In today's immortal cultivation system, each realm represents a supreme path of cultivation in the past.

The martial arts evolved from the witches that were so distant that they seemed like myths and legends; and then to the Qigong practitioners who were imprinted in history and are still heard of today, who became the lowest level of Qigong in the realm of immortal cultivation.

But no matter whether they are witches or Qi cultivators, at least there are various stories about them circulating.

The former cultivation paths like [Foundation Building] and [Golden Elixir] seem to have been completely hidden in the years, and even rumors about them are hard to find.

At this time, Wang Qianjun mentioned Zhen Chi's Dao Yun Dan, which finally made Gu Dan recall that particularly familiar feeling.

He has experienced a lot over the years and is no longer the same as before.

I also have my own thoughts in my heart.

Different paths of cultivation, for today's monks, crossing them means "promotion", but for the group of monks back then, they had to stick to one path to the end, and there was no higher path forward.

Theoretically, every path of cultivation can be cultivated to the end, but after the emergence of an enlightened person, this path is blocked, but there is no way to really avoid it. One can only walk on the front road, continue to grope backwards, and change the track.

This layer upon layer of accumulation has formed the current path to immortality. Whenever one reaches a certain level of cultivation, one must consider the special circumstances of how to advance.

As for the true path of cultivation back then, most people only had a vague understanding or even knew nothing about it. They only tried it out briefly and left as soon as they reached the requirements for promotion.

If one can achieve some accomplishments on a path of cultivation and then choose to make a breakthrough in a special way, Gu Dan is undoubtedly the person with the most say.

First of all, there are the advantages in terms of combat power. Gu Dan once used his martial arts innate body to defeat the incomplete and weak half-step transformation god - although the most powerful Dao fruit was killed by Ruomu, you can tell me whether it is a reverse attack! Secondly, there are some more hidden advantages. For example, after achieving martial arts innate, his body was reforged by blood qi, literally reborn, as if recreated.

It's just that because of the body of the Great Dao given by Ruomu, the advantage in this aspect has not been truly revealed, but it cannot be ignored.

The most important thing is that Gu Dan has experience.

If you want to complete the connection of the broken road and continue to return to the right path, you can't really immerse yourself in the search for the ancient avenue. It is not feasible to study the [Golden Elixir Avenue] while you are in the Golden Elixir. You must focus on the next realm and find a way to break through.

Gu Dan was able to advance to the level of innate martial artist by relying on the methods of a Qi Refiner.

A stone from another mountain can polish a jade! For the group of monks at that time, the previous realm was the most profound, far surpassing the later ones.

After all, in a sense, they are one of the eyewitnesses who have witnessed the glory of the previous path of cultivation. Naturally, they will find a way to cross the barrier and move forward.

How can I compare with the achievements of my predecessors who have been studying for generations? Gu Dan happened to have enough knowledge about the next realm after the Golden Core, the [Nascent Soul Avenue] in ancient times.

Yuanying, the spirit travels between heaven and earth, and has spiritual communication outside the body.

The mark left on this path of cultivation is the Way of Forgetting! According to Gu Dan's experience, the so-called Dao Yun Dan, the opportunity to break through to the next realm, is not in the Golden Dan Avenue, but hidden in the Way of Forgetting.

Gu Dan had entered the state of Zuowang three times, and the last time he even obtained supernatural powers and the ability to see through the sky. It was a huge gain.

Even today, recalling that special feeling of becoming a supreme god and controlling the world, one still cannot help but want to immerse oneself in it.

However, the only problem is that you cannot enter the state of Zuowang whenever you want. Gu Dan experienced the state of Zuowang three times. The first two times were just coincidences and he entered on his own, and the last time was when he was taken in when Zhuang Sheng transformed into Tao.

"Brother Kong, you don't really want to challenge yourself and try the Dao Yun Jin Dan, right?"

Seeing Gu Dan looking thoughtful, Wang Qianjun asked in surprise, "Do you also want to learn from that crazy Zhen Chi?"

"Oh, just remembered something."

Gu Dan came back to his senses, smiled, and asked, "Is Zhen Chi the only one walking the Dao Yun Jindan Road?"

"If you ask the talented young people today, it is indeed only Zhen Chi who is making his mark."

Wang Qianjun nodded immediately, "This is why I never provoke him. Someone who is so cruel to me must not be provoked. If he can't break through, who knows if his mind will become twisted. If he starts to go crazy, I'm afraid no one can stop him except the Nascent Soul Master."

"So, someone has walked the Dao Yun Jin Dan Road before?"

Gu Dan once again heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked immediately.

"How could there not be any? The world of immortal cultivation has never lacked geniuses, nor those who think they are the chosen ones. Since the Dao Yun Golden Pill is stronger than the Wu Xia Golden Pill, naturally there will be people who don't believe in it and want to give it a try."

Wang Qianjun shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that without exception, none of those people could break through to the Nascent Soul stage. All the geniuses who tried to condense the Dao Yun Golden Pill died at the stage of breaking the pill and condensing the Nascent Soul stage."

"It seems that it is very difficult for Dao Yun Jin Dan to advance."

Gu Dan nodded slightly.

"If you ask me, there's really no need for that. After the Golden Core, there's the Nascent Soul, and after the Nascent Soul, there's the Spiritualization. There's still a way forward. Why bother fighting to the death with the Dao Yun Golden Core in the Golden Core Realm?

Even if Dao Yun Jin Dan can dominate the Jin Dan realm, won't he still be suppressed by the Yuan Ying Venerable? For the sake of temporary combat power, choosing to increase the difficulty of future breakthroughs is tantamount to asking for trouble and the loss outweighs the gain."

Wang Qianjun does not agree with this choice.

No matter how powerful the Golden Elixir is, it is just a Golden Elixir, not the ultimate realm. You need to keep striving for perfection.

Most people worry about not being able to continue their advancement, but Zhen Chi is different. He creates trouble for himself and is stuck at the level of Golden Elixir Perfection. He has not found a solution for a very long time.

When those of his generation gradually begin to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, what will happen to the Dao Yun Golden Elixir?

You still have to be inferior to others.

Do you understand what realm suppression means?

As the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage, it is true that he is in great glory now. But in the future, when the Saintess of Heavenly Secrets Ying Yao and the Saintess of Joy Luo Qingyin all advance to the Nascent Soul stage, will the title of Zhen Chi still be considered a compliment? To put it more bluntly, by that time, it will be a question whether Zhen Chi can still sit at the same table with them.

Wang Qianjun admired Zhen Chi's ambition, but he did not think Zhen Chi's choice was wise.

The flawless golden elixir is enough, why waste energy? Anyway, everyone's ultimate goal must be to become a god.

The ups and downs before becoming a god do not matter. As long as one can forge the Tao and the Heaven, one can leave a name in the world and even have a chance to live as long as the Heaven. If the Tao is immortal, one will not perish, which is enough to be called an immortal.

"As the saying goes, one can see far when one is at a high place. Zhen Chi's pursuit of the Dao Yun Jindan is probably also for a broader path of cultivation in the future."

Gu Dan simply defended Zhen Chi but didn't say much more.

Starting from the Jindan stage, the watershed has already appeared.

Because of their own choices, limitations of their talents, and lack of resources, the combat power of cultivators at the same level will vary greatly.

This situation is not obvious during Qi training and foundation building, but when it comes to the Golden Elixir stage, it is possible to tell at a glance whether it is a dragon or a worm.

If this is the case in the same realm, what should we do when we break through?

According to Gu Dan's experience, once the Dao Yun Jin Dan breaks through, it will probably be far superior to an ordinary Nascent Soul.

If you seek to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment in this way, even if you do not seek to break through your limits again, it will definitely be much easier. This is called giving up in order to gain.

Where there are risks, there are naturally corresponding benefits.

How can you catch up if you are not willing to make equal efforts? "What if there is no way forward?"

Wang Qianjun shook his head, obviously disagreeing, and changed the subject, saying, "Brother Kong now has more than 6,000 contribution points, which is a huge amount for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if he wants to change to a powerful Golden Core Technique, it is a simple matter."

Contribution points have many uses, and you can even use them to hire experts to guide you, even if they are not from the same sect.

More than 6,000 contribution points is really a lot. Ordinary Jindan would be jealous. Gu Dan has so many contribution points. If he just wants to be promoted to Jindan, it is not a difficult task.

Of course, if you are more ambitious and want the flawless golden elixir, then that is not enough.

"I would like to ask Brother Wang for advice on this. I naturally don't think highly of ordinary golden elixir methods."

Gu Dan is not modest either. Although he did not say directly that he also wants to challenge Dao Yun Jin Dan, his ambition is obviously not limited to that.

"To have a flawless golden elixir, one needs great magical power to refine oneself. The more thorough the refinement, the stronger the golden elixir will be when it is condensed in the future. However, even golden elixir cultivators are eager for such an opportunity, and it is also of great benefit to them. The contribution required is not a small number."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Qianjun said seriously: "If Brother Kong is interested in this, he can find someone from the Changsheng Sect. The Changsheng Sect has a book called "Secrets of the Golden Elixir", which can be said to be the ultimate in the power of the Golden Elixir, including the path of the Dao Yun Golden Elixir, which was first proposed by the people of the Changsheng Sect, but no one has been able to crack it so far."

"oh?"

Gu Dan asked curiously, "Isn't the Changsheng Sect a place that makes pills?"

"Alchemy is also alchemy."

Wang Qianjun laughed, "Each of the nine great sects has its own strengths, and the Changsheng Sect has the best grasp of the Golden Elixir realm. But the Changsheng Sect's Golden Elixir Secret is a sect treasure, and although it is not yet a secret that cannot be passed on, it is not something that anyone can read if they want to.

When I was refining the golden elixir, I was able to see it with the help of the sect, but I couldn’t reveal it to others, otherwise I would violate my oath and my path would be damaged.”

"Thank you for your advice, brother."

Gu Dan said seriously and thankfully.

In any case, he still appreciated Wang Qianjun's kindness.

"You're welcome. Brother Kong is already so impressive in the Foundation Establishment stage. If you advance to the Golden Core stage in the future, I'm afraid you'll be able to stir up trouble. I like making friends with talented people the most, and I'm very optimistic about you."

Wang Qianjun spoke very straightforwardly.

The two of them drank in the Wanxian Tower and talked about many geniuses, mainly the formation maniac, and then Wang Qianjun said goodbye and left.

Gu Dan also left Wanxian Tower and walked directly into Binggong Hall.

"I want to use my contribution points to exchange for the Changsheng Sect's "Secrets of the Golden Elixir."

Without further ado, Gu Dan stated his purpose directly.

Since this is related to the nine great immortal sects, it is still necessary to make a trip here.

"Oh? Wait a minute, let me check the contribution."

After examining it, the cultivator nodded slightly, "Kong Zhai? Not bad, to be able to get so many contribution points with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he is indeed quite capable. We have already notified the cultivators of the Changsheng Sect, you just need to wait for a moment."

It didn't take too long to wait, only about a quarter of an hour.

A monk in a green robe and with a handsome face walked in and saw Gu Dan at a glance.

"You want to exchange for the Secret of the Golden Elixir?"

The Changsheng Sect cultivator's gaze wandered over him for a moment, and then he said, "The secret of the golden elixir requires a full three thousand contribution points, which is enough for you to exchange for a powerful golden elixir method. If you have no intention of challenging the flawless golden elixir, then don't spend this contribution point."

Three thousand contribution points is really not a small number, especially for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is extremely difficult.

The secret of the golden elixir written by the Changsheng Sect was not meant for ordinary people to read. It would be useless to read it because you don't have the ability to do so.

Therefore, the requirement of 3,000 contribution points is to discourage some curious people.

Knowledge has a price.

Simply getting involved in areas that you have never thought about may only add to your troubles.

"It doesn't matter. I've made up my mind."

Gu Dan nodded and said affirmatively.

"Well, come with me."

The monks of Changsheng Sect stopped trying to dissuade him and followed him to a courtyard belonging to Changsheng Sect, asking him to stay there and wait for a while.

This time, they waited for about half an hour before the monk came back with a jade slip in his hand.

"Inside this is the Secret of the Golden Elixir. You must swear a great oath not to reveal it to others. Other than that, you can remember everything in this jade slip, but you cannot take it away from here.

After you have memorized everything, the jade slip will be returned to you."

The green-robed monk from the Changsheng Sect spoke quickly.

For things like skills and magic, including the experience left by their predecessors, the major immortal sects do not mind others exchanging them. As long as they are not the real core things, these things can be copied at will, but they cannot be passed on to others.

The Dharma cannot be passed on lightly. Compared to elixirs, magical instruments and other things that require the consumption of resources, these things are truly priceless treasures and are inexhaustible.

With the credibility of the nine major immortal sects as a guarantee, cultivators do not need to worry about the content not being detailed enough, or that certain key points are deliberately changed, causing people to be cut off from the path of cultivation.

The same secret technique, when sold by different people, would have different prices and value. The "Secret of the Golden Elixir" is unique to the Changsheng Sect and is even more valuable.

Under his guidance, Gu Dan went to a retreat room, made a vow first, and then took the jade slip.

After the monks of the Changsheng Sect left the room, Gu Dan did not delay and his spiritual thoughts penetrated into the jade slip.

Immediately afterwards, a dense torrent of knowledge was transmitted along the jade slip!

Everything about the Golden Elixir unfolds before my eyes. (End of this chapter)
