Chapter 589. Breaking Through to Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm)

In truth, any elixir formula under heaven fundamentally employs the principles of monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy to devise specific combinations of spiritual herbs and control over alchemical fire.

Eldrin's alchemy had now approached the peak of the fifth rank. At this stage, even without a pill formula in hand, he was already capable of creating his own formulas.

Eldrin could even leverage the medicinal properties of the 2 precious herbs to endure the continuous deductions, ultimately determining the precise ratios of supplementary ingredients and reverse-engineering the formula for the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object).

In fact, this was precisely what Eldrin had done. After 3 years of diligent work, he successfully deduced the formula for the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill.

Looking at the pill formula before him, Eldrin (Person Name) smiled and said, "It should be exactly like this. There might be some differences in the supplementary ingredients, but the resulting pill shouldn't vary much."

"This..."

Lyra gazed at the elixir recipe in her hand, unable to conceal her astonished expression.

She remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "It's not unheard of for cultivators to deduce alchemical formulas from spiritual herbs, but someone like you—creating a fifth-grade formula in such a short time—could truly be called unprecedented in all of history."

"There is nothing to be proud of. In my eyes, this is no different from cooking—merely combining various spiritual herbs to refine a cauldron of precious elixirs."

Eldrin smiled faintly and continued, "Let us attempt to refine this cauldron of treasured pills and see if we can succeed."

3 days later, Eldrin gathered all the spiritual herbs and began refining the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill.

Although they had simulated the process numerous times, Eldrin proceeded with extreme caution when attempting the actual refinement. The 2 worked painstakingly for 7 full years before finally succeeding in crafting this cauldron of Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill.

Perhaps it was because of the Nascent Soul he had created himself, but this batch of Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object) was refined with exceptional smoothness, yielding a full 7 precious pills.

This even left Eldrin somewhat astonished. Refining 7 fifth-rank treasured pills in a single batch—this level of alchemy skill was already considered quite remarkable even among top-tier fifth-rank alchemists.

Gazing at the 7 precious elixirs before her, Lyra (Person Name) felt both astonishment and delight, unable to resist saying, "Shall we find someone to test these pills?"

"Forget it."

Eldrin shook his head. A single Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill was worth over a 100 Heavenly Crystals—how could he bear to let anyone test its efficacy?

Moreover, he was absolutely certain that the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object) was flawless. After all, it was a pill he had personally refined, and no 1 understood its medicinal efficacy better than he did.

That being said, Eldrin first performed the Great Divination Art to deduce any potential risks. Only after confirming the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill posed no issues did he declare, "I shall enter seclusion to consume this elixir. My lady, I entrust you to guard my cultivation."

"Very well."

Lyra nodded and began safeguarding his cultivation.

After Eldrin (Person Name) swallowed the elixir, he felt an overwhelmingly potent medicinal energy surge forth from the precious pill, wildly nourishing his physical body and spiritual soul.

The Nascent Soul, in particular, continuously absorbed the medicinal efficacy, growing increasingly profound and powerful in a short span of time.

No 1 knew how much time had passed when Eldrin suddenly felt both his Nascent Soul and spiritual power had reached the peak of the 2nd Tier of the Nascent Soul Realm, even brushing against the threshold of Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm).

"Now!"

As if blessed by divine insight, he instantly channeled his spiritual power and effortlessly shattered the barrier to Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm), ascending into its profound depths.

Over the next 50 years, his cultivation progressed steadily without slowing. Not long ago, he had also obtained Lila's (Person Name) primordial yin essence, and unknowingly, his spiritual power surged by another small increment.

Now, upon consuming this Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object), which further enhanced his cultivation by half a level, it unexpectedly propelled him straight to the Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm). Remarkably, less than 80 years had passed since his initial breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

This was truly astonishing, for 80 years was far too brief for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Many would have only just consolidated their cultivation base in 80 years, requiring another 2 to 3 100 years to break through to the next level.

It was merely that Eldrin (Person Name) possessed extraordinary fortune. First, he obtained the primordial yin of peerless prodigies like Lyra (Person Name) and Lila (Person Name), then successfully refined a cauldron of Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object).

Were an ordinary True Lord with dual spiritual roots to consume that Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object), it would be sufficient to advance their cultivation by 1 full stage.

However, the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill (Spiritual Object) could only be consumed once by a Nascent Soul Lord. Any further attempts to rapidly increase cultivation through such means would be virtually impossible.

Witnessing Eldrin’s breakthrough in cultivation, Lyra exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “Is the effect of this Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill truly this remarkable?”

After saying this, she took out a pill and consumed it. When he had fully refined the treasure elixir, he frowned upon realizing he was still some distance away from reaching Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier (Cultivation Realm).

With just 1 glance at Eldrin, she immediately understood the reason and shot him a resentful glare.

Eldrin gave an awkward chuckle, drawing her into his embrace as he said, "Do not fret, my lady. Once we begin cultivating together, you will surely reach Nascent Soul, 3rd Tier in no time."

Emerging from the seclusion chamber, Eldrin distributed the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill to the True Monarchs of the Chen family, only to discover 1 pill remained in his hand.

Eldrin was contemplating how to handle the elixir when Lyra spoke up, "Ziji has been like a sister to me. All these years wandering alone haven't been easy for her—let's give this Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng Pill to her."

"As you wish, my lady."

Eldrin nodded in understanding. By now, he had come to comprehend the relationship between Yan Zijie and Lyra.

Their connection traces back to Emperor Jiang. Before ascending to immortality, Emperor Jiang left behind 3 direct successors—1 son and 2 disciples: Jiang the Demon-Slayer, the Dao Lord of Violet Heavens, and the Dao Lord of Azure Void.

Among the 3, Jiang Demon-Subduer was Lyra's father, while the direct lineage left behind by Dao Lord Zihuan was Yan Purple Princess. As for Qingxu's direct descendant, she was known as the Azure Princess.

The 3 of them—Lyra, Qingji, and Yan Zi—had grown up together since childhood, as close as sisters sharing whispered secrets in their chambers. Their bond had always been unbreakable. Among the trio, Lyra possessed the most exceptional innate talent, Qingji had the highest comprehension of the Dao, while Yan Zi’s gifts were more moderate—though by the world’s standards, she was still a rare prodigy.

当初浩劫之时，三人各自被送往十万里大荒，Lyra (Person Name)身边的守护最为周全，宴紫姬并非是妖魔最大的目标，反而是青姬被妖魔暗中盯上，最终是不知所踪。

Strictly speaking, Qingji (Person Name) operated in the open while Lyra (Person Name) worked in the shadows—she had taken a calamity in Lyra's stead. This left Lyra (Person Name) harboring a lingering sense of guilt in her heart.

All these years, Qing Ji had vanished without a trace—no sight of her among the living, no body among the dead. Even her soul lamp had long been extinguished, suggesting she had likely fallen years ago. Of her childhood confidantes, only Yan Zi Ji remained.

Seeing Eldrin agree, a smile blossomed in Lyra's enchanting eyes. "Yan Ziji possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root and only has 1 Lifebound Spiritual Treasure to nurture. After consuming the Yin-Yang Treasure Ginseng, the effects will undoubtedly be far more potent for her than for either of us."

"Perhaps she might even surpass us both and reach the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) ahead of schedule."

"This is a good thing." Eldrin also gave a slight nod before continuing, "If she can reach Nascent Soul, Mid Stage before the Abyssal Cataclysm, we'll have a powerful ally to rely on."
