Chapter 328 Ancient Tree and Green Vine Cave Heaven Only I the Golden Core of Heaven and Earth

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian opened his mouth and gave a bitter smile.

I know it, and you know it too, so saying it out loud would be counterproductive.

Therefore, it’s better not to say anything…

Ultimately, it all started with Ouyang Yuan’s conspiracy!

The lives of four or five thousand Qi Condensation cultivators should all be Ouyang Yuan’s responsibility!

Yu Xian let out a soft breath, regained his composure, straightened up, and said no more.

Hong Shao then raised her hand and pointed forward!

boom!

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from her body, empowering the flower basket. Thousands upon thousands of flowers on the basket shot out simultaneously, instantly sweeping across all directions and the world!

This is the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator. With Yu Xian’s current cultivation level, he simply cannot comprehend such power!

The immense power reverberated in all directions, and the nascent soul’s might moved mountains and filled seas, causing the entire island to tremble!

The next moment, the island returned to normal, and the foundation of the nameless illusion array was severed, thus completely dissipating.

When Ouyang Yuan broke out of the formation, he should have been able to destroy it as well.

However, perhaps because he had just been possessed and was too weak, or perhaps because he was afraid of being suppressed, he immediately fled as soon as he was freed, without any intention of destroying the formation or venting his anger.

Therefore, the formation still exists.

However, this formation relies entirely on the power of the entire island.

Without array artifacts, without a master array master, and with more than ten thousand years having passed, the great array was already unstable. Therefore, even if it was an array set up by a Nascent Soul expert, Hong Shao could break it in one fell swoop!

The two were instantly transported back to the real world.

The next moment, the flower basket suddenly soared into the air, reaching a height of ten thousand feet, and like a shooting star, headed straight for the Haotian Sect.

This matter is now concluded.

Hong Shao and Yu Xian may have come for nothing and not gained any opportunities, but in fact they both perfected their Dao hearts and gained great benefits!

Especially for Yu Xian, whose cultivation level is currently low but whose Dao heart is already perfect, the benefits for the future are immeasurable.

If he were to face this flawed Dao Heart again when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it would likely be a great calamity that would sever his path of cultivation!

As cultivation progresses, geniuses become increasingly stratified. Through elimination and selection, those who can gather together are all of similar talent and comprehension; they are all chosen ones, the most outstanding geniuses!

At this point, aptitude and comprehension are no longer the most crucial factors.

More importantly, it’s about the Dao heart!

Therefore, low-level cultivators compete on aptitude, mid-level cultivators on comprehension, and high-level cultivators on their Dao heart!

As for those who go even higher, the legendary level of immortals is about understanding the mysteries of heaven and earth, the vastness of the universe, which is to say, their understanding of the Dao!

Therefore, for those above the Nascent Soul stage, the importance of their Daoist heart surpasses everything else.

Although Hong Shao only faced the fear of her inner demons when she reached the Nascent Soul Realm, she was able to break through with Yu Xian’s help. She can be considered to have achieved the perfection of her Dao Heart and has a promising future.

However, thanks to Yu Xian’s help, this perfection can only be considered a pseudo-perfection.

Because of Yu Xian’s “help,” it might become a source of inner demons for her in the future…

This is the true explanation of the unpredictable nature of inner demons.

They remained silent the entire way.

On the way back, Hongshao began to exert all her power. The flower basket shimmered with precious light, and in an instant, she traveled thousands of miles, returning to Xiaokunshan from the South China Sea in just one day.

Ahead, the majestic Haotian Mountain stood tall and imposing. Hong Shao descended to the foot of the mountain, waved her hand, and put away the flower basket, saying, “You should go back now. I need to go to the Qintian Palace.”

“Yes, this disciple will take his leave.”

Yu Xian nodded, said no more, and took a step forward, heading straight up the mountain.

Hong Shao watched Yu Xian’s departing figure, her gaze thoughtful. After a moment, she calmed down, turned to look at Jufeng, her eyes turned cold, and she too transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the main peak of Haotian Sect.

The round trip to Shengxian Island took more than a month, but it was nothing.

Yu Xian has now reached the pinnacle of both physical and magical cultivation, and it is time for him to truly comprehend and condense his golden core!

However, Yu Xian did not go back directly, but instead headed straight for the Alchemy Sect.

This is my third time refining pills, and it will also be my last!

This time, Yu Xian’s term of office is one year.

A year later, he will go into seclusion to comprehend the Great Dao of the Golden Core!

If one cannot comprehend the Golden Core Qi within eight years, one will be unable to make the Heavenly Rules descend.

Whether it’s infant blood or Golden Essence Pill, Yu Xian won’t hold back and will swallow them directly, using the power of external objects to condense the Golden Essence Pill!

“Greetings, Holy Son Senior Brother!”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Holy Son.”

“Greetings, Holy Son Senior Brother!”

…

As Yu Xian ascended the Alchemy Peak, he was greeted with endless respectful words from all around. Despite having been in seclusion for four years, Yu Xian’s influence remained as strong as ever.

Yu Xian nodded with a smile, and without slowing down, quickly returned to the alchemy hall.

A moment later.

The news that Yu Xian, the fourth Holy Son’s senior brother and a great alchemist, had emerged from four years of seclusion and would be refining pills again spread quickly.

This is the last time Yu Xian will sit in the hall to refine pills, and he will not slack off.

Such continuous alchemy for a whole year is truly a testament to Chen Manman’s protection of her.

He was worthy of his title as the Grand Alchemist of the Alchemy Sect.

On the high platform of the alchemy hall, Yu Xian sat cross-legged, looked around, and said: “Fellow Daoists and fellow disciples, from today onwards, I will be refining pills for a year. If any of you have high-grade fourth-rank or medium-grade fifth-rank pills, you can ask me to refine them. I will still refine two pills a day. After a year, I will be comprehending the Great Dao of Golden Core. After that, I will not have the time or energy to refine pills for you. Please forgive me.”

Upon hearing this, everyone around looked shocked.

Not to mention the shock of Yu Xian having to sit in the clinic for a year.

It is said that after he finishes his meditation session, he will comprehend the Great Dao of Golden Core and break through to the Golden Core Realm, which is quite alarming!

How long has he been a member of the Haotian Sect?

Almost everyone knows about Yu Xian’s background now!

Seventeen years ago, he came to Haotian Sect with Elder Hongshao. At that time, he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Seventeen years later, Elder Hongshao had already entered the Nascent Soul stage! She had become the Ninth Supreme Elder of the Haotian Sect!

Yu Xian, on the other hand, has also grown into a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage!

And now, he’s actually about to break through to the Golden Core stage?

This talent, this comprehension… it’s truly terrifying!

Everyone looked at each other, and finally bowed to Yu Xian in unison, saying, “Wishing our Holy Son Senior Brother a successful Core Formation!”

Yu Xian raised his hand in return and smiled, “Thank you all for your kind intentions. But it’s too early for this. Let’s focus on refining the pills. Which fellow Daoist would like to go first?”

“The Feathered Peak is teeming with nectar; I trouble Saint Yu to refine the pills…”

One person immediately stepped forward.

The alchemy practice begins again.

Day after day, I envied Yu Xian sitting on the high platform refining elixirs.

The first four months were quite busy, with two pills a day without interruption.

However, starting from the fifth month, things weren’t so busy anymore.

By the seventh month, it was only every two or three days to refine one batch of pills.

It wasn’t that he was lazy or unwilling to refine pills, but rather that there weren’t as many people seeking them anymore.

Yu Xian’s dedication to refining pills was unprecedented, even in the history of the Haotian Sect and the Xuantian Sect!

A master alchemist is bound to have a temper and a personality; no one will truly follow the rules.

But for him to sit like this for a year is really… a bit too dedicated!

He spent six or seven months refining all the pills needed by all the Foundation Establishment disciples of Haotian Sect!

As a result, no one needed fourth-grade or even fifth-grade precious pills anymore.

Of course, the more fourth-grade and fifth-grade precious pills the better, but Yu Xian’s alchemy practice is not a business; it is a mission he is fulfilling for the alchemy sect.

So if you come to him asking for elixirs, he will refine them for you, saving you a lot of trouble.

However, once you’ve asked for the treatment, you won’t be able to ask again for it in a short period of time.

Otherwise, wouldn’t you be using Yu Xian as a tool for alchemy?

This period is one year.

Within a year, the same person cannot request alchemy twice.

The Haotian Sect has several hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, but they require high-grade fourth-tier or even fifth-tier pills for cultivation, and only about two hundred of them have broken through to the next level.

So Yu Xian, a pill-refining fanatic who refined two pills a day for seven months straight, quickly depleted his inventory.

In the last five months, people came seeking pills sporadically, and Yu Xian would occasionally refine one. He was quite leisurely, and the time passed by without him realizing it.

After a year of sitting in the alchemy hall refining pills, Yu Xian’s understanding of alchemy has increased considerably.

If it weren’t for the limitations imposed by his cultivation level, Yu Xian felt he could refine a fifth-grade superior pill, and even try his hand at a sixth-grade pill.

However, feelings are just feelings; he won’t try anything unless he’s 70% sure.

He hasn’t even thoroughly reviewed the first, second, third, and fourth-tier pills yet, so there’s no need to aim too high.

On the same day of the same month of the second year, no one asked for pills. When the time was up, Yu Xian stood up and said, “Everyone, the year is up, and I will end my session.”

Although the people around him have changed batch after batch, Yu Xian, being a serious and upright person, has been refining pills in his hall for a year, solving the urgent problems of too many Foundation Establishment disciples!

Such a competent and unpretentious alchemist is extremely rare!

Therefore, the way these people looked at Yu Xian changed from initial awe to even greater respect!

They truly respected Yu Xian, the great alchemist!

The people in the hall bowed deeply to Yu Xian: “Thank you for your kindness in sitting in the hall for a year, Holy Son Senior Brother!”

Yu Xian returned the greeting and said with a faint smile, “Fellow Daoists, there’s no need for such formalities. This is my duty, not a favor. You don’t need to take it to heart. I still need to go into seclusion. Farewell.”

Yu Xian had said a year ago that after finishing his term as a physician, he would go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm, so there was no need to elaborate further.

Upon hearing this, the numerous cultivators below immediately bowed in unison and shouted, “Congratulations, Holy Son Senior Brother, on your successful Core Formation!”

“Thank you all for your kind words, fellow Daoists!”

Yu Xian straightened his expression, bowed again, and strode down the high platform. He left the alchemy hall and headed straight for the secluded cultivation peak behind the Haotian Sect.

Everything will be perfect.

Then I must go into seclusion, go into seclusion!

The secluded retreat peak remained deserted.

Yu Xian arrived by air and stood outside the formation, bowing and saying, “Disciple Yu Xian of the Alchemy Sect has come to rent a secluded cultivation room.”

The formation activated, creating a crack.

Yu Xian immediately flew in, and as before, he arrived at the door and bowed, saying, “Disciple Yu Xian greets Elder.”

“My master has gone into seclusion. Please come in.”

A voice came from inside the main hall.

Yu Xian’s expression shifted, and he immediately got up and entered the hall.

But then, in front of the hall, behind the counter, stood a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an exceptionally handsome and dashing appearance. Although he was a man, he could be described as beautiful!

The young man’s aura was that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, clearly indicating that he was also a prodigy disciple.

“You are the Fourth Holy Son, the alchemy master Yu Xian?”

When the young man saw Yu Xian enter, he looked her over curiously and asked a question.

“I dare not accept the title of Holy Son.”

Yu Xian smiled faintly and said, “I am Yu Xian from the Alchemy Sect.”

“You’re really amazing.”

The young man looked at Yu Xian with envy and praised, “To have such cultivation at such a young age, and even defeat the Fourth Saintess, no wonder my master praised you so highly.”

Yu Xian looked embarrassed and smiled helplessly, “Junior brother, thank you for your praise. Do you have any more secluded cultivation rooms? I would like to rent one.”

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately laughed and said, “Ah, yes, yes.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the records below, then looked up at Yu Xian and said, “There are quite a few people going into seclusion recently. Seclusion room number six is ​​currently available. Senior brother, would you like it?”

“Can.”

Yu Xian was naturally not picky; those thirty secluded cultivation rooms were actually the same, with little difference between them.

The young man smiled and said, “I would like to trouble you, Senior Brother Yu, to give me the contribution token.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian immediately took out his contribution token.

He still has over 1,500 contribution points in his contribution token. At the rate of two contribution points per day, he can continue his seclusion for at least two more years.

Sure enough, the young man took Yu Xian’s contribution token and smiled, “Senior Brother Yu, you still have 1,530 contribution points left. How long do you plan to rent it?”

Yu Xian calmly replied, “Two years.”

“oh?”

The young man was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay, two years.”

After saying that, he raised his hand and swiped away the contribution points in Yu Xian’s contribution token, then threw the seclusion room token and contribution token to Yu Xian together, and said with a smile: “I wish you success in your seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage.”

Yu Xian reached out and took the seclusion room token and contribution token, nodding and saying, “Thank you for your kind words, Junior Brother.”

After saying this, Yu Xian returned the greeting slightly, then turned and left the main hall, heading towards the back mountain.

Heading to the No. 6 seclusion room on the back mountain, Yu Xian didn’t dawdle; he opened the door and stepped inside.

With a wave of his hand, Yu Xian closed the stone door and went to the central futon. He sat cross-legged, took a deep breath of the rich spiritual energy, and sighed.

He then raised his hand and formed a hand seal, circulating the Longevity Wood Spring Technique, preparing to break through to the fifth level of the Longevity Wood Spring Technique, the level of Wood Qi Condensation Pill.

The Longevity Wood Spring Technique is divided into seven levels: the first level is wood qi refining the body, the second level is wood qi transforming into the sea, the third level is wood qi transforming into the spirit, the fourth level is wood qi forming the foundation, the fifth level is wood qi condensing the elixir, the sixth level is wood spirit covering the body, and the seventh level is wood spirit forming the infant.

Now, what Yu Xian needs to break through is this fifth level, Wood Qi Condensation Pill!

Practice, practice!

Yu Xian closed his eyes and recalled everything.

From the time I was seven or eight years old, when I was given the opportunity by my adoptive mother in Yushu to embark on the path of cultivation, to being introduced to the Baiyun Sect by Quan Dao, so many things have happened along the way.

But nothing he did went against his own conscience.

Even though he regretted killing You Xiaocao, he had no regrets.

Because in that situation, even if he could do it all over again, he would still choose to kill You Xiaocao; the fault wasn’t his.

In addition, Tianmo Valley killed 63 people, which seems to have been innocent people as well.

But he wasn’t himself back then!

He was immediately captivated by the Heavenly Demon as soon as he stepped into the Heavenly Demon Valley. With his mind twisted, he was left with only demonic thoughts, which is why he killed the sixty-three people.

Therefore, those sixty-three people died unjustly and innocently, and it was not Yu Xian’s fault.

Instead, it was the demons who used Yu Xian to kill them.

This is fundamentally different from killing a small weed!

Yu Xian understood this perfectly, and therefore remained content.

He can go and slay those demons in the future to avenge these innocent people.

But I will never feel guilty, regretful, or responsible towards these people.

After leaving the Heavenly Demon Valley, Yu Xian never killed anyone by mistake or indiscriminately again.

Even if someone threatens Dayushu Village, even if it’s Ba Liming, or even the three cultivators who came to hunt down Ba Liming, they could still cause harm to Dayushu Village.

But Yu Xian also gave them a chance to live, and did not kill them indiscriminately.

Therefore, Yu Xian’s mind was clear, pure, and lucid.

A pure heart is unblemished.

I am Yu Xian, a child from Dayushu Village. My mother taught me to distinguish right from wrong, to know what is right and wrong, to understand good and evil, and to know… good and evil.

I am who I am, and I am unique.

I am… irreplaceable… Yu Xian…

A surge of energy enveloped Yu Xian, and all the spiritual energy in the entire secluded cultivation room gathered around him!

All these changes of thought, though seemingly rapid, actually took a great deal of time to sort out, confirm, carefully consider, and understand!

It’s like a dream; it seems to pass in an instant, but when you wake up, several hours have already passed!

Yu Xian was the same.

He sorted out his divine thoughts, his memories, and his heart, and finally achieved a state of perfect understanding and fulfillment!

It took him one year and ten months to accomplish all of this!

His dantian, his foundation, and the large elm tree on the foundation all began to shake violently after his complete enlightenment.

The entire sea of ​​qi was constantly being compressed, the base was also shrinking, and the big elm tree was naturally emitting a dazzling light as it swayed, constantly condensing!

Inscriptions, talismans, Taoist techniques, thoughts, mind, and will all begin to coalesce at this moment.

Auras began to descend.

This is a long contraction process; once it is reached, the core will be completely condensed!

After an unknown amount of time, just as the elixir was about to be successfully condensed, Yu Xian suddenly heard shouts in his ears.

“Senior Brother Yu! Senior Brother Yu, are you there! Senior Brother Yu!!”

“I am Zheng Huo’s Daoist partner… He sent me to find you… Please save him… I beg you, save him…!”

“He’s dying… I know you’re in seclusion, but senior brother, Zheng Huo is your brother… He’s really dying! Go quickly, save him!!”

“Senior Brother!! Senior Brother Yu!!”

…

These piercing screams echoed incessantly in Yu Xian’s ears.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter.

But Yu Xian remembered the name Zheng Huo very clearly!

This is his brother!

What happened to my brother?! He’s dying?!

With each word, Yu Xian’s mind wavered, and his will to condense the core was almost completely disrupted, making it possible for him to fail!

“Zheng Huo… Fellow Daoist… Brother… Wait for me… Wait for me!!”

Yu Xian roared inwardly. As the Daoist consciousness he was born with faded, his own will gained absolute dominance. He was about to wake up!

But in his half-awake state, Yu Xian suddenly reached out and patted his waist.

As soon as the storage bag moved, a box flew out.

“Brother… wait for me… even if I can’t achieve a perfect Golden Core, I will still come to save you… wait for me…”

Yu Xian’s thoughts echoed throughout the secluded room like a thunderclap.

The sandalwood box flew out and opened directly, shooting out a burst of bloody light. More than a dozen drops of blood whistled out and flew into Yu Xian’s mouth!

Glug…

He swallowed more than a dozen drops of infant blood, and forcibly restored his innate constitution from his acquired one!

The insights that had been gradually fading due to the disturbance were immediately stabilized, and then, together with the dozen or so drops of infant blood, circulated around the dantian and sea of ​​qi.

Inside his dantian, the sea of ​​qi, which was a full sixty-six zhang long, had now condensed into a circle the size of a thumb.

This circle radiated an incredibly dazzling light, sweeping outwards in concentric circles.

The Great Elixir Body Refining Technique.

Longevity Wood Spring Achievement.

The Three Treasures Divine Thunder Technique.

Wooden Vine Divine Method.

Wood Spirit Heart-Thumb Method

The Fire Technique.

The Heavenly Heart Divine Art.

Blood-suppressing therapy.

The Five Elements Great Hand Seal.

Wood Yang Lightness Technique.

Blood Crystal.

The Mountain Character Formula.

The “Wind” Formula.

The “Lin” principle.

Mysterious Heaven Spirit Slaying Technique.

…

At this moment, all the techniques that Yu Xian had learned seemed to be quickly inscribed on his “sea of ​​qi” in a ranking order.

However, this sea of ​​qi is no longer a sea of ​​qi, but a concentrated point of light that shines with boundless light and has incomparably terrifying power!

The light spots that recorded these spells expanded again, growing to the size of quail eggs.

Then, the quail egg-sized point of light continued to rotate, grow larger, and emit a wood spirit aura.

But then I saw…

Wood, for making fire.

Fire generates earth.

Earth produces gold.

Metal generates water.

Water produces wood.

The five elements cycle, and the five elements are complete.

However, all of this begins with wood, and wood is the primary element.

When the Five Elements reach their perfect perfection, the Golden Elixir is naturally generated.

The light spot, the size of a quail pill, eventually transformed into the size of an egg, upon which countless inscriptions were engraved, recording all the spells Yu Xian had cultivated and all his insights!

This is everything about Yu Xian!

A real, super golden pill!

It is called:

Ancient trees and green vines lock the grotto; when will you share the clear spring with me?

Even ghosts and gods fear the Earthly Concentration Ground, for it is the Great Golden Elixir of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Yu Xian seemed to see gods beating drums, fairies dancing, immortal masters playing music, and the sky changing.

Boundless talismans bless one, and inscriptions of blessings are engraved upon them.

A golden, shimmering, and spinning elixir appeared within his dantian, then rose upwards and settled into his heart.

The Golden Elixir resides in the Spirit Platform.

The Lingtai is the location of a person’s heart.

At this point, the Qi Sea is no longer of much use, so it doesn’t matter if Yu Xian’s Qi Sea is destroyed.

Because his golden elixir is in his heart, in his spiritual center!

Therefore, the destruction of the Qi Sea is only a minor injury.

A stream of primordial energy descended.

The surging energy cleansed Yu Xian’s body, making it even stronger.

However, Yu Xian’s physical body was already extremely powerful, and his Lesser Core Formation was at a level of perfection, not much different from Golden Skin and Jade Bones.

Therefore, after these forces swept around, they found that Yu Xian’s physical body did not need any strengthening, so they all gathered at his spiritual platform!

The spiritual platform surged, the golden elixir flourished, and became increasingly perfect!

Yu Xian closed his eyes and remained motionless, but clenched his fists, and a voice echoed in the secluded room.

“Zheng Huo, brother… don’t be afraid… I’m here…”
