Jia Ren bade farewell to Ancestor Ji Kong, holding the Shedding God Pill in his hand, he couldn’t contain his joy.
A premium Molting Divine Pill was incredibly expensive, with an exchange price of at least several million Sect contributions.
His current Sect contributions were still insufficient to exchange for one.
In this world, only a few people would give away a precious Spirit Pill for nothing.
Previously, there was Wang Fugui, and now, there was another, Ancestor Ji Kong.
The most important thing is the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill!
A premium Molting Divine Pill could roughly increase the success rate of advancing to Divinity Transformation by thirty to forty percent. Without any mishaps, the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill almost guaranteed a near-perfect chance of advancent.
The two were not even in the sa league in terms of value, as the price of the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill far exceeded that of several Spiritual Treasures.
Jia Ren returned to his Cave, setting up the Five Treasures Chaotic Deity Array and the Inverted Primordial Treasure Light Array.
Together with Spiritual Treasures, the power of these two Formations was formidable.
After incorporating the Bewildering Spirit Bead as the core Spiritual Treasure of the Five Treasures Chaotic Deity Array, its ability to affect perception and detection dramatically increased, making it extrely practical.
「For the next two years」
Jia Ren delved daily into Alchemy, deducing and optimizing Alchemy Recipes.
The rest of the ti, he gathered the necessary supplentary materials for Alchemy and practiced the Special Secret Technique from the Jade Slip given by Ancestor Ji Kong.
The Secret Technique was nad the Spirit Attracting Technique!
This was a thod Gate specifically created to enhance the body’s refinent by nature’s Spiritual Energy after advancing to Divinity Transformation.
It could enhance the effect of transforming into a Spiritual Body.
The acquired Spiritual Body was no match for the Heavenly Treasure Body, but it was still far better than before.
Anything that could increase his cultivation speed was worth Jia Ren’s special attention.
He would not attempt to advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage until he had cultivated the Spirit Attracting Technique to a Technique-Nearing-Dao Level.
「Two years passed in the blink of an eye.」
His ti for Refining Treasures ended, and he returned to his assignnts of refining Spiritual Treasures.
As usual, Jia Ren went to the Epsilon-29 Refining Workshop and began refining the Heavenly Fire God Cover with practiced ease.
Unlike his first ti refining the Heavenly Fire God Cover, this second attempt took less ti, only four and a half years.
Unfortunately, the two years of extra ti for newcors only applied to the first Spiritual Treasure they refined. Thus, the ti limit for this assignnt was only ten years.
Completing the Heavenly Fire God Cover ahead of schedule would leave him with five and a half years of free ti.
Five years would be ample ti to refine the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill.
He quietly left the Refining Workshop and returned to his Cave. After activating the two treasured Formations, he began to refine the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill.
Yimu Spirit Fire!
Jia Ren took out the Heavenly Fire Nether Lamp. A large clump of cyan Spiritual Fire flew out from it and into the Pill Furnace.
The Earth Vein Purple Lotus was a Heavenly Earth Elixir. Unlike ordinary Spiritual dicine, contact with normal flas would significantly affect its potency. Only a few wood-elent Spiritual Fires, like the Yimu Spirit Fire, could be used to refine the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill.
Without the Alchemy Recipe from the Lingbao Sect, he wouldn’t know how many detours he would have taken in his own research, and he might have damaged the hard-won Heavenly Earth Elixirs.
Under Jia Ren’s control, the wood fire manifested from the Yimu Spirit Fire ticulously extracted the dicinal properties of the Earth Vein Purple Lotus, a slow and gentle process.
Compared to other alchemy thods, the Yimu Spirit Fire Refining thod was slow.
However, with Jia Ren’s superb fire control, concentrating the fla to a single point, his efficiency using the Yimu Spirit Fire for alchemy was several tis that of an ordinary person.
The dicinal power and essence within the Earth Vein Purple Lotus were gradually extracted, leaving behind only an empty husk. After all its essence was drawn out, the husk turned to ash in the flas.
Next, he extracted the essence from the supplentary Spiritual dicines. According to their properties, he prioritized rging several of these extracted essences with the dicinal power derived from the Earth Vein Purple Lotus.
He executed a variety of complex Pill Spells, adapting them to the different dicinal properties.
Jia Ren was adept at this, and his alchemy speed was extrely fast.
「Four years later」
The scent of Elixirs perated the Alchemy Room.
The lid of the Pill Furnace opened, revealing three purplish-black Pills that were particularly eye-catching.
Three Pills ford? The number had exceeded his expectations.
The only downside was that the quality of the Elixir was average, barely reaching the premium grade.
This was the... negative consequence of managing to produce three Earth Pulse Lotus Pills.
Jia Ren was very satisfied with this result.
Each refined Earth Pulse Lotus Pill was devoid of impurities. This avoided the negative side effects on the body that could result from ingesting raw Spiritual dicine, which contained other inherent dicinal properties that could be detrintal.
The efficacy of the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill was not inferior to that of the Earth Vein Purple Lotus. Consuming one would ensure his smooth Advancent to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
The remaining two Earth Pulse Lotus Pills would be given to his Insect External Incarnation and Xuan Beast Avatar to help them both advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
In this way, all three Earth Pulse Lotus Pills would be put to good use without any waste.
Still, it’s better to wait until the Artifact Refining period is over before applying for Advancent to the Divinity Transformation Stage!
With only two years of free ti remaining, aiming to advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage within such a short period was too rushed.
He hastened back to the Refining Workshop, considering his next steps.
Refine the Heavenly Fire God Cover again? Or ensure I have ample ti for the breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage?
How could advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage within the Lingbao Sect possibly go unnoticed by its High-Order Cultivators?
Unless I leave the Lingbao Sect and find a place to secretly advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
That option is far too dangerous!
The Mysterious Realm is unlike the Sealed Land; it’s teeming with powerful experts and nurous masters.
With the Lingbao Sect engaged in war with the Shimo Sect, who knows how many other sects are covetously eyeing the Lingbao Sect from the shadows?
Not to ntion myself, a Cultivator with ties to the Heavenly Treasure Body.
Last ti, Fan Lin lured out of the Sect, and I nearly fell into an ambush by a Cultivator from the Dark Demon Sect.
That incident, not long ago, is still vivid in my mory.
Run out now? Breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Stage under the very eyes of enemies? Am I courting death too eagerly? Do I think Demon Cultivators are blind?
I would rather break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage within the Sect than risk journeying outside.
In that case, the only remaining thod is... to apply to the Sect for Advancent to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Advancent can exempt one from missions, granting ti provided by the Sect to break through.
Zhuo Chengdao used this thod to avoid ongoing participation in the Secret Realm Battlefield, and that has continued to this day.
I can also use this thod.
I could delay, wait for several decades, and then advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage.
However, doing so would only waste my precious ti and offer no other benefits.
It can’t be concealed after all!
Advance to the Divinity Transformation Stage!
Besides that, I must find a Spiritual Treasure to shelter my mind and help protect my ntal state.
The Lingbao Sect certainly has such Spiritual Treasures; if only I could borrow one.
If I could trade for such a Spiritual Treasure, that would also be an excellent choice.
Jia Ren was in no rush to leave the Refining Workshop. He continued to ditate and cultivate, increasing the Proficiency Level of his Spirit Attracting Technique.
This secret technique was just a little shy of reaching the Technique-Nearing-Dao Level.
「In the following period」
Jia Ren solidified his Cultivation Level and improved the Proficiency Level of his Spirit Attracting Technique.
「After more than a year had passed」
Jia Ren left the Cultivation Room and proceeded to the Refining Workshop where the Refiner Hall Master resided.
"Hall Master, this is the Spiritual Treasure I have refined."
Before Jia Ren arrived, he had already inquired with several fellow Sect Brothers with whom he was in contact.
Unfortunately, they had already entered the Secret Realm Battlefield.
Ma Zhongyuan was an Inner Sect Disciple and hadn’t participated in the Secret Realm Battlefield. The problem was... he lacked the qualifications to exchange for a Spiritual Treasure.
As for... Ma Tianbao, unfortunately, the quality of the Spiritual Treasures he possessed was even better than the one I refined.
Having no alternative, this Spiritual Treasure could only be handed over to the Lingbao Sect.
"This is the Heavenly Fire God Cover you’ve refined? The quality is good!"
"You indeed possess considerable talent for Artifact Refining," said Refiner Hall Master Guo Ningyuan as he examined the Heavenly Fire God Cover. With his experience, he could discern the quality of the Spiritual Treasure at a glance.
Becoming a Spirit-level Refiner and being able to refine a Spiritual Treasure so soon truly demonstrates his extraordinary talent.
"Hall Master, my Cultivation Level has already reached Nascent Soul Completion. In the coming ti, I will focus entirely on breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Stage. I kindly ask for the Hall Master’s permission."
Even though Jia Ren belonged to the Heterodox Lineage, under normal circumstances, such a matter would require reporting to Heterodox Peak.
Jia Ren was different. Currently being in the Refining Palace, he needed to inform the Refiner Hall Master.
"Nascent Soul Completion?"
Refiner Hall Master Guo Ningyuan looked baffled. He rembered that Jia Ren was only at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage when he first joined the Refining Palace. How has he reached Nascent Soul Completion so quickly?
Then he recalled that Jia Ren was Ancestor Ji Kong’s disciple and had mastered the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art, and his surprise faded.
Although the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art wasn’t well-regarded by Artifact Refiners, their resentnt towards Ancestor Ji Kong actually stemd from his refusal to share it within the Lingbao Sect.
Ancestor Ji Kong kept it to himself, and fellow Sect Cultivators who wanted to exchange Divine Skills with him were all turned away.
This was also the primary reason why Lingbao Sect’s Artifact Refiners disliked Ancestor Ji Kong.
If the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art were made public within the Sect, who would use it the most?
Without a doubt, it would be the Spirit Treasure Refiners.
If the Spirit Devouring Treasure Art were released, the Lingbao Sect would face a frenzy of Spiritual Treasures being devoured.
How many could resist the temptation to devour Spiritual Treasures and rapidly improve their Cultivation Level?
By then, with a large number of Spiritual Treasures devoured, the Lingbao Sect would struggle to find many usable ones left. Could it still... be called the Lingbao Sect?
Renaming it the "Spirit Devouring Sect" might be more appropriate.
"Given Ji Kong’s personality, he definitely prepared a Shedding God Pill for you."
"As a mber of the Hall of Artifice, the Refining Palace will support you."
"This Spiritual Treasure is called the Spirit-protecting Heart Jade. It’s an item used to guard the mind. It can shelter you from the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and also assist you in overcoming your Heart Demon. I will lend it to you."
A palm-sized green Spirit Jade was passed to Jia Ren. It was a rare Spiritual Treasure for protecting the mind.
With this item in hand, Jia Ren’s last shortcoming was addressed, and his hopes of advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage grew even stronger.
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
Guo Ningyuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "The Lingbao Sect has the Ascending Divine Secret Realm."
"Go to the Ascending Divine Secret Realm for closed-door cultivation to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage. It will aid in grasping the Dao of Heaven and Earth and transforming into a Divinity Transformation cultivator."
Having given his instructions, Guo Ningyuan gestured for him to leave.
The Ascending Divine Secret Realm?
Why haven’t I heard Master or Elder Brother Zhuo ntion it before?
Could there be a problem with it?
Breaking through within the Lingbao Sect, with many Ancestors providing protection, ans no one would dare to breach the Sect just to target an insignificant character like .
But a Secret Realm is different!
Xia Zonglong from the Shimo Sect once broke into the Giant Divine Secret Realm; the sa could happen in the Ascending Divine Secret Realm.
Jia Ren was unwilling to risk his life.
He especially didn’t want his advancent to the Divinity Transformation Stage to be affected by external factors, potentially leading to his death and the dissipation of his Dao.
With the Earth Pulse Lotus Pill in hand, his advancent to the Divinity Transformation Stage was practically guaranteed. There was no need to take such risks.
With these thoughts in mind, he decided to conduct his closed-door cultivation within his Cave.
Jia Ren returned to his Cave and activated the Formations.
The Earth Pulse Lotus Pill, Shedding God Pill, Fasting Pill, Vein-protecting Pill, Six Revolutions Resurrection Pill, the Spirit-protecting Heart Jade, and other treasures were neatly laid out before him.
Whether I can break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage or not, success or failure hinges on this.
