After reporting the location, Zhen Chi arrived soon.

"Do you really want to take the path of the Golden Elixir?"

After the two met, Zhen Chi asked without any delay.

Such a vigorous and resolute style is very much in the style of a formation maniac.

"That's right."

Gu Dan nodded affirmatively.

"Although I don't quite believe that you are fighting against Yundao Tianhe."

Zhen Chi's eyes wandered around Gu Dan's body, and then he said: "But I still want to warn you once, don't think that Dao Yun Jindan has extraordinary combat power and want to walk on this path.

The nine great immortal sects have countless talented people, some of whom even I think are extraordinary. In terms of personal talent, there are some as powerful as Luo Qingyin; in terms of personal talent, there are some as unparalleled as Ying Yaoyao, but even they did not choose this path.

Do you know why?

"Because, this is a broken road?"

Gu Dan asked back.

"because."

Zhen Chi was about to continue speaking when he was suddenly startled. His gaze towards Gu Dan had changed greatly. "It seems like you know something."

"If I don't understand anything, I won't bother you."

Gu Dan said confidently.

Appropriately demonstrating one's own value is also a means of negotiation.

He didn't want Zhen Chi to think that he was a person who was craving for the other party's fighting power, so if possible, it would be better to treat the demander as a fellow traveler.

The broken road is difficult to walk on. Gu Dan once wasted nearly a hundred years in the realm of grandmaster, and he knows that feeling only too well.

The time Zhen Chi spent on the road to Dao Yun Jin Dan was probably no shorter than that spent by Gu Dan, and might even be longer.

It's not to say that the [Golden Elixir Path] is definitely stronger or more difficult than the [Qi Refining Path], but the Qi Refining Path at least still has information from ancient times circulating, and some reference can still be found.

As for the path of [Golden Elixir Avenue], it has almost been lost in the years, and it is unlikely to find more evidence.

As a former spiritual path that has now disappeared, anyone who attempts to climb here is no different from the pioneers of the past and deserves respect.

In this situation, being able to find a fellow Taoist is naturally better than groping on one's own. Perhaps this is why Zhen Chi is willing to give Gu Dan a chance, even though the other party did not say this explicitly.

"Okay, okay."

After saying three good words in a row, Zhen Chi looked at Gu Dan with a much warmer look, the look he got from seeing a “fellow Taoist”. “In that case, I won’t say any more. I will tell you in detail about the Dao Yun Jin Dan Path.”

"I'm all ears."

Gu Dan looked serious.

"Ordinary golden elixir, do you know how to make it?"

Zhen Chi asked back.

"I have read the Secret of the Golden Elixir of the Changsheng Sect, and I do know a little about it."

"Gold is something that is hard and indestructible; elixir is something that is perfect, bright and pure without any flaws. The golden elixir was originally made by ancient monks who refined rare treasures into elixirs, believing that taking it could make one immortal."

Zhen Chi directly said the opening of "The Secret of Golden Elixir", and it was obvious that he had read it, "The word 'Golden Elixir', in the eyes of ancient cultivators, is somewhat similar to the Dao Fruit of today, but also different.

The biggest difference is that the golden elixir can be refined! The original golden elixir was a pill made with the help of magical objects. Ancient monks believed that swallowing it could make one immortal.

But later, the ancient monks found that although the golden elixir could help prolong their life, it could not help them transcend. However, since the golden elixir has all kinds of magical effects, the reason why it does not make people immortal is that the golden elixir they refine is not precious enough or strong enough. "

What Zhen Chi said was almost the same as the record in "The Secret of the Golden Elixir", except that it was more detailed. Gu Dan nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

"So some cultivators began to try to use themselves as precious medicine, and the creation of heaven and earth as a cauldron, to refine the supreme golden elixir with their own strength. This is the so-called way of the golden elixir."

Zhen Chi's eyes revealed an obsessed look.

Zhen Chi Zhen Chi, of course, is not his real name, but a nickname.

It’s just that because the nicknames are used so often, the real name seems less important. After all, a name is never as appropriate as a nickname.

He is obsessed with battle formations, and even more obsessed with the Tao.

Others laughed at him for being too crazy, and he laughed at others for not seeing through him.

Then, Zhen Chi's next sentence revealed his true intentions, "The so-called Dao Yun Jin Dan is to walk the ancient path again. Don't treat Jin Dan as a small realm in the immortal way, but treat it as the supreme way. Otherwise, you will not be able to achieve the Dao Yun Jin Dan path."

"oh?"

Gu Dan's eyes showed curiosity. Although he had thought about it before, it was undoubtedly more real and precious to hear it from Zhen Chi's mouth. "In this case, doesn't it mean that I have given up the realms of Yuanying and Huashen?"

“That’s the downside.”

Zhen Chi shrugged slightly and said, "Why do you think Ying Yaoyao, Luo Qingyin and the others didn't try Dao Yun Jin Dan? Because compared to the combat power of Dao Yun Jin Dan in the Jin Dan period, the future is more important in their eyes.

If you can’t find the way to the Dao Yun Jin Dan, you will probably be stuck in the Dao Yun Jin Dan for the rest of your life.”

This price is indeed heavy.

The past is gone. No matter how glorious the [Golden Elixir Avenue] was in the past, now is the era of immortality.

My lord, times have changed.

There is no future in being blindly conservative. The younger generation must make new breakthroughs based on what their predecessors have done in order to continue moving forward.

This is the shackle that all monks must face.

"In fact, it is not difficult to make Dao Yun Jin Dan. The so-called flawless Jin Dan is, to some extent, a 'snap-up' path to Dao Yun Jin Dan. With a little help from the outside world, one can refine one's own Jin Dan and then complete one's own Jin Dan.

But Dao Yun Jin Dan cannot stop. From the beginning, Dao Yun Jin Dan is an 'unfinished product'. Before I achieve enlightenment and perfection, the Dao Yun Jin Dan road can never stop. This is the problem I need to face. If you want to take this path, you will also have to face the same problem. "

Zhen Chi tells everything he knows, and leaves nothing unsaid.

It's not that these things cannot be figured out by an individual; it just takes a long time.

As long as you have enough information and rely on your personal efforts, you can also find the way to the Taoist Golden Elixir.

Even though I found the problem, I really have no idea how to solve it.

"I think you have understood. The path to the Dao Yun Jin Dan is endless, while the path to the Nascent Soul requires breaking the Dan to form the Nascent Soul. But once the Dao Yun Jin Dan is broken, the path will also disappear into thin air, and there will be no turning back."

Zhen Chi said: "After you left, Ying Yaoyao and Luo Qingyin went to the Immortal Sect to ask for the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul stage - they have already made preparations for their own breakthrough.

I became famous much earlier than the two of them, but I can still only stay in the Jindan stage. Even though my strength has far exceeded the so-called Jindan perfection and can face the Yuanying stage, I cannot really break through.

Even now, I have no idea, have you thought about it?"

Choosing a path is not something you can do on a whim.

Now I feel that Dao Yun Jin Dan is stronger, so I want to leave. In the future, when I find that I am already comparable to or even better than Jin Dan, but still cannot find the opportunity to break through to Yuan Ying, I will probably feel resentful.

It’s better to make it clear in advance than to have no way back.

"No problem."

Gu Dan had already thought it through very clearly.

Only when you can do what ordinary people cannot do can you truly transcend.

Otherwise, if you just follow the same routine as everyone else, you will end up being like everyone else.

Talented people emerge in every generation. He does not want to be popular for a short time, but to live forever, for a period of time as long as immortality. He should not only look at the convenience of the moment.

What's more, he also has the experience of breaking through to the Grand Master level.

Zhen Chi is now trapped in a fog and cannot find a way forward for the time being. According to his experience, the solution to the Dao Yun Jin Dan impasse lies in the Way of Zuowang, which is the ancient path of cultivation belonging to the Nascent Soul realm.

But this was just Gu Dan's idea after all, and it was difficult to explain where this idea and experience came from. If he simply told Zhen Chi that it wouldn't work, it would make the other party happy for nothing.

It would be better to let him try it himself first. If it really works, he can report back to Zhen Chi.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"good."

Zhen Chi nodded slightly, waved his hand, and a golden elixir that was as bright as the blooming sun appeared in his hand.

It was actually his own golden elixir, the Dao Yun golden elixir!

"Just wait and see."

The golden elixir in Zhen Chi's hand gradually lost all its brilliance, making it easier for Gu Dan to observe.

Gu was quite touched by his worry. Even for a Jindan cultivator, this was an extremely dangerous choice. The Jindan was equivalent to the accumulation of a Jindan cultivator's strength. Once exposed to the enemy, it was tantamount to revealing the heart.

Zhen Chi asked him to observe his own golden elixir, which showed his sincerity.

Gu Dan naturally did not delay at the moment. He looked at it and found that the golden elixir in Zhen Chi's hand was about half the size of an egg and round all over. However, when he looked at it, he felt that it was not a real entity, but something between energy and entity.

Gu Dan quietly activated his own third eye.

Suddenly, divine patterns intertwined in his eyes. For the defenseless golden elixir of the formation maniac, everything was seen more clearly and meticulously, and he could even see the dense "formation patterns" formed on the surface of the golden elixir.

Gu Dan was quite surprised.

"Can you see?"

Array Chi was also slightly surprised, and then said: "Yes, array pattern."

On the surface of Zhen Chi's Dao Yun Jin Dan, countless array patterns appeared every moment, and then gradually disappeared. However, the speed was extremely fast, so fast that even the cultivator's eyes could not react.

At first glance, the golden elixir seemed to be there unchanged, but in fact it was almost reaching a certain limit. If it were not for his divine ability of divine vision, Gu Dan would not be able to detect it.

Since Gu Dan had already seen through it, Zhen Chi didn't keep it a secret any longer. He lightly tapped his finger, and the golden elixir suddenly collapsed a little, revealing the more intricate array patterns inside.

Zhen Chi's Dao Yun Jin Dan is not a Jin Dan in the strict sense of a cultivator, but more like a power aggregate formed by certain forces sticking together.

Calling it the Golden Elixir is just a convention, but in reality the two are no longer the same thing in essence.

This is also the biggest reason why Zhen Chi is stuck in the Golden Core stage and cannot reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Everyone has a different underlying logic, so how can we follow past experience and break through step by step? "The so-called golden elixir is actually the accumulation of one's own power. I cultivate formations, so the source of my power will constantly transform into various formation patterns to evolve formations. Now my formation speed is far faster than that of cultivators at the same level, and even not inferior to that of Yuanying Venerables. This is the reason."

Zhen Chi pointed at his Dao Yun Golden Pill and said.

With this golden elixir, it is equivalent to evolving the formation in the body all the time, so practicing the formation will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort.

This is the benefit of not being attached to material things.

"But this is my path. Even if I really can't move forward and get stuck here, my own combat power can still be guaranteed by relying on the formation."

The formation maniac said: "If you also want to take this path, without the formation as a shortcut, you may not be able to perform better than the flawless golden elixir. On the contrary, you will lose the possibility of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage using conventional methods. There are gains and losses between the two. You can't have your cake and eat it too."

This point was indeed beyond Gu Dan's expectations.

Dao Yun Jin Dan is not necessarily very powerful, it just has a deeper future, the price is that you can no longer follow the ordinary path.

Without the assistance of the Dao of Formation, it is uncertain whether Formation Chi would have the status and ability he has today.

This means that those who truly imitate me may survive, but those who are like me are almost certain to die.

But Gu Dan had the experience of a grand master breaking through to an innate master, and he deeply understood that during such a major breakthrough, there must be a great opportunity.

For example, his acquired blood qi.

If he himself was not a grandmaster, it would be almost impossible for him to refine the acquired blood qi, and he would not be able to grasp the context of it at all.

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

Gu Dan showed sufficient firm belief and spoke very firmly.

Zhen Chi put away his Dao Yun Jindan, nodded slightly, stretched out a finger, and slowly touched Gu Dan's brow.

Gu Dan did not dodge.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful divine consciousness was infused along Zhen Chi's fingers!

With endless information, ordinary people would be turned into fools in an instant.

But for Gu Dan, all of this is bearable.

Divine thought transmission!

An extremely important means for monks.

Generally speaking, in addition to being fast, convenient and quick, the biggest advantage is accuracy, which truly makes people feel like they are in the scene.

Many things that are simply inconvenient to describe with words can be transmitted through spiritual thought, allowing another person to "feel the same thing", reducing the misleading and loss caused by words.

The information that Zhen Chi's spiritual thoughts transmitted to Gu Dan was all about the Dao Yun Golden Elixir.

His thoughts, his practice, and his experience.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is an extremely valuable treasure that countless people are eager to obtain.

Without sufficient determination and will, the pearl cannot shine.

When the transmission of divine thoughts was nearing its end, even with Zhen Chi's strength, his face turned slightly pale.

When the finger left Gu Dan's brow and Gu Dan opened his eyes again, two rays of light flashed by.

“Dao Yun Jin Dan, I see!”

Gu Dan murmured to himself, he had understood everything.

He then clasped his fists and bowed to the Chi, saying: "I will repay you generously for your kindness today!" (End of this chapter)
