Chapter 582 Everything Is Ready

The star-shaped light streaked across the sky and gradually flew into the depths of Tianshui Lake.

"It should be around here."

Comparing it with the map he got from a foundation-building cultivator on Tiancan Island, Fang Ping roughly calculated the direction and nodded secretly.

This place is already close to the area where the golden elixir monsters in the lake appear, and monsters comparable to the foundation-building realm often appear in groups. For human cultivators, it is already a very dangerous area.

Under normal circumstances, most cultivators who come to Tianshui Lake to search for resources and kill spirit fish will not rashly go deep into this place.

It can be said to be a good place for retreat!

Slightly lowering the altitude of the light, after searching nearby for half an hour, Fang Ping really found the uninhabited island marked on the map.

Although it is called an island, it is actually a hundred miles in size.

There are several hills of different heights on the island, and there is a dense forest on the south side, where no humans live. Due to the abundant water vapor in the lake, there is no lack of pale white mist in the mountains and forests on the island, as if a layer of gauze was draped over this place.

Perhaps because there is a high-grade spiritual vein at the bottom of the nearby lake, the spiritual energy here is quite abundant, and there is no shortage of monsters. The strongest one is even at the level of the first-order mid-stage.

"Yes, it's right here!"

Fang Ping circled over the island in the lake for a few times, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

Then, he controlled the escape light and landed on a hundred-foot-high hill on the southwest side of the island.

He casually shot out a ray of scorching sun true fire and killed the foundation-building monster entrenched here. He made a brief calculation around the hill, and then summoned Dahei to prepare to dig out a temporary cave.

Returning to Tianshui Lake, in this place with extremely abundant water spiritual energy, Dahei seemed very active and excited.

The sharp dragon claws easily left deep marks on the solid rock. With the help of the top-grade spiritual weapon Fang Ping offered, a cave was dug out in a short time, which was large enough for four or five monks to practice.

After additional reinforcement with earth magic, Fang Ping took out the [Sky Wind Four Spirits Formation] from the storage bag and quickly set it up near the cave.

As the formation flags were in place, Fang Ping put enough spiritual stones in the center of the formation and activated the formation with the help of the formation plate.

The spiritual light lit up, and the prohibition formed by the weapon pattern attracted the power of heaven and earth, generating blue sky winds, which turned into the images of four spirits, running around the cave to guard, forming a secret and stable formation.

Afterwards, Fang Ping made some arrangements around the surroundings, slightly gathering the fog here, and further concealing it.

Unless it was a cultivator who was proficient in formation, it would be difficult to find any abnormalities even if he happened to fly over the island.

With the help of the Spirit Eye Technique, Fang Ping reviewed his arrangement again, made some minor adjustments, and after confirming that everything was foolproof, he returned to the stone chamber in the center of the cave.

Here, he took out the first-level spirit gathering array and completed the arrangement again.

As the spirit gathering array was activated, the nearby spiritual energy quietly gathered. Although it was not enough to compare with the third-level cave on the Yuanyang Boat, Fang Ping did not expect to practice by refining the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

Spirit stones, elixirs, and sky fire spirit crystals, these are the guarantee of Fang Ping's practice speed!

He took out a hundred spirit stones and shattered them with magic power, allowing the spiritual energy contained in them to quickly overflow and be gathered nearby by the first-level spirit gathering array.

Feeling the greatly increased concentration of spiritual energy, Fang Ping nodded with satisfaction, swallowed a true essence pill, and began to practice cross-legged.

The Great Sun True Method was running at high speed in the meridians around his body, and with the addition of the Great Sun Dharmakaya magical power, Fang Ping's practice speed soared again.

Auras were refined into strands of mana, which fell into the mana lake in the Dantian like fine raindrops, filling the entire Dantian with this golden lake.

As for the Xianzhou Market, which was tens of thousands of miles away and had reignited the flames of war two days ago, it had nothing to do with him.

He was just hiding safely on this uninhabited island in Tianshui Lake, constantly accumulating mana, waiting for the moment to attack the Golden Core Realm.

………

Spring and autumn, cold and summer.

After four years, the island was still deserted, and there was no change from before Fang Ping arrived. During this period, even if one or two escape lights passed by the nearby sky, no one thought of staying here.

Late at night on this day.

It happened to be a full moon, and the bright and clear moonlight fell from the barrier deliberately opened by the Tianfeng Four Spirits Formation into the open space in front of the cave entrance.

Here, the cold moon plate was constantly absorbing the moonlight and slowly condensing the moonlight.

Due to the richness of the moonlight, it took less than an hour for the Cold Moon Plate to exhaust the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and generate a new moonlight energy again.

At the same time, Fang Ping, who was practicing with his eyes closed in the cave, sensed the movement outside with his consciousness. His face lit up, and he walked out quickly to collect the moonlight energy.

"The fifth drop of Moonlight True Dew is only missing the last line. With this moonlight energy, we can complete the task!"

From a jade bottle, he took out the ninety-nine moonlight energies that had been condensed before, and after condensing them into a hundred, he condensed them into a drop of moonlight spiritual liquid according to the condensation formula.

Then, with the help of the moonlight gem in the Cold Moon Plate, the moonlight spiritual liquid was stimulated to generate the precious elixir spiritual object [Moonlight True Dew].

At that moment, a cold full moon seemed to rise in the cave, and it dissipated after a few breaths.

Although it was not the first time he had seen this strange phenomenon, at this moment, he was still touched by it. After a brief pause, he swallowed the drop of Moonlight Dew.

As soon as the emerald dew entered his mouth, it turned into a cool and rich airflow that flowed through his body, continuously moisturizing Fang Ping's body and soul.

This kind of improvement and strengthening does not directly reflect on combat power, but it can invisibly lower the threshold for forming a pill, thereby indirectly increasing the success rate of forming a pill.

However, because he has swallowed it four times, the effect of the Moonlight Dew this time is not as obvious as before.

Even so, Fang Ping still has a feeling: the five drops of Moonlight Dew he has swallowed so far are enough to help him increase the success rate of forming a pill by half!

"Perhaps, taking the sixth drop can barely have a little bit of effect, but it is already the limit."

Fang Ping hesitated for a moment and rejected the plan to wait for nearly ten years for this.

With his current preparations, it is already perfect. If he wastes nearly ten years just for such a tiny effect, it would be a matter of losing the forest for the trees and losing more than the gain.

As for the remaining Moonlight Jade that can condense the Moonlight Dew four times, and the matching Cold Moon Plate, it can be said to be useless to Fang Ping now.

You can sell it after the elixir is formed, or keep it as a reward to a younger generation who likes it.

Waving his hand to restore the Tianfeng Four Spirits Formation to normal, Fang Ping stood up and returned to the cave.

His consciousness looked into his elixir again. At this moment, he was only one step away from the perfect foundation. It would take at most a few months to reach the limit.

The vision of the ninth-level Dao platform was almost completely condensed, and it would be successfully condensed and completed with just the right opportunity or time.
