“I feel wronged.”

In the small Thunder Prison, the curled up figure screamed.

The lightning suspended on his forehead was like a blunt knife full of notches, sawing back and forth between his flesh and soul, making crackling sounds.

Can't hide or avoid it.

"Oh, fellow Taoist's kindness has benefited the common people again."

The teasing voice echoed in the prison cell, exuding an extremely refreshing feeling.

Suddenly, the screaming stopped.

He saw that outside his thunder prison, in an unknown distance, there was also a prison suspended with an identical gray light on the outside and filled with thunder on the inside.

Inside the prison cell, there was also a figure with an immortal look curled up, with a flash of lightning on his forehead.

On the forehead, a pill with nine orifices and a hint of black light was slowly rotating. Strands of dark yellow threads emanated from the pill, forming a dark yellow protective light shield that protected the entire body.

However, his Xuanhuang light shield is slightly weaker.

The difference is that when this black pill flashes black light, countless animal shadows can be seen changing faintly.

"thief."

"I am ashamed to talk to a thief."

"You are all thieves."

Hearing this, the Beast Shadow Foundation Establishment cultivator was not polite and cursed back, "Fuck you, I'm the one who created a new path, right, Brother Jindan?"

In another direction, in a thunder prison that looked similar, there was a shadowy figure that looked like a middle-aged cultivator curled up. This figure looked 70% similar to humans, and a golden pill that looked like a pill was slowly rotating between his eyebrows.

The Jindan cultivator was soundly sleeping in response to the shouting and cursing of the two people outside, and had no intention of responding at all.

"If I hadn't had the idea of ​​creating the Foundation Establishment Pill, how could you two have come up with it? You are the big thief."

"By the way, I want to thank you. If you hadn't taken a portion of it, I would have been struck to death by lightning."

"Haha, you didn't expect that good deeds could turn into disasters. These useless descendants have really ruined our ancestors."

The Nine-Aperture Foundation Establishment Pill cultivator revealed an expression of both crying and laughing, as if the lightning sword light pulling on his forehead was not so painful anymore.

"It's okay, it's okay, Tian Yan is fifty, there's still a chance... God, please give me a chance..."

…

Shen Lian didn't know what happened in that distant and deep place.

But he knew he might be in trouble.

The alchemy furnace hummed, and the rhythm of Tao was everywhere. A black pill with nine orifices absorbed the medicinal power of the other two foundation-building pills in one gulp, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The entire cave is colorful.

The quasi-fourth-level formation guarding the cave was like a layer of window paper in front of the mysteries of heaven and earth at this moment, and it was easily pierced with a slight poke.

Outside the cave, there were thunderous sounds from heaven and earth.

An extremely bright and dazzling spiritual fog enveloped the cave area, and it was showing a tendency to intensify.

These spiritual lights exuded an extremely rich medicinal fragrance that shocked people. On the mountains and fields in all directions, a layer of tender grass quickly grew in the originally bare places.

Those original plants and trees, as if they had taken a tonic pill, grew vigorously as fast as they could, with new branches sprouting and large leaves swaying.

In the area from all directions, the free spiritual energy was quickly gathered together.

Even though Shen Lian deliberately chose a place with poor spiritual energy, it could not withstand such a commotion. At first, the fluctuations were only within a hundred miles, but later all the free spiritual energy within a thousand miles was pulled over.

Moreover, this range is constantly expanding outward.

Inside the cave, Shen Lian had originally set up a small spirit gathering array for himself before refining the elixir, but he removed it when he noticed something was wrong with the elixir.

I tried several methods, but none of them could stop the development of the phenomenon.

After sensing the changes outside, he had to set up the spirit gathering array again.

There is no other way. If we let it continue to absorb like this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the area of ​​thousands or tens of thousands of miles. By then, I don't know how many cultivators will notice it.

This is far beyond what a second-level pill should have.

The scent it exudes is so fragrant.

"Hurry up, please."

Sensing that the strange phenomenon outside was getting stronger and stronger, Shen Lian wanted to smash the alchemy furnace.

But the alchemy furnace was transformed from his natal magic weapon, but as an alchemist, he couldn't even summon out this mutated pill. He was so unlucky.

There is no way. If Danwan is not fully taken, he will not come out.

Even if he poked a hole in the sky at this moment, Shen Lian would have to feed it with spirit stones, which was considered as blackmailing him.

The spirit gathering array started to operate rapidly, and streams of spiritual energy gathered into a long river and poured into the alchemy furnace. The nine orifices on the black pill flashed rapidly, swallowing up a lot of spiritual energy into it.

"Hurry up!"

As if it understood the meaning of Shen Lian's words, the nine orifices on the pill did not close and swallowed the spiritual energy directly in big gulps.

It is hard to imagine where the inspiration from swallowing such a small pill goes.

"I'll give you another ten breaths, otherwise I'd rather destroy the furnace."

“Buzz!”

In an instant, the black pill began to spin rapidly, sweeping away the spiritual energy from all directions, then flew directly out of the pill furnace and landed in front of Shen Lian.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian frowned. He really wanted to take a step back, but there was no one else in front of him.

After realizing that the pill was spiritual, he deliberately said the following sentence, but he didn't expect that this thing actually understood it.

The quality of elixirs is divided into four types: low, medium and high. People always say that elixirs are mysterious and rare in the world, but they shouldn't be mysterious to this extent.

Could it be because of the foundation-building pill? Shen Lian put away the pill furnace and threw it directly to the deputy soul for inspection. He took out a jade box and prepared to grab the black pill in front of him.

But this pill was flying in front of him and didn't want to go into the jade box. Instead, it wanted to come closer and stick to him.

"Go to hell."

Shen Lian subconsciously slapped his hand and knocked the pill into the rock wall.

But in the blink of an eye, the pill flew back, still looking as if it wanted to rub against him, and made a humming sound.

Shen Lian's expression changed, then relaxed. He stretched out his hand and touched the pill, and the pill really emitted a little black light.

Damn.

I've never heard of a psychic pill.

And I made it myself.

Grabbing the pill, Shen Lian's body was shining brightly. The puppet man jumped out and quickly cleaned up the traces in the cave, digging away the soil and rocks that were impacted from all directions.

After a few breaths, he quickly disappeared from the spot.

…

Shen Lian ran away, but the noise was like a volcanic eruption, and the whole place became completely turbulent.

The area was already in chaos, and suddenly there appeared such a widespread phenomenon, and there was also a strong medicinal fragrance. Even a little demon who was practicing Qi would know that a panacea must have been born.

"It happened in a flash. A senior extended a hand as big as a mountain, broke through the thunder and grabbed the pill. My brother's wife happened to tell me that her cousin from her mother's side saw it with his own eyes."

"Hey, isn't that a coincidence? My brother is away on a long trip and hasn't come back yet, so I went over to warm up his gun."

"May I ask your name, beast?"

"Old Wang."

…

For a time, all kinds of rumors were flying around.

The place where Shen Lian made pills was visited by hundreds of cultivators, from foundation building to golden elixir, and later even Nascent Soul came.

Even if the area was cleared in advance, the fragrance of the medicine was still everywhere, and the grass and trees grew wildly in the mountains and fields. It was something that could not be covered up at all.

After the Nascent Soul cultivator finished his investigation, he was very sure that at least a fourth-rank alchemist had refined the elixir again.

Moreover, the grade of the elixir is very likely to be upper-middle grade fourth grade, or even higher.

…

“A fourth-level alchemist.

"What fifth-level divine alchemist?"

In Fenghe Immortal City, in a restaurant box, Shen Lian almost spilled the wine glass he was holding because of a word spoken outside.

From the third level to the fifth level, fellow Taoists are really good at complementing each other.

This time at the place where the elixir was being refined, he didn't even dare to leave his image stone, for fear that someone would find him through the image stone.

"Buzz."

With a buzzing sound, the wine in the cup turned into a thin stream and was sucked into the sleeve of his robe. A black round pill in the sleeve absorbed the wine.

This foundation-building pill is no longer a matter of becoming a spirit.

He is proficient in eating and drinking, and his aura has reached the quasi-third level. If he continues like this, his cultivation will be no different from that of a cultivator.

There was no chance for Shen Lian to threaten him again. After Danwan followed him out, he restrained his aura on his own and became extremely ordinary.

But the more this happened, the more uncertain Shen Lian felt.

After running out from the alchemy place, he did not flee in a panic, but went to another place to restart the furnace and refined several second-level pills.

This time, no matter how he used the spiritual fire to burn, no Dao Pill appeared again. Instead, because the fire was too strong, some of the pills were ruined.

Regardless of whether these pills were good or bad, they were all swallowed by this Nine-Aperture Foundation Building Pill, and now they are trying to steal his wine.

Fortunately, this ball had some sense and knew to hide in his sleeves...

“Buzz!”

The next moment, the pill flew out of his sleeve, turned into a stream of light and disappeared into thin air. Shen Lian's mind broke out of his body, but he didn't catch how the pill disappeared.

He only noticed that the nine orifices on the surface of the black pill opened and closed slightly, and the void was distorted.

A ball whose overall spiritual power is approaching the quasi-third level actually possesses such means. You should know that Shen Lian himself has just acquired the power to cause the void to twist and collapse.

Fortunately, the pill slipped away very quickly but did not exceed the range of his spiritual control.

This thing was seen rushing into the treasury of a treasure pavilion in the city and passing through the fourth-level spiritual ban without any obstacles. Shen Lian could not spy on it afterwards.

Chiyun Tower.

Shen Lian almost fell to his knees when he sensed the plaque of the Chamber of Commerce with his divine sense.

This is the Chamber of Commerce under the jurisdiction of the Chixiao Sect. The Chixiao Sect is one of the only two sects among the seven major sects that has a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

After a few breaths, the pill came back with its nine orifices fluttering. There was still a bit of broken spirit leaves on the edge of one of the orifices. Shen Lian could tell at a glance that it was Luo Ling Fen Yan Grass that was at least three thousand years old.

He no longer wanted to know why Chiyun Tower would leave such an old elixir in a branch.

Check out and go.

In addition, after the pill in the sleeve was eaten up in someone else's Chamber of Commerce, the aura of the pill was also condensing, and there was a tendency to break through to the third level.

I hope this thing won’t also encounter a golden elixir tribulation.

As soon as Shen Lian left Fenghe Immortal City, the owner of Chiyun Tower noticed something strange in the treasury.

In the treasury where the fourth-level spiritual barrier was intact, the jade box that contained elixirs and herbs was broken into pieces, and all the elixirs and herbs inside were gone, while the other spiritual objects were not moved at all.

His mind changed and he took out the jade talisman to make a message, but he hesitated at this moment. After pondering for more than ten breaths, he activated the jade talisman.

"Reporting to the headquarters, the Fenghe City treasury was robbed, all the spiritual medicines and elixirs were stolen, in addition to 3,000 pieces of high-quality spiritual stones, 100 kilograms of third-level high-quality spiritual ore, and third-level five-element spiritual objects..."

…

Grabbing the foundation-building pill, Shen Lian rushed out of Fenghe City and headed west.

You can't go east, because that's where the big sects are headquartered. Going west is where the big and small sects gather. Such a place looks chaotic, but there are few strong people.

The foundation-building pill was in his hand, and he was digesting the elixir he had just stolen.

It can be said that the intelligence of this pill is constantly refreshing Shen Lian's cognition.

A fourth-level spiritual treasure needs a little bit of nurturing and learning to initially awaken its spiritual intelligence, but this pill was only refined not long ago, and its initial quality was also second-level.

Could it be possible that, like him, he could receive inheritance from the unknown? Thinking of this, Shen Lian frowned.

Sensing the aura of the pill, just like a cultivator who is improving his strength, he must make a decision as soon as possible.

After crossing 20,000 miles, we entered a mountain area shrouded in fog.

At this moment, the foundation-building pill in Shen Lian's hand also reached its peak, and a layer of black light enveloped the surrounding area, constantly expanding and contracting like breathing.

The nine elixir orifices breathe in and out, and the spiritual light is extremely bright.

However, there were no calamity clouds appearing between heaven and earth, which made Shen Lian feel slightly relieved.

Thunder tribulation is a test from heaven and earth to living beings. If this pill can really bring about a thunder tribulation, then it means that this pill has gone beyond the category of "things".

But even so, the appearance of the foundation-building pill was beyond Shen Lian's control.

No matter how magical this thing is, in his opinion, such trouble-making behavior is definitely that of a troublemaker.

Looking at the pill that was emitting spiritual light, Shen Lian's eyes were filled with hostility.

He didn't believe that his alchemy skills could create such a magical thing. According to rumors, there were no foundation-building pills a long time ago. Later, when the environment for cultivating immortals changed, a powerful person invented the foundation-building pill.

"Although the Foundation Building Pill is a second-grade pill, it can solve the path of cultivation for more than 90% of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. This is a great merit."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and felt uneasy.

But this is a bit too much. It is already a legend when the Foundation Establishment Pill was invented. This thing is not an elixir.

Shen Lian let out a breath and threw away this unfunny thought.

If this was really a trap set by the inventor of the Foundation Establishment Pill, then it would be useless even if he is on par with the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention that he is now at the level of the Spiritual Transformation stage.

As soon as this thought came to Shen Lian's mind, the magical power that was a combination of the three energies silently retreated back into his body on his hands that were hidden in his robe, as if it had never been used.

The hostility on his face disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.

"Congratulations to fellow Dan Daoist on advancing to the Golden Core stage. Shall we chat?"

ps: There will only be one update today. I will have an IV drip in the afternoon and will try to resume updating tomorrow.
