The flas surged, a wisp of fla burned among the three legs at the top of the pill furnace, appearing a beautiful azure blue.
Zhong Lin sat cross-legged before the Star-falling Giant Cauldron, his expression as calm as an ancient well, as if he were not practicing alchemy but rely cooking a al.
After a while, Zhong Lin opened his eyes, waved his right hand, and the cover of the pill furnace lifted, while hundreds of dicinal ingredients, wrapped in spiritual energy, were tossed inside.
Huff, huff!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A great blaze surged, wind and thunder roared together.
Just now it was using spiritual fire to warm the furnace, but now this is martial fire refining, extracting impurities from these spiritual dicines with a fierce fla, leaving only the purest essence.
...
Three days later.
The Yin Ruins Dragon Fire beneath the Star-falling Giant Cauldron had shrunk to the size of a fist, no longer as fierce as before, instead appearing like a gentle drizzle.
The entire cave was perated with a rich aura of the elixir, becoming increasingly dense.
Yu Shu was no longer sitting by and watching the spectacle; she was standing guard at the cave entrance, using her spiritual energy to seal any gaps left by the irregular boulders blocking the entrance, fearing that the elixir aura might leak and attract other martial artists or so demon beasts.
The main reason was that the Golden Origin Pill contained Earth Spirit Divine Grass, which had the effect of enhancing bloodlines. Didn’t those two poisonous beasts fight fiercely over it? Now that the Earth Spirit Divine Grass had been refined into an elixir, its effect could be said to be fully realized. Even the slightest leak could cause unknown upheaval.
Another half-day passed.
"It’s done."
Zhong Lin suddenly stood up, waved his hand to extinguish the Yin Ruins Dragon Fire, and simultaneously lifted the lid of the pill furnace.
Strangely, as the elixir finally condensed, the rich fragrance of the elixir filling the cave disappeared instantly, or rather, it all returned to the sea, flooding into the Golden Origin Pill.
Upon hearing Zhong Lin say "It’s done," Yu Shu quickly ran over, her eyes filled with extre excitent, as she leaned in to peer inside the cauldron.
Three elixir pills, resembling small golden beans, were lying quietly in the pill furnace.
"It’s done, is this the Golden Origin Pill?" Yu Shu murmured.
Practicing martial arts from age eight, reaching Transcendent Perfection at sixteen, she had always restrained herself from breaking through with the condensation of the pill, just for this day, hasn’t she?
Now, as the Golden Essence Pill appeared before her, Yu Shu felt as if it were a dream, reaching out toward the pill furnace, fearing that everything was an illusion.
"All three Golden Origin Fruits have been refined into pills, not bad."
Zhong Lin laughed aloud, clapped his hand on the pill furnace, and a surge of spiritual energy transmitted along the furnace, causing the three pills to leap up as if sentient, soaring into the air before all getting collected into the jade bottle.
Yu Shu’s gaze followed the pills and finally stopped at the jade bottle.
Shaking the bottle slightly, the three Golden Origin Pills rolled a bit inside, clinking against each other as if truly made of tal.
Zhong Lin jokingly asked, "So, will you still break through today?"
"Yes, of course I will. I’ve waited for this day for five years, it’s just a shock of mind, it won’t affect ," Yu Shu replied loudly.
"Then let’s start directly! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long ti as well."
Both of them were not indecisive by nature; Zhong Lin directly took out two Golden Origin Pills from the jade bottle, leaving the remaining one stored in the Donghuang Bell.
Yu Shu had previously promised to take only one pill after it’s made, leaving the rest to Zhong Lin.
Although Yu Shu had saved his life before, without Zhong Lin, Yu Shu wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Golden Origin Fruit and Earth Essence Divine Grass, much less refine them into pills.
The life-saving grace would be repaid later.
"You go first! I will protect you, and after your breakthrough, you’ll protect ," Yu Shu said.
"Alright."
Zhong Lin did not hesitate, as observing others’ breakthroughs offered no essential experience. After all, he had absorbed the mory of Chen Jia, which included the process of his breakthrough.
He sat cross-legged on the smooth stone slab, took out a Gathering Top Pill from his storage bracelet, and swallowed it.
Gathering Top Pill symbolizes the convergence of three flowers atop a peak, the rger of essence, spirit, and vitality: essential for breaking through to the Xuandan Realm.
The elixir lted instantly upon entering, and a stream of dicinal power circulated throughout his body, causing the previously calm spiritual energy, Qi-blood, and divine soul to tremble irresistibly.
It’s like adding brine to tofu; the Gathering Top Pill serves as that final crucial component.
The so-called Xuandan, ford from the condensation of the three treasures: essence, spirit, and vitality, finally awaited the final catalyst at this mont.
Boom!
Endless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged forth, wildly rushing towards Zhong Lin.
Yu Shu, standing beside, had a flicker in her thoughts, and with a wave of her right hand, she scattered a plethora of spirit stones around, which instantly shattered, transforming into dense primordial qi that tightly enveloped Zhong Lin.
Sitting there, Zhong Lin at this mont seed shrouded in a dense mist, indistinct and elusive, making it inexplicably hard to penetrate.
Martial arts cultivation involves the forces of the sun, moon, and stars, encapsulating essence, spirit, and vitality; at this mont, Zhong Lin’s physical body, spiritual energy, and divine soul converged powerfully, and under the influence of the Gathering Top Pill, rged into one.
In the next instant, Zhong Lin awakened, gazing upwards at the heavens, opened his mouth, and a pill floated gently into the air, emitting an overwhelming aura.
The bead was precisely the Xuandan that Zhong Lin had just ford within his body, though initially coarse and not yet perfectly spherical.
In the instant it erged, the winds and clouds suddenly changed, with the Xuandan at the center; all the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within hundreds of ters frantically converged upon it.
