Chapter 183 Tianyuan Longevity Pill, Back to Lingyun Market

What appeared in Chen Xuan's mind was actually a recipe for a pill called Tianyuan Zengshou Pill.

Tianyuan longevity pill!

A pill specially designed to increase the lifespan of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages.

It is also a very precious ancient elixir recipe.

If Chen Xuan could collect the elixirs needed to refine the Tianyuan Longevity Pill, and rely on the power of the cold pool, he could reach the late stage of foundation building in a short period of time.

In the future, Chen Xuan’s probability of reaching the Jindan stage will greatly increase.

For anyone in the Foundation Establishment Stage, anything that can help one to advance to the Core Formation Stage is extremely tempting.

Soon, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

"The efficacy of the ancient elixir recipe is naturally beyond doubt, but it is extremely difficult to gather all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Tianyuan Longevity Pill."

"If that's the case, I can only settle for the next best thing and replace some of the spiritual medicines in the Tianyuan Zengshou Pill with the existing spiritual medicines."

Chen Xuan thought for a while and felt that this method had a much higher success rate than directly searching for and refining the Tianyuan Longevity Pill.

Even so, improving the elixir recipe is still a very arduous task for any alchemist.

Not only does one need to be familiar with the various medicinal properties of the elixirs needed for alchemy, but one also needs to have extremely high attainments in alchemy.

Chen Xuan's alchemy skills are top-notch in the entire Linhezhou cultivation world.

The only trouble is that he doesn't have a very good grasp of the medicinal properties of various elixirs.

Fortunately, he still had the Qihuang Dan Dian given to him by Wu Zhaomei.

This is an ancient book that only the Nascent Soul stage ancestors in the Divine Medicine Valley are qualified to read.

It was founded by Yao Ding Zhenren of Shen Yao Valley.

Inside, the medicinal properties of various elixirs are explained in great detail.

Chen Xuan had studied the Qihuang Dan Dian in detail before, but had not yet mastered it thoroughly.

This time, Chen Xuan planned to study the Qihuang Dan Dian carefully, and strive to improve his understanding of the medicinal properties of elixirs.

"Haste makes waste. The Qihuang Dan Dian is the painstaking work of Master Yao Ding. It is impossible for me to reach Master Yao Ding's level of familiarity with the properties of elixirs in such a short period of time."

"Fortunately, the dead soul spell in my body has been completely lifted. I have time to slowly comprehend the Qihuang Dan Dian."

"From now on, I will set aside two hours every day to study the Qihuang Dan Dian. For the remaining time, two-thirds will be used for meditation and cultivation, and one-third will be used to handle miscellaneous tasks."

Chen Xuan made a training plan.

Started to work in an orderly manner.

The Qihuang Dan Dian is extremely profound.

Chen Xuan comprehended again and gained new insights.

Through his tireless study, Chen Xuan became more and more familiar with the medicinal properties of various elixirs.

I also have a deeper understanding of how to refine the Tianyuan Longevity Pill.

Just waiting in the Beast Taming Tower, a full hundred years passed.

Only then did Chen Xuan stop.

Wow!

After closing the Qihuang Dan Dian, a hint of clarity emerged from Chen Xuan's eyes.

"Master Yao Ding is indeed a famous alchemist in the Divine Medicine Valley. His understanding of alchemy is far superior to any other alchemist."

"After reading his Qihuang Dan Dian, I have gained my own understanding of refining the Tianyuan Zengshou Dan."

"Among them, the most difficult to find spiritual medicines can be replaced with other spiritual medicines."

"In this way, although the new Tianyuan Zengshou Pill is not as effective as the Tianyuan Zengshou Pill, the difficulty of finding the elixir is greatly reduced."

Chen Xuan thought seriously for a while.

Seal your insights and understandings during this period in a blank jade slip.

He made corresponding adjustments to the recipe of the Tianyuan Zengshou Pill in his hand before putting it away with satisfaction.

During this period of practice, Chen Xuan focused on studying the Qihuang Dan Dian. Although he meditated and practiced on time every day, he consumed a lot of pills.

His realm still remains at the middle stage of foundation building.

Compared with before, Chen Xuan's realm has obviously improved a lot.

"During this period, I have been meditating and practicing in the Beast Taming Tower. I have neglected the improvement of my realm."

"Next, when I refine a new Tianyuan Longevity Pill, I can enter the cold pool to practice and strive for the late stage of foundation building."

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan looked overjoyed.

Late foundation building!

It seems to be only one small realm away from the middle stage of foundation building, but it is the peak that many cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building cannot reach in their lifetime.

If Chen Xuan could break through to the late stage of foundation building, at his current age, he would have every chance to reach the higher stage of Jindan.

"Only when one's cultivation reaches the Jindan stage can one be said to have escaped from the status of an ant in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Even in the Yuling Sect, the status of a Jindan-stage cultivator is not comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator."

Chen Xuan's eyes were full of anticipation.

If one can become a strong person in the Jindan stage, not only will his cultivation and combat effectiveness be greatly improved.

It also means that Chen Xuan’s lifespan can be increased to five hundred years.

Compared to the 200-year lifespan during the foundation-building period, it is a full 300 years longer.

This is extremely tempting to any cultivator.

It is more difficult to reach the Jindan stage than to reach the foundation building stage.

Among ten thousand powerful people who have reached the great perfection stage in the late foundation-building stage, it is already a very high probability that one can break through to the Jindan stage.

Chen Xuan doesn't think that he is the one in ten thousand favored child of destiny.

"Right now, my realm is only the middle stage of foundation building, and I still have a long way to go to the late stage of foundation building."

"I'd better hurry up and deal with the things at hand first."

"Practice must be done step by step, and one must avoid being frivolous and impatient, and avoid being too ambitious."

Chen Xuan reminded himself that he still had no plans to return to Yuling Sect.

It hasn’t been long since Chen Xuan escaped from Qianmai Canyon.

Perhaps, the Yuling Sect and the Yinshi Demon Sect are still in the midst of a great battle.

If Chen Xuan returned to the Yuling Sect now, with his strength and status, he would definitely be sent to carry out extremely dangerous sect missions.

This is not what Chen Xuan, who had just lifted the dead soul curse, wanted to see.

Seek immortality and longevity!

It doesn’t happen overnight, nor is it just about doing things in a hurry!

You need to save your own life first, and then assess the situation.

Chen Xuan thought seriously for a while and decided to come out temporarily and go to Lingyun Market to inquire about the news about the Yuling Sect and the Yinshi Demon Sect.

However, before Chen Xuan left the Beast Taming Tower, an extremely powerful aura suddenly erupted from the cold pool.

"Eh? Has the Golden Sparrow's egg hatched?"

Chen Xuan looked surprised.

The Golden Bird Spirit Swallow was only a third-level demon beast, and it took a long time to hatch successfully in the cold pool.

This incubation time is second only to the Purple Lightning Golden Roc.

Chen Xuan also wanted to know what special changes had taken place in the golden sparrow swallow that had taken so long to hatch.

boom!

A terrifying aura continuously erupted from the cold pool.

Soon, a sparrow-like golden swallow with a dark body flapped its wings nimbly and broke through the surface of the cold pond and rushed out.

The moment it saw Chen Xuan, the golden sparrow chirped softly and landed on Chen Xuan's shoulder affectionately.

Chen Xuan's divine consciousness also fell on the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow.

After a careful inspection, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that the blood in this golden sparrow spirit swallow's body was much richer than that of an ordinary third-level monster.

Although the bloodline of the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow has not mutated.

However, there was an extremely thin aura of an ancient demon beast constantly emanating from the body of the Golden Bird Spirit Swallow, which made Chen Xuan overjoyed.

"This... could it be that the Golden Bird Spirit Swallow has awakened the Nine Nether Bird bloodline in its body?"

Nine Nether Bird!

One of the ancient demon birds.

Although it is small in size, its fighting power is extremely fierce.

As a distant relative of the Nine Nether Bird, the Golden Bird Spirit Swallow should have the blood of the Nine Nether Bird in its body, but it should be extremely thin.

Will not even awaken again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan's golden sparrow spirit swallow was just an ordinary third-level monster. After a long period of incubation in the cold pool, a trace of the Nine Nether Sparrow bloodline awakened.

This is a great joy for any beastmaster.

"I see. That's why I was wondering why this golden sparrow swallow egg took so long to hatch. It turns out it's awakening its ancient bloodline!"

The stronger the blood in the demon bird's body, the stronger its combat power.

There is already a trace of the Nine Nether Bird bloodline in the body of this golden sparrow spirit swallow.

In the future, if Chen Xuan spends more time and focuses on training it, maybe he can really make the Golden Bird Spirit Swallow evolve into the Nine Nether Bird.

If that time really came, Chen Xuan would not necessarily be at a disadvantage if he relied solely on the Golden Sparrow Spirit Swallow to fight against a strong man in the fusion stage.

"Hanchi brings me so many surprises."

Chen Xuan smiled happily.

After playing around with Golden Sparrow Swallow for a while and deepening their relationship, Chen Xuan let Golden Sparrow Swallow continue to practice in the cold pool.

"The newly hatched golden sparrow is still a third-level demon bird. Its realm is only the middle stage of foundation building. After it cultivates in the cold pool for a period of time, it may be able to advance to the late stage of foundation building."

"When the time comes, I will have a powerful helper by my side."

Chen Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

After collecting his things, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the Beast Taming Tower.

When he appeared again, Chen Xuan was already in the cave.

He summoned the four great monsters and asked them in detail about what had happened recently.

After making sure that the cave where he was hiding had not been discovered by anyone, Chen Xuan took the four monsters and quickly rushed towards the outside of the Ziyun Mountains.

……

Three months later, Chen Xuan, who activated the Three Thousand Hidden Spirit Mirrors, returned to Lingyun Market again.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want the green python, turtle and snake skins for refining mid-grade spiritual talismans? One piece costs three hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"

"The Sky-piercing Fire Cloud Talisman is a genuine mid-grade spiritual talisman. A dozen of them only cost three thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

"Top-grade cinnabar, a top-quality material for making talismans. One bottle only costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Walking in Lingyun Market, the familiar hawking sounds made Chen Xuan feel warm.

No matter how cruel the world of immortal cultivators is and how thin human relationships are, only in the market town can one still savour the flavour of life.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Xuan likes to come to Fangshi the most.

Just waiting for Chen Xuan, passing through the bustling crowd.

As I continued walking forward, I was attracted by a burst of crisp hawking sounds.

"Fellow Daoist, a jar of the best Hundred Flowers Wine only costs three hundred low-grade spirit stones. Do you want it?"

Chen Xuan looked normal, but there was a flash of surprise in his heart.

"This... I actually met an old friend here?"
