He was admitted to Juntian Pavilion because of his spiritual talent. As a genius with a long-standing reputation in the land of spiritual water, he was originally quite proud of himself.

But after entering Juntian Pavilion, I suddenly found that I seemed very ordinary, as if I was about to blend into the crowd.

Among the fellow disciples who entered Juntian Pavilion with him, there were some with better spiritual roots than him, and some were born with certain sword bodies. The talent that he was proud of was nothing among his fellow disciples.

There are many inner disciples in Juntian Pavilion, but there are only eighty-one positions for true disciples. According to the data over the years, as long as one can become a true disciple and does not die in the future, the probability of advancing to the late stage of refining emptiness is very high, and there is hope to compete for the position of inner mountain elder.

In Juntian Pavilion, if one does not strive for the position of a true disciple, after advancing to the Lianxu stage, one will either be assigned to a deacon position outside, or be sent to take charge of some mineral veins or important places in the pavilion.

It's just like that in a lifetime, and most of the mineral veins are in the void, where there are many dangers and the risk of falling is extremely high.

In addition, once you are sent out, it means that you will lose most of the resource support. If you want to go further in the realm of refining emptiness by yourself, it will be ten times more difficult.

Therefore, after much thought, Chunyu Zhonghou still wanted to give it a try, so he came to Master Ji Dan to seek the way to practice both Dharma and body.

"Senior Ji."

Compared with Ou Cunjie before, Chunyu Zhonghou was much more humble, and there was no arrogance in his expression.

Shen Lian could tell at a glance that this young Taoist friend had suffered many beatings in the fairy world. He also looked very distressed, and it seemed that he was thinking too much and was under a lot of pressure.

After Chunyu Zhonghou entered the cave, he saw Shen Lian reactivating the spiritual ban of the cave. He did not feel surprised at all, after all, there were too many people outside the cave seeking elixirs.

He looked at the cave carefully and found that there was a lingering fragrance in the cave. In addition to the fragrance of the elixir, there was also a fragrance that made him feel peaceful.

Gradually, Chunyu Zhonghou's slightly worried mood was calmed down a little by the lingering fragrance.

"As a senior disciple of Dongtian Holy Land, how come you are more worried than those fellow Taoists outside?"

After Shen Lian led Chunyu Zhonghou to his seat, he chuckled.

Hearing this, Chunyu Zhonghou revealed a bitter smile. As an inner sect disciple of Juntian Pavilion, he was also very tired.

To outsiders, the holy land is like a bright sun hanging over the territory of Shangjuntian. But to disciples like them, the fame brings with it enormous pressure.

It was especially uncomfortable for someone like him who was neither up nor down. If there was really no hope, it would be fine. He could just work hard to become an elder in the outer mountain of the Refining Void Realm and then go out and hang around somewhere for ten thousand years.

But Chunyu Zhonghou felt that he could still be saved.

"I bought this spiritual incense at the auction of Yunding Chamber of Commerce. It has the effect of calming the mind and tranquilizing the heart. Take a good rest for now. There is no rush to discuss the spiritual pill. I still have a furnace of pills that have not been refined yet."

After saying this, Shen Lian stood up and walked towards the alchemy room, leaving Chunyu Zhonghou sitting quietly in the reception room.

The spiritual incense was naturally bought at an auction, and there are records of that, but Shen Lian added a kind of tranquility grass to the incense.

After entering the alchemy room, he did not refine the elixir, but quietly sensed Chunyu Zhonghou's practice after opening the restriction.

It is indeed the "Five Qis Converging to the Origin Gong", there is no doubt about that.

I have racked my brains for this technique.

The Ji Wuxian he pretended to be was practicing the Ji family's ancestral "Five Mysterious Phoenix Spiritual Technique". Although they belong to the same five elements, there are still great differences. Although the Five Mysterious Technique is a gathering of the five elements, it tends to focus on the wood and fire attributes, which is very suitable for refining pills and weapons.

The Ji family's method can be cultivated to the late stage of refining emptiness.

Inside the cave, there is a lingering aroma and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.

In the alchemy room, there were six or seven jade boxes in front of Shen Lian. Each jade box contained a Liuqian Pill, but the patterns on the surface of the pills were different, and the smoothness was also different.

Naturally, the one with more dan patterns and smoother texture has the best quality.

What he had released before were of between low and medium quality, with slightly more impurities and much more powerful medicinal properties.

After a while, Shen Lian selected the best quality pill from several pills, and used some tricks to cover the pill with a layer of pill coating. The pill pattern became blurred, and the smoothness further decreased, turning it into a medium quality pill.

"Sincerity for sincerity, I am not a black-hearted alchemist."

After collecting the remaining pills, Shen Lian muttered softly.

Young friend Chunyu gave him a martial arts technique, and he gave young friend a top-quality elixir to increase the probability of breakthrough.

Looking at Chunyu Zhonghou through the spiritual barrier again, Shen Lian became a little hesitant at this moment.

There is a Juntian Key, a magical treasure that has been passed down for millions of years in the Juntian Pavilion. This magical treasure is similar to the Bu Tian Pearl he had back then, and is the core hub for running the entire Juntian Pavilion.

Normal disciples must go through a mind check cast by this Hedao spiritual treasure before they can enter the sect. And if they want to inherit the high-level techniques in the inheritance pavilion, they need to be personally transmitted by this Hedao spiritual treasure.

This was a secret he had only heard of during these days when he had been wholeheartedly working for the welfare of the disciples of Juntian Pavilion.

It is similar to when Shen Lian read the monk's Recognition of the Lord and Repairing the Heaven Order again, and it is even more terrifying than before.

Because he had done this kind of thing himself, Shen Lian kept his distance from him.

What's the difference between this and being stripped naked and looked at carefully? He is not afraid of seeing his body, after all, it would be embarrassing if he was smaller, but it would be too terrifying if his mind was also covered.

A Hedao Lingbao is comparable to a Hedao monk. Compared with the Hedao Lingbao of the Bu Tianzhu and Juntian Pavilion, it is just a younger brother.

…

Inside the cave, amidst the fragrance, a formation began to operate silently, instantly isolating the inside and the outside.

"Senior Ji."

Chunyu Zhonghou woke up from his practice and looked at Shen Lian walking out of the alchemy room.

"Looking at how uneasy you are, even if you take the Liu Qian Dan I developed, there will be an extra potential danger when you go through the physical training tribulation.

You are an inner disciple of Juntian Pavilion. If something goes wrong, I, an outsider alchemist who wants to join Juntian Pavilion, will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Chunyu Zhonghou gave a wry smile, looking embarrassed as he didn't know whether to say anything or not.

Instead, Shen Lian sighed and said, "I also want to establish a good relationship with your disciples. You can practice with me for a while.

I have been refining various elixirs here for hundreds of years, and the medicinal energy is abundant, which can help you calm down. "

Chunyu Zhonghou didn't think there was anything wrong and showed gratitude on his face.

"This is the Fragrant Tranquil Spirit Pill, which has the effect of stabilizing the soul and slightly improving it, and enlightening the mind. I only have two left, and the cost of one is 800 top-grade spirit stones."

Chunyu Zhonghou took out a pile of spirit stones from his storage ring, swallowed one of them, the Fragrant and Tranquil Pill, and put the remaining one into his storage ring.

"I accepted a mission not long ago. Fellow Daoist, please practice here for the time being. I will continue to make pills."

…

After Shen Lian returned to the alchemy room, he raised the alchemy furnace. The blazing hot alchemy fire caused the restrictions to tremble, and traces of fire were faintly visible from the spiritual restrictions.

In the pill fire, he sat cross-legged, his spiritual thoughts split into countless filaments, which, under the cover of the pill fire, merged into the surrounding spiritual restrictions.

In the reception room, Chunyu Zhonghou, who had taken the fragrant and tranquilizing pill, also began to practice.

Five-colored magical power surrounded him as he immersed himself in practice.

In the sea of ​​divine consciousness, Chunyu Zhonghou's divine figurine was also in a cross-legged position, with wisps of hazy mist formed by fragrant and tranquil divine pills lingering around his body. Each wisp had a faint purple hue, enveloping the figurine and making it fall into a similar ethereal state.

During cultivation, the spiritual figure naturally needs to mobilize the exercises to cooperate.

A hazy text appeared in the sea of ​​divine consciousness. The text was colorful, and there was a faint mark similar to a "soup spoon" in the colorful text.

…

"There is indeed a ban."

"The Key to Heaven, the Spiritual Treasure of the Hedao."

Inside the alchemy room, Shen Lian's mental state reached a super tense state.

Although the Hedao spiritual treasure is powerful, there are many disciples in Juntian Pavilion, and the mark separated from it cannot be continuously paid attention to by Juntian Key. This spoon mark is actually a ban, similar to the spiritual ban contract cast by the cultivator himself.

The reason why it appears in the shape of a soup spoon is purely a personal method, just like the habit of some weapon refiners to leave their own unique mark on the spiritual treasures they refine.

But after all, it was the mark left by the Hedao Lingbao. Even though the aura of this spiritual forbidden spirit was not even one-tenth of that of the Hedao Lingbao, Shen Lian still did not relax at all.

He also found that the spiritual ban was very interesting. It only sealed the late and perfect parts of the Refining Void Realm, while the middle and previous parts were released.

…

One month later.

“Three flowers gather at the top of your head, five qi converge to the origin. It turns out that you haven’t fully understood it. You have stopped before the integration of the Dao. This is not the real three flowers, nor the real five qi.”

Inside the alchemy room, Shen Lian, who was surrounded by the alchemy fire, slowly opened his eyes, fatigue visible on his face.

"That's fine too. When I reach the state of unity with the Tao, that's when I'll create my own path of advancing the three methods simultaneously. Practicing other people's methods will always put me under their control."

"The three flowers that you couldn't comprehend, I will comprehend. The five energies that you couldn't comprehend, I will comprehend."

"Let a weapon spirit at the Hedao level put a stamp on your brain, even if you kill me, it won't work."

"Collect the pills."

看着丹炉中毁掉一半的灵丹，沈炼一脸默然的打出法诀将丹灰一同收了起来，又放入了几颗同种灵丹重新收了一次。

炼丹成功率要保持。

“对了，差点忘了。”

片刻间，沈炼双眸微闭，神念海中神魂小人絮絮叨叨了几个晦涩的字符。

与此同时，淳于仲侯的储物戒指内，那只放着含香静心丹的丹药瓶中，丹丸紫韵一闪，如丹香一般溢散出来，化为小漩涡积蓄在了丹瓶中。

只要丹瓶打开，香气自然溢散出去。

接着，沈炼起身趴在了丹炉下面一阵猛抠，一块六阶上品的千幻灵晶被他抠了出来，瞬间收进了体内。

……

两个月后。

洞府外又有求丹人出现，打断了淳于仲侯的修炼，也将沈炼从丹室中唤了出来。

“咦，淳于师兄也在？”

来者也是一位钧天阁的内门弟子，名为林烨。

淳于仲侯收了修炼和来者寒暄了几句，虽说同为钧天阁内门弟子，可双方并不是很熟识。

“淳于师兄也是来寻六乾丹的？”

淳于仲侯不可否认的点了点头。

沈炼也热情的接待了这位林烨，并且详细的说了自己六乾丹的功效和副作用，并且贴心的还拿出了配套的护脉丹。

林烨带着灵丹离开的时候，也和沈炼约好了，一旦服用者进阶成功后，要来天尘山这里亲自述说突破经验，为灵丹进一步改进做依据。

淳于仲侯在这里已经修炼了两个月了，自然也没有再留下。

“淳于道友，修炼的大道理老夫也不懂，可老夫作为炼丹师，每次炼丹之后都要好好休息一段时间，才会重新开炉炼丹，一来是恢复消耗的精神力，二来是为了放松心情，料想修行之事也应该劳逸结合。”

“多谢姬前辈教诲，待在下突破成功后，定会将详细的突破过程一一描述给前辈，以供后续灵丹改良之用。”

淳于仲侯拱手一礼后，带着六乾丹、护脉丹也离开了。

洞府门前，看着远去的淳于仲侯，沈炼眼睛撇了一眼外面的求丹者，迈着四方步就朝着洞府内走去，丝毫没有搭理的意思。

“堂堂丹师，就知道跪舔钧天阁的弟子，我呸，枉我还想着跟此人修习丹术，这丹术不修也罢！”

“就是，这丹不求也罢，就不信没了这六乾丹我体修还不突破了。”

“高攀低踩，人之常情，我等在多停留一些时日，说不定姬丹师看在我等诚心份上就会拿出几颗六乾丹了。”

洞府外，一群修士低声嘟囔者有之，愤愤不平者有之。

其中有两位修士更是召唤出灵宝飞身而去，其中一个身披黑袍，身材壮硕的身影刚刚飞出去没多远，接着身躯一震，脚下大钉耙当空划了一个弧度，重新冲向了沈炼洞府所在。

此修，正是刚刚叫嚣着这丹不求也罢之人。

“姬前辈高义。”

在众目睽睽之下，大愣愣的看着钉耙修士噗通跪在了洞府外，手中捧着一颗闪烁着火焰纹路的丹丸，激动的狂呼。

半空中，模样似丹师的那位，狠狠甩袍远遁。

“有辱仙德，有辱仙德，本丹师羞与尔等为伍。”

……

“靠，没想到姬前辈吃这种激将法，为啥不是我。”

“就是就是，这里是钧天城，谁不是在钧天阁羽翼下修行，姬前辈结交钧天阁弟子也是人之常情，刚刚那位丹师眼界太片面了。”

“难怪只是一个小丹师，也就是姬丹师脾气好，不跟这种小丹师计较。”

……

洞府内，沈炼透过灵禁看向了外面，幽幽的叹了口气。

若没有两个小点点，他未必会比外面的这些修士好到哪里去，该软软该硬硬才是常态。

都是好修士，要怪就怪这修仙环境，道友的本心都是好的，也就是一时情急口不择言了。

一颗下等品质的六乾丹，能不能熬过雷劈就看造化了。

重新在洞府内检查了一遍，沈炼将之前布置的阵法扯掉，又重新将灵山颠倒阵显化出来，还炼制了几炉香气四溢的灵丹，给洞府换了换口味。

“钧天匙高悬在钧天阁上空，凡是进入的修士都会受到其笼罩，唉……堂堂合道圣地还搞的这么森然。”

丹室内，炼丹结束的沈炼眉头微皱。

他觉得之前的谋划可能会出现偏差，钧天阁的合道器灵似乎掌控了整个钧天洞天空间，除非是陷入沉睡中，才会降低对外感知。

也就是说，他想要进去查探宝阁内的收藏，需要等候钧天匙沉睡才行。

可什么时候沉睡，哪怕是钧天阁的内山长老都不清楚。

如他这般的修士，还是少在合道层次的生灵面前晃荡才是正理。

“罢了，功法到手了，三法齐了，先好好修炼一段时间。”

神念没入随身小世界中，对于正在整理灵药的三小只投落了意念。

“从现在开始都给我好好修炼。”

……

“本来还对五气朝元功后续的随身法术挺期待的，没想到也不过如此，和我构思的三花聚顶差不多，倒是没必要重新修了，还是按照我的路子走，毕竟开创这门法的前辈已经证明了他的路没打通。”

“浑天劫体有三门体修法术，可分别融合不同的规则之力施展，我胸中有五雷，可施展五雷轰顶之术，蕴藏一丝劫气。”

“这门法术有点意思，对于那些压着自己境界不敢渡劫的修士，一丝劫气下说不定会直接侧漏。”

“太上十三经有两门法，同样要契合五行施展，太虚泪，用来偷袭比较好，释放的时候隐秘性强，御剑术倒是跑路的好方法。”

功法的事情解决后，沈炼心思渐渐沉了下来，服下了一枚修炼灵丹，开始炼化法力。

……

天尘山洞府外，挂上了一张‘改良灵丹，谢绝打扰’的牌子。

哪怕是渡劫归来的淳于仲侯，无奈之下将自己的服丹经验烙印在了玉简仲，挂在了洞府之外。

就这样，沈炼窝在洞府中，安静的修炼了一段岁月。

整整三百年后，他都处于积蓄法力的状态。

……

“上等品质的灵丹就是好用，难怪大家哪怕花费更高的灵石也要求购好品质的灵丹，确实是品质越高效果越明显。”

随身小世界内，三百多盒封禁的灵丹中已经被沈炼吃掉了将近一百盒，下丹田内积蓄的法力距离炼虚中期还有一些距离。

炼虚境的修行比化神难了太多，他飞升上界加起来才千年左右，更不要说他是三法齐头并进的修炼，消耗是别人的三倍。

加上他融合法力的规则是五行、阴阳两种大规则，规则融合度才是破阶的关键。

对于炼虚境的修士来说，只要有一种规则之力和法力融合度达到了三成，就算是迈入炼虚中期了，甭管这种规则是单一的木、火、土，还是大规则重力、空间、魂道。

助力融合法力和规则融合的灵丹也有，可总体来说还是狼多肉少。

单一小规则的融合丹就供不应求了，更不要说大规则之力的融合灵丹，更是受人追捧，每次都会被溢价抢购。

“我倒是不需要规则和法力融合的灵丹，五行和阴阳按部就班的融合下去并没有瓶颈，魂道有先天紫光映照，融合的速度也不慢。”

“不过，望舒的轮回规则，老黄的重力规则，什邡的生死规则方面的融合灵丹还是看看能不能寻到。”

“等我突破炼虚中期，炼丹术提升到六阶中品，在钧天城的地位就能再涨一重，到时候就会有更多的道友来给我送资源了。”

对于三大紫光分身，沈炼抱有很大的期待。

正常的修行资源还能通过正常渠道获得，等进阶炼虚圆满后，想要获得渡劫灵物，更高阶的秘宝什么的，就必须要动手了。

不把这三个打手培养起来，难不成到时候他自己亲自上场？

连合道老祖都要亲自下场抢夺资源，苟着修炼不假，可天上又不掉秘宝。

“轮回规则，望舒啊望舒，你真的是会选择，在钧天城这么久了，就从来没有听过有修士参悟轮回规则的。”

“玩的这么花哨，连偷师的地方都没有。”

沈炼挠了挠头，不但没有听过有修轮回规则的修士，他想要参悟的空间规则，整个钧天阁这么多修士也都没有一个。

净整这些高大上的玩意，一点都不接地气。

相比于本尊的突破进度，婠婠分身和雉凤分身提升的那就快很多了，已经拔高到了六阶初期层次。

三小只提升的速度也不慢，除了大黑还差点，三千和二万都达到了化神巅峰层次，快要渡炼虚天劫了。

虽说距离炼虚中期还差一点距离，可对于沈炼来说，安排突破境界之地的事情也早就提上了日程。

他是万万不敢在钧天城突破境界的，主要是怕在三法同时突破的时候，再次引来什么异象。

到时候哪怕露出一丝异象，他想跑都跑不了。

Before this, he had sent a message to Huang Youdao and Elder Wangshu to come to Juntian City. On the way there, the two of them changed their goal and looked for a suitable place to break through.

"It's been more than 800 years since I came out. It's normal to return to Cangyuan to visit relatives."

Then, Shen Lian started to organize his household affairs and prepare to go home to visit his relatives.

There's nothing wrong with breaking through to the middle stage of the Void Refining stage on the way back from the family.

He hung a jade slip outside the cave, briefly stating the details of his tour.

Even though he had been in seclusion for more than 300 years, there were still a few cultivators lingering outside the cave, hoping to move Master Ji Dan with their sincerity.

How could Master Ji, who mixes sweet potato flour into the elixirs he makes, be sincere?

The mission of Liu Qian Dan has been completed. Whether it will be refined in the future or not is up to fate.

"My fellow Taoists, the Liu Qian Dan still has a big flaw. I have been studying it for hundreds of years and still feel that it is missing something. I am going to travel around to see if I can get some inspiration."

"Senior Ji, we are willing to follow you..."

One cultivator was smart and opened his mouth hurriedly, only to find that Master Ji Dan had turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Three hundred years later, Juntian City is still as bustling as before, with cultivators gathering from all directions one after another, as if there is no end.

After purchasing some spiritual objects for the family in the city, such as sixth-level formations and large quantities of fourth- and fifth-level resources, Shen Lian flew towards the outside of Juntian City.

Go home, go home!

He drove the escape light to break through the defensive light shield of Juntian City and landed on the huge platform outside the light shield, looking at the giant ships, giant turtles, giant whales, etc. anchored at the end of the platform.

"Friend Ji."

At this time, a voice was heard from a floating island in the void wrapped in the long blue river.

Shen Lian looked carefully and saw that it was Xiao Ouzi with eyes on his nose. This guy had taken away several bottles of medium-quality Zi Ling Xu Yun Dan from him.

Looking again, he saw that there were many disciples of Juntian Pavilion on the floating island, as well as many Lianxu cultivators. A burly guy even bowed to him.

"Tielin who ate his elixir."

"Where are you planning to go, Fellow Daoist Ji?"

Although Ou Cunjie was very arrogant, Shen Lian didn't care at all and said casually, "I have been in Juntian City for too long. I am worried about my family, so I plan to go back and take a look."

After a brief chat, Shen Lian chose another giant ship nearby and flew over.

A group of inner disciples of Juntian Pavilion, plus some Void-Refining cultivators in Juntian City, gathered together for the purpose of heading to a mineral vein.

There are many monks in Juntian Pavilion and they consume huge amounts of spirit stones every year, so they occupy many mineral veins as resources to support the monks in the sect.

Most of these mineral veins are located in the void outside the area. The void is a lawless area. The desperadoes don't care whether you are a disciple of Juntian Pavilion or not. They will show no mercy when it comes to robbing and will kill anyone who needs to be killed.

This time there must be a problem with a mineral vein, and this group of people is going to clear it up.

Shen Lian naturally would not get involved in such matters. He was now busy checking out the place he had chosen for cultivation.

He had spiritual stone veins in his own alchemy furnace. As long as he opened the furnace, he could secretly withhold the spiritual medicines from the alchemists without any conscience. Mining was not as good as making spiritual stones with a guilty conscience.

…

On the giant ship, a city spread out.

"Wanlingfang" food shortage.

Or maybe it’s not tiring to travel long distances through the void. There is everything on the giant ship, including delicious food and prostitutes.

At this moment, there were only about a dozen guests on the three floors of the dining hall.

"What is this Xianfu Mantang?"

"Replying to Senior, this is spiritual rice cooked from dozens of kinds of spiritual rice."

Shen Lian pointed at the menu and asked the waiter beside him.

"This green mountain will never change."

"Emerald carrot."

“This is a gathering of talented people.”

"A plate of water radish."

…

"You are very honest."

The waiter smiled at him and said, "Don't lie in front of a senior. What is is what it is."

"I want a fifth-level braised bear paw."

"What is this fresh blood?"

"My boss caught a sixth-rank Tiantu in the void not long ago. The blood of this tribe is extremely rare. After drinking it, one can feel the intersection of nine levels of ice and fire. If it is paired with a few fairies, it will be a wonderful experience of traveling to the heavens."

Looking at the waiter's longing expression, it feels like he has really tried it.

Hearing the voice, Shen Lian's heart moved.

"Your host is really amazing. He was able to capture even the Tiantu tribe. This tribe is one of the most difficult to capture in the Void Land, second only to the Xuling tribe."

"What's the matter with the Void Spirits? Thousands of years ago, our Changkong Giant Ship really encountered a Void Spirit. Unfortunately, this tribe is good at space magic, so even if we sealed it off, it still escaped."

After ordering a few dishes at random, Shen Lian began to enjoy them.

The demon beasts that have been successfully trained are indeed chewy when they taste. The fifth-level demon king who is the ancestor of the Yunxiao Realm is squatting on the plate at this moment.

Shen Lian asked for a few more pots, and put them into his portable little world and gave them to the three little ones, to let them see the consequences of not practicing hard.

After eating, they returned to the cave arranged on the giant ship, waiting to set off.

…

Not long after we sat down in the cave, there was a knock on the door.

Two burly men stood outside the door.

"Master Ji Dan."

Shen Lian looked at the figures that appeared, his thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning. He had seen the hemp-robed monk among the two men before, and had bought elixirs from him before, but he was in the early stage of refining emptiness at that time, while now he is in the middle stage of refining emptiness.

There are very few casual cultivators who can practice both Dharma and body, so he was a little surprised to see two of them appear at once.

"So it's Brother Hong, who is this?"

Shen Lian invited people into the cave.

"This is Daoist Zhao Qi."

After the middle-stage Lianxu cultivator named Hong came in, he introduced Zhao Qi who was beside him to Shen Lian.

"I didn't expect to meet Master Ji Dan here." Hong Yuan laughed.

"Ji, I didn't expect to meet you two fellow Taoists here." Shen Lian responded with a smile, "If you two want elixirs, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I came out to look for elixirs. I don't have many elixirs with me, and I'm afraid there are none that you need."

"That's fine. Master Ji can start refining. It will take a long time for the giant ship to cross the sky. Fellow Daoist Hong and I will guard outside the door to ensure that no one disturbs Fellow Daoist Ji."

Zhao Qi spoke with a smile and glanced at Hong Yuan.

"That's right. Master Ji Dan is traveling alone, so it would be more reassuring if we two were with him."

Shen Lian frowned.

Then, he stood up and walked away, directly knocking the two people who were standing up away.

"Come with me, I'll take you to meet a friend."

Zhao Qi was startled, and Hong Yuan asked in confusion: "Does Daoist Ji have other Daoists accompanying him?"

They both clearly saw Shen Lian boarding the ship alone and did not communicate with anyone during the journey.

This giant ship had only been docked for a short time, and among the cultivators who came on board, except for two at the early stage of Refinement of Void, all others were at the Spirit Transformation stage.

Shen Lian ignored the two of them. After walking out of the cave, he flew towards the bow of the giant ship.

Then he opened his mouth wide and shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Ou, these two people said they are willing to go to the mine with you and go through fire and water for Juntian Pavilion!"

When Hong Yuan and Zhao Chi arrived at the top of the deck and looked into the distance, they saw Ou Cunjie sitting cross-legged on a high place on the Void Island, and their expressions suddenly changed.

"Why, didn't you two just say that you admired Fellow Daoist Ou? I introduced you to each other, but now you deny him. What do you think of me, Ji?"

Shen Lian sneered and glared at the two burly men in front of him.

"Master Ji Dan, we didn't... didn't..."

Zhao Chi broke out in a cold sweat. I swear to God, haven't their evil intentions been fully unleashed yet?

"Friend Ji, this is not okay. I just ran into a good friend when I went out."

After a moment, Ou Cunjie came directly from the air and landed in front of him, still with that dead look on his face, and spoke in a playful tone.

"I can't help it. As an alchemist with a certain reputation, these two are my 'good' friends. Please take good care of them."

Hearing Shen Lian insisting on the word "OK", Hong Yuan and Zhao Chi were startled. This alchemist really knows how to take advantage of others.

"It just so happens that the mines in the Void Land need fellow practitioners like you. Don't worry, for the sake of Master Ji Dan, I will definitely take good care of you. Go to the Void Island and wait for you."

"Why are you unwilling to work for Juntian Pavilion?"

Seeing the two figures standing still, Ou Cunjie's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light, "Coincidentally, I am also practicing both Dharma and body, unlike Master Ji Dan who is a weak Dharma and body practitioner, how about we have a fight?"

"I dare not, I am willing to go through fire and water for Juntian Pavilion."

Hong Yuan and the other man glanced at Shen Lian and flew to the Void Island. They didn't dare to run away. The core disciples of Juntian Pavilion in Juntian City could kill them and nothing would happen.

"Friend Ji, these two physical cultivators are pretty good. Do you want me to find a puppeteer to make them for you and send them back to you? You can keep them by your side for self-defense."

Ou Cunjie transmitted the message, saying that they were just two ordinary middle-stage Void Refinement cultivators, and he did not take them seriously at all. Although he was only in the early stage of Void Refinement, he was very confident.

"That's not good... Thank you very much, and try not to drop your realm."

Shen Lian hesitated and gave the instruction with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay. When I'm done with my work, give me two more of your Death Qi Pills. It will be really fun to play with them."

After winking at Shen Lian, Ou Cunjie returned to the floating island in the void and became his arrogant and dead look again.

…

"call……"

Shen Lian exhaled and staggered towards the cave.

Alchemists are technical craftsmen, how can they engage in violence?

In addition to taking out elixirs for cultivation from him, Ou Cunjie also took away a few elixirs for relieving fatigue and happiness.

"People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. It seems that the fame accumulated over the past few hundred years has taken effect. I was targeted the first time I went out. They actually treated the noble alchemist like this. Fortunately, there are people behind this alchemist."

After returning to the cave, Shen Lian hadn't even sat down yet when someone knocked on the door again.

This time it's a good thing.

The cave has been upgraded.

The cave he lived in was only of a mid-level level.

The person behind the giant ship took the initiative to upgrade his cave.

Not only did he live in the first-class cave on the top of the giant ship, but it was also equipped with a rockery and hot springs, and had fairies when he came in and attendants when he went out.

They also refunded the previous shipping fee and gave me a small gift.

"The true disciples of Juntian Pavilion are still the best."

Lying in the hot spring, with a fairy massaging his shoulders on each side, Shen Lian muttered something silently.

After Ou Cunjie ate his Liuqian Pill and began to practice both magic and body, he actually snatched a position as a true successor.

"Okay, I need to practice, you guys can leave now."

After half a day, Shen Lian withdrew his big hands from the thin gauze skirt, and the expression on his face became sacred.

The two female cultivators who were rubbing their legs and shoulders with blushing faces were a little dazed when they saw Shen Lian trying to drive them away. What a bad cultivator! Their breasts were still red.

"I'm sorry, the technique I'm practicing cannot be broken until it reaches the state of harmony."

The two female cultivators lowered their heads and looked at Shen Lian pitifully, then slowly pushed him down. This great alchemist was really unlucky, as he would never be able to enjoy the joy of love until his death.

In this way, thanks to Ou Cunjie, Shen Lian soaked in hot springs and practiced along the way, and after several trips, he finally arrived at the land of Wansha.

…

The blue waves are endless, with layer upon layer of ocean stacked up from top to bottom, and there is no telling how many layers there are.

In the vast ocean, small islands, some golden and some black, emerged from the water.

When I first heard the name, I thought it was a land of yellow sand, but I didn’t expect it to be such a sandy place with pointed islands everywhere in the ocean.

Each island is not big, the largest one is only a few miles in circumference, and many of them only have a small pointed tip.

Such a strange scene spread across the vast, overlapping ocean.

The island is not only small but also very desolate. There are living creatures in the sea, but most of them are of low quality.

Wangshu and Huang Youdao, who had arrived here long in advance, checked a large area along the sea.

Shen Lian dived directly into the depths of the sea and found a natural cave deep under the sea as a place for retreat.

Carry it with you in the cave.

Huang Youdao, Wangshu and You Shifang sat cross-legged together.

"This is yours."

"It's yours. Yours."

"You, the dignified ancestor, don't support me, but instead let me take resources away from you against my conscience. This is simply against Tiangang."

The jade boxes that were flying in the crooked hall fell down one by one and piled on the three people.

"Practice well and improve your strength as soon as possible so that you can work for me."

The three of them collected all the jade boxes, then turned into streams of light and dispersed on the seabed, hiding in different levels of water and began to practice.

These three clones benefited from the original body's understanding of the five elements rules, and now their five elements rules have been elevated to the second level.

What was lacking was the power of other major rules of their respective choices. The elixirs related to gravity and the rules of life and death were easy to deal with, as Shen Lian had taken advantage of the situation to get them at Juntian Pavilion. However, Wangshu's rules of reincarnation could only be comprehended bit by bit.

Four figures went to four different places to practice. The endless ocean was still calm, with small waves sparkling.

After Shen Lian arranged the defense, he did not start practicing.

Although the creatures in this vast ocean are not of high rank, there are many aquatic creatures such as fish, shrimps, crabs, and there are also several groups of water snakes living there.

The last time a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky, even the small black fish in the mountain stream spit out bubbles and their bloodlines underwent some mutations. Shen Lian will not forget this incident this time.

"Alas, I will definitely be scolded for doing this."

In the cave, Shen Lian pinched his nose and took out a storage ring, and also took out an alchemy cauldron that he rarely used.

He put all kinds of feces, some black insect corpses and strange herbs in the storage ring into the alchemy cauldron.

After a ball of alchemy fire enveloped the alchemy furnace, a strong sour and smelly smell began to sublime little by little in the furnace.

…

“Uh uh uh… Master, you…”

Sanqian, who had just jumped out of his personal little world, screamed when he smelled the scent.

"Master, you fell into the pit!"

"What are you talking about? Have you ever seen such a sour and refreshing cesspool in heaven or on earth?"

Shen Lian had a huge mask on his face and a muffled voice came out.

"This is what your master has carefully refined."

Although he blocked his six senses, he could still feel the smell, so he made himself an anti-odor mask.

Then, he brought Sanqian in front of him and opened the alchemy furnace.

"Master, please kill me. I have never smelled such smelly poop."

"Xiao Sanqian, your mission is to quietly spread this feces all over this sea area and drive away all the creatures in this area. I want there to be no fish, shrimp or crab here. Even the monks passing by will be driven away by the smoke."

Inside the alchemy furnace, lumps of dark stuff with flower-like cracks were bubbling up and down, emitting steam.

Sanqian looked at the dung ball cauldron with big watery eyes and almost cried.

The first task the owner gave it in a serious manner was to ask it to throw dung balls.

"By the way, don't throw away this tripod. You may need it again next time."

The water droplets rolling in the three thousand big eyes could no longer hold back and fell down, forming a small-scale rainfall.

Wow... the owner actually wants to keep this cauldron for next use.
