Chapter 880. Yin Yang Xuan Pill
After understanding the reason, Eldrin had a clear approach to refining the treasured pill.
He then took out the 2 supreme treasures—the Pure Yang Fruit and the Pure Yin Flower—and began the alchemical refinement.
Considering the medicinal properties of the Pure Yin Flower, he didn't even utilize the subterranean flame energy from the Purgatory Sea of Flames. Instead, he relied purely on his profound Primordial Chaos spiritual power combined with his formidable soul force to refine the essences of both precious ingredients.
So devoid of the fire energy of the mortal realm, refining it was already quite taxing. It was just that without the aid of sixth-grade earth fire, the process simply took a considerably longer time.
Fortunately, Eldrin possessed an immensely powerful soul force, and this elixir didn't require processing tens of thousands of auxiliary ingredients, making its refinement relatively straightforward.
Thus time flew by, and after spending a full 19 years, Eldrin finally succeeded in refining this batch of precious pills.
It is done.
On this day, 4 resplendent precious pills flew out in succession from the treasure cauldron.
Yet upon that spirit pill, a hazy ‘Yin-Yang Profound Radiance’ bloomed, adorned with swirling patterns of yin and yang energy, exuding an aura of transcendent mystery as seamless and unified as the primordial chaos.
"This treasure pill."
The moment Eldrin laid eyes on the treasured pill, a wave of relief washed over him, followed by an unmistakable glow of delight.
Before him lay a treasure pill forged from the union of 2 supreme treasures of Yin and Yang, born from the convergence of dual energies, harboring a transcendent divinity in perfect primordial unity.
It could be said this was no mortal treasure pill, nor an object of the netherworld, but a Chaos Immortal Pill transcending both realms—1 likely only ever seen in the immortal domains.
"This elixir is refined from the pure Yang fruit and pure Yin flower, containing the supreme mystery of harmonizing Yin and Yang. Consuming it allows 1 to comprehend the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang, greatly enhancing cultivation of the primordial spirit. Perhaps it should be named the 'Yin-Yang Profundity Comprehension Pill'."
Eldrin murmured softly, bestowing a name upon this precious elixir.
This 'Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill' possesses wondrous and boundless effects, containing the unified power of pure yin and pure yang. When a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) consumes it, their magical power and cultivation will surge dramatically, saving them 2 1000 years of arduous cultivation.
And 2 1000 years of arduous cultivation would suffice for a cultivator at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm to advance to the third level of the Nascent Soul realm.
This filled Eldrin with immense joy. He found Lyra and the others, and with boundless delight, presented the precious elixir to them.
Lyra gazed at the precious elixir, and upon comprehending its effects, exclaimed with ecstatic fervor, "The medicinal potency of this Yin-Yang Profundity Pill is truly astonishing—it likely rivals even a top-grade, sixth-rank treasure elixir!"
"You can refine 4 pills in a single batch—your alchemy skills must have reached the upper tier of the sixth rank."
Eldrin nodded, then shook his head with a light laugh. "The efficacy of this Yin-Yang Profundity Pill is truly extraordinary, primarily due to the remarkable properties of its 2 main ingredients. It is precisely because the Pure Yin Blossom transcends mortal origins that such miraculous effects can be achieved."
Moreover, concocting this elixir requires no auxiliary ingredients, so its difficulty level likely only reaches that of a low-grade sixth-tier pill—at most, it could be considered approaching the complexity of a mid-grade sixth-tier pill.
After chatting for a while and dividing the 4 Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pills among themselves, Eldrin advised solemnly, "While we still have time, let's swiftly refine these precious pills to enhance our cultivation."
"With this precious elixir, our cultivation is bound to advance another step further."
After obtaining the precious pill, Eldrin returned to his cave abode in the Spirit Lake Continent and consumed the Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill to enhance his cultivation.
This Yin-Yang Profound Mystery Pill brimmed with boundless Yin and Yang energies. These 2 forces intertwined and coalesced, giving birth to an immensely profound creative energy that elevated its efficacy to nearly match that of a sixth-tier, superior-grade Pure Yang Treasure Pill.
The instant Eldrin consumed the elixir, a surge of boundless creation energy flooded his body, tempering both his physical form and spiritual soul.
"Boom—"
Amidst a continuous series of thunderous roars, Eldrin’s magical power surged rapidly. Only after he fully refined the treasure pill did his cultivation break through to the second level of the Nascent Soul realm, and his mana increased by over 20 percent.
Such a tremendous surge of magical power further amplified Eldrin's strength. Though he dared not claim to rival the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, it far surpassed the sixth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, approximating about 80 percent of the seventh layer's prowess.
"A single pill could save 2 1000 years of arduous cultivation."
"It seems that for a cultivator to achieve greatness, relying solely on arduous cultivation is hardly a viable path."
Eldrin murmured under his breath, a faint smile blooming in his heart.
Although this breakthrough had merely enhanced his magical power and could not be considered a 20 percent increase in overall strength, it still represented significant progress. From now on, the potency of all his spiritual treasures and immortal swords would be amplified by several degrees when wielded.
This gave him a growing sense of confidence in the upcoming battle.
With this thought, he emerged from the seclusion chamber, only then realizing he had been in closed-door cultivation for 7 years.
At this moment, Lyra and the others were all in seclusion, leaving him as the sole individual emerging from the meditation chamber.
After briefly acquainting himself with the family affairs, he proceeded to the Flaming Prison of Blazing Seas and sought out the elderly clan leader residing there.
Seeing the Elder Uncle, Eldrin said with a smile, "I heard the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree recently bore fruit, so I came to see how you've been refining the Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult."
Chen Changxuan shook his head repeatedly, a bitter smile spreading across his face as he said, "The Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams (Magic Treasure) contains boundless Daoist profundities. To refine it to the Pure Yang realm is naturally fraught with 10 1000 hardships."
"I have arduously studied the 8 Trigrams Treasure Tree for many years, expending the majority of our clan's Enlightenment Tea, yet regrettably, I have still failed to deduce its refinement method to the Sixth Order realm."
Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly before he murmured thoughtfully, “The master of the Dao Palace once refined a complete set of the Treasure Banner of the 8 Trigrams. He must possess the method to forge its Soul Manifestation Chapter.”
"When I have a moment to spare, I shall visit the Dao Palace Sanctuary to see if I can retrieve the refinement method for the 8 Trigrams Demon-Refining Banner (Magic Treasure)."
"Very well." Chen Changxuan nodded, then spoke, "There's no need to rush. Although we've obtained the 8 Trigrams Pure Yang Essence now, it will still take at least 3 100 years to fully integrate them into the treasure flags."
"It won't be too late to seek advancement methods by then."
Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod, temporarily setting the matter aside for now.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he inquired, "I have been preoccupied in recent years and haven't had time to concern myself with matters of the Eastern Wastelands. How fares that region now?"
No major troubles had occurred, and Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) along with the others had been proceeding rather smoothly.
Chen Changxuan smiled faintly and began recounting the changes that had occurred in the Eastern Wastelands (Location) over recent years.
It turned out that ever since Eldrin successfully refined the Divine Soul Elixir 60 years ago, figures like Lilith, Mistress of Desire and Ji Xuanyin had successively entered seclusion to break through to the Divine Soul realm.
Now that a cycle of 60 years had passed, these individuals had all progressed fairly smoothly. Among them, Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) had advanced most remarkably—rumor held she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage not long after entering seclusion, becoming a rare Nascent Soul Dao Lord in the Eastern Wastes.
Ji Xuan Yin, blessed with a profoundly solid foundation, attained the Nascent Soul realm without excessive difficulty. He even leveraged the Chen Clan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Artifact to transcend his Nascent Soul Tribulation.
Chapter 1 The biting cold wind swept across the mountain peaks, howling like countless vengeful spirits. Lin Feng tightened his tattered robe, his fingers trembling slightly as he clutched the 3 Low-Grade Spirit Stones that remained. These were all the resources he possessed for his cultivation. "Just half a month left," he murmured to himself, his gaze drifting toward the distant main peak where the sect's assessment would take place. "If I can't break through to the third layer of Qi Refining by then..." He didn't dare finish the thought. Being expelled from the Azure Cloud Sect meant returning to the mortal world—a fate worse than death for someone who had tasted the path of immortality. Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted in his mind. Countless strange symbols flooded his consciousness, swirling and coalescing into 3 ancient, golden characters: The Path of Omniscience. "What is this?" Lin Feng gasped, clutching his forehead. The pain subsided as quickly as it came, leaving behind a mysterious connection in his soul. He could vaguely sense that this "Path of Omniscience" could peer into the secrets of heaven and earth, but activating it required consuming Spirit Stones. Hesitating for only a moment, Lin Feng made his decision. He gripped 1 of the Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his palm and focused his mind on that mysterious connection. The Spirit Stone in his hand instantly turned into powder. At the same time, a stream of information flowed into his mind: "Flaw detected in the 'Azure Cloud Art' circulation path. Adjusting the spiritual energy flow through the Tianzhu acupoint can increase cultivation speed by 30 percent." Lin Feng's eyes widened in disbelief. The Azure Cloud Art was the foundational cultivation method of their sect, perfected by countless predecessors over thousands of years. How could there be flaws? And this adjustment method... it seemed incredibly profound. He immediately sat in meditation, following the guidance from the Path of Omniscience to redirect his spiritual energy. An hour later, Lin Feng opened his eyes, astonishment flashing across his face. The efficiency of his cultivation had indeed improved dramatically, nearly doubling compared to before! "This... this is incredible!" He could hardly contain his excitement. With this speed, breaking through to the third layer of Qi Refining before the assessment was no longer impossible! But soon, Lin Feng calmed down. He understood that such a heaven-defying ability must never be revealed. In the cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, guarding secrets was a matter of life and death. He turned his gaze toward the distant main peak, his eyes now filled with unprecedented determination. "The path of immortality is long and fraught with hardships, but with the Path of Omniscience... I will definitely reach the pinnacle!"
