Chapter 68: Impacting Golden Elixir
Impact Golden Elixir
"With the power of the mind, the infinite yuan energy is compressed into a ball, and due to the increase in density, it forms a golden light shining dan. The amount of yuan energy that the golden dan can hold is many times higher than the realm of the spell, and how much depends on the quality of the golden dan." Zhou Yuan looked at the method formed by the symbols in the scripture, while analyzing the origin of the golden dan realm with unparalleled clarity.
"My current yuan force is now sufficient, and I should be able to break through the Golden Elixir realm. However, in this Tongtian City, there are many powerful experts, and if I were to break through the realm here, a large amount of elemental energy would definitely be released, which would attract strong enemies and put me in danger. This place is not suitable for me to break through the realm. It's better to go outside Tongtian City and find a quiet place to make my breakthrough." Zhou Yuan had already made up his mind after some brief consideration.
He was originally going to say something to Qin Mingyue, but seeing that her door was tightly closed, he thought she was also eager to practice, just like himself. However, his sudden transition from the Golden Elixir realm to the Killing Life realm was much more difficult and required him to pass through a trial, which was not convenient in Tongtian City.
Legend has it that when a sudden killing calamity occurs, the Heavenly Laws will descend with tribulations to prevent the breakthrough of magic. At that time, various elemental tribulations will fall from the sky. But once the breakthrough is successful, the body of this mage will gain an additional layer of tribulation power. The spells cast by the mage will be even more destructive than before, and their strength will increase several times over.
However, the boundary of killing life is very dangerous to break through. If there is no master's protection, it is likely that one will be buried in the midst of disaster. Generally, a Jindan realm cultivator would not dare to charge at the boundary of killing life without the assistance of a superior.
"When I suddenly reached the Golden Elixir realm, at that time, according to the Dan Wang Xin Jing's records, it is possible to refine a kind of elixir that can help Qin Mingyue break through to the Killing Life Tribulation realm, which can also be considered as compensation for him. Zhou Yuan knew that although Huo Yuanjing was nominally his own, in the battle against Heishui Wangshe, Qin Mingyue made the greatest effort, and in the end, he could only be considered to have taken advantage of a great opportunity."
Moreover, the Huoyuan Crystal should have belonged to Qin Mingyue for the most part, but in this auction, what Qin Mingyue gained was far less than herself. The Breakthrough Heart Method of the Killing Life Boundary, although precious, is worth much less. For a strong person who has broken through the Killing Life Boundary, it's not even worth a single coin, and can be easily written out, as many copies as one wants to write.
Compared with Zhou Yuan's ninety-nine talismans and elixir condensation method, it is pitifully worthless.
Zhou Yuan had already decided that after suddenly reaching the Golden Core realm, he would have enough strength to refine a Dan medicine called Duò Níng Shén Dān. After taking it, his strength could be increased threefold in a short period of time. At that time, Qin Mingyue would also have a greater chance of passing through the Killing Life Calamity and successfully breaking through.
Hiss...
Out of Tongtian City, Zhou Yuan's footsteps were like flying, and with one step, he traversed tens or even hundreds of meters. He deliberately chose the most difficult path to walk on, in order to reach the most remote place, where there was no human habitation. Only then would it be safer for Zhou Yuan to break through his boundary.
After walking for a whole hour, Zhou Yuan finally arrived at an area dense with forests. Here, even the birdsong was scarce, let alone human presence. The mist rising from the surroundings made it difficult to see more than ten meters ahead, making it hard for others to discover him. This place was ideal for breaking through the Golden Core realm.
After searching around, he found no abnormalities and began preparing to break through the boundary. He first condensed all his yuan force and continuously absorbed thunder yuan from the outside world.
Gradually, his yuan force reached a state of saturation, but he didn't stop there. Instead, using his spiritual power, he continued to compress and condense all the yuan force inside his body.
"Ugh...………." The cost of forcibly condensing his yuan power was intense pain. As soon as Zhou Yuan compressed the yuan power in his body, he felt an overwhelming surge of agony wash over him. The sudden pain made him feel like he was going to pass out, but fortunately, Zhou Yuan's willpower was strong enough for him to endure it.
His forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as beans, rolling down continuously, his teeth clenched tightly, obviously enduring great pain.
"This Golden Elixir realm is truly agonizing, on one hand I need to highly concentrate my spiritual energy to condense the Golden Elixir, and on the other hand it's so painful. Under such high concentration of spiritual energy, the pain has been magnified countless times!" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel miserable in his heart.
As time passed, the yuan force in Zhou Yuan's body finally showed signs of condensation, but he couldn't let his guard down. If he relaxed even slightly, the yuan force that had just been condensed would lose its restraint and scatter again. At that point, all of Zhou Yuan's efforts would be for naught. Moreover, if the yuan force suddenly scattered, it could easily shock and injure the heart meridian, which was extremely dangerous.
Zhou Yuan's mental strength was increasing bit by bit, with a flavor of being boiled like a frog in warm water.
Gradually, as the spiritual power continued to increase, the yuan force in Zhou Yuan's body finally condensed at the Tianmen point on his head, forming a sphere that slowly rotated.
This is just the first step in forming the Golden Elixir, which is not a bright golden color but rather milky white and thick with Original Energy. At this stage it is called the "False Elixir" and is not yet the true Golden Elixir state.
Zhou Yuan had read about the ninety-nine character talismanic method of forming a dan, so he naturally knew what was going on and wasn't in a hurry. He just increased his yuan power output bit by bit.
The golden elixir gradually began to transform into a golden yellow color, with flashes of golden light emanating from it. Zhou Yuan's heart was filled with great joy, as it seemed that he would be able to break through to the Golden Elixir realm today.
From the beginning to now, Zhou Yuan has felt very smooth, but he also understands that this is just the beginning. Whether or not it can condense into a Golden Elixir still depends on the subsequent symbol sealing. He needs to print the 99 symbols one by one under the Golden Elixir, pressing it down and forming a kind of restrictive force. Otherwise, if Zhou Yuan's spirit relaxes even slightly, this illusory elixir will scatter again, transforming into yuan energy, and his previous efforts will be wasted.
"Seal!!!" Zhou Yuan saw that the timing was ripe, and immediately used the method recorded in the scripture to carve his spiritual power into a series of talismans, striking them onto the surface of the Golden Elixir.
Every time a rune is struck, it is imprinted on the golden elixir, and Zhou Yuan can feel that the golden elixir is gradually becoming calm, gentle, and peaceful from its violent state, obviously, the golden elixir is being continuously sealed.
However, as the talismans increased in number, Zhou Yuan felt the pressure growing. The first sixty or so talismans had been easy to inscribe on the surface of the Golden Core, but from the sixtieth onwards, Zhou Yuan suddenly found himself struggling. Clearly, his spiritual strength had begun to weaken after the consumption of the previous sixty talismans. He wondered if he could hold on until the ninety-ninth talisman, and this time, he really didn't have much confidence left.
He also knew that the last talisman, the spiritual power required was the strongest. At that time, whether he could succeed or not was still a mystery. Zhou Yuan's heart was bitter and unbearable. Judging from the current situation, it was already unimaginable to reach 80 talismans, let alone 99 talismans.
Moreover, the talismans of the first set of Congdan's method are all different. Once started, unless the entire set of methods is fully deployed and all the talismans are imprinted on the Golden Elixir, otherwise, if it fails, the previous talismans will not be able to coordinate and will conflict with each other, eventually leading to the explosion of the Golden Elixir, and the master will also be blown to pieces.
