[Gold is something that is hard and indestructible; elixir is something that is perfect, bright, pure and flawless. The golden elixir was originally made by ancient monks from rare treasures, who believed that taking it could lead to immortality.]

As the divine consciousness touched the jade slip, the knowledge in the jade slip also emerged.

The first sentence is to introduce the origin of the word "golden elixir".

What Wang Qianjun said was indeed correct, golden elixir is also an elixir. Even in ancient times, golden elixir was a reference to elixir.

But times have changed, and the same words have different meanings in different eras.

The Secret of the Golden Elixir of the Changsheng Sect recorded everything in great detail, including the attitude of ancient cultivators towards the golden elixir.

Before the word "Jindan" was not a state of mind but a reference to elixir, the golden elixir itself was refined with the help of various natural treasures and through various incredible and mysterious methods.

Ancient monks believed that by swallowing the golden elixir in this way, they could achieve immortality. There was even a widely circulated saying: Once I swallow a golden elixir, my life will be in my own hands.

It is conceivable how much the cultivators at that time admired the golden elixir.

But unfortunately, immortality is ultimately just a luxury. Even if one is high above and has left his mark on heaven and earth, he still has to go through the assimilation of heaven and earth. There is a difference between theoretical immortality and actual immortality.

Later, after a series of evolutions, a monk suddenly had an idea and started to refine elixirs to help the mysterious things of heaven and earth, and creation came into being.

Then, can this method be used on humans? In other words, can humans cultivate the Supreme Golden Elixir, refine it by themselves, and even save the need to swallow it, so that I am the Golden Elixir myself?

Thus, the real golden elixir, representing the current golden elixir realm, appeared.

The description of the transformation from the golden elixir to the golden elixir realm in "The Secret of the Golden Elixir" is very vague, and it is revealed in one sentence, as if it is really the fantasy of a certain cultivator.

But it is not difficult for Gu Dan, who has experienced a lot, to guess that behind this sentence, it represents the birth of the [Golden Elixir Avenue].

[In ancient times, monks refined their own golden elixirs, using the creation of eternity to refine themselves. If the golden elixir is not damaged, then the life span will be endless. The golden elixir also means the way to supreme perfection.]

In the Secret of Golden Elixir, the emergence and development of the Golden Elixir Avenue was summarized in one sentence, but no more details were left.

And the next sentence is so long that it makes Gu sigh in worry, you will omit it.

[The Golden Elixir of today is only a relatively critical state in the path of cultivating immortals, but it is not one of the great realms that must be pursued.]

[Today, there are two common methods to break through the golden elixir.]

One is to condense the pill in the sea of ​​qi, where the spiritual power turns from liquid to solid. This method is simple, but there is almost no path for growth, and it does not help the cultivator much in his practice. It will be extremely difficult to complete the path of breaking the pill and condensing the infant in the future.

The second is to imitate the path of the predecessors, borrow the power of heaven and earth, refine oneself, use heaven and earth as a furnace, and practice as medicine to forge one's own golden elixir, commonly known as the flawless golden elixir. By this method, the elixir is flawless and the elixir pattern is born. Not only will the combat power be greatly improved, but when the elixir is broken in the future, it can also feed back to the soul, greatly increasing the chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul. 】

The Qi Hai condensed pill is simple, but it is of no help in breaking through the realm; the flawless golden pill is powerful, but it still needs the support of the power of heaven and earth.

This is the choice before the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

Like Zhen Chi, fools who seek the Dao Yun Golden Pill are a minority among the minority, and almost none of them have a good ending.

In addition to these somewhat formulaic remarks, "The Secret of the Golden Elixir" also gives many examples of cultivators, including former prodigies from the nine major immortal sects, and shows the various results caused by different choices of golden elixirs.

To be fair, this book on the secrets of the golden elixir is indeed invaluable to cultivators who are struggling with the golden elixir, and it is more than enough to serve as a guiding light.

The differences between Qi Hai Ning Dan and Wu Xia Jin Dan are analyzed in detail.

But these are not what Gu Dan wants to see.

The third option, what about Dao Yun Jin Dan?

At most, it was only mentioned briefly here, and there was no detailed explanation at all.

The real focus of this jade slip is all about the flawless golden elixir.

It even recommends many special places in the nine immortal sects, which are of great benefit for achieving the flawless golden elixir.

For example, the [Qianyuan Ding] of the Changsheng Sect, the [Yin Yang Realm] of the Hehuan Sect, and the [Seven-Colored Linglong Tower] of the Dao Sect. But when Gu Dan completely digested the information in the jade slip, he did not see any mention of the Dao Yun Golden Pill.

It’s not that Gu Dan looks down on the Flawless Golden Pill and thinks that the Flawless Golden Pill is useless, but the Flawless Golden Pill may not be able to support what he wants to do.

Hundreds of years later, the Meteoric River will come.

If everything goes according to plan, how can we find a turning point? We can't just say we work hard and then let things take their own course, right? If we want to achieve something that ordinary people can't achieve, we must do things that ordinary people can't do.

The most beautiful scenery is on the dangerous peaks. If you don’t go to the remote peaks, how can you see its beauty?

There are many people who can condense the golden elixir from the sea of ​​qi, and there are also many who can make the flawless golden elixir, but one can ask the world, what about the golden elixir of the Dao?

After spending a whole day memorizing all the contents of "The Secret of the Golden Elixir", Gu Dan walked out of the retreat room.

The green-robed monk from the Changsheng Sect who was still waiting outside was slightly surprised and asked, "So fast?"

There is a lot of content in the Golden Elixir Secret. In addition to the practice of Golden Elixir, there are also various detailed examples. The reason why he dares to ask for three thousand contribution points is certainly not to blackmail the cultivators who want to exchange, but to make those cultivators self-aware and not to come over if they don't have some ability.

With such rich content, it would take an ordinary person at least three to five days to digest and explore it in detail, right?

One day, it was really too fast.

"I have written it down. As for fully understanding the contents, I still need to slowly comprehend them in the future. I will not waste your time here."

Gu Dan did not ask him why there was no record of Dao Yun Jin Dan in it, but calmly returned the jade slip to him.

"That's fine."

The cultivator of the Changsheng Sect took the jade slip and was very satisfied with his attitude. He casually said, "If you want to become a flawless golden elixir, you must refine yourself with great magic power and establish a bond with heaven and earth. Earn more contribution points. This is a hard-won opportunity."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Taoist."

Gu Dan clasped his fists and bowed, then walked out of the Changsheng Sect's territory. Without any hesitation, he ran to the Binggong Hall again with a very clear goal.

"It's only been a day, right? What do you want to change this time?"

The monks from Binggong Hall had already taken note of Gu Dan and were also surprised at his speed, but they still asked diligently.

"As I recall, I can choose to trade contribution points with monks, right?"

Gu Dan asked.

"That's right."

The monk from Binggong Hall nodded and said, "You want to use your contribution points to ask a certain immortal master to solve your doubts?"

In addition to exchanging for physical items, contribution points can also be used as salary to hire high-level monks to preach and answer questions. As long as both parties agree, there is no problem.

As for how much you can gain, it depends on yourself.

"How much contribution do I have left?"

Gu Dan asked.

"The total amount is 6,100, and the available contribution points are 3,100."

"I want to use 3,100 contribution points to hire Tianyan Sect's formation idiot to preach for me. I wonder if Binggong Hall can do it?"

Without any hesitation, Gu Dan spoke directly.

"Um?"

The cultivator was stunned and kindly reminded, "Although Zhen Chi is praised as the best person under Yuanying, his path to Jindan is not suitable for most people. Asking him to solve your doubts may be counterproductive. I still have many Taoist priests with both reputation and strength in the nine major immortal sects who are willing to solve doubts for the younger generation, and they don't need that much contribution points."

"No need, I just want to find Zhen Chi."

Gu Dan flatly refused.

No matter how rich the experience of other Taoist priests is, at best they can only produce flawless golden elixir.

What he was looking for was the Dao Yun Golden Pill.

If there was enough time, Gu Dan wouldn't have to be so anxious. Unfortunately, time was running out, and Yundao Tianhe didn't leave him that much time. He could take it slowly like he was exploring the innate martial arts.

Since there is someone ready to ask, Gu Dan naturally wants to choose the fastest and most effective one.

"This formation idiot from Tianyan Sect has not signed up for this course. But I can contact Tianyan Sect for you, and then Tianyan Sect will tell the formation idiot that if he is willing, you two can contact each other."

The monk from Binggong Hall did not ask any more questions and spoke directly.

"Thank you for your help."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, took out a spiritual plant from his storage bag and wanted to hand it to him.

"No need. I am just doing my job. Look at our sign, Binggongtang. We dare not play this game."

The cultivator waved his hands and refused. This was an office representing the nine major immortal sects. How could he dare to do this in private? If something went wrong, he would lose his life.

"It's Meng Lang who's wrong."

Gu Dan also reacted, smiled apologetically, and did not stay here. He returned to the inn where he was staying and waited.

He has his own channels to contact Zhen Chi, such as Wang Qianjun, who will definitely be able to find Zhen Chi.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

However, Wang Qianjun himself did not agree with the path of Dao Yun Jin Dan. Asking him to contact Zhen Chi would inevitably cause trouble and might not succeed.

It would be better to adopt a businesslike attitude. If the remaining contribution points could be used to exchange for how Zhen Chi could find the way to the Golden Elixir, it would be a huge win for Gu Dan, saving a lot of time for self-exploration, which was far more valuable than those contribution points.

Of course, if Zhen Chi refused, then he would have no choice but to investigate it himself.

This wait lasted for three full days.

On the third day, Gu Dan's communication talisman became brighter.

"You are in Dingwei City?"

A line of words appeared naturally, shining brightly, but the other party did not leave his name.

"right."

"I'll come find you."

Another half hour later, the communication talisman shone again.

"Wanxian Tower, report the formation maniac."

Gu, who received the news, was worried but happy.

Since Zhen Chi is willing to come, it means there is something to discuss.

Otherwise, why bother making this trip? You can just reject it directly.

When he arrived at Wanxian Tower and reported his name as Zhenchi, Gu Dan was led by the waiter to a side room.

When I walked in, Zhen Chi was sitting there, looking over here.

"Is that you?"

Zhen Chi raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered Gu Dan. Gu Dan was also present at the Xia Dynasty's immortal cultivation banquet. It was not as if he had no memory of him at all.

"You want to find me to learn the way to the golden elixir?"

Zhen Chi was playing with the cup in his hand playfully, his eyes glancing at Gu Dan, his voice neither hurried nor slow.

"I heard that Zhen Chi is the number one person below Yuanying and the strongest person in Jindan realm. If you want to advance to Jindan, you naturally have to find the strongest one."

Gu Dan said without hesitation: "I am willing to trade 3,100 contribution points in exchange for your experience."

"ha."

Zhen Chi chuckled, "Three thousand one hundred contribution points? For others, it would be a considerable amount. However, you are thinking too much if you want to trade this with me."

“But you came anyway.”

Gu Dan walked to the table, sat down, and looked him straight in the face without fear of his gaze.

If Zhen Chi really didn't agree with this deal, he wouldn't have to make this trip, and he wouldn't even have to contact him.

Now that you are here, there is something to talk about.

"He's got a good mind."

Zhen Chi nodded slightly, then asked, "How much do you know about the Golden Elixir?"

"I have exchanged the Secret of the Golden Elixir from the Changsheng Sect and have written down all the contents."

Gu Dan said.

"Oh? Then you should be very familiar with the flawless golden elixir. After all, the Golden Elixir Secrets has already recorded everything about the golden elixir in great detail. Why bother coming to me again? And you're willing to spend such a large amount of contribution points?"

Zhen Chi looked at Gu Dan with a half-smile, and asked inexplicably, "Why, you don't like the flawless golden elixir?"

“Why settle for second best when you know there is a better way?”

Gu Dan said: "In cultivation, if you don't make progress, you will regress. Unless there is really no opportunity, you should always challenge your limits."

Zhen Chi shook his head and said, "I don't know where you heard about Dao Yun Jin Dan, but this reason cannot convince me."

"Didn't you choose this path as well? Or do you also think that this path is not feasible, so there is no need to talk about it?"

Seeing that Zhen Chi's intention to refuse was becoming more and more obvious, Gu Dan decided to provoke him a little.

"Whether it works or not, what others say doesn't count."

Zhen Chi said coldly: "If this is the only reason, you can leave."

"All right."

Gu Dan shrugged slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I just want to have a chance to collide with the Meteoric River. But from ancient times to the present, it is said that no cultivator has ever succeeded. You can imagine how difficult it is. In order to increase the possibility of success, I have no choice but to try a risky path."

"Touch the Meteoric River?"

Zhen Chi opened his eyes wide, his voice became a little higher, and he glanced at Gu Dan with an extremely strange look, as if he had heard a huge joke.

Gu Dan and he stared at each other without giving in, neither dodging.

"Why?"

Zhen Chi asked.

"Because I am from the Origin Heaven Realm. Here are my old friends, my memories, my past, and countless millions of ordinary people. Is this reason enough?"

Gu Dan asked back.

Zhen Chi pondered for a moment and praised: "Well, you have a good idea, even bolder than me."

The Meteoric River is the unsolvable knot in the world of immortal cultivation.

He is only in the late stage of foundation building, but he dares to think about such things. He is really too bold.

Compared with the problem of Yundao Tianhe, the problem of Daoyun Jindan suddenly seemed much smaller.

"Does this reason convince you?"

"Half convinced." (End of this chapter)
