Chapter 7: Be cautious in cultivating immortals

Zhang Geyue was very excited now because he had found a Xuanyin flower.

Xuanyin flower, a second-order elixir, blooms at moonrise, closes at moonset, and the flower blooms with nine petals, which is the thing of the yin, and is one of the main medicines for refining Zhuji Dan.

Zhuji Dan, as the name suggests, is an elixir used to help immortal cultivators break through from the Qi refining period to the foundation building stage.

Cultivating immortals looks at qualifications, this qualification is talking about the spiritual root, and the spiritual root has five basic attributes, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the fewer the spiritual root attributes, the higher the purity, the better the qualification for cultivating immortals, of course, in addition to the five element attributes, there is also a mutated spiritual root that is unique in ten thousand, the common mutated spiritual roots are wind, thunder, ice, etc., generally speaking, the mutated spiritual roots are high-purity single spiritual roots, so the immortal cultivators with the mutated spiritual roots are all geniuses among geniuses, and they can generally become the disciples of the Yuanying monks.

The Qi refining period is to use the spiritual root to attract the external spiritual energy into the body, however, the purity of the spiritual root needs to exceed fifty percent, and then, the external spiritual energy will be refined into spiritual power and stored in the dantian, the higher the qualification of the immortal cultivator, the faster the refining speed of the spiritual power, the twelve layers of qi refining is a process of continuously refining the spiritual energy and then expanding the dantian.

When the cultivation of the immortal cultivator reached the twelfth layer of qi refining, the dantian could not continue to expand, and the gaseous spiritual power in the dantian began to liquefy, and opened up the sea of consciousness in the brain and gave birth to divine consciousness.

There are two prerequisites for breaking through to the foundation building period, one is the liquefaction of spiritual power, and the other is the birth of divine consciousness, but 70 million years ago, the heavens and the earth changed, and after that, immortal cultivators cannot give birth to divine consciousness after they are more than twenty years old.

This means that if an immortal cultivator fails to break through to the foundation building period before the age of twenty, he will never be able to break through, and in this situation, the foundation building pill came into being.

Zhuji Dan is based on yin and yang, supplemented by the genus of the five elements, and there is a chance to turn into divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness of immortal cultivators, this probability is related to the qualifications of immortal cultivators, and it also depends on luck, although the divine consciousness formed through Zhuji Dan is not as normal as the normal birth in the sea of knowledge, but it is also enough for immortal cultivators to break through to the foundation building period.

Zhang Geyue is fifteen years old this year, and his cultivation is to stay at the eighth layer of qi refining, there are a total of twelve layers of qi refining, and one layer is difficult to reach one layer, he started cultivating immortals at the age of six, and it took nine years to reach the eighth layer of qi refining, with his qualifications, it is impossible for the next four layers to break through within five years, and it is not enough to refine the spiritual qi alone, and he also needs to open up the sea of knowledge to give birth to divine consciousness, so he must start preparing for himself to build the foundation Dan.

The Xuanyin flower in front of him, which shimmered with a bright blue light, was his chance.

The disciple trial of the Xuanling Sect was not only a crisis that could kill or be eliminated, but also an opportunity to break through cultivation.

The trial secret realm of the outer disciples is opened every two months, in addition to the new disciples who must enter, the outer disciples who have passed the trial can also exchange the quota for entry to the sect, of course, this number is not much.

New disciples have their own trial tasks, and if they do not complete the tasks or do not leave the secret realm of trials within ten days, they will be considered as mission failures.

The outer disciples who enter the secret realm by exchanging places have no task, and they can't take the initiative to take action against the new disciples, but the goal of their entry into the secret realm is generally the elixir in the secret realm, so there is not much conflict with the new disciples.

The two main medicines of Zhuji Dan can be found in the secret realm, and if you hand in one, you can get a Zhuji Dan from the sect, of course, you can also complete all the elixirs and refine the Zhuji Dan by yourself, but there will be a probability of failure in alchemy, so immortal cultivators who are not specialized in alchemy are generally handed over directly to the sect, saving time, effort and safety.

However, the trial secret realm has existed for too long, and the remaining elixir in it is pitiful, Zhang Geyue searched for three days to find this Xuanyin flower, it is said that a long time ago, there were elixirs everywhere here, and every disciple who entered could return with a full load.

Thinking of this, Zhang Geyue, who was lying in the bushes, easily performed another breathing technique on herself.

The breath technique is a low-level spell, the effect is to converge one's own breath, and it can be cast in the third layer of qi refining, which is one of the basic spells for immortal cultivators.

The Xuanyin Flower needs to be picked after the moonset, and it is only the second half of the night, so Zhang Geyue needs to wait for a while, as for the breathing technique, it is to prevent the spirit beasts around the Xuanyin Flower, and it is also to prevent other outer disciples from finding here to have a praying mantis catching cicadas.

There must be spirit beasts around high-level elixirs, this is common knowledge in the immortal cultivation world, so Zhang Geyue didn't dare to be careless at all, although he didn't feel the slightest breath of spirit beasts.

Cultivating immortals needs to be cautious, and the powers of the immortal cultivation world today are not necessarily the most talented, but they must be the ones who live the longest.

The cultivation of spirit beasts is divided into one to ten levels from low to high, and every two levels are equivalent to a large realm of immortal cultivators, for example, the spirit beasts of the first and second orders are equivalent to immortal cultivators in the qi refining period, and so on, of course, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, spirit beasts are usually not as good as immortal cultivators, because immortal cultivators have various exercises and spiritual weapons and other things that strengthen combat power, while spirit beasts only rely on physical strength and some bloodline supernatural powers to fight, and low-level spirit beasts are not high in intelligence.

Because most of the secret realms were first-order spirit beasts, and there were only a very small number of second-order spirit beasts, Zhang Geyue was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the spirit beasts that might exist, and he was at the eighth level of qi refining, and with his second-order spirit sword, it was more than enough to deal with a second-order spirit beast, so he didn't deliberately look for the spirit beasts around him.

Time passed slowly, when the bright moon disappeared from the horizon, the nine petals of the Xuanyin flower gradually closed, and at the same time, the blue light on the flower also disappeared.

When the Xuanyin Flower was completely closed, Zhang Geyue waited for a while before standing up, and then, he quickly pulled out the spirit sword at his waist and threw it at the Xuanyin Flower.

The silver-white spirit sword made a white mark in the air, and with a plop, it was inserted into the mud under it with the Xuanyin flower.

"It seems that there are no spirit beasts here." After perceiving the surroundings carefully, Zhang Geyue cautiously walked towards the Xuanyin Flower.

With that sword just now, Zhang Geyue just tried it, and generally the spirit beasts around the elixir would subconsciously prevent the elixir from being damaged, so if there were spirit beasts around the Xuanyin Flower, they could be exploded just now.

Putting away her spirit sword and looking at the flowers that looked a little ordinary in front of her, Zhang Geyue couldn't suppress the heat in her heart anymore, and stretched out her hand to pick it up.

"Hiss......" However, before his hand could touch the Xuanyin flower, a sharp pain suddenly came from his buttocks.

With a subconscious sip of cool air in his mouth, Zhang Geyue wanted to continue picking the Xuanyin flower, but a huge force came from his aching buttocks, which was already a little numb, and directly threw him backwards.

"Turtle ......?"

was thrown into the air, and Zhang Geyue saw clearly that what attacked him was a big green turtle with a shrunken head and a shrunken head.

It seems that the turtle has been hiding under the mud until it gets close before biting on its buttocks, but why should it bite its buttocks?

The thoughts in his mind continued, and the movements of Zhang Geyue's hands did not stop, drawing the sword with his right hand, pinching a handprint with his left hand, and then the red light instantly flowed from his lower abdomen to his whole body, and then, his body paused in the air and slowly landed.
