After half an hour, Liu Wei attempted to reach the Stage 4 Jade Cauldron Manifestation.
He first circulated his qi cycle into strict order.
From Fire to Wood to Earth to tal to Water… Each elent was harmonized.
Liu Wei easily controlled his qi cycle until the fifth cycle, where all elental flows converge in the dantian, condensing into a single luminous sphere.
He then visualized the luminous sphere reshaping into a cauldron, its body forged of jade-green light.
Each elent contributes to its creation.
Fire contributed to the heat of the cauldron.
Wood contributed to the growth of the cauldron form.
Earth contributed to the cauldron's stability and foundation.
tal contributed to its structure and hardness.
Lastly, Water contributed to the coolness, fluidity, and condensation.
Eventually, a faint jade cauldron appeared in his spiritual sea, or as the Verdant Cauldron Sutra called it, the Niwan Palace.
The mont it manifested, Liu Wei hastily fed it with Qi from the Verdant Cauldron on his dantian until it beca semi-tangible.
Liu Wei did not notice the passage of ti, as he was extrely focused on the feeding of the jade cauldron.
Eventually, the inner cauldron has now existed as a semi-tangible tool in his spiritual sea, guaranteeing the success of reaching the Stage 4 Jade Manifestation Cauldron.
As a result, according to the Verdant Cauldron Sutra, he was now able to refine and pre-blend essences of herbs within the mind-cauldron, which was the Jade Cauldron, before external alchemy, raising the pill success rates.
It also allowed him to practice ntal pill refinent without wasting materials.
Liu Wei exhaled a purified breath, even glowing with different colors of the elents.
The pill furnace trembled when the breath struck it.
After all, it felt like it was hit by a pure dicinal essences.
Liu Wei smiled after receiving the praise and congratulations from the pill furnace and Rhayven.
He said, "Thank you."
Afterwards, he went into deep contemplation.
I finally have the Jade Cauldron in my spiritual sea.
It will guide as a ntal willpower, which guides refinent, while the Verdant Cauldron in my dantian will act as qi essence to fuel the inner cauldron.
The Jade Cauldron's function was to be a ntal construct and refining furnace of consciousness.
Thus, it was used for essence harmonization—balancing pill energies and simulating alchemy.
It also strengthened divine sense and willpower with every refinent attempt, ensuring the consistency of Liu Wei's alchemy practice.
Of course, it needed to draw qi from the dantian as a fuel as it could not generate qi itself.
That's why the Verdant Cauldron in his dantian was present.
It acted as a foundation construct that stabilized qi circulation.
At the sa ti, it served as a true storage vessel for elental qi and dicinal essences.
The Verdant Cauldron also directly nourishes flesh, blood, and ridians for physical benefits.
Only when both coexist in harmony does the cultivator qualify as a true alchemy master.
Liu Wei smiled.
Liu Wei rested for a while, chatting with the pill furnace and Rhayven before returning to cultivation.
After all, Liu Wei has to attain Stage 5, Verdant Tranquility.
Once he reached the Stage 5, it would an he has finally and officially reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Stage.
However, before ascending to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he has to spend all his System Points before drowning in debt once again.
I never knew drowning in debt can actually make feel like I'm rich.
[Dimwit, what made you think that way? You're still in debt, nonetheless. Or better to call it, less than poor.]
Liu Wei rolled his eyes and ignored the System.
He then prepared to attain Stage 5, Verdant Tranquility.
The pill furnace and Rhayven went quiet, observing their Master cultivating.
Liu Wei's expression was serene.
Liu Wei then began to check the Jade Cauldron in his spiritual sea.
He smiled when he saw it was stable and clearly semi-tangible.
He also checked his Qi circulation and was assured that the five elental ridians flowed without conflict.
Then, the last preparation he had to do according to the Verdant Cauldron Sutra was to ensure that his body was already purged of major impurities from the earlier stages.
He sneered.
After all, it was rare for him to carry impurities when he tempered his body with the peak Mortal Rank techniques during the Body Tempering stage.
Liu Wei then began to open the ridians required in Stage 5.
Liu Wei now has to refine the micro-points of the Ren and Du Channels, which took him so ti.
Eventually, opening them provided subtle streams for continuous flow.
Liu Wei took half an hour in the process.
Liu Wei then has to open the spinal marrow points.
Opening them was quite tricky since it was not listed among the twelve primary ridians or even the 8 extraordinary ridians.
However, they were considered micro-ridian nodes or secondary acupoints that connect Du Channel with the marrow system.
In fact, this was why Master Wen Ruo assud that most of the alchemists who would cultivate the Verdant Cauldron Sutra would take years to reach Stage 5.
After all, even if he had pointed out to them where the spinal marrow points where, finding them specifically as they were a hidden layer, would take them so ti.
Everyone does not have the sa exact body, which was why it would make sense.
However, Liu Wei's spiritual sense was quite strong.
Hence, it only took him ten minutes to finally locate the spinal marrow points and easily open them.
Opening them allowed qi to circulate like a great bellow, cycling energy through bone and marrow.
Liu Wei then moved on to the next step in the ridian Opening process.
He harmonized the elental ridians into a single cycle of vitality, removing the last traces of discord.
He was able to achieve a state where all five elents inside his body were in complete harmony, not conflicting with each other at all.
Liu Wei was not aware…
But he was already a figure that no one in the Mortal World would dare to compare themselves to…
