Long Long, whose demon pill has already formed, is no longer a water viper, but a noble dragon.
He swam nimbly in the sea water, continuously releasing dragon power, using it to shake off the barnacles attached to the turtle shell.
But the old turtle's shell was too big, and it was covered with dense barnacles. After clearing this part, there were still countless pieces. Long Long felt like a bath attendant looking at a clay figure, with no idea where to start.
"Hey, Mr. Turtle." He finally couldn't help but complain, "You are the ancestor of the Xuanwu clan after all. Can't you just use the magic to wash your whole body? Do you have to let me use the dragon's might to clean you?"
"If your ears are itchy, would you choose to dig them or wash them?" the old turtle said slowly.
"Of course..." Long Long was about to say "Of course it's more comfortable to dig your ears", but suddenly reacted, "Well, even if it's better to clean the barnacles manually, why don't you let the Xuanwu tribe send people to clean it for you?"
"Because they don't have dragon power." The old turtle still spoke in a slow tone.
Long Long had nothing to say.
Of course he knew that the old turtle was giving him a chance to repay a favor. After all, saving someone from the aftermath of the catastrophe was a huge favor. How many causes and consequences were involved?
If the revenge is not taken on this old turtle, it will be taken on his descendants, the Xuanwu clan.
Considering the political sensitivity of the Xuanwu clan on the mainland, Long Long would of course rather serve this old turtle man and repay his favor and never waver!
Come on, come on, come on, isn't it just cleaning barnacles? Let me show you, an old turtle who has become an immortal, my skills as a little white dragon in the waves!
Long Long snorted majestically, and his mighty power shook off all the barnacles within a hundred feet area.
"Okay." After a few hours, the old turtle suddenly said, "There is an island ahead. Go there first and wait for me to come over."
Long Long responded and swam quickly towards the island ahead.
After landing on the beach of the island, Long Long quickly transformed into a young man and took out a robe from his bag and put it on.
Not long after, two boys came to greet them.
"May I ask your name?" the boy on the left said, "My master doesn't like strangers, please forgive me."
"Long Long." Long Long nodded and said, "I came here with Master Gui Yue this time."
The two boys looked at each other for a moment, and immediately said in unison:
"Please go to the small pavilion at the back to rest for a while, Senior Long. The two of us will just wait on Immortal Xuanwu here."
Gui Yue is the ancestor of the Xuanwu clan that ruled Beizhou. He is an immortal, so it is no wonder that these two boys dare not neglect him.
Seeing the two men being so respectful, Long Long couldn't help but have a strange illusion that they were taking advantage of the power of the tiger.
After taking a rest in the pavilion, Long Long had nothing to do, so he began to meditate and look inward, counting the great gains he had made after forming the elixir.
…
Before forming the elixir, he practiced the "Nine Heavens Pure Land Realm Mantra", and had eight hundred years of Huafu cultivation. His true essence was far more powerful than his peers, and he could even be said to be the best Huafu cultivator in the world.
But after forming this grade of golden elixir, the abundance of true essence increased almost a hundred times of its original value.
In the Jade Palace, a golden elixir the size of a grain of rice was floating in the center, rotating slowly.
Every time the Qi circulates through a large circle, the golden elixir rotates once, taking in true essence from the Qi sea and expelling more refined true essence, just like a person's breathing.
The power of his true energy also increased greatly. The thunder method that originally consumed a small amount of energy to activate now could be performed as if nothing happened, and the slight consumption was not worth mentioning.
Apart from the true energy, Qiu Changtian only felt that his body was noticeably lighter, his ears and eyes were sharper, his mind was refreshed, and his thinking was more active.
My life span has been extended to a thousand years, so I can enjoy myself for a while.
Let’s get back to the topic. After being promoted to the Golden Core Realm, one must begin preparing for the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Golden Elixir Realm is also divided into three stages: Preserving the Spirit, Seeking the Roots, and Being Subtle. The Preserving the Spirit stage is to immerse the spirit and soul in the Golden Elixir, the Seeking the Root stage is to let the Golden Elixir grow roots, and the Being Subtle stage is to open up the inner scene in the sea of consciousness and connect with the Golden Elixir with the spirit and soul and roots, preparing for the final "Golden Elixir Forming a Fetus Immortal".
There are nine grades of golden elixir, and the Nascent Soul is also divided into five levels, namely ghost, human, earth, god, and immortal.
Among them, ghost infants are those whose infant formation is useless, and whose residual souls are entangled in their primordial infants. They can neither reincarnate nor become immortals, and can only survive by taking over other bodies. If a Jindan Zhenren has a low level of cultivation, his physical body is destroyed by a heavenly calamity, but his soul survives by chance, he will be reduced to this kind.
Human infants were relatively better off, as their bodies were intact. Although they could not ascend to immortality, they could at least wait for death and reincarnation. Those with lower-grade golden elixir had survived the heavenly tribulation, or those with middle-grade golden elixir had not cultivated deeply and had their essence damaged by the heavenly tribulation, and most of them fell into this category.
Earth Infant is the mainstream level of most Nascent Soul cultivators. Although it is possible to ascend to the Immortal Realm, the hope is slim. A mid-level Golden Core cultivator successfully survives the Heavenly Tribulation, or a high-level Golden Core cultivator fails to survive the Tribulation and damages his Origin.
The Divine Infant is a strengthened version of the Earth Infant. Its Nascent Soul has the appearance of "five qi returning to the origin, three yangs gathering at the top", which greatly increases the possibility of ascending to immortality, and the rank of immortality is also higher. The top-grade golden elixir, which can successfully pass the tribulation, is this kind of person.
As for the Immortal Infant, it is a level that only exists in the records in ancient books. It is said that it is only at the Nascent Soul stage, but it possesses some power like an immortal, hence the name.
It’s like the first-grade golden elixir in the golden elixir realm. It exists in theory, but in reality the hope is so slim that it is almost impossible.
The first-grade golden elixir has the standard of Huafu cultivation, but the Nascent Soul grade seems to be only related to the golden elixir grade and whether the fetus formation tribulation has been successfully passed, which gives Long Long a headache.
He has formed a first-grade golden elixir. Even if he successfully passed the tribulation when he was promoted to the Nascent Soul, and only got a Divine Infant in the end, he would definitely be extremely unwilling.
Although the demon clan calls the "Golden Core Realm" the "Transformation Realm" and the "Nascent Soul Realm" the "Demon King Realm", the overall practice system seems to be very similar.
The human race has golden elixirs, and the demon race also has "demon pills"; the human race has Nascent Souls, and the demon race also has "Dong Yuan", which are all similar things.
Although I followed the old turtle this time to repay favors and understand cause and effect, if I could learn from it how to form a top-grade immortal infant... Oh, no, the method of forming a first-class cave essence, then this trip would be quite rewarding.
Long Long was thinking silently when he saw a white-haired old man with his hands behind his back, escorted by two boys, walking slowly towards him from the coast.
This old man is Old Turtle. His expression is calm and composed, and he looks a bit like an immortal.
He was just too short, not much taller than the boys on either side, which gave people a somewhat funny feeling.
Of course, whether for favors or to obtain information, Long Long has made up his mind to curry favor with this old turtle.
"Old man!" Long Long came forward with a smile, "What should we do next?"
"Wait." The old turtle said slowly.
