After this advancement, the body shape of Bingfengmang did not change much, only the color of its scales became more vibrant.

  Not only are the scales on its back a vibrant green, but those on its abdomen also have a crystal clear white jade-like appearance.

  In addition, on top of the Ice Wind Wyrm's skull, a new protrusion about an inch in size has grown, resembling a horn bud but softer.

  However, under Zhao Di's test, this spiritual beast did not obtain any additional divine secret techniques after this advancement.

  The ice attribute magic that Bingfengmang can cast is still able to spew out a cold air with one mouth, but at this time the cold air it spews out has increased its power and range of coverage by several points, and can also be mixed with many ice cones of different sizes, adding a few more points of power.

  As for the wind attribute spell, apart from being able to release multiple wind blades at the same time, it's also quite fast in terms of flight speed. Although he hasn't tested it outside the cave, in Zhao Di's opinion, its speed is not inferior to his full-force use of Treading Wind Python, and in terms of short-range agility and maneuverability, it can be even more flexible and varied, winning out by a large margin.

  Apart from this, the Ice Wind Python seemed to have no other means of assistance, and its ability to help Zhao Di was limited. However, Zhao Di didn't mind, as he had enough patience with his spiritual beast. For now, he handed over the four-level Huizong Dan that he had cultivated in the small cauldron to the Ice Wind Python, instructing it to swallow one every so often.

  Then he himself walked into the quiet room, and after three days of contemplation, Zhao Di's mental state, magical powers, and divine consciousness were all at their peak, finally beginning to impact the bottleneck of the Dan furnace!

  He set up a small "Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array" in the quiet room, which is a high-level auxiliary formation array that comes with a hefty price tag. The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array, as its name suggests, can gather a certain amount of five-element spiritual energy and has the effect of gathering part of the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy within several miles into the formation array. This is one of the common auxiliary means used by high-level cultivators to break through bottlenecks. After all, the higher the density of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy in the surrounding environment, the greater the help during breakthrough.

  Moreover, when impacting the Dan Tian bottle neck, the most crucial step is to borrow the surrounding weather Ling Qi to infuse the body. It is necessary to replenish a large amount of Ling power into the Dan Tian that has been emptied due to the solidification of the True Yuan within a short period, in order to consolidate the cultivation realm and prevent the True Yuan from dissipating due to insufficient Ling power, causing a relapse into the foundation-building phase.

  In order to further enhance the power of the magic array, he extravagantly used five high-level spirit stones of each attribute to set up this magic array, making its power even more powerful!

  Zhao sat down with his knees bent, took out the transparent and jade-like Qixin Dan from his storage bag, which had a sweet and fragrant medicinal scent. However, compared to when Yun Mengli gave it to him, this dan's spiritual energy was even more abundant. He swallowed the Qixin Dan into his abdomen and slowly refined it.

  As soon as the Qixin Dan entered his abdomen, it immediately dissolved and disappeared. Zhao Di only felt a refreshing spiritual energy permeating the eight extraordinary meridians, making his whole body feel light and comfortable, with an indescribable sense of well-being in his five organs and six viscera. Even his brain's thinking became exceptionally clear. Some trivial matters that had been bothering him before were suddenly resolved, and they vanished into nothingness amidst Zhao Di's calm smile.

  At this moment, all the things that had happened in the past seemed to be like fleeting clouds in Zhao Di's mind, gradually drifting away. His mood was as calm and peaceful as an ancient well that had never been disturbed by any ripples, without sorrow or joy, slowly becoming serene.

  This Heart Purging Pill is indeed worthy of its great reputation over the thousands of years, it truly has a magical effect in purifying one's heart and cultivating one's state of mind. Moreover, within Zhao Di's dantian, there were also some subtle changes, becoming warm and hot.

  One day later, feeling the great change brought by Xīn Dān, Zhao Di started taking other several kinds of Dan medicine beneficial to Jie Du.

  These medicinal pellets were rare items that had a hint of solidifying the true yuan, all obtained from the cave mansion of Xi Men San Ren. However, after Zhao Di consumed them, apart from having slightly more abundant spiritual energy in his dantian, he couldn't feel any other changes.

  The reason for this is that the effect of these elixirs is negligible compared to the Heart-Clearing Pill, and was overshadowed by its medicinal properties. It's also possible that Zhao Di's spiritual roots and qualifications were too poor, and the slight efficacy of these medicines had a minimal effect.

  After refining these elixirs, Zhao Di took out a bright red, three-inch tall jade bottle while the medicinal properties were still present. With a light wave of his sleeve, the jade bottle floated in mid-air about three feet in front of him. Zhao Di's right hand made a popping sound as it struck the air, and the red stopper on the jade bottle was dislodged with a "pop". A small, inch-sized, flame-like crimson liquid emitting a foul odor burst out of the jade bottle, instantly raising the temperature inside the quiet room by a lot. This was indeed the Three Flames Heavenly Fire Liquid!

  Fortunately, the chairs and other furniture in this quiet room are all made of jade stone. If there were wooden tables and rattan chairs, they would probably be ignited by the high temperature immediately.

  Zhao Di pinched his fingers together, and a faint purple mist gradually appeared on his face. After a moment, the mist slowly covered his entire body. Zhao Di let out a soft cry, "Shua!" His clothes automatically fell off, revealing half of his body covered in the purple mist.

  Zhao Di's eyes gleamed with a resolute light, his teeth clenched tightly, and his right hand lightly touched the flame-like liquid. The flame slowly rose into the air, paused for a moment about a foot above Zhao Di's head, then split into two scarlet liquids that evenly coated his exposed chest and back.

  Zhao Di's entire body immediately turned bright red, as if he was about to bleed, and his face contorted in extreme pain. A thin layer of purple gas enveloped Zhao Di, and if he really couldn't hold on, the purple gas would thicken slightly; if he could still bear it, the purple gas would thin out slightly.

  Under the scorching heat of this extremely high temperature, Zhao Di didn't even have a single drop of sweat fall down, because the sweat drops didn't even have time to form before being evaporated into water vapor and disappearing.

  Zhao Di's originally somewhat slender figure was now even more gaunt due to the high temperature and loss of a large amount of water.

  After a quarter of an hour of inhuman torture, the Three Flame Heaven Liquid was finally temporarily absorbed by his body. His body was still bright red and dripping with sweat, and his skin had become semi-transparent due to the high temperature!

  If he hadn't been a late-stage Jiedan cultivator, his physical body would have long since been tempered by the massive amount of spiritual energy, becoming extremely powerful. Moreover, with sufficient spiritual energy protecting his body at all times, it's likely that even if he hadn't absorbed the three Flame Heaven Fire Liquids' refinement, he would have already been incinerated!

  Zhao Di sat for a while to recover some of his spiritual energy, then took out a pale green jade bottle. After opening the stopper, a cluster of liquid about an inch in size jumped out, emitting a strong and dark fragrance - the Nine Cold Xuanming Water. With the appearance of this water, the temperature around instantly dropped to an extremely low level. If there were any foundation-building cultivators below the initial stage in this quiet room, they would immediately be frozen into ice bars!

  Zhao's mouth corners slightly curled up, revealing a hint of bitter smile. He laid down a layer of light purple gas on his body, and then evenly applied the Nine Cold Xuanming Water to his bright red skin.

  Zhao Di's face turned extremely strange, sometimes greenish-blue and sometimes bright red, and sometimes half of his face was pale while the other half was flushed. Whatever color it was, the painful expression on his face did not weaken in the slightest.

  If it were a monk with an unsteady will, during the tempering of the two extreme spiritual liquids, he would inevitably use a large amount of spiritual power to protect his body in order to alleviate the suffering. In doing so, although the pain is greatly reduced, the effect of the spiritual liquid tempering the flesh would be greatly discounted!

  Zhao Di, in order to achieve the best effect, exhausted his physical limit and refined these two spiritual liquids cleanly. The suffering he endured during this period was nothing for Zhao Di, whose heart was firmly set on the path of cultivation!

  After several periods of time, Zhao Di finally refined the two spiritual liquids in his body, not only did his physical body become much stronger, but his skin was also smooth and delicate like jade. Moreover, he clearly felt that his dantian had stabilized a lot after undergoing extreme heat and cold tests. This helped him to break through the bottleneck, and he even felt that the effect of these two spiritual liquids was slightly better than what he had heard!

  All of these preparations are just auxiliary means to increase his chances of successful elixir formation, and next he will formally begin to condense the Mixed Yuan Golden Elixir according to the Mixed Yuan Manual's methods.

  Zhao's sleeves shook, and under the flashing light, dozens of fist-sized, differently colored semi-transparent spirit stones fell around his body. If other cultivators saw this scene, they would likely exclaim in shock!
