A secret wonderland in the snowy mountains, where the warm sun shines on the green meadows, and some red, yellow, white and blue flowers bloom in the grass.

The valley has scrubland, woods, and a small lake that connects to the river. At this time, looking at the source of the river, the cascading waterfall is particularly spectacular.

Dao Ran closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before opening his eyes after a moment, "This is the Valley of Elixirs, many years from now, here will still be full of aura, and the smell of elixir can be smelled in the air." ”

Lan Chengyu also took a deep breath, he didn't smell anything special, but the air here was very pure and fresh, and as for the aura, he could already feel it when he stepped into the valley.

"Mentor, are you going to take me to collect medicine?" Lan Chengyu asked.

"That's right, I'm here to collect medicine, and you come here to cultivate. Dao Ran replied and walked towards the lake with Lan Chengyu.

When he arrived at the lake, he found that the water of the lake showed a blue color, and Lan Chengyu could clearly sense that the aura here was the strongest, and this lake was the center of the aura of heaven and earth in the valley.

On the other side of the lake is a gentle meadow at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the verdant grass is dotted with colorful flowers, and the lake water mirrors the snow-capped mountains, meadows, blue sky and white clouds.

Lan Chengyu looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him intently, feeling that his mind and body were melted by everything in front of him, and he was fully integrated into the beauty here.

Dao Ran set up camp by the lake, and this time set up two tents, Lan Chengyu's first task was still to collect firewood.

When the bonfire was raised, the sky was gradually dark, Lan Chengyu sat by the lake and looked at the snow-capped mountains and lakes at sunset, and naturally remembered Shangguan Yufei's appearance, there are many lovers in the world, and the beautiful scenery can attract lovesickness the most.

"The center of the lake is the place where the spiritual energy is most concentrated here, and tomorrow you will be here to condense the true qi. Dao Ran also walked to the lake and said.

"Okay, it's just that I've tried many times but the condensation effect is not very good. Lan Chengyu remembered the process of condensing his true qi last night.

"Condensing the true qi is not so simple, the meridians of the body are like rivers, the true qi is like the water in it, the dantian after gathering qi is the ocean, and your current dantian is not an overnight thing to condense the ocean of qi. Dao Ran said.

"The ocean of gathering qi, how big of a place does it take, this dantian is just an inch of land?" Lan Chengyu asked puzzled.

"It's just a metaphor, when you gather your energy, you will find that there is no more than an ocean in this square inch, this is a universe in your body. Dao Ran smiled.

"Universe!" Lan Chengyu couldn't understand for a moment.

"It's really not easy to condense a ball of true qi out of thin air in the dantian without dispersing, tomorrow you take 7 qi gathering pills, and I will give you another piece of deep-sea Xuan ice, and you will condense your true qi in this lake. Dao Ran said.

"In the lake?" Lan Chengyu was even more strange, how to condense his true qi in the lake, and he didn't know how to avoid water.

"Yes, in the lake, tomorrow you will understand that due to the essence of wood absorbed before, you have the true qi of the wood attribute in your body at the moment, and when you condense the inner dan, you must gather the true qi of the five attributes, and for you, the true qi of the water attribute is the best with the cold qi, and the stability of the true qi in your body will be better in the future. Dao Ran said.

"Doesn't the breathing technique say that one attribute of true qi can condense the inner dan?" Lan Chengyu was puzzled.

"For you, the five elements of qi, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are indispensable, and this is related to your immortal fate. Dao Ran said.

"Then wouldn't I pay five times more than others!" Lan Chengyu said questioningly.

"Exactly, but there are also five times the harvest of others, these are all later words, here today, you rest early, and start cultivating tomorrow. After Dao Ran finished speaking, he added some firewood and lay down in the tent.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Lan Chengyu finished washing and put all the items on his body in the open space in front of him.

Dao Ran smiled when he saw it, "This time I can't even wear clothes, take them off." ”

Lan Chengyu wondered, but under Dao Ran's urging, he finally took off naked, and the wind in the valley was still a little chilly.

Dao Ran took out a piece of blue ice from his sleeve robe, at first it was only the size of a palm, but when it was put into the water, it was one meter square, and the ice floated on the water and floated with the lake, and the blue color was refracted in the water and looked particularly good.

"You go up and sit cross-legged. Dao Ran said.

Lan Chengyu gritted his teeth and climbed up, the biting cold made Lan Chengyu shiver, and the feeling of sitting cross-legged on it was indescribable, especially when the skin was directly in contact with Xuan Bing.

Lan Chengyu exhaled a white mist at the same time as he spoke, "Mentor, it's so cold, how long do I have to cultivate, it is estimated that I won't be able to hold on for five minutes!"

"Cultivate quietly, don't think about anything else, until you succeed in gathering qi. You will find the benefits of this Xuan Bing, go ahead, the sooner you settle down, the less you will suffer!" After Dao Ran finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, Xuan Bing carried Lan Chengyu to the center of the lake.

Seeing this, Lan Chengyu cried out in his heart, "What's the matter? This is going to cut off my retreat, and it is estimated that I will be frozen with this Xuan Bing in five minutes." ”

In order to resist the cold, Lan Chengyu ran the true qi in his body as soon as possible, and when the true qi in his body surged, the cold qi of Xuan Bing also entered his body, but he did not feel the chill in the meridians, but made his mind more peaceful and sober.

Lan Chengyu worked hard to allow himself to meditate and cultivate, and the true qi continued to condense and disperse in the dantian, and the aura in the lake rushed to Lan Chengyu like a tide, and in less than three minutes, Lan Chengyu had already settled, and at this time, Xuan Bing had not yet floated to the middle of the lake.

Five minutes later, Xuan Bing positioned Lan Chengyu in the middle of the lake, Lan Chengyu's hair, hair, and eyebrows had already formed a layer of white frost, and he had now completely lost his sense of the outside world and entered a state of cultivation.

At this time, there was only the true qi in his body and the square inch of the dantian in his consciousness, and the true qi gathered and dispersed, constantly impacting the dantian, I don't know if it was the Xuan Ice that sealed his perception, or because his cultivation was too deep, he was in a state of selflessness at the moment.

A few hours later, Lan Chengyu's estimate came true, and he and Xuan Bing had been frozen, only the heartbeat and the blood in his body were not frozen.

A day later, Lan Chengyu completely fused with Xuan Bing, looking like a humanoid ice cube sitting on the surface of the lake, and the lake water near his body began to freeze.

Three days later, the outline of Lan Chengyu could still be seen outside the Xuan Ice, and the lake had already formed an ice surface within a radius of ten meters, and it was still radiating outward.

Half a month later, the entire lake surface has been completely frozen, and there is a large ice block protruding from the center of the lake, and the ice layer formed on the lake surface can vaguely see the ice block that gathers in the center of the lake with a line of spiritual energy.

After collecting a spiritual grass on the snow mountain, Dao Ran noticed the strangeness of the lake, and said with a smile, "It really happened! It took half a month to fuse Xuan Bing to condense the true qi of the dantian, and the qualifications are acceptable." ”

At this time, the true qi value in Lan Chengyu's body in the ice was increasing rapidly, and with each time he breathed, the spiritual qi in the lake continued to surge into his body, and the 7 Qi Gathering Pills he took took played a role in his body at this moment, allowing the true qi entering his body to steadily gather in the dantian.

A month later, the ice on the surface of the lake had taken on a faint blue color, and the aura of heaven and earth was surging towards the center of the lake in all directions with a faint blue light along the veins.

Lan Chengyu's dantian was condensed by a cloud of Xuan Ice Qi, but there was a tendency to disperse, condensing the true qi with all his heart, and the two forces acting at the same time made this mass of true qi continue to rotate, sometimes shrinking and condensing, sometimes expanding and scattering.

Seven and forty-nine days, the true qi in Lan Chengyu's dantian no longer had a tendency to disperse again, but kept rotating and condensing.

Under the starry sky, the blue ice on the surface of the lake flashed with a faint blue light with the cyclone at the place of Lan Chengyu's dantian, and the blue light rushed to the center of the lake like a tide.

In the middle of the night, the lake was quiet, and the cyclone in Lan Chengyu's body in the dantian also stopped rotating, and the condensed true qi stabilized in the dantian.

It's quiet in the valley!

When the early morning sun shines on the lake, the ice on the lake begins to melt quickly into a blue mist.

The mist was illuminated by the sunlight with a colorful halo, and the whole lake became mysterious and beautiful, and when the ice completely melted, the blue mist suddenly and quickly condensed towards the center of the lake.

In less than a minute, the mist quickly condensed towards the Xuan Ice in the center of the lake, and the deep sea Xuan Ice disappeared, and all the mist gathered around Lan Chengyu's body. A moment later, the fog disappeared, and Lan Chengyu appeared on the surface of the lake, where he was now sitting cross-legged and suspended above the lake.

Lan Chengyu opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of blue mist gently, and in an instant, his body fell into the lake, and when he reacted, the person was completely submerged in the water, he hurriedly waved his arms and swam, and found that the operation of the true qi in his body made the strength of his body increase sharply, and the power of slapping the lake water made him easily jump out of the lake.

Gathering Success!

After coming ashore, Lan Chengyu immediately adjusted his luck in the body, and a calm breath condensed in the dantian, which was connected with the meridians in the body, and the true qi condensed here and flowed from here to the whole body.

Lan Chengyu walked to the makeshift camp and got dressed again, there was no Dao Ran in the camp, and he felt hungry at this time.

I found some dry food in the space spar to satisfy my hunger, I don't know how long the cultivation time has passed, and I took the mobile phone and turned it on, only to find that the mobile phone was out of battery.

"Feng Ling, what day is it, and what is the progress of my current selection task?" Lan Chengyu took out the jade pendant and asked.

"Today is June 29th, and the progress of the mission is as follows. ”

A holographic projection screen appears.

Selection Quest Progress:

1. Outstanding deposit amount !! million deposits: RMB57,627.50;

2. The true qi value of the !! completed by cultivating and gathering qi is 386;

3. The physical fitness value is not up to standard!!

Physical Fitness Score: Strength: 60, Speed: 45, Coordination: 45, Agility 45, Endurance 55, Overall Score: 260.

Time remaining to complete the mission: 49 days, 16 hours, 35 minutes and 29 seconds

Lan Chengyu looked at the progress of the task, and his true qi value had increased so much all of a sudden, and his physical fitness value had also increased a little.

When he saw the time of the mission, he was stupid! 49 days! He unknowingly spent 49 days to condense his true qi, but what about the first task of saving a million dollars? How can this task be completed?

Lan Chengyu sat by the lake and thought about it for a long time, and wanted to buy lottery tickets like he used to, but there was no guarantee that he could win so many prizes in a limited time, and the luck component accounted for most of it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he had no clue, and it was too difficult for him to make so much money in a short period of time, which was too difficult for him to have no capital and no resources.

After waiting for a morning, Dao Ran still did not appear. Lan Chengyu was a little bored by the lake, and took out the Qingfeng Sword, wanting to try how effective the sword qi would be after the successful qi gathering.

Holding the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, when he was lucky, the sword body actually flashed a trace of cyan light. Swinging the sword and dancing a set of Taiyi swordsmanship by the lake, when Lan Chengyu luckily slashed a sword towards the lake, a full sword qi came out.

I saw a ripple-shaped layer of ice drawn on the surface of the lake, and the sword qi extended twenty meters away. This was caused by Lan Chengyu's tentenths of his internal force, and to his surprise, the sword qi could instantly condense into ice.

In excitement, he turned around and slashed at the rock beside him, and a large rock 5 meters away cracked, and a layer of frost condensed on the rock and crack.

He actually had Xuan Bing True Qi in his body!
