: Retreat and break through!
Chapter 288: Retreat and break through!
The warmth brought by the Flame Blood Jade Pendant made Luo Mingyi's eyes suddenly light up. She flipped her hand and the dark red wood block less than one foot long appeared in her hand. It was the thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood that Xie Zhenming gave her.
The Flame Blood Jade Pendant can nourish the essence and blood, and this thousand-year-old Soul Nurturing Tree can also nourish the spiritual consciousness and the spirit.
Then, Luo Mingyi immediately went to the sect's Sutra Library and used his contribution points to exchange for some ancient books on refining the Soul-Nourishing Wood.
After studying in the space for three days, Luo Mingyi took out the piece of thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood and divided it into three sections with the Yinlan Sword.
One section was buried in the spiritual field in the space, and another section was kept as a reserve. Then he took out the Cauldron of Creation, threw the last section of the thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood into the cauldron, and released the purple spiritual flame to start refining.
After three days and three nights of refining, a palm-sized dark red armor piece appeared in Luo Mingyi's hand.
The heart-protecting armor piece made from thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood can not only be carried close to the body to nourish the mind and spirit, but can also play a defensive role to a certain extent.
Luo Mingyi used the formation to place the heart armor piece close to his body, and then placed a sign of retreat outside the cave. Then, he entered the space and began his retreat.
In the space, Luo Mingyi sat cross-legged beside the spiritual spring and immersed herself in practicing magic. Beside her, a snow-white two-tailed fox was lying obediently beside her, with white light slightly emanating from its body, as if it was practicing magic in its sleep.
At one side, on a piece of ten-thousand-year-old black ice, two one-foot-tall colorful glazed ice silkworms were practicing spinning silk and having a lot of fun.
There was a large number of snowflakes scattered on the ground nearby. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they were actually snow bugs.
In the spiritual field, thousands of spiritual bees were buzzing around, and a queen bee as white as jade and half a person's height was directing these spiritual bees to produce spiritual honey.
There is no time in repairing the chain, and in the blink of an eye, year after year has passed.
In the space, Luo Mingyi, who was still sitting cross-legged, had his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat without him noticing.
Little did she know that at this moment, the spiritual fluid in her dantian was bubbling like boiling water.
Above the boiling spiritual liquid, there was a fist-sized spiritual energy ball spinning, constantly rotating and condensing into drops of spiritual liquid.
As the spiritual energy ball spun faster and faster, it gradually formed a madly surging spiritual energy vortex.
Luo Mingyi tilted his head back and took a big gulp of spiritual marrow water. With external support, the spiritual power vortex operated faster.
Finally, three days later, Luo Mingyi suddenly felt a shock, and she finally felt the barrier of the thirteenth level of foundation building!
As long as you break through this barrier, you will be close to the Jindan stage!
Seven days later, the little fox Xuanshuang was repairing a chain in his sleep when suddenly he heard a "boom" sound in his ears.
Xuanshuang woke up immediately and jumped into the air.
Then, she saw that a thick white spiritual mist tightly wrapped a familiar figure.
A heart-pounding force suddenly appeared. Relying on her telepathy, Xuanshuang knew that the figure was Luo Mingyi, with whom she had signed a life contract.
As the "boom" sound came, the woman in the white mist suddenly opened her eyes, made hand gestures repeatedly, and the white mist around her was immediately absorbed into her body.
After a while, Luo Mingyi stood up and smiled cheerfully.
"It took me ten years to finally break through to the thirteenth level of foundation building!
Ten years have passed in the space, which means two and a half years have passed outside. "
Luo Mingyi couldn't help but let out a breath. She turned around and saw the little fox Xuanshuang with its tail slightly shaking beside her. She opened her arms, and the little fox jumped into her arms very skillfully.
Xuanshuang's eyes were like crystal clear dewdrops, blue and very cute and lively.
Luo Mingyi noticed another scene and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"My little Xuanshuang, is this white shadow the result of your third tail condensing?"
"Sister, this is just the initial stage. Only when it is completely solidified into a physical entity can it be considered a breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building."
Xuan Shuang's soft voice sounded, and she seemed very happy.
After playing with the little fox for a while, Luo Mingyi was planning to continue repairing the chain, but suddenly he seemed to sense something and left the space in a flash.
When she appeared in the space again, she was holding a handful of sound transmission notes in her hands.
These were the sound transmission notes sent to her by her good friends. She smiled slightly and opened them one by one.
The first one to be opened was Ye Wenzhu's. To be honest, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Ye Wenzhu recounted her current situation in the sound transmission note, such as how her cultivation had finally broken through to the eighth level of foundation building, the various sweet moments between her and Su Yan, and her longing for her family.
Luo Mingyi smiled knowingly, replied to her sound transmission note, and then opened the remaining sound transmission notes one by one.
Chu Yao and Ye Yingchen also sent messages, saying that they had also gone into seclusion one after another since she did.
There was also a sound transmission talisman, which surprised Luo Mingyi a little.
It was sent by Chunyu Qianmo who was far away in the Wanbao Immortal Sect. A year ago, after the sect competition ended, Chunyu Qianmo went into seclusion to concentrate on breaking through to the Jindan stage.
Finally, half a year ago, after surviving a thunder tribulation, he broke through to the Jindan stage.
Luo Mingyi clearly felt that Chunyu Qianmo's voice in the sound transmission note revealed an indescribable sense of ease and joy.
A smile appeared on her face, and she immediately replied to the sound transmission note, congratulating him.
There was also a final sound transmission note from her master, Master Fudan, asking her to go find him after she had completely finished her retreat.
Then, Luo Mingyi fell into the process of repairing the chain again.
Two years later, Luo Mingyi stopped repairing the chain again.
After practicing in the space for a total of twelve years, she finally improved her cultivation to the true perfection of the thirteenth level of foundation building!
Afterwards, Luo Mingyi fell asleep for a day and a night. After waking up, she was full of energy and left the space in a flash.
After coming out of retreat, Luo Mingyi immediately went to the cave of True Lord Fudan.
"Okay, okay! In just three years, you have already broken through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. But you must remember that when cultivating the chain, you must not be impatient!
The "Spirit Refining Art" that your master gave you before, after you go back, remember to practice it again! It is imperative to have a solid foundation, so that when you break through to the Jindan stage, you will not be disturbed by the emptiness of spiritual power and ultimately lose hope of forming a Jindan! "
True Lord Fudan looked at the little disciple in front of him with satisfaction and gave him detailed instructions.
Luo Mingyi lowered his eyes and responded, "Master, don't worry, I will."
"By the way, the reason I came to you this time is because of what you said before about the Spiritual Source Secret Realm and the matter of the God-Transforming Ghost Cultivator!"
Luo Mingyi's eyes widened immediately, and he asked hurriedly, "Master, do you have any clues about the ghost cultivator?"289: Heaven-Slaying Immortal SwordChapter 289: Heaven-Slaying Immortal SwordHowever, to Luo Mingyi's disappointment, True Lord Fudan shook his head.
"This matter is a bit complicated. No one knows when the Deity-Transforming Ghost Cultivator sneaked into the Lingyuan Secret Realm. There is also a possibility that the Deity-Transforming Ghost Cultivator existed even before the secret realm was excavated."
After a brief thought, Luo Mingyi understood the meaning of True Lord Fudan's words.
Each secret realm is actually a small, broken world scattered in the cracks of space.
Perhaps, this divine ghost is likely to come from another continent.
"In our Xuanyuan Continent, ghost cultivators are not included in the list of sects and families. Generally speaking, those who can become ghost cultivators are those who have nowhere else to go or are independent cultivators.
The name of Guifang that you mentioned, no one among the Yuanying Zhenjun in the entire sect has ever heard of it.
As the master, I guess that this person is most likely from another continent! "
Luo Mingyi nodded, "But Master, how is Brother Xie? If the ghost party had not been found, would he be in danger?"
True Lord Fudan sighed slightly, "A thousand years have passed. Although he has returned as a ghost cultivator this time, he is still a disciple of our Danxia Immortal Sect and the only child of Xingluo.
Since he has become a ghost cultivator, even if the three supreme elders take action personally, they will be powerless to save him.
Fortunately, there are three thousand paths, but they all end up as one. As long as he repairs the chain well, it is possible for him to ascend to the underworld!
As for this ghost party...」
True Lord Fudan was silent for a moment before continuing:
"Xiao Liu, tell me the truth, when you took Xie Zhenming out of the secret realm, did you offend the ghost party?"
Luo Mingyi's eyes flickered, he lowered his eyes and nodded. She had no choice but to tell them some of the things that could be said about the ghost's attempt to take over her body. As for her own divine thunder, she still hid it. After all, this matter concerned Chunyu Qianmo and the Xuanlei clan.
After hearing this, True Lord Fudan suddenly lost his composure!
After some analysis, Luo Mingyi finally got the same answer as Shen Huang.
That Gui Fang really had a trick up his sleeve!
"Xiao Liu, the ghost party is in the dark now, and you are in the light. Whether you are inside the sect or outside, you must be careful."
After True Lord Fudan gave her repeated instructions, he let her go.
Luo Mingyi flew directly to the sect's Sutra Library on his sword, and borrowed nearly a hundred books according to the jade slips given to him by his master.
After returning to the cave, Luo Mingyi directly entered the space.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had bought a set of introductory books on sword cultivation at the exchange meeting held after the Zixiao Sword Immortal Sect's competition.
Among them, the one that attracted her the most was the "Record of Ten Thousand Swords".
She waved her hand, and eighteen brand new books appeared in front of her.
"Record of Ten Thousand Swords", "Introduction to Sword Cultivation", "Basic Sword Techniques", "Detailed Explanation of Sword Controlling Techniques"... and so on.
Luo Mingyi first read through the other seventeen books. Although the contents were basic, after reading through them, he did learn a lot of basic knowledge.
I have to say that Jianzong is really professional when it comes to publishing books.
Then, she took out the last volume, "Record of Ten Thousand Swords".
Most of the tens of thousands of swords listed in the book came from the sword tomb of the Zixiao Sword Immortal Sect.
For example, the "Canglan Immortal Sword", which has been dormant in the sword tomb for more than ten thousand years, is one of the three great immortal weapons of the Xuanyuan Continent, along with the Kunxu Bow and the Prajna Du'e Bell.
In addition, there are nine famous mysterious swords, and all of them are magical weapons of the mysterious level.
Only cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage can master this kind of mysterious weapon.
As Luo Mingyi flipped through the pages, when he suddenly saw a silver sword, his pupils shrank involuntarily and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
"This, this sword is the giant immortal sword in the Nine Suns Secret Realm, the real immortal sword!"
Luo Mingyi's eyes moved slightly across the page and he saw the name of the sword.
Cut the sky!
Suddenly, a sense of heroic spirit from heaven and earth arose, and Luo Mingyi couldn't help but tremble, and a murderous aura came over him.
She quickly closed her eyes and focused her mind.
After a while, the two words "Zhan Tian" that were booming in my mind gradually stopped.
Luo Mingyi let out a breath. She had not expected that with just a slight thought, the murderous aura was almost too much for her to bear.
It is indeed a true magical sword!
Since this sword can appear in the Zixiao Sword Immortal Sect's basic introductory book, then the woman from the Zixiao Sword Immortal Sect who was met at the place where the Immortal Lord fell should have recognized the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword!
However, the last time I went to Zixiao Sword Immortal Sect, I did not see the mysterious female cultivator in purple.
Never mind, since this girl has recognized the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword, maybe there will be a day when they will compete with each other in the future.
Next, Luo Mingyi began to look through the books he brought back from the Sutra Library.
Ten days later, Luo Mingyi finally finished reading all the hundred books.
However, after reading it, Luo Mingyi's brows furrowed even more.
For mortals to cultivate immortality is actually going against the will of heaven.
After one has cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building, if one wishes to enter the next level, one must endure the test from heaven, commonly known as heavenly tribulation.
However, heavenly tribulations also have different quality levels.
From low to high, they are the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation (nine thunder tribulations), the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation (fifteen thunder tribulations), the Three Purities Thunder Tribulation (twenty-seven thunder tribulations), and the Qiankun Thunder Tribulation (thirty-six thunder tribulations).
These four types of thunder tribulations are all minor heavenly tribulations, which may be triggered by cultivators below the level of Divine Transformation.
The great calamity one experiences when breaking through the Spirit Transformation Stage, Void Refining Stage, Body Fusion Stage and Mahayana Stage.
However, cultivators at the Tribulation Stage and above need to go through the real immortal tribulation!
Which of these four minor heavenly tribulations will be triggered depends on the qualifications of the person undergoing the tribulation.
The higher the aptitude for chain cultivation, the more powerful the chain cultivation technique will be, and the more powerful the thunder tribulation that will be summoned will be.
One of the books once said that ten thousand years ago, there was a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building process and practiced ancient skills. The thunder tribulation he summoned was actually the thunder tribulation of the Three Purities.
A total of twenty-seven thunder strikes came down, and the man was caught off guard and died under the thunder.
When Luo Mingyi saw this, he was shocked and became more cautious.
The "Taichu Heart Sutra" and "Nine Turns to God" that she practiced are both ancient techniques. In addition, her bone age is very young, and the water and fire spiritual root values have reached an unprecedented 110.
She believed that with her qualifications and the skills she practiced, the thunder tribulation she summoned would most likely be the Three Purities Thunder Tribulation, or even the Qiankun Thunder Tribulation!
Whether it is the Three Purities Thunder Tribulation or the Qiankun Thunder Tribulation, it is not something she can easily survive now.
Luo Mingyi sat down cross-legged and began to think continuously in her mind about the series of methods she could use to deal with the heavenly calamity.
It seems that it is urgent to break through the "Nine Transformations to Godhood" to the third level!
290: Exchange for the Immaculate Jade Lotus
Chapter 290: Exchange for the Immaculate Jade Lotus
Danyan Peak is actually not far from Baiyao Peak. It only took Luo Mingyi half an hour to fly his sword and stop outside Baiyao Peak.
Before coming to Baiyao Peak, Luo Mingyi went to his master, True Lord Fudan, and expressed his need for the Immaculate Jade Lotus.
After learning about this, True Lord Fudan did not ask her what she needed it. Instead, he directly conveyed the message to True Lord Qingmu, the master of Baiyao Peak, in front of her.
Therefore, when Luo Mingyi landed outside Baiyao Peak, there was a foundation-building disciple waiting for him in the distance.
"Are you Uncle Luo?"
Seeing Luo Mingyi nod, the man immediately showed a respectful look on his face and bowed:
"Uncle Luo, I am the registered disciple of Qingmu Zhenjun, Wu Liang. I am here to wait for you on your orders. Uncle, please follow me!"
"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother Wu." After Luo Mingyi finished speaking, he followed Wu Liang, passing through tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields, and finally came to a winding path.
"Uncle Luo, this is Master's medicine garden! This time, the formations and restrictions are all over the ground, so please follow your disciple's steps and don't take a wrong step. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Seeing Wu Liang's serious expression, Luo Mingyi nodded.
However, as soon as her feet stepped onto the path, Luo Mingyi clearly felt a strange fluctuation of the formation.
After walking less than ten steps, Luo Mingyi had already keenly sensed the intersection of at least three formations.
There is only one defensive formation, and the other two are actually killing formations!
One step to the left, three steps to the right, one step forward, two steps to the right, one step back, and then keep moving forward…
Luo Mingyi was slightly surprised as he walked.
This formation method actually combines some of the techniques of Qimen Dunjia.
She was curious about who had set up this medicine garden formation.
Regarding the art of Qimen Dunjia, Luo Mingyi only talked about some basic knowledge in the inheritance of the formation.
But according to rumors, the Divine Divination Clan among the four major families is extremely skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia.
"Uncle Master, Master is in the wooden house ahead, please go in alone!"
Wu Liang brought Luo Mingyi to a row of wooden houses and stopped.
Luo Mingyi smiled slightly, and with a flash of her palm, a bottle of pills appeared in her hand.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Wu, for showing me the way. This is just a token of my appreciation."
When Wu Liang took the pill and took a look, he found that it was a top-grade Peiyuan Pill. His eyes were immediately filled with joy and he bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, uncle-master!"
Then a voice transmission sounded in her mind, "Uncle Master, Master loves to study exotic flowers and plants in his life. If you need anything, you can start from this aspect."
Luo Mingyi smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked outside the wooden house.
"Uncle Qingmu, the junior Luo Mingyi comes to pay his respects to you!"
Soon, the wooden house in front of him opened automatically, and an old and powerful voice was heard.
"Nephew Luo, please come in!"
"Yes, Uncle Master."
As soon as you enter the wooden house, you will be greeted by a strong spiritual energy and the fragrance of spiritual herbs.
The wooden house doesn't look big from the outside, but the space inside is ten times its size.
At this time, a thin man in his seventies waved towards Luo Mingyi.
"Brother Luo, come here."
"Yes, Uncle Master!"
Luo Mingyi replied and immediately walked towards where Qingmu Zhenjun was.
When she got closer, she discovered that in front of them was an acre-sized purple-red spiritual field. Under the illumination of the sunstone on the roof, wisps of red mist spread out and surrounded the spiritual plants.
All the plants planted on the spiritual field were spiritual medicine seedlings that were less than ten years old. She took a quick glance and found that there were hundreds of rare spiritual medicines, including the Immaculate Jade Lotus that she had been thinking about.
"Uncle Master, could this spiritual field contain the fourth-level spiritual soil mentioned in the book?"
Qing Mu Zhenjun was a little surprised, "You know a lot, kid!"
Luo Mingyi was lucky enough to have encountered this. Since the upgrade of space would lead to the upgrade of spiritual soil, she had gone to the Sutra Library to check it out carefully. Only then could she see at a glance the level of the spiritual soil in front of her.
"Thank you for your praise, Senior. I just happened to have read this kind of book."
"I heard from your master that you want the seedling of the Immaculate Jade Lotus?" Qingmu Zhenjun brought up the main topic of today with just one sentence.
Luo Mingyi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Uncle Master. I wonder what I need to exchange for the Immaculate Jade Lotus seedling. Please let me know!"
"You probably know that since the closure of the Frost Flower Secret Realm, the Immaculate Jade Lotus has become an extinct elixir. Every Immaculate Jade Lotus I have here has been registered in the sect!
If you are not a cultivator above the level of a sect elder, you are not eligible to redeem it!
But you are the chief disciple, and I have a good relationship with your master, so I can make some concessions for you! "
Qingmu Zhenjun glanced at her, coughed lightly and said, "I remember that you took out a thousand-year-old soul-replenishing grass to save your master. I wonder if you still have this kind of elixir?
Of course, if you exchange a thousand-year-old soul-replenishing grass for this Immaculate Jade Lotus, it would be more than enough, and your uncle will certainly give you something else as compensation. "
However, to Qingmu Zhenjun's disappointment, Luo Mingyi shook his head.
"Uncle Master, this ten thousand year soul nourishing grass is very precious, and there is only one. But when I was picking it in Tianchi, I also dug up two two thousand year old soul nourishing grasses. I wonder if it will work?"
A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Qingmu Zhenjun's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After opening the two brocade boxes handed to him by Luo Mingyi, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Two thousand years of soul-replenishing grass is more than enough! Junior-Martial-Nephew Luo, you are very good. I will give you the seedling of Immaculate Jade Lotus right now!"
Luo Mingyi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you, uncle-master!"
After leaving the medicine garden, Luo Mingyi immediately returned to the cave and flashed into the space.
There was a slight look of joy on her face. She didn't expect that Qingmu Zhenjun would give her two ten-year-old Immaculate Jade Lotus seedlings.
Only now did she understand why Master Qingmu asked her to come in person to exchange the spiritual seedlings. It turned out that he wanted this ten thousand year old soul-replenishing grass!
But this ten thousand year old elixir is of great importance. If Luo Mingyi takes it out, it might cause even greater trouble.
Fortunately, thanks to the pollination of spirit bees in the space, hundreds of two thousand year old soul-replenishing grasses have grown over the years.
Luo Mingyi quickly planted the two ten-year-old Immaculate Jade Lotuses in the spiritual field, and took out the tips on caring for spiritual medicines that Qingmu Zhenjun gave her before she left and read them over.
After careful watering, the seedlings of the Immaculate Jade Lotus are growing little by little, visible to the naked eye.
According to the growth rate of the spatial spiritual field, within two and a half years at most, this Immaculate Jade Lotus will be able to grow to five hundred years old. Then, it will be possible to refine the Second Transformation Divine Pill and impact the third level of "Nine Transformations to Return to the Gods"!291 Preparations before Dan Formation
Chapter 291 Preparations before Dan Formation
"The Art of Refining Spirits" is a technique that can compress spiritual power to the extreme.
Before Luo Mingyi broke through the foundation building stage, he used this soul refining technique to compress his spiritual power over and over again. Not only did it make the power of each drop of spiritual liquid more concentrated and powerful, it also freed up some of the originally full dantian.
Next, Luo Mingyi continued to compress his spiritual power, then repaired the chain, and then continued to compress it.
It was three years later until the spiritual liquid in Dantian was completely compressed to the extreme!
And under such extreme compression, the amount of spiritual fluid in Luo Mingyi's body actually increased by one tenth!
You know, this one-tenth is equivalent to the total spiritual power of a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage!
For Luo Mingyi, this was simply a pleasant surprise!
Three years passed in the space, but less than a year passed in the outside world.
The Immaculate Jade Lotus has grown to be nearly two hundred years old.
After waiting another year and a half, you will be able to refine the second-level divine elixir.
Next, Luo Mingyi took out the Cauldron of Creation.
In order to form the elixir more smoothly, she needed to refine a fourth-grade elixir called "Polingdan".
When breaking through the Jindan stage, taking this Poling Pill can increase the success rate of Jindan to a certain extent and help condense the golden elixir.
She had already prepared the spiritual medicines for refining, all of which were more than a thousand years old, a total of nine kinds of spiritual medicines.
Three days later, Luo Mingyi looked at the mid-grade Soul-Breaking Pill in his hand, shook his head slightly, and continued to refine it.
A month later, Luo Mingyi opened the Cauldron of Creation, and three top-grade Soul-Breaking Pills flew out of it.
She pondered for a moment and continued to process the elixir.
Three months later, Luo Mingyi was still sitting cross-legged in front of the Cauldron of Creation, performing a complicated elixir-collecting technique with his hands.
There was only a buzzing sound heard from the Creation Cauldron. After a slight vibration, the lid of the furnace opened, and a top-grade, flawless white pill shot out from it.
"The ultimate soul-breaking elixir! I've finally made it!"
Luo Mingyi's face lit up with joy. He solemnly took out a white jade pill bottle and put the top-grade soul-breaking pill into it.
Then, the refining of the second furnace began.
This broken elixir is a fourth-grade elixir that can only be refined by a Jindan Zhenren.
With her current alchemy skills, the success rate of refining high-quality pills has reached 70%.
However, the success rate of making top-quality pills is only 10%!
But for Luo Mingyi, who had plenty of spiritual medicines, it was nothing.
A month later, Luo Mingyi looked at the ten top-grade soul-breaking pills in the white jade pill bottle and smiled.
Of course, in addition to this broken spiritual pill, the role of the ten thousand year spiritual marrow is even greater when breaking through the foundation.
In addition, Luo Mingyi also has to refine a pill called the Vein Protecting Pill.
The meridian protection pill, as the name suggests, protects the meridians.
Whether it is when tempering the body or when suffering from thunder tribulation, as long as you take this meridian protecting pill, you can protect the meridians in the body to a certain extent.
It is an indispensable and necessary elixir for overcoming thunder tribulation.
After three months, the Meridian Protecting Pill was finally refined.
Although it is also a fourth-grade elixir, this Vein Protecting Pill is easier to refine than the Soul Breaking Pill.
The two bottles of pills in front of her were one bottle of top-grade Meridian Protecting Pills containing one hundred pills, and one bottle of top-grade Meridian Protecting Pills containing twenty pills.
These are enough for her!
After the elixir was prepared, eight months had passed in the space.
Next, Luo Mingyi took out hundreds of blank array plates and a large pile of materials for refining array formations.
By reading through the hundreds of books in the Sutra Library, Luo Mingyi also discovered a method to resist thunder tribulations: the formation!
Theoretically speaking, as long as there is a strong enough formation, the thunder tribulation may not actually fall on the person undergoing the tribulation.
But based on Luo Mingyi's estimation of the power of the formation, it would probably require at least a sixth or seventh level formation to barely do it.
With her current attainment in formation, she can only refine a fourth-level formation at best.
Even so, with the first level of resistance of the formation, plus her physical strength after breaking through to the third level, she should be able to withstand the thunder tribulation.
There are two types of formations that she is going to refine next. The first one is the Eight Directions Defense Formation, and the other one is the defensive formation called the Four Symbols Vajra Formation.
The Eight Directions Defense Formation is a formation that Luo Mingyi is very familiar with.
Although refining it is time-consuming and laborious, it is not difficult.
But in the Four Symbols Vajra Formation, although it is also a fourth-level defense formation, its actual defensive power is twice that of the Eight Directions Defense Formation!
Similarly, naturally, the complexity of this formation is far greater than the Eight Directions Defense Formation.
The materials used to make the formation plates and flags are also very picky.
The Four Symbols usually refer to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.
In order to refine this formation, one needs formation materials that contain the power of the four symbols, namely, the scales of dragons, the sharp teeth of fifth-order wolf monsters, crystals containing fire-attributed spiritual power, or the hair of fifth-order fire monsters.
The last one is Mithril Black Iron.
Then, Luo Mingyi left the cave and went to the market town and the sect's treasure house successively. He spent nearly 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones and ten two-thousand-year-old spirit medicines before he gathered twenty sets of materials for making the Four Symbols Vajra Formation.
Afterwards, Luo Mingyi plunged into the space and began to study the Four Symbols Vajra Formation.
But during this period, Luo Mingyi discovered something strange.
Whenever she was concentrating on studying the formation patterns, she would feel a blue light passing by, and then she would feel like she had entered an extremely immersive world of formations.
Mysterious array patterns appeared in front of her, allowing her to combine them at will.
But each time this state can only last for an hour at most.
But during this hour, her speed in studying the formation was leaps and bounds.
After a long time, she gradually figured out the pattern.
A state like this occurs once every ten days and can last for an hour each time.
Finally, two months later, Luo Mingyi took out the Cauldron of Creation again and began the first refining of the Four Symbols Vajra Formation!
The first thing to be refined was the Mithril Iron. Although its weight was not as great as the Golden Sand, its hardness was not inferior at all.
It took a full half day just to smelt this large piece of mithril and black iron.
The next step is to refine the other three kinds of four spiritual objects and fuse them with the formation plate.
In addition, she also kept a portion of the four materials to refine the four square formation flags, totaling sixteen flags in four colors.
The Azure Dragon is blue, the White Tiger is white, the Vermillion Bird is red, and the Black Tortoise is black.
Only after the array plates and array flags have been completely refined can the array patterns be engraved.
Three days later, Luo Mingyi looked at the formation plate in front of him that was emitting a strange color and exhaled deeply.
The next step is the most important one, engraving the array pattern, summoning the spirits, and sealing the plate!292 Physical Breakthrough, Tongmai Stage
Chapter 292 Physical Breakthrough, Tongmai Stage
Although the Four Symbols Vajra Formation is also a fourth-level formation, the patterns on its formation are not simple arrangements, but rather very complex composite formation patterns.
The so-called composite array pattern is a gradual cross-fusion of multiple array patterns during the process of engraving the array pattern.
The array pattern in the Four Symbols Vajra Formation is a two-in-one composite array pattern, which twists two array patterns into one. A total of one hundred and ninety-two such two-in-one compound array patterns are needed.
And the array pattern must be carved in one go without interruption! Even if there is just a slight distraction or pause, all previous efforts will be wasted and the formation will be immediately destroyed.
Luo Mingyi closed his eyes for a moment and recalled in his mind the formation pattern he needed to carve.
Then, she was seen holding the Galaxy Spirit Guiding Pen in her hand, and suddenly opened her eyes, with a gleam of blue light flashing inadvertently in her eyes.
The spirit follows the pen, the heart follows the will.
Luo Mingyi put aside all distracting thoughts and began to carve the formation!
As the last spiritual energy pattern hit the formation plate, Luo Mingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all the array patterns were carved, she still had one third of her spiritual power left. After a brief recovery, he began the second step, to summon the spirit!
One after another, magic seals were injected into the array plate, and the four-color light on the array plate became stronger and stronger.
Until the light reached its peak, four-colored light pillars suddenly shot up into the sky, and Luo Mingyi was immediately refreshed.
Yes, right now!
Next, Luo Mingyi waved the Galaxy Spirit Guiding Pen in his hand again. Now this is the final step, sealing the deal!
As array patterns were imprinted onto the array plate, the four-colored light pillars were gradually suppressed and eventually fell silent.
At this point, the seal has been completed and a real Four Symbols Vajra Formation has been successfully refined.
Luo Mingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the gray array in front of him with surprise in his eyes. At its four corners, four lifelike beasts are carved.
Unexpectedly, I succeeded at the first attempt to refine the Four Symbols Vajra Formation!
In view of this, Luo Mingyi became more confident about the subsequent heavenly tribulation.
In the next six months, Luo Mingyi refined a total of fifteen Four-Elephant Vajra Formations and twenty Eight-Direction Defense Formations.
A year later, Luo Mingyi looked at the two pure jade lotuses in the spiritual field that were already covered with five-petal jade-colored lotus leaves and smiled gently.
The Immaculate Jade Lotus finally reached the age of five hundred years. Luo Mingyi stepped forward and carefully picked five jade-colored lotus leaves from one of the Immaculate Jade Lotuses. He slowly soaked them in the spiritual water that had been prepared long ago and gently washed them.
Then, he took out the remaining seven spiritual herbs needed to refine the second-level divine elixir, processed the herbs and began to refine them.
This second-level divine pill can be called a fourth-grade pill according to its difficulty. Luo Mingyi succeeded in the first furnace, but unfortunately he did not refine the top-quality second-level divine pill, only six high-quality pills.
She simply plucked off the five jade-colored lotus leaves of another Immaculate Jade Lotus, and after calming her mind, she began to refine the second batch of second-level divine pills.
This time, not only was one top-grade second-level divine pill refined, but also five superior second-level divine pills.
Luo Mingyi's face lit up with joy, and he immediately sat down cross-legged, throwing a top-grade second-level divine pill into his mouth.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance of lotus leaves lingered between the teeth and then reached the stomach.
A strange force instantly flowed into Luo Mingyi's limbs and bones, and then flowed through every acupoint in her body.
A tingling sensation came from the acupoints. Luo Mingyi could clearly feel that after being brushed by this strange force, the speed at which these acupoints absorbed spiritual energy seemed to have increased slightly.
However, it didn't last long before this strange power disappeared again, and the feeling of breakthrough came over him.
Instead, Luo Mingyi used half of her spiritual consciousness to suppress the urge to break through. Then she hooked her index finger slightly, and another top-grade second-level divine pill automatically flew into her mouth.
It was not until he took ten high-grade, second-level divine pills in succession that Luo Mingyi could no longer suppress the force of his physical body breaking through.
With a "pop" sound, an invisible barrier in her dantian was completely broken, and loud explosions came from her body.
Luo Mingyi couldn't help but let out a long howl. This painful and comfortable feeling made her unable to suppress herself any longer.
With the blessing of ten top-grade second-level divine pills, the speed of spiritual power operation in the 720 acupoints around the body seems to have reached its limit.
At this time, Luo Mingyi took the only top-grade second-level divine pill without hesitation.
In an instant, a more powerful and strange force penetrated through seven hundred and twenty acupoints and flowed to every corner of the body.
An extremely comfortable feeling swept through the body, and all of a sudden, seven hundred and twenty acupoints condensed into seven hundred and twenty spiritual power vortices, and countless spiritual powers of heaven and earth swept in from all over the space.
Under the impact of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, Luo Mingyi's skin, bones, and meridians were all tempered with high intensity.
Her body was undergoing tremendous changes without her noticing.
A feeling of absolute control of power emerged, and the Yinlan Sword appeared in Luo Mingyi's hand. He began to practice basic swordsmanship in the space.
If Xie Zhiwei were here at this moment, he would be extremely shocked.
Just a simple downward swing of the sword was enough to defeat him completely!
As if releasing power, she swung the sword one after another, and in the blink of an eye, she had swung the sword a thousand times.
She could clearly feel the increase in her internal strength and the tempering of her meridians.
When she swung the sword for the ten thousandth time, it was as if a seal had been lifted, and a tremendous force instantly filled her body.
This force surged through Luo Mingyi's dantian, and the meridians wherever it passed were actually widened by one third.
Luo Mingyi gritted his teeth to endure the pain, guiding this force to continuously flush the meridians in his body.
Fortunately, she had taken the Veins-Condensing Pill for a period of time before, and the meridians in her body had been cleansed by the medicinal power and had already established a certain foundation.
Otherwise, under such a strong tearing and such heart-wrenching pain, Luo Mingyi might not be able to bear it!
When the last bit of strength disappeared, all the meridians in the body widened by one third. At this moment, Luo Mingyi truly broke through to the third level of "Nine Transformations to Godhood", the Tongmai Stage!
It is no exaggeration to say that her current strength has reached ten times that before the breakthrough!
However, at this moment, Luo Mingyi's expression suddenly became stern. The breakthrough of his physical body brought about an even greater spiritual energy storm.
The seven hundred and twenty acupoints were operating more frantically to refine the spiritual energy, and the sea of spiritual fluid in the dantian was becoming more turbulent and boiling!
Luo Mingyi knew that it was time for her to break through to the Jindan stage!293: Dan Jin Tian Jie, Strange VisionChapter 293: Dan Jin Tian Jie, Strange VisionThe Danxia Immortal Sect is located among a group of long and towering immortal mountains, and has maintained its appearance of spring all year round for tens of thousands of years.
However, today, above the Danxia Immortal Sect, in addition to the faint rumbling of thunder, there was a strong wind and a sky full of yellow sand that came from nowhere and swept across every corner of the Danxia Immortal Sect.
Outside the Xiaolingtian secret realm in the back mountain, a silver light like a meteor fell instantly.
The two guard disciples of Xiao Lingtian immediately drew their spiritual swords and looked at the newcomer vigilantly, shouting:
"How dare you, you thief, break into the back mountain and refuse to surrender..."
Before the man could finish his words, his mouth was immediately covered by another person.
"Uncle Luo, right? Do you want to enter the Lesser Spiritual Heaven Cultivation Chain?" another man in the late Foundation Establishment stage asked hurriedly and respectfully.
This person was none other than the Little Spiritual Guardian named Yuan, a cultivator who had met Luo Mingyi several times before. Five and a half years ago, when Luo Mingyi was granted the status of chief disciple, they, the disciples of the Discipline Peak, were the first to receive the notification issued by the sect.
At this time, Luo Mingyi was relying on the strength of her physical body to suppress her own cultivation. The moment she stepped into the Tongmai Stage, her physical body had already taken a step ahead and entered the Jindan Stage!
After leaving the cave, she immediately stepped on the Yinlan Sword at full speed and arrived at Xiaolingtian.
"Hurry up, I want to go in!" Luo Mingyi took out the chief disciple token and waved it in front of the two of them.
The cultivator named Yuan immediately nodded solemnly. The two of them took out two jade beads and put them together. Suddenly, a teleportation array appeared under Luo Mingyi's feet.
The light and shadow dispersed, and Luo Mingyi disappeared on the spot.
A trace of envy flashed in the eyes of the cultivator surnamed Yuan, "Soon, there will be another Jindan Zhenren in the sect!"
As soon as Luo Mingyi entered Xiaolingtian, he quickly traveled all the way to the outside of Cave No. 1.
However, she did not enter the cave. Instead, she found a platform and sat cross-legged on it. She no longer suppressed her cultivation. The acupoints and meridians in her body began to frantically absorb spiritual power into her dantian.
"Girl, your thunder tribulation is coming with great force. You only have three days to prepare!"
Luo Mingyi's eyes lit up with joy, it was the voice of the Divine Phoenix.
"Thank you Sister Shen Huang for reminding me. I'm going to set up the formation now!"
Three days was enough time for her to complete the deployment of fifteen Four-Elephant Vajra Formations and twenty Eight-Direction Defense Formations!
Three days later, in the sky above Luo Mingyi's head, layers of thick black clouds gathered together. However, when she counted carefully, she found that there were as many as thirty-six layers of clouds!
This is actually the calamity of heaven and earth! The most powerful top-level calamity among all the minor calamities!
As a top-level heavenly tribulation, its appearance would naturally not be too low-key.
At this time, above Danxia Peak, dozens of Yuanying Zhenjuns stood in the air.
After three days, the strong winds became more violent and terrifying than before. The inky black clouds kept rolling, covering the entire Danxia Immortal Sect with Xiao Lingtian as the center.
But outside the Danxia Immortal Sect, it was a sunny spring day with clear skies and white clouds.
How could an ordinary heavenly tribulation produce such a horrifying scene? Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a top-level heavenly tribulation.
Sect Leader Xixian did not hesitate and joined forces with the other ten Yuanying True Lords to perform the technique of covering the sky and the sun, covering the entire Danxia Immortal Sect with thick fog.
However, from the outside, one can still see the thirty-six layers of thunder tribulation in the sky, but with the combined power of thirteen Nascent Soul True Lords, even if the cultivators from the outside world want to find out who is undergoing the tribulation, they cannot penetrate their spiritual consciousness into the foggy Danxia Immortal Sect!
What's more, the person who was undergoing the tribulation was in the small spiritual heaven at the back mountain of Danxia Peak, which was set up with layers of formations.
The three supreme elders live here, who dares to be so ungrateful!
"I wonder who are the foundation-building disciples who have gone to the Little Spiritual Heaven to cultivate recently? It's just a mere Jindan tribulation, but it can cause such a big scene. I'm a little curious about who this person is!"
The one who spoke was True Lord Chunyang of Qingyang Peak.
At this time, a Yuanying Zhenjun from the Discipline Peak waved his hand and a sound transmission note shot out.
A moment later, two trembling foundation-building disciples came flying on their swords. They faced the thirteen Nascent Soul True Lords with pale faces, not knowing what had happened.
"Are you two the disciples who have been on duty at Xiaolingtian for the past three months?"
The two monks surnamed Yuan nodded immediately, fearing that there would be even the slightest hesitation in their response.
"Then tell me, who entered the Small Spirit Heaven in these three months?" asked one of the Yuanying Zhenjun.
Monk Yuan swallowed nervously, cupped his hands and said:
"Three months ago, the first person to enter the Small Spiritual Heaven was Uncle Wei Chi from Qingyang Peak.
Next came Uncle Master Ye Yingchen from Danyan Peak and Uncle Master Feng Hui from Jielu Peak.
Ten days ago, it was Uncle Master Ye Cun from Baiyao Peak, and three days ago, it was Uncle Master Luo Mingyi from Danyan Peak. "
As soon as the monk surnamed Yuan finished speaking, Sect Master Xixian and True Lord Fudan asked urgently in unison:
"Three days ago, Luo Mingyi?"
The two True Lords immediately looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Then, the monk named Yuan recounted every detail of his meeting with Luo Mingyi three days ago from beginning to end.
After hearing this, True Lord Fudan and Sect Leader Xixian were 90% certain that the one who was about to undergo the tribulation today should be Luo Mingyi!
However, at this moment, Luo Mingyi himself was standing facing the wind, holding the Yinlan Sword in his hand, ready for the arrival of the first thunder tribulation.
At this moment, in her dantian, a golden cyclone occupied almost half of the space.
The huge golden cyclone continued to spin rapidly and was even growing larger.
But at this time there was some doubt in Luo Mingyi's eyes. According to the book, before the heavenly tribulation comes, the cultivator needs to condense a complete golden elixir in his dantian, and then go through the stage of the inner demon tribulation.
Only after all the tasks have been completed will the heavenly calamity come.
But all the spiritual fluid in Luo Mingyi's dantian was swept into this huge golden cyclone, but it never condensed into a golden elixir.
However, the heavenly tribulation did not give her a chance to figure it out. A terrifying aura of thunder instantly locked onto Luo Mingyi who was sitting cross-legged.
At this moment, there was a loud thunder and everyone looked up. In the bottom layer of thunderclouds above Xiao Lingtian, there appeared a golden dragon swimming in a winding manner!
At this time, in the back mountain of Danxia Peak, three young monks were sitting together, brewing and drinking tea.
However, what they were talking about was Luo Mingyi, who was currently undergoing the heavenly tribulation in Xiaolingtian.
"It's the Heavenly Tribulation and the Golden Flame Dragon! We have underestimated her talent and aptitude. We don't even know what kind of bloodline she has inherited!"
"Even though he's the chief!"294: The Golden Elixir Appears
Chapter 294: The Golden Elixir Appears
Luo Mingyi raised his head and looked at the extremely dark sky. A golden dragon ten feet long emerged from the clouds.
Then, he rushed towards her at lightning speed!
The spiritual power of the formation plate in Luo Mingyi's hand also increased greatly, and above her head, an almost transparent barrier suddenly appeared.
The first thing she activated was the Eight Directions Defense Formation. At the moment, the power of this natural disaster was still unclear, so she could only test it first.
Generally speaking, when a cultivator is going through a heavenly tribulation, the power of the first thunder tribulation is often the weakest.
The higher you go, the more powerful the subsequent thunder tribulation will be than the previous one.
However, what Luo Mingyi did not expect was.
The fourth-level defensive formation, the Eight-Directions Defense Formation, could only slightly resist the attack, and only consumed a maximum of 20% of the golden dragon's lightning power.
However, at this moment, a purple spiritual flame suddenly shot out from her dantian, and suddenly turned into a purple phantom mouth the size of a watermelon, which bit off 20% of the golden dragon's tail.
Of the ten percent of thunder and lightning power, forty percent has now gone, leaving sixty percent.
Sixty percent of the golden dragon was left with only half a foot in length, and it slashed into Luo Mingyi's body without any obstruction.
Luo Mingyi circulated his spiritual power, preparing to resist with his physical strength. However, she didn't expect that this half-meter-long golden dragon would actually strike straight into her dantian.
It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. Suddenly, her dantian felt like it was in deep water and on fire.
The entire golden gas mass was interwoven with strands and layers of golden arcs.
The violent power of thunder and lightning roamed wantonly in his dantian. Severe pain came, but Luo Mingyi did not dare to be careless and resisted hard.
But soon, Luo Mingyi discovered that the golden gas in his dantian seemed to be slowly shrinking and condensing.
A hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared on her face. Could it be that this power of thunder and lightning was the important force that helped her condense the golden elixir?
But in that mass of air, Luo Mingyi faintly saw a hint of purple.
She couldn't hide her shock, could this be? The natal divine thunder!
Unbeknownst to her, her innate divine thunder had actually wrapped itself into the golden elixir that was about to condense. Perhaps this was the reason why the golden elixir could never condense.
But now, after the continuous impact of the golden dragon, there was actually a sign of condensation. This discovery immediately surprised Luo Mingyi.
However, this 60% of lightning power was already the limit of what she could withstand now. When the second golden dragon struck down, Luo Ming used the same trick again, activating a layer of Eight Directions Defense Formation to consume 20% of the lightning power, then summoned the Purple Extreme Spirit Flame, which turned into a huge mouth of nothingness and bit off 20% of the golden dragon.
The remaining 60% of the lightning power entered her dantian again, continuously tempering the golden cyclone.
But the power of each subsequent heavenly tribulation is gradually increasing.
After the tenth thunder tribulation had passed, the Purple Spirit Flame had been completely wrapped in a thick layer of golden lightning.
It seemed that it could no longer swallow any more of the heavenly tribulation, and turned into a ball of golden light, returning to Luo Mingyi's dantian, with bright and dim golden light flashing continuously.
However, after being tempered by these ten heavenly tribulations, the golden cyclone in Luo Mingyi's dantian was now only half its original size.
Not only that, there was also a purple lightning winding around within the golden cyclone.
The thunderclouds in the sky rolled continuously. The moment the eleventh golden dragon condensed, it instantly locked onto Luo Mingyi on the ground. A golden light flashed, accompanied by a roar of thunder, and it struck down with a bang.
I saw two different formation plates floating in front of the red-clothed female cultivator. Then, two strange lights flashed. Before the eleven heavenly tribulations descended, two layers of barriers suddenly appeared above her head.
The golden dragon only paused twice before breaking through an eight-direction defensive formation and a four-symbol Vajra formation.
However, now that the two formations appeared at the same time, they could only barely consume 30% of the golden dragon's power.
The remaining 70% of the lightning power rushed towards the golden cyclone again.
However, only a muffled groan was heard, and Luo Mingyi supported himself on the ground with one hand, with beads of sweat falling from his forehead one by one.
"The power of these eleven heavenly tribulations is actually twice as powerful as the tenth heavenly tribulation!"
Naturally, the golden cyclone cannot withstand too much lightning power, so the rest will naturally flow around the meridians of the whole body!
Although Luo Mingyi's physical strength has reached the initial stage of Jindan, the power of this thunder tribulation is too strong, and Luo Mingyi can only grit his teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, she has broken through to the third level of Tongmai Stage, and the endurance of her meridians is dozens of times stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As long as we persist, these lightning forces can actually help temper our meridians and body.
Half an hour later, Luo Mingyi took a meridian protecting pill. The medicinal power immediately turned into a white barrier, wrapping the meridians in her body.
When the twelfth heavenly tribulation came, with the help of the meridian protecting pill, not only were her meridians tempered, but the pain was also within the range she could bear.
After Luo Mingyi managed to survive the twentieth thunder tribulation, the golden cyclone in her dantian shrank by half again and was now only the size of two fists.
Moreover, the golden cyclone has now become much more condensed. Perhaps it can no longer be called a cyclone, but a golden sphere the size of two fists.
At the beginning, Luo Mingyi tried to take out the purple innate divine thunder from the golden sphere, but she found that no matter how she called or ordered, the innate divine thunder was not moved at all.
Wherever those lightning arcs pass, there is not only pain but also a strong feeling of numbness. The skin of her entire body was burning with pain. If she lifted her sleeves, she would see that her skin was no longer fair, but extremely red!
Luo Mingyi tilted his head back and drank several big mouthfuls of spirit marrow water. Suddenly, he felt a cool feeling in his body, but it was soon completely covered by the burning heat!
Thunder roared and the heavenly calamity continued to descend.
Outside of Xiaolingtian, almost all the disciples who were not in seclusion to practice cultivation came out.
It has been six days since the thunder started! And Luo Mingyi counted the time since the first thunder tribulation came, and twenty-four hours had passed.
Thousands of miles away, it was still daytime. It was pitch black inside the Danxia Sect!
At this time, in the back mountain of Danxia Peak, three gods-transforming monks stood on the top of the mountain, their eyes looking into the fog in the mountain.
"Now there have been twenty thunder strikes, and I wonder what the girl's condition is?" One of the middle-aged men who looked slightly younger said anxiously.
