Chapter 1297 Gudan Conference
Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at this elder Gongsun with admiration.
After Xiao Lin advanced to the Void Refining Realm, he began to refine sixth-level elixirs. As the elixirs he refined became higher and higher in grade, he gradually found that he was starting to become somewhat incompetent in elixir refining.
The higher the grade of the elixir, the more special techniques need to be added to the refining process, and the power of rules may even need to be used to pour it into the elixir.
These processes are extremely cumbersome and complicated, and a little carelessness may lead to the failure of alchemy.
Therefore, if you want to become a top-level purple-level alchemist, you not only need a large supply of resources, but also talent and opportunity. It can be said that both are indispensable.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, it was natural for him to be the keynote speaker at this ancient elixir conference.
"Eh? Elder Xue, is that a market selling elixirs over there?" Xiao Lin suddenly saw that on one side of the valley, there was actually a valley within a valley. There were many immortal cultivators gathered in that valley, and there were many Stall, most of the cultivators who entered this valley walked towards that valley.
Hearing this, Xue Lingshan said with a smile: "It will still be some time before Elder Li Gongsun talks about the mysteries of alchemy, and every ancient alchemy conference, as usual, will open up some exchanges on elixirs, elixir recipes, craftsmanship, and elixirs. Many Alchemists can also trade the elixirs they refine in the [Danxiang Valley] to exchange what they need. Of course, they can also sell some of the elixirs they don’t use in exchange for the elixirs they need.”
After hearing the explanation, Xiao Lin understood.
"So that's it." Xiao Lin didn't expect that this ancient elixir conference would have so many famous places, and he sighed in his heart that this trip was well worth it.
After a few people chatted for a while, the elder named Mu, as well as elders Guan and Gongsun left one after another. They still needed to prepare some matters for the conference.
As for Xiao Lin, he was naturally handed over to Xue Lingshan.
The two started walking in the valley.
"I really didn't expect that the last time I saw Brother Xiao, he was only in the middle stage of Xuzhou Refinement. Less than a hundred years later, he has already advanced to the late stage of Xuzhou Refinement. This really surprised Lingshan."
Xue Lingshan's words brought the distance between the two closer again.
Xiao Lin didn't take it too seriously. Meeting a human sect in this deserted sea really made him feel a lot more intimate. Moreover, Xiaodanshan relied on alchemy as the foundation of its sect and had no real interests with him. Conflict, on the contrary, Xiao Danshan can use Xiao Danshan's accumulation in the alchemy path to improve his alchemy skills, and Xiao Lin has no intention of rejecting it.
"Fairy Xue is overly praised. Xiao's cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of refining the void, and he has made a lot of preparations before he dared to try to attack the late stage of the refining of the void. However, Xiao's luck is not bad, and the attack was successful by chance, but it was also Therefore, I have been delayed for a lot of time, so I just came to attend the Gudan Conference. I hope the fairy won't mind. "
"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? Lingshan is also happy for Brother Xiao that Brother Xiao can advance to the late stage of Void Refining. In comparison, the Ancient Pill Conference is still secondary. Besides, the Ancient Pill Conference is held every ten years. With our level, Yes, you can participate at any time.”
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Xiao looked at Fairy Xue. She is already full of energy and full of magic power. It seems that she has advanced to the peak of the late stage of virtual refining. I am afraid that she will be able to advance to the peak of virtual refining soon. When the time comes, she will also advance to the integration stage. Just around the corner.”
When Xue Lingshan heard this, she sighed softly, shook her head and said: "Although Lingshan has reached the peak of the late stage of Xu Lian, she still needs to be well prepared to hit the peak of Xu Lian. After all, this is the last disaster among the three minor disasters. It is no small matter, it is the most severe disaster among the three minor disasters. It can be said that nine out of ten of us monks will eventually fall under this evil wind."
Xiao Lin also fell silent when he heard this. These three minor disasters are the calamities that monks in the Void Refining Stage must go through, especially this last small wind. It is said that it can blow directly into the immortal cultivator through his body and all physical defenses. In the soul of the person, if the will is slightly weak, or the power of the soul is not strong enough, it may disappear directly under the wind and become a corpse.
It can be said that the Void Refining Period is the most difficult hurdle for those who cultivate immortality.
The minor three calamities are also called heavenly calamities in the world of immortal cultivation, especially the last calamity of Nifeng, which is also known as the ninety-nine calamities. Its power is very terrifying. As Xue Lingshan said, the cultivator who cultivates the void needs to survive The chance of surviving the 49th and 69th tribulations is about 50%. The probability of surviving the 99th tribulation is less than 10%. The ten immortal cultivators who have hit the peak of refining the void have at least 50% chance of surviving. Eighty-nine people will fall under this wind.
"The days are long. Fairy Xue can postpone the tribulation and make complete preparations first." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin could only comfort him.
Unexpectedly, Xue Lingshan smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Brother Xiao doesn't know that Lingshan has been stagnant in the late stage of refining the void for nine thousand years. In other words, within a thousand years, Lingshan must face this wind. The catastrophe has come, otherwise we can only wait for the end of life and the arrival of the five declines of heaven and man. "
Xiao Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this. What the middle and high-level immortal cultivators are most afraid of is the five declines of heaven and humans. Blood, bone, essence, energy, and spirit are the five sources of immortal cultivators. Once the five declines of heaven and humans come, these five sources will simultaneously With exhaustion, the cultivator will experience endless pain in an extreme period of time.
This kind of torture is even far worse than the pain of soul refining.
Therefore, immortal cultivators would rather sit down before the five declines of heaven and humans come, than experience and bear it personally.
Xiao Lin did not expect that Xue Lingshan had already stagnated in the late stage of refining the void for nine thousand years. In other words, in eight or nine hundred years at most, her lifespan would be exhausted, and during these hundreds of years, there would inevitably be an impact. She must be at the peak of her cultivation, otherwise once her longevity is exhausted, even if it is close to exhaustion, her path to immortality will be cut off.
Xue Lingshan didn't know that it only took Xiao Lin more than a thousand years to cultivate from the late stage of divine transformation to the current late stage of virtual refining. This speed is already shocking. Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Lin relied on the spirit wood. With the help of space, it is possible to advance so quickly with the help of a large number of spiritual elixirs.
Of course, there is also the Sky-Refining Sutra, a heaven-defying technique, which can strengthen Xiao Lin's spiritual realm, otherwise he would not have been able to advance to the late stage of Void Refining so quickly.
Naturally, Xiao Lin would not tell his secret. Hearing what Xue Lingshan said, he was also sighing. Xue Lingshan's experience is actually something that most immortal cultivators will experience.
The road to immortality is a road of no return. This road is littered with bones. The further back you go, the fewer the bones.
This is why the number of monks in the Void Refining Stage is still relatively large in the spirit world. Some middle and high-level sects are also in the realm of the Void Refining Stage, but the number of monks in the Fusion Stage has dropped sharply, let alone transcending tribulations. As well as top-level monks in the Mahayana stage, they are even more rare.
"Xianzi Xue is not an alchemist?" Xiao Lin suddenly saw that although Xue Lingshan was also wearing the clothes of an inner sect elder of Xiaodanshan, there was no alchemy furnace mark on her chest. He couldn't help showing a surprised expression and asked road.
"Giggle, Brother Xiao finally discovered that Lingshan is a different kind of Xiaodanshan. Lingshan is not good at refining alchemy, but likes to study formations. Many of Xiaodanshan's forbidden magic formations are from Lingshan. The Wuling Island where Lingshan is located can also be regarded as the weapon refining workshop of Xiaodan Mountain. Most of the magical weapons driven by the disciples in the sect come from Wuling Island. "
"Oh? It seems that Xue Xianzi is not only good at formations, but also has profound knowledge in weapon refining, which really impresses Xiao." Xiao Lin heard this and looked at Xue Lingshan with admiration.
"Brother Xiao, there is no need to be envious. Lingshan has just been stagnant for too long. She can only pass the time through these side skills. She cannot be said to be profound. Brother Xiao, look, this is the [Youdan Tower] built by our Xiaodanshan. Well, before every ancient elixir conference starts, we will take out some high-quality elixirs refined by our small alchemy sect and sell them in the Youdan Building, and the prices are always 20% off, which can be regarded as a benefit for fellow participants in the ancient elixir conference. Brother Xiao, if you are interested, don’t miss it.”
"There are such good things." Xiao Lin smiled slightly and continued: "Xiao is going to see it later."
"The high-quality elixirs released by our little alchemy sect every time are usually of the fourth and fifth levels. There are not many sixth-level elixirs, and they are basically sold out once they appear. If Brother Xiao wants to buy it, he still needs some As for luck, and given your current level, ordinary sixth-level elixirs have little effect. Unless it is a seventh-level elixir or a superior sixth-level elixir, it may be able to increase some cultivation. "
After saying this, Xue Lingshan showed a hesitant expression on her face, as if she was hesitant to speak.
Xiao Lin looked a little strange and couldn't help but ask: "Does Fairy Xue have anything to say? But it doesn't matter."
There was some hesitation on Xue Lingshan's pretty face, and after a moment, she said, "Brother Xiao, has he practiced some kind of cold flame magical power?"
Xiao Lin suddenly showed a surprised expression. He had cultivated Yugui Bingyan, but he had never used it in front of Xue Lingshan. He didn't know how she knew about it.
But Xiao Lin did not hide it, but nodded and said: "Xiao Lin has indeed practiced the cold flame magical power because of his cultivation skills, but I wonder if the fairy has any purpose in asking this?"
When Xue Lingshan heard this, her pretty face suddenly showed an expression of joy.
"Lingshan wants to ask Brother Xiao for help with something. Of course, Brother Xiao's work will never be in vain. As long as Brother Xiao agrees to help, Lingshan will be grateful."
Before Xiao Lin could ask, Xue Lingshan continued: "After the Gudan Conference is over, please ask Brother Xiao to move to Wuling Island. How about we discuss it in detail?"
Although Xiao Lin had doubts in his heart, Xue Lingshan said this, so he couldn't rush to ask and nodded.
"That's fine. Since Fairy Xue has invited me, Xiao should be the one to bother me."
Xue Lingshan gave Xiao Lin the feeling of being simple and kind-hearted, and her expression clearly indicated that she wanted something from her, and it was difficult to refuse her immediately.
Moreover, the reason why I was able to participate in the Ancient Dan Conference this time was because Xue Lingshan gave me the Xiaodanshan Keqing Elder Token.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao, for your trust." Xue Lingshan was overjoyed when she heard that Xiao Lin agreed to her invitation and thanked her repeatedly.
"Fairy Xue is welcome."
After the two chatted for a while, a burst of ancient bells suddenly sounded in the valley. Only then did Xiao Lin notice that there was a huge attic halfway up Xiaodan Mountain. There was a copper bell hanging in the attic. The sound is coming from it.
"The Gudan Conference has begun, let's go and take a seat." Xue Lingshan said with a smile.
Xiao Lin nodded and followed Xue Lingshan to the center of the valley. Under Xue Lingshan's guidance, he walked to a futon and sat down cross-legged.
At this time, the valley was full of people, but only a few dozen people were eligible to sit on the futon. These dozens of people were all in the Void Refining stage, and Xiao Lin also saw three people sitting cross-legged in the front row. Named old man, the aura exuded by these three old men was as deep as the sea. Even Xiao Lin could not tell the realm of the three of them.
"Are these three monks in the integration stage?"
Xiao Lin was shocked. He did not expect that there would be monks in the integration stage coming to participate in the ancient elixir conference.
"The three of them are all overseas loose cultivators. Among them, the old man with gray hair and boyish face is called Patriarch Pengkun, who lives on Pengkun Ling Island. The other two are a pair of brothers. One of the two brothers is disabled and the other is deaf. They are called As the two ancestors of heaven and earth, the deaf one has cultivated the divine light of heaven, and the one with blind eyes has cultivated the divine power of hearing."
After a pause, Xue Lingshan's voice continued: "These three elders are also famous figures in this deserted sea. They are all in the early stage of integration, and they are all obsessed with alchemy. They are all purple-level alchemists. It's just that Compared to Elder Gongsun, they are still inferior, so every once in a while, they will come to listen to Elder Gongsun's explanation of the secrets of alchemy, and after the conference, they will also go to Elder Gongsun's cave to discuss and learn from each other. "
"I see."
Xiao Lin was astonished in his heart. The vastness of the world is really full of wonders. One of the two ancestors of heaven and earth is blind and the other is deaf. However, the blind one has practiced the magical power of heavenly hearing, and the deaf one has practiced the magical power of heavenly eye. It really surprised him. feeling suprised.
In addition to these three Fusion Stage monks, there are dozens of Void Refining Stage monks, and there are hundreds of other God Transformation and Nascent Soul monks.
Xiao Lin had never seen so many mid-level and high-level monks gathered together, and he was secretly amazed.
He thought that when he was in the mortal world, it would be impossible to gather together as many high-level monks as there were in this valley.
At this time, the whole valley suddenly became silent.
Xiao Lin raised his eyes and saw Elder Gongsun walking slowly to the futon at the front. He bowed to everyone below and then slowly sat on the futon.
"The way of elixir is to use the creation of heaven and earth to gather souls into medicine and condense them into elixirs. The lower one is the alchemy way, which gathers Qi and contains the spirit. The middle one is the alchemy way, which contains the spiritual and mysterious space. It takes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fill itself. The upper one is the way of elixir. The Tao of Alchemy contains the power of the rules of heaven and earth and forms its own Tao pattern, which is the Tao Dan."
After Elder Gongsun took his seat, he began to speak directly.
After hearing this, Xiao Lin's expression immediately became serious. Elder Gongsun's introduction to alchemy started with an astonishing statement. He divided alchemy into three categories: upper, middle, and lower. As an alchemist, Xiao Lin also Naturally, I understand the mystery.
Among the methods of elixir, the lower one gathers spirits, the middle one controls the sky, and the upper one contains Tao.
With Xiao Lin's current ability in alchemy, he can barely reach the middle level.
