He had previously obtained a lot of spiritual medicines from the Hanhai Secret Realm and the old monster Zi Yang, which were enough for him to practice to the Nascent Soul stage. However, the pills made from those spiritual medicines all belonged to the category of practicing step by step. It was true that they could increase the speed of practice, but they did not have the effect of increasing the speed by ten or twenty years at once.
The reason why this elixir is so powerful is mainly because the main ingredient used in its refining is powerful.
Dragon marrow is extracted from a trace of precious blood of a fourth-level dragon, and needs to be placed in the Dantian by a Nascent Soul cultivator to dissipate the dragon's tyrannical aura and leave behind the dragon's dragon power.
Fengyang is a magical herb from heaven and earth. It can only grow in places where the blood of the phoenix-like demons is shed. It can be used as medicine only after it has aged for three thousand years.
These two main medicines alone are not something that ordinary Nascent Soul sects can afford.
Even if it is placed in the seven major sects of Tiannan, it is not something that can be refined casually. It requires a long time of preparation in advance.
The Extreme Yin Ghost Stone, a pure Extreme Yin treasure, will be used to speed up the condensation of Yin and Yang Qi when Shen Lian advances to the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir, coupled with an Extreme Yang treasure.
It’s not that other Yin-Yang spiritual objects cannot be used, but this kind of high-level Yin-Yang attribute treasure condenses the Yin-Yang Qi, which is more refined and can save the time of purification.
The old fox demon had sharp eyes. After sensing Shen Lian's realm, she directly used the Dragon Marrow Phoenix Yang Pill as bait.
The old monsters in Canglan Mountain are really direct in their methods.
But I have to say that Canglan Mountain is very open and honest. Even though there are temptations, they will announce the rewards in advance without any delay.
This is much stronger than some forces.
As if she felt that what she said was a bit empty talk, the old fox demon waved her hand, and a ball of spiritual light fell down and surged in front of Shen Lian, gradually transforming into several spiritual objects.
The first thing to be hit was a black and white pill with dragons and phoenixes attached to it. It was a circle larger than a longan and was rotating slowly.
Even though it was just a projection, Shen Lian could still feel the mystery of this elixir.
Shen Lian understood that this old fox did it on purpose.
In the second ray of spiritual light, there was a three-foot sword with undulating patterns of mountains and rivers engraved on it.
"The Cangshan Sword is only half a spiritual barrier away from being promoted to a fourth-tier spiritual treasure."
Seeing that Shen Lian was still calm, the old fox woman subconsciously applied more force to the hand that was stroking the little fox demon, causing the little fox demon to stretch its neck and let out a protest.
"This is a quasi-fourth-level spiritual treasure, Qianshan Canglong Plate. Once refined, it can withstand a blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator."
…
Shen Lian's eyes searched for the several treasures in front of him. The people of Canglan Mountain were indeed very rich and inhumane. Any one of these things in front of him would be snatched up if left outside.
His eyes swept over the Dragon Marrow Fengyang Pill. It was a pity that it was of low-quality. If the raw materials were given to him to refine, he could at least go against his conscience and steal two high-quality pills.
Of course, Shen Lian also wanted one of inferior quality. Even if one pill was not worth twenty years of training, at least it would be worth ten years of hard work.
It’s not that he, a great alchemist, has fallen, but that he has no other choice. The medicinal materials for this elixir are too difficult to obtain. At least he currently has no chance to obtain the corresponding alchemy materials.
In addition to that, there is the extremely yin ghost stone.
"Fellow Daoist, are you afraid that I, Canglan Mountain, will harm you?"
The old fox woman narrowed her long and narrow eyes. She had seen Shen Lian being so embarrassed many times. Many cultivators who had obtained treasures from Canglan Mountain before were like Shen Lian.
I am too shy to refuse, too hesitant to want it.
The human race is really...
If you want it, take it.
It's very generous, it's not like it's not giving it.
"Fellow Daoist, the fact that you can take away spiritual objects from Canglan Mountain only proves that you are powerful and skilled. Not only will Canglan Mountain not be hostile to you, but we will be friendly with you."
"Yang'er, tell me about the Taoist friend who took the spiritual object from Canglan Mountain last time. How is he doing?"
“After obtaining the spiritual objects from my Canglan Mountain, the alchemist has now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and is honing his alchemy skills in preparation for advancing to the fourth-level alchemy master.
My great demon king has specifically instructed that if this alchemist needs the herbs for alchemy, Canglan Mountain will fully support him."
"That alchemist is not from one of the seven major sects."
"Moreover, the master alchemist also obtained the scales of the Great Demon King Canglan from my Canglan Mountain and became a good friend of my Canglan Mountain."
The little fox demon stomped its four snow-white hooves on the clouds, with a look of pride in its eyes.
"How about it, fellow Daoist, do you have any concerns?"
The fox demon old woman smiled and said: "If you still have concerns, you can go and verify in person whether what Yang'er said is true or false."
"You have worked hard for a year and you need to take a break."
As she spoke, the old fox demon waved her hand and plucked out a strand of her own fox hair, which floated down to Shen Lian's side.
"When you have rested enough, if you still want to come to Canglan Mountain, activate this fox hair. Then a demon will come to pick you up to the mountain."
"Yang'er, send fellow Taoist out of the mountain."
As the old fox demon finished her words, the room in front of him collapsed bit by bit. Amidst the flashing colorful spiritual light, Shen Lian felt dizzy. A large area of undulating mountains and fields appeared behind the broken space, quickly receding before his eyes.
When he stood still again, he was already on a hill, with the little fox demon's adopted son next to him.
"Fellow Daoist, I will take you down the mountain."
The little fox demon stepped on the fog with all four hooves and went towards the distance.
…
"Sent away?"
At the same time, the old fox demon came to the outside of a cave.
A yellow light flashed from the old woman's body, and she turned into a five-meter-tall yellow-haired old fox, which walked slowly towards the depths of the cave.
The cave was deep and dark, and at the end was an extremely large karst cave. In the darkness, a pair of large eyes with a slightly green glow lit up, as big as two lanterns.
"Send him away. Humans are thoughtful and have many ideas. We have seen this before."
The fox demon old woman walked to a platform deep in the cave and lay down, squinting her eyes and saying, "As long as you have greed in your heart, you will definitely come back again."
"You'd be a fool not to come back. If it were me, I would come back too."
A dull sound was heard, and a demon sheep with a snow-white body, yellow hair on its head, and two horns covered with mysterious patterns poked its head out from an independent small cave at the edge of the cave.
"Meh."
"Besides, I, Canglanshan, sincerely want to make friends. Only a fool would not come back."
"Meh."
"Quack, that's right."
A ball of cyan light faintly lit up in the dim cave, revealing a large toad with mysterious cyan eyes and skin all over its body, its fat body squeezed in a small cave.
"When will this day end, quack."
"Old Toad, if you want to go out, go ahead. We're not stopping you, baa."
"Moo, that's right. At worst, we can ask the younger generation in the mountain to help sweep up your ashes after you are killed. Maybe we can add another fourth-level spiritual treasure to our Canglan Mountain."
The big demon king who had previously revealed his big lantern-like eyes with a green glow, revealed his full appearance. He was an old green bull with cracked skin and bones all over his body, and dirty blood and sores flowing all over his body.
If you sense it carefully, you can see black beetles crawling and gnawing on the rotten flesh between the pimples.
If there weren't a layer of faint spiritual light sealing the surface of the body, the strong smell of decay would directly fill the entire cave.
"I am the Golden Toad."
The big toad croaked angrily for a while, "Even if I'm struck to death by lightning, I don't want to be like you, Old Niubizi, who has to rot and get worms all over his body in order to avoid the lightning, and endure the pain of having his flesh and blood devoured all the time."
"If that day really comes, I will just kill myself. It's better to be an immortal when I'm at the second or third level and live happily. I can go wherever I want. Now I can't go anywhere."
"Moo."
The old blue ox let out a low cry and said faintly, "It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
"Wait a little longer, maybe Canglan can succeed and lead us to force our way through the third level of Yuantian and directly into the upper realm."
…
"Can you please stop talking? You keep talking all day long. I have this skill but I can't practice it. Can't I just sleep?"
In the corner of the cave, a cold voice was heard. Upon closer inspection, a beautiful female cultivator, who looked like a fairy, was sitting cross-legged among the colorful spiritual lights.
But in the perception of the demon cultivators, this woman had no life in her body.
"Shut up, everyone. Learn more from Mei Niang. Look how powerful her breath-hiding technique is. She looks dead even though she's alive. The heavenly calamity won't be able to find a target to strike her like this. Moo."
"Shut up, old bull nose. I think you were struck too lightly by lightning. Why didn't it kill you last time?"
A hint of fear flashed across the old blue ox's huge eyes. Thinking of the horrific experience of being struck by lightning last time, it would rather hide in this dark cave, its body rotting, covered with acne, and bitten by insects.
"Does God really not want to give us monks a chance to live?"
"First, the path to ascension was cut off, and then we sensed a disaster for no apparent reason. It was not easy for us to cultivate to this level."
"Quack."
The old toad croaked in response.
"In my opinion, we have been hit by an unprovoked disaster. Those guys outside are messing around. Now they have thrown the world into chaos and made us suffer together."
"But this world is too confused about right and wrong. Why can't this disaster distinguish between good and bad? The damn Ten Thousand Demons Cave sacrifices a lot of lives every year, but the Ten Thousand Demons monster is still alive and well, running around outside.
"The Spirit Clan hunts living creatures everywhere, and several old monsters in their clan haven't felt the disaster yet."
"Why is it always me who gets hurt?"
"Shut up, whoever wants to die, I will personally send him there."
A majestic voice sounded, and immediately all the croaking and bleating sounds in the valley ceased.
…
Three months later.
"I really didn't follow."
On a big tree in the wasteland outside Dongcanglan Immortal City, Shen Lian stepped on a branch and touched his chin, thinking secretly.
After being sent out of Canglan Mountain by the little fox, he temporarily closed Fatty Ding's second store, and went back to Canglan Fairy City. He found a secret place to open up a cave, and couldn't wait to take out the third-level thunder ape corpse and began to inspect it.
Of course, the inspection is really an inspection, and the prevention is really a prevention.
How can it work if you don't make it real?
Having been in Canglan Immortal City for so long, his largest intelligence system network, the Black Horn Ant Colony, had already been laid out.
For three consecutive months, Shen Lian changed three places. Through the perspective of the black-horned ants and the sensing of the formation he set up, he did not notice that someone was spying on him.
"call."
After repeated confirmation, Shen Lian rubbed his cheeks. Okay, he was being neurotic.
The branches shook and the figure disappeared.
…
"Master Chang Yun."
"An elder from the Yunling Sect in the Handan Region."
After returning to Canglan Immortal City, Shen Lian quickly figured out the situation of the alchemist that the little fox demon mentioned.
This person took away three spiritual objects from Canglan Mountain, a Dragon Marrow Phoenix Yang Pill, a quasi-fourth-level spiritual treasure, and a Demon Soul Pregnant Spirit Fruit.
Handan Region is a small area in the north of Tianping Region, similar to the area of the southern continent. The Yunling Sect is the only Nascent Soul Sect in this area.
“A model.”
In the teahouse, Shen Lian was quietly sipping tea.
Just like when he was in the Wilderness, the small Bishui Sect would produce a lucky little cultivator every now and then.
It’s just that the Bishui Sect is fake and dishonest, while Canglan Mountain is serious and really wants to make friends with some potential cultivators.
"The demons are so sincere. It really makes Shen... Ding ashamed."
Putting down the teacup, Shen Lian dropped the spirit stone and disappeared in the teahouse.
After some inquiries, he finally had an idea.
…
Two months later.
Inside the small world of the cave.
After Shen Lian found the place, in order to prevent the breath of the Thunder Ape's corpse from leaking out, he placed it in the small cave world to clean up.
The third-order great perfection Thunder Ape had a mouth full of fangs and looked ferocious and terrifying. The demonic energy all over its body was like a vast ocean that washed over the surroundings, causing several puppets working in the cave to fall to the ground and twitch.
Crackling electric light was released from the Thunder Ape's body, and the sound of the demon blood flowing in its body could be heard.
The little fox demon really did not lie to him. The demon ape was sealed away immediately after being struck to death by lightning.
Shen Lian's divine consciousness sank into the body of the Thunder Ape, and he sensed a purple cloud inside the Thunder Ape, emitting a mysterious aura that was as if it was there and not there.
He wanted to sense it further, but before he could touch the purple light, he was hit by the electric arc that burst out from it.
"call!"
Shen Lian stood there and shook a few times before he digested the flash of lightning.
It really is the true meaning of heavenly thunder.
If the true meaning of thunder from heaven and earth could be integrated into his Five Thunder Magical Ability, he would make a fortune.
Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness once again sank into the body of the Thunder Ape, sensing the gurgling flow of demon blood. The surprise was not over yet.
Logically speaking, since the Thunder Ape has passed away, the demon blood in its body will not dry up quickly, but it will no longer circulate in the body as it did when it was alive. However, due to the true meaning of the Heavenly Thunder, the Thunder Ape remains active after passing away.
Shen Lian carefully sensed the spirituality in the demon's blood. Under the baptism of the true meaning of heavenly thunder, most of the violent aura belonging to the thunder ape had been washed away, and the aura of destruction was only pure destructive power.
It can be used to help him refine his body.
