Chapter 195: Twelve Patterns of Super-quality Golden Elixir, the Supreme Path to Heaven
"Xiaodong, it seems that I underestimated you. You are really something."
"I thought you wouldn't be able to stand losing, but I didn't expect your faith to be so firm. You are worthy of being the Qilin son of my Jiang family. You didn't disappoint me, your aunt."
Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Dongliu who was flying back, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said with approval.
In response, Jiang Dongliu rolled his eyes at Jiang Qing in annoyance.
Because he clearly remembered how resistant his aunt's face was when she told him that she wanted to compete with Lu Chen.
Although he also knew that his aunt was doing this for his own good and was afraid that his faith would be broken.
But this worry is completely unnecessary.
Want to know who he is?
He is the eldest son of the Jiang family, the chief of the Sword Academy of Qinghe Taoist Academy, and the youngest chief administrator in the history of Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division, Jiang Dongliu!
How could his Dao heart be broken so easily! Not to mention losing to Lu Chen, even if he really lost to Lu Chen one day and died at his hands, he would be cut in half.
Then he would only blame himself for being too weak and not letting Lu Chen have fun.
Instead of regretting why Lu Chen is so strong.
The strong swing their swords against the stronger, and the weak swing their fists against the weaker.
Jiang Dongliu never cares about winning or losing.
Because in his eyes, his only opponent is himself.
It's okay to lose to others.
But if he admits defeat in his mind before even fighting, it will really affect his spiritual practice.
Because it means he lost to himself.
However, although Jiang Dongliu lost to Lu Chen in the kendo competition, if the two of them really went all out instead of limiting the competition to the scope of kendo.
Jiang Dongliu felt that he would be the winner in the end.
Because the 'Emperor's Jade Seal' transformed from Bai Ze's Mountain and Sea Palm Sutra is an existence comparable to a four-level Taoist weapon.
The fourth realm Taoist weapon is an existence comparable to the sword domain of the Hedao realm.
Therefore, as long as he used this 'Imperial Jade Seal', even if Lu Chen mastered multiple Hedao realm sword domains, he would still find it difficult to compete with him at this moment.
But for Jiang Dongliu, who has a proud personality, he doesn't want to do anything to bully the weak.
Everything happened just as he said, using the cultivation base of the Jindan stage to deal with a foundation-building stage cultivator.
This in itself is a bit embarrassing.
If he has to use the power of the strange beasts from the mountains and seas in the end, then even if he wins, it would be an unfair victory.
But when he thought that Lu Chen could actually master four sword domains of the Hedao Realm during the Foundation Establishment Period, Jiang Dongliu could not help but clench his fists.
"Aunt, I'll go back to my family's ancestral land during this time."
"Um?"
Hearing that Jiang Dongliu actually wanted to return to his ancestral land, Jiang Qing quickly realized that he was stimulated by Lu Chen and prepared to practice seriously.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell your mother later and ask her to take you to the ancestral land."
"But you have to be prepared. Those who remain in the ancestral land are all the powerful men of our Jiang family from past generations."
"Although only a trace of their souls remains, each of them was once a famous figure."
“Before you get their approval, you can’t get out even if you want to.”
"Can you bear this loneliness?"
If it were before today, Jiang Dongliu, who had a casual personality, would naturally not want to trap himself in one place for a long time.
Not to mention that the flow of time in the ancestral land is different from that in the outside world.
If you stay in a place like that for five years, it might seem like only one year has passed in the outside world.
This also means that Jiang Dongliu will not be able to play with beautiful young ladies for five years.
But compared to these, Jiang Dongliu now feels that he has found something more interesting.
That is to strive to reach the Hedao realm before the Taoist Academy competition.
He believed that by then, he would be able to compete with Lu Chen even in kendo.
And that day won’t be too far away.
Because in this brief exchange with Lu Chen, he should have vaguely felt that he had touched the threshold of that realm.
At this moment, he seemed to have a vague concept in his mind, but no matter how he thought about it, this concept would not become clear, but would only become more and more vague.
It feels like you have thought of something, but the more you think about it, the harder it is to remember.
Similar situations have occurred to Jiang Dongliu many times.
He had encountered such a situation before when he was comprehending the sword intent.
And his solution to this situation was very simple.
That is to just ignore it.
Because as long as the right opportunity comes, this vague idea will appear clearly in his mind like a flash of inspiration.
Although Jiang Dongliu didn't know what the opportunity was that would allow him to enter the Hedao realm.
But he felt that with a few more similar battles, he might be able to capture that feeling.
The Jiang family's ancestral land can bring him such an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dongliu glanced at Lu Chen who was also falling from the sky and walked to Yu Tianqi and others.
Although the Taoist Academy Competition is still about a year away, he is already looking forward to their second fight at that time.
That time, it will surely be more interesting than now.
Perhaps feeling Jiang Dongliu's gaze, Lu Chen nodded to him politely.
Although neither of them spoke, they both understood many things in their hearts without having to say them.
The Taoist Academy Competition one year later would be the time when the two would truly fight.
But by then, one of them will represent Qinghe Taoist Academy.
The other one represents Lihuo Taoist Temple.
Lu Chen was actually looking forward to this.
After all, Jiang Dongliu is by far the most difficult peer he has ever met, no doubt about it.
Luocheng No. 1 Middle School, the secret valley of Wuquan Mountain.
When the competition was over, Jiang Dongliu took Bian Shouyi and left temporarily.
Although he said he wanted to go to the Jiang family's ancestral land.
But before that, he still needs to help Bian Shouyi successfully break through the foundation-building stage.
Because Jiang Qing wanted to protect Mu Xiaoye, he just said a few words to Jiang Dongliu and let him go back by himself.
After all, Jiang Dongliu's current cultivation level has reached the point where he can stand on his own.
A golden elixir of heavenly quality, plus Bai Ze, a sixth-level exotic beast from the mountains and seas.
For now, Jiang Dongliu just needs to avoid provoking those old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage.
He can walk around the huge Immortal Alliance with ease, and few people can threaten him.
After Jiang Dongliu left, Lu Chen went to find Jiang Qing alone.
Because he had some questions he wanted to ask Jiang Qing, a powerful Yuanying stage cultivator.
"Master Jiang, do you have time now?"
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Jiang Qing knew that he probably wanted to ask him something, so he nodded and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them directly. As long as I can answer them, I can answer you."
Lu Chen did not hide anything and asked directly: "Master Jiang, I wonder what conditions this foundation-building cultivator needs to meet in order to achieve a top-grade golden elixir?"
Jiang Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that although Lu Chen was only at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had already started thinking about this problem.
Wait, the fourth level of the foundation building period?! Previously, because Jiang Qing had focused on Lu Chen's swordsmanship, he had not really paid much attention to Lu Chen's cultivation.
Only now did she suddenly realize that Lu Chen was already a cultivator at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his cultivation speed was so fast that Jiang Qing could hardly understand it.
You should know that Jiang Dongliu achieved the Golden Core Stage at the age of 22.
But this was because the Jiang family had invested a lot of cultivation resources in him.
Coupled with the specific blessed place in Qinghe Taoist Temple, his cultivation speed was able to be so fast.
The one year he spent practicing in the Taoist temple was equivalent to ten years or even longer of practicing in other places.
This is also the reason why even the Jiang family, a family of immortality, would let their children go to the Taoist temple to study.
When it comes to educating disciples, the four major Taoist temples do have their own unique ways.
However, Lu Chen has already cultivated to the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage without even entering the Taoist Academy.
This was when Lu Chen had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage half a year ago.
Jiang Qing, who had read Lu Chen's information, understood very well what his current level of cultivation meant.
Is it that this kid has special talents and his training speed is different from ordinary people, or does he have some special opportunities?
Although Jiang Qing was a little curious about why Lu Chen's cultivation was so fast, she did not dare to ask.
After all, the Immortal Alliance is so big, it is normal to have some adventures.
As long as you don't take any crooked paths, neither the Immortal Alliance nor other Immortal Alliance forces will ask too many questions.
Situations like killing people for treasure only occurred in the barbaric era before the establishment of the Immortal Alliance.
After the Immortal Alliance ruled the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands, although such situations still occurred, they rarely happened anymore.
After all, if you can do it on the first day, others can do it on the fifteenth.
In order to avoid this kind of internal friction, the Immortal Alliance has very severe punishments in this regard.
And now that Lu Chen has reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he is indeed able to know some things about the breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing immediately said: "If you want to break through to the upper-grade golden elixir, you need to meet three conditions."
"First, the quality of your immortal foundation during the foundation-building period must reach the upper grade, that is, above the third grade of heavenly foundation-building."
"Secondly, your spiritual realm must reach the 'real realm'."
"The third point, and also the most important one, is that you must master enough Dao realms, so that you can leave enough Dao patterns on your golden elixir."
"One Dao pattern is ninth grade, two is eighth grade... and so on."
"So a top-grade golden elixir requires at least seven Dao patterns."
"By the way, do you know how Daoqi was created?"
Lu Chen was stunned, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"I guess so. After all, you probably haven't been exposed to this kind of information before."
"In fact, the biggest difference between Dao tools and ordinary spiritual treasures and magic weapons lies in the Dao patterns on them."
"But unlike a cultivator's golden elixir which only needs to enter the Dao realm to leave Dao patterns, the standard for a Dao weapon is that it must leave Dao patterns of the He Dao realm to be qualified."
"If it is only at the Dao Entry Level, then it can only be considered a Quasi-Daoist Weapon."
"The four spiritual swords in your hands are already infinitely close to being quasi-Dao weapons."
"The reason I'm saying this is so that you can understand what the Dao patterns of the Golden Core Stage are."
"You should know clearly now that the first two of the three conditions I mentioned earlier for achieving a high-grade golden elixir are just preparations."
"The only thing that's really important is the last one, which is the Golden Core Dao Pattern."
“Those cultivators who have not achieved the Heavenly Dao Immortal Foundation during the Foundation Establishment Period do not have enough spiritual power to engrave more than seven Dao Entry Realms on their own Golden Core.”
"A cultivator whose soul realm has not reached the realm of reality cannot carve patterns on his golden elixir."
"The reason why many Fake Dan Stage cultivators are in the Fake Dan Stage is because their golden cores do not have Dao patterns."
"Golden elixirs like theirs can at best make cultivators' spiritual power deeper and of higher quality than those in the foundation-building stage. There's nothing special about them."
"But the golden elixir with Dao patterns is different."
"You should have seen a lot of the power of the golden elixir, right?"
Lu Chen nodded. He had indeed encountered the so-called power of the golden elixir many times.
It is a special realm between the state of entering the Tao and the state of merging the Tao.
It's a bit like the result of a Jindan stage cultivator forcibly performing a move with the help of his own cultivation.
Before, he didn't understand the principle of the power of the golden elixir.
But now he almost understands.
That is the Dao pattern left by the cultivator on his golden elixir, with the blessing of his own golden elixir's power.
Even if the cultivator's own realm has not reached the Hedao realm.
However, it can also allow one to temporarily break through the limit of the Dao Entry Realm and reach the level of Half-Step Dao Integration Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly became curious about a question...
"Master Jiang, can a person have more than nine Dao patterns?"
"No, are you so crazy?"
Although Lu Chen did not say it explicitly, Jiang Qing understood what he meant at the first moment.
There is no doubt that Lu Chen wanted to engrave all the Dao patterns of his four Hedao realm sword domains on his golden elixir.
But this is almost impossible...
"Lu Chen, there are some things I say that you may not listen to, but I still have to say them."
"You can master four Hedao realms in the Jindan stage. Your sword talent can indeed be called unprecedented. In the history of the Immortal Alliance for tens of thousands of years, let alone mastering four Hedao realms in the foundation building stage, there has never been a foundation building cultivator who has mastered one Hedao realm."
"But understanding is understanding, and cultivation is cultivation. The Dao patterns that the golden elixir can contain are limited."
"If you want to engrave your four Dao patterns of the He Dao Realm on your own golden elixir, the only result I can think of is..."
"Bang, it exploded like a balloon."
As he spoke, Jiang Qing spread out his hands and gave a very vivid analogy.
She did this simply because she didn't want Lu Chen to take the risk of doing such a horrible thing.
Because before Lu Chen, no one had mastered the sword domain of the Hedao realm during the foundation-building period.
Naturally, no one has ever tried to engrave the Dao patterns of the Hedao realm on the golden elixir.
Although the Hedao realm can be understood as the fusion of the three sword intents in the Rudao realm.
But both the quality and the weight of the artistic conception it carries far exceed the sum of the three artistic conceptions of entering the Tao.
If Lu Chen really wanted to engrave his four Dao patterns of the Hedao realm sword domain on his golden elixir.
That is equivalent to Lu Chen wanting his golden elixir to be able to accommodate twelve Dao patterns.
Twelve Dao patterns! This already exceeds the nine Dao patterns that are the limit for a top-grade golden elixir.
And this is just Jiang Qing's most conservative estimate.
Because the weight of the four Hedao realms cannot be compared with the mere twelve Rudao realms.
That was why Jiang Qing was so sure that if Lu Chen really did this, he would definitely explode in the end.
But Lu Chen felt that he might really have a chance to give it a try now.
Because the quality of his foundation-building period is that of a first-grade great Dao immortal foundation.
The upper limit of his own spiritual power is a terrifying '20 million points'.
It is two hundred times that of a normal ninth-grade human foundation-building cultivator.
But if it were just like this, it might still be difficult to carry four Dao patterns of the Hedao realm.
You should know that a Hedao realm cultivator can suppress a Jindan stage cultivator whose spiritual power has reached tens of millions.
In other words, if one wants to fuse a sword domain of the Hedao realm, one would have to consume nearly tens of millions of spiritual power.
In this way, according to his conservative estimate, he should be able to only engrave two Dao patterns of the Hedao realm at the moment.
However, if the four sword formations of the 'Zhuqie Sword Formation' cannot be combined together, their power will be vastly different.
It would be fine if you didn't know about the existence of the Golden Elixir Dao Pattern.
Now that he knows all this, he naturally wants to pursue the ultimate.
Besides, with the 'Fragment of Heaven' (Return to Heaven)', Lu Chen felt that there was room for error.
After all, the function of the Heavenly Dao Fragment (Return to Heaven) is to revive him with full health.
And because he had felt this kind of power, Lu Chen knew that the principle of resurrection was a phenomenon similar to time reversal.
That is to say, let his body regress to a certain time period.
Therefore, even if his attempt fails, he will not explode and die directly. Instead, he will be able to use the Heavenly Dao Fragment (Return to Heaven) to restore himself to the period before the breakthrough.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's thoughts began to become clearer and clearer.
He vaguely felt that an unprecedented supreme avenue appeared before him.
No one has ever realized the state of Hedao during the foundation-building period, but he has already done it.
Then since no one has left the Dao pattern of the Hedao realm on their golden elixir, why can't he?
The super-grade golden elixir with twelve lines...
Lu Chen had the ability to give it a try! However, although he had made up his mind, he did not express it directly.
Because he knew his idea was too crazy.
It's so crazy that even if he says it out loud, others will definitely not understand it.
Therefore, Lu Chen changed the subject and said, "Master Jiang, do you know of any way to further enhance the potential of foundation-building cultivators?"
Jiang Qing looked at Lu Chen seriously, and felt that this boy seemed to really want to try to see if he could engrave multiple Hedao realms on his golden elixir.
But this was Lu Chen's own decision, so she couldn't interfere.
So she chose to answer Lu Chen's current question without saying too much else.
"There are many ways to improve the potential of cultivators, either special natural treasures, special skills, or special blessed places."
"And I guess you want to improve your potential as much as possible so that your golden elixir can integrate more Dao patterns."
"Although I really want to advise you not to do such a crazy thing."
"But I don't know why. I always feel like you probably wouldn't listen even if I told you."
"At present, there are not many methods that can improve the potential of cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and most of them have no effect on you. After all, although I don't know the specific quality of your immortal foundation, I think it will definitely not be lower than the top grade."
"But as far as I know, there is a technique that may be able to help you, but it is a special technique of another immortal family, so I can't ask for it for you."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously: "What technique?"
"The Yi Qi Guan Tong Fu Jing from the Xu family of Liuzhou."
"After practicing this technique, the cultivator can engrave the power of talismans on the surface of the body, which is equivalent to improving the cultivator's physique in disguise."
"But there are many restrictions to practicing this method. Not only does it require a very high level of talismans, but it also requires the cultivator's soul to reach a very high level."
"Of course, judging from your understanding, you should be able to learn this technique."
"But the Liuzhou Xu family's 'One Qi Guantong Fu Jing' and our Jiang family's 'Nanli Minghuo Jue' are both immortal methods. They are the foundation of our roots and will not be passed on to outsiders."
"You are not from the Xu family, so it is basically impossible for them to teach you the Yi Qi Guan Tong Fu Jing."
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask: "Besides this, is there any other way?"
Jiang Qing thought about it and shook his head, "No, because you should know your own body better than I do. You have basically reached the limit of your immortal foundation, and it is difficult to improve further."
"So if you really want to improve your potential, you can only practice in other places."
"Similarly, most of the natural treasures and blessed places will hardly have any effect on you now."
"Because they are essentially just further purified and diluted immortality base."
"For a cultivator like you who has refined his immortal foundation to the extreme, even if they are effective, they will definitely not meet your requirements."
"The Yiqi Guantong Fujing may be your only choice."
