The past two days have been relatively calm.
The only trouble is that I have to go to Xianghua Yard every day to pay respects to Wang Siqi.
For the rest of the time, Zhang Ye was quite free, and his main job was to cultivate and refine elixirs.
The last time Zǐ Yī taught the Bǎo Líng Zhēn Dān, it was a fifth-grade elixir, and its refinement was quite complicated, with not enough progress.
The refining of Bao Ling Zhen Dan requires the use of Wu Ling Shen Ding and cannot be done in a single furnace to produce three elixirs.
The process is complicated, time is too long, and the consumption of true energy is too huge. It's really impossible to control the three separate fire arrays.
If Yi Hua Ding can be used, the situation should improve.
However, in the past two days, I have been communicating with Yi Hua Ding, but the effect is minimal.
Yi Hua Ding is a sixth-grade treasure, which is too high in rank. In theory, the strength of a sixth-grade treasure is slightly weaker than that of a divided spirit in six layers.
Zhang Ye's current cultivation was only at the first level of Split Spirit, but his actual strength was slightly stronger than that of a typical cultivator at the second level of Split Spirit. Compared to Yi Huading, he was directly three levels behind.
If it weren't for Dan Lü's own heavy yin and yang energies, this exploratory communication alone could have brought harm to Zhang Ye.
His palm pressed on Yihua Ding, Zhang Ye concentrated his mind and sensed it, the true energy slowly seeped in, gradually increasing.
It seems like there's some improvement, but Zhang Ye himself is also suffering a lot.
I always feel like Yi Hua Ding is like a black hole that can drain one's energy and spirit.
Sweat dripping all over his face, Zhang Ye collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
Still no good, slightly better than before, but Yihua Ding still looks down on himself.
Zhang Ye felt somewhat depressed.
To break through cultivation is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.
The higher the level, the more difficult it is. Plus Zhang Ye's foundation was much thicker than ordinary people. Now that he has entered the divided spirit realm, it's obviously much slower than before.
If there were a higher level of magic, things might be better, but now, that old guy who passed on the technique still doesn't buy it.
Zhang Ye propped up his head and thought hard.
"Bring out the Golden Elixir." The Purple Robe suddenly appeared in the Sea of Consciousness.
"I almost forgot about this." Zhang Ye slapped his forehead and hastily took out the golden elixir of the Jade Machine that he had been keeping close to him.
"Ordinary people, even if they obtain the Golden Elixir, find it very difficult to digest smoothly." Zi Yi said in the sea of consciousness, "Because that requires many things. When Yu Ji Zi died, he had just entered the first layer of Golden Elixir cultivation. After his death, the Golden Elixir's law power was sealed, and it is now basically equivalent to a seventh-grade treasure. However, to transform it, a complex process is needed, requiring the refinement of Yu Ji Zi's willpower and demonic energy within. In other words, whoever wants to do this must have an eight-grade dan furnace with its own built-in instrument spirit to refine this Golden Elixir."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "But you don't need to do that anymore. You have the help of Dajie, Xiaobao and Xiaojin, which is equivalent to joining forces to refine the golden elixir for you. Now, swallow the golden elixir, suppress your dantian, and cultivate in your usual way, and you will gain something. Take it slow."
Zhang Ye immediately swallowed the golden elixir into his mouth, concentrated his mind and spirit, and under the escort of his true energy, he suppressed the golden elixir to his qi sea.
Before practicing the exercise, Ziyi said faintly: "When absorbing, pay attention. Yu Jizi has cultivated his divine ability, and it's not just one direction. We need to strip off his divine ability and leave it inside the Golden Elixir. Can't let his divine ability intervene in your body."
"What side effects will it have?" Zhang Ye asked curiously.
"There are no side effects." Ziyi said with a proud and arrogant tone, "For ordinary people, cultivating divine abilities is even more costly than advancing in level. Being able to obtain divine abilities in this way is almost a heavenly gift. But for you, the Black Devil Fist and Heavenly Demon Thunder Sound are not worthy of entering your body. This trivial skill, we can just forget about it."
“。。。”
Zhang Ye didn't dare disobey her, but he couldn't help feeling that she was too arrogant and ungrateful. She had been given two divine artifacts as a gift, yet she still looked down on him.
Zi Yi knew what he was thinking and added, "Don't worry too much, this is for your own good. When you form your elixir in the future, all of your divine abilities will be sealed within it. The more divine abilities you have, the higher their level, the stronger your elixir will be, but it will also bring a drawback - it will make forming your elixir difficult, and advancing afterwards will also be difficult. Moreover, a cultivator's foundation building is just a small tribulation, but before reaching the Great Completion of the Yuan Ying, they will experience a true great tribulation. Only after that can they smoothly enter the ranks of the Transcendent Immortals. The more divine abilities you have when crossing the calamity, the greater your risk and suffering will be. In the past, Tai Xuan True Person had already cultivated his ultimate divine ability, the Twenty-Four Kills of Tai Xuan, before reaching the Great Completion of the Yuan Ying. This directly led to him having to confront his own Twenty-Four Kills when crossing the calamity. Do you understand?"
I'm dizzy...
The primordial infant's Mahayana is equal to opposing one's own divine powers.
Zhang Ye couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his own "Ten Steps, One Kill".
Collecting his mind and following Zi Yi's instructions, Zhang Ye began to circulate the current sixth-grade spell.
As the true energy circulated, Zhang Ye entered inner vision and sensed that a golden elixir in Yu Jizi's dantian had also risen with a faint golden energy flow, constantly merging into Zhang Ye's own true energy.
The true energy from Jindan is different from the true energy borrowed from Yuanyuan Dan.
The true energy from the Gathering Yuan Dan is actually a short-term deception against one's own meridians, and after stopping the flow of energy, the extra part that appeared will automatically disappear.
However, this flow of air from the Jade Machine Golden Elixir, once merged, is no longer separate and is very peaceful.
Constantly separate the true energy, constantly merge.
The true energy is getting more and more, this feeling is too good.
The speed of true energy accumulation is more than five times his usual cultivation at night.
Slowly absorbing, until Zhang Ye's meridians started to feel hot and dry, and the pain became unbearable, only then did it stop.
After observing for a while, the true energy flowing through the meridians has increased significantly within this one day.
Slowly spat out the golden elixir, held it in his hand to observe, Yu Jizong's golden elixir was still translucent throughout, presenting a golden color.
"For now, I have only absorbed a very small part of it. It's still too early to absorb everything completely." Another voice came from the sea of knowledge, that of the purple-robed figure.
Received the golden elixir, the crucial moment has arrived.
Zhang rested for a moment at night and entered the Seven Treasures Gourd. He placed his palm on the Yi Hua Ding, starting to sense and communicate, slowly infusing true energy.
Yi Hua Ding suddenly became much brighter, like a glowing crystal.
However, Yi Hua Ding was never activated and did not amplify.
After such a stalemate for a long time, Zhang Ye finally gave up again, panting violently.
Too strong, still can't recover Yi Hua Ding...
In the evening, Tan Siqin made a special trip over and asked about Zhang Ye's alchemy situation.
Zhang Ye carefully took out a jade box and handed it to Tan Siqin, pitifully saying, "Master, I'm so stupid. Nowadays, I can only refine one furnace of dan per day. After all these days, I've only managed to refine a total of five pellets."
Tan Siqin gazed at him for a moment, nodded and said softly: "Don't worry too much. For now, you can't recover Yihua Ding, using the fifth-grade Dan furnace to refine the Baoling True Dan, the success rate is not high, it's hard work."
As she spoke, she handed the elixir back to Zhang Ye: "You take these for now and don't give them to me. We can talk about it later when production increases. Besides, I know that you personally refined these medicinal materials. I don't want to ask how much land you've secretly stashed away, just be low-key."
Zhang Ye, despite being very greedy, still handed the jade box to Tan Siqin and said, "Master, these are indeed my own medicinal materials that I refined myself, not something I'm giving you to sell. These few pieces are a gift for Master, a small token of my intentions. For Master's cultivation, carrying some of this precious Lingzhen Dan on your person will be a precaution against unexpected events."
