Chapter 291 Buddha Dharma Wheel Li Shimin! Refining the Magic Pill
The world of immortality, the city of death.
This ancient and mysterious city is shrouded in gray fog all year round, as if it is isolated from the world.
The city was dead silent, with only the sound of the wind echoing in the empty streets. Li Shimin stood in front of the gate of the dead city, looking up at the artifact hanging above the gate - the Buddha's Dharma Wheel.
The Falun was golden in color, with ancient Sanskrit characters engraved on its surface, emitting a faint Buddha light. Li Shimin felt the tremendous power contained in the Falun and was deeply shocked.
"Is this the sacred artifact left by Buddha?" Li Shimin murmured in a low voice, with a hint of heat in his eyes.
He leaped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the Falun, and immediately, a vast power surged into his body.
Li Shimin only felt that his meridians were washed by a warm force, and his cultivation level instantly soared. His aura rose steadily, and soon he broke through the original shackles and reached a new realm.
"What a powerful force!" Li Shimin clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, his heart filled with excitement.
However, he quickly calmed down. He knew that even though his strength had greatly improved, there was still a huge gap between him and Qin Shuang.
"Qin Shuang... How powerful are you?" Li Shimin whispered to himself, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
He looked up into the distance, as if he could see the scene of the Tianqin world through layers of fog. There was his homeland, his people, and his unfinished hegemony.
"I'm not strong enough... not enough!"
"Qin Shuang! When I return, I will defeat you fairly and take back everything that belongs to me."
Li Shimin clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination.
He turned and walked into the depths of the dead city and began to practice in seclusion.
In the dead city, time seemed to stand still, with only Li Shimin's figure walking through the ancient streets.
He continued to absorb the death energy and Buddha's light in the dead city, fusing the two completely different forces together and using them for his own benefit.
day to day.
Li Shimin's strength continued to increase, and his aura became deeper and deeper, like a volcano about to erupt, containing the power to destroy the world.
However, even so, he still felt inadequate.
"It's not enough...it's not enough!" Li Shimin roared in a low voice, his eyes full of madness.
He knew that he had to become stronger to be qualified to fight Qin Shuang. He continued to practice and constantly broke through his limits.
Deep in the dead city, Li Shimin's figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness. His aura became more and more terrifying, like a dormant beast, ready to break out of its cage at any time.
In the world of immortality, in a fairy mountain hall shrouded in clouds and mist, Master Jingyi and Dini were sitting cross-legged on an ancient stone platform.
Although their faces were still dignified, there was a hint of fatigue and anxiety between their brows.
"The Taoist tradition has been cut off...the incense in the lower world is gone!" Master Jingyi murmured in a low voice, her tone full of anger and unwillingness.
Di Ni sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Qin Shuang is a very capable person. He not only unified the lower world, but also killed all our believers. Now, the incense power that we rely on for advancement has been cut off."
Nun Jingyi clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms: "Qin Shuang... this guy is really abominable! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Dini shook his head and whispered, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in getting angry. The only way now is to find another way to break free from the shackles."
Nun Jingyi sneered, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm: "Find another way? Easier said than done! The power of incense is the foundation of our advancement. Now that the incense is cut off, our cultivation has stagnated."
Di Ni was silent for a moment, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Perhaps... we can use the power of Li Shimin."
"Li Shimin?" Master Jingyi frowned slightly. "The boy who practiced in the dead city?"
Di Ni nodded, with a bit of expectation in his tone: "Yes. Li Shimin is a man of extraordinary talent and determination. He is now training in the Dead City, and his strength has greatly improved. If he can go down to the world, perhaps he can regain the incense for us."
"Well, we can only look forward to him."
Master Jingyi nodded and said.
If she and the master were to go to the lower world, it would cause too much damage to their own realm. Letting Li Shimin go down is the best option.
Li Shimin has a grudge against Qin Shuang, so he is not afraid of falling in realm!
It was dark at the Tianxiahui headquarters.
Qin Shuang stood on the high platform, looking into the distance, thinking about the next plan. Nangong Wan walked over slowly, holding a jade slip in her hand, with a bit of concern between her eyebrows.
"Qin Shuang, what are you thinking about?" Nangong Wan asked softly, with a hint of tenderness in her tone.
Qin Shuang came back to his senses, turned to look at Nangong Wan, and smiled slightly: "Wan'er, the body-building technique I've been practicing recently requires a kind of Golden Sun Grass, but unfortunately I haven't found it anywhere."
Nangong Wan frowned slightly when she heard this, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Golden Sun Grass? I do remember that there was an auction in Tiannan that only Jindan-stage cultivators could participate in. Maybe there is some there."
Qin Shuang's eyes flashed with joy: "Oh? Tiannan's auction? Where exactly is it?"
Nangong Wan gently pushed him away, took out a jade slip from her sleeve, and handed it to Qin Shuang: "This is an invitation to the auction, which will be held in Tiannan City in three days. If you want to go, I will go with you."
Qin Shuang took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense. As expected, he saw the detailed information of the auction. He looked up at Nangong Wan with a smile in his eyes: "Wan'er is indeed my lucky star."
Nangong Wan blushed and whispered, "Stop talking nonsense. However, this auction is full of experts, so you have to be careful."
Qin Shuang nodded, with a bit of confidence in his tone: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Nangong Wan glanced at him, then suddenly reached out and gently stroked his cheek, whispering, "You are always like this, making me worry."
Qin Shuang held her hand and whispered, "With you here, I will be careful."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Qin Shuang lowered his head and kissed Nangong Wan's lips. Nangong Wan was slightly startled, and then closed her eyes.
Three days later, Tiannan City.
Tiannan City is located in the southeast of the Mortal Cultivation World, and is a prosperous city for cultivating immortals. There are tall buildings in the city, people coming and going on the streets, and cultivators flying on swords or riding spirit beasts, making it very lively.
Nangong Wan was wearing a lavender dress, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her temperament was cold but with a hint of charm. She held Qin Shuang's arm, and the two walked side by side on the streets of Tiannan City, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
"Qin Shuang, there are many rare items at this auction, especially the Golden Sun Grass, which is extremely important for your body training. We must get it." Nangong Wan said softly, with some anticipation in her tone.
Qin Shuang nodded, his eyes deep: "Wan'er, don't worry, I am determined to get the Golden Sun Grass."
The two turned into two long rainbows and walked forward, and soon arrived at the auction venue. This was a magnificent building, and several Jindan-stage guards stood at the door with solemn expressions. After Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan showed their invitations, they entered the venue smoothly.
The venue was crowded with people, and the monks were sitting or standing, talking in low voices. Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan found a seat near the front and sat down, quietly waiting for the auction to begin. A moment later, the auction officially began. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked up to the platform and said loudly: "Welcome all Taoist friends to this auction. Today's auction items are all rare items. I hope all Taoist friends will bid enthusiastically."
As he finished speaking, the first item was brought up. It was a crystal-clear long sword, which exuded a faint chill. It was obviously an extraordinary magic weapon.
"The Frost Sword, starting price is one thousand spirit stones!" the middle-aged man announced loudly.
The venue was immediately filled with bidding sounds. Qin Shuang was not interested in these magic weapons, but just quietly waited for the appearance of the Golden Sun Grass.
Finally, halfway through the auction, the Golden Sun Grass was brought up. It was a golden spiritual grass with a faint glow on its leaves, which clearly contained powerful spiritual power.
"Golden Sun Grass, starting price is five thousand spirit stones!" the middle-aged man announced loudly.
Qin Shuang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he raised the sign without hesitation: "Six thousand spirit stones!"
The venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Qin Shuang with surprise in their eyes. Although the Golden Sun Grass was precious, the price of 6,000 spirit stones was beyond the expectations of many people.
However, at this moment, a cold voice came from the back of the venue: "Seven thousand spirit stones!"
Qin Shuang frowned slightly and turned around to see a middle-aged man in a black robe looking at him coldly. The man had a sinister look, a fierce look between his brows, and a cold aura all over his body. He was obviously a master of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
"Wang Tianyun from the Ghost Spirit Sect!" Nangong Wan said in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in her tone.
Wang Tianyun is a cultivator of the Ghost Spirit Sect in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. He is powerful and ruthless. The ghost technique he practices is extremely strange and can control ghosts and spirits, making it difficult to guard against. His appearance immediately made the atmosphere in the venue tense.
Qin Shuang sneered and raised the sign again: "Eight thousand spirit stones!"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Tianyun's eyes, and he raised the price again: "Nine thousand spirit stones!"
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath and watched the fierce bidding.
Qin Shuang did not back down and raised the sign again: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
Wang Tianyun's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He looked at Qin Shuang coldly and whispered, "Boy, do you know the consequences of offending my Ghost Spirit Sect?"
Qin Shuang smiled calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "At the auction, the highest bidder wins. If you can't afford the price, please leave."
Wang Tianyun's face turned pale when he heard this. He snorted coldly and stopped raising the price.
In the end, the Golden Sun Grass was bought by Qin Shuang for ten thousand spirit stones.
After the auction ended, Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan were stopped by Wang Tianyun as soon as they walked out of the venue.
"Boy, you are very brave." Wang Tianyun looked at Qin Shuang coldly, his tone full of threats.
Qin Shuang smiled calmly, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "Fellow Daoist Wang, what advice do you have?"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Wang Tianyun's eyes, and he whispered: "Golden Sun Grass is what my Ghost Spirit Sect needs. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently, otherwise..."
Qin Shuang sneered and interrupted him: "What else?"
"Humph!"
Wang Tianyun looked at Nangong Wan coldly, then turned and left.
"Wan'er, let's go into the city and make the elixir first!"
Qin Shuang thought for a moment and said.
His current physical strength is comparable to that of a Jindan
If one advances the Immortal Divine Body, perhaps he will become even stronger, reaching the peak of the Golden Core Stage, or even be comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage.
In the fairy city of southern Tian, the night is deep.
After Qin Shuang and Nangong Wan left the auction, they did not leave Tiannan City immediately.
They knew that Wang Tianyun of the Ghost Spirit Sect would never let them go easily. In order to avoid an ambush on the road, the two decided to stay in Tiannan City temporarily to refine the Golden Body Nirvana Pill.
"Qin Shuang, Wang Tianyun is a sinister and cunning person. We need to be careful." Nangong Wan said in a low voice, with a hint of worry in her tone.
Qin Shuang nodded, his eyes deep: "Wan'er, don't worry, I know what to do. Let's find a safe place first and refine the Golden Body Nirvana Pill. By then, my strength will be greatly improved."
The two found a secret cave in Tiannan City, rented it, and began to prepare for alchemy. In the cave, Qin Shuang took out the Golden Sun Grass and other necessary spiritual medicines and placed them next to the alchemy furnace.
"The refining of the Golden Body Nirvana Pill is extremely complicated. It requires Golden Sun Grass as the main ingredient, supplemented by nineteen kinds of rare spiritual medicines to make the pill." Qin Shuang said in a low voice, with a serious tone in his voice.
Nangong Wan nodded and said softly: "I will protect you, you can concentrate on refining the elixir."
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, reached out and gently stroked Nangong Wan's cheek, and whispered: "With you here, I feel at ease."
After saying that, Qin Shuang sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, pinched his hands, and began to refine the Golden Body Nirvana Pill. His spiritual consciousness poured into the alchemy furnace like a tide, controlling the temperature of the flame and the fusion of the spiritual medicine.
Qin Shuang took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and the flames in the alchemy furnace suddenly rose. He threw the Golden Sun Grass into the furnace, and the flames instantly enveloped it. The Golden Sun Grass gradually melted under the high temperature and turned into a ball of golden liquid.
"The medicinal properties of Golden Sun Grass are extremely overbearing. It needs to be slowly refined with a gentle flame, otherwise the medicinal properties will be lost." Qin Shuang said in a low voice, with a hint of caution in his tone.
Nangong Wan stood aside, her expression focused, always alert to the movements around her. She knew that the process of refining the elixir was extremely critical, and any carelessness would lead to failure.
Qin Shuang's consciousness was as smooth as a thread, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame. The golden liquid transformed from the Golden Sun Grass flowed slowly in the flame, emitting a rich spiritual power fluctuation.
"Next are nineteen kinds of auxiliary medicines." Qin Shuang said in a low voice, and put the nine rare spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace one by one.
The input of each spiritual medicine requires precise control of the temperature of the flame and the time of refining. Qin Shuang's consciousness poured into the alchemy furnace like a tide, perfectly blending the medicinal properties of each spiritual medicine.
As time passed, the temperature in the cave gradually increased, and the aroma of medicine came from the alchemy furnace. Nangong Wan stood aside, looking focused, always alert to the movements around her.
"Qin Shuang, how long does the alchemy process take?" Nangong Wan asked softly, with some concern in her tone.
Qin Shuang closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "About three days. Wan'er, if you are tired, take a rest first."
Nangong Wan shook her head and said softly: "I'm not tired. It's my duty to protect you."
Qin Shuang smiled slightly, his heart full of warmth. He knew that Nangong Wan's concern for him far exceeded everything else.
On the third day, the medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace had completely merged and turned into a ball of golden liquid. Qin Shuang's consciousness was as smooth as a thread, carefully controlling the condensation of the liquid.
"Concentrate!" Qin Shuang shouted in a low voice and suddenly clasped his hands together.
In the alchemy furnace, the golden liquid suddenly shrank and turned into a crystal clear pill. A faint golden light flowed on the surface of the pill, emitting a strong spiritual power fluctuation. (End of this chapter)
