Chapter 286 Refining Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object)

With the Purple Sun Jade now before them, there was no choice left to make. In the end, the Chen family exchanged their spirit island’s leyline for that piece of Purple Sun Jade.

After the deal was concluded, the group returned to Chu Kingdom. Upon arriving in Chu Kingdom, Eldrin immediately began gathering supplementary herbs from the clan treasury.

Among the supplementary ingredients for the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object), aside from Purple Sun Jade and 5 Elements Treasure Crystal, the other spiritual herbs are not particularly scarce.

With the Chen family's influence, it took merely half a month to gather all 32,000 spirit stones.

However, the 5 Elemental Crystals were relatively rare. The Chen Clan now only had a few left, barely managing to gather 1 Profound Water Crystal (Spiritual Object), 1 Li Fire Crystal (Spiritual Object), and 1 Geng Metal Crystal (Spiritual Object).

Taking these 3 precious crystals with him, he immediately mounted his sword and flew to the Azure Sun Mountain to find Lyra (Person Name).

Upon meeting Lyra (Person Name), he recounted the entire sequence of events to her, then produced the 1000-Year Green Essence Ganoderma (Spiritual Object) and said,

"I've gathered 3 5 Elements Crystals, but we're still missing the Eldrin Wood Crystal and Wu Earth Crystal (Spiritual Object)."

"That's not difficult. I have the Wu Earth Crystal (Spiritual Object) here. Although Armor Wood Crystals are relatively scarce in Chu Kingdom (Location), they can be substituted with Yi Wood Crystals (Spiritual Object)."

"Back in the Celestial Ruins Mountain (Location), there are still 2 Yi Wood Crystals (Spiritual Object) remaining within the Yi Wood Earth Vein."

Lyra also revealed a faint smile as she gazed upon the 1000-Year Green Essence Ganoderma. "The refinement process for this Creation Green Essence Pill," she remarked, "is considered relatively straightforward among fourth-tier elixirs."

"I should be able to refine about 4 pills. When the time comes, Elara and your elder uncle will have greater hope of breaking through to the Golden Core realm."

She retrieved the Yi Wood Crystal (Spiritual Object) and Wu Earth Crystal (Spiritual Object), then led Eldrin (Person Name) to the fourth-tier Earthfire Chamber.

This time, the alchemy process was still led by Lyra, with Eldrin assisting on the side.

Lyra was now a mid-level Tier-4 alchemist, and since successfully refining the Sub-Golden Elixir, Eldrin had also reached the quasi-Tier-4 level in alchemy, proving immensely helpful in handling medicinal ingredients.

The 2 practiced the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object) together. The process of refining spiritual herbs was tedious and prolonged, and they toiled for over a full month before successfully concocting several 100 batches of medicinal ingredients.

Reaching this step meant it was time to refine the Green Origin Mushroom. As Lyra (Person Name) prepared the medicinal herbs, she cautioned, "Fourth-tier spirit herbs are exceptionally difficult to refine. You must patiently extract their medicinal properties bit by bit through smelting."

"Remember, you must not be impatient or restless, lest the flames grow too fierce and damage too much of the medicinal potency—the loss would far outweigh the gain."

Eldrin's expression was grave as he refrained from intervening in the handling of the Grade-4 spirit herb. Given his current cultivation realm and alchemy proficiency, attempting to process it would likely preserve but a fraction of its medicinal efficacy.

If we were to attempt the refinement now, even a successful outcome would yield an extremely low elixir formation rate. At present, entrusting this task to Lyra (Person Name) remains the most prudent course of action.

He observed attentively from the side, watching as Lyra processed various spiritual herbs, feeling his comprehension of alchemy growing increasingly profound. It took only a moment for a genius to grasp: (72 Literature) After another half month had passed, Lyra finally gathered all the medicinal liquids together. Through repeated refinement with true flame, she successfully concocted this batch of Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object).

It is done.

As 4 Creation Green Essence Pills (Spiritual Object) flew out of the cauldron, a flicker of delight passed through Eldrin's (Person Name) eyes. With 4 pills successfully refined in a single batch, there would still be 1 remaining after distributing them among himself, the Old Patriarch, and Elara (Person Name).

Lyra accepted a Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object), then handed the remaining 3 pills to Eldrin with a light laugh.

"It's been a long time. Walk with me."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded quietly and followed her up the verdant slopes of Mount Qingyang.

The setting sun cast its final rays across the land, painting the distant sky in hues of twilight.

Amidst the mist-shrouded spiritual peaks and towering mountains, several immortal cranes soared with graceful wingbeats, their elegant forms imbued with a sacred radiance.

The 2 stood in silence atop the mountain peak, gazing into the distance as the lingering glow of the sunset draped over them, casting 2 elongated shadows.

He held her hand, turning his head to gaze upon her peerless beauty. He sensed an aura of solitary pride and aloof nobility about her, sacred and austere like a transcendent fairy from legends, yet tinged with a wordless loneliness.

Suddenly, Eldrin felt his heart racing. He grasped her hand and spoke without thinking.

"This time, let us fight side by side."

"Very well."

She nodded, her grip on his hand tightening as if she were holding onto an entire world.

Leaving Mount Qingyang, Eldrin (Person Name) rode his sword back to Yujun.

He first arrived at Pingyang City to find the old clan leader, then handed over the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object).

The old clan leader received the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object), unable to contain his excitement as he said, "With this pill in hand, this old man might truly have a glimmer of hope to break through to the Golden Core realm in the future."

"Rest assured, with the beast tide imminent, we will surely help you slay 1 or 2 Golden Core(Power Level) beast kings."

Eldrin spoke with a touch of boundless heroism, laughing as he said this.

Without lingering in Pingyang City any longer, Eldrin returned to Spirit Isle Lake and began secluded cultivation to consume the Creation Green Essence Pill.

The Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object) indeed possessed extraordinary effects. After consuming it, he felt a surge of immense energy coursing through his meridians, continuously expanding the pathways within his body.

Although subtle cracks continuously appeared in his meridians during this process, the constant restorative energy of the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object) not only mended them but also rendered his meridians increasingly resilient.

He had built his foundation on his own and cultivated all the way to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion without relying on external aids. His own spiritual power already rivaled that of a False Core cultivator.

Now that his meridians had widened by another 30 percent, the amount of spiritual energy they could contain would increase by the same margin. This level of power was likely formidable even among False Core cultivators.

After broadening his meridians, Eldrin did not immediately end his seclusion.

He then retrieved the River of Heaven Water Sword and began refining the essence of the 5 Elements into this immortal blade.

Back in the Qingyang Mountains, Eldrin had already utilized the power of a fourth-tier subterranean fire vein to fuse the Heavenly River Immortal Sword into this blade, elevating its material quality to the fourth-tier level.

Refining fourth-rank precious gold proved challenging, but with the aid of a fourth-rank subterranean fire vein for tempering, the molten metal consumed a full 3 months of Eldrin's time.

Refining the essence of the 5 Elements was a time-consuming and laborious task. Eldrin had nearly exhausted the clan's entire reserves of Ren-water and Geng-metal energies.

This single effort consumed 250,000 spirit stones' worth of 5 Elements essence and took a full several months, finally elevating this sword to the fourth rank.

"Clang—"

After advancing to the fourth rank, the Tianhe Renshui Sword radiated brilliantly, soaring into the heavens with unparalleled sharpness as it maneuvered freely across the skies.

Watching the tribulation clouds churning across the sky, Eldrin felt utter confidence blooming within his heart.

As a superior immortal sword of slaughter, the Sky River Ren Water Sword already had a 50 percent chance of overcoming the Treasure Lightning Tribulation even before integrating the fourth-grade precious metal. After merging with the fourth-grade precious metal, it naturally possessed absolute, 1 100 percent certainty.

Sure enough, after 3 heavenly tribulations descended, the Radiance of the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword devoured all the tribulation liquid that had showered down, causing the sword’s brilliance to surge by over 30 percent.

"What a fine treasure."

Gazing at the Heavenly River Ren Water Sword, a flicker of excitement surged within Eldrin's heart.

After forging this sword, he would possess 4 mighty treasures: the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), the River of Heaven Water Sword, the Imperial Earth Sovereign Bell, and the Crimson Sun Void-Immolating Crucible (Magic Treasure).
