Chapter 549: Second Level of Golden Core

After Zhang Zhixuan exchanged the jade slips of the cultivation method, he immediately returned to Black Mountain and prepared to refine the Biyun Pill to improve his alchemy skills to the fifth-level lower grade as soon as possible.

He had obtained the Biyunzhi for many years, and had collected 80% of the auxiliary spiritual medicines. His cultivation had also been improved to the Jindan stage, and he was somewhat confident of breaking through to the fifth-level alchemist. In addition, he exchanged the experience and insights of the sect's senior cultivators, and his confidence in refining the Biyun Pill was more than 30% to 40%.

The Biyun Pill is a healing elixir in the Jindan stage, which is very useful for treating fire poison.

Compared with ordinary fifth-level elixirs, this high-level elixir with a single effect is slightly cheaper in price, but for the Qingxuan Sect, any fifth-level pill recipe is an extremely precious heritage.

The Qingxuan Sect has been passed down for three thousand years. Counting the old ancestor Jin, it has been passed down for six generations. At the most desolate time, the sect did not even have a Jindan-stage cultivator. It only relied on five or six Zifu cultivators to barely defend Qingyang Mountain. Even the nearby Zhongxuan Mountain fell into the hands of monsters.

It was not until it was passed down to Patriarch Jin that the sect began to grow and develop. Counting Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan, the sect now has five Jindan cultivators, nineteen Zifu cultivators, and even more than four hundred foundation-building cultivators.

Up to now, including the Biyun Dan provided by Zhang Zhixuan, there are only three fifth-level recipes in Qingxuan Sect, one of which comes from Hongshan Sect.

Zhang Zhixuan has studied the recipe of Biyun Dan for ten years, and the preparations for alchemy are very sufficient.

It is best to use a high-level alchemy furnace to refine this high-level elixir. However, the alchemy furnace in Zhang Zhixuan's hand is only a third-level medium-grade one. Even if the entire Qingxuan Sect only has a fourth-level low-grade alchemy furnace, it is not as good as the Blue Bird Bagua furnace left by Patriarch Liang.

It costs 60,000 spirit stones to refine a furnace of Biyun Dan. Such a large investment makes Zhang Zhixuan dare not act rashly. In order to increase the success rate of alchemy, Zhang Zhixuan is ready to go to Qi again to see if he can find a fifth-level alchemy furnace in this Wanbao Conference.

Fifth-level spiritual objects are rare in Yu State, but at the Wanbao Conference, more than a dozen of them can be auctioned every time. Even the more precious spiritual objects such as fifth-level alchemy furnaces and defensive magic tools often appear in the auction.

The Wanbao Conference is jointly held by the six sects of Qi State. Qi State is a behemoth in Nanyazhou second only to Dazhou. There are no less than 20 Yuanying stage cultivators in the entire Qi State.

At the Wanbao Conference, some sixth-level spiritual objects sometimes flow out, attracting Yuanying stage cultivators to scramble for them. I don’t know when Yu State can develop to that level?

There are still five years before the Wanbao Conference. During these five years, Zhang Zhixuan mobilized all the power of Qingxuan Sect and asked the sect’s purple mansion cultivators to go to Song State and Wu State to collect the last few auxiliary spiritual medicines for Biyun Pill.

Although there were many things to do, Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation did not fall behind. Before going to the Wanbao Conference, his cultivation reached the second level of Jindan.

Zhang Zhixuan had been in Jindan for eleven years. He practiced the Pure Yang Treasure Book he created, and his cultivation speed was rapid. In just eleven years, he successfully broke through a barrier, and his speed was not inferior to Qingchan.

The five Jindan of Qingxuan Sect, except for Jin Laozu who was at the seventh level of Jindan, Hu Peiyu, Lu Hongniang, and Qingchan were all at the third level of Jindan. Although Lu Hongniang had practiced for the longest time among the three, unfortunately, her fighting skills were far inferior to Qingchan. Even Hu Peiyu was a little better than her.

Even though Zhang Zhixuan, who had just broken through, was not as powerful as Lu Hongniang, he had a solid foundation, excellent magic tools, and with the help of purple qi magic, his actual combat power was a little better than hers.

Zhang Zhixuan joined the sect, and his power was greatly different from before. Under his promotion, Sihong took on the responsibility of guarding Black Mountain.

Most of the cultivators from the Zhang family who joined the Qingxuan Sect were also assigned to Sihong. Only a small number of young people took the whale-carrying beast ship to return to the sect.

All the disciples and relatives of the Black Mountain Liang Patriarch also joined the Qingxuan Sect this time. After joining the sect, they did not choose to stay in Black Mountain, but returned to Qingyang Mountain to join Wei Bohan and Kang Duhe.

Zhang family's retainers Tang Shaoyang, Mu Yihan and other foundation-building cultivators also benefited from Zhang Zhixuan's help this time and turned from casual cultivators into sect cultivators.

Normally, unless they have made great contributions to the Qingxuan Sect, it is difficult for these casual cultivators from small families to join the sect.

Especially for cultivators who have already established their foundation, the Qingxuan Sect will not recruit them to avoid spies. The sect will only train young people with clean backgrounds.

After making all preparations, Zhang Zhixuan left Hanyan to help Sihong guard Black Mountain, and he and Qingchan rushed to Qi to capture the Dragon Sect.

The Qinlong Sect is now the weakest of the six sects in Qi State. There are only two Yuanying-stage cultivators in the sect, and even the number of Jindan-stage cultivators cannot be compared with the peak stage, with only 26 people.

However, the Qinlong Sect has a strong foundation. When it was at its peak, there were seven Yuanying-stage cultivators, and three supreme elders cultivated to the ninth level of Yuanying. Even in the Great Zhou State, it was the most powerful sect.

After that, the Qinlong Sect was prosperous and then declined, and gradually became a weaker sect among the six sects in Qi State.

However, they have a strong foundation left by the predecessors. If they really want to do everything, they can still burst out with strong combat power, which makes Yunxiao Sect and Wanfa Sect a little cautious.

However, in the past one or two thousand years, the interests of the Qinlong Sect have been eroded a lot, and they are more and more concerned about the benefits of the Wanbao Conference.

Whenever the Qinlong Sect holds the Wanbao Conference, they often take out some precious spiritual objects to attract outsiders.

This time, the Wanbao Conference was held in Jingyun County, which was very close to the mountain gate of the Qinlong Sect. The Yuanying cultivator Gao Zhenren of the Qinlong Sect came down from the mountain a month in advance and issued a cease-fire order, prohibiting any fighting within a radius of 3,000 miles around Jingyun Market.

With this old monster at the fifth level of the Yuanying, the Jingyun County cultivation world became unusually quiet.

Even cultivators who had grudges in the past hid themselves during this period, so as not to be detected by the Yuanying old monster's consciousness during the fight and die.

You should know that the consciousness of the old monster at the fifth level of the Yuanying can already cover a radius of 500 miles. If it is released in a straight line, the distance will be even more amazing.

This is Zhang Zhixuan's third time to participate in the Wanbao Conference. Even though the three times were not in the same place, they already knew the process of the Wanbao Conference very well.

Before the Wanbao Conference was held, Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan came to Jingyun Market. While waiting for the Wanbao Conference to start, they visited the shops and stalls in the market to see if they could gain anything. The first time they came to Qi to participate in the Wanbao Conference, they found a sixth-level magic weapon, the Michen Ding, but this kind of good luck can't follow them every time.

After more than 20 days in Jingyunfang, except for finding a fourth-level low-grade magic weapon and earning a profit of two or three thousand spirit stones, the two of them worked hard again to no avail.
