Chapter 438: Core Formation Spiritual Medicine, Mingyuan Pill refined

"The fastest way to enter the Ten Thousand Python Cave is naturally to go in from the snow valley, but there are too many low-tier snow pythons entrenched inside, which easily alerts the enemy."

"The reason I was able to discover the Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit back then was that I was outside, tracking a small python that hadn't yet formed a climate, and followed it in from another place."

"That entrance is very hidden; when I came to see it last time, it hadn't been destroyed."

"Everyone, use the secret technique to conceal your aura, try to urge it to the extreme, don't be discovered by the demonic beasts."

In the deep tunnel.

A group of five moved quietly forward.

Fu Jiusheng was at the very front, occasionally using spiritual sense transmission to explain the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Luo Chen was still protected in the very center.

Listening to Fu Jiusheng's words in his ears, a pair of spiritual eyes constantly scanned the situation nearby.

Rather than a tunnel, it was more like a snake path.

On the nearby mountain walls, there were slippery mucus, which showed that this small path was still traversed by demonic beasts to this day.

"The Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit matures once every ninety years. The sign of maturity is the appearance of nine white patterns on the fruit."

"Danchenzi, you must pay attention later!"

"Once the white patterns start to turn black, it means the spiritual fruit is about to deteriorate, turning from spiritual medicine into poison. When it turns completely black, absolutely, absolutely do not touch it with your physical body."

Listening to Fu Jiusheng's exhortations.

Luo Chen transmitted calmly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the guidance, I will keep this common sense in mind."

After all, it was a spiritual medicine cultivated by the poisonous saliva of the Seven-Ring Snow Python.

Besides the extraordinary medicinal properties, it naturally also had extreme poison.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came.

Also accompanied by the sound of mountain rocks being crushed, falling off the wall.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle...

Hearing this sound, the five stopped their footsteps immediately.

Each restrained their aura to the extreme, leaning on both sides of the mountain wall.

And then they looked forward without daring to breathe.

After a while, they saw a snow python with three black rings on its body crawling over rustlingly.

When it crossed over, it paused, spat out a huge snake tongue to smell in the air, and finally crawled over suspiciously.

After it left, the five finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Jiusheng looked at the long figure disappearing into the depths of the darkness and sighed: "The last time I saw this small python, it was still at the two-ring level, but now it has cultivated to three rings, I'm afraid it's not far from breaking through to Tier 2."

The Seven-Ring Snow Python, this kind of demonic beast, according to the understanding and records of immortal cultivators.

Each ring can correspond to a small realm of the human race.

According to the knowledge of immortal cultivators, the strongest of this kind of demonic beast they have encountered only had seven black rings, comparable to a Tier 3 early-stage demonic beast, which is the Jin Dan early-stage level of the human race.

It is said that their upper limit is only seven rings.

This has to do with bloodline.

Human immortal cultivators talk about spiritual root aptitude, demonic beasts talk about bloodline.

The stronger the inherited bloodline, the higher the upper limit.

This Seven-Ring Snow Python inherited a Tier 4 demonic emperor White Bone Mysterious Snake, and only shared a tiny bit of side-line bloodline.

So it could only stop at the seven-ring level, which is Tier 3 early-stage.

"This kind of demonic beast has been protected by that White Bone Mysterious Snake from the beginning of its birth, so its combat ability is not very strong."

"However, still need to pay attention."

"They are most proficient in entanglement and strangulation, poisonous erosion, and the instincts possessed by most python-like demonic beasts, identifying auras."

"Therefore, if a battle breaks out later, the best fighting method is to control the distance and focus on long-range strikes. At the same time, it must be steady, accurate, and fast, and the news must not be passed to the outside world."

Fu Jiusheng spoke again, informing everyone of some characteristics of the Seven-Ring Snow Python tribe.

Although everyone listened very seriously, someone finally became impatient.

"We have been traveling underground for most of the day. How much longer will it take to reach the destination?"

The one asking was Madam Yousha.

Fu Jiusheng stopped his footsteps and turned to look at her.

Madam Yousha was stunned, then smiled reluctantly: "Don't mind it, it's just that staying in such a dangerous place for a long time makes my heart feel a bit oppressed. Don't take it to heart, Fellow Daoist."

Fu Jiusheng shook his head.

He pointed to the wall behind him, his lips moving.

"Already here!"

Looking at that wall, everyone was stunned.

But the next moment, when their spiritual sense quietly penetrated the wall and felt the three surging auras, they were instantly excited.

"The Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit is the thing the Seven-Ring Snow Python King values most."

"It is said that this thing has the miraculous effect of helping python demonic beasts break through realms!"

"Therefore, this place is a forbidden area for the snow python tribe, and three Tier 2 late-stage great demonic beasts are arranged to guard it all year round."

"This place, although in the depths of the Ten Thousand Python Cave, is also far away from the places where ordinary tribesmen gather."

"This is also why I have the confidence that as long as we kill those three great demonic beasts, we can provide Fellow Daoist Danchenzi with a certain amount of time and space for alchemy."

"And what we need to do next is how to kill the three Tier 2 great demons quietly without alarming the outside world."

This last sentence made the few feel a bit difficult.

They are all outstanding among rogue cultivators.

Even facing strong people of the same rank in large sects, they have the confidence not to be weaker than others.

Letting them kill Tier 2 demonic beasts, they wouldn't feel it was too difficult.

But if it comes to being quiet, without alarming any existence...

Killing that Drilling Mountain Earth Dragon before caused quite a commotion!

Looking at the few who felt it was difficult, Fu Jiusheng didn't seem surprised at all.

With a flip of his hands, a compass with dozens of small formation flags appeared in his left hand, which he held in the air, and in his right hand, there was a pale white talisman.

"This is?" Luo Chen looked curiously at those two things.

"This is the Divine Steel Hard Earth Great Formation, mostly used by small sects to consolidate the foundation when building the mountain gate. And this talisman is a Tier 3 sound-insulation talisman; once activated, sounds below Tier 3 will not be transmitted within the range covered by this talisman."

Fu Jiusheng explained simply, and then began to distribute tasks.

"Later, I will first activate the Tier 3 sound-insulation talisman to ensure that the sound will not be transmitted outside. Then I will set up the formation, and must not let the cave terrain where the Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit grows be destroyed, so as not to accidentally injure the spiritual fruit."

"When I make a move, Fellow Daoist Helian, Fellow Daoist Xiao, Madam Yousha, you three must also make a move simultaneously, each choosing a snow python, and kill it with the speed of lightning!"

"Danchenzi, don't be idle either, make a move personally to protect the Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit, to prevent the demonic beasts from jumping over the wall in a hurry and destroying the spiritual medicine."

"Everyone, any objections?"

The four looked at him separately, and then nodded simultaneously.

At this juncture, there was no room for delay.

"Prepare!"

Fu Jiusheng gave an order, and in front of the four, drove spiritual power.

The wall in front of him melted quietly, as if snow melted, without any sound.

Also at this moment, the scene of the cave covered by the wall appeared in front of everyone.

Three giant pythons, coiled into a small mountain of black and white, surrounded a small tree about two feet tall in the middle in a product shape.

When the wall melted, the three giant pythons opened their eyes almost at the same time.

As if awakened from hibernation, they looked up at the five figures above.

In the vertical pupils the size of fists, there was full of anger.

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

"Hiss..."

Three hissing sounds were emitted at the same time, as if they were about to notify the outside world.

However!

This sound was blocked by the dim white light activated by the pale white talisman above the cave.

Not only that.

Formation flags flew in all directions, quickly inserted into the ground.

Fu Jiusheng held the compass and sat cross-legged in the void.

Mysterious yellow light, centered on him, spread towards the entire cave.

"Still not making a move, when will you wait!"

A low drink came from his mouth.

Four figures jumped into the cave immediately.

One went straight to the center, and before landing, a group of cyan-green spiritual power light was spat out from his mouth.

Afterwards, it turned into a big bowl, covering down, shrouding the small tree in the middle.

Not only that.

He pinched the spiritual formula with both hands, and layers upon layers of azure light curtains, like glaze, isolated the one-zhang area in the middle of the cave.

This was Luo Chen's handiwork.

Seeing his actions, the three giant pythons were suddenly angry.

The mountain-like coiled body collapsed, turning into a huge python body.

On each snow-white python body, there were six thick black rings.

Six-Ring Snow Python!

Just as Fu Jiusheng said, these were indeed three Tier 2 late-stage great demons.

And the aura of each was not weaker than a human Foundation Establishment Level 9 great cultivator, and that surging aura was even more so.

"Pity, what you are facing are immortal cultivators!"

Immortal cultivators who had already moved to kill and were prepared!

Luo Chen's gaze was cold, looking around at the three sides.

Those three figures rushing over regardless of everything couldn't shake his mind at all.

With his strength, he could handle these three demonic beasts by himself.

What's more, there were others.

The next moment, a delicate drink sounded.

"Evil beast, die!"

It was still that vermilion long silk, but this time, it didn't stretch for a hundred feet, only turning into a size similar to the giant python.

The area was reduced, but the power was more condensed.

Slap!

A whip in the air actually whipped the giant python rushing towards Luo Chen, flying several zhang away, directly hitting the cave wall.

Boom!

The sound of rumbling came, but it was only limited to the cave, unable to be transmitted outside at all.

Madam Yousha pinched the spiritual formula with both hands.

On the amber vermilion silk, a burst of blood rain suddenly sprinkled down.

The stench of that blood rain was even more unpleasant than the smell on the snow python.

After the blood rain landed, in the blink of an eye, it turned into a blood dragon.

"Roar!"

During the roar, the blood dragon tore towards the snow python.

Not only that, the main body amber vermilion silk also flew over, looking for an opportunity to bind the snow python.

For a time, the snow python not only had to wrestle with the blood dragon, but also face the terrifying miasma erosion power on the amber vermilion silk.

Luo Chen's brows wrinkled.

Is this the killer move of this magic treasure?

The Water-Drawing Dragon Transformation Technique prepared in advance can summon a spiritual energy dragon with strength similar to the cultivator's main body.

But this woman's sacrificial refining method clearly took an evil path.

It was not refined with proper spiritual power and mind, but with external force, using the flesh and blood of living beings to refine it.

Only then did it reach this degree of sacrificial refining that is very difficult for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators to reach.

It was almost nine-tenths!

This kind of super-high degree of sacrificial refining, he had only seen once in Tao Wan's Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve in the Green Pill Valley.

"This python's defeat is already expected. It only takes dozens of breaths for Madam Yousha to kill it."

Soon, Luo Chen judged the tendency of the balance of victory.

However, what Luo Chen paid attention to was not just her side.

After the "Clear Soul Breaking Miasma" reached Great Perfection, it allowed him to easily achieve three-use with one mind.

Therefore, his spiritual sense also paid attention to the other two battlefields at the same time.

"Eh!"

A sound of surprise revealed Luo Chen's inner restlessness.

Because in the place where Helian Yun fought, the means the other party displayed made Luo Chen subconsciously guard against it.

Soul-Breaking Nail!

But not just the initial Soul-Breaking Nail!

At this moment, in his hand, there were three!

Three black nails flew out suddenly.

Amidst the flickering black light, one broke the armor and went into the inside of the snow python's body.

One broke the energy, and the huge demon energy accumulated on the snow python was like being pinched by the tail, unable to be activated at all.

And the last black nail pierced straight into the center of the snow python's brow.

Poof!

A light sound, the snow python hissed sadly, and then lay limp on the ground.

And in its body, black light rose and fell.

After only a few breaths, the black nails that had drilled into the body flew out from the tail.

Helian Yun probed his hand to summon.

The three black nails fell into his hand again.

That snow python was already dead beyond death.

Noticing Luo Chen's gaze, he smiled slightly.

"A tiny skill, let you laugh, Fellow Daoist."

Instant kill!

This is the real instant kill!

Compared to Madam Yousha's entanglement, Helian Yun's set of combos killed a demonic beast of the same rank as them in a destructive manner.

This is not a tiny skill.

Luo Chen nodded solemnly, evaluating how to guard against this set of black nails if he fought Helian Yun.

Armor-Breaking Nail, Energy-Breaking Nail, Soul-Breaking Nail.

No wonder this person could survive the Jilei Mountain battlefield unscathed.

Actually had this means!

From what he saw, this set of black nail magic treasures, although they were all low-grade, their potential was far more than that.

Luo Chen temporarily suppressed the wariness of this Lianyun Trade Alliance Great Elder, and looked at Xiao Sanren's battlefield.

In fact, there was no need to look at all.

Since the beginning of the battle, that strange flute sound had been coming into his ears without stopping.

Outside the battle situation, the others couldn't feel the true power of the flute sound.

But Xiao Sanren's enemy—that Six-Ring Snow Python, was already standing still.

As the flute sound became more urgent.

Suddenly!

The Six-Ring Snow Python moved!

However, it didn't launch an attack towards Xiao Sanren, but raised its snake head high.

Xiao Sanren's figure moved, his toes tapped lightly on the snake head, looking down at everyone.

Under his feet, the Six-Ring Snow Python had dull eyes and no spirit.

Seeing this scene, Helian Yun, who was still a bit proud, changed his expression greatly.

"Fellow Daoist, you this..."

Xiao Sanren smiled slightly, "This kind of demonic beast, although its wisdom is open, in front of us cultivators, it is no more than a three-year-old child. It's just some soul-bewitching technique, not elegant enough."

"On the contrary, if it hadn't opened its wisdom and acted entirely on instinct, perhaps I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to it."

Facing this self-effacing language.

Although it was reasonable, Helian Yun and the others dared not take it seriously at all.

Luo Chen's brows wrinkled even more; his current situation and these demonic beasts also had some similarities.

Both possessed powerful physiques, but their soul foundations were relatively weak.

While they were talking.

Madam Yousha on that side finally killed her opponent, and amidst the sweat, there was half a snow python corpse remaining.

It seems that this method of the amber vermilion silk swallowing flesh and blood is also limited!

Luo Chen looked around, his gaze swept over the four one by one, and finally realized in his heart.

No wonder he had a reputation outside, these people actually dared to team up with him boldly.

Believing in his gentleman's reputation is one thing.

Each having confidence in their own means is also one thing.

Regardless of whether it was the three soul-breaking nails, the soul-stealing flute sound, or Madam Yousha's miasma long silk magic treasure, they all faintly restrained his powerful physique.

And that Fu Jiusheng, from beginning to end, was doing things relying on the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection realm.

Other means were not revealed much.

Thinking about it, he also had a few trump cards in hand.

After quickly evaluating the reliance of the few, Luo Chen watched the four surround him.

Their gazes all fell on the azure light curtain under Luo Chen's feet.

Luo Chen moved in his heart, waved his hand to remove the glazed light curtain and spiritual energy light shield.

That small tree only two feet tall appeared in front of everyone immediately.

The small tree was not tall, and the branches and leaves were not lush.

But the fruit hanging on the branch was truly attractive to the eyes.

"One, two, three... nine!"

"Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit!"

"Haha, it's almost exactly the same as the time I predicted, it is indeed the appearance of just maturing."

Extremely rarely, Fu Jiusheng showed a look of ecstasy.

The other three also couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Afterwards, the four pairs of eyes fell on Luo Chen.

"Next, we have to rely on Fellow Daoist Danchenzi."

"Are you sure?"

"We will guard for you, you must refine the Mingyuan Pill!"

"I don't know what other requirements you have, you can say it in advance!"

Facing the eager gazes of the four, Luo Chen pursed his lips and probed his hand to summon.

Boom!

A utensil like a pot and furnace appeared in front of everyone immediately.

He pinched the formula and pointed, injecting spiritual power.

The Minister Cauldron expanded immediately, and in the blink of an eye, it was one zhang tall.

Seeing this, surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.

A magic treasure-level alchemy cauldron!

It seems that for this alchemy, Luo Chen was also fully prepared!

Ignoring their surprise, Luo Chen moved his hands again.

A small compass the size of a palm appeared in his palm.

In front of the few, he embedded five mid-grade spirit stones.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the few changed.

"It's not that I don't trust everyone, but when an alchemist is working, the most taboo is for others to watch, and to disturb."

"My formation compass only engraves a Tier 2 warning formation."

"I hope that when I am refining pills, you will not disturb me."

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

The four stared at him, speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Fu Jiusheng shook his head: "Danchenzi, focus on refining pills, I will go set up the Five Elements Maze Formation, so as not to be discovered by other demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Python Cave."

He left so open-mindedly.

But the other three were still hesitant.

Madam Yousha couldn't help but ask: "What if there are extra Mingyuan Pills after the pill is formed, what if you hide them privately?"

Luo Chen asked back, "You don't trust me?"

Yousha's tone stagnated.

Luo Chen sneered: "We've reached this step, and you're still so suspicious, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate! If I had the intention to deceive, I would add something else to the Mingyuan Pill, then when you form your cores, wouldn't you fall short of success?"

Madam Yousha's face turned iron-blue instantly.

Xiao Sanren shook his head, "It seems that if you don't believe it, you have to believe it. Danchenzi, focus on refining pills, I will take the opportunity to drive this still-living Six-Ring Snow Python out to check the situation."

Helian Yun didn't say much.

For this action, he paid the most effort, whether it was as a middleman to connect all parties, or preparing various auxiliary materials in advance, it could definitely be counted as a big bleeding.

Everything was just for one Mingyuan Pill!

Whether Luo Chen hid it privately or not had little to do with him.

He just wanted one!

Seeing that everyone had left to do the work of guarding against demonic beasts.

Madam Yousha's expression turned from blue to red, and finally, under Luo Chen's mocking smile, she could only stomp her feet.

"Sorry, it's my fault!"

After speaking, she also distanced herself from Luo Chen.

Luo Chen laughed, and threw the formation compass on the ground.

The warning formation specially made for him by Min Longyu expanded, and layers of mist shrouded him.

At this moment.

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the snake saliva fruit with nine patterns with some intoxication.

"Everything is ready, Tier 3 pill, here I come!"

Opening his mouth, a green light fell under the Minister Cauldron, and then it trembled with a boom, and the green light turned into a cluster of flames.

It was the Withered Glory Fire!

It had already been refined by him, achieving the source true fire.

In this way, he only needed to inject a small amount of spiritual power to easily control the size of the fire.

There was no need to use Foundation Establishment True Fire for alchemy, which could also maximize the preservation of his strength.

Afterwards, medicinal herbs processed one by one flew out from Luo Chen's storage bag and fell into the Minister Cauldron.

Regarding the refining of the Mingyuan Pill, Luo Chen had already started practicing nine years ago.

And when he felt that all the accumulation was enough in the fourth year, he used the system to get started.

For this, Luo Chen spent a full forty achievement points.

This huge consumption of achievement points was second only to when he completed "Heavenly Peng Transformation" and derived "Ten Thousand Paths Merging."

That time, it cost forty-five achievement points.

The reason why it cost less this time was that the Mingyuan Pill formula was complete, and Luo Chen had a deeper accumulation in alchemy than in body refining.

Even so, it was a huge consumption.

"Hope, it won't let me down!"

Luo Chen muttered, his mind moved, his hands pinched the spiritual formula frequently, and strands of pure wood spiritual power poured out from his fingertips.

Afterwards, surrounding the small tree, he outlined strands of spiritual light.

Great Perfection proficiency level Suxin Hand!

With this alchemy technique, he could pick the Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit without flaw, not letting it defile after leaving the branch.

After that ripe fruit was picked, under the support of Suxin Hand, it slowly fell into the Minister Cauldron.

One white pattern suddenly squirmed.

One-ninth of the medicinal power suddenly turned into a small snake and darted into the other medicinal liquids that had already been refined.

The two slowly merged, and the prototype of the Mingyuan Pill seemed to appear soon.

But Luo Chen knew that this was just the beginning!

Time passed bit by bit.

Inside the spiritual fruit cave, the four waiting from the initial quiet waiting to the later restless anticipation.

That anxious atmosphere didn't know when it had spread.

"Three days!"

"Still not successful?"

"Wait a little longer! It's a Tier 3 pill after all, it can't be done overnight."

"But this is too long!"

"But the snow python I controlled, its remnant soul can't support it anymore, and it has completely fallen. Before it fell, I saw the situation outside, many snow pythons were wandering and restless, as if something big was about to happen outside."

"It's strange to say, that route of mine before was confirmed by me several times, it was indeed very safe. But this time entering the Great Snow Mountain, I encountered interception of demonic beasts one after another. Those demonic beasts, at a glance, were not migrating with a purpose, but more like fleeing in chaos outside the Great Snow Mountain."

"I'm afraid there is some change in the depths of the Great Snow Mountain that is happening."

"If there is really a change, then the Seven-Ring Snow Python that occupies the Ten Thousand Python Cave will definitely not give up this mature Nine-Pattern Snake Saliva Fruit. If Luo Chen still doesn't succeed, I'm afraid there will be an accident!"

"Be patient, wait a little longer!"

"Yes, I have lived for two hundred and thirty years of immortal cultivation, what's a few more days."

Soft conversation occurred between the four from time to time.

They all spoke very softly, for fear of disturbing Luo Chen in the formation.

But the restlessness on each of their faces, no matter what kind of city they had, couldn't be concealed at all.

After all, this concerns the opportunity of Core Formation!

Also in this anxious anticipation.

The fifth day finally arrived.

At the same time, a strange pill fragrance suddenly rose from the center of the cave.

The hearts of the four moved, and their gazes cast over simultaneously.

The vast clouds and mist dissipated, and a person holding four dark pills in his hand appeared in front of everyone.

Those four pills attracted everyone's attention in the first place.

The medicinal power restrained to the extreme made people unable to detect whether it had the effect of allowing one to break through to the Jin Dan stage.

But the vision of flickering dark blue electric light from time to time made the four couldn't help but blurt out.

"Dark Blue Thunder Floating, Nether Sea Life Origin!"

Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly, "Not disappointing, the pill is formed!"

Very sorry, very sorry, my state has been at its worst recently, and I can only write four or five thousand words a day.

Today I wrote a chapter of 6, 00 words, it felt like it was going to kill me.

I don't know why either, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for votes.

I can only say, in the case of poor updates, for those who are raising the book, I hope you won't forget that this book is still being updated continuously.
