True Spirit Advancement

Carrying the materials for the Demon-Transforming Pill, Yang Tianyou used the Starlight Escape technique. With the support of the Magnetism Power, he transformed into a streak of blue-green lightning that chased stars and the moon, soaring freely across the sky.

Upon arriving at Crouching Ox Pass, Yunhua was playing the zither under Red Maple Tree. Seeing him approach, the melodious music seemed to become plaintive and poignant.

Upon hearing the music, Yang Tianyou also became interested, took out a long sword, and began to wield it.

To be honest, when it comes to aesthetics, the knife always falls a little short of the sword, which explains why Sword Cultivators are more popular among Cultivators.

As the music ended, Yunhua chuckled softly, her long black hair cascading down, her posture graceful and elegant. "Have you gathered all the materials for the Demon-Transforming Pill?"

"Hmm, we've got one set. Thirteenth Brother is quick!" Yang Tianyou sheathed his longsword, sat down next to Yunhua, and gently reached out his right hand to naturally embrace her slender waist.

"Then let's go. Start Alchemy. The sooner your father's injuries are suppressed, the better!" Yunhua waved his hand, put away the Nine-String Zither in front of him, and turned to look at Yang Tianyou.

"Yes, that's what I meant too!"

The two then went to the Alchemy Chamber.

Yunhua skillfully ignited the Flaming Blaze Formation, which had already been upgraded to Third-Tier Middle-Grade. In the Red-Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, a Flaming Blaze True Fire suddenly burst into flames.

The two worked together seamlessly, with Yang Tianyou handling the spirit medicine and Yunhua refining the Pills. Their process was smooth and natural.

The Yin-Yang Grinding Disc slowly rotated, and a ball of milky white medicinal liquid was refined time and time again. The essence gathered, the impurities fell away, and finally it became a ball of crystal clear semi-transparent liquid.

"Point!"

Yunhua gave a soft shout and used the Pill-Separation Method the elixir to divide the liquid into four portions.

Laugh!!

Flames erupted, and the liquid medicine was instantly reduced to ashes.

Yunhua remained expressionless, her delicate hands lightly forming Mudra, and streams of Spirit Mark were released and entered into the Pill Furnace.

An hour later, with a slight tremor in the Pill Furnace, three round pills, radiating a hazy glow, flew out and landed in a Pills bottle that had been prepared beforehand.

Third-Tier Middle-Grade Demon-Transforming Pill, successful!

Carrying the Pills, Yang Tianyou bid farewell to Yunhua and returned to Purple Moon Mountain.

They arrived at their own courtyard without stopping. As soon as they opened the door, their mother, Duan Hongyu, turned to look at them, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Mother, this is Demon-Transforming Pill. One pill is enough to suppress the Devil Qi within Father's body for two years!"

Yang Tianyou quickly stepped forward, handed over the Demon-Transforming Pill, and said softly.

"Good, good, your father is finally saved!" Duan Hongyu cried tears of joy, then poured out a Demon-Transforming Pill and gave it to Yang Qiongchu.

The Pills took effect immediately upon entering the body.

Strands of Devil Qi flowed back and condensed in the father's middle Dantian, forming a black patch the size of a fingertip.

At the same time, Yang Qiongchuan's originally pale complexion began to regain its rosy hue, and with his even breathing, Yang Tianyou and his mother were completely relieved.

"Let's go out and let your father get some sleep!" the mother said, standing up.

"Okay!" Yang Tianyou nodded with a smile.

Three days later, Yang Qiongchu opened his eyes in a daze, and only then did Yang Tianyou finally feel completely at ease.

In the dimly lit, Seclusion Chamber, Yang Tianyou took out a portion of Yin-Soul Liquid and consumed it.

This is the entire inventory of the Yang Household, enough to raise the True Spirit of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator to the Early Golden Core.

Yang Tianyou's current True Spirit Strength is at the peak of the Early Golden Core. After consuming the Yin-Soul Liquid, a cool sensation rushed up from his abdomen and into his True Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness.

In fact, the structure of a cultivator's soul is extremely complex.

The most essential thing is the True Spirit, but the True Spirit is also divided into inner and outer, the core True Spirit and the outer True Spirit.

Among these, the core True Spirit can never be enhanced by external forces. At least in the Lu Wu Realm, and even in the higher-level Heavenly Mountain Great Thousand Realm, there has never been a method to strengthen the core True Spirit.

Therefore, if the core True Spirit wants to grow stronger, it can only rely on the cultivator's physical body; as the level of life increases, the spirit will also be strengthened.

As for the function of the core True Spirit, it is only one thing: to resist the power of Reincarnation.

After a living being dies, the surface True Spirit will shatter directly, turning into a driving force that sends the core True Spirit into Reincarnation.

The core True Spirit of Mortals is weak and can only go through three Reincarnation before its mark is completely erased, and it disappears into nothingness.

As Cultivators improve their cultivation level, their core True Spirit also strengthens, enabling them to withstand repeated grinding by the power of Reincarnation. In this way, they actually have more opportunities to achieve Immortal Dao.

Once one becomes an immortal, all past events will flood back to one's mind. The so-called requirement to sever ties with worldly troubles and all Karma to become an immortal is actually rooted in this.

After becoming an immortal, one's core True Spirit becomes even more powerful, capable of withstanding countless Reincarnations without perishing. Even if one perishes due to calamity, there is a great chance of returning to one's original position. This is a major reason why Cultivators pursue immortality.

That said, beyond the core True Spirit lies the surface True Spirit, which can be enhanced through special Spirit Items such as Yin-Soul Liquid.

At the same time, the surface True Spirit is also the foundation upon which a cultivator's Life-Bound Spiritual Object is carried. In the Cultivation World, the True Spirit usually referred to is actually the surface True Spirit most of the time.

Beyond the surface True Spirit lies the soul, and extending further outwards are Spiritual Awareness and Divine Power.

These layers of division together constitute an incredibly sophisticated and complex system of the soul.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, accompanied by waves of cool energy flowing into his True Spirit, the True Spirit, which was already the size of a human head, began to slowly grow until it broke through a minor bottleneck and then stopped.

Buzz!!

A strange sense of emptiness swept over him. Yang Tianyou was very familiar with this feeling; he had felt the same way before the Contract Tongming and the Xuanyin.

After the contract was signed between the two, that feeling disappeared, replaced by a sense of fulfillment, like a wagon fully loaded with goods.

"Now Xuanyin and Zhiming can begin their breakthroughs!" Yang Tianyou muttered to himself. "But before that, we need to prepare more Spirit Items for them to Tribulation Transcendence. Especially for Zhiming, although he's an auspicious beast and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation will be greatly reduced, he doesn't have much combat power after all, so it's better to be safe!"

Thinking of this, he left the Seclusion Chamber, went to the Lineage warehouse, took out several materials for refining Third-Tier Talisman, and then asked the Old Ancestor to refine a defensive magic Law Artifact for each of the two beasts.

After doing all that, Yang Tianyou still felt it wasn't enough, so he sent a message to his Thirteenth Brother, asking him to prepare a few Third Tier Wound-Healing Pills and Qi-Replenishing Pill Medicine. The Hun Tian Treasure Pill and Spring-Returning Mystic Origin Pill that the Old Ancestor used to Tribulation Transcendence were quite good.

Upon receiving the message, Yang Tianjiu readily agreed and promised to deliver the Pills to Yang Tianyou within a month.
