Chapter 808 Primordial Spirit Pill Formation
Such treasures are of no less than the sixth rank, supreme-grade artifacts at minimum. For instance, the core regions of the Violet Realm must also nurture a small quantity of '9 Heavens Star Cores'.
Within certain immensely powerful celestial bodies, such as the 'Purple Tenuity Star' and the 'Lucent Star'—mythological stars of legend—the 9 Heavens Star Cores that take form can even rival Innate Spiritual Treasures.
It is said that the reason Emperor Jiang's lifebound immortal sword was able to ascend to the realm of immortal treasure was because it had obtained an exceedingly rare immortal-grade 9 Heavens Star Core.
However, the gestation of the 9 Heavens Star Core was exceptionally slow, and the time required for it to mature to the Immortal rank was immeasurably vast.
Among the myriad celestial realms, the Violet Realm stood as 1 of the supreme major worlds. Yet even here, nurturing a single Celestial-grade Star Core required hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.
Apart from those naturally conceived by the stars themselves, obtaining a 9 Heavens Star Core required the destruction of a star.
It is said that to obtain this 9 Heavens Star Core, countless extraterrestrial demons and malevolent immortals would not hesitate to annihilate entire celestial bodies, all to seize the star core ahead of time.
The extradimensional demon gods of the Violet Realm have repeatedly cast down 9 Heavens Star Fragments (Spiritual Object) to form forbidden zones for demonic cultivation, revealing that they must have destroyed at least 1 celestial star beyond our realm to accomplish this.
At this moment, the Lord of the Jade Balance Star couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile upon hearing him mention the 9 Heavens Star Core. "The 9 Heavens Star Core is an exceedingly rare treasure. If our Star Palace possessed 1, we would certainly never offer it for sale."
"However, there are indeed several fragments of the 9 Heavens Star Core, which are also pure yang treasures of the Sixth Stage."
At this point, the Lord of the Jade Balance Star couldn't help but glance at Eldrin (Person Name) before saying, "However, the value of this item is likely somewhat more precious than the Primordial Spirit Elixir."
"Fragment of the 9 Heavens Star Core?"
Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. A fragment of the 9 Heavens Star Core could be refined into a sixth-order Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, its value starting at 30 to 40 1000 Heavenly Crystals.
In the hands of a master artifact smith, should this be forged into a Pure Yang Spiritual Artifact, its worth might yet increase by several measures.
This item would also be of great use to Eldrin, whether for smelting the Astral Computator of the Great Deduction or refining his life-bound spiritual treasure.
Even if he didn't use it himself, he could always trade it away for treasures with attributes more suited to his own needs.
"The Ethereal Soul Elixir(Pill) won't be of much use to me in the short term. Since he's willing to trade it for a Yang-essence Spiritual Object, this is actually a worthwhile deal."
At this thought, Eldrin mused thoughtfully, "The Divine Soul Pill has yet to be refined, and I must discuss this matter with my wife."
"If the Madam agrees, we shall conduct the transaction with you, brother, after the pill refinement is complete."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Jade Balance Star beamed with delight and promptly said, "My sincere gratitude, then."
Departing from the Starry Abode Temple, Eldrin immediately set out and returned to the Myriad Ruins Continent.
Qing Ji (Person Name) had long been waiting within Spirit Isle Lake (Location). Seeing his return, she inquired, "How went your journey?"
"Everything went fairly smoothly."
Eldrin smiled faintly and removed the Cyan-Gold Glazed Armor.
The moment she laid eyes on this treasure, a glimmer of delight surfaced in Qing Ji’s gaze. Without delay, she produced 2 sets of precious armor—1 orange, 1 yellow—and declared, “With this in hand, it seems we can now proceed to synthesize the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure).”
"Mm." Eldrin nodded, then spoke, "But advancing to the Glazed Armor still requires 1 'Derivation Stone'."
The Derivation Stone is an exceptionally rare sixth-rank spirit material. Within this stone are innate Dao patterns, and when integrated into a treasure, it can stimulate the power to evolve Dao patterns.
It is the key item required to elevate a superior spiritual treasure to the Quasi-Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure (Magic Treasure) realm, and also essential for fusing with the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure).
It could be said that the value of this object was no less than treasures of the Nascent Soul stage such as the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) and the 5 Origins Divine Jade.
Fortunately, although this item was extremely precious, given the current status of the Chen Family, acquiring 1 or 2 of them wouldn't be difficult.
Lila smiled faintly and stated plainly, "I heard the Featherflight Pavilion possesses a 'Derivation Stone.' I've sent envoys with sufficient treasures to negotiate for it, and they should return within these 20-some days."
"That makes things much easier."
Eldrin gave a slight nod. Given his relationship with the Pavilion Master of Feiyu Pavilion, obtaining a single Derivation Stone was naturally a trivial matter.
Indeed, as the group was still conversing, the Derivation Stone had already been delivered to Spirit Isle Lake (Location).
With the Dao-Origin Stone and the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure) in hand, achieving a breakthrough was no longer a matter of great difficulty.
Eldrin took the 3 precious armors and immediately headed for the Blazing Inferno Sea, preparing to begin the ascension of this rare spiritual entity.
After many years apart, the environment within the Blazing Prison Fire Sea had grown much calmer. The once-pervasive miasma of Fire Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root) had largely dissipated under the Old Patriarch's careful regulation.
The ground was covered in molten rock and subterranean flames, while the Realm of Unconscious Perception had also faded considerably. These scattered fire element energies converged within the underground fire vein, refining and intensifying the purity and density of the vein's elemental fire power.
With the aid of such potent earthfire, Eldrin's pace in fusing the 3 Treasures Gilded Armor quickened considerably.
In just 7 years, he successfully merged the 3 sacred armors, refining them into a single Glazed Treasure Armor that shimmered with tri-colored radiance—orange, gold, and azure.
"It is now considered preliminarily complete."
A gleam of delight crossed Eldrin's face. Having fused 3 divine and extraordinary treasure armors, the crucial step in advancing the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures had been completed.
Next, it only needed to be placed within the spiritual vein of Gu Yuan Mountain. Nourished day and night by a sixth-grade spiritual vein for 80-1 years, the Glazed Armor of the 3 Treasures (Magic Treasure) would give birth to pure yang dao patterns, allowing this treasure to fully ascend to success.
At this thought, Eldrin ecstatically stored the treasured armor away and brought it into the Gu Yuan Mountains to nourish its essence.
After completing all this, Eldrin cast aside all distracting thoughts and resumed his secluded cultivation.
Thus, another dozen or so years passed before the Long River Holy Land finally sent a letter.
Eldrin took the letter and glanced at it, then said with a light laugh to Lyra and the others, "To refine 3 cauldrons of sixth-rank treasure pills and succeed in merely 50 years—it seems Elder Changhe's alchemy skills have improved considerably."
"Let us retrieve the Soul Elixir together, and discuss the distribution of the treasured pills upon our return."
The Soul Elixir was exceptionally precious. To ensure no 1 would covet it, Eldrin and Lyra, along with 2 others, set out together for the River Sanctuary.
When he arrived at the Longhe Sacred Land, he found that Riverlord Chang (Person Name) had been waiting in the grand hall for quite some time.
Within the great hall, Riverlord Chang (Person Name) saw their arrival and promptly handed 2 jade bottles to Eldrin (Person Name). "Your timing is impeccable. These precious pills are for you."
"I am in your debt, Elder."
Eldrin smiled faintly, his divine sense lightly sweeping over the 2 precious bottles. Within them, aside from 2 Soul Restoration Pills, he discovered an exceptionally rare Pure Yang Pill.
This sent a jolt through Eldrin’s heart. The Pure Yang Pill could increase a Nascent Soul Dao Lord’s cultivation by 6 100 years—enough to advance an early or mid-stage Nascent Soul Dao Lord by nearly half a level.
Such a precious treasure pill was even more useful to a Nascent Soul Dao Lord than a Nascent Soul Nurturing Pill. He never expected that Riverlord Chang would actually give him 1.
Riverlord Chang seemed to notice his expression and stroked his beard with a faint smile. "This old man has recently broken through to the Primordial Spirit, Late Stage, and my alchemy skills have also seen modest improvement."
