Chapter 906 Yin Yang Taixu Pill

After forging the Black Dragon Bracelet, Eldrin retrieved items such as the Sunfruit and Voidjade from the clan treasury, preparing to refine a batch of Solar Void Pills.

However, just before igniting the furnace, Eldrin halted his movements and turned to stride toward the vast expanse.

After arriving at The Vast Sea (Location), Eldrin (Person Name) flew deep underground and soon reached a netherworld realm.

After years apart, Eldrin saw Qing once more and discovered that Ancestor Qing's cultivation had advanced yet again, stepping into the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

Although it was known that after Patriarch Qing dedicated himself to the cultivation of the Nether Path, he received offerings from countless cultivators across the Violet Realm, his cultivation progress could only be described as astonishingly rapid.

Yet his astonishingly rapid progress in cultivation still left Eldrin utterly astounded.

At this thought, Eldrin said with some astonishment, "It seems the Patriarch's cultivation will likely break through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage before long."

"Where..."

Elder Qing shook his head and sighed, "My cultivation base was entirely built upon the accumulation of faith energy. Without undergoing the refinement process to eliminate impurities and retain essence, my spiritual power remains unrefined—I fear my realm is profoundly unstable."

"Perhaps you may cultivate to the ninth level of the Ethereal Soul in the future, but wishing to advance further would be nothing but a fool's dream."

In that instant, Patriarch Qing's expression turned both resigned and grave.

His path was a true dead end, for the power of faith was poisonous.

Although this object holds immense benefits for ghost cultivators, the profusion of chaotic thoughts contained within requires careful refinement to purify these distractions before it can be utilized to enhance 1's cultivation.

In his haste to break through to the next realm, Patriarch Qing never bothered to refine the accumulated faith power within. Though this allowed his cultivation to advance with astonishing speed, it would inevitably sow the seeds of grave consequences.

Eldrin understood clearly that this was an unavoidable course of action for Ancestor Qing.

The Violet Realm was the mortal world, where ghost cultivators practiced a path defied by heaven and earth. Every 1 100 years, they would endure a minor tribulation; every 1 1000 years, they would suffer a great tribulation; and every 3 1000 years, they would face a death calamity.

Minor tribulations were manageable, but the great tribulations and deadly calamities were truly formidable. Patriarch Qing had only managed to survive his first great tribulation entirely thanks to Eldrin's (Person Name) assistance.

In the next 2 1000 years, Patriarch Qing would face another great tribulation—a calamity of death was destined to erupt.

If Elder Qing had some chance of surviving the Great Tribulation, his odds of overcoming the Death Tribulation were virtually 0 unless he attained the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm before its arrival.

It was precisely for this reason that despite knowing full well the perils of faith power, Patriarch Qing still recklessly absorbed the fervent devotion to amplify his cultivation.

At this thought, Eldrin felt somewhat troubled and could only sigh, saying, "We cultivators defy the heavens from the very start."

"The path of cultivation has not been easy for you, Elder Ancestor. Should you ever have requests in the future, I shall spare no effort to assist."

"With such resolve from you, I can rest assured."

Elder Qing smiled faintly and inquired further, "What matter brings you to seek me out?"

Hearing his inquiry about her purpose, Eldrin then said, "I have come for the Netherbloom."

"I thought as much."

Elder Qing nodded, a faint smile gracing his lips.

The Netherbloom is a flower of pure Yin, standing at the opposite pole from the Sunfruit of pure Yang. When refined together, the resulting elixir transcends the boundaries of Yin and Yang, possessing extraordinary and profound mysteries.

In the past, Eldrin combined the Pure Sun Fruit with the Netherbloom to refine the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill. Though its refinement difficulty was merely at the lower tier of the sixth rank, its medicinal efficacy rivaled that of a top-tier sixth-rank spiritual elixir.

Now Eldrin had returned once more, hoping to find the Netherbloom again and see if he could refine a few more furnaces of pills rarely seen in the world.

Fortunately, Patriarch Qing had anticipated this and said, "In the past, I promised you I would cultivate more Netherblooms for you. Now, some have indeed matured."

"Come with me."

Elder Qing turned and led Eldrin (Person Name) into a medicinal herb garden.

But within that gloomy, yin-chilling medicine garden grew a dozen or so magnificent Netherblooms.

Among these Netherblooms, 3 had already blossomed, radiating a brilliant netherglow. An aura of utmost Yin purity enveloped them, clearly indicating they had reached maturity.

"To cultivate these Netherblooms, the amount of nether energy consumed would be enough to sustain over a dozen Nether Soul cultivators in their practice."

"It's a pity the time was still a bit short. Only 3 have fully matured so far."

Elder Qing recounted with a measured tone, shaking his head with a hint of resignation.

Eldrin chuckled softly as he plucked the 3 Netherblooms. "With these 3 Netherherb blossoms, I can attempt 3 alchemical refinements of treasure pills. This is more than sufficient."

"Good." Elder Qing nodded, yet shook his head again. "But it's a pity we ghost cultivators can only cultivate using objects of pure Yin."

"Unlike you mortal cultivators who encompass all things, capable of embracing countless streams to jointly harness the power of yin and yang in achieving the Dao."

Hearing this, Eldrin merely smiled and shook his head. "All methods in this world, every path under heaven, have their own reason for existence."

"The Path of Mortality or the Netherworld Path—when any path is pursued to its ultimate end, it becomes a heavenly road to the heavens. In essence, there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority. Honored Ancestor, you need not belittle yourself unduly."

After bidding farewell to Patriarch Qing, Eldrin returned to the Blazing Prison of Flames.

He did not immediately enter seclusion, but instead sought out Lyra and said, "I intend to go into closed-door cultivation to create a precious elixir that will greatly aid in breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage. My lady, lend me your assistance."

"Very well."

Lyra nodded and followed Eldrin into the Sea of Blazing Flames.

This time, Chen Nian sought out Lyra (Person Name) primarily to harness the power of her Samadhi Fire.

Eldrin's Pure Yang Celestial Fire was far too overbearing; using it to refine the Netherbloom would inevitably diminish its medicinal efficacy.

Last time when refining the Yin-Yang Ginseng Mystical Pill, Eldrin had no choice but to abandon flame refinement altogether, relying purely on spiritual sense to decompose the medicinal herbs and forge the precious pill.

However, this approach would be too time-consuming. Thus, this time Eldrin sought out Lyra precisely to utilize her Samadhi Fire for refining precious elixirs.

Compared to the pure Yang heavenly flames of Eldrin, Lyra's Samadhi Fire was derived from the minuscule power of the Taoist supreme true fire—the Samadhi True Fire.

It is itself a supreme immortal flame for alchemy and artifact forging, untainted by worldly impurities, ensuring the medicinal properties of the Netherbloom remain uncompromised.

Now working together to refine pills, Eldrin was responsible for deducing the pill formula and controlling the critical refining techniques, while Lyra managed the intensity of the flames.

With the husband and wife working in harmony, their alchemy progressed swiftly.

Soon after, they combined the 3 supreme treasures—the Netherbloom Flower, the Sunfruit, and the Voidjade—to refine a peerless divine pill.

Yin Yang Taixu Pill (Elixir).

Looking at the 6 precious elixirs before him, Eldrin couldn't help but reveal a trace of delight on his face.

The Pure Yang Ethereal Elixir was a sixth-grade, lower-tier treasure pill of pure yang nature. It contained the power of pure yang and the primordial void, and when consumed by a cultivator, it could increase their chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) by approximately 30 percent.

This Yin Yang Taixu Dan was derived by Eldrin from the Pure Yang Taixu Dan. Compared to its predecessor, both the quality and medicinal efficacy of this elixir have been vastly enhanced.
