Chapter 537: Dan Condensation

Zhang Zhixuan and others purchased resources worth 200,000 spirit stones at the Xuanyang Conference. This large sum of money can already arouse the greed of Jindan cultivators. However, with the protection of Xuanyang Sect, and Qingchan's already formed a pill, and the great reputation of expelling Xie Yanxia not long ago, several Jindan cultivators who were interested still let go of their greed.

Several people returned to Dafang Island safely on the treasure ship. Hanyan immediately commanded Li Yulin and others to install the God-killing Crossbow to strengthen the defense of the two key points of Dafang Island and Quyang Island. He himself protected Zhang Zhixuan and resisted the prying of outsiders.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan prepared to retreat to break through the Jindan realm.

It has been more than nine years since Zhang Zhixuan broke through to the ninth level of Zifu. Under normal circumstances, the foundation for preparing to form a pill at this time is still a bit superficial. However, he is not an ordinary Zifu cultivator. Not only has he practiced purple qi magic for many years, his magic power is also much stronger than that of ordinary Zifu cultivators.

Zhang Zhixuan's magic power has stopped growing since the year before last. If he had not been in the ruins of Tianyuan Sect at that time, he would have prepared to retreat and form a pill.

Compared with ordinary purple mansion cultivators, Zhang Zhixuan's difficulty in forming a pill is only half.

In order to condense the golden pill, he has made countless preparations. Not only did he practice dual cultivation magic with Qingchan, preparing to break through the barrier with the help of Qingchan's pure yin essence, but he also prepared an external pill.

This external pill came from the inner pill of the green dragon. After all, the green dragon is different from ordinary fourth-level monsters. Its inner pill is quite magical and has some characteristics of the fifth-level monster pill.

Although the external pill refined by the inner pill of the green dragon is not as good as the inner pill of a normal fifth-level monster, it also has 30% to 40% of the efficacy. These two preparations combined are enough to help him increase the probability of breaking through the golden pill by 70% to 80%.

Zhang Zhixuan sat cross-legged on the cushion, with a fist-sized magic pill suspended in front of his chest. He kept spewing out purple air from his mouth and kept hitting the magic pill. The purple air spun around the magic pill for a few times, carrying a trace of magic power and true essence, and then drilled into the upper dantian from his nostrils. The true essence in his body kept spinning, refining the essence of the inner pill of the green dragon, and then circulating it in his body.

Zhang Zhixuan began to practice the Pure Yang Treasure Book, transferring his magic power to the acupoints for practicing the Pure Yang Treasure Book. Many years ago, he had created the Purple Mansion Period method of this practice. Although he could not practice it temporarily after the golden pill, he could use this practice to form a pill.

Because this practice was created by himself, it was actually the most suitable for him to practice.

The strong magic power kept opening acupoints one after another, and the two steps of the Qi training period and the foundation building period were completed in almost the blink of an eye. Even the Purple Mansion Period's practice, because of Zhang Zhixuan's strong magic power, only took less than three months.

Suddenly, more than half a year had passed. After half a year of refining, the size of the magic pill had shrunk several times, leaving only the size of a thumb.

As more and more essence was refined, a lot of true essence pill liquid had condensed in Zhang Zhixuan's dantian.

His heart beat faster and faster, as if it was jumping out of his chest. The long-accumulated mana constantly hit the bottleneck, and the true essence liquid was constantly rotating, as if it could condense into a golden elixir at any time.

Zhang Zhixuan constantly mobilized the purple qi, and mobilized large groups of purple qi from the upper dantian to the middle dantian and the lower dantian.

He had refined the purple qi Xuan Gang, and had opened the three dantians in advance, reducing a very important step in the process of forming the elixir. Although the accumulation time was relatively short, the success rate was much higher than that of ordinary cultivators.

However, forming the elixir is a very rare level on the road of cultivation. Few purple mansion cultivators can succeed in one go. A purple mansion cultivator may have to prepare for hundreds of years to break through the golden elixir.

For example, Lu Hongniang also broke through the golden elixir at the age of 380. At this time, it had been almost 200 years since she cultivated to the ninth level of the purple mansion. In these 200 years, she had tried to form the elixir three times, and only in the last time did she succeed.

As for the Black Mountain's Liang Patriarch, because he had no one to support him, he had much fewer opportunities than Lu Hongniang. After he failed to break through the golden elixir, he cultivated for seventy or eighty years, and did not even wait for the second chance to form the elixir, and he passed away in Black Mountain.

Just when Zhang Zhixuan's sharpness was about to run out, a stream of pure Yin true essence entered his body, and he felt a chill all over his body. Qingchan had already wrapped around him, making him feel refreshed.

Zhang Zhixuan immediately suppressed his desire and continued to refine the strands of pure Yin true essence.

As the pure Yin true essence entered his body, the true essence elixir liquid in Zhang Zhixuan's body began to merge rapidly, and as time went by, it was completely fused into a ball.

Seeing that the golden elixir had taken shape, a vortex of spiritual energy gradually appeared above the underground cave.

The underground cave where Zhang Zhixuan formed the elixir was already a fifth-level spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy it could provide was already very extraordinary. It did not require additional refining of spiritual stones, and it could also provide enough spiritual energy for Zhang Zhixuan to form the elixir.

Zhang Zhixuan was concentrating on retreating, and he was not aware that the Dan-forming phenomenon had already formed. He actually made a big noise, attracting the attention of the monks on Dafang Island. A bottomless abyss that swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had already formed in his body.

Zhang Zhixuan's mana was much stronger than that of ordinary purple mansion cultivators. In the process of transforming true essence, his demand for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was also stronger.

The spiritual energy vortex formed by the Dan-forming of ordinary Jindan cultivators was less than ten miles in radius, but Zhang Zhixuan swallowed and exhaled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like a whale sucking water, and the spiritual energy vortex formed reached dozens of miles in radius.

As the spiritual energy vortex turned faster and faster, the spiritual energy in the underground cave was actually sucked dry by him, and even the fourth-level spiritual veins on Dafang Island were affected. Many monks who were practicing in retreat on the island could not absorb a trace of spiritual energy for a while, as if they had encountered the end of the world. More than a dozen Qi training cultivators even caused the spiritual energy to reverse and hurt their Dantian.

Jia Mengzhen was in seclusion when he suddenly felt his spiritual energy was depleted. He immediately stopped practicing and flew to the top of the mountain. What he saw was a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

He looked at the underground cave with envy, and then laughed heartily: "A strange phenomenon in the world! A strange phenomenon in the world! I never thought that I, Jia Mengzhen, could see this day before I died."

When Jia Mengzhen became Zhang Zhixuan's apprentice, he was about 200 years old. Now, 25 years have passed, and his life span is only a little bit left.

If he had become a disciple a few decades earlier and had a master in the Jindan stage to support him, he would have a great chance to open up the purple mansion and practice to a higher realm. But he was unlucky. Although he had a master and a backer in the world of cultivation, his life span had already reached his old age.

Unless there is a great opportunity, a 200-year-old foundation-building cultivator will have no way out.

Jia Mengzhen was full of gratitude to his master Zhang Zhixuan. After becoming Zhang Zhixuan's disciple, Dafang Island had undergone earth-shaking changes. With Zhang Zhixuan's foundation-building pills, Jia Mengzhen had trained two foundation-building cultivators, and the Jia family could continue for hundreds of years.

Now that he had a short lifespan, what he wanted most was for his master to form a pill, which had become an obsession in his heart.

If Zhang Zhixuan didn't form a pill, he couldn't let go of this obsession in his heart, and he was unwilling to close his eyes.
