"Senior, I will never forget the grace of your rebirth!"
Light lit up in the Mid-Grade Talisman Puppet's eye sockets, followed by the Tomb Mansion Master's excited voice.
He could feel that the power of his Lingering Soul Fragment, which had originally been constantly fading with time, had now been completely stabilized, as though locked in place!
"Great Accomplishment of Creation Qi Realm, combined with your Nirvana Realm methods and foundation—you should be able to wield strength comparable to the Creation Realm, right?"
"From now on, you will guard the Lin Family. When Old Man brings High Tier Monster Cores next month, we can strengthen the Talisman Puppet even further."
Putting away the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Old Yao smiled and drifted directly toward the Nirvana Heart. He began studying it, probing its essence with Soul Power.
"Senior, I entered the Nirvana Realm through Yin Yang Power in my lifetime. Thus, what I left behind requires the harmonization of yin and yang to unlock. If yin and yang are not harmonized, one will surely suffer the consequence of being burned alive."
"Therefore, this Nirvana Heart requires a man and a woman to absorb it together."
There was some embarrassment in Hehuanzi's voice.
The Yin Yang Power mentioned here was naturally not the yin and yang of Heaven and Earth, but male yang and female yin.
Put nicely, this thing was called Yin Yang Power. Put bluntly, it was called Dual Cultivation Power. Those who used such power to strengthen themselves could be called Joyful Masters if one wanted to be polite, or practitioners of crooked paths if not. More harshly, they were simply lechers.
"It does not matter. Old Man is merely studying it. As for who will absorb the Nirvana Heart, let the youngsters decide."
"Old Man happens to possess a dual cultivation technique. It was gifted by an old acquaintance from the Flower Sect. Though it cannot be used directly, it can be modified without affecting Origin Energy cultivation."
Old Yao nodded. A trace of nostalgia and reminiscence passed through his aged eyes. With a thought, a pink scroll engraved with peach blossom patterns flew out of the Ancient Ring in Xiao Yan's hand.
Then, without waiting for their reactions, he closed his eyes and floated above the Nirvana Heart, immersing himself in research.
One could use another mountain's stones to polish jade. For a top Alchemist like Old Yao, the collision of inspirations and mysteries from different systems was undoubtedly a delight.
"Eldest Brother, this..."
Lin Dong scratched his head, unsure what to say for the moment.
Among the two people and three ghosts present, they probably could not even piece together a single couple.
How was this Nirvana Heart supposed to be allocated?
"Second Brother, keep this technique. Once Teacher finishes researching it, have Godfather and Godmother come to the Tomb Mansion to cultivate in seclusion."
"With this Nirvana Heart and Teacher's dual cultivation technique, when we meet again next month, the Lin Family will have at least two Form Creation Realm Experts guarding it."
"Besides, you might even gain another little brother or sister."
Xiao Yan had nothing to agonize over and teased him with a smile.
He was still young. His father and Fourth Uncle-Grandfather had both been widowed for many years. Among the upper-level combat strength of the Lin Family and Xiao Family, after careful consideration, only Lin Xiao and Liu Yan, this married couple, were the most suitable.
Though their main purpose in opening the Tomb Mansion this time had been the Nirvana Heart, neither he nor Old Yao intended to absorb it. They only wanted to study its properties and use them to improve and create pill formulas capable of increasing the strength of Dou Ling Experts.
"Ah, well... cough, cough. Then I will thank Eldest Brother on behalf of my father and mother."
After coughing lightly a few times, Lin Dong put the cultivation technique scroll into his Universe Bag.
Then, escorted by Hehuanzi, he left the Tomb Mansion with Little Sable and headed for Yan City.
They were going to bring Lin Xiao and Liu Yan over.
Time never returned once it had passed~
In the blink of an eye, two days went by.
The Tomb Mansion had become lively. Lin Dong, Qing Tan, Lin Xiao, and Liu Yan—the family of four—were joined by Little Sable, Hehuanzi, and Xiao Yan and his teacher.
This Tomb Mansion, which had been sealed for decades, finally had a little life to it.
"Hahahaha! Success! Old Man has deduced a new pill formula!"
Suddenly, a vigorous, resounding laugh echoed through the Main Hall, drawing everyone's attention.
They looked over and saw that Old Yao, who had been sitting cross-legged above the Nirvana Heart for a long time, had now opened his eyes.
"Teacher, what effect does the pill you created have?"
Xiao Yan asked impatiently.
The current Xiao Family had Spiritual Medicine Pills, Yang Yuan Pills, Pure Yuan Pills, Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills, the previously created Spirit Ascension Pills, and now this newly created pill...
Five years to Dou Ling, three years of swallowing pills!
A Da Dou Shi could take two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills and one Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill. After breaking through to Dou Ling, he could take another Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill and a Spirit Ascension Pill.
Even without counting the pill Old Yao had just created, once they returned, as long as the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills were perfectly refined, they could raise the Three Great Elders to at least the four-star Spirit Battle Realm!
As for Xiao Zhan, who was already a Dou Ling, he would become even stronger!
"This pill was created after Old Man comprehended some superficial mysteries of the Nirvana Heart and combined Dou Ling Condensation with the Intent of Form Creation. Let it be called the Form Creation Pill."
"After taking it, someone at Minor Accomplishment of Form Creation Realm can break through to Great Accomplishment of Form Creation Realm. If a Dou Ling Expert takes it, their strength will rise by four to six stars depending on their foundation and talent."
Old Yao stroked his beard with a smile, looking thoroughly proud.
In just two days, he had directly improved the Spirit Ascension Pill into the Form Creation Pill. Moreover, the effects of the two pills did not conflict, so they could be taken together.
With such astonishing comprehension and research ability, he indeed had every right to be proud.
"Hiss!"
"Senior's Alchemy Arts are truly unfathomable!"
"A pill that can directly raise one's strength—I have never even heard of such a thing!"
The effects of the Form Creation Pill greatly shocked everyone from the Profound Sky Continent.
The pills of the Profound Sky Continent could only serve as supplementary cultivation resources. To raise a minor realm, one needed to refine a vast quantity of pills.
How could they compare to what Old Yao had created? A single pill could save years or even decades of arduous cultivation and directly raise someone from Minor Accomplishment of Form Creation Realm to Great Accomplishment of Form Creation Realm!
"Teacher, do we have enough ingredients?"
Xiao Yan's eyes shone as he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Once successfully refined, a Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill could raise a Dou Ling Expert's strength by two stars;
A Spirit Ascension Pill could raise a Dou Ling Expert's strength by one star;
A Form Creation Pill could raise a Dou Ling Expert's strength by four to six stars.
Added together, that was at least seven stars and at most nine stars!
If a newly advanced Dou Ling was lucky, after swallowing a few pills, they could directly break through to Peak Dou Ling on the spot!
Was this the product born from the collision between the alchemy systems and cultivation systems of two continents?
A Cultivation Cheat?
No—this skipped the cultivation process entirely and directly gave one the cultivation of Peak Dou Ling!
With these pill formulas, as long as there were enough ingredients, the Xiao Family would have at least one Peak Dou Ling and three Dou Ling Experts above eight stars!
"Hehe, the ingredients are not particularly rare. Teacher has added some Spiritual Medicine unique to the Profound Sky Continent and lowered the cost as much as possible."
"No more talk. Teacher will begin refining pills now."
Old Yao chuckled, somewhat impatient himself. Two Bone Spirit Fire Talismans flew out from his eyes and, in an instant, transformed into two Seas of Fire, one above and one below.
Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, all kinds of ingredients poured into them like rivers, their impurities rapidly refined away.
"Having integrated the methods of Talisman Masters, Teacher can now batch-refine pills below the sixth tier."
Xiao Yan could not help but praise him.
He could recognize that, aside from the newly created Form Creation Pill, the other ingredients thrown into the Sea of Fire were for Spirit Ascension Pills.
Moreover, seven or eight sets of ingredients had been placed in for each kind of pill!
The two portions of Bone Spirit Cold Flame not only allowed Old Yao to refine two kinds of pills at once, but after combining them with the Sea of Fire Talisman Array, they enabled him to refine dozens or even hundreds of pills at a time.
Fortunately, Old Yao had not unleashed his full ability in the Dou Qi Continent. Otherwise, he alone would have driven down pill prices across the entire Northwest Continent.
One had to know that Alchemists in the Dou Qi Continent could only refine one pill at a time. They also had to concentrate completely, spending a great deal of time and effort.
How could they compare to Old Yao?
His pill-refining time was short, his efficiency high, and his speed swift. Relying on the Bone Spirit Fire Talismans, he had even achieved semi-automated alchemy!
If he continued researching like this, would he perhaps achieve fully automated alchemy in the future?
"Heavenly Gang Yang Flame, Nirvana Fire, Bone Spirit Cold Flame—the flames we have now are already enough to support Teacher in refining Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills."
"Once we return to the family, Father and the Three Great Elders may all be raised to Peak Dou Ling!"
His eyes flashed as Xiao Yan's face filled with anticipation.
Once they reached Peak Dou Ling, was the Dou Wang Realm really still far away?
