After watching for a while, Li Yan did not wake up the Snow Mosquito King who was practicing, and left quietly in a happy mood.
The Snow Mosquito King, who was lying on the huge ice seat, knew nothing about this.
If it were in the past, even if its strength was much inferior to Li Yan's, but relying on the induction of the blood pact between the two parties, as long as Li Yan's spiritual consciousness appeared in the "Earth Spot" space, the Snow Mosquito would sense it.
But now its realm is about to break through to the third level of demon beast, but it is unaware of it. Its cultivation is increasing, and Li Yan's strength is becoming more terrifying.
After Li Yan's consciousness returned to his body, he no longer hesitated and went straight into his body to explore.
Although he had roughly checked his physical condition before, due to the appearance of Tianxingzi and Xingming at that time, the matter was rushed and he could only take a quick look.
There are nine stages in foundation building, and five grades of golden elixir, namely: Zhengyi Minglian, Shangqing Xuanlian, Lingbao Tianlian, Jingming Baolian, and Shenxiao Shenglian.
The most common one in the world of immortal cultivation is the Shangqing Xuanlian, followed by the Zhengyi Minglian and Lingbao Tianlian. If a cultivator condenses the Zhengyi Minglian, he will have the weakest cultivation and the worst combat power among the golden elixirs.
The golden elixir condensed by the beautiful woman in green gauze, Zhong Mengyin, whom Li Yan once met, was of the second-grade Shangqing Xuanlian. Its combat power was only mediocre among the golden elixirs, and it was mainly known for its charm.
Li Wuyi's golden elixir level is the third-grade Lingbao Tianlian, which makes him a strong golden elixir cultivator. There may not be one like him among a hundred golden elixir cultivators.
As for Wei Chongran, he had an excellent talent for cultivating immortals, and what he condensed was an extremely rare fourth-grade Pure Bright Lotus, which could easily kill cultivators of the same level.
Li Yan's Dantian is purple, and the former Dantian Lake has expanded dozens of times, shaped like a "sea". The five spiritual power cauldrons above the Dantian Sea have long disappeared, replaced by a suspended lotus throne.
On the lotus throne, a huge lotus is quietly blooming.
Looking at the huge blooming lotus, Li Yan knew that if the entire lotus was composed of a complete petal, then the golden elixir he condensed would be of the first grade - the Zhengyi Minglian.
That is the weakest golden elixir. If the entire lotus is composed of two petals, he would be the most common golden elixir cultivator, a second-grade Shangqing Xuanlian cultivator.
The strongest Jindan cultivator is a blooming lotus composed of five petals - the Divine Holy Lotus.
The final color of the lotus is determined by the attributes of its main spiritual root, whether it is blue, red, yellow, etc. However, when Li Yan saw it for the first time, he was unable to determine the grade of his golden elixir.
Before, inside the deep pit, with a quick sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he saw that the fragments of the five large tripods had just formed the base of the lotus throne, and the lotus on it was in the process of condensing.
But what he saw now was not a blooming black lotus. His main spiritual root was Guishui, so Li Yan would certainly think that it should be so.
But he saw a five-petal lotus. The petals were black, blue, red, yellow and white, and spiritual energy was weaving and shuttling between them like electric arcs.
"The lotus has five petals. This... is this the Divine Heaven Sacred Lotus?"
Li Yan was overjoyed, but the next moment, he was immediately filled with doubts.
"But this is a five-colored lotus. This has never been seen in the classics. All the lotuses on the golden elixir lotus thrones are single-colored. Is this something unique to the Guishui Immortal Sect?"
Li Yan was stunned for just a moment before he made a judgment.
He carefully observed the spiritual power jumping among the five-colored petals, as if he saw the five familiar spiritual power cauldrons.
He has a school but no master, and relies on self-cultivation and exploration for everything. However, based on the skills he practices, this result is easy to guess.
But Li Yan is a cautious person. Although he has made a guess, it does not affect his suspicious character.
Then, Li Yan turned his attention to the center of the huge lotus, where a tiny pale yellow pill was suspended in it, circling around repeatedly.
As it spun rapidly, it continuously sucked in the electric arcs that were weaving through the five-colored petals below.
"All efforts were not in vain, and we succeeded in the end!"
Li Yan murmured to himself, the pale yellow pill was the condensed essence of the Jindan cultivator's life-long hard practice - the golden elixir.
With the golden elixir, Li Yan's soul will become more solid, and his three souls and seven spirits can reside in it from now on. Even if his physical body is destroyed, as long as the golden elixir is not destroyed, he can live forever.
He has stepped into the threshold of a mid-level cultivator.
This is completely different from low-level cultivators. The souls of Qi Condensation and Foundation Building cultivators are just more powerful than ordinary people.
If their physical bodies are destroyed, they can consciously control their souls to fly away, waiting for an opportunity to take over a physical body and be reborn. This is something that ordinary souls without owners cannot do at all.
But no matter whether they are Condensing Qi or Building Foundation, they are all low-level cultivators. If their souls do not have treasures to nourish their bodies, they cannot survive very long alone outside.
The weaker your cultivation, the faster your soul power dissipates.
It can be said that after a cultivator forms a golden elixir, not only will his life span be greatly increased, but he will also be able to travel through the universe even without a physical body.
It’s just that no one is willing to do this. After all, losing the physical body is like a soldier losing his armor. Many magic skills cannot be performed with the help of the physical body.
Although the lifespan remains the same, the strength is greatly reduced. This makes the cultivator feel insecure, and no one would be willing to survive with only the golden elixir.
Five root-like vines hang down from the lotus throne suspended above the Dantian Sea, constantly drawing spiritual power from the Dantian Sea and continuously sending this spiritual power to the five-petal lotus.
The pale yellow pill hovering above is rotating, and colorful light will continuously scatter to the dantian sea below. The boundaries between the upper, middle and lower parts are clear, forming an endless cycle.
Li Yan looked at his Dantian sea. Although he had experience in condensing Qi to build the foundation, he could not imagine that the Dantian purple organ of the golden elixir would be like this.
It was so vast and surging. Thinking that he had been able to fight against a cultivator in the early or middle stage of the Golden Core with the power of the Foundation Establishment, Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and more thoughts of "ignorance is fearlessness" came to his mind.
Although he knew that his Dantian lake was much larger than that of other cultivators of the same level due to his practice of "Guishui Zhenjing", he also thought that the Dantian of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan might not be much larger than his.
But the Dantian Sea of a Golden Elixir is just the Dantian Sea. The Dantian Sea of an ordinary Golden Elixir cannot be compared to a small Dantian Lake when one is in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Now he knew how terrifying the level of spiritual power he cultivated through the Guishui Sutra was. It was not a matter of competing with quantity, but was achieved with a solid foundation.
"I was able to survive the disaster at the hands of Teng Wuji. I was truly blessed by God."
I had tried my best and used all kinds of tricks, but I really looked like a child in front of Teng Wuji, and I could only be a child.
Of course, all this cannot be accomplished by relying solely on the Guishui Sutra. The Qiongqi Purgatory Technique is also one of the top martial arts in the world. Of course, there is also the preciousness of the three drops of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood that he obtained.
"It's a pity that the other pieces of silver paper that were lost from the Beiming Demon Suppression Tower can no longer be gathered together."
When thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel regretful. After observing his dantian for a while, his spiritual consciousness withdrew.
Then, a breath of energy flowed through his body, and his muscles expanded greatly in an instant, while several whirlpools appeared on his skin and moved rapidly across his body surface.
There was a qualitative luster on the dark skin, which made Li Yan feel detached from the world for a moment.
"The Qiongqi Purgatory Technique was also promoted to the third level this time, but the formula also ends here."
Li Yan felt powerful forces in his body and thought with some regret that fortunately the mantra given by Gong Chenying could at least allow him to practice to the peak of the third level of Qiongqi Purgatory Technique.
"I don't know when I can return to the Desolate Moon Continent to see Ah Ying!"
Li Yan immediately came to mind and raised one hand, staring quietly at his palm, then he put his five fingers together and clenched them hard.
"Bang!" The sound of air explosion was heard as he clenched his fist.
Then, as Li Yan was staring, a space distortion appeared around his fist, giving people a sense of unreality.
The next moment, Li Yan threw a punch forward.
"boom!"
A ball of energy visible to the naked eye flew out of the fist, and the next moment, it hit the wall more than ten feet away with incredible speed.
Li Yan's entire cave was shaking violently, and lights of various colors burst out. This scene surprised Li Yan.
He only used 30% to 40% of his strength just now.
Although there was a "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" inside his cave and the cave itself was protected by some impressive formations and restrictions outside, it still felt like it was about to be broken.
After Li Yan hesitated for a moment, he pointed his fingers like swords and gently pointed forward again.
With a "hiss", a purple light curtain dozens of feet away flashed and made a "buzzing" sound, which was much smaller than before.
"The first attack just now was not entirely powered by the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique. It also contained the power of the Immortal Phoenix's blood essence. The second attack was only powered by the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, so its power was several times smaller."
Li Yan thought and compared.
He had seen Gong Chenying take action in Fengliang Mountain. At that time, she had also practiced the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique to the third level. Li Yan could judge how much strength she had used based on the different strength of her attacks.
After thinking for a while, Li Yan thought that if compared, judging from the power of his second attack just now, the power of Gong Chenying's Qiongqi Purgatory Technique should be 30% to 40% less than his own.
“The reason why there is such a big difference is that, although I have blocked the power of the Immortal Phoenix’s blood essence, I cannot do so completely. After all, it has penetrated deep into my flesh and blood, and I can only consciously dispel it.
Moreover, the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique performed in different realms is completely different. The body of a Jindan cultivator has already been cleansed of marrow and punished by the heavenly calamity, which has a bonus effect.
If Ah Ying has also reached the Dan stage, then the gap will be shortened to 10-20%. This shows how powerful Qiongqi Purgatory is. I must get the subsequent practice formula for this technique."
Li Yan carefully felt the power in his body and was even more eager to obtain the complete practice method of the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique. This was too important to him as he was used to standing on the shoulders of cultivators of the same level.
Li Yan felt that if he faced a master like Teng Wuji again, he would be able to beat him to pieces with just his physical strength.
This time it was not the inner swell brought about by his recent promotion, but he really had this kind of confidence.
Li Yan subconsciously compared himself to Teng Wuji again. This was almost his subconscious behavior every time he advanced. He was almost sick.
He was unaware of this, and there is no other explanation for this except that he was vindictive.
It is estimated that only after he breaks through the middle stage of the Golden Core in the future, Teng Wuji will no longer be on his mind, and only then will he stop thinking about this person.
After feeling the immense power in his body again, Li Yan felt extremely satisfied.
After slowly calming the surging power in his body, Li Yan once again placed his spiritual consciousness on his chest, where the fragmented poisonous body was spreading and branching out.
When he was in the Qi Condensation Stage, twelve pieces were separated from his lower abdomen. When he successfully established his foundation, they were separated into thirty pieces and had already expanded to the chest.
And now that Li Yan's golden elixir has reached perfection, he is even more full of expectations. The disintegrated poisonous body is his last means of survival and also his strongest means.
