Chapter 73 Cultivation of the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture"
Chapter 73 Cultivation of the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture"
"Who can argue with that?"
Zhang Lingyue sighed and began to explain the specific mission she had come to Tianliu City:
"Besides hoping to run into you, the second reason I came here is that some of the descendants of the Golden Core elders from our sect have come to train and hired us as guards. Each of us was given two thousand spirit stones."
"Two thousand spirit stones? That's incredibly extravagant."
Zhang Lingyu was somewhat surprised, not expecting these descendants of Golden Core cultivators to be so wealthy.
"That's right. There are also three Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying us on this trip, and each of them gave us five thousand spirit stones."
When this was mentioned, Zhang Lingxiao also joked to himself:
Even if we've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, sometimes we still have to bow and speak to the descendants of Golden Core cultivators. There's nothing we can do about it; their elders are Golden Core cultivators, after all.
"Even without powerful connections, you have to fawn over them like a lapdog."
As he spoke, he slammed his hand on the table again, almost breaking it.
"Alright, that's enough. They have powerful connections, and besides, we're just doing this for money..."
Those who can receive this mission are cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining or at its peak; ordinary people can't even get involved.
Zhang Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore. What he said was true, but it would be bad if it got back to others. They might not even know how they died.
"What, you've had too much to drink and you can't even vent your frustrations?"
Zhang Lingxiao's face was flushed. He had just drunk three jars of wine and was already a little tipsy. At the same time, he still urged:
"Anyway, there are no outsiders here, Nineteenth Brother, don't you agree?"
"Drink up! Don't listen to your cousin. Today, we brothers won't leave until we're drunk."
"Come on, drink!"
......
After a few rounds of drinks, all three of them were a little drunk, but cultivators are not ordinary people, and they can use their magic power to remove the effects of the alcohol.
But now that the three of them have finally managed to get together, each of them is filled with immense bitterness and sorrow, so they deliberately let themselves get drunk for a while.
As evening approached, Zhang Lingxiao and his companion were to return to their sect's headquarters. They would be setting off for the Wanling Mountains in five days, and they needed to make some more preparations.
Before leaving, Zhang Lingyue suddenly remembered something and quickly instructed:
"Nineteenth brother, there will be a lecture by a Golden Core cultivator at Tianliu Square in three days. Don't forget to attend."
"We only found out about this when we arrived today. It hasn't spread yet. This kind of thing is rare, so we can't miss it."
"Does the Golden Elixir preach the Dao?"
Zhang Lingyu immediately became interested after hearing this. Having been in Tianliu City for so many years, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. He nodded and smiled.
"Thank you, elder sister. Lingyu will definitely go in three days."
"Okay, we'll head back now. Just send a message if you need anything."
After the two left, Zhang Lingyu also headed towards his residence.
-----------------
As night deepened, the sky turned as black as ink, with only a cold moon hanging high, casting its cool, watery moonlight.
Zhang Lingyu sat cross-legged on a jade platform in the courtyard. This was a cold jade futon that he had specially purchased, which could help cultivators calm their minds and concentrate their spirits.
He made hand seals, and as his cultivation technique circulated, wisps of silvery-white moonlight fell from the sky, enveloping him like a light veil.
The moonlight, solidified as a substance, slowly seeped into his Baihui acupoint on the top of his head under the guidance of the Lingxuan Nourishing Soul Scripture, flowing into his sea of consciousness like a trickle.
It was as if an invisible hammer was repeatedly forging his soul.
Only after the cold moon sank and the morning sun rose did he slowly withdraw from his cultivation.
After a night of cultivation, his soul had become much more solid, which was equivalent to a month of hard work.
"Truly worthy of being a legacy left behind by someone who ascended to the upper realm!"
He has already achieved such great results at the very beginning of his cultivation. According to the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture", once the cultivation method is completed to a minor degree, even if his cultivation level is still at the Qi Refining stage, his spiritual sense will be no different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A cultivator who has reached the Great Completion or even Perfection stage is comparable to, or even far surpasses, a cultivator in the early Golden Core stage!
Zhang Lingyu praised it, but this technique requires the absorption of moonlight and the use of many spiritual objects and pills to progress rapidly, and it is quite slow now.
Fortunately, the jade slip contained many recipes and lists of spiritual items for this type of pill, so you just need to find and refine them according to the records.
This shows how much care Tianji Sanren takes for his successors.
They were practically ready to put the magical pills in their mouths!
Zhang Lingyu pondered for a moment. He remembered that there was a second-tier pill in the inheritance called Jade Toad Pill, which was suitable for the beginning of cultivation. He could try to refine and take it.
This elixir is only of the second-grade low quality, which he can refine himself without needing to find someone else.
Furthermore, seeking out others to refine the elixir risks revealing the formula, so it's best not to do so lightly.
So he put away the prayer mat and went inside.
......
"Silver Radiance Grass, Moon Spirit Mushroom, Moon Jade Elixir..."
All the spiritual items used to refine the Jade Toad Pill are related to moonlight. Fortunately, these first and second-tier spiritual items are easy to buy in Tianliu City, with each one costing around 400 spirit stones.
In addition, there are several auxiliary medicines, such as cold marrow powder and star sand, all of which have been ground into powder and packaged in jade dishes.
With a flick of his finger, Zhang Lingyu ignited a wisp of purple flame from the bottom of the furnace. This flame was the Purple Yang Fire he had condensed through his cultivation of the Purple Yang Secret Manual.
Low-level pills don't have many requirements for flames, but there are also spiritual flames in the world that are quite beneficial to alchemy.
The formation of spiritual fire has extremely demanding environmental requirements. Even a Nascent Soul sect probably possesses no more than a handful of spiritual fires.
"go!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he sent the Silver Glow Grass into the furnace. The flames surged, and the grass instantly transformed into a pool of silver liquid, which floated inside the furnace.
Next came the Moon Lingzhi, which, the instant it entered the furnace, melted into a milky white halo, blending with the juice of the Silver Glow Grass.
Zhang Lingyu dared not be careless. He probed the furnace with his divine sense and guided the two liquids to rotate slowly. Once they were completely mixed, he suddenly slammed open the Cold Jade Bottle, and the Moon Jade Liquid shot into the furnace like silver threads.
"laugh--"
A cloud of icy mist suddenly rose from inside the furnace, and the faint image of a jade toad could be seen leaping within the mist.
The flames at the bottom of the furnace flickered, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
An hour later, the alchemy furnace suddenly trembled violently. Zhang Lingyu's face lit up with joy, and he slammed the furnace lid shut.
The moment the furnace lid was lifted, five pills the size of longan flew out, and the jade box filled it with them.
Zhang Lingyu picked up one of the pills. The pill was carved from white jade, with natural toad patterns on its surface. As the halos around the pill swirled, it seemed as if moonlight was flowing inside.
"As expected of a Foundation Establishment Pill Furnace, it's truly exceptional!"
The boy's face was full of joy. In the past, the success rate of refining second-tier pills was only two to three, and the purity was not very high.
Now that we have this alchemy furnace, the assistance is truly extraordinary.
"Okay, let's take a break and continue."
Taking advantage of his good condition, Zhang Lingyu planned to refine a few more batches of pills in case of emergency.
