Chapter 223 – Opening the Dan Seal
Yun Tian Zong’s seven tripods, the origin is quite mysterious, according to rumors, this tripod is Yun Tian Zong founder personally casting, and then sealed in the Yun Tian mountain range, waiting for the fate of the descendants of the disciples summoned out.
It is said that the Cloud Sky Sect founder’s cultivation even if heavenly, but also absolutely beyond the Transformation of God, after all, the cultivation country level Chu has always been the third level. In that case, a dan tripod made by such a person, even if it had some divine abilities, it would definitely not be strong enough.
However, the power of this Heaven Snatching Cauldron was quite baffling, using the word Heaven Snatching to describe it was not in the least bit excessive.
In the ancient scrolls of the Cloud Heaven Sect, there was a legend, the legend of this heaven-robbing nine tripods, in fact, are all fakes, is the Cloud Heaven Patriarch’s early travels, encountered the real tripod, after remembering its appearance, came back to the memory of the forging and become.
The reason why it is nine tripods, that is because with the cultivation of the ancestor, can not be in a tripod, all the memory of the picture into it, he must be divided into nine times, only to be able to put all the impression of the top down.
In this way, the Nine Cauldrons of Heaven Snatching were created.
In fact, this Heaven Snatching Tripod has another magical feature, that is, it cannot leave this Cloud Sky Mountain Range, once it leaves, it is immediately reduced to scrap metal. This phenomenon, attracted some high-level cultivation country also come to check out some, ultimately or nothing, but precisely because of this, also cut off the idea of claiming, but instead changed to support.
Therefore, the Cloud Sky Sect will be so fast development, and has now the name of the first Chu country.
Li Muwan’s demeanor was grave, staring up at the clouds spat out by the seven black dragons on the dan furnace, and said softly, “The method to open the dan seal needs to be matched with heavenly time and geographical location, this night’s cloudy hour and moment is exactly the time when the Cloud Sky Sect’s main hall is refining dan, we need to steal some spiritual power down when that Heaven Snatching Cauldron is refining dan, in this way, we will be able to open this dan seal.”
Wang Lin looked calm, came to Li Muwan’s side, and after taking a close look at the Dan Tripod, he said flatly, “The Cloud Sky Sect has to refine dan at the Yin hour and Yin moment every month?”
Li Muwan lightly nodded her head. With a gentle and melodious voice, she said, “This Heaven Snatching Cauldron. It must be at the Yin hour and Yin moment in order to maximize its efficacy. In fact, once a month, refining pills with the Heaven Snatching Cauldron is a privilege that only all the elders of the Cloud Sky Sect can enjoy. Generally speaking. Certain particularly precious pills. In order to increase the quality and success rate, they all need to be refined with the Heaven Snatching Cauldron.”
Wang Lin nodded slightly. Pointing at the seven-dragon cauldron in front of him, he said, “This cauldron is also a Heaven Snatching Cauldron?”
A smug smile appeared on Li Muwan’s face. In a delicate voice, she said, “Although this cauldron is not a Heaven Raider. However, the effects are similar. This cauldron is from Wan’er’s years in the Cloud Sky Sect. After comprehending the Seven Cauldrons of Heaven Seizing. It was secretly refined. It was intended to be used as a final killer weapon. If the Cloud Sky Sect forces me to do something. Wan Er will use this tripod as a guide. The Seven Cauldrons of Heaven Seizing will be moved, so that the Seven Cauldrons will change during the alchemy, and will be crushed to smithereens. At that time. The infinite spiritual power accumulated in the cauldron over the past thousand years will explode in an instant, thus making the YuanYing stage practitioners of the YunTian Mountain Range too busy repairing to hunt me down and kill me. After all, the importance of this tripod. It far outweighs everything.”
Wang Lin smiled slightly. He nodded and stopped speaking, but instead, his eyes flickered as he looked at the dan tripod. After a long time. He suddenly said, “You just said. This is the Heaven Seizing Seven Cauldrons up here outside the main hall? And the tripod contains a thousand years of spiritual energy?”
Li Muwan was stunned. Nodding her head, she said, “That’s right. The tripod is the one that contains thousands of years of spiritual energy, and it’s only a little more. After all, for countless years. With this Heaven Snatching Seven Cauldrons, countless pills have been refined. There is naturally an accumulation of spiritual energy within it.”
Wang Lin’s gaze suddenly lit up, he looked around the Seven Dragon Dan Tripod for a little while, his right hand gently touched on it, and immediately this tripod emitted a crisp sound.
He didn’t turn around and asked under his breath, “With this cauldron, can you draw in the spiritual energy within the Heaven Seizing Cauldron above?”
Li Muwan’s eyes widened and she immediately reacted and lost her voice, “You want to cultivate within this tripod?”
Wang Lin turned around and smiled appreciatively, “That’s right, if you cultivate within this tripod, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, but it’s not this body of mine right now, it’s my original body!”
Li Muwan looked odd and was about to speak, but just at this moment, suddenly the seven black dragons above the dan tripod, suddenly the clouds in their mouths intensified violently, and large swathes of black mist, spewed out from the dragons’ mouths, fused together with each other, almost forming a black cloud.
In that black cloud, is that stick Dan seal Dan furnace, Dan furnace above, flickering a trace of red mango, at the same time, that Dan seal windless automatic, slowly up and down undulation.
At this moment, in this secret room above the hall outside, cloud sky sect within a few elders, is fully concentrated on looking at the sky, each other’s hearts silently counting time.
These several elders were all alchemy masters of the Cloud Sky Inner Sect, and one of them was clearly Ouyang Zi, one of the three fifth-grade masters.
This Ouyang Zi was originally the first disciple of the previous head of the Cloud Sky Inner Sect, and should have been in charge of the Inner Sect, but he willingly gave up his power and devoted himself to alchemy.
This person’s obsession with alchemy has reached a crazy level, he does not care about cultivation, does not care about power, it can be said that all the things in the world, all do not care, the only obsession, is alchemy!
Ouyangzi’s goal in this life was to be able to refine the legendary Ninth Grade Divine Dan!
Only this goal is too remote, almost impossible to accomplish, to know that even the sixth level cultivation country, can only refine the sixth grade spirit dan just, even if there is an individual genius character, at most, it is only the refining of the seventh grade of the lower level of the elixir.
It was because of the difficulty of refining pills that the Cloud Sky Sect was harbored by the Troll Clan, a fourth level cultivation country, knowing that the Cloud Sky Sect was able to refine fifth grade pills, which was almost the limit of a fourth level cultivation country.
From this, it could be seen that the Cloud Sky Sect’s status in the Giant Demon Race.
As a fifth grade alchemist, Ouyang Zi’s cultivation had even reached the early stage of YuanYing, in fact, if he hadn’t been so focused on refining pills, his cultivation would have reached the later stage and become one of the Patriarchs.
Although his cultivation was only at the early stage of YuanYing, his status was noble, and he was even more respected by YunTian Sect than Li MuWan, an outsider.
On this day, he was preparing to refine a fifth grade spirit dan, for this alchemy, he had been preparing for several years, this time, all the six people other than him, all of them were called by him to refine the sacrificial dan.
The so-called Sacrificial Dan was a unique alchemy method created by Ouyangzi.
In his philosophy of alchemy, refining pills was originally a matter against the heavens, so sacrifices were needed, which was the same as the ancient ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, except that the sacrifices he prepared, were pills!
Ouyang Zi looks white hair, rather old, but its eyes are flashing ghost light, there is a rather bizarre temperament, behind him six alchemists, no one dares to gaze directly at them.
To know this kind of light, in fact, has the effect of taking people’s hearts, used in alchemy above, can see through the Dan tripod directly to look at the work within this with his early years served the Underworld Dan has a certain relationship. The Underworld Dan, is a kind of quite bizarre elixir, serving ten people in only one can succeed, once failed, the end will be blindness.
Such an evil elixir, the effect was naturally good, if one succeeded in absorbing the Underworld Dan, their eyes would automatically form the Underworld Eyes.
He had walked all the way to where he was today on the path of alchemy, the Eye of Underworld, and there was a certain reason for that.
At this moment, Ouyangzi was wearing a wide gray robe, looking up at the sky, after a long time, he frowned slightly and droned, “The old man refining pills is strictly forbidden to be watched by miscellaneous people, Sect Leader, don’t you know that?”
Within the hall behind Ouyangzi, three people walked out, the current one was the Cloud Sky Sect Inner Sect Sect Master, he smiled awkwardly and said bitterly to the two people beside him, “Look guys, I said long ago that when senior brother is refining pills, he doesn’t allow others to watch.”
After saying that, he cupped his fists at Ouyangzi and said in a loud voice, “Senior brother, these two are the honored guests of the third level cultivation country Tianwu Country, and they have requested to attend senior brother’s alchemy in admiration, so look at it, senior brother. ……”
These two people behind him were both tall and thin, but their whole body exuded a huge aura, their cultivation, obviously not low.
Ouyangzi frowned and said icily, “Scram!”
The Sect Leader’s face remained the same, but the two VIPs from the Tianwu Kingdom, their faces changed, and a cold smile appeared on their faces, except that the two of them didn’t have a fit, but instead, they turned around and left.
The Cloud Sky Inner Sect’s Sectmaster sighed, he had long spoken with these two Heavenly Martial Country’s incoming envoys, but these two were adamant in their request to watch. After sighing, he sent his body after them and climbed up to talk with these two emissaries.
In his opinion, after all, these two were here to buy pills, and the price they offered was also quite appealing to him, so they still needed to be pacified a little.
After the three people left, Ouyang Zi heart calculation time, after about ten breaths, his eyes flashed, hands repeatedly pinch seal, body leaped up floating in mid-air, respectively in this snatch the sky seven tripods on top of the seven spiritual skills.
At this moment, his wide clothes danced with the wind, and his entire person looked quite a difficult to understand temperament. The six alchemists on the ground had coincidentally revealed a look of reverence in their eyes.
The Seven Cauldrons of Heaven Taking, immediately after the spell fell, the entire body shook and actually moved, as if a large invisible hand was fluctuating in the sky above, forming a circle.
Six of the tripods formed a circle, surrounding the one in the center.
At the same time, within the secret room under this square, the seven dragons above the dan tripod that Li Muwan had refined, also sensed with it, emitting bursts of whimpering sounds.
Li Muwan deep breath, immediately bit through the fingertips, hands pinch seal, successive blood into seven symbols, respectively, fell on the seven dragons above, immediately after, the seven casting of the black dragon, as if alive, roaring from the dan tripod above the flying up, in the chamber in mid-air coiled each other to fly.
Soon, the seven black dragons have been transformed into the shadow of the Dan Ding, six of them into a circle floating in mid-air, the center of the tripod slowly sinking, and Li Muwan produced the Dan Ding into one.
Wang Lin’s eyes flashed, without saying a word he waved his right hand in front of him and immediately struck a circle of residual shadows that landed on the ground, immediately afterward, he pinched his hands and drank in a low voice, “This father, now!”
Without a sound, Wang Lin’s original self, who had a head of white hair and purple stars printed between his eyebrows, coldly appeared from within the circle of shadows on the ground.
As soon as he appeared, the room was as cold as the winter of three winters, instantly freezing, and even the shadow of the seven black dragons transformed into a dan tripod in mid-air couldn’t help but blur.
Li Muwan stared blankly at Wang Lin’s original body, her eyes revealed the color of remembrance, but soon, it flashed brightly, in her opinion, this is the figure that made her wait for two hundred years, the split body is really too much inferior compared to this original body.
After the main body appeared, his gaze was icy cold and he walked forward, as he approached the Dan tripod in the center of the chamber, he glanced sideways at Li Muwan, who was chilled to the core by this icy gaze. This gaze, she was too familiar, from two hundred years ago when she had just met him, the other party had always possessed this kind of gaze, and now that two hundred years had passed, the coldness in the other party’s gaze was even greater than back then!
Li Muwan took a deep breath and hurriedly pinched her hands together, and under her control, the lid of the dan tripod slowly moved away to the side.
Without any hesitation, Wang Lin’s original body leapt up and sat cross-legged within the dan tripod, and immediately afterward, the dan lid closed.
At this time, in the square above the chamber, Ouyang Zi’s hands stretched out, muttering under his breath, a little later, his eyes flashed, staring at the main tripod in the center, suddenly, that the main tripod above the rich green smoke, this green smoke drifted away between the transformed into a large green hand, horizontally spread out.
Ouyangzi took a deep breath, took out a storage bag, down a pour, suddenly countless rare genius treasure, have fallen, into that big hand above.
Then that big hand a grip, immediately once again into green smoke, back to the Dan Ding within.
Ouyangzi’s eyes flickered as he shouted, “Sacrifice the Dan! The first sacrifice of the Fourth Grade Demon Blood Dan!”
The words fell, immediately on the ground in one of the six people, a few steps forward, a pat storage bag, from which flew out of a white jade bottle, he crushed the bottle mouth sealing wax, came to the side of a Dan tripod, carefully poured out a blood-red Dan from its inside, this Dan appeared, immediately surrounded by gusts of bloody gas.
This person’s face is a little pale, holding this Dan’s right hand, slightly trembling, but still gritted his teeth and threw this demon blood Dan into one of the six Dan tripods in the periphery.
This dan into the dan tripod, immediately that within the tripod came out bursts of sound like roaring, followed by a bloody red light, from this dan tripod suddenly emerged, forming an almost heavenly blood-colored column.
The same scene, in the secret room under the square, was also going on, only to see one of the black dragons transformed into a dan tripod, suddenly flashing red, followed by a red column rushing out from within it, except for the size, it was exactly the same as the sky-high blood column above the square.
Wang Lin’s gaze flickered as he looked at the scene in front of him and asked in a deep voice, “What kind of alchemy is this?”
Li Muwan’s eyes showed a rather respectful color and softly said, “This is Ouyang Zi’s self-created Dan Sacrifice Alchemy, to put it simply, it is to sacrifice and refine several types of fourth-grade spirit dans so as to obtain a fifth-grade spirit dan, although the success rate of this method is still not high, it is quite a bit higher than the normal refining.”
At this moment, above the square, Ouyangzi’s eyes flashed as he once again droned, “Sub-sacrifice, Fourth Grade Luo Lin Dan!”
There was another person on the ground, coming to the side of a dan tripod, and from his storage pouch, he cherishedly took out a dan with a turquoise blue color, and carefully placed it within the dan tripod.
At once, a blue light pillar, appeared in the dan tripod.
Next, Ouyang Zi not a moment, consecutively offered four fourth-grade pills, only to see six different colors of light within the Dan Ding appeared one by one, this scene, even outside the Cloudy Sky Mountain Range, can also be seen clearly.
Ouyangzi’s heart was quite tense, he stared at the Dan furnace in the very center, muttering under his breath: ”It must be done! It must be a success! If it succeeds this time, I will have three fifth-grade pills in my hands, and if I bring the remaining three pills from the clan, I will be able to make up six pills, and at that time, I will be able to use this to put up a fight and try to refine a sixth-grade Spirit Pill with a fifth-grade pill offering!”
His eyes, flashing never before seen light, staring tightly at the center of the Dan tripod, after taking a deep breath, clenched his teeth, shouted: “You and the other six, sacrifice and refinement begins!”
Those six alchemists, their faces showed excitement, if this alchemy was successful, then his six people were the witnesses of the fifth-grade spirit dan, this kind of honor, was the pursuit of an alchemist’s life.
His six body one by one jumped up, respectively knee floating in the circle of the six dan tripod above, the whole body into the six light columns, hands strangling, the body of the spiritual force continuously urged.
Ouyangzi did not hesitate, his body slowly fell, and finally floated on his knees on the tripod, eyes closed.
At this moment, in the secret room under the square, the black dragon transformed into the dan tripod, and the same as the square, have flickered light into six different colors of light columns.
In this pillar of light, there was the Dan furnace with the Dan seal, under this Dan furnace, there was the Dan cauldron made by Li Muwan, and in this Dan cauldron, there was Wang Lin’s original body.
Although the body in the tripod, but did not absorb a bit of spiritual power, at this time all the preparations, in order to open the Dan seal, as for the absorption of spiritual power, to be opened after the Dan seal is not too late.
Li Muwan look grave, her hands quickly change magic trick, respectively fell in the six light pillars, immediately after, each of the six light pillars floating out countless filaments, these filaments slowly extended, and finally all condensed in the Dan seal affixed to the Dan furnace above.
A trace of the spiritual power obtained from the fourth grade spirit dan sacrifice, was taken by Li Muwan in this way, secretly applied, which, solved the problem of opening the dan seal, it must be in the rootless place where the spiritual qi is extremely abundant.
In fact, Li Muwan got the method of opening the Dan seal, there are only two requirements, the so-called geographical location, is the need to find not only sufficient spiritual qi, but also rootless land. This point, Ouyangzi has already helped to solve it.
Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the time to lift the seal.
In addition to geographical advantage, the second requirement was heavenly timing! The so-called heavenly time must be to find the time when the Dan Seal was first affixed, and only if the Dan Seal was opened at the same time would it fulfill the requirements of heavenly time.
The smaller the difference in this time, the smaller the chance of destroying its Dan, on the contrary, if the gap is too large, then the pills will certainly be destroyed.
All of this, in Li Muwan’s account, Wang Lin already know, now in front of the problem is, when this furnace posted under the Dan seal time, in the end is when!
Li Mu Wan looked up a large number of books, and finally came up with a time, that is, Yin time, Yin moment. The so-called yin time, is the time of the day, the so-called yin moment, is three moments.
In this way, the time is three moments of Zi Hour, which is an optimal time for refining and sealing dan, knowing that no matter whether it is refining or sealing dan, it is all about picking the time when yin and yang are separated.
Of course, this kind of alchemy is usually chosen when refining a particularly precious elixir, if it is an ordinary elixir, there is no distinction.
Only this speculation, is not very accurate, in fact there are some alchemists, in order to prevent someone to steal the furnace of the Dan seal, deliberately in this time on the change, so that the other side even if you get the furnace, if there is no accurate time, and ultimately can not get the elixir within it.
Li Muwan got the method, in solving this problem, is to powerful spiritual impact, to slightly reduce the quality of the Dan pill to catalyze the furnace, thus making the Dan seal off.
In this way, as long as the time difference is not too much, you can steadily open the furnace, and the degree of damage to the elixir inside will be much less than if it was opened by the normal way. Only if the time difference was too large, then it would still make the elixir fall into waste.
“Because of the existence of this Dan Tripod, so Ouyangzi’s alchemy this time, the success rate is not high, with my understanding of him, it is very likely that he will perform a blood sacrifice, and after performing a blood sacrifice the spiritual energy will be another peak, at that time, it is the moment to impact this Dan Furnace!” Li Muwan’s demeanor was grave as she whispered to Wang Lin.
Time slowly passed, at this time above the square, Ouyang Zi opened his eyes, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy created by the surrounding Dan Sacrifice, for some reason, it was rapidly decreasing, in this way, it was simply not enough to complete the refining of the fifth grade spiritual dan.
This is the first time he encountered this kind of thing, never appeared in the past, at this time the alchemy of the Dan is at a critical moment, he has no time to worry about it, a cold aura flashed in his eyes, and he drank in a low voice: “Blood Sacrifice!”
Around the six pillars of light within the alchemist, one by one are all slightly changed face, but soon, they will be in the eyes of the color of determination, without any hesitation, have detonated their own inner Dan, in a series of thumping sound, a piece of the blood mist suddenly filled the entire square, at the same time, the wild spiritual energy, crazy in the surrounding roar.
The spiritual energy within the entire square, suddenly reached a high level, Ouyang Zi’s eyes flashed, his hands immediately pinched the seal in the air, sitting down the Dan furnace as if it were a vortex, crazily absorbing all the spiritual energy in the surrounding area, at this time, the six pillars of light also suddenly moved, all of them towards the center of the Dan tripod surged.
Ouyang Zi look even more serious, at this time, can not appear half a point of error, success or failure is here, he has failed many times before, this time, whether it can succeed, he has no bottom in the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the underground chamber, Li Muwan right hand a little brow, immediately sprayed a wisp of Dan blood in the mouth, this blood fell in mid-air on top of the six Dan tripods, suddenly all the Dan tripods suddenly shook, the light emitted by the column immediately collapsed, turned into a point of colorful starbursts, crazy to the furnace surging to the Dan.
Dan furnace, flashing colorful aura, the Dan seal yellow paper, in this surge of spiritual power in the moment, slowly from the bottom of the scroll, and eventually completely rolled into a volume, slowly from the Dan furnace off and down.
At the same time, that within the furnace emanated a spiritual pressure like heavenly might, the furnace boomed and shattered, a cinnamon round size of the green-colored pill, appeared.
But right at this moment, a crisp cracking sound came out from above the green elixir, only to see a crack that instantly appeared on it.
“Seventh grade spirit dan!!!” Li Muwan’s eyes widened violently, and despite some preparations in her heart, she still couldn’t help but lose her voice in shock!
