Lin Tianxu turned his head in horror and saw a fierce grey beast coming through the forest.

"The cracked leopard! The fastest and fastest terrestrial monster in the vast jungle. The cultivation level of the foundation building is impossible to run away. Its weakness is its abdomen." Fortunately, the hand scroll also records some monsters in the vast jungle.

Before he could react, the eight-foot-long cracked leopard had already pounced on the bushes in front of him.

The eyes as big as a copper bell were glowing, their whole body was covered with black stripes, two rows of sharp teeth in their open mouth, and a blue-gray mouth was still on their sticking tongue.

Lin Tianxu quickly stepped back, turned sideways and slashed the leopard's neck with a palm.

The cracked leopard fell to the ground in pain, but it had a thick skin and flesh, and it quickly paused on the ground and then pounced on it again. The moment it landed, Lin Tianxu had already picked up a broken tree thorn as thick as a forearm on the ground.

When the cracked leopard jumped up again, Lin Tianxu stabbed his chest with a quick eye and his hands, and tried his best to hit his abdomen with a palm.

The cracked leopard rolled on the ground for a few times, and stopped moving in a low whine.

Lin Tianxu ignored it anymore, applied trauma medicine to himself, changed into a black long gown, and continued to move towards the Jiuyou Swamp.

After passing through this rainforest, we entered a black wood forest. The black wood here was quite strange. Except for the main trunks that were held by the two, the trees were covered with winding branches of different thicknesses.

Although the main trunks on the ground are separated from each other, the canopy are entangled together to form a large dark curtain. The trees are strangely without leaves and the ground is covered with gravel.

The gravel road surface is uneven, with bumps and bumps, and pits formed by sinking can be seen everywhere.

The surroundings were also very quiet, as if they had entered a ghost forest.

When Lin Tianxu became more and more careful, there was a rustling sound on a black wood in front of him. When he looked up, he saw a black-patterned golden flower python, which was as thick as an adult's waist, slid down the tree trunk.

The demon python that was winding down was invisible. The fine lines of golden flowers on the python's body and the black marks on the python's head as big as a basin have made the scalp numb.

Ordinary pythons are already known for their great strength. The demon python in front of them reaches the ground. When they lift their first mouth, they will gather venom and gather poisonous arrows to shoot towards Lin Tianxu.

Although Lin Tianxu avoided sideways, the scattered black liquid still splashed on his clothes, and the blue smoke was sucked at the same time. While he was dodging, the demon python also came up to him and quickly rolled up, trying to entangle him to death.

Lin Tianxu had only time to hold the seven-inch black-patterned golden flower python with both hands, and buckle it with all his strength, while pressing his head and face tightly against the demon python's neck. His fingers were inserted into the cold scales. The demon python's head kept shaking, and at the same time, the python that wrapped around Lin Tianxu's body rolled violently on the ground.

The bones in the body were squeezed together and made a squeaking sound. Lin Tianxu could only pour all his strength into his hands and refused to let go.

The venom left in the demon python's mouth also touched his hands, and immediately corrosive wounds with flow marks appeared. At this time, Lin Tianxu had no time to take care of these, because the python's body became tighter and tighter, and he could not breathe smoothly. He knew that only by hitting a snake with seven inches was the force that he could get out of trouble.

At this stalemate, the demon python rolled around Lin Tianxu without knowing how far it had rolled. Suddenly, it sank, and felt like it fell into a pit and rolled down toward the ground. Lin Tianxu suddenly felt that his skeleton had been rolled apart, but fortunately the force of rolling over him was significantly reduced at this time.

He was wrapped tightly and did not know the scene outside. He rolled in a daze for a long time until the gangster body slowly dissipated, and the demon python slowly disappeared.

Lin Tianxu struggled to climb out, and the surroundings were dark. He was flint and held the fire to see the black-patterned golden flower python rolling down and just hitting the protruding stone beside the stone wall, and the python head was completely broken.

The demon python in the late stage of foundation building also had no demon pills. Lin Tianxu turned around and looked at the surrounding stone chamber and vaguely saw a big hole above his head. The entire stone chamber seemed to be an upside down funnel. He thought it was a natural stone cave, but when he looked at it, he found that it was actually opened by man.

Because it was wet in the stone chamber, there was a small piece of medicine field prescribed in a corner, and there was an unknown herb growing. The stone chamber was only about three acres, and there were some black wood branches falling into the hollow above the head on the ground, and there was nothing else except the medicine field.

A stone door was found on the stone wall opposite the medicine field. The stone door was covered with dust, and no one had entered for many years. Carefully pushing open the stone door, there was no movement of the mechanism formation.

Throwing into a few branches, it was silent inside. Lin Tianxu slowly walked in. Only he was in the living room size of the lower door, there was a stone bed at the corner, and there was a stone table beside the bed, with a hand roll on one side and a quaint small tripod next to it.

A monk sat by the head of the bed. Because of the age, only a crystal white jade-like skeleton was left.

Lin Tianxu walked around the stone house twice before slowly walking to the stone table, picked up the hand roll and looked carefully. After reading it for half an hour, he put down the hand roll.

After reading it, he turned to the skeleton on the stone bed, with a look of unstable thought on his face. After a long time, he made a decision and gave a big gift to the skeleton.

The hand scroll was left by this sitting senior, and it records his lifelong cultivation journey and all his gains and feelings.

His real name is Zhong Chenghou. He was born six hundred years ago in an island on the Border Sea. The Zhong family was originally the largest cultivation family in that area, but later he didn't know how to offend a small sect called the Tianwang Sect next to him.

Originally, the Zhong family was stable against the Tianwang Sect, but who knew that in the time when he was born, the Tianwang Sect had any chance. In addition to the significant improvement in the strength of the sect, the head of the sect was also promoted to the Nascent Soul.

There was even more master behind him, and since then the Zhong family retreated step by step. The Zhong family sent many disciples to the three continents to look for opportunities.

Zhong Chenghou is one of them. He originally joined a medium-sized sect on the Wanghai Continent. Later, by chance, he discovered the cultivation cave of Shang Yun Danzun, who was famous in the Taoist world more than two thousand years ago.

Shangyun Danzun was a famous casual cultivator at that time. He was famous for his alchemy and formations that far surpassed others. He was also a cultivation level in the Mahayana realm.

Unfortunately, there were several layers of bans in the cave. After obtaining the basic method of introductory alchemy, he reached the Golden Elixir stage through alchemy assistance. After entering the cave, he found nothing but harvesting some dan recipes and basic formation books.

People who practice Taoism in the Yun world also have a life span. They build foundations for about two hundred years, the golden elixir for five hundred years, and the Nascent Soul will exceed a thousand years. As for the later realm, the life span will double.

Zhong Chenghou knew that there were more opportunities in Shangyun Danzun Cave. There must be pill recipes for practicing at all levels from the Nascent Soul to Mahayana, and pill recipes useful for realm promotion. Unfortunately, his cultivation level was not enough and he could only sigh.

His strength is not enough to go home to fight against the Tianwang Sect. When the life span of the Golden Elixir period is approaching, he comes to the vast jungle, trying to find herbs and elixirs here to practice and promote the Yuanying.

He also said that he had already passed away when he saw the hand scroll. If someone with the fate made a great vow to help the Zhong family resist the Tianwang Sect in the future, he would present his income from the Shangyun Danzun Cave and a map to the cave.

After reading the hand scroll, Lin Tianxu decided to accept Zhong Chenghou's conditions after considering it, because the above mentioned alchemy or formation, especially the unknown alchemy recipe, will greatly help him improve his cultivation. As for helping the Zhong family, he may not be able to do it at that time. Even if there are experts from unknown realms behind the Tianwang Sect, the opponents he encounters on the road of cultivation will become stronger and stronger. As long as his strength improves, everything will be solved.

The Great Swear of the Heart Demon is a very special thing in the Chengyun World. If a practitioner breaks the oath, the heart of the Tao will inevitably be covered with dust, and it will be difficult to make progress after the Nascent Soul. There are many examples of violating the oath, without exception. After making the decision, Lin Tianxu was very decisive. After placing the Great Swear of the Heart Demon, he found that there were indeed handwriting and maps. Shangyun Daozun’s method is really mysterious and difficult to describe.

Next, Lin Tianxu first restrained Zhong Chenghou's skeleton, and then calmed down and began to study Shang Yun Danzun's alchemy method and the introductory formation.

The hand scroll left by the ancestor did not involve these, and he had never been exposed to alchemy and formations, so he could only rely on Lin Tianxu's own understanding of these two aspects.

Alchemy and formations are also many schools in the world of Taoism. Most of the alchemy methods use the natural fire in the center of the earth, and there are also powerful people who can use their own dantian heart fire to refine alchemy. Shangyun Danzun is worthy of being a powerful person. He took a different approach and had his own unique alchemy technique.

This method of alchemy is called "Qihuo Alchemy".

In the system of alchemy he has explored, the most important thing is this first level - turning qi into fire. The invisible true qi in the body is controlled to penetrate the palm of the palm, then enter the alchemy cauldron and then turns into tangible qi and fire to start condensing the elixir. Because the true qi in the body can be accurately controlled through practice by oneself, it is easier to control whether it is the size of the true qi and the concentration of true qi, and the probability of condensed elixir will be much greater than that of ordinary alchemy methods.

The elixirs in the world have a elixir rate of 20% to 30%, and 50% of them are rare in the world, while the elixir of Qi and Fire can have an astonishing elixir rate of 70%.

Of course, the size of true qi and the precise control degree of true qi vary from person to person. Undoubtedly, this method of alchemy is very suitable for Lin Tianxu, so I am even more looking forward to it.

In addition, the elixir recipes left on the hand roll include Guqi Pills that assist in impacting the Jindan stage and Ningdan Pills used for practicing in the Jindan stage, which are undoubtedly what Lin Tianxu urgently needs. As for the basic formations for entry, Lin Tianxu can also do some research.

At this moment, Lin Tianxu decided to practice the method of qi and fire alchemy in this stone cave. In addition, he practiced until the late stage of foundation building. The true qi in his body was transformed from qi to liquid, and he was well prepared before looking for Yin Mother Bone Erosion Grass and Jin Shen Flame Fire Wood.

Moreover, Guiyi Palm currently has too many limitations and is unable to cope with many situations in many cases. Whether it is Jiuyou Swamp or Jiyang Cliff, there are monsters in the Golden Pill stage to guard it.
