Chapter 474 Three years have passed, and the calamity has come!
Seeing the news, Gu Dan showed a hint of joy on his face.
This news came just in time. Just as he finished condensing and stabilizing his life core, Shen Jiangyue had already returned.
Without any hesitation, Gu Dan directly opened the door of the retreat room. As expected, Shen Jiangyue was waiting for him outside.
Seeing the joy on Gu Dan's face, Shen Jiangyue asked in surprise: "From your looks, has your practice of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art been put on the right track?"
As a practice that could lead directly to the state of becoming a god, she had of course also studied it.
He deeply understood that although the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" seemed to be a path of "rebirth", the difficulty was no less than the "Ji Shi Chang Sheng Gong", the secret skill of the Changsheng Sect, and it could even be said to be more difficult.
After all, it is a martial art that allows people to counterattack. Of course, more effort and sweat are required to catch up with the geniuses.
Although there are many miracles of reaching great heights overnight in the world of cultivating immortals, the vast majority of people can only take one step at a time. At any time, those who can stir up the situation are always a minority among the minority.
“Just finished.”
Gu Dan nodded affirmatively and thanked him, "Thank you for making this trip, Master."
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me. However, where do you plan to complete the Core Formation? I'll be your guardian, so you don't have to worry about your safety. It's best to choose a place you are familiar with and feel at ease. According to the experience of cultivators, even if doing so doesn't increase the success rate, it can calm your mind."
Shen Jiangyue was very satisfied with Gu Dan's talent. He was worthy of being her apprentice. She did not hesitate any more and asked directly.
"A familiar and peaceful place?"
The thoughtful look on Gu Dan's face only lasted for a moment before he had already locked onto the place.
Apart from that place, where else can you say you are familiar and at peace? Xia Dynasty, Gu Family Courtyard.
After returning here, the scenery in the courtyard has not changed at all.
A flower, a willow, and a stone table.
Times have changed, time has passed mercilessly, people in the yard have come and gone, but these things are still here.
As Gu Dan stepped into the courtyard, the chrysanthemums by the wall in the courtyard seemed to notice something and emitted a rich fragrance. The stamens, which were as big as the sun, bloomed with bright and dazzling light, as if welcoming this old friend who had been away for a long time.
Even the willow trees in the yard, their crisp green branches were swaying in the wind, making a rustling sound, which added a unique flavor.
In addition to these things, there was also an extremely large blue bull lying in the corner, taking a nap happily.
Now that everyone in the yard has run to the front line, it, which was originally driven out, can finally come back. The benefits of staying next to a big medicinal plant are enormous for a spiritual beast.
I haven't seen it for such a long time. Although it hasn't eaten much, its body has become bigger, and there are some cloud-like patterns on its four hooves. At first glance, it looks quite spiritual, and there is no longer any demonic aura at all.
"Is this the former residence of the unnamed God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch of the Xia Dynasty?"
Shen Jiangyue looked around curiously, but he didn't expect that his apprentice would be so creative as to choose this place as the place for promotion.
Of course, it is possible that the Changsheng Sect did not pay attention to the God of Transformation of the Xia Dynasty, but as for this thing, it is of no use even if you pay attention to it.
He is the God of Transformation. He can even ignore the principles of heaven, let alone morality?
Why would he need to inform the younger generations of them about what he wanted to do? Even the leader of the Changsheng Sect had to bow his head respectfully in front of the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch and dared not act rashly.
The nine major immortal sects all chose the safest approach with all their heart - that is, to keep a distance.
They will not take the initiative to intervene, but it will not prevent the forces under their control from entering the Xia Dynasty to play around, provided that they must abide by the rules here.
It is said that the saint girl of Tianji Sect gained a lot of benefits from the "public display" of Huashen Tianjun, and even her master is asking who Huashen Tianjun is. She is willing to pay a high price to ask him to help her disciple solve the hidden danger again.
However, even if they are all gods, people cannot be generalized.
Some of the gods are not even from this era. They are not just like dragons that are hard to find, they are completely living fossils in the world of immortal cultivation. They are unfathomable, coming and going without a trace. If others are unwilling to show up, even the gods cannot find them.
This is only possible if you capture the other party's place of enlightenment.
But this kind of thing is like touching the reverse scale of a dragon. If you don't want to offend a God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch to death, it's best not to do it. "Yes."
Gu Dan nodded, with a fleeting hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"Yes, very enterprising."
Shen Jiangyue nodded in satisfaction. Even she did not dare to comment on this courtyard. Although the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch had already left, what if? It is better to be safe than sorry!
As for the fact that her beloved disciple chose this place as the place for promotion, it was both unexpected and reasonable to her.
Apart from anything else, it would be good to be exposed to the aura of a senior who has reached the God Transformation stage.
Moreover, it is very meaningful to break through in the former residence of the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch. It is a good omen! Without wasting time, Shen Jiangyue directly took out the Nine Dragon True Cauldron and said, "The opportunity of the flawless golden elixir level is now in the cauldron."
"What is it?"
Gu Dan was quite curious. Although he had purchased the "Secret of Golden Elixir" from the Changsheng Sect, which also mentioned the opportunity of the flawless golden elixir level, it only mentioned the name and did not give a detailed explanation.
"The Dan Qi of Qianyuan Ding."
Shen Jiangyue smiled slightly and said.
Qianyuan Ding is the Taoist artifact of the Changsheng Sect.
The Dao Instrument, the name of the heaven and earth, the reflection of the Great Dao! To some extent, it is equivalent to having a part of the power of the God Transformation Heavenly Monarch - but it is very little, and it has no thoughts of its own. If you must give an appropriate description, it can probably be said to have the authority of a part of the rules.
In some aspects, Taoist weapons may possess abilities that even the God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch finds difficult to achieve.
After all, the creation of heaven and earth is mysterious and unpredictable, and even cultivators cannot fully understand it all.
The Qianyuan Ding is the treasure of the Changsheng Sect and its value is incalculable. The most important thing is that it is an alchemy furnace!
The preciousness of elixirs that require Taoist tools to be refined can be imagined, and they may even bring about a heavenly calamity!
For cultivators, the precious things are not just the finished elixir, the elixir energy itself is a treasure.
After being smelted in the Qianyuan Ding, the extremely precious medicinal power will be integrated into the elixir, but some incompatible or unsuitable power will be "rejected" out.
That is Dan Qi.
But don’t ever think that Dan Qi is waste. On the contrary, to a cultivator, Dan Qi is also priceless.
Especially after being struck by the heavenly calamity, in addition to the elixir, the elixir energy itself will also undergo some special transformation.
For cultivators, even Dan Qi is no less powerful than elixir! Although it is certainly not as good as Dao Dan made from heavenly medicine, being able to obtain the Dan Qi of Dao Dan is enough for people to complete the baptism! "The Dan Qi I brought is the product of the baptism of heavenly tribulation and the smelting of heavenly medicine. Even if it is placed in the Changsheng Sect, it is definitely the best choice."
Shen Jiangyue said this with a smile, and did not mention that she had a big quarrel with several elders in order to obtain this Dan Qi.
Dan Qi also has different grades.
Whether or not one has used heavenly medicine or endured the baptism of heavenly calamity is a hurdle.
Even if one has natural spiritual roots, usually one must be cultivated by the Changsheng Sect itself, or a cultivator with natural spiritual roots who joined the Changsheng Sect at a young age can obtain it.
A cultivator like Gu Dan, who has already achieved something and then "brought his skills to a disciple" and joined the Changsheng Sect halfway, even if he has great potential, the word loyalty still needs to be considered by the Changsheng Sect. The standards are usually not directly raised to the top, unless he has proved his value to the Changsheng Sect and has completely become a member of the Changsheng Sect.
But Shen Jiangyue argued that now the Yuantian Realm can be said to be in full bloom, it is a time when flowers are blooming and oil is boiling, and who knows how many people will take advantage of the situation.
In addition to the cultivators trained by the nine major immortal sects, there will definitely be some outstanding cultivators from the native Yuantian Realm.
How could these people be trained by the nine major immortal sects themselves?
Do we have to give up the genius of Yuantian Realm just because we want to stick to the old sect rules?
Even mortals understand the principle of 'spending a fortune on horse bones'!
Gu Dan has been on the list of geniuses for a long time, which has attracted a lot of attention. Discussions about him have never stopped, especially after Zhen Chi killed the Dragon Emperor, he is still on the list!
Under such circumstances, Gu Dan chose to join the Changsheng Sect, which represented his recognition of the Changsheng Sect. It was also the time to show the Changsheng Sect's magnanimity to the local cultivators of Yuantian Realm who did not understand the Changsheng Sect.
Treating a genius who joined halfway with the highest standards and taking him as an example, doesn't it just show the Changsheng Sect's love for talent? Shen Jiangyue argued with reason and even alarmed the Sect Master. In the end, with the Sect Master's affirmation, he took this top-notch Dan Qi as an opportunity for his own disciple to advance to the Flawless Golden Pill.
There are good and bad flawless golden elixirs. Ordinary flawless golden elixirs can barely produce elixir patterns, while the truly powerful flawless golden elixirs can even bring about a heavenly calamity that covers dozens of miles and give birth to strange visions.
"Thank you, Master."
Gu Dan clasped his fists and bowed.
"It's just a small matter. However, this elixir contains some aura of heavenly tribulation, so you still need to be careful. Condensing the golden elixir is by no means a simple matter. It may take one or two months at the fastest, or nearly half a year at the slowest. I will be by your side to protect you, and you only need to concentrate on condensing the flawless golden elixir."
Shen Jiangyue warned.
"Master, rest assured. I have made sufficient preparations."
Gu Dan smiled slightly, very confident in his talent as a Dao body.
Apart from anything else, the ability of "combining body and Tao" alone is far ahead of others.
If one does not seek for the Dao Yun Golden Pill, it would probably be an easy matter to just make an ordinary Qi Hai Ning Dan.
Shen Jiangyue placed the Nine Dragon True Cauldron in the courtyard. Gu Dan took a closer look and saw a ball of colorful light floating inside the Nine Dragon True Cauldron.
As expected, it was the so-called "Dan Qi", and it was Dan Qi that had gone through heavenly tribulations and contained the essence of a great medicine.
"Go ahead."
Shen Jiangyue nodded.
"Trouble you, Master, to protect me."
Gu Dan took a deep breath, and then jumped into the cauldron without any hesitation.
As soon as his body entered the cauldron, the Dan Qi came rushing in without any need for Gu Dan to actively attract it.
In just a moment, the spiritual energy in the sea of qi was almost boiling! Gu Dan finally understood why Shen Jiangyue did not ask for the spiritual energy around him. The vitality and power contained in this Dan Qi were simply incomparable to ordinary spiritual energy.
A special power was baptizing his body, and even his soul felt numb, as if he was ascending to heaven.
However, his physical body did not react much. He could only feel his aura becoming more vigorous. Even his deeply hidden blood Qi was stirring, as if it could also gain some benefits from the Dan Qi.
Gu Dan held his breath and concentrated. Even though he was full of confidence, he did not dare to be negligent. According to Zhen Chi's experience, he began to actively guide the Dan Qi, which was already unimaginably active, and gradually sank it into the Qi sea in his body.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Qi Sea had originally been filled with liquid spiritual energy, and now with the Dan Qi pouring into it, the entire Qi Sea was completely boiling, as if it wanted to burst.
Gu Dan's spiritual thoughts came over at this time, affecting the entire sea of qi and slowly baptizing it with Dan Qi. Large amounts of spiritual energy turned into white mist and floated out from the body, but there was always more spiritual energy being born and conceived.
In this cyclical change, his own spiritual energy seemed to be imbued with some special power.
It is like tempering water with fire, except that this "fire" is Dan Qi!
Shen Jiangyue was outside looking at his disciple who was in the Nine Dragon True Cauldron and starting his flawless golden elixir journey, and he felt a rare sense of uneasiness.
“I wonder if this promotion will bring about a heavenly calamity?”
A truly powerful flawless golden elixir would bring about a heavenly calamity. She did not tell Gu Dan about this, so as not to put too much pressure on her ambitious disciple.
But even if a heavenly calamity really comes, it doesn't matter. She will protect the surroundings and not cause any damage.
It is said that the Tianyan Sect's Zhen Chi was the one who made the Dao Yun Golden Elixir, which was unmatched. When the elixir was completed, calamity clouds covered the area for a hundred miles, making it as dark as night. Lightning shook the sky, as if it was a divine spear slashing someone.
She didn't ask her disciple to be on par with Zhen Chi, but as long as he could attract calamity clouds over ten miles away, her efforts and good intentions would not be in vain.
Advancing to the Golden Core stage was destined to be a long process. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Shen Jiangyue had long been accustomed to it and meditated silently by the side.
The green bull lying in the corner was trembling and didn't dare to make any unusual movement.
Time flows slowly forward, without changing for anyone.
One month later.
Shen Jiangyue was still meditating.
Three months later.
Shen Jiangyue has already paid attention to Gu Dan's situation.
Half a year later.
Shen Jiangyue completely put her heart and soul into Gu Dan.
One year later.
Shen Jiangyue began to circle around the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
Two years later.
Sensing the increasingly intense fluctuations of spiritual energy in the cauldron, Shen Jiangyue began to scratch his head.
Three years later.
Shen Jiangyue has already called someone.
"What's going on with my apprentice? Is there something wrong with the Dan Qi you gave me???"
Shen Jiangyue, who had always appeared quite steady, grabbed the collar of an elder of the Changsheng Sect, his eyebrows raised, and he was furious!
It takes three years to form the elixir.
Unheard of!
How could it take so long?! It wouldn't even take that long to give birth! But at this critical moment of promotion, she didn't dare to disturb him.
What if Gu Dan accidentally lost his concentration, became possessed, or even exploded and died? This worry and anger was naturally directed at the person who gave her the Dan Qi.
"Ah? There is absolutely no problem with this or that Dan Qi!"
"No problem? It's no problem that it will take three years to complete the Dan, right? Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"
Shen Jiangyue was furious. She had only accepted this disciple for a few years! "Maybe there is another reason?"
The Changsheng Sect elder who was angered had an innocent look on his face. He couldn't understand why it would take someone three years to form a pill.
The key is that it hasn’t come out yet!
As we all know, there is no use trying to reason with an angry woman.
Especially a woman with a high level of cultivation.
Seeing that Shen Jiangyue was furious and was about to fight if they had a disagreement, the extremely innocent elder of the Changsheng Sect raised his hands and signaled her to calm down.
"What could be the reason? Any other reason? Hmm? If you can't explain it to me, I will never forgive you if you report it to the Sect Master!"
Shen Jiangyue simply couldn't listen.
What a joke! She had seen many geniuses who had achieved the flawless golden elixir, and the longest time taken by one of them was less than a year.
It's been three years, and she still hasn't come out. Hurry up and have your third child! If no one is doing something behind the scenes, then hell! First of all, excluding her beloved disciple, it can only be that there is something wrong with the Dan Qi she brought.
Therefore, her target was undoubtedly the elder of the Changsheng Sect. If anything happens to my disciple, I will never forgive you! "This... this, this, this."
The Changsheng Sect elder was sweating profusely. Although he thought he had a clear conscience, it was a fact that the person had not come out.
Shen Jiangyue, who was already angry, couldn't bear to listen to his explanation. His spiritual light had already appeared, and he was ready to fight with him if they disagreed.
Seeing that a battle between Nascent Souls was very likely to happen, the sky suddenly turned dark.
In broad daylight, the world is clear and bright.
But in an instant, dark clouds gathered and dark night fell here in an instant.
Even Shen Jiangyue, who was angry, noticed this obviously abnormal change.
"What's going on?"
"It seems to be a calamity?"
The Changsheng Sect elder, with an innocent look on his face, spoke cautiously.
"Heavenly tribulation?"
Shen Jiangyue loosened his hands. Even with the eyesight of a Nascent Soul Master, the dark clouds in the sky were endless as far as the eye could see.
If this is a natural disaster, how large an area would it cover?
Baili?
Much more than that!
I’m afraid it’s a thousand miles away!
This level of heavenly tribulation. Could it be that someone here has achieved the Nascent Soul stage?! Operations Officer Recommendation: "Spoiler History, Starting from the Three Kingdoms"
