Chapter 1040

Su Fan has naturally heard of the nine-turn Golden Elixir, but the claim that one can allow a mortal to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal is truly too exaggerated.

One Golden Elixir being able to allow a mortal to become an immortal is already very heaven-defying.

How could an ordinary person withstand the vitality contained within a Golden Elixir?

They would probably be burst open instantly.

However, the effect of the nine-turn Golden Elixir is indeed extraordinary. After the Investiture of the Gods war back then, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were mostly stripped of their Five Qi in the chest and Three Flowers on the head by the Three Xiao sisters, instantly becoming mortals.

In the end, they relied on these nine-turn Golden Elixirs to quickly recover their cultivation.

But although they became mortals after being stripped, they were not true mortals. Having cultivated for so many years, their physical bodies had long been tempered to be quite strong, and their realms were still there.

Therefore, they could rely on the nine-turn Golden Elixirs to quickly recover to the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

It is also because of this that the nine-turn Golden Elixir is rumored to be so exaggerated, but the nine-turn Golden Elixir is indeed the most top-tier pill in the Primordial World.

It is a treasure that countless people want but cannot obtain.

Laozi is the alchemy master of the Primordial World.

The Three Pure Ones of the Dao Sect—one in alchemy, one in artifact refining, and one in arrays—are quite formidable.

To be honest, Su Fan has always felt that he came late. If he could have come earlier, he might have been able to find Laozi and learn alchemy.

The Daoist Laozi is also the lower-realm avatar of that Laozi, so he naturally knows the art of alchemy.

Su Fan has always been a master of alchemy and artifact refining in the cultivation world, and his current alchemy skills, if placed in the main world, would be at least seventh-tier or higher.

But compared to Laozi, he is far behind.

After all, the gap between their cultivations is too great. Laozi is the three corpses of a saint, at worst a peak Quasi-Sage, and might even be able to exert the power of a half-saint.

Although alchemy is not judged by cultivation level.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the cultivation world might exceed Golden Core cultivators in alchemy, but if a Nascent Soul cultivator learns the art of alchemy, even if they cannot reach the fourth or fifth tier, they will definitely not be worse than some Foundation Establishment alchemists.

And the gap between Su Fan and Laozi is like the chasm between the Primordial Spirit stage and a mortal.

If Su Fan could learn even a fur of Laozi's alchemy skills, it would be of great benefit to him.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult now.

Unless he can cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, he would have some qualifications to meet Laozi by virtue of his status as a human sage.

As for whether he can ask the other party for alchemy advice, that is also an unknown.

And for Su Fan, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is definitely not a problem, but it is clearly not something that can be achieved in a short time.

Fortunately, although Zhenyuanzi is not an alchemist, as a big shot of the Dao Sect, he also knows some alchemy skills and can be asked for advice in the future.

With Zhenyuanzi's cultivation breakthrough, Su Fan's status is different again.

The relationship between the two is even closer. Su Fan can feel Zhenyuanzi's closeness to him, although he does not think that Zhenyuanzi's breakthrough to half-saint, or even future breakthrough to saint, has much to do with him.

The knowledge he brought out back then was very shallow, even though those Inner Scene techniques, methods to improve earth veins, and so on, were all evolved from the origin divine abilities of those gods in the Great Qin world.

But the two worlds are too different.

Perhaps these could serve as a little reminder, but even without Su Fan's reminders, Zhenyuanzi would still be able to walk out in the future; it would just take a bit longer.

Therefore, Su Fan has always had self-knowledge.

He will not be arrogant because of this. He is very happy about the closeness of the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi, but he will not lose his sense of propriety.

During the three's discussion of the Dao, Su Fan has been listening quietly to the side. The content is vast, but Su Fan finds it very difficult to understand. Except for the very beginning, where he could understand a little bit of the surface, the rest is like listening to a heavenly book.

However, Su Fan does not lose focus. While savoring the Ginseng Fruit on the side, he also records the content of the three's exchange in detail.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it now; perhaps he will be able to understand some of it when his cultivation is deeper in the future.

That will also be of great benefit to him in the future.

After the three finished discussing the Dao, they were savoring and absorbing it. Su Fan did not disturb them and just stayed quietly to the side, also absorbing what he had just heard.

This absorption lasted for half a month.

When Su Fan woke up, he saw the three of them happily eating spiritual fruits on the side.

Seeing him wake up, he saw Zhenyuanzi gently wave his sleeve, and the transparent barrier around Su Fan instantly disappeared.

Clearly, the three were worried that their exchange would disturb him, so they set up a barrier to prevent interference.

Su Fan felt a warmth in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to cup his hands in thanks.

"Haha! Little friend, it seems you have gained quite a bit these past few days."

The changes in Su Fan's realm naturally could not be hidden from the three, especially since his cultivation had fluctuated due to the improvement in his realm and he had not restrained it in time, leading to relatively large fluctuations.

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance. This junior is deeply grateful."

Su Fan bowed again. Although he only heard a tiny bit, for a small Golden Immortal like Su Fan, the gains were also very large.

In terms of realm, Su Fan has almost reached the peak of the Golden Immortal stage.

Although his cultivation is still at the peak of the True Immortal stage, after these Ginseng Fruits, he will likely be able to break through the bottleneck and become an immortal Golden Immortal in a few days.

If placed in the Swallowed Star World, that would also be an immortal-level powerhouse.

Having cultivated for thousands of years to this day, finally becoming a near-immortal Golden Immortal, Su Fan is filled with emotion.

"Haha! This old Daoist here congratulates you, little friend. A Great Luo future is to be expected."

The Great Luo Golden Immortal is the end of the immortal path. As for the Quasi-Sage, to be honest, even though they think highly of Su Fan, they can also perceive a few points about Su Fan's foundation.

Wanting to charge toward the Quasi-Sage is not that easy.

The Quasi-Sage requires luck, realm, opportunity, and so on, all combined together to have a chance to break through.

Back then, when listening to the Dao Ancestor preach in the Purple Heaven Palace, which of those guests was not a person of outstanding talent and extraordinary foundation? But how many truly managed to break through to the Quasi-Sage?

Not many.

Could those people, who were able to listen to the Dao Ancestor preach, have lacked luck and opportunity?

Clearly, it was not enough.

Even those people failed when charging toward the Quasi-Sage.

However, being able to cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage is actually already beyond 99.9% of beings.

They never thought that Su Fan would definitely become a Quasi-Sage in the future.

Even Great Yu actually thought it would be very good for Su Fan to reach the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. As for charging toward the Quasi-Sage, it would be best if he succeeded, and the human race's strength would be stronger; if he didn't succeed, they wouldn't be disappointed.

To this day, the number of Quasi-Sages in the human race is only about a handful.

If the Quasi-Sage were really that easy to break through to, with the power of the human race, no one would have succeeded in charging toward it since the ancient Human Emperor.
