Chapter 172: Ending

A raging fire was raging under the purple gold Bagua furnace, with blazing flames and surging heat waves. It was much more powerful than the time when the three saints of Tianshui made elixirs. In particular, there were Zhoutian numbers on the Bagua purple gold furnace, gathering the five elements of spiritual energy, using gold to make water, water to make wood, and wood to make fire. Zhou Qing sprayed the real fire and poured the boiling oil on the fire, which made it even more powerful.

Zhou Qing chanted the mantra in his mouth, pinched the seal with his hands, and carefully harmonized the yin and yang, the real water and the real fire. This furnace was very difficult to make elixirs. It depended on the skill and the ability to control the magic essence. Fortunately, although Zhou Qing had practiced for a short time, he was a natural talent and had many adventures. His skill and ability were all in the realm of perfection. He did not have to worry about this. In particular, he carefully observed the situation of the three saints when they were making elixirs, and he also had some experience. The general outline of refining equipment also recorded the magical method of Yun Zhongzi, the golden immortal, so there was no reason to fail.

The blood demon seaweed was restrained by Zhou Qing's spell, unable to move. It was turned into a furnace of juice before a cup of tea had passed. The old Xuanwu Taoist offered the Eight Scenery Lantern, which floated three feet above his head, and sprinkled purple light to protect everyone. The real water in the furnace was seen boiling with a sound, and the Eight Diagrams Purple Gold Pill Furnace was motionless. Zhou Qing became more and more proficient. His clothes were like the wind when his seals were flying, and he was about to fly, just like a fairy. He was really a Taoist.

After a while, a stream of milky white mist emerged from the holes in the Zhoutian number, condensed into the shape of a dragon and a tiger on the furnace, and did not dissipate for a long time. It was not like a virtual object created by magic power, and there was a faint sound of whistling dragons.

After a while, above the furnace, there was a rain of light from the ceiling, which was transformed by the magic power. The light was flowing, and the flower rain was colorful. It fell down in a mess, and disappeared in an instant, like rain and lightning, like a dream.

The world was bizarre and terrifying. The devil Yaksha and the fairy pavilion of the goddess all appeared faintly in the ceiling. The onlookers were protected by the eight scene lights, and their hearts were free of demons. They just felt that the wonders were very beautiful.

The old Taoist Xuanwu had a wide range of experience. He knew that refining the Du'e Jindan was against the will of heaven. The sky was jealous, and the demons were sent down to intimidate, and the fairies were sent down to scatter the ceiling to tempt. It seemed real and illusory, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false. As long as the alchemist could not control himself and his mind was a little confused, not only would the elixir be destroyed and the furnace cracked, but even the person would be affected. At the least, his Taoism would be completely abolished, and at the worst, his life would be lost and his soul would fall into reincarnation forever.

Zhou Qing was in an illusion, using his profound skills, his whole body was shining with golden light, and three green lotuses appeared on his head. He was unmoved by the illusions. The flowers falling from the sky were really real, but they were blocked by the golden light of the protective green lotus, so they could not come down.

Zhou Qing was like Vimalakirti, who was scattering flowers from the heavenly maiden, but he was not stained by dust.

"How strange! This Zhou Zhenren is actually a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner, both Buddhist and Taoist, and they are so harmonious. It's really wonderful." The old Taoist Xuanwu saw the golden light of the green lotus and was puzzled, but he admired Zhou Qing's Taoism and cultivation. Seeing the exquisiteness, he couldn't help but be moved, clapping his hands in praise, and sang a song:

Dividing yin and adjusting yang, intertwining dragons and tigers, melting mercury and turning lead to Kan and Li, the three flowers gathered at the top to get the mystery, the five qi returned to the origin and connected to the body, like Buddha, Tao and emptiness, not coming, not going, not staying in the middle, everyone knows that the golden elixir is good, but they don't know that the six thieves died when they left.

The old Taoist Xuanwu did it casually, but everyone was moved by it. When they saw Zhou Qing's seal, they all nodded, as if they had understood something. Zhou Qing was fully committed to refining the elixir, and he had to resist the invasion of the invisible demon. How could he spare his mind to investigate? Suddenly, another big mouthful of true fire spurted out. He stopped the seal in his hand, and the illusions dissipated. The fire in the furnace expanded and fell down again. A clear sound rang out, and the aroma of medicine spread all over.

"My fellow Taoists, it's so dangerous. I didn't expect that the golden elixir would be envied by the sky and the demon was sent down. Fortunately, I can still control it. Now the mother elixir is ready, but it's not a big deal. As long as it is tempered with a slow fire for an hour, it will be a success. You fellow Taoists will have at least five more points of confidence when you cross the heavenly tribulation in the future!" Zhou Qing took a deep breath, sweating all over, and cursed in his heart.

"Damn Yun Zhongzi, why didn't you tell me that there are many demons attacking while refining this elixir? I have to control the temperature while using the Yuanshen Xuan Gong. I am so busy and exhausted. If it weren't for my profound skills, I would definitely not be able to resist. Humph! After I ascend to heaven, I will definitely make trouble for you. I said that this golden elixir is a calamity-crossing thing, it is very important, how can it be refined in such a short time and so easy? It turns out that there is such a calamity."

Hearing that the work is about to be completed, only one step away, everyone is extremely happy and congratulates each other. Of course, Zhou Qing has benefited the most from the opening of the Immortal Mansion, followed by them. They have obtained many top-grade magic weapons, and the method of sacrifice and refining is also included. Now there is a golden elixir, and everyone feels that there is hope for becoming an immortal. How can there be any reason to be unhappy?

"Not good!" Zhou Qing was shocked and blurted out. He slowed down the spell in his hand, and the true fire under the purple gold Bagua furnace jumped violently, which frightened everyone's heart. It seemed that they were about to succeed. If the temperature was out of control and the work failed, they would not be able to cry. Fortunately, Zhou Qing calmed down in time and adjusted the temperature, and the furnace did not show any abnormality.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, He Gu was suddenly surprised. Is there something wrong with the elixir in the furnace?" The three red-haired ancestors were also frightened, and the water ape asked hurriedly.

"That's not the case. It's just that I felt that the forbidden sky fire formation outside the immortal mansion was moving for no reason. I'm afraid that a powerful person came to cause trouble. The blue god was patrolling outside, and he must have been unable to resist, so he had to open the ban! Let me carefully check it!" Zhou Qing then silently operated his soul, and a trace of his soul clone attached to the blue god's soul, and they were indistinguishable. What the blue god saw, Zhou Qing could also see, so he immediately discovered the situation.

"Could it be that the toad is here to cause trouble again!" asked the old Taoist Xuanwu. He knew that Lan Shen, who had obtained the body of a heavenly ghost, was powerful, and there were restrictions to stop him, so he didn't care. He didn't expect Zhou Qing to ask in confusion: "Huh!? It turned out to be two evil people, with such profound Taoism, where did they come from? They are three times more powerful than the toad. There are such powerful people in the world. No wonder Lan Shen couldn't resist and had to use the Heavenly Fire Formation to block them. I am tempering my elixir now and can't spare time to fight the enemy. For the sake of safety, I would like to trouble you fellow Taoists to go out and support them."

When Zhou Qing spoke, the two women were still trapped in the formation and had not taken out their magic weapons. Lan Shen Patriarch kept scolding and teasing them. Zhou Qing's Yuanshen explored and heard it clearly, secretly laughing.

"Oh, there are actually people with profound Taoism coming to make trouble. I'm afraid they are here to spy on the Immortal Palace. We have to see them." The water ape raised the copper hammer and flew out with the Taoist Xuanwu and his people. Zhou Qing was the only one left in the entire alchemy hall. He slowly mobilized the true fire to quench while observing the situation. The two women had strong demonic energy and extremely powerful protective magic weapons. They could actually persist in the Heavenly Fire Formation without being embarrassed and even seemed to be at ease. This made Zhou Qing feel even more puzzled.

He knew the power of the Heavenly Fire Formation. If Zhou Qing used all his strength, even if a celestial being was trapped in it, it would burn a layer of skin. The current power of the Blue God Ancestor was not much different from Zhou Qing. If he didn't use magic weapons, one-on-one, Zhou Qing really had no way to deal with the Blue God who had the body of a celestial ghost.

"My husband, what happened?" Fairy Yunxia spent several days refining the Immortal Binding Rope and the bronze mirror, and practiced again. She felt that she had become proficient, and then she heard the sound of breaking air in the Immortal Mansion. She thought something was wrong, and was worried about Zhou Qing's safety. She hurried over and found that Taoist Xuanwu and his people were gone. Zhou Qing was slowly refining the elixir, and nothing went wrong. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Two women have come, they are extremely powerful, but fortunately, they are trapped in the Skyfire Formation, Lan Shen should be able to handle it. I also asked Brother Xuanwu to go to the front. He has the Eight Scenery Lanterns, and his disciples have greatly increased their strength. In addition, the Three Saints have also followed. With so many people joining forces, even if the two women escape, they are no match. Don't worry, I told Lan Shen to capture them and ask about their origins. Such masters are rare, and their souls are powerful. It's just right to use them as sacrifices. I will go to the Nether Alliance Underworld in the future, so it's just right to prepare early."

"Oh, hehe! Since they are women, husbands should not be ruthless. Just capture them and ask about their origins. Since the other party is powerful, they are probably from a big family. It's always bad to make more enemies. I'll go out and take a look. Brother Xuanwu is naturally kind-hearted and will definitely not hurt them, so as not to conflict with Lan Shen, which is not good." Fairy Yunxia saw that Zhou Qing's words were cruel and he wanted to use people's souls as sacrifices at every turn, so she said coquettishly.

Zhou Qing just chuckled and was about to tease Fairy Yunxia, ​​but suddenly he was nervous: "Oh no, those two witches actually have such a treasure, they are the guest stars of the Sky Fire Array, you quickly take my Dingfengzhu, the old Taoist Xuanwu will definitely not be able to resist, I will come after I refine the elixir."

The woman surnamed Mu spit out the banana fan, and Zhou Qing sensed that this fan was originally a fairy banana tree on Kunlun Mountain, which had grown since the beginning of the universe, with only one leaf, and was later picked up by a powerful fairy and made into a magic weapon. With one fan, the gods would be blown away, and the power was not inferior to any god-conferring magic weapon. Yun Zhongzi left a lot of information in the Zhenfu stele, which just completed the record of the general outline of refining equipment, but Zhou Qing recognized this treasure.

"Luckily I have the Wind-Fixing Bead! Those Tantric monks really helped me a lot. How can I thank them? Well, I'm going to the Western Regions to pick up my two fox disciples, so I might as well help them to transcend." Zhou Qing was about to make a spell with his hands, but couldn't move. He opened his mouth and blew, and the void broke, and the Wind-Fixing Bead appeared. Seeing that Zhou Qing was speaking urgently, Fairy Yunxia stopped teasing, grabbed the bead, and flew out.

"It seems to be very uneasy recently, with all kinds of monsters and demons appearing. How did these two women get here? They actually have treasures like the banana fan, and their cultivation is even higher than that toad. They are so terrifying. If we fight, I am afraid I can only show my golden body and sacrifice the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to be sure of dealing with one of them. There is no way that there are such powerful cultivators in the world. Could they be from the earthly immortal world mentioned by Lan Shen?" Zhou Qing was reluctant to part with the furnace of elixirs. He finally caught the blood demon seaweed. Although he didn't have to worry about the heavenly tribulation, it was a great thing to win people's hearts. Besides, he had to think about his apprentice.

The red-dressed woman saw the blue god laughing, and she knew what he was thinking. She raised the palm leaf fan, exerted all her true energy, and fanned it into the void, causing a strange wind to blow. Suddenly, there were dark clouds and the vital energy was shaking. In the void that had not yet been opened up, the clear and turbid air were intertwined, and it was extremely chaotic. The chaotic air was twisted into thousands of tornadoes with a thickness of more than an acre, and shot out. This wind was a divine wind, not an ordinary one. The chaotic air rolled in it was decomposed, with fire, water, gold, wood, earth, and electricity. There were crackling sounds in each thick tornado, lightning and thunder, and dazzling fire, just like the scene when the world was first created.

As the old saying goes, fire relies on wind, but at this time it was just the opposite. The blazing flames of the Skyfire Array were blown out by the wind, and the hundreds of red dragon phantoms were swept into the tornado before they could even scream, and were crushed into powder by the chaotic Yuanli.

The eight pillars of the Heavenly Fire Formation trembled, and the true essence controlled by Lan Shen rushed out wildly, but it was still a drop in the bucket. The pillars of the Heavenly Fire Formation could not withstand the destruction of the divine wind without the blessing of mana, and automatically sank into the Immortal Mansion. Such a powerful formation was broken by a fan. Lan Shen was stunned, watching countless thick tornadoes sweeping towards the four directions and eight strikes. He screamed in fear and hurriedly hid in the void. He didn't know that several of the tornadoes seemed to lock on his soul and followed closely behind him. Lan Shen exerted his strength as a heavenly ghost body, and instantly crossed dozens of spaces before he barely shook off the wind pillar tornado, which made him exhausted.

Although Lan Shen was powerful, he did not have the ability to completely control the Heavenly Fire Formation. If Yun Zhongzi was here, even if the banana fan was powerful, it would not be possible to break the Heavenly Fire Formation. Different people, of course, have different powers for the Heavenly Fire Formation.

"My goodness, these two bitches actually have a banana fan. This fan should have disappeared long ago. How could it appear again? If I hadn't been a celestial ghost, I would have been killed today. These two bitches came strangely and are so powerful. Could it be that they are not cultivators in the human world? I've been unlucky recently, so I'd better hide." Lan Shen was still in shock, and then he woke up again: "Oh no, the sect master asked me to inspect the cave, and now the ban has been broken. If these two bitches come to kill me and ruin the sect master's alchemy, the sect master will be angry and come down, and I don't want to suffer!" Thinking of Zhou Qing's method, Lan Shen weighed the two options, gritted his teeth, twisted his ghost body, and drilled out, waiting for an opportunity to use the Blood-Transforming Knife to sneak attack, to besiege Wei to save Zhao, just to delay until Zhou Qing finished refining the alchemy.

"Two girls, why do you disturb our quiet cultivation!"

When the old Taoist Xuanwu rushed out of the Immortal Mansion, he saw the wind columns and tornadoes coming like a tide. Fortunately, this is the void, not the bottom of the sea, otherwise it would be a big mess. The two girls held magic tools and floated in the void. The wind columns and tornadoes bypassed them one after another. Their clothes did not flutter at all. It was very strange. Seeing this scene, the monks who followed opened their mouths wide. The tornado column was definitely not something that human power could resist. But everyone promised Zhou Qing that if the tornado shook the Immortal Mansion and disturbed Zhou Qing who was refining the elixir inside, the loss would be great.

The old Xuanwu Taoist first roared, his thin body swelled up, becoming extremely powerful. He bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Eight Scenery Lamp. Xuanji raised the lamp, and the purple light was strong, surrounding the entire Immortal Mansion. Seeing that the old Xuanwu Taoist was fighting for his life, the other cultivators followed suit, using their blood to activate their favorite magic weapons, and then sacrificed them and merged into the purple light.

Dozens of returning to the void masters joined forces, and the magic weapons were rare treasures of the immortals, so their power was extraordinary. Countless wind column tornadoes hit the purple light one after another, and the wind and lightning, water, fire, and thunder were booming continuously, but they just couldn't break through the defense of the purple light.

"Brother! This wind! ! ! ! It's so powerful! ! ! It's hundreds and thousands of times more powerful than the Nine Heavens Gangfeng!" The water ape was hit by the wind column and the treasure light was scattered, and his face was pale. The other cultivators with weak cultivation had insufficient true essence, and the magic weapons were twisted by the divine wind, and they fell one after another, all of them were seriously injured and spurted blood.

"Sister, give it another blow, these idiots can't stand it. Alas, the purple light from that lamp is so strong that the divine wind can't blow it out!"

"That is the legendary Eight Scenery Lamp, which belongs to Taishang Laojun. Although the banana fan is powerful, it can't do anything to it. It's a pity that this person's power is too weak! He doesn't know how to use the lamp, how can he be our opponent!" The red-clothed woman raised the banana fan and swung it again. The wind surged, and the old Taoist Xuanwu couldn't stand the continuous impact. He spit out three mouthfuls of blood, but it was still useless. The purple light dimmed and the Eight Scenery Lamp fell down.

At the critical moment, the yellow light was bright and shining. Fairy Yunxia finally arrived and offered the Wind-Fixing Bead. The Wind-Fixing Bead was not conspicuous at ordinary times. It was just a pearl the size of an egg. But when it encountered the divine wind, the light filled the sky, as if a small sun rose out of thin air. Wherever the yellow light went, the wind column tornado scattered one after another, and there was no resistance at all. Seeing that Fairy Yunxia had saved the situation and saved a group of people, although the old Taoist Xuanwu looked depressed and injured, he still bowed to thank her.

"Wind-Fixing Bead!" The woman in red was surprised to see the strange situation and the bead in the sky.

"Madam, don't be in a hurry. Disciple is here to save you!" The blue god came out of the void and offered the Blood-Transforming Knife. A blood light slashed at the two women who were surprised.

When the two women were surprised, the Blood-Transforming Knife came quickly again. There was no time to dodge. In a hurry, the woman in red offered the jade pipa to resist it.

The Blue God's sword was full of energy, and no one could stop it. He chopped off the jade pipa with one sword, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the two women.

"Sister!" The woman in green couldn't dodge in time, and subconsciously used her arm to block it. With a puff, blood rained, and the green-clothed woman's arm was flicked by the blood and broken.

"Sister, get out of the soul!" The red-clothed woman shouted, and scratched the green-clothed woman's head with one claw. A fox-like and wolf-like soul flew out and was put into her sleeve. The red-clothed woman fanned the Blue God, but she didn't want to fight anymore. She sacrificed the magic weapon, broke through the void, and ran away without a trace. The Blue God was chasing, but was stopped by the Fairy Yunxia.

The green-clothed woman's body suddenly rose with blood, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a ball of pus and blood, with a foul stench. The power of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword was revealed, and the cultivators shook their heads when they saw such a vicious magic weapon.
