Chapter 456 Breakthrough of Golden Core

Although Song Qingming, who was in the process of forming a golden elixir, could not see the strange phenomena of heaven and earth outside, he was aware of them in his heart.

Regardless of whether the cultivator can finally form a golden elixir successfully, as long as he reaches the stage of forming a golden elixir, it will trigger strange phenomena of heaven and earth. However, once the cultivator fails to form a golden elixir, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth will not last long and will slowly dissipate.

Only when the golden elixir is successfully formed like Song Qingming now, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth will continue until Song Qingming successfully breaks through the golden elixir realm, and the strange phenomena of heaven and earth outside will dissipate by themselves.

After successfully forming a golden elixir, Song Qingming only felt that the golden elixir in his body was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time and was released from a cage, swallowing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth in big mouthfuls.

The surrounding spiritual energy rushed into his body crazily, which also made all the meridians of Song Qingming's entire body swell and ache. Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately raised his hand and held the "Red Essence Jade Stone" that had been placed aside.

As a stream of cool earth vein spiritual energy from the "Red Jade Stone" flowed into Song Qingming's golden elixir, his golden elixir became significantly brighter, and the speed of the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy flowing in also slowly slowed down.

When Song Qingming just condensed the golden elixir, most of his mana had been consumed. Before he could fully recover, he was frightened by the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy that was madly pouring into his body. Fortunately, he was prepared before this. With the help of the "Red Jade Stone", Song Qingming finally felt relieved and hurriedly adjusted his state.

This stream of earth vein spiritual energy in the "Red Jade Stone" can help cultivators quickly train their golden elixir when they form the elixir. After inhaling this special spiritual energy, the golden elixir in Song Qingming's body became more and more solid.

The golden elixir that had just condensed was still very fragile. Facing too much spiritual energy madly pouring into the body at once, it would be easily washed away. Song Qingming, who had a respite, quickly took another drop of Millennium Spirit Milk to quickly restore his mana and keep himself in a good state as much as possible.

This lasted for almost a month, until after absorbing enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the golden elixir in Song Qingming's body slowly stabilized and stopped absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth around it.

Next, Song Qingming reached the last step of forming the elixir, refining the golden elixir.

Refining the golden elixir is not difficult, nor does it take a long time. It only requires the cultivator to stabilize his mind, move his own golden elixir out of the body and accept the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a few days to successfully break through the golden elixir realm.

After the cultivator breaks through the golden elixir to this step, as long as there is no external influence, he will basically not fail. At this moment, Song Qingming is more than 90% sure that he will break through the golden elixir realm this time, and a confident smile appears on his face.

Song Qingming just moved the golden elixir out of his body, and the spiritual energy in the entire cave at the bottom of the pond quickly gathered towards the location of his golden elixir. Not only that, at this moment, even the white clouds gathered above the cave at the bottom of the pond also surged violently.

On a high mountain dozens of miles away from the cave at the bottom of the pond, the unhappy Qingluan demon king was confronting a giant unicorn bull that had just arrived.

"Stinky buffalo, this is my territory, why don't you get out of here!"

Hearing Qingluan's angry curse, the unicorn bull demon did not retreat, but turned his eyes to the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth not far away, as if he was a little suspicious of what treasure appeared there and wanted to go over to see what was going on.

Since Song Qingming reached the stage of Dan Condensation, because of the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth caused by Dan Condensation, not only many low-level monsters were attracted to the cave at the bottom of the pond, but also the high-level demon kings nearby were soon alarmed.

In the past month, in addition to the unicorn bull demon, Qingluan, who was guarding the cave at the bottom of the pond, had sent away two third-level demon kings who came to make trouble.

The two third-level demon kings who came in front were only at the early stage of the Golden Core. Qingluan defeated them without much effort. Only the one-horned bull demon had already advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and its strength was quite good. After a few days of confrontation, Qingluan had suffered a lot.

Qingluan's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, but because she followed the Fire Phoenix, her strength was still a few points stronger than the general demon kings of the same level. However, the one-horned bull demon in front of him was not only a demon king who had advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core for many years, but also a water-attributed demon beast. His magical powers also had some restraint on the fire-attributed Qingluan. Whether in terms of cultivation or strength, he was stronger than Qingluan.

Seeing that the one-horned bull demon was still unwilling to give up, he changed direction and flew towards the cave at the bottom of the pond. Qingluan had no choice but to flap his wings again to chase and stop it.

"You stupid bull, since you are so disobedient, don't blame me for being rude!" After Qingluan finished speaking, he spit out a red cattail fan from his mouth and used his magic power to control the cattail fan to fan the one-horned bull demon.

Soon a fierce gust of wind blew, blowing the unicorn demon in midair hundreds of feet away, almost falling to the ground.

The cattail leaf fan that Qingluan used was a treasure given to her by the Fire Phoenix. Usually, in order not to reveal her identity and attract the attention of other high-level demon kings, Qingluan would not take it out easily. Today, she encountered a tough opponent with the unicorn demon, so she had to use her last trump card.

The unicorn demon, who was caught off guard by this attack, also got angry. Soon, with red eyes, he flew into the air again and started fighting with Qingluan.

Not far away from where Qingluan was fighting with the unicorn demon, Huofeng and Longfeng were watching them quietly.

"Your Highness, Qingluan may not be able to defeat the unicorn. How about I go and drive it away!"

Huofeng, dressed in red, looked ahead and shook her head gently, saying, "Don't worry. Qingluan has been too irritable over the years and her temperament has become more and more wild. It's time for her to suffer.

Don't worry. Although Qingluan can't beat it, she won't be defeated for a while. This unicorn can just hone her. You watch here and wait for the right time before you go over!"

After Huofeng finished speaking, she asked Longfeng to stay, and she turned around and disappeared on the spot. After a while, she appeared in the cave at the bottom of the pond where Song Qingming was.

After taking a look at the cave, Huo Feng came to the stone door where Song Qingming was in retreat. Standing at the door, she closed her eyes and sensed the situation inside, then smiled gently.

"You can find such a good place to break through the Jindan. As expected, I really underestimated you." After muttering to herself, Huo Feng quietly left the cave at the bottom of the pond, and her whereabouts were unknown.

Three days later, the rolling clouds above the cave at the bottom of the pond suddenly began to slowly dissipate, and then a bright rainbow slowly appeared in the sky.

As the strange phenomena of heaven and earth slowly disappeared, the surrounding area of ​​the cave at the bottom of the pond, which had been bustling for more than a month, gradually began to calm down, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth slowly returned to normal.

In the retreat cave, as the step of tempering the golden elixir was successfully completed, Song Qingming successfully took the golden elixir outside into his body, and his aura changed accordingly, and he had successfully entered the golden elixir realm.

However, at this point, although Song Qingming has successfully broken through to the Jindan realm, he still needs to spend a lot of time to stabilize his own cultivation to prevent his cultivation from falling back to the foundation-building realm.

Two years later, as the door of the retreat cave was gently opened, Song Qingming, who had successfully stabilized his cultivation, finally walked out slowly.

Song Qingming, who had just walked out of the cave, looked around and immediately saw a tall figure staring at him. He hurried forward and smiled and bowed, saying, "Junior, I meet Senior Long Feng. Thank you for protecting me during this period of time."

Long Feng nodded and smiled softly, "Good boy, you really didn't disappoint His Highness, and it's worth it for Qingluan and I to guard you here for so long."

"Senior, where is Senior Qingluan? I want to thank her in person!" When Song Qingming was in retreat before, it was Qingluan who came with Huofeng to guard this cave, and he didn't know when Long Feng came here.

Hearing Song Qingming mention Qingluan, Long Feng replied directly: "Qingluan has already returned to His Highness. If you want to thank her, just go there. This time, she did a lot to help you protect the law, and she also fought a big battle with other demon kings. You really have to thank her!

But you also know her temper. I advise you to think about it before going. Don't just thank her with your mouth, lest she find you unhappy again."

"What the senior said is right. After I go back, I will definitely prepare well and go to see Senior Qingluan again." Facing Long Feng's kind reminder, Song Qingming quickly smiled and nodded.

"This thing was left by His Highness with me. He told me to give it to you directly after you break through the Jindan. His Highness said that this thing was originally left with her by you. Don't worry about it!" After Long Feng finished speaking, he took out a green jade pendant from his body and threw it directly into Song Qingming's hands.

Seeing the familiar jade pendant in front of him, Song Qingming immediately recognized it. This thing was the space magic weapon he got after killing Xiao Huang that year.

"Okay! Now that you have successfully formed the elixir, my mission has been completed, and it is time to go back and report to His Highness." After handing the jade pendant to Song Qingming, Long Feng said goodbye and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Song Qingming stepped forward and bowed, saying, "If I don't have His Highness' support to form the elixir this time, it will be difficult for me to achieve anything. When you go back to see His Highness, please give my regards to His Highness."

After seeing Long Feng off, Song Qingming did not rush to leave the cave at the bottom of the pond, but quickly took the green jade pendant that Long Fei had just given him in his hand with joy.

The reason why this item fell into the hands of Huo Feng was because Song Qingming's cultivation was not enough to use this space magic weapon. Now that he has broken through the Jindan realm, he can naturally use it at will.

As Song Qingming's consciousness slowly explored the jade pendant, his originally excited face gradually became disappointed.

"Damn! Where are the things inside?"

After one million words, the protagonist finally breaks through the Jindan realm.

Here I also wish fellow Daoist Panlong Tengkong a speedy recovery. Thank you for your company and support along the way.
