Chapter Seventy-Three: The Later Period of Yudan
One day two months later.
In the early morning, the sun is blazing.
The breeze blew away the morning mist, and the Yunping Mountains were exposed to the sun, and the void was filled with bursts of hot and dry air. This was the time of the day when the vitality of heaven and earth was at its strongest, and many disciples of the Zhong family were already sitting in the courtyard outside their respective residences, or on the nearby mountain peaks, exhaling qi refining and practicing exercises.
Just three days ago, the Zhong family held a grand ceremony, not only conferring the status of the Zhong family elders on the six disciples who had recently succeeded in knotting Dan, but also rewarding a large number of cultivation resources.
As the backbone of the clan, the Jindan period elder of the Zhong family has a remarkable status, not only can he enjoy a lot of regular resources to worship, but he can also hold some positions in the clan, and his power is not small, even if he is treated as a disciple of the common lineage.
As a result, condensing the golden pill to become a monk in the Jindan period has become the goal of almost all the disciples of the common lineage, and they have made unremitting efforts for it.
This ceremony greatly boosted the spirits of all the common disciples in the clan, and the inner desire to cultivate more and more intensified, and the atmosphere of cultivation became stronger. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that this time coincided with the birth of the Nightmare Palace, these disciples would have obtained a batch of Taiyi Pills, and the chance of condensing the Golden Pill would still be pitifully low.
At this time, the mountain range where the Zhong family's retreat area was located was quiet.
In the belly of the mountain, in front of the two stone doors that look quite majestic, a pair of unknown monster beast stone carvings squatting in front, one of them has an eagle head and a tiger body, with wings on its back, and the other is about three zhang high, the head of the ox is human, holding a giant axe, a black plaque is embedded in the rock above the stone gate, and the three simple characters of "Juding Palace" are written on it.
Inside the stone gate is a cave space of twenty or thirty zhang in size, and there is an old man in a purple robe with gray hair inside, sitting on a futon with his head bowed and closing his eyes to recuperate.
In the passage deep in the cave, there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps, and then a young man in a green shirt walked out slowly.
The old man with his eyes closed heard the movement, opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the passage, and when he saw the young man in green shirt coming out, he was slightly stunned at first, and then took out a jade slip and pasted it on his forehead, and slowly said: "Zhong Shen, you have rented it for a year this time, if you leave the customs in advance at this moment, the remaining spirit jade will be ......."
The old man was halfway through speaking, his voice paused, and then he said with a shocked face: "You...... You've also formed a golden pill?"
"Elder Dayan, I have indeed achieved the golden pill in the lower ranks. Zhong Shen smiled slightly and said.
"Then why is there no vision of heaven and earth? Could it be that the one a few months ago...... Is that you?" the purple-robed old man looked at Zhong Shen and said with a sudden pat on his head.
"That's right, after forming the Golden Pill under the knot, I found that the realm was unstable, and there was still a lot of rental time, so I continued to cultivate in the secret room for a while. Zhong Shen nodded and said.
"Okay, okay, you go back and rest first, I will report this matter, and I believe that the head of the family will confer on you the position of elder in the near future." The purple-robed old man's face softened, he stroked his beard and smiled, his voice was unusually polite.
"Then there is Elder Lao Dayan, and the juniors will leave. Zhong Shen clenched his fist at the other party and walked straight out of the door of the retreat area.
After a while, Zhong Shen stood at the door, looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, his eyes narrowed a little uncomfortably, and a breath came out of his mouth.
Yes, he had already condensed the Jindan in one fell swoop a few months ago, and officially became a Jindan stage monk, under the three turns of the Taiyi Dan and many other thorough preparations, he almost encountered any obstacles in cultivating Bibo Gong, and the whole process could be said to be a matter of course.
The Jin Dan he formed is still an extremely rare high-grade Jin Dan, which means that he still has the possibility of giving birth to a Yuan Infant in the future and making his cultivation to a higher level.
And the reason why he didn't get out of the customs immediately was because the three-turn Taiyi Pill not only had a peculiar medicinal effect, but the spiritual power contained in it was too strong, so that after he condensed the golden pill, a large amount of spiritual power was still accumulated in the dantian in his body, and it was constantly moving towards the meridians of his limbs, so that he had to continue to cultivate.
As a result, this cultivation was found to be impossible to stop at all, with the assistance of the remaining spiritual power of the elixir, its cultivation was even higher with the rising tide, first the peak of the early stage of the Jindan, then the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan, and even the current late stage of the Dan can be stopped.
During the entire cultivation process, I don't know if it was related to the Three Turns Taiyi Pill, almost in one go, without encountering the slightest bottleneck. Naturally, he was overjoyed!
You must know that it is difficult to cultivate after the Dan, and it is very normal for each small realm to take ten or even decades to improve, especially if you are still cultivating Bibo Gong.
Among the hundred Jindan monks of the Zhong family, the early stage accounted for eighty percent, and it was even more common for those who stayed in the early stage to not advance an inch all year round, which is enough to explain this matter. He was able to get this strange fate and break through to the late stage of Jindan in one fell swoop, and Shouyuan broke through to hundreds of years in one fell swoop, and the path of cultivation in the future will naturally be smoother.
However, with such a fast cultivation speed, if it is known to others, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and it will even be investigated by someone with a heart to find out the cause, which is very bad.
So under the scruples in his heart, he deliberately restrained his aura and concealed his cultivation, if it weren't for the monk whose cultivation was much higher than him, he deliberately checked it with his divine sense, and would definitely not find any clues.
At this moment, in his dantian, a thumb-sized golden bead rotated slightly in the spiritual sea, and there was a golden streamer on the surface that rotated, and between breathing and breathing, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously converging towards his body from all directions, as if he had endless power.
"Now that Jin Dan has succeeded, it's time to mention that matter to him next. Zhong Shen took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
As soon as the words fell, the water under his feet shone together, and the whole person turned into a blue light, heading towards the direction of the highest mountain.
"Uncle Qing, do you know when my father will come back?" In front of the side hall, Zhong Shen stood tall and asked in a deep voice.
"Young Master Shen, the patriarch is in a hurry to go out this time because of an urgent matter in the clan, and when he will return, the old slave is not very clear. However, Young Master Shen was able to form a golden pill as he wished, and the patriarch would definitely be very pleased when he found out. Qingbo looked at Zhong Shen and said with a smile.
"In that case, then I'll come back another day, boy takes his leave. Zhong Shen saluted Qingbo and turned to leave.
Qing Bo looked at Zhong Shen's distant figure, his body was motionless, and after a while, he shook his head slightly, turned around and walked into the side hall.
......
In an unknown secret realm, there was a white mist everywhere, making everything around look a little hazy.
At this moment, a sturdy man in a gray shirt was holding a black spear in one hand, slowly walking in this invisible white mist.
The man is in his early twenties, his arms are exposed and his muscles are knotted, and he is not holding a gun, and he is wearing a black fist glove.
Compared with more than a year ago, Zhong Daotian's expression at this moment became more and more indifferent, and from his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry at the moment.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows slightly, stopped, and the black spear in his hand rose like lightning, stabbing somewhere, causing the fog around him to roll for a while.
The tip of the spear blurred for a while, and suddenly disappeared into the void, and in another void more than ten feet away, a black spear tip emerged.
With a loud "bang", the void cracked inch by inch like glass, and then collapsed and disappeared.
The black shadow flashed, and then a voice sounded: "Ouch, Brother Daotian, don't do it, I'll quit, quit." ”
As he spoke, he saw a figure stumbling out of the void, and the black spear also stopped less than three inches in front of his eyebrows, causing him to shudder.
This is a square-faced young man who looks to be in his twenties, holding a dagger-like magic weapon in one hand and a small round shield covered with cracks in the other.
As soon as his figure appeared, he took out a jade talisman from his waist without saying a word, crushed it, and suddenly a roll of white light flew out of it, and his figure disappeared in place one by one.
"Come out, why do you want to hide and hide, do you want me to help you show up?" Zhong Daotian watched the other party disappear in front of him, and suddenly shouted.
"Hehe, Zhong Daotian, your divine sense fruit is very comparable, it seems that you have discovered our whereabouts very early. The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face in a black brocade robe, who looked to be in his thirties, and walked out of the fog that rolled like the clouds were like the sun.
At the same time, behind Zhong Daotian and to the left and right, there was also a roll of fog and a person came out of each person.
The four of them actually surrounded Zhong Daotian in the middle.
