Chapter 263: Demon Yuan Dan
Demon Yuan Dan is the collective name for elixirs made from demon elixirs. Different demon elixirs are used, and the spiritual herbs used as auxiliary medicines also change accordingly.
At the beginning, Old Man Danjue only developed the first-level Demonic Essence Pill. After nearly a hundred years of intensive study, he developed dozens of Demonic Essence Pill prescriptions, up to the seventh-level Demonic Essence Pill.
But these elixirs are of no use to him. Demon Yuan Dan is different from elixirs made from spiritual grass. For example, five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass can be refined into early-stage elixirs, and can also be refined into mid-stage elixirs.
However, the fifth-level Demon Yuan Dan is only useful for monks in the early stage of Dan formation. If monks in the middle stage of Dan formation want to improve their cultivation, they can only take the sixth level Yao Yuan Dan.
Old Man Danjue is a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul. If he wants to improve his cultivation, he must take the eighth-level Demonic Essence Pill, which requires the demonic elixir that transforms into a monster as the main medicine.
However, transformed monsters are also very rare in the Sea of Ten Thousand Monsters. Old Man Dan Jue spent a lot of time and many plans, and finally killed an eighth-level Qingtian Divine Turtle, and used the demon pill as the main medicine to refine the first Furnace level eight demon Yuan Dan.
Thanks to his proficient alchemy skills and rich experience in researching dozens of demon yuan pills from scratch, he was able to conceive of the demon yuan pill based on the seventh-level sky-high turtle demon pill as the main medicine. The recipe for the eighth-level Demon Yuan Dan, and it was successful in one fell swoop.
Since then, in order to refine the Demon Yuan Dan, Old Man Dan Jue repeatedly invited other Nascent Soul monks to enter the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons to hunt transformed monsters, and he did not hesitate to reward them with eighth-level Demon Yuan Dan.
During this period, Old Man Danjue's long-stagnant cultivation finally began to improve.
However, it was difficult to kill the transformed monsters, and he still needed to reward other Yuanying monks with elixirs. His cultivation was not progressing quickly, and it took more than two hundred years to break through the mid-term bottleneck.
Compared with ordinary early Yuanying monks, Old Man Danjue's cultivation speed is already very fast. After all, most early Yuanying monks can only stay at the early Yuanying stage throughout their lives.
But old man Dan Jue was not satisfied with this. He touched the mid-term bottleneck forty years ago and spent the last forty years breaking through the bottleneck.
The bottleneck will only become stronger in the later period, and the ninth-level demon pill is more difficult to obtain than the eighth-level demon pill. If he continues to practice at this speed, even if he has the demon yuan pill to improve his cultivation, he will not be able to become a great monk. He must have something Change. .
But Old Man Dan Jue is just an alchemist after all, and his own combat power is not strong. If he wants to hunt more transformed monsters, he can only use his strength to do so.
Using the Demon Yuan Pill as a guide, he caused a huge storm in the Jade Clear Sea, united the three major sects, jointly opened up the sea area, and attacked the demon clan on a large scale.
After the Demon Yuan Pill is refined, it is no different from ordinary pills. Other Nascent Soul cultivators cannot tell the truth from the truth. When faced with the Nascent Soul stage pills offered by Old Man Dan Jue, they naturally cannot refuse.
Under the instigation of Old Man Danjue, several battles broke out between the Yuqinghai monks and the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea Monster Clan. Beast tides broke out frequently, and both the monks and monster beasts suffered numerous casualties.
The fight between the two sides lasted for more than two hundred years. Old Man Dan Jue got his wish and obtained several ninth-level demon pills, which pushed his cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, only one step away from being a great monk.
At this time, he still has nearly three hundred years of life, enough time to break through the later bottleneck, and even have a glimmer of hope to reach the divine stage.
Prior to this, Yu Qinghai had not given birth to a god-transformation monk for tens of thousands of years. If it were not for the research on the Yaoyuan Dan recipe, Old Man Danjue would never have dared to have such a delusion.
However, due to his weak combat power, he was seriously injured several times in previous fights with transformed monsters, resulting in damage to his foundation.
The bottleneck in the late Nascent Soul stage was extremely strong. He used several methods to stimulate the bottleneck, but failed, and his cultivation remained at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
Time passed, and more than a hundred years later, Old Man Dan Jue still failed to break through the bottleneck in the later stage. Seeing that his life was approaching, he finally fell into despair and prepared to go to Jueling Island to find a way to break through the bottleneck in the later stage.
After researching the recipe for the Demon Yuan Dan, he has never been to the dangerous Jueling Island, and has been using the Demon Yuan Dan to steadily improve his cultivation.
However, Yaoyuan Dan can only improve his cultivation, but it cannot help him break through the bottleneck. Jueling Island is his last hope.
This dangerous place known as Jade Clear Sea is a strange place. No one knows its origin yet. It is suspected to be left by powerful monks in ancient times.
There are many rare treasures hidden in it. In the past, there were many monks who got opportunities on Jueling Island and broke through the bottleneck.
But old man Dan Jue also knew that he was only good at refining pills and not good at fighting with others.
This trip is another opportunity to find a way to break through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul. We must go deep into the Jueling Island, which is extremely risky. It can be said to be a narrow escape, and it is very possible to die.
Therefore, before leaving, he left his inheritance on Wuchen Island to prevent the method of refining Demon Yuan Dan from being lost.
Of course, Old Man Danjue has never been a righteous monk. Everything he did was for the sake of seeking immortality. For his own selfishness, he could start a war between human cultivators and monsters.
But as the saying goes, the passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names. He has been stuck in front of the bottleneck for a long time, and the chance of seeking the truth is slim. On a whim, he wanted to leave his own inheritance, and his life's hard work in alchemy was not in vain.
In the jade slips, old man Dan Jue, who felt deeply that he had no hope of success, was very candid and told his life experiences.
He also left a paragraph: "I have been obsessed with alchemy all my life. I once dreamed of seeking the great road through alchemy. My magical powers are not good and my foundation is not strong. I am trapped in front of a bottleneck and can't move forward. The younger generations of monks have inherited this inheritance. Don't be addicted to alchemy. You need to know Cultivation of supernatural powers is the foundation of everything. If you want to achieve the great road, you must diligently cultivate the means to protect it, and you must not leave it to others!"
The last part of the jade slip is the hundreds of demon Yuan Dan formulas he has researched, ranging from the first level Yao Yuan Dan to the ninth level Yao Yuan Dan.
There are also three recipes for level 10 demon elixir, but Elder Dan Jue has never obtained a level 10 demon elixir. These three recipes are only derived from the same type of level 9 demon elixir and level 8 demon elixir, and they still need to be verified.
Chen Yuan memorized everything in the jade slip. This was Elder Dan Jue's life's work and the essence of the alchemy of a great alchemy master. It allowed demon elixir, which could only be used as a refining material, to replace five hundred, eight hundred, or even thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Its value even exceeded the inheritance of a great cultivator.
After a long time, he withdrew his consciousness, took a step back, put his hands together, and bowed deeply to the jade slip with a serious expression.
This bow was a respect for the alchemy sages and a gratitude for the inheritance left by Elder Dan Jue.
After getting up, he put away the jade slip. There was nothing in the thatched house except the futon on the ground.
Chen Yuan turned around and walked out of the thatched house, picking dozens of spiritual herbs from more than a dozen spiritual plant gardens, and all the few hundred-year spiritual herbs were picked and put into the mustard ring.
These spiritual herbs were planted by old man Dan Jue and used as auxiliary medicines for refining various Yao Yuan Dan.
Among them, fifty-year spiritual herbs can be used as auxiliary medicines for level 5 Yao Yuan Dan, eighty-year spiritual herbs can be used as auxiliary medicines for level 6 Yao Yuan Dan, and hundred-year spiritual herbs can be used as auxiliary medicines for level 7 Yao Yuan Dan.
As for the three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs for refining level 8 to level 10 Yao Yuan Dan, they are not planted in the spiritual plant garden.
This is just a heritage that old man Dan Jue laid on a whim before going to Jueling Island, so naturally there will be no good things.
And he disappeared after True Man Qingyou formed the pill, and he should have died in Jueling Island, otherwise he would not have given up this space magic weapon.
Due to the limited space in the mustard ring, Chen Yuan did not take away all the fifty-year and eighty-year spiritual herbs. Moreover, these spiritual herbs that can be ripened by Qi-refining monks can be seen everywhere in the market. They are not valuable and he is not very interested.
After taking the jade slip and the spiritual herbs, Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it. A white jade slip mixed with light green slowly emerged, emitting a faint spiritual light.
In the inheritance jade slip, the old man Dan Jue left the method to control this space magic weapon. This jade slip that opens the portal to the space secret realm is the top priority.
The old man Dan Jue left not only this map, but seven copies, all hidden in the recipes of the elixir of the Jindan period.
On the way to Jueling Island, he sold these seven recipes to the alchemists in the market along the way, or threw them on the deserted island at will, or left them in the temporary cave he had opened before, waiting for the destined person.
As long as someone activates the map, he can find the Wuchen Island, which was still called Qianlang Island at that time, enter the Qingyu Secret Realm, and have the opportunity to obtain inheritance.
If you want to take this space magic weapon, you also need to pass this jade slip, which is considered part of the inheritance of old man Dan Jue.
But after Chen Yuan summoned the jade slip, he shook his head helplessly.
He naturally wanted to take the green jade. Space magic weapons require a large number of rare spiritual materials to refine. They only exist in large sects and are the foundation of the entire sect. Even great monks cannot take them for themselves.
Old man Dan Jue also had extraordinary luck. This piece of green jade was accidentally obtained by him after he entered a dangerous place in Jiuxianzhou in order to find a thousand-year-old spiritual herb. Even great monks rarely have such luck.
Space magic weapons contain spiritual energy. As long as they are warmed up in the spiritual veins for a period of time every once in a while, there will be no worries about damage. It is the safest cave.
But Chen Yuan only has the cultivation of the early stage of Jindan and does not understand the power of space. If he wants to take the green jade, it will take at least a quarter of an hour, and the three Jindan monks of the Lu family will never let him take the space magic weapon calmly.
Unfortunately, the first kind of true blood refined was Zhu Yan's true blood. If it was replaced with Tianfeng's true blood, Kunpeng's true blood, Dijiang's true blood, Taotie's true blood, etc., which contained the power of space, he would definitely be able to take the green jade away smoothly.
Chen Yuan's thoughts turned, he put away the jade slip, returned to the thatched hut, meditated and practiced, and restored his consciousness and true essence.
After he entered the Green Jade Secret Realm, the ban had not been broken, which showed that the Lu family had not yet invited the Nascent Soul cultivator to take action.
But he spent nearly two months refining the fifth-level demon Yuandan twice, and it was hard to say how much patience the Lu family had left.
He could not delay time and had to leave the space secret realm as soon as possible and escape from Wuchen Island.
A day later, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the true essence and consciousness consumed in the process of refining the pill had been restored to their original state.
It was time to leave the secret realm. He stood up and walked out of the thatched hut. With a thought, he took out the jade slip from the mustard ring and held it tightly in his hand with a solemn expression.
His original plan was to sneak into the Wuchen Mountains and quietly take away the inheritance, but he didn't expect that the Qingyu Secret Realm would be so loud when it was opened that it alarmed the entire Lu family.
The Lu family has three Jindan cultivators, plus the protection of the clan formation. Even if Chen Yuan stimulates Zhuyan's true blood, he is not their opponent.
If you want to leave the Lu family, you have to take them by surprise.
Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it, and the Golden Dragon Sword and Fengyun Bell appeared. Then he raised his hand and threw the jade slip out. The spell in his hand changed, and pointed at a point. The jade slip shone brightly, and a narrow green door slowly appeared in front of Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan raised his hand to take back the jade slip, and the white light enveloped his surroundings. Then he strode out and walked into the narrow green door.
…
At noon in the Wuchen Mountains, the sun was high in the sky, the mountain breeze was blowing, and it was quiet and peaceful, but the air on Qingling Mountain was heavy and stagnant.
The three Jindan cultivators of the Lu family surrounded Qingyu, their eyes slightly closed, their aura restrained, as if they were three flying swords hidden deep in their sheaths, ready to fly up at the next moment, emitting endless sword energy and destroying everything in front of them.
Suddenly, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time, and a narrow door of green light slowly emerged from the green jade. Inside it was a vast expanse of white, and no real or fake information could be seen.
Lu Gui said: "The Taoist Zi Yang is about to come out. Be prepared and never let this thief escape!"
He raised his hand and grabbed it. A dark blue long spear appeared out of thin air and hung above the green jade, ready to cut it down at any time.
This is a mid-level magic weapon, named Fu Hai Ge, and it is also Lu Gui's natal magic weapon. After being nurtured by him for more than 200 years, it has extraordinary power and can be regarded as the top among mid-level magic weapons.
Lu Qing sacrificed a black flying sword, but the spiritual light it exuded was far inferior to Fu Hai Ge.
He had been in the Dan formation for less than 30 years and had not refined his natal magic weapon. This flying sword was left by the ancestors of the Lu family. It was just a low-level magic weapon with mediocre power. It only had the shape of a sword, but no advantage of a flying sword.
However, Lu Qing had just formed the Dan and had not yet cultivated the magical secrets, so he could only use this magic weapon to fight the enemy.
Next to Lu Qing, Lu Haiwei held a formation plate about a foot in size with his left hand, and put two fingers of his right hand together in front of his chest, staring at the narrow green light gate.
Although he had the cultivation base of the peak of the early Jindan stage, he had not fought with others for a long time, and he was already old. Lu Gui arranged him to take charge of the formation plate of the clan protection formation. If Taoist Ziyang really had the cultivation base of the late Jindan stage, he would need him to activate the clan protection formation to help.
Behind the three people were thirty-six foundation-building cultivators, each holding a formation flag condensed by spiritual light. Lu Yuan was also among them, with a solemn expression.
These spiritual light formation flags were condensed from the clan protection formation. Activating the clan protection formation required the consumption of high-grade spiritual stones, or the infusion of mana by cultivators.
This time, they were just encircling and suppressing Taoist Ziyang, and it was too wasteful to use high-grade spiritual stones, so they were asked to hold the spiritual light formation flags and infuse mana when Lu Haiwei activated the formation.
At this time, the narrow green door finally expanded to its limit, and a figure stepped out. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and a hideous scar on his left face was very eye-catching. It was Taoist Ziyang.
Lu Gui shouted: "Good thief, give me your life!"
He pointed at one point, and Fu Hai Ge swung lightly. Hundreds of blue light blades slashed at Taoist Ziyang. The sound of huge waves rang out in the void. The thirty-six foundation-building cultivators of the Lu family couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and they had the illusion that they were about to be swallowed by a tsunami.
This was not the end. After the light blades were slashed out, Lu Gui raised his hand and pointed to the sky. A cloud as blue as the sea suddenly condensed, covering a thousand feet in radius. Endless raindrops fell, condensing into three-inch-long spikes, shooting at Taoist Ziyang.
At the same time, Lu Qing gritted his teeth and raised his hand to make a gesture. The black flying sword grew to a length of about ten feet, making a whistling sound, and chopped down heavily.
Taoist Ziyang deceived the Lu family and tried to steal the space magic weapon. The Lu family monks hated him to the core and were merciless, wishing to kill him on the spot!
Thanks to the Four Gods of Wrath of Heaven for the reward!
