Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 211: Gathering the Sea into a Pill
Gu Xiaoxing is a man of action. He doesn't like to wait and always does things as soon as he thinks of them. Even though he knows that it is really difficult to condense nine golden pills, since he has chosen this path, he will go on.
Gu Xiaoxing has never been afraid of difficulties. In all his practice so far, how many things can he accomplish easily?
Gu Xiaoxing knows very well that if he does not find a way to overcome the current difficulties, the next time he encounters difficulties, it will only be more difficult. Difficulties will always come. He can avoid them once or twice, but not three or four times. In the end, he will be overwhelmed by the difficulties and turn into despair.
Gu Xiaoxing is afraid of despair, so he has to face difficulties!
Without any martial arts as a reference, he can only rely on himself. In his lower dantian, the nine-layer condensed sea is as vast as an abyss, dotted with countless light stars, and it looks like a starry sky. These light stars emit traces of sword intent. With just a thought, he can condense countless star swords in an instant.
What Gu Xiaoxing has to do is to gather the nine layers of sea filled with sword energy into pills one by one!
After thinking for a while, Gu Xiaoxing didn't have any better idea, so he could only choose the most clumsy and traditional method of forming the elixir!
One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. It is obviously impossible to form a pill in the nine levels of sea condensation at the same time, so Gu Xiaoxing chose to complete the formation of the first level of sea condensation first!
Under Gu Xiaoxing's control, his first level of condensed sea began to rotate. At this moment, there was no need to activate the Soul Devouring Divine Ability. As the condensed sea rotated, a vortex of cultivation immediately formed around Gu Xiaoxing, and began to continuously absorb the power of cultivation on the cushion!
These cultivation powers are extremely pure, reaching the peak of the late stage of Jindan, which is just right for Gu Xiaoxing now. His mind and consciousness are frantically pushing the first level of condensed sea in his lower dantian. As its rotation speed becomes faster and faster, Gu Xiaoxing's speed of absorbing the cultivation power of the cushion is also getting faster and faster.
Gradually, a huge vortex formed both inside and outside Gu Xiaoxing's body, echoing each other!
On the side, Qiao Yanran looked at Gu Xiaoxing in surprise. The young master was obviously just in the process of forming the golden core, but he had a feeling of great perfection. Ordinary cultivators would only have such a movement when they broke through and entered the great perfection of forming the golden core!
Inside Gu Xiaoxing's body, the first layer of the sea of condensation was spinning faster and faster, madly devouring the power of cultivation pouring in from the outside, but the volume of the entire sea of condensation was shrinking, and gradually, a core was formed in the center of the vortex of the sea of condensation!
This core is like the embryonic pill in the middle dantian, but Gu Xiaoxing wants not only the embryonic pill, he wants the real pill. He exerts force again, and the rotation speed of both the condensed sea vortex and the embryonic pill in the center increases dramatically at this moment, even causing the entire dantian to be slightly distorted.
Gu Xiaoxing knew that this was already the limit and it couldn't go any faster. At the same time, his spiritual power was being consumed rapidly, but the power of cultivation in his body was rising rapidly. Especially as the vortex of the condensed sea became smaller and smaller, the golden core in the center became larger and larger, and began to emit a heart-pounding breath!
This is the unique aura of Jindan!
Before this, even though Gu Xiaoxing's lower dantian had reached the late stage of Jindan, foundation building was just foundation building and he could not possess the potential to form a Jindan. However, all this changed at this moment!
When the first layer of the condensed sea in Gu Xiaoxing's lower dantian completely shrank, and when only a round golden core was left rotating there, a power far exceeding that of an ordinary Jindan cultivator suddenly erupted.
The early stage of Dan formation!
"It's done!"
Qiao Yanran said in surprise, her feeling was the most peculiar, the young master was obviously only in the initial stage of Jindan, but the power he burst out in that instant was not inferior to her who was in the great perfection of Jindan!
Gu Xiaoxing took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. Even though he had successfully formed a pill, his eyes were filled with fatigue. Forcing the pill to form in such a clumsy way would consume too much of his spiritual power.
If Fang Qingyun had not used a secret method to utilize the residual soul of Cang Jiuding to help Gu Xiaoxing strengthen his soul, he might not have been able to complete the Jindan this time. After all Ninghai was at the late Jindan level!
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. At this moment, in Gu Xiaoxing's lower dantian, there was an eight-fold condensed sea and a golden elixir. This also meant that his lower dantian had truly entered the initial stage of dan formation. When he gathered the remaining eight-fold condensed sea into a golden elixir, that would be the time when he achieved the great perfection of dan formation!
Seeing that the young master had woken up with eyes full of fatigue, Qiao Yanran hurried forward and took out a spiritual spring to feed Gu Xiaoxing. This was a nourishing spring, which she had bought in Yu Jian City not long ago. It could relieve fatigue very well and was also beneficial for the recovery of the soul.
After taking a few gulps, Gu Xiaoxing finally felt a little better. Then he rested for a while and finally got rid of the discomfort completely.
"Master, are we still going to make it to the Sixth Sword?" Qiao Yanran asked. She knew that in the passage of the Sixth Sword, those lightsabers must have a strength equivalent to that of the Great Perfection of the Core Formation. The entire passage had seven hundred and twenty-nine Great Perfections of the Core Formation. Even if Qiao Yanran was as powerful as she could, she would not dare to say that she could make it.
"Of course I have to break in. Have you forgotten what I said? Don't worry, the young master will protect you in the future!" Gu Xiaoxing said proudly. The huge improvement in his strength made him full of confidence at the moment. He thought that there was no way he would be slapped in the face!
Qiao Yanran covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Gu Xiaoxing immediately became unhappy, glared at him, and said, "You don't believe me?"
"Believe! Of course Yanran believes you, sir!" Qiao Yanran answered decisively. She was afraid that she would be ambushed if she answered slowly.
This time, Gu Xiaoxing indeed saw a little bit of trust in Qiao Yanran's eyes. Although it was only a little bit, it already made Gu Xiaoxing very satisfied. So he pulled her into his arms and gave her some verbal praise.
Qiao Yanran was helpless. She didn't expect that the young master would not launch a sneak attack this time, but would use strong attack instead. Resistance was futile and she could only obey. In the end, she was praised so much that her face turned red and she fell limp in his arms.
When Gu Xiaoxing raised his head and saw Qiao Yanran's intoxicated look, he thought to himself that it was a good thing that he was a cultivator with a firm faith in Taoism. Ahem... he knew that this was not the place to whisper. Otherwise, he would definitely reward her even more!
Qiao Yanran also took the opportunity to break free from Gu Xiaoxing's arms. She was the one with a truly firm heart in the Tao. Not being faithful to someone was just an excuse. If she was not forced by the situation, she would never have accepted such praise in such a place. But there was no way. Qiao Yanran had no resistance to the person who praised her!
Gu Xiaoxing's lower dantian broke through the dantian stage and absorbed a huge amount of cultivation power, but at this moment, there is still some of it on the "皆"-shaped cushion. This shows how rich the cultivation power contained in this place is.
Based on the principle of not wasting, Gu Xiaoxing devoured all the cultivation power here before he and Qiao Yanran entered the light gate behind the futon and headed for the Sixth Sword!
