Heart Inquiry Hall, Core Pill Room
Chen Sheng ford a spell with his hand, flicking the furnace wall with his fingers, his movents smooth and fluid.
Twelve perfectly spherical and clear "Cognition Pills", with faint pill patterns, were seemingly pulled by invisible threads, leaping into the Suet Jade Purification Bottle suspended in mid-air one by one!
As the pills collided, they emitted a clear jade-like chi, the dicinal fragrance with a spirituality, lingering but not dispersing.
"Collect!"
The sealing talisman on the Jade Bottle activated, flashing with a stream of light.
A trace of a smile appeared on Chen Sheng’s face:
"Another forty contribution points!"
At Chen Sheng’s alchemy efficiency, a re hundred furnaces, even while attending to cultivation, could be completed in at most a month.
"It’s a pity there’s a limit; otherwise, I could produce several Foundation Establishnt Pills a year."
Chen Sheng shook his head slightly, suppressing the greed in his heart:
"This is also good, greed clouds judgnt revealing a greedy visage, which makes the higher-ups averse, it would not be favorable."
"Steady progress is the true path."
At that mont.
The Jade Token at his waist flashed.
Scanning it with his spiritual sense, a ssage appeared in his heart.
[Qinghua Sect Inner Sect Notice: Pill Hall Steward Disciple Zhao Jinhua succeeded in establishing Dao Foundation at the sect’s ’Jade Marrow Spirit Pool’ at the hour of Shen!]
Chen Sheng’s eyes imdiately brightened:
"Brother Zhao succeeded in Foundation Establishnt!"
"He really beca Elder Zhao!"
"Brother Zhao broke through first, looks like I should also put in more effort!"
...
Another month passed.
Training chamber.
The Profound Iron Cold Furnace was gushing bone-chilling century-old cold essence, slowly nourishing the body.
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged like an ancient pine, the qi from the Ninth Layer of the Li Fire Technique surged like a river.
The Third Layer of the "Profound Frost Body Refining Technique", "Ice Skin and Jade Bones" had reached mastery, with cyan jade-like radiance faintly appearing under the skin.
The internal organs under the alternation of ice and fire tempering were full of vitality, muscles and bones resounding like dragon roars.
Soon enough.
His ridians reached their limit, Chen Sheng opened his eyes, thinking to himself:
"Today’s cultivation task is complete."
"Steadily advancing in qi refining and body refining,"
"I estimate that within five years, both can reach Tier One Perfection."
Chen Sheng’s cultivation was solid and steady, without any rush, ticulously comprehending the transformation of each realm.
He even reserved ti to carefully refine mana, truly accumulating for the explosive mont of Foundation Establishnt!
"As for qi refining, there’s no need to worry about the Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"But for body refining, as it reaches later stages, resource consumption becos vast, and the various body refining treasures needed for Foundation Establishnt are even rarer than Foundation Establishnt Pills, requiring so planning."
Chen Sheng thought slowly in his heart.
At this mont.
He gazed at his palm.
A nearly substantial red-gold spirit fla leaped into existence!
The core of this fla exuded a deep azure, radiating not just sheer heat but a majesty that purifies filth and repels evils.
Chen Sheng stared intently at this spirit fla, thinking slowly:
"Cyan Yang Treasure Fla, a Tier Two Lower Grade peculiar fla."
"I hope it can assist in comprehending the transformation of yang."
In this path of transformation.
The further you go, the more difficult it becos.
A Tier One spirit fla, even a top grade one, is better than nothing at Chen Sheng’s current level.
Fortunately, at this ti, Zhao Jinhua successfully established the foundation, gaining significant influence within the sect.
Chen Sheng asked for his help, acquiring a rare Tier Two Lower Grade ’Cyan Yang Treasure Fla’, hoping to leverage it to break through the bottleneck!
Chen Sheng’s fingers pinched a spell like a blossoming lotus, whispering:
"Absorb!"
A stream of fla, condensed so finely it was like a needle tip, was stripped away, transford into a gold and azure interwoven thread, inhaled through the nose, finally converging in the origin of the dantian.
Chen Sheng’s spiritual sense instantly sank into the sea of fire in the dantian.
"Boom!"
The fire lotus, like encountering a natural enemy, erupted with red-gold furious flas, the two clashing violently, stirring up a storm of energy interwoven with red-gold and deep azure.
"Finally, there’s so effect!"
A thought flashed rapidly through his mind.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes tightly, his heart spirit locked onto the core node where the two differing fire essences fused and obliterated then birthed anew.
Comprehend ticulously!
...
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Chen Sheng sat like a stone sculpture, his body steaming with a sweat mist mixed with a cyan gold aura.
"Puff!"
A wisp of turbid air spewed from Chen Sheng’s mouth, finally condensing into a gray-black crystal and falling down.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing deep fatigue and disappointnt:
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
"No wonder this thod is difficult even for most Tier Two alchemists to achieve perfection. The Tier Two peculiar fla only broke open a slight gap for , unable to comprehend even a shred of its nature."
"Who knows when the yin and yang will harmonize?"
Chen Sheng shook his head, absorbing qi again.
It was not easy to glimpse a slight gap, now it must be stabilized completely, better than no advancent at all.
...
The mundane Da Jing, Duke of England’s Mansion, Lanting Pavilion.
Incense swirled, dew moistened the window.
Bai Yutang knelt on a cushion, his plain cloud brocade daoist robe replacing the luxurious embroidered attire.
Tomorrow.
Is the day to follow the Immortal Master back to the Sun-Holding Clan.
At this mont of parting.
The courtyard was filled with the lancholy of departure.
Bai Yutang’s mother was Bai Li’s legitimate wife, of Chen Clan origin, with phoenix eyes and willowy brows, normally full of heroic decisiveness.
Yet at this mont, her eyes were tearful, clutching the youth’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go:
"Yutang, still so young, has to leave us. Who knows if in this life we will ever et again?"
"My child, you must stay safe!"
Bai Li stood silently by the window, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, quickly replaced by determination.
The suppression over the years made him deeply understand, what is ’power’? In this great era of Immortal Dao, only by becoming an Immortal Master can one preserve worldly wealth.
"Alright, prepare so luggage for Yutang."
"Prepare more golden leaves, and all those dozen or more spirit stones, let him take them all."
Of course, Bai Li did not have channels to acquire spirit stones.
Now these dozen spirit stones at the mansion were obtained through clan channels, almost emptying the Duke’s mansion treasury.
Chen Clan hearing this, nodded silently.
...
Until nightfall.
Bai Li quietly summoned Bai Yutang to the ancestral hall, handing a jade pendant suspended before the hall to Bai Yutang:
"This is a token left by your uncle."
"The royal family’s attitude changed abruptly this year, the suppression disappeared, clearly your uncle made a na for himself."
Bai Yutang hearing this, nodded slightly, couldn’t help asking: "Uncle is actually?"
Bai Li sighed softly:
"This all originates from the White Dragon River..."
Bai Li slowly recounted past events, a hint of nostalgia flickered in his eyes.
Bai Yutang hearing this.
Only then did he know how his father rose from a fisher’s son to beco a Founding Duke.
After Bai Li finished speaking, his eyes locked firmly on Bai Yutang, his face serious:
"You must rember, your uncle doesn’t owe us anything, instead I owe him a lot."
"He left this as a gesture of goodwill."
"Goodwill is precious, but cannot withstand wear."
He pressed his hand on his son’s shoulder, who wanted to speak, and said:
"I now hand this to you, how to use it is entirely up to you."
"But rember, don’t use it lightly, don’t crave beyond asure!"
Bai Yutang hearing this, nodded gently:
"I understand, I will not act disrespectfully, harming the relations between our families."
Bai Li hearing this, felt sowhat reassured:
"You are always sensible, the matter of cultivation, I cannot help you, from now on, your future is in your hands."
Bai Yutang nodded gently:
"I understand, once I establish myself in the cultivation realm, I will bring my parents over to enjoy prosperity."
Bai Li hearing this, felt gratified at once:
"It’s good you have this intention."
"Alright, rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."
Bai Yutang nodded: "Yes."
