Chapter 907 The Successor

According to Eldrin's (Person Name) estimation, this Yin Yang Taixu Pill (Elixir) possessed top-tier efficacy even among sixth-grade, superior-grade pills. A Primordial Spirit, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator who consumed it would gain approximately a 60 percent increased chance of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm).

Most crucially, the difficulty of refining this pill was not particularly high. Since it didn't require large quantities of supplementary herbs to enhance its medicinal potency, its refinement complexity roughly corresponded to that of a lower sixth-tier elixir.

Eldrin was able to refine 6 pills in a single batch primarily for this reason.

"With this elixir, your breakthrough to Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) becomes as certain as sunrise."

Scooping up all 6 Yin Yang Taixu Pills, Eldrin smiled and said, "Let's pick up the pace. Once we finish refining the remaining 2 cauldrons of precious pills, you should go into seclusion to break through your realm."

"Very well."

With the experience gained from successfully refining the first cauldron of precious pills, the 2 found themselves even more adept at the second attempt, swiftly achieving another successful refinement.

This batch yielded 7 pills, 1 more than the first furnace, marking an exceptionally bountiful harvest.

After refining 2 batches of Yin-Yang Taixu Pills, Eldrin found himself without any more Taixu Profound Jade. Thus, he proceeded to refine the remaining Netherbloom into a batch of Yin-Yang Shenxuan Pills.

At this point, Eldrin finally breathed a sigh of relief, having successfully refined 3 cauldrons of precious pills.

After refining 3 cauldrons of precious pills, Eldrin obtained a total of 13 Yin Yang Taixu Pills, along with 7 Yin Yang Shenxuan Pills.

With these precious elixirs in hand, the cultivation bases of Lyra, Lila, and others were certain to advance further. Even Maris the Sea Steader's power would experience a significant leap forward.

With this thought, Eldrin immediately headed for the Guyan Mountains and found Maris the Sea Steader.

After meeting Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), he produced 1 Yin-Yang Taixu Pill and 1 Yin-Yang Shenxuan Pill before stating the purpose of his visit.

"These 2 gifts are far too precious, how could I possibly accept them?"

Upon hearing this, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) could not help but be utterly astonished.

Among these 2 precious pills, the Yin Yang Taixu Pill far surpassed the Pure Yang Taixu Pill, while the Yin Yang Shenxuan Pill’s efficacy was twice that of the Pure Yang Pill.

Each of them was comparable to a sixth-rank, high-grade treasure pill, enough to stir the hearts of even Late-Stage Primordial Spirit mighty experts. Naturally, this left Maris the Sea Steader utterly astounded.

It is known that an ordinary Pure Yang Pill can grant a Primordial Spirit, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) practitioner 1 1000 years of cultivation, roughly advancing 1 minor realm. Yet this Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill enables a Nascent Soul cultivator to ascend 2 consecutive levels in succession.

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) had broken through to the Ethereal Soul realm for over a 1000 years, and only recently attained the second layer of Ethereal Soul. By all reasoning, it should take another millennium for him to reach the third layer.

From this point onward, breaking through to Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) would depend entirely on serendipity and destiny. Should fortune prove elusive, 1 might remain trapped in this realm for thousands of years—such an outcome was far from improbable.

However, with the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill, his cultivation would likely reach the Third Perfection of the Primordial Spirit in an extremely short time. After that, if he were to consume the Yin-Yang Void Pill, he would probably break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage within a mere 60 years.

With this thought, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) felt a surge of excitement, yet also a pang of guilt for being unworthy of such a treasure.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the precious elixir back and said, "This treasure is far too valuable. As I possess nothing of equal worth to exchange, I truly have no right to accept it from you."

"Brother Dinghai, with our 1000 years of friendship, why must it come to this?"

Eldrin smiled faintly and said, "Moreover, while the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill is indeed miraculous, a soul formation cultivator can only consume 1 in their lifetime. It holds no further use for me."

"After consuming this elixir, strive to swiftly break through to the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) so you may summon the vast marsh waters to suppress the underground fire veins for me."

Hearing this, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) hesitated briefly before finally nodding.

He picked up the 2 precious elixirs, his expression turning profoundly solemn as he declared, "These 2 Divine Pills are nothing short of a heaven-sent opportunity for me."

"Such profound kindness is naturally etched in my heart. Should you ever have need in the future, Dinghai shall never refuse."

Seeing this, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and spoke calmly, "Over the years, whenever my Chen Family has had needs, Fellow Daoist, you have never failed to lend your full assistance."

"The bond between you and I has long transcended such formality."

"Likewise."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) nodded, finally revealing a faint smile.

Before departing from the Gu Yuan Mountains, Eldrin discovered that the Profound Water Immortal Pear had ripened once more, bearing 3 extraordinarily precious immortal pears.

Eldrin gathered all 3 Profound Water Immortal Pears (Spiritual Object) before returning to the Sea of Flaming Prison.

At this moment, Lyra and the others were already in secluded cultivation to break through their cultivation realms. Thus, he retrieved the Soul Flower from the clan treasury and returned to the Infernal Flame Sea.

This journey was to procure spiritual materials for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, making preparations for the younger generation of his family.

Cultivation knows no passage of time, yet a millennium has passed in the mortal world.

Upon careful calculation, Eldrin had now trodden the path of cultivation for approximately 2,400 years—equivalent to 40 full sexagenary cycles.

Within the Chen Clan, the cultivators of similar seniority to Eldrin were also around 2 1000-some years of age.

Among the younger generation of the clan currently close to Eldrin, Chen Ethan possessed the highest cultivation base. He had already guided his Earth Soul to return to its rightful place, reaching the realm of Half-Step Primordial Spirit.

Elara (Person Name) and Chen Silas (Person Name) followed closely behind, having also attained the Nascent Soul, 9th Tier (Cultivation Realm).

Among Eldrin's disciples, Ye Qingfeng possessed the Pure Yang Dao Body, which could be described as divinely gifted talent. However, his 5 Spiritual Roots made cultivation progress painstakingly slow. After all these years, he had only reached the Nascent Soul, 8th Tier realm.

Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng was not fixated on the speed of cultivation. It was said that he sought to emulate his master by comprehending 5 types of arcane forces to forge a foundation of Primordial Chaos.

Currently, Ye Qingfeng has already comprehended 2 types of arcane power, and it is estimated that he will master 3 types of arcane power by the Nascent Soul Realm.

Although this seemed far inferior to Eldrin and even considerably weaker than Lyra's innate talent, it was already astonishing enough for Ye.

You must understand, even the former Jiang Emperor, at the Nascent Soul Realm, had only comprehended 3 types of arcane forces. Later, upon reaching the Spirit Severing Realm, he was compelled to abandon his ambition of simultaneously cultivating 5 types of arcane forces.

Apart from Ye Qingfeng, Lu Wenyuan, Chen Fusu, Gu Lanshan, and others had also made astonishing progress in their cultivation, with most having reached the 8th or 9th layer of the Nascent Soul Stage.

These disciples all possessed the potential to cultivate their primordial souls. Once they broke through to the Primordial Soul Realm, they would add depth to the Violet Realm's foundation and increase their chances of confronting the Outer Realm Demonic Gods in the future.

Naturally, Eldrin also wished to nurture them, and his current refinement of the Divine Soul Elixir was precisely for their benefit.

"The former master of the Dao Palace once refined 7 Soul Elixirs in a single cauldron. I wonder how many I can achieve now?"

Eldrin gathered all the elixirs required to refine the Soul Manifestation Pill and murmured to himself.

At his current level, while he dared not claim his alchemy skills were peerless in the world, they were likely among the top 3 in the Violet Realm. Naturally, he harbored the desire to measure himself against the master of the Dao Palace.

He then gathered his entire focus, channeling all his attention completely, and began refining this batch of Primordial Spirit Pills.

In the past, when Eldrin first attained the Nascent Soul realm, he refined 4 Nascent Soul Pills in a single cauldron batch.

Eldrin's cultivation had now reached the Primordial Spirit, Mid Stage. His spiritual power had grown twice as formidable, while his soul essence and mastery of the Dao were realms beyond what they had been in the past.

With such a commanding perspective, crafting the Soul Elixir was now second nature to him. Before long, he successfully refined the first batch of Soul Elixir.
