Chapter 262: Golden Core Level 3

Looking at the leaving figures of Jiang Chengxuan and his wife, a disciple next to Taoist Haizhen said:

"Master, do we want...?"

While speaking, this disciple couldn't help but make a slashing motion.

Taoist Haizhen was slightly moved, but in the end he shook his head.

"If they were just willing to enter our sea-breaking valley, there might still be some hope.

But now..."

Taoist Haizhen didn't say the rest, but the disciple next to him already understood.

He couldn't help but said reluctantly: "Master, is there really no other way?"

Taoist Haizhen sighed and said: "Yunpeng, I know how you feel. After finally seeing something that may allow you to obtain the elixir-forming spiritual object, it is inevitable that you can't let it go.

But you have to understand that the most important thing for us monks to practice Buddhism is to keep our eyes open.

Not everyone has something that we can just make up our minds about.

If we don't do it well, we may fail to make the decision and bring disaster to ourselves instead. "

After hearing his master's words, the disciple named Yunpeng was still a little unwilling, but he did not dare to say anything more, but agreed with a respectful expression.

at the same time.

After Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan returned to Taixuan Mountain, they entered Jiang Chengxuan's cave together.

"Husband, do you have the feeling that Taoist Haizhen actually had some thoughts towards you and me just now?"

Shen Ruyan suddenly looked at Jiang Chengxuan.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded and said: "Yes, this person has an impure mind. If possible, we will try to have less contact with this person in the future."

While speaking, Jiang Chengxuan had already taken out the Yingmu Vine he had just obtained.

Then, he took out the Flying Yellow Grass and some other materials used to refine the Huangming Pill.

"Madam, this time you will be the main one in making the alchemy, and I will help you from the side."

Although I really want to make Huang Mingdan myself.

But Jiang Chengxuan knew that with his current alchemy skills, if he tried it forcefully, the probability of success would be less than 30%.

Once they failed, it would be impossible for them to collect such a furnace of materials for refining Huang Mingdan in a short period of time.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Jiang Chengxuan decided to take Shen Ruyan as the main one and him as the assistant.

Naturally, Shen Ruyan would not have any objections to this.

But just when she was about to take out the alchemy furnace and start to warm it up, Jiang Chengxuan stopped her.

Jiang Chengxuan took out the Alchemy Cauldron that he had obtained from the system from his own body, and then smiled and said:

"Madam, you should use my alchemy furnace this time to make alchemy.

By then, the number of Chengdan will probably be even greater. "

This is not the first time Shen Ruyan has used Jiang Chengxuan's Alchemy-Shengding Cauldron.

When she used the fourth-level demon elixir to refine the gold-forming elixir, she used this elixir furnace.

When she saw this alchemy furnace, she immediately smiled and nodded.

"Okay, use this alchemy furnace to make elixirs. Maybe there will be surprises later."

As he spoke, Shen Ruyan had already stirred up the fire here and began to warm up the alchemy furnace.

Refining a fourth-level elixir or above takes significantly longer than a third-level elixir.

Just the steps of smelting and purifying the liquid medicine take at least half a year.

Not to mention the subsequent process of condensing and raising the elixir.

Even Shen Ruyan's alchemy level is far higher than the normal fourth level.

The one used is a special alchemy treasure like the Alchemy Cauldron.

After she successfully refined Huang Mingdan, it still took more than a year.

At this time, inside the Shengdan Cauldron.

The five elixirs, which are bright yellow all over, are rising and falling quietly.

The strong fragrance of alchemy is also constantly coming out from the alchemy cauldron.

Shen Ruyan found the right moment and suddenly used the pill collecting technique.

Just listen to a clang.

The top cover of Shengdan Cauldron suddenly opened.

Five Huangming Pills just flew out of the pill furnace and were put into the jade bottle that Shen Ruyan had prepared in advance.

When Jiang Chengxuan saw this, he suddenly showed joy and said:

"You actually made five Huangming Pills in one breath. Madam, your alchemy skills are indeed superb."

When he thought about it, if they could make three Huangming Pills during this alchemy, then they would be considered to have met their expectations for this alchemy.

If there are four, it is a big profit.

If it's five pieces, it goes without saying that it's definitely a great success.

At this time, Shen Ruyan was obviously very satisfied with the results of his alchemy.

She couldn't help but look at Jiang Chengxuan with a smile and said:

“Speaking of which, this time it’s thanks to your Alchemy Cauldron.

Without it, I estimate that the best result of this alchemy would only be four Huangming Pills. "

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan shook his head and said:

"Madam, you are being humble. No matter how good the Alchemy Cauldron is, it will have no effect without your alchemy skills."

Having said this, Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but change the topic and said:

"Anyway, now that you and I have these five Huang Ming Dan, we should be able to reach the third level of the Golden Dan in our cultivation."

Long before this, Shen Ruyan's cultivation level had reached the second level of Jindan like Jiang Chengxuan.

Now that the couple has Huang Mingdan, it is estimated that it won't be long before they both achieve breakthroughs again.

Shen Ruyan was obviously very happy about this.

At that moment, she took two of the five Huangming Pills, and then returned to her own cave to prepare to start seclusion to break through her cultivation.

The same is true for Jiang Chengxuan.

According to the situation of the two of them, taking one Huang Ming Dan, the probability of a successful breakthrough is about 50%.

If there are two pieces, the probability can basically reach 70% to 80%.

Basically there will be no problem.

If everything goes well, they should still have one or two Huangming Pills left in their hands by then.

at this time.

Jiang Chengxuan has adjusted his own state to a peak.

Then, without any hesitation, he took out a Huang Ming Dan and swallowed it.

As soon as Jiang Chengxuan took the Huang Ming Pill, the entire pill turned into a stream of pure magic power and began to swim through Jiang Chengxuan's meridians.

Jiang Chengxuan immediately began to operate the Five Elements True Art, and then guided this magic power into the sea of ​​​​Qi in his Dantian.

Slowly, the mana accumulation in Jiang Chengxuan's body became stronger and stronger.

But it seems that there is still a long way to go to break through to the third level of Jindan.

He did not hesitate, and immediately took out another Huang Ming Dan and swallowed it.

boom!

This time, as soon as Huang Mingdan took it, Jiang Chengxuan immediately felt that the mana in his body suddenly surged.

In just a moment, his cultivation was on the verge of breakthrough.

Three months later.

Jiang Chengxuan, who was finishing his cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

At this time, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the third level of the Golden Core.

The mana in the body has increased by more than 30% compared to before.

Even compared to some ordinary-grade Jindan late-stage Jindan monks, their magic power is even better.

At the same time that Jiang Chengxuan had made a breakthrough in cultivation, Jiang Rendao, Shen Yuanlong and others on the other side of the front also sent back good news.

Not long ago, together with the monks from Bishui Sword Pavilion, they successfully occupied a resource point in Zheng State.

A medium-sized copper vein.

The metal copper is the main auxiliary material for refining the first-order and second-order formation disks.

It is also the main material for refining various metallic instruments.

Shen Yuanlong's side has already been specially compiled.

The overall value of the medium-sized copper vein they occupied was at least several million spirit stones.

If it is mined in a planned way, its final value may be even more.

In this battle, the Jiang family and Bishui Jiange also killed three Zifu monks from the Zheng Kingdom.

Two of them came from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

One of them was Shangguan Sheng, who had chased Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, but was almost killed by them later.

As the biological son of the contemporary Dingyuan Marquis, this son was killed on the battlefield, which naturally aroused the anger of the entire Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

I saw Shangguan Maofeng, who was in the same Zifu period as Shangguan Sheng, suddenly stood up, looked up at the contemporary Dingyuan Marquis Shangguan Yonghao at the top, and said with a serious expression:

"Second uncle, I am willing to lead my monks from Dingyuan Hou Mansion to go to the frontline battlefield again to avenge Brother Sheng and the clan members who died at the hands of the monks from the Najiang family and Bishui sword pavilion!"

Hearing his words, the other two Dingyuan Houfu Jindans present, Shangguan Yongsheng and Shangguan Yongcheng, couldn't help but secretly nodded in their hearts.

Regardless of the current situation, Shangguan Maofeng's attitude alone deserves recognition from all of them.

Shangguan Yonghao also nodded slightly towards Shangguan Maofeng.

Just when he was about to approve Shangguan Maofeng's request to fight, a summons suddenly came into the hands of him and the other two Dingyuan Marquis Mansion Jindan.

After the three of them read the summons in their hands, their expressions couldn't help but become very ugly.

Shangguan Yonghao even crushed the jade communication talisman in his hand, and his voice suddenly sounded cold and cold:

"Yuanyang Valley mistaken me!"

It turned out that just now, the most powerful Yuanyang Valley in the Zheng Kingdom suddenly sent a message to them, Dingyuan Hou Mansion, and the other two Jindan Sects, Guanglin Sect and Qingyou Sect.

Considering the current situation among the five countries, if they continue to fight like this, apart from consuming the power of their human race in vain, there will not be any big results.

So they, Yuanyang Valley, proposed to negotiate a truce with the Three Kingdoms.

This reason is obviously just a statement to the outside world.

In fact, based on Yuanyang Valley's past style, as long as it is profitable, they will not care so much, let alone have such a "noble" consciousness.

Now that they are suddenly making such proposals and decisions, there must be some reasons that they are unaware of.

But unfortunately, Yuanyang Valley did not intend to tell the real reason.

The most important thing is that Yuanyang Valley's proposal has already been approved by Guanglin Sect and Qingyou Sect.

Even the Shu Kingdom, when they learned that the three Yuanyang Valley families wanted to cease the war, they all expressed this intention.

Only Dingyuan Hou Mansion was kept in the dark.

Also the last one to receive the message.

Although they also know that according to the current situation of the five countries, if the war continues, it will actually have little meaning.

In fact.

From the moment they failed to unite Zheng and Shu to raid Yan State, their original idea of ​​using this opportunity to annex part of the territory of the three countries became impossible to realize.

But even so, Shangguan Yonghao and his people still found it difficult to accept the fact that they were the last to get the news.

"Is it because they see that the strength of our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is weakening year by year, and they don't take us seriously?"

Shangguan Yongsheng said with a gloomy face.

In fact.

The current attitude of Yuanyang Valley towards their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is also one of the main reasons why he, Shangguan Yonghao and Shangguan Yongcheng look ugly.

"What should we do? Brother, should we agree to their proposal?"

Shangguan Yongcheng turned his head to look at Shangguan Yonghao.

Shangguan Yongsheng, who just spoke, and Shangguan Maofeng, who was below, could not help but look at Shangguan Yonghao, the Dingyuan Marquis of their generation.

Although this person's cultivation is the same as Shangguan Yongsheng now, both are at the sixth level of Jindan.

But his knowledge, foresight, and overall view are not comparable to Shangguan Yongsheng and Shangguan Yongcheng, who only has the third level of Jindan.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shangguan Yonghao sighed and said helplessly:

"Now, Guanglin Sect and Qingyou Sect have agreed to the proposal of Yuanyang Valley.

If my estimate is correct, it won't take long before the three Jindan forces of Shu Kingdom will agree to a ceasefire.

At this time, even if you and I want to continue to insist, what's the use?"

After these words, Shangguan Yongsheng, Shangguan Yongcheng, and even Shangguan Maofeng, who were present, fell silent for a while.

After a while.

Shangguan Yonghao continued: "Yongsheng, you can send me a message to Yuanyang Valley later, saying that their proposal has been agreed by Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

As for how to negotiate with Liang, Yun, and Yan, as well as the time and place, just ask them to inform us later."

Shangguan Yongsheng opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded helplessly.

"Yes, brother!"

Two months later

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both officially came out of retreat.

At this time, Shen Ruyan, like Jiang Chengxuan, had also broken through to the third level of the Golden Core.

And she only took one Huangming Pill in the process.

Now the couple still had two Huangming Pills left.

If there was a chance in the future, these two Huangming Pills might allow them to exchange for the treasures they wanted.

Soon.

The couple called the head of the family, Jiang Renyi, and then learned from him about the war situation between the five countries during this period, as well as some of their family's situations on the front line.

Just when Jiang Renyi wanted to continue talking to the two ancestors, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan suddenly received a message from the Bishui Sword Pavilion, saying that there was something very important and hoped that the two of them would go there immediately.
