Chapter 908 : The Peerless Alchemy of Eldrin Chen

Gazing upon this cauldron of Nascent Soul Pill [a legendary elixir that aids in the formation of a cultivator's Nascent Soul], a glimmer of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.

This first batch yielded six pills. While it could not match the Master of the Dao Palace's legendary feat of seven pills per cauldron, this Pill Success Rate [the ratio of successful pills produced from a single alchemical refinement] was still exceptionally high, placing it among the most elite achievements in the entire world.

After completing the first batch, Eldrin Chen pressed on with unwavering focus. His second attempt saw a breakthrough, producing a full seven Treasure Pill [a general term for high-grade, potent elixirs].

Seven Primordial Soul Treasure Pill [a specific, supreme-grade elixir for nurturing the Primordial Spirit] from a single cauldron—this level of Alchemy [the art of refining spiritual ingredients into elixirs and pills] could rightfully be called peerless in the world. Even an existence like the Master of the Dao Palace could achieve no more.

Having refined two batches of the Primordial Soul Treasure Pill, Eldrin Chen did not pause. He immediately retrieved the Profound Water Immortal Pear [a mystical fruit imbued with profound water-element spiritual essence] and the Crimson Fire Immortal Jujube [a sacred fruit blazing with pure yang and fire-element energies].

"The Crimson Fire Immortal Jujube is a Pure Yang [pertaining to the ultimate masculine, solar principle of cosmic energy] Spirit Fruit [a fruit that grows by absorbing dense spiritual energy, possessing miraculous properties]. It can nourish a cultivator's soul and Mana [the internal reservoir of spiritual power used to cast techniques]. The Profound Water Immortal Pear, meanwhile, contains a profound and potent essence of water-element Dao principles. It can strengthen a Grand Cultivator's [a title for a powerful, high-realm cultivator] Nascent Soul [the spiritual infant formed within a cultivator's dantian, representing a higher state of being] and physical body, and it also has remarkable effects for Earth Soul Guidance [a cultivation art or process related to guiding or nurturing the Earthly aspect of the soul]."

"If these two Spirit Fruit could be fused into one, refined into a single batch of Treasure Pill that strengthens a Grand Cultivator's soul and Nascent Soul, it would undoubtedly significantly increase a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the original, primordial spiritual core of a being, a transcendent state beyond the Nascent Soul]."

Holding the two precious Spirit Fruit in his hands, Eldrin Chen murmured these thoughts to himself.

With the Profound Water Immortal Pear now ripe and the Crimson Fire Immortal Jujube fully manifested, Eldrin Chen prepared to seize this opportunity. He intended to deduce a new Pill Formula [the precise recipe and refinement process for creating a specific type of pill], to see if he could combine the two Spirit Fruit into a single batch of pills to aid in the breakthrough to Primordial Spirit.

No sooner thought than done. Eldrin Chen immediately began deducing the Pill Formula, meticulously analyzing the medicinal properties and spiritual essences of the two Spirit Fruit. Dive deeper into the Dao at www . audio-novel.com.

After spending several years in this endeavor, he used the two Spirit Fruit as the primary ingredients to deduce and formulate an entirely new Pill Formula.

This Pill Formula was founded upon the Profound Water Immortal Pear and the Crimson Fire Immortal Jujube, supplemented by tens of thousands of Spirit Medicine for its refinement, making the preparatory process exceptionally intricate and time-consuming.

To manage this, Eldrin Chen specifically summoned over thirty Fifth Rank Alchemist, and the processing of the auxiliary ingredients alone consumed several years.

Thereafter, he devoted another ten-plus years before finally succeeding in refining this furnace of Treasure Pill.

"It is done."

Upon completion, the Treasure Pill numbered a total of six. They possessed a hue of Primordial Unity, with faint traces of Dao [the fundamental principle or path] essence swirling upon their surface, appearing profoundly mystical and extraordinary.

Gazing upon the successfully refined Treasure Pill, Eldrin Chen could not help but reveal a look of delight. "This pill consumed six Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Fruit, and the first batch yielded six pills," he declared. "Let it be named the Six-Six Return to Origin Pill."

After bestowing the name, Eldrin Chen remained filled with joy.

This Six-Six Return to Origin Pill was an exceptionally superior grade of Pure Yang Treasure Pill, capable of greatly augmenting the physical body and Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] power of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

For an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord who consumes this pill, their Primordial Spirit, Mana, and physical body would undergo a profound metamorphosis. Their foundational cultivation would receive a tremendous boost, and their chances of achieving a breakthrough would increase by a full twenty percent.

If one consumes this pill when attempting to breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing the highest stage of spiritual refinement before ascension], it would not only greatly enhance one's foundation and Mana [the refined spiritual energy used to cast spells and techniques], but also leverage its vast medicinal power to attract the Heavenly Soul [the celestial aspect of one's soul, necessary for achieving higher realms of cultivation], thereby increasing a cultivator's chances of a successful Primordial Spirit breakthrough.

It can be said that with the aid of this pill, combined with the power of the Nascent Soul Pill, a cultivator's likelihood of breaking through to Primordial Spirit would likely increase by at least five or six out of ten chances.

Thinking of this, Eldrin Chen could not help but murmur to himself, "With the help of this pill, even Elara Lin and Silas might gain a not insignificant chance of breaking through to Primordial Spirit."

With this thought in mind, Eldrin Chen did not linger on Spirit Lake Isle and instead sought out Thalion Chen.

After hearing about the Treasure Pill [a pill of exceptional quality and power, often requiring rare ingredients and masterful alchemy] he had refined, Old Granduncle could not contain his joy and exclaimed, "For you to refine this furnace of Treasure Pill using the power of a heaven-and-earth Spirit Fruit [a fruit imbued with potent spiritual energy, often ripening over centuries], you have truly set a precedent for Purple Realm and opened a path for future generations."

"With this Six-Six Return to Origin Pill, it seems our Chen Clan is destined for a great flourishing."

Eldrin Chen also smiled and said, "Among the several furnaces of Treasure Pill I refined this time, setting aside the Yin-Yang Void Pill and the Yin-Yang Enlightenment Pill for now, the Nascent Soul Pill and the Six-Six Return to Origin Pill require some specific arrangements."

"Hmm." Thalion Chen nodded, then began calculating on his fingers. "The clan has quite a few cultivators with the aptitude for Primordial Spirit who have also cultivated their cultivation to the Nascent Soul Late Stage."

"Besides the three disciples under you and your wife—Sylas, Alistair, and Lana—we must also support Caspian, Silas, Ethan, and Elara Lin."

Pausing here, Old Granduncle continued, "I believe the Six-Six Return to Origin Pill should remain within the clan."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod. Among the family's current Nascent Soul Seed [a cultivator who has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm and is ready to attempt a breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm], Sylas Ye possessed exceptional talent and had refined a Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade spiritual artifact imbued with the purest Yang energy]. He likely required no external aid to successfully break through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a higher state of being beyond the Nascent Soul].

The same could be said for Alistair Lu, Lana Gu, and Caspian Chen. With just a modicum of support, their future prospects were truly boundless.

Elara Lin and Silas Chen were somewhat less gifted. They would require focused assistance, as they were merely Earthly Dao Nascent Soul [a cultivator who formed their Nascent Soul by comprehending a Dao principle related to the earthly realm, considered a lower foundation than a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul]. Their path to the Primordial Spirit would not be traversed in a single day.

Having considered this, Eldrin Chen spoke, "I have my own plans for supporting the family's younger generation."

"However, there may be a surplus of Nascent Soul Pill [a precious elixir that significantly aids a Nascent Soul cultivator in advancing their cultivation]. I intend to secure a few to nurture some of the rising talents within the Purple Realm."

"Oh?" Read the full novel exclusively on audio-novel.com.

Thalion Chen raised a brow and inquired, "There are many promising youths in the Purple Realm. Whom do you plan to support?"

"Observe their character and conduct, and select the most worthy,"

Eldrin Chen explained calmly, his eyes as still as a placid lake. "Although my own ascension to the Dao is not of great duration, I may, with some humility, claim to be one of the pillars of the Purple Realm."

"Henceforth, every Millennium [a period of one thousand years], I shall ascend Clear Source Mountain to expound upon the Dao of cultivation for the younger generation of the Purple Realm. Those with notable talent shall receive my support. This is my way of repaying the many sages and worthies of this land."

"Oh?"

Thalion Chen's expression shifted with a jolt of realization, and he spoke, "When will this Dao Lecture commence, and what are its requirements?"

"It shall begin one Jiazi-time [a cycle of sixty years] from now."

Eldrin Chen rose to his full height and strode out of the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire. His voice carried back, "Over these many years, countless sages and predecessors have selflessly sacrificed, falling in battle for the grand destiny of the Purple Realm. Among them were Demonic Tribe Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] experts, and even Demonic Path Patriarch [a supreme master of the demonic cultivation path] of the caliber of Longgu the Daoist."

"These individuals all died for the Purple Realm. Naturally, I too must cultivate a heart as vast and receptive as a valley, harboring no selfish intent."

"Therefore, this Dao Lecture shall not discriminate by origin. As long as one has not committed acts that enrage both heaven and mortals, and as long as their ancestors or myself have ever fought for the Purple Realm, they are welcome to come and listen to the Dao."

Eldrin Chen departed from Spirit Lake Isle and returned to the Daoist Assembly Ground [a sacred gathering place for cultivators] on Verdant Chariot Mountain. Upon his return, he immediately summoned several of his disciples and the most promising rising stars of his clan.

Before long, seven individuals arrived within his Cultivation Cave [a secluded cavern used for meditation and cultivation]: Silas Chen, Ethan Chen, Elara Lin, Lana Gu, Caspian Chen, Sylas Ye, and Alistair Lu.

Within the Spirit Spring Cave Abode [a cave dwelling nourished by a spiritual spring] where Thalion Chen had once secluded himself to heal, Eldrin Chen gazed upon the seven before him and gave a mental nod of approval.

Among these seven, Caspian Chen, Sylas Ye, Lana Gu, and Alistair Lu all possessed a Superior Grade Dao Body [an exceptional innate physique perfectly suited for cultivation]. Each was a talent with genuine Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] potential, the very Nascent Soul Seed [a cultivator with the potential to reach the Nascent Soul realm] candidates Eldrin Chen had painstakingly nurtured over the long years.
