Chapter 473: Reconstruction of Mana, Prepare to Form the Pill!
"Are you ready to form the pill now?"
Shen Jiangyue raised his eyebrows.
Before coming, she naturally already had information about Gu Dan.
Naturally, we also know that it has been less than a year since Gu Dan broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
At this time, even for those with natural spiritual roots, seeking to form a pill seems a bit too advanced.
It is not an easy thing to form the golden elixir. It is a big hurdle and also a watershed among cultivators.
Whether it's Qi training or foundation building, they are just the bottom level of the sect.
But when one reaches the Golden Core Realm, he is considered a strong man, able to share the power in the sect, and even if he is a little more ambitious, it is not impossible for him to found his own sect.
The status in the world of immortal cultivation represents absolute power.
The threshold of the Golden Elixir is already the end of life for many cultivators of ordinary talent - it is out of reach!
Being able to condense a pill from the sea of qi is enough to be called the ancestor of the sect. If one wants to go a step further and achieve the 'flawless golden pill' and aspire for a higher level of Nascent Soul in the future, one needs not only one's own efforts but also the help of opportunities.
No one dares to say that he or she will be able to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, so even many of the sects’ geniuses are stuck in the Golden Core stage.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the most famous formation idiot is like this. Although many people think that formation idiots are definitely a model of self-inflicted troubles, doesn't this also mean that if you take the wrong path when you are in the golden elixir stage, the ladder to the top will also be broken? It can be said that it is never too cautious!
"Yes, disciple is ready."
Gu Dan nodded with particular affirmation.
The foundation-building cultivation is no longer enough.
It's not even enough to enter the ranks of the top geniuses. Even if he can kill the Dragon King with a "burst", it's not good to use a full burst every time and risk his life, right?
You need to improve your own strength as soon as possible so that you can get involved and get involved in more advanced matters.
Just like Zhen Chi and Wang Qianjun secretly hunted the Dragon King. If they didn't meet by chance, he wouldn't have anything to do with it. They wouldn't play with him at all.
Of course there is nothing to complain about. You are unknown and no one knows who you are.
Only when you improve your own cultivation and have achievements and status, will you be invited and receive corresponding treatment.
Time is running out. He may still have tens of thousands of years, but Yuantian Realm does not.
If he doesn't want his past to vanish into thin air and remain only in memory, he must rise up as quickly as possible, using his absolute genius to acquire resources and increase his strength.
On a larger scale, he wanted to save the billions of lives in the Source Heaven Realm; on a smaller scale, even for the sake of his own memories and everything he was familiar with, he had to try his best once.
To save the world with medicine, words alone are not enough. Not only do you need the heart, you also need the corresponding strength.
"this"
Shen Jiangyue frowned slightly. This was indeed a little beyond her expectations.
In her opinion, no matter how fast Gu Dan was, he would have to wait at least another year or two before he could achieve the golden elixir. Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before he was ready to achieve the golden elixir.
The problem is, she didn’t bring the chance of the Changsheng Sect’s flawless golden elixir with her at all!
The disciple was so eager that she didn't want to discourage him. After thinking for a moment, Shen Jiangyue said, "I understand. But since you have chosen the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art as your own practice, you need to reconstruct your own magic power. This is not an easy task. No matter how fast you go, it will take more than a month to do it.
During this time, you will transfer your mana first. I will take the Nine Dragon True Cauldron with me. When I come back, I will bring you the opportunity to obtain the Flawless Golden Pill. You just wait for me here."
The disciple I just accepted is about to be promoted to the Golden Elixir stage, and as a master I must be by his side to protect him.
This kind of thing must be handled with extreme caution and no disturbance is allowed.
While he was retraining his skills, she, as his master, only needed to make a difficult trip between the two worlds to get the opportunity for Gu Dan from the real Changsheng Sect.
As for taking the disciples back to the real Changsheng Sect, it is possible but not necessary.
Firstly, when traveling between the two worlds, although the flying boat will isolate most of the external space-time ripples, there will still be a small part of it that affects the cultivator, which is not suitable for quiet practice.
The difficulty of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is not small at all. With the interference of the flying boat, one will get half the result with twice the effort and waste time.
Secondly, suddenly changing to an unfamiliar environment may not necessarily be a good thing for one's own breakthrough.
Generally speaking, apart from the only hard requirement of rich spiritual energy in the breakthrough site, the other additional conditions are basically safety and familiarity, which can allow the cultivator to relax and calm his mind.
These are the experiences that generations of monks have summed up with their blood and their own future.
As a cultivator of the Source Heaven Realm, it is naturally better to practice in the more familiar Source Heaven Realm. Moreover, there are subtle differences in the laws of each realm, and it is not an easy task to readjust and adapt to such differences.
Nowadays, all things in the Source Heaven Realm are flourishing and full of vitality, which is most suitable for cultivators to make great progress. Under the overall uplifting environment, it will be easier for cultivators to break through. Some cultivators who were previously stuck and could not find a way forward will be more likely to become enlightened here.
This is called being in harmony with heaven and earth.
It doesn’t matter whether Gu Dan knows about these things or not, but as a master, I cannot help but consider them.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Since you are a master, you naturally have to be responsible for your disciples.
"In this case, I will trouble you, Master."
Gu Dan was not aware of Shen Jiangyue's considerations, but that did not stop him from thanking her as usual.
"Since you have called me Master, I will not let you do that in vain. Just wait for me. Stay here for the next few days and practice diligently until I come back."
Shen Jiangyue acted decisively and without any hesitation. After saying a few words, he actually left.
This place is still in Wanbao Tower, but Shen Jiangyue used her own identity to open a best-class room for Gu Dan to practice, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
"It seems like it's not bad to have a teacher?"
Watching Shen Jiangyue leave in a hurry and disappear in the blink of an eye, Gu Dan was also a little surprised.
Although I haven't been in contact with this master for a long time, he doesn't seem to be a meddlesome person, so this is not a loss.
Suppressing all the complicated thoughts in his mind, Gu Dan recalled everything about "Nine Revolutions Profound Art".
The Nine Revolutions Profound Art means that nine is the ultimate number.
If one can undergo nine transformations, like a cicada shedding its shell or a phoenix rising from the ashes, then even if it is a weed, how can we be sure that it cannot stand tall?
The original intention of establishing this technique was to provide a path for the numerous cultivators with ordinary talents in the world of immortal cultivation.
But this does not mean that this technique is simple.
On the contrary, the profound and complicated knowledge contained therein would take quite a while to fully understand! Gu Dan only spent three days to imprint it in his mind, but as for understanding it?
It hasn’t even started yet!
While Shen Jiangyue was crossing the border to obtain the opportunity of the flawless golden elixir, Gu Dan also began to digest the vast and complicated knowledge of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art". Only after he had thoroughly comprehended the essence of it could he begin to reconstruct his magic power.
It doesn’t matter if you practice, you won’t know the years until the cold ends.
Only by truly trying to understand a technique can one discover its profoundness and breadth, and how much effort the predecessors have put into it.
It took Gu Dan only three days to memorize this technique, but it took him a full month to fully understand the concept and content of this technique!
As Shen Jiangyue said, the original intention of this technique was to allow ordinary cultivators to undergo transformation.
But the ability to escape from one's shell like a cicada and to be reborn like a phoenix are both racial talents, and humans do not have that ability.
It is extremely difficult to simulate it using martial arts techniques, so where should I start?
If there is none, then it is made up out of nothing! "The person who created this technique is definitely a rare genius!"
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Dan's eyes. He had completely understood this technique, and then he discovered the madness of this technique, and even sensed a hint of familiarity from it.
This familiarity did not come from anywhere else, but from "Refining Qi"! According to "Nine Transformations Mysterious Art", humans have their limits. As acquired creatures, it is impossible for them to be perfect. Even those who are born sacred and are called alien spiritual roots, still have ways to become stronger. Can't acquired creatures find a way to reverse it? Of course they can!
Cultivation is such a path.
It’s a pity that spiritual practice also requires talent and spiritual roots.
If he wants to wait until he has the ability to tamper with things directly, he has to practice to the level of Divine Transformation - but once he reaches the level of Divine Transformation, he will naturally not be constrained by his own talents anymore, and this is the biggest conflict.
The concept of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" is to hone yourself and force it to be advanced.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It is a well-known fact that people can constantly strengthen themselves through exercise.
Even a weak scholar can strengthen his body and even build muscles by practicing martial arts persistently.
So, is there a way to 'exercise' yourself to a greater extent?
Yes! The Nine-Turn Mysterious Art requires the cultivator to condense his own "life core" through a special hammering method, which is equivalent to creating an "organ" for himself that does not exist out of nothing.
The life core involves everything about itself, including the soul, flesh, blood, and even spiritual energy! Through methods similar to "self-mutilation" or "external impact", the life core is used as a guide to infuse and feedback itself.
Eventually the life core is broken and then established, completing the transformation, and one can use this to move to a higher level!
“Sometimes, I have to admire the creative ideas of our predecessors.”
Gu Dan sighed.
Those summaries are of course simplified countless statements and are only the first step. Creating a life core that does not exist out of nothing is an extremely difficult task.
He even saw the shadow of "Refining Qi" in it. To put it bluntly, the creator of "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art" almost let the cultivators condense a "cultivator's Qi" by themselves.
The only difference between this and the acquired blood qi condensed by Gu Dan is that the 'cultivator's qi' known as the life core only represents the cultivator himself and cannot affect others.
Not long ago, he was still lamenting that if the Qi of cultivators appeared, he would be able to command all cultivators in the world. Today, after thoroughly understanding the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art", he found that what he had thought of had already been realized by others.
It is true that every generation has talented people, but that doesn’t mean that the previous geniuses didn’t leave behind enough jaw-dropping fruits of their labor!
However, even "Refining Qi" is only a crude imitation of the legendary innate Qi. The life core forcibly condensed through the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" is not enough to be called acquired Qi.
At least the acquired Qi still has real combat power, but the life core is the foundation of a cultivator, an organ created out of nothing, and is even more important than the brain.
The life core is gone, and this life is almost over.
The so-called destruction followed by reconstruction, a complete transformation, requires one to save one's life first.
Indirectly influencing by hammering the life core and forcing oneself to train is extremely dangerous.
If you accidentally lose your life core, you will be gone too.
To break down and then build up is to abandon your past self, not to literally throw your life away and play with it.
"It's extremely difficult and dangerous. But you can give it a try."
Gu Dan thought about it for a moment and felt that this method was indeed feasible.
But the difficulty is indeed not small.
But he has experience in refining acquired Qi. The method of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" is similar to condensing acquired Qi, and is even simpler.
What is tested is the cultivator's control over himself, the blending of Qi, blood, spiritual energy, and soul power. The life core is like the central organ of the body, and a single move can affect the entire body.
Now that the decision has been made, there is no more hesitation.
He held his breath and concentrated his mind, and began to construct his own life core in his body according to the method of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art", creating out of nothing an "organ" that did not exist for the cultivator.
This is destined to be a long and boring process that does not allow for any carelessness.
Fortunately, Gu Dan had already gotten used to this. When he was refining his blood energy, he had accumulated enough experience.
The mind is attracted, the qi and blood are in harmony, and the spiritual energy is guided. The three are intertwined, yet distinct from each other.
Of course, it is not about completely integrating these three together. That is something that only a Nascent Soul Master can do. If the conditions were really that harsh, this "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" would not be a way for low-level cultivators to change their destiny.
But even if these three are to coexist peacefully with each other and not get confused by the hammering and forging and make a mess of themselves, it is still an absolutely huge project.
One's own essence, blood, and soul power are easy to deal with, but the most difficult thing is to draw in the spiritual energy without forming the golden elixir. Otherwise, it would be much simpler to use the golden elixir as the core.
Since it concerns his own foundation, Gu Dan is naturally extra careful and dares not relax at all.
In this way, he continued to refine himself, and finally after two months, he condensed the so-called "life core" in his body.
It was a special, illusory organ, but it actually existed in the body, connecting Gu Dan's blood, soul and even spiritual energy, and turning into a transit station inside the body.
If you don't touch it, it's as good as non-existence.
This step cannot bring any improvement to oneself, it just creates something out of nothing.
If you want to become stronger, you must find a way to impact your life core without damaging it, and then use this "hammering" method to complete your own training and improvement.
When the life core of the past can no longer control its own soul, qi, blood and even spiritual energy, it represents a new life and needs to be rebuilt.
Completing it nine times is equivalent to getting rid of nine times your past self! "Theoretically, this thing should have no upper limit."
He was worried and thought that there must be shackles and restrictions that he was not aware of.
While he was thinking, the communication talisman on his body suddenly began to flash.
This is a pure room for retreat. In order to avoid disturbing the practitioner and causing harm to oneself, outsiders are naturally not allowed to disturb.
When he wakes up, he will naturally receive the message.
Gu Dan picked up the communication talisman and took a look.
[Disciple, the opportunity for the flawless golden elixir has been brought back.]
