Chapter 904 Yin Yang Immortal Water
"In that case, let us have someone attend to this matter."
Once he had made up his mind, Eldrin personally ventured into the Blazing Inferno Sea, instructing the Elder Uncle to regulate the fire veins and prepare all necessary arrangements for the plan.
However, this alone was not enough. To swiftly channel the waters of the boundless marsh into The Vast Sea (Location), they required a cultivator who had meticulously mastered this very art.
After much deliberation, Eldrin decided to seek out Maris the Sea Steader.
Maris the Sea Steader's Ocean-Quelling Pearl could pacify the vast seas, making it the most suitable treasure for channeling the power of water essence.
However, upon understanding Eldrin's intentions, Maris the Sea Steader still shook his head and said, "With my current cultivation level, I'm afraid I'm still insufficient to channel the waters of the vast marsh."
Eldrin’s brow twitched faintly as he inquired, “If you were to advance your cultivation further and break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage realm, how confident would you be?”
“Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm)…”
Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) hesitated for a fleeting moment before nodding with unwavering confidence. "Should I break through to Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), I'd have considerable certainty in elevating the Ocean-Calming Pearl into a top-grade pure yang spirit treasure."
"Though it remains somewhat forced, given 2 100 years, I am confident we can divert the waters of the Boundless Marshes into The Vast Sea (Location)."
"Excellent." A flicker of delight crossed Eldrin's face. "Fellow Daoist, focus well on your cultivation. In a dozen or so days, I shall refine a few batches of precious pills, which may aid you in advancing another step."
After bidding farewell to Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), Eldrin (Person Name) had essentially laid the groundwork for the mantle plume's critical matters. The remaining trivial affairs could simply be delegated to clan members for execution.
After leaving the Guyan Mountains, he did not immediately return to the Spirit Lake Region, but instead headed toward the far northern ice plains.
Through the boundless void he traversed, Eldrin arrived beyond the Palace of Drifting Snow.
Given Eldrin's (Person Name) current status, the Palace of Drifting Snow naturally dared not show the slightest neglect. Immediately, the palace's Soul Formation cultivator, Frost Fairy Ling Shuang (Cultivator Title), personally came forth to greet him.
The moment he laid eyes on Fairy Lingfrost, a faint unease stirred within Eldrin.
In the past, the Falling Snow Sect boasted a full 5 Eldrin (Cultivation Realm) experts. Yet, in the great wars spanning the last 6 100 years, 3 had tragically fallen.
Among the current Nascent Soul Dao Lords of Drifting Snow Palace, aside from the Palace Master who remained within the 8 Trigrams Grand Formation, only the Frost Fairy Ling Shuang was overseeing the overall situation.
With this thought, Eldrin (Person Name) sighed faintly in his heart, feeling a tinge of melancholy at how everything had changed while he remained the same.
Seeing the complex expression on Eldrin's face, the Frost Fairy Ling Shuang gave a slight bow before speaking, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask what brings you to our Drifting Snow Palace this time?"
"Oh."
When asked by Fairy Lingshuang, Eldrin was reminded of his purpose for coming. He cupped his hands and said, "I have long heard that within the sixth-order water vein of the Drifting Snow Palace lies a Lunar Immortal Pond."
"I have come here solely to seek a portion of the Lunar Divine Water."
"Oh?"
Frostfall Celestial was momentarily taken aback. The Lunar Nirvana Pond was the ultimate heritage treasure of the Drifting Snow Palace.
The Inner Seed's Lunar Divine Water could only be used either for refining Yin-Yang Immortal Nectar or as the foundational resource for the inheritance cultivation method of the Drifting Snow Palace.
Now, Eldrin’s request for the Lunar Divine Water came as something of a surprise to her.
However, despite this, Fairy Lingxuan suppressed her curiosity and said, "Since it is you who asks, I naturally will not refuse."
"However, the Lunar Divine Water is exceedingly precious. I wonder what you would be willing to offer in exchange?"
Upon hearing this, Eldrin fell into a brief contemplation. Currently, he possessed no small number of sixth-tier treasures. Among sixth-tier superior-grade Pure Yang Spirit Treasures alone, he held 4: the Scale-Reversing Sword, the Black Dragon Spear, the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, and the Immortal-Suppressing Seal.
These 4 treasures could all be considered significant assets for Primordial Spirit, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivators, yet to Eldrin (Person Name), they were merely decent artifacts.
At this thought, he retrieved 4 treasures and said with a smile, "These 4 treasures were obtained when I vanquished the Black Dragon. Fellow Daoist, you may choose any 1 of them."
Supreme Pure Yang Spirit Treasure.
A surge of delight rose in the heart of Fairy Lingshuang. Supreme-grade Pure Yang spiritual treasures were exceedingly rare in the world, serving as ultimate trump cards whether deployed in combat or for setting up grand formations.
The Falling Snow Palace possessed only a handful of these artifacts, each 1 a supreme treasure used to suppress and stabilize their foundational qi.
Such a priceless treasure lay before her eyes, making it impossible for her to remain unmoved. After only a moment’s hesitation, she took the Suppressing Immortals Seal and said, “A top-grade Pure Yang spirit treasure is of immeasurable worth. A single 1 can equal 3 portions of the Lunar Divine Water.”
"I shall take 3 portions of Lunar Divine Water in exchange for this Suppressing Immortals Seal. What say you, fellow Daoist?"
"Agreed."
Eldrin nodded and completed the transaction with Fairy Lingshuang.
Shortly after completing this transaction, Eldrin returned to the Eastern Wastelands and headed straight for the Flaming Sea of the Inferno Prison.
This time, having gathered both Lunar Divine Water and Solar Holy Water, it was finally time to attempt refining Yin-Yang Immortal Water and elevate his alchemy skills to the peak of the sixth tier.
Upon arriving at the Flaming Prison of Blazing Seas, Eldrin began refining the Yin-Yang Immortal Nectar.
Although Eldrin had no alchemical formula for Yin-Yang Immortal Water, at his current level of cultivation, he no longer adhered strictly to formulas when refining elixirs.
For him, a single glance was enough to discern the efficacy and spiritual nature of the primary ingredient. Using this ingredient as the foundation, he would then apply the principles of monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy to deduce the Dao patterns. Once the patterns manifested, a complete cauldron of precious pills could be successfully refined.
He could even innovate upon tradition, deriving an entirely new formula for a precious pill from the medicinal efficacy of a single primary ingredient.
Thus, what he truly lacked were the rare spiritual treasures of the world, not the legendary alchemy recipes and legacies.
To return to our story, Eldrin (Person Name) deduced the alchemical formula through calculations based on the Divine Yin Water and Sacred Sun Water, successfully deriving it shortly thereafter.
After gathering all the auxiliary ingredients and spending 20-7 years, he finally succeeded in refining a cauldron of Yin-Yang Immortal Water.
"Whoosh, whoosh…"
On this day, 2 radiant beams of light soared out from the alchemy furnace.
Eldrin’s eyes and hands moved with lightning speed as he swiftly captured the 2 streaks of light into his precious vase, finally revealing a faint smile.
On his first attempt at concocting a sixth-tier superior-grade elixir, Eldrin successfully produced 2 portions—a testament to his alchemical prowess ranking among the finest within the sixth-tier realm.
"This elixir success rate suggests it's time to refine several more furnaces of Pure Yang Spiritual Treasures."
His thoughts racing, Eldrin emerged from the Sea of Blazing Flames and gathered all the family’s Primordial Spirit Dao Lords together.
That day, within the main hall of Verdant Chariot Mountain (Location), Eldrin (Person Name) sat upright in the master seat, a faint smile gracing his lips as he observed the several figures standing nearby.
Now, the Chen Clan lineage alone boasted 2 Dao Lords—Eldrin and Chen Changxuan. With the addition of Lyra, Lila, Qing Ji, Yan Ziji, and Seraphina Qu, the Chen Clan now had as many as 7 Nascent Soul Dao Lords.
Such a powerful Primordial Immortal Clan, while not necessarily unique within the Violet Realm, could undoubtedly be ranked among the most supreme Dao Lord sanctuaries.
At this thought, Eldrin said delightedly, "I was preoccupied with breaking through my alchemy skills recently and hadn't had the chance to take stock of my gains over these years."
"Now that we have a moment to spare, it's time we took stock."
Chen Changxuan nodded with a smile and handed over an account book. "This records our clan's enterprises in recent years, along with some treasures stored in the clan treasury. You may take a look."
Chapter 1 The biting cold wind howled across the snowy plains, whipping fine ice crystals into a shimmering haze. A lone figure trudged through the knee-deep snow, his worn robes flapping like tattered banners. This was Lin Feng, a disciple of the fading Azure Mist Sect. He clutched a small pouch containing precisely 1,250 spirit stones—all his savings from 3 years of menial tasks. Today was the monthly market day at Frostfall City, his only opportunity to acquire the resources needed for his cultivation. "Out of my way, trash!" A sharp voice cut through the wind as a figure clad in luxurious white furs shoved past him, sending Lin Feng stumbling into a snowdrift. Eldrin (Person Name), the young master of the powerful Frostpeak Sect, looked down at him with contempt. "Still stuck at the third level of Qi Condensation? Your Azure Mist Sect should just disband already." Lin Feng clenched his fists but remained silent. He knew any retort would only bring more trouble. Getting up quietly, he continued toward the city gates. The marketplace buzzed with activity, cultivators of various realms browsing stalls filled with mystical items. Lin Feng headed straight for a small shop tucked away in a corner, known for selling discounted cultivation manuals. "I need the complete manual for the Azure Mist Art," Lin Feng said to the shopkeeper, placing his pouch on the counter. The elderly shopkeeper shook his head. "The complete manual costs 15,000 spirit stones. What you have isn't even enough for the first volume." Lin Feng's heart sank. Without the complete manual, he would never break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. The Azure Mist Art was the core cultivation method of his sect, but over countless generations, most of the manuals had been lost or damaged. As he left the shop in despair, a faint glow caught his eye from a nearby garbage pile—discarded items the shopkeeper had deemed worthless. Curiosity piqued, he approached and found a cracked jade slip emitting a soft blue light. When his fingers brushed against it, a surge of ancient energy flooded his meridians. Visions flashed before his eyes—celestial palaces among clouds, mighty immortals battling with techniques that could shatter mountains, and finally, a mysterious cultivation method called the Primordial Chaos Art. The jade slip crumbled to dust after transferring its knowledge, but Lin Feng now possessed something far more valuable than any manual. This was an inheritance from ancient times, lost for thousands of years. Back in his humble room at the Azure Mist Sect, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on his worn meditation cushion. According to the Primordial Chaos Art, he needed to restructure his cultivation base completely. The process was agonizing. It felt like countless needles piercing every acupoint simultaneously as the ancient method purified his Qi channels. After what seemed like an eternity, a warm current finally began circulating through his reconstructed meridians. He had reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation in a single night—a breakthrough that would have taken ordinary disciples years. "Junior Brother Lin!" A voice called from outside his door the next morning. "Elders are summoning all disciples to the main hall immediately!" Lin Feng opened his eyes, sensing the world with newfound clarity. The ordinary sounded extraordinary, the faint seemed vivid. The Primordial Chaos Art had not only enhanced his cultivation but also sharpened his senses dramatically. In the main hall, the sect leader announced grave news: "The 100 Sects Tournament will be held in 3 months. The Frostpeak Sect has declared that any sect whose disciples fail to reach the top 100 will be dissolved and absorbed." Murmurs swept through the crowd of nearly a 100 disciples. Everyone knew their weakened sect stood little chance against powerful competitors like the Frostpeak Sect. "Therefore," the sect leader continued, "we will hold an internal competition in 1 month. The top 10 disciples will receive extra resources and represent us at the tournament." As Lin Feng left the hall, Eldrin approached him with a mocking smile. "I look forward to crushing you in the internal competition, trash." This time, Lin Feng met his gaze steadily. "We'll see." Eldrin's smile faltered slightly at the unexpected confidence, then he snorted and walked away. Alone again, Lin Feng looked toward the distant mountains veiled in clouds. His path of cultivation stretched long ahead, filled with unknown challenges and opportunities. But for the first time, he truly believed he could walk it. He would need to find a suitable weapon soon. Perhaps something like the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure) he'd read about in ancient texts—if such legendary artifacts still existed in this era. For now, he returned to his room. There was much to practice and little time. The internal competition was merely the first step toward reclaiming his sect's honor and uncovering the mysteries of the Primordial Chaos Art.
