When forming the elixir, one needs to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It is beneficial to reach the elixir forming stage in a place with abundant spiritual energy. The spiritual vein in Huludao is of the second-grade upper grade, and the spiritual energy is not abundant.
If the spiritual vein cannot provide sufficient spiritual energy, you can also set up a formation to increase the abundance of spiritual energy. Many independent cultivators use formations to increase the richness of spiritual energy.
"The clan leader is trying to reach the Jindan stage. Daobin, Changming, follow me and help the clan leader."
Han Daojing forced himself to suppress his excitement and took out five silver-white nine-angle array plates. There were nine grooves of the same size on the surface of the array plates, which were used to place medium-grade spirit stones.
Han Daojing set up the Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Formation at Han Zhangxiang's residence. This is a second-level formation that can gather spiritual energy within a radius of thirty miles to Han Zhangxiang's residence and help him reach the Jindan stage.
Han Changming and six others flew towards Han Zhangxiang's residence, and Han Changying, Han Changlu and Han Changxin followed one after another.
The nine of them dispersed and spread out to the nine centers of the formation, injecting spells into the formation.
The ground shook violently, as if there was an earthquake, and strong winds blew. With Han Zhangxiang's residence as the center, the spiritual energy within a radius of thirty miles seemed to be guided by something and rushed towards Han Zhangxiang's residence, gathering into a huge cloud of spiritual energy.
A small courtyard with green tiles, a three-story red attic, and in the basement, Han Zhangxiang was sitting cross-legged on a red cushion. A large number of fire-attribute array patterns were engraved on the stone walls, emitting a wave of heat.
Han Zhangxiang practiced a fire-attributed technique. He was a second-rank upper-grade weapon refiner and his life span was running out. If he failed to form the elixir, he would not have a second chance to reach the elixir stage.
In front of Han Zhangxiang was an exquisite white jade bottle and a beautiful green jade box, which contained the golden elixir and jade liquid and the Poria cocos fruit respectively.
He opened the jade box, took out the Fu Jin fruit, and started eating it.
If the Fu Jin fruit could be refined into a third-level pill, the effect would be even better. However, the Han family does not have a third-level alchemist, so they can only take it raw, and the medicinal power is somewhat reduced.
Not long after, Han Zhangxiang ate up the Fu Jin fruit, even the core. He didn't dare to waste it. This was a magical fruit that could help in the process of forming an elixir. Others couldn't even hope to get it.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Zhangxiang clearly felt a huge amount of spiritual energy rising in his abdomen and flowing along his meridians. He felt warm all over, as if soaking in a hot spring, and he had an illusion of being in ecstasy.
After a cup of tea, Han Zhangxiang suddenly felt extremely cold all over, as if he was in an ice cellar, and his body could not help but tremble.
At Han Zhangxiang's dantian, the liquefied spiritual energy gathered into a small vortex.
Under Han Zhangxiang's guidance, the vortex began to rotate, getting faster and faster and smaller and smaller.
The spiritual energy within a radius of thirty miles seemed to be guided by something and rushed towards Han Zhangxiang.
A large amount of spiritual energy poured into Han Zhangxiang's body, and Han Zhangxiang's body expanded rapidly, like a huge meat ball. The spiritual energy vortex was spinning faster and faster, and becoming more and more viscous.
An hour later, the vortex of spiritual energy was the size of a fist, and its rotation slowed down, as if it would stop at any time.
Han Zhangxiang had read the classics on how to reach the Jindan stage, and he knew very well that if the vortex of spiritual energy stopped rotating, it meant that he had failed in his attempt to reach the Jindan stage.
The spiritual vein of Huludao is only of the second-grade upper grade. Even with the Nine Palaces Spirit Gathering Array, it is of limited help to him. At this time, he needs external assistance.
He picked up the white jade bottle and poured the golden elixir and jade liquid inside into his mouth, without leaving a single drop.
Soon, a huge amount of spiritual energy poured into the spiritual energy vortex, as if it had given the spiritual energy vortex a shot of chicken blood. The spiritual energy vortex spun rapidly and slowly turned into a light red sphere. However, the surface of the sphere was covered with cracks, and it was obviously unstable and could disperse at any time.
Han Zhangxiang practiced his skills, controlling the magic power in his body to flow towards the red sphere in his dantian.
Generally speaking, the purer the magic power, the easier it is to form a pill.
The golden elixir jade liquid turned into a huge spiritual energy. Under the guidance of Han Zhangxiang, this spiritual energy rushed towards the red sphere.
The red sphere was like a sponge, absorbing the influx of spiritual energy. The cracks on the surface of the red sphere gradually healed, the number of cracks became fewer and fewer, the volume of the red sphere became smaller and smaller, and the rotation speed became faster and faster.
Han Zhangxiang did not dare to be careless. Once he completed the magic formula, red light shone all over his body. A large amount of spiritual energy surged in from all directions and rushed into his body through his mouth and nose. His body swelled up rapidly and his surface was covered by a red glow.
Han Changming and nine others stood at the center of the formation, and everyone had a worried expression on their face.
The spirit stone placed on the array plate quickly turned grayish white, which was the effect of the spiritual energy being drained away.
The Nine Palaces Spirit Gathering Array was used to drain the spiritual energy from the mid-grade spirit stones and artificially create an area with abundant spiritual energy. Even with the help of nine foundation-building monks, it was still not enough.
There is a spiritual energy vortex in the sky that is more than ten feet in size. The spiritual energy vortex has been unable to fall down. This is because the spiritual energy is not abundant enough. If Han Zhangxiang sits idle, it is very likely that he will fail to form the elixir.
There was no one else around Han Changming. He looked around, took out the spirit gathering stone, placed it in a groove, and entered a spell.
Soon, the vortex of spiritual energy rolled violently and suddenly became larger.
Han Changming took a mid-grade Huiling Pill, and his dried up magic power recovered quickly. The magic power in his body poured into the formation plate like a tide, and the formation plate burst into a dazzling spiritual light.
"Success or failure depends on this move, so let's work harder."
Han Changming released the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect and let it fly towards Han Daojing and others holding a porcelain bottle containing a mid-grade Huiling Pill.
Han Daojing and the others looked pale. They had taken inferior soul-recovering pills, but their magic power recovered slowly, and was not enough for the formation to absorb. They felt better after taking the mid-grade soul-recovering pills.
"Try harder. Success or failure depends on this. For the sake of the family, we must fight for it."
Han Daojing shouted loudly, and his magic power poured into the formation frantically.
The nine of them were like a mobile spiritual energy machine, providing mana to the formation plate, transforming it into spiritual energy to help Han Zhangxiang form the elixir.
"For the sake of the family, I will fight for it."
When Han Changying and the others heard Han Daojing's call, they were shocked and injected their magic power into the formation plate frantically.
The spiritual energy vortex suddenly grew in size. In less than three breaths, it had expanded to over a hundred feet in size.
Han Changming's face was pale, as if he had consumed too much magic power, and the spirit gathering stone slowly turned grayish white.
He took out three middle-grade Huiling Pills and put them into his mouth. Soon, his pale face quickly regained its rosy color, but not long after, his face turned pale again.
Han Changming's face quickly turned pale, then quickly regained its rosy color, then turned pale again, over and over again. As a result of this, some of his tiny meridians were torn apart. Now was the critical moment for Han Zhangxiang to form the elixir, and he dared not be careless.
The spiritual energy vortex grew to a size of three hundred feet. Under the gaze of everyone, the spiritual energy vortex slowly fell and sank into Han Zhangxiang's residence.
In the secret room, Han Zhangxiang was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, his body swollen into a huge ball. There was a red ball the size of an egg in his dantian. If you look closely, you can find that the red ball has six light silver spots, emitting bursts of dazzling halos.
The quality of the golden elixir formed by Jindan cultivators varies. Generally speaking, the quality of the golden elixir is divided into four grades: low, medium, high and extreme. The higher the quality of the golden elixir, the greater the benefit to future cultivation and the easier it is to form an infant. In simple terms, the grade of the golden elixir represents the probability of forming a elixir in the future and is related to the future path.
Three orifices are the lower grade golden elixir, six orifices are the middle grade, nine orifices are the upper grade, and twelve orifices are the highest grade golden elixir.
The quality of the golden elixir is related to the cultivator's mana, consciousness and auxiliary spiritual objects. Some of the cultivators who have been carefully trained by the major sects can even produce top-quality golden elixirs with twelve orifices.
In such a barren place as the Red Algae Sea, it was considered quite good that Han Zhangxiang could produce a mid-grade golden elixir.
With a "puff" sound, a wisp of red flame emerged out of nowhere and wrapped around the golden elixir.
Pure Yang Dan Fire!
When a cultivator enters the foundation-building stage, innate true fire will be produced in his dantian. When he enters the elixir-forming stage, pure yang elixir fire will be produced. The elixir fire will wrap around the golden elixir and continuously nourish it.
A chill quickly flowed through Han Zhangxiang's body, and a layer of gray substance was discharged from his pores. This was the golden elixir he formed, cleansing his tendons and marrow and expelling impurities from his body.
He didn't bother to wipe off the impurities on his body. There are two stages in forming the golden elixir. The first stage is to form the golden elixir, and the second stage is the thunder tribulation.
Boom!
A deafening thunder came from the sky, and a huge dark cloud appeared over Huludao.
A terrifying gale suddenly blew up on Huludao, turning the spiritual energy of the island into a mess. Bursts of earth-shaking thunder came from the dark clouds. Countless silver lightning snakes flashed and appeared like a tide, running and dancing wildly as if it was the end of the world, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
Han Changming looked at the thunderclouds high in the sky, and a blush appeared on his pale cheeks.
Han Zhangxiang has already formed a golden elixir. As long as he can survive the thunder tribulation, he will be able to become a true Jindan cultivator.
He prayed in his heart that the clan leader must succeed in forming the elixir, as this was related to the future development of the Han family.
The Red Algae Sea is now in chaos, with the five major forces at war. The Han family has been dragged into this war and may even be wiped out.
The Fire Cloud Sect attacked, and the Han family had already lost dozens of Qi Refining cultivators.
If Han Zhangxiang advances to the Jindan stage, even if he cannot get a share of the pie, he can still protect himself.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening thunder, silver arcs of electricity flashed out from the thunderclouds and struck Han Zhangxiang's residence.
After a loud bang, the red attic caught fire and broke into pieces. Han Zhangxiang sat cross-legged on the mat with a solemn expression.
After passing this level, he will become a Jindan cultivator. For the sake of his own path and his family, he must give it a try.
He took out a formation plate and entered several spells.
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and countless white mist emerged, covering Han Zhangxiang.
The Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Formation, this formation was obtained from Mu Linger.
Silver arcs of electricity flew out of the thunderclouds, sank into the white sea of fog, and suddenly exploded. However, the white sea of fog became thicker and thicker, covering an area of several acres in radius.
As time passed, more and more silver lightning sank into the white fog sea, and the white fog sea became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than half a minute, the white sea of fog disappeared, and a khaki light curtain emerged, covering Han Zhangxiang.
Han Changming and nine other people gathered on a high peak. Not far away was Han Zhangxiang's residence. Han Zhangxiang had to rely on himself to get through this level of thunder tribulation.
The nine of them said nothing, but all of them showed worry in their eyes.
After a cup of tea, the thundercloud was still over a hundred feet in size. Han Zhangxiang's residence became a ruin, with flames shooting into the sky. In the midst of a pile of rocks, there was a ball of red flame several feet in size.
Han Zhangxiang's face was pale, with broken formation plates and flags scattered around him, and he held a red gourd the size of a palm in his hand.
Boom!
After a deafening thunder, the thunderclouds rolled violently, and a large silver electric arc as thick as a bowl surged out, turning into a silver thunder python over ten feet long, which pounced on Han Zhangxiang below.
Seeing this scene, Han Changming and others' hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
Han Zhangxiang's face condensed, and the red gourd in his hand burst into a dazzling red light. A large red flame emerged and turned into a red fire python over ten feet long, which attacked the silver thunder python.
Boom!
The silver thunder python and the red fire python collided with each other and bit each other. The red flames and the silver lightning intertwined.
In less than ten breaths, the red fire python was torn to pieces by the silver thunder python. The silver thunder python came in front of Han Zhangxiang, opened its bloody mouth and bit Han Zhangxiang.
There was a loud whistling sound, and a dozen red round beads flew out of the red gourd and hit the silver thunder python.
The silver thunder python suddenly exploded and turned into a silver sun with a diameter of one hundred feet, covering a large area. The powerful air waves lifted up a large number of huge rocks, which then fell heavily, raising dust and billowing smoke.
After three breaths, the thunderclouds disappeared and the sky became clear again.
Han Changming and nine other people flew towards Han Zhangxiang's residence in their flying vehicles. Before they landed, a burst of joyful laughter came from the smoke and dust.
A gust of wind blew, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing Han Zhangxiang's figure.
Han Zhangxiang's whole body was wrapped by dozens of thick green gourd vines, like a meat dumpling, and some charred gourd vines were scattered on the ground.
As he retracted his magic spell, the green gourd vine dissipated and turned into a piece of armor that glowed with green light. There was a pattern of a green gourd vine on the surface of the armor.
Han Changming was slightly stunned. It was the first time he saw this kind of defensive magic weapon.
"Congratulations, clan leader, the golden elixir has been completed."
Han Changming and nine other people bowed to Han Zhangxiang and spoke in unison, with excitement on everyone's face.
Han Zhangxiang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over Han Changming and the other nine, and said with a smile: "This time it is thanks to your help, otherwise I might not be able to advance to the Jindan stage, thank you for your hard work."
He knew very well that he could not form the elixir without the help of his clansmen.
Han Changming and the other nine looked pale, as if they had exhausted too much of their magic power.
"You are too polite, Patriarch. This is what we should do. Our Han family has a Jindan cultivator again."
Han Daojing said excitedly.
"again?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. Was there a Jindan cultivator among the Han family’s ancestors
"You have all worked hard. I have just reached the Dan stage and need to practice in seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. The family is in your hands."
After Han Zhangxiang said this, he turned into a long red rainbow and flew away into the air.
Flying in the sky is the symbol of a Jindan cultivator.
Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators need to cast spells or use magical instruments to fly in the air, but Jindan cultivators do not need the aid of magical instruments or spells to fly in the air.
"You all should go back and rest! By the way, no one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."
Han Daojing warned in a serious tone that Han Zhangxiang had just formed his elixir and was unable to form combat power, so the news needed to be kept secret. It would not be too late to announce it to the public after a period of time.
