After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 782 The Golden Body of Dharma Form Technique is Completed, and the Dharma Form is Condensed! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Chen Yang reached out and pulled open the drawer, inside which lay five pills.

Two of them were charred black, one was slightly charred black, and the remaining two were a vibrant red.

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that two of them were ruined during the refining process, and the remaining one is in a semi-ruined state.

What is the success rate?

40? 60?

Or is it half and half?
Even if we assume it's a 50/50 split, it's not unacceptable for Chen Yang.

After all, the Gathering Spirit Pill was of a high grade, and his success in refining it was already beyond his expectations.

With further optimization of the process and instructions, the success rate should be able to be improved.

The current success rate of pill formation is even higher than Chen Yang's.

After all, Chen Yang had been refining Gathering Spirit Pills recently, but one batch after another exploded, almost causing his mentality to collapse.

As for the quality, after being appraised by the Three Corpse Divine Tree, they were all classified as low-grade, similar to the water refined by Chen Yang, and were roughly equal.

This stove is still useful.

As the saying goes, technology changes lives. For Chen Yang, this success rate of pill formation is not a waste of medicinal materials. If he can maintain this success rate, he can even save a lot of medicinal materials.

In the future, some low-level pills can be refined using this furnace, saving both time and effort.

He can then dedicate more time to learning and refining higher-level elixirs.

Aunt Xiao is right. If we rely too much on this furnace and use it for too long, it will definitely lead to a decline in our alchemy skills.

To improve one's alchemy skills, a lot of hands-on practice is still necessary.

The elixir is refined in the furnace, and the furnace exists between heaven and earth.

Chen Yang also longed for that state of mind where one had no furnace in hand but a furnace in heart, and everything could be a furnace.

"Elder Tree, do you think there really is someone whose skill in alchemy can reach that level?" Chen Yang asked.

"Ah."

The Three Corpse Divine Tree chuckled. "Probably. The old tortoise back then was extremely skilled in alchemy. He could refine very high-quality pills using an extremely ordinary alchemy furnace. I once asked it about the highest level of alchemy, and it said it didn't know. It would tell me when it could refine a top-grade pill with the palm of its hand..."

Chen Yang's face twitched.

Refining elixirs with the palm of one's hand?
It's more like a joke, like someone saying they'll fry an egg in your palm for you.

However, who can be sure that what it says is impossible?

For ordinary people, frying an egg in the palm of their hand is simply a fantasy, but for cultivators, it is not impossible.

Ultimately, it comes down to a limited perspective. If you haven't reached that level, you'll naturally find it ridiculous, absurd, and beyond your comprehension.

Therefore, perhaps there really is someone who can refine elixirs with their palms.

Chen Yang shook his head. That realm was too far away; he dared not even think about it, nor could he imagine it.

"When are we going to Mount Si'e?" the Three Corpse Divine Tree asked.

Both it and the Five Thunder Immortal were somewhat impatient.

"Not urgent."

Chen Yang shook his head.

"What are you waiting for?" asked the Five Thunder Immortal.

Chen Yang said, "I want to master the 'Dharma Body Golden Body Technique' first."

Chen Yang's Dharma Body Technique has never been fully mastered. He had only achieved minor success in his cultivation on Mount Emei.

Because of his state of mind, Xuanjing asked him to suppress it for the time being. Now his state of mind has improved a lot. When Xuanjing came a few days ago, Chen Yang also asked him about this issue.

After learning that Chen Yang possessed the Heart-Refining Pill, a elixir that could enhance one's mental state, he told Chen Yang that he could try to master the "Dharma Body Golden Body Technique."

If an unexpected event occurs due to one's state of mind, one can take the Heart Refining Pill and use the opportunity of breaking through the Golden Body Technique to neutralize the medicinal power of the Heart Refining Pill. In this way, one can ignore the restriction that one can only take one Heart Refining Pill every half month.

There's a good chance we can use this opportunity to elevate his mindset significantly.

Chen Yang was, of course, extremely eager to try it.

Although the trip to Mount Si'e is said to be safe, no one knows what might happen. To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. It's not too late to improve our skills before going.

The Five Thunder Immortal said, "To master your Golden Body Dharma Form Technique, it will likely consume a considerable amount of energy. Can you afford it?"

"I still have some spirit cores left, and besides, my Medicine King Elixir-Melting Wine has been soaking for so long, it's time to take it out and have it appraised..."

He has no shortage of energy.

He has been soaking the Medicine King Elixir Wine for a long time, and has only drunk it once. At that time, it hadn't been soaking for long, but the medicinal effect was already very strong. Now that he's taken it out to drink, it will definitely be even more potent.

That wine contained the energy of a dragon's inner core, which he obtained from the treasure of Mixiangou, a thunder core left behind by a dragon that almost successfully transformed into a dragon.

Having survived the Heavenly Tribulation, it can already be considered a Dragon Essence.

The fact that such a treasure could attract figures like Chen Qiaogu and Huanglong Zhenren suggests just how terrifying its energy must be.

Moreover, Chen Yang also possessed a considerable number of S-grade inner cores, as well as a magical herb called Jiao Li.

Achieving a perfect golden body is not a problem at all.

Once the Golden Body is fully mastered, its activation should increase physical strength by at least 20%.

He currently possesses a physique of over 400 grades, with pure physical strength equivalent to the power of one dragon. With the aid of true essence, weapons, and other resources, under extreme conditions, the power of two to three dragons is easily attainable. At this moment, when he activates the Golden Body, his physique doubles, meaning he can be said to have at least the power of five dragons.

The limit might be the power of six dragons.

Once the Golden Body is fully formed, his physical strength will increase by about 20%, meaning that his maximum physical strength can reach the power of seven to eight dragons.

Such power is enough to go toe-to-toe with a powerhouse in the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

Of course, if the other party is a body cultivator, then that's a different story.

Last night, during his battle with Zhang Qingquan, Chen Yang could sense that while Zhang's physical strength was indeed stronger than his, it wasn't by much; he was probably only around the seventh or eighth level of the Seven Dragons realm.

Therefore, Chen Yang felt that as long as he could master the Golden Body, he would be able to directly confront a cultivator in the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

This excludes some physically powerful cultivators and those with excessively powerful primordial spirits.

"How long will it take?" the Three Corpse Divine Tree asked.

"It shouldn't be long, my breakthroughs have always been very rapid."

Chen Yang wasn't sure, but he figured it wouldn't be long. "I'll adjust my state tonight, and tomorrow we'll go up the mountain to find a secluded place..."

……

Chen Yang went to bed early that night.

-

Silent all night.

According to the almanac, the Yellow Emperor married Leizu on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, and Tang Sanzang also dried his scriptures on this day after returning from his pilgrimage to the West.

Today is the day when the Heavenly Official bestows blessings; there are no taboos, and everything is auspicious.

There was no moon last night, the jar didn't cause any more trouble, and Chen Yang didn't have that strange dream again. He slept soundly until dawn.

After having a quick breakfast, Chen Yang went up the mountain.

This time he is going to complete the golden body, and when that happens, he will inevitably release his aura and make quite a commotion, which is obviously inappropriate in the village.

Go up the mountain and find a quiet place so as not to disturb the general public.

The sky was overcast, as if it was about to rain. It was cool and pleasant in the mountains.

The cicadas and birds in the mountains are already busy at work, and the air is filled with their calls, making it as lively as a market.

Chen Yang went straight into the deep mountains, and after thinking it over, he arrived at Old Ghost Forest.

The forest remained eerie and gloomy, with all sorts of strangely shaped trees baring their claws. There was a thin mist in the early morning, and birds would occasionally fly by, startling people and creating a very terrifying atmosphere.

The old locust tree still stands there, its branches and leaves lush and its trunk seemingly thicker than ever before.

Chen Yang had given it a lot of [plant growth essence], and the big locust tree had clearly benefited a lot during this period.

However, it is clearly still some distance from the Creation Realm.

This old locust tree, although it is several hundred years old, has not been sentient for very long. Moreover, it grows alone in the deep mountains, without anyone to guide it. Its cultivation depends entirely on its own exploration, so its growth rate is naturally very slow.

A flock of sparrows hopped around on the branches of the old locust tree. As Chen Yang approached, they showed no sign of leaving.

Chen Yang glanced at them and saw that there were quite a few. Including those in other parts of the forest, there were at least several hundred. Among them, about a dozen had unusual mental strength and had clearly developed spiritual awareness.

The area under the old locust tree was covered in bird droppings.

"Old Huai, do you have a new friend?" Chen Yang asked.

These sparrows seem to get along quite well with the old locust tree.

It wasn't feeling lonely, was it? With so many sparrows chirping and chattering, it probably couldn't feel lonely even if it wanted to. "Hey, these little guys seem to be from out of town. I don't know what their accents are, I can't understand them very well, but it's lively and nice."

The old locust tree smiled, clearly less depressed than before.

Sparrows from out of town?

Chen Yang was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Don't you all communicate on a spiritual level? Even sparrows have accents?"
"Why did you come up the mountain so early?"

The big locust tree asked curiously.

Chen Yang explained the situation to him.

"Practice your skills? Here you can. It's quiet here and no one will bother you. I'll keep an eye on things for you," the big locust tree said.

"I think I'd better go somewhere else."

Chen Yang shook his head, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then headed towards Centipede Ridge.

He originally planned to break through in the Old Ghost Forest. This place was secluded and eerie, and not a single person would come here for half a year, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.

But even if people don't bother you, the birds will.

With so many sparrows dominating this place, and bird droppings everywhere, Chen Yang felt a bit disgusted.

……

Chen Yang went directly to the top of Centipede Ridge.

There are far fewer centipedes and venomous insects on the mountain now.

The steep mountainside was covered with thorns, and at the top of the mountain was a narrow platform, which was lush with greenery and covered with raspberries.

Raspberries, locally known as "diangupao'er," typically ripen during the rice planting season. The fruits are small, red, and resemble small strawberries, with a sweet and sour taste.

It tastes good and has some medicinal value, but it's a bit of a hassle to pick.

Raspberry branches have many barbs that can easily prick you if you're not careful.

Chen Yang came here when he was capturing the Solomon's Seal King, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the brambles, a few red and green fruits hung scattered about. Chen Yang casually picked some, put them in his mouth, and gently sipped them. Juice burst out, sweet and sour, just like the taste he remembered.

He cleared out a clean area and immediately sat down cross-legged.

After a moment of meditation, he took out a Creation Core and swallowed it directly.

If others saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

The inner elixir is a physical entity formed from the condensation of essence, qi, and spirit. It should be understood that the essence, qi, and spirit of each individual are different. The energy in the inner elixir is undoubtedly a foreign energy to individuals outside the body.

This energy is not only enormous but also complex. If you swallow it directly, even if you are of the same level, the enormous energy will be released before you have time to refine it. It will rupture your meridians and cause your body to bleed out in an instant. At best, you will be injured; at worst, you will die.

For a cultivator like Chen Yang, who is at the Creation Realm, to directly consume a Creation Realm inner core is tantamount to courting death.

However, Chen Yang did not have such concerns.

His physique was already strong, and he was confident that he could withstand the energy impact of the elixir within the Creation Realm.

As for refining energy, he was even more adept at it.

As soon as the inner elixir entered his abdomen, he immediately activated the "Five Contemplations of Food Preservation Technique" to quickly digest the energy within the inner elixir, transforming it into pure essence, which then merged into his blood, condensed into essence, and was transported to his Purple Mansion.

Continue refining essence into qi, qi into spirit, and spirit into emptiness, and soon true essence will be condensed.

The true essence gathered, growing larger and larger like a snowball. When a certain amount was stored, Chen Yang immediately opened the gates of the Three Jiaos and released the water.

The surging true energy immediately rushed down, sweeping away everything in its path, advancing triumphantly along the cultivation route of the "Dharma Image Golden Body Technique".

Chen Yang's "Dharma Body Golden Body Technique" has been partially mastered. When he broke through to the Creation Realm in Emei, he had already used the power of heavenly thunder to connect seventeen of the eighteen cultivation paths of the Golden Body.

Now, only the last path of practice remains to be completed.

However, according to the manual, this last practice route is actually the most difficult to complete. It connects a total of 108 acupoints, many of which are fatal or hidden acupoints. It requires an enormous amount of energy, much more than the total energy consumed by the previous seventeen practice routes.

However, if this meridian is opened and the golden body is fully formed, the benefits gained are also very obvious.

First, physical strength can be greatly improved. In the Golden Body state, the Golden Body at the Great Completion level is about 20% stronger than the Golden Body at the Lesser Completion level.

Secondly, after the golden body is fully formed, the entire body is connected, and the Dharma image can be condensed.

Why is this practice called "Dharma Image Golden Body Technique"?
The focus is not on the golden body, but on the Dharma form. As one's cultivation deepens in the future, the Dharma form will also grow. For every bit of growth in cultivation, the Dharma form will grow taller by an inch.

The Dharma Image is not merely a phantom that looks fierce and is used to intimidate people. It also possesses the ability to inflict physical damage. Moreover, with the cultivation of the "Dharma Image Golden Body Technique," the power of the Dharma Image will continue to increase, even surpassing the power of the original body, making it extremely powerful.

Chen Yang was very much looking forward to this.

The manual only provides textual descriptions; the specific form of the Dharma will only be known after he has mastered the technique.

"Rumble..."

The surging energy poured down, traversing all seventeen energy pathways, widening the meridians considerably, while also consuming a significant amount of energy.

Upon arriving at the eighteenth exercise route, knock on the first acupoint.

True essence is like the tide, constantly surging.

The energy was rapidly depleted, and finally, after most of it was used up, the first acupoint was opened, and then a path was opened to move towards the second acupoint.

The road had only been half-paved when the true essence was almost depleted.

Chen Yang frowned slightly; the exertion was indeed enormous.

One pill from the Realm of Creation only opened one acupoint.

It's important to know that there are 108 acupoints along this exercise route.

Although some acupoints have already been opened, what truly consumes energy is opening up the connection routes between these acupoints.

He still has 8 pills from the Creation Realm and 2 pills from the Dao Realm.

Chen Yang assessed his physical body's endurance and swallowed all eight Creation Realm Pills at once.

At this moment, he was in his golden body state, his physique was incredibly strong, and absorbing the energy of these creation inner cores was no problem for him.

As for the problem of mixed energy, it is not a problem at all in the face of the "Five Contemplations on Food Preservation". Anyway, it does not go directly through the meridians, but is digested into pure blood essence and qi.

……

At the mountaintop, Chen Yang sat cross-legged, his body shimmering with a faint golden light, like a deity.

More than an hour later, the eight Creation Realm Pills were completely digested, and the effect was quite significant. With the timely delivery of some energy from the Gluttonous Gu, they managed to open up fifteen acupoints in one go.

But there were only fifteen.

This is energy-consuming too.

Chen Yang took out a Dao True Realm Pill, ready to pull off a big heist.

He had killed quite a few Dao True Realm spirit insects and spirit beasts, but the inner cores he could obtain were pitifully few.

Generally, beings at the Dao True Realm have their primordial spirit hidden within their inner core, forming a Dao embryo. Once the primordial spirit is destroyed, the Dao embryo self-destructs, rarely leaving an opportunity for you to take advantage of the situation by leaving behind an inner core.

One of these two inner cores was given to him by Xuan Jing when he left that day.

Xuanjing knew that achieving the Golden Body required consuming a huge amount of energy, so this was considered a sponsorship for him.

However, Xuan Jing probably didn't know that the energy consumed would be so enormous.

Both inner cores belong to the early stage of the Dao True Realm.

Compared to pills within the Creation Realm, they are fundamentally different; the sheer amount of energy they contain is far beyond what pills within the Creation Realm can match.

"Taking an inner core beyond your level is tantamount to courting death. Have you thought this through? If something goes wrong, we won't be able to save you," Wu Lei Zhenren warned.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a fierce person.

"fine."

Without saying a word, Chen Yang swallowed the inner core.

Before long, flames blazed in his abdomen. Chen Yang shuddered, golden light appeared on his body, and his face turned bright red instantly.

As expected, the inner core of the Dao True Realm is still the most powerful.

Chen Yang remained calm, enduring the discomfort in his abdomen, and methodically continued to digest the inner elixir energy using the "Five Contemplations of Food Preservation Technique".

……

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was afternoon.

The two Dao Zhen internal pills have been fully digested, and 75 of the 108 acupoints have been opened.

It must be said that the energy of the pills within the Daozhen Realm is indeed powerful.

After adjusting his breathing for a moment, Chen Yang took out the Medicine King Elixir Wine and continued to cultivate.

Today, I'm determined to fight the "Dharma Image Golden Body Technique" to the bitter end.
