The golden elixir that Li Shiming took out again was the golden elixir of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon. The spiritual energy in this golden elixir was relatively scarcer.

Fortunately, his need for spiritual energy was much less at this time. As a large amount of spiritual energy poured into his body, the spiritual energy was transformed into the five elements of lightning spiritual power by the two exercises and entered the five spiritual power contraction points respectively.

At this time, solid golden spiritual power appeared at the center of the five spiritual power contraction points.

He understood that the golden elixir was about to take shape, but the fact that there were actually five of them still made him feel extremely unreal.

The two golden elixirs, even if they were over-consumed, contained spiritual energy that was at least what the golden elixir cultivator had accumulated for a hundred years.

You must know that both Yun Xingyi and Liuzhi Yinmo are veteran cultivators in the Jindan period. The spiritual energy in the two golden elixirs became the basis for Li Shiming to form five golden elixirs.

Otherwise, even if he had the Golden Core Spirit Vein and the Spirit Gathering Formation, the spiritual energy at Chijian Peak would definitely not be enough for him to absorb in order to form five golden cores.

If there is not enough spiritual energy, there is no way to talk about promotion.

If he fails in this promotion, the damage he will suffer is simply incalculable. Due to the special nature of the spiritual lake in his body, normal means of repairing the spiritual lake would be useless.

He felt that the absorption of spiritual energy by the five golden pills had slowed down, but along with it, the vitality and spirit in his body were absorbed by the five golden pills.

Speaking of his physique, it can be said that it is absolutely unmatched in the foundation-building period. In addition to practicing the 'Vajra Body Protection Divine Art' and the 'Sword Demon Secret Book', he has also consumed a large amount of third-grade spiritual objects to allow his physique to reach the limit of the foundation-building period.

So even if the five golden elixirs absorbed the vitality of his body, his body could still barely withstand it.

Of course, on the surface, his condition still looks terrible.

His body was slowly losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was a manifestation of the rapid depletion of energy in his body.

But as the body consumes the excess fat, the energy consumption of the muscles in the body slows down significantly.

Because the vitality in his muscles is extremely abundant, which is formed by a large number of third-grade spiritual objects and two body-refining techniques. It can be said that in terms of physique alone, he surpasses many Jindan cultivators.

What made Li Shiming feel most uncomfortable was that his spirit was devoured by five golden pills.

If an ordinary cultivator had his spirit devoured by five golden elixirs, even having his spirit devoured by one golden elixir would probably be unbearable for him.

But his spirit is so strong that he can be ranked among the top among all the foundation-building cultivators in the history of the immortal cultivation world.

He also has a way to make his spirit last a little longer, which makes Devouring the Spirit the easiest hurdle to overcome.

Above his head, a magnificent sea of ​​starlight appeared. The mysterious and profound starlight not only represented the mystery of the formation, but also represented his spirit.

The five golden elixirs devoured his spirit, and he could replace it with the spirit stored in the formation's starlight sea. The only thing to note is that the formation's starlight sea must not be consumed too much, causing it to collapse.

"Formation Master?" Elder Su and Elder Ma exclaimed in surprise.

Immediately they all shut up again, thinking that such disturbance might affect Li Shiming's breakthrough process and distract him.

Elder Su and Elder Ma looked at each other, with helpless smiles in their eyes. How many things did this child hide?

If other cultivators could become formation masters, they would have already gained benefits from this identity.

But look at Li Shiming, if it weren't for the promotion today, it might take an unknown amount of time for his identity as a formation master to be exposed.

Although the formation master is not as popular as the alchemy master, his status in the sect is not low at all.

The sect's large formation needs a formation master to set up, and the maintenance work of important nodes also needs to be carried out by a formation master.

It can be said that formation masters are the talents that a sect must have, but the number of formation masters has always been small.

Every large sect has a large number of formations. In terms of the number of formations that require formation masters to execute, the number of formation masters is far from enough.

Not to mention the Jindan elders and Yuanying ancestors, they also have some needs regarding formations, which require formation masters to operate.

Li Shiming felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker. He had not felt this way since he started practicing Taoism.

He seemed to be falling from a monk to a mortal, and even his body was now inferior to that of a mortal.

Fortunately, his spirit was still under control and he did not lose his mind, so he knew clearly what was happening.

The five golden cores increased a little, but the price of this increase was that the golden core of the Six-Fingered Sound Demon in front of him became dull and gray, his body was so thin that he was almost skin and bones, and the starlight of the formation above his head was dim.

Suddenly, Li Shiming sensed the signals from the five golden elixirs. Without any hesitation, he took a third-grade Dingling Pill emitting purple light.

Elder Su and Elder Ma were no longer surprised that Li Shiming took out a top-grade third-grade Dingling Pill.

He had experienced enough surprises and horrors before, so the appearance of a top-grade third-grade Soul-Fixing Pill seemed insignificant.

After the third-grade Dingling Pill entered his stomach, it immediately turned into energy, stabilizing the spiritual power in his body, and the spiritual energy from the outside world no longer entered his body.

He then went on to take the third-grade top-level Resurrection Pill and the third-grade top-level Breaking the Mountain Pill. By this point, even the dumbest person would understand that he had definitely found some way to refine top-level elixirs.

But given Li Shiming's status, even his alchemy master, Elder Ma, would not ask about it afterwards, let alone mention it.

Elder Su glanced at his disciple Wan Zheng, and Elder Ma also glanced at the two disciples he brought with him. There was a warning in his eyes, and the three disciples in the late foundation building stage naturally understood why.

Li Shiming has a very close relationship with them, and the stronger Li Shiming is, the better it is for them.

Even if it weren't for the master's warning, they would not reveal Li Shiming's secret.

The five golden pills no longer devoured spiritual power, life vitality and spirit. Under the effect of the Breaking Yue Pill, strange changes were taking place inside them.

Li Shiming's aura suddenly rose a lot, and his aura jumped from half-step golden elixir to the early stage of golden elixir.

Afterwards, the five stabilized golden elixirs exhaled spiritual power, vitality and spirit, which were very different in quality from the spiritual power, vitality and spirit that had been swallowed into the golden elixir before.

At this time, the five golden pills spit out the spiritual power, vitality and spirit of the golden pill period. Especially when the five golden pills were spit out at the same time, Li Shiming's breath rose again.

Elder Su and Elder Ma kept their mouths shut. Although they did not use their divine sense, they discovered some clues about Li Shiming, but they would not say it in front of the three disciples.

They sensed that there was something wrong with the golden elixir in Li Shiming's body. The increase in its aura far exceeded the overall improvement that a normal golden elixir would bring to a cultivator.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, the spiritual power, life force and spirit emitted by the golden elixir at this moment should not be too much, it’s just that the quality is higher.

This is to allow the monks to recover to a certain state in order to cope with the next thunder.

However, Li Shiming's condition was not right. The spiritual power, life force and spirit emitted by the golden elixir were so much that not only did Li Shiming's condition recover, but it also improved a lot.

They already regretted bringing three disciples here to observe. There was no need to observe Li Shiming's promotion process at all. If the promotion process of their other disciples had as many twists and turns as Li Shiming's, none of these disciples would be able to survive the promotion process.

At this time, the third-grade top-level resurrection pill was also taking effect. The medicinal power and the vitality emitted by the five golden pills together restored his physical condition.

His body was filled with energy, his dry muscles began to swell, and his skin regained its elasticity and luster.

He activated the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' in order to maximize the opportunity of a large amount of life energy entering his body and improve his physical fitness to resist the upcoming thunder.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of heavenly thunder his five golden elixirs would face.

With the full power of the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic', the true meaning was naturally stimulated, and a huge angry Vajra shadow appeared behind him.

The shackles of Li Shiming's physique disappeared with the formation of the golden elixir. If his physique was naturally restored with the vitality of the golden elixir period spit out by the golden elixir, most of the vitality of the golden elixir would be consumed in restoring itself, and the improvement in the strength of his physique would be limited.

However, when he activated the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' and with the blessing of the Angry Vajra's true meaning, the vitality of the Jindan stage in his body had a greater effect.

Since the five golden pills spit out enough vitality of the Golden Core Stage, and his body's recovery can be quickly repaired without consuming the vitality of the Golden Core Stage under the influence of the Vajra Force generated by the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill'.

Therefore, all the vitality of the Jindan stage was used by the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' to improve his physical level.

In fact, this work should not be carried out at this stage, but should be completed by the reward of the rules of heaven and earth after going through the catastrophe of heavenly thunder.

At that time, the cultivator's physique will naturally evolve to the Golden Core stage, and now the precious Golden Core stage vitality is used to repair itself in order to fight against the heavenly thunder.

If Li Shiming did not have five golden pills, he would not dare to practice the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' at this time. After all, the five golden pills spit out enough vitality of the golden pill stage.

Elder Su and Elder Ma had already wanted to tell their disciples not to use Li Shiming's breakthrough as a reference, because it would be meaningless.

For the time it takes for an incense stick to pass, the scene was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting. Even in the sky outside the Tianmu Peak Mountains, there were cultivators floating in the sky. Although they could not see the situation at the Chijian Peak, they could see the appearance of the heavenly thunder.

The thunder from the sky indicated that the process of Li Shiming's breakthrough had reached the final step, and it was also the end of Li Shiming's breakthrough.

After that, we will know whether Li Shiming has successfully broken through. This matter is extremely important to many Jindan cultivators and Shushan Sect.

Li Shiming ignored the outside world. He used all his strength to operate the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill'. There was not much he could do to fight against the heavenly thunder.

Since his clone Li Yuanba was promoted to the Golden Core stage, he had sensed thunder from the sky twice, and each time was extremely dangerous.

There are five golden elixirs in his body, and he doesn't know what intensity of heavenly thunder the five golden elixirs can withstand.

But he knew very well that the rules of heaven and earth would never let him, an outlier, go, and what he would face next would be the most difficult thing.

Under the watchful eyes of Elder Su, Elder Ma, three disciples in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and many monks from outside sects, the sky above Chijian Peak suddenly darkened.

Then a thick golden lightning bolt fell straight down. When all the monks were shocked by the thickness of the golden lightning bolt, four more thick golden lightning bolts fell successively.

In a moment, five thick golden lightning bolts fell.

All the cultivators were stunned, and many of them even wondered whether Li Shiming had done something that angered heaven and man, causing heaven and earth to bring down such a punishment at this time.

This is no longer just surviving a tribulation, this is simply whipping a corpse!

Yes, whipping the corpse. No one thought that Li Shiming could survive the punishment of five thick golden lightning bolts.

Not to mention the five thick golden lightning bolts, the Jindan cultivators who watched the falling thunder had all been baptized by thunder and naturally knew how terrifying it was.

The heavenly thunder they endured back then was not even half as powerful as any of the five heavenly thunders this time, yet they managed to survive.

The moment the thunder appeared, Li Shiming felt that everything in the world slowed down.

The angry Vajra shadow behind him roared at the thunder in the sky, and a large amount of Vajra power was generated from the anger of the angry Vajra shadow and poured into his body.

The thunder from the sky penetrated all obstacles and fell directly on him.

Every cell in his body, inside and out, was attacked by the thunder.

"Possessed by heavenly thunder!" Li Shiming instinctively felt the crisis of life and death, and he activated the secret method of 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'.

This increased his resistance to lightning, and he hoped that this would allow him to survive the thunder.

'Thunder Possession' really reduced the damage to his body from thunder attacks. Even the tiny lightning transformed from the thunder in his body was resisted by the lightning he summoned from the five golden elixirs.

This is the special feature of thunder magic. Thunder magic still has some advantages in fighting against heavenly thunder.

But before he could rejoice, bolts of heavenly thunder came down one after another, scattering all the lightning he had induced with 'Heavenly Thunder Possession'.

His body, from the inside to the outside, including skin, muscles, abdomen, and bones, were all destroyed by the baptism of lightning. If his vitality had not been enhanced by the previous 'Vajra Body Protection Magic', which was equivalent to becoming a golden elixir body in advance, he might have died on the spot.

Of course, what saved him from dying on the spot was that his five golden elixirs were not destroyed. The golden elixir is the foundation of a cultivator. Although the damage to his body had reached a fatal level, he still had the medicinal power of a top-grade third-grade elixir in his body.

The effect of the third-grade top-level resurrection pill has not yet worn off. This resurrection pill ensures that his vitality is not completely destroyed.
