Chapter 153: Advanced Mid-Term
Opening the furnace cover, Ye Chunyang was delighted.
After three years, hundreds of top-grade ancient pills have been successfully refined.
During these three years, Ye Xiaobao also killed a lot of first-level monsters outside the cave, and he also took all of them and integrated them into the pills.
Looking at the hundreds of top-grade spiritual pills filled with spiritual energy floating around, Ye Chunyang felt a little relieved.
This time, whether it was the materials or the techniques, Ye Chunyang followed the ancient recipes and did not fail. It can be seen that even if his alchemy skills have not reached the master level, they can be regarded as entering the hall, which is difficult for his peers to reach.
After practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, he selected a colorful pill and held it in his hand to examine it.
"Is there really a pill in the world that can make people look forever?"
Staring at the pill, Ye Chunyang murmured softly.
This pill is called "Zhuyan Pill". It was made by him according to the ancient method of the Holy Pattern Tripod and many ancient medicinal materials. Although it cannot make people immortal, it can keep people young forever. It is a pill that female cultivators are very eager to make. Unfortunately, few people in the world can make it.
Cultivating immortals can make people pursue longevity, but it cannot keep a youthful appearance. Ye Chunyang naturally does not want to be gray-haired after a hundred years. He has been collecting the medicinal materials needed for the "Zhuyan Pill" for many years. However, this pill is rare, and finally he got what he wanted among the many collections in Lingkun Cave.
Regardless of whether the effect of this pill is as magical as the rumors, Ye Chunyang took it without hesitation.
After the pill entered the body, there was a faint warm current, and there was no other abnormality afterwards.
Ye Chunyang was puzzled by this, but thought that this pill was not a pill to improve spiritual energy after all, so it was normal to be so calm, so he stopped worrying about it.
Then, he took other pills for auxiliary improvement and took them one by one.
Hundreds of pills dissolved in his body, and Ye Chunyang suddenly felt his body burning hot.
Now he is no longer ignorant as he was at the beginning, knowing that this is the state of drug properties being stimulated, and immediately called Ye Xiaobao to sit opposite him and practice Taoism together.
A faint glow lingered around him, and the spiritual power that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out at this moment, and the cave was instantly filled with light.
In the light circle, Ye Chunyang was like a god, with a solemn appearance.
Not long after, he was surrounded by colorful light, illuminating the dark cave, and all kinds of auspicious scenes appeared around him, and his body was also entrusted by this strange phenomenon.
If this scene fell into the eyes of ordinary mortals, they would probably think that he had left his mortal body and ascended to become an immortal.
On the opposite side, Ye Xiaobao's body was looming, and from time to time, a dull spiritual impact sound came from his body.
With the qualifications of a natural spiritual root, he made faster progress than Ye Chunyang in refining the power of the medicine. After only a few hours, he heard the sound of rushing waves from his dantian.
Seeing that Ye Xiaobao's advancement was so strong, Ye Chunyang smiled bitterly.
If it weren't for his low aptitude, Ye Xiaobao would have entered the middle stage of foundation building in the past ten years of cultivation.
Fortunately, it is not too late now. After years of suppression and the assistance of many spiritual medicines, it can be considered a breakthrough.
In addition to the Origin Heavenly Scripture, the Spirit Spoon and many ancient treasures, if he can successfully advance this time, he will not have to be afraid of Duan Qian again.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chunyang put aside all distractions and used all his strength to activate the Origin Heavenly Scripture. The five elements of spiritual roots complemented each other perfectly, and the cultivation of the two bodies was gradually rising.
…
On the West Mountain Ridge, the wind and snow were still blowing.
One day three months later, the mountain suddenly shook, and a strong wave of spiritual energy came from the ground. In a certain ice cave, a faint glow rose.
Countless low-level snow monsters on the West Mountain Ridge looked at this place from afar, with horror in their eyes, and retreated back to the cave house again and again, not daring to come out.
But after the light hit the air, it was blocked by the forbidden light shield and soon returned to calm.
A few months later, a young man in black appeared at the entrance of the ice cave, with a shining aura and a majestic aura.
After staying at the entrance of the cave for a while, he suddenly moved, sacrificed a pair of golden maces, flew down the mountain, and soon disappeared.
This young man was naturally Ye Chunyang, who had successfully broken through the middle stage of foundation building.
In fact, he had completed the advancement several months ago. The reason why he did not leave the cave immediately was that he needed to stabilize his cultivation when he just advanced, and the strange phenomenon was too big when he broke through. If he appeared at that time, he might attract high-level monsters and even alarm the monks down the mountain.
Although the environment of Xishanling is harsh and there are mostly only casual cultivators nearby, it is hard to guarantee that there will be some old monsters with amazing cultivation among these casual cultivators. Ye Chunyang was cautious and did not dare to take this risk.
After driving the ancient treasure golden mace around the glacier for several circles, Ye Chunyang returned to the cave with peace of mind after confirming that there was no one nearby.
Normally, after advancing, Ye Chunyang would try to go to the Silent City.
But he suddenly thought that in the past few years, the righteous and the evil were mostly fighting, and the realm of immortal cultivation at this time was full of good and bad people, extremely dangerous, and if he showed up rashly, he would probably be killed.
On the contrary, the West Mountain Ridge was very peaceful, and no one thought that he would hide here, so he changed his mind and decided to wait and see for a while, and find an opportunity to go down the mountain to find out the news in the future.
He had a lot of medicinal materials on him, and as long as his spiritual power was consumed, he could immediately start refining pills, relying on pills to replenish, and he didn't have to worry about surviving here.
It's just that there was no one in the West Mountain Ridge, and it was inevitable that he would feel lonely alone.
Fortunately, Ye Chunyang was used to being alone, and with Ye Xiaobao and many Taoist methods as his companions, he didn't feel bored.
"Su Xueyuan and Duan Qian were chasing me three years ago. If I want to get information, I must not go to Xiuxian City again. Otherwise, once my whereabouts are exposed, they will definitely not let me go again."
Returning to the cave and sitting cross-legged, Ye Chunyang was silent and thoughtful.
There are many eyes and ears of both good and evil in Xiuxian City. The last time I asked Old Man Lu to repair the Floating Pearl, he was extremely cautious and almost had his identity discovered by Duan Qian. If he goes out again this time, he must have a foolproof plan.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at the teleportation array aside, showing great interest.
"Back then, the demonic cultivator was forced into desperation and had no choice but to set up this formation in order to escape. Unfortunately, he spent his entire life unable to complete it. I don't know what kind of mystery is hidden on the other side of this formation?"
Ye Chunyang remembered that when he got the ancient scroll, it was recorded that this teleportation array could lead to a mysterious place called "Six Paths". However, there were never any rumors related to this in the world of immortality, which made him feel a little confused. curious.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, so why not study this formation, maybe there will be some unexpected gains!
So I walked around the teleportation array and carefully observed every formation route.
However, when he reached the southeast corner, his expression suddenly hardened.
Ye Chunyang found that the formation path here was actually broken. It was probably because of this that the teleportation formation became as damaged as it is now.
I have to say that the magic cultivator is also an astonishing genius. From the appearance alone, this formation is extremely complicated. If he hadn't studied the formation, Ye Chunyang would not have been able to understand that the formation path in the southeast was incomplete, causing the entire formation to be damaged. The magic power failed.
Even so, the predecessor has completed most of the formation. If the remaining formation paths can be completely arranged, it may be possible to activate the formation.
Touching his chin, Ye Chunyang looked thoughtful, then took out the ancient scroll left by the demon cultivator and read it carefully.
"According to the formation method, the formation path here is incomplete. To repair it, a lot of spiritual stones and materials will be needed. It seems that I will have to go down the mountain in the next few days, but for now, I can complete other parts first."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chunyang put away the ancient scroll, placed various array flags, and began to repair the teleportation array according to the instructions in the ancient scroll.
For the next time, Ye Chunyang was immersed in repairing the ancient teleportation array.
It was only after coming into contact with this formation that he discovered the greatness of the immortal cultivators in ancient times. The complexity of this formation was probably something no one in the world could conceive of today.
Even the Taoist world, which is famous for its formation skills, probably does not have such ability.
On this day, Ye Chunyang hurried out of the cave and did not return until noon.
However, when he returned to the cave, there were several light balls with astonishing aura in his hand, and all of them were first-level monster inner elixirs.
Now that he was in the middle stage of foundation building, and with Ye Xiaobao secretly taking action, it would be easy to set up an array to surround and kill several similar snow monsters.
The inner elixir of the demonic beast has powerful demonic power. Although it is not as pure as the spirit stone, it is also indispensable for repairing the ancient teleportation array. Bringing these few pieces back this time can also play a vital role in the repair.
"Now only the formation path in the southeast direction has not been completed, and the other parts have been completed."
After extracting the demonic power of the inner elixir and integrating it into the formation flag, Ye Chunyang clapped his hands, showing a look of relief.
Now that most of the ancient teleportation array has been restored, as long as you don't know the last part, you can try to activate it. Then you can see what mysteries are in the "Six Paths" recorded in the ancient scrolls.
However, even the devil cultivator could not complete this last part. It was an arduous task for Ye Chunyang to perfect it.
Moreover, in order to perfect this place, some materials need to be supplied. From this point of view, he has to go down the mountain.
Thinking of this, Ye Chunyang strengthened the forbidden method outside the cave, put on the ghost mask and rushed down the mountain.
He has explored the area several times in recent days. There are indeed very few people in this western mountain range. This will make things much easier for him.
The only thing that made him difficult was that the materials to complete the teleportation array could only be purchased in Xiuxian City, so he had to take another risk.
While flying, Ye Chunyang was planning an action plan.
"Although I need to purchase materials, Tianyang City is close to Lingyun Sect, and there is no guarantee that Su Xueyuan's people will be checking nearby. I must never go here again."
After thinking for a while, Ye Chunyang decided that it would be better to go to the more remote Xiuxian City to avoid being discovered by the good and evil people.
With this in mind, he no longer flew with his weapon, but used the Floating and Sinking Pearl to teleport in the void using the ancient pagoda formation.
Although this formation cannot be teleported over long distances, its speed is much faster than the flight of a royal weapon, and it will not attract attention. It is an excellent escape magic weapon.
Because he wanted to stay away from good and evil, Ye Chunyang tried his best to travel to remote places this time. He flew for half a month before stopping at Beihai, the Sea of Return.
This place is thousands of miles away from the center of Dongzhou. There are many scattered islands. Most of them are scattered cultivators and some second- and third-rate sects nearby.
In his early years, Ye Chunyang heard that there was a "Black Rock City" here. Although it was not as large as Tianyang City or other large immortal cultivation cities, he did not need to worry about anyone recognizing him when purchasing here.
Of course, the reason why this place was chosen was not entirely due to status, but because Black Rock City was one of the few immortal-cultivating cities in the Sea of Guixu, and occasionally some rare treasures would appear.
Ye Chunyang came here with the intention of searching for treasures.
After watching in the distance for a while, Ye Chunyang flew forward after confirming the target.
But at this moment, he suddenly paused and saw a figure rushing towards the island where Black Rock City was located, followed by several rays of light.
