until he had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment before coming here, so that he could break through with the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds and step into the Golden Core he had always dreamed of.

However, once the seal on the power of the morning sun and colorful clouds was broken, the power began to dissipate, and it would completely dissipate within six months at most.

Under such circumstances, time was of the essence. He hurried back to find Yu Xian and asked Yu Xian to absorb the essence, which might be the opportunity for Yu Xian to condense his golden core!

That’s why he disturbed Yu Xian, who was in seclusion.

Zheng Huo did not hide anything from the whole process, and even revealed all his thoughts.

Finally, he looked at Yu Xian solemnly and said, “So brother, please don’t stand on ceremony. I’ve thought this through carefully. This opportunity is for you. Once you reach the Golden Core stage, with you by my side, my cultivation path will be incredibly smooth!”

With Yu Xian’s aptitude and strength, once he truly enters the Golden Core stage, he will be a tremendous support. There’s no need to deny it or blush about it; Zheng Huo can rely on his own brother without any qualms.

Yu Xian’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Zheng Huo’s words were not a lie; they must be true.

The power of the rising sun and colorful clouds… increases the chances of comprehending the rules of heaven and earth…

However, by relying on the rules of heaven and earth to comprehend and condense the elixir, one can achieve a perfect golden elixir without the aid of external forces!

This is a good opportunity.

Fate is beyond human control. Although I have decided to spend ten years cultivating and intend to complete the Lesser Elixir Body before comprehending the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir.

But now that the time is right, there’s no need to worry about anything else.

Just like when you first entered the Foundation Establishment stage after reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation, when the time was right and your understanding deepened, you would naturally have to immediately go into seclusion to break through!

They couldn’t even consider the huge vulnerability and danger of letting spirit beasts roam freely.

As for his relationship with Zheng Huo, there’s no need to elaborate. Since Zheng Huo came to him to offer him this opportunity, he should accept it.

Therefore, Yu Xian’s heart stirred, and he was about to agree.

Before he could speak, his mind suddenly shifted, and his reply became: “Brother Dao, your master also knows about the Morning Sun and Colorful Clouds Technique, right?”

“Forehead.”

Zheng Huo was surprised that Yu Xian would suddenly ask this question.

He paused for a moment, then looked embarrassed and said, “To be honest, my master took me as his disciple… actually for my Morning Sun Rainbow Technique. Naturally, I can’t hide it, so he knows about this technique… But he’s been good to me. He’s always given me guidance, bestowed precious spirit stones, and allowed me to cultivate in the sacred ground of Martial Arts Peak. He’s never been stingy with anything…”

“He knows…”

Yu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He exhaled softly and looked at Zheng Huo, saying, “The power of the Morning Sun and Rainbow Clouds was left to its inheritor by a certain senior. Naturally, only those who have studied the Morning Sun and Rainbow Clouds Technique can obtain the greatest benefit. Brother, you should go and absorb and comprehend it quickly. I don’t need it. As for the Golden Core, I am already confident. I cannot waste this opportunity of yours, Brother.”

“this……”

Seeing Yu Xian refuse, Zheng Huo looked troubled and urged again, “Brother, how can it be a waste for you to use it? I have received so much help from you, so this opportunity should be given to you. Even if you don’t become a Golden Core cultivator, it can still help you take another step forward on the path to Core Formation!”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “No need, you should go. If you go, this opportunity is definitely yours. If I go, neither of us will get it. Don’t underestimate those powerful predecessors who left behind their inheritances. Unless they did it on purpose, how could they let non-inheritors get what they left behind? Right?”

“Oh well!”

Seeing Yu Xian’s determination, Zheng Huo stopped trying to persuade him and solemnly said, “Since you are confident in condensing your core, brother, I won’t say any more. I’m off!”

After saying that, he stepped out of the courtyard and quickly disappeared into the distance.

The power of the rising sun and colorful clouds within that secret realm was dissipating, and he had to hurry over to absorb it; there was no time to lose.

Yu Xian stood with his hands behind his back, watching him leave from the doorway. Then he turned his gaze to the distant Martial Arts Peak, his expression calm.

Yu Xian couldn’t be sure whether this was a trap set by Li Cexuan.

But regardless of whether he is or not, as long as he doesn’t go, everything will be over. No matter how many traps you set, if I don’t go, you can only watch helplessly.

As for the power of the rising sun and colorful clouds that increases the chances of comprehending the rules of heaven and earth, it did not belong to him to begin with.

Even if it were true and there were no traps, it would still be an opportunity for Zheng Huo, and Yu Xian would naturally not be jealous, yearn for, or feel sorry for him.

“I will explain to you after I reach the Golden Core stage.”

Looking towards the Martial Arts Peak, Yu Xian whispered something, then waved his hand to close the courtyard gate, activated the formation again, and returned to the main hall.

Disturbed by Zheng Huo, the Great Elixir Body Refining Technique had been completely halted, and further practice now would yield little result.

Now that everything had stopped, Yu Xian stopped cultivating, sat cross-legged, took out a pill formula, and began to read it.

This is the recipe for the Sword Spirit Pill.

This Sword Spirit Pill is very profound; Yu Xian had only grasped about 40-50% of it before.

However, upon his return, he received instruction in alchemy from Hong Shao for over ten days. Coupled with his own comprehension, he now feels a sense of sudden enlightenment when looking at the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill. Many things that he couldn’t understand before have now become clear.

Looking back, two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The three-year period of seclusion has now come to an end.

But Yu Xian wasn’t in a hurry to leave seclusion, since there wasn’t much to do after leaving.

Three years was just a vague timeline he set.

As for completing the task of refining pills in the hall, whether you go at the beginning or end of the year, it all falls within the year.

Even if he didn’t go, no one would say anything.

He continued to study the Sword Spirit Pill, and ten months passed in the blink of an eye.

He secluded himself for three years and ten months.

On this day, Yu Xian suddenly put away the pill formula, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

“The Spirit Sword Pill… The person who created this pill is truly a genius, I admire them!”

The perfect combination of alchemy and weapon crafting: Yu Xian’s refinement of this Spirit Sword Pill not only enhances his alchemy skills but also greatly improves his weapon crafting abilities!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xian suddenly waved his hand, and the crimson furnace flew out and landed in front of him.

Once you understand something, you won’t hesitate!

Yu Xian immediately began refining the Spirit Sword Pill that he had just comprehended!

As for the materials, he had already gathered them all.

Flames suddenly erupted!

This was the first time Yu Xian had refined the Sword Spirit Pill, a rare and precious elixir. His gaze was solemn, and his mind was focused. He dared not relax even for a moment.

Various materials flew out, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, birds soaring, and insects dancing.

Yu Xian waved his hands, and four vines appeared behind him to assist him.

The difficulty in refining this Sword Spirit Pill lies not in stimulating its medicinal properties or in the large quantity required.

Rather, it is a clever fusion of alchemical herbs and crafting materials.

The difference between the two is quite significant.

The temperature required for herbs is very low for refining materials.

However, the temperature required for refining weapons can quickly burn away herbs.

Therefore, finding a balance between the two is the most difficult part.

But Yu Xian, who has already thoroughly understood the formula, can naturally find it.

Even if the process is difficult, even if it’s like dancing on a knife’s edge, he will eventually find it and do it!

The flames rose and fell, the heat suddenly surged and then dropped.

This continued for a full hour. Yu Xian, his forehead covered in sweat, suddenly raised his hand and pointed: “Done!”

sulfuric acid!

A sword’s cry resounded within the alchemy furnace, then vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed!

Then a sky-blue, seemingly transparent sword pellet slowly flew out of the furnace, spinning around. It looked like a magic weapon, but it was actually a pill.

A faint wisp of sword energy emanated from it.

Spirit Sword Pill!

Yu Xian raised his hand and summoned the Spirit Sword Pill, which flew into his hand. He sensed a familiar sword intent emanating from it.

Although Yu Xian was not a sword cultivator, he had studied the Azure Spirit Sword Technique, which was the first chapter of the Azure Sea and Azure Sky Sword Technique.

Therefore, the spirit sword pill he refined was indeed imbued with some of his sword intent.

The blue sea and sky, the sword intent is not sharp and killing, but vast and boundless.

“It’s acceptable.”

Yu Xian glanced at it and knew that this Spirit Sword Pill was of high quality, not top quality, so it could only be described as acceptable.

With a flick of his wrist, Yu Xian put away the Spirit Sword Pill, stood up, and with a wave of his hand, put away Yun Zhonglu and Xiao Fengmao. He then walked out of the courtyard and headed straight for Yuanjian Peak.

Now that the Spirit Sword Pill has been refined, it is natural to send it to Hua Yuandu. After all, it has already taken up a lot of his time, and it would be inappropriate to wait for him to come and collect it.

The Haotian Sect was jointly established by cultivators from the other six major immortal sects who came to join them.

Those cultivators from other immortal sects who came to join them, whether they were at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Condensation stage, could integrate into the inner and outer sect disciples.

However, those who reach the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage, as well as many talented disciples, must have their own place of cultivation.

Thus, Yuanjian Peak, Kuiling Peak, and Yuhua Peak came into being.

As for the cultivators from Medicine King Valley, they went directly to the Alchemy Sect.

However, there is no Baiyun Peak here.

Back then, the White Cloud Sect was the weakest of the six great immortal sects. It was besieged by four Nascent Soul cultivators, dozens of Golden Core cultivators, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and tens of thousands of Qi Condensation cultivators!

As a result, the casualties were heavy, with one of the two Nascent Soul cultivators dying in battle.

Most of the survivors surrendered to the Blood River Sect, a small number became independent cultivators, and very few cultivators came to the Haotian Sect to seek refuge.

As for Feng Tianxiang, the Nascent Soul expert who escaped, it is unknown whether he was killed in the pursuit or hid due to severe injuries. He has not yet sought refuge with the Haotian Sect, hence there is no Baiyun Peak.

Yu Xian arrived at the foot of Yuanjian Peak. Looking at the towering mountain, he took a few steps forward and said with a faint smile, “Yu Xian from the Alchemy Sect has come to pay a visit.”

“Yu Xian?”

Several disciples from Yuanjian Peak emerged from the mountain peak upon hearing the sound. They glanced at Yu Xian, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Yu Xian’s reputation goes without saying; it has already spread throughout the entire Haotian Sect!

The Fourth Holy Son, a master alchemist, possesses immense strength that no one dares to underestimate!

The three disciples of Yuanjian Peak exchanged glances. One of them cupped his hands in greeting to Yu Xian and said, “So it is the Holy Son Yu of the Alchemy Sect. May I ask what brings you to Yuanjian Peak today?”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “I dare not accept the title of Holy Son. I have come today to visit Holy Son Hua Yuandu. Please convey my message.”

“Oh? Visiting the senior brother?”

The man’s expression shifted, and he turned to look at a cultivator beside him, gesturing to him.

The monk immediately nodded, turned around, and quickly walked up the mountain.

The man then looked at Yu Xian and said with a smile, “Please wait a moment, Holy Son Yu. I have already asked my junior brother to inform our senior brother.”

Thank you.

Yu Xian bowed slightly, then smiled faintly, stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a sky-blue robe, looking extraordinary.

About half an incense stick later, a loud laugh suddenly came down from the mountain.

“Oh my! Master Yu, the Grand Alchemist of the Alchemy Sect! The Fourth Saint Yu has actually graced my Yuanjian Peak with his presence today?! Yuanjian Peak is truly honored! Even the sword energy has increased by thirty percent!”

The voice carried an exaggerated tone; it was Hua Yuandu’s laughter.

Yu Xian immediately laughed and said, “Not at all, not at all. In my opinion, the strength of the sword energy of Yuanjian Peak is due to the unparalleled genius sword cultivator Hua Shengzi!”

“You’re too kind! I believe that Saint Yu is an unparalleled alchemist and a cultivation genius whose future achievements are limitless!”

“How dare I! Hua Shengzi is a heaven-defying swordsman. One day, when he wields his sword, he will surely be invincible!”

“Hahaha! Wahahahaha…!”

The voices on the mountain could no longer contain themselves and burst into wild, monkey-like laughter.

The two cultivators were stunned for a moment, slightly embarrassed. They looked at each other and then quickly dispersed.

But then he saw Hua Yuandu laughing loudly, striding down the mountain like a sword beam, and quickly arriving in front of Yu Xian.

“Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, how come your cultivation level hasn’t improved?”

Hua Yuan looked Yu Xian up and down, a smug look on his face, and said, “I have completely stabilized my Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and now I’m going to prepare to break through to the Golden Core stage!”

“You’re a peerless genius, I can’t compare.”

Yu Xian smiled, flipped his hand, took out a medicine bottle, and said bluntly, “I’ve already refined the Sword Spirit Pill, and I’m bringing it to you on my way.”

“Sword Spirit Pill?”

Hua Yuandu’s eyes gleamed, and he quickly reached out to take it. After opening it and glancing at it, his face lit up with joy. He looked up at Yu Xian and said, “You’re really something! You actually succeeded! Come on, let’s not cultivate today, let’s have a good drink!”

“Alright.”

After nearly four years of continuous meditation, cultivation, and alchemy, Yu Xian was naturally exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Since Hua Yuandu said so, he had no reason to refuse. He might as well go up the mountain with him and have a few drinks instead of doing what Hua Yuandu was thinking!

A balance of tension and relaxation is the way of spiritual practice.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Hua Yuandu was all smiles, and immediately led Yu Xian up the mountain.

But just as the two had walked a hundred feet or so, a sudden aura descended from the sky and pressed down on their heads!

At that moment, not only the two of them, but everyone in the entire Haotian Sect instantly felt the oppressive aura!

The rules of heaven and earth have descended!?

“Um?”

“oh?”

Yu Xian and Hua Yuan were both startled. Following the aura, they turned to look at the alchemy peak in the distance!

The oppressive aura was emanating from within the Alchemy Peak!

“This is……”

Yu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them!

The red peony is about to form a nascent soul!?
