Chapter 117: Breakthrough of the First Dan, Journey to the West

The foundation is built perfectly, and one has a glimpse of the initial elixir realm.

The stage of foundation building itself requires continuous laying of the foundation. Once the foundation is solid and complete, you can break through to the initial stage of Dan.

The first elixir is not the golden elixir, but a semi-finished product of the golden elixir. The first elixir is also called the yellow bud, which needs to be constantly refined with fire before it can become a perfect elixir.

"First pill." Xu Yang muttered to himself.

To break through the initial stage of the elixir, one lacks a technique, some medicinal materials, and the spirit to reach the peak state.

The last item is particularly important. The inner elixir is the product of the essence, energy and spirit reaching a perfect state. If one's own essence, energy and spirit have not reached the best state at the time of breakthrough, the probability of failure will greatly increase, and it is easy to create the risk of "leaking the elixir".

Every time you fail to condense the inner elixir, the difficulty will increase tenfold next time.

Even if you have the Warring States silk book, it will be more difficult to break through in the future.

"No matter what, let's absorb this Yin energy first."

Xu Yang thought.

This is the Yin energy that has accumulated for more than a hundred years. If it is all absorbed, you won’t even need any pills next time.

A top-quality furnace is equivalent to an excellent pill.

Next is to work hard again.

Just because Gui Xiang can’t control his own body doesn’t mean he’s unaware of the condition of his physical body.

“Is this what it feels like?”

Gui Xiang was both shy and angry. He was shy because the person was the same as the one he had longed for, but he was angry because the person was not the one he had been thinking about day and night.

This feeling is disgusting, but I have to accept it.

"I accept my fate. Brother will definitely avenge me. When the time comes, I will cut open your flesh bit by bit and dig out your internal organs alive."

Gui Xiang didn't even realize that his thoughts had changed from committing suicide to living for revenge.

Mainly because she realized that this wasn't so bad.

"All the direct descendants of the demon race have the ancient demon energy. Keep trying. When you become a half-demon, I will control you instead."

The demon race is different from ordinary monsters.

The transformation of ordinary monsters depends on chance, but the transformation of the demon race is much more stable, and only then can they form a race.

There are two main reasons. One is inheritance. The demon race is blessed with the skills of purifying blood that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The second is the ancient demonic energy. The ancient demonic energy is the purest demonic energy. This energy can greatly increase the speed of bloodline cultivation and the probability of awakening.

If humans absorb this energy, they will easily be contaminated by the ancient evil energy and turned into a monster that is neither human nor demon.

Xu Yang didn't know all this and continued to work hard on his cultivation.

Return to the Taoist temple.

In front of the bronze mirror in the training hall, the man in the mirror has sharp eyes and is full of energy. This is the unconscious overflow of his energy and spirit that has reached its peak.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

A woman in white came in, with a holy and pure temperament. When Zhao Ziyan saw Xu Yang, she smiled and said, "How is it? How does the demon taste?"

"I don't know. I don't care about this matter. I just want to punish the demons."

Xu Yang said righteously.

"Nine-headed bird, spider, clam spirit, ghost, the Great Sage really doesn't care about food or drink."

Zhao Ziyan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"That's not true. Aren't you a normal person?" Xu Yang asked back with a smile.

"That's right." Zhao Ziyan put away her teasing tone, "A letter came from the county palace, someone asked if you want support?"

"Support should be asked before the war, not after the war. What's the point of asking after the war? It's just to pick peaches." Xu Yang sneered, seeing through the nature of these people picking peaches at a glance.

Fortunately, I have Zhigang as my master. This old man never interferes in things. Even now, as long as I don’t ask for help, this old man will not ask anything.

This is a tacit understanding.

"Then reject them."

Xu Yang's eyes turned cold and he said:

"Tell them that the county government has a blessed place, so why bother with a small county town? If they come here without prior notice, and I kill them as monsters, they won't have anyone to blame."

"I'll pass it on to them."

In the time since then.

Xu Yang exchanged for the first chapter of the Heche Health Records, and while absorbing the Yin energy from the treasure point, he was thinking about how to get started.

At the same time, the demons in Niaoguan City began to become "restless", often disguising themselves as wild demons and breaking into the territories of other monks, killing innocent people and controlling the monks.

Jiuyou Temple always arrived at the right time to rescue its colleagues, and there were a few times when it was unable to rescue them. Of course, Jiuyou Temple would not covet these benefits, but would support the descendants of the cultivator.

In this way, the peripheral forces of Jiuyou Temple became stronger and stronger, gradually infiltrating the other three counties.

Almost all the forces outside the Taoist temples in the three counties were "caught in one fell swoop" by the Jiuyou Temple.

Other Taoist temples also fought back, but often after they succeeded, the demons would return again.

This went on for several times, and finally no Taoist temple was willing to take on this thankless job anymore.

"Strange, why is Jiuyou Temple fine? Is Xu Yang colluding with the demon clan?"

Others also had doubts, but without evidence, everything they said was false.

The days go by one by one.

Jiuyou Temple, above the sky.

boom! !

On this day, the sky was filled with bloody clouds.

A ten-zhang-tall red-skinned Yaksha was flying through the clouds. His hair was like dark green candlelight, and a pair of bat wings covered dozens of zhang.

Another foundation-building cultivator.

The Yaksha transformed and landed on the ground, turning into a green-haired man.

The man was Chang Tong. In front of him was an altar, on which were offered the severed limbs of demons and a golden bowl filled with blood.

This is not an ordinary Yaksha method, but a method that adds the way of barbarian Buddha's transformation.

The advantages of the two lineages were combined into one, and Chang Tong completely transformed into a Yaksha and became a foundation-building cultivator.

Up to this point, there are four non-zombie foundation-building cultivators in Jiuyou Temple: Ruyi, Qingping, Baizhu, and Changtong.

After adjusting his breath slightly, Chang Tong went to the center of the Taoist temple to report.

"Master, I have lived up to your expectations and have successfully broken through to the foundation building stage."

"Well, let's go down."

Xu Yang's calm voice came from the palace.

Chang Tong stepped back.

There is an altar in the palace, on which is placed a bird-feathered monster with burning flames. This is one of the generals who established the foundation of Niaoguan City. A few days ago, Xu Yang manipulated Gui Xiang to coax a general out.

This is how we get the corpse we see before us.

Xu Yang did not intend to train this monster into a separate zombie. There were already enough foundation-building zombies, and one more would not make much difference.

He was planning to merge the Firebird and the Golden-eyed Eagle.

"How about adding a pair of wings to the golden-eyed eagle?"

In this way, the golden-eyed eagle becomes a four-winged golden-eyed eagle, and can use two kinds of true fire. It should have the combat power of the peak of the foundation building stage.

As for the Firebird's flaming eyes, they can replace the Red-faced Yaksha's eyes, allowing the Red-faced Yaksha to use real fire and still have the vision of the Firebird.

The other parts are used as materials for alchemy and are handed over to Rufeng for processing.

"Yes, that's good."

Xu Yang thought so.

As for how to suture, this is already within our grasp and not a problem.

In the art of corpse-driving, Xu Yang has already departed from the framework of Taoist Zhigang and developed his own Jiuyou system.

The characteristic of Jiuyou system is the integration of multiple systems, and the emphasis is on quick-made zombies, the corpse demon is an example.

In his opinion, zombies should be made with low cost and large number. The zombies created at the cost of all his fortune have become his lifeblood that cannot be touched.

A zombie worth ten taels each can be used to defeat other people's magical weapons, spiritual beasts, and zombies worth thousands or even tens of thousands taels, and it is never a loss no matter how much it consumes.

The key is to save effort and not require any brainpower.

Since zombies are so cheap, their status is naturally insignificant. They are just thrown at them and suppressed with firepower at all costs.

Xu Yang felt that this was the fundamental point.

"After breaking through the initial stage, the number of zombies I can control should be over a thousand." Xu Yang thought.

"Qing Ping!"

"Disciple is here!" The blue-eyed zombie teleported over.

"Collect more bats, birds, and human corpses."

"Yes!"

After assigning the tasks, Xu Yang went into seclusion to practice again.

Calm your mind and focus inward on your Dantian.

There is a nebula emitting bright light in the lower dantian.

The nebula revolves around the bright moon, and the bright moon runs through the meridians.

The bright moon is formed from the essence of Taiyin, symbolizing one's own fundamental law.

The stars of different colors around symbolize the Guishui method, the Jiuyou Taiyin corpse-driving method, the Yaksha method, the Manfo method, the Yin-Yang eyes...all kinds of magical powers and spells.

The two complement each other. The more solid the foundation of the fundamental law is, the greater the benefit to other secret laws. The more secret laws there are, the stronger the power fed back to the fundamental law.

This is Xu Yang's unique Taoist foundation of "All Stars Supporting the Moon", but he prefers to call it the Taoist foundation of all laws.

"The foundation of Taoism has been condensed to the limit and is about to undergo a qualitative change. The river cart will then explode, and an origin will be formed after the explosion. The origin is very small and glows, like a black bead in the water or a yellow bud in the soil. This is the first elixir." Zhao Ziyan's words echoed in Xu Yang's ears.

This origin is very small, and is the beginning of the great golden elixir, also called the first elixir.

Rather than calling it the initial elixir, it is better to say that it is the intermediate state between the golden elixir and the foundation-building state. Therefore, with Xu Yang's talent in the Taiyin body, it is not difficult for him to enter this realm.

Looking at the twinkling stars, Xu Yang had an idea.

"The energy is almost enough. Why not learn more secret techniques to increase the number of stars in the foundation of the Myriad Laws?"

It is not necessary to practice all of these spells to perfection when learning them. Just give them a start and allow stars to be born within your foundation. At worst, you don't need to practice further.

"feasible."

Afterwards, Xu Yang took out the secret methods of various sects.

The Five Ghosts Technique, the Water Ball Technique, the Ghost Raising Technique, the Poison Water Curse, the Poison Wind Curse, the Taiyin Wheel Curse, the Snake Controlling Technique...

There are dozens or even hundreds of Dharma lineages.

The nebulae in the body are bright, like the flowing Milky Way, the authentic Purple Palace.

In the outside world, Xu Yang’s body radiates azure starlight.

The whole person looks like a sculpture made of ice and jade.

boom! !

The galaxy exploded, and the lower dantian was filled with brilliant white light.

The white light rushed straight to Kunlun, and the empty Kunlun was opened up again, and the divine consciousness grew rapidly.

If you wish to remain immortal, cultivate Kunlun.

When the soul becomes strong enough and the spiritual fetus enters Kunlun, it becomes a spiritual fetus earth immortal.

After a long time, the light in the lower dantian disappeared again.

Darkness returns, and eternal solitude.

Suddenly, a grain of light as small as a grain of rice jumped out from the depths of the dark dantian.

Like black pearls at the bottom of the dark water, yellow buds sprouting in the soil.

All spells undergo a qualitative change.

Boom boom boom...

The powerful aura shot straight into the sky, but was intercepted by the Yellow Springs Ghost Formation.

The Taoist temple was shaken.

"The master has made another breakthrough?"

“How many years has it been since you broke through?”

"The master has achieved the first stage of Dan!"

Everyone was talking about it. Xu Yang opened his eyes and the divine light slowly faded.

Heche Palace Health Preservation Secret Scroll - First Dan Chapter (Introduction 1/3000)

The amount of true Qi now is equivalent to ten of his previous selves. Just as he had thought before, his abilities in all aspects have been enhanced. The number of zombies he can control is as high as one thousand, which is dozens of times that of cultivators at the same level.

As for the breakthrough to the first level, he didn't feel anything. After all, it was a natural thing.

His benchmark is the ancient Journey to the West period.

Creating your own power is not for the purpose of showing off.

Instead, they are looking for the ancient Taoist traditions of the Journey to the West, most of which have become ownerless; the supreme scriptures that Sun Wukong had to cross the ocean and Tang Monk had to kowtow three times in one step to obtain, perhaps they can be easily obtained in this era.

This is the best time.

"Anyway, I'm considered one of the top experts in this area." Xu Yang smiled easily.

He did not intend to reveal his own realm and give others a surprise at the critical moment.
