No abstraction, no cultivation

Chapter 172 Golden Elixir
As Xu Shun spoke, his eyes lit up.

He is getting stuck in a rut.

Face the "Tao Dragon", face the entire "wrong world", face the invincible enemy, and face the great wave of the times.

He should use his brain instead of just being reckless and fighting against a rock with an egg!
Pull your fist back so that you can punch out with greater force!

It is not shameful to take detours or make strategic shifts. What is shameful is to abandon the goal after the shift.

A person's power is limited, and the power will not come out just by shouting.

He needs to be methodical instead of just being reckless and getting hurt!
If you keep the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost; if you keep the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be gained!
As his understanding progressed, his mentality changed, and “I, the Tiger” also changed.

The originally black tiger became thinner, but its body became longer and bigger, and its strength became stronger. It looked like a dragon but not a dragon, and like a tiger but not a tiger.

The struggle between "I the Tiger" and "Tao Dragon" is not a head-on conflict, but like a cunning hunter, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, making detours!
The battle between the dragon and the tiger entered a new stage, which reduced Xu Shun's pressure a lot.

"Heh...the people involved are really confused!" Xu Shun shook his head and felt much more sober.

During this period of time, he felt that he was stuck in a dead end. As if possessed, he kept forcing himself to confront "Daolong" head-on.

He is just a cultivator in the Dragon-Tiger Stage... I don't know who gave him the courage.

Seeing Xu Shun like this, Lu Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems you survived."

"Life and death are not important to me." Xu Shun just said: "It's just that I have something else to do, I can't die yet."

"What else did he say?" Xu Shun asked again.

"The current battle situation is a long battle..." Lu Xingxing began to recall slowly, saying them one by one.

Xu Shun listened attentively, just like when he was in class.

Two worlds, two different people, but saying similar things, made Xu Shun feel dazed.

It turns out that I already knew those principles, but...

I am so stupid.

Lu Xingxing finally said: "This is not a battle of one year, nor a battle of ten years, nor a battle of one hundred years, one thousand years, or ten thousand years."

"It's an eternal battle!"

"Good! Well said!" Xu Shun couldn't help but agree.

"My Tiger" grew stronger suddenly according to Xu Shun's wishes and wrestled with "Daolong".

Just like one gear meshing with another, Xu Shun can mobilize the power of heaven and earth!
By meshing heaven and earth together, the dragon and the tiger achieved a balance, which is the "golden elixir".

"Jin" is oneself and "Dan" is the outside world.

A brand new strength surged out of his body, allowing Xu Shun to take a step forward.

What’s more gratifying is that Xu Shun knows that what he has to do now is a long struggle.

A temporary failure is not important.

"You...have a breakthrough already?"

Lu Xingxing watched Xu Shun for a while, and from the look of being on the verge of death, he broke through the Dragon Tiger Realm and became a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage. Feeling the golden core pressure faintly emanating from Xu Shun, he couldn't help but say.

He also wanted to say, you are too fast!

But this is how spiritual practice works. Once you have an epiphany, you can clear up your mental knots and cross the threshold and bottleneck. It is very normal.

However, he has only recovered to the seventh or eighth level of Dragon Tiger now, and it is not known when he will recover to the Golden Core stage.

"Let's go!" Xu Shun said, "Let's keep going."

"Okay!" Where to go? Is there any need to say it?
The two of them got on their bikes and started heading west again. As long as they chose a direction, they would have a high chance of running into them.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived at another desert.

The setting sun poured down like molten gold, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red, and the afterglow sprinkled on the rolling mountains and the vast desert.

The solitary peaks stand tall like silent giants. At the foot of the mountain, sparsely distributed cacti and bushes grow tenaciously. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, causing the withered and yellow grass leaves to rustle.

"Where is this?" Xu Shun asked.

"How would I know? I'm not from here." Lu Xingxing said, "You're from here, don't you know?"

"..." Xu Shun was confronted and said, "I think this is the human world."

As they were talking, they saw a flying boat in the distance that seemed to have seen them and was descending.

The flying boat looked very strange, made of stone, unlike the common styles in the world of immortal cultivation.

On the flying boat stood a man wearing a round hat, a jacket and a long gown, with a full beard. He looked at Xu Shun and the other two and said, "Immortal? Monk?"

Xu Shun looked at this person and felt the cultivation level of this weirdo, which was only at the Jindan stage. He said, "We have both!"

"Huh?" The man was stunned, looked at the two people carefully, and recognized Lu Xingxing at once.

In his eyes, immortals and monks are still different.

He said to Lu Xingxing, "My fellow immortal, the Emperor Yuanxuan of Nansheng Tianchang has ordered that as long as you kill a cultivator and take his head, you can go to the Emperor and get a mountain."

"The more you kill, the more you gain!"

"My friend, if you are threatened by him, just blink your eyes and I will help you kill him. The mountain will belong to me, how about that?"

Lu Xingxing was stunned.

Isn’t this the place where immortals cultivate?

How come Emperor Nansheng Tianchang Yuanxuan also has a share?

Also, if you kill the cultivator, you can go to Emperor Yuanxuan of Nansheng Tianchang and exchange for a mountain?
Does Emperor Yuanxuan of Nansheng Tianchang have many mountains?

All the questions in my mind finally turned into one sentence: "No, he is my companion."

"My friend, you are confused! You are an immortal! That cultivator has never even been to the immortal world. He is not the same person as us!" The man continued to spread the message:

"My friend, you have fallen into depravity by associating with him!"

"Don't blame me for being cruel!"

As he spoke, an iron mace flew out of his body. The iron mace was square and sharp, and in the blink of an eye, it became like an iron pillar, bringing with it blazing fire and a mountain-like pressure, smashing towards Xu Shun.

With a "swish" sound, Xu Shun pulled out the Chishou sword with his backhand, and a black sword light, like a sword light from the underworld, flew towards the man!

"!!" While the man was puzzled, he saw a black sword light, which broke his magic weapon and his body, separating his head from his body in the blink of an eye.

A light flew out from his body and flew towards the west. However, he didn't fly far before he was caught up by another black sword light.

With a "bang", the jade statue in the light was shattered.

Now that Xu Shun has broken through the Jindan stage, his sword energy has transformed into sword light, and he is becoming more and more skilled in killing people.

"Who is this Gou Ba? Why does he start fighting over a disagreement?" Xu Shun couldn't help but say as he looked at the corpse.

We were just talking peacefully, why did you start fighting?
