Chapter 405: Chapter 403 Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill
“Senior Brother, the spiritual materials for refining the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill have been prepared.”
You Shulan and Jin Yi stood respectfully behind Zhong Lin, their eyes filled with undisguised excitement and enthusiasm.
The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill, an Eighth Grade Elixir, can gather the power of the five elements of heaven and earth to enhance the Spiritual Origin.
They were excited that Zhong Lin was about to start refining an Eighth Grade Elixir and attempt to become an Eighth Rank Alchemist.
An Eighth Rank Alchemist! In the entire Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, the number of Eighth Rank Alchemists could be counted on one hand, and now they were about to witness such a sacred moment. How could they not be excited, thrilled, and passionate!
Zhong Lin nodded, turned, and walked towards the Alchemy Room, followed closely by Jin Yi and You Shulan.
The Star-falling Giant Cauldron stood quietly in the center of the Alchemy Room, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.
Without immediately igniting the Yin Ruins Dragon Fire, Zhong Lin operated his Spiritual Origin with a palm motion, capturing here and there, causing the prepared herbs to rise and dance in the air.
“Shock!”
With a shock of Zhong Lin’s fist wind, the herbs shattered instantly, turning into the finest powder.
At the same time, his left hand flicked a finger, and the Yin Ruins Dragon Fire ignited instantly, sweeping through the entire Star-falling Giant Cauldron with its wild flames.
The herbs, already crushed into powder, under Zhong Lin’s control, turned into vortexes spinning to the extreme, with the scorching Yin Ruins Dragon Fire released, melting all the powder into streams of air in an instant.
Thick “Medicine Qi” rolled in the air while heaps of herbal residue remained on the ground.
Unlike a Seventh Grade Alchemist, reaching the level of an Eighth Rank Alchemist is not something that ordinary alchemy techniques can achieve.
In refining an Eighth Grade Elixir, it’s no longer about the physical state but about forming streams of air, hence the process starts as “Medicine Qi,” disregarding liquid, powder, or paste forms.
Only by separating all residue can the purest Medicine Qi be extracted, and only the purest Medicine Qi can refine an Eighth Grade Elixir.
Similarly, the difficulty of alchemy increases exponentially, as controlling air streams is inherently more challenging.
Yet, for Zhong Lin, these were tasks he could perform effortlessly, especially with the assistance of the System Panel; these procedures were already familiar to him.
The massive quantities of herbs transformed into rolling Medicine Qi, but under Zhong Lin’s meticulous control, they remained distinct and separate.
Next was to follow the predetermined order, combining these Medicine Qi streams two by two, three by three, or five by five, merging them together to maximize the efficacy, even elevating it further, merging it into a single pill.
Several days later, with a roaring sound from the Star-falling Giant Cauldron, the medicinal fragrance filling the entire alchemy room seemed to reverse time and started wildly reverting.
Zhong Lin suddenly opened his eyes, waved his right hand, and the lid of the Pill Furnace flew off, releasing a pill the size of a dragon’s eye, brightly colored and with five-colored whirlpools rotating, constantly absorbing something as it flew out.
Without considering anything else, the mere appearance showed it was undoubtedly a Top Grade Elixir, rare and precious.
“It’s done, it’s refined.”
“Senior Brother, the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill is completed. You have become an Eighth Rank Alchemist.”
Jin Yi and You Shulan were so excited their faces flushed red, almost jumping up.
They witnessed the birth of an Eighth Rank Alchemist.
Zhong Lin also smiled, his right hand reaching out and catching the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill in his palm.
The entire Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill had a sense of being both real and illusory, looking almost intangible yet emanating immense power.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother, on advancing to an Eighth Rank Alchemist.”
“Congratulations, Senior Brother, on advancing to an Eighth Rank Alchemist.”
You Shulan and Jin Yi bowed deeply to Zhong Lin, loudly congratulating him.
“Hahaha, no need for formalities, let me first test the efficacy of this elixir.”
Zhong Lin’s palm trembled.
Boom!
The pill changed the moment it touched Zhong Lin’s Spiritual Origin, exploding with great force into a five-colored vortex enveloping him.
Jin Yi and You Shulan exchanged a glance, then slowly exited the alchemy room, guarding the door from either side, preventing anyone from approaching.
“Such potent medicinal strength, so domineering, indeed an Eighth Grade Elixir, an ordinary person truly couldn’t bear it.”
Zhong Lin immediately sensed the characteristics of the elixir.
The Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill, named after the Five Elements, can transform within these elements, allowing anyone cultivating a Five Elements technique to absorb and refine it without pressure.
As for Zhong Lin, there was no need to mention it. The Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill he cultivated could directly refine it.
Zhong Lin sat cross-legged, forcefully operating his Spiritual Origin to devour the medicinal power.
An hour passed, two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours.
The five-colored vortex gradually shrank and then integrated into his Xuandan, becoming pure life Qi.
Zhong Lin felt as if a five-colored vortex had formed in his Xuandan, enhancing its absorption of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, also making the Xuandan more refined and compact.
Surging and overwhelming.
Who knows how much time passed, and suddenly Zhong Lin opened his eyes, sparkling brightly, and stood up, as imposing as a mountain.
“Excellent, indeed an Eighth Grade Elixir, the medicinal power isn’t even fully refined, yet I’ve reached the Late Stage Peak, potentially stepping into the Perfection Realm at any moment.”
Dong!!!
Dong!!!
Dong!!!
Suddenly, a series of bell sounds rang out, leading Zhong Lin to stride out of the alchemy room, looking up in the direction of Heavenly Sword City in the distance.
“Senior Brother, the Outer Disciple competition is about to start, that’s the summoning bell,” Jin Yi said.
“Oh? How long have I been in seclusion?”
“Senior Brother has been in seclusion for three days.”
“Three days? I see.”
As he spoke, Zhong Lin stepped out, and the Outer Disciple competition began.
…
The heavy snow had not stopped, with flurries of large snowflakes continuing to fall as the bell rang endlessly.
The sound spread across the entire Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, melodious and soothing, summoning numerous Outer Disciples.
Each disciple traversed the void, drawing arcs as they headed towards Heavenly Sword Peak backing the Heavenly Sword City, the site of the competition, the towering peak enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of disciples.
“Haha, the Outer Disciple competition has finally begun, this time I, Tian Yucheng, will make a name across the entire Outer Sect.”
“I hear the rewards for this competition from the Sect are extremely lavish, including a Mystical Artifact and many powerful Top Grade Spiritual Artifacts. Rumor has it there’s also a reward of a Yin Yang Melt Spirit Pill, far more generous than the previous competition. I wonder who will win it?”
“The Eastern Desolate Ten Domains are hosting a Martial Arts tournament, the Sect wants to discover more potential disciples to advance to the Yin Yang Realm, naturally sparing no expense to develop capable disciples for reputation in the Martial Arts tournament.”
