Chapter 189: The External Elixir Is Ready for Travel
Seven years later, Shi Xuan woke up from seclusion. During these seven years, Shi Xuan followed his own arrangements, focusing on stabilizing his cultivation and refining magic tools. Finally, today, he completely integrated his mind and soul into one, achieving a transparent and crystal soul. With a single thought, his consciousness can cover a hundred miles.
The Tai Chi diagram was also refined to the sixth level of perfection three years ago. Its power is equivalent to that of a semi-spiritual tool. It is only a little different from the eighth level of perfection of other people's natal magic tools. However, those who have the eighth level of perfection of their natal magic tools are often perfect in the spirit and soul stage. It takes twenty-seven years for the Tai Chi diagram to be refined to the seventh level of perfection. From now on, it will be twenty-four years, which is not something that can be completed in a short time.
The Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle is now fifty layers of restrictions, and it is still five years away from the sixth level of perfection. However, the natal magic tool is nurtured in the body day and night, so it does not need to be specially closed for refining.
In the past seven years, Shi Xuan has mastered the Thunder Demon Subduing Sword to the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Restriction. In more than a year, the first level will be perfected. At that time, Shi Xuan will be able to exert the power of a spiritual weapon with about the fifth level of the Heavenly Gang Restriction, which is stronger than the Tai Chi Diagram. The power of each sword is equivalent to the power of the Tai Chi Diagram when it is fully exerting the Yin and Yang Qi.
The Soul-Bewitching Banner and the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword are still more than ten years away from the perfection of the sixth level. They are the least powerful magic weapons in Shi Xuan's hands. After all, both of them were sacrificed by Shi Xuan when the number of restriction layers was very small. It is difficult to reach the level of high-level magic weapons without a long time. For example, with Shi Xuan's current cultivation level, the tools he uses are either magic weapons or spiritual weapons of the eighth level, or magic weapons equivalent to this power.
Shi Xuan has now mastered the Thunder Ze Divine Sword to more than the seventh level, but it will take another seven or eight years to fully master the eighth level of restriction. The set of seven Yimu Qinglong Swords will take another two or three years to fully master after mastering more than the sixth level.
Qianyang Qingdeng, Shi Xuan has only practiced two layers of restrictions in recent years, and the power has not increased significantly.
In addition, Xiaoyou Qingfeng Dun, Jinlong Armor Spell, Invisibility Spell, Jinren Shenfeng Zhan, Wangqi Shu, and Yinyang Eyes are already seventh-level spells. The last two levels require a total of about sixty years to practice. Most of the masters of the Soul Stage only practice their own innate minor magical powers to the ninth level after advancing to the Golden Core Stage. After all, the time spent on practicing spells at that time is about 30% of the current time. Shangqing Hand Pivot Thunder is still four or five years away from the eighth level.
Shi Xuan also used the roots of the Wanzai Qingkong Tree to practice the Jueyin Ganyang Qingmu Huasheng Jue, which is a first-class sneak attack and assassination Taoist technique. Two nearly colorless Wanzai Qingkong Shenmu Qi shot out from his eyes. After silently touching the opponent, they took root on the opponent's body and extracted nutrients. In a few breaths, it grew into a towering tree, and the opponent naturally became a tree fertilizer. Of course, it is an incomplete Taoist art, and its distance and power are similar to those of Gengjin Sword Qi and Virtual Real Fire.
Now, Shi Xuan knows seven Taoist arts: Gengjin Sword Qi, Virtual Real Fire, Qingmu Huasheng Jue, Shattering Jade Jue, Thunder God Thorn, Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, and Jin Guang Dun, which can be regarded as one of the best in the Soul Stage.

After coming out of the retreat, Shi Xuan rested for five days, and then began to prepare to refine the external pill.
Shi Xuan had already pondered the method of refining the external pill countless times in the past ten years. Every step and every technique were repeated in his mind. Now that the first level of the Soul Stage is perfect, the control power has greatly increased, and it is just right to start refining.
Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to change to the inner pills of thunder, wind, and yin and yang monsters, but these inner pills were very popular in the sect, and no one had any in stock, so in the end he had to make do with the inner pill of the Star Iron Beast. After all, Shi Xuan never thought that he would not be able to achieve the Golden Pill. In that case, the outer pills would only be used temporarily, and there was no need to be so picky.
There was a refining room in his own cave in Tianji Peak, which had excellent earth fire resources, but Shi Xuan was now in the Soul Stage, so he naturally chose to use his own Samadhi True Fire to refine, which was easier to control, and the outer pills after refining were also easier to control.
Shi Xuan took out the inner pill of the Star Iron Beast and other materials for refining the outer pills from the Yin and Yang Two Qi Bottle, placed them on the refining table, and then opened his mouth and sprayed the upper, middle, and lower fires, that is, the divine fire, the essence fire, and the gas fire. The three fires merged into one, and a red, almost transparent flame flew to the fire mouth of the refining table.
Suddenly, a blazing flame appeared under the inner elixir of the Star Iron Armored Beast and those materials. Shi Xuan was divided into two parts. On the one hand, he kept typing out the rune characters written in ancient cloud seal on the inner elixir that was shining with stars and flowing with stars. With the help of the power of Samadhi True Fire, the inner elixir gradually shrank and finally became the size of a night pearl. On the other hand, he spewed out Samadhi True Fire from time to time, and at the same time controlled the power of the flame to keep those materials in a semi-melted state.
Then, Shi Xuan put those materials into the inner elixir of the Star Iron Armored Beast one by one in order, and used rune characters to fuse them together.
It took Shi Xuan half a month to complete the previous steps, but at this step, the basic work was completed. After that, he would follow the method of offering sacrifices to the magic tools and put the nine groups of restrictions one by one. In the end, the nine were combined into one, and the work was done.
One month later.
Dozens of bright and dazzling starlight suddenly fell from the sky above Tianji Peak, which was dazzling for a moment. Unfortunately, it was noon, and these starlights were blocked by the peak protection formation and disappeared after a moment. No more than ten people in the entire Penglai Sect saw this scene.
At this time, Shi Xuan was playing with a night-shining pearl the size of a longan in the weapon refining room. At first glance, this night-shining pearl looked ordinary and normal, but when he looked closely, he felt that this night-shining pearl was shining like the stars in the sky and contained infinite magic power. Looking inside, it seemed that there were countless stars rising and falling in mysterious trajectories, and the huge galaxy was slowly rotating, just like looking at the starry sky at night.
Tie this external pill with Ao Han's dragon tendons and then hang it close to his body. Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to make the external pill rotate on a circular trajectory around his head like the Ion Stone in the novel he read in his previous life. That would look cool and mysterious, but this was his secret method, and it would be bad if others found out at once, so after thinking about it, Shi Xuan decided to keep it close to his body, one to keep it secret, and two to be able to call on the golden pill divine light and Taoist magic and magic inside at any time.
The outer pill refined by the inner pill of the Star Iron Beast can provide the Mysterious Gold Star Light. The power of each attack is equivalent to the first-level Taoist magic, and the same is true for defense. In addition, the four innate magical powers of the Star Iron Beast are also in this outer pill. They are all second-level Taoist magic. However, when Shi Xuan uses them, they are at most between the first and second levels. Only by going to Guanghan Sect to ask for that method can he play the power of the second-level Taoist magic in a short time.
These four innate magical powers are: Seven Stars Big Handprint, Mysterious Gold Body Protection Skill, Star Demon Slaughtering Sword Qi, Ten Thousand Stars Silk Net.
However, it can be seen that this Star Iron Beast was killed not long after the pill was formed, and many star or gold magics have not yet begun to be practiced, only the first level.
In addition, it seems that with this outer pill, Shi Xuan's first-level Taoist magic, seventh- and eighth-level magics are temporarily useless, but one is the essence and the other is the exterior. One has unlimited possibilities for advancement in the future, and the other can only maintain its current power. How can they be compared?
After refining the external pill, Shi Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, in the entire world of the soul, his self-protection ability can also be ranked in the top three. After refining the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, he will go to the Western Wilderness to explore the cave of the ancient Shinto monk.
After learning the small teleportation technique, Shi Xuan had some ideas about how to trigger the space force contained in the blue phoenix feather, but for the sake of safety, he still went to ask the master and the real person to avoid wasting materials.
With this in mind, Shi Xuan walked out of the refining room and prepared to go to Master Mo Yuan.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw the huge black dragon coiled next to his cave guarding. Seeing him come out, Ao Gu hurriedly bowed his head to greet him, with fear and trepidation. This was the sequelae of seeing Ao Han's miserable condition. Besides, since he has been captured, it is better to have a better attitude in exchange for a better life.
The four servants in Shi Xuan's original cave had already broken through to the Out-of-Body Stage. Some became outer disciples, while others returned home to enjoy wealth and glory. Currently, two little Taoist children, a boy and a girl, helped Shi Xuan take care of the affairs of the cave. Shi Xuan named them Qingfeng and Mingyue out of fun.
It happened that Mo Yuan did not retreat today. It was unknown whether the celestial phenomena caused by the outer pill had alarmed him. Anyway, Shi Xuan did not ask and he did not say anything.
After explaining the refining ideas, restrictions and small teleportation techniques of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan to his master, Shi Xuan just watched Mo Yuan thinking.
Mo Yuan, who was thinking, showed more expression than usual, frowning from time to time. After half a day, he pointed out the mistakes in the restrictions and techniques that Shi Xuan was going to use, and asked Shi Xuan to consult Master Jiang again, so that the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan would not be able to advance to a spiritual weapon due to its own defects after it became a magic weapon, which would be a waste of materials.
Before leaving, Mo Yuan suddenly said, "Are you going to explore the cave in the Western Wasteland?" Shi Xuan had nothing to hide about Guanghan Sect's requirements and his own thoughts, and he had already told his master.
Shi Xuan nodded, knowing that Mo Yuan had something to say about this, so he just listened quietly.
"In fact, you can go as a Jindan Grandmaster. First, if you have external pills and spiritual tools, your strength is 50% of that of a lower-grade Jindan. No one will doubt you unless you fight to the death. Second, as a Jindan Grandmaster, you will avoid a lot of trouble. In the end, if you don't compete with the other three Jindan Grandmasters for what they want, they will definitely not take the initiative to provoke you. Compared with the existence of the Soul Stage that they can easily destroy, your safety is greatly improved. Third, as a Jindan Grandmaster, most of the Soul Stages will not dare to compete with you, which can avoid accidents." Mo Yuan rarely said so many words.
Shi Xuan was originally planning to go as a Soul Stage. With many trump cards in hand, it should not be a problem to save his life. Even if he suddenly attacked, he could still gain something. But after hearing what his master said, Shi Xuan thought about it and realized that it made sense. If he went there at the Spiritual Soul Stage, he would definitely be tested again and again. After all, no one wants to share the treasure with one more person, unless he can prove that he has the ability to destroy the token that is neither gold nor wood before they kill him. This is difficult to grasp and it is even easy to expose his trump card.
However, there is a biggest problem with going there as a Jindan Grandmaster. Shi Xuan asked doubtfully, "But the Tianji List?"
