Even if the second-grade 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' in Li Shiming's spiritual lake was running at full power, it could not help him transform the spiritual power he absorbed and cultivated into pure spiritual power.
This filled his meridians with spiritual power, and the spiritual power kept piling up. Even though he was taking a top-grade third-grade meridian-protecting pill, he still felt a dull pain coming from various parts of his meridians.
He knew how to deal with the situation, but he had no guarantee that his judgment was correct or that his previous ideas would succeed.
At this point, he could only proceed according to his previous ideas.
The second-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' in the Spirit Lake was connected to the third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' outside his body. Based on his own research on formations, he intentionally introduced the energy of the third-grade five-element formation materials at the five nodes of the third-grade five-element formation into his body.
Under normal circumstances, he would never be able to do it.
But it is different now. He is in a state of promotion, and the rules of heaven and earth linger around him, allowing him to absorb massive amounts of spiritual energy and allowing his spirit lake to accommodate more spiritual power.
It was also because of the influence of the rules of heaven and earth that he was certain that he could upgrade the grade of the second-grade 'Five Elements Air Gathering Array' in the Spirit Lake.
Under his conscious guidance, the third-grade five-element energy from the five nodes of the third-grade 'Five-Elements Gas Gathering Array' followed the connection lines of the two 'Five-Elements Gas Gathering Arrays' and entered the nodes of the 'Five-Elements Gas Gathering Array' corresponding to the five elements in Linghu Lake respectively.
The speed at which the second-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' in his body purifies spiritual energy is increasing rapidly as the third-grade five-element energy within the nodes of the 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' grows. The light of the five nodes of the third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' around him is dimming.
Elder Su and Elder Ma looked at each other in confusion as they looked at what was happening on his side, not knowing what had gone wrong.
Elder Su and Elder Ma have broad knowledge, but they have never seen what happened to Li Shiming.
In addition, Li Shiming was in the process of being promoted, so the two elders did not dare to use their divine sense to observe and could only judge based on their experience with their eyes.
Without any experience to help, the two elders could not understand what Li Shiming was doing.
It was precisely this incomprehension that made the two elders even more worried.
Originally, when Li Shiming broke through the Jindan stage, Elder Su and Elder Ma were not very worried.
Although Li Shiming's spiritual roots are not good, his fortune is really too deep. Although this has both advantages and disadvantages, deep fortune is definitely a plus for breaking through bottlenecks.
Elder Su and Elder Ma were extremely optimistic and thought that if even someone as blessed as Li Shiming could not break through the Jindan stage, then his blessing was fake.
But when Li Shiming really broke through, they realized that no matter how good Li Shiming's fortune was, he could not stop himself from committing suicide.
Look at how Li Shiming was promoted. He first practiced two skills at the same time, greedily wanting to obtain the golden elixir blessed by the effects of the two skills.
And now he has created a strange five-element formation, and it seems that he is absorbing the energy of the five-element formation.
Elder Su even thought that it would be strange if Li Shiming successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage.
He was already thinking about how to comfort Li Shiming after his failure to be promoted, so that he would not sink into despair.
Li Shiming had no idea what his two masters were thinking. At the moment, his mind was completely focused on his promotion. The second-grade five-element energy in the second-grade 'Five-Elements Qi Gathering Array' in his body was being replaced by the third-grade five-element energy.
This replacement process took a quarter of an hour, and the 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' in his spiritual lake was upgraded to a third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array'.
The speed of the third-grade 'Five Elements Air Gathering Array' greatly increased the spiritual power. The spiritual power he absorbed through cultivation and transformation was easily purified by the third-grade 'Five Elements Air Gathering Array' and transformed into the purest five-element spiritual power.
The barrier of 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' disappeared, and Li Shiming's speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased again. At this time, all the spiritual energy in the entire Chijian Peak was drained, and only the spiritual veins in the cave, with the enhancement of the third-grade gold chain and the Pure Spirit Koi, were barely enough for Li Shiming to absorb.
Elder Su and Elder Ma watched as the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' lost its spiritual power and turned into a mortal object, but they found that it did not affect Li Shiming's promotion. Instead, it made the spiritual power in Li Shiming's body react more violently, which they thought was a good thing.
But in a blink of an eye they discovered that trouble had come again. The mountain where Li Shiming was located had a unique spiritual vein that could be used to supply spiritual veins for Jindan stage cultivators to practice with all their strength.
However, such a spiritual vein actually showed signs of being unable to support Li Shiming's absorption.
They couldn't imagine why the spiritual lake in Li Shiming's body could absorb spiritual energy so quickly. Even if it was because he was in a promoted state and was affected by the rules of heaven and earth, Li Shiming's speed in absorbing spiritual energy exceeded that of a Jindan stage cultivator.
Li Shiming also absorbed so much spiritual energy for some unknown reason, and then the spiritual energy was converted into spiritual power through two exercises and entered into the spiritual lake.
Based on what he had seen when the senior sister broke through, and the information he had read from the sect, he should be experiencing a contraction of spiritual energy in his spiritual lake right now, and the center of the contraction should be where the embryonic form of the golden elixir should be.
But until now, he felt that he had absorbed more than twice as much spiritual energy as his senior sister, but there was still no contraction of spiritual power in his spiritual lake.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' underwent a change.
It can be said that no cultivator has ever tried to introduce a formation into the Spirit Lake. The fact that he was able to form a formation in the Spirit Lake was the result of his messing around without the guidance of a master.
The fact that he did not go astray may be due to his good fortune.
Now the consequences of his mess appeared. The five nodes of the third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' began to absorb different five-element spiritual powers respectively. At the same time, the spiritual power generated by cultivation entered the third-grade 'Five Elements Gas Gathering Array' for transformation and was no longer spit out, but was directly absorbed by the five nodes.
Other cultivators only have one spiritual power contraction point, but Li Shiming now has five spiritual power contraction points in his spiritual lake, which are the five five-element nodes of the third-grade 'Five-element Qi Gathering Array'.
Li Shiming felt like he was going crazy. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he continued absorbing like this.
But he soon discovered that another serious problem was standing in his way.
There was not enough spiritual energy. A spiritual vein specially used by Jindan cultivators was not enough to support Li Shiming, a foundation-building cultivator, to break through the Jindan stage. No one had expected this.
At the current absorption rate, even using mid-grade spirit stones is not enough, mainly because the speed of extracting spiritual energy from mid-grade spirit stones cannot keep up with the speed of his absorption.
Although he also has top-grade spirit stones, they are divided into different attributes. He only has top-grade spirit stones with two attributes. He dare not absorb them randomly. If the five elements of spiritual power in his body are unbalanced, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Just then, he thought of something.
His mind moved slightly, and a golden sphere appeared in front of him.
As he practiced the 'Five Rhythms Qi Refining Art' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art', a large amount of spiritual energy was continuously drawn out from the golden sphere. The amount of spiritual energy far exceeded the supply of the spiritual veins.
For a moment, the golden sphere satisfied his need for spiritual energy.
"That's the golden elixir!" Elder Su rubbed his eyes with his hands and said in a low voice with some disbelief.
He could no longer keep silent, he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Golden elixir, I don’t know which unlucky golden elixir cultivator was killed and his golden elixir was taken away.
As a Jindan cultivator, Elder Su was filled with fear like a violent storm. He could not imagine that a foundation-building cultivator like Li Shiming could actually hold a Jindan cultivator's golden elixir in his hand.
It is not easy to take the golden elixir of a Jindan cultivator. The connection between the golden elixir and the Jindan cultivator cannot be interrupted. At least Elder Su does not know what means can interrupt the connection between the Jindan cultivator and the golden elixir.
If one wants to seize the golden elixir of a Jindan cultivator and keep sufficient spiritual power inside the golden elixir, one needs to seize the golden elixir while the Jindan cultivator is still alive and forcibly separate the connection between the Jindan cultivator and the golden elixir.
This is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do, not even a Jindan stage cultivator can do it. Only a Yuanying stage ancestor has such means.
However, it is not easy for a Yuanying ancestor to snatch the golden elixir from a Jindan cultivator, mainly because a Jindan cultivator can make his golden elixir self-destruct with just a thought.
If you kill a Jindan cultivator and then take his Jindan, the spiritual power inside the Jindan will continue to be lost, and all you get is something useless.
It is precisely because this kind of golden elixir full of spiritual power is extremely difficult to obtain, and any golden elixir cultivator is hostile to the act of snatching the golden elixir, which makes this kind of golden elixir so rare in the world of immortal cultivation that Elder Su has lived for hundreds of years and has never seen one with his own eyes.
"Has this kid ever killed a Jindan cultivator with his own hands?" Elder Ma also asked softly.
"I killed him not long ago. However, judging by the depth of the spiritual power of this golden elixir, it should not be the golden elixir of that female golden elixir cultivator!" Elder Su thought of Fang Lu who was killed by Li Shiming, compared the golden elixir in front of him and replied.
Elder Ma was concentrating on alchemy, and it was the first time he knew that Li Shiming had actually killed a Jindan cultivator with his own hands. He just asked casually, but heard such an answer.
"The aura of this golden elixir is extremely sharp, with a faint hint of sword intent. It is probably the golden elixir of a sword cultivator!" Elder Su continued.
The more he spoke, the less confident he became. He didn't dare use his divine sense, and based solely on the aura emanating from the golden elixir, he believed that what he said was unreliable.
In fact, his judgment was correct. This was exactly the golden elixir of the golden elixir sword cultivator, Yun Xingyi's golden elixir.
Probably no one would believe that Li Shiming had killed a Jindan cultivator when he was in the Qi Refining Stage and was also a well-known swordsman in the Northern Shu Continent.
With the spiritual energy provided by the golden elixir, the suction force of the five nodes of the third-grade "Five Elements Air Gathering Array" in Li Shiming's spiritual lake is getting stronger and stronger, and the five nodes have already begun to experience spiritual power contraction.
"Could it be that five golden elixirs are going to be formed?" His scalp felt numb. Is it really possible for five golden elixirs to exist at the same time in this world?
It was impossible to stop the promotion at this time. The spiritual energy in Yun Xingyi's golden elixir was continuously absorbed into his body. The five spiritual power contraction points greedily absorbed the five elements of spiritual power, and all of these five elements of spiritual power were filled with electric light.
The condition of his body was beyond his imagination, and the possibility of five golden elixirs forming together was increasing.
And his demand for spiritual energy was increasing. The spiritual energy in Yun Xingyi's golden elixir was no longer enough to supply five golden elixirs.
If Yun Xingyi was in his prime, his golden elixir would have had sufficient spiritual power. But when Li Shiming killed Yun Xingyi, Yun Xingyi was seriously injured and was about to take over another body.
At this time, the spiritual power in Yun Xingyi's golden elixir was pitifully low.
Of course, no matter how little it is, it is no problem for this golden elixir to supply all the spiritual energy for two or three cultivators to form golden elixirs.
But Li Shiming had five golden cores to absorb spiritual power, which caused Yun Xingyi's golden core to be sucked dry in a short time.
Almost at the moment when Yun Xingyi's golden elixir was sucked out, Li Shiming took out another golden ball.
In order to be able to advance to the Golden Core Stage, he had used up all his stock.
At this point, Elder Su and Elder Ma were both stunned. Was this their disciple? Was this a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
Even if Li Shiming is an alchemy master, a highly skilled alchemy master, he can gain wealth quickly.
But which Jindan cultivator would give up the Jindan in order to obtain the elixir? The Jindan is cultivated and grown from countless third-grade elixirs, and its value is immeasurable.
Of course, this is the golden elixir in the body of the Jindan cultivator. The real way to develop the golden elixir that was robbed can only be found on the side of the demon cultivators. Since the golden elixir is extremely rare, there is no accurate value for its true value.
Look at Li Shiming, a small foundation-building cultivator, who casually took out two golden elixirs in order to absorb spiritual energy.
This shows that the deaths of at least two Jindan monks were related to Li Shiming, otherwise how could Li Shiming obtain the most precious golden elixir of the Jindan monks.
Although Elder Su and Elder Ma were shocked, they had no other thoughts.
It has been said before that Li Shiming is too important to the Shushan Sect. Not to mention that Li Shiming only took out two golden elixirs to help break through the realm, even if Li Shiming used these two golden elixirs to practice magic, the sect would turn a blind eye.
The three disciples in the late foundation building stage who were watching Li Shiming's promotion process were already doubting their lives. They stared blankly at the previous golden elixir falling to the ground and turning into pieces, and a new golden elixir replaced the previous one.
This is the golden elixir, the golden elixir that the three disciples in the late stage of foundation building have been pursuing all their lives, but Li Shiming treated it as an ordinary spiritual object and consumed it.
Especially the second senior brother Wan Zheng, his eyes scanned Li Shiming carefully, up and down, left and right. He wanted to see clearly whether Li Shiming was his junior brother, and not some big devil in disguise.
But no matter how he checked, Li Shiming was the Li Shiming he knew, the Li Shiming who would laugh happily when he received his gift when he first entered the sect.
He looked at the expressions of his master Elder Su and his uncle Elder Ma again. If there was something wrong with Li Shiming, these two would definitely be able to tell.
What he saw was that Elder Su and Elder Ma had the same horrified expression as he did, but they had no other expressions or actions, which meant that Li Shiming was his junior fellow apprentice.
"Why did I think of competing with my junior brother before!" Wan Zheng felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
